The Future Was Ours
Chapter One: Where's Serena?
By: Damn Rose Tyler
Well I figured since I'm trying to get my writing skills back where the best place to start? Well, gee, the first fictions I wrote where Sailor Moon Related so maybe I can get back into the swing of this by writing some fics for it again. I always did like it and I can create ideas a little easier at this point. Don't forget to read my other fictions and please review. As I've stated before reviews keep writers writing.
Serena watched from the ally as Darien walked down the street, a young woman with red hair clinging to his arm her laughs were like poison to Serena's heart. There was no hope now; it was the only thought coursing though her mind. He had promised her forever once; it seemed like so long ago now. After Rini had appeared nothing made sense, it was like she didn't know Darien or the scouts anymore. With everyday Serena began to lose hope more and more, none of the other scouts knew of her pain or of the memories that tormented her dreams. Her memories of the Silver millennium where coming back in full force, It was time to tell Luna. At this point it was irrelevant if the scouts knew, the last thing they need was to feel obligated to someone they didn't even believe in. Serena sighed and placed some sunglasses on her face, taking one last look in Darien's direction, Serena turned towards home. It was a short walk home, Serena was just glad that her parents and Sammy where away visiting relatives, it would be harder to do what was needed if they were here.
"Luna? Are you home?" Serena walked up the stairs into her room. Luna's curious eyes greeted her.
"Where were you? There was a scout meeting today." Her voice was neutral, Serena knew she was irritated, but she was concerned as well. Sometimes Serena thought that Luna was the only one who understood.
"I was watching Darien, I know it's wrong and there are more important things to worry about, but I just had to see him one more time." Luna's ear perked up with the last of her statement.
"What do you mean the last time? Serena don't tell me you're going to do something stupid?" Serena looked at Luna, a silver tint to her eyes caused Luna to bow her head in respect.
"I'm sorry Serena I meant no disrespect." Serena sighed and shook her head, tears drifted silently down her face.
"It's ok Luna, I know. I need you to understand a few things, those dreams I've been having are about the Silver Millennium. I remember everything, my training my rights and what I need to do. With Darien ignoring me my time here on Earth is limited. The Moon Kingdom must be revived Luna." Luna stared at Serena and Blinked.
"You remember everything?" Serena nodded again and wiped her face.
"Without Darien I have no reason to be here, so the moon has been calling to me. I have to return and rebuild before it calls to my people as well. The scouts do not need to know about this or where I'm going."
Luna jumped up in a huff, "What do you mean they don't need to know, they are here to protect you. You'll need it even more with your Lunarian blood taking dominance!"
Serena sighed and rose from the bed. "I do not nor will i ever need to be protected. I have trained as a scout Luna, something that wasn't allowed in my past. With my memories awakened I have more control over the silver crystal, therefore I am more powerful know they all of the scouts together. To ease your mind the scout of time Sailor Pluto will be accompanying me along with Uranus, Neptune and Saturn."
Luna could only nod; the information was coming at her so fast it was almost impossible to comprehend.
"What about me?" Serena smiled and scratched behind her ears.
"You will take my place. Basically you'll be me while I'm away, not the same name and person of course/. My family will think you are their daughter and the scouts will just sit in limbo protecting this planet that I love so much."
"How can I do that?"
"I'm restoring your original form, when Artimis gets here I will do the same for him, as far as his living arrangements go, he will have to try and live with Darien or find his own place."
Luna smiled, tears in her eyes as she looked at Serena.
"Your mother would be proud of you Serena, restoring her kingdom and doing what is needed."
Serena closed her eyes and focused on the crystal, her gown appeared in a flash of light. Speaking the words of her home planet, Serena began the restoration spell.
"I grant you Luna the form of human for loyal service and ability. I also bestow upon you the power of Sailor scout. Do you swear to use these gifts to serve your kingdom?"
Luna bowed and nodded her head. A flash of light engulfed the room as Luna took the shape of human.
Luna looked at her hands; a childish smile came to her face.
"I had always wished for this day, you have given me the greatest gift my queen, and I will serve your wishes." Serena smiled and handed Luna a transformation pen and communicator.
"Yours and artimis' communicators are going to be the only ones that can reach me. Only use them when the situation is desperate because it will cost me a great deal of energy to come back here while I'm rebuilding the kingdom. Hand these tools to artimis and ask him the same pledge." Luna nodded and hugged Serena.
"You know that the scouts love you right? That they only treat you the way they do because they want you to better yourself." Serena nodded, "I know, it's just hard for me right now."
Luna hugged Serena again.
"When do you leave?" Serena smiled at Luna and grabbed her bag from the closet floor.
"I have one more stop before I leave. I have to say good bye."
Luna nodded in understand as Serena left the room for her final good bye of the day.
Serena looked up at the building before her, taking a deep breath she walked into the main lobby.
Rasing her hand Serena knocked on his door. She could hear shuffling inside and Rini laughing. Serena smiled weakly, oh she knew why they had such a bond she knew once her powers over the silver crystal was restored, that's what made this so much harder.
Darien opened the door to Serena's tear stained face, compassion briefly shone in his eyes.
"What now Serena, I thought we had gone over this already." Serena nodded and looked past him at Rini, who was looking at her with brief recognition in her eyes.
"I've come to say good bye. Rini can I have a hug from you before I go?"
Darien looked at Serena confuse, Rini even more so.
"Where are you going Serena?" Rini's voice was quite and filled with emotion.
"Away, I have things that need to be taken care of and it will be a long while before I'm here again." Darien just stood there watching her face for any sign of what was going on. Serena bent down and hugged Rini.
"Rini I want you to have this." Serena reached into her pocket and handed Rini her transformation broach. Darien motioned to say something but stopped short when Serena raised her hand.
"If you ever need me Rini just hold this and think of me, I'll come to you." Rini nodded and cried silently as Serena hugged her.
Darien looked at Rini, "Can I have a moment alone with Serena Rini?" She only nodded and retreated back into the living room.
"What's going on Serena? I know your hurt but that's no reason to act so irresponsible." Serena's eyes began to shine silver and her moon symbol began to glow almost threateningly on her brow. Darien recoiled for a second before he stood his ground.
"I will do as I please you no longer hold a right to me. I Serenity here by release you Prince of Earth from any bond we my have shared, from and duty you may have had to me. AS the new Queen of the moon, I grant you your freedom, from me and destiny." Darien grunted as he felt his heart break.
"What have you done?" Tear ran down his face.
"I removed our bond; I can no longer feel you as you can no longer feel me. Be happy Prince Edymond, you have your wish; you are no longer tied to destiny."
Darien could only blink, "Where are you going?"
Serena smiled sadly. "Away Darien so very far away, my spirit needs to heal; I need to find myself before I can do this planet and the scouts any good. I have left Luna in charge. She's human now just so you know." Serena reached into the duffle bag she was carrying and pulled out a small pink envelope.
"If you could, please give this to the scouts. It kind of explains things to them in a way." Darien took the letter and nodded.
"I wish you happiness Prince of Earth." With those last words Serena closed her eyes and vanished in a flash of pink and white light. Once Darien was sure she was gone he closed the door and collapsed into tears. He had done what he wanted he had pushed her away. He regretted it because had pushed her to a point he thought she would never reach. He felt emptier now then he had felt since his parents died. His princess, the love of his live was gone and there was no one to blame but himself.
Well that's enough for now, I'll update soon I'm kind of tired though it's like 1:30 in the morning. Don't forget to push that little button down there though; you know the one that says review. Reviews keep writers writing!
Adios until the next chapter!
