Chapter 1: The Most Beautiful Flower
Serena looked out her window. Days had passed since the fight with Galaxia, and for a short time she felt happy; like everything was how it should. That was until Darien told her that he actually had to go to his program to study overseas, because before he never actually made it. She felt her world come crashing down in a heap; she had just gotten him back and now he was leaving again? It wasn't fair. Time stopped for no one, and now all she had were memories to last her for the next few months. She felt a tear run down her cheek.
"Now Serena, don't cry! At least you know he's safe this time, time will fly and he'll be back in no time!" Luna said pouncing up on the bed to comfort her.
"I know Luna, I just wanted to feel right for a while you know? I wanted to go back to when Darien and I were always together…"
"You will be together. Soon…plus you always have that locket of his."
She had forgotten. The star locket. She pulled it out and let it play, as it lulled her to sleep for the night.
Little did she know, outside her house somebody was already looking to fill that void. Someone who was reborn to be good, but lost so much of his past from his memory that all he knew was that Sailor Moon had shown him the way. He was looking for this girl to thank her…and possibly more…
...
Serena was on her way to school. Last year at high school and she was already starting it off late as ever. She was running down the sidewalk when she bumped right into someone.
"Ouch!" She yelped as she fell backwards. She felt a brick of déjà vu hit her; she always bumped into Darien in the mornings she was late for school. Her stomach knoted.
"I'm sorry, let me help you."
She looked up surprised. Definitely had more manners then Darien did when it came to bumping into him…or at least back then he when he was rude to her. She looked up to see a man with long light brown reddish hair that came to his eyes. Why did he look so familiar?
"Thank you." She said hesitantly. "I gotta go.." She ran off in the direction of her school.
"I'll be seeing you soon." He smiled "Serena."
...
"What took you so long to get to school today Serena?" Molly asked, now eating lunch.
"Something weird happened." She answered.
"What did you run into some aliens or something cool like that?" Melvin said adjusting his glasses.
"Melvin!" Molly scolded.
"No…but I ran into this guy. And something about him was familiar…"
"Really did he go to our school?"
"No, he was older…maybe about Darien's age."
"Was he good looking?"
"Kind of. But that wasn't it…"
"Then what was it Serena?"
"I don't know." Serena sulked down into her chair.
"Well you've got Darien why does it matter who this other guy is?" Melvin said unknowingly.
"Melvin…" Molly gave him a sharp look.
"I know…I miss Darien…"
...
Serena walked back on her way from detention, home. The sun was already setting and she was tired and droopy eyed.
"How do I manage to get a detention on the first day of school?" She said aloud to herself yawning.
Then she started to notice something. Rose petals. The started to fall all around her.
"Wow I must be really tired. Better get home for some good food and rest."
"But it's not an illusion Serena it's real."
"Who are you? Where are you coming from?" She looked around but all she could here was the voice.
"Oh come on Serena, don't tell me you don't remember me?" Suddenly the same man that she had bumped into
this morning.
"It couldn't be."
"Oh but it is Serena, you tried to save my life. You tried to show me all that was good in the world, and I see know why Darien chose the rose as his flower. It was because of you. For that same reason I can only offer Darien that same flower."
"Fiore?"
"Yes Serena. I realize now why Darien chose you over me. You were his rose; his precious flower. You showed me something similar, and now I want to thank you for it."
Suddenly Fiore revealed his true self once again; the blue haired alien boy who had given his life to save Sailor Moon, after she risked her life to save the Earth.
"But why are you here? Darien is in America…heh, you don't really need to thank me?"
"But I do. I was looking for the most beautiful flower in the universe, and I found it. I grew up, a new life in the solar system. I found few people of my kind; turns out I wasn't alone. They verified that the only place in this universe that holds beauty worth fighting for is your Earth."
"So where is this flower? The rose?" She asked.
"No, the flower is you."
