The year ended and ringing in the new year was uneventful for Darien. He had spent most of new years eve and day in the hospital because stupid people did stupid things around that time and it gave him more hours. As that year passed others had too, five to be precise. In between those years, in one of those months, on an odd day; when the rain was heavy he spotted Serena walking down the street; a pink umbrella in hand. White moon designs and rabbits danced around it. He smiled, knowing how much that umbrella fit her personality.

Lighting flashed and thunder roared not far behind it, on cue like she always did; she froze in fear. He chuckled remembering that she never liked thunder storms. He wanted to go across the street and maybe make fun of her for being scared of a little thunder and lighting, just like he used to. She would pout and make a comment; which would make him smile as he told her it would be alright, putting all jokes aside. She would smile back and then…and then nothing, Nothing! They weren't together anymore. He looked back across the street where she stood. It looked as if she was about to scream as lighting lit up the sky again, with the crash of thunder following. She didn't. He expected her to but she didn't. She just stood there for a second composed herself and keep moving on; and so did he. He didn't see her again until those five years had passed.

Five years later: Night

Serena's heels clicked to the floor as she stepped out her car. "Mina.." She said as she closed her car door, locking it. "Mina…Mina!" she exclaimed into her phone as she walked down the street. "I'm here! I'm just a block away, parking is hell here. Stop acting like I'm junior high Serena arriving late to something and take it easy. I'll be there in a sec." She hung up the phone as she headed down the street. Wearing a cute black mini dress, with red heels and a bag to match.

Finally reaching down the block, a big neon sign indicated the club her friends were going to meet her at. In the long line outside the club, Mina waved her hands in between people to get Serena's attention. Serena walked up to Mina and the rest of the girls. Mina raised the rope to help Serena duck under to get in line. People behind them fused and Mina turned around and said "She's with us!" Lying she said "She was already in line!" Mina turned back to the rest of the girls, which they had been ignoring her shenanigans since Serena had arrived. Jumping into the conversation that Amy, Lita and Raye had started with Serena. Mina said. "You are gonna love this place Sere!"

Serena rolled her eyes and said bluntly. "You just hope I meet a guy and get laid." Mina smiled innocently "That too!" She pushed Serena forward to move the line along, excited to get inside.

Four hours earlier

"No." Darien said to his cell phone. 'Come on man!' Andrew begged on the other side of the line. "I said no, Drew! Plus I'm busy." Darien said swerving through the hospital emergency room filled with patients and co-workers. 'Bull! And you know it! You're one of the lead doctors! If you were needed you wouldn't be on the phone with me.'

Darien sighed, Andrew had a point. He had been waiting for a patient for hours, today was a slow day, only his regulars, which the nurses had under control. 'It's only one night, Dar. You haven't gone out in forever! You need to get some fine ass!' Darien rolled his eyes as he instructed a few of the nurses. "I'm going to act like that wasn't corny. Mrs. Miyama, please get back into bed!" He said and pointed to the old women for one of the nurses to handle, by getting her back in bed and seeing to what ever she wanted.

'Fine, how do you want me to word it?' Andrew questioned 'You need to tap some ass? You need a booty call? You need to fuck someone?' Andrew said the last part with more emphasis. "GEEZ, ANDREW!" Darien said looking around the hospital. "I think the whole ward heard you! Fine! I'll be there! Just give me a couple of hours, for my shift to be over." Darien hung up the phone, quickly. Still nervous someone had heard Andrew's words. "He's freaking crazy." Darien sighed and shook his head.

Three hours later

Darien made it two hours later to a club where the sign blinded him in the face. The sign was totally unnecessary. The line was crazy long and he had no idea how he was going to find Andrew. He stuck his hand in his pocket to take out his phone and at that exact moment it rang, showing Andrew's name across the screen. He pressed answer.

"DUDE!" Andrew yelled on the other side of the phone. Darien pulled back the phone, feeling he might go deaf. "Dude, dude, dude!" Andrew keep saying over the phone. He needed to get to the point already. "Come to the front! Kurtis hooked us up! V.I.P. section! We can just walk right in!"

Darien looked to the front of the line by the doors and no doubt, Andrew was there flaring his arms for him to come up. "Come on, come on!" Andrew said through the phone and hung up. As he walked up to the front Darien thought for a second 'Kurtis? What is he doing here and why is he hooking us up with a V.I.P. area? He barely talks to Andrew.'

He shook his head catching up to Andrew and when he did Andrew threw his arm around Darien and said "and if you're thinking Kurtis doesn't talk to me, well he barely talks to anyone." Nodding in agreement Darien walked in with Andrew. When he got to the "V.I.P." section on the second floor. He was surrounded by Kurtis, Neil, Jad, Zoltan, and of course Andrew. He looked to Kurtis. "Kurt? What's going on?" Kurtis repressed the urge to bow down low to Darien in apology as he said. "I'm sorry your Majesty, Jad and Andrew ganged up on me and wouldn't take no for an answer. I know how you don't like these kinds of things but they insisted."

Darien sighed "It's alright and stop calling me that! I'm not prince of the Golden Kingdom anymore, I'm just Darien here! You've got to get used to that." Darien whispered the last part to Kurtis; about him calling him Majesty, so no one else could hear. Kurtis, Neil, Jad and Zoltan were the reincarnations of Kunzite, Nephrite, Jadeite, and Zoisite. Two years ago, they had come up to him so happy to see him calling him Endymion. When it happened it freaked him out, Darien had no idea who they were at first. It was hard to tell at first because they wore modern clothing and their hair was some what different. Except Jad's hair it was the same, maybe put into a more modern hairstyle but the same.

Apparently Kurtis, Neil, Jad and Zoltan had all lived human lives for a very long time with no memory of the far away past. Just the same way He, Serena, and the rest of the girls had forgotten. Based on what they told him about when they regained their memories and from what Darien knew, Darien came to one conclusion.

Around the time Sailor Moon defeated Sailor Galaxia. When they had finally returned home, Darien went to go check on his box in which he keep the stones of the Shiteno but they had crumbled, dust. It devastated Darien at the time but when they had appeared in front of him years later, it was obvious their entities had dispersed and found their reincarnated selves, giving them back their memories.

"End- I mean Darien! Want a drink!" Jad said excitedly. Yeah they still needed to work on calling him his earth name. They had stopped calling him Prince Endymion, now they just needed to stop calling him Endymion and Majesty. Darien thought it was that they just had a hard time wrapping there head around that he was now called Darien. They still had a hard time calling each other by there own earth names. Jad pushed the glass into Darien's hand. Jad still acted like a college kid even though they had all graduated and were holding highly professional jobs. Ever since Jad turned the legal age to drink he took advantage of it. It was like he found gold. Darien smiled "Sure, Jad."

Two hours had passed and every time Darien finished a glass, Jad would appear and stick another in his hand. Darien had just finished his forth glass, when Jad was right in front of him again. He was about to switch the glass out of Darien's hand, when Darien caught Jad's wrist. "Dude! Why do you keep giving me drinks?! Is something going on?"

Jad shook his head "Nah, man. I just want you to have some fun, loosen up a bit!" Darien looked around at all his friends. "What are you guys up to?" Kurtis looked in another direction to avoid eye contact. Kurtis could never lie to Darien being he used to be the leader of the Shiteno and his right hand man. Just from him looking away Darien knew something was up. If Darien pushed for the Shiteno to tell him, they surely would.

"We are not up to anything, Darien!" Andrew said taking the drink from Jad and handing it to Darien. "Now shut up and drink up." Andrew on the other hand, not so much. Darien rolled his eyes taking a swing of his new drink. "Whatever…"

Serena's phone chimed again; for the umpteenth time, indicating she got a new text message. She looked at her phone with Mina hovering over her.

Seiya: I'll be in town this week. Wanna meet?

"UH! Does that guy ever give up!" Mina said behind her. Shouting over the music. Serena looked at Mina. "Sure Mina you can look over my shoulder and read my personal texts!"

"Sorry, its just Seiya thinks you're at his beck and call! You had like one date with him three years ago!" Mina said "Just because he's a Pop star doesn't mean he can summon you."

"Mina, You know it was more than one date, he was my friend… and he almost became my boyfriend! Its more complicated than that." Serena said turning her phone's screen on to look at the text again.

"So your gonna reply to that?" Mina questioned. Serena sighed "I don't know…" Mina grabbed her phone and turned it off completely. Making the choice for Serena. "Come on girl, we are suppose to be here to have fun. Meet a cute guy… or two!" She said slyly. Mina pointed to the V.I.P. section. "And I see a few up there!"

Serena quirked an eyebrow "The V.I.P. section? Really, Mina. How are we getting in and don't you have a boyfriend?" Mina grabbed Serena and Amy's hand as the rest of the girls followed. "I see someone I know up there, it'll be easy to get in don't worry!"

Mina had really done it, Serena couldn't believe it. They were in the V.I.P. area. Serena walked to the railing to look down at the club where about a hundred maybe more people were on the dance floor. Serena smirked, she gave credit to Mina she was crafty. Serena had no idea what she said to the bouncer but it worked.

To Serena's right she heard laughing, it sounded like a bunch of guys. Then came Mina's voice. "Hey, baby." Mina sauntered over to Kurtis sitting on his lap. He whispered 'hey' as she kissed him. Serena turned and saw Mina do this. She looked at the group and saw Neil, Jad, Zoltan and Andrew. If they were all here that meant…

"Really Mina!?" Serena was furious. "UGH! Kurt did Mina put you up to this!" She looked at Darien who was now on his feet, staring right back at her. She hadn't seen him in years, the only reason she had meet the Shiteno was because Kurtis had found Mina and explained that he was Kunzite and who the rest were as well and in some sense they had 'come back to life' or 'regained their memories'.

It was a very romantic moment for Mina. Serena was happy for her but she had told them that Darien and her were broken up and to not get mixed into what happened before they came along. But of course that wouldn't stop Mina.

"I'm sorry, Princess." Kurtis said. Mina looked to him stroking his hair back. It was long but not as long as it used to be. It came up to his chin. As Mina stroked his hair back, his bangs fell back into his eyes. "You do not have to apologize, Kurt." She smiled sweetly at him.

Mina got up off of Kurtis and turned to Serena. "Serena look, I know you might be mad right now-"

"Mad?! Mina! Just mad!? Why would you do this!?" Serena looked to Mina and the rest of the girls. Amy was sitting with Zoltan, while Raye and Lita stood at a table with drinks in hand.

Mina balanced on the balls of her feet. "Serena, you two haven't seen each other in what five-"

"Six!" Both Serena and Darien said at the same time. "And it was about to be seven, until you did this Mina." Serena continued. "When I usually ask you to do something, you usually comply to it."

"And I have Serena! For almost seven years. Even if you two still can not talk about this, you don't think all of us being friends would cause you two to be in a situation like this! Where you bump into each other!? Its amazing you two haven't for so long!"

"Who says we haven't?" Darien said looking at Serena. She looked away. "What?" Mina questioned, looking to Darien. "Nothing…" Darien mumbled. "I have no idea what he's talking about." Serena said confused to his words.

"Since my friends dragged me here for the purpose of only this and got me drunk so I wouldn't get mad. Which I still very fucking am. I'll take my leave, while I can still put my feet one in front of the other." Darien turned to Serena "You can stay. Have fun."

Darien at his best made his way to the stairs to leave the V.I.P. area. They all watched him as he tripped trying to make the first step, walking down the rest for him was alright. He couldn't believe his friends did this to him. He couldn't believe any of them did this especially after how the girls had acted years ago. 'why now?' His friends knew he would have to wait for them so he could be driven home. He was to drunk to go anywhere. He had just lied to get out of there. He made his way to the bar and sat down. He took out his phone and sent a text to Zoltan, he was their designated driver of the night.

Darien: Tell me when you guys are leaving.

I'm at the bar.

His phone chimed instantly.

Zoltan: Alright, Sorry Endymion.

Darien sighed and waved for the bartender. Since he was already drunk, why not get even more wasted.

"You got him drunk?" Serena breathed out her eyebrows coming together. Jad giggled because he was as equally drunk. "Yep! Really, REEEEAAALLY drunk!" Jad was laughing hysterically now.

"Your such a pig, Jad!" Raye said. Jad got on all four's near Raye and started to oink. "I'm your pig, baby." Raye rolled her eyes, scrunching up her nose. "Uh! That floor is disgusting Jad, get up!" She looked away from him, trying to ignore his pig sounds. Jad had been pursuing Raye since they meet, but Raye wouldn't or more like pretended not to give him the time of day. She would say to the girls, she didn't need a man. She had no time for one.

Serena sighed looking at the group after they had watched Darien walk down the stairs. Zoltan and Amy sat close speaking quietly. While they talked Serena had sworn she had seen Zoltan look at his phone, text someone and put it back down but he did it so fast trying to get back to his conversation with Amy. Mina was all over Kurtis. Jad was shadowing Raye and she was yelling at him for it. While Neil and Lita just glanced at each other from opposite ends of the V.I.P. area. None of the boys seemed bothered about getting Darien drunk.

"Why would you do that to him? You know what happens to him! And how he gets later!" Serena said as she contemplated on what to do. She didn't want to stay here. she was mad at everyone. "How would you know? You haven't been with him for 'seven' years." Andrew said as he sat on the couch legs crossed a scotch in hand. "His tolerance for alcohol might of went up in that time. He can probably control it better."

Serena turned to Andrew, she squinted at him with fury; her hand wrapped around the strap of her purse that sat on her shoulder. "And has it!? Can he!?" Andrew shook his head. "Nope." He said in a relaxed tone. "You're unbelievable sometimes, Andy." Serena said.

"Look Sere, Kurtis and I, our relationship is moving in a direction in which we want you two to be apart of it, we don't want to end up arguing over which of the two of you to invite to anything! We just don't want to end up choosing between you two cause we love you both, don't make us. Fix your relationship with him, be friends." Mina pleaded "Or at least be able to tolerate each other in the same room."

Serena sighed nodding, making her way out of V.I.P.

Andrew looked around after Serena left. He turned to Kurtis who was talking to Mina as she sat on his lap. "Hey have you seen Jad and Raye?" Mina giggled and Kurtis only smirked putting his attention back to Mina.

"I think you've had enough." Serena said as she took the drink out of Darien's hand. He grabbed it back. "What makes you the decider of that?" He took another sip, looking away from her. Serena sighed. "Seriously Darien, you need to stop."

Darien looked to her. Eyes meeting he leaned in close to her. "Fine. Just let me finish this one." Their breathes intertwined for a seconded as he keep the close distance. She could smell the alcohol on his breath, she made a disgusted face pushing him back. "Hurry up."

He went back to his drink, gulping it down. He showed the empty glass to her. "See, finished." She put on a fake smile, clapping her hands. "Yaay, now get up and lets go. I'm taking you home." She pulled him by the arm slightly and he stumbled out of the bar stool. "Geez, Darien! You're drunk off your ass."

He didn't respond to her comment. He just looked her up and down and said "You look fucking hot in that dress." Serena ignored him. "Come on, lets go."

He stumbled some more but Serena managed to help him out of the club. "I'm assuming you came with your friends?" Darien shook his head. "Bus?" Darien nodded leaning on Serena. "Darien, I'm not King Kong and you are certainly not Ann Darrow."

Darien mumbled. "What?" Serena shifted Darien, he hung limp against her with one arm around her. She huffed trying to keep him up. "You… are…heavy! Try to stand some on your own! Don't let me do all the work of carrying you! We won't get really far."

He uttered some words she couldn't understand but she heard the word "Sorry." some where in there as he tried to stand on his feet but still leaned on her. They finally got to her car. "Darien put out your hand and open the door." It took him a bit but he did it. The door came open and Serena pushed him into the back seat of her car.

Getting into the drivers seat she sighed. "Same address?" He shifted in the back seat as he laid down trying to get comfortable. He was about to go to sleep. Serena reached back and put a hand on his leg shaking him. "Dar, Same address, you still live at the same address?"

Darien slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. "You haven't called me that in-"

"Six years" she sighed looking away. "I know, old habit." she said dismissing it. she looked back to him. "Same address?" Darien nodded "Same…"

They had finally reached the Azabu-Juban complex, half an hour later. Serena parked half way down the block away from the building. It took a bit to get Darien out of her car because he had fallen asleep half way through the drive. She tried pulling at his arms but only the front of his body got up a bit and then went back down, he wouldn't budge. "Darien, come on, help me a little."

She climbed into the cars back seat hovering over him. She took her hand and tapped at his face. "Darien…Darien." He moaned and unconsciously put his arm around her waist pulling her into him. She made an oomph sound as she made contact with his chest. "Dar, Let go." she said trying to push herself off him.

"You smell good, I miss the way you smell, being around it." He whispered, he opened his eyes to look at her. She looked back at him and said. "Let go." His arm went limp to his side. She lifted herself off his chest and got out the car. Darien slowly got up and followed tripping on his feet a bit, he held the door of the car to stand up straight.

He looked up at Serena and smiled. "Heh. Who knew walking could be so hard." She didn't laugh with him "Babies know." she said and put out her hand. "Your keys. Give'em." Darien began to laugh at her comment about babies and wouldn't stop. "Darien, key's" He stuck his hand in his pocket to reach for his keys, still laughing. Pulling them out they fell to the floor with a jingle.

Serena bent down and picked them up. "Can you walk the rest of the way by yourself?" Darien nodded pushing himself off the car door. He took two steps and fell to the ground. He started to laugh. "I-I guess not!" He hiccupped. "Geez, Darien." Serena said as she slammed her car door, making her way to him.

Minutes later you could hear the jingle of keys out side of Darien's apartment. The door pushed open and there Serena was with Darien half way slumped around her shoulder as she tried her best to hold him up. "Alright Darien, Move your feet. I can't drag you all by myself."

He lifted one foot and crossed it over his other moving along with Serena's help. He keep doing that till they got to the foot of his bed and she pushed him onto it. She took his feet and pulled off his shoes. Once they were gone from his feet he crawled to his pillow and buried his face into it. Serena walked up to the side of the bed pulling the blankets as best she could to cover him. She bent down beside him to see his face. "Are you going to be ok?" She asked. Darien turned his head looking at her. All he did was stare; it was like he was trying hard to study the features of her face. "I like it when you call me that…" He finally said.

"What?" she asked confused. "Before…" He paused. "When you called me, Dar. I liked it. I wish you hadn't stopped…call me that again…I like it."

"Darien…" she said weakly. "It wasn't that I stopped calling you it, it was more…" She watched him as he was slowly falling asleep. He probably wouldn't remember he said that. She sighed. "Yeah, I shouldn't leave you like this." She looked around the room. "Your T-shirts are still in this draw right?" An incoherent muffle came from the bed that sounded like mhm. She rummaged through the draw and pulled out a Tee, walking to the bed room door, before closing it, she said "Good night…Dar."
