Chapter 3: Meeting at Cherry Hill Temple

Everyone including Darien was sitting in one of the rooms in the Cherry Hill Temple. Wufei had silently left the group for a minute but had returned immediately.

Darien looked at the guys before him. He knew Serena remembered her past just as he remembered his but as he looked at the G-boys faces he realized he had never met them. He was just as confused as the others. He glanced over at Serena taking in her happy and calm demeanor. This must have been what she referred to in the park that day he suddenly realized.

Rei cleared her throat trying to indicate that they start the meeting. Everyone looked expectantly at Serena.

"First of all I want to properly introduce everyone" stated Serena. Looking at the G-boys she began the introductions.

"These are my brothers not by blood but I guess in spirit. This is Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Winner, Wufei Chang, and Heero Yuy" gesturing to each person.

"Guys these are the scouts I told you about. This is Rei- Sailor Mars, Ami- Sailor Mercury, Lita- Sailor Jupiter, and Mina- Sailor Venus"

"And this," Serena said as she walked over to Darien and held his hand "is Darien- Prince Endymion".

The G-boys all looked at Darien inspecting him and trying to see if he even slightly deserved their little sister. Heero, Trowa, and Wufei glared at him. Their little sister loved him, but was he good enough for her?

"Don't start that! I see what you guys are doing. Leave him alone."

Serena glared but they wouldn't back down, except for Quatre who with a gentle heart was a bit more accepting.

"I'm setting rules for you guys right now. You don't wanna follow them, then punishment will be to spar with me!" she said as she glared at them.

The girls looked on confused. "Maybe they should fight me or Rei?" asked Lita thinking that she would be better suited to take them down.

"No, believe me they'll be sorry to cross me" Serena stated.

She looked at the guys, "No challenging him, fighting him, killing him, castrating him, or anything that may cause him immense pain got it!"

They looked sullenly as they agreed although it seemed they might have other plans. Darien looked worried wondering what they would have done had Serena not stepped in.

She sat down next to Darien and began her story

"After we defeated Beryl my memories of Princess Serenity, of the Silver Millennium returned. At first it was all jumbled up and I couldn't think straight for days, but as I shifted through the memories I was able to realize what was part of my present life and what was part of my past. I saw you all at school and I recognized you and remembered everything but you didn't appear to remember being scouts or the princess at all. Queen Serenity appeared to me a couple of nights soon after that. I was in my room staring at the full moon when I was compelled to go outside. I climbed onto the roof and began to pray and beg to the goddess of the moon Selene to bring your memories back or at least the ones of our friendship." Serena sighed and stopped looking at the girls' faces.

"Queen Serenity appeared to me as I begged Selene. She told me that I shouldn't awaken your memories, that events needed to be played out and that I should act as I did before everything happened. She said that if I wanted to continue to do certain things and excel then it must be done in private without your knowledge. My academics, combat skills, and other aspects of my life had improved. Apparently I always had the potential but wasn't necessarily motivated enough. I began taking college courses at Tokyo University through their internet program, only going to the school when midterms and finals rolled around." Serena looked at Darien and said "I'll be able to graduate either the same semester as you are or the following depending how things occur from here on out"

Darien looked surprised but quickly smiled happy that Serena was applying herself and had achieved so much. He always knew she had the potential and was happy to see her accomplishments.

The scouts stared at Serena, stunned that she had been able to do all these things without their knowledge. Rei was the first to react.

"Are you sure you're alright Meatball head? You always fall asleep in class and when I was at the library with you the other day you barely knew how to access the internet library catalogue" said Rei, slightly doubtful of Serena's story.

Serena glared a bit at Rei and also didn't miss the looks the GBoys were sending her. Did they really think I was that stupid? thought Serena.

"Yes, Rei. And I am completely serious. You can ask Luna and I'll even show you my transcripts, although I shouldn't have to prove anything to you" stated Serena, slightly affronted that Rei didn't believe her.

The GBoys stared at Serena. "Why are you even in school? Didn't we go through all that already?" Duo stated. "Yeah. With the type of work and equipment we deal with, we should be pretty much set. It's almost like having a PHD. None of us went back, not even me" stated Quatre. After all the technology that they used daily with the gundams, during the war, and elsewhere, their knowledge was more expansive that even a professional's.

"I know but I need a diploma from here and I thought I'd give the whole college thing a try" said Serena

"Why didn't you just make a fake? It would be so easy and then you'd be all set" stated Duo with a slight grin.

"Look I just decided I wanted to now give it a rest" Serena stated slightly exasperated with the situation.

"We're kind of lost here. What are gundams? And you've already finished school?" asked a confused Mina looking expectantly at Serena and the gundam pilots.

That's the end of this chapter. Sry for cutting it off so suddenly but I'm tired so that's it. I just wanted to update. Please Keep REVIEWING, it really helps!
