Serena Thomas walked down the streets of Manhattan confidently, she was a top business president at her clothes industry called Celestial Crescents, it was the top of the line clothes for teens and adults and always carried the symbol of a crescent with a pink bunny head on all the tags. She walked into the large office building and said hello to the secretary and proceeded into the elevator, the elevator stopped on the 10th floor which was a floor of negotiation with other companies, a tall man about 6'1 or 6'2 entered the elevator wearing a black Versace suit and a midnight blue tie that matched his penetrating eyes. The man looked at the young woman, her shimmering silvery blond hair in a high ponytail, her curled ends brushing her black suit as well that clung to her every curve, her cerulean eyes looked him over a few times, his mind caught in thought. "Those eyes…. Look so familiar…." He snapped out of his thoughts and placed his hand out in front of her.

"I'm sorry… that was terribly rude of me to stare…May I ask what floor your headed to?" The blonde snapped out of her thoughts a smile appearing on her soft pink lips, as the elevator doors closed behind them. "I'm headed to the 87th floor, the top of the building, and you?" He smirked at her smile and couldn't help but scan over her sexy body once again. "As am I… may I ask if you know, do you know what the boss is like? I heard she could be a bitch…" Serena grinned inwardly. So he doesn't know who I am does he? This should be fun…" She nodded. "Yeah I know her personally, but she's not always like that… it's only when guys call her a bitch or make false accusations about her before meeting her." He smirked at her comment and leaned against the wall closing his eyes thinking about what it's going to be like meeting her. Serena looked at him, his smooth tan body and his chiseled face, his dark black hair and those familiar midnight blue eyes. "Could this be him?? No it can't be that easy to find him in a huge city like this… could it?"

She snapped out of her thoughts as the elevator stopped on the top floor and they both proceeded out. Serena said a hello to Molly Meyers her secretary and continued to her office, she pushed the door open and told the young man to sit at the smooth leather chair across the desk, he looked around somewhat confused wondering when he was going to meet the president of this building. Serena walked around the desk and sat down her seat silently her cerulean eyes looking back to the man. "So I believe we didn't exchange names… I'm Serena Thomas the president of Celestial Crescents." The man was shocked. "After what I said on the elevator she must want to castrate me…" He smirked to hide his embarrassment; he nodded silently, and set his briefcase next to him. "It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Thomas and let me revoke my comment that I made on the elevator, my name is Darien Shields, president of Romantic Roses Inc." Serena's heart stopped at his name, her heart began to pound rapidly a moment later as she looked at the gorgeous man in front of her. "Darien Shields?? This is his reincarnation form?? In my office?? Get a hold of yourself Serena he doesn't remember you… at least not yet. She smiled folding her hands on her desk trying to calm her shaking hands.

"Well Mr. Shields what may I ask are you here in my lovely office today?" He picked up his briefcase clicking it open and pulled out a manila folder and handed it to her. "I'd like for Romantic Roses and Celestial Crescents to become partners and become one complete business." She opened up the folder and looked over the documents, it did sound promising they were the top clothing designers in the united states as well as around the world, they had buildings in every country, she set down the folder and looked over to him. "And what do you get out of this Mr. Shields." He smiled devilishly. "I get the pleasure of seeing your beautiful face everyday." Serena tried to hide her blush some. "Same Darien… it's him for sure… I have to call the girls and tell them later." She raised a slender brow. "Mr. Shields I believe you are hitting on your partner are you not?" He leaned back in the chair, smiling. "Absolutely not, I am just complimenting you, plus I don't think my fiancée would appreciate me hitting on other women." Serena's heart dropped down to the floor. "Fi-Fiancee? No… that bitch is here…I know she is… I can sense her presence outside the building… that conniving slut will pay in due time.' Serena's once jubilant appearance was now a frosty demeanor. She folded her arms across her chest. "Alright Mr. Shields I will get back to you tomorrow morning about your proposal, how about here at 9am?" Darien stood up taken aback by how quickly her attitude had changed; he nodded and said his goodbyes before walking out of her office and closing the door behind him. Serena growled in anger and used her telekinesis to fly a heavy paperweight across the room and shatter against a wall, she took deep breaths trying to control her anger, her mind automatically ready to go kill a familiar red headed bitch who had killed her centuries before. She sat back down massaging her temples' knowing today was going to be a long day.

Darien slid into the seat of his limo and was greeted by someone sitting his lap and lips against his. He returned the kiss deeply before breaking it looking into deep emerald eyes, he ran his hands through her long straight red hair, she smiled looking into his eyes, her voice low and sensual. "How was the meeting Darien?" He looked to his fiancée Beryl Poole, they had been engaged for about a year and a half now but he had never had the urge to marry her just yet, he admitted he did like and lust for her, but he wasn't sure if he loved her just yet. He smiled nodding. "It went fine… what did you do while I was gone?" She smiled toying with his tie. "I went shopping… I got a present for you…" He looked to her raising a brow. "Really? What did you buy?" She grinned and kissed him. "You'll see later on tonight…" She got off of his lap and sat back down. "I have to go see daddy today… we're having a family dinner tonight." He nodded, her father was one of the main judges in the Supreme Court, and he rested his head on the cushions of the limo and closed his eyes his mind drifting back to the change in the blonde he had just met that seemed so familiar to him. Beryl looked at him raising a slender a brow before her eyes narrowed as she felt incredible power close by, she smelled the air and smelled a specific scent, she growled. "Serena… well it looks like the witch is back… I look forward to seeing her soon…" She sat back grinning folding her arms across her chest and looked out the window of the city her mind drifting to plans that she had for a very familiar blonde witch.

The girls entered Serena's apartment later that night, they all lived in the building in their own penthouses but this meeting was different. Serena closed the door and cast a spell to make the room sound proof from anyone spying. The girls sat down amongst the couches in Serena's living room, she sat down in her favorite chair, which was a leather recliner, she sat Indian style and looked at the girls before taking a deep breath and began. "I saw Darien today… he's our new partner at Celestial Crescents, Romantic Roses will be joining and we will become a larger empire…it's the Darien from the past I know it is… but Beryl is here as well…" The girls looked to each other, anger and hate filled their eyes, and they wanted vengeance for what had happened all those years ago, Amy was the first to speak. "So what do we plan on doing about her now? I mean I know she remembers us but Darien has not had his memories returned so what are we supposed to do?" Lita punched her palm over and over again trying to control her anger. "I say we skin her alive, make leeches suck on her skin, and throw acid on her, then we banish her to Hades and let Hecate do what she wishes with her, who knows maybe she let Cerberus eat her, or maybe use her as a good dog toy." The girls couldn't all help but laugh at that, they had been around a long time and had visited other dimensions, the gods and goddesses were kind if you respected them, but cross them and there would be harsh consequences. Mina sighed running a hand through her golden blonde hair, her light blue eyes looking to all of them.

"How long do you think it will take before Darien realizes she's missing? We have to wait till his memories return before we do anything rash." Raye nodded. "As much as I agree with Lita, we can't do anything as of yet, we should call Luna and Artemis and see what they think we should do as of now, after all they did raise us to be the strong witches we are." Serena nodded and pulled out her cell phone, before she could dial a number, the large windows exploded in the living room, the girls jumped to the floor, glass pieces stabbing and slicing them they yelled out in pain, Raye created a barrier to stop the rest of the glass hurting them. As they stood up they looked around at all the shattered glass and objects in the room, Amy sighed and began tending to the girls wounds and healing them as well as herself. Serena snapped her fingers and everything fixed itself and went back to normal, they heard a cackle and looked over to an antique mirror hanging on the wall and saw Beryl's face, she grinned her voice sounding far away as she looked at the girls. "That was just a hello… don't worry Serena… this isn't over… I'll killed you just like I did all those years before…" Lita growled and ran over to the mirror but before she could do anything the image disappeared and the mirror returned to normal, she turned to the girls who all looked each other. "So now what?" Serena dialed a number and set it to her ear listening to the ringing. "We call in some friends…"
