A/N well since no one responded to my request! I have decided to marry them after the Ice Age. It seems only natural!

Disclaimer: I own nothing and love the song mentioned above…

P.S. SORRY it took so long to update...been super busy...so here she is! 3,000 words and all

The girl's were ecstatic as they danced around the room with Serena. She had never been so happy in her life…she thought back to all of her and Darien's moments together…and she mentally decided that this was going to go into the number 1 slot. Closely followed by their first kiss.

She blushed thoroughly as she thought about it and sighed.

With her sudden change in spirit, the girls looked at her in concern.

"What's wrong Sere? YOU'RE ENGAGED! You need to be HAPPY!!!" Rei all but screamed at her. Serena turned abruptly and stared at the girls, trying to force a smile to her face.

"Well, if you think about it…I…we…aren't going to be able to get married for at least a few hundred years Rei…so when I get gloomy, its because I have to think about everything that could go wrong, all that would be taken away from me. We only have a few weeks before the Ice Age is upon us and I have to worry about everything! So please excuse me for being worried." She stared at her friends with tears in her eyes and then placed a shaky smile on her face. "Plus I have to worry what my dad will think about all of this… I might have no fiancée after he is through with him." She laughed and watched as Darien tensed up after hearing this. She plastered a big stupid grin on her face. She had said fiancée, and it was real, no waking up…just real!

Her mood lightened and she placed a hand on Darien's shoulder. "Well honey, I guess we might as well face the music…together." Serena took his hand in hers and waved at the girls.

"Wish us luck! We will need it." She smiled at her friends and began the walk home.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Slowly her childhood home came into view, and she all but ran to the front door, dragging Darien behind her. "Do we really have to do this know! Kenji is going to murder me, you know that right." He looked at Serena and he could tell that she did not hear one word he said, she is on cloud nine. With a sigh he watched as she opened the door to her home, he gulped a clean gust of air and took a step inside.

Kenji froze and glared at Darien. This boy was stealing his little girl away from him! She was on 17 and barely that. How old was he…20!!!

Darien watched as Kenji squirmed with anger and tightened his grip on Serena's hand. Luckily Ikuko took the news a lot better than Serena's father, he had even gotten a hug.

"Calm down daddy, GEESH, its not like we are getting married right away! There is plenty of time for you to get used to the idea." Serena smiled up at her dad and he relaxed…slightly.

His eyes were still fixed with a death glare, directed at Darien. "And stop looking at him like that, he didn't do anything wrong, we have been together for 3 years and we are in love. So please accept this for what it is!" She pleaded with her famous puppy dog eyes.

Kenji sighed and shook his head; he knew he couldn't stop her. She is as stubborn as ever and in love. " Ok…well I guess you have my blessi…." he was cut off by Serena tackling him with an enthusiastic hug.

"Thank you dad! I knew you would understand. Darien was afraid we would have a homicide case on our hands when we told you!" She laughed and came and sat back down by Darien, little did she know, his fatherly instincts were planning just that. He shook the thought out of his mind and harrumphed.

Serena and Darien walked out of the house exuberant with victory. Gazing in each other's eyes, they knew that everything would be overwhelmingly all right…eventually…

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Over the next two months the Senshi and their princess were fighting mercilessly against the overflow of youma flooding the city. From one night to the next, they pushed and stretched themselves to their breaking point.

Finally a lull seemed to develop among the dark city. Unknown to them…this is the calm before the storm…and a truly evil entity has worked its way into their solar system again. This one person can make or break their future. Time is ticking…and the alarm is about to go off…

~3~

'BRIIING BRIIING' the alarm in Serena's bedroom went off and she nearly slammed the thing against the wall. "Stupid thing…" she got off of her bed and stretched her lengthening body. It truly was amazing that she could grow this fast over the past two months. She went from 5'4" to almost 5'10". It was ridiculous…not only because her body ached at almost a constant rate, but also because none of her clothes fit.

She stared at her closet and sighed…nothing she owned would look good on her….its either too short…or hookerish.

Luckily today was graduation day…she smilled at the cape and gown hanging by the door. She pulled out a white dress and laid it gently on her bed.

Quickly undressing, she slid the fabric on her body and accompanied it with a pair of white heels. She pranced across her room and looked in her mirror. She gave an approving nod and grabbed the gown and cap.

Walking out of her bedroom with excitement in tow, she hummed lightly and stepped into the kitchen. "Hey momm…" Serena froze, it was too quiet…her mom wasn't here and neither was her dad..or sammy. She quickly took a summary of the room and sighed.

Maybe she was just over reacting…that had to be it. She shrugged and walked out of her home. 'They must be there saving seats or something…I know they were excited…they didn't think I would graduate…HA I showed them' she thought to herself as she walked her normal route to school.

~3~

As she was walking she noticed that someone was following her….

"Hey honey….where do you think your going…come let papa give you a ride"

Serena stopped in her tracks and rage raced through her body…she turned around…eyes shut tight and let the man have it, "Who the hell do you think you are…I wouldn't ride with you if you were the last man on earth jerkface…go ride yourself!" She turned back around and stomped off.

She noticed that the car was still following her…she turned around again and this time noticed who was driving.

Her face flushed with embarrassment when she saw it was Darien. She glared at him as his face twisted into his heart melting grin.

"What the hell Darien…I was about to go all Sailor Moon on you!" She snapped as she hopped in the car, not minding the break from her heels.

"Well for one…I thought you would have recognized my voice…and two.." he cut himself off by kissing Serena passionately.. "and two…I had to show my appreciation for you pretty lady." He smiled and ducked as her hand came flying at him.

"Fine…just drive…geesh..jerk" She shook her head and smiled as they zoomed off to her high school.

~3~

"SERENA TSUKINO" her name was screamed as she walked across the stage to receive her diploma. She looked at Darien and watched as he fake swooned with surprise as her hands wrapped around the diploma. 'he would pay for that later' she promised herself. Once the class of 2008 (A/N REPRESENT holler lol) had received their diplomas, the entire gymnasium erupted into screams and flying caps. As the graduation march played over the loud speakers…the entire class ran/ fast walked out of there and into the waiting reception.

"WE DID IT" screamed Serena as she pounced on top of Mina.

"I know Sere! I am so happy and relieved!!!" Mina swung around her best friend and laughed hysterically as they both nearly plopped on the floor.

The rest of their friends joined the two girls. Each one exchanging hugs and squeals while Raye congratulated them.

"Hey guys have you seen my parents and Sammy…" She looked around as their friends shook their heads. Slowly panic started to reach for her as she slowly realized that they weren't at the house either.

Before everyone knew it…Serena took off out of the building…she ran as fast as her heels would let her…

~3~

When she finally reached the house…her feet were bloody and the house dark. She swallowed and grasped her broach tightly. She opened the door to her house and let the door swing in. The darkness was overwhelming….

"Really Serenity dear…do you think I would give you up that easily…" Serena let out a small whimper as the figure of Prince Diamond turned around the corner. "Well my love..you certainly have grown…and you look even prettier than before…" he smiled and took one step closer..

"Where is my family" she glared at him…watching every move he made.

"Well…I decided to take out some collateral this time..since you are so eager to leave my side." He took another step forward and reached his hand towards her. She jerked back falling in the process, as she looked up all she could see was his face laughing at her. "I see you are having issues adjusting to your new legs...don't worry princess you will be graceful as ever soon enough," he leans down towards her and touches her legs.

Serena sat there physically frozen…I thought I sent him away...Darien help me, Diamond is back! She thought to herself, everything seemed to slow down as she was being sucked back into this crap. She took one last effort, she closed her eyes and drew upon her strengthening powers…

She was assaulted with a blast of pressure and her hair full of grass. She got up and looked around…

Her eyes got wide as she realized she had teleported herself to the park. "Damn" she said quietly. As she stood there she slowly came back to reality.

"Moon Eternal Make-up!" and with a blast of light she was Eternal Sailor Moon. She took one last look behind her and then ran back to her house…she had to get her family back. As she ran she paged her inner and outer Senshi for their help.

Once she reached her house…she realized that none of her friends or even Darien had responded to her transformation or emergency call. Slowly she opened her front door and she was welcomed with quiet silence. No Diamond, no family, no anything…slowly she realized that he had meant much more by 'collateral' he didn't just take her family, but her entire circle of loved ones. She was instantly enraged.

As she stormed the house, her defenses were slowly becoming more and more occupied. Finally she stepped into her room and scooped up the picture of her friends, Darien, and her family.

Before she realized what had happened she teleported herself again…but this time it was to somewhere different.

When she opened her eyes a second time she was being assaulted by cold and ice.

All she remembered was thinking about her friends…and how much she wanted everyone back.

Then it dawned on her…they were here somewhere. She closed her eyes and she could feel their dull heartbeats, every single one of them.

She tried to teleport again, but her energy was too exhausted to support so much power, at least right now.

Serena sighed and stood up, bracing herself against the cold winds.

As she glanced around she felt a sudden rush of memory overtake her. Her eyes filled with tears when her friends' faces crossed her mind…and like right now they were in such a dangerous situation because of her.

She looked down at her brooch and sighed, this was the place that they truly became a team, they defeated Queen Beryl and became a family. This was when her heart truly belonged to Darien.

"This is where it begun, our great journey, and this is where it ends…I am not going to put my friends in danger anymore!" Her eyes glowed as her power rippled off of her in a soft pink light. With a light sigh she closed her eyes and fought for the words she was searching for, with a sudden rush of memory she cried "Imperial Moon Make Up" and stepped forward in her ultimate form, Sailor Cosmos.

Her demeanor was graceful and peaceful, but her face was pure rage.

She felt a rush of energy and grasped it. She vanished with a blink of an eye and immerged in a dark cave. She glanced around and grabbed her scepter tightly. 'This would be the beginning of there life…she knew it…hold on Mama, Papa, Sammy, Girls….., Darien…. Wait for me.' She spoke to herself quietly, feeling the evil radiate throughout the small opening.

She stepped into the darkness and broke into a run.

She was desperate to see them okay...they NEEDED to be okay.

She shook her head and took a sharp right, following the heartbeats that she felt inside her own.

After several hours of running she finally saw a small light at the end of a particular tunnel and decided that that was her destination.

As she entered the enveloping light she went hot with rage as she saw every single person she loved dangling before her. She took a step forward and stopped; she looked around cautiously and saw what her instincts had felt.

Prince Diamond walked out of the darkness smiling his 'winning' smile.

As he came closer Serena noticed his smile falter when he saw Sailor Cosmos…not his Sailor Moon.

"Your majesty…I do not wish to speak to you… I want your past counterpart…please give me Serena." He spoke calmly inching closer to her tall and graceful body.

Serena…or Serenity as of now…looked at him curiously and placed her hands on her hips. "You are talking to Serena you jerk…I am standing right here." She huffed as her annoyance and raged continued to peak. She noticed something change after she spoke…more hurt than fear.

"What do you mean you are Serena? You are not supposed to be this powerful until you have accepted your destiny as queen of crystal Tokyo! You are not QUEEN!" He screamed and ran at the blonde.

Serena merely put her hand up and he stopped, frozen in space.

"I told you let us be Diamond…why can you not listen to me. You are just creating more hurt for yourself. Please just let my friends go…I know you are not this mean...please, for me, let them go" She begged as he stared at her and he sighed.

"I would do anything for you," he whispered and waved his hand and her friends fell to the floor.

Serena rushed to her friends' sides and hugged Darien tightly.

Upon seeing this Diamond was overcome with grief.

"What am I supposed to get in return for my kind gesture of releasing your friends?" He smirked knowing what he really wanted from this angel.

She smiled innocently and spoke softly, "You get my undying gratitude and friendship."

Diamond cracked, he stormed over to her and grabbed her wrist and jerked her away. "If I can't have you no one can!" (A/N I know very cliché). He wrapped her in his arms and crashed his lips onto hers trying to force the feelings into her body. With a sudden jolt Serena felt the dark energy burn her insides and she felt her heart being torn into shreds.

With very little effort left…she focused her energy on the Silver Imperium Crystal on her breast.

With a bright shine of light Diamond was pushed away and Serena's scout uniform was shredded into white ribbons (A/N you know how her sailor uniform does with the pink ribbons). One moment there stood a near death Serena with her body covered in strand of fabric and with a nod of her head she was transformed in her future, now present, self.

The scouts immerged from their sleep in perfect timing to watch, as Serena became their queen.

Darien let out a soft sigh and got to his feet, "O, Serenity…" He walked towards her and stood beside her.

She felt her Endymion rise beside her and she was instantly filled with even more power as their bond intensified immediately. She turned her deep blue eyes to Diamond for what she hoped would be the last time, "Now Diamond..I have given you plenty of chances to escape and forget about me, take this last chance as my peace offering between our two worlds. Let us be."

"I will never let you be Serenity, I love you..I will always find you. And as for your planet…it seems I will have to destroy it in order to obtain you…and so it must be." With that the energy in the room seemed to be quickly absorbed as Diamond prepared himself.

Serenity stared at Endymion and he nodded. She knew this was it.

Almost like she subconsciously called them, her Senshi were by her side immediately.

"I am sorry Diamond, but I cannot let that happen. This is my home…and my world now…and I refuse to yield." She lifted the Crystal and felt the power of all her loved ones flow through her…and into the crystal. With a pain that was almost unbearable she sealed the world in its icy shell, forcing Diamond back into the solar system to wait.

~3~

Over the next 9 centuries…….the world laid in ice…protecting itself from its fervent attacker…

…Eventually Diamond got tired of the failed attempts of attacking the surprisingly thick ice that the future queen had created.

He knew beneath it laid his love in a deep sleep…waiting for her was going to be quiet painful he thought to himself.

He tried once more to enter the deep ice tomb but was shocked away with the white light of the Silver Crystal. "One day my dear….one day you will be mine!" And with that Diamond disappeared…but never too far away…he wanted to make sure she was comfortable and vulnerable before he attacked again. Then and only then would she be made his queen.

As the ninth century came to a close and the sun rose on the 30th century, the bright morning was greeted with bright deep blue eyes blinking away the tears of the painful memories her past had encountered. She placed her hands around herself and sighed.

"It will all be okay my love, things will work out for the better." Endymion comforted and wrapped his arms around his soon to be wife's tiny waist.

"I know, but its gonna be hard…like the hardest thing I have ever done…luckily I have all of you here." She smiled at all of her Senshi…and gazed at her still slumbering parents and sighed. "Lets go home" She squealed and within the blink of an eye the family, parents and all, were back in Tokyo.

Here is this chapter...I know alot of stuff happened really fast...but i didn't know any other way to do it.....I hope you enjoy!
