Authors Note: Wow it's been a while ...I noticed this story in my archives and I remembered how much I was enjoying it...For those of you who have read it and reviewed thank you so much... I have decided to pick it up where I left off... I've been so busy since I last posted but I don't want to give up on this story. So here it goes Serena's Stand...

Disclaimer: Once again I own any of these characters just a fan who loves the Sailor Moon Universe.

Serena P.O.V.

I can't believe it Darien and Alan were both there claiming to be my secret admirers. I haven't seen Alan in years I figured he and Ann had settled down somewhere with the tree. It was nice seeing him and how healthy he looked. Darien didn't look quite as good as he used to. I thought people gained weight in college not lose it. Oh well I have no idea what is going on. I guess he figured he could come traipsing back and be romantic and I'd fall back into his arms. No more. I am not just some little girl with stars in her eyes anymore. I can't afford to be that person anymore.

Mina and Lita are fawning a little over the double secret admirer thing. Amy is frowning and typing into her tablet. Rae is standing by myside hands on her hips frowning.

Rae said what was exactly on my thoughts, "What does Darien think he can just walk in and Serene will fall over herself going after him please as if."

I smiled thinly and said, "I think the night is officially ruined especially with those two being arrested at this point I just want to go home."

The girls all nodded their heads in agreement Amy was looking at her tablet still but closed it down and said, "Yes it's best to get out of here before we get in trouble for this."

We headed back towards my house it was going to be a regular sleep over pizza and everything. We made it back to my place no problem and I saw Alan standing there with a smile on his face.

"Hey there Serena," Alan said with a smile.

"Hey Alan, why didn't you let me know it was you?" I asked him with a smile on my face the girls hung back listening intently.

"Well after I left with Ann and all I figured you probably wouldn't want to see me anytime soon," Alan said with a shrug and a grin.

"Look Alan it's great to see you but the break up with Darien is still so fresh if you want to be friends then I have no problem unless Ann does. "

A look came over his face and he said, "Ann does not control me at all I could care less about her. She hasn't really changed at all we broke it off mutually."

"Well just the same if you want to be friend's I'm fine with that, "I repeated myself.

Alan smiled and said, "of course Serena," and with that he walked off.

The girls and I went back into the house after that and started our own little party. Personally, I just want to forget tonight and Darien.

Darien P.O.V.

I came around the corner of Serena's block and saw Alan at her door.

Drew was by myside and said, "Dude looks like he isn't going back to Ann. Guess you got a fight on your hands."

"I thought I was going to have one when you told me that you had been sending Serena those secret admirer notes, "I said with a side eyed look at him.

"Bro don't worry I'm not after Serena she is like a little sis to me. I mean originally, I might have thought about it, but I wouldn't have done anything really while she was still hurting over you. I just wanted to see the light back on in her eyes. Darien, you hurt her something fierce, and if you think I'm going to let you hurt her again then you better be prepared to be hurt worse than just a punch. you understand me?" Drew asked.

"I'm not going to hurt her Drew I promise at this point if she and I only remain friends for the rest of our lives I'd feel lucky. I didn't realize how much I was going to miss her till I was in Boston and at Harvard. She brought a light to my life that I never thought I would ever receive. You know I'm an orphan I don't really know what love is. I don't even remember what it was like to have real parents. I just want to have Serena not hate me," I said.

We noticed Alan walking our way and he smirked and said, "All is fair and Love and War Shields'. All Ann talked about was you wanting me to change my appearance to look like you. You stole her from me. Now I'm going to steal Serena from you. Which you have already lost her I just have to win that over to me and you Shields' you fool will have nobody, "he smirked as he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Drew and I both shared a quick look at each other and we continued walking to Serena's house.

"Bro I think you need to leave her alone for tonight she works at the café tomorrow just come in there and let her have tonight. She's had two people come back into her life she never thought she would see again. I promise I won't play keep away, "Drew Said.

"I just have to look see her Drew. I need to make sure she's alright, "I answered.

We continued walking down the street and I looked in the window as we walked by her house. She was looking out the window, and I could tell she was distracted. She had a frown on her delicate features. Something I never thought I would see. Serena has always been so happy and vibrant, but I could tell everything has been putting a weight on her shoulders. I and only I was to blame for getting so self-centered and self-assured on the future and on the past that I didn't pay attention to the here and now. I didn't pay attention to Serena and who she is now.

She has always been my princess and the future queen and mother of our child, but I realize that I hadn't gotten to know the woman who she is. I just figured she was an annoying cry baby who would follow me everywhere and that she would become the queen and I guess magically become the mother of our child. Nothing more. But she's smart and kind, generous, sweet, and has always put others before herself. I want to get to know Serena herself.

Drew and I kept walking on and when we got to his apartment he said, "you got a place to stay Darien?"

"No, my apartment got rented out for the semester you mind if I stay with you?" I asked him.

"Not at all bro. You can stay with me however long it takes. I have a futon that has your name on it from our late-night study sessions back in high school," He said with a laugh.

I smiled back at Drew, but my mind was on Serena. As we walked up to his apartment we noticed the door was partially opened. I put my hand up to my lips and peeked carefully around the door as Drew stood behind me. I crept in carefully and peeked around the corner of the hall and I saw Elizabeth standing there looking out of it.

"Elizabeth are you ok?" Drew asked as he saw her too.

Elizabeth stood still then came at us with long black claws extending out from her fingers dripping poison down to the ground.

I dived to the side and yelled out at Drew to get out of the way, and to call the girls.

I knew I needed to keep Elizabeth from hurting herself until Serena and the others could get down here and help heal her. I just had to hope that they would make it in time.
