AN: 100+ reviews!! Thanks to all my readers and reviewers!! I know its a short chappie, but I was bored and decided to write, and figured a short update is better than no update. I'll try and post again in a few days. Hopefully more will be come clear in this chappie. Please review and tell me what you think.

Previously…

" Why I'm I here again? Why did you leave me the first time? Where is Darien? I fainted didn't I? That's what brought me here? Is that why I've been fainting so much lately? Answer me!" Serena said frantically.

" My, my… so many questions," the man said smiling down at her. " We must hurry again. This place is no longer safe. All your questions will be answered in time, Princess."

" But I'm not your princess, well I am, but I'm not supposed to be living here, not for awhile anyways."

" While living here, Miss. Serenity, you will remain Princess. But as soon as you wake again, you will once again become a mere teenager."

" Mere? I am Sailor Moon after all," she argued with the man as he carried her off into the distance.

The man stopped walking when they reached a small stream. He looked down at her, not moving. Serena looked up at him and gave him a questioning look, wondering why he wasn't letting go of her.

" Umm… if we are safe here, can I get put down?"

The man gave her a smile, his grip tightening around her. He started walking again, stopping inches away from the river. He bent down, crouching down on his knees and held her body out over the water. Serena, who had started tossing frantically trying to wriggle out of his grasp, stopped suddenly as he put her over the water.

" What the heck do you think you're doing!" she screamed at him. " Lower me this instant!" Her eyes becoming big blue blobs of tears.

The man smiled and quickly lowered himself unto the ground, pulling her into his arms once again. As she glared at him, trying to calm down, he wiped away her tears. Stroking her hair, he held her close, as he began to laugh.

" What is so funny?" Serena growled at him.

" You really thought I was going to dump you into the water. I would never hurt you, Princess. My loyalties are to you one hundred percent. I would never let anything happen to you."

Serena sighed and looked over at him, into his blue eyes. She searched them, to see if they held any traces of deceit, but found none. She looked over at the water and then back at him. She started laughing as well. She didn't know why, but his laughing was contagious. She elbowed him in the chest as she crawled unto the ground beside him.

" So…are you finally going to tell me your name?" Serena asked after they'd stopped laughing.

The man looked over at her and then looked at the distant sea. " I don't see why it's of relevance. I'm only in your dreams."

Serena placed her hand on his, and he turned suddenly around. His eyes moved from her hand to her eyes. She sighed softly and then placed her head on his shoulder, this very much surprising the two of them.

" Still… I want to be able to call for you when I come back here, if I'm ever in trouble. I don't want to be alone."

The man smiled down at her and once again brought her into his arms. " Don't worry, I'll always protect you, and here, you'll never be alone."

Serena jerked as her eyes popped open. She was lying on the grass. She slowly sat up only to find Darien staring at her intensely. Looking around, she realized that she was back to where she'd been before she'd fainted. She'd been watching the girls fight the monsters and then she'd felt dizzy and fainted. She looked at Darien, who lowered himself to the ground, quickly by her side. He looked so worried. She instantly looked away.

She'd just been with another man. She'd just cuddled up to someone other than Darien. She'd let herself be lured into a sense of bliss with someone she barely knew. She felt sick to her stomach. It was like she had cheated on him, even though it was just a dream. She couldn't look at him, without feeling so completely guilty over something she couldn't control. She didn't want to faint all these times and she certainly didn't want to be living in some other world with another guy, right? She loved Darien. They were destined to be wed, they were soul mates.

Taking her eyes off Darien, she realized that the girls had killed the monsters and now were all crowded around her. Each looking at her with concerned looks on their faces. Serena stood up, leaving Darien on the ground. She quickly pushed her way through the crowd of girls and started to walk away, not turning back to face any of them.

Darien stared at Serena's back as she walked slowly away, completely shocked. What was wrong with her that she didn't even bother to give him a comforting acknowledgment to her health? She had just fainted after all. He looked up at the girls and gave them a confused look. Mina was the first one to speak up.

" Don't worry, Darien. I'll go after her and see what's up," she said as she hurried after Serena, leaving the rest of the group behind her. The rest watched her catch up to Serena and then they sighed, going their separate ways. Darien got up and was torn between going after Serena and Mina, and leaving the two best friends to talk and going home to wait for her. Finally deciding on the second choice, he began to walk in the opposite direction.
