Chapter 13- Destiny and the Now

Serena stirred as she slowly opened her eyes. She sat up and examined her surroundings remembering where she was. Seeing Darien fallen on the floor next to her Serena gasped.
"Darien? Darien, wake up. Darien you did it. You saved everyone! Darien? Darien? Please wake up!" She pleaded as she started to cry. She lifted Darien's torso off the ground, holding him in her arms as she continued to cry.

Suddenly a black long-haired girl appeared on the opposite side of Darien. She put a hand on Serena's shoulder. "You must be Serena. I've heard so much about you. My name's Xena." She smiled; tilted her head to the side. Serena looked up from her tears at the smiling girl. The girl placed a hand on Darien's wrist checking his pulse. "He's going to be okay!" She smiled overwhelmed with joy. Serena smiled at Xena.

"He loves you." Serena smiled looking down at her prince. "Will you promise to continue keeping him company while he's at school?" She asked looking up at Xena who smiled and nodded in agreement.

"He loves you, you know." Xena said simply.

"I know," Serena replied. "And he loves you. I know how he feels. I had a love like yours once." She smiled thinking of Seiya. "When you guys are done with school you should come live with us. You can live amongst all of the sailor scouts like you should've long ago. I am sorry Xena." Serena said with sorrow.

"It's not your fault. Cheer up. Everything's going to be okay now. I should be the one thanking you. It was you that rescued me from Chaos. Thank you Serena." Xena said hanging over Darien to hug her. As she began to pull away both girls felt Darien stirring as they looked to each other and smiled.

"Serena, Xena?" Darien mumbled opening his eyes. "I thought I was going to lose you guys." He said remorsefully.

"Come on Darien. You should know it takes more than a little chaos to get rid of us!" Serena chimed.

"You saved us all Darien. You saved me and I am forever in your debt." Xena smiled with tears in her eyes. "I am so sorry Darien."

Darien reached up to touch her face. "Don't be Xena. As long as you and Serena are okay..." He said sitting up and looking at his blonde angel.

"Serena..." Darien started as Serena put a finger across his mouth as she had done in his vision.

"It's okay Darien. I understand. I want you to be happy. It's possible to be in love with more than one person." She smiled looking to Xena then up at the ceiling.

"Thank you Serena. The same goes for you." Darien said surprisingly. Serena looked at him baffled. "I know how lonely you are when I am gone. I know how much you miss him." Serena looked away guiltily. Darien put a hand on her arm. "It's okay Serena. I understand. I want you to be happy. I never understood it all till now. We're destined to be together. That will not change. But for now, be happy with him." Serena smiled and hugged Darien.

"I love you." She whispered. Suddenly the five sailor scouts awoke and joined the trio.

"Rini, you've grown up!" Darien smiled looking at his future daughter who nodded.

"Mom sent me back to save Xena." Rini affirmed. Xena looked at Rini with a puzzled look.

"Xena, this is mine and Serena's daughter from the future, Rini." Darien said introducing his puzzled girlfriend.

"So if you knew of me does that mean I am part of the future too?" Xena asked tilting her head to the side. Rini nodded.

"Dad's top advisor and the head of Neo-King Endymion's court," Rini stated proudly announcing Xena's future title. Xena sat there in rendered speechless. She had a purpose! Her destiny was sealed with the rest of the sailor scouts and Darien. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"So Xena, I guess you're one of us now!" Mina exclaimed.

"Yup and she's going to move in with us when Darien and her are done with school." Serena piped.

"And you're okay with this?" Rei said a bit irately looking toward Serena.

"Rei, relax. Darien and I talked about this. I am completely okay with it." Serena stated.

"Cool so what do you like to do?" Ami started.

"I love your hair!" Lita said grabbing a strand. But before the sailors could erupt into full-out girly mode Rini interrupted.

"Uh guys? Don't you think we should get home first and then do girl talk?" Everyone looked to Rini and giggled. The seven sailors and Tuxedo Mask transformed and gathered in a large circle: Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Eris, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Mini Moon. "Sailor teleport!" They called. Sailor Eris could feel the power and unity she held with the sailor scouts and smiled. In a flash they were in the middle of Xena's apartment.
"Xena! Thank god you're all right!" Gabrielle cried from the edge of Xena's bed as she ran to greet her sailor soldier. Sailor Eris picked up her guardian kitty and hugged her tight.

The girls gathered all of their things and helped clean up the messy apartment. Rini was the first to leave, returning to the future via the time key. The rest of the sailor scouts decided to give the teleporting a rest and take the convention airplane home. At the airport everyone except Serena had boarded the plane. Serena stood facing the raven-haired couple.

"You take good care of him." Serena smiled at Xena.
"I promise." Xena smiled gesturing a scout promise. The two girls giggled.

"You better getting going before the plane leaves without you Meatball-head." Darien chuckled at the unintentional use of Serena's old nickname. "He'll be waiting for you when you get off the plane." Darien said with a smile. She walked up to hug him.

"I love you," She whispered and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Be sure to call. Take care Xena!" Serena yelled back as she boarded the plane. She sat in a seat next to Rei and Mina and readied for the sixteen hour flight home where a man in a red suit was patiently waiting with a bundle of red roses for his odango's arrival.

Darien and Xena smiled at each other as he placed his arm around her waist.

"Come on, we better go study. We've got a lot of catching up to do." He stated.

"Indeed. Study date? My place?" Xena inquired. "I'll make dinner." She smiled.

"That'd be great." Darien laughed as the two took off down the hall towards home.

Now I have a purpose. Thank you Serenity.
