AN: Here is another chappie. Please remember as you read this that Serena and Darien will get back together and that this is only an obstacle for their love. Hope you enjoy and tell me what you think.

Serena opened her eyes to find herself in a beautiful bedroom. She slowly got up and walked around the large room. As she did, a young woman ran up to her and smiled politely. She then quickly said her greetings, bowed, and then quietly asked if Serena needed anything. Serena gave her a funny look and then realized that she must have woken up in her future palace. She smiled at the woman before her, seeing clearly now that she was Serena's maid, and shook her head. The maid was about to leave when Serena thought of something and stopped her.

" Wait!" she called after her as she grabbed her hand. The maid turned around, shocked that her princess had touched her. Realizing that this was not proper princess etiquette, Serena blushed softly.

" Yes, Princess Serenity?" the woman asked softly.

" Has a man come to see me this morning?"

The maid thought for a second and then nodded. " I believe so, your Highness, I'll verify it with the front entrance guard of course. If you'll excuse me, I'll go right away."

Serena nodded her head and watched as the maid hurried out of her bedroom, shutting the door behind her. Serena walked around the room, trying to figure out why she was here this time. Opening the top drawer of her dresser she found her communicator and transformation broach along with her wand. A smile came over her face as she realized that she was in fact needed here as Sailor Moon. She hadn't noticed it until now, but as she looked at herself in the full-length mirror, she realized that she wasn't pregnant. She shook her head, wondering how she had overlooked that before. She could do what she loved doing here; she could fight.

She quickly found a pretty pink dress and put it on. After fixing herself up, she made her way to her bedroom door. Just as she was about to open it, the door flung open nearly hitting her. Serena gasped loudly as she backed up. The maid hurried inside, realized what she had done, and then fell to the ground.

" Princes Serenity, I am forever in repentance! As you know I'm new here. I should have knocked. Please don't have me fired."

Serena smiled and then helped the girl up. " Of course not. What's your name?"

" Brianna, your Highness."

" Well then Brianna, what did the front gate guard tell you?"

" There was a man who came to see you… umm… a tall man with silver hair and blue eyes… he didn't give his name, he just told the guard that you were expecting him."

Serena smiled and nodded. " Thank you Brianna."

Serena quickly hurried down the stairs and towards the front entrance. Her smile brightened as she laid eyes on her mystery man. Running up to him, she grabbed his hand and then quickly walked him outside.

" What are you doing here? How did you know that I'd be here?" Serena asked softly, not conscious of still holding his hand, as they walked towards the garden.

" I can sense when you enter this time period."

" I'm so glad you're here," Serena whispered as they stopped walking.

They stared at the beautiful garden, the one where her first dream of him had started. She bent down to pick up a flower. Holding it up to her nose, she breathed in the sweet smell of roses. She rose to straighten herself, but as she did, she felt something hard hit the back of her head. Spinning around, she realized that the man had been directly above her and that she had knocked him out when she rose so quickly. Falling back to the ground, she hunched over him.

She gently ran her fingers along his face, his soft skin giving her shivers. She quickly began to tear up. This man, although she didn't know his name, was a good man. He'd helped her in her dreams; he'd given her a friend. Placing her head on his chest, she could hear his heart beating steadily, the rhythm of it sending her to a peaceful place. After a couple of minutes, she felt him move ever so slightly beneath her. She quickly moved herself off of him and stared into his eyes. A faint blush crept over her cheeks as he smiled.

" I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" Serena asked softly, very much concerned.

" I am now," he said, pulling her back unto his chest. Serena once again blushed, but didn't move away.

" I'm glad. I don't know what I'd do without you. You've become such a big part of my life," Serena said turning to face him.

The man looked lovingly at her as he brushed her face with his fingers. His eyes dropped from her face to her lips. Seeing this, Serena inched forward. As if there was an invisible magnet force bringing them together, their lips met. And at this moment, no thoughts of Darien came to mind. This man kissed her so tenderly, with so much love, even though they barely knew each other. She smiled into his face and then broke apart. Their noses touching, she looked into his eyes, smiling.

" Now will you tell me your name?" she asked through a giggle.

The man moved slightly away from her, just far enough to kiss her nose. " If you really want to know, of course, My Love," he paused and lightly kissed her again. " It's Adrien."

Just as those words exited his mouth, Serena could feel herself losing him. It was like her spirit was moving, but her body was staying put. She didn't want to leave, but she knew that her leaving would win out.

" I have to go… I can feel myself waking up. Wait for me?" she asked pleadingly.

" Of course, Princess. I'll always be here for you, like I said before."

Serena smiled and reached to kiss him one last time before she woke up. He held her close, kissing her ever so delicately. She felt her body moving away from his. She was soon floating in the air. She looked down at him and felt a tear roll down her face.

" Adrien!" she yelled after him, holding her hand out to him vainly. " Adrien!"

Serena jerked awake, to find Mina staring at her intensely. " Serena! Are you okay? What happened? Why were you screaming Adrien? Is that the mystery man's name?"

Serena's fingers went to her lips as she remembered his kisses. Her vision hazed as she memorized his face in her mind. She'd always remember his handsome face, his blue eyes. Her mind jerked. Blue eyes. Darien had blue eyes as well. How could she have kissed Adrien? She loved Darien so much. Sighing, she faced Mina.

" Yes. It's his name," Serena said calmly, avoiding telling her about the dream. She quickly began fanning herself. " Is it hot in here? I'm so thirsty, can you get me a glass of water?"

Mina nodded. Getting up, she hurried into the kitchen. Serena sighed a sigh of relief as Mina did this. She'd managed to avoid telling her about her dream, at least for now. She just didn't know how to tell her best friend, someone who trusted her and looked up to her as her leader, that she had cheated on her betrothed. She just couldn't.
