It felt so familiar to Serena to walk down the street hand in hand
with Endy. She looked up at his boyish face. It was Darien's face down to
every curve. She wondered if it felt like running into a brick wall if she
ran into Endy.
He felt her gaze and looked down at her. She smiled and stood on her tip toes. Her lips met his and a soft, sweet, feeling filled her mind. She slipped her arms around his neck. She couldn't believe how much it felt like a dream and then there was a pang of familiarity. She'd kissed these lips before.
The kiss broke.
Darien couldn't believe he'd just seen that. He stood frozen in place at the corner.
"Was that your first kiss?" Endy asked.
"Well... no." Serena said. She added silently, 'But it felt exactly like it.'
Darien clutched his chest. His heart was beating wildly and pain rushed through his body. He felt to his knees. He'd felt this so much he knew what it meant. Something bad was going to happen. "Serena!" He yelled.
Serena turned and stared at him wide-eyed. Had he seen the kiss? The thought left her mind because she saw Zoicite hovering behind Darien. She took a step forward, but an explosion blasted her backwards. She hit the sidewalk and skidded to a halt. She struggled to take in the scene. Endymion was a few feet ahead of her. He had a look of pure terror on his face.
The sidewalk was shattered and burning in chunks all around her. She looked to her left and saw Tuxedo Mask, eyes closed, and bleeding. His mask and hat were thrown off. Serena gasped, "Darien?" She crawled over to him and laid his head in her lap. She pulled his hair back away from his eyes. Darien was Tuxedo Mask? She'd kissed Darien before?
She tore a peice of her skirt off and wrapped it around his head.
Zoicite laughed. "Don't worry, silly girl! You'll all be dead soon!"
Serena stood. "No! I won't let you do this!" She whispered to herself, "I won't let him die." Endymion knew now. He knew that Serena wasn't the one he was supposed to be with. Not in this time.
Serena thought of all the times with Darien. Yes, he'd been a pain, but there was always something there that told her he didn't mean any of it. He'd come to her rescue so many times. And now she'd gone to him. Him instead Endy. She wouldn't let him die. Not now.
A whooshing sound filled the air and the seven rainbow crystals appeared in front of Serena. She held her hand out and they spun above it until they were one silver blur. The sound stopped and so did the crystals. The Silver Crystal floated in Serena's hand.
Serena was changing slowly into the Moon Princess. She felt her heart beating at a wickedly fast beat. It felt light and she knew that everything would be all right. A comforting feeling rushed through her body. She realized that Darien had grabbed her hand. She bent to her knees and held him.
"Thank God your okay," she said.
"I couldn't just leave you here," he said. Serena smiled through her tears and kissed him. It felt exactly like the one she had shared with Endymion just a few minutes earlier.
Endymion witnessed the change. Darien turned into the Prince and his Princess was with him. Endymion smiled. This was what he would experience one day. He would meet the Princess. And he would love her like he loved Serena.
Sailor Pluto appeared behind him. "It's time to go back Endymion."
He nodded. "I know."
Serena and Darien were oblivious to the two figures walking through a giant gate. Endymion waved over his shoulder. He couldn't wait to get back to the past.
When Serena realized he was gone she smiled. She knew the past was back to normal. She could feel the memories lingering in her mind, moving they're way to the front.
Zoicite did not know what to think. Her perfect plan had fallen into a crumbling mess in matter of minutes. She ran, knowing what the Silver Crystal could do to her, and knowing what Beryl would do to her.
The smoke cleared away and the firefighters put out the fire. The young couple that had witnessed it all had long since gone away. They sat in each other's arms watching the sun go down and knowing that they would always have another sunset another day.
Author's Note: Sorry it took so long! Writer's block. ^_^* That is the end of this story. I think I might do a prologue to tie any lose strings I left. I know that this was extremely fast moving, but I'm sorry. When inspiration comes you have to run with it. I ran about sixty miles an hour. Anyway, please review. (You guys have been great at doing that)
