Tell Me

March 3, 2000 10:21 PM Pacific Time
Series 1/1 (this could change though, depends
on reader reaction)
*There are times, when I can't help but cry
and I wonder why you had to leave me*
"Serena! It's late! You should go
home now." Luna, Sailor Moon's talking guardian
cat scolded. "You're parents are going to know
something's up!"
"In a second Luna. Why don't you go
home already and I'll meet you there?" Sailor Moon
had her back toward Luna, facing the moonlit
lake in the park.
"Well, I don't know if I should..." The
cat said uncertainly.
"I'll be fine. I just need a bit of time
to think about what's happening. Reenie needs
someone to look after her tonight anyway. She's
in danger if no one is looking out for her." Sailor
Moon still not looking at her.
"Very well, but don't stay up too late!"
With those words, Luna turned around and left.
Unknown to Sailor Moon, a shadow
followed her in the darkness. His deep blue eyes
following her every move. Their battle against the
monster that almost put Sailor Moon to eternal
sleep was very painful for them both. Tuxedo Mask's
heart was torn in two when he had to leave Sailor
Moon crying and Sailor Moon's heart broke when
her eternal love turned his back on her. She was
confused and hurting just as he, but he dare not
do anything about it except turn her away.
Sailor Moon's body glowed in the moonlight
as she walked around the lake, unsuspecting of the
hidden gaze of Tuxedo Mask. Suddenly, she stopped,
finally feeling someone's gaze. She turns around,
looking for the source, but gave up on the notion.
"Why do I feel like Darien's here?" Sailor
Moon said out loud. Tuxedo Mask heard it and froze,
hoping she didn't know he was here.
She turned her head back again to the lake
and ignored the feeling.
Suddenly, out of the blue, her uniform faded into her
princess dress made of the finest silk and pure gold
embroidery thread that made up the gold swirls on
the empire waist dress. Tuxedo Mask starred in awe
at the sight and he, too began to transform. His
tuxedo and top hat being replaced by a shiny and
versatile armor. His black cape began to lengthen.
He transformed into his long-ago self, Prince Endymion.
Princess Serenity kept walking around the
lake, thinking of the past. She thought of the happier
times with Endymion before the Negaverse. She felt
safe and secure in his arms.
*Why did it have to end so soon, when you said that
you would never leave me*
While Serenity walked, Endymion was
following her silently, as well.
Serenity stops by a bench with a railing in front of
it. She recognizes it as the benchshe and Darien
used to cuddle next to each other. She steps by the
railing, looking at the bright full moon. Because her
back was to Endymion, he did not see the silent
tears flowing down her downey cheek.
Without warning, a bright light appeared
behind the princess. Serenity
wasn't alarmed, but Endymion was just about ready
to jump out of the shadows to defend Serenity when
a woman with green hair and a dangerous looking
staff entered. She was wearing a sailor suit. Serenity
didn't even flinch, nor turn around to face the new
arrival.
"Hello, Sailor Pluto. I see you recieved
my call." Serenity said to the
woman behind her, not turning to face Pluto because
of the tears she tried to hide.
"Yes, I received your call, Princess Serenity.
I live to serve you." Sailor Pluto gave a short
kneeling stance.
Serenity turn around to face Pluto. "You
do know what has been going on here, do you not
Pluto? You do know why Reenie is here too?" She
asked bluntly.
"Yes I do, your majesty. How did you
know?" Pluto asked calmly, already knowing the
answer.
"It doesn't take me very long to figure
out that Reenie is short for
Serenity and that she is from the future." Serenity
answered her serenly. "It doesn't take me very long
to realize that she is my future daughter either."
Prince Endymion gasped almost audibly at
this piece of news. Sure, he saw the similarities
between the two, but he never would have guessed the
relationship. Then he asked himself the most important
question of all. Who was
Reenie's father?
"Yes, princess, I do know Small Lady. I was
the one that brought her here." Pluto stared at her
monarch.
"Care to tell me why? Can you tell me
about Reenie's father?"
"Princess, you of all people should know I
am not allowed to reveal the future. It will come
soon enough."
"You're right as usual, Pluto." Serenity
casted a glance at the moon.
"Perhaps you can take me out of this prison of
heartache temporarily for me, can you not?"
"Of course, Princess. I can open up a
portal anywhere, any time." Pluto activated her
staff to open a portal at her princess' command.
"Good, take me to the time gates and I
will make my decision there."
Pluto opened up a portal that lead to the
time gates and Serenity entered the portal without
hesitation. Pluto entered next. Endymion only had a
split second to decide whether or not to follow. The
message in his dream surfaced once more and he
shook it off. 'Serenity might need my help. I can't
let her go alone, even if one of her Scouts are
with her.' With those thoughts, he raced toward
the shrinking portal and jumped in.
*Tell me, where did I go wrong. What did I do
to make you change your mind completely. When
I though this love would never end. But if this
love's not ours to have, I'll let it go with your
goodbye*
Endymion landed with a thud in a place
filled with dense fog. 'Where am I?' Endymion
asked himself. He could barely make out the figure
of Sailor Pluto and Princess Serenity in front of him.
He had to move quickly if he wanted to catch up to
them. He picked himself up and followed in a brisk
pace.
"Where in time would you want to go,
Serenity?" Pluto asked her.
"Take me to the past, during the Silver
Millennium." Serenity told
Pluto and she immediately followed her orders.
Endymion had to run again to catch up
with the two women. After goingthrough the portal
Serenity and Pluto went in, he recognized the place
where he landed. He was in the past, his past with
Serenity. He hid under the bushes as Serenity, all
alone, went to sit down on a bench not too far
from where Endymion was hiding. He caught the
site of his past self kissing and cuddling his Serenity.
Endymion's heart ached at the site.
"Princess, a question?" Pluto asked politely.
"What do you want to know, Puu?" Serenity
asked, using an old nickname she hadn't used in a
long time.
"I know about the current situation between
you and the prince, but why did you want to come
back to this time? Wouldn't it bring you more pain?"
Endymion was asking himself the same question.
*Don' know what to do, don't know what to say*
"It's simple, really." Serenity never took
her eyes off of the two soul-mates. "Although right
now, the present seems so bleak, and the future even
bleaker, the past is something that I can look back on
and be somewhat happy. Re-living those memories would
be the closest thing to happiness that I can get. No one
can take the past away from you and it's something
that can keep me alive. My heart is broken into so many
pieces, I don't think I'll ever recover. But seeing the
good times we used to have, it mends it little by little.
It's hard living without the one you love, it's even
harder knowing that they don't love you." The tearing
pain in her heart started once more and tears flowed
endlessly. She watched her former self and her lover
giggling and kissing and she just gave a sad smile. "It's
funny, actually. The one man I vowed to love 'till the
end of time, the one my soul is bound to forever, doesn't
want it. I just can't deal with this pain anymore. I
suspect he loves someone else now and because I love
him so, I'm letting him go." Serenity bowed her head.
"I'm sorry to bring such a difficult topic for
you, but it's necessary for the well-being of the universe."
"It's fine. The sooner I come to grips with
this, the sooner the pain will recceed, or so everyone says."
*Why did it have to end so soon, when you said
that you would never leave me*
Endymion missed her so very much. All
he wanted in this entire universe was to kiss her
sweet lips once more. He wanted to spend the rest of
his life with her, protecting her, and being a good
father to their children. Unfortnately, because of
nightmares, it's very improbable that they would ever
be together once more. He would rather she be with
someone else but alive, that she be with him but dead.
*Tell me, where did I go wrong? What did I do to
make you change your mind completely*
'Why are we always being torn apart,
Endy? I thought you loved me. You swore to me
you loved me. What changed? Was I not good enough
for you anymore? Do you love someone else? I love
you so much and all I want is to be with you. Why
can't you love me like you used to?' Serenity watched
the Prince Endymion playing tag with the princess.
But instead of just catching her, he tagged her with a
kiss each time. Reality came crashing down on her
once more as she realized that she would never be
with Endymion ever again because he no longer
loved her. Just thinking about it brought bitter tears
that never stopped.
"Princess, it's time to go. It's almost
midnight where you come from and I have business
to attend to elsewhere." Pluto broke Serenity's reverie.
"One more minute Pluto, then I won't
bother you again." Serenity forever engraved the
scene in front of her in her mind. "Okay, Pluto,
you can take me back to my time."
Pluto opened a portal to the park for
Serenity who transformed back into Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon went into the portal without question,
but not before thanking Pluto and asking her vow
to protect Small Lady. Endymion transformed back
to Tuxedo Mask also, but he realized he had no
way out unless he went to Sailor Pluto.
Pluto turned around and looked at the
bush saying, "You can come out now, Prince Endymion."
Tuxedo Mask appeared, looking quite sheepish.
"How did you know I was here?"
"Prince Endymion, I don't leave open portals
without a good reason."
Pluto's eyebrow arched.
"So what was the purpose of leaving the
portal open?" Tuxedo Mask asked, getting quite
interested.
"That was just as display on how much
the princess really loves you. I know you know
about Reenie and it is true that Reenie is the
child of Princess Serenity in the future. But I hope
this has taught you to reevaluate the decisions you
have made so far." Pluto opened a portal from her
time staff. "This portal will lead you to your
apartment. The princess is waiting for you there to
talk. I suggest you think about the current situation
and think hard." After those parting words, Pluto
disappeared.
Tuxedo Mask sighed and led himself to the
portal. Indeed, Sailor Moon was waiting for him.
She was not aware that he was with her throughout
her visit with Sailor Pluto.
"Tuxedo Mask, I need to speak with you."
Her voice was emotionless.
Tuxedo Mask sighed and detransformed back
to Darien. Sailor Moon didn't follow his example, though.
She remained as she is as he opened the door to his
apartment. He led her to the balcony where the warm
night air sweeped around them.
*When I thought this love would never end. But if this
love's not ours to have, I'll let it go with your goodbye*
"What did you want to talk about Serena?"
Darien addressed her with her real name as
indifferent as possible.
"I wanted to talk about us. What happened
between us." She said bluntly.
Darien sighed in exasperation. "I told you a
million time. I don't love you anymore! Why can't
you get it through your empty head that I don't
love you? What happened between us was a mistake
that should never have been repeated." He felt Serena's
pain through the space between them. Amazingly, she
didn't cry. The remark had cut too deep to make her
feel anything but pain. Darien knew how much the
words would kill her, but he needed to get the message
across.
"Tell that to my face. Look at me straight in
the eye and tell me those words again. If you can do
that, I'll be out of your life forever. You'll never hear
from me or feel me, or see me unless it's Scout
business until the end of time." Sailor Moon turned
to Darien with dead and empty eyes. It no longer
held the life and vibrance that it used to.
It was a painful choice to make. He didn't
want to be apart from her, but for her safety, he had
to do it. Darien didn't know how he managed it, but
he repeated what he said earlier with an unwavering
gaze. He had enough self-restraint to make his eyes
hard and his voice cold. After he was done, she closed
her eyes and chanted a few words. Darien felt a
searing pain deep within himself. He felt Serena's
presence in his heart and soul stretch to the breaking
point and finally snap. Darien doubled over from the
pain that only lasted a few seconds.
"What happened?" Darien looked at Serena,
her eyes glistening and anguished.
"I broke our soul-bond." She said simply.
"A soul-bond is the result of a deep love that
goes both ways. It makes one person feel and
sense the other and vice versa. It can't only go
one way. Both people have to love each other
deeply." Serena's eyes stared at the moon, where she
died for Darien once already. "Since you no longer love
me, the soul-bond is dissolved until you find another
girl that your soul can bond to."
"Why did you do that?" Darien looked at her,
his eyes wide at the current situation.
"I told you. If you can tell me you no
longer loved me looking deep into my eyes, you will
never feel me or sense me ever again. You will never
feel me transform, feel me when I'm in danger, the
things that you used to feel about me." Serena looked
at the star locket that appeared between them. "This
was made out of love, but this no longer has any
symbolism." With those words, the locket broke to pieces.
"I wish you luck in your life, Darien. I hope
you find the love that you always wanted. I hope you
find the girl you will love until the end of time." Even
as she said those words, tremendous pain built up in
her chest. She had to leave.
Before she left, she whispered almost
incoherently, "I know you're wondering why I'm doing
this after so many weeks of crying about it. There's
only one explaination. I love you so enough to let you
go if it makes you happy. If you're happier without me
than with me, so be it." Serena turned her back to a
silent Darien and closed her eyes in sudden agony
before saying a whispered a final goodbye and leaping
from his balcony to the streets. She disappeared
under the shadows.
"What have I done?" Darien asked himself.
Did he make the right choice?
That's it! How'd ya like it? It's kind of a
spur-of-the-moment so, it's not as good as I'd like
it to be. Please E-mail me and "tell me" what you

me, the soul-bond is dissolved until you find another
girl that your soul can bond to."
"Why did you do that?" Darien looked at her,
his eyes wide at the current situation.
"I told you. If you can tell me you no
longer loved me looking deep into my eyes, you will
never feel me or sense me ever again. You will never
feel me transform, feel me when I'm in danger, the
things that you used to feel about me." Serena looked
at the star locket that appeared between them. "This
was made out of love, but this no longer has any
symbolism." With those words, the locket broke to pieces.
"I wish you luck in your life, Darien. I hope
you find the love that you always wanted. I hope you
find the girl you will love until the end of time." Even
as she said those words, tremendous pain built up in
her chest. She had to leave.
Before she left, she whispered almost
incoherently, "I know you're wondering why I'm doing
this after so many weeks of crying about it. There's
only one explaination. I love you so enough to let you
go if it makes you happy. If you're happier without me
than with me, so be it." Serena turned her back to a
silent Darien and closed her eyes in sudden agony
before saying a whispered a final goodbye and leaping
from his balcony to the streets. She disappeared
under the shadows.
"What have I done?" Darien asked himself.
Did he make the right choice?
That's it! How'd ya like it? It's kind of a
spur-of-the-moment so, it's not as good as I'd like
it to be. Please E-mail me and "tell me" what you
thought of it! -Callista
