Chapter 2
*Tomorrow, Valentine's day*

Since Valentines day fell on a Saturday the five friends were going to the arcade. Serena had received a bouquet of roses and was carrying them as she walked. Darien saw her and for some reason wanted to be nice to her, but he ignored this feeling. "I bet you bought thoose roses for yourself so no one would feel sorry for you." Darien snickered. "Oh, yah well, I bet you didn't get one Valentine! At least I got one. There was a voice from behinde them. "Happy Valentine's day, Darien." "Hi Lauren." He replied as he walked towards the girl. She looked the same age as him and looked almost the same too. The only difference was her hair, it was long, about the same length of Mina's. "It's been a long time......" Darien's voice trailed off. "Yah, too long...." Her voice sounded like a cross between Raye's, Serena's and Amy's. "Oh. I just remembered something! I have to go. Bye!" Lauren said as she ran out the door. Artemis and Luna stood watching from the doorway. "I sense something from thoose two. But I know the prince and princess aren't brother and sister." Luna whispered to Artemis. "You don't know their related." Artemis replied but Luna didn't answer. She just turned and walked away. "Come on, we have to follow her." Luna said whille running towards her. Off in the distance she heard a voice call "Earth Power!" A sailor scout appeared, her face coved by a shadow. The enemy from the day before, Celena appeared. "You again! I thought I got rid of you! You could have joined me! We could have ruled together by you chose to fight me so a fight you will get!" Celena said before blasting the sailor scout, who dodged the attack easily. "Earth.... Blizzard...... BLAST" The sailor scout shouted. A huricane of ice came charging at Celena. The attack hit and she dissapeared yelling "You'll pay for that!" Then she was gone. The scout looked around to make sure no one was looking and detransformed herself. Then she ran off. Luna and Artemis looked at each other and nodded then ran after her. They tried to follow but got lost and ended up at the arcade. As they went up to the entrance they saw Serena walk out and head towards the pool. 'Perfect.' She thought. No one was at the pool when she got there. Serena decided to face her fears of the high dive and walked shaking with fear up to the diving bored. As she reached the top she looked down at the blue water. "Here goes........." She said to herself and jumped but on the way down hit her head on the diving bored. The pain stabed her and she hit the water unprepared to swim. Her head throbbed and she was gasping for breath but just inhaled water. She coughed and felt darkness take over her. She sunk to the bottom of the pool, where she was, 12 feet deep. Darien walked out of the boys' locker room and walked up to the edge of the pool. He saw Serena on the bottom of the pool but did not know who it was. He jumped into the deep end and swam down to the bottom where Serena was. He now could see it was Serena. Wasting no time he picked her up and swam to the top and over to the side of the pool. He got out carrying her and laid her down gently on the ground next to the pool. he placed 2 fingers on her neck and found she was still alive, barley. Darien hesitated and made sure no one was around he did CPR on Serena. After a couple times Serena started to cough and opened her eyes. "w- what happened?" Serena asked. "You hit your head." Darien answered. "Why did you save me?" Serena asked. "I was the first one to see you. I wouldn't just leave you there..... Can you stand? I'll take you to my apartment and you can call your partents and tell them where you are." Darien said. "I think so...." Serena said weakly as she tried to stand but then fell back down again. Darien stoud up and reached out his hand which Serena accepted and he helped her up. "I.......... never thought of you as nice..... until now." Serena said embarrassed. He turnd his head away from Serena's. "I don't have many friends. And I don't have my parents to talk to." Darien said and turned back to Serena. "What happened to you parents?" Serena asked not sure she wanted to know. Darien looked at the ground. "They were killed when I was five. In a car crash." "I'm so sorry. I had no idea." Serena said in a sad whisper. Darien felt tears but he didn't want o cry in front of Serena. He blinked the tears away and acted like nothing was wronge. "Come on. My apartment's just across the street." Darien said as he wrapped his towel around Serena. The two of them walked side by side to the door. Before they ot to the door Amy walked in with her bathing suit on carrying a towel. She looked confused, probably because Serena and Darien weren't yelling at each other. Serena held the towel against her and follow Darien as he lead the way to his aprtment. When they got to it and went inside the first thing Serena noticed was all the books. "What are you studying to go to collage for?" "I want to be a doctor." Darien replied. Serena stared into his dreamy blue eyes and almost didn't hear his answer. 'He's soooo hot. What am I saying?! I bet he has tons of girls after him. Why would he go for a girl like me?' Serena thought as Darien started to speak to her. "I'm going to go change. I'll be right back. You can sit down, you don't have to stand." He said gesturing to couch. He walked out of the room into the bathroom and Serena sat down on the couch still thinking about him. A little whille later Darien walked back into the room walked up to her. "Do you want me to take you home now?" "Yes." She answered quietly looking at the ground. She stood up, still holding the towel. "Can I have my towel back?" Darien asked. She handed him the towel which he put in the bathroom. They walked out to Darien's car but before they got in Celena appeared. She faced Serena. "You must have the golden light! I've felt strong energy coming from you!" Celena said while sticking her hand out at Serena. A bright pink light came out of her hand and hit Serena. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground. A small white ball with a mysterious white light coming off of it came out of Serena's chest. "Darn! She's not the one! but her light will help our plan. It has a strange energy coming from it." Celena said as she started to walk away. Darien ran up to her and tried to take it but she just shoved him out of the way. "Out of my way foolish boy!" Celena said gettin angrier by the minute. "Everyone has their own light. It may not be gold but everyone has one. Our goal is to turn dark ones, like yours pure!" A sailor scout in the shadows said. Sailor Venus stepped forward. "I'm Sailor Venus, and I'm here to right your wrongs!" Three other scouts stepped forward, Sailors Mars, Mercury and Jupiter. "And we are the Sailor scouts!" All four scouts said together. "Well there's a big threat!" Celena said laughing.
Mars....... Fire...... Egnight!!!!!!!
The strength of the attack surprised Celena and she dropped the glowing ball. "Noooo!!!!!" Sailor Venus shouted and ran for the ball. Good thing she was the best player on her volleyball team otherwise she might not have caught it. "You'll pay for that!" Celena shouted. Another scout appeared. "I'm Sailor Earth, the pretecter of this planet and I won't let you get away with this Celena!" Sailor Earth's main color onher sailor suit was light blue, the other being light green. "Gie it up Sailor Earth! My power is much greater than yours!" Celena replied. She closed her eyes and a force field appeared around her. She held her hands in cicle and in between it a black ballapeared giving off a black light. Celena opened her eyes and Sailor Earth fell to the ground. Sailor Earth's light, which was slightly golden and pure appeared and the ball started growing smaller, the light from it getting fainter. Sailor Venus returned Serena's light back to her and she started to open her eyes, shocked to see the battle before her. Darien walked over to her and kneeled beside her. "Darien, what happened?" Serena whispered. "Shhh. Save your strength." Darien replied to her. At this point Sailor Earth's light could barley be seen. The strange thing was as her light disappeared Celena's light got bigger and darker. When Sailor Earth light disappeared Celena smiled. "Now only to find the other half of the golden light." Sailor Earth detransformed, reviling Lauren. Darien, shocked to see his sister, left Serena to see if Lauren was all right. He kneeled before her and she spoke to him, not opening her eyes. "Darien, don't let her get you. Her powers are strong. You have the halve she is looking for. Don't let her get you, you must save Earth. Must....... save....... Earth........." Her voice trailed off. The only way to save her was to get her light back, before it was too late and to find the prince and princess. It was their only hope to save the Earth.
