Chapter 3
Darien, still kneeled down closed his eyes and concentrated. His light, also a light golden color appeared. It got smaller as another tiny one appeared. When they were the same size one went into him and the other into his sister. Darien slowly opened his eyes afraid his plan had failed which ment he was left weak and his sister had died, but it was soon over looked. Lauren slowly opened her eyes and looked at Darien. "I feel so weak." She said so only he could hear her. "What happened? Is Celena gone?" "Shhh. you need to rest." Darien replied, his words gentle yet firm. Lauren could tell Darien felt weak as well. "She didn't attack you, did she? How long was I out?" Her questions kept coming but Darien didn't hear any more from that point on. His mind was on something else. Lauren, who was trying to sit up found she didn't have as much strength as she thought. Darien, with some trouble got up and walked over to where Serena was still standing. Serena looked hurt, and confused, her eyes sad. "Darien I thought that......" She didn't finish thought she didn't have to. Darien understood. "Serena, it can still work out, if you haven't noticed, which is probably why your confused, Lauren is my sister." Darien was begining to see why she got such bad grades in school. "I want it to work out. Darien, I want to be with you. I've always been afraid to tell you that because I thought you hated me." Serena said whille looking at the ground. "Serena, I've never hated you. I want to be with you to, but we're different. To different..... You wouldn't understand." He looked away from her. Not wanting to cause heart break, not wanting to see the tears. "Darien, I...." Serena choked and ran away crying. "You've always been the one to cause heart break. And you wonder why you have so few friends. I should go talk to her....." Darien turned to see Lauren, her eyes sad. She looked like she knew something he didn't. And she did. "We're to different. She doesn't know anything! She doesn't need to! Know body does!" He didn't want to yell at his sister but it was all to complicated. The more her wanted her the more he told himself it wouldn't work. "Why don't you tell her?" Lauren whispered. "I know it's hard. It was hard for me to, but in the end you'll be glad you did." Serena, who was ease dropping in a near by bush struggled to her what they were saying. Luna walked up to her, now sure what her and Artemis thought about her had been correct. She walked behind Serena and pawed her leg gently to get her attention. Serena turned around thinking it was a person, surpirsed to see a cat. "My name is Luna, your gardein. Me and my friend Artemis have been looking for you for a long time, but we finally found you. You are the heroine known as Sailor Moon, protecter of the moon princess. This is yours." Luna pointed with her paw to a heart shapped locket on the ground. "To tranform into Sailor Moon whenever there is trouble you say 'Moon Prism Power'. You must not share this information with anyone except the other scouts: Mercury, Mars, Venus and Jupiter, who are your friends: Amy, Raye, Mina and Lita. You must take this seriously and always fight whatever evil forces come." Serena, shocked by the fact she was Sailor Moon and also shocked because Luna could talk, thought she was dreaming. She pinched herself and surprised by the fact that it hurt, told Luna to follow her as she walked home, asking all kinds of questions to her new cat friend. When they got to Serena's house Luna had Serena use her communicator and told her to call Amy. When Amy picked up and her face appeared on the screen Serena thought it was the coolest thing. "Amy, I need you to come over to my house. Now. You'll have to climb in my window so my mom doesn't know you're here." Serena said. "Serena, how did you get-" But Amy was cut off by Serena. "There's no time for that. Just get here as fast as you can." Serena turned off Amy and called Raye to tell her what she told Amy. After she had called all the scouts Serena sat painterly on her bed waiting for her friends to show. When her friends came and were standing in her room she took out the locket she had received from Luna. "Moon Prism Power!" Serena shouted hoping she got the words right. All the scouts looked in shock as Sailor Moon stood in front of them. The scouts looked at eachother and nodded, then said their lines that made them transform.
"Mercury Power!"
"Jupiter Power!"
"Mars Power!"
"Venus Power!"
After everyone was transformed, Serena just smiled and nodded. 'After all,' She thought. 'I'm probably dreaming any ways. No use getting excited over spilt milk. No, thats not right! I'm starting to get like Mina!'
* outside Darien's apartment *
A dark gray cat with a gold crescent on it's head walked up to Lauren. "Lunar." Lauren said quietly as she bent over to pick up the cat. Lauren smiled. "This is my cat, Lunar." She said to Darien. Lauren looked at Lunar and they both nodded. "Darien," Lunar said. "I have been watching you and now I am sure you are the one we are looking for. You are the prince of Earth, Prince Edmund. I have been looking for you for a long time and I am so glad I have finally found you. The Earth is in danger and we need your help to stop the darkness from taking over the Earth. You and Lauren's life's depend on it." Shockd by a talking cat and finding out he was a prince, he had a million questions, but decided on one for now. "Why does my life depend on it?" "Darien, we are connected to the Earth, thats why we hold the Earth's most powerful weapon, the golden light. If the Earth gets taken over we will die. I don't know why but thats just the way it is. I'm sure you have alot more questions, I did to, but I think right now we should get some sleep. Maybe tomorrow you can tell Serena about your past." Lauren smilled at the last part, knowing it would make her brother mad that she said that. He gave her a warning look and she just giggled and they walked to Darien's apartment.

"My coach is a hide-a-bed. I'll sleep on it tonight and we can swich tomorrow. You take the bed." Darien said to Lauren. "No, it's OK. I can go back to my hotel, it's not that far. I can walk there. It's only an mile. Don't worry about it." Lauren said as she started to head towards the door. "I can drive you. You don't have to walk" Darien said. "You've done enough for me already. You gave up part of your life for me. I can't thank you enough. Lauren replied. She looked at the ground and started to whisper. "I never should have come here. I've just caused you to risk your life for me. I'm sorry." "Don't be. Lauren, You're all I've got and I don't want to lose you to. Driving you there wont be a problem." Darien looked her in the eyes and she smiled slightly. "OK." She replied and they headed to the car. The ride to Lauren's hotel was quiet and the two didn't speak at all except when they got there and Lauren said "Thank you.". When Darien got back to his apartment he went to bed immediately. He dreamt he was in a beautiful garen and everywhere there were roses bushes. Waiting for him was a princess in a long white gown. She smiled when she saw him and walked over to him. "Serenity." He said to her. Unlike usual he said it with out a smile but in a worried tone. He looked at the ground and forced his next words to come. "There's going to be a war." "No! No..... " The girl known as Serenity said as she sat down on a bench trying not to cry. "I'll never see you again." Serenity put her hand over her mouth and started to cry. "My love," He started. "I love you and even if there is a war I will still love you." He put one of his hands on her shoulder and looked into her blue eyes. She looked up at him. "Edmund," she said to him. So that was his name, Edmund. "I think I hear someone coming. You should go." She turned her head away from him and cried harder. Luna ran out into the garden. "Edmund," She said breathlessly. "It's not safe for you to be here any longer. I'm sorry, but you must leave." Luna saw the tears streamng from Serenity's eyes and felt mad at herself for making him leave. "Good bye my princess. Until we meet again. I will remember you always." Edmund kissed Serenity gently and walked away. Serenity's eyes were now red from tears and she ran inside crying. Darien woke up breathing hard from how real the dream was and felt. It all felt so familiar. He heard a quiet meow and looked down to see Lunar. "I'm sorry," She said. "I had to make you remember, I didn't think it would have that much affect on you." Little did she know it had affected some one else as well.
