Rei stood at the entrance of the temple waiting for everyone to arrive. She had been up most of the night reading the great fire and was wurprised to learn that there was another knight that was on his way. ' I wonder what this will mean for the rest of us? ' She was about to walk back in when she heard someone walking towards her from behind. Rei quickly turned around and came face to face with a pair of stimulating pale blue eyes. She tried to step back and stumbled over her own footing she closed her eyes and prepared herself for impact, but was caught by two strong arms. Rei opened her eyes and realized that the young man behind her had caught her. " You know Rei, I would expect this from Serena, but never from you. " The young man helped Rei steady herself and began to laugh lightly. Rei was so confused she thought she was going to faint, but somehow found her voice. " H..ho..how do you know m..my name? " Rei suddenly felt uncomfortable, and began to back up slowly. The young man reached his hand out and grabbed Reis hand and stopped her. " Listen Rei don't you remember me? It's me Rei.....Travis. " Rei looked at the young man and shook her head, she was about to run when she felt a strong hand on her shoulder. " Rei what is going on here? " Jedite asked his confused girlfriend. Rei turned around and embraced Jedite and began to cry in his shirt. Jedite looked at the young man before him and was confused as to why Rei would cry, then it hit him. He was trying to hurt Rei. Jedite calmly pulled Rei away from him and proceded towards the guy in front of him. "Listen I don't know who you are, but you better leave and if I ever see you here again, I will break your arm in three different places." Jedite was about to lunge at the guy when he heard Darien speaking to him. " Jay, calm down. What is going on here? " Jedite turned around and practically yelled at Darien, " CALM DOWN !!! Hell NO, This jerk was trying to attack Rei." Jedite half yelled at his friend. Malachite was coming through the group at Travis, when Hudson jumped in between them. " STOP THIS!!! It's not what it seems." Then she turned towards Travis. " Where is she? Where is Serena? " Hudson asked hurriedly. Travis looked at Hudson and then at the group of his old friends and suddenly felt like an outcast. "What do you mean where is Serena? That is what I was about to ask Rei, before Jedite here accused me of attacking her." Travis said as he backed up a foot or so to get out of harms way. " WHAT? How the HELL do you know my name? " Jedite asked in a heated tone. Rei looked at Travis, and Hudson before stepping forward. " How do you know us? " She asked him softly. Travis was about to answer when Luna and Artemis came running up to them all, with Setsuna behind them. " TRAVIS...What are you doing here? " Luna asked in a confused tone as she ran and jumped up on the young man. "Well I...don't know...I just woke up and." Travis was cut off when Setsuna spoke. " Listen everyone go into the temple and sit down I think I owe you all an explanation. " With that they all turned around and walked into the temple and waited. Setsuna walked into the middle of the room with Travis and began. " Ok everyone listen up, and listen good. This evil that we are facing is a very powerful force. We thought we could over come it on our own, but we were wrong. I was told by Neo King Endymion, that I was to awaken the keeper of the Golden Imperium Crystal, and bring him here to reunite him with his sister. At first we thought he wasn't needed until the time of Crystal Tokyo, but we were wrong. So that is why Travis is here now." Setsuna became quiet and looked around, the room and her eyse fell upon Darien. " Darien do YOU remeber Travis? " Darien looked at the young man and shook his head. "No, but he seems familliar." Darien and Travis eyed each other, and Travis began to speak. " Well Darien, let's just say that we both love the same woman, but in two different aspects. You are her true love, the one she is destined for. I on the other hand am only her brother. " Darien and the rest of the group looked at Travis in total confusion, until Mina stood and ran to envelope him in a hug. " Travis I never thought we would see you again. " Mina was crying as she spoke. Suddenly it all became so clear. Travis then began to explain further as him and Mina parted. " You see for you guys your memories were only revealed when needed to be. This helped to try to give you all normal lives, as for Hudson and I we were basically born of all of our knowledge, and merely waited until the time was right to join you all. " Travis finished explaining it all, and then let the group reflect. Once it was all over and done with the room was filled with laughter and joy. Travis and Hudson were finally reunited with there friends, and couldn't wait to see there princess, and sister. Luna walked up to Travis, and jumped up on his lap, " I am sorry my prince that I didn't remember you sooner." She said as she hung her head low. Travis lifted her chin and laughed," It wasn't your fault Luna. That is how it was suppose to be, but at least now we all are together." Luna agreed, and then jumped up to his shoulder. Setsuna then gave them a message that they all longed to hear. " Serena is going to be back in Tokyo tonight, at 7:00 pm. That is when there plane will land. I suggest we all go and change and meet up here at 6:00 to go and greet her and Zoicite and our other knight." Everyone agreed and then they all dispearsed to there homes.
Darien was about to walk out when he was stopped by Hudson and Travis.
" Darien it is really good to see you again, and I am happy that you and Serena have found one another. I just hope that she will be happy to see me." Travis had a hint of saddness in his voice, but was quickly put to ease as Darien spoke. "Listen Travis, Serena is the same wonderful and caring person that she ever was. She will be happy to see you and have you in her life once more." He then turned towards Hudson, " Well it looks like you will be reunited with your love afterall." Darien stated with a smile on his face.
" Yes Darien I will get to see him again, but..well he won't remember any of us off hand. He has no idea of who he really is. I know this for a fact, but that is all I do know. Listen guys I better go and get changed ok, talk to you at 6:00.. bye bye guys." With that Hudson hurried down the temple steps. Darien and Travis watched her go, then Darien turned towards Travis. " Where are you staying at here in Tokyo? " Travis looked at Darien and shook his head, " I haven't found anything yet, unlike Serena I'm not is school anymore I graduated early. " Travis noticed the look that over came Dariens face and he continued on. " Back on the moon Serena was very smart, and I am sure she is on Earth to, she just refused to give her all at school work. I on the other hand have always had the gift of being able to breaze through anything. So school really wasn't hard for me at all. " Darien listened to Travis before speaking. " Well Tarvis, you are welcome to crash at my apartment until you find work and get a place of your own. " Travis agreed and then they both decided to go to the crown for a milkshake, and catch up on all that they had missed. On there way there Darien began to feel a sudden feeling of joy as he felt Serena getting closer and closer to home. He still couldn't pick up on there link, but his heart felt her.
Travis and Darien hung out together and went back to Dariens apartment so Travis could get comfortable, and change. Darien followed suit and as soon as they were done they took off out of the apartment to go meet up with the others. Once at the temple everyone headed to the airport.
" So Ames what flight are they coming in on? " Mina asked as they entered the huge complex. " Well I believe it is flight 478B arriving at gate 20. " Amy said as she began to walk towards an attendant to ask them if the flight was ontime. Once they had gotten all there information the gang of people headed towards the gate to wait the arrival of there friends.

*~*~ On the plane near Tokyo ~*~*

" Ouch..." Zoicite looked over at Serena and began to laugh to himself as he watched her struggle putting her seatbelt back on. "Here Serena let me help you out there. " Zoicite said as he buckled it for a now hurt Serena. "Zoicite I'm scared, I mean I feel as if I am meeting strangers, even though these guys are my best friends, and Darien. " Serena turned to look out the window and noticed that they were rapidly approaching there destination. " What if he...you know...found someone else, and forgot about me. " Serena looked up at Zoicite and began to get tears in her eyes as Zoicite put his arm around her and pulled her towards him. " Shhh Serena, Darien is so devoted to you that he would never do that. He loves you with all of his heart. " Serena began to shake her head and sighed. Lee observed all of this, and felt a warming feeling overcome him, and the sense of wanting to reach out to Serena and protect her from every bad thing there was. He was suddenly confused by his emotions for the tiny blond sitting next to his roomate.
'What is wrong with me? She has a boyfriend, and friends who obviously love her, why do I feel like I should keep her safe?' Lee was brought out of his thoughts by Serena grabbing his hand and smiling at him. Her little way of telling him it would be ok.
The three of them began to talk hurriedly about what they would do once they were all on the ground. " Zoicite, should we contact Darien and them to meet us at the airport? " Serena asked as she stared out of the window and watched them begin there descend upon the runway. " Nah, I say we just grab a taxi and head over to the temple, you know how they are. They are probably there or at the arcade hastling Andrew. " Zoicite said as he began gathering his carry on luggage. Serena and him began laughing as Lee listend to the two of them, and quickly let his fears of meeting all of there friends fly out of the window.

*~*~ Inside the airport ~*~*

" Oh look guys there it is it's landing now, so not much longer! " Mina said happily as she pressed her hands on the glass and waited for Serena, and Zoicites plane to land. Travis and Darien were talking when Mina interupted everyone with her statement. Darien and Travis hurried over to where Mina stood, and watched the plane descend towards the ground. Time seem to slow down as they all waited for the plane to land. Darien had brought Serena a dozen roses and was becoming nervous as he waited. Travis noticed his nervous stature and quickly put his hand on Dariens shoulder as if to give him support. " Listen Dare, you think you are nervous? Think of how I feel, I haven't seen her in over a thousand years. " Darien and Travis both laughed at the little statement.
As soon as the plane was landed and docked the passengers began there departure from the plane, and the group of young people waited and watched patiently for there friends to get off, but they didn't seem to be on the plane. They waited for the last of the passengers to get off and there was still no sign of Serena, Zoicite or there friend. Darien and the group were about to leave when he heard a laugh that could have only been from one person. His heart began to beat faster as he approached the gate. Mina and the others all turned around and were quickly greeted with a familliar meatball hairstyle approaching them. Darien quickly yelled out her name causing Serena to stop in her tracks. " SERENA !!! " Darien yelled as he ran in her direction. Serena stopped and turned around and was soon face to face with Darien. " OH MY GODS DARIEN! " Serena threw her arms around Darien and held him tightly as he held on to her. Everyone was so happy to see there prince and princess reunited. Amy and Zoicite quickly embraced and held on to one another not wanting to let go. Mina and Rei both cuddled up closer to Malachite and Jedite as they watched the two couples reuniting. " Oh Serena you had me so worried, I was going out of my mind not knowing where you were." Darien said as he held her lithe body close to his. " I never want to lose you Serena, I couldn't bear not being near you. " Darien said as he began to cry into her hair. Serena pulled back and looked at Darien and then pulled his face closer to hers, " I love you Darien.. " Was all she said before she placed a sweet, but passionate kiss on Dariens lips. The group of people watched as Darien and Serena shared a special moment, a moment that was well deserved from both of them. As they broke apart from each other Serena made her rounds hugging all of her fiends, but quickly came to a stop at Travis, and Hudson. Serena eyed them both and then she let out a scream of joy as she threw out her arms and embraced Travis, and Hudson in one big bear hug. " Oh my gods, where have you two been? I haven't seen you two in so long." Serena exclaimed ecstaticly. Travis pulled his sister closer to him and whispered in her ear, " Over a thousand years to be exact. " Serena began to laugh hysterically and then let go of Travis, and reached for Hudson. "How have you been? I have missed you so much. Where is....? " Serena broke off her sentance as she turned around and looked at Lee. " Oh my....I can't believe I didn't realize it earlier. Lee..." Serena stopped there as Darein began to shuffle everyone out of the terminal and towards the parking garage. Luna hopped up on Serena's shoulder and asked her in a hused tone, "Serena where is Zodiac? Lee didn't bring him. " Serena then turned around and motioned for everyone to stop, " We have to go and get our bags, and Zodiac."
Lees face turned white as he heard Serena speak. "Yeah I can't believe that I forgot about Zodiac. " With that the group made their way to baggae claims. Once they had picked up there things and retreived Zodiac they all headed outside to the garage, and made there way back to the temple in order to have a talk. Serena, Hudson, Travis, and Luna all squeezed into the car with Darien and led the way.

*~*~ Dariens car ~*~*

"Serena, I take it Lee has no memory of anything at all does he? " Hudson asked as she looked at the blond in the front seat. Serena shook her head.
" Until yesterday I didn't even no my name, much less any of you. I didn't even remember Lee until a few minutes ago in the terminal. I'm sure by the end of the night he will remember something. I'm...re..really sorry Hudson, I know how much you love him." Serena turned to look at Hudson who sat there motionless, but she quickly smiled when she noticed how sad Serena looked.
" You're right Serena, he will remember all of us." Travis jsut stared at Serena and smiled at his twin and began to remember all the good times they had shared on the moon. He was remembering a certain memory in which he had gotten prncess Serenity in trouble by blamming her for breaking on there mothers precious antiques, when Serena burst through his thoughts by speaking. "NO TRAVIS, it still isn't funny. " The other three passengers in the car gave Serena a strange look befor she explained. " One of the many 'WONDERFUL' gifts of having a twin is that your never alone with your thoughts, right TRAVIS. " Travis looked at Serena and started laughing, " I agree. But it's still funny to think about that day." He continued laughing as Serena turned in her seat and began to pout. " Ahh come on sis, it's so wonderful to see you again. " Travis said as he lightly tugged on one of Serenas long ponytails. Serena stared at Darien and saw him trying not to laugh and found it hard herself to keep from laughing.
They were still laughing as they pulled up to the temple. Serena had finally agreed to let Travis tell them all about he had gotten his sister in trouble.
They quickly got out of the car, and began there walk up the steps towards the temple where everyone else was heading so they could all catch up and hear about what had happened to Serena in America, and to eventually reunite Lee and Hudson together.
