All though owning Sailor Moon would be really *really* cool, It seem I do not have enough $$$$$
(pulling out insides of pockets and moths fly out) Oh well, onward to the story! ^_^
________________________________________________________________

Sere smoothly walks out into her small living room, brushing her soft
golden blond and sliver waist length hair as she looked up at the crescent moon
shining up in the night sky. She truly missed the Moon Kingdome; it was so
peaceful there. Sere stops brushing her hair as she let's the Moons refreshing light
wash over her troubled sole. Opening her eye's she turns and walks back into the
bathroom, passing a picture of all of the Scouts and Darien standing out in the park
on a nice Saturday afternoon. For a moment she didn't recognize them as their
reborn Earth selves…for one short moment she thought they were back on the
moon as the respected royalty and true friends that they once were.

Sere steps away from the picture, her mind was playing tricks on her once again.
Letting her hair fall down her almost bare back she readjusts her white and sliver
tank top. Sere smiles softly as she looks at her now green eyes; she had just
acquired the green contacts a week ago. They helped to further alter her
appearance; she was no longer the klutzy Serena she left back in Tokyo.

Grabbing her keys she locks her door and heads over to Nicky's apartment only
two doors down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nicky opens her door just as Sere knocks on it. She was about to go
over and grab Sere her self. Nicky grins at Sere as she steps out of her apartment
and locks it. Nicky raps her arm around Sere's shoulders as they walk into the
elevator, bewilderment crossing Sere's face.

"Change of plan, the girls are meeting us at the club."

Sere faces Nicky.

"You were planing this all along weren't you!" Sere growled.

The grin grows on Nicky's face as they walk out to her car.

"Would you of agreed to go if I asked you strait out?"

Serena shakes her head.

"You know I hate going to your 'clubs' unusually I end up with an intoxicated man
that does not know the meaning of No, hitting on me."

Nicky laughs as she unlocks the front doors of her purple sports car and waits
until Sere smoothly sits down in the passenger seat before she closes the door then
walks around the car and sits down in the driver's seat. Sere quickly buckles her
seatbelt as Nicky takes off down the street.

"The girls and I will keep an eye on you. Help you out if that does happen."
Nicky responded still giggling.

"That's what you said last time." Sere groans.

As usual the club was packed and the line up was nearly a block long. Although
Nicky was on the VIP list that John, a tall well built African American man, and
quite cute considering how menacing he looked with his arms crossed, had with
him when he had his shift at the front door. The moment Nicky stops by the curb
and steps out the bell boy takes her keys and parks her car as Nicky raps her arm
around Sere's arm pulling her up to the club.

"Evening Nicky." John spoke with his amazingly deep voice, as he unclipped the
rope and let the two women enter the club.

Nicky smiles her most stunning smiles.

"Evening John! You remember Sere right?" Nicky said as she looked at her friend.

John smile grows.

"How could I forget an angelic woman like Sere."

Sere blushes and returns his smile.

"I have missed you to John."

Nicky rolls her eyes.

"Alright, alright brake it up."

Nicky and Sere wave good bye to John as they enter the club. The music was quite
loud, and the dance floor was packed but that's the way Nicky liked it.

"I'm going to get a refreshment, would you like one as well?" Nicky raises an
eyebrow.

Sere's new vocabulary was starting to expand each day, along with a strange accent
that she did not have when they first met.

Nicky shrugs it off, as she shakes her head.

"Nah I'm going strait for the action. Shire you don't want to join me?"

Sere laughs.

"Me dance? You've got to be kidding! Last time I danced I took down any one in
a two mile radius."

Nicky laughs as she heads out to the dance floor.

Sere smoothly walks over to the bar and grabs a glass of ice water to start; she had
the whole night to make her way up to the coolers and other drinks. Sere acquires
the table that Nicky and the girls usually sat at. Sere scans the crowd of people
dancing and spots Nicky having a grand old time out on the dance floor with a cute
guy. Sere shakes her head, leave it to Nicky to find a guy in two seconds flat.

"Hey babe, care to dance?" Sere groans, as she looks up at the guy standing
before her. It was what she thought another all high and mighty collage jock.

"Not really…" Before she could finish he pulls her from her seat and out onto the
dance floor.

Sere pulls her hand out of his vice like grip, her ice-cold glare could make a sane
man stop in his tracks and think twice about touching her much alone looking at
her. But not this brain damaged idiot.

"Come on Babe, One dance won't hurt ya." He said as he raps his arm around her waist.

Sere Growls as her eyes narrow and her hands ball up into fists. Seeing the
murderous look this idiot was getting from her, John quickly moves over to her side.

"The Lady doesn't want to dance with you." John growled at the jock as he took a
fist full of the guys white shirt, and pulled him away from Sere.

Sere blinks in surprise, she did not expect John protecting her. And then it hit her…
He was her very best friend back on the moon. Placing a hand over her mouth she
gasps, taking a step towards him. The jock far from her mind, as she places a hand
on John's large forearm.

"Zack?" John blinks in surprise, pushing the jockey away from them as he faces
Sere.

John narrows his emerald eyes as he looks closely at Sere's face.

"Princess Serenity!?"

Sere nods and finds herself rapt in his huge arms like a large comforting blanket.

"I can't believe its you Prin…" Zack started but Sere places her hand over his
mouth.

"Please just call my Sere."

Zack nods his head.

"I though I lost you!"

Sere raises an eyebrow.

"How long have you known about the moon?"

Confusion crosses his face.

"Ever since I was really little. Did you not know about your past life as well?"

Sadness crosses Sere's face.

"I had dreams about the moon, they seemed too perfect to be real though."

Sere looks away from Zack.

"It was quite awhile after Luna told me I was Sailor Moon that we found the Silver
Crystal. Only then did I find out that I truly was the Moon Princess. Only then did
most of my memories returned to me."

Zack's blood runs cold at the thought that his princess had been forced to fight as
Sailor Moon. He knew how much she disliked fighting while they lived on the
moon. Although he was from Earth he had lived most of his life on the moon, he
grew up with Serenity. They had become more then just friends they were like
family.

"What are you doing here with out your guardians?"

At the pained look on her face Zack wished he had not asked her that question.
But then with a small grin she answers.

"It was time for me to grow up, and let the scouts move on."

Zack was perplexed by her answer but dared not to ask anything further.

"Hey John!" Another well built man yelled across the seating area. Zack looks up
at the man, waving in acknowledgement.

"I have to get back to work. I have tomorrow off, we should get together."

Sere smiles softly at him.

"I would like that very much Zack." Sere pulls out a pen and writes down her
phone number on a napkin and hands it to him.

"Call me tomorrow then."

Zack grins at her.

"Naturally." Sere smacks Zack's arm.

"Get out of here you big lug."

Zack plasters a hurt look on his face but then warmly smiles as he walks away.
He could never tease Serenity for very long, as soon as he saw her puppy dog eyes
she always had the upper hand.


Amazingly after the whole group ganged up on her they managed to get
Sere out on the dance floor and kept her out for at least three fast songs. Only then
did they let Sere go back to the table, Nicky yells after Sere as she leaves the dance
floor,

"See I told you it would be fun." As Sere laughed as she sits down at the table.

"Not quite as embarrassing as I thought it would be." Sere mumbled.

The three dances proved to be quite exhausting as she leans back in her chair and
holds her ice-cold soda against her glowing face.


Slowly opening her eyes she finds herself still at the club, her head
resting over top of her arms. Fear seizes her mind as she does not recognize her
surroundings, but as the haze that drifted before her mind and eyes faded she once
again knew were she was. Sighing Sere sits up and drinks the last of her now
iceless drink.

"May I join you?" A woman asked as she places a gentle hand on Sere's shoulder.

Sere turns to see who was be hind her.

"Puu!" Sere cried out happily.

Trista couldn't help smiling at her princess. In a blurred motion Sere was hugging
Trista, pulling back she looks at Trista's face.

"I have not seen you for at least four and a half months, what have you been up to?"
Sere takes her seat as Trista sits down beside her.

"I have been aiding the Sailor Scouts fight a new enemy…they really could use
your help princess."

Sere nods her head as she watches the people dance on the dance floor.

"I have felt the peril that they face. There is no need for my return just yet."

Pluto raises an eyebrow, she knew that Sere adorned her crescent moon when she
sang…but why was it on her forehead now? Sere looks into her empty cup and
stands from the table,

"Its extraordinarily hot in here, shall you be joining me out side?"

Trista nods as she to stands and follows Sere out onto the balcony. Sere
smoothly sits on one of the many stone benches facing Trista once again. Trista
was quite surprised to find the crescent moon now blazing upon her head like a
brand. Before Sere could squeak in surprise Trista places a cool hand on her
forehead. It was what she thought Serena was burning up.

"Princess what are the symptoms you are feeling?"

Sere looks at Trista in confusion,

"Symptoms? I feel fine Puu."

Trista warily glances at Sere.

"Why, what is wrong?" Sere moves off of the stone bench and stands before the
Guardian of time.

Trista moves Sere to a window. Sere frowns at what she sees.

"I do not remember adorning my crescent moon…" Sere faces Trista.

"What is going on Puu?"

What's wrong with Serena? Why is the Crescent Moon visible on her forehead? Will Darien and the scouts find their lost princess?
