I don't own Sailor Moon! This story is dedicated to my friend Katie
who encouraged me to write it! Also special thanks to her since she
waited a whole year to get the ending. This took me over a year to
write and then edit.
Let's Start at the Very Beginning
-EPILOGUE-
-Present day, present time-
Darien woke up in a cold sweat. He breathed heavily as he
recalled his dream. For as long as he could remember, he had
been having dreams about a Princess. She called to him, telling
him that she could bring his memories back.
As a child, Darien had been in a car crash that had taken
his parents along with his memories of anything that had
happened to him before he was six. Darien believed that this
princess could help him remember his parents and what his young
childhood had been like. He wasn't even sure that his real name
was Darien. In his dreams the princess called him Endymion, and
he wondered whether or not that was his real name. He never saw
her face, but he somehow knew her name; Serenity. That was the
name that haunted him every night.
Darien shook his head as he climbed out of bed. On cat's
feet he walked out of his room, through the living room, and then
onto the balcony. A warm spring breeze brushed against his sweat
soaked skin making him shiver slightly.
His parents. Darien didn't even know what they looked like.
Their bodies had been devastatingly unsightly for a six year
old, so the doctors had never let Darien see them before they
were buried. The only thing that his parents had left him with
was a last name. Shivering again, Darien headed back inside.
The next morning he awoke, feeling somewhat refreshed. He
got up and got a brisk shower, ate breakfast, and got dressed into
his school uniform. Darien threw a tuxedo into his school bag too
because he was going for a job interview after school let out. He
jogged the whole way to Azban High-School.
-Later that afternoon-
Darien exited the building, feeling confident that he had
made the job. He had tried out for a major modeling agency, and
he knew that they had liked the way he fit into his tuxedo.
Endymion never knew why, but something about tuxedos made him
think of his past.
The sun shone brightly, almost like it was connected to
Darien's good mood. He hadn't had a good moon in ages. He pulled
out his sunglasses to hide his eyes from the blazing sun.
Suddenly, something landed on his head.
"Ow." He said because he was startled rather than in pain.
The piece of paper that hit him fell into his hand. Darien
unfolded the wadded up ball. A scarlet red thirty got his
attention. 'How could someone get such a bad grade?' Of course,
taking all AP courses, and having a remarkable 5.0 grade average
because of his advanced courses, always led him to be stunned
when someone did so poorly.
Darien's eyes skimmed the person who had thrown the test
paper at him. The girl hadn't even noticed that she had hit him
with her paper. However, that went unnoticed by Darien who stood
gaping in awe at such a natural beauty. Darien Chiba, who never
looked at a girl twice, was openly gaping at a girl he didn't
even know, and he could only see her profile and her long blonde
hair. Becoming furious with himself, he did the only thing he
could. He made a complete jerk out of himself.
"Hey Meatball head," he started to say as he noticed the
girl's unique hairstyle in two buns on the top of her head, "are
you stupid? Or just incredibly lazy?" His conscious, meanwhile,
was bashing the inside of his head loudly screaming, "WHAT DO
YOU THINK YOU'RE SAYING YOU IDIOT?! YOU SHOULD BE DOWN ON YOUR
HANDS AND KNEES ASKING IF YOU CAN TUTOR HER SO THAT YOU CAN SEE
HER EVERYDAY!!" The blonde haired girl turned around. 'Whoa.' He
thought to himself upon seeing the fury in the girl's eyes.
"What gives you the right to insult me?!" She bellowed as
she grabbed the test from his hand. The moment that their hands
touched, time seemed to freeze. A dream that seemed almost like
a memory swept over the two. They both saw a flash of a scene of
two babies touching and emitting a light as soon as their tiny
hands touched. Another image flashed of two children running
through a garden. Next, The two saw each other in the other's
arms dancing. Darien whispered the name he had heard in his
dreams.
"Serenity."
"Endymion." The girl whispered back. Their stupor broke
when a car gave a blast of it's horn. The girl in front of
Darien shook his head, and her anger returned like nothing had
happened.
"And my name is Serena, not Meatball Head!"
Darien watched as the girl turned and high-tailed it out
of there. Darien stood there, just looking at her, finally he turned
around. The blonde girl turned back around once, and then walked
away even faster. Feeling oddly dazed, he walked back to his
apartment.
Serena turned around and looked yet again at the guy that
she had accidentally hit with her test paper. He was walking in
the other direction. She took a few minutes to admire his ahem
backside, and then blushed vermilion when she realized what she
had been doing for the past few minutes. Who he was, she had no
idea, but wished desperately that she did know. There was
definitely something about him.
Serena had met him somewhere before, that she was sure of.
Endymion. That was what she had called him. How did she know
that that was his name? Was it his name? Serena felt so
confused. But there was something about him that made her want
to see him again, even if he was very rude. Of all the nerve,
insulting her hair.
Still, there was something about his voice that seemed
oddly familiar. However, her mind had quickly put that thought
in the back of her mind when she realized exactly what he had
said. She walked away, feeling strangely empty, and yearning to
see the rude, but handsome stranger again. Serena walked back to
her house. Her cat was on the front step, waiting to be let in.
"Hey Luna." Serena greeted her cat. Ever since she had
found the cat, she had felt attached to her. She even expected
Luna to answer her when she talked to her, like they had talked
before. Serena shook her head. Picking up Luna, Serena walked
into her house wondering whether or not she would ever see the
stranger again. She looked down at the test grade in her hand.
She wondered if she would ever be able to be let out of her
house again after another terrible grade.
Serena's mind drifted back to the man she had bumped into.
A feeling inside of her said that she would see him again. There
was something that had started between the two of them. She held
felt it when she had seen that flashback. Serena wished she knew
what the heck was happening to her. 'Get a grip Serena. The next
thing you'll know, Luna will start talking!' Serena laughed at
her own thought. 'Well, where ever I've met him before, maybe
the next time I see him, I can start a new beginning with him.'
She had no idea how true her words would become.
Does anyone want a sequel? I was thinking about writing a sequel
for first season, but I was also thinking about doing a sequel
for later on about Atlantis. Any suggestions? Thanks for

you all enjoyed it. Arigato to everyone that have read this!
Domo Arigato to all of you who have reviewed!
