Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, Naoko-san does...however, if she wants to sell the rights I have $6.02 (somehow I don't think that's enough)...Maybe it's enough to buy Darien or Andrew? *Scratches her head* I guess not...*sigh*
Hey Minna,
Thanx for all the reviews! I hope U like this chapter! For
those who said that the scouts wouldn't kick Serena out for being late to a
meeting you are correct...but if u thought that's why they kicked her out u
didn't read chapter 1 very closely...If u thought this please reread ch1...I
will go into a more detailed description in one of the later chapters. And for
those of u who said no-one could find an apartment in 3 days in New York
City...U r right and I would know...but this story is *fiction* and there-fore
I can say she found an apartment in three days...so there *sticks out her
tongue and blows a raspberry* *THBBBT*...hehe...
Ja ne,
Flame
P.S. Thank you to my editor Emily
Kimbro and to Polgara!!!

Time Apart
By: Lady of Flame
Chapter 2
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena had been in New York for a
month, when she finally found a suitable roommate. She and Luna were currently
helping him move into the three-bedroom apartment.
After being in New York for a week, Luna had converted to the human form (Serena didn't know Luna could take this form), freaking Serena out.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Flashback*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena
tidied up her living room, well aware that her cat-guardian was watching her
intently.
"Serena?"
"Yes Luna?"
"I believe it is time you understood my full
capabilities," with that comment there was a blinding flash and where Luna
had sat now stood a young woman with the same intelligent expression as Luna.
Serena gasped, staring at the woman in shock,
"L--l-Luna?"
"Yes, its me."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End Flashback*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Luna had been a huge help to Serena since
then. She helped decorate and also helped her find her new roommate, Paul
McDonald.
Serena's
condition was beginning to become visible after the first trimester. Paul had
casually asked after the father of the child, but Serena had refused to part
with any information, so he had let it go. Paul was currently dating a nice guy
named Jared. He (Paul) was working as a waiter while he studied to get his
Ph.D.
Serena was as happy as she could be...considering she was constantly homesick and wanted more than anything else to call Darien and the girls. But, she continued to live, struggling through each day and night, her one safe hold the baby she carried.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Darien
walked down the crowded streets of New York dejectedly. He'd been in New York
City for three weeks now, searching for a hint of her, anything at all. But, he hadn't found a single trace of her,
physically, telepathically, or otherwise.
As
he continued to stroll down the street his eyes came to rest on a pregnant woman
with blond buns on the top of her head, and he stopped short in shock. He
hadn't even felt her telepathic signal, but there she was, clear as day.
Darien
blinked as he took note of the tall man she was walking with. His hair and eyes
were a warm chocolate brown and Serena kept referring to him as 'Paulie'. One
thought crossed Darien's mind, *HE. MUST. DIE. *
They
disappeared into the apartment building across the street. Darien stood there
for hours afterward; staring at the building the love of his life had entered
with another man.
Eventually,
Darien realized that it was getting dark out, and he wandered back to his own
apartment, less then a block from Serena's.
As
he plopped down on his easy chair the bitter irony of the situation hit him in
full. To imagine that he had been searching every bit of New York for over a
month now, and all the time Serena had been living a mere block away from
him. And, if that wasn't bad enough,
when he finally finds her, he discovers that she's with another man.
Darien
would have been pissed off with Serena if it not for the little fact that it
had been partially his fault that she'd left Tokyo in the first place. After hearing about the vision Raye had
gotten from the great fire, of Sailor Moon dying in a battle against a new
enemy, the scouts and Darien had decided to do anything in order to prevent
that from happening, after all, Raye's visions always proved to be true. Unfortunately, the only thing that they
could think of was to kick Serena out of the team. Later, they had come to the conclusion that throwing her out was
the stupidest thing they could had ever done, specially since they used the
lame excuse of her having been 'late one too many times' as their reason for
letting her go. Darien had been the first
one to come around and see the error in their thinking. For the past month his only goal had been to
find her and apologize. He had been
smart enough to call the airline to try and find out her destination. When he'd last seen the girls they had all
been heartbroken, and Artemis was sorely missing Luna.
Darien's only wish had
been that when he found Serena that she would be all right. Now, he wished that she wasn't with that
other man. The thought of seeing those
two together was driving him crazy. Regardless, he had to apologize to her, and attempt to keep from killing
the hated 'Paulie', but it was going to be hard. Seeing them together was going to test his nerves.
Darien laughed manically as he stared at the stark apartment wall. He was really losing it. But, then a strange idea entered his head.
*What if ...what if I were to win her back? *
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End Chapter 2*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
AN: Paul is Serena's *ahem* gay roommate…I have nothing against gay men. I have some gay friends...this is just an aspect of the story
I know I know! Its really short and I apologize. However, I could
only spare soooo much time. I've been sooooo busy with a HUGE English report
and now studying for finals...Please have patience. I'll try to have another
chapter out in a few weeks...that is if ya'll read and review...it's all up to
you!!
