Chapter 2: Moving On
Serena awoke on a bed with an oxygen mask on her. In front of her was a handsome man with dark green hair, and bright green eyes. Serena looked around breathing, as she heard the ambulance's sirens and realized she was in an ambulance. Next to her was darian, who was still unconscious. "Is he ok?" Serena asked weakly. "Please. Don't speak. Save you energy." The man begged. Tears began to flood Serena's eyes as she stared hopelessly at the still Darian. "What's wrong darian? What are you hiding from me?" Serena asked darian silently in her mind as they made their way to the hospital. Her whole body ached. They finally made their way into the ER and had to operate on Darian as well as Serena who was having chest pains, as well as her whole body aching. Hours later, they both survived and were placed in the same room on white beds, under white sheets with beeping monitors next to them. Soon after, the whole gang arrived to try and cheer Serena up with gifts of all kinds, candy, balloons, and comics. But nothing seemed to work. "Serena… what happened in the car? How'd it happen?" Lita died to know. Serena was fighting to tell or not to tell them about darian, and finally decided that it was the right thing to do. After she explained it, they all stared at darian sleeping back to Serena who was trying not to cry.
"Are you sure?" ami asked. Serena nodded. "Yea. He went totally bogus on me, shouting at me, telling me how annoying I am… then I told him to stop the car, and he got all hysterical and jammed into a car, and we rolled down a massive hill into trees." Serena explained. "That bastard!" rei muttered. her hands were in fists and turning pale white. "What's wrong with him guys? why is he acting this way?" serena asked looking out the window. "don't worry serena. it's probably from stress. you know how he is... in a week, he'll be like old times." mina tried to comfort serena, but nothin worked.
weeks later, serena and darian were let out of teh hospital. darian went directly the opposite away from serena, and never spoke to her. serena was devasted, and locked her self up in her room day and night, not eating, or laughing. the only time the scouts saw her was at school, and she wanted to be alone there too. they never saw darian anymore, and felt like they were all getting away from each other. soon, the scouts started to not speak to each other that much. they were to concerned in thier princess, serena to care about anything else. One day, serena was walking home from school alone, and on a bench, she saw darian kissing another girl! his car was right infront of him, and she could tell the jacket and hair anywhere. serena gasped and told herself it wasn't real, but she couldn't help but believe it. darian glanced at serena and smirked. she kissed the woman again before walking over to serena, who couldn't move from shock. "What's going on darian?" serena asked trembling with anger and sadness. "I'm moving on, serena. its a new day, a new life. your just to annoyign and young to understand... we're over. done, capeach?" darian asked. serena slapped darian across the face before running across the street to her house. but all of a sudden, a car honked, and before she knew what happened, she was being hit by a car. she flew into the air, onto the car, and behind it. the car swerved to a tree. another car swerved to miss serena lying on the floor, and darian looked in shock as serena didn't move.
but he merely smirked to himself, and waled back over to the woman, and they walked away. serena weakly got up crying, and held herself. people began to come over to see if she was ok. but she wasn't. she was suffering from heart broken. she got up, and ran to her house, up to her room, and cried till the sun set. serena was threw in living in a mere shadow, living a dream that would never come true. darian was never going to love her, it was all a lie, she wanted to get rid of the feeling... she held the silver imperium crystal close to her heart. "Silver crystal's power.... guide me throuth this harsh time. please make me get over the loss of darian, and move on." serena wished. there was a bright pink light, it blinded the room. the sun set, and as the crystal faded, serena fell on the floor asleep. her locket containing the crystal, rolled under her bed never to be found again. The next morning, serena woke up and yawned, still noticing she was on the floor, she got up. today, she felt great, she didn't care about darian, who how he felt about her. for once in a long time, she smiled, and ran down the stairs laughing. she ate breakfast, and hugged her parents. "What happened to you?" sammy, her little brothre asked. "I'm free." serena said smiling. "i'm going out. ok mom?" serena asked running to the door. she put on her shoes, and ran out the door. it was a saturday morning, and she felt like going wild.
she walked into downtown and went to a hair style place. the woman took out her pigtails and started to wash her hair. Serena was going to change her whole appearance, and she didn't know why. after several hours went done, serena looked in the mirror. Her hair was cut, to her shoulders, and in a high pony tail, in a bun, that made her hair look like a fan. she had asked to put pink streaks into her hair, and they did that. her bangs were curled different, and the tips were pink as well. she smiled to herself and laughed, thanking the stylist. she then went to get her nails done. they were polished, and painted a pink glittery with butterflies stamped on each nail. the tips of her nails were blue, and had a little star stamped on the tips. she then, went to get a make-over. they gave her thick black mascara, and gave her eyeliner, on top, and on bottom of her eyes, made it smear, and made it bring out her saphire eyes. the lady then mascaraed the tips of her eye lashes pink, and gave a tint of pink eye shadow. they gave her foundation, and gave her a light blush, and bright pink lipstick. she then got crystal moon and star earrings, and got her right ear pierced at top, along with her nose, and tongue, and eyebrow. she was going wild! she also got some rings, and bracelets. she then went to a clothes store and got a whole bunch of guys' baggy pants, and black shirts with logos on them. when the left the store, she had a baggy, parachuit emerald green pants, and black, silver tennis shoes, and a black baggy, long, large shirt that said 'most people bury their demons, never to be seen again. others simply deny their exsistance. a rare few manage to come to peace with their demons. me-- i take mine out for coffee every week. i sometimes even let them drive.'
she was walking home from the clothes store eating an ice cream and she noticed free karate lessons for ninjitsu. she easly went in and demanded to be taught. after her first lesson, she managed to beat up several advanced students, and decided it wasn't for her. she made her way home with head phones on listening to Korn, freak on a leash, and noticed darian sitting on a bench with that same woman as before. "whore..." serena muttered to herself as she got darian's attention by waving. "Hi honey! hows it going? i'd thought you could at least do better? but damn... a skank? so disappointed..." serena said nodding her head. darian's eyes bulged as he stared at the changed serena. "Serena? is that you?" darian asked stunned. "nope. i'm sailor moon!" serena screamed smiling. darian looked over at the woman. "do you know her?" the woman asked. "Yes. she was my ex, that went PSYCHO!" darian shouted. darian suddenly got his by a rock in the face. he rubbed his face and turned to serena, who was holding another rock, leaning on one foot, with her hand on her hip. she was tossing the rock with her other hand up and down grinning. she threw the rock at darian, but it didn't hit darian, it went into a tree. "you missed, bitch." darian explained. "on the contrary..." serena muttered walking off. The next moment, serena heard a woman screaming, and darian shouted "Bees" she then remember how he told her once, that he hated bees. she smiled again.
she check her watch, and noticed it was on 3 in the afternoon. she called Lita on her commuicator. "Serena?" lita asked stunned. "hey Lita! wanna go catch a movie or somthing?" serena asked. "Ok." lita replied. minutes later, serena was at lita's house ringing the door bell. after ringing lita's door bell twice, the door opened, and lita was at the door, with her mouth dropped open. "ser-serena?" lita asked amazed. "Ta-daaaa!" serena said smiling. "sorry i've been so sad all this time... but i'm better now!" serena explained happily. "Why? is dariaan acting normal? did you guys make up?" another voice asked. all of a sudden, mina was at the door, with her eyes glittering. "You look fabulous! wow serena! cool!" she explained checking serena out. "Thanks mina. no... i don't care about darain anymore, or the fact that he's making outb with some whore. i'm free from his clasp, and living my life a different way. like he once said, before i used the crystal, it a new day, a new life." serena explained smiling. "used the crystal?" rei's voice was heard this time as she went to the door. "what'd you do serena?" rei asked meaning with the crystal, and seeing her, with her as well. "I asked the crystal to let me move on. and it worked. this morning, i felt great! exhilerating, like i just was born. i went wild. changed my looks, and had a great morning. then i remembered you guys, and how you were so saddened to see me sad, and i wanna make it up." serena explained.
"We were over here to discuss you, to figure a way to cheer you up. and here you are, cheered up already." ami's explained coming to the door. "oh my..." she muttered seeing serena. "Ok... who else is here that i should know about?" serena asked. "Why don't you come on in..." mina suggested. serena walked into the doorway and noticed that all the scouts were here, including the outters, mini moon, and the starlights. "Why?" serena asked. "They just arrived. there's a new evil about to come, and they came to help us get ready." lita explained. "odango... what-happened?" seiya asked stunned. "seiya... seiya!" serena screamed as she ran to seiya and hugged him. "You're no longer odango..." seiya said looking at serena's hair. "But i like it!" he explained kissing serena on the forehead. "Are the lights back as well?" serena asked. "You bet. we have a concert tomorrow." yaten explained butting in. "yea. everyone's going to be there. you all can have backstage passes if ya want!" this time, taiki butted in. "Uh-oh..." mina muttered. "What?" everyone asked. "Look" mina said pointing out the window. everyone looked out the window. "Serena?" luna asked coming into view. "Hey luna, artemis, diana... rini!" serena said as rini came into view as well behind her. What happened to you?" artemis asked. "I got a new look." serena explained. "Are you and darian made up?" rini asked. serena shook her head. "no... he's going out with another woman, but i'm ok. i used the crystal to help me get over him." serena explained.
"What? serena! now i'm not going to be born!" rini screamed. "Serena! you used the crystal's power to make you not be heart broken over darian?" luna asked. serena nodded. "You can't do that! when it wares off, you'll be worster than you were!" luna hissed. "That i'll just use it again, and again." serena said promptly. "It will suck you energy. you can't do that!" luna explained. "It's called moving on luna. hello!" serena explained. "i'm not going to be born. you and darian need to get back together!" rini barked. "Tell him that. he's the one who decided not to." rini explained. "guys! we have company!" mina explained from the window. "What?" everyone asked turning from serena to the window once more. "Someone's being attacked!" rei explained pointing to the girl with a demon on top of her. "It's the demons! he's taking her soul! we can't let him get it!" taiki explained. "A wha?" serena asked confused. "There is a demon, stronger than these demons, who lives on people's souls, to be young and powerful! we gotta stop that demon!" yaten explained. "Healer star power make-up!" yaten shouted changing into sailor star healer. "Fighter star make-up!" seiya shouted changing into sailor star fighter. "Maker star power make-up!" taiki shouted turning into sailor star maker. The scouts all took their forms as serena looked around for her locket.
"Serena! why haven;t you changed yet?" mars barked as she glanced to see serena hastily looking about for her locket. "I-I can't find my locket!" serena gasped. "Where did you put it?" luna asked. "i don't know. after i used it last night, i fainted. it's probably in my room somewhere!" serea explained. "Why didn't you wish to be more responsible? huh? you should of done that as well!" mars barked. "AHHHHH" the girl screamed .the scouted ran out of lita's house, and serena, and the cats stayed in side and looked out the window. "guys! they need my help!" serena exlpained after ten minutes of watching in frustration on not having the capability to help her friends. "don't go out there serena! you can't without being transformed!" luna explained. "But they need my help!" serena explained. "That demon thing is to strong!" serena said wanting to go out there and do anything. suddenly ,she did, she opened the window and jumped out and ran to the scouts. the demon was about to blast mini moon, but serena got in front of her, and got blasted instead, sending her backwards into a tree. "Serena!" everyone screamed seeing her. serena weakly opened her eyes and rubbed her head. she was badly beatened. suddenly, a rose stopped the demon from gaining on serena. serena looked at the rose as the demon looked onward to see who threw it. secretly, she grabbed the rose, but was pricked, and her finger began to bleed onto the floor. "Ow!" serena winced as she sucked her finger.
she grabbed the rose, as a peteal fell off, and put it in her pocket. she felt her side, and saw that it was bleeding crimson badly. "Tuxedo mask!" venus gasped as the demon attacked him. "venus love chain! encircle!" venus screamed hitting the demon. "We need to vanguish it!" jupiter explained. "yea. but the only one capable of that is sailor moon!" mercury explained. suddenly, the demon went after serena again. unable to think of what to do, she grabbed the rose from her pocket and held it in front of her. memories began to fill her head once more of her and darian. the spell she casted was wareing off. "NO!" serena screamed as the demon hit the rose, and suddenly turned into dust floating with the wind that just came. serena covered her eyes with hands and crying, still holding the rose within her hands. "darian..." serena muttered. "Serena..." the scouts all went to serena to see how she was, but tuxedo mask just began to walk off. "darian! because of you, i'm not going to be born!" mini moon screamed kicking tuxedo mask in the leg. tuxedo mask turned to darian, and turned to face the now rini. he put his hand on rini's cheek, and pushed her to the grass. "You were a brat anyways." darian explained walking off. rini began to cry as well. lita, Amara, and seiya started on darian, and began to chase after him. "You get back here you scared bastard!" Amara snapped. "don't!" serena sobbed. Wha?" everyone asked surprised. "Let him be." serena explained showing her red eyes.
"What is even wrong with him? why is he acting this way? serena? what did you do to him?" rini asked trying not to cry anymore. "i didn't do anything!" serena replied. "Yes you did!" rini expained hitting serena and running off. ami ran after her. "How did that demon turn to dust?" mina asked. "Your hands!" neptune gasped seeing serena's hands were bleeding. "It was from the rose. it hurt when i touched it, as well as the demon." serena explained not letting go of the rose. blood dripped onto her pants. "Let go of it, moonface. its not worth it." amara explained trying to comfort serena. "i don't want to forget about him. i don't want to. i want to know what i did wrong. now that i think about it, it had to be me. he was fine till our aniversery..." serena explained. "What ever happened to moving on?" rei asked. "I don't want to move on!" serena screamed as she suddenly began to cry into the grass.
