~*~*~*~*~*~Darien's POV~*~*~*~*~*~

Serena and I drove up to her house, we got out of the car and went in, and we were welcomed to our new home by the scouts and Serena's family. We opened our wedding presents, the standard stuff, blender, microwave, stuff like that. At night we all had dinner; Serena complained about being tired and of coarse Raye said one of her remarks,

"Of coarse you would, any girl would." She said with a wink, Serena stuck out her tongue and went upstairs to her room, we had sold her bed and bought a bigger one, we shared her room, it was a little feminine for me though her furniture wasn't really girlie but there were stuffed animal everywhere. I was worried about Serena and followed after her,

"Serena?" I asked, I smiled at the bunny on the wall that usually said Serena's room, it now said Serena and Darien's room, I walked into the room and found Serena in her bathroom brushing her teeth.

"You're going to bed?" I asked, she nodded, and she looked awfully pale

"You all right?" I asked her as I rubbed her arm up and down. She nodded tiredly, I reminded her that the new nurse was coming tomorrow, she nodded again and walked past me and collapsed on the bed, not literally but you know. She didn't even bother to put the cover's on, I took the blanket from the linen closet and put it on her since she was on top of the bunny blanket. I kissed her on the forehead and went downstairs.

"She's asleep." I said

"Well it IS late." Amy said

"Oh why don't you girl's stay the night?" Mrs. Tskino asked

"That would be great." Lita said, Amy frowned on the idea

"We do have school tomorrow." She said

"Then you better go and get to sleep." Mrs. Tskino said

"I'll gladly go pick up your things." I offered, the girls agreed and I went and got there things from there house's. when I got back the house was pitch black, I put everyone's thing down, there was a faint light from the guest room where the girl's were, I knocked quietly,

"Come in." the girl's said in union, I opened the door

"Am I disturbing you?" I asked, I looked at the group, the only people missing were Amy and Serena

"No! Never Darien, come and join us." Mina insisted

"Well I should be getting back to Serena, but maybe 5 minutes, hold on let me go get your things." I said they smiled and followed me downstairs' we sat in the living room talking till about 5 in the morning.

"Oh man! I've got a class in 3 hours." I complained, the girls laughed

"Haven't you ever pulled an all-nighter?" Raye asked, I nodded yes, it was the time I had my finals the next day, but that was the only time. We just took shower and started to get ready for our busy days, when I came downstairs from my shower Lita had brewed a fresh pot of coffee, Serena's Mother and Father were already up, and Amy was too, Mrs. Tskino was making us all breakfast, Everyone eventfully left for school and I knew I was going to be late but I wanted to wait for Serena, Mrs. Tskino was already cleaning, finally Serena came downstairs in her school uniform (the short sleeved one.) she went over to the fridge and took out a full bottle of milk. She hardly noticed me, her hair was in its Meatball Style and she looked ready for school. I went up behind her and put my arms around her.

"Good-morning." I said

"Good-morning." She said, she started to pour the milk but dropped it, the glass shattered, I guess a gallon of milk could be heavy but nothing nobody couldn't handle.

"Oh great!" she yelled as she went to her feet and started to clean it up with a napkin.

"Serena, here, it's just a bottle of milk. Look you already cut yourself." I said as I took her hand and tried to pull out the glass that was logged in her hand, I kissed it better and she smiled.

"Are you ok Serena?" I asked, she looked so tired

"Just tired." She said, I was amazed

"After a long night's sleep! I didn't get any sleep and I'm fine." I said

"Well maybe I couldn't sleep!" she snapped, I backed off, I got up to got to school, but she stopped me,

"I'm sorry, I'm just tired, truth of the matter is that I did sleep, not comfortably though." She said

"Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" I asked concerned, she nodded no

"Then can I escort you to school Mrs. Shield's?" I asked her, she smiled at the Mrs. Shield's comment

"Why yes Mr. Shield's." She said as she took my arm and we drove to school.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I stood outside the school, Serena had gotten a detention and I decided to wait for her, just then a bunch of the guys came up.

"Hey Serena's Husband." They said I laughed sarcastically,

"So seriously how was she?" Chris asked me, I rolled me eyes

"Hey Darien maybe you could come to the pizza place with us and tell us every detail." Todd joked

"Yeah come with us Darien." Andrew said, I laughed and nodded no

"I'm waiting for Serena." I said

"Oh, the old ball and chain eh?" Chad joked; Chris made a whipped sound and pretended to crack a whip

"Man Darien, your so, how can I put this? Well don't Serena and You like to spend time apart?" Tobey asked trying not to hurt me

"Of course we spend time apart." I said, Todd raised an eyebrow, his purple eye's reminded me of Raye

"Yeah like what Mina told me about your little sleepover?" he asked as he chucked, immediately, Chad, Andrew and Ken looked up

"But we didn't sleep." I said, not realizing what I said

"Amy told me she was asleep the whole time." Greg said quietly

"Darien! You're married and SHE WAS SLEEPING!" Andrew yelled at me

"NO! She was in a different room! Sleeping, as for Mina, Lita and Raye, all we did was talk all night that why I got no sleep." I explained

"Yeah…" Chad said sarcastically

"There's only one way to make it up to us." Ken said, he looked at the guys and they smiled in agreement

"What?" I asked

"Tell us what happened!" they said in union

"Fine, I'll go to the pizza place, but not today, how's tomorrow sound?" I asked, they all nodded then left, I sat back down waiting for Serena, when she finally came out she walked over to me.

"Darien! You waited for me!" she exclaimed, ever since the wedding I had been seeing the old cheerful Serena a lot more, she embraced me and I hugged her back.

"Come on, let's go home." I told her, she agreed and we drove home

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*The Next Day*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I again waited outside school for Serena, I had totally forgotten about the pizza place; luckily the guys came and told me we went over to the pizza place. I told them what they wanted to hear and after that we were walking home, they told me that there house's were over there, they turned and left. I suddenly heard a scream, a familiar scream. I ran to the docks were the scream came from; I saw a monster attacking Serena! All the girls were there but couldn't transform in front of the enemy. I changed into Tuxedo Mask and went over there.

"Leave the girl alone!" I yelled the monster looked at me then at Serena, a light hit Serena and then some kind of Crystal came out.

"It must be a pure heart!" a women said as she appeared, she had long red hair, suddenly a burst of energy hit the women and monster, then something ran across them and took the Crystal.

"Be careful!" I yelled, Raye who had now transformed did a fire thing that burned the 2 mysterious people.

"No! She probably has a pure heart!" the taller of the mysterious people said

"A what?" Venus asked, I never even saw them transform, they were fast.

"Never mind that. Now give us her heart crystal!" The shorter of the mysterious people said, I looked over at a fallen Serena, Raye put back the "heart crystal" and she seemed to regain consciousness, I ran over to her and embraced her

"That was a big mistake!" the taller women said again as they left, the monster and the redhead still remained

"We'll be back for her pure heart! In the mean time Poison Ivy, take care of the silly Sailor Scout's!" she yelled, I looked at the monster, it had seaweed green skin and leaves all around it, it wore a torn and short dark green skirt and top.

"Jupiter Thunder cloud crash!" Jupiter said, it barley dented the monster; it swooped down and took Serena.

"No!" I yelled as I threw a rose at it, big mistake, I got its hand; one of the hands that held Serena over the lake, the monster dropped Serena in the lake. The scout's screamed Serena's name in horror. I ran to the lake but didn't see her; the monster was about the throw another attack at us when we heard a familiar voice,

"Stop right there!" Serena, not Sailor Moon but Serena yelled, I looked in amazement and horror

"You can't Serena!" I yelled, my mask and hat had fallen off somewhere when we were fighting.

"Moon Crystal Power!" Serena yelled at she transformed

"No Serena!" Jupiter yelled

"Prepare to be moondusted Nega-sleeve!" Serena yelled, she turned around and gave us a wink, we all exchanged worried glance's and tried to stop her but couldn't

"Serena no!" Mars yelled

"Moon Scepter Elimination!" She yelled as she whipped out her scepter, before the monster was destroyed she threw one last attack at Sailor Moon, once the monster was destroyed Sailor Moon collapsed, I ran over to her and put her in my arms, my tears fell on her face and stained her beautiful face.

"Serena." I whispered, she detransformed, and Mercury put her hand on my shoulder

"We have to get her to the hospital." She said, I nodded and picked her up, we all detransformed and took her too the hospital. I sat there, the other scouts and I just sat there, not saying anything, and our other friends then showed up, her family was on the way.

"Why hadn't I been there to protect her." I said quietly, Andrew came over to me.

"It's all right." He said I then saw the tears in his eyes too; they were very glassy like mine. I smiled sadly then I heard her voice echo though my mind telling me she loved me, Just then the Tskino's rushed in.

"Where's my baby?" Mrs. Tskino asked me as she looked at me, I looked away in pain.

"She's in examination." I said, I looked down as the tears started to run down my checks, Mina came up to me and hugged me tightly then the doctor walked in, we all looked up in hope and knew she was going to all right but the doctors expression said otherwise.

"She took a big bump to the head and she's very weak and… will be gone soon, she is conscious but try not to upset her, you may go and see her now." The doctor said, the words again echoed through my mind

'She'll be gone soon' I heard again and again, no I couldn't lose her! I wouldn't lose her

I told everybody to go first, I was going to see her last so I wouldn't have to leave her side, and it took a long time, she had so many people who cared about her and wanted to see her but we made it go faster because everyone went in groups of 3, the girls, waited with me, they would go before me together to say good-bye, Mina held my hand and Raye had her arm around me while Amy and Lita tried making light conversation but in the end we all cried our eyes out. It hurt me so much to see that everyone was in pain but I knew it was nothing compared to my pain, to my emptiness, to my breaking heart. Finally the girls went in, leaving me alone again, a memory flashed in my mind

~*~*~*~Flashback~*~*~*~

"So you promise?" Darien asked at her grinned at her

"I promise, I'll never leave you." she said as she kissed his nose

~*~*~*~End Of Flashback~*~*~*~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Raye's POV*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We all walked into the waiting room, we all were reluctant to leave Darien alone but knew we had to see her. The girls and I walked in silently, Serena was sitting there in the bed, starring up at the ceiling, Amy burst out crying, I gave her a hug while Lita and Mina went over to Serena, Our Leader, Our Future Queen, Our Princess, Our friend.

"Hey girl." Lita said as she sniffed

"Hey you guys don't cry! It'll be all right." Serena said

"Yeah, Serena's right, we'll all see each other again." Mina said hopefully, even though we still were crying

"But we have to wait so long." Lita said

"Not necessarily, things aren't always what they seem." Amy said

The whole time I stayed quiet and leave it to Serena to notice

"Raye you haven't said anything, what wrong Pyro? Ate a bug?"  She joked, I cheered up a bit

"No, Meatball Head, unlike you, I don't eat everything I see, like a bug." I said, Serena smiled,

'This was all killing her inside but she had to be brave and put on a happy face. But how was she going to do this, didn't it hurt to act like everything's ok? To know that everyday she wakes up, might be her last?' I thought

I saw a tear in Serena's eyes that I hadn't noticed before, she was putting on a big act just for us, Mina took her hand and rubbed it, Serena then started crying silently, she smiled at us.

"Now listen Guys…" She started; she sniffled and took a Kleenex. She started coughing hard, I felt so bad for her she was in so much pain.

"If I don't see you ever again, you have to move on ok? Just save a little place for me in your heart and then that's it, I don't want you to mourn for me." She said, we all started crying,

"NO Serena! You're going to be ok!" Mina burst out, her tears flew everywhere, I covered my mouth to silence my sob's, Lita hugged Mina tightly and Amy sat by Serena crying, Serena was crying too but smiling too.

"Will you *sniff* guys do something for me?" Serena asked us, we agreed and she took a big gulp,

"Will you look after Darien for me; make sure he'll be happy?" She asked us as we broke down, Amy hugged her and tried to comfort her, we all reluctantly agreed and then left.
