Rini slowly came back to consciousness. Once she regained all of her senses she sat up and looked around, looking at her surroundings. She smiled; it was the same spot she had first met Serena and Darien. If Pluto was right, her first business was to find Serena.

Rini got up and dusted herself off. She headed towards Serena's house. Just before getting there she stopped recalling that she had no idea what year it is, and if Serena would still be living at home. So she switched directions and headed to Darien's instead.

She knocked on the door of his apartment, nervous, wondering if he would recognize her, how she should greet him, if this was even still his apartment. When she heard someone walking to the door she held her breath.

"Hello?" A very familiar voice answered the door. Rini almost cried in happiness when she saw Darien. "May I help you miss? You look familiar, do I know you…?"

She sighed, letting out all the breath she had been holding in. "Darien, it's me… Rini."

His face went white, and he choked out, "Rini? But why?"

"Please Darien, can I come in? I have some information from you, and I need to ask some questions myself."

Still white Darien nodded and Rini entered. Darien slowly closed the door and followed her in.

In another part of the city….

Tyrone wasn't as lucky as Rini. The spot he materialized in was much more populated. His trip through time was a little easier than Rini's, as it was not as spontaneous and he and Pluto had time to prepare themselves. His appearance caused a panic, and when people around noticed that he had passed out from the pain they called an ambulance. Tyrone was immediately rushed to the hospital.

He awoke with a start, not recognizing the room. Then it all came back to him. "Rini! I've got to find her." He jumped out of the bed, and found his clothes. He ran out of the hospital, the screams and hollers of the nurses following him out.

He ran, going nowhere in particular, looking for the familiar bubble gum pink hair. He wasn't really paying attention to where ha was going and turned round a corner. Bang! He and the other person both fell. He blinked in shock; the girl was tall with blond hair put up in two little balls. Recognizing the hairstyle he looked at the girls face. His eyes widened and he immediately stood up and was about to bow when he remembered where he was, and although this girl might become Queen Serenity she wasn't yet. To cover up for it he reached out a hand to her.

"Oh, I am so sorry, my name is Tyrone." He smiled

"No don't apologize." She smiled back at him, and took his hand. "It was probably my fault. I am such a klutz and I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." He helped her up and she dusted herself off. "My name is Serena. Where are you from?"

"Huh?"

"Well, I noticed you have an accent. Did I say something stupid again?"

"Oh, no. I… uh… I 'm from…" Tyrone has to recall his history lessons. "Canada… I'm from Canada."

"Really? That's so neat! I've never met anyone from Canada. What are you doing in Tokyo?

"Oh, just touring. Would you happen to know a good hotel? I haven't got a place to stay at the moment.

"Sure there is one just around the corner. Here I'll show you the way."

Tyrone walked off with Serena, listening to her babble about the city. He smiled to himself. Confused as to how she would turn into Neo Queen Serenity.

Back at Darien's.

Rini and Darien sat facing each other, her on his couch and him in a chair.

"Ok Rini, why are you back? What's going on in the future? Are you parents in danger?"

"No, I'm not quite sure what is going on. Puu just told me that I had to come back here. Something about new enemies that could control time. I remember she also said something about Serena being in danger." Rini cringed inside when she saw the look on Darien's face. "Oh, I'm sorry Darien, I shouldn't have said that."

He looks at her. "I should know this, now I am able to protect her better. It's been so long since out last battle, I hope we're all able to still transform."

At this Rini laughed. Darien looks at her oddly so she realizes she should explain. "I'm sorry, but you're forgetting about your future. Of course you can still transform! Is everyone still here?"

Darien looks confused for a moment then blushes. "Wow Rini, I just realized that you probably don't even know how long it's been in our time. Here it's only been a couple years since you left. Obviously it's been longer in your time." With this he smiles at her, astounded by how much she looks like Serena.

Rini blushes at his praise, then was more serious. "Does Serena still live at her parents? I could stay there again."

"Yes, Serena still lives there."

"Great, I don't plan on being here that long, so it should cause to many problems."

"Well, I think I am going with you to see Serena, I wouldn't want her to die from shock or anything."

Reeni and Darien take off for Serena's house. When they get there, Mrs. Tsukino tells them that Serena left a few hours ago for Darien's house. Then she looks oddly at Rini.

"Excuse me miss, but do I know you?" Rini and Darien give each other nervous looks, and then Reeni stepped forward.

"Auntie, don't you remember me? It's Rini, your niece…" Mrs. Tsukino looks up at her in complete shock.

"But you're younger then that…."

"No Auntie." Rini gets a very calm sound to her voice, and stares her in the eyes. "I've always been a little older then Serena, remember?" Mrs. Tsukino eyes are glazed over and it's as if she is in a trance.

"Of course! How could I forget my favorite niece Are you here it stay for awhile?"

"Yes, Auntie, is that ok with you?" Mrs. Tsukino snaps out of it, and is her usual self.

'Of course dear. You can have your old room." She reaches over to give Rini a hug. "It's great to have you back."

Rini smiled, feeling at home again. "Yes, it's great to be back. I think we're going to find Serena now. We must have left before she got to Darien's. I'll see you later." Rini and Darien take off to look for Serena. They start searching on the way to his house, as that's where her mom said she was going. They walked to Darien's house and half way back when they heard a very distinctive cry.

Rini and Darien both take off in the direction of the yell. They turn around the corner to see a blushing Serena apologizing to some lady for stepping on her foot. Neither of them sees the young man. Darien walks up to her and touches her arm.

"Serena what's wrong, was that you yelling?" She looks at Darien in shock; he was the last person she expected to see here. Finally she gets her voice back.

"Yeah, I stepped on that woman's foot, and she turned around and smacked me. I was distracted and didn't realize I had stepped on her. What are you doing here?" She looks beyond him for a moment and is again stunned. She stares at Rini for a minute, totally white. She manages to get out one whisper… "Rini…"

Darien and Rini just smile at her shock.

"This is why we are here. We were looking for you. Look who showed up at my doorstep this morning."

"Oh my, wow…"She took a minute to regain her senses, then flung herself at Rini. "Rini! You're back! Why, How?" She takes a step back to look at her, "But you're older then you should…" She stops and looks back, "Um… maybe you can tell me about it later."

Rini looked back at the person Serena had glanced at. Now it was her turn to be shocked. At the fun of surprising Serena she had missed the young man standing behind her. Now she got a good look at him and is in total shock to realize she knows him.

"Tyrone? What the hell are you doing here?" Once he knew there was no way out of it Tyrone knelt on one knee and looked up at her.

"Princess, forgive me, but when Serenity and Endymion, " with this he sneak a glance at Serena and Darien who are standing there confused, "found out what had happened they insisted that Pluto send me back here to help you."

"You mean they can't even trust me to come back here alone anymore? When they know the Sailor Soldiers are here, and will protect me?" Everyone can sense her temper riding and Tyrone immediately jumps up to comfort here.

"No, Rini, you know they only do this because they love you. Plus I've gotten more information on the enemy." Rini didn't look at all like she believed him, but she was willing to let it go.

"Fine then, I guess I can let you stay." She smiled, "Actually, I can't do anything about it, so I suppose I'm glad you're here. She reached to give him a hug, but was stopped by Serena.

"Wait a second, I'm confused." She turns to Tyrone. "You're from the future too?"

"Yes, my Queen…" here she interrupts him.

"Don't call me that, I'm not Queen yet!" he sweatdrops then smiles.

"Ok, sorry. Yes, I am from the future. I am Captain Tyrone Delamore. I command the Silver Millennium's ships. I am also Rini's best friend."

Darien watches the way he looked at Rini, and thinks to himself that Tyrone might be more to Rini than best friend, but if they haven't realized it yet, he's not going to say anything. Besides, he really didn't know anything about this Tyrone, even though it sounds like he trusts him in the future. Serena on the other hand, had no such reservations. If Rini trusts him, he must be worth trusting.

"I'm going to call a Sailor meeting. We haven't seen any signs of an enemy. If they are dangerous enough to get you sent back, don't you think we would have seen something of them?" Both Tyrone and Rini looked at her, then each other. Rini spoke up.

"You haven't seen anything yet? Pluto must have sent us here before anything happened. I agree, we must warn the rest of the Sailors. Can you get a hold of them?"

"Yeah, we still have our communicators. Give me a second." Serena gets out her compact and starts filling in the rest of the Sailors on what had happened that day. Rini and the guys just listen in. Tyrone is fascinated by the way the rest of the Sailors talk to Serena. He keeps forgetting that this is before she had proven herself as Queen. Soon Serena had contacted all of the others. She turned back to look at them.

"Ok guys we are meeting at Rei's temple in an hour." Rini looked a little surprised at the way Serena just took charge like that. Obviously a few things had changed since she left. Now she could see where the future Queen comes from.

"Good, perhaps we should go back to your house in the mean time Serena, Your mom already knows I'm back. She thinks I'm her niece." She turns to Tyrone. "Wait until you meet her mom, she's great. And what a cook!" They all take off for Serena's, with Rini and Serena talking about food the whole way.
