Chapter 2

When Serena got home that day, Hotaru and Amara were there waiting for her so they could get the Silver Crystal. The scouts had been in a battle last night and had needed the crystal to defeat the monster, so Hotaru and Haruka had said that, since Serena didn't used it anymore, they would go and get it.

"Serena we need to talk." Amara said, in a harsh tone. Serena only looked at her and said, "Sorry, but I don't have the time to listen to your babble. I think I made it clear that I don't want to see any of you ever again, and I mean that. Now leave me alone before I call the police and let them take care of this."

Jasmine and Selena looked at Amara with amused look on there faces.

"What do we have here?" Jasmine said, "A real les? Serena, I am beginning to understand more and more why you don't want these people as you friends anymore."

"Yeah first the three girls back at school, and now these two?" Selena giggled. Amara didn't find it amusing and she gave the two girls a hard, cold stare, and was just about to smack Jasmine when someone grabbed her hand from behind, in a crushing gripe.

"Ouch!" She exclaimed, and turned around to see four young men.

"You don't hit a lady, do you?" Peter asked, giving Amara an icy look, since he though she was a guy.

"Hi, Chris." Serena said.

"Hey girls." Peter and Michael said.

"Come one, let's go inside and get some lunch." Serena said. The three men nodded and Chris let go of Haruka's whist and heeding inside with the others. 

Hotaru sighed. She was the only one doubting that they had done the right thing, kicking Serena out of the team.  

"The nerve of those girls!" Serena yelled out as she entered the kitchen, "Make you self at home guys." 

"You mean the blond was a girl!?!" Peter asked shocked.

"Yes, she's a girl and her name is Amara Tenou." Serena replied as she took her shoes off.

"What did they do anyway?" Jasmine asked sitting down in the couch.

"It is a long story." Serena said, "But believe me if you don't want to be hurt then don't get involved with them."

"Oh." Michael said, "Well Serena if they give you any trouble or is harassing you, just tell."

"Thanks you guys." Serena said smiling, "I really appreciate it."

After nearly three hours of studying, Serena and her four friends where finished.

"Thank god we are done." exclaimed Jasmine, "I can't believe that Miss Haruna gave us all this work."

Peter gave a small chuckle, "Just be glad that it is over Jasmine."

Chris nodded, "Yes It could have been a lot worse."

Serena, Jasmine and Selena glared at him.

"Sorry Serena, but we've better get home or our mom will kill me and Chris." Jasmine said and Chris nodded.

"The same goes for me." Peter said. Selena nodded, "See you tomorrow Serena."

As the four people left the house, Serena's mom and Shingo entered, "Hey dear." Miss Tsukino said.

"Hey mom! What is for dinner?" Serena called.

Selena smiled, "You got a good appetite, huh Serena?"

Serena just nodded. As she helped her mother with the shopping bags, "See you guys tomorrow."

As Serena tugged down under the bed covers, she had a strange feeling that something was up but quickly brushed it of. No! I wont think of them and there stupid group!! She mentally yelled at her self, and went to sleep, dreaming about a forgotten place.

Dream

A young and beautiful 16 year old Princess Serenity was sitting in the Moon Palaces garden, looking at the sea of serenity, her silver collared hair in her normal buns and flowing freely in the warm breeze that blew softly trough the garden. She should have been at a diplomatic meeting with the king and prince of the sun. She hated that kind of official meeting, to her they were the most boring thing in the universe and she always escaped them. Luna would probably yell at her when she four her, but Serenity didn't care. She would rather sit here in the garden and enjoy the beautifulness of it all, drinking tea. But some times just setting her could get very boring too; Serenity didn't have many friends and was most of the time very sad and lonely. Only when the princess from the inner and outer planets came to visited she was cheerful.

She sighed as a couple of bird flew by. She picked up the red rose that her farther had given her this morning, before he had to go to earth for a meeting with the Terran kingdom.

A crunch alerted her to someone nearby and she spun around and froze.  The most handsome man she had ever seen stood there smiling at her. Serenity was blushed bright red as she looked at him.

"Hello."

Her eyes widened at him and her lips made a little o.  The young man was entranced; she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his whole life, and being the prince of the sun, he had seen a lot of girls.

Serenity couldn't believe it.  This man was talking to her.  Men never talked to her.  She tried to wrap her mind around the concept.  I can not let him know who I am! The thought delighted her.  She could get to know someone without the issue of her royalty getting in the way.

"So," he began sitting down on a chair next to her, "come here often?"

~

Serenity looked up at the sky and gasped.  She hadn't realized how late it was. She had been talking and laughing with the young man for hours.  She stood up abruptly and turned to go, but the man grabbed her hand.

"Wait!  Tell me you name, so that I may see you again. I am Chris.  

Serenity sighed.  Now, everything would change.  She had really enjoyed talking to him like two normal people.  Once he found out she was royalty, it would never happen again. She knew that she would never see him again.

Serenity braced herself, "My name is Serenity."

Chris eyes got wide with recognition.  Then, he smiled, "I should have known someone as beautiful and charming as you was a princess."

Serenity blushed bright red ad his words.

"So, when can I see you again?"

Serenity looked, "You still want to see me?" she asked shock clearly written all over her face.

Chris smiled brightly, "Of course, I have discovered a beautiful, charming woman. I'm not about to let you go."

Serenity felt as though her heart would burst with joy.  She launched herself at

Chris and felt his arms close about her.  She looked up at him and noticed him staring intently at her.  Then, slowly, his head moved toward hers.

That night, in the arms of the first person to actually treat her like a normal person, Serenity, high Princess of the Moon, received her first kiss.

Dream ends

~

The next morning, Serena woke up with a funny feeling in her heart. It was unlike any feeling she had had when she and Darien had been together. The memories, from the dream, had mad her even more different person. She got up and went to the bath room, getting ready for school.

Even in school she was even more cheerful the normal and the scouts were very puzzled to how she had changed so much! Not to mention this fast and dramatically.

During launch, Serena, Chris, Jasmine, Selena, Peter, Michael, and Jason meet in the garden for lunch.

"Hi guys," Jason said, walking up to her and the others, "let's eat!"

"Good because I am starving!" Serena exclaimed. The other laughed at this.

"You're always hungry Serena." Chris said. Serena just glared at him, but said nothing.

While Serena and her friends where sitting in the park eating, the scouts and Darien held a little meeting in the nearby park that the school owned.

"I can't believe these new youma's." Amy said.

"Me either." Mina said, while looking the direction Serena and her friends were sitting, eating their lunch.

"They are so much stronger then the first once that the Dark Moon used," Ami said, "and I can't understand why my computer isn't working properly."

Everyone looked at Ami, not sure what to say or do. Everything had been very different since they had rejected Serena from the team and no one knew why.

'Onboard Rubeus space ship'

"This plane of yours, have better not fail, Rubeus." Wiseman said.

"It won't, I promise." Rubeus replied.

"Good. I am getting a little tired of hearing excuses for you lack of progress."

"I know that I haven't been the most successful commander of the Black Moon, but these scouts have been quite a resistance and making the scouts reject their leader was a good plane. They are in disarray and will be easy to defeat in one final blow." Rubeus said.

"Make the death of those brats happen, Rubeus. They will never again stand in our way!!" Wiseman laughed evilly.

Rubeus had a smirk on his face, "As you wish, my lord." Rubeus said as he and the four sisters disappeared into a mirror, eager to defeat the scouts once and for all.
