Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon.

Nanny Moon

Serena stared at Rini in shock. 'She found out! Deny it deny it!' She screamed to herself.
"I-I have no idea what your talking about." Serena lied.
"Nice try Nanny Moon." Rini laughed.
"But how'd you find out?" Serena asked.
"I erased your hair, and added my mothers- well your old- hairstyle, and you were exactly the same." Rini said, sitting down on Serena's bed.
"I've always wanted to know what my mother was like, and now I know." Rini said, laying her picture down.
"You have to promise not to tell Mamo-- I mean, your dad. I've dissappointed him once, I don't want to do it again." Serena said, looking Rini straight in the eye.
"I don't like keeping secrets from Dad, but if I have to, I will." Rini agreed.
"Thank you, and you've got to be careful to not call me Mom, Nanny Moon, okay?" Serena continued. Rini nodded in reply.
"Now go to sleep, sweet heart. Your very smart, you know that?" Serena complemented.
"Thanks, Mom." Rini replied, hugging Serena.
They each went back to bed.

The next morning, Serena and Rini were very silent. Darien suspected something was wrong, but said nothing.
"We're going to see a movie, see you later Darien." Serena said, getting up.
"Bye Dad, see you later!" Rini called back, as they both grabbed their coats.
"Bye." Darien said, but they were already gone.

"We're going to go buy your Dad a birthday present, okay?" Serena said, as soon as they were out of earshot.
"Kay, mom."

Many hours later

Serena and Rini walked in, they flicked on the light, and Darien was standing there, eyes glaring at them.
"Where have you two been? I've been worried sick! I thought you had been kidnapped!" Darien screamed.
"Mr. Shields..." Serena tried to apologize.
"Don't Mr. Shields me! Go to bed Rini!" Darien shouted, pointing in Rini's bedroom's direction. Serena and Rini began to walk to their bedrooms.
"You stay, I'd like to have a talk with you Miss Moon." Darien said, anger evident in his voice.
"Yes sir..." Serena whimpered, she sat down at the messy kitchen table, and awaited Darien's anger.
"You've been doing this for too long Serena, and I have no choice but to..." Darien thought of how un-cheerfull the house would be without her, but decided he was only doing the best for Rini.
"To fire you, you have till tommorrow." Darien said, lowering his head. Serena sighed.
"Alright Mr. Shields, its been a pleasure working with you and your daughter." She got up, and went to her room.
Darien mentally kicked himself, and sat down in anguish.

The Next Morning

Rini walked out of her bedroom, wiping the sleepyness from her eyes with her fists. "G'morning Daddy... Where's Nanny Moon? Did she sleep in again?" Rini asked, her innocent eyes looking around for her mother.
"No, Rini, I had to fire her." Darien said, calmly looking through a newspaper.
"NOOOO! YOU CAN'T!" Rini shouted as soon as his words computed through her mind.
"Rini, she was being disrespectfull, she had what was coming to her." Darien said, comprimising his, now that he realized it, terrible act.
"We were buying you a birthday present!" Rini shouted.
Darien winced, they were-- buying him a present? "Still. She's been doing this for years." Darien persuaded himself.
"Yeah, to get you Christmas presents, or that suit you really wanted?" Rini continued.
"RINI!" Darien shouted.
"How can you fire your own wife?" Rini asked, shaking her head in dissapointment. Darien's head shot up.
"What?" He asked.
"Thats right, Serena is Mom."

"Flight 752 now bording." Serena looked at her ticket, this was it, she'd blown it with her family, twice. She was one of the lucky few to have that chance, and she blew it.
"I never deserved them, they deserve someone better." Serena sighed to herself, picking up her suitcases.

Rini ran into her room, where a picture that she had drawn of her mother lay. She picked it up and erased her hair style, then changed it to Serena's. Darien's eyes went wide. She wasn't lying! "Come on! We've got to hurry!" At that, they raced to the airport, hoping to catch up with Serena, before she left them again, forever...

Serena took one glance back at the life she'd learned to love. She'd be going back to Tokyo now, maybe she'd see some old friends. She shook her head and clutched her ticket. Then she moved forward to the bording station.

Rini and Darien raced in the doors, and he went to the paying booth. "Has Serena Moon bought a ticket?" Darien asked, still out of breath.
"Yes, but her flights leaving in minutes." The lady informed him.
"How much for two tickets?" He asked.
"300, but sir, I doubt you'll..." Darien through down the money before the lady could continue, she printed out the ticket and handed them to him.
"God be with you sir." The woman said, smiling.
Darien picked Rini up and dashed across the carpeted airline floors, he had to make it, he just had too!
He saw the loading booth, and handed the man there the tickets. "You almost missed it, but you've got to hurry!" He said, he watched the father and daughter dash down the loading hall, and in to the plane.
The stewardesses closed the doors behind them, and they began trying to find Serena.
"Mom!" Rini screamed.
"Usako!"
But no one stood up. They began to look in the first class, they spotted her. She had earphones on, and wasn't listening to the troubles of life. She sighed, innerly wishing that Darien and Rini were here.
"USAKO!" Darien screamed. Serena's eyes went wide, and turned around. There stood her daughter and husband.
"Mr, Mr. Shields, what are you doing here?" Serena asked, still not noticing that Darien new who she was.
She stood up, and smiled at Rini. She looked up into Darien's eyes, and before she knew what was happening, Darien's lips were covering her's in a passionate kiss.
"I've wanted to do that for so long Usa..." Darien said, moving away from the kiss.
"Me too Mamo-Chan."
Rini smiled, they were one big happy family again...

Still not the end, the aftermath is the next chapter! I hope you enjoyed!
