"I love you so much." She said. Tracing his chest muscles. He stood uncomfortably.
"I have to tell you Serena. It's over." He turned away.
"What do you mean? I thought we were happy?" She broke out in tears. "Okay. Fine." She ran from his apartment. He didn't look back.

Serena sighed. That was years ago. Three to be exact. She was going through all her stuff before going to college. She put the picture of herself and Darien in the box of items to throw away. She had many boyfriends since then, but now she didn't have one. She'd forgotten Darien and why shouldn't she?
A horn honked and she hurried to the door. "Hey guys! Let me grab my purse!" All the scouts were going to Tokyo U. No one could believe it when Serena entered on her first try. Ami was becoming a doctor. Lita was becoming a professional cook. (Serena told her she didn't have to go to college for that.) Mina to the surprise of everyone was becoming a Veterinarian even though she could become an actress. Raye after much prodding was going to leave the temple for college. She was going to become a Real Estate Agent. (She kept telling everyone she was going to go back to the temple though) And Serena was going to help people. How? She was going to be a doctor with Ami. They were going to open a place together.
Serena loaded in the car with everyone. They were going shopping for stuff for college. They had all lucked out because they found an apartment big enough for them to share with a bill split five ways.
"So guys only a week left! Can you believe we're going to Tokyo U?!" Serena said.
Raye turned around in the front seat. "I can't believe you got me to even go. And how, may I ask, did you get in Serena?"
"I'm smarter than I look! This is going to be so great! Except for the part about living with Raye for four years. Then it's just me and Ami for three more years."
Mina chimed in, "And me! Don't forget me!"
"Serena are you sure you can handle being a doctor?" Lita asked.
"Of course! You guys think I'm stupid, but I'm not."
Their had been no villains for a year. Serena and the others had almost forgotten they were Sailor Scouts. The outer senshi had left a long time ago and the stars went back to their home planet. All that was left were the original five.
They shopped until they dropped and got a computer to share, tons of new clothes, and some furniture. A week passed and they moved in to their new apartment. Serena plopped her stuff on her bed. "This is great!" The apartment had three beds and two baths, a kitchen, and living room. It would cost a lot for a single person, but not split five ways. Lita and Mina had one bedroom, Raye and Serena in another. Ami had her own bedroom, because she liked to have a quiet place to study.
"I can't believe we lucked out like this," Mina said. "Life is too good."
"Yeah." They all agreed.
Another week passed and college life was... part havoc, part great. Everynight they would come home and study. Lita would cook supper to study, (Always rated A+.) while Raye quizzed her on other subjects. Ami and Serena would hole up in a bedroom and study until Serena smelled supper. Mina would study with them sometimes because their subjects were closely related. They would have dinner together and talk about what was going on. After dinner Raye would get quizzed by Lita. When they finally would get done studying they would watch a movie and go to bed.
After a couple of weeks of the first semester had gone by Serena was getting stir-crazy. She slammed her books down while they were studying. "No one is studying tonight!" She ran into the kitchen. "Lita don't start cooking! We're going to a party!"
"What?" Ami said. "No way. Absolutely not."
"Don't you get it Ami? We are already a chapter ahead! Mina's got her studying done. We all know Lita can cook, and Raye is ahead too! I'm sick of just studying! Let's just have one night of fun! I've got this really awesome outfit I want to wear!"
"I agree with Serena." Mina said.
"I'm all for it," Raye agreed.
"Me too!" Lita chimed in. They all looked at Ami.
"Oh all right! Let's go!" They rushed around and got dressed. Serena had a white mini skirt with a light pink sleeveless top. She wore her hair down and Mina put glitter in it.
Mina had a strapless gold dress that was cut so that one side was longer than the other. She put he hair up in a braided bun and wore a crescent moon necklace.
Raye wore a scarlet dress that was spaghetti straps. It was a very short dress that Serena thought was a little on the slutty side. She kept her hair down and used a curling iron on the ends.
Lita wore a green dress with one sleeve and was cut short. She put on a gold chain belt that hung around her hips. She took her hair out of a ponytail and wore it down on Serena's request.
And modest Ami wore a light blue dress with spaghetti straps. It didn't reach her knees and all the girls were surprised. The light blue eye shadow around her eyes made her seem mystical.
So they headed for the nightclub that was only for Tokyo U students. They'd heard about it's grand opening and it was the reason Serena had thought to go out. The bouncer let them in immediately and the whole club was blaring with music. Lasers and strobe lights were going all around them and provided the only light. Immediately the pulse of the music entered the scouts veins and they entered the dance floor.
The music revolved around them and moved their bodies. One by one they picked up a guy to dance with. Even shy Ami. It didn't seem like they ever stopped. Serena finally got tired and went to get a drink. No one else did. They were to busy with the guys.
She sat down. "Can I have a coke, please?" She wasn't old enough to drink and wasn't about to start. The coke came sliding her way and she took a long gulp. A guy walked up from behind her and sat down. He asked for a beer.
At exactly the same moment they looked at each other. A look of pure horror crossed their faces. "Darien?! What the hell?"
"Serena? That was you out there?! How did you get into Tokyo U?"
"I am becoming a doctor for your information. Ami and I are going to open our own office. Yes, that was me out there. Can't call me Meatball Head now can you?"
"No. No way." He stuttered. The junior high Serena was long gone. Replaced by a woman. A beautiful one at that.
She finished off her coke. "If you will excuse me I have better things to do than talk to you." She walked back on to the dance floor and searched for a guy. She had forgotten that Darien had tranferred from the American school to Tokyo U. He was a senior this year. It was really quite earth shaking to find him. She had forgotten how beautiful he was. A guy came from behind her and put his hands on her hips. The music kept going and she didn't care to look back at who it was.
He talked to her. "I need to talk to you Serena."
She pulled away. "I don't think we need to Darien."
"Oh yes we do. There is a lot we never talked about after..."
"You stomped my heart into a million peices and left me to put it back together."
"Serena, stop twisting this into a soap opera. Let's just go outside and talk, please?"
"Fine." The scouts saw Serena leave with a guy.
"Do you think we should watch her?" Mina said.
"Naw. She's eighteen. She knows what she's getting herself into." Lita said.
Raye creased her forehead. "Did that guy look familliar?"
Serena sat down on a bench, but Darien remained standing. "Serena we didn't talk about destiny."
"What 'destiny'?" she said. "We weren't destined to be together. You made that clear. I know Rini is supposed to be our daughter, but she didn't disappear did she? So sometime in the future I probably with find a guy that somewhat looks like you, but with a better personality."
"I don't think so." He said with a hint of hurt in his voice.
"Darien it was over three years ago. It took me awhile, but I got over it. I've dated. You have too. So why aren't you over it yet?"
"I thought I was until I saw..."
She interupted again. "You saw me. Not the fourteen year old me. It was a big difference wasn't it?"
"That's not it!"
"Oh come on," she put on a seductive voice and rubbed up close to him. "You know you want me."
He stuttered for words and she came close to his lips. He got ready for a kiss. He was yearning for it. His lips tingled ready for that familliar touch and he closed his eyes.
She pulled back and sat back down on the bench. He sat there waiting. She laughed out loud. "I told you!" He opened his eyes. He'd fallen face first in a trap. "The only reason you care is that I look like this."
"Serena that's not why! I mean doesn't it seem a little weird that I transfer to Tokyo U the year you come here? Does destiny ring a bell?"
"No Darien it doesn't." She stood up. "Just leave it in the past because I'm never going there again." She went back into the club. The scouts pounced on her at once.
"Are you okay?" Lita asked.
"Yeah."
"Who was that guy?" Raye asked.
"That was Darien Shields." They all grew wide-eyed.
"That sleaze bag?!"
"Yes. It seems since I've grown up he wants to patch things up."
"What a freakin jerk." They all agreed.
"Serena you wanna go back to the apartment?"
"Yeah."
