Their party idea was cut short and life went back to normal. Until a
day in the September when some of the seniors came in to help the freshmen.
Serena's professor boomed loudly, "I've already paired each of you with a Senior. Mizuno and Trelang," he continued on until he got to Serena's name, the last one on the list. "And Tsukino with Shields."
Serena was sure somewhere someone hated her. Her stomach took a humougonous dive. Darien smiled up at her like he wasn't sure how it had happened either. They met in the back of the lab each pair at a table. Ami made sure she was near Serena.
"Darien I don't know how you set this up, but you did."
"I did not set this up."
"Oh and I suppose this is destiny!" She struggled to keep her voice down. She started asking a set up patient about their symptoms.
"I don't know maybe." He said. "Make sure you..."
"Darien I know what I'm doing, okay?! Ami and I study everynight. We're a chapter ahead."
"Oh. Serena I want to start over. I only broke up with you in the first place because..."
She interupted him, "Of that stupid dream. Seriously! You stopped having that dream years ago. Why not patch it up then?!" She kept asking the patient questions. The patient looked like she was watching a soap opera.
"I don't know, Serena! I know we're supposed to be together!"
"No we're not. You only love me because I'm eighteen and I look like I do. If I would get in a car crash or something and get ugly scars of some sort things would be different."
"That's not true! I know you to well Serena! You're a wonderful, beautiful, smart girl."
"You don't think I'm smart! None of you do! You didn't think I could get into Tokyo U and here I am. Well I've got news for you Darien Shields, you have no idea who I am!"
"Serena just list-"
Class ended and Serena collected her bag. "Darien newsflash." She struggled to hold back tears, but they won the battle. "We can never go back to the way we were. Never."
Serena stormed out of class crying. Ami came up from behind Darien. "You sleazebag. Serena is different. Just leave her alone and stop hurting her!" She ran after Serena. The patient they had been working with glared at Darien.
"What?!" He said.
"Pig." The patient got up and left. Darien rolled his eyes. All of Tokyo thought he was a jerk.
Ami caught up with Serena who had finally stopped her tears. She held her head up high and stared straight into the crowd. When Serena noticed Ami panting beside her she said, "I hate him. I hated him the day he broke up with me and now I hate him even more. If he bothers me one more time I'm going to go Eternal Sailor Moon on his butt." The words brought a familliar silence on both of them.
"Serena? Why haven't there been any enemies? Is it finally over? Do you think we are close to Crystal Tokyo?"
"I don't know Ami. I really don't think I'm ready to become Neo Queen Serenity. Not alone."
"About that Serena... Uh... Don't you kind of think that you'll have to marry someone who knows about you being... well heir to the universe?"
Serena stopped. "Are you saying you think Darien and I should get together?"
"Umm.... Maybe."
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! THAT JERK IS NOT COMING ANYWHERE NEAR ME!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY THINK THAT!"
Raye and Lita met them in the middle of the sidewalk. "Well Serena I see you still have the ability to blow the decibel scale to bits."
"Screw you Raye!" Serena said.
"Well thanks." Raye said. "I'd rather not, but I do agree with Ami. Just who do you think you are going to marry? No normal guy can be pulled into this."
"That's right. You aren't exactly a normal girl. He needs to be kind, smart, loving, and aware of the situation."
"The only thing you said that described Darien was that he's aware of the situation." Serena said.
"Well Serena as your guardians and royal court we have to watch after you. So tonight we are going to talk about it together."
"Who are you? Luna?!" Serena said. She didn't have anymore classes that day so she stormed off to the park.
"Well I think we have ticked off the Queen of the Universe." Raye said jokingly.
"That's the sad part Raye." Lita said. "She is the Queen of the Universe."
Serena didn't get home until late that night, but all the scouts were waiting for her. "Do you guys ever quit?" She tried to go to her bedroom, but Lita blocked the hall. "Let me through!"
"No. Sit down and we'll negotiate dating." Lita said. Serena rolled her eyes, but sat down on the couch. The scouts all glared at her.
"This is what's going on Serena. We are not going to make you marry anyone."
Serena narrowed her eyes. "What's the catch?"
"We get to decide who you date." Serena opened her mouth to argue, but they stopped her. "And you are going to go on one, and only one, date with Darien."
"No way! Absolutely not!"
"Yes that's how it goes! You are going on a date with Darien tomorrow at six! And then you can totally ignore him! Period!"
"You guys you all know he's a total jerk! Why are you making me go out with him?" Serena said.
Raye sighed. "We all know he's a jerk, but he's the only one who knows about your situation."
"Quit calling it a 'situation'. The only difference between me and any other girl on the street is that I will rule the world one day."
"Exactly! No one will be able to handle it until that time! And Darien knows what's going on and we know you get married to him! Fate. It's fate."
"We've defied fate. It's over."
Lita begged her, "Just please try to get along with him for like three hours. That's all we ask."
"Fine."
