Chapter 3:

Two weeks after the battle with Queen Barrel

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon

AN: Hey! Sorry I didn't respond to any reviews last time… but I had written the chapter and all before I actually read the reviews. So let me answer a question =) First, It is going to be Darien/Serena so dun worry one bit! I don't think I'll make the baby evil either but you never know right? Also, thanks for the people who gave me all the great advice and I'll try my best to not rush the story and develop the characters more. Thank you so much for caring to tell me this. Love ya!

PS- I'm SO sorry this took long to post. I had it written out and everything, but It seems like I forgot to post it… Don't ask how that happened.

Serena jumped out of her bed knocking Luna off and ran towards the bathroom holding a hand over her mouth. Luna heard Serena throwing up and took a peak inside the bathroom. Serena was sitting on her legs leaning against the toilet as if awaiting to throw up again. Her eyes were glassy and sad. She sighed and closed her eyes for moment. She had a feeling something was wrong but she didn't know why. Maybe she was being paranoid. 'I am being paranoid.. It's probably just a stomach virus' she thought to herself. She shook her head and gave a weak laugh.

Luna walked towards Serena and purred softly. Serena smiled and petted her cat. She then got up and went to go get ready for school.

"I Think I'm catching a bug" Serena told the cat while putting her hair up in two pigtails with buns. She always talked to her cat for some reason. Somehow, Serena knew the fury little thing was listening, and understanding. "I have an appointment with the doctor on Saturday". Putting on her shoes she walked down stairs where her mother yelled at her.

"SERENA YOU'RE LATE FOR SCHOOL!". Serena flinched.

"Calm down mom!" Serena exclaimed proud that she had woken up on time for once. Her mother grabbed her arm and yanked her outside.

"The power went out last night! The clocks are an hour behind!"

Serena yelped and started running "I'm going to be late! I'm going to get detention again!!" She ran trying not to trip over her own feet but before she could stop she ran into a hard, tall, male body.

Serena gasped trying to pick up the books she dropped and stumbling to her feet. She looked up and saw the face of the man she had bumped into.

"Darien! You big jerk! Watch where you're going!" Serena hit him and Darien just laughed. As soon as she hit him, a flash of a dark figure pushing her to the floor raced through her mind. She gasped and blinked the thoughts away.

"You're such a klutz Serena" He walked away slowly as Serena looked at him angrily. Where did that flash come from? No time to worry about that now she thought. Then she realized she was just standing in the sidewalk. Oh man! Now she was going to be really late.

Serena was, in fact, late again. Late… again. Ms Haruna, her teacher, made her do the stupidest thing. She was standing outside with a bucket of water on her head. Sometimes Serena thought the teacher hated her. I mean, She was always yelling at her and giving her detentions. Serena rolled her eyes and shifted a bit thinking of what she would do today. The bucket on her head threatened to fall but she managed to keep it from falling. A blue haired girl came out of one of the classrooms and gave Serena an odd look.

"My teacher made me… I wish she would be nicer to me she's so-"

"Amy…" Ms Haruna came out of the classroom and told the blue haired girl not to get involved with Serena. She was a bad influence. There… She really doesn't like me Serena thought. She so rude also, how could she say I'm a bad influence? Serena whimpered to her self but decided she wouldn't let this awful teacher of hers get to her.

Hmph. Serena tilted her head slightly and the bucket came tumbling down. The water splashed right on Ms. Haruna. Amy gasped looking terrified while Serena tried her best not to laugh.

"I'm… so sorry Mi..ss…" She giggled a bit but quickly stopped when she saw the fire in her eyes. "Heh…". The bell rung at this moment and Serena was quick to smile and start walking off slowly.

"Sorry I can't stay but I have to go to lunch" She waved and smiled nervously towards the screaming teacher. Then, she turned and started running outside to meet with her friend best friend Molly.

"Serena" She heard a voice call her name. It was Molly. "Let's go find a spot… Oh look under that tree" She pointed to a nearby tree and the two girls headed towards it.

Serena grabbed her school bag and opened it. "Serena…" Molly started and she took a bite of her sandwich, "I heard there was this really cute new guy".

Serena was digging through her bag hysterically now, "I left my lunch! I'm really hungry too!" She whined as she sniffled and looked helplessly at her friend.

Molly smile awkwardly and shook head, "Oh no, Serena! I only have lunch for one today!".

Serena stood up a bit angry and clenched her fist, "Fine!… I'll go find someone who will share!" She started walking away and left Molly sitting with her head down.

Molly sighed and looked at Serena walking away, "The things I do for my friends" She stood up and tried to catch up with her.

Serena walked, with her nose in the air, and a pout on her lips.

"Oh my god!" Molly screamed over the phone, "He's so cute! And he's in love with you Serena!".

Serena smiled. They were talking about the new student that had arrived. That sandy haired hunk named Allen had said Serena was beautiful. Right after Serena was running after Molly, they ran into him. He was being followed by a crowd of flirty and bouncy girls.

When Serena's blue eyes met with his gaze she felt weak in the knees. Her cheeks tinted with a slightly pink coat. That's when he told her she was beautiful. Molly, her best friend was thrilled for her.

After about a second or two of gossiping about how they would get married someday, almost out of nowhere, Serena heard Molly screaming and her phone dropping to the ground. "Hello? Hello? Molly pick up! are you there!?" Serena hung up the phone in a panic and put on her coat. She ran down stairs and told her mom she was going to Molly's. It was pretty late but she ran out before her mom could disapprove.

She ran to her best friends house as fast as she could. What had happened? Maybe someone broke into her house. If that was the case then why was she running to danger? It was almost instinct, like she couldn't help but to run over there and help.

Serena banged on Molly's door repeatedly and did not stop until it was answered by Molly's mother.

"Serena?" She asked amazed, "What's wrong what are you doing here?"

Not bothering to answer she asked hurriedly "Where's Molly? Is she ok?.

Molly's mother nodded her head and asked Serena to come in.

Walking up the stairs she said calmly, "She is right here in her roo--" Not finishing her sentence she shrieked horrified at the figure before her. Serena staired wide eyes at the monster who was holding Molly with one hand on her back and the other about to do something to her…face? Serena had no idea what was going but there was little time to think for the fainted body of Molly's mother was pushing her down. She cached her as she fell her and laid her on the floor.

Pulling her self up, her trembling knee's threatening to keep her down, she thought 'This has to be a dream…yeah… that's it this is a dream' Thinking it was a dream Serena felt brave and looked at the monster.

"Leave my friend alone before I pulverize you, creep!" Serena pointed at the monster and found herself surprised that she had said that. Luna, who had just come in saw all this and ran towards Serena. She couldn't beat the monster without being a scout. Luna knew this monster was from the negaverse. She had to bring Sailor Moon back. Fighting with her thoughts Luna finally remembered that Serena was in danger.

"Serena! Run!" Luna cried only to have Serena look at her oddly.

"You can talk!" Serena studied Luna's face, "This is dream!" Serena looked at the monster. "This is MY dream you freak! And Your dust…" She was about to kick the monster when Luna bit her.

"Hey! LUNA! Bad kitty!" Serena scolded her cat when a thought hit her… that hurt. This wasn't a dream after all. In panic and fear Serena ran outside screaming. She went through the front door and into a nearby alley.

"He…or it wont find me in here" Serena breathed heavily, a small trickle of sweat rolling down her forehead.

Luna ran after Serena in hope that she could change her back to Sailor Moon.

"Serena! Look at me!" Serena looked at the cat subconsciously; and with a pain in her heart, Luna's crescent moon began to shine upon Serena's forehead.

'I'm sorry I have to do this to you Serena' Luna thought quietly as a stream of memories flooded Serena's mind.

All the Scouts and battles she had fought. She was overwhelmed by the memories of her past present...and.. Oh so much more. But what was this? There was one memory that disturbed Serena deeply.

A picture of a man pushing her down and…and…

"NO! Please NO!" Serena screamed and stood up quickly. She looked at Luna who had expected an angry reaction, but certainly not something like this.

On the next Chapter- Serena walked slowly into the doctors office and sat down on the chair. The doctor looked sympathetically down at her, took her hand and sat down. Serena looked at the doctor confused. The doctor parted her lips about to tell Serena what was wrong with her, and Serena was very unprepared for what she was about to hear…
