"Hey its me Julie... I know I know I told you all out there that we would get this out soon. But it took longer than I thought for this chapter. With school and everything it took longer." sweat falls down Julie's face.
"Yeah maybe if those teacher wouldn't have given these homework papers and test we would have gotten this out soon. But I guess it's not all their fault, right Julie." Nerissa says looking at me like she is about to kill.
"You just got done doing homework... didn't you." Julie looks at her with a smile.
"YES!! TOO MUCH... CAN'T DO ANYMORE. NEED BREAK!" Nerissa yells at me just right in my ear.
" Okay, okay... no more I am doing deaf. I am right next to you. Plus I think these people just want to read the story... so here you all go. Since summer is coming apron us the next chapter will be out; the longest 2 or 3 months and shortest 1 month to 2 weeks." Julie says sweating at looking at the next chapter.
"Enjoy" Nerissa says smiling.

Chapter 2

The Midnight Dream

Meanwhile Queen Serenity was lying in her room thinking of the night's events. Serena had danced with the Prince and Serenity was thrilled. Serenity had known that the Prince would be the only one who fulfilled the prophecy foretold at Serena's birth. Serena's father had had the power to see the possible future in being a descendant of Cronus the father of time. He foretold that Serena would find her true love on her 1st visit to Earth but in this love would be peril. Serena would face a decision that would either kill her or her mother.

Serenity knew that she would make sure Serena would survive and live to love. Serenity only had Serena and if she died she would live in Serena's heart and finally after so many years be joined again with her own true love. After all these thoughts ran through her head she drifted off into dreamless sleep.

All Serena wanted was to be rid of all these thoughts that crowded her brain. She put on her white breeches and her white overcoat that brushed the ground that buttoned from her chest to the end of her ribcage and showed her ivory, flat, and slightly built stomach. She went to the balcony that over looked the gardens. She jumped from the balcony to the walkway in the gardens. She decided that a walk through the rose gardens would clear her head enough to possibly get some sleep.

As Serena walked through the rose garden she felt eyes on her. She didn't know why but she wanted those eyes to be the midnight blue eyes that belonged to her mysterious stranger that had spun her world upside down.

***Earlier in the gardens: A dark mysterious stranger came from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist. Dazed, not to mention shocked she looked into dark blue eyes that had so much emotion. She could almost see his soul though the clear midnight blue eyes. Before she had time to even ask his name his lips found their way to hers but only for a brief moment before Serena pushed away and ran out of sight.***

She hadn't wanted to run but she didn't know how to react. She has so many feelings running through her head.

He just couldn't sleep. The lovely, blonde haired maiden he'd danced with was completely the only thing on his mind. Those perfectly shaped light blue eyes of the dancer matched the ones of the girl in the garden earlier. He didn't know why he had tried to kiss the girl but he was drawn to her light pink lips. The blonde he had danced with all night had been the princess of the moon. He'd know because of the crescent moon insignia on her forehead.

As he returned out of his dream like state he noticed movement in the gardens below his room. He looked out and saw the most beautiful maiden staring sadly at the moon. He could not stand seeing his object of affection so sad. He jumped down into the gardens and slowing walked to meet this girl or maiden that held his thoughts all day!

Serena knew someone was watching her but she thought it was probably just someone else who couldn't sleep. She closed her eyes to breathe in some of the fresh night air. All of a sudden she felt the strong arms of before around her waist. She hears a whisper saying, "Where has my goddess been hiding all day?" Serena open her eyes to his, while she put a finger to his heart and replied "Only here." He took a look at her bath in silver moonlight. He saw the moon insignia on her forehead and realized his thoughts at the dance were correct. His moonlight maiden and his blonde diosa were one and the same.

Serena couldn't put her finger on it but this midnight lord was like her prince she's danced with. She closed her eyes and focused her power to look into Darien's mind but instead she met a shield like her own to keep Mina from reading her thoughts. Somehow this human was blocking her power.

Darien knew how this maiden was trying her mind games but he also knew he had some of these powers himself. He wanted her so much but he couldn't force himself to take her. If she'd been a normal girl she would have come, gone, and been another ghost in his harem. She held him in ways not one else could and he was completely lost. Before he knew he was going to kissed her. *She looks so innocent* Darien thought and sent her an image unintentionally through her shields.

In a large white marble room lit with nothing but candlelight and the silver moon. Rose petals danced on invisible winds and on the wall were two shadows. It was herself and this man before her, in the throes of lovemaking. In his eyes she saw the pure burning passion and lust for her as well as a little fear. His hands were all over her white skin, making her moan with pleasure. Their bodies became joined to complete themselves each half of the other. He raised himself above her to make her absolutely his and looked into her eyes, where desire had laid hidden, now blazing with passion.

It wasn't fair Serena thought. The man of earth weren't supposed to have powers like this. Before she knew what was happening his lips were on hers. At first they were soft butterfly kisses but went into a hard passionate kiss.

Darien didn't know why he hadn't taken her yet but there was something stopping him and making him take everything very slow. He wanted her more than life itself and he wanted her to feel all the emotions running through his body like liquid fire. He went crazy at the soft smell of roses that she seemed to possess and her taste was sweeter than the honey of bees. He moved his hands all over begging for more than she was giving. Even with her coat and other clothing their bodies fit perfectly and he wondered if he would ever find out if their bodies fit inside and out.

Serena was swept up by a feeling she didn't know but craved and Darien knew she was his. He pulled her closer to him and kissed her even more passionately. Serena felt how strong his muscles were on her. His hard muscular chest felt warm and like silk under her fingers. She could feel his hands exploring all over her like an uncharted map. She knew she had to stop before something happened that would ruin her.

Darien stated to kiss Serena's neck and all reason fled her mind. Darien kissed a trail from her neck to her sweet full lips while Serena's arms would around his neck and her hands found their way into his raven dark hair pushing him to continue his onslaught of her mouth. Lust and passion kept the going as love smiled on them.

At that moment Darien and Serena became one...one mind, one soul that was joining together at last. Darien thought that no one could ever love or want him as much as she did at that moment. It was so pure not like the mistresses and women who threw themselves at him. He would make them think they had a chance to win his heart of ice. She brought fire to that heart and melted the ice to bring love to it. He was under her siren song of love.

Outside this kiss though was a spectacle all it's own. Slowly Serena took a glow of silver light around her while Darien had gold. The lights mingled and tangled around each other reaching up toward the moon. This light filled the gardens and King Charles was the first to awaken. He noticed the light everywhere but dawn was not to come for four more hours. Queen Serenity felt a surge of feeling that awoke her. Her daughter's connection to her was so strong; the person connected felt anything felt by the other. Generals and Scouts alike awoke and ran fearing the worst.

Darien moves his hands under Serena's coat to pull her in more closely. Reason pours into Serena's head and she stops the kiss reluctantly and sees her silver glow and is golden glow. Darien tries to get back the pure innocence of the moment that had passed but as soon as the kiss had ended he looked at his maiden basked in silver light. But the two didn't notice the sailor scout in the bushes running to kill. Darien didn't know what hit him but he felt the pain in his lip. Blood flowed from his bottom lip and the eyes he looked into now held pure anger.

Haruka didn't care if this guy was King of the whole universe; he'd crossed the bounds and took advantage of Serena. These thoughts angered her so much she continued to beat the shit out of the prince of earth. Serena was just as confused as Darien was when a fist came out of the night into Darien's face. Serena looks at the handler of the fist and sees Sailor Uranus getting ready to finish the guy who was just kissing her.

She had a feeling if she wanted to know what was going on she need the guy alive and not in a coma. She glanced at her prince and saw blood and instantly knew he didn't really deserve to be punished if she were not to be. She shot a bolt of silver light without knowing it at Uranus.

Uranus knew the princes reputation with women and knew what he could have done to Serena. Uranus thought about how Serena's innocence would be the conquest of the prince and so in anger she did what she does best, protect the princess.

The next thing Uranus felt after half killing the prince was a bolt of pain in her back and Uranus dropped the prince. Uranus turns around and walks over to Serena.

"I thought the next time he tried to kiss you, you were going to punch him." Uranus said with a look Serena knew all to well. "Well, I'm sorry I didn't but there was something about him that I couldn't resist. I mean with this glow coming off us we aren't exactly normal in the kissing, courting area. No one does this when they kiss, so why should we? The people of earth normally don't have powers but he does."

"They normally don't." said Queen Serenity from behind Uranus and Serena.
"But as you can see he is a little different than most of the people of earth." continued the Queen as the other scouts appeared and the generals.
"Mother do you know what the hell is going on?" asked Serena with a very confused look.
"Yes, please enlighten us on what the hell is going on. Because personally this amazon (Darien points to Uranus) needs to have some training in manners."
"Yes young prince but I believe all talks should occur someplace a little warmer and quieter." Queen Serenity says as she leads the group to the conference room.

In the white conference room everyone took seats around the large white table in the middle of the room. The generals and King and Queen of earth sat next to Darien while Serena's court sat next to her.

"Can't you four stop your laughing?" Darien yelled his generals. "It's not that funny." Darien sulked cleaning the blood from his lips.
"What happened Serena?" asked Rei.
"You frightened the hell out of us." Mina added finally out of her senshi uniform.
"Nothing. This guy whom I just found out is Prince Darien and we just met in the gardens." said Serena who was blushing cherry red.

Haruka was totally pissed and gave Darien an angry look saying telepathically to him, "You are damn lucky you didn't hurt her." Darien noticed the voice in his head and glanced at Haruka. He saw the devil in those eyes.

"Nephrite weren't there eight senshi outside?" Darien questioned.
"Yes, your highness. I remember counting eight girls outside and now there are seven girls and a guy."
*The guy kind of looks angry* through Darien.
"I know I've seen him somewhere before other than at the ball." Malachite said as he looked at Haruka.

All were listening now to the prince and general's conversation and started to laugh.
Darien and his generals with the king and two queens looked at the laughing girls.

"What are you guys laughing about?" asked very confused Malachite.
"About your conversation." Mina said between giggles.
"So what's so funny? We just want to meet the amazon who kicked Darien's ass." Jadeite told Mina.
Rei who had finally gotten a hold of herself said, "You really don't have to look very far. I mean the culprit is right over here." Rei pointed towards Haruka who only smiled.
" Yes, do you have a problem with that?!" Haruka yelled back.

The generals fell to the floor with laughter.
"I thought it was funny when you got your royal ass kicked by a chick, but this is icing on the cake!" Laughed Nephrite.
