Finally, here it is the thing that many of you has been waiting: the sequel
to "Rainy Day Man" and "Walk Me Home". You know it was so hard to
start writing this trying to live up to the previous two stories. Also, I
have been really busy with school, projects, you know the usual. Ok before
anybody starts writing flames and what not, I'll stop babbling and let you
guys enjoy the story.

Chapter 1: *That* Day for her

It has been two years since *that* day as Serena Tsukino now
referred to it as. What day am I taking about you say? On that fateful
day in the rain, she had an epiphany. On that day, she found out that
she was going to be a mother to a beautiful pink haired child, the day
that she realized that her lifeline existed for thousands of years, that
day she recognized that Serena Tsukino was more than what she
has been given credit for. She knew that she owed all this to one
person, Trowa Barton.

On that day, Trowa Barton saved her life not once but twice but
just as quickly he was taken from her life. Often, she wondered if it was a
dream since she was the only person who really remembered him. Rini had
no idea what she was talking about since she was hiding from Rubeus. When
she asked Andrew about it, he couldn't recall some guy from a certain rainy
day. Instead, Serena lived on the sheer will and hope to one day she will
see him again but two years had already past and still no sign of
Trowa Barton.

Two years is a long time and a lot has changed. Now at sixteen
years of age, Serena had matured and blossomed from that fourteen
year old klutz back in a day. She still had her trademark bunny-ear hair
style but longer. She was slightly taller, more bodily build and many of
her womanly curves were nicely developed that can turn any guy's head.

Mind you, Serena was not just another 'dumb blond'. From a
failing student, she now had the wisdom of her friend Amy Anderson.
Her azure eyes can reflect that and certainly, the transformation didn't
occur over night since it was hard for anybody to believe that she
wanted to change. In fact, it took her months of trial and error, studying
the pages of a dictionary, (many of which she did not really understand)
and Amy's daily tutoring. At first Amy was surprised but when she saw
how determined Serena wanted to understand but never had the needed
encouragement, she decided to give her daily lessons and taught Serena
how to use the Internet for her research. Now Serena could satisfy
her love for comics and still manages her school work.

Without having to worry about school work so much, she had learned
to manage time very well and thus her klutz attacks had been virtually
nonexistent. She even taken up karate with her friend Lita Kino who
was more then willing to have a sparring partner. With her skills as
Sailor Moon, Serena quickly worked her way up to a black belt and
even customized her attacks to compliment her Sailor Moon attacks.
In short, Serena now had something to look forward in life, something
to be proud of and even her friends Amy, Lita and Mina Aino even
Luna would praise.

And then there were Raye Hino and Darien Chiba. With time,
Serena had drifted apart from them. Both Raye and Darien now lived
on the other side of the world. Raye was sent to an American private
school by Grandpa and Darien went to Harvard. Serena had hardly
spoken to them since *that* day.

What about Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts? Without
Sailor Mars, the group had became a foursome and Rini was safe
back in the future with Pegasus. Over time, the Wiseman happened,
the Dead Moon Circus happened, Pegasus happened, and Neherenia
happened. Everybody at first questioned whether or not Rini was
the product of Serena and Darien *um union. After their break up
and with Raye and Darien becoming an item, Pluto is not saying
anything, everybody just accepted that Rini was still alive and well.
Of course, often wonder just who Serena is going to end up with
but since *that* day, Serena who was once a blabber mouth, she
became more reserved and quiet.

On another note, Sailor Moon was much stronger since *that*
day. She had learned to harness some of the powers from the
Imperium Silver Crystal. As its carrier, Serena had trained extra
hard, jogging daily, along with karate, she had often practised the
crystal's magic. Overall, Serena grew up to be a daughter that
Queen Serenity would be glad to call her own.

But then one must wonder, why the sudden change? The answer: it's
for a guy. No, that is not entirely true but looking back Serena saw the
courage, the strength in Trowa Barton despite his amnesia. He had lost
a part of himself yet, he still managed to save her life twice. On *that*
day, when she transformed into Princess Serenity, she felt a part of that
strength, the immense gift that she possessed all this time in a single
broach. She wanted to let him know how much he had changed her. When she
kissed him, she gave him a part of herself, strength for him to go on to
find that part of himself that he had lost long ago.

The kiss. It was something that she could still remember with time. In
fact, it had grown more vivid and memorable as she kept replaying it in her
mind. Each night, the kiss was the last thing that she thought about.
Each accomplishment she made, she owed to that one kiss. In that one kiss,
she knew that she had to see Trowa again.

End Chapter 1

Ok this will be longer than the previous two stories don't worry this is
still a Serena/Trowa fic. Be warn I do not follow the original SM
storyline and since I haven't seen Endless Waltz I will probably be
winging most of it. Serena seemed OOC from the original series but
like I said in the story, Trowa had changed her life drastically and Serena
is willing to change for that one guy, you can't say that isn't romantic.
Anyway, don't forget to r/r.
