Summary

Serena makes a wish. And her powerful uncle grants it.
Now Darien has to compete for her heart, as well as
remove the obstacle of his replacement girlfriend.

Information

Darien is 19. Serena and the scouts are 17. Darien has no
idea who the scouts are. The scouts don't know that
Darien is tuxedo mask either. Princess Serenity has not
been revealed, as of yet. Darien and Rei are dating each
other. This story does not have a timing to occur in the
series. Meaning this is an alternative reality sort of.
But the powers and legends are all the same.

Two Makes One: Chapter 5… Fate or Destiny

Endymion reappeared back at the park in the secluded area
of the cherry blossom trees. He gazed down at Serena and
cradled her still form in his arms. He dropped to his
knees making sure not to jostle his precious bundle. He
gently placed Serena on the ground and unwrapped her from
the warmth of his cape. He looked down on her to see that
she was paler then usual. Her once rosy cheeks now ivory
white. The strange thing was her hair was different. No
longer silver but gold and silver. He pushed those
thoughts aside. He closed his eyes as his jaw squared in
set determination. He then brought his hands out in front
of him, placing them tenderly on Serena's wound causing
her to slightly flinch in her subconscious state. He
deposited all of his concentration on her life force,
which was fading quickly. He felt warmth as a golden
light flowed from his fingers. The light sparkled and
glowed as it caressed the gash. Serena's wound 'pulled'
its self back together and completely healed leaving no
scar. Endymion then pulled his hands back and opened his
eyes, proud and happy he managed to save his heart, life,
and love Serenity. He then shrugged off his armor tiered
and drained. He lay down next to Serena and enfolded her
in his arms to protect her as well as warm her. He
wrapped his cloak around them more around her them
himself. He then pulled Serena closer and placed her head
on his chest so that she may use it as a pillow. He made
sure that his sword was reachable incase he was called
upon to protect her. After ten minutes of restlessness he
fell into the land of dreams.

The next morning the Crown Arcade staff room was being
renovated. At the counter of the crown five people sat on
stools slumped over in worry and defeat, four being
teenage girls and the other a man.

"Serena's Mom said it's okay that she stays at Ami's
house." Andrew stated as he came back from the phone.

"Thanks Andrew." Mina smiled.

"No prob. Here's your drink Ami." He smiled as he gave
Ami her green tea.

"Thank you." She sighed.

Andrew nodded his head and sat back down next to Darien.

"I can't believe it that guy just knocked us out like we
were kitchen fodder." Lita scowled as she drank her
vanilla milkshake.

"What ever you just wanted to punch the guys lights out.
Not that I didn't want to either. I hope Serena's okay."
Rei said as she sipped her pesi.

"Yes so do I. But either way it was obvious that man had
the upper hand against us. He could be a very big
threat." Ami reflected out loud as she tapped her chin in
wonder.

"And what was with those weirdo names anyway? What were
they again?" Mina pouted in thought, for once.

"Reiko, Minari, Litani, Amitha, and-" Rei summarized.

"Serenity." Darien answered/ended.

All heads turned to look at him astounded that he
actually said a word. All morning he had just revealed
that he was Tuxedo Mask and they 'needed' to get Serena
back. Other then that he had remained silent.

"Yeah her name was Serenity." Andrew recalled while he
stared at Darien's blank and emotionless expression. He
sighed. "And I still can't get over that six of my
friends are the super heroes of Tokyo. And not to mention
one of them being my best bud." He mumbled the last
sentence under his breath. He was still looking at
Darien. He had never seen Darien be so distant before and
he had only gotten worse at the mention of Serena being
Sailor Moon. I want to know why?

Darien had his reasons. He truly did. He still could not
get the memory of Serena gazing lovingly at that man -
Endymion she called him- out of his mind. He scowled it
was like the scene was burned into his memory. Then he
quickly took a glance at Rei out of the corner of his
eye. Sure she had given him looks like the look Serena
gave Endymion. But none of Rei's looks for him was as
powerful or as meaningful as the one look that Serena
gave Endymion. Also to cause more strife for him, Tuxedo
Mask was not there to save Sailor Moon. Meaning he was
not there to save Serena. He had felt the familiar call
and tug at his mind and heart but he fought it off. And
why? Because he was on a date with Rei and didn't want to
leave. I feel like a fool He thought as he stared down
into his black coffee. Black just like how I feel, dark
and bitter He sighed as he stirred his coffee.

"Mmmm." Serena moaned as she shifted in her sleep. She
had dreamt of a beautiful and familiar Kingdom falling
and being overtaken. She had also dreamt of her dream
Prince dieing in her arms and moments latter she took up
his sword and ran it through her heart. The dream had
caused her to cry, she shivered thinking about her blood
that flowed on the marble ground. It looked and 'felt' so
real. She shifted once again on her hard bed. She
suddenly stilled. Her eyes snapped open as she felt two
muscled arms were enveloped protectively around her
waist. Instantly she shot up waking the person next to
her.

"Serenity." He murmured.

Serena gasped as she turned around and pulled the
sheet/cape of his face. Her jaw dropped into an O as she
just stared at him. As if in a trance she leaned forward
and brushed his hair out of his eyes.

Endymion opened his eyes and just looked intently at his
love. He watched in silence as the sun shone down on her,
creating a halo of gold, as cherry blossoms fell down
around her in a fragrant shower. He then placed his hand
over hers while he lightly stroked her silky smooth skin.

"Endy?" She asked tentatively in a mere whisper.

He gave her a reassured and charming smile then pulled
her down into his arms all the while remaining to be
gentle. "I thought I was going to lose you love."
Endymion whispered tightly not wanting to know the loss
he would feel if she had… he refused to even think it.

"I am here Endy. With you and I'm not going any where my
prince." She murmured. "But Endy the question is what are
you doing here?" She asked as she pulled back and stared
at his finely chiseled face.

Endymion's eyebrow rose as his eyes held amusement. "Am I
not welcome here, love?" He queried with mock hurt. "Or
have you bored of me already?" He asked pouting.

Serena giggled and swatted his arm playfully. "You know
you are forever welcome in my arms and heart Endymion."
She smiled. "And as for boring of you. How could the moon
ever bore of gazing down upon the stunning earth?" She
whispered as she leaned against his broad shoulder and
muscled athletic chest.

"Glad to hear that my sweet." Endymion chuckled as he
enclosed his arms around her.

Far off in the black fog of darkness Kronos sat on his
throne watching his favored saga, life.

"My Lord." A voice echoed in the solitude and space of
forever.

Kronos dispelled the portal of his view down on the
mortals. "Show your self." He bellowed as he raised form
his throne.

"As you wish." The masculine voice replied. In a spark of
blue light the Mercurian God and King, Hermes stood in a
blue and white robe in all his glory. "I have an urgent
message Kronos." Stated the raven streaked blue haired
man.

"So it seems." Kronos sighed as he sat back down on his
black marble throne.

"Kronos the gods demand that you stop your interference
with Serenity at once." He said as he narrowed his navy
blue eyes.

"And place her fate in their hands to do as they please.
I think not." Kronos replied his temper building.

"Kronos you know you will surrender your fate to them if
you continue on in your interference. This is not a game
you will win old friend." Hermes sighed as he twiddled
his staff of snakes.

"I did not begin this to win. But to finish this." Kronos
declared as obstinate as customary.

"As stubborn as ever I see." Hermes sighed once again as
he adjusted his helmet of darkness in his arms.

"Are you finished?" Kronos growled

"Yes I am. But they are not. Your time is running short
my friend. I have another message for you." He paused.
"Ares and Aphrodite will be coming to see you soon. They
wish to persuade you also." He stated as he continued to
stare at Kronos with concern.

"I can't believe this after a millennia they are coming
to visit me. I should have done this sooner." He smirked.

Hermes groaned. "Your fate will be worse then this
Kronos. You cannot escape the hand of the Gods, God or
mortal all are in reach of their wrath, even you old
friend." Hermes confirmed.

"Death would be an improvement compared to this sentence.
I took the life of Rheia my adulterous wife and I am
sentenced to an eternal sanctuary of confinement. I would
consider this place this pit of infinite darkness a
prison rather then a sanctuary. I welcome death with open
arms." Kronos stated bitterly.

Hermes shook his head. "And who would you have take your
throne? Your daughter Trista you would cast your fate on
her shoulders?" He inquired trying to convince the Pluto
God of another way, but in vain.

"Ah yes Trista. I would never wish this fate on anyone
not even her. But you see Hermes she already as a throne.
Her fate and destiny is set in stone. She is the guardian
of the gates of time she cannot leave her post. So I
suggest you leave 'old friend'." Kronos turned his head
away as in dismissal.

"I never knew what darkness and silence could do to a
soul. Now I see I never want to know." And with his last
words of wisdom and concern Hermes left Kronos in
darkness.

Kronos scowled in the shadows. "I will finish this. I
will not cast another's destiny into the merciless hands
of the 'GODS.'" He murmured icily as his voice echoed
with a promise.

In the meantime back at the park underneath the cherry
blossom trees Serena cuddled in Endymion's embrace a part
of her asking/screaming how her dream Prince could be
real. And her other half demanding her to push her
troubles, cares, and doubts aside to indulge and bask in
Endymion's presence and affections. I choose the latter
She smiled to herself. Just as Serena was once again
going to dive into more of her dreams a thought struck
her. The sailor scouts must be worried sick Her eyes
widened. Reiko, I mean Rei… is going to chuck a fit
Serena glanced up at Endymion's thoughtful face and
sighed. She wanted to stay there with him and not worry
about the 'outside' world. But duty calls She huffed
inwardly and pouted.

Endymion noticed her expression and asked. "What is wrong
my princess?"

"Endy dear we must go to the scouts." She informed him.

"But love, they are traitors to your throne and I. We
mustn't-" Endymion began.

Serena silenced him by pressing her finger against his
lips. "Endy, we must go. Please love for me." She
frowned.

Endymion groaned. He could never refuse her of anything.
If she asked for his throne he knew with out a doubt he
would surrender it to her with out question or hesitance.
At times that thought scared him. But he knew she would
never ask for such a thing. All she had asked for was his
love. No promises of gold, treasure, fame, power and
land. Just his heart and love, which she freely returned
with her very, own. The thought that her love and heart
was his was overwhelming, so very…

"Endy?" Serena murmured, unknowingly pulling him out of
his reminiscence.

"Let us be on our way then." He sighed.

Serena smiled triumphantly.

Endymion was about to teleport the both of them when
Serena stopped him. "Let us walk, love." She smiled.

Endymion nodded his head. "Then allow us to become
comfortable in more suitable attire." He smiled as he
winked his eye.

Serena's stained and ruined sailor school uniform melted
away to be replaced with an elegant sundress. The light
silky pure white spaghetti strapped sundress came down to
above her knees. The dress hung in all the right places
enhancing her beauty. Her feet were wrapped in white high
strap flip-flops so she was up to Endymion's chin. Her
ears were decorated with sterling silver and white
teardrop pearls. Around her neck was a thin sterling
silver chain with a lone pearl tear. And on her
engagement finger sat a platinum ring with diamonds and
sapphires. She had pure white roses threaded through her
hair in her meatballs. She looked heavenly, like an angel
really.

Endymion's look was just as gorgeous. He wore form
fitting black pants and a loose white buttonless dress
shirt. The collar came down into a V revealing his tanned
muscled chest. He had a black with white thread jacket
over the shirt. It was high cut up to just above his
waist. At his feet he wore black boots. The only jewelry
he wore was the single platinum band around his
engagement finger. He looked like a god made for one
thing… to seduce.

Endymion looked at her form approvingly. Stunning

The pair looked like they had just walked out of a fairy
tale. But Serena had to confess even though the clothes
were from millennia ago they were still fashionable. She
also noticed that Endymion's armor and cape had
disappeared. He probably teleported them to somewhere
safe as usual she mused. But his sword remained in the
sheath that was tied around his narrow waist. She was
about to speak when Endymion had cut her off.

"There is no way you are going to convince me to remove
my sword, love. I will not escort you with out the proper
precautions." He explained.

Serena scowled and opened her mouth to speak again but
Endymion predicted this and once again stopped her.

"And no, love. I know that you are not a child and
capable of taking care of yourself. But what type of
escort would I be if you did not have the proper
protection, my sweet?"

Serena sighed she saw his point. But either way I don't
need an escort or protection for that matter. And the
police might not be as lenient as me. I'll just let him
play guard anyway "Come then Endymion we are wasting
time." She said as she turned on her heel and walked
away.

Soon after Endymion followed her wrapping a protective
and possessive arm around her waist. He then sighed. "Let
us make haste Serenity."

Serena explained to Endymion what everything was and that
a car was like a carriage but with out horses. He was
very confused but accepted the changes and was joyous
that Beryl or the witch to him was dead, but sad because
of the fall of his Golden Kingdom. She then explained
that they had to find the sailor scouts to figure out why
he was there. This he reluctantly accepted as she
persuaded him with a kiss on his cheek.

As the couple walked along the streets of Jubban they
contrasted nicely, Endymion in black with his arm draped
around Serena's waist who was in white. They looked like
God and Goddess, Prince and Princess, King and Queen,
Night and Day, Devil and Angel, Lover and Lover…Infinity
and Eternity…Fate and Destiny…
