AN: I don't own Sailor Moon! WAH! I am so sorry!

Serena didn't walk home. If she did, everyone would find her. So she went to the last expecting place: Darien's apartment.

"What's up, Serena?" he asked, placing warm cookies on the table in front of the couch where they were sitting.

She didn't even take a second glance at the cookies. She kept her eyes on Darien. "There is something I must say to you."

He looked into her eyes. His were full of worry, yet happiness, but Serena's was full of determination and sorrow. She was planning to tell him about her dream, and she was afraid on how he would react.

"I had a dream. It had me and—and Queen Serenity in it." His eyes changed to 100% worry. "She told me that, that—" She stopped breathing. 'After I tell him this, it would be wise to break up,' she thought. 'I won't be able to stand that. But—Akio. Does he love me too?' She shook her head. 'No, I won't tell Darien until I'm sure Akio loves me back.' She blinked now. 'I hope this doesn't make me a player.' Serena just had to smile at that.

Darien was still looking at her. "Serena? What did she tell you?"

"Oh! That—um—" She forced a grin. "Forgot."

He blinked. "You forgot?" he echoed. "How can you just forget?"

"Uhh—I dunno," Serena lied.

He smiled and shook it off. "Ok, then. Would you like some cookies? They're your favs."

Serena stared at the cookies, then shook her head. She had no appetite. The only thing on her mind now was Akio. Akio. Akio. But now she didn't know where to find him. She couldn't show her face in front of Andrew again. He is the only one who knows how she feels. 'I'll ask Mina to tell him to meet me somewhere,' she told herself, standing up.

"I'm gonna go now, Darien," she said.

He stood up. "Is something wrong?" he asked. "You love my cookies, and you usually stay here for at least more than fifteen minutes. Did something happen in your dream? You know you can tell me anything."

'Great. Now I have to tell him,' she thought. "Eh—"

Before she got to say anything, he brought her into a tight hug. Serena almost wanted to cry now. Every time when Darien hugged her, she felt so happy and joyous and always felt like kissing him. Now—she felt nothing. Just a little bit warm from his jacket. So she pulled away.

He stared at her, dumbstruck. "Serena, what's wrong? What happened?"

She looked down, and her communicator interrupted her thoughts. She bent down to her purse and got it out and saw that it was Sailor Uranus on the other end.

"There's a big one!" she exclaimed. Serena noticed some fire in the background. "Near the elementary school!" And it went fuzzy.

Darien heard. He was already Tuxedo Mask. Serena faked a determined face and took out her wand thinking, 'This is such the wrong time!'

She held it up high and yelled, "Moon Sun-Star Power!" 'Where did that come from?' she thought as she transformed. The command to transform just came to her, so she yelled it. She had also taken out a different wand than she usually used. It was a pink stick with a golden orb at the top, having the sun and moon on it.

And when she finished transforming, her uniform was completely different too. It was a golden band across her breast and a golden skirt, and a long golden over-jacket. Her odangoes were covered with a golden shield that had a sun and moon encrusted into it. Her gloves and high-heeled shoes, which looked like Mars' except her toes shown, were also golden. And, just in case you were still fuzzy on her looks her make-up and tiara was golden too.

"Sailor Moon!" Tuxedo Mask exclaimed, looking her over. "What happened to you?"

Sailor Moon took a deep breath, then exhaled. "I—I don't know."

Then the thought suddenly came to her: Akio. Prince Akio of the Solar Kingdom. Solar. Sun. Gold. 'But then why have I suddenly changed?' she asked herself as they ran down the stairs of Darien's apartment and into his car.

Her eyes turned black as a vision swept over her.

Serena looked into the mirror on her wedding day and sighed. She looked absolutely beautiful, except her heart was ruin. She hadn't even met, nonetheless seen, Prince Akio. 'Is he handsome?' she thought as she fixed her vail. 'Does he have a sense of humor? Is he sensitive?'

Just then her mother came into knocked and walked into her room and smiled.

"You look absolutely wonderful, Serenity," she said, walking over gracefully.

"Then why don't I feel wonderful?" she asked in reply, not even looking at her mother.

Serena was wearing a long golden dress with daffodils and chrysanthemums everywhere. Her vail had all sorts of yellow flowers in it, and her long white gloves held but one flower. She was to give that to Prince Akio when they were wed.

"Everyone feels regretful on their wedding day," Queen Serenity commented, helping her fix the vail. "There. You know, you are doing a wonderful thing. It is almost like creating world peace, or should I say universe peace." She frowned when a tear slid down Serena's face. "My Serenity, don't cry. You will love living with Prince Akio in the Solar Kingdom—"

"What!" Serena screamed, swirling around to look at her mother in the eyes. "I have to live there? I have to leave you? And Luna and Artemis?" She drew in a rattling breath. (AN: I am guessing Diana wasn't born yet since Serena and Endymion isn't married and don't have Rini yet)

"Well, yes, Serena," Serenity replied. "I haven't seen it, but in books it is said to be grand. The biggest Kingdom of them all."

Serena's eyes filled up with tears but she didn't allow them to fall. She looked in the mirror again, at the beautiful, heartbroken teenager. 'My life is over,' she told herself when her mother left the room. 'My wonderful, carefree life is officially over. I'll never see my mother ever again. I'll never see Luna ever again. Nor Artemis. I won't be able to talk to my friends they way I talk to them now.' She bit her tongue to keep from screaming. 'I'll never see my love ever again. I will die before I get to see him. Prince Akio, or King Akio now, won't allow me. I won't be able to look at a single rose without collapsing into tears. How am I going to live with myself?'

Someone knocked on the door and she turned around to face it. Queen Serenity came in again, and she grinned.

"It's time." It sounded like it was time to enter her deathbed.

Serena nodded and walked out of her room and down the hallway. She could already here the audience. She came to the staircase and everyone stopped speaking and looked up at their princess. As she descended down the stairs, she wondered if Endymion was there, but she knew that her mother would not allow it.

She now walked down the golden rug to the priest and her prince. He turned around and faced her with a large smile, staring at her dreamily with large blue eyes that anyone, even herself, which shocked her, would die for.

Large blue eyes.

Akio Masuyo!

**

"Akio!" Serena screamed, popping into reality. She was breathing heavily and Tuxedo Mask was standing over her.

"Sailor Moon!" he yelled, helping her up. "Are you okay?" She only nodded, still panting. "You should've taken a nap at a time like this! The Scouts were stalling as you slept. You need to hurry and destroy the monster! Our friends are getting hurt!"

She gasped and quickly scrambled away, to where they were fighting. In front of her stood a massive lizard, except standing on its back legs. The first word that came to her when she saw it was 'Godzilla.'

Then a new thought came to her. 'If I have a new uniform, I must have new powers to make up for my old ones.' Then, panic-stricken, she thought, 'I don't know any of them!'

"Sailor Moon!" Sailor Venus screamed. She was trying to hold the monster with her love chain. "Help us!"

"I—I don't know how!" she yelled, almost to tears.

"MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND!" Sailor Mars screamed, attacking the lizard. "What do you mean, you don't know how!"

"Have you seen me, lately?" Sailor Moon demanded. "Well, look at me!" She pointed to her new outfit.

"Say whatever comes to heart," Sailor Jupiter suggested, dodging a blow from the monster's tail.

Serena, unnoticed tears flowing down her face, nodded and closed her eyes. 'Say whatever comes to heart,' she thought. 'Just like how I transformed, except I wasn't aware until I was actually doing it.' She mentally shrugged. 'I'll just make something up, and make sure I use some energy with it.'

She opened her eyes, and saw Uranus using her World Shaking attack. It only stunned the monster, but she knew it wouldn't be a minute before it was active again.

"Er—" Sailor Moon quickly searched through her mind to find the right words. "Moon—Starlight—" 'One more word,' she thought. But it was too late. The monster had revived and it was coming right at her.

It roared as it charged; Serena too scared to move. Mars, Mercury and Neptune screamed for her to move, while Venus, Jupiter and Uranus attacked the monster continuously, but kept missing because it was running too fast.

She closed her eyes and waited for the blow.

Serena heard it roar again after a pause. She opened one eye and gasped, surprised. It had turned to gold! There was a golden flower stuck right above its eye. 'How did that happen?'

From the flower, a crack formed. It spread all across and over the monster until it broke and vanished. She gulped and stepped back, but bumped into Tuxedo Mask. He put his hands on her shoulders, clearly also confused, but she rudely shook him off, completely forgetting everything.

"Sailor Moon—" he started, but what interrupted from someone behind them all.

"It's not Sailor Moon anymore."

They spun around, and now faced a man who looked the same age and height as Darien/Tuxedo Mask. His nose was more round and he had blonde hair. And he was wearing what Darien was wearing, except it was yellow beneath and yellow on the outside, and he was carrying a yellow flower instead.

Yellow flower.

Serena was seeing a lot of those lately. Could it be—She looked into his eyes, and smiled warmly. Even from this distance, even if he was wearing a mask, his eyes were large and blue. That anyone would die for.
