Chapter Five.
" Serena ! " Darien yelled. " Wait up Serena ! "
" I don't want to talk to you Darien . " Serena shouted.
Serena began to run and Darien was quick to follow.
" Serena stop ! "
" No ! " Serena shouted. " Why don't you go back to your little slut ! "
Fuming Darien tackled Serena around the waist. Gasping for air she tired fight him but to no avail. He hauled her to her feet and dragged her towards the park. Serena tripped but Darien just tightened his grip on her arm. Once they reached the park Darien sat Serena down on a bench not too gently.
" Let me go ! " Serena demanded.
" No, you're going to shut up and listen to what I have to say . " Darien ordered.
" No."
" Shut up and listen ! " Darien repeated.
" Make it quick. " Serena growled. " I have a wedding to cancel . "
" You're not leaving until you hear what I have to say . " Darien said. " Nothing happened last night between me and Leta. At least not what you think happened."
" So something did happen."
" Yes. We had dinner, she listened to a problem of mine, gave me her opinion and told me to tell you . " He continued. " I said that I would , she said that you were coming over the next morning, this morning, she suggested that since it was so late that I just sleep in the guestroom and talk to you in the morning. Needless to say I agreed , you came and jumped to the wrong conclusions . "
"You're lying . " Serena whispered.
Darien raised his hand ans cupped her cheek. " Do I look like I'm lying ? "
Serena looked into his eyes and shook her head. " No . " She said softly. " What was your problem . "
" Am I forgiven ? " He asked. " I won't tell you if I'm not forgiven . "
" I forgive you Darien and I love you . "
" I love you too . " Darien smiled. " A couple called me the other week and told me that they think that I'm their long lost son. I was so confused and in a daze of sorts. I tried to talk to you about it but every time I tried one of your friends would come over and I'd never get a chance. Leta found me in the park and asked me what was wrong . "
" So why did you have to talk over dinner ? "
" Like I said, I was really upset and I hadn't been eating very much since the couple called me. Leta gave me part of her lunch and since she didn't have time to talk then she suggested that we talk over dinner . " Darien continued. " I agreed , we talked and you know the rest. Would you have done any differently ? "
" Darien.."
" Could you turn down one of Leta's home cooked meals ? "
" No I guess I wouldn't have done it any differently . " Serena smiled. " I'm really sorry Darien, please forgive me . "
" I forgive you but , " Darien said. " do you forgive Leta ? "
" I don't know . " She shrugged. " She hit me pretty hard . "
" Has she ever hit anyone not hard ? " Darien replied in Leta's defence. " Plus you provoked her . "
" But . " Serena began.
" She's helped you and the Scouts out so much Serena. She's all alone without you guys." Darien insisted. " You've forgiven so many people as Sailor Moon and they all desperately tried to kill you. All she did was lose her temper once and punch you . "
" I don't know . " Serena whined. " I'm so confused . "
" Serena..."Darien began.
" What ? "

The silver haired man started running down a narrow passageway leading into a large room.
" Nephrite ! ? " He heard someone exclaim and began to run even faster.
Entering the room he saw his three friends in the middle of the room.
" Jadeite ! Zoicite ! Nephrite ! " He cried.
They all turned and broke into smiles when they saw him. " Kunzite ! "
" Long time , no see." Kunzite said as casually as he could manage.
The other three men ran over and quick hugs were exchanged.
" Beryl and Metallia's spell has been lifted." Nephrite said.
" Yes, thank god . " Zoicite sighed.
" We killed them . " Jadeite whispered.
No one had to ask who the them was. They all already knew.
" They're all alive and well Jadeite . " Kunzite insisted. " And they're waiting for us. So let's go find them . "
" Can we make a portal to get there faster ? " The younger man asked.
" Sure. I can't wait another minute."
The four generals formed a portal and stepped through. On the other side they stepped into a park. There were trees and benches everywhere, there was also a fountain and two people were sitting by it talking. The moon light flashed for a second on Kunzite's silver hair causing the man to stop talking and look at the four men.
" Endymion ? Serenity ? " They all whispered in shock.
Simultaneously they walked over towards the couple. Stopping in front of them, they bowed.
" Prince Endymion, Princess Serenity ." They began. " We have come to beg your forgiveness and receive punishment for our actions while we were under Metallia's spell . "
Chapter Six.
Rei was busy sweeping the steps of the Temple when a sinking feeling in her stomach made her stop. She had returned from Leta's apartment a few hours ago and had gotten right to work. Her broom crashed to the floor when she was struck by a vision.
A man with scraggly blonde hair and blue eyes was dancing with a black haired and violet eyed woman. Instantly she recognized the woman. It was her during the Silver Millennium. Then she was Lady Rei, Princess of Mars. The man looked vaguely familiar but she couldn't put a name to the face. As the vision continued the man got down on his knee and said something. Rei was almost crying as she saw herself fling her eyes around his neck and kiss him. Then a violent battle erupted, only then did she recognize the man
Jadeite ! Rei opened her eyes, unable to watch anymore. She had loved him so deeply back then and he had betrayed her. And now he was back.

Amy was exhausted , she had just completed a very difficult, rushed one hour emergency operation. The child was in severe shock and trauma and was losing blood faster than they could pump it in. She was practically dead when the ambulance arrived and Amy gave her life. Tired and weary from having to move five times faster than usual she rested her head on her desk and slept. She had been asleep for no more than two minutes when she started dreaming of a long lost love.
There was a room filled with thousands of books. A library. There were two people sitting in front of a roaring fire playing chess, a woman with short blue hair and very blue eyes and a man with long blonde hair and green eyes. The woman made a move and cried " Checkmate ! " The man jumped to his feet, swept the woman into his arms and they kissed.
Suddenly darkness flooded the room and the man plunged his sword into the woman's chest. It went right through her heart and she died
Amy jerked awake and started crying.
" Why did you do it Zoicite ? " She whispered through a veil of tears.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
" Endymion ? " Darien said. " That's a name that I haven't heard in a long time . "
" Serenity ? " Serena whispered, confused. " Oh yeah I'm Princess Serenity. D'uh . "
" I don't know if what you did could ever be forgiven . " Darien stated.
" Darien you must remember that they weren't themselves . " Serena began. " They were under Metallia's spell . "
Turning to the generals she said. " I forgive you but I don't know if they will . "
" Thank you Serenity. "
" Don't thank me. I forgave you because there was nothing to forgive . " Serena rushed. " And please call me Serena. That's my name now. Serenity was a princess, I'm not the princess right now . "
" Yes P...Serena . "
" I forgive you too and it's Darien, not Endymion for the same reasons . " He sighed. " Except I'm not the Prince right now . "
The generals nodded.
" Do you think that they'll forgive us ? " Jadeite asked.
" I don't know. You'll have to find out for yourselves . " Serena shrugged.
" How will we find them ? " Zoicite asked.
" Well...." Serena began before she was interrupted by her communicator. " Just a minute."
" Yes ? "
" Serena come quick ! " Mina shouted. " People are being attacked by a youma on the other side of the park. Near the arcade . "
" I'm on my way . " She replied. " Are the others coming ? "
" They're already on their way . "
" Okay . " Turning to the generals she said. " Looks like you might not have to wait to find them. Let's go ! " She started running.
" Renee ! " Serena shouted when she saw her pink haired future daughter. " We have to transform ! "
Renee nodded and together they cried. " Moon Crisis ! Make up ! "
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Mina couldn't believe her eyes. She was walking home from the arcade , daydreaming about a man with silver hair and grey eyes. She had snapped out of it when she heard people screaming.
It started with only one youma. But as soon as she called the others, six more had appeared.
Ducking behind a bush she transformed. " Venus crystal power ! Make up ! "
Sailor Venus stepped out from behind the bush and yelled at the youma.
" Hey youma ! I wouldn't do that if I were you . "
" And what are you going to do about it girlie ? " The first youma sneered.
" Venus love and beauty shock ! "
The youma disappeared and reappeared behind her. It grabbed her from behind and began to drain her energy. Mina did the only thing that she could. She screamed.
Suddenly she was released. Mina fell to the ground and watched as the youma went flying into a large oak tree. Looking up she almost fainted.
" Don't you know better than to go walking alone on this side of the park ? " A familiar voice said.
" Serena ! " Darien yelled. " Wait up Serena ! "
" I don't want to talk to you Darien . " Serena shouted.
Serena began to run and Darien was quick to follow.
" Serena stop ! "
" No ! " Serena shouted. " Why don't you go back to your little slut ! "
