Serena scooted a little closer to Darien, breathing in the warm auroma of Darien and the surrounding rose gardens. She rested her head on his shoulder, and she smiled, content. She was happy, more than she had thought she would be at having a boyfriend, or something close to that, but she couldn't shake this strange deja-vu feeling. It was like, somewhere and somehow, she had done this exact things a million times with this same person. She knew, or thought she did, that that was impossible. Darien was from America, and she, well she was born and raised in Japan. She cleared her head of these silly thought, and she just rested gently against Darien. A small breeze blew, sending the fallen rose petals dancing around them. Serena laughed a little, and Darien leaned over, kissing Serena gently. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and they shared in the most tender, passionate kiss. When they opened their eyes, Darien nearly fell backward from the bench. Serena however, she smiled.
I thought this place was only in my dreas, but I guess I can get here through other triggers as well. Darien looked at the calm expression on Serena's face, confused. She smiled at him, and she stood up.
"Where are we?" he asked. Serena smiled gently, and she took his hand. She had figured everything out.
"The Moon Kingdom," she said, a small grin playing on the corners of her lips. "I would think you would remember this place, My Love, where we spent so much time." Darien looked at her confused. Serena smiled, and she pulled her locket from under her shirt. She held it in her palm, and she whispered softly, "Make me Princess Serena." She began to glow softly, and suddenly her body was encompassed by thousands of ribbons of pure light. She emerged, her crescent shining beautifully in the moonlight. She sat down beside Darien, and she took his hand again.
"Do you remember now?" she asked, smiling gently at the man she loved so much. Darien nodded, a small lump in his throat. He threw his arms around Serena, and she smiled.
"Oh Serena!" he said, his body trembling slightly. "I'm so sorry I left you! I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to beat her, and I'm sorry I left you to fight alone." Serena placed a finger to his lips, silencing him.
"My dear Prince," she said, love in her voice, "it wasn't your fault. I was berly able to beat her myself. But look, things are all ok now. We'v found each other, and now I know that the strength I lacked before is present in me now. My dear Prince Darien, things will be different this time. We can have the life together that we dreamt of before." Darien reached over gently, his hand cupping her face. He kissed her gently, and they opened their eyes to find themselves sitting on the bench in the park, the sun having gone down, and the park empty. Darien looked at Serena, and he smiled.
"So," he said, a smile plastered on his face.
"So," Serena said, her eyes sparkling brighter than any of the stars shining in the sky. Serena leaned over to Darien, and she planted a small kiss on his forehead. "I've missed you." Darien smiled. They wrapped their arms around each other, embracing the other tenderly. Serena pulled back from his arms and smiled.
"Wait 'til Luna hears about this!" Darien looked at her, confused.
"Ummm, Serena," he said, "isn't Luna your CAT?" Serena laughed, and she took his hand, rising from her seat.
"Let's just go home," she said. "We'll get everything straightened out there." A small smile played on her mouth, but she walked towards the car with Darien in a calm manner. He was gunna flip when he heard Luna talk! They walked slwoly, hand in hand, over to Darien's car, and they pulled out of the parking lot. As they drove, Serena looked over at Darien. All of the love for him that had been locked away before was now swiming through her, and she smiled. She loved him. And he loved her. As they climbed out of the car, Serena was greeted by Mina, who had a very strange look on her face.
"Ummm...Serena," Mina said, glancing nervously over at Darien, "you know who (Luna) called us over. The girls are in your room already." Serena nodded her head, and she turned to Darien.
"I think you had better come too," she said. Mina looked at her like 'what the hell are you doing?' and Serena laughed. "Oh, you'll see." Serena said, taking Darien's hand and leading him and Mina up to her room. When they opened the door, the girls shot a look over at Serena, identical to the one Mina had produced. Serena pushed Darien forward, introducing the girls to him.
"And girls, I'd like you to meet Darien," she said, a smiled playing on the corner of her mouth. "the infamous Tuxedo Mask. And Darien, these are the scouts." The girls and Darien looked as if they had just swallowed a fly or something. Serena laughed, sitting on her bed. They were brought back to themselves by Luna clearing her throat.
"Ok, so everyone's here now," she said, Darien looking completely shocked. "Now let's get down to business." And with that, she told the scouts about the information Serena had found in her dreams, and Serena in turn added the bit about the Prince, Darien. Slowly, the girls remembered, and they looked around, a strange silence filling the room. Luna was the one to break the silence.
"The purpose of telling you about this, is that the fight with Beryl it seems is going to be much sooner than I thought before," she said, her face looking tired. "And it seems we've been sent an ultimadum; come to the park at midnight tonight, or face the consequences, namely a number of her strongest warriors being set lose upon the city." Serena's face drained. She was the only one of them to have actually fought the witch successfully, so to speak, and she cringed at the thought of facing her again. She swallowed and stood up, a little unsteadily.
"Then I guess we're going," she said. "I mean, what choice do we have?" Raye shook her head furiously.
"No!" she cried. "Its probably a trap! If we go, who knows what'll happen?" Serena sighed.
"No, if we don't go, then what will happen to the people who live around here. With all those monsters on the loose, we won't be able to prevent the damage they could do. We're going, or at least I know I am. Its your choice to come or not." Amy stood, taking Serena's hand.
"Then I'm going," she said, and Lita, Mina and lastly Raye gave the word that they'd go. Darien pulled Serena aside, his eyes filled with worry.
"Serena, be careful," he said, his voice soft. "I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you." Serena kissed him softly, and she smiled.
"I'll be fine, don't worry."
"I'm going too," he said, his face showing his determination. "If you're going into this battle, then I'm going to be there by your side." Serena hugged him. She broke away from the embrace, and she looked at the clock.
"Ok, its 7:30 now," she began, taking the tone of the leader once more, "we'll all meet here at 11 just to be safe." The group broke apart, going their seperate ways after leaving the house. Serena walked back to the arcade, and she picked up her bike. Riding back home, she thought about what was coming. She cringed, her face drained of its color. God, please help us through this one. She pulled her bike into the garage, and she walked back inside. Darien sat at the kitchen table, his head in his hands. Serena smiled. He was so handsome. She placed her hand on his shoulder, and she whispered, "Are you ok?" Darien nodded, and he wrapped his arms around Serena, his embrace tight. She let herself go, and she just stayed there, for who knows how long. She turned her head and kissed Darien gently. He kissed her back, their tongues gently exploring. Passion was poured into the kiss, and the love they had for each other came out as well. They kissed softly again before settling back into the warm embrace of before. Serena sighed. The time was aproaching fast. When the girls showed up at 11, their faces showed their strength. The eyes of the band of fighters hed no fear anymore. They were ready to fight, no matter the out come. They transformed, and they stood at the entrance of the park. The time to fight was here.
