Hey there my faithful readers. I am extremely sorry for the long delay, but I did get this out sooner than I thought I would. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Why do I even bother? You already know that I don't own Sailor Moon. You already know that I own my own characters. Oh well, on with the chapter. *************************************************************

Where's Lara?

Lara was walking through the park looking at all the beautiful flowers. When she came to the Starflower, she stopped to admire it. This flower still reminded her of a time long past, a time when she was happy, a time when there was love all around her. Lara looked at her watch: it was ten minutes to three. Lara decided to hang around the flower gardens for a few more minutes, then go walk in the forest. Lara had no doubt that Tiger would be able to find her no matter where she was.

Someone tapped Lara on the shoulder. Lara turned around, right into Tiger's arms. He seemed almost as surprised as Lara was. Lara was only startled for a minute; then, on impulse, she hugged Tiger around the waist. Tiger didn't seem to know what to make of this reaction, but he caught on pretty quickly. Tiger returned the hug, holding Lara close to his body.

Lara looked up at him. "I missed you." She whispered, so quietly that he could barely hear her.

Tiger smiled down at her. "I missed you too." He whispered back.

Silently they came to the mutual agreement that they would like to tour the flower gardens today instead of walking through the forest. They started in the extensive rose gardens. Lara admired the carefully cultivated roses that grew all around her. Tiger had stopped at the entrance to this garden. He had never seen so many different colours of roses in his life. It was stunning. Lara noticed that Tiger wasn't with her anymore.

"What's wrong Tiger? Are you allergic to roses? I'm sorry, I didn't even ask before." Lara came back to where Tiger had stopped.

Tiger looked at Lara, a smile tugging at his lips. "No, I'm not allergic, I've just never seen anything like this before. There are so many different colours here." Tiger still looked a little stunned. "Which colour is your favorite, Lara?"

Lara was a little surprised, and she blushed a little as she replied, "Yellow roses are my favorite."

Tiger walked into the garden, with Lara at his side, looking at all the roses. Suddenly he stopped. Tiger walked between the rose bushes to a bush that was hidden in the back. When he returned, he handed a beautiful golden yellow rose to Lara. Lara was so happy that she was speechless. When she couldn't find the words to thank him, she just turned and threw her arms around his neck and gave him a quick kiss. Then she turned around and twined the rose into her long hair.

Since her back was turned, Lara missed the look that passed across Tiger's face as he put his fingers to his lips. Something about that kiss had seemed so familiar, but he didn't know why. For right now though, he was feeling unreasoning elation (at least, for Tiger it was unreasoning). He came out of the fog of his thoughts to find Lara far ahead, looking at some beautiful lavender roses. He ran to catch up to her and they headed for the next garden.

"Where was she meeting Tiger's Eye, Sol?" Rei asked as the entered the park.

"I don't know Rei, she didn't tell me where they were meeting. She just seemed to know where they were going to meet." Sol looked very worried.

"It's going to be okay Sol." Amy said, trying to console the cat. "We aren't even absolutely sure that this guy is Tiger's Eye. I mean if this were Tiger's Eye, then would he have asked about Lara's dreams or told her that his name was 'Tiger'? It just doesn't sound like Tiger's Eye. There is the possibility that this is just a huge coincidence."

Everyone just stared at Amy. Lita took charge of the group. "Okay people, let's spread out and find Lara. Keep in touch with the communicators."

The girls nodded and started searching for Lara.

Serena had woken up with one thought on her mind: Darien. She needed to talk to him about her decision, but once she did she could never go back. But she had already decided, so Serena cleaned herself up and left for Darien's apartment.

Darien was just winding down after coming home from work when there was a knock on the door of his apartment. He had the feeling that as soon as he opened that door, everything was going to change. He went and opened the door to see Serena standing in the hallway.

"Serena, come in. What are you doing here?" Serena didn't usually come over this early after work unless they had a date, and they hadn't had many real dates lately.

Serena looked at Darien, the man she was destined to marry and rule Crystal Tokyo with. "Darien, I need to talk to you about something, something really important."

Lara and Tiger had been walking through the gardens for a little over two hours. They had gone through all the gardens but one. This last one was a garden of assorted rare flowers. They walked along, Tiger's arm around Lara's shoulders. Suddenly Lara stopped, looking into the bed of flowers to their left. There, in that bed of flowers, the starflowers were growing.

Tiger looked over to see what had caught Lara's attention. "What kind of flower is that Lara?" He asked when he saw the starflower.

"It's called a Starflower. For some reason I feel like I've seen them somewhere other than here, but I know that I had never even heard of them before I came to Japan. They really are beautiful though, aren't they?" Lara smiled and looked up at Tiger as she said this.

Tiger smiled back. "They're almost as beautiful as your smile."

Lara hid her blush by going down to look at the starflower more closely. Tiger stood close behind her, enjoying the sight of Lara in the gardens. He was so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't hear footsteps close to him.

"Back off buddy! Step away from the girl!" *************************************************************
