Summary: Everyone believes Raye is the Moon Princess they have been searching for. Darien's true identity is revealed as being the Prince of Earth. Will Serena's true form appear before it's too late?

"Ahem …" Raye cleared her throat soundly as she tried to grab Darien's attention, he didn't respond. "Darien?" she tried again, snapping her fingers in front of his face.

"Huh!" he finally spoke, looking surprised.

"Just trying' to get you back from TinkyWinky land, what're you thinking about?" she asked, swinging their joined hands to and fro.

Darien tried to hide the tell-tale blush starting on his face, "Nothing."

"Oh," Raye said, deciding to drop it. Looking up, she grinned widely as she saw the ice-cream van, "Darien, can we get ice-cream pleeeeeeeease!"

Darien didn't have enough in him to join in on her excitement, "Yeah, whatever."

Raye ran off ahead as she picked out her favourite ice cream. Just as she was about to tell the ice-cream man what she wanted, her communicator decided to start beeping. Looking at Darien with a surprised expression she ran off behind a bush as Darien occupied the curious man.

"Raye here, what's up?" she asked as Mina's slightly dazed face appeared on the device.

"We've got a little problem here, literally; we'll meet you at the shrine. Best get here ASAP, oh and make sure you bring Darien along with you, it's an emergency," Mina continued as the dazed look remained on her face.

Raye looked concerned but before she could press the matter further, Mina's face disappeared. Turning around, she gasped as she noticed the other figure standing behind her. Realising it was only Darien she grinned at her own idiocy before accepting the chocolate ice-cream he offered her.

"Not exactly my favourite type but it'll do," she said shrugging.

"Yeah, it's Serena's fav," he said unfazed before realizing what he'd just said, "Sorry, slip of the tongue."

Raye shrugged once again, "It happens," she muttered, "Anyhow, we're called at the shrine, and it's an emergency according to Mina so we might as well get a move on."

Darien threw his half finished ice cream in a near-by bin before taking his keys out. "You better finish that off quickly; remember our deal, no food in the car."

Raye pouted, "You're such a spoil sport!" she said, before she tried to finish her ice cream in record time.

Darien laughed as a memory of Serena, attempting to do the same thing, popped into his head. The only difference was that Serena was an expert when it came to the ways of food.

Raye smiled, it had been a long time since Darien had laughed openly.

A few minutes later, the black Porsche slid in front of the Shrine steps, Darien and Raye got out together. Looking up, they saw that the Senshi had formed a small circle and were staring curiously at something in front of them. Raye gave Darien a questioning look; he just shrugged as he headed up towards the small crowd.

"So, what's the emergency?" he asked upon reaching them.

They all gasped in unison before sighing; relieved.

"So?" Raye butted in.

"Look for your self," Lita said, moving out the way.

In front of them stood a tiny pink haired girl, about the age of four or five, with some sort of toy in her hand. Raye studied the little child, she reminded her of someone but she couldn't pinpoint the person.

The girl grinned widely upon seeing Darien and clung to his knees like a leech.

Darien stood, slightly in shock "Who's she?" he asked finally.

"She," Serena introduced, "Is your 'lovely' little daughter;" she emphasized the word 'lovely' as the girl stuck her tongue out at her.

"It's ok if you don't recognize me Daddy, Mommy told me you wouldn't. I'm Rini," she confirmed.

Darien stared before crouching down to her level, "Nice to meet ya, so where'd you come from?"

"The future," she answered, matter-of-factly.

"Oh," he straightened up, "So what're you doing here sweetheart?"

"Mommy told me that something was wrong, and if no one did anything, she was gonna be in big trouble."

"With who?"

"I dunno," she shrugged, "Hey, where's Mommy? She said she would be here."

Serena pushed Raye forward, "Try her."

Rini tilted her head, "She's not my Mommy."

A surprised gasp went around the group.

"Great! The twerp had a memory loss," Serena muttered.

Rini glared, "No I didn't actually, and Mommy looks nothing like her."

"What does she look like then?" Serena challenged.

"She's beautiful, she has got this long lovely silver hair, and though I don't wanna insult my Mommy, her hair kinda looks like yours," she pointed at Serena's head. "Anyway," she started again before Serena could get a word in edge, "She's got really light blue eyes and Daddy said she was the loveliest and prettiest woman he had ever seen," she finished smiling.

Everyone stood unmoving, no one spoke until a loud laugh was emitted from the group, "God Raye, I never knew you'd love me hairstyle so much that you'd keep it official," Serena spluttered.

"I told you she's not my Mommy," Rini bit before clinging onto Darien's legs again. "You know that don't you Daddy?" she looked up at him with confident eyes.

All Darien could do was look around for help, and help did finally arrive, in the form of two felines.

"Okay, what's this emergency meeting about?" Luna started, in a voice full off authority.

Rini spotted the cat, "Luna!" she cried happily as she ran towards the surprised cat. "And Artemis!" she picked the two cats up and hugged them.

"Erm … "Luna coughed, "Do we know you?"

Rini grinned, "Of course dummy, I'm Rini, remember?"

Luna coughed again.

"Oh! Don't worry, you don't know me in the past," she put the cats down.

Lita filled Luna and Artemis in on what was happening; they both looked shocked.

"But that's not right," Luna spluttered, "That's not supposed to happen. What could possibly be wrong?"

"According to our little Princess here, Raye isn't the Moon Princess," Mina supplied.

"She's not?"

"Uh uh, I know what my mother looks like and that's not her!" Rini scowled before entering the shrine. Mad that even Luna didn't know what her Mom looked like.

The rest of the group followed her.

"Ok, say we believe that Raye isn't Serenity, who is then?" Lita asked hurriedly.

Rini stopped and turned around to look at the curious crowd, "There's only one way of finding out."

"And what's that?"

"Come on, I'll show you."

10 minutes later

"So you're trying to tell us that that toy of yours is gonna help Darien know who the real Princess is?" Raye asked, still in slight shock that Rini didn't know she 'was' the real Princess.

"Yup, but Daddy's gonna stay there for a long time, to us it'll only be one day, to Daddy it'll be from the day he met Mommy till the day they were separated," Rini said, smiling at her own sheer brilliance.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Serena asked timidly.

"What do you take me for, of course it's safe!" Rini bit out.

"Sheesh, I was only asking!"

"So you ready, Darien?" Lita asked him.

"Ready as I'll be," he said.

"Good so on the count of three; after that, you'll sorta faint."

"What do you mean he'll faint?"

"Well, he'll be oblivious to the present," Rini explained impatiently.

"Okay, I'm ready."

"One, two, three!" Rini threw forward her stick, which extended; a bright light surrounded the room as everyone covered their eyes. A few minutes later, it cleared away leaving 6 incredulous people behind.

Rini grinned in self-satisfaction but it slowly began to diminish as she looked around the room.

The rest of the group slowly caught on as they looked questioningly at Rini.

"So, how come Serena's fainted?" Raye finally asked the slightly pale girl.

"Seems she shared a bond with Mommy; a very close bond," she added.

"So that might explain why she's Sailor Moon, maybe her and the Princess were really close friends," Amy said.

Rini looked up, "Maybe."
