Jeez, that last chapter turned out more dramatic than I intended. Oh well. I don't own Sailor Moon.
Serena ran down the street, dodging people, with one thought in her mind. 'Find Darien…Mamoru…whoever he is!'
She ran right past the orphanage, but skidded to a stop. Standing in front of the orphanage was Andrew.
"Andrew? Andrew!" Serena called, walking over.
Andrew looked up at the blond girl, shocked. "Serena?"
Serena ran up in front of him. Taking time to catch her breath, she finally asked. "Have you seen Darien?"
Andrew's face registered surprise. "What…?"
Serena shook her head. "I already know." she interrupted him.
Andrew stared at her, then gave in, sighing. "I'm surprised."
It was Serena's turn to be shocked. "Wait, you knew?" she narrowed her eyes.
Andrew nodded. "Yeah, but I was sworn to secrecy."
Serena walked up closer to him. "By who?"
Andrew laughed. "If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret."
Serena pouted, but laughed as well. "I guess so." She became serious. "But do you know where to find him?"
Andrew shook his head. "No, sorry." He turned to walk back, but Serena grabbed his arm.
"What are you doing her anyways?" she asked.
Andrew stiffened up. "Um, I can't tell you…" he tried to get out of Serena's grip, but she wouldn't.
"Why not?" she persisted.
Andrew shut his eyes & ripped his back. "I just can't!" he yelled, spinning around. When he saw her face, his heart fell to his stomach.
Serena stood there, hands still in the air from gripping. But her face registered shock & hurtness. Her blue eyes were wide & glistening with unshed tears & her mouth quivered.
"Serena…" Andrew started, reaching out to her, but she wouldn't let him. She stumbled backwards, shaking her head & turned & ran.
Andrew watched her go, resisting the urge to run after her down. Taking a deep breath, he walked to the front door & knocked.
Serena ran blindly down the street, tears streaming down her face. 'How could he yell at me?' she sniffled. She dodged people, but didn't slow down.
She finally slowed down when she arrived at her old elementary school. "This is where it all started…" she wiped her tears & walked over to a swing.
"This is where I first met Amy & Darien." she began to swing higher & higher. When she got as high as she could go, she jumped off, landing gracefully on the tanbark.
She heard clapping & turned to see Darien standing behind her, smiling. Her eyes teared up again & she ran to him.
He embraced her as she sobbed into his jacket. "It's fine, Serena. I'm sorry I had to leave, but I'm here to stay."
Serena nodded & pushed herself away from him. "I'm just glad your back…Darien." she smiled.
Darien smiled back. "How's Sammy?" he changed the subject.
Serena brightened up. "He's fine. He woke up."
Darien laughed at Serena's happiness. "I'm glad he's fine. I'd like to meet him one day."
Serena nodded. "You will."
They stood in awkward silence until Serena finally broke it. "Wait, how'd you know I knew?"
"Andrew called me." Darien said simply. "By the way, he's sorry for yelling at you."
Serena grinned. "No prob. Um, do you know why he was at the orphanage?" she asked, trying to change the subject.
Darien became quiet, so Serena quickly covered herself. "I mean, if you don't want to talk about it…" she started, but Darien interrupted her.
"Serena, there's something I need to tell you." he started, guiding her to a bench.
Serena nodded & they sat down. She waited for him to continue. After a few moments of silence, he went on.
"I'm never known who I am or where I come from. I'm not even sure my real name's Darien."
Serena gasped, but let him go on.
"I was orphaned in a car crash when I was 7."
Flashback Mode
"Complete amnesia. No memory at all & no known relatives, so we should arrange for an orphanage." a doctor said to a nurse.
"Who am I?" a boy in a bed asked. "I don't remember. Darien? Is that my name?"
End flashback
"I've been living at the orphanage since then." Darien finished, looking upward.
Serena stared at him, wanting to say something, but nothing came to mind. "I'm glad you told me. It must be hard."
Darien looked at her, "I get clues."
Serena nodded, looking downward. "OK, um…" she looked around. "Wanna swing?" She cringed at her lack of changing subjects, but Darien surprised her again.
"Sure, let's go." he grabbed her hand & they ran to the swings. They swung as high as they could, laughing like carefree children.
"Seems the two lovebirds have found each other." a voice said.
"We must attack soon." another spoke.
"But Master says…" the first voice started, but the second one cut it off.
"It doesn't matter! Master doesn't want them getting their true memories back, so we'll take care of them before that happens."
The first voice sighs, but gives in. "Fine."
Awww, that was so cute. Please RR
