A/N: Wow much thanks to everyone who reviewed I never thought this story would be so popular. Well here's the next chapter I hope you guys enjoy it! Read and Review please!

When skies are cloudy and gray,
They're only gray for a day,
So wrap your troubles in dreams,
And dream your troubles away.

Until that sunshine peeps thru,
There's only one thing to do,
Just wrap your troubles in dreams,
And dream your troubles away.

Your castles may tumble,
That's Fate after all,
Life's really funny that way.

No use to grumble,
Just smile as they fall,
Weren't you Queen for a day?

Just remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain,
So wrap your troubles in dreams,
And dream your troubles away.

Serena heard that song singing in the breeze as she stood upon the roof of an apartment building. She had come up here to be alone and look at the stars, but the lullaby Queen Selenity used to sing to her echoed in her head.

"What do I do now Mother? I dreamed of Darien and he betrayed me! I dreamed of Nathan and he left me! What's left of my dreams? The only dream I have left is to return home…and it's destroyed. Your song lies Mother, all that follows the rain is more rain!" Serena shouted her fury out into the night. People walking on the street turned to look at her, including a pair of midnight blue eyes and a black cat.

Serena felt joy at the familiar beep of her communicator. She opened it to see the exhausted face of Mars.

"We've got youma and tons of them in the shopping district hurry!" Serena nodded and quickly transformed into Sailor Moon barely registering the changes to her attire. Her fuku now consisted of two colors black and silver. Her tiara disappeared to show her crescent moon, and she now held a staff black as night with the silver crystal encased in the top.

When she arrived at the scene the tired Senshi barely had time to register the shock at seeing a different Senshi as they tried to fight off the youma.

"And who are you? Another Sailor brat?" One youma called out to her causing the others to stop and look with curiosity.

"Don't you recognize Sailor Moon? But this time I fight for revenge against the love that was taken from me. You will shatter just as easily as my hopes and dreams." Sailor Moon's voice dripped with hatred and the Senshi looked at each other worried once again over their friend.

Moon Love Revenge!

Sailor Moon once again called out her powerful attack that seemed to rip right from her heart and come out of her staff to dust the youma closest to her. The other youma seeing the other dusted so easily came over to attack. Sailor Moon waiting till they surrounded her and then gave them a sickening smile. She knelt to the ground, her staff in front of her

Moon Nightmare Shatter!

Black shards burst forth from the crystal slamming into the youma surrounding her and dusting them.

Sailor Moon ran to her friends and Tuxedo Mask once the youmas were safely dusted.

"Is everyone alright?" Sailor Moon asked worried. And for the first time the Senshi could see the Serena inside this new Sailor Moon.

"We're alright. But what happened to you?" Sailor Venus asked still unable to get over Sailor Moon's new costume.

Sailor Moon looked away. "I am not longer the champion of Love and Justice. For I no longer believe in love. I lost my soulmate…" When she paused her everyone, including Tuxedo Mask thought she meant Nathan. "and then I lost the only person who made me feel loved enough to think that just maybe I might get over my heartbreak." A lone tear fell from Sailor Moon's cheek as she turned and walked away.

………………………………………………………………………………….

"Serena! There's a man here to see you!" Serena grumbled from her bed, not wanting to get up, but then she wondered who would be at the door to see her. Obviously someone who didn't know her for she would never be up at 10 in the morning if she didn't have to be.

Deciding she better not keep whoever it was waiting she used the luna pen to quickly get dressed and run downstairs. She saw a man in suit sitting on the couch.

"Here's my daughter." Irene said motioning the man to see the girl walking slowly down the stairs. The man stood up and went to greet her.

"Serena Tsukino?" She nodded slowly. "I have something for you from the late Nathanial Cross." He opened his briefcase and handed her a small envelope and a set of keys. "Mr. Cross didn't have any family, but a few months ago he created a will, leaving everything to you. There are the keys to his apartment, rent is payed till the end of April, his car and his motorcycle. I am very sorry for your loss. Please call my offices if there is anything you need."

Serena just stared at the man in shock. Nathan made a will? What 20 year old writes a will? One who knows he's going to die. Her mind couldn't take this thought. How could he have known? Why would he have gone through with it? Irene seeing her daughter's discomfort thanked the man and led him out.

"What does it say honey?" Irene asked her daughter softly reminding her of the letter in her hand. Serena opened the letter slowly and let her tears fall upon the page as she read.

My beautiful Serena,

I know you will probably never forgive me for leaving you. Yes I knew what was going to happen in Tokyo, but I also knew what would happen if I didn't go. I couldn't let you get hurt Serena.

Please don't be sad for me Serena, you were the only person that I was ever able to love, and I am glad I was able to protect you at least once.

Go back to your Prince Serena, I know your heart still longs for him. If he'll treat you right, let yourself be happy again, I could never stand to see you sad.

I will always love you Serena.

Nathan

Serena let the letter fall to the ground as she collapsed beside it crying. Her mother ran to her side comforting her daughter as she quickly read over the letter and felt tears coming to her own eyes.

"Oh Serena!" Her mother couldn't think of any other words to say as she simply held her crying daughter.

………………………………………………………………………………

Serena waited at the airport. She had wanted to go right back to America to take care of Nathan's things but her mother had reminded her of her friends coming to visit in a few days. So she made plans to return with them.

She played with Nathan's keys as she waited out side their gate. Somehow the familiar jingle did wonders to comfort her broken spirit.

"Serena!" Karen bounded out of the gate and ran to hug her friend. "I missed you so much Serena!" Serena couldn't help but smiled as she hugged her friend back. What was it about Karen that always cheered her up?

"Hey Karen! Aren't we allowed to get hugs too?" Alex called coming up behind Karen with Robert close by.

"Sorry it's against Japanese custom for women to hug men." Serena said as seriously as she could muster.

"Oh." Alex's reply was a mixture of disappointment and shame at now knowing her customs.

"Alex I'm just kidding!" Serena said as she wrapped her arms around him, and afterwards doing the same to Robert.

"So how about we grab a bite to eat?" Robert asked suddenly. The others looked at him strangely, usually it was Serena or Alex complaining they were hungry.

"Hey contrary to popular belief I have a stomach too, while it might not be as big as Serena's it does exist." Serena gave a small smile and led her friends to get their bags.

"Alright lets drop your bags at my house and then we'll head over to the Crown and get some food. Plus I have lots of people for you to meet there." The others readily agreed and it seemed like no time at all until they were all walking into the arcade.

"Hey Andrew!" Serena called as she walked in, leading her friends to a booth.

"Hey Serena! Are these your American friends?" Andrew asked motioning to the other three in the booth with her.

"Yep! Meet Karen, Robert and Alex. Karen's the female and well feel free to mix up the other two." Serena said with a small smile.

"Hey!" The two boys chimed.

Andrew laughed. It was good to see any sort of smile coming from Serena and he was a friend to anyone who could get her to smile.

"Here you guys stay as long as you like. Everything on the house, in gratitude for making my Serena smile. It's been so long since any of us have been graced with it." Andrew leaned to give Serena a kiss on the forehead before taking their orders and running off to get their food.

"So I guess you haven't been doing too hot." Karen said softly. Serena shook her head no.

"No matter we'll cheer you up right after…." Robert broke off not knowing if now was the time to mention their visit to Nathan's grave.

Serena held up her hand to show it was okay. "We'll go after we eat." The trio nodded and the conversation became lighter as their food arrived.

……………………………………………………………………………………….

As they approached Nathan's grave Serena saw an all too familiar figure kneeling by it. Darien! What was he doing here? Serena held her fingers to her lips and led them to hide behind Darien so they could hear his words.

"She's so hurt Nathan. I know you would find some brilliant way to sweep her off her feet and cheer her up. I can't imagine what you did to win her over. She's right when she says I betrayed her, I…I just didn't want her to go and I just couldn't think about her hiding so much from me." Darien wipped a lone tear from his eye before he continued.

"Maybe I did take her for granted but she was always so busy rushing to this and that I thought it was all excuses. If she'd only told me or if I'd just known her well enough to ask I could have been there for her like you were. I would have given my life for her without a second thought, but showing her how much I loved her….I wasn't ready to do that, I was too afraid. I've lost everyone I've ever loved, but you overcame that and you treated Serena like she's supposed to be. I have the courage to show her now, if she'll ever forgive me." Darien as always brought a rose out of nowhere to lay on the grave.

"A debt I can never repay." He said softly as he gently tossed the rose upon the grave before leaving.

"Serena! That's Darien?" Karen asked looking at the incredibly handsome and distraught man walking away. Serena nodded thinking about all Darien had said.

Go back to your Prince Serena, I know your heart still longs for him.

Serena squeezed back tears, did Nathan know this as well? Did he know Darien's feelings when he wrote that note?

Serena stood back while the others paid their respects to Nathan. Today she did little more than leave a rose. She had too many questions and too many thoughts running through her head to talk him now.

The week flew by and despite her friends' insistence she stayed away from Darien. She just wasn't ready to face him yet, nor was she ready to give up Nathan.

At the airport this time all of her friends showed up, Lita, Ami, Mina and Raye promised to come visit in the summer, and her family said they might do the same. Serena hugged them all goodbye and felt sadness that Darien didn't even come to say goodbye.

What do you expect you've been avoiding him all week. The annoying voice within her spoke. Andrew ran up to them and gave her a letter and a box.

"I'm gonna miss you so much." He said giving her a big hug. "I'll be up as soon as I can. The box is from me and the letter is from Darien. He's really sorry he couldn't be here." Andrew said noticing her glance at the packages he handed her.

"Thank you Andrew, I'm going to miss you too." Serena and her friends waved goodbye and boarded the plane together.

"So…what does it say?" Karen asked gesturing to the letter in Serena's hand. Serena shrugged and put it aside, deciding instead to open the package from Andrew. In it was a framed picture of all of them during one of their famed get togethers at the arcade. She was squished inbetween the loving arms of Darien and Andrew, while Ami, Raye and Mina sat on the other side. Lita always the rebel was sitting on the edge of the table. She wiped a tear away as she thought about how much she would miss them all.

"Wow you guys must have all been really good friends." Karen said looking at the picture that looked like it had been taken years ago. Serena nodded and placed her hand on the letter from Darien. She remembered the letter from Nathan and wondered if she was strong enough for this one.

My dear Serena

I know I could never fully express my feelings for you. I never took the time to show you just how wonderful I thought you were…I didn't tell you that you are my whole world. I didn't tell you how much I loved you when I had the chance.

I don't blame you for leaving, in fact if you stayed you probably would have been miserable with me for the rest of your life. I never imagined what it would do to my heart to lose you, it was worse than I had ever feared, mainly because you left without knowing what I felt.

I love you Serena. I'm not afraid of saying it anymore, I'm not afraid of letting the world know that my soul will always be yours. I'm not afraid because the thought of living a life without you knowing all this is even more unbearable than knowing that you don't return my love.

I always thought that with our past, you would just know my feelings, and that way I wouldn't have to put my heart on the line to tell you. Endymion was always braver than me, but right here in this time I love you more than I ever thought possible, even more than I did a thousand years ago.

I will love no one but you and I await the day when you can love me back once again.

Eternally yours

Darien

Once again Serena felt tears well up in her eyes. He loved her. He truly loved her, but she still wasn't ready. Not yet. She hoped it was true that he would wait for her, because as she read the letter she knew that she would love no one but him.

A/N: Wow I have a lot more planned out in my head but I thought this chapter was getting kinda long. Sad too because I was so excited to get the point where Serena has this whole rogue moment and goes riding on the motorcycle. Mwhahaha Yay! Please Review!
