Sorry I took so long to update! I discovered myspace & I had to study. In fact, I still am supposed to, but I decided to update. Hope you're still paying attention to the story. I don't own Sailor Moon. Also, when I mean 'reborn', I mean the last scout to be reawakened. I guess reawakened would be a better word, but oh well…
Serena wakes up, & rolls to her side. Groaning, she squints at her clock. '2:11' it read & Serena groaned again.
"Why can I not sleep?" she moans, staring at the ceiling.
'The dream' a voice in the back of her head said.
Serena shut her eyes & slapped her hand over it. "I know. I know. I just can't get it out of my head." Realizing she was talking to herself, Serena threw the covers off & got up.
"Maybe a walk will clear my mind." She snuck downstairs & grabbed her shoes & jacket. Slowly opening & closing the door, she breathed in the night air & began walking.
She didn't have any specific place to go, so she just walked. She ended up at the park she used to play at as a child.
"I haven't been here in a while." Serena walked to the swings & began to swing. Just as she was about to get past the top bar, she saw something from the corner of her eye.
Gasping, she stopped herself & watched as Tuxedo Mask walked over to her.
"Do you usually swing at 2am in the morning?" he jokes, sitting in the next swing.
Serena smiled. "Yeah, no line."
They both sorta laughed awkwardly, then an awkward silence befell them. Serena was the first to break it.
"So what are you doing here?"
TM began to swing, staring up at the moon. "Just needed to clear my mind."
Serena nodded, staring at her feet. "Yeah, me too." She watched as TM swung higher & higher.
"Be careful. You might…" But before she could get it out, TM jumped off.
Serena watched in awe as he landed gracefully on the top of the slide. "…fall." she finishes, standing up.
TM grinned down at her. "Worried?"
For some reason, Serena blushed. "Just a little." She walks over to the slide & begin to climb the ladder.
TM leans on the rail & watches as she climbs. "You know, you really shouldn't have been there yesterday."
Serena gets to the top & frowns. "Why? How did Sailor Fire know who I was?"
TM frowns & jumps down. "Don't worry about that."
Serena looks down at him. "Why not?"
TM begin to walks away. "Just don't. You better go home."
Serena refused to give up. "What about the girl with long blond hair & a long white dress!"
TM stops & Serena goes on. "Yeah, I know about her! Who is she?"
TM closes his eyes & groans. "You don't need to know about her." He begins to walk again.
Serena frowns. "I'm not giving up that easy." she said, sliding down the slide. "Wait!" She runs after him.
Against his own gut instinct, he stops. Serena catches up & pauses to catch her breath.
Once she was all caught up, she looked up. "She was in my dream. Both you & her. She said something about finding the Imperial Silver Crystal." Serena pauses. "Then I began to cry." Looking up at TM, she grabs his arm. "Tell me who you are & why you're here. And who was that little girl?" she screams, shaking him.
TM jerks his arm back & turns to her. "What little girl?"
Serena's mouth fell. "I tell you about the dream & you want to know about the little girl?" she asks in disbelief.
"Are you gonna tell me or not?" he asks.
"Don't have to be rude. Yesterday, after leaving the kids I was babysitting, I saved this girl from getting hit by a truck. Then she turned into a hideous monster & did this." Serena lifts her jacket & tank top & shows the scars.
TM grimaces. "Ow." He lightly touches it, causing Serena to wince. "Sorry."
She pulls it back down. "No prob. She asked me to help her, but I didn't know how to. She said use the crystal & I remember a bright light." Serena pauses.
TM waits for her to go on. Serena takes a breath & goes on. "She changed back & called me 'princess.'" She stops & looks up at TM. "What does that mean?"
TM stares at her hopeful face & sighs. "I can't tell you." He begins to walk off.
"Why can't you tell me!" Serena cries, but TM begins to run.
Serena screams after him. "You can't just leave me like this!"
TM shook his head & leaped onto a nearby building. Stopping, he turned & saw Serena's tear-stained face. "I'm sorry, Serena. Until later." he says to himself, leaping off.
Serena watched him go, then felt her cheek. "Why am I crying?" She looks the direction he went, then she stared at the moon. "What am I in all this?" Serena closed her eyes & began to walk back home.
I know! I know! Two months! Don't kill me! Just joking…almost summer, so I'll update like crazy then. RR!
