I Do Not Own Salior Moon

The Past:

"Hey here comes Temple!" A large guy jeered knocking Serena's books into the mud.

Three other guys laughed as she tried to pick up her soiled books. Amongst them was the most handsome person Serena had ever seen. With black glossy hair and deep emerald eyes, his body would have put Adonis to shame. And his smile…

"What's she staring at? A tall lanky boy asked, "What's wrong with her," He pushed Serena into the mud along with her books. Other people laughed as they walked by. Serena got up collected her muddy books and made her way to the lecture hall. Tears cleaning a thin path down her face.

The rest of the day was a blur of pointed fingers and hushed whispers and complete embarrassment. Covered in mud she was subject to public humiliation, walking from one lecture to the next.

And Mike and his friends had only stared.

And the Present:

"Come on Rena!" Mina was in the front room adjusting her costume and checking her watched. She looked gorgeous, in a pale orange mini dress with flared skirt and spaghetti strap sleeves, with a tiara and ballet shoes. A peachy mask completed the costume. "Rena! Today would be nice!"

"I can't get this bloody thing on!"

Mina went to help Serena, but stopped short when she saw her. Serena was transformed. In another mini dress this one in soft cream and silver stitching, cream ballet shoes lightly dusted with silver and a cream mask with intricate silver designs. She was struggling to put on her tiara without spoiling her perfectly curled hair.

"Are you going to stand there looking stupid, or are you going to help me?"

Mina laughed softly as she helped Serena with her tiara. Parties always made her snappy. Mina knew right from the beginning Serena didn't like parties, clubs or any other form of fun. She was more the studious type. And she had to be. Her whole life basically depended on it. "There done. You look fantastic. Just one more thing," Mina took her silver eye pencil and drew a crescent moon on Serena's cheek. "There now you really are the moon princess!"

Serena smiled, "What about you, Your Royal Highness? Aren't you going to put a Venus on your face too?"

"No I'll let you be the freak in this pair," But she picked up the red eye pencil and drew a love heart on her cheek, "That will just have to do, Venus the goddess of love"

The Moon and Venus Princess exited making their way to Michael's Mansion. Serena had never felt so… so… magical in all her life. Mina had outdone herself when she ordered the costumes they were supposed to match along with Rita as Princesses of different Planets and in her case moons. Rita was meeting them at the party as the Princess of Jupiter. Serena shuddered. She couldn't remember the last time she went to a party and though she was excited her anxiety overtook it. "What kind of party are we going to?"

Mina looked at Serena in a understanding manner "It's a masquerade ball, his parents are away and he want to open the party season with a unusual theme,"

"How exactly do you know this Michael?"

"Everybody knows Mike. He is at all the parties and hotspots. Come on,"

Darien was dancing with a red head who was dressed up as prostitute and acting like one too. He could see that she wanted it. Badly. Darien smiled, that was defiantly in his expertise. But then quite suddenly he felt something. A stirring in his being. Something was going to happen he didn't know how he knew, but he did. And then it happened. He saw her the sparking vision glide into the room. The lights were dimmed and he couldn't see her every detail, but she seemed to radiate beauty.

He had to know her.
