Morning

"Luna, I won't be going to school today," Serenity said seriously.

"For once you are up before 6:30, and you are NOT going to school? I knew there was something behind it!" Luna said accusingly.

Serenity sweat dropped.

"Well, where ever you are going, Endymion is going to be there right?"

"Yea! He is going to take me to an amusement park!" she replied happily.

"I'm going to the bathroom first. Then I need to tell you some stuff," Luna said as she heads to the bathroom.

"Okay," Serenity replied from behind the counter.

Serenity looks at something. Then suddenly she remembers her dreams.

She had another nightmare.

DREAM

It was dark. People were approaching her. Yet she can't see their faces at all. The sky was dark, just like the Moon.

"Serenity! Be careful!" someone shouted.

"I'll protect Serenity!" a male voice said.

"We'll trust her safety with you," a female voice said.

"I'll give up my life protecting her!" the male voice said.

Then the scene went darker. The girls went somewhere else. The man that said that he was going to protect her was by her side.

"HAHAHAHA!!! THE LITTLE PRINCESS JUST DEPENDS ON EVERYBODY ELSE! NOW YOU HAVE NO MORE PROTECTORS! DIE!"

"You are wrong! She still has me!" the man shouted at the evil old lady.

"Why... It's the Prince! Prince you shall be with me! Rule the entire universe!

It shall be under our rule together! Join my side!"

"NEVER! I'll never join your side! I rather die!"

"Fine! THAT IS WHAT YOU PREFER! THAT IS WHAT YOU GET!!"

The evil old lady plunge a black energy sword at the man. There seems to be a barrier that stopped it. However, the barrier broke and the sword broke through. The man stood in front of Serenity. He protected her no matter what.

"Now that annoying shield is gone, you have no chance against me! JOIN MY

SIDE PRINCE!"

"I'VE TOLD YOU MY CHOICE! I'LL BE WITH SERENITY FOREVER!!"

"I've given you a fair warning!" the woman made a black energy swirl. Then she aimed it at the man.

The man held Serenity, shielding her.

"Serenity, I love you. No matter what happens I'll be there to protect you. I may be late, but I'll be there. I love you forever and always!" the man whispered to Serenity's ears. Then his weight gained. His body grew colder.

"I love you too! ENDYMION!!!!" Serenity cries desperately.

"HAH! NOW THERE IS NO ONE TO PROTECT YOU! YOU DON'T EVEN

HAVE A KINGDOM ANYMORE! GIVE UP THE CRYSTAL!"

"Is that all you care for? Power?" Serenity whispered with tears flowing.

"YES! GIVE ME THE POWER!!"

Serenity drew out the crystal.

'Send me to the future! Let me reborn them all! I don't want them to die! Let them be safe... please' she made a wish to the crystal. Then everything went whit-

Back

"SERENITY-SAMA!!!!" Luna screamed.

"LUNA! You don't have to scream you know! I can hear you perfectly fine! It's not like I'm deaf!!" Serenity screamed back.

"Well, you know what?! I've been calling your for 15 minutes now! It's not my fault that YOU can't hear me!!!" she answers back.

"Sorry, I was somewhere else..." Serenity said slowly.

"That's okay, I just want you to get my food out so then you won't forget to feed me after Endymion comes," Luna said seriously.

"Oh, okay," Serenity took her cat food and pour Luna's bowl full.

"Thank you," Luna went to her bowl and started eating.

"Your welcome," Serenity smiled at the sight.

"You have to be home before 10:00 p.m. today!"

"Really?! Thank you sooooooo much Luna!!!" Serenity hugged the cat.

cough cough "I'm still eating you know..."

"Well, if Darien comes, open the door for me!"

"I'm a cat!" Luna uses the excuse.

"Not anymore!" Serenity smiled and put her hand on her crescent moon.

Everything went white, and poof, there was Luna in her human form.

"Serenity-sama..." Luna almost chocked. Then she hugs Serenity.

"Luna, I'll be out in the balcony," Serenity broke the hug.

"Okay, I'm getting something to eat in the refrigerator," she answered.

Serenity heads out to the balcony. It was a little bit breezes. Her hair was flying everywhere. She loved this breeze.

'I wish this nightmare will stop... Why do I have to have it over and over again? Isn't one enough? I don't want to see them dying every single night...' another tear managed to slip down her eyes.

Darien

He finally arrived at Serenity's place. He looked up at her apartment and she was outside in her balcony.

'She is so beautiful...'

He heads up to her apartment. When he gets there, Luna opened the door before he ring the bell.

"Ohayo gozaimasu," Darien said politely.

"Oh, ohayo... she is out in the balcony," Luna replied.

"Arigato," Darien smiled.

He looked at Serenity. She is like an angel. Darien creeps up behind Serenity. She didn't seem to notice. He puts his hands around her waist.

"Whoa," she was surprise at the hands that encircle her.

"Ohayo," he gave her a smile.

"Darien, when did you get here?" Serenity looked too surprised.

"Just a couple minutes ago," he answered as he gives her a speck on her forehead. She enjoyed it greatly.

"Let's get going," she smiled at him.

"Sure. Did you eat breakfast yet?" he asks.

"Nope, but it's okay, I don't mind," she respond.

"Well, let's eat over there then," he offered.

"But isn't the food there expensive?" Serenity concluded.

"Not really," said Darien.

"I bet you know some good places to eat!" Serenity was all excited.

Darien chuckles at the sight.

"Well, let's get going."

Serenity and Darien stepped inside the apartment.

"Luna, I will be going home late tonight," she made sure Luna heard.

"Sure," Luna simply replies.

"Do you need anything? Because I can get it on the way or something,"

Serenity offered Luna.

"No, its okay. You two enjoy the day together! I need to find some things," Luna was happy to see Serenity this happy.

"Luna, I'm sorry that I can't help you with the search. I've been skipping all these time..." Serenity felt guilty.

"It's alright," Luna gave both of them a smile.

"I'll make sure Serenity stays safe," Darien promises.

"I'll hold you to that," Luna answers.

"Well, we will be going now Luna," Serenity says her goodbye.

"I'll take care of her," Darien said.

"Have a good time!"

"We will!" Serenity answers and went out the door with Darien.

A few minutes later Luna can hear Darien's car speeding away.

Then something on the floor catches Luna's eye. She picked it up.

"Golden Palace?" Luna picked up.

"Is this the ticket to enter? That means! Serenity dropped it!!

Now she can't go to the park... Well, I'm sure they'll figure something out!" Luna smiles.

Golden Palace Gate

"We are finally here!" Darien announced.

"I feel a little bit guilty that we are skipping school for this! It's kind of weird!" Serenity laughed.

"Don't worry! You need to loosen up once in a while!"

They were in front of the gate entrance. The tickets are being check now.

"Let me have your ticket please," the ticket guy said.

"Okay," Serenity put her hand in her pocket. She tried to feel the ticket, but it wasn't there.

"Did you drop the ticket?" Darien asked.

"Its strange, I put it in my pocket before we left my apartment. But

I can't seem to find it now," she panic.

"Well, let me take care of this then," Darien smiled at her.

Next, Darien handed the guy his ticket.

"You can go pass through now, miss. Have a great time," the guy said.

"But Darien, what about you?" Serenity said once she was on the other side.

"Don't worry," He smiled at her.

He took out his wallet and gave the ticket guy a card.

"You can pass through now. Have a great time," the guy said as he hand Darien his card back.

Golden Palace

Serenity looked around. It looked nothing like the REAL golden palace at all.

"So, which ride do you want to go to first?" he asked.

"I don't know. Should we take turn picking?" she suggested.

"If you put it that way, you go first."

"How about that one?" she pointed at the 'Space'.

The line is over an hour long even though it is on a normal weekday.

"Okay, let's go," he took her hand and head for the line.

"Do all these people want to go on the ride too?" Serenity asks as she observe the number of people that was present.

"Yea, I can't believe it is this crowded on a weekday. The lines are twice longer on a weekend. Let's go on a faster way," he flashes a smile at her. He went out of the line, taking her with him.

"Where are we going?"

Darien opens the door. On the outside it says 'Staff Only'. They enter a quiet white hallway full of doors.

"The ride is from here?" Serenity asked confused.

"Yea, just through here," Darien opens one of the doors.

A whole mass of talking can be heard as soon as they open the door. It looks like they went through the staff room and exited at the area of the ride.

"It's pretty!" Serenity exclaim as she sees the decorations.

"If you say that is pretty, you should go on the ride. It is many more times better than the decorations," he coolly stated.

I don't know how you entered, but you can't enter," a man wearing a uniform said.

"Can we go on the next ride?" Darien asked.

"As you can see, there is a long line. After you go through, you may go on the ride. If everybody cuts in line, what would happen, sir?" the man said politely.

"No body else is going to do this," Darien took out his wallet.

"Bribing won't work on me, sir," he said proudly.

"I'm not bribing, I don't bribe anybody, here," Darien handed the man the same card as before.

"Oh, sorry about this simple misunderstanding. The next ride will come in a moment. Please wait in the loading area, sir," the man looked nervous as he gives back Darien his card.

"Thank you," Serenity smiled at him in attempt to get him less nervous. She also thought he was the one that made this place and own it.

Darien put his arm around her slender waist as they wait for the next ride to come. Serenity leans against him for support.

"Hey, Darien..."

"Hm, what is it?"

"What did Andrew try to tell me yesterday?"

"It's a secret," Darien smiled.

"Your ride has arrived," the same man said.

"Let's go," Darien stepped in first and helps Serenity up.

"Thank you," she politely replies.

As soon as they are settled, Darien encircles her with his arms.

"Put your seatbelt on. Keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times. Do not stand up during the ride. Have a great time in Space!" the man send them off.

As the ride is out of sight, another man approaches the man.

"I thought you don't accept any bribes, sir," he stated.

"I don't. That was not a bribe. He was Darien Chiba," the man whispers.

"Darien Chiba? You can't really mean HIM," the under man said.

After the ride

"I can't believe it! The Space looked so real!!!" Serenity exclaims.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it!"

"It feels like you can almost touch it!!" she raised her hand as if she wants to reach the sun.

Darien smiles at her. She looks so adorable to him right now.

She looks at the sky. She misses the space so much.

'Right now is not the time to think about it...' she smiles brightly.

"So what ride is next?" she says to get her mind off the past.

"Hmm, how about that one?" he points.

"Sure!"

(AN: I actually wrote the scene about the ride, but then, it sounded too boring. So I decided it wasn't so necessary... I might make deleted scenes at the end... I'm not going to write about every ride, it takes too long. I'm going to skip right into lunch!)

1:47 pm

"Are you hungry?" he asks her.

"Hmmm, yea," she blushed as her tummy rumbles.

"What do you feel like eating? They have everything here," he smiles.

"I'm just really hungry. I can eat almost everything," she giggles.

Darien looks around for a restaurant. Serenity did too, and then something caught her eye. She saw an innocent girl that looks exactly like her, except she is younger. She was about 12 years old; at least she looked like it. Her innocence makes her look even younger than 12, but Serenity knew that the gold hair blue eyed girl was older. She was eating a pink cotton candy. Then the girl looks at Serenity right in the eyes. They even have identical blue eyes. (Hint Hint, that's not Rini! gives a mysterious smile)

Serenity was so surprised that she froze on the spot.

The girl tugs an older woman.

"Mommy, that big sister looks so pretty! When I grow up, will I look like her?" the young girl points at Serenity.

"I'm sure you will," the older woman smiles with gentleness.

Serenity smiles at the scene before her. She waves at the little girl.

The little blonde girl smiles brightly, waves back at Serenity, and went back to her father and little brother.

"Serenity, that restaurant looks good," Darien points at a decent restaurant.

"Oh, sure," she smiles brightly just like the little girl. She really didn't mind what restaurant he chose.

Darien blushed. He never saw her smiled like that before.

After Lunch

They were taking a walk around the amusement park. Then something caught Serenity's eye. It was a cute pink bunny stuff animal hanging on the walls of a booth.

"I want that," she pointed.

Darien followed where her finger was pointing at.

"You want that big stuff animal?" Darien asks astonished at her request.

"Yes, it is so cute!!" Serenity smiles delightfully.

Darien went to the games booth. He hasn't played these games ever since the last time he went here.

"It's a dollar for 3 balls. Get the one basket ball in the basket ball hoop and you will get the prize," the man announces. He looked a little bit surprised as he saw Darien. He had dark brown hair and dark eyes. His height is about the same as Darien's. The name that was on his tag that is attached to his dark blue shirt read Alec.

"How many balls do I have to do so I can get that pink bunny?" Darien asks making sure the rules haven't change.

"All three!" the Alec response as if it is an easy task.

"Okay," Darien hands him a dollar bill out of his wallet.

"Here you go," as Alec gives him a basket ball.

The first ball easily went through the hoop.

"Wow! Darien, you're pretty good at this!" Serenity praises his skills.

"Here is your second ball," Alec gives Darien his second ball.

Darien made it easily through the hoop again.

"Yay! Just one more to go!!" Serenity claps in his success.

Alec hands him another basket ball. Darien took a stance and aims the ball. As expected, it went in the basket easily.

"I assume you want the pink bunny?" Alec wanted to make sure that they didn't change their mind.

"Yes, please," Serenity answers happily.

Alec took down the giant pink bunny and hands it to her. She strokes the soft fur of the bunny.

"Long time no see, man. Where have you been?" Alec says to Darien with familiarity.

"School and other things," he replies with a smile on his face. He was glad that Serenity was smiling and hugging the bunny in her arms.

"Thank you, Darien!!" she gives him a hug.

Darien didn't expect her to hug him. It startled him at first, but he hugs her back in return.

Serenity broke the hug first as she saw another stuff animal.

"Darien! I want that one!!" she points a stuff animal panda on the next booth.

"Well, see you later man! It's nice to see you finally get a girl," Alec was proud of his friend.

"See you later! Which one do you want Serenity?" Darien looks at the direction she was pointing.

"That cute panda bear!" she grins happily in response.

They approach the next booth that had the panda bear.

"How do get the big panda bear?" Darien points at the stuff animal that is hanging above.

"You just need to put in 3 ping pong balls in the blue bowls. Its one dollar for 3 balls and 2 dollars for 7 balls," the booth attendant replies. She was a woman with black hair tied in ribbons. Her name tag says Crysie in black bold printed writing.

Darien hands Crysie two dollars. She gave him a bucket with 7 ping pong balls in it.

"Serenity, you try it first," Darien recommend her.

"But isn't if hard since they are always moving on the water? Plus there is only 3 blue bowls out of like 50 other bowls. I'll give it a try," she had determination in her eyes.

She threw the first ping pong ball. It bounced off a white colored bowl and floated on the water.

"Ah, you missed. You have predict where the blue bowls would go and aim for it," Darien gives her tips on how to play the game.

"I never thought of that. Thanks," she tries another attempt at this silly game.

Unfortunately, she missed again. The ping pong ball landed on the water 10 inches away from the blue bowl. She threw the ball too far.

"Since the ball is lighter than most balls, you should throw it a little bit softer," he explains.

"Ah, this is so hard!" she complained. Then she looked up at the panda bear she wants so badly. The eyes of the panda bear were calling her to hug it.

She tosses another ball. This time it bounced off a blue bowl and landed luckily on a red one. She bit her lip upon another failure.

"Well, it landed on a bowl," he tries to encourage her.

Serenity tries another attempt at the game. This time it landed on a white bowl. Serenity started to dislike the moving water.

"You can do it! Just concentrate a little more," he gives her an encouragement smile.

She hurls the ball again. This time she was sure it would make it in the blue bowl. Then a hard wind blew that made the bowl moved away faster and the ball landed on the water.

"Ahhh! Stop moving!" Serenity was irritated.

Darien chuckles at her cute attempts.

"I'll get it this time!" she declares.

Sadly, the ball was going to a different place than the blue bowl. It went to another white bowl.

"Here, I'll help you," Darien stands behind her. He moves her arms and the ping pong ball landed precisely on the blue bowl.

"How can you do it so easily?" she asks from amazement.

"Luck?" Darien guesses.

"Aww, but I still want that panda bear," she looks at the stuff animal.

Darien takes another dollar out of his wallet and gave it to Crysie. In return, she gave him three ping pong balls.

"Good luck," she smiles at him.

Darien tosses the ball and it still lands perfectly on the blue bowl.

Serenity watches closely at what he does.

"How come you make it look so easy?"

Darien grins as the second ping pong ball landed on the blue bowl.

"See, that's not fair! You must be using some kind of trick!" Serenity accuses.

"No trick, here you try the last one," Darien hands the ball to her.

"But, if I miss, your hard work will go to waste," she looks at him.

"Don't worry. I can always do it again," he smugly said.

"Hmmph," she tosses the ball without concentrating so hard. The ball bounced off a white bowl and landed luckily on a blue one!

A smile started to form on her lips. She finally did it!

"Yay! I finally did it!" she hugs him again.

"I assume you want the panda," Crysie said taking the panda off the wall.

"Thank you," Serenity says as she receives her 2nd stuff animal. She hugs the cute panda in her arms.

As soon as she looks up, she saw another stuff animal hanging on a wall waiting to be in her embrace.

One Hour and a Half Later

In Serenity's arms was the whole zoo. She had a bunny, a panda, a cat, a fish, a dog, a bird, a snake, a lion, a monkey, an elephant, an alligator, a turtle, a giraffe, a lion, and many more. Darien arms' were full of stuff animals too. (Darien happens to be a master at these games)

"I think we should drop these off in the car. I hope it fits," Darien comments.

"I guess so. They look so adorable!" Serenity gives them a squeeze.

Darien didn't miss a single shot at all. It's very impressive because they played over 15 games. Serenity wanted one stuff animal after another. She hugs him every single time she got a new one, which Darien considers as a reward for playing these games.

They started head for the main gate. Darien glances at the lockers.

"How about we have these stuff animals delivered instead of walking all the way to the car?"

"Delivered? How?"

"Come on," Darien started going to the lockers.

"The lockers?" Serenity was confused.

"Hi, I would like for these stuff animals to be delivered," Darien shows the stuff animals in his hands as he approaches the lockers information booth.

"Delivered? We don't do delivery," the lady kept on typing on the computer without looking up.

"Darien! Don't make a silly request like that. I don't think this is the post office," Serenity examines the place.

At the sound of his name, the lady looks up. She instantly recognizes the man with the stuff animals.

Darien smiles as she looks up.

"Oh, yes, we do special delivery. Sorry about that," the lady sends her deepest apology for her mistakes.

"See, they do delivery," he smiles confidently.

Serenity raised her eyebrow. She never heard of a post office in an amusement park. Sure, this is the first time she has been to one. Something fishy was going on.

"Would you like them to be delivered to your address?" the woman takes out a clip board and a pen.

"No, Delivery it to 328 Rose Garden apartment, Tokyo, onegai," Darien gives Serenity's address.

"When would you like it to arrive?"

"Hmm, Serenity, when would you like to see these stuff animals again?"

"Tomorrow?" Serenity says without thinking.

"Tomorrow then," Darien repeats.

"If the person doesn't receive it, we will send it to your address. You may leave the stuff animals right here," the lady points at the counter.

Serenity gently puts the stuff animals on the counter.

"Arigato gozaimasu," she smiles.

"Okay, now our stomach has settled down, let's play the scariest rides in the park," Darien declares happily.

"Scariest?" Serenity repeats making sure she heard him right.

Darien takes her hand without much thinking and starts to head to the fastest and tallest ride in the park.

There it was. Right in the center of the park was the ride they were going to. Serenity stared at the height and the fastness of the roller coaster.

"Darien, we are going on that?" she pointed at the ride.

"Of course!" he smiles and takes her through the 'Staff Only' door again.

"But-but what if we fall?" Serenity said slowly.

"Don't worry. We won't. The safety rate is 98.9," he assures her.

They enter one of the doors and found themselves in the staff area. Darien leads her to the place where the rides are.

"Sir, you don't belong here," an employee informs Darien as soon as he gets there.

Darien has no more patients with all these new employees. He took out his card and showed it to him.

"Oh, sorry about that, sir. The next ride will come in a few minutes," the guy slightly bows at Darien and gave his card back.

Serenity stares at the roller coaster. She wasn't sure anymore if she wants to go on it.

Darien moves closer to Serenity as they wait for the ride.

"Are you sure you want to go on this? You don't have to if you don't want to," he smiles in assurance.

"Hm, I'm not sure, but you are going on it too, right? I'll be okay," she smiles at him in return hoping to hide her fears.

Serenity watch as the ride comes closer as it slows down its speed. Her grip on Darien's hand tightens a little. Who wouldn't become nervous of going on such a dangerous looking ride?

"Your ride is here. Please step carefully and put on your seatbelt," the guy says it as sincere as possible.

Darien leads Serenity to the front of the ride as he helps her into her own seat before taking his own.

The other people started getting in their seats as the safety instructor gave them safety tips and rules.

"Enjoy your ride," the instructor gave the other employees the code to start the ride.

The ride started moving. It heads up in a 120 degrees angle. It felt like it was going 1 mile per hour to Serenity, which made her more and more nervous. As soon as they reached the top, Serenity shut her eyes tight and she held Darien's hand making sure that she won't fall off the ride.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAA! DARIEN! I CHANGE MY MIND!! PLEASE LET ME OFF!! NOwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!" Serenity's screamed could be heard all the way from the parking lots of the park.

Darien laugh light heartedly as he sees the cute faces Serenity was making.

The first fall was quite fast, but as they gain speed, the next drop was coming up. It was an upside down loop with a 90 degree drop.

"DARIIIEEEENNN!!!!" Serenity screams on top of her lungs as tears were gathering in the corner of her eyes.

This was the first time Darien enjoyed this ride this much. Although each time Serenity screams affects his ears, he still laughs after each drop.

The fifth drop was the highest, fastest, scariest, and twisted out of all the drops. If you pass it, the rest of the ride was a breeze.

Serenity did not dare to look any where at all. She closes her eyes shut as she waits for the deadly drop. A few seconds later, she felt that they were losing speed. Serenity waited and waited. Then she felt that they have come into a complete stop. She opens one of her eyes slowly as she checks her surroundings.

To be continued!!
