Title: Mixed Time

Disclaimers: I DON'T OWN Sailor Moon... IF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE READING THIS. Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi... I give full credits to her!!! Please don't sue me. All the other characters are made on the top of my head.

Okay, this is your Christmas present from Angel, Amanda! I hope you like it.

I've been reading Sailor Moon manga too. Ah, the good days…

Things are going to get a little complicated here (at least in the next chapter! ). Hehehe… Anyways, on with the story…

Last chapter:

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.

The view was very beautiful. It feels like she could touch the sky since she was so high up. The entire park can be seen from there. Although she was very happy with the scenery, the fact that she was stuck up there and the uneasiness that is created by the lack of knowledge of the drop is creating tears in the corner of her eyes.

Darien looked at Serenity in a worry. He never saw a girl he cared about cried. He looked down at the employees in the control room. The employees were panicking about what is going on. He looks at Serenity again in hope that she has calmed down a little.

"Serenity, its going to be alright," he comforts her.

Serenity nodded her head in understanding that he wanted to comfort her.

Darien let out a sigh as he reached for his cell phone. He dials and waited for somebody to answer the phone.

"What is going on down there?" he demanded.

"I'm sorry, sir. It seems someone has hacked into our security system. They also jammed every ride in the park," a man answered quickly.

"Send me a ladder up here. Make a way for 2 people to get down," he sends another command."

"Right away, sir," the man hung up the phone.

"Serenity, it's alright. They are going to get us down as soon as possible," Darien gently strokes her hand.

Tears slid down her face as she looks at him. She trusted him with all her heart, but being so high up from the ground is adding her fears.

Ten minutes has passed by as Darien comforts Serenity. A ladder is finally set up to get 2 people down at a time. Darien's and Serenity's seatbelt were opened as they get ready to go down the ladder. Serenity went first and Darien went right after her.

Darien embraces Serenity as soon as he gets down. He strokes her hair gently hoping her precious tears would not drop anymore.

"Is the hacker found yet?" Darien asked the person nearby.

"No, sir. He hasn't been traced yet," the person answers.

"Why not?"

"No body could trace him. The computer expert in the security system happens to be on holiday today, sir," the man explains.

Darien hesitated on what to do. He couldn't really abandon the park but Serenity needs comfort right now. The obvious choice is to stay with Serenity but he feels sad for all the other people that were looking forward to this day to play at the amusement park.

"Serenity, want to come with me somewhere for a little bit? I need to do something," Darien whispered to her ear.

Serenity looked up with her blue round eyes. "Go somewhere?"

"Yea, do you mind?"

"I don't mind at all," Serenity wiped her tears. Then she gives him a bright smile, even though a trace of fear still remains.

Darien smiles back at her. He takes her hand and leads her into the employee only room. At this point, Serenity was used to going through the white hall, but her curiosity rose.

"Where are we going now?"

"To the control room," he answers casually.

She understood that he was the prince of the earth in his last life, but she doubted he was recognized as one now. A normal person shouldn't be able to go to the control room. At least that was the way she understood it in her kingdom.

"You are allowed in the control room?" she asked making sure.

"Uhh, yea," he smiles mysteriously.

They stopped in front of a door. It didn't look like a normal door for it had no door knob. There was a dial pad and a card swipe on the wall next to the door. Darien takes out his card again and swiped it on the card swipe. Then he dialed several numbers on the number pad. The door splits open before them.

"Just like the old days," she muttered under her breath.

"Did you say something Serenity?"

"Uhh, nothing," she smiles innocently.

The door closes instantly after they stepped in. The screen on the surrounding walls turns automatically turns on.

"Please identify your self and input your password," Serenity reads out loud the writings on the screen.

Darien places his hand on a scanner and type in his password.

"Identity known as Darien Sheilds. Please identify the second person in the room," the speakers boomed.

Darien types more stuff into the computer. "Please input a new ID," the speakers announced.

"Serenity, can you put your hand on the scanner?" he points to the scanner.

"Sure," she carefully puts her hand so she doesn't smudge it.

"Thanks," Darien types more stuff in.

The screen took out a list of things needed to complete the date input. Darien typed everything in. Then the screen flashes and read 'Please input the Master Password.' Darien typed it in.

"Conforming identity. Ms. Serenity, is this the new ID?" the computer checks.

"Yes," Darien replies.

"Voice matches the Master Password. Please record Ms. Serenity's voice."

"Serenity, say something," he whispered slowly.

Serenity nodded in understanding, "I am Serenity."

"Voice done recording. The new ID has been successfully inserted. Welcome Ms. Serenity."

"Thank you," Serenity blushes.

"Please input a new command."

"Take over the main frame of the Golden Palace," Darien said in a hurry.

"Welcome to the Golden Palace Main Frame. Input your command."

Serenity watches Darien intently as he tries to get the hacker out of the main frame security system. She sat down on a chair near by as she lets him have his workspace.

After ten minutes, Darien successfully kicked out the hacker off the main computer. He was frustrated the fact that he could not identify the hacker that penetrated his perfect security system.

Darien sits on a chair next to Serenity.

"Sorry it took so long," he apologizes.

"Hmm, but why do you have to do it?" she asks.

"There is something I have to tell you. It's embarrassing for me to say it and well, only Andrew knows this," Darien hesitated.

Serenity raises her eyebrow. "A secret?"

"Yea, something like that. You see, I'm the owner of this park. Of course I have a partner. I'm not allowed to take full control until I graduate college. I also made several rides on this park too," Darien said blushing.

Serenity was silent. The news was sinking in slowly to her brains.

"WOA!!! You own the Golden Palace?! Exactly how many rides did you make?!" She suddenly screams out of surprise.

"18 projects successfully made by Darien Sheilds. Of course there are many more accomplishments by Darien Sheilds. They are all listed on the screen," the computer answers. All the screens were filled with names of the rides, restaurants, and etc.

Serenity was proud to know that he did all those things.

"Well, are you hungry?" Darien decides to change the embarrassing subject.

"Now you mention it, I'm starving," she exclaims.

"Let's go to a restaurant then," he invites her.

"Okay," she was sure that he was going to take her to the best restaurant in the park now. All her doubts were answered.

"Exit the main computer. Open the door. Self shut down in 1 minute," Darien input a valid command. The door opens as Serenity skips happily out.

Darien was glad that Serenity was back to her normal cheery self.

As they stepped out of the hallway, Serenity wanted to go to the restroom first. Darien waits in the front of the restroom patiently. He looked around and found a store that he wanted to go into.

Serenity

'Ah, I can finally relax now after that roller coaster. What a scary thing to invent! I can't believe he is the owner of the Golden Palace. Well, it does rightfully belong to him. I guess it all makes sense,' she thought when she was washing her hands.

She walks out of the restroom to find Darien no where in sight. She looks around in panic. This has never happen before. He always properly waited for her, at least in the past. Tears started to gather in the corner of her eyes. She feels lost and lonely just like before, when Luna wasn't there for her and she realizes that it was a completely different world without knowing where the ones she loves are.

She felt a tap on her shoulder. She turns around to find him there smiling like a little kid.

Darien

"Did you wait long?" he smiles. He felt stupid after seeing her tears.

"Where did you go?" she sniffed.

"No where. I just went to look at something interesting," he grins.

She knew very well that he was hiding something. She gets a feeling that times like this is when he sets up a special surprise, although she has never been close to guess what the surprise is.

"You are hiding something," she said bluntly.

"Well, you'll find out tomorrow. Let's go eat," Darien takes her hand.

Serenity lets him off the hook this time.

"Where-"

"Let's go on that ride!" Serenity cuts him off during his sentence. She recognizes right away that the name of the ride was on the list of things he made.

"Sure," he laughs light heartedly.

7:30

They went from ride after ride forgetting to eat. Serenity seems to be very interested in what Darien made. She loved all the rides except the fast, high, and scary ones. They went through every ride of the park by 7:30.

"We went through all the rides," Darien says laughing at the cute faces she was making because of the last ride.

"I'm hungry. We haven't eaten anything yet!"

"Well, you kept on wanting to go on rides after rides," Darien laughs. Every time she wanted to go on a ride, she begged him like a little girl wanting candy.

"Let's go to a restaurant off the Golden Palace then. I know this great restaurant," he smiles.

"You know a great restaurant or you own a great restaurant?" she teases him.

"Okay, so I own it," he reddens.

Serenity laughs. Darien looked so cute when he blushes.

Off they go to Dinner…

"An Italian restaurant, I'm impressed!" she smiles as she looks around the restaurant. It was a great fancy restaurant. Crystal chandeliers were hanging off the ceiling. Fresh flowers were at every table.

"Well, this restaurant opened three years ago. They have the best spaghetti meatballs! You should try it," he suggests.

The waiter comes to take their orders. Serenity ordered what he recommended of course. Darien orders the same thing. Their food came within minutes (probably because of the fact Darien owns the restaurant).

"Hmm, this is great!" Serenity exclaims as she slightly wipes her mouth with the napkin.

"You know, the meatball reminds me of your hair," he breaks out into laughter.

"How rude! My hair does NOT look like meatballs!!!" she insists.

"Sorry," he said although he was still laughing. "I couldn't resist. You look so cute when you are mad!" he said as he laughs again.

"Fine! Your hair looks like… like… arrrghhh!! Not fair!!" she pouted.

Darien continues to chuckle. It was the first time that the employees seen him so… happy. It was a rather joyous occasion for them.

A waiter came by bringing in their dessert. Serenity ordered the 'Supreme Chocolate Typhoon' (AN: made it up on the top of my head) and Darien ordered the 'The Ultimate Hot Fudge Ice Cream Sunday'. They had a competition of who will eat all of it first, and obliviously, Serenity won by a whole one minute.

Darien and Serenity walks out the restaurant without paying the bill. (How lucky!!!)

Serenity's Apartment

"Thank you Darien, I had a really great time today," she smiles brightly.

"Your welcome. Well, I had a great time too. It was the best time I've had," he grins.

"Well, see you tomorrow. I can't wait till the dance," she giggles.

Darien hugs her as opens her door to her apartment.

"And my hair does NOT look like meatballs!" she giggles and closes the door.

"Good night, princess," Darien whispers.

To be continued…

Yay!! One more chapter to go! One more chapter to go!!! Yay!!!!! I know exactly what happens and I already told someone too. It will be easier for me Well, it will be kinda sad for this story to come to an end. I'll miss this story XD By the way, you know a girl that I mention in the first part of chapter 4? You should know who that is, but I assure you, if you think it was Rini, you were wrong. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. (and its not Mina either!) Well, whether the fact I reveal who she is or not will not really matter unless I have a sequel anyways… So, I thank you guys who have been patient with me!
