End Rant

Begin Story

Sailor Mars' protest brought Serena and Darien out of their reverie. Andrew looked over to his sister and she nodded her reluctant consent.

"Yes Senshi it is by far time you learned all about your past and what has happened since you were reborn on Earth. But let us wait Serena no doubt must check up on her people because no amount of assurance from me will make her believe that everyone is fine. Then we will take while I strap her down to put something on those wounds of hers."

Serena glared at her brother, she didn't want Darien or anyone else to worry about her, or to know that she had almost been beaten by such a simple foe.

"Fine I will sit for your minstrations dear brother but tomorrow we train, while I am gone send for swordmaster and have him here in the morning." She turned toward her dear friend Luna who had just come down from the castle with Artemis. "I trust that you will continute the rest of my training?" Luna nodded.

With that Serena walked out from the castle and toward the center of the courtyard.

"She is connecting with the moon and checking that all of it's children are well. We will know soon enough if anyone has been hurt on this night, for you will never see Serena more angry than if she was unable to help her people in time." Andrew shook his head it was high time he got used to calling her Queen Serenity, that was what she was here for after all, but like the others he had become used to her being known as Serena, plus she would always be his Reny.

Serena walked back to them, paler than before but with a relieved smile upon her face. "All is well my friends, come let us retire into the castle in front of a warm fire. Raye, Ami, Mina, Lita, Darien all of you will be shown to your rooms first so that you may change into more suitable attire." The girls all seemed relieved for it was obvious by the way Serena and Andrew were dressed, and even the way Luna and Artemis were dressed that their informal Earth clothes would not be suitable for Princesses.

Once all were dressed in flowing but comfortable gowns they all went to meet Serena and Andrew who, as promised, had a warm fire going in the study. And Serena, as promised, was trying to sit still while Andrew bandaged her wounds. Luna and Artemis also sat by the fire, glad that it would be Andrew and Serena telling the story and not them. Darien took a seat close by Serena and the two held hands, Darien could not help notice that she was shaking.

"As you all must have figured out you are here in the Moon Kingdom, the same one all of you left over a thousand years ago." Andrew began finishing the last bandage on Serena and smiling as Endymion immediately took her into his arms.

"But I thought the moon kingdom was destroyed." Ami spoke up while taking a cup of something warm and smelling like chocolate from a butler near her.

"It was." Serena spoke up from her place next to Darien. "Andrew and I have spent years rebuilding it and reawakening the children of the moon. It is nearly identical to the one we grew up in…" Serena and Andrew shared a glance that told of what the castle was missing: their beloved mother.

"Reawakening? Weren't they all sent to the future like us?" Ami asked again always the inquisitive one, thinking ahead and remembering things the other didn't.

"Not everyone was sent to Earth, most were frozen in time to await the return of the Princess. The rest of you, the Queen thought she might spare from this life and leave you to make your own decision when the time came."

"So why didn't you ever tell us Serena? If you knew this whole time even before Tuxedo Mask found the silver crystal why didn't you tell us?" Raye asked annoyed that for once she knew less about something than Serena.

"Because I wanted to wait and let you be able to make your own decision about the life you want. Ami you want to be a doctor, Raye you want to be a singer all of you have your own dreams that do not involve any of this…even you Darien." Serena looked over at him sadly she wanted him to stay almost as much as she wanted him to leave. She didn't know what would make him happy.

"Serena my dreams have always changed and they'll continue to change, but the only thing that remains constant is you, and I will go wherever you are." Serena smiled and wondered if he any idea what he was promising himself into.

"But Darien you don't even remember who I am, who I really am." She looked down the hallway where one of the palace workers was gesturing to her, and before Darien could muster an answer she went over to him.

The group huddled around the fire could not hear the heated exchange between Serena and the man who was obviously the bearer of uncommonly bad news. The only thing that was said loud enough to be audible to the group was Serena shouting "Fine put their horses in the stables and find them rooms. Prince Andrew will handle it in the morning, I need more time before I deal with this."

She turned away from the man and shot a venomous glare at Andrew and then proceeded to the balcony. Darien moved to go after her but was stopped by Andrew
