Chapter #1 – The First Fight and A Strange Aura
One beautiful Saturday afternoon, Serena and Darien were out on a date and were walking through the city park. Serena was hugging his arm, and he wasn't paying her much attention. "Isn't it such a beautiful day Darien?" She asked him. Darien didn't pay the love struck girl any attention and noticed a bench beside the path where they were walking. "Hey lets sit here for a few minutes. I am tired! We walked around the park twice already today. Let's take a break!" He told her. She relied, "Sure! Whatever my man wants I will go! Plus I don't want to tire you out!" Serena said with a giant smile on her face. They then walked to the park bench and sat down. Serena started to ramble about some of the things that the other girls talked about when Darien wasn't around. Slowly, Darien started to get upset and said to her, "Serena please just stop talking! I don't care about what is going on with the other girls, but you always want to talk about them!" in a loud voice. Other people around looked at them and wondered what were going on and why he was yelling at her. Serena had stopped talking and gave him a puzzled look, "Is something wrong? You seem upset with me." She asked as tears slowly formed in her eyes. Darien then stood up and walked away from her, leaving her alone in the park. He didn't say anything to her, he just left and Serena stayed and watched him leave. Tears started to roll down her face as she watched him leave.
Serena stayed there for 2 hours and then she decided to go home. "Darien isn't coming back, I am going him Serena told herself as she was getting up, she also noticed that Amara and Michelle were walking through the park. "Hello my Kitten! Why do you look so sad? I thought you and Darien were supposed to be having a date today?" Amara asked Serena as she walked up with a sad expression on her face. Amara and Michelle were holding hands and then stopped in front of her. "Serena? Are you still here on earth or somewhere else?" Michelle asked with a smile. Serena then snapped back and replied to their questions, "Oh…. hi! I was with Darien, but he left me to wait for him and I decided that I was going to go home. How are you two?" She tried to put on a fake smile so that they wouldn't worry. Michelle and Amara looked at each other and both replied, "We are great!" Then after that they both smiled. "You shouldn't be walking out here alone like this. It's getting dark and late! I will take you home. I can't let my princess walk around in the dark all alone and by herself can I?" Amara asked with a smile to cheer up Serena. Serena nodded because she knew that they weren't going to let her walk alone home. Michelle asked Serena, "Are you alright? I don't think I have ever seen you this out of it!" She said as they walked to the car, "I am alright. Darien and I had a small argument and he left me alone in the park. That is why I am out late without anyone with me." Once they got to the car, Serena sat in the back while Amara drove and Michelle sat in the passenger seat. Serena told them what happened all the way home. Once Serena got home, she noticed that Darien's car was in the driveway. "Thank you for the ride! I owe you two!" She said as she got out of the car. "Are you going to be alright?" Michelle asked. "My little Kitten you have to take care of yourself! You are our princess and we can't let anything bad happen to you!" Amara said and waved. Serena waved back and replied, "I will be! I think Darien is here to talk about what happened today. I will be all right! You don't have to worry about me!" She smiled and waved as they drove off.
Serena then walked in to the house and said, "Mom, Dad, Sammy, Luna! I am back!" Serena said with a big sigh. She walked to the living room where Sammy was playing her Sailor V video game, Irene (her mother) Kenji (her father) and Darien were sitting around the table talking, and Luna was sitting in her corner of the room on he giant pillow bed sleeping. "What's going on? Darien why are you here talking to my parents?" Serena asked. He replied, "I am here because we need to talk about what happened today. It isn't right what happened so I want everything right again. Is there somewhere we can go so that we can talk in private?" She walked across the room and picked up Luna and told her, "I am home! Did you miss me?" Luna looked at Serena and whispered, "You love waking me up don't you?" Serena nodded, "You know I do, but I wanted to talk to you!" Serena picked Luna up and stood up and said, "Sure Darien, we talk up in my room." She turned and looked at Sammy who was still playing the video game, "Sammy, don't come upstairs until I tell you!" She told him. Sammy just nodded because he was so focused on the game he really didn't pay her any attention. Serena then turned to her mom and dad, "Let me know when dinner is ready and if you need me just call me." She said to her parents. Then she started to play with Luna who was in her arms and looked at Darien, "Follow me, we can talk now." She informed him. Then she walked out of the room, still carrying Luna, and Darien followed close behind.
Once they were outside of her room she looked at Luna, "Go sleep up in Rini's old room. So that Darien and I can talk! I know you like sleeping up there more that you do sleeping down stairs!" Serena said with a smile. Luna looked at Serena and nodded. She jumped out of her arms and started walking. "I will come and get you when dinner is almost ready." Serena told the dark cat. Luna stopped and turned around and replied, "You better let me sleep! You know I love to sleep!" she said as she stretched and walked up to the attic where Rini's room is. Serena opened the door to her room and walked in. Darien followed and walked in to the surprisingly clean room. "We can sit at the table and talk." Serena informed him as she placed her jacket on her bed then walked to the table and sat down. He then sat down across from her so he could be able to see her. "Serena I am sorry. I got upset and I know that I hurt your feelings when I didn't want to. I wasn't feeling like myself and I just didn't act like myself either." Darien said as he looked into her eyes that were beginning to tear up. With a smile on her face and tears in her eyes she replied, "I wish you could have told me that you weren't yourself instead of letting me upset you. We are supposed to tell each other everything." She said as her voice started to crack slightly. Darien got up and held Serena in his arms. "I promise never to hurt you like that again. I never want to make you upset or angry because you are too nice of a person to be hurt by anyone or anything." He said as he felt her tear drops fall oh his shoulder.
Then suddenly she broke away from him and along with the other scouts all over the earth and universe felt a strange evil aura heading toward the earth. "Serena what's wrong?" Darien asked her as she had a blank stare on her face. "I…I feel something…something evil, heading toward the earth. Like a new enemy!" She jumped up and ran to her bed where her communicator was in her bag to call the other girls but before she could Luna ran into her room in a hurry, "Serena did you feel that?" She said in a panic. Serena nodded and tried to call the scouts, but they had gotten to Serena before she could get to them. She had 6 messages one from each while she was talking to Rei. "We have to meet about this! I am worried!" Serena informed Rei. "We can meet tomorrow here at the temple. I will let everyone know!" Rei said as she beeped off. Darien walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her and said, "I won't let anything happen to you. I couldn't bear to be apart from you." He said as he leaned down and kissed her. "Serena…Darien….Luna….dinner is ready! Come on downstairs!" Irene said and was heard faintly from upstairs where they were. "Come on, we are gonna meet tomorrow about his strange thing at the temple, but for now lets eat!" Serena said as she picked Luna up, and grabbed Darien's arm and walked down stairs.
Mean while on a planet in another system, the Starlights were giving a special concert to the people of their planet when they felt the strange evil aura as well, that had a slightly familiar feeling to them……
