Thanks to all you wonderful reviewers you are truly an inspiration.

Okay I know, you're all mad at me, I'm two months and three days past when I said I would post. I actually had the first part of the chapter written before June, but I knew you wouldn't be happy with barley two pages, so I held it off. I almost posted just he first half, then I managed to write the entire rest of the story last night.

You can all Thank Caytlyn Rose, if it weren't for her getting this back to me so quickly I wouldn't have posted it this early. So please give her thanks, she's a way awesome beta reader.

Thanks to everyone and I hope this chapter was worth the wait.

-------------------------------------------

Darien had looked at me as if he was seeing me for the first time. He had been through so much in just one day. At least, I thought so. Flickering memories of me and then I was gone, at least that something of what he had said. Dinner had been quiet after our conversation on the balcony.

The conversation had ended with my question about the dress. His last words had been that he wished to remember me. He had placed his hand on my cheek and stared into my eyes.

"Why must you always flutter around in my memories and then disappear as if you never existed?"' he had asked me. I couldn't explain it. I did not know why he was suddenly regaining his memories, in all honesty. Heck up until I met him in the Arcade, I had thought him to be dead. Finding him alive made me happy and caused a little relapse of my old accident prone self.

I stared out of my bedroom window and looked at the waning crescent moon. I smiled at my memories of this evening. Darien had been quiet throughout the dinner, but it hadn't lasted long. He had been paged to go into work. It seemed as if Darien might be busy for the next four days.

Tomorrow I am to meet the girls. I had called them shortly after returning home. Darien had insisted on driving me, telling me it was too late for me to walk home. He had been a perfect gentleman and had livened up slightly in the car. We talked about nothing in particular and the ride had seemed far too short. I remember the walk from the car to the door very vividly.

"Flashback"

Darien had insisted on opening my car door for me and walking me to my door. I smiled at him when we reached the door.

"Thank you for dinner Darien! It was wonderful and I'm sorry I made such a mess." I spouted, nervous as all get out.

Then Darien too my hand and kissed the back of it. I stared at him, blushing. I think it showed in the light from the porch. He held my hand for a moment, looked at me, and smiled. I returned his smile. I didn't know what to say. No one had ever done that before. I thought it was sweet and hoped that it meant that someday we might be more than friends.

"I don't think I told you..." He began, stroking the back of my hand with his thumb. He looked at me with a slight smirk on his face.

"Yes?" I asked breathlessly. He bent over and whispered in my ear, words I had been longing to hear.

"That, that dress is absolutely gorgeous on you!" He said smiling and winking at me.

My blush deepened, if that was possible. I wanted to melt, the look in his eyes, were so tender that any girl would have. My knees wobbled slightly and I had to lean on the door for support. The man of my dreams was alive and standing on my door step. I was in absolute heaven. His smile was something that I had longed to see since I was reborn. It was hard to look at him anymore, even though it was what I always wanted.

"Thank you Darien!" I replied looking down at the door mat. He had gained another point. But I truly didn't seem to care about that anymore. Darien had shown me tonight that he wanted to remember me and that would be my first priority.

"Serena!" He spoke. I looked up and he smiled at me again. "I'll see you around, right?" He asked.

"Definitely!" I said my smile growing wider. "See you later Darien!" I said becoming brave. I stepped forward, pulled my hand from his grasp, causing him to look at me, reached my tip toes and kissed his cheek. I smiled at him quickly and spoke fast.

"Thank you again for a lovely dinner Darien and everything you did today." With that having been said I opened the door and walked inside. The look on Darien's face after I kissed him was slight bit of shock mingled with a half smile. I leaned against the door for a moment and relived that moment. His face after the kiss made me smile and my eyes dace with laughter.

I was now even more determined to help Darien remember me. I then pushed my self off of the door and walked up to my room. When I reached my room I walked straight to the window and looked out. Darien was looking right at me from the door step. As soon as he caught sight of me he waved and smiled. Then, after a moment and my return wave, he went to his car, backed out of the driveway and drove off toward the hospital.

"End of Flash Back"

I yawned as I relived what happened only about an hour before for the umpteenth time. With the second yawn that followed I knew it was time for bed and knew that I would have wonderful dreams.

I strode to my bed, turned off the light, opened my locket from a thousand years ago and drifted off to sleep to the sweet melody. I dreamed of Darien, my prince.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun streaming through the curtains woke me out of a peaceful dream. It had been a dream about Darien and I back during the silver millennium. Whether it was a dream or a past memory I wasn't truly sure.

Out of all the scouts I alone remembered my past and being a scout. Amy, Lita, Raye, and Mina looked at me as if I was insane. Especially Mina when I told her she was Sailor V. She had laughed hysterically for about five minutes after I told her. I should have known something was wrong since Luna and Artemis had disappeared shortly after we were reborn.

I had cried for days over Luna. Mom had told me that I never had a cat, but she did her best to comfort me. Luna may have been a nag, but she was still family. I sat for a moment in silence thinking of her and a sudden longing to pet her ran through me. She had always comforted me when I was sad, unsure or not feeling well. She had been a wonderful and annoying guardian.

I looked at the clock and bounded out of bed. I was going to be late. I dressed, crashed out of my room, fell head first down the stairs and managed to land in front of the door and not be hurt. I picked myself up and dusted myself off. I may feel fine now, but the bruises tomorrow are going to hurt. I dashed out the door and down the empty drive way. Mom and Dad weren't back yet. I thought of leaving a note and looked at my watch. No time for a note.

Time for the, 'Serena Relay'. I dashed down the sidewalk toward the arcade and kept checking my watch for the time. I wasn't doing too badly, I was only going to be a few minutes late. As the arcade came into view I smiled and pushed my, out-of-breath, self to run harder. As I closed in on the door I glanced down at my watch and crashed into someone before I could even read the numbers on my watch. 'Oh Crap another bruise for tomorrow!' I thought.

Suddenly a pair of familiar arms wrapped around me and pulled me back up to my feet. I was a bit shocked and had to shake my head from its stupor. I looked up and smiled broadly.

"Thanks Andrew!" I cried looking into the eyes of the blonde haired man who had run the store when I was fourteen. It wasn't quite who I hoped it to be, but still, better than a bruise.

"No problem, Serena." He said making sure I could stand. He then removed his arms from around me and I walked into the arcade beside him.

"Andrew! I thought you were leaving?" Spoke the voice of the man that I remembered well from last night.

"I caught Serena outside, literally and decided to walk her inside." Andrew chuckled.

"You're going to be late, for class, Andrew!" Darien said tapping his

watch.

"I'll see you around Serena!" Andrew called checking his own watch and running through the door.

"Bye Andrew!" I called, watching him leave. I then turned my attention to Darien and smiled shyly.

"I figured you'd be at the hospital, after your emergency call last night." I said walking over, momentarily forgetting about meeting the girls upstairs. I stopped next to Darien's stool. He sat in the same stool he had when I was younger.

"Actually they paged the wrong Doctor last night. When I walked through the door, the receptionist apologized. She had called me instead of the on call doctor last night." Darien chuckled.

"Oh that's cool!" I said awkwardly. I didn't know what else to say.

"Serena!" Came a squeal I recognized as none other than Mina.

I turned around just in time to be glomped by her. I enveloped her into a hug and chuckled. I had managed not to fall into Darien. He looked at us a little surprised. Mina released me and looked at Darien as if she didn't know him.

"Mina, meet Darien, Darien this is one of my friends Mina!" I said.

Mina continued to stare at him shocked. I stared at her a moment, then bent over and whispered in her ear.

"What's up Mina?" I asked. She took her eyes off Darien and looked at me.

"Serena! Why do I feel as if I know him?" She asked suddenly, reverting back to the self that had only come out when she was Sailor Venus. I was shocked for a moment, but covered it quickly.

"Is there anything wrong?" Darien smirked.

"No!" I turned around quickly and naturally tripped over my feet and landed in Darien's lap. I felt Darien chuckle as I blushed crimson. I pushed my self off his lap and apologized. He appeared to be watching me closely and I couldn't handle the look he was giving me.

"I'll see you later, Darien!" I said turning around quickly and pushing Mina toward the stairs.

"Serena! Who was that handsome gentleman?" Mina asked, out of his ear shot, when we reached the stairs.

"His name is Darien Shields!" I said moving to walk beside her instead of shoving her.

"How do you know him?" She asked smiling as if she knew what was going on between us.

"I met him yesterday, I bumped my head pretty badly and he was the doctor who took care of me, now lets get up stairs, we're way late!" I spoke beginning to run up the stairs. Mina said nothing, but I had an idea of what she was thinking.

I reached the top of the stairs and looked around and found Amy, Lita and Raye sitting in a corner booth. Mina and I walked over to them.

"You're both late, as usual!" spoke Raye, appearing to be more irritated than she should have been.

"We were a bit detained!" Mina gushed happily. Lita and Amy quickly rushed to give me a hug. Raye sat rooted to her spot and glared at me. I gave Lita and Amy a hug and then looked at Raye.

"What's the matter Raye?" I asked, almost wanting to glare back. I hadn't seen her in three years and she was already angry with me, and for what being late. It's a stupid reason when you haven't seen someone in so long.

"You didn't tell us!" She bellowed suddenly.

"Tell you what?" I questioned a bit taken aback. I honestly didn't know what she was talking about. She refused to look at me after that!

"What?" I asked again looking at all of them. Amy was the one who then spoke.

"That, you were going to America." Amy spoke. I stared at them. That's right; I had just up and left. I hadn't told anyone but my parents and I even lied to them about my departure so no one would send me off. I was still grieving over the loss of Darien. The girls hadn't known him and my parents had never met him.

They hadn't understood why I was so devastated after the battle. We remembered each other, but I alone remembered everything that had happened to us and I alone remembered Darien. He had been the reason that I had left Japan shortly after graduation. I had graduated early as I could and turned eighteen shortly after my graduation day. I graduated at the end of May and had left for America and college in early August.

I had contacted everyone when I reached America and was yelled at by all my friends and my parents. I had worried them and had offered no explanation for my early departure. I still felt that I owed no one an explanation.

"Raye, that was three years ago!" I said getting slightly angry.

"You should have told us!" she said defiantly.

"It's my business Raye, you wouldn't understand!"

"You never gave us a chance to understand!" she spoke bitterly.

"Yes I did Raye; you looked at me as if I was insane, when I tried once." I said.

"Well you should have tried harder!" she spoke angrily

"Raye..."

"You need to explain yourself!" she spoke cutting me off.

"I can't do that Raye, I'm sorry!" I said shaking my head. "That's in the past and I truly can't remember the reason now!" I tried to lie.

"You're lying!" She said.

"Raye…" She cut me off again and started hollering at me. I turned around abruptly and walked back down the stairs. No one followed me. They were all trying to calm Raye down.

I know out of all the girls Raye and I are the closest, but she most of all has the hardest time understanding me at times. I have dealt with this side of her for a long time and knew the best thing to do was walk away and let her cool down, after she had said what she needed to say. The other girls knew that calming her down was the best thing to do, but also shortly Mina would be sent after me.

I stopped at the bottom of the stairs and looked back up them. No Mina yet, which meant that Raye was still hysterical.

"Meatball head, you're back!" Darien said. I turned around and glared at the man, completely ignoring the people sitting next to him. I sauntered up to him and openly glared at him.

"I've asked you multiple times not to call me that!" I spoke similar to when I was younger.

"Ah, come on Meatball head!" He laughed.

My anger softened at his hearty laugh. He seemed to be happier today and was more like the old Darien I knew.

"Darien!" Spoke a voice that sent a shiver up my spine. It was man's voice that came from a long ago past and a not so long ago past. He was a person I had feared a lot when I was younger.
