Disclaimer- I do not own Sailor Moon, Naoko Takeuchi does though.
A/N- Okay, well here is the second chapter, I hope it's good and it is still interesting to read and find out what will happen. Please review and tell me what you think, thank you!
Quickly waking down the hard wood stairs of her little town house, Serena instantly headed straight to the kitchen.
Grabbing some bread off the counter for the toast and then picking up the eggs out of the refrigerator, Serena went to work on making breakfast.
Well this is about the only type of food I can manage to make without ruining or burning it. Serena thought dryly.
After Serena placed the bread in the toaster, she walked over to her TV and turned it on to the news channel, like she did almost every morning.
Walking back over to the breakfast she was currently making, Serena absently listened to the news as she was cooking and she heard fragments of sentences like, Murder, USA, Killings, 12 murders and unknown suspects.
Interested now Serena turned her full attention back to the TV, which was showing a newscaster standing right outside of a brick house with what looked like police and detectives swarming it, Serena could also see the house was surrounded by yellow caution tap.
Serena heard the newscaster talking again about the murders, " Today there has been yet another murder, since last month there has been a total of twelve murders, today is the twelfth. Police still don't know exactly who is doing this ghastly crime, but they intend to find out soon, police think all of the murders are all connected. We currently don't know where the murderer is or murderers, but if you have any information please contact us immediately ."
Hm, I wonder how one person or even more than one could get away with that many murders, but… I wonder if any of this is connected with any new enemies from other planets, it has been a long time since we were disrupted with anything, no, more like it has been years since we were bothered at all.
Serena snapped out of her musings when she suddenly smelled something burning.
The Breakfast! Exclaimed Serena silently.
Just then she heard Darien next to her pulling the now burnt toast out of the toaster.
Darien is always there to save me. Serena thought
Cursing Serena helped Darien clean up the mess and went back to cooking again, she was just waiting for Darien to make some smart aleck remark about her cooking.
" What were you thinking about, you haven't burnt anything for a while, I am surprised." Darien teased.
Serena replied with a teasing sarcastic remark, " Well I don't see you cooking, do I?"
Darien just laughed in response.
" Okay, I am serious now, I have to tell you about something I just watched on TV."
" Go on, I am listening."
" Have you heard about the string of murders that has been linked together? The USA has some leads, they think it might be one person or a gang causing the murders. The police haven't figured it out yet, I am starting to get worried that we might have a new enemy on our hands, I don't think I can handle another enemy now."
" No I haven't, but I am watching the news story right now, it seems weird that they haven't caught the culprit now, did you stop and think that your nightmares might be somehow linked to what is happening now, I mean Raye used to have nightmares or premonitions about the worlds destruction, maybe that's what your experiencing, probably not world destruction though."
" I really don't know, I hope it is just a horrible reoccurring nightmare and defiantly not a premonition, that would be horrible to go through my nightmare in real life and even worse if is was somehow connected with these murders."
"Yeah, I know what your talking about."
"Well lets eat our breakfast before it gets colder than it already is."
Serena set the table and laid out the food for her and Darien, they ate mostly in peaceful silence with only a few word passing between them.
After breakfast Darien went upstairs to take a shower and as Darien was taking a shower Serena started cleaning up the plates from breakfast and began to put together Darien's lunch, he was about to go to work in about thirty minutes.
After completing what she wanted to do, Serena went over to the couch just outside of the kitchen and sat, just waiting for Darien to get out of the shower.
Sighing, Serena felt sleepy, even after having ten hours of sleep the previous night, she felt like she could sleep the rest of the day away on the couch.
No! I can't go to sleep now, I don't want a nightmare and I need to say goodbye to Darien before he leaves for work.
In thinking about Darien's job Serena thought about when he first started to peruse it.
Flashback: Two Years Ago
" You know, Serena. I need a job soon, there has been no enemy sightings for the past couple years and we are twenty years old now, so I was thinking to finish up my collage education, I want to become a crime investigator. You know I will be good at it because I could always sense when you were in danger and I just want to help people."
"Yeah your right Darien, we both need jobs."
" No, I didn't mean you needed a job, why don't you just become a writer or something to that degree, you always liked to read comics."
Serena could hear Darien holding his laughter in at that remark.
"You know I could always try it out." Serena said mischievously.
" But I will not make a lot of money, more like a few pennies. I will think of it as something I always wanted to try and getting paid a little bit of money, or more like a few pennies will make it a touch better, and you are just a liar about me starting to write. You know I would never be able to."
" Yeah, I know. But you could use the "few pennies" that you are going to make and use it to buy all of your clothes and things you spend all of my saved up money on." Darien said teasingly, he was holding his laughter in again.
" Fine then, I better start writing all of my ideas down soon, if I ever want to buy anything" Serena said laughing.
End Flashback
Hearing footsteps coming down the stairs, Serena came out of her memories and quickly gathered together the things Darien needed to take to work with him.
I guess I never did get a job.
Meeting Darien at the front door Serena smiled up at him and gently kissed him on the lips.
When they pulled apart Serena earnestly looked at him and said with Sincerely, "Be careful, okay?" Serena asked.
" You know I will, I will see you tonight when I get back home."
"Yes, I will see you when you get home, bye."
"Bye"
Serena watched from the door as Darien got into their car, pulled out of the driveway and drove off to work.
Well that's it for the second chapter, I hope you like it. Please review and tell me how I'm doing. The next chapter should be out a little later, a few days. Thank you!
