Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, yadda, yadda, yadda.
AN: Hey! Thanks for all those who reviewed. I guess this is where I start off answering some of those with questions, eh? But, before I do that, the romance IS going to centre on Serena and Darien with a hint of the others. Oh, and a bit more of my other two characters as well.
Hopeless-Savage: Oh, look! You were my first reviewer! Hehe, I know how you feel about admitting to liking Sailor Moon to your friends. They'll all get on your case about it. Annoying. --' Yes, well, about Sammy knowing about Serena being Sailor Moon...You'll find out in this chapter. I had it planned out. It's all up here in this here brain of mine. (Which isn't very big.)
hikarisailorcat: Nice and short. Thanks for the review. Maybe someday I'll get a longer review from you, eh?
That's all the reviews. Just glad to know at least two people are reading.

Chapter 1 to Dreams and Wishes
"Have a nice day, enjoy your flight!" The service clerk smiled at them while handing back their plane tickets. They had waited a good fifteen minutes so that their luggage could be taken in and ready to be loaded onto the plane. Now their objective was to get something to eat. And to do so, they had to get by Raye, whom was still obviously peeved at Serena.
"Um, Darien, can we..." Darien shook his head and smirked. "Oh wipe that smug smirk off your face." She crossed her arms over her chest and pouted, hoping to convince him to take another route.
"You got yourself into this mess..." He turned her around and began pushing her in the direction of Jadeite, the food, and of course, Raye. "...And you are going to face the consequences." It was easy to maneuver her since her carry-on bag was refusing to let her gain control of the situation.
"Oh, fine. Anything to get a quick bite before we go." She sighed and allowed herself to be pushed closer to her demise.
It's now or never... She glanced at her friend from a few feet away. I'd much rather choose never.
Raye, however, was waiting patiently for her, Jadeite behind her. They reached their destination; Tim Horton's. "Hey Jadeite...R-raye." Darien went in line to get some donuts and coffee for they only had about half an hour left before they'd start boarding the plane.
Jadeite was about to greet back, but was interrupted by his girlfriend. "Hungry yet again?" Raye smirked at this and stepped forward, Serena taking a step back in the process. "Aw, wittle Sewena scawed of poow wittle Waye?" Serena laughed nervously and kept walking backwards, Raye taking slow steps forward. She smiled one of her famous evil grins.
"Can we...talk about th-?" Serena, however, was walking backwards and soon bumped into a person and was now on the way to the ground.
Ahh! Not now!' She closed her eyes, waiting for the impact, but it never came. Raye just giggled in the background, her revenge was satisfied for now. Huh? Where's the floor?
"Um, sorry." It was a girl's voice, speaking in English, obviously a tourist. The girl suddenly switched to Japanese and apologized. "Gomen." And bowed her head after Serena stood up and out of her arms. She checked her watch and sighed. Bowing her head again she quickly muttered a, "Sumi masen" before running off.
"Hurricane Serena struck again." Darien appeared with a box of assorted donuts and a tray holding two apple juices, one orange juice, and one black coffee. "What?" Serena glared at him as she grabbed a donut and her apple juice and began storming off to sit down.
All flights to Canada are departing in 30 minutes, please have your tickets ready and begin boarding.
"Saved by the plane!" He inwardly laughed as he knew his girlfriend had just forgotten about what had just happened.
"First things first." Jadeite grabbed his carry-on luggage, as well as Raye's and began making his way towards the gate. "Are you going to stand there all day or are we heading out?" The trio looked at each other then at Jadeite. When he was almost out of sight the trio ran after him.
Fluffy white clouds. Tons and tons of it. That's all they had been able to see out the window for the last few hours, but it was now pitch black outside for they were almost at their destination. "You can sleep and I'll wake you up just before we land." Darien offered since he could tell Serena hadn't slept the night before their flight. "Listening to those two bicker isn't going to help much." He grinned as she closed her eyes and smiled. Raye and Jadeite would find something to argue about every ten or so minutes. And to tell you the truth, it was really irritating.
The whole plane must've heard them by now…
"Yes, Master, your wish is my command." They both laughed light heartedly and soon Serena fell into a peaceful dream. One of which was a memory of Sammy three years ago.
Sammy...
"Help! Anybody!" An eleven-year-old boy pleaded as he was backed up against a tree. People that had their energy drained surrounded him and he was the only one still standing. The dolphin morphed creature edged closer to him, water dripping off its grey skin. (AN: I'll leave it up to your imaginations.)
"Yo! Negacreep!" The thing looked around, dumbfounded, as it searched for the source of the voice. "Up here, dolphin-boy." The one and only, you guessed it; Sailor Moon was standing on top of a branch. She jumped and landed perfectly in front of her brother.
"Kerpu kerpu!" Serena blinked at the monster, as if surprised at its incapability to speak, and turned around to face Sammy.
"Are you alright?" He sighed in relief then nodded after realizing who she was as she checked him for any injuries. "Okay." She turned around and faced Kerpu once again, determined not to let it injure anymore innocent people, let alone her own blood.
No one messes with MY family.
Without thinking at all she muttered something to Sammy. "Stay here, squirt." And then she leaped into the air to fight the wretched thing.
He blinked once, watching her dodge and fire attacks, before he finally comprehended what his favorite superhero had said. "...Squirt?" He watched Sailor Moon execute an attack and then Kerpu was nothing but a pile of dust.
I knew it! Sammy noticed that she was about to make her escape before the reporters began to appear.
"Serena! Wait!" She froze in her spot. This proved it was really her. Running up to her, he hoped for some answers. Sammy didn't need to speak, his face said it all.
Serena shook her head. "Not here, at home." There was no use in hiding it now. She accidentally let it slip...or did she? Perhaps she subconsciously wanted him to find out. "Hurry, before they start coming." She bent down onto one knee so that he could climb onto her back and he did so. "Hang tight." She leaped up into the air, jumping treetops and roofs, very similar to Tuxedo Mask, and soon they reached home.
Questions were answered that night, a promise was made, and the siblings grew even closer. They somehow, in the midst of all the explaining, realized her mistake must not have been accidental, someone had planned it. The other Scouts, Generals, and Tuxedo Mask had not appeared for battle. That was something that did not happen.
The dreamscape had changed. Everything was now a meadow. A tree stood proudly amongst the others as its petals drifted from it by the slight breeze.
"Petals? Since when did trees have petals?"
No answer. As she had expected. She narrowed her eyes; Serena thought she saw something move. Or maybe it was just the grass playing tricks on her eyes. "Rena?"
Spinning around, she came face to face with...nothing. "Wh-who's there?" She was slightly terrified. Wasn't she just thinking about Sammy? How did she get here?
"Your will to see me brought you here, Rena." She can hear my thoughts? "Basically, yes."
"I-"
The voice seemed to leave a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry, but I will not answer any questions or continue this any further." The image went hazy. "I'm sorry..." Serena's eyes went unfocused as something began tugging her back out of sleep. "...Sissy."
It felt like an earthquake was taking place, but wasn't she millions of feet in the air?
Please let this be a dream...
She groaned and popped an eye open to see what the ruckus was.
"Sere...we're landing soon." It was just Darien trying to wake her up. Couldn't he have found some other way, a more peaceful way, to wake her up? She was still groggy from her sleep and it took her a few seconds to buckle herself in, while wiping off the drool that managed to escape her mouth.
What a great way to wake up.
Rolling her eyes, she looked out the window, airport in view, her mind reeling back to what happened.
Hello, everyone, this is your Captain speaking. We have now arrived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. We hope you had a nice flight, please enjoy your stay.
Everyone on the plane stood up and began to gather their things once they were allowed to. "Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba." Jadeite announced as they retrieved their stuff from the compartments. "Uh...Did I just say that out loud?" He took a peek at his companions and sweat dropped. They were gawking at him as if he grew another head and he smiled sheepishly. "Can't a guy learn something new?"
Raye laughed and gave him a witty remark. "A guy can learn new things, but are you truly a guy?" She grinned and headed for the exit of the airplane. Jadeite turned red and he ran after her. She had left without helping him carry their luggage off the plane.
Serena sighed and followed suit. "Those two never give up, do they?" She asked Darien as they left the plane. He merely shrugged as they went through the escalator to meet the rest of the group.
They had barely got off the escalator when they heard a very familiar voice. "Serena! Darien! Over here!" A bubbly voice shouted over the crowd. Her long time boyfriend, Jason, quieted Mina down. "Oh, poo. I just wanted to make sure they saw us." She pouted as he grinned down at her. He can just be too cute.
"Honey, they could hear you all the way from Japan." She smacked him playfully on his chest after that remark. Mina ran to Serena and engulfed her into a hug.
Serena smiled and hugged back. Mina and Jason were the first to move to Canada and they hadn't seen each other in a month. "I missed you too, Mina." The other blonde giggled and released her. "Jason! Amy! Greg!" She gave each of them a hug. 'Boy, I sure missed all of them.' Amy and Greg had followed Mina and Jason a week later to Canada.
"Forgetting us now?" She turned around and grinned at the sight of the people before her. It had only been a week ago that Malachite, Zoisite, Lita, and Ken had followed the others. Nephrite was left back in Japan to take care of any leftover 'Evil Doers'. They all had a suspicion it was due to Molly. The poor guy never got over her and was probably going to make his move since the whole gang was gone. Molly was still with Melvin since she knew Nephrite was dead and decided to move on. Boy was she ever going to be surprised.
'Hm.' Serena had spotted someone that was familiar and excused herself while her friends went to go get the rest of their luggage. "Excuse me." The stranger turned around and recognized Serena. "Sorry about bumping into you earlier back in Japan." She bowed her head. Since they arrived in Canada she had begun to speak English, she may as well get used to it now.
"You can speak English?" Serena nodded. "Oh sorry, my name is Tina Carter. You didn't have to apologize; I was a bit preoccupied back there." Tina smiled and looked around.
"Serena Tsukino is my name." She noticed how Tina was looking around the airport frantically. "Well, my friends are waiting and I can tell you're waiting for someone. I hope to see you around again." She stood there and waited for a response. Tina seemed like an intriguing person to know. Serena had a strange feeling that she had met her before, not including their bump in at the airport.
"Sorry. I do hope we meet again. Goodbye, Serena." Tina smiled apologetically at her as she turned to leave. As soon as she was out of sight, her friend appeared. "What took you so long?" She placed a hand on her hip, slightly annoyed.
"Hehe. Sorry, friend, Jim said there was a lot of traffic on the way here." She smiled up at Tina who sighed and smiled back. "Forgives?" She gave Tina a small pout. She inwardly laughed for she knew Tina couldn't resist her best of the best friend, never in a million years.
"Yeah, yeah. I can't resist your pout." Tina rolled her eyes, as if she knew what she was thinking, and picked up her bag as her friend grinned in triumph. Together the two girls left with their luggage, both laughing as they headed out of the airport doors. They were reminiscing about their tour in Japan.
Back over to Darien and the others, one person's attention averted. Raye, being the priestess that she was, sensed the same aura she had felt when they were still back in Japan.
"Raye?" No response. "Is there something wrong?" Jadeite had noticed her sudden silence and placed a comforting arm around her shoulders.
"It's nothing, Jed. She closed her eyes and felt the aura disappear as whoever it was grew further away. "I guess I was just sensing something strange, but it's gone now." Raye just smiled at him. He just accepted her answer and didn't question her anymore about it.
Someone was watching all that was happening from two vortex windows. "The time is almost near. Only a few more to go..." The figure nodded their head as the two girls left the airport and turned their attention on the other window. "The Scouts have finally reunited again..." The unknown watcher let out a malicious grin.
"Master." A woman bowed before him and awaited orders.
"Hakuya, are you ready to go as planned?"
She nodded. "I will, Sire, and I will not fail."
"Dismissed." He waved his left hand and she fazed out, leaving him to observe the two groups of people once again.
AN: Um. It originally was shorter so I had to lengthen it quite a bit. So, just review and tell me what you think. Any questions will be gladly answered in the next chapter.
