Chapter 1: Taken
Serena followed Mina into the video arcade store, giggling as Mina continued to talk about the new guy that just started working there with Andrew. They passed through the automatic doors and Mina practically rushed through the rows of endless video games. This was their all time favorite place to come and hang out.
Andrew spotted the two girls as they were searching for the new guy. He laughed a little as he saw Mina drag her reluctant friend by the arm down the rows. He headed the two off just as they were about to reach the new employee.
" Hello ladies," He said, smiling at them. Mina glared at him and tried to look over his shoulder to see the guy.
" Andrew, you're in the way," Mina said, frustrated. Andrew just laughed.
" I'm sure that Joey doesn't want to be bothered by the likes of you two busy bodies," he said, referring to the newbie. Mina growled.
" Hay Andrew, what's up?" Serena asked, laughing at her friend's situation. Her dear friend was so desperate to find the right guy, that she over looked the one who was in love with her. Everyone had known for quite some time that Andrew loved Mina; everyone but Mina, that is.
" Not too much, just work and college." He answered. He knew that her smile was all fake, that she was still in pain over what his best friend did to her. Her pain was written well into her eyes, making it impossible not to see. It was written in his best friend's eyes as well.
Mina had managed to slip past Andrew and was now fully flirting with Joey. Andrew let out a long sigh when he realized it. " It's okay, buddy. She'll realize everything soon enough." Serena said wisely, as she took a seat on the bench to one of the games.
" Yeah I know, but its going to be a long wait." He answered with a short laugh before he went all serious. " Serena, he's hurting too." He said, referring to his best friend, and her ex, Darien. Serena immediately stiffened and frowned." I know you don't want to talk about him, but you needed to know you're not the only one hurting."
" He's got no right to be hurting. He's the one who broke up with me!" She said angrily.
" I know. I don't know what's going on inside Darien's head." Andrew said. He sighed and began to walk away.
" Andrew..." He stopped and looked over at Serena. Her voice held all her pain. "Knowing the man I love is in this much pain doesn't help me." She said. She got up and left, Andrew staring at her in wonderment. How had his friend let go of such a beautiful young lady as Serena.
Serena walked out of the video game store with her head held low. She walked a few blocks, not noticing anything around her. She continued on to that park without bothering to look up from the ground. She went over to that huge tree and sat down. She didn't cry like before, instead she just sat there and watched as all the couples began to walk by holding hands.
She thought about what Andrew had said, and truly wished him to be wrong. She loved Darien still and didn't want him to be heart-broken. She rested her head against her knee and had slowly began to doze off, when a shadow stood right in front of her. She opened her eyes and looked up at the person in front of her. Prince Diamond.
Serena jumped up and was reaching for her brooch when Diamond captured her hands and held them away from it. " Na-uh. No turning into Sailor Moon today sweet heart. You're all mine now." He said laughing evilly as he pulled her close to him and they disappeared to his castle. Her brooch didn't come with them, instead it fell off and landed right where she had been sitting. It soon started beeping, transmitting to the other sailor scout brooches about what was happening. Sailor Moon was in danger.
Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter ran together down the narrow allies of the city, avoiding being seen by the public eye as they made their way to find Serena, or what they don't know, just her brooch. When they finally made it to the park where it said she was, they saw Tuxedo Mask standing before a huge tree, looking down at something.
" What are you doing here?" Sailor Mars yelled at him angrily. She'd never been able to forgive what he'd done to her best friend. Tuxedo Mask turned around too look at the Sailor Scouts. A single tear sliding down his cheek.
" Something happened to her..." Was all he was able to say. He'd made a terrible mistake that he had been paying for ever since. He'd thought that breaking up would be for the better, but instead it had made everything worse. Worse, it made the woman he loved suffer over a broken heart.
" We know, now leave us and her alone. Go back to being just your average self again. You have no reason to care for her anymore." Sailor Jup. said, stepping up to him with her fist.
" Yes I do." Was all he would say. Sailor Merc. was the one who snapped everyone back to the reality.
" Guys, stop fighting. We've got to find Serena." She yelled over the arguments that were being screamed at each other.
" She's right, Serena could be in some serious trouble!" Sailor Venus said as she walked past them and swooped up Serena's brooch. " Amy can you scan this for any information it might have on where Serena could be?" She asked, ignoring Sailor Jup., Sailor Mars, and Tuxedo Mask.
" Yes, but it may take an hour or two at most. The programming looks a little fried." Sailor Merc. said as Sailor Venus handed her the brooch.
" Alright everyone, lets get to a private area and power down." Sailor Venus said walking with Sailor Merc. towards the exit of the park." And Tuxdeo Mask, you come too. " She said. He nodded in agreement. He'd never known Sailor Venus to take charge like that. Normally Sailor Moon and Sailor Merc. worked together to get everyone to listen. Sailor Moon as the leader and choice maker, and Sailor Merc. as the smart one telling the choices to her.
Ten minutes later, the Scouts where back at Raye's temple and all back in their normal attire, all except Darien. He was still in his.
" Why haven't you powered down?" Mina asked as she and the rest of the girls got settled down. Daren looked at her as if she should know the answer.
" I can't until I know she's alright. That's the deal with being Tuxedo Mask. Until Sailor Moon/ Serena is safe, I can't transform back into myself." He tried to explain. Mina made a oh with her mouth then laughed.
" That must suck for you. She tends to get into all sorts of trouble." Mina said laughing.
" Not the sort that I'm needed for." Darien said.
" Well... Fixing her broken heart was something that needed you, but you never showed." Raye said angrily as she crossed her arms and glared at him. Darien broke eye contact with her and looked down at the floor.
