Diamond had taken Serena to the throne room. He had the doors closed and locked and he had a beautiful bed set up in the middle of the room complete with a canopy and lots of blankets and pillows. He had also lit a bunch of candles and put rose petals everywhere around the room. He knew how much the queen of Crystal Tokyo loved roses. He glanced over at the sleeping blonde girl. She lay in a beautiful white gown on the bed.

Then he heard a soft moan come from her. He got up and walked over to the bed. He saw Serenity stretch and slowly open her eyes. She carefully sat up and immediately smelled roses. She breathed in the wonderful scent and sighed. But she knew she wasn't in Tokyo anymore. She looked around and saw that she was in a huge room with candles everywhere. Then she heard a familiar voice.

"You've finally awaken, Serenity."

She looked to her left and saw Prince Diamond standing by the bed she lay in.

"Y-you! Where am I?"

"You are in my castle on Nemesis. In time you will learn to love this place."

"I will never love this place! Nor will I love you! You despicable bastard!" she spit on his face.

Diamond was not happy with what she had said and done. He raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face. Serena cried out in pain and put her hand over her cheek. She felt tears run down her face.

"You will not speak to me in that way! Do you understand me?" Diamond yelled at her.

But as soon as he said that he realized what he just did. His face softened and he got closer to the crying girl.

"Serenity, I'm sorry. I lost control." He gently put his arms around her to get her to face him. But Serena pushed his arms away.

"Don't touch me!" she quietly said.

Diamond sighed and backed away from her. "As you wish."

He took a hanky out of his pocket and held it out to her. Serena looked up at it and up at Diamond and back at the hanky. She took it and wiped away her tears.

"I know this is a bad time to say this, but you really do look beautiful when you cry." Diamond softy said.

Serena looked up at him. She was stunned that he would think that. "Thanks….I guess."

"You're welcome, my dear."

Serena grimaced when he called her that. "Why am I here?"

"Because you don't belong in that place. You belong here….with me."

Diamond went to move a strand of Serena's hair out of her face but she moved away from his touch. His hand kept going towards her anyways and she couldn't move away any further. The Prince's hand gently touched her face and moved the strand of hair away from her soft face. Serena shivered and got chills from the touch.

"I'm sorry, Prince Diamond, but I don't belong here with you. I belong with my friends and family and Darien on Earth. You're in love with my future self, Neo Queen Serenity. I'm Serena Tsukino. You're not in love with me. Darien loves me. And I love him." Serena explained to him.
