AN: Sorry it took a little longer to post. I was waiting for more reviews. PLEASE review. The more reviews i get the faster i post.
Serena walked down the hallway at school. Holding her head, she slowed down. What had happened to her? Her memory was so foggy. All she could remember was her parents and brother. Did she have any friends?
Serena sighed as she felt a hand on her shoulder. Spinning around, she faced a tall brunette. The girl looked at her concerned, but why? She didn't know her, or did she?
Serena smiled, but stepped slightly back.
" Hi. I'm Lita," the brunette said politely. " Are you okay? You liked ill before."
Serena just stared at the stranger. Why were all these people she didn't know talking to her? Serena sighed.
" I'm fine," she paused before realizing that she hadn't given the girl her name. " The name's Serena, by the way."
Lita nodded. Then playing the part she added, " Nice to meet you."
Serena smiled at the girl. She didn't seem to know her. Maybe they could be friends.
" So… what are you doing after school?" Serena asked, curious.
" Oh me and my friends usually hang out at the local arcade. Want to come?"
Serena beamed. She was being invited to hang out with Lita. After her fuzzy memory, she could sure use a few new friends. Since she didn't recall having any.
" I'd love to. I'll meet you at the bus stop after the final bell, ok?"
Lita nodded and went on her way. Things were working out good so far. But she still needed to watch over her. Looking at her watch she saw that the bell would ring in only a few seconds, signaling the start of last period.
Looking back at Serena she saw her talking with some guy that Lita didn't recognize. Concerned, Lita crept up closer and hid behind some lockers.
Serena was about to go to class when someone grabbed her wrist. Thinking it was Lita she turned around. But to her surprise she saw a boy.
Looking up at him, Serena felt herself blushing. His white hair, tinted with light blue, and his blue eyes capturing her. The bell rung and Serena broke the silence.
" I got to go," she said turning to run to class.
" No wait!" the boy said firmly yet gently at the same time.
Serena blinked. What did he want? She didn't know him. Serena shook her head. Something was familiar with him, but what?
" I'm Pri… I mean Diamond. Your Serena, right?"
His gentle voice surprised her with his knowledge of her name. Serena nodded.
" I'm her." Looking back up at him she smiled.
" Want to skip class?" he asked casually, leaning back on a locker.
Serena was about to say no, but then looked at his pleading look. Serena smiled and nodded, knowing that she'd get in trouble, but didn't mind.
" Lets go."
Grabbing her hand, Diamond walked out of the school. His plan was working perfectly. He'd kill two birds with one stone, as the expression goes. He'd win his Serena's heart, which was also the heart of Sailor Moon and Princess Serenity, and turn her to the dark side soon enough. But for now, he'd just enjoy some time with women he loved.
Lita followed from a distance. She watched as they walked into the arcade. Pressing a button on her watch she contacted the other scouts.
" You guys… I want all you at the arcade fast. Serena just skipped class. I know so are we, but she doesn't have her memory and is off with some guy I don't recognize," Lita said quickly into her watch.
Just then Amy's picture showed on the watch and she nodded. " We'll be right there."
Lita walked into the arcade, to find Serena and the boy sitting at a table in the back. Lita hurried inside and sat down on a counter stool. Looking over at them, she realized that this could get confusing.
If Andrew went over there he would said hi and then ask who the guy was, and why Serena wasn't at school. Or why she was with this guy instead of her boyfriend. Serena would just be confused about who he was, and that would bring up many questions; questions that none of the scouts could answer right now.
Lita looked around the arcade, trying to find Andrew, but couldn't. She found a waitress and asked her where he was. Lucky for them, he wasn't coming in today.
Lita turned, as the bell chimed, signaling a new customer. Lita looked over to see if it was her friends, but to her shock, it was none other than Darien. Lita just sat there, staring, as he walked over to her.
" Hi, Lita, why aren't you in school?" Darien asked, sitting down next to her. Obviously not having seen Serena in the back with that boy.
" I…um… well, I'm just taking the rest of the day off to think," she finally muttered.
Darien nodded. Lita glanced back at Serena and that boy. If Darien saw them together, it would break his heart, but he'd notice eventually, or when he heard her voice. She needed to break it to him slowly.
" Darien," Lita said, but then paused as the waitress came and took their orders. After she left Lita continued.
" Serena… she lost her memory right…so you can't judge her for this…" Lita sentence hung in the air as Darien turned to her. He was about to ask what on Earth she was talking about, when he was stopped by the sound of a melodious laugh; one that he'd know without turning around. Serena was here.
Lita turned white, but didn't say anything. Darien slowly turned around and stared in the direction from which the laughter was coming from. His jaw dropped. Who was she with? And why was she with him, when she should be at school?
He turned to Lita, his face a pale and sickly color. His heart throbbed, but knew that he couldn't do anything, no yet. It would only cause a scene if he tried to do anything. She didn't remember him.
" Who is that? And why isn't Serena in school?" Darien asked trying to hide his hurt.
" I have no idea who he is, and she's skipping."
Although Darien felt sick and was in a lot of pain, he chuckled. Lita looked at him funny, so he leaned closer to her, so only she could hear.
" That's not exactly what our future queen should be doing, now is it?"
Lita laughed, a little of the pressure gone. She shook her head. " Defiantly not."
Darien casually turned back around to look at Serena again. This time he took a more careful look of the guy to see if he recognized him. The boy did look familiar, but from where? Other than Serena and her friends, he didn't know anyone that age.
Darien turned back to Lita. " Does he look familiar to you?" he asked softly.
Lita turned around and glanced at him, before nodding. She looked at her watch. It read nearly four thirty. Gosh, had they been there that long? Lita smiled at Darien and then stood up.
" I'm about to find out just exactly who he is."
Lita walked over to the booth where Serena was and sat down next to her.
" Hey, Serena. I was a little worried when I didn't see you after school."
Serena looked over at her and her smile fell. " Oh. I totally forgot. I'm so sorry. I was just talking with Diamond here and I totally lost track of time."
Maybe it was Serena's lack of memory, or maybe it was just her having a bad day with her senses, for she didn't see both Diamond and Lita jerk when she said his name.
Lita smiled, although she was completely panicking. She had to act calm and casual. " Well I'll leave you to alone. I'll see you later."
Lita hurried back to the front of the room and grabbed Darien's arm, pulling him off his stool. Being the strong girl she was, she did this with little exertion. Darien looked at her as if she had gone mad, but allowed her to pull him outside.
Once outside Lita let go of his arm. She looked up at him, her face full of fear. She looked completely petrified. What could make Lita, Sailor Jupiter, so scared? Then he saw a tear roll down her face, then more followed. Was she so scared that she was actually crying?
At a loss of what to do, he took her hands in his. " What's wrong, Lita? Come on tell me. Maybe I can help, " he said softly.
Lita shook her head, unable to form words. It was him. Knowledge of that made her body shake. She held unto Darien's arms as she felt her legs shaking.
Darien held her arms, steadying her. What could it possibly be? He had to know.
" Lita. Please. Try and tell me," his voice soothing her.
Lita slowly calmed herself down. She stopped shaking and pulled away. Tears still rolling down her face.
" Its him…" was all she could say before her voice cracked.
" Who? The guy Serena's with?" he asked, concern evident in his voice. Lita nodded.
" I went over and asked where see had been after school, and then she told me that she had been talking with him and forgot about me…"
Lita's voice had gone back to normal, but she still wasn't telling him the guy's name.
" Lita. What's his name?" Darien pleaded one last time.
" Diamond."
Darien's heart skipped a beat. Diamond as in, Prince Diamond? No. It couldn't be. Unless he had figured out who Serena really was. Which would mean danger for her. Big danger.
" You don't think…?" Darien asked, even though, by Lita's actions, she thought it was really him.
Lita nodded. " The white, with light blue tinted hair. And the face, we knew he looked familiar."
Darien now began to shake. What could they do? If one of them went it, Diamond could attack, or hurt Serena. But leaving her with him was worst.
Just as he was thinking about what to do the other scouts showed up.
