Last time:
"What about you?" Raye asked. "What will happen to you and Darien?" The other girls nodded and looked at Serena.
Serena blushed slightly and looked down, it was now or never, "Darien is returning to America to finish his studies in a month… and he wants me to go and live with him."
All the girls could do is look at Serena with shocked expressions… and then all hell broke loose.
Life Changes
Chapter 2.
Serena smiled inwardly as all her friends were frantically bombarding her with questions.
"When did he ask you?" Raye squealed.
"He asked me on my graduation day. I haven't given him an answer yet, but I am seriously considering it," Serena said calmly.
"But what will happen to us? If you move to America, then we will never see you again," Mina cried.
Serena wrapped Mina in a huge hug, "That's not true. It's only for a year and I plan on coming back to visit sometimes. I couldn't just leave for good. You guys are my best friends." The rest of the girls joined in on their hug. After a few minutes, they all separated.
"So when do you have to leave?" Amy asked, wiping a tear from her eye.
"Well, if I decide to go, we will be leaving at the end of the month," Serena replied.
"You know we are gonna have to have a going away party for you two, right?" Lita asked.
Serena nodded, "I know." She glanced over at the clock and realized how late it had gotten. "Well I need to get back home. I have things to take care of." All the girls nodded. Serena stood and left the temple.
As she walked many thoughts were running through her head, mainly back to Seiya. 'It has been 3 years since he left for his own planet. I wonder if he even remembers me?' As she walked, deep in thought, Serena failed to notice the shooting star that streaked across the sky and landed on the roof of Crystal Tower.
A man stood at the top of Crystal Tower stared over Tokyo. 'It has been far too long since I have been back. Will she even remember me? I only hope I came back in time.' The man thought as he ran a hand through his long black hair tied in a ponytail. He pulled his long red shirt down tight over his denim jeans. 'It's too bad that Taiki and Yaten decided not to come. I am sure they would have enjoyed being here again.'
Seiya moved towards the city streets and shifted the large duffel bag on his shoulder before continueing towards the apartment that he had secured for himself. It had taken him two months to get everything in order for his return to Earth. He smiled as he thought of his last conversation with his princess, or should it be said, former princess.
Kakyuu looked at her favorite Starlight and smiled, "I know how much you have missed Earth during these past few years." Fighter nodded, hanging her head. "And that is why I have decided that you are dismissed from your duties to me and are free to return to Earth. I know you left something very precious behind when you left, right?" Fighter looked up in shock and nodded. "As much as I dislike your reasons for wanting to return to Earth, I understand. You love her."
Fighter nodded, "I have tried to forget her, to move on with my life, but I just can't. Even though she loves another, I still want to be by her side to protect her."
Kakyuu nodded, "That is why I am giving you this chance. I will arrange everything for you on Earth, but you will be in charge of maintaining your own life." Fighter nodded and turned to leave. "One more thing," Kakyuu said, causing Fighter to turn. "You will no longer be Sailor Starfighter. You must now accept a new senshi transformation. One more suited for your station within Princess Serenity's court." Kakyuu handed Fighter a black transformation wand with a blue star on top. "Take this and yell 'Star Knight Activate'. This will transform you into Star Knight. You will maintain your male form and it will aid you in your new life."
Fighter smiled and accepted the wand from Kakyuu, "Thank you so much, Princess."
Kakyuu stood and embraced Fighter, "No, thank you for being my most loyal senshi, and my most loyal friend. I will send you with a message for Princess Serenity notifying her of your new orders. As soon as you arrive on Earth, seek her out and give this too her. Take care, my friend."
Seiya smiled as he stared at the beautiful night sky. 'Now, to find my Dumpling.' He turned and began to walk towards the last place he knew she would be, whistling to himself as he walked.
Restlessness has overtaken Serena as she walked towards her home. She knew there was no way she was going to be able to sleep once she got home. Serena had just reached the front gate when she saw someone walking away from her front door. She stood there in shock as she stared at the one person she didn't believe she would ever see again.
"Seiya?"
