I dont own sailor moon

Round of appluse for Sailor Sayian my fantabulous beta

"So, what are we doing for your birthday?" Darien asked. They were still at the arcade, just enjoying the time they had together, when Darien remembered the date.

"Humm? Oh yeah, it's June now! I forgot with everything that's happened recently. My parents will want to have a birthday dinner again so we'll have to do that. I can't think of anything else I would like to do but just spend it with you, so surprise me," Serena replied with a bright smile.

Darien laughed happily. "I love you so much. Hmm, surprise you? Well, if that's what my girl, wants a surprise is what she shall have,"

"I love you too," she said with a blush. He wrapped his arms around her and bent down for a kiss before looking up again.

"Serena, isn't that your cat?" he asked, seeing Luna sulking around outside.

"Oh, it is. Guess it's time to feed her," Serena giggled. They both knew Luna wanted her to investigate something or there was strange activity somewhere. Darien picked up a book Andrew had lent him while holding his hand out to help Serena up.

"I guess I should get home and study. Wait, what's this?" Darien asked, seeing a disc where the book had been on the table.

"Must have been Amy's; she said she was going to computer class. She probably needs it," Serena said.

"MEOW!" they heard from outside and both looked to see Luna glaring at the both of them.

"That's one demanding cat love. Tell you what, I will take this to your friend's computer class after getting my bike; it's on my way anyway," Darien said as they walked out of the arcade.

Serena smiled up at him.

"Thank you," she said, leaning up for a kiss goodbye.

Darien grinned before leaning down to her, closing his eyes.

"OW!" he jumped suddenly. Serena's eyes flew open to see Luna scratching Darien's leg.

"No Luna, bad kitty!" Serena said picking Luna up and holding her still while she leant up for her kiss goodbye.

"What the hell was that about Luna?" Serena asked as soon as Darien had left.

"Never mind that! There's Negaverse activity in the advanced computer classes; you need to transform and get over there now," Luna replied.

"Fine, but we will be talking about this later. You can't just attack my boyfriend like that," Serena said before taking off towards Amy's class.

She transformed as soon as she was at the school, getting there just in time to see the teacher transform into a monster while trying to make Amy watch a brain washing screen.

"Luna, that thing's got Amy! What do I do now?" Sailor Moon asked, fearful for her friend.

"Uh, wing it?" Luna supplied.

Sailor Moon started her speech as the sign for Mercury appeared on Amy's forehead. Luna ran over to her as Sailor Moon was backed into a corner by brainwashed students.

"Quickly Amy, take this and say 'Mercury Power'," Luna shouted, tossing the transformation pen to Amy.

Sailor Moon was trapped in the corner; there were too many students surrounding her. 'Darien, help!' she thought.

'I'm coming,' she heard as the room filled with a cold mist and the students all fainted.

"Sailor Moon, are you okay?" Mercury asked.

Sailor Moon smiled. "I'm ok but big ugly over there isn't. Moon Tiara Magic!" she shouted, flinging her tiara at the monster and turning it to dust.

"Welcome to the scouts Sailor Mercury," Luna said proudly.

'I'm outside, are you okay?' Darien asked through the link as Luna was telling Amy about their mission to find the Moon Princess.

'I'm fine, Mercury was a big help,' Serena thought back.

They walked out in their normal forms to see Darien staring at the sign. As soon as he saw them he grabbed Serena and held her close.

He had never been so scared in his life. When he felt her transformation he had only just gotten to his bike, and when he arrived at the class it was covered in a thick mist. He could only watch as the mist faded and Sailor Moon dusted the monster.

Even though she appeared unharmed, it still worried him.

"I was on my way here with the disc when some kids said there was a monster here. What are you doing here?" He asked, checking her over.

"Amy called and said her class was cancelled so I decided to come and meet her. I'm fine," Serena answered calmly.

'You are way too over protective; I can take care of myself,' she thought.

'I know you can, I just couldn't bear it if anything happened to you.'

Serena smiled at him, letting him know he was forgiven.

"Come on Amy, I'll walk you home," Serena said, twirling out of Darien's arms. He watched the two walk away with Luna perched on Amy's shoulder.

"Back for my bike again," he said to himself, heading back to the gym.

"It's great to have you on the team Amy," Serena said as they arrived at Amy's home.

"I'm happy to be a part of it," Amy replied with a small smile before going into her house.

"Now that we're alone… Luna, why did you scratch Darien earlier?" Serena asked seriously.

Luna sighed. "I don't think you should be seeing that boy. He's distracting you from your mission," she said indignantly.

"I will not argue with you Luna, but I will tell you Darien has been a part of my life far longer then you or Sailor Moon has. I love him with everything that I am, so I will keep seeing him, but I will try harder not to get distracted by him when it's important," Serena said so calmly Luna did a double take.

"Serena, when we find the Moon Princess, your loyalty will to her and to her only. This is not a discussion point; your mission is your first priority, not some boy you think you love." With that, the cat jumped away, leaving Serena feeling extremely downcast.

Darien felt her sadness and within 3 minutes was next to her, holding out her helmet for his bike. She smiled with watery eyes and jumped on the bike behind him.

They pulled up at the very same temple that Darien had brought them to when they were young. She giggled when she remembered the strange old priest they had met.

They walked up the temple stairs in silence. Both Serena and Darien felt the tension slipping away for her as they stopped at the top of the stairs.

"Ah, you two, I was wondering when I would see you again," they were greeted by the happy priest.

"Well, we're sorry it took so long sir," Darien started.

"No matter, you are here now, and none of that sir stuff; call me Grandpa. Please, come join me for some tea?" he interrupted.

"Of course we will; thank you Grandpa," Serena said happily as they followed the old man into the building and sat down.

"My granddaughter moved in with me a few years ago and is currently training to be a priestess here at the temple. She is a temperamental, young thing but she has a great spirit. The sacred fire seems to respond to her very well."

They had been talking for a while, catching up with Grandpa. He had been so happy to see them still together and so in love, and they had been happy to hear he had some company in the large temple.

"Grandpa, are you in here?" someone asked while opening the sliding door.

"Raye?" Darien asked when he saw her.

Raye blushed. "Darien, what are you doing here? Were you looking for me?" she asked hopefully, not seeing Serena, who was partially hidden by Darien.

"No, didn't realize you lived here. We met grandpa here a few years ago and decided to visit," Darien smiled.

It was then Raye saw Serena smiling at her from behind Darien.

"Come join us Granddaughter," Grandpa smiled.

"Well, I could do with some tea," Raye said before sitting down right between Serena and Darien.

Raye smiled as she poured the tea and handed it to everyone. She lingered while giving Darien his, then saw his scratched up leg.

"Oh no Darien, what happened?" she asked, leaning down to his injury.

Darien laughed. "Serena's cat happened. I don't think she likes sharing her new owner, can't complain really," he shrugged.

"You let your cat attack him? That's so irresponsible and childish," Raye said to Serena.

Serena frowned, reminded of Luna's behavior and harsh words. Darien took one look at her and lifted her over Raye and sat her in his lap.

"It's not her fault, so back off," he said harshly to Raye, who jumped back, shocked.

"I'm sorry, I've had a very stressful day, please accept my apologies," she said to Serena.

It was obvious Darien wasn't going to like her while she was being mean. She had hoped pointing out the girl was childish would make Darien realize that. She decided the best way to play this was to keep your enemies close or, in this case, love rival.

"As I said, temperamental," Grandpa laughed.

"In any case, we had better get going. Serena's parents will be wondering where she is," Darien said, getting up.

Just before they left, Raye pulled Serena off to the side while Darien said his goodbyes to Grandpa.

"I really am sorry about before. People think I'm weird and, well, Darien was the first person to actually befriend me in a while. I guess I just got too judgmental," Raye explained.

"Don't worry, I understand. You were just worried about your new friend, but it's okay because from now, on I'll be your friend too. My class is coming here next week on a trip. Can we can talk more then?" Serena smiled.

Raye tried not to gag and forced up a smile. "Sure, sounds great," she said, then waved as the couple left.

Maybe If I become her friend, I can convince her to break up with him, then comfort Darien when she does so, Raye thought, a bright smiel appearing on her face before she turned and disappeared into her room.

"She has changed so much; hopefully by getting to know her better I will see my old friend again," Serena said as she got on Darien's bike.

"We're all different love," he said as he pulled up to Serena's house.

"Does it bother you? That we have changed?" she asked with a frown.

"I have grown up getting to know you. I see the differences between you and Serenity, just as you see the differences between Endymion and me. It doesn't bother me, it just means I got to fall in love with you all over again," he answered.

"And I got to fall in love with you again too, thank you," she smiled as they headed in.

Darien stayed for dinner with Luna glaring at the couple for most of the evening.

The week past by rather quickly. Luna had refused to talk to Serena for disobeying orders, until a battle with killer alarm clocks.

After that, things seemed to go back to normal between the two. Luna still didn't like Darien, even after he saved her life, but she placated herself by thinking the princess would surely put a stop to Serena's fanciful ways.

"Amy, I can't wait to introduce you to Raye," Serena said as they rushed up the temple steps. There had been strange rumors about the buses disappearing around the temple, but most of the class was excited about the new love charms that the temple was selling.

As Serena and Amy reached the top of the steps, they immediately saw a large group of girls crowding around the charms salesman. Serena gasped when she saw him, recognizing Jadeite instantly.

'Darien, I think we're going to have trouble here. Jadeite's clone is selling charms at Raye's temple' she thought.

Darien sighed. 'Classes finish in half an hour, please wait for me to get there love,' he thought.

'I will try, but Luna is here,' she whispered before leaving him to concentrate on his class.

"Hey Serena, look at my love charm! Isn't it great? Aren't you getting one?' Molly asked, walking up to the two.

"No way Molly, I don't need a silly charm! I already have my soul mate," Serena replied just as Raye was walking up to her.

"So, Darien's your soul mate? How long did it take you to get that idea?" she giggled.

"Oh Serena and Darien have been together forever! They would probably be married if they could," Molly laughed.

"How long have you guys been together, anyway?" Raye asked smiling at Serena and Amy.

Serena grinned, thinking this was Raye trying to get to know her new friends better.

"Well, we met when I was 4, and we have been inseparable ever since," she smiled happily.

"Yeah, when we were in primary school Darien used to walk to her house in the morning to see her before heading to school. He also used to be at the gates when we got out of school," Molly sighed.

"That's so sweet," a few girls around them sighed as well.

Grandpa decided to join in then. "The first time I met the two, they were only children and asked to be blessed to be married when they were old enough," he said with a bright smile.

"Ooh, I hope my love charm brings me a guy just like Serena's! All romantic and honorable," another girl said.

Raye seethed quietly. Darien was her soul mate; the great fire wouldn't lead her to him if he wasn't. She was sure that had been the reason. It didn't matter anyway; as soon as she could she was going to break them up.

She smiled at the thought, not noticing the charms glowing and the people starting to get on the bus randomly. Luna ran up to Serena, getting her to follow the crowd as Amy hid to transform and scan the people.

Serena used the Luna Pen to get on the bus, and Raye had followed her, trying to wake the people up. She just knew the temple would be blamed if a whole class of students went missing too.

Darien arrived to see the bus disappear with Serena and Raye both on it. He hid from Mercury and Luna as he transformed and used his link to Serena to teleport to her.

He saw Mars and Moon handling the monster, so he worked on hooking the buses together and getting them ready to go.

Jadeite appeared when the monster was defeated and attacked. Tuxedo Mask jumped in, keeping Sailor Moon safe.

After a few more futile attacks, Jadeite finally disappeared and they got all the buses back to the temple.

Well what did everyone think?
