Ok well here's the next chapter I'm really enjoying this hope everyone else is too.
If you can get on you tube or watch an episode of sailor moon that would be good as I was writing this I was able to put the characters voices to the words its amazing how the imagination works
Thank you to Sailor Sayian007, without her you would all be very confused reading this xx
:) I Do own sailor moon...NOT!
"Get off my back Raye! I was not going *ga ga* over Tuxedo mask, the guy saved my life! Am I not allowed to say thank you?" Serena huffed.
"I was just saying you were awfully close to him, makes me wonder; that's all," Raye replied with a shrug.
"You have been going on about it for 2 days Raye, ever since the dream doll! I swear each time you have mentioned it I have gotten closer to him, for god's sake. I walked up to him said thank you and he gave me a rose; that's it."
With that Serena stormed away.
"She's right Raye, you shouldn't be so hard on he. She loves Darien and I think being a scout has taken its toll on their relationship. She used to spend every afternoon with him, now she's lucky if they get that," Amy said before walking away as well.
Raye huffed and had started to walk home when she passed a booth giving away free tickets for a luxury romantic cruise for two, if she found the golden ball. She smiled and used her powers to win the tickets.
"Maybe Darien would go with me if I play the 'I-have-no-one-else-to-ask-and-he's-my-only-friend' card," she said to herself before heading off to find Darien.
She looked for him all afternoon, then eventually convinced herself to spring it on him last minute. He would be more likely to say yes that way, she thought, heading home.
It was the next afternoon Darien showed up at the temple.
"Hello, anyone in? I seem to be missing a girlfriend," he said with a grin.
Within two seconds Serena was in his arms. "I've missed you," she said snuggling into him.
"Serena we're in the middle of a meeting," Raye said angrily. She hadn't expected Darien to come and it ruined her plan of asking him to come on the cruise.
"My fault Raye, sorry to cut your meeting short but I promised Serena a surprise and well, I'm going to have to steal her away," Darien said.
Serena looked up at him with confusion. Her birthday wasn't till the next day, so she was wondering why her surprise was today.
'Wouldn't be much of a surprise if it happened when you were expecting it love. Don't worry, it just starts today,' Darien thought then looked down to find her smiling again.
"This meeting is rather important, can't you do whatever you're going to do after?" Raye huffed.
"Darien is more important to me Raye and we have barely spent any time together lately. So sorry, but you can carry on without me," Serena said before taking Darien's hand and leaving.
Both Raye and Luna were steaming.
"How dare she? Sailor business is more important! What if there's an attack?" Raye started babbling.
"I knew this would happen. I told her to stop seeing that boy; that her duty would have to come first, and now this she already disobeyed a direct order and walked out of a scout meeting," Luna said, pacing.
Amy frowned, thinking Serena was being slightly irresponsible.
"Hey Amy, would you like to come on a cruise with me? I won free tickets yesterday and forgot," Raye suddenly asked.
"That's today, isn't it? I suppose I could, I have to call my mother and let her know, though."
Raye grinned. "Great, we can tell Serena all about it tomorrow," Raye said.
"Okay we're here; close your eyes," Darien said.
They had started their date at his apartment where he had presented Serena with a new summer dress. It was a light pink with spaghetti straps that fell down to her knees and hugged her body comfortably. When Serena was changed they took off for an early dinner at a high end restaurant.
"Okay love, you can open your eyes," he said with a grin.
Serena gasped. In front of her was a giant cruise ship with loads of people waiting to get on.
"A romantic cruise for two," Darien grinned.
"Oh, Darien, it's perfect! Just you and me and the ocean, I love it! I love you," Serena gushed happily.
They boarded the ship, not noticing Amy, Raye and Luna watching them.
"This must be Serena's surprise," Amy giggled.
"It's gonna be more than a surprise; I'm getting some major evil vibes here. I swear if Serena has dragged Darien into troubleā¦" Raye started.
"It was a surprise for Serena, remember? So it's actually Darien dragging her into trouble. Still, we had better get on that ship before we're left behind!" Amy said as she and Raye ran onto the boat.
"Still, if he gets hurt it's all her fault," Raye grumbled, but Amy wasn't really listening.
"Darien, how did you think of all of this?" Serena asked as he twirled her around the ship's deck.
"To be completely honest love, I only had the dinner, dress and maybe renting a row boat in the park planned up until yesterday morning when I saw this advertised at the arcade."
Serena giggled at his answer. "That sounds perfect too. Then again, you could have told me we were attending a symposium on microbiology. I would have loved it. You are the only thing I need anywhere to make it perfect," she replied.
"I feel the same way. I would give you the world gift wrapped if you asked for it," Darien replied as they sat on a deck chair, Serena's side sitting in Darien's lap with her head resting on his chest.
"I know you would and that's one of the many reasons why I love you so much and why I would never ask for it," Serena whispered as they shared a kiss.
"OW!" Darien jumped suddenly.
"Luna, how did you get here?" Serena asked, picking up the cat from Darien's now bleeding arm.
"She must have followed you on board," Darien said with a sigh.
"She really shouldn't have," Serena said looking at Luna angrily.
Darien laughed. "It's okay love. Come, let's get her some food and put her in our room for the evening," he said.
Serena smiled and nodded they managed to find the buffet table and get Luna a few fish items and a small plate. "I'll go put her in the room; I'm scared she's going to attack you again if you're in a confined space together. Why don't you wait for me here?" Serena said with a smile.
Darien nodded and watched her leave. Almost as soon as she had, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and had to keep the shock and disappointment off of his face. "Raye? What are you doing here?" he asked, then saw Amy coming up behind her.
"I won tickets yesterday and asked Amy to come with me. I didn't really have anyone else apart from you to ask," she blushed.
Darien sighed heavily with a frown.
"What's wrong? Are you upset I didn't ask?" Raye asked hopefully.
"No it's not that. I'm glad you asked Amy; I would have had to let you down. It's just that Serena has been stressed a lot lately, and I'm happy she has made new friends, but I was hoping that I could take her away from everything just for tonight," he said sadly.
Raye looked angry for a second before Amy pulled her back. "We completely understand Darien. Raye and I will do our best to stay out of your way," Amy said with a smile before pulling the priestess away.
"Thank you," Darien called over to them with a wave.
"You're telling me the ship is being run by the Negaverse," Serena asked, pacing around the small room.
"Yes and as much as I don't like the fact you have a boyfriend, he was quite useful in bringing you here," Luna said.
"Great, they can't even let me have one night! Luna, I need you to promise me you are not going to hurt Darien again, alright?" Serena stressed.
"I will do no such thing! That ruffian was all over you; it's unbecoming! He probably only wants one thing," the cat screeched.
Serena snatched her up and fixed her with a cold glare.
"Darien is a complete gentleman Luna. I trust him with my life, so if you want to be a part of it, you are going to have to learn to accept him. Now, I will go beat up the bad guys and save the day, but you will stay here away from my boyfriend,"
Serena said, running out of the door and closing it tightly behind her, knowing it probably wouldn't help much. She sprinted down the halls and ran into Darien's open arms.
"What's wrong love?" he asked, sensing her distress.
'The ship is a Negaverse trap, Luna is being very difficult; she really doesn't like you and our whole night is ruined' Serena thought with a sob.
"I thought as much when not only Luna but Raye and Amy are on board. Go deal with the bad guys, I'll be right behind you, as always. And don't worry, we still have tomorrow," Darien whispered into her ear.
Raye and Amy were trapped in the banquet hall with Jadeite and a water monster when Sailor Moon appeared. She led the monster and Jadeite away, allowing Raye and Amy to transform and help her.
Tuxedo Mask spotted Jadeite and went after him. As they fought, the scouts defeated the water monster and Jadeite ran away with his tail between his legs. The boat changed into the shipwreck it was and the emergency services came to help everyone to shore.
Raye watched with jealousy as Serena curled into Darien's arms while Amy looked at them with sadness bubbling up inside of her. She felt bad for her friends; as much as she had thought Serena was acting flighty earlier, she agreed with Darien.
Luna sat beside the two girls, also watching the couple with sad eyes. She had thought about Serena's earlier words and realized what they meant. Sailor Moon could never truly be loyal to her princess, because her heart was taken.
I know short chapter but think we all needed a bit of Serena/Darien love, I promise the next one is much longer :D
Next Chapter Goodbye Jadeite, Hello Nephrite. Lita arrives (early I know but not doing the molly and nephrite thing sorry) Serena shows her true colours briefly and Raye and Amy start plotting...
A note from Sailor (her Beta, in case your guys haven't realized that yet): I hate finals so much. -_- They're the reason why I haven't been able to get around to this chapter. Sorry it took so long!
