Author's Note: Don't Hate me cause it's been so long. So much crap happened. It's really not even worth going into. Though the only good thing is I got married. I decided that I should pick up a pen and start writing again. I also revised the first seven chapters. I didn't really change anything. I just reviewed most of it to be inspired again and to fix mistakes. So I hope you enjoy.

****The Rose Garden****

"They're injured and they need me." A tear slipped down Moon's check.

"Do you really want to go with them or stay with me?" Tux asked; his hand cupped her wet cheek.

"How can you ask me that? They are my best friends; my fellow scouts. I am their leader. I have to be there to make sure nothing happens. Because I was with you they got hurt." Tears falling freely down her face.

"Moon, there was nothing you could have done." He tried to pull her close to him. "If you'd been here that monster would have killed you!"

Moon was so shocked by what he said that she didn't even notice him pull her into his arms.

"You don't know that." Moon sobbed harder.

"Yes I do," he whispered rubbing her back as she cried into his chest. "That first attack Io did took out Venus and Mercury in one shot. If you had been here with your already bad injuries you would have been killed."

All Moon could do was cry. 'I know he's right. I would be dead right now if it wasn't for him. But that doesn't make me feel better.'

They heard the ambulance coming for the victims from the monster attack.

"You need to make you decision about whether you want to come back to my apartment or go with you friends?" He lifted her face from his chest to look into her eyes.

Looking into each other's eyes everything around them faded. All the noise from the ambulance and people in the garden seemed to fade into silence. Her blue eyes glittered with her unshed tears; his were barely visible behind his mask.

Slowly Tux lowered his head and his lips touched hers so softly if she wasn't watching him she never would have known that it happened. Then his lips touched hers again with a little more pressure. He pulled away again not wanting to scare her. When he noticed she didn't move away or slap him he made full contact with her lips. Moon's eyes drifted close as Tux's arms came around her. One arm was around her waist holding her to him, the other slowly ran up her back to her neck to angle her head in the right angle to receive his kiss. There was something familiar about this. Like they already knew the feel and taste of one another. They know how to please each other without really trying. For Moon this was her first kiss but it wasn't scary or new. It was like something she has been doing all her life. Like the most natural thing in the world was kissing the masked man.

****Flashback****

A elegantly dressed young woman and a masked man were standing in a rose garden surrounded by millions of flowers. The man's arms were wrapped around the women and slowly he leaned his head down and kissed her.

****End of Flashback****

Suddenly Moon and Tux pulled away from each other. Like a bolt of lighting struck right between them. They just stared at each other for a moment trying to understand what just happened. Moon was the first one to recover. 'Oh My God!!! My first kiss is with Tuxedo Mask!!! But it doesn't feel like a first kiss.' She blinked twice and realized the Tux wasn't moving. Moon used Tux's momentary confusion as a chance to escape. In a blink she was gone. It took another moment for Tux to even register that she left.

"Sailor Moon??!!!" Tux yelled.

****Moon's POV****

"Sailor Moon??!!!" I heard him yell, but I couldn't slow down. I pushed the images of us kissing and that weird image of the other couple kissing to the back of my mind.

'Oh My God!!!!' I ran and jumped threw the garden and park to get to Raye's house.

I finally saw the temple and slowed. I kept looking behind to make sure Tux wasn't following me. 'I hope Raye and the girls are asleep. I know they are all there trying to cover for me. I hope the aren't very worried about me. Raye is going to chew my head off. One of these days she really does need to understand that I am the leader and that she shouldn't talk to me the way she does.' I finally was within ten yards of the living quarters of the temple and started to walk. 'I'm still not fully healed and I don't want to reopen my wounds.' I decided to detransform. 'I lost so much energy just staying Sailor Moon. It's not meant to be a long time thing. Luna said that if we were to remain transformed we could use up all our energy. That wouldn't be good.' So I hid behind a tree and detransformed. 'I feel a lot better now.'

****Author's POV****

Serena silently walked up to Raye's window and looked inside. 'Damn they're still awake. Time to face the music.' Lightly she tapped on the window to gain their attention.

"What was that?" Luna asked her hair standing on end.

Serena tapped again a little harder this time to make sure they heard her.

"There it is again." Luna got up and listened for where the noise came from. "The window." She arched her back and the girls came to full alert.

Then Lita noticed a pair of blonde meatballs and screamed, "SERENA!!!"

Everyone jumped and ran to help her in the window. "Why can't I use the door?" Serena asked while being pulled in the window. There was a thud and the blonde was inside.

"Because you had us worried sick and that is what you deserve." The priestess stated with her arms crossed over her chest. The girls went back to the original seats.

"Yeah but I'm still injured. Did we forget that?" Serena sat up and noticed the bleeding on her right side and grimaced.

Amy noticed the action and looked to see what Serena was staring at. "Oh My God, Serena your bleeding!!" Amy rushed to her side and tried to examine the wound.

"Yeah that happens when stitches are pulled open before they are healed," Serena stated dryly.

"Where did you get stitches? You didn't go to the hospital as Sailor Moon? What were you thinking? You know better then that." All this from Amy.

"No I didn't go to the hospital. Tuxedo Mask stitched me up. So I didn't do anything wrong." Serena stuck her tongue out at Amy. But that was short lived when she felt a sharp pain in her side.

"Lets stop the bleeding and get you to bed so you can heal." Amy helped Serena stand and tried walking to her pallet when Raye got in front of them.

"Hold up, she can't just come waltzing in here and go to sleep without answering our questions first."

"Yes, I can. I am still the leader here and I need to rest. Or do you want me to bleed to death here?" Serena stated with some authority that made Raye rethink her tantrum.

Mina was the quietest one in the group for once. When Serena noticed she looked over at Mina. "Mina, what's wrong? Why are you so quite? I thought you would be happy to have me back," Serena questioned the other blonde. Then she noticed the tears in her eyes. She let go of Amy and stumbled over to Mina and hugged her.

"I am happy your back. That is what's wrong with me. I am so happy that I don't have to be leader anymore." Mina gently returned Serena's hug. Then she let her go and Amy again helped her to her pallet where she treated her reopened wounds.

"I have to say, he did a good job at stitching you up. I mean these are professional." Amy studied the stitches with interest.

"Amy you can admire his work later. Right now I would like to get fixed and get to bed," Serena growled impatiently.

"Ok, ok. Give me a second and you'll be as good as new." Amy quickly went to work and had her fixed in five minutes. "There you see all better." Amy put her medical stuff back in her backpack and laid down on her pallet.

"Thanks Ames. I think we all should get some sleep the play twenty questions in the morning." Serena yawned and laid down.

"It's going to be more then twenty questions. You can count on that," Raye grumbled as she turned off the light and the rest of the girls went to sleep.

Serena laid down and stared at the ceiling for a second. 'What was up with that kiss and that image? I never had that happen before. It was like in the movies.' Serena sighed and rolled on her side and groaned remembering her injuries and laid on her back. 'Tux's bed was better then this pallet. So were is arms.' She sighed again and closed her eyes to let sleep claim her.

****Rose Garden****

(Right after Tux yelled for Sailor Moon)

'Where did she go? I thought after that kiss she would want to stay.' Tux continued to watch where Moon disappeared to see if she just left to compose herself or if she really did leave him. 'I don't understand why she left. I mean I wouldn't want to leave after a kiss like that.' Then the flashback came to his mind. 'What was up with that? I've never had that happen when I kissed a girl.' Tux shock his head and decided to return to his apartment. He hopped on the balcony and detransformed. 'It feels good to be me again.' He walked over to his dresser and took out a pair of shorts then went to the bathroom and ran water for a shower. 'Hot or cold?' He looked down and decided cold to start. He stepped under the spray and said a harsh curse. He stood there for about five minutes before he had enough and switched on the hot water. As the water cascaded off his head and down his back he thought about that brief flash of something while kissing Moon. 'What was up with that? It was almost like a memory.' He groaned loudly as the hot water relaxed his stiff back muscles. 'It was like the how the doctors said I would get my memory of my past back. Like a flash it would be there then gone.' He turned the water off and stepped out of the shower and grabbed his towel. 'Was that a memory?' At that thought he dropped his towel and looked at the mirror with a shocked expression. 'It was a memory. But whose?' He shook his head and pick up the towel and finish drying and put his shorts on. He walked out of the bathroom and crawled into bed.

"Damn, my bed smells like her." He lifted his head and glared at his pillow. "Shit, wonder who will be in my dreams tonight my princess or my sailor?" He laid his head back down and closed his eyes and let his dream take over.

That is it. I can't believe I'm done. I'm so happy. Now on to the next chapter where I already stared. That flashback is about to be explained. So please forgive me and review and love me again. Moon Baby
