Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon ... but the Gods have been kind to me otherwise. I do own the villain(s) and The Watcher (aka Yoake/Guardian Eos)

A/N: It occurred to me at about 03:00 that I had failed to call the Prince, Endymion. Silly me. I'll be doing that from now on, so please don't be confused. Why? A purpose for everything, my friends, and everything for a purpose. So there.

Chapter 4

Before the Dawn

Prince Endymion turned his startled eyes from Helios' retreating back to Yoake's calm blue gaze. "A princess?" he whispered, "Of Earth?"

Venus stepped forward. "We should be getting back to the surface. We'll be missed soon."

Serenity nodded. She and Endymion transformed back to their warrior personas, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask. Yoake closed her eyes and changed back to her fuku (A/N: is that the right word?) as well. Following the lead of the others, she formed a circle with the others and they transported to the Cherry Hill Temple. After a quick glance around for Grandpa, Chad or any temple visitors, they quickly detransformed (A/N: Is that really a word?) to civilian clothing. All except Guardian Eos.

"Guardian Eos?" queried Serena.

Eos blushed. "I ... I don't have ..."

Serena ran up to her and clutched her hand, sympathy in her eyes. "Of course. How silly and thoughtless of me!" Serena looked at Raye, giving a small tug of her skirt while raising an eyebrow. Raye responded by running into her room in the temple. Serena began to tow Eos after Raye as she waved to the others. Go home and rest, everybody. We'll have a meeting tomorrow and discuss what to do next." She got Eos into Raye's room and closed the door. The girls waved good bye to Darien and slowly went their separate ways. Darien settled himself on the step outside Raye's room to wait.

The girls soon stepped out again, startling him out of his thoughts. Raye was wearing her usual temple robes and Serena was wearing a black dress with little bitty white hearts all over it. It had a sweetheart necklines, flowing short sleeves and a flare skirt. She didn't often wear black, but Darien thought she looked beautiful as usual. He looked to Yoake. She looked absolutely lovely in a dark green sun dress with spaghetti straps that tied at the shoulder. It had gold embroidery across the bust and at the hem. The green went well with her red hair although she looked a tad pale in it.

Darien looked to Raye. "Isn't that the dress Lita made for your Autumn Festival performance?"

Raye nodded, a pleased smile on her face. "Yes, but that's still a month away so I have plenty of time to find something else. Perhaps Lita will make me another ... in my colours this time." She winked and waved as she walked away. "I have to get me chores done. See ya tomorrow!"

"Well," Darien sighed, "I guess we should grab something to eat and head back to my place."

"Wait, Darien." Serena placed a hand on Darien's arm. "We need to come up with something to tell people first." She looked at Yoake. "I don't think calling you Yoake is a good idea. We don't want to draw attention to you anymore than necessary and most bad guys have long memories." Darien nodded, proud of Serena for suggesting this. She sure has come along way from the Sailor Moon who fought her first monster in Molly's mother's jewellery store.

The redhead tilted her head in thought. "My name translates into Dawn ... and I am Darien's sister. You can say that I finally tracked him down and came by to visit in hopes that he really was my brother."

Serena smiled. "Anybody who saw your eyes would know you to be related, Yoake. And I like the double 'D'(A/N: Dawn & Darien) idea, but I think we should take it a step further and avoid a direct translation."

"How about Aurora?" offered Darien.

Serena's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands. "Oh, I like that! We'll call you Rory for short! I'll call Mina tonight so that she can pass it on to Luna and Artemis."

The newly dubbed 'Rory' nodded and the three headed to the Crown for dinner. They got more than a few 'double-takes' as they walked along. They made quite a striking trio - black-haired Darien walking with his blonde wife on one arm and his titian red-haired sister on the other. Serena felt a bit short though, Rory had her brother's height. She was pleased that they had found his own family at last - even if it was his past one. He hadn't truly felt alone since he and Serena had met, but it made him feel more ... connected, she thought. She noticed it in his eyes, when Rory had said she was Darien's sister. Startled at the confirmation, then happy acceptance. A feeling of belonging. She wondered why Rory had stayed away so long. And what did Saturn mean, she hadn't been reborn? She pushed the questions away ... they would be answered soon enough. They walked in to the Crown.

I must stop here ... I've already been interrupted several times tonight and it's getting rather late. Please review. Flames and tomatoes welcome ... moronic comments are not. ^.^
