Hi, minna! Here is the next installment of "Remembering" This one is *supposed* to be a humorous chapter, it deals with the four generals and the senshi, and the royal couple's reaction to it---no more, I'll be telling you the whole story! But first, standard disclaimer applies, and I want to thank all the people who e-mailed me about this story. To my pal, Mako-chan, who reads all my stuff first, and who gives me tons of encouragement, to all the great writers out there, who make Sailor Moon more enjoyable everyday. Remembering Part 3 by: Sailor Starlite Darien gazed around the Earth, memories drifting back to him as he was on his land, his kingdom. He saw four figures moving close to him, and he started when he recognized the four generals from the Negaverse! He readied a rose attack, maybe catching them off guard. He glanced at Serenity beside him, surprised that she seemed so unconcerned at this new threat. "Serenity? What are the general doing here?" He asked quietly, not wanting to draw attention to himself. "Oh...why wouldn't they be here, Endymion? Oh, I get it! You thought they would be off with the Senshi!" He tried to control the dumbfounded look on his face, but it was hard. Malachite and the rest of the generals came up, smiling. Darien was beginning to believe that this was some huge trap. No matter that all the generals were long gone. Jedite reached for his hand, and Darien recoiled instantly, producing a rose in self-defense. Everyone looked shocked, especially Serenity. "Endymion? What is wrong? I know that there is evil forces approaching, but you are acting like your generals are a part of it!" Darien looked at her, surprised. She did not know? He decided to test his theory when he saw Zoisite coming towards Serenity with specific purpose. He threw the rose at her face, and was surprised when a *male* voice shouted in pain. Zoisite held his face. "Endymion? What is wrong with you? You attacked me! I thought you trusted us! I would never go after your princess. I am too anxious to see mine." Endymion stared. He was still trying to get over Zoisite being a male. "You're a male?" He spluttered, then passed out. Serena smiled as she leaned on Endymion's arm. This was a new experience for her, having Endymion/Darien actually showing his feelings for her. Earth was so beautiful. So free. She remembered that Earth had been one country at the time of the Silver Millinnium. She had her guards around her, and they actually treated her with repect too. Serena knew that this couldn't last forever, but she reveled in what she had. It was different, with everyone to take care of her. They saw a monster at one point, and Mars had to physically restrain her from helping. All of the scouts wondered what was wrong with their princess. "Look, there are the generals, ladies. Are you going to greet them?" Endymion asked, grinning. All the Scouts....Senshi nodded. Serena had to remind herself they were called Senshi during this time. It made more sense. Who would be afraid of something called a *scout*? Serena stared as she watched the four generals from the Negaverse in front of them, each bowing before a senshi. Ami even blushed and hugged...Zoisite? But...then she remembered. Zoisite had been male...and apparently, once good. And very in love with Ami. As the rest of the generals were in love with the other senshi. She saw Malachite escorting Minako, Nephrite escorting Jupiter(^_^yeah, Mako-chan!), Jedite escorting...Rei? She held back a laugh. Somehow it all fit, especially Zoisite and Ami. She wondered what possessed Beryl (sorry, couldn't resist) to make Zoisite a female. Perhaps his close friendship with Malchite. She grinned at the thought of how Darien would react to this news. Darien slowly sat up, holding his head and groaning. "Oh, what happened? I feel like I got hit with a brick wall." He muttered. He looked up and saw he was surronded by *his?* guards, and Serenity's. Serenity was sitting beside him, looking at him with worry in her big blue eyes. "Endy, are you okay?" She asked. Darien nodded, his headache receding. "Good. What happened?" She asked. He gestured at the generals. "Them...they showed up! I never expected the Scouts to join forces with the Negaverse, but I see them with Beryl's generals." Serenity looked at him with confusion. "Why do you say that they are Beryl's generals? I did not know that Lady Beryl had generals. And what is the Negaverse?" Darien closed his eyes, asking to get his memories back for this, at least. Nothing came, and could swear he heard laughter, the same laughter that was in his mind when he asked to be with his princess. He decided to play it off. "Um, some legend I heard about." He struggled with his memory. "I think it has to do with Metallia." There were collective gasps all around. "That is impossible, though. Metallia has been sealed away! She cannot escape without someone freeing her, and there is no one with the power to do that." Darien considered this. "So, how did you all hook up again? It seems that one day we all hated eachother, and now its total love." Ami laughed. "I know. The first meeting was a little rocky. Serenity managed to convince us that Earth *was* good, but we were still suspicious." Malachite laughed. "I never saw such power before in females! I knew right away to respect you. Endymion was adament, too, in that the Moon was a safe place. But that was nothing compared to when Serenity's mother found out about our 'alliance.'" "Do you remember your mother's reaction when she found out about us?" Endymion asked. Everyone laughed, and Serena tried to remember. She just remembered there had been alot of unease. Rei laughed, leaning up against Jedite. "Poor Serenity! When Queen Serenity spotted them together, our princess turned the color of her hair! She had *no* idea that Pluto had talked with her about this a week prior to the discovery!" Serena couldn't help grinning at the picture the two young loves must've made. She snuggled against Endymion, and he put his arm around her. She loved all of this, and wished that it would never end. Darien looked down at the young princess asleep in his arms. He wished that he could just forget the dreams, and hold his Serena like this. For him to spend the rest of his life with her. The Princess Serenity was a beautiful creature, with the grace and charm of a goddess, but he wanted to see his Serena again. He gently kissed the side of Serenity's head, and then drifted off to sleep himself. Serena woke up dizzily, staring about her. She was wrapped in Darien's arms...Darien's, not Endymion's! She froze, not wanting to move. She realized that she was back in the 20th century, and back with the man who said he didn't love her, that he didn't want to be ruled by the past. She gave a quiet sob, and pulled out of his arms. They tightened around her, and she heard a murmered, 'Serenity.' She pulled out of his arms completely. He still cared for the princess, not her! She ran from his place, from his cold, uncaring heart. Darien woke up, feeling Serenity's presence still in his arms. He murmered her name, and was surprised when he felt her pull away from him. He opened his eyes a crack and saw two godlen pigtails feeling his presence. The next thing he knew was a pink-haired girl (for a second he thought he was having a nightmare about a giant pink pig attacking him) jumping on him. "Darien, we have to talk."
