(roovel@aol.com) Tsukino Residence.... "Do you think Darien still loves me?" Serena asked Luna in her bedroom. "Of course he does, Serena," Luna said sitting on her bed and joining Serena. "Yeah well he doesn't really show it." "Well Darien is like that. He keeps his feelings to himself, and I am very sure he will come back to you. Someday." "Really? Well I guess so. I should never doubt him. But, he is always seeing Reenie. I'm beginning to think that she has replaced..." "Rubbish! She is just a little girl," said Luna. "A mysterious little girl too." "Who do you think she really is?" she said changing the subject. "I don't know. You're the one who is always following her, or she is the one is always following you. Don't you know *anything* about her. You should. You have to jog your memory tonight, because we have to find out who she is ASAP," Luna lectured. "Okay, okay. I'll jog my memory tonight and see (yawn) where it will lead too. Goodnight Luna," she said turning the bed lamp off. "Good night Serena." That night Serena had visions and dreams of the past present, and the Future... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PAST "Prince Dimando is visiting today Serenity," said Queen Serenity to her twelve year old daughter. "Really!? Yay! I really miss him a lot," she said with a smile. "When is he coming?" "He is coming in about an hour dear." 1 hour later... "Dimando!" exclaimed Serenity as she ran to him in the foyer and gave him bear hug. "Serenity," said Dimando. "Nice to see you, but could you let go of the death grip," he said coldly. She looked up at him and saw the most coldest eyes she had ever seen, and immediately let go of him. "Thank you Serenity. Act a bit more lady like in the future okay? Good. Now excuse me, I have some business to attend. Serena couldn't believe the guy she loved and trusted didn't want to see her. "Is everything all right?" Prince Endymion asked Serena who was crying on a bench next to a pond. She looked up and saw the most deepest blue eyes. "Um, yeah everything is all right," she said, quickly wiping her tears away. "Don't cry," he said. "Here," he said handing her a rich red rose. "Thank you...?" "Prince Endymion of Earth, here at your service, milady," he said giving her a bow. She giggled. "Thank you Prince Endymion of Earth." "Just call me Endymion," he smiled. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< > "NO Dimando! Don't go!" cried Serenity in the palace grounds, pulling Dimando's arm. "Serenity, I want to join the Black Moon Family, so I can be more powerful. When I come back, wouldn't you want a more powereful husband?" he said coolly. "No! Being you will be fine. Don't go, please. You've heard all the stories about people joining the Black Moon Family and never returning! Don't go! "I will go if I wish. Good bye Serenity," he said jerking his arm away and boarding his vessel. Serenity just let the tears course down her face, and watched her love leave her forever. PRESENT "I want to go home Pluto," cried Reenie to her Luna Ball. "You have to retrieve the Silver Crystal first, Princess. Then you can come home," said Pluto. thought Serena who was eavesdropping Reenie's conversation. "I want to go home to Mommy!" FUTURE "Darien Chiba, do you take Serena Tsukino to be your lawful wedded wife?" "I do." "And you, Serena Tsukino take Darien Chiba to be your lawful wedded husband?" "I do." "You may kiss the bride." "Darien we're finally married!" He laughed. "Darien help me!" Serena cried as she was being taken away by something, someone. "Serena! Serena! NNNNOOOOO!!!!!" cried Darien. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx She shot up straight from her bed, with sweat covering her face. She saw her photo frame, (which had a picture of her and Darien) break. She looked at her clock, and saw that it was 7:30. "My, my, aren't we up early for a Saturday morning?" said Luna. "Luna! I had the most horrible dream, and...and I think I know who Reenie's mother is, who the Black Moon Family is, and why Darien broke up with me," she said in one quick breath. "Well, you can't rely on a dream to tell you the truth," said Luna. "We'll ask Raye about it. Now quickly get dressed. There is a scout meeting in half an hour, and then you have to pick Reenie up from Darien's place. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Raye's Temple 8:00am... "Well, well, well. Who do have here? Meatballs for brains has finally come to join us at the right time," said Raye while she watched Serena sit next Mina, across to her. "Be quiet Raye! I can be on time when ever I like!" she said sticking out her tounge to Raye. Raye did the same, as they started a toungue war. "Now girls!" said Luna. "We don't have enough time to play around. Serena you said you had a dream about something. Raye I think you should do a fire reading on it." The girls stopped their war. "I only can read dreams in the fire if you have any *object* reffering to it. "I thought you might say that, so I brought something." She pulled out a photo frame of a happy couple out of her bag and gave it to Raye. Everyone gasped. "Serena! I didn't think you hated him this much!" said Mina. "Yeah! You should have told me you changed your mind about him so I could have punched his eyeballs out," said Lita. "I don't hate him! The crack appeared after I had my dream," said Serena. "Well I could do a fire reading on this, but you have to tell me who is in the dream. "Okay," said Serena. Everyone made their way into the fire reading room. "So who is in the dream?" asked Raye. "Well, the first part of my dream was set in the Silver Millennium, and there was my mother, Endymion, and someone named Dimando. He is the one who is going to join the Black Moon Family..." 2 and a half hours later... Lita, Mina, Amy, Luna and Artemis were sleeping on the floor, while Raye and Serena were trying to get to the bottom of Serena's dream. "So you think Dimando was my past lover, who joined the Black Moon Family, and probably rules it, Reenie's mother is a Queen, Darien broke up with me because he staying near me will kill me," said Serena. "Mmm. That's the only explaination," said Raye exhausted. "I'll try again if you want me too." "No, that's okay," Serena said. "You've done enough for me now," she smiled. "Thanks." "Your welcome. I'll try and get Reenie to tell me, because she is the key to the whole thing." "AAAAAAHHHHHH! I was meant to pick Reenie up half an hour ago! Gotta go Raye." thought Raye. As Serena was heading to Darien's apartment, she thought about Darien, and how he has been acting lately. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Darien's apartment building... Ding dong! Serena rang the door-bell for the second time. thought Serena. She walked to the lift, and when the doors opened she was met by the most deepest blue eyes. "Darien! I want to have a little talk with you," she said with a little anger in her voice. "Oh really?" he said. "Yeah! Now I want an explanation. Why did you dump me?" she asked a little lamely. The lift doors shut between them, but Darien pressed the open button, and stepped out into the hallway. Luckily there was no one around. "That is none of you business Serena!" he said walking to his apartment. "Yes it is!" she said, jerking his shoulder to her so he could face her. "Is it because you are having nightmares of me dying, when we get married?" He had a startled expression on his face. She thought she had hit the jackpot. "Is that it! Is that it!" she said jumping around. "You think I dumped you because of some stupid nightmare?" he laughed, coldly. She got frightened. "I dumped you because I DON'T LOVE YOU!" he shouted. She whimpered under his hateful gaze and ran and cried though the hallways toward the lift. People in neighboring apartments had heard what he had said and saw the conversation from the beginning (because they were pretty loud) and closed their doors to Darien in disgust. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Tokyo Park... "WHY!!!" shouted Serena who was sitting under a tree. "ALIEN!!!" came a shout from the central part of the park. "Oh not again," mumbled Serena. "Moon Crystal Power!" When she arrived on the scene by the lake, there was a woman who had fainted, and a man with a black upside-down moon on his forehead, wearing some kind of armor and a cape, with a portal high above him. "Hey you! Nega-trash! You will pay for stealing people's energy! I am Sailor Moon, Champion of Love and Justice! And in the name of the Moon I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! That means you! "Serenity," said the mysterious figure. "Huh?" she said, droping her famous pose. "Serenity," he said taking a step closer. "Oh Serenity!" he said embracing her. "You have grown more beautiful over the years!" *** Deep within the shadows, a black clad figure with a white mask was watching his love and a mysterious man... *** "Dimando," whispered Sailormoon. "You remember me, Princess!" She backed away from him. "You...you left me...to join the evil force." "But now I'm back aren't I?" he said opening his arms to her. *** *** "Then w...why do you have that?" she asked pointing to his birth-mark on her forehead. "What? This? I rule the Black Moon Kingdom, Serenity." *** The figure nearly fell off the tree. *** She gasped, eyes wide with shock. "I knew you would be surprised. I have extreme power my Princess. We can rule the world Serenity, you and me. Come on now, that portal will only last a few more minutes," he said walking closer to her. "Dimando, I d...don't love y...you anymore." *** *** "What!?" "I don't love you anymore! You left me to join s...some evil forces and n...never returned!" she said tears flowing from her eyes. "Oh Serenity," he said coming closer to comfort her. "Don't touch me! Do you know how much you hurt me? I was so alone, until Endymion came, and I learnt to love him and he gave and showed me love in return!" "Now come on Princess. You can't believe that Endymion loves you. He pushes you away every time he sees you." *** *** "W...well, I know he doesn't mean that," she said. "I know he still loves me," she said soflty. "He may have loved you then, but he doesn't now. I still love you Serenity." "No! I'm not going with you! I'm not going to leave my friends and family just to...to go with you!" "As you wish my Princess, but I warn you, I still love you and I will have you someday," he said as he vanished into the portal. Raye's temple Sunday morning ... "Hi guys!" greeted Serena as she sat down next Lita, completing the circle. "Hi Serena!" said Amy. "Where's Reenie?" "She's at a friends house at the moment, with Luna" replied Serena. "Oh that's good! Because do *we* have news for you!" said Mina excited. "Ah ...Mina I don't think you should tell her yet," said Raye. "We know who Reenie's parent's are! Thanks to *you* and your dreams..." said Mina. "Not now!" said Raye between clenched teeth. "Oh really!" said Serena not noticing that Raye was elbowing Mina in the ribs. "Well out with it! Who are they?" "Weeellll," said Mina. "They are a King and Queen, because Reenie is a princess as you know..." Serena's expression darkened. "....and...oh what the hec...it is you and Darien!" Serena's expression darkened even more. Everyone else just glared a Mina. "See! I told ya Darien would come back to you someday! Otherwise you won't be able to *make* Reenie!" said Mina with a huge smile on her face. But that was immediately wiped off as she saw Serena's expression. "What's the matter Serena? Aren't you glad that Darien finally comes back to you?" "He comes back when we are King and Queen?" Serena asked. "Yeah..." thought Serena as silent tears rolled down her face. "I...I'll see you g...guys later," she said running out the door. "What's with her?" asked Mina. "Now she thinks that Darien only comes back to her because of Destiny!" said Amy. "Or now she might think that he only loved Serenity and not *her*" Raye said. "I hope she's okay," said Lita worry clearly written on her face. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Tokyo Park... She just ran and ran not caring where she was going. She then bumped into a familiar figure. "Hey Serena. How are...? Are you okay, Serena?" asked Derek, helping her up. Serena cried as Derek held her. "Serena, do you want me to take you home?" She nodded, as her tears dried up. They started walking on the footpaths of Tokyo, as Serena quietly told him which directions to take. "So...are you all right now?" She nodded. "Do you...you want to talk about it?" She shook her head. "This is my house," she said quietly again. She walked to the door as Derek watched her. She rang the bell and Mr. Tsukino answered and at the same time saw Derek. He stepped out onto the porch and couldn't believe who he saw. "Derek???" To be continued... This must be the lamest part I have ever written. I don't really like this part, but it was the only way to explain some things. I'll have the next part out next week.
