"House of Memories" By Sailor Staria

PART 11

Once Andrew and I got my keys away from Linds we went back to the funeral.
Almost everyone had left, except a few who where looking for Serena. Andrew
and Linds both had to get going.
"We'll keep an eye out for Serena." Andrew said.
"See you tomorrow cape boy." Linds said and they left. Once they were out
of sight Serena went back to her normal form.
"We'd better get back in there." She said. We walked in and were bombarded
with questions. "Serena where were you?" "Are you ok?"
"Darien how's your shoulder?" "Who was that lady?"
"Do you know the scouts or something?"
"QUIET!!!!!!!!!!!" Samantha finally yelled. "Serena where did you go??"
"I.....um...... Well you see.... I um........"
"She was hiding in the parking lot." I said. "Is that true young lady?"
"Yes. I got scared and ran."
"Alright. I'll believe you this time. I guess we're done here. The burials
tomorrow. We're leaving Tuesday morning."
"WHAT?!?!?!?!?" Lita, Ami, and Rei gasped.
"I'm taking her to California with me."
"And I told you I'm not going." Serena said bitterly. "I have obligations
here, to my friends, to my school work, and to myself. I'm telling you for
the last time, I'm staying."
"You insolent little bitch. Serenity I'm not fooling around. YOU ARE NOT
STAYING HERE!!!!!!!!!!!"
Michiru gasped. She obviously hadn't hard how Serena's aunt treated her or I
guess I could say Serenity.
"Y...y..y your real name's Serenity." Michiru managed to get out.
"Yes. But my parents always called me Serena for short." Michiru's eyes got
large with knowledge of some sort. "What's wrong Michiru?"
She snapped out of it, "Oh nothing. It just reminded me of an old legend.
I've got to be going." Michiru left, but signed the guest book before doing so.
That was strange. Samantha looked as if she was about to say something when
Serena cu her off. "Darien I want to go home." "Ok, come on." I said.
Everyone else stared to leave as well. Serena grabbed the guest book as we
headed out side. As we got in the car we could hear Samantha cursing at us.
I started up the engine and left.
"I wish things hadn't been that way." Serena said after a while. "Mom and
dad would have been so ashamed."
I wasn't sure what to say. We were both silent for the rest of the ride home.
Once we were back at the house Serena decided to take a nap. I sat in the
living room and read the guest book. I skipped over Samantha's and read the
others.Serena,
You're a great friend and a kind person. Your parents taught you well. I'm
sorry they never learned who you really are.Ami MizuroSerena,
I know what it's like to lose your family. You're handling it much better
than I did. They'd be proud of you.Lita KinoMiss Tsukino,
Your father was a hard worker and a great employee. I hope that you grow up
to be the same.Mr. Lynn (Note: I made this guy Kenji's boss)Serena,
I remember watching you and your mother walking in the park when you were
little. You've become a very beautiful young woman. I know Ikuko was proud
of you.Ms. Umi Chang (Note: This lady was Ikuko's friend)Serena,
Shingo was a very good friend to me. I think he learned from you. Thank
you.Mika CasidySerena,
You taught me to believe in myself. For that I thank you. I'm sure your
parents are still watching over you, only from afar.Peggy Jones.
There were about 30 or so more just like those. The last two caught my
attention.Serena,
I know I've been a bitch lately. I'm sorry. I know I wasn't helping you
through his one bit. I don't hate you. I just get angry sometimes. I came in
just as Darien said he was your boyfriend. It hurt a little, but I think I
see what he ment before on the phone. You two do look good together and your
personalities even each other out. I feel a very strong karma and bond
between you two. I'm glad you found each other. I hope you'll both forgive
me for the way I've acted.Rei HinoSerenity,
I must speak with you ASAP. Alone.Michiru Kaiou
P.S. You can reach me at the Tokyo Plaza Hotel. Room 754.
That was odd. Why didn't Michiru call her Serena?? Why does she need to
speak to her alone???? I decided to wake Serena up.
I went up to her room and found her looking out her window. I walked over
to her and wrapped my arms around her shoulders. She jumped a little and
turned her head slightly. "What's on your mind?" I asked.
"A lot of things. The new scouts, Aunt Samantha, the play, the Negaverse,
the crystals, the princess, my family, us." She listed.
"Well I've got something to add to your list." "What's that?"
"Here." I handed her the book. "Read the last one. It's from Michiru."
Serena read the short entry. "Darien. I'm going. Will you come with me?"
"But she wants you to go alone." "Oh well."
"Ok. Let be change first. I feel too dressed up for once."
"Me too." She giggled looking at her black dress. I left and changed into
some jeans and a white button down shirt. I walked out into the hall at the
same time as Serena. She was wearing her blue jumper with a white, hooded
tank top. "Ready?" She asked.
"Yep, let's get moving." I put on my sunglasses and Serena started to
laugh. "What?"
"You're acting like we're running from the cops!!!!" She laughed. I picked
her up and threw her over my good shoulder.
"Then I guess you're my hostage." Serena started to pond on my back.
"Aahhhhh!!!" I yelled in agony as she accidently hit my bandaged shoulder. I
dropped Serena and fell to the floor in excruciating pain. She go back on
her feet and came over to me.
"I'm sorry!!!! Ididn'tmeantodothat!!!! Don'tbemad!!!!"
"It's ok......Serena. I know you..... didn't mean to. I can't believe I'm
being such a wimp." I tried to laugh away the pain. I slowly got up. "I'll
be fine. Let's go."

PART 12
"Well here we are." I said. We were standing outside of Michiru's hotel
room. Serena gently knocked on the door. Michiru opened it.
"Oh! Serenity, I'm glad you came, but I asked you to come alone." Michiru
looked at me. "Well whatever you need to tel me Darien can hear too."
"Well, alright, but what I'm going to ell you is very important. Come in."
We went into the room and sat down.
"Serenity, the silver crystal must be found immediately. Beryl is growing
anxious and will do anything to destroy you and your scouts. Keep your guard
up and don't be fooled. She may ry anything."
"Michiru are you ok???" Serena asked.
How does she know this stuff???? Can we trust her???
"I'm fine Serenity. I can tell I'm only confusing you. I'll tell you more
later."
"Come on Serena let's go." I said. "Good bye Michiru." Serena said good
bye and we left. "That was weird." She said once we were in the car.
I nodded in agreement. "So when are you planing to go back to school?"
"Oh I don't know. I'm already behind. Tuesday I guess."
"How about I stop by your school on my way to class tomorrow and pick up
your things? I'll even help you get caught up."
"Ok. Ms. H will flip if she thinks I'm actually paying attention to mt
school work." "Well your parents would want you to at least try Serena."
"I know and I do sort of owe it to them, but I'm no good a school work."
"As I said. I'll help you with it." I laughed. "What time is it?"
"About four. Why?
"I'm kinda hungry." Her stomach growled. We boh laughed and I pulled into a
near by Pizza Hut. We went in and ordered a large pepperoni pizza. As we
waited in out booth brought up our meeting with Miss Kaiou.
"I wonder how she knew all that stuff." Serena said.
"Maybe she's one of he new scouts."
"I guess that could be it, but it's really bothering me."
"We'll find out a tomorrow's meeting, meatball head." She shot me a cute
look. "I hope so. Well what did Linds think of my singing?" I smiled.
"You'll find out tomorrow."
"Oh come on. You know something. PLEASE!!!!!!"
"Nope. Linds made me promise no to tell you yet." "How come?"
"It's a surprise."
"PLLLLEEEEEAAAASE!!!!!!!!! I'll act surprised. I promise."
"My mouth's closed."
"You're sooooo mean." she kicked me playfully in the leg, from under the
table. "I'm getting he urge to tickle someone again."
"Eep!!! No more tickling!!!" The look on her face was s funny. I couldn't
help but smile a her. She blushed slightly and took a sip of her soda. We
sat there in silence for a little while. Then Serena noticed the jukebox.
Her eyes lit up and she walked over to it. She started to flip through the
elections and hen she got really happy. She put a quarter in the machine and
entered in a few numbers. Then she came back and sat down.
"So what did you pick???" "You'll see."
After a few minutes Celine Dion's "Where is the love" started to play.
"I love this song." Serena said as our pizza came. We listened as we ate.

We went home and found that Aunt Samantha was gone.
"She must have woken up and left." I said. "Yeah."Ring Ring Ring....
"Hello." Serena said, "Oh hi Molly. Yeah.........." I decided to watch some
tv while Serena talked with her friend.
The rest of the evening went smoothly and I went to bed at ten thirty since
I had classes in the morning.

Part 13
I woke up at 7:30. My first class wasn't until 10:00 but I had to sop at
Serena's school on the way. I got dressed in my favorite out fit (Staria: "I
swear the guy only has about ten out fits. His dry cleaners must burn down
often." Darien: "Lindsey SHUT UP!!!!!!!!" Staria: "Do I have to put HER in
this story???" Darien: {Backs away slowly} NO!!! ANYTHING but HER!!!!!
Staria: "Ok. That's what I thought, now can I get back to the story?) jeans,
black turtle neck and my green blazer. (Staria: That he wears about 85% of
the entire 200 episodes!!!!! {Darien growls.} Staria: "Awwww how cute!!!
heeeheeehee!!!!) I headed downstairs. To my surprise Serena was already up
and was making pancakes. "Morning muffin." she said as I walked in the room.
Muffin????? Ok whatever. "Morning. What are you doing up so early?"
"I don't really know. I just woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. So I
decided to attempt to make us breakfast."
I looked at the plate she set in front of me at the table. They looked
alright, but still. I cut into one and batter oozed out.
"Um..... Serena..... they're not done yet. Look."
"Ohhh!!! I'm sorry!! I'm not the best cook."
"It's ok." I stood up and gave her a quick kiss. "It's the thought that
counts. I'm not hungry anyway. I'll see you this afternoon." Her arms found
their way around my neck.
"Ok. Have a good day." We kissed once again, longer this time, before I
left.
I reached Juban around 8:15. Classes had already started. I walked down the
hall to Ms. Haruna's room. I had Ms. H when I was in high school. I could
hear her talking as I reached the room. I decided to listen in a bit before
going in. I stood by the wall and listened in.
"Now class, today we'll be studding William Shakespeare's "Romeo and
Juliet. Now so that you can understand the play beer, we'll act out key
parts. Josh read Romeo's part on page 44. Act 2 scene 2, line 2." Ms. H said.
"But soft; what light through yonder window breaks?" Josh said blandly
read.
"No, no, no. Josh you have to get into your role. You are Romeo and you
love Juliet. Now try again." Josh did and didn't do much better.
"This is pointless, Ms. H." Josh said. Ms. H was getting upset and about to
choose another student when id decided to drop in. I might as well give her
a hand while I'm at it. Let's wow them!
I swept into the room and got down on one knee. "But soft; what light
through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is he sun! Arise
fair sun and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief.
That thou her maid art far more fair than she. Be not her maid, since she is
envious. Her vestal livery is but sick and green, and none but fools do wear
it. Cast it off. It is my lady; O, it is my love!" Once I finished Ms. H and
many of the students clapped. I stood up and took a bow. I saw ms. H looking
at me. "Darien Chiba? Is that you?" "In the flesh Ms. H."
"Well I see your acting skills have only improved. What brings you back
here?"
"Well I told a friend I'd pick up the work she'd missed on my way to the
university. But I saw you struggling so I decided to lend a hand. Or at lest
some acting experience."
"One on MY students??? But only Serena Tsukino's missed because of the,
well, accident."
"Yeah, I know. She asked me to get her suff." I swear the whole class hit
the floor.
"Are we taking about the same Serena Tsukino?" Ms. H finally asked.
"Yes." I laughed. "She said that you'd be shocked."
"Well um, all right. Here's the work she's missed." I was handed a small
pile of papers. "How do you know Serena any way?"
"We met at the Crown arcade. I've been helping her through...... well you
know." Ms. H nodded. "Any way, since I'm here, there's going to be a play
put on at the little theater in two weeks. It's a different form of "Romeo
and Juliet." It's called "A Moonlight Legend." It's about Prince Endymoin of
Earth, played by me," I took a quick bow, "and Princess Serenity of the Moon
Kingdom." "Hey Darien, who's playing Serenity? Linds?" Lita asked.
"No It's not Linds, but I'll give you a hint. Lita she's one of your
friends. Don't tell her if you figure it out. She still doesn't know." I
winked. " It's a little surprise from Linds and me to cheer her up." Lita's
eyes lit up with knowledge. "I won't tell the princess." Lita laughed.
"Who is it?" Ms. H asked.
"Well she's got he biggest heart of anyone I know. Blond hair and bright
blue eyes. To find out come to the play. Now if you'll all excuse me, Linds
is gonna rag me out if I'm late to rehearsal again. Hope to see you all at
the play." I left and as I did I heard a few of the girls sigh and start
babbling about me. I laughed and walked back out to motorcycle and headed
for drama class.
"NO! The tree goes on the left!" Linds was ordering people around when I
walked in. "Queen Serenity. Queen Terra. You two are need for costume
fittings. Jessica, I need you to alter Tiffany's dress, she got mono, and
the new girl's shorter and slightly thinner. Jade have you got that add
written yet?" "Yes." Jade called from the corner of the stage.
"Good. Now where's Capeboy?"
"Right here Linds, calm down. What on earth are you wearing!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
Linds was wearing a Sailor Scout uniform. The collar, skirt, and boots were
black and the bows were dark red. A red gem was set in the tiara. She was
also holding a blue staff that looked like a giant key.
"Our story teller 'Pluto' quit on us. I'm gonna kill Reika!!!!!!! What's
more important than this play???? SHOPPING!!!!! SHE QUIT BECAUSE IT WAS
CUTTING IN ON HER SHOPPING TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now I have to do it!"
Linds started to calm down and recomposed herself. "Any way. I got a call
from the Michiru Kaiou girl, and she offered to get us a band for the play
for FREE!!! She sure is nice. I wonder why she decided to be so nice to you
and Serena." "Who knows, Linds. Who knows."
"Listen we really need Serena here for rehearsal. Can you go get her? That
is if she's not in school." "Sure. I'll be back." I left again.
Once I reached the door I could hear shouting and yelling from inside. I
looked across the street and saw a familiar BMW. Samantha! I barged in the
house with fire in my eyes and heart. At the foot of the steps Serena was
holding her ground.
"I will stand for no more of your insubordination." Samantha said.
"I'm not leaving." Serena said firmly. Samantha seemed taken back, as id
royalty had just scoffed at her. It was weird. Then Samantha came out of her
shock and hit Serena. Serena didn't move an inch. There was something
different about her. She seemed stronger , more powerful in a way. She
looked at me and smiled, then went back to glaring at her aunt. Samantha
turned to me. Her eyes were cold. Unnaturally cold.
Samantha started to glow with power. A shadowy figure rose out of her and
she slumped onto the floor. The shadow formed into a monster with pale green
skin and electric blue hair. It's eyes glowed in a shade of blood red. Three
inch, razor sharp, yellow claws sprouted from it's hands. It dove at Serena
screaming. Serena managed to jump out of the way. "MOON PRISM POWER!!!!"
I transformed too. The creature saw me and I lured it out side. It followed
ans Sailor Moon ran out after us. Skipping her speech she readied her tiara.
I moved out of the way.
"MOON TIARA MAGIC!!!!!!" The creature was moon dust. We quickly went back
inside and untransformed. Samantha was out cold on the floor still.
"You ok?" I asked.
"Yes. I guess it was that thing that had control of my aunt. Sure she was
kind of mean to begin with, but she never ever tried to hurt me. What are
you doing here any ways? I thought you had class."
"I do but Linds 'ordered' me to come and get you for rehearsal."
"Ok let me change first." she bounded up the steps. I moved Samantha on to
the couch. Serena came back down in her school uniform. Luna was perched on
her shoulder. "You coming too Luna?" I asked.
"Yes. I'm curious about your friend Lindsey. She seems to know about as
much as I do about the Silver Millennium. I could tell from reading your
copy of her play." "Linds is kinda way out there. If you get my drift."
"Let's get going. I wanna find out what my part is." We went out side and
took my car this time instead of the cycle.
We headed into the building. Luna was once again on Serena's shoulder. We
walked in to auditorium like room and Luna saw Linds's costume.
"It's a Scout Uniform!!!!!!" Luna said. " Where did she get
that?!?!?!?!?!?"
"She made it Luna." I said. "She wants to be fashion designer. This class
was just for fun."
"WOW!!!! Linds made that. Cool." Serena said. Linds turned around and run
over to us. She bowed jokingly in front of us.
"You're highness." She said and stood up strait again.
"Hello brave Sailor Scout." I laughed. "Not you Cape boy."
"Then who?"
"The princess." Linds turned and called to everyone else. "Hey!!!
Serenity's here." "Linds. I told you to call me Serena."
"I know. Serenity is your character." "Princess Serenity." I added.
"REALLY!!!!!!!!! I'm the PRINCESS?????"Linds and I nodded.
"WOW!!!" Serena started bouncing around causing Luna to go flying into the
air, but I caught her.
"What a cute kitty." Linds said and took Luna out of my arms and started to
pet her. She took the moon cat and started to walk towards the stage. Serena
and I followed. "Serena what's you cat's name?" "Luna."
"She's so cute with that little crescent moon. Serena you need to be fitted
for your dress." She said and sat down in a chair. Her voice sounded as if
she was drifting off into another world. "Luna looks just like one of the
cats in my dreams." "What dreams?" I asked my friend.
"The once that gave me the idea for this play. There's a beautiful kingdom
on the moon. It's very lovely and peaceful. A queen, named Serenity, rules
and her daughter, Princess Serenity, is learning from her. They get along
well with all the other kingdoms through out the silver millennium. The
princess and a prince from Earth are in love. A ca, just like Luna, is the
princess's guardian along with the Sailor Scouts. Only this cat can turn
into a human." Luna's ears perked up a little more. "But some evil force is
turning the Earth kingdom against the moon. I don't know why, but it seems
more like a past, than a dream." Linds looked like she was about to start
crying. I went over and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You ok Linds?"
She looked up at me and laughed a little. More at herself than anything.
"Yeah. I probably sound like I'm crazy. Right?" "Not completely."
"Thanks Darien. You're a real friend. You always know how to cheer me up.
Or at least prove to me that I'm not insane." She gave me a small punch in
the arm. "Well let's get you two in your costumes." Linds hurried us over to
the dressing rooms, occasionally swinging that goofy staff around. I picked
up my costume and Linds handed Serena a white gown of some sort.
Once I had the costume on that strange sense of duty came back. I felt more
powerful than when I was Tuxedo Mask. It frightened me a little. I walked
out of the small dressing room and over to Linds, my cape flowing silently
behind me. Linds had her hand on her head, as if a bad migraine had
started. (Staria: "Like when Darien was about to transform before he knew he
was Tux, only minus the sparking lights and only one hand." Darien: "Will
you stop this and just write the story!!!!" Staria: "Gee wiz. Maybe I WILL
have to add HER in later.")
"What's wrong Linds?" I asked. She didn't answer but her face contorted in
pain. "Linds? Linds!!" I took a hold of her shoulders and shook her, "Snap
out of it!" Luna was perched on a near by chair watching. Finally Linds's
eyes snapped open and she shook her head side to side.
"What happened?" I asked.
"I'm not sure. I saw a flash of light and some one was talking to me. I
could see him or understand what he was saying."
"Linds, we've been friends since eighth grade. Lately you haven't really
been yourself. You sure you're ok?"
"Yeah but I've been getting these........ visions.... a lot. It's as if
someone's trying to tell me something, but I don't know what. It's so
confusing." "When did they start?"
"Um..... I think right after the masquerade."
Linds is like a sister to me and I wan to help her. I have no clue how though.
"How about we talk about this later." she said.
"Ok." Serena walked out just after I said it. Now she DID look like the
princess in my dreams. The dress was trimmed in gold and made her look very
regal. Then she tipped on the hem of the dress. She fall forward but I ran
up and caught her. Serena blushed a little ans I could see Linds smiling at
us through the corner of my eye. She had picked Luna up again. She sure does
like that cat.

"You two look great." Linds said. "Just like the prince and Princess in my
dream." She sat down with Luna on her lap. " Why don't you start from the
garden seen. Darien you know what to do."
Serena took her place and I went back stage and waited for my cue.
Serenity: [looking at a rose bush] I truly don't understand how such beauty
can come from such a terrible place. I don't understand why everyone thinks
Earth is so bad.[Enter Endymion]
Endymion: It's because there are forces on earth that are trying to turn in
against the Moon and the other kingdoms in this system. It's true that there
are many beautiful things there but none of them compare to your beauty.
Serenity: [blushes] Thank you, but you should have announced yourself. You
scared me.
Endymion: I'm sorry fair lady, but I saw you here and you looked distressed.
What's troubling you?Serenity: Oh nothing I'd want you to worry about.
Endymoin: Please I'd like to help if I can.
Serenity: I'm just not sure how I fit into the whole..... oh forget it. Are
you coming to the ball to night, sir?
Endymion: I was hoping to have time before I have to head home.
Serenity: Well then I'll have to save you a dance. If you'll excuse me I
have to go get ready.
Endymion: Be careful maiden. [Exit Serenity] She didn't recognize me. Thank
the God and Goddess. If she had I'd be in big trouble. I don't know how they
talked me into this. The Princess is very beautiful. If I'm not careful
she'll steal my heart away. I hope the queen doesn't recognize me. I'm sure
she wouldn't hesitate in eliminating the crown Prince of earth. It's all
Matalia's fault. If only my parents were still around. How Beryl was chosen
as my guardian I'll never figure out. I'd better make the best of my stay.
[exit Endymion]
"That was great you guys!!!! You were like totally them. Your posture and
everything seemed to change to fit them!!!" Linds said. We got off the stage
and Linds eyes nearly popped out of her head. "Sere...Sere....Sere....."
"What is it Linds?" Serena asked.
"There's a..... a..... moon your........ forehead!!!!!" I looked and sure
enough there was. Linds was totally freaking out and saying she was going
crazy. Serena ran over to a mirror to see for herself.
"Linds calm down." I said. "But....." "Just calm down."
"Ok. Ok. I'm calm." "No you're not." "YES I AM!!!!"
"I think we've done enough today."
"Yeah. I need a break. A LONG break." Linds sat down and I went over to
Serena. "It's gone." "What?" I asked.
"It's gone. One minute in was there and now it's gone again."
"That's weird." Serena nodded in agreement. "Why don't you go change out of
your dress. We're done for today. Linds is going nuts."
"Serena held back a giggle, "Ok, I'll be right back."

Part 14
It was time for my next class when Serena came back out in her normal
cloths. It bought up a new question. What was she going to do while I sat
through Genentechs??? "I'll just take a bus home." Serena said.
"Hey! How about you come with me to my classes Serena." Linds said she was
still in that ridiculous sailor costume.
"You probably have fun meat ball head." I said.
"What are you taking?" Serena asked.
"Fashion design. Then I have a voice class with cape boy after it."
"Ok. You don't mine do you Darien?"
"No. You wouldn't like my class any ways. It's Genentechs." Serena made a
silly face at me. "Linds you might want to change cloths you know." I said
as headed to Perry hall.
"Oh shove it. Everyone already thinks I'm nuts. Come on Serena you can be
my model." Serena and Linds went off in the other direction to Pluto hall.
That proved it. These visions where getting to Linds. I know her, she would
have changed her cloths. Instead, though, she was going to class in her
costume. I'd have to talk to her about it later.
I sat through Genetics, taking notes and what not. Two hours until voice
class. It had been Linds's idea for me to take voice and drama with her.
"You'll go nuts if you don't take some fun courses." She had said at the
beginning of the year. She basically knew what she was talking about too.
The extra classes had made it easier for me to relax and I was still passing
my genetics course with A's.
Serena and Linds are a lot a like. They can both read me like an open book.
"Chiba? Darien Chiba?" My professor called my name.
I looked up, "Yes sir?"
"You're need in Pluto 20." He handed me a pass. I got up and left. The kid
who sits next to me, I think his name's Endo, said he'd take notes for me.
Pluto 20? Isn't that the fashion design room? SERENA! I ran to the building
and up a flight if stairs to room 20. Serena was waiting out side the room
with Luna. "Are you ok?" I asked slightly out of breath. "What happened?"
"I'm fine. Linds blacked out." Serena said.
"They just took her to the medical area." Luna said. "I'm sensing something
about that girl, but I'm not sure what."
"Could she be the princess?" Serena asked.
"I don't think so." I said. "She told me she's been having weird visions
lately. She said people are talking to her but she can't make out what
they're saying."
"We'd better go check on her." Luna said. We all headed to the medical
area. Linds was just coming around when we got there.
"Linds you ok? You scared me back there." Serena said.
"What happened?" I asked.
"I'm fine now, I think. It was another one of those visions. This time I
saw another woman with the first couple. Her hair was a silvery white, but
she looked fairly young, and it was done up like yours Serena. Her eyes were
deep blue. Even deeper than yours Dar. She was holding some kind of wand
that had a moon on top and some silver gem. There was also a moon on her
forehead. She looked so sad. I wish I knew what was going on." Luna jumped
into Lindsey's lap and looked at her. "Gees Serena! You're cat looks like
she's trying to read my mind."
"Linds you think you can manage for a while?" I asked.
"Yeah I'll be fine."
"Ok, Serena stay with her. I've gotta get back to class."
"Alright. I'll come and get you if anything happens." I nodded and headed
back to class.
An hour and a half later I was sitting in my voice class with Serena and
Linds. Linds had her sketch pad out and was drawing some lady.
"What are you doing?" I asked her, she was STILL in costume.
"Sketching those people so you can what I'm talking about." she drew a long
flowing skirt on the woman.Our teacher, Mr. V, walked over to us.
"Hello Darien. Lindsey. Who's your friend?"
"This is Serena Tsukino. Serena this is Mr. V." I introduced.
"Hi." Serena said ans shook his hand.
"Pleased to meet you miss. I hope these two told you about our rules for
visitors."
"Um.... no. They didn't." Serena looked at me. "What do I have to do?"
"Well, we're working on vocal cords." Mr. V said.
"Singing." I whispered to her. "Oh, ok. I can do that."
"Excellent!! We'll get started right now." V turned to the class. "Quiet
everyone! We have a guest and in keeping our tradition she shall go first
today. Serena please stand up." She did as asked. "Now what song would you
like to sing?"
"I'm not sure where I heard it but I really like this song. It's called "My
Only Love." "Begin whenever you're ready."
Serena corrected her posture and took a deep breath.Deep in my soul
A love so strongIt takes controlNow we both knowThe secrets bared
The feelings showDriven far apartI'll make a wishOn a shooting star
There will come a daySomewhere far awayIn your arms I'll stayMy only love
Even though you're goneLove will sill live onThe feeling is so strong
My only loveThere will come a daySomewhere far awayIn your arms I'll stay
My only loveYou've reached the deepest partOf the secret in my heart
I've known it from the startMy only loveThere will come a daySomewhere far away
In your arms I'll stayMy only loveMy only love
We all clapped when Serena ended.
"Beautiful Miss Tsukino!!!! Tsukino??? Where have I heard that name? The
papers maybe?" Mr. V pondered.
"My family was....... killed last week. That's probably where you saw it."
Serena said quietly.
"You mean you're the 14 year old daughter who was left??" Serena nodded.
"I'm sorry. Not to be rude, but why aren't you in school???"
"I'm going back tomorrow. I came today to help Linds with her play and she
invited me to follow her around."
"Oh I see. I'm very sorry you had to go though what you did." Serena nodded
again, but I could see tears forming. She came over to me and Linds and sat
back down. The tears had already started to fall again. I could see hat Mr.
V was kicking himself for bringing it up. Serena rested her head on my
shoulder and cried quietly. I could tell Linds didn't know what to do so she
went back to sketching. "Lindsey you're up." Mr. V said. "Your song?"
"Part of your world from the little mermaid"Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girlThe girl who has ev'rything?Look at this trove
Treasures untoldHow many wonders can one cavern hold?

I've got gadgets and gizmos aplentyI've got whozits and whatzits galore
(You want thingamabobs?I got twenty)But who cares?No big dealI want more
I wanna be where the people areI wanna seeWanna see 'em dancin'

Flippin' your fins you don't get too farLegs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a(What's that word again?) streetUp where they walk
Up where they runUp where they stay all day in the sunWanderin' free

Outta these waters?What would I payTo spend a dayWarm on the sand?Betcha on land
They understandBet they don't reprimand their daughtersBright young women
Sick o' swimmin'Ready to standAnd ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questionsAnd get some answersWhat's a fire and why does it
(What's the word?) burn?When's it my turn?Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore above?Out of the seaWish I could bePart of that world
"Very good Lindsey. You didn't struggle at all on the high notes.
Darien...." Serena had stopped crying and was calmed down again.
"Wanna sing one with me?" I asked her quietly. "Like what?"
"Come one." I pulled her up with me and popped a cd in the player. "WE're
gonna sing "If I never knew you." Serena smiled.Darien If I never knew you
If I never felt this love I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be And if I never held you
I would never have a clue How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies I can see the truth so clear In your eyes
So dry your eyes And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through Lost forever
If I never knew youSerena If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through Lost forever
If I never knew youDarien I thought our love would be so beautifulSerena
Somehow we made the whole world brightBoth
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us where these whispers in the night
But still my heart is singing We were rightSerena
If I never knew you If I never knew this love
I would have no inkling of How precious life can beDarien
There's no moment I regret Since the moment that we met
If our time has gone too fast I've lived at last...Both
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world brightSerena
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into lightBoth And still my heart is singing
We were rightDarien We were right And If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life throughSerena Empty as the skyBoth
Never knowing why Lost forever If I never knew you
"Wonderful you two."
We sat back down and Serena laid her head on my shoulder. I put my arm
around her and pulled her closer to me, reassuringly. Mr. V was yelling at
the next singing for being flat on every other note. Poor Meg. It's not her
fault she's tone death.

Part 15 "Here." Linds handed me her sketch book.
The first one was of a woman in royal robes of some sort with a small
tiara. She had blondish-brown hair and pale blue-gray eyes, a lot like
Linds's. There was a very sad and familiar look in them. The second was of a
man, also in royal robes of the same colors, who had jet black hair and blue
eyes, like mine. He also had a short beard and a crown on his head. He
seamed familiar too. The final one was of a woman with silvery-white hair,
that was up like Serena's. Her eyes were the same shade as Serena's too. She
wore a strapless white dress that clung to her body. Also there was a moon
on her forehead and she held, what looked like, the crescent moon wand, but
it as topped with a silver gem.
Luna jumped up on my shoulder and whispered, "That looks just like Queen
Serenity. She ruled over the moon kingdom during the Silver Millennium. The
others look like Queen Tranquillity and King Endymion of Earth.
Serena looked at the picture of Serenity and smiled. I saw a small tear
escape. It was if she had knew the woman well.
A few hours later Serena and I were on our way to the temple for he
meeting. I hade borrowed Linds's book to show the others the drawings. I
wish things weren't so mysterious as they seem to be. "Darien?" "Yes."
"Do you think Venus and Neptune will come?"
"How knows? Maybe they will." "I hope so. I want to meet them."
Luna had gone on a head of us, a while ago, so e had some time to our selves.
"Darien did you sense a strange power when we were with Linds?"
"No note really, but that could be because I've known her since eighth
grade. Come to think of it though, she does sort of have a presence to her.
Like what you and the scouts have sort of. An energy field or something."
"Are you sure she's not the Princess???"
"Yes, she's not it. Linds is just Linds." I looked at Serena. THE MOON WAS
BACK!!!!!! "Serena it's back on your head again!" I whispered.
"Um.... what should I do???" She touched the moon.
"I...... don't know."
The temple steps came into view and e bolted for them. No one saw us. Thank god.
Rei, Ami, and Lita were already in the fire room when we burst in. They all
gasped when they saw Serena's forehead.
