Once In A Blue Moon
By: Callista Matthews
Rating: G

The wind is blowing the golden strands of a young girl who is looking out to
the fading sun and the rising moon.

*The room is empty, and the lights are dim*

One lone tear falls from the azure eyes, making it's way down her lovely
face. Her eyes show sadness and reminiscing. Unknown to the girl, a shadow was
following her every move. Even that tear did not escape his intense deep blue gaze.

*And my heart wonders, if I'll ever see you again*

The girl's form suddenly changes from the blue and white school girl outfit
to a long white and gold gown. Her hair falls from the "meatballs" she usually kept
them in. The princess of long ago has returned, but her prince was nowhere to be
found.

*My tears are hungry for an open door*

=FLASHBACK=
"My prince, I'll love you forever." Princess Serenity said to her love,
Endymion.
"Dark times are upon us princess. I will do my best. If I don't survive this,
please know that I'll love you forever. When the moon falls into the sun is when I'll
stop loving you. This is my promise and oath." Endymion gazed into his true love's
eyes, knowing they reflect the feelings in his own heart.
"Although we're great distances apart, our love will see us through. Will
you really keep your promise to love me forever?" Serenity looked up to the lake
behind Endymion.
"I promise I'll love you forever and a day." Endymion replied.
"Me too."

=END OF FLASHBACK=

More tears fell as the moon rose, looking over its princess for all eternity.
Flashbacks from the past two thousand years passed by her numb mind. Her heart,
trying to deaden the pain by retreating to her subconscious of memories. The man
with ebony hair was also experiencing the flashbacks. No matter how far apart they
were, those memories kept them going.

*When your arms held me, I never felt that way before*

=FLASHBACK=
"Darien, please listen to me! Beryl has poisoned your mind. Darien, she
may have you mind, but your heart belongs to me. You remember, don't you?" A
wounded Sailor Moon begged her lover on bended knee.
"You are the enemy!" Prince Endymion raised his sword, ready to slice
Sailor Moon in half.
"No I'm not. Look Darien, it's our locket. Don't destroy it. Remember,
it's our locket, the symbol of everything we shared. All those happy times on the
moon, please don't let her take that away from us, please Darien. It's me Darien.
Princess Serenity. I've come to set you free again. Just like I promised." Sailor
Moon made this final plea.
"I remember..." Prince Endymion lowered his weapon to stare at Sailor
Moon.
"All you have to do is touch it!" Sailor Moon presented the star locket.

=END OF FLASHBACK=

The girl's dress changed again. This time, her dress became a sailor outfit
with wings on the back. Eternal Sailor Moon has reached her highest power peak.
The man just stared in awe of the spectacle.

*And I'll be waiting, and I'll be watching under a blue moon*

The full moon, watching over its mistress, loomed over the night sky.
More memories assailed both the girl and the man that was hidden in the shadows.

=FLASHBACK=
"I don't think we should get to close." Darien distanced himself and
Serena by pushing her almost roughly from him.
"Oh I know I'm still pretty young..." Serena obviously did not get the
message, or rather, doesn't want to get the message.
"That's not what I meant. We're through!" Darien shouted at Serena.
Serena just stood there too traumatized to even shed a tear. Her tower of
strength, her light in the dark, the prince of her dreams, is saying he didn't love her
anymore.
"But...but you...but you couldn't have forgotten our past as the prince and
princess who is destined to be together, did you?" Serena's voice, barely
above audible.
"Why should my whole life be directed by what's happened in the past?
Maybe I had a crush on you back then, but I don't anymore, alright? Read my lips,
'I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE!'" Darien's sarcasm and cold tone was too much
for Serena to handle.
"If...if...if that's how you feel..." Serena's voice almost breaking from the
pain tearing her heart in two.
"Of course that's how I feel. Now get out of here! I don't want to see you
anymore. I'll help with Reenie, still, but that's not because I still care." Darien's cold
eyes drilling into her.
"Alright then. Since that's how you feel, goodbye Darien. Have...a good
life..." Serena proceeded to walk away, the tears still not coming. The pain and agony
was still numbing her senses.
Darien's cold eyes were replaced by sadness. 'I'm sorry...'

=END OF FLASHBACK=

Hot drops of tears continued to fall, the rose in her clenched hand
crumbled and fell to the stone trail. The girl looked down at the locket she'd been
holding in her hand. One last glance and she threw it in the lake. The man had no
choice but to watch in devastation.

*A taste of heaven only happens, once in a blue moon*

=FLASHBACK=
Serena went to a ball with her guardians for Valentine's Day. As they
entered the dance hall, Serena caught sight of a tall, ebony haired man in a tuxedo.
Serena was just about to rush over him to talk when Raye came up from Serena's
side to whisper, "Don't go any closer, Serena."
"Why can't I? I have to talk to him." Serena looked at Raye as though
she was crazy.
"Serena...he's here with someone. Another girl." Raye told her
regrettably.
"Wha...?" Serena whirled around just in time to see Darien dancing and
kissing a tall brunette who was obviously enamored by Darien. Serena was frozen in
shock. She wanted to run away, run away from that scene that tore her heart ever
more.
"I guess it really is over..." Serena whispered. She turned around and ran
outside with her Scouts following her. Not before each of them glared at Darien and
his date. Unfortunately for Darien, he turned around just in time to catch the glares
and silent messages each Scout sent him. He was in BIG trouble...

=END OF FLASHBACK=

*Do you remember, when the wind blew free? We fit together so naturally*

The lake shimmered from the moonbeams that bounced off the surface.
The wind howled, the leaves shook, silence stretched on and on. Serena stopped
looking at the moon and proceeded to walk away. Darien still watched her, knowing
she thought he no longer loved her, no longer cared.
"Forever and a day, princess."

*And I'll be waiting, and I'll be watching. Under a blue moon. Taste of heaven, only
happens, once in a blue moon...*
