Chapter 7

        "Why are they twelve? I thought they're turning fifteen?" Raye asked, looking over the boys. The short little legs they once had were long and bony with big feet. Their short hair was longer, like the length they had when they were older.

        "I guess the age change is random. Who knows how old they'll be next time." Ami said with a shrug.

        "Looks like we need to go shopping some more!" Mina said, delighted that they get to go to the mall again.

        "We'll bring them with us this time." Serena said.

        "Yeah, they're old enough to pick their own clothes now." Lita said. "In the meantime, I'm hungry." She said rubbing her stomach.

        "Me too! Wow Lita it was like you were reading my mind!" Serena exclaimed. The girls rolled their eyes.

        "You have a bottomless stomach so it's no surprise." Raye said dryly. Serena shot her a glare and stretched with a yawn. They all went into the kitchen where Serena went about making coffee. After a quick breakfast that had the rest of the household waking up, she and the girls piled in the Mina's car. The boys managed to shimmy into some shorts and shirts. Jadeite and Kunzite grumbled about the way the jeans were riding up. They went with Darien. They arrived at the small mall in no time while the stores were just opening. The boys all looked wide-eyed at their surroundings.

        "Wha t is this place?" Zoicite asked as they wandered through the main walkways peering into the shops and frowning at the lifeless mannequins.

        "This is the holy grail for us." Mina said dreamily. The girls all nodded in agreement taking on that same dreamy look. Darien just rolled his eyes.

        "You can buy a whole bunch of things here!" Lita exclaimed walking into a store.

        "Like a whole bunch of shoes!" Serena exclaimed running across to the other store where they sold shoes.

        "And books!" Ami cried and disappeared into a bookstore.

        "Not to mention music!" Raye said and hurried to another store.

        "But most importantly, clothes." Darien told them and ushered the boys into a different store. It was strange for them to see a store like this where the clothes were already made. But the more exposed to it, the more they understood. They all rummaged through the different racks of shirts, examining them critically. After about an hour or so, the girls all came to meet them with armfuls of bags. Darien and the boys were detained by some flirting voluptuous women. Mina and Lita shared a look. Secretly, they pulled Serena and the others aside.

        "Do you have the Luna pen with you?" Mina asked her. Serena frowned and dug into her bag and held it out in her hand.

        "Yeah. Why?" She asked. Lita grinned evilly and pointed to Darien trying to brush away the advances. They saw Serena's eyes darken a little.

        "We want to play a game with him." Lita said. Serena eyed them.

        "What kind of game?"

        "Just make us into older women and you'll see. You have to follow along." Mina said and Serena held out the pen. Soon, they were their older selves and they walked into the store.

        "Oh look honey! I've got so much things for the boys!" Lita exclaimed running with Mina from the side. Darien's eyes bulged out when they both kissed him on the cheek. The sales people stilled and looked at all of them. Five girls, one guy and four boys who were suspiciously clinging to the girls' legs like a life line.

        "Isn't your daddy just the greatest, taking all his girlfriends and kids out for a shopping spree?" Mina gushed, pinching Kunzite's cheek in a motherly manner.

        "What are you doing?" Darien hissed at them with his cheeks burning.

        "Darling, you simply must get us these matching scarves!" Raye joined in.

        "Where is Serena? You mustn't leave the expectant mother out on this!" Ami said. Serena popped out behind a clothes rack with a pillow stuffed under her shirt. She waddled to them.

        "Darling Darien, when you said we would go shopping today, I didn't expect to be on my feet all day!" She patted her stomach while using the other hand to brace her back.

        "Is this true? Are all these women your girlfriends?" One of the girls asked with astonishment clearly written on her face.

        "No!" He protested. Why the hell are they doing this?

        The girls all stopped and their lower lips wobbled and tears gathered in their eyes.

        "Beastly Darien! You promised we would let our relationship out of the closet!" Mina said and Raye handed her a scarf to wipe her tears.

        "How could you do this to us?" Ami wailed and Raye handed her another scarf.

        "You can't deny that night when we all got drunk and had that huge orgy". Lita sniffed, and patted Nephrite on the shoulder.

        "We even have it video taped!" Serena said to the huge group of people in the store who stopped in to see what was going on. The younger men lifted an interested brow at her comment. "We did the DNA test thing and it proved that they were all yours! You said that you would support all of us!"

        "Don't you love us anymore? Aren't we still your queens?" Raye asked. Darien was left staring at them. His lips moved to protest, but all he did was stutter. Murmurs passed through the crowd.

        "Young man, a reckless night is no excuse. These boys are your responsibility." An elder man wagged a finger at him.

        "Yeah." The girls all said in unison.

        "Can I see the tape?" A teenage boy asked only to be elbowed in the side by his girlfriend.

        "Yeah man, tell us your secret!" Another called out. Darien flushed, feeling totally embarrassed. He grabbed what ever the boys were holding in their arms and stomped to the register. They rang up the prices and he paid it without even looking. After all the clothes were in bags, he stomped out of the store with the girls running behind him to catch up.

        "That was so good!" Mina said between giggles.

        "Yeah, you should have seen your face!" Raye said and slapped Darien hard on the back.

        "What was that?" He asked them as soon as they were in private.

        "We saved you!" Lita protested, and then grinned.

        "Saved? You embarrassed me!" He growled. The girls all laughed.

        "Yeah, that too!" Serena said with a smirk. Darien narrowed his eyes at her. He looked at her, really looked at her. Her hair was so blonde it was almost silver. Her youthful face was matured and she looked stunning. He forced himself to look away. What had happened between them just the other day was still fresh in his mind. He had stayed awake most of the night wondering what to do. But all he thought was that if it had to happen again, he would do it without hesitation. And that bothered him. He wanted to talk to her so bad, but he was too scared to bring up the subject. What if she was still appalled about yesterday and he told her he wanted to do it again? What would she say? How would he take it? But then again, the way she was looking at him had him speculating whether his train of thought was valid or not. She had some secret knowledge in her. Like she was thinking the same thing. Was it wishful thinking or not?

        "You looked like you needed help." Ami's soft voice snapped him out of his thoughts and he grimaced, remembering what they were discussing.

        "I did, but not that kind of help." He said as they left the mall.

        Serena was sitting quietly at the table looking over some papers when the girls all came in.

        "We have a problem." Mina began. Serena looked up from her papers and frowned at them

        "What kind of problem?" She asked. The girls exchanged looks.

        "We have to show it to you for you to understand." Ami explained. Serena sighed and got up from her chair.

        "Okay." They led her to the back room. She paused a little. Why did they want her to go in there? She wanted to avoid that room forever!

        "Oh!" She cried when a hard shove pushed her forward. She stumbled into the room and whipped around just as they slammed the door in her face. There was a loud snapping sound. She pressed a hand to the door and then yanked it away when it scorched her.

        "Raye! What are you doing?" She called out, cradling her wounded hand.

        "It's for your own good!" She replied back.

        "Why?" She turned around and stopped when she saw Darien sitting on the bed. She blanched and took a little step away.

        "What are you doing in here?" She asked in a shaky voice. He held up his hands and saw the burn marks on them too.

        "They got me too." He said dryly. Serena looked away from him, feeling the tension building in the room. What was she suppose to do? Discuss it?

        "What is there to discuss?" He shot at her and stood up. Serena glared at him and snapped when his face was blank.

        She stalked angrily towards him. "You cold unfeeling bastard from hell! WHAT IS THERE TO DISCUSS?" She screamed at him. "You think that this could all just go away?" She asked poking him sharply in the chest. "That this is nothing?" She hollered. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it hard.

        "It has to go away! It could never happen again!" He yelled back and pushed passed her. "It should never have happened in the first place!"

        "You think I don't know that?" She shot back at him. "But we can't act like it didn't happen either." She said with narrowed eyes.

        "What's the big deal anyway?" He asked throwing up his hands. He silently cursed himself for asking such a stupid question. Serena's faced flamed with outrage, and Darien wondered what she would do.

        "WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?" She screamed. "It was my first time you jerk! How can't it be a big deal? I just lost my virginity!"

        "It was my first time too!" He hollered back. Serena looked blankly at him, forgetting what she was going to say. Bit by bit, his words sunk into her mind and she closed her mouth. It was his first time too? But how can that be?

        "What do you mean?" He snapped. "You think I'm some kind of male whore or something? That I sleep with just anyone to calm my physical urges?" He demanded.

        Serena glared at him. "No you jerk. It was just that....." She trailed off and turned away from him. This was embarrassing, how could she explain?

        "What?" He asked with an irritated and impatient voice. She turned back to him.

        "Quit reading my thoughts. Didn't we discuss this?" She shot back and folded her arms. He looked a bit ashamed.

        "Well, you're being all secretive. What's the problem?"

        "I said there was no problem. Why do you have to jump to conclusions all the time?"

        "If it's something about me, then of course I would want to know about it."

        "You were good!" She yelled. His mouth stayed open and Serena growled and looked away.

        Great, way to go Serena. He's probably going to get an even bigger head then he has now and......."

        "Stop. " He commanded.

        "What did we just discuss earlier?" She muttered. There was an awkward silence, and Serena searched his mind, but he kept it blank from her. How does he do that? It's not fair that he could read her mind and he could keep what he was thinking from her.

        "I was good?" He finally echoed. Serena gave him another glower.

        "Well, you were the only one I ever slept with so I can't compare you to anyone. Who knows, maybe you're really bad compared to others or............."

        " I got it." He muttered. They sat in another bout of awkward silence.

        "Now what?" She asked him. He gave a shrug.

        "I don't know."

        Okay. The scouts had locked them in this room to sort out what they were feeling. How long will they keep them in there? She had a sinking suspicion that they were trying to get them together. Rolling her eyes, she shook her head.

        "When hell freezes over." She muttered. Darien gave her a curious look.

~ ~ ~ ~

        The girls all sat impatiently in the front room.

        "Things got pretty quiet back there." Mina said suspiciously, casting a glance at the back door.

        "I wonder what they're doing." Raye said, ringing her hands to keep herself from barging in there.

        "Why did you lock them in there in the first place?" Kunzite asked them in his new high, cracking voice. The girls all covered their mouths to keep from giggling. He and the boys discovered the game Monopoly and were currently arguing over how much Zoicite was going to buy Park Place from Jadeite.

        "You're broke. Come on, you need the money." Zoicite said, waving his money in front of him.

        "You should learn not to make impulse purchases." Nephrite said, rolling the dice and moving his dog piece.

        "Impulses are good. You don't want to be bored with things that are planned out." Jadeite replied nonchalantly.

        "How did you live to be twenty one?" Raye asked. Jadeite gave her a grin.

        "By living on impulses." He purred to her and gave her a wink. Raye was a bit taken back. Was a little twelve year old trying to pick up on her?

        *Yeah, this morning after we came back from shopping, Nephrite patted my butt.* Lita said. The girls all looked open mouthed at her.

        *He did?* Mina asked.

        *Zoicite was talking about aphrodisiacs too. He said he knew a lot about different kinds he could make.* Ami murmured.

        The girls all eyed the boys, innocently playing the game.

        *Maybe we should ask Luna and Artemis about them. They've been pretty sketchy when it comes to them. All they tell us is that they're Prince Endymion's guards. But I get the feeling that they are holding back a lot of explanations.* Lita said. The girls all nodded in agreement and went to search for the elusive kitties.

~ ~ ~ ~

        How long have they been in here? It seemed like forever Serena thought miserably. She paced in front of the huge window and stilled. Inch by inch, the moonlight began creeping up the house. She wanted desperately to pull away, but it was like she was trapped.

        "Darien." She let out a choked cry. He was at her side immediately. "It won't let go." She whimpered. His hand wrapped around her arm and he meant to pull her away, but as soon as they touched, it was like fire exploded in his chest. The feeling was so intense he was left staggered.

        "What are they doing to us?" He whispered with hungry eyes roaming over her face and locking with her own. She shook her head, speechless. Their hands lifted and a part of her detached itself from her mind. It was happening again, she was going to black out like all the other times she was in the moonlight. The girls had told her about the bouts they had when the souls of the lost royals would take over, but she never really felt it until now. She tried to hold on, but an unknown power overwhelmed her. Princess Serenity had complete control over her body, and Serena was left sitting in the passenger seat. This was different. She thought and watched through her eyes as Darien smiled charmingly. They leaned in and gave each other a small kiss. She felt his lips on her, she felt his tongue slid in and tease her.

        *Darien? Are you there?* She whispered.

        *Yeah, I'm here.* Was his low reply.

        *Is there anything we can do?* There was silence, and finally he spoke.

        *No.*
< br>         **Of course not. We're much more powerful than you** A familiar, yet strange voice invaded their conversation.

        * Who are you? * Serena demanded. She felt herself laugh.

        "Why Serena, surely you know your own voice." She said. The princess moved away from Endymion and went to a mirror. She gazed at herself. "You know. Deep down who you really are." Serena was silent. Yes, what the princess was saying was true. Somehow, in a completely strange way, she knew what she was talking about.

        *What are you doing here?* She asked softly.

        "Don't you remember?" She asked. Serena shook her head when an ancient memory nagged at her. "Try." The princess urged.

        *The spell.* Darien breathed. Those simple two words swamped her with dizziness. It was there, coming to life, the reason for ................

~*FLASHBACK*~

    &n bsp;   They were found out. All their secret rendezvous, all their late night obsessions came into the light. Queen Serenity found them kissing in the secret cave where they always met. They had met after a huge ball. He came dressed in a dark tuxedo and white mask. Her secret Prince came and swept her away. Now, Princess Serenity and Endymion stood side by side while the Queen looked at her daughter with disappointed, but pained eyes.

        "Serenity, no" The Queen whispered, and put a bracing hand against the cool surface of the cave. Serenity stayed quiet, but grabbed Endymion's hand. They held onto to each other for dear life.

        "Mother..... " She didn't know what to say. What could you say? Earth and the Moon were almost enemies, and the two heirs to the thrones were having a secret affair. She knew it wasn't the scouts or the Earth guards who had told her mother where they would have been. But who had? They had taken painstakingly cautious care in keeping their affair a secret. The Queen regained her demure manner and stood tall. She looked at the two critically.

        "All this time? Behind my back? You have both betrayed your homelands with this." She said coldly. Serenity flinched. She never heard her mother speak to her like that before. She was so cold.

        "We could not betray our hearts." Serenity said softly. Endymion pulled her close in warm protective arms.

        "This cannot go on. You must never see each other again." The Queen said and clapped her hands. Four Elite palace guards entered with swards drawn. "Take Endymion away. He must go back to Earth. And as for you my daughter, you will be married first thing tomorrow morning." Serenity paled and put a hand over her crystal. The crystal always seemed to react to her emotions, and right now, it was growing warm.

        "I cannot marry twice." She replied coolly. The Queen put a halting hand up to the guards.

        "What did you say?" She asked in almost a whisper.

        "I said I cannot marry twice mother." She said in a hush. That's why she and Endymion had come here in the first place. They were trying to find a way to break the news to their parents.

        "You are married?" The Queen asked in an unbelieving tone. Serenity nodded slowly.

        "Last night." She said quietly. Serenity watched as her mother turned even paler. She saw her hands shaking.

        "This cannot be. The Queen murmured. "No, it cannot be this way. You don't know how much danger we are in. Earth, the Moon, there can be no such match. Don't you understand Serenity?" She had never heard so much panic in her mother's voice before. The Queen was always calm and serene.

        "No I don't. What is so wrong with this mother? We love each other!" She protested.

        "No, I have to protect you! You don't know what she is capable of. You cannot be together! The alliance forbids it! I forbid it!" She cried out with wild eyes. Serenity didn't know what to think. Her mother was talking nonsense. Soon, the room in the cave began to hum. There was a sparkling white light surrounding the Queen and Serenity gasped. She knew that power. Surly her mother wouldn't use the crystal on her! But she did, she watched horrified when the white magic shot straight at Endymion.

        "No!" She screamed. Her own crystal was hot now and she felt the power course through her. Her mother's magic was countered with a powerful shield that erected over her and Endymion. They clutched each other tightly. When the room quieted down, Serenity opened her tightly closed eyes and looked over to her mother. The Queen looked dumbfounded, as did the guards.

        "Serenity, please." Her mother begged with tears in her eyes. She shook her head.

        "Mother, what's going on here? Why are you acting like this?" She cried out.

        "Daughter, you must believe me. I'm doing this for both of you." The queen said. Serenity felt her frustration mount and she took wrapped her arms around Endymion's waist.

        "I cannot believe you when you have nothing to justify your actions." She put a hand over her crystal and felt it heat in her palm. "By the power I call upon the ancient powers. Come, I call you," She felt the words on her lips, and the command intensify.

        "Sereni ty no!" The Queen cried out and took a step forward.

        "Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Pluto, Uranus, Saturn, and Moon power, come and grant me this wish, I call upon this bond to be formed by a kiss, never let my love and I part. In this I ask do not fail, for this is my everlasting and eternal spell." She finished her chant and grabbed Endymion's head and kissed him soundly on the lips. Silver light danced around them and she felt the power bind them together. Forever.

        "Serenity !" Were the Queen's final words before there was a loud bang. The ground shook and Serenity knew that this was the beginning, but of what, she had no idea.

~*END FLASHBACK*~

        Serena sucked in a harsh breath. She remembered. Everything was coming to her in a rush and, she feared she wouldn't be able to handle it. A thousand years brought back a million memories. When she realized that she had control over her body once more, she sank to the floor, holding her head and stomach.

        "Why?" She choked out.

        *You will see. Together we will see.* Her princess self whispered to her and then left.

        Darien looked across the room at Serena, looking blankly at the floor. "Serena? Are you okay?" He asked. She looked up at his voice.

        "Darien, I don't understand. Why is this happening to us?" She asked in a shaky voice. He kneeled down beside her and took her into his arms, remembering how right she felt in them.

        "I don't know." He looked down and their eyes locked. Maybe it was the closeness they were feeling right now, or maybe it was the reason that they got all their memories back, but for some reason, their faces were inching closer and closer until their lips touched. Blinding hunger devoured the two and they tore at one another. They didn't care about how they were going to feel in the morning, all they cared about was the present and the need to feel, even if it all seemed like a lie.
