Sunlight filtered through the window and onto the sleeping figure. Her chest rose slowly and steadily as she slept, dreaming of darien, cakes and assorted other things.Her two blonde odangos were messy and whisp of hair were strewn across her pillow as Serena Tsukino slept, her sleeping figure gentle and sweet against the early morning sunshine. Than her eyes flew open and the dreams she's had faded away. "ARgghhhhhh!!!!!! I'm going to be late again!!! LUna!!! Why didn't yu wake me?" Serena screamed, kicking back her cover as she squinted at the clock to make sure she was right. "ARgghhh!! I am right!" Serena screamed as she kicked the sorry figure of luna to the back of the room. "Meoww!!!" Luna protested. Than she straightened herself up and watched as SERena busied herself with her hair and clothes. LUna, watching shook her head and smiled to her self. What a child! She's been through death,the toughest wars and her own emotional battles and she's still acting as happy as usual. And soon. Luna thought. Very soon, she'll be Queen of Crystal Tokyo. To protect Tokyo and all it's inhabitants. Will she be ready? LUna asked herself. FOr the final battle? Looking at Serena again, LUna smiled as even SErena's smallest gestures bought a wonderful tingling into her heart. Serena was growing up to become more and more like her former mother Queen Serenity. True, Queen serenity was one fo the greatest rulers in teh history of the Silver Milliieum. But it would be Princess SErenity-Serena's heart which, will touch thousands. SHe knew though, that all SErena wanted to be was a normal Teenager, to grow up, have a boyfriend,get married and have kids. Yet her future had been planned out for her from the very beginning. One thousand years ago. Or so it seemed, her fate had been destined. She was to be teh silver Millieum's Princess Serentity, Tokyo's lengendary SailorMoon and future Crystal Tokyo's Neo-Queen SErenity. Her thoughts were interuppted as SErena bent down to give her peck on the cheeks and race to gather the last of her stuff before she go to school. "Sorry luna." SErena grinned and leapt down the stairs to take her lunch from her mum and start her usual race to school. ************************************************************************ "opps sorr-Darien?" Serena squeaked as she bumped into yet another padestrian.She smiled up at her prince and all thoughts of school and detention suddenly left her head. Drawing her close, they embraced and moved in closer for a kiss. Finally they pulled away. Darien smiled back at her "hi meatball head." he said. "Late for school again?" he grinned. SErena smiled sheepyishly. "Yeah. So where are you going now?" Darien looked at her "IN case you forgot miss Tsukino, i have university to attend to too." he said in a teasing tone. "oh yeah, opps. Of course." Than her voice became suddenly serious as another htought entered her head. A thought that had been bothering her from the night before. "You DArien, i think everything is going too smoothly." Darien's forehead wrinkled "What do you mean? We're all save, aren't we. I mean we haven't had any youmas attack us since the last attack from the doom phantom." Serena nodded. "I know, but it's still not right. I mean, when have you ever seen a day without a youma attack? I'm serious Darien. We haven't had an attack for 5 months. SOmething is wrong." her voice choked on her next words. "What-what if, the end is coming? Like, what if this is like we're in the eye of the storm. The peace before the beginning of the end really arrives?" Darien looked admiringly down at SErena. She's changed. He realized, she may still be that dizzy kluz everyone sees her as. but she's grown up. SHe's learnt ot take on responbility.To analyse enemies and lead the sailorscout. God he loved her. Her sweetness, gentleness, and kindness and her beauty. They were all part of the heart that made Serena Tsukino. SErena was a girl full of love, and in the same way. She has to be fulfilled with that. what a beautiful freespirit she was. God had been kind to him, to grant him someone as kind and loving as SErena. Every since Rini had left for Crystal Tokyo after the fight with the doom phantom Serena had became somewhat different. Rini was their future child afterall and it was only natural for SErena to miss her. They all did. But SErena was the one who missed her most. The little spore she'd been in Serena's heart was no more. She was just Rini. Her future daughter. Finally Darien nodded in agreement. "Yes. You're right. Do you want to call a scouts meeting at Cherry Hill temple today after school?" SErena nodded slowly. "That'll be great!" In the distance, the bells of Cross road high? (something like that) began to chime. "Yikes!!! I've got to go! Bye DArien!" she kissed him gently on the lips before leaving. "Love you." she whispered into his ears before she raced off again. Darien watched as she left, and wondered for the thousandth time if god had placed him in teh wrong dream. I don't deserve someone as good as SErena. Darien realized. And yet, destiny had been kind. Let's hope destiny was forever. ************************************************************************** When Serena finally skidded into her classroom, it was packed already as every student took of their bags and settled into their seats with their books and pencil cases and everything out for the lesson ahead. Moving towards her usual seat, she realized that her spot had been already taken. A handsome boy with blonde hair, the exact same shade as SErena's now sat there. Serena looked at Molly who shrugged sheepishly. Shrugging herself, Serena went over to the boy and tapped him lightly on the shoulder. He looked up at her in surprise and for the first Serena noticed how blue his eyes were. They were sad though and as intense as a mid winter storm. "Hi!" Serena grinned cheerfully, forgetting totally about her lateness. "Are you new here? I've never seen you before." The boy studied her with deep intensity in his deep blue eyes. He didn't smile back but nodded slowly. "Yeah." he grunted. "Nice to meet you." Serena smiled and held out her hands. The boy paused, not knowing what exactly to do. This was a warmth he'd never known. Noticing this, SErena took his hands in hers and shook it. "i'm SErena Tsukino. And you are?" But before the new boy could answer, a voice called across teh room. "SERENA TSUKINO!!! SIT DOWN RIGHT NOW BEFORE I GIVE YOU AN AFTER SCHOOL DETENTION!" Ms Haruka yelled across teh room. "Opps." Serena shrugged. "She definately doesn't have a date tonight." she whispered. The boy's upper lips twitched,as he watched this amusing girl infront of him move towards a seat behind him. "Thank you, serena." Ms Haruka said, she folded her hands across her lap and forced a smile. "Now class-I have a new student ot introduce to you today. His name is Jack Nagano. A student who just recently moved to Tokyo from Australia. Jack, would you like to come out here and tell teh class a bit about yourself?" Jack didn't want to, but he knew he had to. Tokyo was not like Australia, he couldn't go about messing around. That was why he was in Tokyo afterall. So the tough school system in Tokyo could calm him down a bit, or so his guardians hoped anyway. Slowly Jack got up and headed for the front of the classroom. Turning around, when he got there he noticed the entire class's eyes on him. but he wasn't nervous. "Hi. My name's Jack Nagano. I'm from Australia. I moved here from Australia because of some family problem and now i'm here to stay." He said all this in one breathe and waited for the class reaction. "Wel-well" Ms Haruka said finally when no one in the class uttered a single sound. "That was quite an err-interesting introduction. You may go back to your seat now Jack." she motioned for Jack to move back to his seat. And thus the lesson began. **************************************************************************** The Dismissal bell finally rung and another day at school ended. Serena had informed Amy, Lita, MIna about the meeting at Cherry Hill Temple at Lunchtime. And she was sure Raye wasn't going to be doing anything that afternoon, so a surprised meeting for her wouldn't hurt. She was just about to head towards Cherry hill temple when a figure from teh corner of her eyes made her stop in her tracks. It was Jack. He was walking slowly towards the direction of Cherry hill temple too. Oh he seems so sad. Serena watched his back as he walked slowly down teh pathment. She wanted to make him happy, to see a smile touch his face, to take away that sadness, to lift of his body to be replaced by a happy person. He reminded her of Darien in a lot of ways, but unlike Darien, jack had shutted himself away from teh whole world. "Did you like your first day at Crossroad?" Serena asked suddenly. Jack spun around and saw the beautiful girl who had spoken to him earlier that day. THere was no doubt to that, her hair was like spun gold, her eyes unlike his own was full of love. Hoping that his instincts were right. THat he could trust this loving girl in front of him. Jack allowed himself a bit of air fromt eh shell in which he'd hid in the whole day. He nodded. "Yeah. Everyone's pretty friendly. Tokyo's very different from Australia." Serena smiled. "I'm sure it is." Silence filled the air as both Serena and Jack ran out of things to say. Serena looked up at the towering figure of Jack. He was tall. Serena realized. NOt as tall as DArien,but close enough. He was even taller than Lita. Finally, Serena broke the silence. "So, where's your home?" Jack shrugged. "Oh, it's around here." "What does your parent's do?" Serena asked, trying to breka the ice between her and Jack. Jack sighed. He hated to talk about his parents. "They died a while ago in a fire at my home in Australia,my guardians look after me now." Serena looked down at teh ground ashamed. "Oh." she said softly. "I'm sorry." He shrugged carelessly. "That's alright. Life now is pretty okay." Serena wasn't sure if she should ask, but she knew the curiosty of not knowing could potentially kill her. "Why did you suddenly moved to Tokyo? Wasn't Australia good?" she asked softly. Jack sighed, his past was far too confusing to talk about, but suddenly meeting this bubbly girl in front of him was suddenly making him reveal more of his past than he wanted to. "AFter my parents died. My peresonality changed totally. I mean, i use to be different from this. I got in lots of fights from the kids in school. THe school didn't want me anymore so i was expelled. and my guardians decided to take me to Tokyo so i could begin all over again." Serena nodded slowly, trying to understand. "i understand Jack. What was the "you" use to be like?" she asked. She knew she had crossed the border this time though, as the look in Jack's eyes hardened and he shoved her roughly, and Serena stumbled back towards the middle of the road. Just than a car skidded around the corner and straight towards SErena... *************************************************************************** Darien was just about to cross the road when he suddenly heard a familiar voice infront of him. Looking up he saw a guy with blonde hair push Serena roughly towards the middle of the road. a car sped around teh corners and straight towards Serena. Forgetting his own life, Darien dropped his books and rushed to SErena who had froze in her tracks, starring in horror as the car sped towards her. With one last inhuman leap, Darien lunged at SErena and he and SErena rolled out of the way just as the car was about to come upon them. "Watch where you're going kid!" the driver yelled before driving off again. Darien ignored this as he looked down at SErena. There was a bruise on her arm, blood was bleeding from a small cut on her forehead but apart from that she seemed fine. "Serena." he asked softly. "are you alright?" Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes but SErena refused to let them fall. She nodded. "yeah, sure. I've been through worse." Darien nodded, than anger filled his mind as he looked up at the guy who had pushed SErena. "You could have killed her!" Darien yelled as he helped Serena stand up. Jack moved closer to SErena. "I'm sorry, SErena. I didn't mean that." Darien pushed him away. "Get away from her!" "Darien!" Serena protested than turning to Jack she said. "I understand. I'm sorry i upsetted you." Jack nodded "Sorry." Than he turned away and headed towards whatever home he had hidden behind the horizens. Serena watched as he went, than looking back at Darien's worried expression she smiled. "Really, Darien. I'm alright." she said softly and kissed him on teh lips before heading towards Cherry hill temple again. "I still can't believe what that guy just did! He could have killed you!" Darien fumed, he wrapped his hands around SErena's waist as they continued their way towards Cherry Hill Temple. Serena held out her hands "I'm alright Darien. You know we've been through worse." Darien looked at his princess carefully. She was awfully pale but apart from teh other cuts and bruises on her, she seemed alright. All the same, he could not shake the image of the car speeding towards Serena's tiny body. He could see it in his mind now, hurtling towards SErena and than BUMP as SErena's body slammed against teh car. He shuddered at the thought, and suddenly he realized how important Serena was to him. He would die without her. "Who was that guy?" Darien asked suddenly. Serena shrugged. "He's name's Jack. Comes from Australia, but he can speak very good Japanese." Serena said finally. To tell teh truth, Serena wasn't so sure herself. All along, Jack has been kind of like a mystery to her. Darien nodded, not completely satisfied with SErena's answer but for the time being it was enough. Stopping in the middle of the pathment, he suddenly had a sudden impulse to kiss her. Drawing her closer, they moved in for a kiss when- "YOUMA!!!" Screams filled the air. Both Serena and Darien spun around and froze in their tracks as they saw what was infront of them. It was here finally. The youma they've been waiting for for five months. It was powerful, both SErena and DArien could see that point as soon as they saw him attack effortlessly, releasing lashes of dark energy onto nearby people. "Help!!!" someone screamed. Darien grabbed Serena's arms and pulled her into a dark alleyway. "We have to transform" he said. Serena nodded, but an uneasy feeling suddenly filled her heart. MOON CRYSTAL POWER Darien took out a rose and transformed. "I am Sailormoon, And i'll right wrong and triumph over evil! How dare you hurt these innocent people!" "Cut your speeches, Sailormoon!" Tuxedo mask was saying as he jumped from a rooftop. "Okay, okay." Sailormoon muttered to herself as she faced the youma that now stood infront of her. It was a big one. Much bigger than she had comprehanded, but they've battled bigger ones, surely this one couldn't possibly be that strong. Suddenly, a blast hit SAilormoon square in the chest and she was thrown back hard against a wall. Huh? How come i didn't see that? Sailormoon was puzzled. Could the attacks- could it be invisible? "Sailormoon!" cried tuxedo mask. Making a rose in teh air, he threw it at the monster. But it did little harm. Groaning, Sailormoon picked herself up and prepared to fight again. MOON TIARA MAGIC! the tiara flew towards the monster who dodged it easily. "We can't do this by ourselves, we have to call the scouts!" Sailormoon said as she took out her communicator.
