Author's Notes: WHEW! This has been quite the writing adventure,
lately. (I'm booked solid... I think my mind thought I was more ambitious
than I really was.) Though I vow to get all of them out and finished!
Lets see, Up all Night, Rewind (which isn't too hard, since I've got help)
Three Wishes, and a few others. *sigh* too many stories. But I WILL get
them all out.
Thanks to Sailor Starlite, best editor on the web! Check out Rewind to see
our joined story. (It's fairly scary, actually) BIG thanks to her for
getting this in here for me! If it weren't for her, there wouldn't be any
story up here!
Thanks all who've written me with suggestions, comments, anything!
Mail is my life force, my power! Oh yeah, the person who's name I
couldn't find before (again, gomen ^_^;) was Rachelle who thought of the
movie!
As usual, standard disclaimers apply.... Now to write the next chapter!

Title: Serena and Darien... together?! No WAY!
By: Mako-Chan
Part: 9
E-mail: Breeze13@hotmail.com
Rated: PG-PG13
--------------------------------
"Greg, what are you doing here?" asked Amy, surprised.
"I had to see you, Ames," he said. Everyone else looked at her
with keen interest.
Amy, not to play the fool, said, "Let's go somewhere."
The others looked at her like ravenous hound that had just been deprived
of prime ribs.
She and Greg walked outside a ways, listening to the birds chirp but
not
really saying anything themselves. Amy broke the silence first, "What is
it Greg?"
"Well, I really need to talk to Darien, I've been having some, well,
rather important visions lately."
"What kind of visions?"
"Well, visions of Darien and Sailor Moon... I see him in the place
of Tuxedo Mask, kissing Serena..."
Amy's heart did a leap. Did that mean that Serena's feelings for Tuxedo
Mask were being taken over by Darien? It wasn't any really big secret that
she flat out adored Tux.
"What do you think it means?"
"I'm not sure. But the reason I wanted to talk to you, was to say
that you may like me now,"
Amy blushed crimson, "You're right, I do, Greg. I like you a lot..."
"You didn't let me finish," he sighed, "you and your friends are
going to
find new guys... or should I say old guys..." he barely whispered the
last part, but Amy heard it nonetheless.
"You're saying we're going to find old boyfriends?" the absurdity of
the statement made her think of Lita.
"Well, some lady entered the vision and told me not to say too much
to you, so that's all I'm saying about it. All I can say is, that I know
you'll be happy."
"Are you sure, Greg?"
"Positive. By the way, I tied you on a test the other day, with
out the powers... though I used them to find out what your score was on
that test, too." She laughed and they talked about school and studying from
then on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Let's get this one, Darien!" giggled Serena happily. Darien
looked at the title, then in disbelief at the section.
"This is the history section, Serena! Are you crazy, this is
actually educational!"
She frowned, "So? I like mythology, and I've never seen this
one before! Come on!" she smacked his side in mock anger, "let's get it!"
He laughed, "What ever you want, Meatball Head!"
She bounced down the aisles with him and stood in the short line
to rent the movie. She checked her watch. It was only five! That meant
that she still had six hours with Darien!
After they got the movie, they rode back on the motorcycle. Much to
Serena's delight, of course. She was screaming "WOO HOO!" the whole way back.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Leader Red to Leader Green, do you copy?" whispered Raye in the
window directly across the street to Darien's.
"I read you, Leader Red, what's the stat?"
"Well, they just got home and are eating a romantic meal
together in his dim lighting." Okay, so Raye was embelishing the details.
It was possible for McDonalds food to be romantic, wasn't it?
"Really? That's great. It seems like things are taking their own
course, and Amy still has the microphone planted on her, so it should be
okay if you left."
"Really?" she asked, "Whew! I was starting to get bored following
them around! Be RIGHT there!" She leapt from the balcony and onto another one.
Being Sailor Mars had its advantages, after all. She didn't really need to
worry about falling down if she jumped down from high places. After all, she's
done the same thing with PUMPS on before!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serena and Darien stopped for dinner (at McDonalds as you all
already know) and were sitting at his table eating it.
"This is fairly good for fast food. I mean, it may be all grease,
but still..." Serena's voice trailed off.
"Yeah, I guess so. All I know, is that it's pretty fast service and
it's edible."
Serena and Darien sat in awkward silence for a few minutes before
Serena's eyes lit up, "Hey! Wanna watch that movie?" she asked, "It looked
really good, I'm a sap for romance."
"Really now?" said Darien, a quirky grin on his face,"and here you
are, madame." He said, bowing and giving her a rose.
"WOW!" she said, her eyes nearly popping out of her head,
"how'd you do that?!"
He smiled, "We never reveal our secrets."
He offered her a hand and she accepted, pulling herself into his arms
and said, "Thanks, this is unbelievably sweet of you."
He laughed, "What's so unbelievable about it?"
She sighed, "Well, a few days ago, I would've said that I couldn't
stand you... well, at least not personality wise," she put her head down as
she blushed deeply, "I mean, that is to say, you must know that you have plus
looks..."
He nodded and hugged her, "Yeah, I was a model, I know that my looks
are pretty good. Though they're not everything."
"Well, I've always found you cute," she blushed again and said,
"any ways, I didn't think that you were anything but a jerk... well, a
CUTE jerk. Then you proved me wrong with one simple evening of fun."
He grinned, and tears began to well up in her eyes, "Hey, Meatball
Head, let's go watch that movie, all right?"
She nodded and they sat down. Serena pushed the video into the VCR
and pushed play. The usual previews came up, though not exactly normal
previews.
~ On the Tape ~
"The history channel is pleased to present the Mythology collection!
Don't forget to tune into your own history... Perhaps the civil war is of
interest to you." A woman appeared, "Oh, John! I can't believe the war was
won by the union!"
"We'll get em."
~~~~~~~~
"Boring!" Darien cried as he reached over Serena's stomach and found
the remote. He flipped through the previews and finally the movie came up.
~~~~~~~~
A young woman with white blonde hair came onto the set, her hair was
down in tresses of locks and a jewel was on her forehead (AN: hey, some
things have to be lost in the translation!) She spoke, "My name is Serenity,
and I am dead... maybe."
She glowed for a moment the the setting changed, the same woman was
on a balcony brushing her hair.
"Serenity!" yelled a voice.
"Endy!" she giggled happily. Then it showed the voice's owner.
A cool brunette guy with medium long hair in silver armor.
"Serenity, I know it's dangerous to come here, but I just had to see
you!"
"Let me go down there, okay."
"Okay, princess..."
~~ Flash ~~
Darien suddenly felt his mind itch in the back, not like the strange
insistant feelings he got when Sailor Moon was in trouble, but more like deja
vu.
"Good night, Princess..."
~another flash~
"ENDYMION!"
"SERENITY!"
"DON'T DO IT! I LOVE YOU!"
"NO, ENDY! I LOVE YOU! I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU!"
~end flash (AN: don't you love my little hard to follow thingys?)~
Darien shook his head and concentrated on the movie. Though the girl
in his mind looked a lot like the princess...
~in the movie~
"So, Endymion, want to go to the ball?"
"Of course, my sweet Serenity."
~FLASH~ (AN: getting annoying yet? For a twist, they're getting their
pictures taken! Tee hee, just kidding!)
Serena blinked and strained. Something was bugging her, but she
couldn't quite put her finger on it. Something about the movie...
"Good night, my prince..."
~another flash ~ (AN: I'm so unique! Look at the pattern, they are SO
different from each other! I mean, Serena's flashes are so much different
looking than Darien's, don't you think?)
"You can not go to the ball today?"
"If it were only that. Evil forces are threatening the entire
universe, this Beryl... she came out of no where, Serenity... I love you."
"I love you too... will things be okay? I mean, this is nothing mother
can't handle, right?"
"I'm not sure, listen, I'll have to talk with you later!"
"GET HIM! HE COULD BE A SPY!"
~ End Flash~ (AN: I know, not exactly the same dialogue as the real thing,
but I think it works, nonetheless.)
"Serena?" asked Darien. He shook her violently.
"Huh? Wha?" she asked him.
"You were out of it. I asked you something and you didn't answer,
what's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing, just a little case of Deja vu."
He smiled, "Yeah, me too. I guess it's just one of those days."
"Uh, Darien, I know that I wanted to rent this, but I think I'm
getting a headache from it's uh, dark lighting. Can we maybe turn this off?"
"Plea- I mean, I guess so."
She clicked it off in a matter of moments. "That was, well,
interesting."
"Yeah, Serena, don't worry, it was supposed to have a depressing
ending to it."
She nodded thoughtfully, "Yeah, I guess so." She looked at her
watch, "geez! What a movie! It's nine now!"
He looked at her, stunned, "We've been watching that thing for three
hours now, and it isn't even over yet?" (AN: hey, despite what people think
they can make tapes with over three hours of time on it. I have one with all
the SM eps on it (no commercials, of course) from the time when Rini and they
go through the time warp, to the time when they kill the doom phantom.
HOW many eps is that?)
"I guess not... I better call Amy and see if I should go over there,"
she said reluctantly.
"Okay, Serena," he said with the same tone of reluctance, "the
phone's in the kitchen on the wall."
She nodded and floated out to the kitchen. Darien sighed, 'that
movie was really freaky...'
"Anderson residence, this is Mrs. Anderson."
"Oh, hi, is Ames around?" asked Serena.
"No, she's still out."
"Oh, can you tell me where she is then?" she sighed.
"No, I'm sorry, I have no idea where she could be."
"Thanks, any ways, Mrs. Anderson." She hung up the phone. "Well,
I guess it's just you and me for a while, Darien, Amy isn't home yet, but I
have to be there by eleven. That's still two hours away..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lita had gotten ready before they left, and Andrew, Rita, Molly,
Melvin, and Sherry had decided upon a separate table. Amy was so generous,
paying for a night out at the Moon Kingdom Cafe'.
She had worn her new dress, along with the other girls. Raye and Amy
looked fabulous, and Lita was sure that she didn't look too bad herself. Her
hair was done differently tonight, worn down about her shoulders in a soft
wave. The other girls wore their hair normally.
"So, Ames, what can we order?"
She laughed, "Anything you want! This is a celebratory blow out for
our illusive match making skills!"
"Really, Amy, you don't have to go to all this trouble," started
Raye.
Amy cut her off, "Listen, it's the least I could do. This is all my
scheming, so you'll sit here and enjoy yourselves, okay?"
"I guess. Though it's a shame that the others are in a whole other
room."
"Yeah, well, they're fine. Besides, I worked it out so that we were
together, in case something happened that was scout business." Said Amy.
"Okay, I guess." Lita flipped through her menu, "hmm, I bet that I
could cook anything on this menu, probably better than the chef does here!"
"Wanna make a bet on that, my lady?" asked a tall man with waving
auburn hair.
Lita sat stunned, "he looks just like my,"
"Old boyfriend," chorused the others.
"No," she said insistantly, "this time I'm serious, he really DOES!"
"Enchanted," he said, bending down and kissing her gloved hand. A
familiarness about this struck Lita's mind and she had the urge to kiss him
then and there. She fought it.
"You were saying about being better at cooking, madame?" he asked
her.
"Uh, yes, I can cook anything good..." she was caught inside his
gaze.
"Well, I'm the cook here, and I think it may be fun to have a cook
off some time. Or perhaps you'd like a job here. I'm the head, after all."
"Yeah," she said, stunned.
Amy and Raye rolled their eyes. Lita was being goofy again. But something
about this guy made them all think that she was totally sprung over this guy.
It was quite an evening.
