Serena glanced at Duo, "How did you get the crescent moon anyways?"

Duo put a hand to his forehead rubbing at the mark, "Your mother gave it to me in a dream. I dreamed I was on the moon." As his words faded so did the moon on his forehead.

Serena's eyes grew solemn and tears appeared in her eyes. "What's wrong?" Duo asked confused.

"Home," Serena whispered crossing her arms over her chest and hugging herself. I miss it so much. Mother," She whimpered before breaking down and sobbing.

Duo put an arm around her and Serena clutched his shirt as she cried into his chest. Duo was silent as he held the crying girl. After a few moments Serena pulled away eyes to the ground, "I'm sorry," She whispered.

Duo gently put his index finger underneath her chin and lifted it to look into her eyes. "Don't be sorry, Serena. What happened to your parents was a terrible thing and that prince coming after you constantly doesn't help any. Just know that I'll be here for you from now on."

Serena looked at him and blinked slowly, "Promise, Duo?"

Duo smiled, "Of course," He assured her.

New life came to Serena's eyes and she raised herself up on her tiptoes. "Thank you, Duo," She whispered as she gently brought her lips to his.

Duo was shocked at the kiss but it was so gentle and quick that he didn't have time to respond. He watched as Serena's cheeks turned bright red. "Serena?" He finally managed to ask.

Serena turned away, "I'm sorry, Duo. I shouldn't have done that . You must think I'm horrible."

Duo shook his head, "Not at all, Serena." His brow furrowed as he saw her smile then begin to laugh. "What?"

Serena pointed at his forehead where the crescent moon was again glowing brightly, "You'll have to learn how to control that Duo."

Duo frowned slightly and wiped at his head, "How long will it stay?"

Serena looked at him confused, "Duo, those with the royal moon crest can not lose it. It will be with you for life."

Duo sighed and with a bit of concentration the moon vanished. "Now we should get ready for school."

"School?" Serena asked confused.

Duo nodded, "Yeah, school. We have to be there really soon too."

Serena scowled at Duo a pout pulling on her lips, "But, Duo! I don't want to go to school!"

Luna woke up from her nap and scowled upwards at the two, "Princess, you know more than any Earthling here except for their history. So why are you so against the idea?"

Serena sighed, "Because I hate school, Luna! I want to find the others. I want to save my Father and protect him. I don't want to waste my precious time in a school!"

Luna frowned, "That's enough, Serena. You will go to school and you'll pay attention."

Serena pouted more but nodded, "Fine," she agreed turning away.

Duo put an arm around her, "I don't have any girl uniforms so you're going to have to wear the boy's version for the first day."

Serena sighed and snatched the uniform from Duo's fingers, "Fine," She grumbled before entering her room and getting dressed.

She came out ten minutes later a scowl still on her lips but dressed in the male school uniform. Duo smirked at her, "You know you're cute in anything you wear." He watched amused as her angry pout turned into an embarrassed blush.

Treize and Artemis walked around the colony. Artemis looked up at his King, "I feel one of them in this colony."

Treize nodded, "Do you know which one?"

Artemis shook his head, "I can't be sure."

"Hey! What are you doing out here!" Demanded a girl with brown hair pulled into a top-knot ponytail. Her emerald eyes sparkled with fury. "This is private property!"

"Jupiter," Artemis whispered.

The girl stopped yelling her gaze falling on the cat. "No way! Did that cat just talk?"

Treize nodded, "What is your name?"

The girl turned her attention to him and looked up at him wariness in her gaze, "I'm Lita Kino. Who are you and why did that cat talk?"

Artemis stepped forward, "Lita, please kneel before me."

Lita shrugged and knelt down. Artemis put one paw on her knee and looked up at her his crescent moon flashing. Lita tried to pull backwards and her jaw dropped in an almost scream as the symbol of Jupiter appeared on her forehead in a blaze.

Artemis only said one word, "Remember."

Serena meekly followed Duo into the school her eyes pinned to the ground. With a soft little sigh she realized she was expected to say her name in front of the class before she could retreat to her seat. She bowed her head eyes still lowered, "I'm Serena Tsukino," She announced.

Duo stood next to her and grinned, "Duo Maxwell."

The teacher assigned them their seats and Serena gasped startled as she was seated next to Heero with Duo on her other side. She noticed Duo scowling a Heero and she frowned at her friend, "Duo, be nice," She scolded.

As the lessons progressed Serena felt her head to the side onto Duo. She turned in her sleep and threw her arm around Duo and fell into a deep sleep.

Serena looked down at herself and blinked, 'I'm in my Princess form.' she thought inwardly. She giggled softly and spun in a circle.

"I'm pleased you're happy," Whispered a voice.

Serena turned startled and gasped, "Mother," She whispered.

Queen Serenity smiled warmly, "Yes, my dear one, it is me. I have bad news."

Serena's smile faded, "Yes?"

Queen Serenity's face grew solemn, "If Prince Darien finds out about Duo's royal crest he'll kill him."

Serena gasped, "No! But. Jedite saw it," She gasped in horror.

Queen Serenity nodded, "At this very moment they're planning to attack. You're decision to leave was a good one however. do you remember how you found your father?"

Serena nodded, "Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?"

Queen Serenity lowered her gaze, "Darien can do the same thing to find you. I know your powers as Sailor Moon aren't enough to stop them but I can't help you until you find all of your protectors. Now you have to wake up! Darien moved far more quickly than I thought! He knows where you are and he and all four of his generals are coming for you. Get out of there!"

Serena awoke with a start. She didn't even realize she was almost in Duo's lap. She looked up at him, "We have to get out of here, Duo. Now," She whispered in a hiss.

Duo looked at her confused, "Why?"

A sudden explosion shook the building and screams filled the air. "Because of that!" She hissed. "Now we have to get everyone out of here."

Duo frowned, "Even that Relena person?"

Serena glared at him, "Duo!"

Heero and Relena turned when they heard the outburst. Before anything else could be said the building shook again. Serena turned to Heero and Relena, "You two have to get out of here now!" she ordered.

Serena sprang away as the wall crumbled and five men appeared. Her eyes grew wide with fright and she took a step backwards, "Duo," She whimpered in fear.

Lita stared up at Treize wide-eyed. "Your Highness," She whispered softly. "I remember I have to get to the princess where is she?"

"We'll take you to her," Announced a mysterious voice.

Artemis, Treize, and Lita turned startled to stare at the Outer Senshi.
