This story took place after the defeat of galaxia and chaos. This is based both on the anime series and the manga so if something doesn't make any sense to those who read the manga then the connection will have to do with the anime, and vice versa.

I never quite understood the saying "you don't know what you've got until you've lost it" until the 8 years ago. But even then, i still didn't understand the mistake i made until the thing i lost came back. But even though i could see her, i couldn't touch her. Have i truly lost her, is there no hope of forgiveness. But then again i don't even have the right to ask for forgiveness. By the way, if you want to know what I'm talking about then i suggest you read the story!

Prologue
Dark Ages

There is a certain time in our history long forgotten by many races. Those times that were full of dark magic and Gods. When your friend could be your enemy in the next breath. The fear that constantly plagued all beings and race into destruction. Yes those times were a very dangerous times and thus it is referred to as the Dark Ages.
The Dark Ages was a time of struggle and uncertain futures. Of betrayal and disturbed sleeps. Chaos reined supreme and caused peoples heart to be filled with doubt and fear. Races that flourished the earth and space like vampires, werewolves, fairies, elfs, dwarfs...etc disappeared one by one as they were wiped out from the face of history. Others went in hiding.
The only way to survive in those days was to give yourself to the darkness. But Instead of banning together to fight the darkness, people gladly gave themselves to chaos until even the Gods alone couldn't fight chaos anymore. But there were a few that held in their hearts a hope of salvation and so those few organized themselves and fought back against the darkness even knowing that it was of no use. But their hoped did not go an answered. For when all seemed lost, a ray of hope in the form of a new born baby girl shined through the darkness breaking Chaos chains and setting free those imprisoned in the darkness. Finally there was a chance to fight for the freedom of all. at the end of the dark ages life blossom and peace reined for years until chaos once again came to attack. this time the battle was fought by the sailor soldiers and thus it was called the sailor wars.

The Sailor Wars
years after the Dark Ages a holy war engulfed the entire galaxy known as the Sailor Wars. Sailor soldiers are born of Stars and planets. The Sailor Soldiers had always fought against evil after the time of the Dark Ages. Until the origin of evil throughout the galaxy, Chaos, was defeated and sealed by the legendary strongest sailor soldier, Sailor Galaxia!!! After Galaxia sealed Chaos away a time of peace and prosperity descended upon the universe and so that time period is referred to as the silver millennium. Over a millennium, Galaxia was able to keep Chaos sealed inside her until 10 years ago when Chaos toke control over Galaxia and attacked the universe once more. but he was defeated by Sailor moon and Galaxia was rescued from his influence.

The silver Millennium
The story began during a golden time of peace, love and prosperity called the Silver Millennium.
Ruled by Queen Serenity on the moon, the entire solar system was habitable and each planet had royal to whom the subjects of that planets followed and served. Queen Serenity had a daughter of the same name, Princess Serenity. The princess of the other planets of the silver alliance became protectors to princess serenity and swore an oath of loyalty to her for all times. And in harmony and understanding with the other planets they kept watch over the growing Golden Earth Kingdom, protecting it from harm and encouraging peace and love to flourish.

However the strife was to come from the inside. The people of Earth grew uneasy and jealous of the special powers and long life span of those on The Moon. The earthlings perceived the Lunarians as aliens trying to take control over them. Manifested as a part of this negative energy, a powerful dark entity called Metallia began to stir in the depths of the planet, and her will and influence corrupted the mind of a young servant woman called Beryl.

Beryl was in love with the ruler of Earth, Prince Endymion, but Endymion's heart, loyalty and life belonged solely to Princess Serenity. He often ventured to the moon to visiting her, to the displeasure of his subjects and hers too. their relation was not received with good tidings but theirs would be a love that would span the ages and transcend time and dimensions, and its first test was right around the conner.

One day, the attack that would end all began. As Prince Endymion was visiting Serenity on The Moon Beryl, using Metallia's power and with the Shitennou (4 protectors of Prince Endymion and fiancees to the sailor scouts) by her side laid siege to The Moon. This resulted in the ultimate and total destruction of the Moon Kingdom as well as the silver alliance which consisted of the planets Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and all the star kingdoms in between, and the death's of the Princess' of the each planet who in their soldier form had sworn to protect the Queen and Princess.

Beryl's plan backfired however, for when she made to strike down the Princess, Endymion threw himself in front of the blade to protect Serenity and perished right before Serenity's shocked and horror field eyes. In her grief, Princess Serenity committed suicide by piercing her heart with Endymion's magic sword.

Seeing that all was lost, Queen Serenity used the forbidden and absolute power of the Silver Crystal (the power of light) to seal away the evil that had caused so much destruction, ending the brief spell of power for Beryl and Metallia and killing herself in the process of using the crystal's full power. In a last act of sacrifice and selflessness, she ensured that Serenity and Endymion would get their chance for love by ensuring they, along with the rest of the solar system's royalty, would be reborn again in a new age and time.

The foolish people of Earth, now leaderless and shamed by their own treachery, jealousy and manipulation, became disorganized and fragmented causing the Earth Kingdom to become many countries as we see today just as the rest of the solar system became deserted and deviod of life.

The beautiful age of the Silver Millennium had finally reached its last chapter.

"hey serenity...its show time! you go on in 5 so get ready." Linda said brightly. Linda has been my helper since i join the entertainment world 8 years ago. she is very dear to me but i would rather die than let her know that.
"OK...i will get ready." i replied in a less enthusiastic voice than hers. every time i go in front of the camera i fear that someone from my covered past will remember me though i know that's impossible because i look nothing like i did 8 years ago.
but what if something goes wrong today and someone recognize me. what will they do. will i have to run and hide again.
"STOP IT Serenity." i chided myself harshly before my fear could take over again. "No body will recognize you and even if they did you have nothing to fear. you have accomplish what you set out to do. Be brave and strong." i repeated it over and over in my head like a mantra until the 5 minutes wait in the dressing room that looked more like a mall was over and i entered the bid rectangular filming room with a big smile and faced the camera.

Chapter 1
Tokyo, Japan --Juban District
Present = Darien

Briiiiiiiiin Briiiiing.....Briiiiiiiing Briiiiiiiiiing... the sound of the telephone ringing abruptly woke me up from my nightmare.
"Stupid telephone" i muttered angrily to myself. i had no right to call the telephone stupid...telephones just don't call on their own. its the person who is calling that should be called stupid. but why would you call someone who woke you up from a nightmare stupid? its because it was a nightmare that i wanted to have no matter how painful it was. it was my only link to her...it has been my only link in the past 8 years since she disappeared so the nightmares are welcome and at the same time unwelcome.
"oh well i am awake now and if i don't pick up the phone it might fricking wake up the neighbors." i said out loud to no one. i dragged myself from my bed and the remaining essences of the dream and went to pick up the phone with the thought that the person on the other line is gonna get it.

"Hello" i said sharply. there was a brief silence and then a hesitant female voice came from the other end line.
"...um..hi Darien...caught you at a bad time didn't I?" the female voice replied.
"REI" Darien exclaimed incredulously. "Its 1 fricking AM and i have to go to work at 5 o'clock in the morning." he shouted. Really, he thought to himself...i really have no reason to be screaming at her but as he said this a small part of his mind contradicted him severely, yes you do...it was her fault you lost the person most important to you 8 years ago. shut up!!! i screamed at my self in my head...really who would believe that the most prestigious medical doctor like me and also the number one bachelor in japan will be arguing with my own self or pining over old lost love interest. i think the day anyone finds out will be the day I'm put in the asylum. His thought continued on in some seriously critical danger until Rei's voice Broke in.
"jesh..I'm sorry to have woken you up ok. i just thought you might be awake..and...um...I was wondering ifyouwouldliketogoseeamoviewithme" she rushed the last part out.
"Speak up Rei, I cant here you and I'm loosing my patience." Darien replied curtly
she seems to sigh and repeated the question again. "I was wondering if you would like to go see a movie with me tonight at about 8 or 9."
A heavy silence filled the room until Darien slammed the phone down on the cradle. it was by a miracle it didn't break. Darien was Visibly shaken as he stood there. the phone started ringing again but this time he didn't pick up. it went to his answering machine and Rei's voice came on.
"Darien please pick up the phone...Darn it Darien!!! Serena has been gone for 8 years. I've been here right besides you all this time so why can't you look at me. she is gone Darien and she is never coming back. GONE GONE GONE" She recited it like a mantra.
"shut up...shut up..she is not gone she will come back! she will come back to me!!!" In anger he unpluged the phone and threw it across the room. by this time his breathing was as heavy as if he had just finish running a marathon. In silent tears he walked out the room and onto his varander and buried his head in his hands and cried for the very first time in 6 years.

After about an hour of bone wrenching tears, he looked up to the silver shining moon and stretched his hands to it as if touching the moon will bring Serena Back.

suddenly memories of the last time he'd seen her flashed back in his mind.

Flash Back - Crown Arcade
Past = Darien

A group of college and high school students were gathered around one table. They were all arguing against a girl name Serena who wasn't even present. As they gave Darien various ways to keep Serena under control, what stood out the most was to have Darien and Serena Break up. Darien, who had always made his own decisions, for the very first time ignored the warning his conscience was giving him and agreed that he could not be with an irresponsible girl and that it would ruin his image. The minute he agreed to break up with Serena...she walked in and headed toward his table. A usual routine between them. If he had truly looked at her..he would have seen the pain in her eyes as well as the purple blotches under her eyes. If he had looked closely he would have seen the dried blood on her back and legs, he would have seen how she stumbled when she walked and how she was barely able to stand on her own. But he was blinded with the need to impress his friends that he made the biggest mistake of his life. A mistake he would realize only after she was gone and there was nothing he could do.

Chapter 2
Tokyo, Japan - Juban District
Present (same night) = Rei

"How dare he hangs up on me...urrrr...I can't believe he is still pining over that spineless traitor." Rei fumed. She had hoped that Darien would finally come out of his shell and take her out on a date. She had been persistent about her intentions of being with him for 8 years but it seems that the more time passes the more Darien craves for Serena and no amount of spells she had cast on him had ever worked. I have been your constant companion ever since Serena left but you still refuses to seen me as more than a friend! Rei thought sadly. She was madly and deeply in love with Darien. She was the one he was going out with until they realized that Serena was the missing moon princess. Their past history brought them back together and Rei was left out cold. But I won’t be forgotten by you Darien! I will make you mine no matter what I have to do. Serena doesn't deserve you, she never did. She can never give you what I can give you. Rei thought vehemently. She crossed the room and walked toward the back of door where the sacred fire was. As she neared however, the sacred fire roared into life and she quickly ran to it.

"Yes...oh yes...finally its working right." Rei shouted gleefully. Finally you’re working for me. It must be because you agree that I deserve Darien. Rei thought smugly.8 years ago after Serena disappeared, I used the sacred fire to try and find her whereabouts but it showed me the death of Serena instead so that's how I know, Serena died 8 years ago. Rei remembered. "Darien when will you accept and believe the truth of my words. Serena died 8 years ago...she is no more. The sacred fire never lies." Rei said. However as she got closer to the fire, it roared back to life as if to devour her. The anger vibrated from the sacred fire was none like she had ever seen. She quickly backed away from the room and ran to find her grandfather, the once head priest of the temple before it was handed down to her.

"Grandpa...Grandpa...GRANDPA, where are you." Rei called out frantically as she moved toward her grandpa's room. An old bald but energetic man who's height was up to Rei's waist dashed out from the corner to meet Rei.
"Rei what is the matter." Grandpa Hino asked in a panic. He was worried that his granddaughter was hurt so he ran fast on his short legs.
"Grandpa, the fire...the sacred fire roared to life and it looked like it wanted to devour me or anything in sight." Rei said fearfully. Grandpa placed his hands on her waist and steered her back toward the sacred fire. The Sacred Fire....hurt my granddaughter, its master? That’s impossible. Besides it hasn't work for the past 8 years so why would it suddenly start working and try to hurt Rei. Grandpa thought. When they reached the sacred room, there was nothing out of place. Everything was calm and peaceful as it had been for the past 8 years. Maybe the stress and disappointment of not being able to use the fire for so long is finally setting in on Rei. Grandpa Hino thought sadly. He didn't need to say it aloud for Rei to know what he was thinking.
Indignant, Rei stamped her foot on the ground and barked sharply, "Do you think I made it up."
"Rei dear, it is just hard to believe that the fire will suddenly start working and worse, that it would try to hurt you." Grandpa Hino said remorsefully.

So he thinks I am out of my mind. Rei was very hurt. In the quiet silence that followed, Rei finally cried for the second time in 8 years. Cried for the powers of divinity she lost 8 years ago but not for the friend she was partially responsible for killing.

Manhattan, New York
Present (same night) = Serenity

Serenity stared at the silver moon and bathed in its warm embrace.
Her thoughts from earlier before the show had started had left her in a sour and messed up mood. Why, she wondered, after all these years are my memories of that time finally acting up. For the past 8 years I have worked really hard to get to where I am now. I have also worked really hard to forget my past but it seems impossible.


Sighing, she went back inside her apartment and locked her glass doors. Her apartment was big and very warm. It was beautifully decorated with pictures she had drew herself of nature. Like the seas on stormy days, the sunset after rain and so on and so fort. She had a couple of pictures of herself, her 'NEW' family, Leoti, Kyle, Beryl and Nehelaniah, and of her 2 guardian cats, Minerva and Merlin. She had big cushioned couches and 3 love seats in a semi-Circular formation. A sound system that would cost millions and a whole side of the apartment dedicated to moves and CD's arranged in alphabetical order. Branching from the living room was a hall dedicated to her photoshots. There were a total of 7 rooms all together and a big Kitchen and also a big bathroom. The two cats shared one room and each other person among the 'NEW' family had a room to themselves. The extra room was used as Serenity's home art studio.

Bored, she sat on one of the love seat and turned on the TV but it soon became apparent that her mind was anywhere but on the random station she had turned to. I wonder how they are doing. No matter how much I tell myself not to worry about them I still do. Hating herself for being so sentimental, she finally focused her mind onto the news Channel she had randomly turned to and wished she had not paid attention at all. There, standing before her on the news was her ex-best friend, Mina. She was doing an interview about her newest TV drama and she looked as happy as if life had always been good to her. Turning the TV off and rushing to the sink in the bathroom, she threw up all she had eaten. It felt like she couldn't breathe and struggled to let in as much air as she could take. Suddenly warm hands embraced her from behind and other hands were all over her, trying to help her. Some hands were softly pounding on her back to give way for air to enter her lungs. A few minutes later she turned to look at the worried faces of all her new family and began to cry. They all went and embraced her. In their warm embrace the only thoughts that passed through her head was will Mina be as happy as she is now if she were to learn that Serena died 8 years ago. What would Darien do and how will the others take it. How will Serena's parents react to the news that their daughter died 8 years ago because of all of them? Will they all turn a blind eye or will they finally realized the mistake they made 8 years ago!

Sorry for the late reply... >.> Great story! I'm desperate to know what will happen next >.< Your grammar and spelling mistake too is good. XD

Chapter 3
Tokyo, Japan - Juban District
Present (a week later on Saturday night) = Setsuna

Many people think I am cold because of my empty stares and cold eyes, but if they were to get to know me, they would see just how fragile I really am. What has kept me alive all this time? Was I too blind or did I just presume too much? Did I force the future I want to happen on the shoulders of one small frail girl and not help her to carry it through? These are the questions that have occupied my mind since 8 years ago. Since that fateful day she disappeared and it stills sit unanswered as I sit on my veranda watching the waning moon. This loneliness I feel, does it have to do with Serena or Rini, Serena’s spitting image. Oh God…someone help me.

As Setsun sat there crying, a girl with shoulder length purplish black hair came up to her and embraced her.

“Why are you crying mom?” the girl asked. 'Mom' didn’t react nor answer for a few minutes and just let the warm embracement surround her.
“Oh Hotaru…what did I do so wrong. It’s my fault for what happened 8 years ago. Because of me, Serena died and so did her daughter Rini.” Setsuna sobbed.
“It is not your fault at all mom…besides Serena is not dead.” Hotaru said heatedly. She had never seen her “mom” cry or loose control like this and frankly it scared her silly.
“Yes she is Hotaru, the sacred fire showed Rei Serena’s death. And everyone knows that the sacred Fire doesn’t lie. She is dead Hotaru. Gone forever and its all my fault, its all my f….”
“Enough” Hotaru shouted, enraged. “How can you of all people believe that Serena is dead? If she died I would have felt her in death but I haven’t felt her soul at all!!!!" Hotaru exclaimed. She was near tears herself.
“But Hotaru, since the day the sacred fire showed Rei Serena’s death, you haven’t been able to feel anyone die though countless people have died. All your defensive powers are inactive and I haven’t been able to see the future or the past to know just how Serena died. You, I and Rei have all lost our defensive powers and even Michelle’s mirror also showed Serena’s death. WHAT MORE PROFF DO YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT SHE IS GONE FOR GOOD!!!?" Setsuna raved in anger and sorrow.

To this Hotaru had no answer. It was true she hadn’t been able to feel people’s souls as they died ever since she herself felt Serena’s soul passing. Nobody knew that she had felt Serena’s soul but it was so much easier to pretend that she was alive than dead. I killed her. I could have helped her but I didn’t. I killed my own mother. This was not the first time Hotaru had come to that realization…but unlike everyone else, Hotaru loved and still love Serena more than anyone else, even more than Rini or the three women who raised her. Oh mama, please forgive me and come back to me. Hotaru cried silently.

As they both took comfort in each others arms, a sudden light brought them out of their tight embrace. The light was golden in color and seemed to brightens everywhere for a minute before simmering down to reveal a young man with silver hair, a horn on his head and in white shirt and pant with green shoulder pads sticking out.



“Helios” both Setsuna and Hotaru cried out in sync.
“We need to talk.” Helios replied in very serious voice.

Tokyo, Japan - Juban District
Present (Sunday Early Morning) = Amy

“Amy dear, Hurry up or you will be late and remember that you have a lot more kids to take care of today.” Mom said as she walked out the door to her car.
“Ok I will” she replied to the empty house. Work, work, work, that’s all I’ve been doing for so long that I can scarcely remember a time when I went out with friends just for the fun of it. Its been so long but when I go out to play I can’t help feel guilty for my sin against her 8 years ago. For betraying my best and most precious friend I had ever had. Amy shook her head so that memories so long buried would not resurface. She knew that if she sat still her mind would wonder over what she wish to forget so she moved here and there, picking up things and putting on her work clothes.

“I wonder how Jayden is today. Yesterday was not a good day for him.” Amy said to herself. Another attempt at closing her mind from the memories of the past that seems to haunt her like ghost. “Mmmmm….I love my job, working as a pediatrician is much more fun and rewarding than I suspected, especially when the children I take of smiles at me afterward. Speaking of taking care of children, I have to help a 5 year old girl who has an organic disease today. I better get going” She rambled on. Amy Had graduated at the top of her class in all grade level from kindergarten all the way through university and medical school and she was also one of the youngest and richest Pediatricians alive so it was a wonder she still live with her mother in their big 2 story house and even more of a wonder why she was still single.

As she grabbed her car keys and hand bag, the shrill of the house phone caught her attention so she rushed to get it. Looking at the ID, she felt disappointed. She had been hoping that the mysterious person who had called her 8 years ago to tell her that Serena had died was calling again and this time with news of Serena’s safety and wear about. But the phone call was from Rei and although she hadn’t talk much to Rei since Serena’s disappearance, she thought of not picking it up. However she realized that if anyone would have news concerning Serena it would be Rei and she was afraid to miss any news concerning her missing friend so she picked up the phone.

“Good morning Hino. What can I do for you?” She asked politely. It was very hard for her to be so polite with Rei. To Amy, Rei was responsible for what happened 8 years ago!!!
“Oh, Hi can I talk to Amy please.” Rei asked uncertainly.
“This is she speaking.” Amy replied with a roll of her eyes. Can’t she even recognize my voice? She thought.
“Oh hi Amy, sorry I didn’t recognize your voice for a moment there…hehe…” Rei said nervously.
“Its alright, we haven’t talk in a while so it is expected. But what can I do for you today, I am on my way to work so can you get straight to the point please.” Amy said evenly at the same time managing to roll her eyes.
“Oh ok then. Setsuna called me…there is to be a meeting tonight and EVERYBODY is to be there.” Rei replied with an emphasis on everybody because she knew that Amy will try to get out of the meeting as she has successful been doing for the past 8 years.
“I am sorry Hino; I won’t be able to attend. Today I have more kids to take care of and I am treating a child with an organic disease so it will be impossible to try and hurry through the procedure.” Amy replied curtly. She had told them to count her out of their meetings ever since Serena disappeared but they never listen and always call to bother her. The only reason she hadn’t blocked their numbers was because she was afraid to miss news about Serena.
“Amy I know that your busy with your personal life and so are we but this meeting is important so can’t you just fricking leave your job for this. And its not like you are the only pediatrician in the whole damn hospital!!!” Rei said in an annoyed voice. Amy was really getting on her nerves with her don’t include me crap.
“Well excuse me for having a job I like doing and for saving kids lives. Go to hell Hino, I am not coming.” Amy slammed the phone down and rushed out of the house and into her car and drove off to the hospital. She was pissed off and the speed she was going was a testimony to it. In her anger she didn’t realize that she was going over the speed limit until a cop stopped her with a ticket.

Chapter 4
Tokyo, Japan - Juban District – Memorial Hospital
Present (same day = Sunday late morning) = Amy

Amy entered the hospital and slammed the door to her office. This action surprised all the people in the hospital because everyone new Amy to be polite and sweet and always with a smile. Her angry entrance and cold demeanor was a shock. She hadn’t even greeted her coworkers!!!
News of this spread throughout the hospital like a wildfire and so everyone was afraid to approach her, with the exception of her own mother of course. Mrs. Mizuno was a kind but assertive woman who did not take kindly to harsh atmosphere in the job. But she was greatly surprise to hear about her daughter’s entrance and cold attitude. She left for Amy’s office to find out what the problem was.

A rapping on the door brought Amy’s head up from the papers she was looking at.

“Who is it” She asked trying to use a polite tone.
“Its Dr. Mizuno…can I come in.” she asked with a hint that she would still come in whether Amy liked it or not. Before Amy could reply she entered the office silently and closed the door behind her.
“Dear, what’s the matter?” She asked worriedly. She could practical feel the anger rolling off of her daughter in waves.
Sighing, Amy dropped her head in her hands and said to her mother in clipped and angry tone. “I got a ticket for speeding mama.”

Mrs. Mizuno’s eyes bulged up in disbelief. How the hell can my daughter get a ticket…it has never happened before. Something must have happened for this to happen I suspect it would have to do with those girls again. She thought angrily. She walked over to Amy and hugged her all the while murmuring words of comfort to her.

“What happened dear” Mrs. Mizuno asked quietly.
Sigh. “Rei Hino called me and asked me to attend their meeting.” Amy answered sadly.
“What…Amy I know you’re a grown person and you can take care of yourself but please I don’t want you to have anything to do with that girl.” Mrs. Mizuno was angry. She had been happy when Amy had made friends with all the girls when they were young and she had been even more happier when she found out that a sweet girl like Serena was her daughter's best friend but because of Rei’s jealousy, everything fell apart.

“I know mom. I told her I couldn’t come because I have to treat a child with an organic disease and she flips about how I am not the only pediatrician in the hospital and all. So I became enraged and drove in my anger.” She finished her story shamefully.

That girl, I will have to give her a severe warning or put her on restriction. Mrs. Mizuno contemplated. Suddenly a knock was heard from the door.

“Yes, who is it?” Amy asked politely, no longer struggling.
“It’s me Darien” came from the voice behind the door. When silence greeted him he timidly asked “Can I come in?”
Sigh “Yes come in” Amy said. Another unwanted visitor and so early in the morning too. She thought.

Tokyo, Japan - Juban District – Memorial Hospital
Present (same day = late mornig) = Darien

Darien was putting things together for the surgery he had to do in 30 minutes when Andrew barged into his office.

“Can’t you even knock before entering?” Darien asked jokingly annoyed
“Oh shove it. It’s not as though you’ve got some girl here you’re doing naughty things to.” Andrew snickered. And Darien looked at him as though he had grown 4 heads.
“Fine fine, I just saw Amy burg through the hospital doors as if all seven hells fire is out to get her and she seemed really pissed off.” Andrew confined.
“Calm, collected, and sweet Amy, Pissed? That would be the day.” Darien replied in a sarcastic voice while rolling his eyes.
“I’m serious. She didn’t even say hi or good morning to everyone like she normally does.” Andrew defended. He hated it when Darien doubts him because they were each others best friend.

Mmm…Amy, Pissed? Why though. Could someone have already contacted her about the meeting? But even if someone has, she wouldn’t be this angry so I’m guessing the anger is directed toward someone and the only person I can think of right on top of my head is either Rei, or Setsuna. So I’m guessing either one of them has called her. I better go see her.

“Andrew can you hold down the forth for me for a minute, I will be right back.” Darien said while moving to the door.
“Sure but where are you going.” Andrew asked, curious.
“To see Amy.” He replied and was gone.

After gaining entry into Amy’s office, Darien became away of the hostile way both daughter and mother were looking at him. So I guess either Rei or Setsuna has indeed called her. He confirmed his suspicion.

“…um…hi Amy…can we talk privately for a minute?” Darien asked while bowing a little in Dr. Mizuno’s direction.
“We can talk here and now. Don’t worry about my mother. She knows EVERYTHING.” Amy replied with an emphasis on everything to get the point across to Darien.
Darien was shocked. So all this time Mrs. Mizuno knew about our secret identity and deeds. I guess I should have suspected it huh. Darien thought with dismay.
“It’s alright. Serena one told me that if I were having trouble keeping our secret away from my mother I should tell her.” Amy answered Darien's unspoken accusation.
“Oh, that sounds like something Serena would say.” Darien said quietly. Suddenly he lowered his head to keep the tears at bay. No body said anything until Darien got himself under control.

This man really loved Serena and he still does even after 8 years of no contact and possible death of Serena. Mrs. Mizuno thought sadly.

“So what can I do for you shields?” Amy asked formally. Talking to Darien gave her the same bitter feelings like the one she held for Rei only the feelings for Darien was tainted by a hint of pity and remorse.
“Oh, well I am guessing that you’ve already been told about the meeting tonight and before you say know please understand that this meeting wasn’t arranged by us.” Darien hurried through it.
“So then who wants this meeting?” Amy asked, confused.
“Helios contacted me in my dreams and also went and told Setsuna and Hotaru to call a meeting today. We will beet at the cherry hill temple, as directed by Helios and then teleport to Elysion.” Darien Finished. Please Amy come to this one, Helios wouldn’t come to see us if it was not important and I have some announcements to make too. Darien thought hopefully.

Amy considered this new development. The last time she had seen Helios was when he was helping to look for Serena 8 years ago. Has Helios found out more about Serena, is that what this is all about? I guess I have to go to this meeting.

Sighing, Amy turned to face her mother and got a nod from her and turned her head back to Darien.

“Very well, I will come but what time do we meet.” Amy said with a small grimace on her face.
“We meet by the temple at 8.” Darien replied with a small happy smile.
“Very well then, I will be there…is there anything else.” Amy asked
“No...that is all Amy…thank you. Good day ladies” Darien replied with a small bow.
“Good day Shields.” The ladies both replied and watched Darien Silently leave the room.
They both turned to look at each other, both with an uncertain smile and a mixture of dread.

Chapter 5
Tokyo, Japan - Juban District – Memorial Hospital
Present (same day = late morning) = Andrew

As the door closed behind Darien, Andrew maneuvered his way to Darien’s table. This place is worse than a library. He thought upon see all the books Darien had there. Andrew sat in front of Daren’s computer and was about to go through some files that would help Darien on his upcoming surgery when a picture frame faced down caught his attention. It was a picture of a blond woman with long hair to her waist and blue eyes. She was very pretty and slightly resembled Serena just a tiny bit. Who is this girl and why does Darien have her picture. He became suspicious. In hearing the handle turn he put the picture down and faced Darien with a raised eye brow.

“What?” Darien asked confused.
“Well how did it go?” he replied inpatient
“How did what go?” Darien pretended ignorance.
“Urgh…will you stop it and tell me already.” Andrew snapped. Seeing the picture of the girl on Darien’s table had really messed him up.
“Cool your jets man…jeez…besides what makes you think she would tell me why she is angry?” Darien said.
“She didn’t tell you?” Andrew asked aghast.
“No she didn’t” Darien said. Well it is true, she didn’t actually tell me why she was upset. Darien reasoned in his mind.
Andrew slumped back on the chair in disappointment.
“Oh well, can’t be helped can it?” He said solemnly.
“Nope, it sure can’t” Darien replied happily.

In the silence that followed Darien realized that Andrew had something on his mind so he decided to intrude.

“What’s the matter man? It’s not like you to not scold me for disappointing you.” Darien said jokingly. After a few minutes of silence, Andrew grabbed the picture and showed it to Darien.
“Who is this?” He asked seriously, almost angrily. So he found the picture huh…oh well I would have told him eventually.
“Her name is Keri Alison. She is someone I met in the U.S when I went there for conference. She is also my fiancée.” Darien replied evenly practically daring Andrew to challenge him.
“She is your WHAT. Darien, have you taken leave of your senses?” Andrew shouted in fury.
“She is my fiancée Andrew and off all people I thought you would be happy for me.” Darien said crossly.
“What about Serena. Are you just gonna forget about here.” Andrew asked sadly. Darien suddenly became very upset.
“Serena this, Serena that…it’s been 8 years of hell for Gods sake!!! Do you think if Serena was here now I wouldn’t throw this girl away and marry her instead…huh?” Darien raved. Of course he was second guessing his decision to marry but it couldn’t be helped. He was getting ‘old’, so he likes to think.
“So when is the wedding day?” Andrew asked quietly, trying to keep his raging emotions in check.
“It’s on September 10th and you are my best man” Darien said trying to lighten the mood.
“Who knows about this?” Andrew asked with a little sad smile.
“No one, you’re the first. I am going to tell the others today.” He answered.
“So if I hadn’t brought it up when were you planning on telling me?” Andrew asked, hurt.
“Actually I was going to tell you today before I take of at 6 pm for home.” Darien said seriously.
“Oh and why are you leaving so early today?” He asked in wonder. Darien never leaves until its 12 midnight. Andrew was perplexed.
“Well I need to tell the girls and also because tomorrow morning Keri is coming here so I want to get the house cleaned and do some grocery shopping.” Darien said excitedly.

Andrew lowered his head and looked at the woman’s picture. True she is a beauty and haven’t I seen her before. Yes I remember now, she is the number 2 top model right after Serenity!!! Wow Darien really does go for the bests. But she is not Serena. Andrew thought brokenly of his missing sister and tears pooled up in his eyes.

“I’m sorry Andrew, but I have reached my limit in waiting. Serena is long gone and there is nothing any of us can do to bring her back. It’s about time we all accepted that fact.” Darien said sadly and left the room for his surgery appointment.

Serena, are you really gone. Is this what you want? Please someone tell me that Darien is doing the right thing. Andrew sobbed. He had been so torn apart with guilt and pain when he found out that Serena was gone and ever since then he had been keeping Serena alive in his heart as well as in Darien’s but now it seems that was no longer possible. Serena if you are alive please, please come and take your rightful place before the both of you loose your chance of a life time!!!

Manhattan, New York
Present (same day = still late morning) = Serenity

Serenity was taking a slight nap when she was suddenly jerked from her sleep. What was that? she wondered in shock. I thought i just heard Andrews voice right now. I'm I going crazy? an whats is this 'Serena if you are alive please, please come and take your rightful place before the two of you loose your chance of a life time!!!' all about? Serenity got up and stretched.

"when you stretch you look like a cat...hahahahha" Leoti laughingly said from the door way. Serenity swiftly turned to see her shadow guardian and run to him for a hug. After hugging the day lights out of him she stepped back and gave him a strained smile,

"Whats wrong" Leoti asked, concerned for her charge.
"I am not sure whether it was hallucination or not really" Serena replied uncertainly.
"What was" Minerva, a talking curious cat asked from the floor at the open door. Suddenly all the 'new' family came out.
sighing, Serenity related to them the strange message that had woken her up.
"I am not sure wether it is genuine or not." Serenity finished.
"It is genuine." Leoti said quietly. At this everyone with the exception of kyle turned to look at him.
"How can you be so sure Lee?" Serena asked, curioused.
"Because we heared the message too, right kyle." Leoti questioned. Kyle just shook his head to indicate that it was true. A heavy silence suddenly decended upon them, each thinking what the message could mean.

" 'Serena if you are alive please, please come and take your rightful place before the two of you loose your chance of a life time!!!' What the hell is that suppose to mean?" kyle suddenly lashed out. " What games are they playing now!!!"
At this no one had an answer, well an answer that would satisfy anyone. Serenity couldn't take the silence anymore so she got up and began to walk out the door.
Eye brow raised Merlin asked, " Where are you going?"
When Serenity got a little passed all of them she turned her head to them and said. "I am going to get some breakfast, last one to get the cereal is a used carpet!!!" and laughing she run with everyone following her laughing too.
But they all thought of the same thing in that instant...'We will never allow anyone to hurt Serenity ever again!!!'

Chapter 6
Tokyo, Japan - Juban District – Jupiter’s Dining Home
Present (same day = Afternoon) = Lita Kino

Sitting on an ever green lawn with an open space for outside eaters was a very unusually restaurant. It was a cottage restaurant surrounded by pink flowers and roses. As if the building of the restaurant itself wasn’t unusually enough, the name was also something else. The restaurant was called Jupiter’s Dining Home with a 4 shaped symbol edged below it. Every body knew what the symbol was and so it was a wonder whether the owner herself was in deed THAT person. The symbol was known to blaze on the forehead of the lighting sailor soldier, Sailor Jupiter, who in her early days protected the earth from evil along side her leader, the legendary Sailor Moon, and the rest of the Sailor Scouts. Though people wonder what had become of their heroes since they hadn’t appeared in 8 long years. Twenty five percent of the restaurants customers were and are still fans of Sailor Jupiter but the other seventy five percent was purely because of the magnificent food that is produced there.

The aroma wafting through the restaurant even made people on the side walk drool for some to fill their belly. This restaurant only produced home fresh mad foods so it’s not a wonder to see families there every morning for breakfast, afternoon for launch and evening for dinner. Of course it can also be said that the waitress were not that bad looking and also one of Japan’s most famous actress frequented it too.

All around the restaurant activities buzzed from here to there with waitresses serving and conversation going around with laughter and excitement. This was a truly warm place for everyone and even the coldest heart could not help but crack a smile either from the joyous atmosphere or from the delicious foods melting like sweet honey into their bellies.

“Para-Para, can you please send water to table 4 outside. Thank you” Someone called out to Para-para from the back.
“Ok Lita” Para-para responded. Para-para was a cheerful blue haired girl whose outer appearance disguise the amount of power buried in her small frame.
“Junjun please take table 15’s order. Thank you” Lita asked Junjun. Junjun was master acrobat for the dead moon circus before it was destroyed and extremely athletic and agile. Her rough tomboyish personality conceals a warm heart and a smart brain.
“Lita, you have a call” A pinked haired girl informed Lita. Coming from the back, a brown haired beauty with emerald eyes and a well built body stepped out to receive the phone call.
“Who is it from Cele-cele” Lita asked.
“It’s from Rei.” Cele-cele replied. She became confuse and a little curious as to why Lita grimaced in hearing Rei’s name but she figured it was none of her business.
“Alright thanks Cele-cele, please tell Vesu-vesu that the person who made the 3 o’clock appointment will be here soon.” Lita sent Cele-cele on her way.

“Hi Lita, it’s me Rei.” Rei’s chipper voice could be heard from the other end of the line.
“Yes, I know it’s you so what can I do for you.” Lita, like Amy, also blamed Serena’s disappearance on Rei.
“Geez you as stiff as Amy.” Rei replied laughingly but when no reply cam to her she got serious and stopped joking.
“We have a meeting tonight.”
“Rei, I am sorry but if this meeting isn’t all that important or it’s like every other meeting then I cannot come tonight.” Lita replied firmly. Geez…would she drop this useless meetings where we only argue and fight among our selves already? Lita thought sadly.
“Well I didn’t call for this meeting so you can relax. Helios was the one who asked us to meet at 8 o’clock at our temple.” Rei said with a roll of her eyes. She was very much away that the others didn’t really like her but she didn’t care.
“Helios…I see, well do you know what the meeting’s about?” Lita asked, curious. For Helios himself, Priest of the magic kingdom, of Elysian to come here seeking all of them could only mean trouble.
“If I did I wouldn’t be this upset and can you please tell Minako about this meeting too. I called her agency but they wouldn’t let me talk to her and kept saying she is unavailable.” Rei said clearly, pissed off.
“…ur sure…I will let her know. Is there anything else?” Lita asked with a raised eye brow.
“Oh yes, the Amazon quartet are expected to attend too so please inform them ok” Rei informed Lita.
“Wait, what…why do they need to be there.” Lita asked shock. The Amazon Quartet had never been allowed in any of their meetings since their reunion after Serena disappeared.
“HOW THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW.” Rei shouted though she knew that she had no reason to be mad at lita.
“Well excuse me…I was just curious is all since they’ve never allowed in any of our meetings.” Lita accusingly said while at the same time managing to fill her voice with heavy sarcasm.
Sigh. “I’m sorry Lita…its not your fault. I am just…well very upset right now.” Rei apologized.
No shit Sherlock…of course your up…upset that things aren’t as you want them to be you evil bitch. Lita thought to herself angrily but on the phone her voice was as smooth as honey. “Of course you are Rei. Take your time and I will tell them”
“Thanks Lita…I knew I could count on you” Rei replied, relieved.
“Sure…see ya.” Lita slammed the phone down. 'I know I can could count on you' she says…gosh what a stuck up little Bitch. It’s the same words that caused me to turn against my best friend 8 years ago. Lita thought disgustedly. But that line had called upon memories she too, like Amy, had been trying so hard to forget. Serena I’m so sorry. Gosh I wish I could go back in the past and change everything. Lita began to cry.

And that was how Cele-cele, Vesu-vesu, Junjun and Para-Para found Lita when they entered the office in the back of the kitchen so the all run to her to try and comfort their friend.

“Lita, are you ok.”
“Yeah what is wrong with you”
“Did something happened”
“Are you not feeling well”
Came a jumble of voices from the worried friends. Lita turned to look at them and in seeing their worried expression wiped her face of the gathered tears.
“No it’s aright girls, I am fine so don’t worry. I just remembered some things from the past that’s all. Anyway were having a meeting tonight and your all suppose to be there.” Lita finished and watched for their reaction. She suspected they would either jump for joy or explode with anger but upon seeing their expressionless face she wasn’t sure anymore what to expect.
“Why do we have to be there? I mean since we’ve been here 6 years ago, we’ve never been allowed in any of your meetings…what change?” Cele-cele…The ring leader asked. This sudden acceptance into the sailor scouts secret meetings perplexed them and in a way also excited as much as anger them. What do the scout wants with us and why now. They wondered.
“Yeah…I am confused about that but this isn’t like any of the regular meetings. It seems Helios is the one that wants this meeting to take place and I have no idea what it is about so you might want to ask Helios when we see him tonight at 8” Lita told them. Really their suspicious behavior too perplexing but she supposed that if anyone was in their circumstances they would also be suspicious.
They four girls talked among themselves for a while and then turned to Lita who was watching them curiously and expectantly.
“We shall go to the meeting with you Lita.” Cele-cele answered.
“Ok then, the only one left to inform is Mina then. Girls please go and tell the customers that we finish as early as 7:20 today ok.” She said.
“Ok” said the girls and they run off to do as they were told.

Lita chuckled at their antics and picked up the phone and dialed Mina’s Private Phone number.
