Chapter 1

"I will be back soon", said Darien. He stood in the airport with his briefcase flung over his shoulder. The world was at piece once again so he was returning to Harvard to complete his medical degree. Serena skipped school that day to see him off. "I'll be right here waiting for you when you get back", she said as she flung her arms around the neck of her fiancée. Darien had proposed the night before.

*Flashback *

Serena arrived at the apartment of her boyfriend of 2 ½ years. I was his last night home before returning to Harvard. Darien wanted to take her out for a very special evening. Serena was waiting patiently for him to open the door. After knocking a few more times the door slowly opened revealing a wet Darien wearing nothing but a towel around his waist. His chiseled abs and chest glistened from the water beads that slowly ran down his body. In his hands were another towel that he was using to dry his hair.

"Baby, do you know what time it is", he said. She looked at his watch after he led her into the living room. "Oops, I guess I was so excited that I got ready early. I'm sorry love". She sat down on his couch. Serena was wearing a red dress that ended right above her knees. Her hair was pulled back in its traditional style. "I couldn't wait for our date tonight", she said," I never want tonight to end". She thought to herself 'Gods I don't want him to leave. But I know he needs to'. Darien strutted over to her and sat down on the couch beside her. He then took her hands in his and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I am going to go get dressed. I will be out in a few minutes", he told her as he stood up.

He turned and walked down the hall into his bedroom. After approximately 20 minutes he emerged from his room dressed in a black tuxedo. Serena eyed him up from top to bottom. She thought to herself 'Gods, he looks gorgeous. He looks better then he does as Tuxedo Mask'. Darien looked at her and gave her a sexy half smile that seemed to be his trademark. Darien was 22 and girls all over the city of Tokyo thought he was a god with his ebony hair, deep midnight blue eyes and dreamy smile.

"Well my love I do believe it is time to go. I have a very special night planned". With that said Serena took his hand and gathered up her purse. Hand in hand they walked out of his apartment. He escorted her to his black Lamborghini Diablo with midnight blue leather interior that matched his eyes. They sped down the streets of Tokyo towards their favorite restaurant The Moonlight Rose. As they walked into the restaurant they were greeted by a very chipper and enthusiastic hostess. "Reservation for 6 o'clock the name is Shields", said Darien. The hostess looked up his name. "Ah yes, Mr. Shields. If you will follow me I shall take you to your table", said the hostess.

They ordered their food almost right away. While they were waiting for their food they wandered onto the dance floor. They started twirling around the dance floor with such grace that everyone else stopped to watch them. The spectators were in such aw that some even whispered amongst themselves believing that the couple they were watching had to be professionals. Little did they know they were far from being professionals. Darien and Serena were doing dances from their days as the princess of the Moon Kingdom and the Prince of Earth. Very few people knew this secret. It was so well kept and guarded to keep their enemies from learning the truth.

After about 3 dances their food was ready and waiting. They exited the dance floor and returned to their table. Both enjoyed their meals while also enjoying a delightful conversation. "Sere, as you know tomorrow I am returning to America. I know after everything that happened with Galaxia this will not be easy for either one of us. But, my love, I promise you this time will be different. I will call and write. Nothing will keep us apart this time around", he said. His eyes stared straight into her bright baby blue eyes that had flecks of silver. Her blonde hair was slowly but surely showing hints of silver. Tears were welling up in her eyes. The memory of the final senshi battle was still so fresh in her mind. She had to watch as all her best and closest friends' star seeds were stolen. Then she had to listen to her enemy tell about the end of her love.

Then she replied, "I know this time will be different. But, I am still scared. The last time you went I lost you. I didn't know it though. I was so lonely. But, I have my friends. They will help me through like they did last time". They continued their meals as well as their conversation. They talked about everything from school to their friends. As the evening wore on Serena noticed that Darien was getting nervous about something. "Baby, what's wrong", she asked. "Nothing love", he replied, "I am just nervous about tomorrow".

"Darien, I can tell when you are lying. I know there is something you aren't telling me", said Serena. With that Darien started fumbling with his napkin. He then stood up and went to stand alongside the table facing Serena. He held her hand and went to one knee. Serena's eyes went wide at the sight of her love kneeling in front of her. Darien reached into the left breast pocket of his jacket. When his hand emerged he was holding a small black velvet box. When Serena saw the box she started to cry.

"Serena, you and I have been together for 2 ½ years in this life. Our love on the other hand is over 1,000 years old. You are my world. I can't picture my life without you in it. You are everything to me. Serena, my precious wonderful moon princess I want to make a vow and complete the commitment I made to you over 1,000 years ago. Serena, my wonderful Princess Serenity, I love you and I want you to be my wife. Will you marry me", Darien asked. Tears rolled down Serena's cheeks. "Oh Darien you have always had a way with words. I would love to be your wife. Yes, yes I will marry you", she replied. Darien opened the box to reveal a small heart shaped diamond ring. He pulled the ring out of the box and placed it on the ring figure of her left hand. Serena squealed with excitement as she wrapped her arms around Darien's neck. He put his hand to her chin and pulled her lips to meet his in a passionate soul searing kiss. Serena wrapped her arms even tighter around his neck as to deepen the kiss. They only broke apart only when they were finally both in need of oxygen.

Everyone around them who saw this display broke into loud thunderous applause. Then they proceeded to return to Darien's apartment where they made love for the very first time. Then, they went to sleep because they had to be at the airport early the next morning.

*End Flashback*

The airport was rather crowded as the happy couple made their way through the halls to the gate. "Flight 1082 to Boston is now boarding at gate 10. Flight 1082 to Boston is now boarding at gate 10", came over the intercom. Darien was the last passenger to board the plane. "I will call you as soon as I get to my place. I love you so much baby", he said. With that said he turned and walked through the gate and onto the plane.

Several minutes later Serena stood by the window as she watched the plane make its way down the runway and take off into the clear blue cloudless sky. She slowly made her way out of the airport and called a friend for a ride. Serena was not waiting outside very long when a yellow M3 Convertible BMW pulled up in front of her.

"Hey Kitten", said Amara with a cocky smile. "Hey Amara Hey Michelle", said Serena, "Thanks for coming to get me". She climbed into the backseat and got buckled in as Amara sped off. Amara was driving so fast that the wind caused Serena's traditional pigtails to have to be held in place with a bandana. "How are you holding up Princess", asked Michelle with a look of concern on her face. Before she had a chance to respond the sun caught her ring causing it to shimmer. Amara caught the sight of the shimmering ring in her rearview mirror.

A smug smile crept across her face as she asked, "What is that on your hand"? "Darien proposed last night", she said. The whole time she was admiring her ring. Even though his plane took off only a short while ago Serena was already missing Darien terribly. Her friends could tell that she was upset. They wanted to do something to cheer their princess up. "Princess, why don't we go to the arcade? I'll get you a double chocolate milkshake. I know that is your favorite", said the blonde with short hair. "Ok, I'm game. But Amara, how many times do I have to tell you…. Please DON'T call me princess", she said, "You know I hate it. You are one of my best friends and you are my equal".

The rest of the ride was quiet. Michelle, who was wearing a white sleeveless blouse with her sea green hair pulled back in a pony tail, was listening to classical music and Amara who had short blonde hair was driving as if she were on a race track. Anyone who did not know Amara would think she were a guy because she was such a tomboy. She looked and dressed like a guy. She even acted like one. Shortly before arriving at the arcade Serena's cell phone rang. "Hey Lita…. Yeah, I know I wasn't at school….. I was at the airport…. That's right…. I was seeing Darien off…. I am on my way to the arcade…. I am with Amara and Michelle…Yeah, meet me there…..I have some news for all of you", with that said she hung up her phone.

They pulled up in front of the arcade and Amara parked the car. AS they entered the arcade Andrew looked up from the counter. "Hey Sere do you want the usual? Hey Amara hey Michelle", said Andrew.

"Yeah Andy", she said.

"So, did you see Dare off today? I know I wanted to but I was stuck here", he said. "Yeah I did. When the girls get here I have an announcement to make", she said.

Andrew went into the kitchen and made Serena's milkshake. Serena, Amara, and Michelle grabbed a booth and waited for all the girls to arrive. Shortly after they sat down Andrew came out with Serena's milkshake. Then, Trista and came in with Hotaru. Trista with her long green black hair walked over to where everyone was sitting. As usual she had a straight face. She rarely showed any emotion. That is all part of the time senshi's mystery.

Hotaru with her black hair and bright wide purple eyes ran up to the crowd she through her arms around Serena. "How are you Sere", she asked.

"I am hanging in there", she replied, "I can't wait for everyone to get here. I have some big news to share". Then turning to Trista she said, "I am sure you already know my new".

"Of course I know Princess. How could I not. I am happy for you", she said. Then she hugged the blonde.

Finally, after much waiting the girls walked in. They saw that they were the last to arrive; they were a little surprised to see Serena there. They went over to the counter and placed their orders with Andrew. Then, they walked over to the booth and greeted everyone. "Hey guys. So Serena what is the news you told Lita about", asked Raye.

"Yeah, come on spill the beans", said Mina.

"Girls, give her some room to breathe. I am sure she will tell us soon enough", said Amy.

"Well I agree with Raye and Mina. I want to know the news", said Lita. They sat down. "Girls, be patient. I will tell you as soon as Andrew gets here with your food. I want to tell him as well", said Serena. They all sat around chatting and waiting for Andrew. Finally, he showed his face.

"Andrew, before you go back to the counter please sit down for a moment", Serena said.

"Gosh Sere, I would love to but I have a lot of work", he said.

"Please Andy", she pouted. Her pout was enough to get anyone to do what she wanted. "I have to tell you all something", she said.

"Fine Sere, you win. But, only until you tell us what you need to. Then I must get back to work", he said. With that he pulled up a stool and sat down. "Okay, Serena, spill", everyone said at once. With her hands folded in her lap she told everyone the events of last night. She didn't say about what happened after she got back to his place. "So he proposed and I said yes", she said at the very end. Then she brought her left hand up to show off her ring.
