Summary So Far: Galaxia was the toughest enemy they ever endured and thank heavenly she was refreshed back to normal. So far, Tokyo Japan has been at peace for the past several months. Not one single incident has interrupted the scout's lives. Except for Serena. Darien felt it was time to give the university in America another shot. The news of him wanting to go made Serena feel vulnerable once again surely enough lonely. Without Rini the house seemed to quiet, not even Luna could keep her occupied enough. Eventually, she pushed everyone away and secluded herself in her bedroom every night when she came home after spending some time at the arcade. Poor Luna had to sleep out in the family room or stay with Mina and Artemis. She didn't mind of course but she was bothered that her partner and loyal friend pushed her away as well.

What has become of her? You're about to Find out in theses Chapters to come!

"I'll be back for you, I promise." This was the last thing Serena heard from Darien before he went through the security checkpoint at the airport. But that was 4 months ago. Serena has not received any phone call or any letters.

Serena would leave dozens of messages on his answering machine, just simplying saying, "I love you and miss you." Than she would hang up after trying so many times she gave up. On the last day of May Serena called one last time to leave a very long message, "Darien, it's me Serena. I don't know why you won't return my calls. For these past months I've tried calling you, sending you letters. Why? You promised you would come back to me. We're suppose to be together forever. I love you. Don't do this Darien. I have not been the same, because I am so worried about you. I've isolated myself from the girl's. They have no clue what's been going on. I have not been eating, or sleeping properly. But you should know the planet is at peace, if you even care anymore. There has not been one incident. Everyday our daughter will write to me, letting me know everything is okay in the 30th century. She even asks about you! It is disappointing that I have to lie too her saying your doing fine. That's shameful as a parent. Darien I hope you come to your senses and call me back. Please, so I know you're okay." Than before she hanged up, "I love you." was said with tears fillings her eyes.

Since after leaving the message, Serena never got anything back.

June was starting its third week, and High School was coming to an end for summer. Serena was not too worried about her exams. For the four months and two weeks that passed, Serena continued staying isolated from her friends and just studied on her own. Luna never thought she would see the day, "She's studying!" She would tell the girls but they didn't want to believe it because no one ever had the chance to talk too Serena. Every time one of the girls tried to talk to her, she just would walk or run away. It was to the point they didn't even bother to try anymore. Luna was always the one who told the girls how Serena was doing. Serena never told Luna about Darien though, she told the same lie, "He's doing okay."

So that evening Rei decided to call up a study day. She wanted to know if Luna was telling the truth about Serena studying. At first Serena was going to say no, but Rei convinced her by saying, "You're missed and we haven't seen you like forever. You isolated yourself from us. Please Serena we're so worried about you. You shouldn't keep yourself away."

This convinced her enough. When Serena arrived, her friends could not believe what they were seeing, books were in her arms.

"Serena studying? No way! " Lita whispered to the other girls. Serena kind of just smiled and sat herself down opening her textbook to whatever page she had left off at.

"What is this sudden change in that girl? Rei whispered back. None of the other girls could answer. "This is quite unusual for you Serena." Mina announced out loud.

She just replied back, "I wanna be successful."

"Serena is there something you're not telling us. You know Luna tells us everything! She told us you were studying; I had to see it for myself. Lately for these past four months, you've kept yourself away-"

"It's nothing to worry about." Serena interrupts and continues her focus on the textbook.

"No damnit! There is something wrong!" Lita pulls the book out of her sight.

Rei continues, "We want to know why you're different. This is not like you at all. You shouldn't keep your feelings to yourself. Why Serena?"

Serena quickly stands up and takes back her book, "You wouldn't understand!" She turns her back to the only friends who ever cared and fought beside her, leaving them with cold shoulders.

"She's been like this every since Darien left. I have been asking her how is he doing? The same reply would be, he's okay or he's doing just fine. I can't get a straight answer from her. She won't tell me the truth." Luna explains to them, "I feel it's something more. Forgive me Serena for eavesdropping, but girls I think you want to hear this. I heard her say this to Darien on the last night of May. Here listen to this recording." Luna brings out a little device, than hits play.

"Darien, it's me Serena. I don't know why you won't return my calls. For these past months I've tried calling you, sending you letters. Why? You promised you would come back to me. We're suppose to be together forever. I love you. Don't do this Darien. I have not been the same, because I am so worried about you. I've isolated myself from the girl's they have no clue what's been going on. I have not been eating, or sleeping properly. But you should know the planet is at peace, if you even care anymore. There has not been one incident. Everyday our daughter will write to me, letting me know everything is okay in the 30th century. She even asks about you! It is disappointing that I have to lie too her saying your doing fine. That's shameful as a parent. Darien I hope you come to your senses and call me back. Please, so I know you be okay."

"I love you..." The recording stops, and girls all felt heartbroken by this. They didn't have words to say at the moment.

"I don't know what's going on. But something was telling me to go eavesdrop on her. I just had to girls. I was bothered by her replies she always gave me about Darien. If you can please ask her, but promise me you wont tell her about the recording. I know she won't forgive me."

"We promise."

Serena didn't return home after running away from Rei's place. She decided to go off to the park, which it was hers and Darien's favorite dating spot. She spotted the bench, where they always sat next to each other. And there in front of their favorite bench was the fountain. Serena took a seat on her usual spot; the right side. Darien was always the left. She glanced over to her left and visioned him beside her, reading a book. It felt so real to her, "Dar-" the vision vanishes, "don't go!" She tries reaching out to him, "I need you here!" Serena puts her face into her hands, she was now crying. Lost without Darien. The hope she could hold onto now was not giving up. She knew her friends cared, but she didn't want to tell them. She feared that if she were to share this with the girls they would find some way to insult her or tell her she's just having a weak moment.

"They could never understand." She raises her head up a little to whip away the tears and just keeps her head down, not bothering to stare at the park or any of the couples.

"I know why Rei invited me over, she wanted to see if I really was studying. Luna, I can't believe you. No one seems to care how much I've changed. They think I'm doing it for attention. Or I'm not being serious. They-"

"Serena why are you here alone?" A familiar male voice interrupts her thoughts. She looks up and gasps.
