Now on Earth, Serena and Darien are complete strangers to each other. When they met for the first time, Serena thought that Darien was a good-looking hunk at first, but then she was turned off by his teasing. He constantly called her "Meatball Head" (because of her hair) and made fun of her for being clumsy. Whenever they crossed each other on the street, at the arcade, or anywhere else, they would both make fun of each other with no hope of a relationship. And for a long time that is the way it was for Serena and Darien for a while, but for Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, it was a little different.

When Serena first became Sailor Moon, she was very nervous and scard. In her first battle, it did not look she was going to win when she got into trouble. But then a mysterious figure appeared and saved her from the monster's attack with a red rose. He introduced himself as Tuxedo Mask, a warrior like Sailor Moon dedicated to fighting the Negaverse and restoring peace in the universe. It was him that gave Sailor Moon the confidence she needed to get through the fight and continue on. After Tuxedo Mask left, Sailor Moon told Luna that he was a hunk. Tuxedo Mask began to appear in her dreams and she aways swooned over him whenever he appeared, never knowing he actually was Darian. It would take a while until they discoverd their true identities and feeling which brought them back together. One thousand years after they were first separated.
