Standing in the Night

Has for the story, this is a dark story based off a song by Ace of 
Base but is not a song fic. It includes both the inner and outer 
senshi along with Darien, Andrew, Molly, Melvin and scores of other 
people from the show. The scouts do not have their powers and they 
are normal people.

I called Naoko and she told me that Sailor Moon is not for sale so I 
can not own it. All well I'll try again tomorrow.

Standing in the Night


It was the night, darkness that wrapped around your body like icy 
death slowly squezzing your soul into the depths of hell. 
Serena Tuskino stood in front of the glass balconey doors of her 
apartment and watched the icy rain fall to the ground. Bursting upon 
contact with the rough concrete, much like Serena's heart which felt 
as if it too would burst in her chest.
She was dressed in only a mans white dress shirt with a towel wrapped
around her wet hair now freshly cleaned from her shower. She made 
such a desolute picture, a eautiful woman with hair like golden 
sunshine and eyes the color of the sky. Eyes that glowed with happiness 
and kindnes but now glowed with a deep penatrating sadness. She stood
their alone making a well lit picture for all those who cared to see 
her sadness. 
Serena Tuskino was successful, a highly famed interior designer, and 
beautiful. She lived in a fashionalbe apartment, drove a white 
convertabile, and she could anything in the world she wanted. 
Except love, Serena felt as if though a part of her was gone, like 
someone had taken that piece and now she had to search for this man 
in order to getit back. It was a silly way of thinking but it somehow
suited Serena with her romantic ways and dreamy personality.
Serena sighed and turned away from the window, it would do her no 
good to dream and wish for the unkown. Serena raised slim fingers to 
unwrap the blue towel from her head allowing her blound hair to 
cascade down to her knees. She walked down a small hall way past the 
bathroom which was still littered with clothes and towels from her 
recent shower in to her bedroom.
The room was dark without any lights on and the blinds closed. The 
only ligh came from the bathroom which was down the hall. Serena did 
not mind though, as it was she preffered the darkness agaisn't all 
other. Serena grabbed a hair brush and began to brush outthe tangles 
of her hair. Even as she worked the ever persistant thoughts circled 
in her mind, pushing her closer and closer to tears. 
" Where is he?" "Does he still remember?" " Is there someone else?" 
These thoughts were so well known to Serena, there wasn't a day that 
went by that she didn't think of him. 
She could feel the tears well up in her blue eyes as she brushed with
harder more stressed strokes. Serenity tried to fight them off but 
they simply pooled in her eyes and fell down rolling slowly down her 
cheecks. 
Seren stopped brushing her hair and straightened up, before her in 
the mirror stood a girl, watery blue eyes, tears on her cheecks with 
a brush clutched in one hand and her long hair half brushed out. This
sight was the last one, Serena fell off the cliff plunging head long 
into disper. She threw the brush down and ran to her bed where she 
threw herself upon the white satin quilt and buried her head in it's 
profound softness. 
Her sobs echoed through out the room, the only sound in that lonely 
apartment.
