Are you going to tell me who Ash is?"
"Well, I should start in the beginning. She was born before us during the Silver Millenium."
"So she was reborn, too?"
"Not exactly. In fact she is different from the rest of us."
"In what way? Ash isn't a Scout or something?"
"Yes!" Serena said has they headed out of the apartment. "She and her cousin were born into the nega-moon family. But don't worry they aren't evil, in fact their neutral. Both were born with the ability of age. Meaning they won't die and can change what age they are. I know it's weird," Serena said after seeing Darien's confused look. "Sailor Pluto took them away from their families, but they stayed in contact. And as they aged, which was faster than most humans, magical or not, they eventually were excepted into the Silver Millennium and became messengers for Pluto. They had three homes basically, one on Pluto, the Moon, and here on Earth. Amethyst is her real same,Ashley or Ash is her 1990's name, and her cousin Topaz or Toby as we call her know."
They both were not on the Moon when..." Serena stopped, because they were at a small cafe, which was right next to her apartment building. There were outdoor tables, which was were she was looking for Ash.
"Darn it!"
"What?" Darien asked, but when he looked where Serena was looking he only saw two people deep into a passionate kiss.
"We're to late?" Serena said as she walked up to the couple. "Um, If that's an 'I can't believe we've been separated for a month kiss.' I don't even want to see your guys 'It's been a 1000 years kiss!'"
"Star, Darien! I wasn't expecting both of you to be joining us," Ash said.
"Kyle couldn't you have ignored her for once so she wouldn't forget the message?" Kyle shook his head no.
"I wrote it down this time."
"So, what it say?"
"You're to get prepared, everyone is. The battles will start soon, and no she didn't say when, and the last thing was to tell you to rest-up."
"Can't she help us out anymore?" Kyle asked.
"You know she can only guide you guys. Oh, ya, I was mad at Pluto because she wouldn't let me warn you Star, about your energy level, so I'm sorry about that."
"It's o.k. I knew the consequences, and I was some what prepared for them."
"Good. Well anyway, Darien it's good to see you. I'm sure Star, here, has told you much about me. I'm so glad everyone is back. Earth just hasn't been the same without you, here."
"ME? Where was everyone else?"
Kyle and Ashley looked at Star. "Darien, we weren't allowed to come to Earth, yet sometimes we came for a short while, which was unknown to my mother."
Darien looked at Star in wonderment. "But all of the memories of us on the Moon?"
"Mother allowed you and your top knights to come only because you were a prince and we," Star grew quiet, and looked up at the moon. "fell in love."
Then she remembered something. "The Star Locket?"
"You fainted so it must still be at the temple." Kyle answered.
"I'll have to get it tomorrow. It's not like it's going anywhere." Star all of a sudden shivered
"I better get you back to bed, Serena." Darien said.
"Go ahead we'll be up later," Kyle told them. Darien and Star walked to the apartment in silence.
"We need to talk." Darien said once they were inside.
"I know we can talk in my room. That way the guys won't walk in." Darien sat in the chair again, but Serena went to the window, or rather the sliding glass doors that lead to a balcony.
"Where do you want me to start?"
"Why not when found out you had another brother, it had to be before you left."
"That's easy, I was told after supper one night. My parents told me that they adopted me, right after both of my really parents died in an accident. And I had a brother, who was older than me, that lived live in the states. He stayed with my father's youngest sister, but she couldn't watch me, too. Then I found out shortly after, and many phone calls with Ryan, that Andrew was my dad's oldest sister's son, and my cousin. I was going to tell you, but then you told me you didn't love me anymore, so I kind of forgot about it." Serena took along pause. "O.K. next question."
"Can I say something?" Serena didn't answer. "I know I should have told you sooner, allot sooner, but I have to tell you, Serena." Darien stood up and walked over to her. "I was afraid, of hurting you. You know my past and how hard it is for me to tell people how I feel. Well, I freaked out and I thought that so hard that because of me you would be hurt or even worse die because of me. It scared me, I was even dreaming about it. My sweet, Serena-Star never in my wildest dreams did I ever mean to hurt you."
"You're telling me that you broke up with me because of what you thought would happen. Not because I was a bad girlfriend, or did something to you?"
She turned around and stared at Darien, waiting for his answer.
"You did nothing, Serena." Serena flew into his arms, hugging him. "No, o goodness, no Serena." Darien said this into her hair has he held her close. "Whatever made you think that?" he said, as he pulled her away, so he could look at her.
"I didn't know what to think." Serena said. There were tears in her eyes, which Darien whipped away and kissed her gently, but pulled back before allowing it to go any deeper.
"You need to go to bed."
"Only if you go with me," Darien looked at her with a questioning look on his face. "I mean, like when I moved you."
"Only if you actually fall asleep." Serena shucked her head yes. Darien picked her up and laid her gently on the bed, then he pulled the covers over her. He lay down beside her, and Serena automatically curled up beside him.
"I love you, Darien."
"And I love you, my Serena-Star," but as he looked down at his sleeping angel, she was already fast asleep.
