Hi everyone! I'm back again with another fanfic. This one though,

will be about Darien and Serena. I know a lot of die-hard romantics out

there and I'm one of them. In this fic, Darien and Serena find out about

their secret identities. They also end up changing, but I will not tell you

how, for that will spoil the fic.

The Prom

Part 1: Are we more than friends?

I just finished helping out a kid when my best friend Darien came in.

"Hey, Darien, what's up?" I ask, worried about him because he's never really

depressed. "Oh, it's just that I know this friend, and my friend likes this

girl, but he thinks she hates him, and would never like him. They argue all

the time. I'm trying to figure out what he can do," he says. I smile.

I know that trick. Whenever you say something about a friend of yours, it's

always about you. "Does your friend like anyone I know?" I ask. "Yeah," he

says. "It's Rena!"

I fall off the chair. Darien likes Serena! True, I should have

noticed it before. The way he always stares at her, the way he always smiles

when her name is mentioned, and the way he's always asking questions about

her. I look at him, smiling , and say, "Darien, you like her don't you? It's

not your friend, it's you!" "Yeah I do, but she doesn't like me that way.

You know that, Andrew." he says.

I causually walk up the street, hoping to run into Darien. Yes,

Darien. I don't know why though. He's always teasing me and calling me

Meatball Head. But then I think about our friendship, the way I call him Dare

and the way he calls me Rena. But it's not that. It's the way that I know he

only likes me as a friend, but I like him more than a friend. And then now I

get depressed, my eyes puffy from crying, remembering what happened a week

ago, and then half an hour ago.

*One week ago*

"Hey Serena!" said Brandon. "Yeah, Brandon, what's up?" I ask.

"Well, you know the prom's coming up, right?" he asks. "Yeah, why?" I said.

"Well, I, um, maybe, um, you, um, would go to the prom with me?" he asks.

"Are you serious! I would love to go with you!" I squeal, with supreme

delight in my voice. "Oh, great! Thanks!" he says.

*One hour ago*

"Hey Brandon!" I shout. "Oh, hi Serena, what's up?" he asks. "Oh,

I just wanted to make sure you had my address to pick me up for the prom," I

say. "Oh, I meant to speak to you about that. You see I had forgotten that

I had already asked Britney to go with me, and when I asked you, I didn't

remember," he said quietly. "Brandon, how could you!" I scream. I ran away

from school, thankful that the last day of school was over.

I couldn't believe that he did that. And at that moment, happening

to be right in front of the Crown Arcade, I walk in, to see Andrew and Darien

talking at the counter. I walk up to the counter and take a seat next to

Darien. "Hey Serena, what's wrong?" said Andrew, turning from Darien. "Yeah

what's wrong, Rena?" asks Darien, with an evil glint in his eye. "Nothing

you guys, except.." "Except what, Rena?" asks Darien, as he puts his arm

around me. "Just that, a week ago Brandon asked me to the prom, and now he

says that he forgot he asked Britney a few weeks ago!" I say, crying violently.

<I wonder if I should ask her? Maybe she'll say yes! > "Hey Rena, if

you want me to, I'll take you to the prom!" I say, hoping she'll say yes.

"Are you joking Dare, or are you serious?" she says, looking at me

questioningly. "Yeah, I'm serious!" I say. "Oh boy, thanks a lot!" she says,

giving me a peck on the lips. "Bye you guys!" she says, her hair soaring

behind her. <Did she just? > I touch my lips, still tingling from the kiss.

"Now, do you think you have a chance?" asks Andrew, smiling at me. "I don't

think I do," I say. "Are you blind! Did she or did she not just kiss you on

the lips?" he asks, glaring at me. Well I couldn't deny that. "I've got to

go get ready, Andrew," I say. "Bye," he says. I go to chase after Serena.

"Rena, what time's the prom?" I ask. "Oh! Hi, Dare, I didn't know

that was you!" she said, turning around to face me. "It's at 7 o'clock to

12 o'clock. "Okay," I say. "I'll pick you up at 5, then we'll go out for

dinner, then at 7 we'll go to the prom," I say, not realizing what I had just

said. "Okay, bye!" she says running off. I smile, still not believing I'm

taking Rena to the prom. Oh well, it's already 4:30. 4:30! Oh, I've got to

go home to get ready!

I run home deleriously happy. I can't believe I'm going with him to

the prom! Oh, what time is it? 4:30! Yikes! I've got to get ready! 15

minutes later I was ready, wearing my princess dress. I had decided to wear

it after all. Hey, the 12th grade prom only comes once in a lifetime. I

put on my white sandal high heels and wait by the window. 4:55! I chew on

my nails. 10, 9, 8, come on Darien! 7, 6, 5, where are you? 4, 3, 2, 1, I

can't believe this! Maybe he decided he didn't want to go with me after all.

Maybe he just wanted to embarrass me. 4:58. Does he have to be on time!

5:00. All that worrying made the time change quick! I ran to the window.

There I saw two glorious headlights of a red sports car. I grabbed my purse

and ran downstairs saying "Bye Mom, bye Dad! Be back at 1:00!

The drive to the restaurant was quiet. After what seemed like 30

minutes but actually turned out to be 3, they reached the restaurant.

"Stay here," said Darien. Serena looked around confused. He walked to her

door and opened it, putting his hand out. She giggled. She wasn't used to

being treated like a lady.

They walked in the restaurant. "Two for Shields, please," said

Darien. "Yes, your table is ready," said the waiter. He walked them to

their table. After giving their orders Serena decided to start up a

conversation. "You know Dare, you remind me of Tuxedo Mask," she said.

"Who's Tuxedo Mask?" he asked innocently. Of course he knew who Tuxedo Mask was. He was Tuxedo Mask! But Serena didn't know that. "Oh, he's the guy who always saves the Sailor Scouts! He is so dreamy!" she said laughing.

"You know who you remind me of?" he asked. "Who?" she asked, genuinely

interested. "Sailor Moon, also rumored to be the Moon Princess. She has your

hairstyle and everything. I had and still have a crush on her!" he said,

not feeling embarrassed as he should have felt. <Darien has a crush on me! I

can't believe it. Well not directly me but you know what I mean. > "Your

food," said the waiter, putting down the plates. They talked the whole dinner. "Hey Darien, do you want to go to the lake for a while. It’s only 6:00 and we have so much time," she said. "Okay," he said. They went to pay the waiter and left.

The drive was again a quiet one. When they reached to the park they walked by the lake. "You know Darien," said Serena, "Andrew told me that you sorta have a crush on somebody that made your heart race, that you spent every minute of the day thinking about. And I was wondering who it was." "Oh it’s someone you know. I really love her. I think she’s the only one for me, but I’m too afraid to let her know though," he said. "Never hide from your true feelings, Darien. That could be one of the biggest mistakes you could ever make," she said. "Oh, look at the time! It’s already 6:50! We’d better get going, Serena!" he said. They ran back to the car deep in their own thoughts.

At last they pulled up to the parking lot of Juuban High School.

As they got closer to the door Serena stopped. "What’s wrong, Serena?" he asked. "There’s Britney, and Brandon over by the door." she said. Darien looked up to see a girl with her date? and another girl with her date? talking. He guessed the one that was talking the most was Britney. Long black hair, perfect body <no where near as perfect as Serena’s though>. "Oh she’s not that pretty," Darien said. "Are you kidding! She’s the prettiest and most popular girl at Juuban High!" said Serena, slowly calming down. "Believe me, she’s not as pretty like an angel which you are," he pulled her close and kissed her.

A roaring electricity ran through their veins. Serena felt limp as she grabbed on to him for support. Darien felt the girl in his arms feel like a feather. Slowly Darien came back to contiousness. <What the hell are you doing to her? You may like it now; Darien, but you’re starting to bruise her sweet lips, my friend>. Finally they broke the kiss, both of them gasping for air. Darien looked at her and smiled, and Serena went closer in his embrace. "Hey Serena, I think we should head to the dance now!" said Darien, his eyes jumping with excitement. "Yeah, I guess we should," she said.

They walked up to the door. "Oh hi Serena! I didn’t know if you were coming!" she giggled annoyingly. Brandon cringed. Britney looked up to see the man holding Serena by the waist. As she looked into his midnight gaze she almost fainted. < This guy’s a hottie! He is so fine, and soon he will be mine. > Meanwhile, Brandon was staring at Serena hard. < Oh, she’s so beautiful. I wish I could go with her still but she’s with someone else now. Dam! > "Shall we go inside, love?" asked Darien. Serena smiled and nodded her head yes. They walked in, leaving Brandon and Britney’s mouths hanging on the floor.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the prom Mina, Raye, Lita, and Amy are standing by the punch table. "You guys, do you think Serena is coming?" asked Mina. "Sincerely Mina, I really doubt Meatball Head would come to something this important," said Raye, trying to hold back laughter. "You guys, I know Serena wouldn’t miss this for the world. She told me so herself," said Lita. "Um, guys?" said Amy quietly. "Yeah Ames?" they all asked. "She did come," said Amy. They all looked over to the direction where Amy was pointing. There they saw Serena and someone dancing and the somebody leaning in to kiss her without her pushing away? "Can you believe Meatball Head? Kissing someone without introducing us first! Come on, let’s go see, who he is," said Raye, walking over.

Serena and Darien broke the kiss. "Hey Serena, how are you gonna kiss a guy without introducing us first. We gotta make sure they’re good enough for you!" said Lita excitedly. "Um, guys? You do know who he is," said Amy. They turned around to look at Serena’s date. "Darien!!!!!" they all screamed. "I don’t believe it and I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes," said Mina. "Hey, can I have my date back?" asked Darien. Serena giggled and went to him, holding him by the waist. "Come on, let’s get some fresh air," said Serena. They walked out together. "Who would have ever thought…"

Darien held Serena close to him. "Serena, there is something I want to say to you," said Darien. "What is it?" asked Serena nervously. "Remember when I told you I loved a girl?" said Darien. "Yeah," said Serena. "Well, that girl is you," he said. He got down on his knees and said,

"Serena Tsukino, will you marry me?"

Serena’s smile brightened the whole garden outside. "Yes, Darien Shields, I would be honored to be your wife." Suddenly a burst of pink light surrounded them both, changing them into their alter egos. "Hello, Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, or today should I say Neo-Queen Serenity and Neo-King Endymion." A voice said. Another blast of pink light turned them into Neo-Queen Serenity and Neo-King Endymion. "Tomorrow at midnight is the time you will merge with your future selves to become equal. Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Saturn, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, Sailor Pluto, and your daughter Sailor Chibi Moon, now known as Neo-Princess Serenity, will join you when you go back to the Moon Kingdom. Prepare!" the voice, said.

They went back in the room, then went over to Raye, Mina, Amy, and Lita. "What the hell is going on here?" asked Raye. "Well, you see, tomorrow is the day we all go back to the Moon Kingdom," said Serena. "Why are we going back there?" asked Amy. "Because, tomorrow is the day we will become our former selves and Darien and I will rule on the Moon," said Serena. "Darien’s Neo-King Endymion?" asked Raye. "Yes, I am," said Darien. "We should leave, Darien. I have to leave a goodbye letter to my family. Besides I’ve got to tell Reenie and Luna," said Serena. They walked out to the car.

"Mommie! Daddie! What are you doing here?" asked Reenie, coming out of the yard. "It’s me, spore!" said Serena. "How come you’re dressed as Neo-Queen Serenity then?" asked Reenie. "Because today Darien asked me to marry him, and because we are to marry, I have become Neo-Queen Serenity and you and all the other scouts will accompany us back to the Moon," said Serena. "Okay, I’ll go tell Luna!" said Reenie. "You don’t have to tell me," said Luna, suddenly appearing with all the scouts.

"Okay now the scouts know about what is to happen to them," said Luna. "Now we must all go home. We must all get a good night’s rest." Said Serena. "You guys, it you want, we can all sleep over at my apartment," said Lita. "That is a good idea," said Alyssa. "We must all get all our stuff," said Tara. "Okay, now let’s separate. Try to come back as soon as possible," said Serena. They all left. "Well, I better get back into my old outfit before my Mom knows something’s up," said Serena. She used the power of the Imperial Silver Crystal to change back. "Hurry Serena, Lita’ll get mad if we don’t come soon!" said Darien. He kissed her gently on the lips. "Bye," Serena whispered softly.

"Mom, Lita’s having a sleepover and I’m going, okay?" said Serena quickly. "Fine," her mother said. Serena ran upstairs to her room to find Reenie packed and ready with their note. It said:

Sincerely,

Reenie

"Reenie, thank you darling!" said Serena. "Okay, now let’s go! You’re welcome!" said Reenie, dragging Serena down the stairs with their most treasured possessions along. "Bye Mom!" said Serena, before slamming the door.

"You guys are late!" said Raye. "Raye, you know that is not how you talk to your queen!" said Serena angrily. "Yes, your majesty," said Raye practically scared out of her wits. "Okay, now sleep," said Lita. Everyone scrambled for a spot and soon fell fast asleep.

"Wake up Serena, it’s almost midnight!" said Mina, shaking Serena. "What! Almost midnight!" shouted Serena. "Everyone gather outside!" said Serena.

"Cosmic Moon Power!" she shouted. A blast of pink light covered them, sending them into the night sky.

The light disappeared, leaving them on the surface of the Moon, in front of the Moon Kingdom.

"Well, now where are our future selves?" asked Michelle, looking annoyed. "Here we are!" said the future Michelle. "Now here goes nothing!" said Darien. He put his hand to touch his future selves and they combined, him changing into his Neo-King Endymion suit. The rest followed, one by one, until the only person who didn’t was Serena, who couldn’t change like the rest. "Moon Crystal Change!" her and her future self shouted. The pink light joined them together, putting Serena in her Neo-Queen Serenity dress.

"Now that we all are changed, let’s get the wedding planned," said Luna. "Wedding! What wedding?" asked Alexandria. "Oh, didn’t you know? Serena and Darien, I mean, the Queen and King are to be married," said Mina. "Well then, what are we waiting for! We have a wedding to plan!" said Tara excitedly.
