crystalhawke@yahoo.com Hey, everyone. I have chapter one done. I don't know how good it is. I didn't involve Mamoru or the inner senshi in this chapter. They'll come in later. I don't know what chapter they'll be in. Maybe chapter two, I don't know. I haven't decided yet. But anyways you already know the disclaimer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Always You And I Chapter One *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* ~DREAM~ "I don't love you anymore." Mamoru said. "I don't want to my life to be mapped out for me. I want to choose my own path. And I just don't love you anymore." "Why does my life have to revolve around something that happened a thousand years ago?" Mamoru said. "I want to start over. Without you." Then he turned and walked away. ~END DREAM~ Serena sat up, breathing heavily. Tears streamed down her face. How could he do this to her? They had gone through so much together. She loved him. When she went to turn on the lamp she knocked over something. She picked it up. It was a picture of her and another man. He was waist deep in water and he was holding her in his arms and they were both wet and smiling. They had been at a lake when Serena had fallen off the boat. He had dived in after her and when he carried her to shore, Rimona had taken the picture of them. "Well, Mamoru you've started over and so have I." Serena said. "I hope you're happy, because I am...with Justin" She placed the picture back on her night stand and a single tear fell from her eyes. She had met Justin soon after she had come here. He was a singer and hoped that he and his group(98?) would become famous. He had asked her to be his girlfriend. She had accepted. Serena smiled and fell back asleep. But the image of Mamoru walking away was still in her mind. *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* It's so hard to say How a love could end this way The one that used to care for you Just turned and walked away *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* ~THREE YEARS LATER~ Serena turned up the radio as she rummaged through her closet. Michelle, who was sitting on Serena's bed, looked up from her magazine. The blond blew some strands of hair from her face and sighed. "What are you looking for Ser?" Michelle asked. "What does it look like?" Serena said as she pointed towards her closet. Michelle looked at her confused. Serena rolled her eyes. "I'm looking for my favorite shirt." "Well, I didn't take it." Michelle said. Serena looked at her and folded her arms. "You might be my sister and I might have taken things without asking before but I would never take your favorite shirt without asking." "Well, where could it be?" Serena asked as she started to pull clothes out of her closet. Michelle shrugged her shoulders and went back to looking at her magazine. "You don't suppose Lance or Tranq took it do ya?" "I don't think your clothes would fit them." Michelle said unconcerned. "Why would they want to anyway?" "Well, it couldn't have been Rimona or Celeste." Serena said. Suddenly she stood up and ran out of her room. Michelle shook her head and smiled. Her sister's shirt was probably in the laundry. A few minutes later Lance walked in. "Have you seen Ser?" He asked. "She went that-a-way." Michelle said pointing. "Looking for her favorite shirt." "She's going to be late." Lance said. "Oh, puh-lease the kid hasn't been late in a long time." Michelle said. "She still has an hour before she has to be at school. You go through this every day." "Either she's looking for something or Tranq is." Lance said exasperated. "They're a lot alike." "Well, they are twins." Michelle said. "You should know your own little brother and sister by now." "I do know them." Lance said. He looked at Michelle. Who looked like the only thing ready on her was her hair. The shiny blond hair was done up neatly in a ponytail. "Why aren't you ready?" "It's acting school, Lance! It starts in an hour." Michelle said annoyed. "Besides Derk's picking me up. He always does. You know that." "I really don't see what's so special about that shirt." Lance said. "She has other black shirts." "You are so dense sometimes." Michelle said rolling her eyes. "Justin gave it to her." "Well, whatever. I'm going to eat some breakfast." Lance said leaving. Michelle stood up and went to looking for Serena. She bumped into Tranq who was dancing down the hallways. He took off his headphones and looked at his sister. "Serena's missing her favorite shirt again huh?" Tranq asked. Michelle nodded. Tranq put his headphones back on. "The last time I saw it, she was wearing it." *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* And it's so hard to find To leave the pain behind When all the things your lookin' for Your heart can't seem to find *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* Serena was frantically looking for her favorite shirt now. After checking with Rimona and Celeste, who hadn't seen it anywhere, she started to panic. She was going to see Justin today. He was back from tour and wanted to be with her. He had given her the shirt before he had left a few months ago. It was a black see through button-up shirt. It went perfectly with her with her dark purple tank top, that he had also gave to her. Blowing a strand of hair from her face she looked at one of the guards that was standing in front of a door. She walked over to him. "You." Serena commanded. The guard looked startled for a moment before looking down at her. "Where have you been this morning?" "Standing here." The guard answered. "I have witnesses. I haven't seen your favorite shirt." "Ah, hah!" Serena said. "I didn't say anything about my favorite shirt. How did you know I was looking for it, hmmm?" "Prince Lancelot walked by mumbling about it." The guard said. "Oh." Serena said. She placed her hands on her hips and turned around. Suddenly she ran towards a door and barged through. She looked around and noticed her shirt hanging neatly on a hanger among a bunch of other clothes. She snatched it and spun toward the maid that was startled by her sudden appearance. "So you STOLE it!" "Uh, no Princess," The maid said. "You wanted me to wash it for you. You gave it to me last night." "Oh, yeah." Serena said sheepishly as she apologized. She smoothed out her purple tank top before putting on her black shirt. She left it unbuttoned. She met up with the others in the dining room a moment later. "Finally found it huh?" Rimona asked grinning. "You have hundreds of shirts like that." Lance said. "You could have worn one of those." "Justin didn't give me THOSE ones." Serena said sticking her tongue out. The other girls wore the same things except Celeste, who wore white. The guys were wearing all black and their button-ups were buttoned except Tranq's, who was still jamming out to his discman. "Tranq, take those off." Lance said. The younger boy didn't answer as he continued. "TRANQ!" Lance yelled. Still the boy didn't notice him. "Lance you need to chill." Jordan said as he grabbed a muffin. "He's just a kid." "He's eighteen." Lance argued as he stared at his brother. Sometimes his brother acted like he was a little kid. He really couldn't blame him though. It was tough for Tranq, when he realized that their mother had sacrificed herself so that they could have a future. They all had reacted differently, when the news was given to them. "Hey, Leisha." Serena said. Immediatly Tranq took off his headphones and looked around. When he realized that Leisha wasn't there, he looked back at his sister who was laughing hysterically. Everyone else was laughing as well. "That was mean." Tranq said as he picked up his juice and gulped it. "You like her." Serena teased. "Do not." "Admit it. You have a thing for her." Serena said. "It's only obvious." "Yeah, you kiss on your pillow every night." Rimona said. She made kissing sounds. "Oh, Leisha." "I don't do that." Tranq said blushing. Which caused everyone to laugh more. Finally Lance stood up. Everyone quieted down as he left the room just as Derk walked in. Derk gave him a funny look as Lance brushed past him. "Derk!" Michelle cried out as she flung herself at him. "Hey, babe. You ready?" Derk asked. "Yep, let's go." Michelle said grabbing his hand. She dragged him out "Lancey's in a bad mood." "I guess we better go too." Rimona said as she and Jordan stood up. "We'll see you guys later." "Bye." Celeste, Serena and Tranq said simultaneously. They stood up and grabbed their stuff as they went to the garage where Lance was waiting for them. He started up the truck as they got in. A few minutes later he pulled in a parking lot. Serena got out and immediately noticed a man sitting on a stone bench in front of a little pond with a geyser fountain. "JUSTIN!" *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* I'll be the air that you breath I'll give the strength that you need I'll be the light in your eyes When hope becomes hard to see *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* "What do you say you and I go out, Hecate?" Cerberus asked. The large black dog moved closer to the dark cloaked figure. "I think not!" Hecate said moving away. "You're a dog!" "So, you can shapeshift." Cerberus said. "I am a familiar without a true form." Hecate said. "Just because I can change into anything does not mean I am going to go out with you." "Luna, how about you?" Cerberus asked. Luna looked startled for a moment. Cerberus gave her a toothy grin as he walked toward her. "I think not!" Luna said. "A cat with a dog? That is proposterus." "Oh, come on." Cerberus whined. "I just want to have fun. I'm sick of staying here all day waiting for our charges to come home." "Then why don't you go do something with Apollo?" Hecate asked. "Luna and I already have plans." "What sort of plans?" Apollo asked. He certainly did not want to spend the day with Cerberus. If he could convince Hecate and Luna to let him hang around with them then he could fly around and get away from Cerberus. That dog always wanted to do the same thing day after day. "Perhaps I could join you ladies?" Hecate and Luna understood what he meant. But if they let him come along then they would have to let Cerberus come. They looked at each other for a moment as if they were debating on whether or not they should. Then suddenly a wicked thought formed in Heacte's head. She smiled at Luna as she walked over to her. "Luna, if we let these two come along, then they will have to go everywhere with us." Hecate said. Luna looked at her and a smile formed. "Thinking what I'm thinking?" "We do need to get them back, for that little episode last week." Luna said. "And what better way than to do girl stuff?" Hecate said. Embarressing them would be so much fun. "VERY girl stuff." *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* I'll be your shining star To guide you wherever you are And I'll promise that I'll be by your side Always you and I *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* "Um, Derky, we just passed the school." Michelle said. She looked at her boyfriend as he drove past the school. Derk shrugged as he glanced at her and smiled. Immediatly Michelle became suspicious but she didn't say anything. She turned up the radio as she snuggled into her boyfriend's side. "So what do you want to do?" Derk asked as he put his arm around Michelle. "I don't know." Michelle asked suspicously. "What do you want to do? "Whatever you want to do." Derk said avoiding the question. He pulled into a parking lot and got out. Michelle looked out the window. They were at a lake. The lake where they met. They had both worked here a few years ago. Michelle had hated Derk the first couple months. But then she realized that she liked him after they spent some time together. This was the place where they shared their first kiss. Michelle, are you going to get out?" Derk asked. Michelle snapped out of her thoughts as she got out of the car. Derk grabbed her hand and led her towards a boat. After they were in he started the motor and drove the boat onto the lake. After a minute he stopped and turned off the engine. He leaned in and kissed Michelle. He stared into her eyes after he pulled away. "I love you so much. Will you marry me?" Derk asked pulling out a ring. Michelle's eyes widened as the words sunk in. Derk was almost afraid that she would say no. He didn't realize that he was holding his breath as Michelle answered. "YES!" Michelle said throwing he arms around him. She kissed him and let him place the ring on her finger. "When?" "Right now." Derk said. Michelle thought he was joking until she looked in his eyes abd reaized that he was serious. "We can have a big wedding later. I want you to be mine now." "But how are we going to get married now?" Michelle asked. A second later she heard a motor. She looked around and saw a boat heading towards them with three people in it. "Is that Rimona and Jordan?" "Hey, Michelle." Rimona said grinning as the other boat stopped next to them. The man that was with her and Jordan pulled out a book. Michelle looked at Derk who was grinning at her. His eyes shone with love and adoration as he held her hands in his. She didn't seem to hear the words until Derk said something. "I do." "And do you Michelle..." Again the words seemed to drown out as she stared at Derk. She couldn't believe that this was happening. That she was getting married in boat! She wasn't even dressed apropiatly. She realized that everyone was staring at her expectantly and she broke out of her thoughts. "Oh, um, I do." "You may now kiss the bride." Millions of thoughts flashed through her head as Derk leaned in and they kissed. After they broke away, finally, Derk drove them back to shore. Rimona and Jordan were grinning as they stepped onto the ground. Rimona gave them both a hug. Jordan did the same. "Wow, you get married and I'm going to have a baby!" Rimona said excitedly. "WHAT?" Michelle said shocked. She was so confused and all this excitement was still buzzing through her head. This was all too much for her. It felt like her brain was overloading. She looked at Rimona who grinned. "I can't believe this!" "Neither can I." Rimona said happily. "Well, what are we going to do now?" Derk asked. "HELP, MONSTER!" *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* You know you're not alone Without a love to call your own I'll always be right there for you To help you carry on *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* "Micah, are you sure this is a good idea?" Jason asked as he stepped out of the car. The blond-haired man looked around. He had so much sun-block that his skin shone, he wore dark glasses, a fisherman hat, and was geared up in a long sleeved grey shirt with a grey fisherman's vest and jeans. "Jason this was camping trip," Micah said as he looked at his friend. "I think it will be pretty safe." "Yeah, and you didn't have to use the WHOLE bottle of sun-block." Zane said. "He used THREE!" Nathan said. "At least you didn't have to sit in the back seat with him." "I happen to have very sensitive skin." Jason said. The other three men started to make fun of him. He was about to protest when they heard someone scream. They looked up to see a youma attacking some people nearby. "Hey, isn't that..." "Yes, now lets help them." Micah said. EARTH GENERAL MAGIC POWER EARTH GENERAL STAR POWER EARTH GENERAL AQUA POWER EARTH GENERAL FLAME POWER "Hey guys, need help?" Nathan asked the four people. The blond smiled at them. They attacked the youma with a series of punches and kicks. "Great to see you guys." Michelle said. SUN CRYSTAL POWER MAKE-UP SHADOW POWER MAKE-UP DELTA SOLDIER POWER INFERNAL SOLDIER POWER Michelle who now had purple hair and wearing a purple and black sailor fuku stared at the youma. It was large and fish-like. She hated everything about the gross things. She hated their smell, shape, taste, slimyness... Why did it have to be a fish? Already she felt as though she were going to throw up. She felt someone squeeze her hand. She looked over at her husband. Who was dressed in a black uniform. He wore a black mask. "Hey, you icky fish thing." Michelle called out. The fish youma turned towards her. "Ugh, what a most disgusting creature. Of all things it HAD to be a fish!" SHADOW SURROUND INFERNAL DEATH ASSAULT "I know you hate fish, but please concentrate." Soldier Delta said. DELTA THUNDER STORM SOLAR STRIKE "I have concentration." Sailor Sun said sticking out her tongue. She powered down and looked at the others who had also powered down. After making sure the generals were fine they went back to the school, while the generals stayed and continued with their vacation. *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* A heart that's always true Girl I'm giving mine to you And everything you ever need I promise I will do... *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* "I missed you Ser." Justin said giving his girlfriend a hug. Pulling away he looked down at the blond who was now looking at him curiously. He nodded a greeting at Lance. "I need to ask you something." He said to Serena. "Alright." She said. By now a million thoughts were going through her head. Was he going to break up with her? He was a famous singer and maybe he didn't want to be with someone so common as her. She didn't notice that Michelle, Derk, Rimona and Jordan had pulled up. What she did notice was Justin pull out a little black box. "Serena, we've known each other for almost four years. I promise that I'll be by your side, I'll always be there for you. I'm giving you my heart." Justin said kneeling and taking her hands in his. "What I'm trying to say is..will you marry me?" *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* END OF CHAPTER ONE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WHEW! Done, I did it. I got through chapter one. Yes, I'm sure it's a cliffhanger. I wont use this song in all the chapters. I'm going to use other songs. I just thought this song was perfect for the breakup with Mamoru and Usagi and the love of Justin and Serena. Sorry about that all you Mamoru/Usagi people. Well, tell me what you all thought.
