crystalhawke@yahoo.com Hey, everyone!! I'm sorry for all you Usagi/Mamoru people out there. Please don't hate me for what I am about to write in this fic. But just think they still might get back together. I love Usagi/Mamoru romances but I'm just kinda sick of them. I decided to give it more of a twist. Give Usagi a chance to love someone else. But anyway, tell me what you thought of it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Always You And I Chapter Two *_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_* Serena stared into Justin's eyes as he held her hands in his. Love shone in his eyes and every doubt and fear melted away inside her. He looked so handsome in his white tuxedo. He had made sure that everything was the way she had dreamed. They were getting married outside. White silk tents provided shade for the guests. Hundreds of white roses were all over the place. White rose petals covered the ground where she walked. Everything was white. Everyone wore white. It was like a fairy tale. "Serenity, I cannot describe the love I have for you. I know you've heard me say these three words so many times, I love you, and you're going to hear it many times more. Know one knows me like you do, you're my sunshine, my angel. I want to make you're dreams and hopes come true. I want to be the one to hold you close and to take away your pain." Justin said. As Serena listened to his words she knew they came from his heart and that he meant what he said. She realized that it was her turn to speak. She looked at him nervously and when he smiled at her she knew what she wanted to say. "Justin, I love you in a way that I have never loved anyone. When I met you I felt as if my whole world had ended but you made my world whole again. You touch my heart in ways that words could never say. You have already started to make my hopes and dreams come true. You have filled the emptiness of my heart and made me believe in love in a way that I never thought possible. You are everything to me. My love, my world." Serena said. She felt tears of happiness well up in her eyes as the bishop started the vows. After saying their "I Do's" Serena was officially Justin's. When they turned to face the guests she noticed that everyone had tears. A moment later she was bombarded by her sister and brothers, as well as Rimona, Jordan, Celeste, Derk and Leisha. "Well how does it feel to be Serena Jeffre?" Michelle asked. "Like I could walk on air." Serena said."How does it feel to be five months pregnant?" "Well, I feel like an inflated balloon." Michelle answered placing a hand over her stomach. "But it's the most wonderful feeling in the world." "Well, there is my new daughter-in-law." A woman said walking up to the happy couple. She grabbed Serena and embraced her in a tight hug. "It's about time you two tied the knot. I knew from the moment I saw you when Justin first brought you home almost four years ago that you were meant for each other." "Thank you mother." Justin said grabbing his wife back from his mom's embrace. "I'll try to be a perfect wife for him, mom." Serena said. "You will do no such thing." Mrs. Jeffre said waving a hand in the air. "As long as you are yourself and do what you want to do instead of what you think Justin wants then I'm sure you will both be very happy. It worked for me!" "Yes, it did." Justin's dad said walking up. He grabbed Serena and gave her a hug. "You are such a beautiful addition to our family." Justin got his wife back just as music started. Nick, Drew, and Jeff started to sing 'The Way You Do'. Justin held Serena close as they danced and sang the song to her with the others. Everything was perfect and wonderful for Serena that day. She felt a loss for Mamoru and she knew that she would always love him, but she felt an overwhelming sense of love and happiness with Justin. She had moved on. *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* You've heard this a thousand times before I'm in love with you You'll hear it at least a million more Baby, that's the truth *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* ~SIX MONTHS LATER~ Serena picked up the two month old little girl. She was such a beautiful little girl. She had inherited her daddy's brown hair and brown eyes and her mother's personality. She and Justin were babysitting for a couple of days while Michelle and Derk went out. "Justin will you get Charity's bottle?" Serena asked as she started to change her diaper. A few seconds later Justin walked in with bottle in hand. Serena handed him the baby and he sat down in the rocker and fed her. "And how is Charity after she had her nap?" Justin cooed. Charity stared at him with large eyes and gurgled in response. He looked up at his wife and felt so much joy. Soon he would be doing this with his own child. He couldn't wait and taking care of Charity was good practice. He couldn't describe the joy he felt when Serena had told him that he was going to be a daddy four months ago. "Serena, I have something to tell you." "What is it?" Serena asked looking up. She suddenly felt nervous. What was he going to say? That he couldn't be with her anymore? That he didn't love her like he thought he did? She shook her head. This pregnancy really had her over emotional. "Well, I'm going on tour soon and I want you to come with me." Justin said. "Of course, where are you going?" Serena asked. "Tokyo." *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* It's the small things that endear me Every time that you are near me *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* ~ONE MONTH LATER~ Serena stepped out of the jet and looked around. She couldn't believe that she had actually came back here. She wouldn't have come but it meant so much to Justin. She knew that he wanted her close so that he didn't miss anything with the pregnancy. He loved her so much. "Ready?" Luna asked as she stood next to Serena. They walked down the end of the stairs and waited. "So this is Tokyo?" Tranq said as he stepped out behind them. He took his headphones off and put them around his neck. "Cool." "Alright, guys the limo is waiting." Lance said as he grabbed Tranq and pulled him towards the limo. There was no way he would let his brother out of his sight. He was oldest and was responsible for his safety. Tranq was the only one he had to worry about since Michelle and Serena had gotten married. Though he did worry about them anyway. Especially since Charity was only two months old and Serena was five months pregnant. "We'll meet you guys at the hotel." Jordan said as he and Rimona stepped out. They stood next to Serena. "I was thinking that we could all take a tour." Michelle said as she walked towards the limo with Derk and Charity. Leisha and Celeste followed them. "I want ice cream." Serena said suddenly. She turned to Justin who had finally gotten off. Nick, Justin and Drew followed him. Black and purple unformed guards were positioned around the airport. Immediately it seemed like the place was filled with fans. Justin grabbed Serena and headed for the limo. The other three stayed back to sign a couple autographs and shake hands. "You're going to the hotel." Justin said. When Serena opened her mouth to protest he put his hand over it. "I don't want anything to happen to you. Understand?" At Serena's nod he took his hand off her mouth and gave her a quick kiss. "Good, I'll meet you there." "But-" Serena started but he was already gone and the limo had started to pull away. She felt anger well up inside her. How dare he treat her as if she were fragile. She may be pregnant but that did not mean that she couldn't handle anything. "Justin, may I speak to you?" Rimona asked. She pulled him over to another limo that was waiting. After getting in and closing the door she turned to him. "Serena is-um-Serena has had a lot of heartache..." "Is something wrong with her?" Justin asked suddenly fearful. "Yes-no-what I mean is that Serena isn't-" Rimona took a deep breath. "Four years ago Serena was called Usagi and she lived here. Her friends turned on her and the man she loved broke her heart." "That would explain a lot about her strange behavior since I first told her we were coming here." Justin said thoughtfully. "Prince Endymion didn't and does not deserve her." Rimona said angry. "What if he discovers she's here and decides he still loves her?" "The Earth Prince had his chance with her." Justin said calmly. "If he still loves her then I will fight for her." "You are a good person Prince Quartz." Rimona said kindly. "I hope your love for each other lasts a long time." "Me too Rimona." Justin said. "Me too." *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* The way you laugh at what I say The way you look at each new day The way your tears fall right on cue That's what I love about you *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* ~FIVE STAR DIVINE HOTEL~ "All right." Serena said now that she was alone in her hotel room. It was the Princess Suite, the best room in the best hotel in Japan. Some thought of it as the *Royal* hotel because everything about it seemed to be fit for royalty. Looking at herself in the mirror, Serena made sure that she looked ok. No one would ever know that she was pregnant because her clothes were loose on her. She smiled at her reflection before waving her hand. A second later she was standing outside a place she never thought she would see again. The Crown Arcade. "Great, of all the places that have ice cream I have to end up at this one." Serena said shaking her head. She knew that it was unlikely that anyone would recognize her. She didn't wear her trademark *odangos*. Her hair came mid-back and her bangs had grown out so that they were just as long as the rest of her hair. She had noticed that when she spoke Japanese before she came back that her accent was more Americanized and awkward because she hadn't spoken it for such a long time. Not only that but she was not the scrawny, klutzy girl that she used to be. She walked with a more dignified air about her. "Well, here goes." Serena said walking in. The first person she noticed when she walked in was Motoki. The blond haired man still looked the same, only older. She sat down in a booth in the corner and picked up the menu. She stared at it. It seemed so foreign to her and it took her moment to remember what the words and symbols said. "What can I get for you today miss?" Serena looked up to see Motoki standing next to the table. She felt her heart stop, skip a beat and then speed up. What if he recognized her? How would she explain herself? How would she explain herself to the others if they found her gone? She hoped that the silver crystal had worked on the memories of the people here. "Miss?" "Oh, um ice cream, extra chocolate, cherries, nuts and whatever else you have to put on it." Serena said awkwardly. "Oh, and in the biggest bowl you have." "You look...familiar," Motoki said. Serena stopped breathing. "Have we met before?" "Uh, no this is my first time here." Serena said. "Oh, well my name is Motoki." "I'm Serena Jeffre." Serena said. She gave him a dazzling smile and held out her hand. He shook it and stared at her. "Sorry, I just had a feeling of deja-vu." Motoki said blushing. "Well, I'll just go and get your ice cream now." Serena watched him amused. The crystal had worked. A few minutes later he returned with her ice cream, loaded with stuff. She looked at it hungrily. She out the first mouthful in her mouth and closed her eyes, savoring the taste. It was so good. She had been craving ice cream for the past week. She opened her eyes to see that Motoki was sitting across from her. She smiled. "Can you eat all of that?" Motoki asked. "Yes." Serena said. Motoki looked at her as if he was trying to remember something. "Well, actually I am eating for two." She said sheepishly. "Oh," Motoki said confused then it dawned on him. "OOOHHH,. Wow, you didn't look like you were... I mean how far along are you?" "Five months." Serena said proudly. "I guess I'm lucky I don't look it." She continued when he started to say something. She noticed that his eyes looked at her hand where her ring was. She smiled when he looked away blushing. "So how long are you staying in Japan?" Motoki asked. "Until the tour is over." Serena said. She stood up having finished her ice cream. "The 98 tour." "Your Justin Jeffre's wife!" Motoki said. "My sister is a big fan...do you think you can get her some..um.." "Sure I can get her tickets." Serena said. "I'll have them sent here." "Thank you." Motoki said. Serena smiled and nodded her head before leaving. She looked around to make sure no one was around and watching before waving her hand and appearing back at her hotel room. A second later the door opened and the others walked in. Michelle grabbed her sister. "Hey, Ser, lets go tour the city!" *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* No body else knows me by heart Takes me where I can reach the stars Makes me believe in love The way you do *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* Luna walked down the streets taking in all the changes of Tokyo since she had left. She was amazed at how much had changed in almost four years. She made her way to a place that brought back memories. Serena's old house. She climbed a tree and watched as a car pulled into the driveway and three people got out. "Shingo, has certainly grown. Ikuko and Kenji still look the same." Luna said to herself. She was deep in thought and didn't notice that someone else was with her. She jumped when she heard a voice. "What are you doing here, Luna?" "Oh, Lance. You startled me." Luna said. She noticed that Hecate and Apollo were with him. "What are you doing here?" "Following you." Lance said. "Now answer my question, what are you doing here?" "This is where Serena used to live." Luna said. "Those are her parents and brother." "That is her Earth family?" Lance said with disgust. "I don't blame her for leaving." "She didn't leave because of them." Luna said. "She loved them. I know she misses them. They've been a big part of her life. She left because of..." "I know what happened." Lance said. "I don't see why she would miss them. She's with her *real* family." "That's not the point." Luna said agitated. "Well, then let's check out this *family* that she left behind." Lance said jumping down from the tree. Luna watched shocked as the young man walked over to the three people. "Hello, my name is Lance." *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* You see in me the man that I can be And I'm thanking you You've given me all I ever need All I wanted, too *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* "Michelle, I really don't feel like going anywhere!" Serena complained. "Besides, Justin told me to stay at the hotel." "He never said that." Michelle said. "He didn't have to!" Serena said. "I know he was thinking it. Do you know how worried he will be when he finds out I'm not there?" "Chill, out, baby sister." Michelle said rolling her eyes. "I left a note, telling him your with us." Serena turned her head and stared out the window. She could not believe she was here, in Tokyo. This was the last place on Earth that she wanted to be. But she couldn't help but wonder how the others were doing. Were they better since she had left? Was Rei a better leader than she was? Was Rei even the leader of the Sailor Senshi, and did they all follow their hearts and become what they always wanted to be? Serena knew that she had, in way. She had starred in a couple movies in the States, she had even recorded a couple of cd's and she was, becoming popular in the music and movie business. She was technically touring with 98 Degrees, she was their opening act, singing with her sister and husband, she knew every dance step to every song and could execute them perfectly without missing a beat. Serena no longer wore the "odangos" that she had cherished so much, her hair now came to mid-back and a braided crown of hair circled her head. "Serena, you're not listening to me." Michelle said. "Sorry, I was thinking." Serena said. "Where are we going anyway?" "Well, I hear that there is a beautiful park here." Michelle said. "I thought it would be fun for Charity." "The Park?" Serena asked. That was not where she wanted to go. There were so many memories she had there. "We also want to check it out for the music video." Celeste said. "I don't know." Serena said. "Do you think that would be a good idea?" *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* I know how blessed I am Girl, you are my best friend *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* Justin walked into his hotel room and immediately noticed that Serena was not there. Looking around frantically and calling her name he noticed a note with his name on it. He recognized it as Michelle's handwriting. He opened it up and read it. Throwing it down he ran out of the room and ran into the others. "Where are you headed in such a hurry?" Jeff asked. "Shouldn't you be with Serena?" Drew asked. "Yeah, you act like your running on fire." Nick added. "I'm going to the park." "The park," Nick said surprised. "why are you going there?" "Maybe, because that, is where my wife is!" Justin said. "Oh." Drew said. "Well, we're coming with you." "Yeah, going to the park will be much more fun than hanging out here." Jeff said. On the way down they bumped into Rimona and Jordan. "Where are you guys going?" Rimona asked as she followed them out. "The park." Justin said. "Michelle is taking Serena there." "Oy, that girl!" Rimona groaned. The park was the last place Serena would want to go. It held so many bad memories for her. Concerned about her friend she jumped in the limo with the guys. Jordan stood on the sidewalk with Cerberus. "I'll stay here." Jordan said. " I have work to do." "Get in the limo Jordan!" Rimona commanded. Jordan complied and got in. He did not want to mess with Rimona when she used that tone of voice. Cerberus got in behind him and Justin told the driver to head to the park. "Why is Michelle taking Serena to the park?" Rimona asked. "Celeste suggested about using it in the music video." Justin said. "I am going to have a talk with Celeste when I see her!" Rimona said puffing a strand of hair from her face. *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* The way you laugh at what I say The way you look at each new day The way your tears fall right on cue That's what I love about you *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* Lance walked out of the house. He had not been overly impressed by the Tsukino family. He did however, realize that they had raised his sister for most of her life. He knew it must have been hard for her to leave. He remembered his own family that had raised him. His life had not been so easy, though he had a loving family, somehow he had kept his memories of the Silver Millennium when he was reborn. He was teased for telling everyone that he was Prince Lancelot from the Moon. "Let's go." Lance said to Hecate and Luna. "Luna, I never want to find you here ever again." "What did you say to them?" Luna asked. "What did you do to them?" "I didn't do anything to them." Lance said. "I searched their minds." "You looked at the memories that Serena had erased?" Hecate asked. "Yes." "What did you learn?" "HECATE!?" "Luna, it can't hurt anything." Hecate said. "It's not like he did anything wrong." "That is not the point." Luna said. "He has no right to do that." Lance ignored them as he continued to walk. He remembered when he had to erase his family's memories. When no one believed that he was a Prince he transformed into his prince form. Everyone had freaked out and started to attack him saying that he was freak. He defended himself by erasing their memories of him. It had been an accident at first but then he realized that if he had not done it then he would never be left alone. Realizing that his family had no memory of him he had no choice but to run away when he was seven. He met up with Jordan, Rimona and Celeste when he was ten. From living on the streets he was tough and since he remembered his old life he acted older than his years. "Relax, Luna I did not do anything to hurt them." Lance said "I knew what I was doing." "What if Serena finds out what you've done!?" Who's going to tell her?" Lance asked. His voice was low and threatening making Luna swallow. He had been somewhat dangerous in the Silver Millennium before he had disappeared. She had last heard that he had been on a corrupt warrior planet trying to convince them to join the Silver Alliance. If it had not been for his bad attitude then he probably never would have had a chance at surviving the planet. Less than an hour after the treaty had been signed the Moon had been attacked by the NegaVerse. Lance and several of the warriors from the planet were on their way to aid the Silver Alliance. But he and the force he gathered had never arrived. Luna wondered what happened to the people of that planet. *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* No body else knows me by heart Takes me where I can reach the stars Makes me believe in love The way you do *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* Celeste felt a tingle go through her body. Shaking her head she looked around. This park was certainly gorgeous. It reminded her of Ethereal. Leisha and Serena stood not too far away from her. She smiled in a fond memory of a life long a ago. A life in the Silver Millennium. She had never known Princess Serenity personally. She had only heard of her and how pure she was. Her blood had been stained from the war of her people. She had grown up among war and devastation. That was all she had known. She wondered what happened to her planet. Was it still there? Did anyone from there still live? "Celeste?" "What?" Celeste asked snapping out of her thoughts. Tranq stood in front of her. "Are you coming with us to check out the park?" "Of course." Celeste said smiling. She loved Tranq like a brother. She understood clearly why Lance had wanted to help save the Moon kingdom. She had fallen in love with him the moment she had set her eyes on him a thousand years ago when he first arrived on her planet. He never knew it. She was too proud to admit it, then and now. "Oh, what a beautiful lake!" Leisha gasped. She stared at the crystal clear water. She would have been concerned about the crowd that had gathered around to watch them. But she knew that they were just curious because of the guards that surrounded them. She glanced at Tranq. He was staring at her with a love struck look on his face. When he saw her look toward him he turned away, blushing. She was just about to say something to him when she heard a scream. Looking past him she saw a youma. Following their orders, the purple and black uniformed guards helped the people out of the park. They all would have rather stayed and fought but the lives of the innocent people were more important than their Princesses and Princes, since they could take care of themselves. SUN CRYSTAL POWER MAKE-UP (Michelle) SUN SOLDIER POWER (Tranq) DELTA POWER MAKE-UP (Leisha) DELTA SOLDIER POWER (Derk) ETHEREAL POWER MAKE-UP (Celeste) Serena pulled out her crystal compact and was about to transform when a hand grabbed her wrist. She looked up and Rimona was shaking her head her. The green haired woman looked mad. Taking the compact out of Serena's hand she nodded for the others who were with her to transform. GRANITE SOLDIER POWER (Nick) ONYX SOLDIER POWER (Drew) QUARTZ SOLDIER POWER (Justin) TOPAZ SOLDIER POWER (Jeff) INFERNAL SOLDIER POWER (Jordan) "You are not allowed to transform and fight as long as you are in the condition you are in." Rimona stated. "You know that and as your sailor I will not allow you to put yourself in harm's way." "But..." Serena started but she didn't get to finish since she was dragged away. This made her very angry but she knew she should never argue with Rimona. Keeping her mouth shut she turned to watch the fight with her friend. She took *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* The way you do The way you do *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* Sailor Sun blew a purple strand of hair out of her face. Of all times and all places there just HAD to be a youma attack at the park. Didn't these stupid things know that they could have seriously hurt her daughter? That thought made Michelle mad. She walked up to the youma and kicked it, yelling obscenities and how much it could have hurt her little girl. She was definatly NOT in the mood to be fighting. Attacking it like that the youma had been taken completely off guard and it stared at the gold and purple clad sailor before it, confused. "Sailor Sun, what are you doing?" Soldier Granite asked. "Teaching this good for nothing creature that calls itself a youma a lesson!" Sailor Sun said giving the youma once last kick before being dragged away by Soldier Delta. "HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?" "Your going to get yourself hurt." Soldier Delta said. "Let's just KILL the thing!" Sailor Ethereal said before anything else could be said. ETHEREAL SHOCKWAVE "I agree." Sailor Delta said. DELTA FIREBALL SOLDIER SUN POWER STRIKE SOLDIER DELTA FIREBALL SOLDIER GRANITE ATTACK SOLDIER ONYX ATTACK SOLDIER QUARTZ ATTACK SOLDIER TOPAZ ATTACK "WHAT THE-" The youma screamed as the attacks flew toward it. It managed to dodge most of them but was still hit. "This is where your supposed to DIE!!" Sailor Sun yelled. SOLAR STRIKE The youma screamed as a very bright light flew towards it. It would have jumped out of the way but it had been blinded by the brightness of the attack. When it was dust Sailor Sun walked over to Serena and took her daughter when her sister held her out to her. "Stupid things." Michelle muttered as she de-transformed. "Well, is the park a good place or what?" Tranq asked as he ran up to them. Everyone else had also de-transformed and walked over to them. "I want everyone to get back to the hotel." Rimona said. She turned to Celeste. "Why did you come here for the video?" *?*?*?*?*?*?*?*?* END OF CHAPTER TWO ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I FINALLY have chapter two done!
