AN: This is set at the beginning of season 2, after the battle against the Negaverse. I know Rini doesn't appear yet in the show, but I love her; she's so cute. So she's in it! So lets just pretend that she came in the show BEFORE the fight. Ok? Ok. Also, this is important. I'm SERENA+ DARIEN all the way so don't get any ideas. Tux is just being a good friend. (You'll see what I mean)

Serena jumped out of bed and hurried to get ready. Running down the stairs in a record time. She rushed down the street towards her school. She was almost there when she bumped into someone.

Serena felt herself falling backwards, but then two strong, masculine arms surrounded her waist, steadying her. Serena looked up at the man and smiled.

" Thank you," she whispered, mesmerized by his cobalt blue eyes and handsome features. He had jet-black hair and looked around 22.

" Serena?" the man asked, as if he knew her.

" I'm so glad to see you! I've been so worried about you. I haven't seen you since the battle with Beryl…" Darien was caught off by look Serena gave him.

Serena pulled away, out of his grasp, suddenly a little nervous. Who was this man? Did she know him? If she did, then why did she have no memory of him?

" I… don't know what you're talking about. I've never seen you before."

Darien chuckled. " I'm sorry Meatball head. I should have called you that night, after the battle. But you don't have to lie."

Serena frowned. " I'm not making up stories. I honestly don't remember you."

Darien's smile faded. His eyes searching hers, she was serious. Darien's heart nearly stopped. She didn't remember him? Why was she saying this? Could it possibly be true? Had something happened to her memory? He had to test it.

" So… are you and the girls hanging out at the arcade later, like usual?" he asked casually.

Serena shook her head. Girls? Did she have friends? Arcade? What arcade?

" I…I, uh, have to go. I'm really late for school," she turned and starting walking away, then paused. She turned back around, feeling some connection with this stranger.

" I'm sorry. But I'm not who you think I am. I'm just a plain girl trying to get to school on time. Which I failed to do." She chuckled and continued walking away.

Darien just stood there. His Serena didn't remember him? How was that possible? He'd left right after the battle, and she'd been fine then, just tired. Had she lost her memory because of all the power she gave into the battle?

Darien sighed as he felt a tear roll down his cheek. Maybe it was only temporarily. But right now, she didn't remember him. Them. Darien needed to find the girls and talk with them. Knowing they'd all be in school by now, he followed Serena.

As Darien followed Serena, from a distance, he thought about her and what she'd said. I'm just a plain girl. But she wasn't. Not in the least bit. She was Sailor Moon, champion of justice; she was Princess Serenity, his princess, future wife and mother to his child.

What about Rini, their daughter from the future? Would she be taken back to the future? Oh how he didn't want that. What would become of her if Serena had, in fact, lost her memory?

Darien sighed and then noticed that he was standing just outside the school. He looked at his watch; it was well after 9am, the time that school started for her and her friends.

He needed to talk to the girls. But how could he get them to be excused from class long enough to talk with him? He needed to talk to them right away, his heart couldn't stand not knowing the truth about Serena until the end of the day.

He knew that the principal wouldn't let them out of class, unless it was an emergency. Then a brilliant plan hit him. He walked down the street and into a dark alleyway, where he transformed into Tuxedo Mask.

He then quickly left the alleyway and walked back to the school. Surely the principal wouldn't refuse him seeing the girls, if he was Tuxedo Mask. Thinking this was a very funny situation; he laughed, then remembered Serena and frowned. Maybe there was some way to bring back her memory. Maybe him and the scouts could come up with a plan.

Tuxedo Mask jumped into the tall tree next to the principal's open window and then jumped into the building. He stared at the principal who looked like he had just had a heart attack. Tuxedo Mask gracefully bowed his head.

" You don't mind me taking a few of your students out for a while, do you? There is a major problem concerning one of their closest friends. She could be in some major trouble. If I plan to solve the problem I need to know the details, and this cant wait," he said in his husky, disguised voice.

The principal shook his head, still shocked. " Of course you may. Take as long as you like with them. This is such an honor, Tuxedo Mask."

Tuxedo Mask bowed his head once again. " I need to see, Amy Anderson, Raye Hino, Lita Kino, and Mina Aino."

The principal nodded and then typed something into his computer before writing down their classes they were presently in. He handed the piece of paper to Tuxedo Mask. Tuxedo Mask took it readily and then left.

AN: Hope you liked it so far. What I was talking about before only comes up in the next chappie. Yes, it is already written. Please review and I'll post it soon.
