Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon (I wish I did!), nor did I create them!
But, mad props to the people/persons who did!
Otay, so, just read, I don't know how to make a summary! Tell me if u like!
I saw him again. Deep, blue, and mysterious eyes...tousled black hair...that smug, cocky, boyish smile... He was still the boy, no, the man I once knew. Chiba Mamoru. The former Prince Endymion of Earth during the Silver Millennium, Tuxedo Kamen, back in Japan, and in America,Tuxedo Mask. The college man who used to tease me and call me names, like Odango Atama. I smile at this. O, how I miss that nickname, Kami knows how much I hated it. But, my royal two bun hairstyle is no longer up as much these days, and that's not the only thing that's changed about me. Or, so I hope that I've changed. Tsukino Usagi. I was the former crybaby and klutz with the funny, but stylish, odangos on her head. In a former life, I was the Moon Princess, Serenity who was sent to Earth when her kingdom was destroyed during the Silver Millennium. Present day sailor-suited pretty soldier Sailor Moon.or so I was. But that was in my teen days. I'm 22 now, and I actually finished college! Life is pretty normal, a little boring at times, but at least I don't have to spend my time transforming into "The Champion of Love and Justice" anymore. But, sometimes I do miss it. And, them, I miss them also. But, that's why I moved to America, changed my name to Serena. To get away from them for awhile, right? Yea, that's me. To get away from him.....

Mamoru 'Darien Shields' Chiba walked down the streets of New York, pulling his jacket a little closer to him. It was a little too chilly today, considering time was still present during late July, now. Darien didn't mind at all, though, he barely even noticed. He had just witnessed the most extraordinary sight at one of Peggy's art shows. Granted, Peggy is one of the best artists in her time, but it wasn't an art piece he was thinking about right now. It was a girl, no, a woman.
"She was sent from the Gods," whispered Darien as he crossed the street into a humongous building with the name and logo "Shields" displaying over it.
"Hey, Mamoru-san! How's it going?" were the words that rang through Darien's ears as he walked into his office on the top floor of the building, "Oh, sorry, I mean, Mr. Darien Shields."
As Darien looked up after closing his office doors his face brightened up a little, and he asked, "Motoki? Is that really you? How'd you get security to let you in?" he gave Motoki a hug that guys usually give out to display "enough" emotion and heard him reply, "I gave them free tokens to the Crown Arcade."
Darien sat down on one of his leather lounge chairs and gave his friend a somewhat puzzled look. While Motoki sat next to him he said quite amused, "I know what you must be thinking, how can they be of use here? Well, I'll tell you why buddy! It's because they can use them two blocks from here at the very first Crown Restaurant, Café, and Arcade in America!" This statement made Darien a bit surprised. Though, he congratulated Motoki with pure happiness, but he barely showed it with his grin. Motoki knew he was more than he displayed though.
"Really, I am happy for you Motoki... By the way, how's Reika doing?"
Motoki rubbed his chin while smiling and proudly said, "She's due in 4 months now, isn't that great?" A little silence filled the room after his reply, and Motoki heard another "Congratulations, Motoki," from Darien. Then, he casually said with a smile, "Oh, and the name's Andrew, now, well for America, cause, y'know...uh yea....but, if you still wanna call me Motoki, it's ok."
With a small chuckle Darien said, "Well then Andrew, let's have lunch at your new Crown, and I'll tell you all about this lovely golden haired, blue eyed vision of beauty I just saw."
"Sounds like you're either describing Minako or Usa-chan," Andrew now said with laughter.
"Yea.may be."
As they walked to the crown silently Darien thought about their last part of the conversation they just had. The voice of Andrew ringing in his head, "Sounds like you're either describing me, Minako, or Usa-chan." 'Yea, I see her everyday, thought Darien. Usagi....I can still envision your face to this day. I still remember how fragile you felt after all the times you ran into me. I can still remember how you smelt every time I swooped down to save you after throwing my roses.....Usa...Usako, all your smiles, tears, even insults....Princess, teenager, superhero. I can't believe I left....why did you leave? I miss you.how long has it been?' Darien cast a questioning glance to the heavens when they neared closer to the new Crown.

"Since high school, Makoto! I haven't seen you since high school!" exclaimed Serena as she hugged her tall brunette friend, the mistress of planet Jupiter.
"Oh, Usa, it's great to see you again. So, it has been awhile, and you've been here in New York all these years? Show me the guys, girl!" Serena gave a small laugh after this comment. 'Still the same Mako-chan.'
" Usag....no Serena, I forgot in the letters you mention that you changed it to Serena. Well, Serena you can call me by my American name now, Lita."
As Serena's eyes widened a bit, they softened, "Lita. That's nice. But now we have to find a cute little nickname for your new name...uh..Leets!" after this small attempt of desperation Lita laughed out loud a little and agreed to it. Serena nodded agreeing and looked at the huge Crown Center in front of her with pleasure. 'Out of all my greatest dreams,' she thought.
Walking into the Crown, Serena squealed with pleasure, "Oh wow! I never imagined how much I missed this place....uh...not this place exactly but ya...anyways! Leets, when did you get here? Why? HOW?!"
Smiling Lita answered, "Well, Serena, I do have to live at least in the same country my new business is in, don't I?" Serena's eyes widened and she jumped up and down with delight, ready to spring so many questions at her friend, like, why not Andrew, or how in the world did she do this all. But, something attracting caught her eye. A very new Sailor V videogame! Serena looked at her friend with mischief only a child could hold, and Serena was STILL a child at heart.
"Ok, Sere, I'll give you some free tokens, but, only for today." Lita handed Serena some gold and silver tokens and watched her bounce off to the arcade section. Smiling a thought came across to her, "she looks kinda different without her meatballs." Just then a voice from the kitchen came out to her, "Hey, Lita? Ah....a little help here?"
Lita put a smug look on her face and screamed towards the voice of her lifetime friend and now boyfriend, "What's wrong now, Ken? Honestly, I'm not sure a cook was a good choice for a part time job, for a guy like you!" She started to giggle as she heard another scream from Ken, "Ah! I think the French Fries are alive!" As she walked off and disappeared, the jingle of the bells announced that newcomers came at the door. Andrew and Darien walked in, and took a look around.
"An exact replica, but better...Nice, Drew...nice..." Darien said as he sat down on a stool and Andrew walked behind the counter. Darien watched Andrew pouring coffee in a black cup with white lining, and putting it right in front of him. Then, he watched Andrew pull out a white towel with midnight blue lining, and followed his swift movements of wiping the invisible dirt off the counter. He noted, "Exactly like it was yesterday's routine.." and a small smile crept on his lips as he drank the black liquid. Just then, Lita and Ken popped out of the kitchen and gasped.
"Mamoru-san?" both said in unison. "Makoto, Ken? Well, it sure has been awhile.why are you guys here?"
"Well...I....ah..." Lita babbled a bit as she looked into the direction where Serena was at and saw her beating on a videogame machine, "Andrew, did you know that Serena is living here?" at this statement Andrew was joyous and was about to scream out, "that's great," but then remembered something. Darien didn't know, and at that note Ken went back to the kitchen mumbling something about him slacking off way too much. Lita's lip slightly twitched and she announced, after Darien asked who Serena was, "and she's heading towards us right now?" Both men turned at this. Andrew stepped in front of Darien and said, "Serena? You....you look great!"
"M...Mot-"
"No, the name's Andrew," Andrew said cutting Serena off before she even mentioned his Japanese name. He engulfed Serena in a big hug, and said how much he and everyone else missed her.
"Oh, this is such a great day! First, Lita, and now you? This day can't get any better or more surprising! Oh...I also saw.." Serena was unsure to mention 'his' name.
As if on cue Darien had to cut in, "Who's Lita and Serena?" Serena gasped and looked around Andrew, while hugging him still. Which made quite an amusing site, but as soon as she saw the icy blue of Darien's eyes they locked. Chills were felt up both their spines, and Serena wiggled away from Andrew. She took a step towards Darien, and smiled.
Darien looked at the figure in front of him. Golden blonde hair all wrapped up in a bun, light blue eyes shining right back at him, a touch of light make up here and there, and a curvaceous figure in a grey business grey suit with some white tennis shoes on. Darien froze, this was the woman at Peggy's art show.....except she was wearing different clothes, he thought. But she's still beautiful. She held out her hand to him.
"I.....am Serena, nice to meet you, Mr. Shields."
Darien slowly took her hand and felt its warmth instantly. Shaking it ever so slowly, he hesitated on withdrawing away from her gentle touch. It's like she came straight from a dream...or a memory, he thought. Then he said confident and in his usual manner, "I see you already know me, then. Miss Serena, did you happen to be at the artist Peggy's gallery today?" after she gave a small nod, he looked at Andrew and said, "This is the vision of beauty I saw, Andrew." At this comment Serena slowly turned a light shade of pink and turned her head towards Andrew, who in turn, was dying to laugh, and wasn't doing a good job hiding it.
"Well, then, Dare," commented Andrew, "I guess you WERE describing Usa- chan."
Darien listened to Andrew's words and pondered on them silently for seconds. Finally realization hit him right, smack, dab in the middle and Darien felt his face burn a bit.
"O...Odango Atama?" squeaked Darien towards Serena.
Serena flushed a bit with anger and spit out a little bit harsh but jokingly in some way, "Hey, I thought we agreed on never using that name again! Do you see any meatballs on my head? Hmmmm???"
Darien shook his head, "No, but that still doesn't mean you're not meatball head."
"Oh, even in America, Mamoru-baka!"
"What? Even in America you're still this loud?"
Serena gave a little shrug, but still kept her defiant composure. Andrew and Lita almost bursting with laughter interrupted the little reunion.
"I guess....you guys will never change," Andrew said shaking his head, "Well excuse me guys, but I have to get back to my business for awhile."
"Huh? Leets, I thought the Crown was yours?"
"Who's Leets?"
"Leets, is Lita, who in turn is Makoto," answered Serena all- knowingly.
"Oh."
"Well, Lita is my partner, besides Rita, in owning the Crown in America. Reason for this is because I do have to go back to Japan every so often to check on the Crown there that my sister owns, too. Sensible?"
"Yup. Oh, guys, just to make it official.one ice cream sundae with extra fudge please!" requested Serena with a huge smile.
"Haha, you got it Onii-chan."
"Wow, Andrew, it's nice to hear you calling me that again," as Serena said this, a metal tray with everything she remembered in her childhood appeared in front of her, "oh....it's heaven in New York now!"
Darien chuckled as he watched Serena dig in, "No wonder you lost weight, there was no Crown Center around to serve all these sweets to you. I guess that'll change soon."
Serena stopped and looked at Darien, "If I knew you were here in New York I would have been ready to throw an insult at you now, but since I didn't, I will take that as a compliment on my looks."
"But, wasn't it a compliment to begin with, Meatball head?"
"Oh, Mamoru....Darien Shields! How old are we now?" Serena dropped her spoon in record time, satisfied with the desert before a real lunch and announced, "Well, I must be going everyone, I'll stop by later if not every single day I live here. Bye!" and with a wave Serena walked off. Andrew and Lita said goodbye and Darien just watched her walk off. He saw a few guys, a little too many guys, fawning at the new matured, developed Usagi. The feeling he felt towards them was not too kind, but it was nothing to Darien otherwise. He shouldn't care anymore, like before back in Japan, he could have any girl he wanted, right? But, was it still her he wanted? Wait. Did he even want her before? 'May be', he debated to himself, 'this is definitely something to ponder.' Darien recollected himself and slowly stood up and told Andrew and Lita that he'd see them later, and rushed out the Crown.
"Still a lovesick fool for her, isn't he?"
"More than ever now, Lita, let's just hope that he realizes it this time." With that Andrew started wiping the counter and said, "He'd be a fool to let her go now....."
