Slipping back into not updating mode! Panic! I don't own Sailor Moon.

"How have you been?" Serena asked as the two of them walked down the street.

"Fine. Surviving. How about you, Amy & Raye?" Darien asked.

"Well, you've already met Raye & Amy's doing fine." Serena laughed as she thought of her two friends.

"What about Molly?" Darien asked, confused.

"She moved when we turned 8. But we keep in touch, she said she might be moving back here when she turns 14." Serena smiled.

"That's good." Darien smiled back & they fell into silence once more.

Serena sighed, looking into the stars. "Hey, the first star!" she exclaimed, eyes glistening with happiness. "Let's make a wish!" she grabbed Darien's hand & pulled him down the street. Darien laughed, but let himself be pulled.

They arrived at the park & Serena shut her eyes. "Starlight star bright first star I see tonight. I wish I may I wish I might. Have this wish I wish tonight." She shut her eyes harder & wished with all her might that Darien wouldn't leave her again.

When she opened her eyes, she was shocked that Darien's lips were on hers! She backed up, eyes registering shock. "What was that for?" she asked meekly.

Darien smiled down at her. "I love you, Serena. Even though our age difference is major right now, I love you with all my heart." he confessed sincerely.

Serena stared at him, eyes watering. "I love you too, Darien." she finally admitted what she was holding in for a while.

They embraced & looked up at the sky, watching the stars. When people walked back, they thought 'What a cute couple.' or 'Young love is so beautiful.'

Darien looked down to kiss her again when a blast was thrown at them. Clutching onto each other, the two flew backwards, landing hard on the ground.

"Serena, you OK?" Darien asked, eyes filled with concern.

Serena looked up & smiled. "Just fine."

"Good." he smiled back & they stood up, clutching hands.

"What was that?" Serena wondered out loud, looking around.

"Surprised you don't remember!" a evil voice shouted.

The two looked up & watched in shock as a dark hole opened to reveal three people; two men & a woman. The first man had blond hair & blue eyes. He looked about 18. He was as tall as the woman, but shorter than the second man. The second man had brown hair & blue eyes. He looked about 19. He was the tallest. The woman had dark blond hair & brown eyes. She looked about 16 or 17. She was as tall as the blond man, but shorter than the brown haired man. All three of them wore blue jackets with black belts wrapped around it. They wore blue pants that were covered with black knee-high boots.

"Who are you!" Darien shouted, pulling Serena closer to him.

The woman cackled. "How cute. You think you can protect her? Well, we'll see about that!" She created an energy ball & threw it at the couple.

Darien picked Serena up in his arms & dodged the attack. Serena clutched his neck, looking into his eyes, which were hard & emotionless.

"Nice dodge, but try this!" the woman attacked with three consecutive energy balls. Darien dodged two of them, but the third one hit straight on.

"Ow!" he groaned in pain as he fell to the ground. Serena had flown out of his arms & landed on a grassy hill a couple feet back. Looking up, she saw Darien out cold & her eyes filled with tears. "Darien!" she screamed, running to him.

"Not so fast, blondie!" one of the man shouted, throwing an energy ball at her.

As if it were second nature, Serena did a cartwheel & flipped into the air, landing next to Darien!

The three people stared in awe, but Serena didn't waste time. She bent down to Darien & brought him into her lap. "Darien, wake up…You promised you wouldn't leave me…" her tears fell from her eyes, down her cheeks & hit his cheek.

She heard a groan & the eyes widened with hope as she watched Darien's eyes flutter open. "Darien…?" she softly said.

Darien looked up at her, eyes holding hidden pain. "Serena…" he softly murmured her name.

Serena let her tears fall & brought him into a hug. "Shh, it's fine. I'm glad you're fine…" She hugged him as she let her tears fall.

"How sweet. Now back away from him so I can finish him off." the woman ordered.

Serena laid Darien down, bent down to kiss him lightly on the lips & whispered. "Stay here."

Before he could protest, Serena stood up, anger in her eyes. "Why don't you fight me!" she shouted.

The woman laughed. "As if you could hurt me!" she created about 5 energy balls & threw them at the girl, one by one.

Serena dodged all the attacks, but was off balance from dodging them. She began stumbling, trying to right herself.

The woman saw a chance & threw her biggest energy blast at her. Serena looked up in time to see the blast came at her. She shut her eyes & was hit directly by the blast!

Darien, who had gained consciousness, watched in horror as Serena was hit directly & flew backwards. His eyes teared as he tried to get up, but the blast had hit his legs. He groaned in pain, but wouldn't stop. 'Have…to get to…Rena…' he thought, clenching his teeth.

The woman laughed. "That was too easy!" She turned to Darien. "Looks like he won't stay down!" She turned to the man with blond hair. "You want to deal with him, Jadeite?"

The man addressed as Jadeite nodded. "My pleasure, Zoisite." He began to get ready to attack.

Meanwhile, Serena was lying on the grass, trying to catch her breath. "That…bitch!…." Serena gasped out.

"Serena, are you all right!" a voice called out.

"Darien?" she called out, confused. The voice sounded feminine, but who else would be there with her?

To her shock, her black cat with red eyes appeared. "Luna!" she sputtered out.

Luna nodded. "Serena, you have to get up!"

Serena's eyes widened in shock. "Wait, you talk!" she shouted, mouth dropped open.

Luna nodded. "I do. And it's time."

Serena blinked. "Time for what?" she asked, still in shock.

"Time to remember…" Luna closed her eyes & a gold crescent moon appeared on her forehead. Before Serena could say anything, the crescent moon glowed & hit her forehead. Memories of transforming at age 6 came back. The future Sailor Moon & Tuxedo Mask, the monster attacking her family, the princess.

Serena finally gasped. Luna looked at her, "Serena?" she asked, warily.

Serena looked down at Luna, eyes glistening. "I remember. And I know what I have to do." She stood up, eyes determined.

Luna nodded & leaped into the air. The familiar brooch appeared & fell into Serena's hand. Serena nodded.

She held her hand up in the air, & it began to glow. She spun around as different parts of her fuku (suit) took shape. She spun again & her head jewelry came on. She smiled, held her hands up, & then formed her final stance.

"Get ready to die boy!" Jadeite shouted, energy ball in the air.

"Not so fast, Negatrash!" a voice rang out.

The three people turned to see who shouted that. "It can't be…" Jadeite's eyes widened.

Zoisite groaned. "What did I tell you guys! Now she's realized her powers!" she shouted.

"Calm down, Zoisite." the brown haired man spoke finally.

"How can we be calm, Nephrite? She's realized her powers!" Zoisite shouted at the man.

Nephrite smirked. "But she's alone. No other Sailor brats. We can take her on."

Awe dawning on her, Zoisite smirked. "You're right. Let's go!" The three turned back to the girl standing in front of them.

Darien stared at this girl. She had her blond hair in two pigtails with red orbs on both of them. She had a gold tiara with a pink oval in the middle. She had on gold star & moon earrings & a red choker. Her collar was done "sailor" style with two white stripes. She was wearing a white leotard with a large red bow in the front that has a pink circle in the middle. The sleeves were short and split into three bubbly sections. The skirt is short (about mid-thigh), blue and pleated with a white bubbly edge on the top. There was a large red bow in the back. The gloves were elbow length and are white with red cuffs. She had on red boots that are a little below knee length, with white trimmings on top.

The girl looked at him & he gasped. 'It couldn't be…' his mind told him, but the blue eyes registered familiarity & he couldn't fight it. 'Serena?' he thought, eyes widening.

The girl looked back up at the three people & shouted. "For love and justice, the sailor suited beautiful girl fighter! Sailor Moon!"

Zoisite cackled. "How pathetic! Do you think you can beat all three of us?"

Sailor Moon narrowed her eyes. "I can hold you off, but no I don't think I can beat all three of you at once." she admitted.

This admission shocked the three. Sailor Moon used this moment to leap into the air, do a forward flip and attempt to kick one of them in the face. The aim was not on target, she missed and, "OUCH!" she landed on her butt.

Zoisite attacks while Moon was down. Fortunately for her Zoisite was laughing so hard that she missed her attack.

"Zoisite, focus!" Nephrite shouted. Turning, he powered up for another attack. "I can take care of this! Go back & tell Beryl she's done."

Jadeite & Zoisite nodded. The black hole came back & they disappeared into the hole. Now all that was left was Nephrite. He threw the energy ball & hits Sailor Moon dead on.

She screams in pain, causing Darien to shut his eyes, as if he was feeling her pain. 'I have to help.' he thought. 'But how can I help her?' he thought.

Luna sensed something & ran up to him. "Darien?" she asked, shocking the boy.

"You talk!" he gasped out, staring at her. "Wait, aren't you that kitten we found a while back?"

Luna nodded. "One & the same. Do you want to help Sailor Moon?"

He nodded, determined. Luna nodded. "OK." She shut her eyes & the crescent moon glowed again. It hit him in the forehead & he remembered everything (that happened earlier in this story).

Finishing, he gasped. He looked down at Luna & nodded. "I'm ready."

He held up a rose. The body of Tuxedo Mask appears to shade out as his outfit is displayed. He threw his top hat & extended his arm. The top hat sat on his head, & a rose appeared in the background.

Back at the battle, Moon was down from the attack. Nephrite laughed. "This should finish you off!"

Suddenly, a red rose comes flying in from nowhere hitting Nephrite in the hand stopping his attack.

Nephrite shouted in anger, "Who threw that?"

Tuxedo Mask appears and said, "A rose is just as beautiful as world peace. The world has no place for evil."

Nephrite powered up and attacked Tuxedo Mask. Tuxedo Mask easily dodged the attack.

Sailor Moon stared at the fight, shocked that Mask came back. 'I can't believe he wanted to give up his life for me…' she thought, eyes shining with tears.

Luna ran up to her. "Sailor Moon, attack!"

Moon nodded. "OK, Luna."

While Tuxedo Mask distracted Nephrite, Moon grabbed hold of her tiara & it began to glow. She spun around with it a few times as it gathered energy. She then held it back, shouted out "Moon Tiara Magic!" & threw it towards Nephrite.

Nephrite sees the tiara coming however it is too late to dodge. Her tiara hits Nephrite squarely in the chest.

Tuxedo Mask lands next to Sailor Moon & brought her into his arms. "I was worried…" he whispered.

"So was I…" She whispered back, stealing a kiss. As the smoke cleared, they looked for some sort of debris that Nephrite was gone.

"Caught me off guard, was all!" a voice shouted. The two super heroes looked up to see Nephrite floating, nursing his chest. "I'll be back!" He disappeared into the black hole.

The two watched him go, then sighed. "Well, there's goes my normal life…" Moon muttered.

"Look on the bright side. At least it isn't boring…" Mask teased as he kissed the top of her head.

"I guess so…" Moon smiled as she leaned onto Mask. They watched the sky in silence.

Voila! They got their memories back. But what about the others? Please RR
