Scene 1

(Rini was getting ready for school. Serena wasn’t really in the mood so she decided to stay home. She thought that maybe she will do some research on the enemy. Rini finished getting ready and went to Serena, who was still lying in bed.)

Rini: “I’m going to go now.”

Serena: “Okay Rini. Have a good day.”

Rini: “Okay…Serena?”

Serena: “Yea?”

Rini: “Will you be okay? I can skip school if you want and keep you company.”

Serena: “No, Rini, it’s okay. Go on ahead. Have fun. I’ll be okay.”

(Rini looked at Serena with a worried look but Serena just smiled)

Serena: “I promise.”

(Rini smiled and ran to her and hugged her really hard. Serena hugged her back and smiled )

Rini: “I love you Serena.”

Serena: “I love you too Rini. Now go on or you’re going to be late.”

(Rini let go and walked out towards the door. She turned back and waved at Serena with a smile)

Rini: “I’ll see you later.”

Serena: “Later Rini.”

(Rini walked out of the door. Serena stood up. She walked over to her closet. She stood there and just stared at her clothes. She suddenly began to cry.)

Serena: “How did all of this happen? What went wrong? Is this punishment for not doing well in school? Rei, Ami, you left me all alone, and now Darien is gone too. Am I just going to end up being lonely?”

(A voice spoke)

Voice: “You’re not alone Serena, you never will be.”

(She turned to see who it was. to her surprise it was Lina and Artemis)

Serena: “Lina, I didn’t hear you come in.”

(Serena wiped her tears away, and forced a smile. Lina and Artemis looked at her with sympathy)

Serena: “I was just about to go out for a bit. You’re not going to school?”

Lina: “Nah. I thought that maybe I could spend the day with you. I figured you weren’t going to school.”

(Serena forced out a giggle with tears in her eyes)

Serena: “I’ve always been so predictable haven’t I?”

(Serena’s smile vanishes and her tears start to roll down her cheeks. She tries wiping them away but more keep coming. She forces smiles.)

Lina: “Serena…”

Serena: “I’m fine…I really am…I have Rini with me…and right now I still think of her as my own daughter…I mean things happen for a reason…maybe this is a good thing…I’m not fitted to be Princess or Queen anyways…”

(Serena fell on her knees and began to cry hard. Lina rushed to her and hugged her.)

Lina: “Serena…don’t say that. You still are Princess Serenity. No one will ever take that away from you.”

Artemis: “That’s right Serena. You still are the Princess of the Moon Kingdom.”

(Serena stopped crying. She wiped away her tears and looked up at Lina and Artemis. They both smiled at her.)

Lina: “And we’ll always be here for you, all of us Sailor Scouts. No matter what happens, we will always be by your side.”

(Serena smiled at them)

Serena: “Thank you guys.”

scene 2

(Melody was in school. The teacher was calling role.)

Teacher: “Serena?..Serena?...oh,she’s not here today.”

(Melody looked over at the empty seat that Serena should have been in.)

Melody: “Serena…Sailor Moon…Princess Serenity…”

(the teacher interrupted her train of thought)

Teacher: “Melody?”

Melody: “Yes?”

Teacher: “Would you please read the next paragraph?”

(Melody stood up straight)

Melody: “Yes ma’am.”

(Melody began to read)

Scene3

(Serena, Lina, and Artemis were all walking through the streets of Tokyo.)

Lina: “So, you think that Melody is the one Darien is in love with?”

Serena: “Yes.”

Lina: “But they just met like a month ago. How could he be in love with her already?”

Serena: “It’s destiny…I guess.”

Lina: “Serena…’

Serena: “But it’s okay…she’s a really nice, sweet, caring girl.”

Lina: “Serena, you don’t have to pretend it doesn’t hurt.”

(Serena stopped and looked down.)

Serena: “I know…”

(a tear ran down her cheek)

Serena: “The truth is…that it does hurt…a lot…but…maybe if I pretend that’s its okay…I will be able to fool myself also…and besides…I just want Darien to be happy…because that is all that matters.”

(Lina stood there watching her cry. She didn’t; know what else to do or say to make her feel better. Serena wiped away her tears and turned to look at Lina. She forced another smile)

Serena: “But, now isn’t the time to cry. We need to find out where the enemy is and how to get Rei and Ami back.”

(Lina smiled at her)

Lina: “Okay.”

Scene 4

(Melody was walking back home.)

Melody: “What a day…I wonder if Serena’s ok. Now I understand how hard things are going for her. Maybe I should go and talk to her…it’s not fair that I know her secret and she doesn’t know mine…but I can’t tell her now…”

(Suddenly, she hears a male’s voice call out to her)

Male: “Melody!”

(She turns to see who it was. to her surprise it was Darien. She was happy to see him. She smiled)

Melody: “Hello Darien.”

(Darien blushed and smiled at her)

Darien: “Are you headed home?”

Melody: “Yes.”

Darien: “How about we get something to eat first? Are you hungry?”

(Melody smiled)

Melody: “Definitely”

Darien: “Alright. Let’s go.”

(Darien and Melody began walking)

Darien: “So, how have you been?”

Melody: “I’ve been good.”

Darien: “Have you been taking care of yourself like the doctor said?”

Melody: “Of course.”

Darien: “That’s good…and are you enjoying your stay so far?”

Melody: “Yes. I love it here. It’s so nice, and the people are so loving. I feel so welcomed here.”

Darien: “Good…erm…any luck with finding who you are searching for?”

(Melody smiled and looked ahead)

Melody: “I feel like I’m getting closer. I can feel it.”

(Darien looks at the ground.)

Darien: “That’s uhm good…I hope you find him soon.”

Melody: “Thank you…how are you and Serena? She wasn’t in school today.”

Darien: “Oh…really?”

Melody: “Yea…I thought that she would be late but she never showed up.”

Darien: “Melody, there’s something you need to know.”

(Melody stopped walking and looked at him)

Melody: “What is it Darien?”

Darien: “Well…Serena and I…aren’t together anymore…we broke up…”

(Melody looked surprised.)

Melody: “Why?”

Darien: “It’s just not the same anymore, things change…I’m also a bit confused.”

Melody: “Confused? About what?”

Darien: “I think I may have fallen for someone else…”

Melody: “No…no…that can’t be right…Serena loves you…you love her…you two are destined to be.”

(Darien was a bit confused)

Darien: “What do you mean we’re destined to be?”

(Melody hesitated)

Melody: “Well yeah…uhm you two look so happy together…uhm…”

(Melody looked at the floor)

Melody: “Uhm…I have to go…”

(Melody turned around and began to run away. Darien chased after her)

Darien: “Melody! Wait!”

(Melody ran into an ally and hid. Darien lost sight of her. He stopped and gave up)

Scene 5

(Serena and Lina were walking home. Suddenly Serena spots Melody walking on her own with her head down. Serena stopped. Lina stopped and looked at Serena then at Melody. Melody looked up and saw Serena.)

Lina: “Come on Serena, let’s go the other way.”

(Lina pulled on Serena’s shoulder)

Serena: “No…it’s okay.”

(Melody smiled at Serena and walked over to her)

Melody: “Hey Serena.”

(Serena smiled back. Lina was surprised at Serena’s reaction. She thought Serena would be mad. Lina felt mad, because she knew that Melody was the one that Darien traded Serena for. She was furious that she even had the guts to talk to Serena. Melody then looked at Lina and smiled.)

Melody: “Hello.”

(Lina didn’t reply and turned away.)

Serena: “Where are you going?”

Melody: “Uhm…I don’t really know actually…hmm would you like to take a walk with me? There’s something I want to talk to you about.”

(Serena’s heart skipped a beat. She had an idea of maybe what she wanted to talk about. Lina suddenly interrupted)

Lina: “Actually, we were just going home..”

(Serena then interrupted her)

Serena: “It’s okay Lina. I’ll take a walk with Melody. Don’t worry.”

Lina: “But Serena…”

Serena: “I’ll be okay. I promise. You can go home and rest. We can’t skip school tomorrow.”

(Serena smiled at Lina. Lina stood there with a shocked expression)

Lina: “Okay…take care Serena.”

(Serena smiled)

Serena: “I will”

(Lina looked at Melody. Melody smiled. Lina turned away and began to walk.)

Scene 6

(Darien was walking back home. He hung his head in embarrassment)

Darien:”I don’t understand…why did Melody leave so suddenly…does she know that I may have feelings for her? Is that why she was surprised? Is she afraid that Serena might get mad at her? Does she maybe feel the same way about me? Geez Darien, you really are a heartbreaker…what am I going to do now?”

(Suddenly Darien felt a bad vibe. He stopped and heard a voice calling out to him)

Voice: “Prince Darien…”

(Darien turned around looking for the voice)

Darien: “Who are you?”

Voice: “Darien…you must not abandon your kingdom. You cannot abandon your princess and daughter.”

Darien: “I am not abandoning my kingdom…I’m just confused.”

Voice: “You are not confused. You’re heart is set on only one person, the woman that captured your eye the moment you met. Your heart already chose its destiny long ago. Remember the Moon Kingdom.”

(At that moment Darien was transferred back in time to the Moon Palace where he first met Serena.)

Darien: “What is this?”

Voice: “Remember Darien, the night you met your princess.”

(Darien began to see the scene where he first met Princess Serenity)

Darien: “I remember.”

(as he kept watching the scene, he smiled. The scene suddenly changed to the time when he first met Serena on earth.)

Voice: “This is when you first met Serena here on earth after you all lost your memories of the Moon Kingdom. Do you remember how you two met?”

(Darien watched the scene. He saw himself walking down the street. He looked across the street and saw Serena walking with Molly. He stopped and stared)

Darien: “Of course. I remember seeing her for the first time. It was a day before I actually talked to her.”

Voice: “Remember how you felt when you first saw her?”

(Darien smiled)

Darien: “Yes…I felt this warmth when I saw her smile. I thought she was a silly girl.”

(the scene then changed to the time Serena saved him from Queen Beryl. It then changed to the time she saved him from the Doom Tree, from Fiore and from Neherenia and Galaxia. Darien began to recall those moments)

Darien: ‘All of these times…she saved me…she risked her life for me.”

Voice: “You also saved her.”

(The scene then changed the times Darien saved her. The time when he went in front of her to protect her from Queen Beryl’s crystal, the time when he stood in front of her to protect her from Fiore killing her, and the times he stood by her to fight.)

Voice: “Why did you save her Darien?”

(Darien kept looking at the scenes in awe. He then lowered his head)

Darien: “Because she is the most important person to me…she saved me from my loneliness.”

Voice: “Look, Darien.”

(Darien looked up. There was a scene of him, Serena, and Rini together. They were smiling and looked happy. All of the Sailor Scouts were behind them smiling too; Darien began to get teary eyed)

Voice: “Are you sure you want to give that up?”

(Darien looked down and a tear ran down his cheek)

Darien: “I don’t know…I’m still confused…”

Voice: “Think about it Darien…make your decision before it’s too late.”

(all of a sudden everything went back to normal. Darien looked around and was back on the streets of Tokyo.)

Darien: “Who was that?”

(Suddenly a vision came through his mind. it was Sailor Moon and Sailor Harmony trapped in a crystal. He suddenly started to run)

Darien: “Serena is in danger…I have to find her.”

(Darien was running looking for Serena.)

Scene 7

(Lina and Artemis were walking through park. It was getting dark.)

Lina: “I don’t like Melody at all.”

Artemis: “Yes, I noticed by the way you looked at her.”

Lina: “Well, if she is the one that Darien is in love with now…that means she is the one who is going to become Neo Queen of Tokyo.”

Artemis: “Yes that is true, but we need to accept it.”

Lina: “How can we accept it when she is the one taking Serena’s place?”

Artemis: “But this isn’t about Serena, it’s about the future of this planet. How do you think Serena will feel if we don’t save this planet?”

(Lina lowered her head)

Lina: “I guess you’re right.”

(Artemis smiled)

Artemis: “Of course I am.”
(Lina looked up at Artemis and smiled. Suddenly she heard a familiar woman’s voice.)

Voice: “Long time no see Lina.”

(Lina looked around)

Lina: “Who is it? This voice sounds familiar.”

(Artemis and Lina looked around. Suddenly Amy appeared.)

Lina: “Amy!”

Artemis: “Be careful Lina! It may be a trap.”

(Amy smiled at Artemis)

Amy: “Hello Artemis.”

(Lina ran over to Amy)

Lina: “Amy! You’re back!”

(Artemis ran in front of her)

Artemis: “No Lina!”

(Amy evilly smiled and attacked Lina with a shock but it hit Artemis instead. Lina stopped and ran over to Artemis who was lying still on the ground.)

Lina: “Artemis!”

(Lina picked up Artemis)

Lina: “Artemis! Are you alright?”

(Artemis weakly replied)

Artemis: “Y-yes. Lina transform!”

Lina: “Right!”

(Lina put Artemis down)

Lina: “VENUS CRYSTAL POWER!”

(Lina transformed into Sailor Venus.)

Sailor Venus: “Amy! It’s me!”

(Amy evilly smiled and attacked her again. Sailor Venus dodged it.)

Sailor Venus: “VENUS…LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!”

(Sailor Venus attacked but Amy dodged it and sent it back. It hit Sailor Venus. Sailor Venus fell to the ground)

Artemis: “SAILOR VENUS!”

(Sailor Venus was on the ground. She began to weakly stand up. Amy shocked Sailor Venus)

(Melody looked at Serena)

Melody: “Right…uhm it’s about Darien.”

(Serena lowered her head)

Serena: “Oh…”

Melody: “You love him don’t you?”

(Serena looked surprised and looked at her.)

Serena: “Uhm…I’m not really sure…”

Melody: “What do you mean? What happened?”

Serena: “Melody, I don’t mean to be rude, but I really don’t think that—“

Sailor Mini Moon: “They’re after you and Sailor Harmony!”

Serena: “What are you saying?”

(Suddenly Ryo appears in the sky)

Ryo: “Well well well. I see the little brat saw our plan.”

(Everyone turned and looked at Ryo)

Serena: “What do you want?”

(Lucifa then appeared beside Ryo)

Lucifa: “Didn’t you hear the little pest? We’re after you, my dear.”

(All of the Sailor Scouts stood in front of Serena.)

Sailor Jupiter: “We will never let you take her”

Sailor Mini Moon: “That’s right. You have to go through us first.”

(Melody stood there watching. Serena began to think)

Serena: “I can’t transform in front of Melody or she will find out I’m Sailor Moon.”

Lucifa: “Alright little brat. Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, finish them.”

(Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury appeared.)

Ryo: “Good bye Sailor Brats.”

(Ryo and Lucifa disappeared)

Darien: “Melody! You have to get out of here!”

(Melody looked at Darien)

Melody: “Ah uhm okay. I can’t help them…not now…”

(Melody began to turn away when Sailor Mercury was about to attack her. When Sailor Mini Moon saw this she ran over to Melody.)

(Melody was crying. Serena looked at them.)

Melody: “Serena, she won’t wake up.”

(Serena began to get teary eyed. She then looked over at Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury.)

Serena: “Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, why are you doing this? Sailor Mini Moon is your friend.”

Sailor Mars: “She is not our friend.”

(Serena began to cry)

Serena: “Please, don’t do this.”

Sailor Mercury: “Does it hurt?”

Serena: “Huh?”

(Sailor Mars evilly smiled.)

Sailor Neptune: “Don’t defend her!”

Sailor Jupiter: “Darien, they took Sailor Mini Moon!”

(Serena was looking over at Darien and Melody. Melody was in tears and Darien was holding her)

Serena: “This is the future. Even if Melody doesn’t know that she is going to be the future Neo Queen of Tokyo, she tried to act against our enemies.”

(Serena then remembered how Sailor Mini Moon defended Melody when Sailor Mercury attacked which caused her to get hurt instead. She then remembered how Melody began to cry.)

Serena: “Without knowing she cried for Sailor Mini Moon. It was already her instinct.”

Sailor Pluto: “Saturn is right.”

Serena: “Melody…”
