So like when we last left off, Serena or under her
knew name Serea had fainted dead away. She had felt some
evil presence, but wasn't quite sure where it had come from,
and none of her companions had picked up on it. So now
you're asking yourself what is going to happen this time,
well at least I hope you're wondering what is going to
happen this time, but I'm not going to tell you in this
commentary. If you do want to know what happened you're just
going to have to read the story, so ha.

          Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon it is own by
someone else, if you want to know who owns read the
disclaimer of one of my other stories. Also the Knights of
Selene belong to Lady, who wrote Soul Mates which you should
really read. Tranquillity and Terra comes from a bunch of
different stuff I've read so I can't tell you where they
originally came from, and Charity is someone I created. I
don't feel like typing the person's name today. If you
couldn't already tell I'm in a really weird mood today.

          I really hope you enjoy my story, and if you
don't, well fui on you. Please, e-mail me with your comments
at serena84@hotmail.com. You can e-mail me to tell me you
like the story, or that you don't, but please don't tell me
I'm the worst writer in the world, cause I'll end up crying
for hours. Waaah! I'm over it now.

          Below the stars and curvy line is the story.

          New Beginnings
               Part 3: Past Meets Present
                    By Sailor Catrina

          "Serenity," a soft melodious called out. "Princess
Serenity, you must reunite with The Knights of Selene. With
out them you will not be able to defeat Mischief and her
army."

          Serena turned in circles. She was in the midst of
a very dense fog. She kept trying to figure out where the
voice was coming from, since she couldn't see the owner, but
to no avail. "Who are you, or should I say where are you?"

          The fog began to lift, and Serena found herself
standing in a meadow, flowers all around her, and a lake
just a few feet away. Serena looked down at herself to find
that she was in her princess dress. "Serenity it's me Pluto,
and I'm standing behind you."

          Serena turned around to see the Guardian of time
standing behind her, in her sailor uniform, except her staff
was missing. "Setsuna," Serena said happily, throwing
herself into the older girl's arms. "I haven't seen you in
awhile. If I remember correctly you had to leave us to guard
the Gate of Time."

          "Yes, I did," Setsuna said sitting pulling the
younger girl down with her to sit next to the lake. "After
you left Tokyo though, I had to join the others to help
fight against Mischief and her minions. Then I tried to
return a couple of days ago, but I wasn't able to. When I
had Michiru look into it with her mirror she wasn't able to
see anything.

          "This morning Reeny showed up from the future and
told us what was going on. It seems when I joined the rest
of the scouts, after you left; time reached this type of
median I guess you could say, or a stopping point. Reeny
can't go back to the future now that she has come back, and
I can't return to the Time Gate. At least that's what she
told everyone else.

          "She told me, that she was told by her mother to
only tell me, but I think it would be okay to tell you, that
the only way I would be able to return to the Time Gate is
when you rejoin us," Setsuna said finishing her story in one
breath.

          "Well then we have a problem, because I'm not
rejoining you guys," Serena said looking Setsuna in the
eyes. "I don't have a problem with you, or the outers, or
even Reeny. It's everyone else that I have a problem with.
They hurt me to bad, last time I was with them, and I'm sure
you already know what happened between all of us.

          "I might return one day, but it would never be as
the same person," Sere looked down into the lake. "I'm sorry
that Reeny won't be able to return to the future, and I'm
even sorrier that you won't be able to return to the Time
Gate, but I just can't deal with them right now."

          "Listen I can't stay here much longer," Setsuna
said standing. "It took a lot of my powers to enter your
thoughts as it is. I won't tell anyone where you are, but
you must find the Knights of Selene, and when you do
everything will become clear."

          Serena stood as the mist began to appear again.
"You where the evil presence I felt. You made me feel an
evil presence, because you knew my mind defenses would be at
a low. When I fell unconscious it was because you were
entering my thought paths," Serena said, everything making
some sort of sense. Setsuna nodded as she began to
disappear. "How will I find the knights?"

          "The knights will find you," Setsuna said fading
away, "as well as a few other friends from your past."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*~*~*~*~*

          Jake sat beside Sere's bed, waiting for to gain
consciousness. The others had yet to return home from the
party, which was understandable. Terra and Zack had to wait
for all the guests to leave. Then Terra had to pay all the
escorts and models, as well as getting the outfits back from
the models, and making sure they got back to Millennium.

          Nate, had to clean up all the food, and make sure
everything in the ballroom was put back to normal. Matthew
had to do everything else. He had to pay the owner of the
building for letting them use the room. Then he had to make
sure all the security equipment was cleaned up and loaded up
in the vans to be taken back to the company tomorrow. `They
should be back with in the hour' Jake thought stretching.

          "Find Knights of Selene," Sere spoke in her sleep.

          Jake shaked Sere's body, trying to awaking her,
"Sere wake up, come on Sere."

          Sere fluttered her eyes open and starred up at
Jake's concerned face. "Jake, where am I?"

          "I transported you home Sere," Jake said sitting
back and yawning. "You fainted and I had Terra pretend to be
you so I could get you out of there. You've been out for the
least three hours. What happened?"

          "It was Pluto," Sere said sitting up slowly. "She
had to make me feel the evil presence so she could get into
my mind to talk to me. She said something about finding the
Knights of Selene, and everything becoming clear."

          Jake squinted his eyes in concentration, "Knights
of Selene how are we supposed to find them. I mean Pluto
told us what it took Luna to find you guys, but she had a
link to you. We were able to find you, because Pluto told us
where to go. How are we supposed to find them? The only
person who was able to establish a link with them was your
brother Tranquillity."

          "Before she left," she said trying to recall her
and Pluto's conversation. "Pluto said that we didn't have to
find them. That they would find us, and when they found us
someone else from our past would appear as well."

          "You've got me majorly confused," he said taking a
deep breath. "I think that it would be best if you got some
rest, and when everyone else gets back I'll let them know
you are okay, and that we will talk in the morning before
anyone goes to work."

          "Thanks, Jake," Sere said getting up so she could
change out of her dress and into something more comfortable.
Jake stood and walked out of the room as Sere opened her
closet. "See you in the morning."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*IN THE
MORNING~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

          "And when the Knights find us," Sere finished,
"someone else from our past will appear as well, and then
she was gone. She said she wouldn't tell anyone where we
were."

          "So we need to be on the watch out for the
Knights," Matthew said. "Did she say when they might
appear?"

          "No, but if we don't hurry up here, I'm going to
be late for a staff meeting, and a million other
appointments," she said picking up her portfolio filled with
all the new designs she had come up with in the last couple
of days. "It might be a good idea for us to meet at StarDust
for lunch, so we have more of a chance to talk about what we
should do next."

          "Good idea Sere," Terra said standing up. "I have
to meet with a new photographer this morning. Then I have to
be at a photo shoot. So if you don't mind Serea and me will
be going. We'll meet you at the restaurant at 1:00," and the
two girls where gone.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~AT
MILLENNIUM*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

          "Okay, so you all know the new designs," Sere said
standing from her seat at the head of the table. "I want to
see fabrics on my desk at the end of the week, and in
another two weeks I want to see at least one copy of each
outfit. So that's it for now. I want to see you all in here
again Wednesday at 10 sharp. You're dismissed."

          Serea waited until they all had left before she
walked through a different door to her connecting office.
She had another 10 minutes before her next appointment. Just
enough time to get a cup of coffee and check to see what the
newspapers said about the party last night. She sat behind
her great oak desk and flipped to the article about her
designs. As she skimmed through them she found no bad
comments, only encouraging things about her line of
Millennium.

          `Bzzz'

          Serea hit a button beside the phone on her desk,
"Yes."

          "Ms. Serea," her secretary said. "Your 11:00
o'clock appointment is here."

          "Thank you Carry," she said folding the newspaper,
and trying to organize her desktop a little. "You can show
her in."

          Serea was still trying to straighten when a girl
who looked about 15 walked through the door. She had long
blonde hair, about the same length as Serea's. Here eyes
where a crystal blue. She wore a long green plaid cargo
skirt that had a slit in the front that went to the top of
her knees. She wore a dark green shirt the sleeves reached
her elbow and on the right sleeve was a pocket with a neon
green butterfly sown on. On her feet where dark brown
sandals.

          As she walked further in, another person came in
behind her. He looked like her older brother. He had short
blonde hair almost identical to Jake's, and his eyes were a
deep green. He looked to be a year older then the young
lady. He wore a black suit with a white shirt underneath.

          She stood up from behind her desk and walked
around it to greet them. "Hi, I'm Serea Fisher, owner of
Millennium," she said extending her hand out in greeting.
"You must be Sara Stanson, and I'm sorry I don't know your
name."

          "I'm her older brother Jason," he said extending
his hand. "I came along with her to see what your company
was all about."

          "I see," Sere said walking back around her desk.
"Please sit. I don't want to sound rood, but my secretary
has you listed in my appointment book, but she doesn't say
exactly what you're here to talk to me about."

          The siblings sat across from Serea and looked at
each other before Sara began to speak. "Don't worry about
it. I came to see you about a modeling job. I've had some
experience with a few other companies. Here are some of my
pictures," she said setting a portfolio on top of the desk.

          Serea took the portfolio and looked at if for a
couple of minutes. "These are very good, and you are very
beautiful, but I must admit to you that I don't handle this
part of the business. Our head model Terra, she is the one
who handles this kind of stuff, but there is no way she
would turn you down. If you would like I can set up a
meeting with you tomorrow afternoon."

          "I see," Jason said before Sara could speak. "Is
there anyway you could personally give us a tour around the
building before we leave. Not saying that Terra isn't an
excellent person, but I would rather see what goes on here
from the person in charge."

          "I can understand your concerns," Serea said
looking down at her appointment book. "I  have plenty of
time between my next meeting and now to give you a tour, and
answer any questions you might have. Then if you are still
interested, like I said before I can arrange a meeting with
Terra, maybe as soon as today. Her office will be the last
stop on our tour."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~*~*~*~*~

          "And this floor is where our full time models
work," Serea explained. "Terra may either higher you as full
time or as a replacement model. If she highers you full
time, then you will be required to come in Monday and
Tuesday, all day, and then when ever you are needed for
fittings, a show, or photo shoot you must come in of course.
Since you are still in school though you can probably just
come in at certain times."

          "Actually I'm home schooled," Sara said.

          "Really," Serea said looking over her shoulder at
the two siblings.

          "Yes, she is," Jason spoke. "Our parents died a
few years ago, and our guardians thought it would be better
for us to be home schooled. Actually I finished my schooling
about a year ago, and have taken over my father's position
at his company."

          "That's not true Jason," Sara said punching him on
the shoulder. "He is only sort of in control of the company.
He's not of legal age yet so one of our guardians are in
control of the business, but Jason tells him what he should
do, and then our guardian reports to the company and makes
it happen."

          Jason shot her a cool stare, "I'll be taking over
when I turn 18, which is still another two years away. Not
to be rude or anything, but where did you formerly live? I
check up on the people my sister gets involved with, and
there was no report of you until four months ago. There are
reports of a little girl named Serea being born in New York
then her and her family moved to Europe and then no one
knows what happens, but if you are her then you are only
17."

          Serea stopped mid step and turned to face the two,
"You are right I am the Serea who was born in New York. When
I was younger we moved to Europe and a couple of years later
to Japan, where I lived until about four months ago. If
you're wondering how I can own this company it is because of
my friend Terra. She's a couple years older then me and we
met through a mutual friend. It's a really confusing story."
She looked down at her watch. "This is Terra's office. If
you don't mind I'll introduce you to her, and then I must be
on my way, my next appointment is in five minutes."

          "Okay," Sara said bubbly. "I so hope I get the
job. I just love your designs. I was at the party last
night. I loved how you had your hair done. Was the guy who
escorted you last night your boyfriend, he was really cute,
and it looked like the two of you where really close?"

          "Sara," Jason said, shooting his energetic sister
a cool stare.

          Serea was trying hard to hide a laugh. Sara just
shrugged innocently. "No, he wasn't my boyfriend. Jake is
just a very good friend of mine, he's more like an over
protective brother, then a boyfriend," Sere said getting
herself under control. She then continued to walk to the
last door in the corridor.

          Before Sere had a chance to knock, it opened to
reveal a stunning young woman. She was a couple inches
taller then Sere and her hair was darker then night. Her
ocean blue eyes sparkled with mischief. "Serea what are you
doing here," she said when she noticed the group of three
standing outside her door." "I thought we where going to
meet in the lobby at quarter to one before heading out for
lunch? Did something change? If it did you could've just
phoned down."

          "We were and still are," she said with her happy
go lucky attitude. "I was just giving Sara and Jason Stanson
a tour of the building," she said turning to the two
siblings standing slightly behind her. "Sara came to see
about a position, as a full time model. I told her she would
have to see you. So, here we are."

          Terra glanced down at her watch and then back at
the three. "Sara, I'm sure we can find you position in fact,
I was about to put an add in the paper for a position, one
of our models is moving to New York. Of course I would have
to see your portfolio, and check you references, but
otherwise I think you have a job. Why don't you go on in and
take a seat," Terra said stepping out of the way so Sara and
Jason could walk into her office. She began to talk to Sere
again; "I'll see you at quarter to one."

          "You've got it," She said turning to head towards
the elevator. "I'll see you around Sara," she called over
her shoulder as she walked away.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~OUTSIDE~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*~*~*~*

          "Where are the prince and princess?" One of the
four men, who where standing outside of the building
Millennium asked.

          "Calm down, Galen, they'll be here. They know the
plan and they'll stick to it," the speaker shrugged. "Well
at least the prince will. Knowing the princess, she'll she
some of the clothes, and just go crazy, or she'll run in to
a.." he noticed the comical expression on his comrades
faces. "What?"

          "Or she'll run into a what, Ashe?" a female voice
sounded behind him. Ashe turned around to see the prince and
princess of the moon standing behind him. The prince like
the other three men was trying to keep him self under
control, and the princess had both fists planted on her
hips, and looked like she was about to hit something, or
someone, as the case maybe.

          "Nothing princess, we were just joking around," he
said trying to get himself out of sticky situation."

          "I don't believe you," she said walking towards
the group, "but, lets drop it for now." Ashe drew a hand
over his brow, acting like he was relieved. "We found them
though. Well at least we found Serenity and Terra the rest
weren't around, but after what Serenity said I still think
that Jake guy is Jadeite. Which means the other four
generals have to be close by."

          "You saw Terra," Galen asked right on cue. "How is
she, what does she look like? Does she remember her past?
Does she remember anything about me?"

          "Cool it Galen," the prince stepped forward. "She
looks fine, and she seems to be doing quite well. At the
moment she is Serenity's head model, and Serenity and Terra
will be walking out of that building in fifteen minutes to
go to lunch, so we might want to put a tag on the both of
them. They both seem to have their memories back, well sort
of." The prince brought up his hand to silence any
questions. "First off I want Drake and Logan to follow them.
Galen I know you want to, but Terra would recognize you and
it is not time for us to make our appearance yet. Secondly,
Galen when you get back to the house I want you to find out
where she grew up. She said she moved to Japan after I
related the story to her that someone had set up. I didn't
sense any deceit coming from her when she said she lived in
Japan. Also she seems to basically only have bits and pieces
of her memory back. The way it's categorized, it's like
someone has been telling her about her past, not like she's
remembering. Terra I have a feeling has been in contact with
Pluto. I could still feel some of the magic she uses to
break memory blocks, when I slipped into Terra's mind
unnoticed." He stopped to catch his breath. "Sara has to
stay here and fill out some paper work, and get some photo's
taken, Ashe I want you to stay with her. Now that we know
Serenity used to live in Japan, I'm going to use that info.
and see if I can find anything about evil creatures, and
that sorts appearing in Japan, over I think the last few
years. We all have are assignments, we'll meet at 8 o'clock
to night at StarDust and see what we found out."

          "Jason, with everyone spread out," Galen began,
"who's going to protect you? I know you say you can handle
yourself, but the Queen told us to look after you, and if
anything should happen to you again."

          "I'll be fine," Jason said walking to his car and
got in. "You're right I can take care of myself, and I don't
think anything would happen to me, cause I'm heading over to
the library to use their computer. No one will bother me
there."

          With that said they all went their own directions.
Ashe, and Sara went back into Millennium, Galen and Jason
drove off in different directions, and Logan and Drake stood
in front of Drake's car waiting for Terra and Serenity to
come out."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*STARDUST 1
O'CLOCK~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

          Terra and Sere had decided to walk to the
restaurant today, since it was only a few blocks away. As
they reached the door, Terra turned and looked behind her
before speaking again. "Sere, we have two people following
us, just act casual. I already have Jake and Matthew set up
to pick them up as soon as they walk through the door."

          They stepped up to the door, and it opened
automatically. "How did you contact them. I didn't see you
out your cell phone or anything," Sere said looking
quizzically at her friend as she stepped through the door.

          "I have a mental link with the Generals, as well
as Endymion, you and the rest of the scouts. You have one
with Endymion, me, the scouts, and when you know the Knights
of Selene better you'll have one with them. Your link is
probably how Pluto was able to contact you. Don't worry
though out of all of the scouts Pluto is the only one who
can get past the power of the crystal. Not even Endymion can
break that protection. I contacted the Generals through the
link, they'll pick up the people following us as soon as
they set foot inside the door, and then we'll meet them in
the back room. Where we usually have lunch, so we can figure
out why they were following us."

          "Are you positive they were following us?" Sere
said as they walked towards the back room.

          "They've got the two, and yes I'm positive," she
said weaving her way around the tables to get to the back
door. "I could feel their thought directed at us. Besides,
before we got outside, they where standing by a car, and as
soon as we where ten feet away from them, they started
following us. They same thing I used to do when I followed."

          "When you followed who?" Sere said walking a few
paces behind Terra

          "Never mind," Terra said opening the door to a
back room. "Let's see who are two visitors Huhhh." Terra
said fainting dead away. Luckily Sere was there to catch
her.

          "Uhh, could someone take her," Sere said trying to
hold Terra and not fall down herself. "She's not the
lightest person in the world." Nate walked over and took
Terra out of Sere's arms caring her over to the couch
against the back wall. Sere took a second to regain her
composer before she continued. When she was in the room she
closed the door and looked at the people assembled in front
of her. "Okay, can someone please tell me who these two are?
Why Terra fainted dead away, and why you are acting so
chummy with them?"

          "The prince was right," one of the two strangers
spoke, "she doesn't have all of her memories back." The two
strangers stepped forward , and kneeled before Sere.
"Princess Serenity, I am Logan, and this is my comrade
Drake, we Generals of the Knights of Selene. If you are
wondering why we are following you it's because your
brother, Prince Tranquillity asked it of us."

          "So, Pluto was right when she said the Knights of
Selene would find us," Sere said walking to sit down at the
table, "and with them some one from our past would appear.
So, where are the rest of the Knights and my brother, and
I'm guessing Princess Charity is with you as well."

          "Yes, we just left them about half-hour ago,"
Drake said standing. "You have already met your brother and
sister. The only persons you haven't met are Ashe, and our
commander Galen. Out of all of us, they are the only two
with the same name. They were both born in Asia to different
families, and moved her when they were four. Logan, and I
are cousins, I was born in Florida, and he was born in
Michigan. We all ended up in California when we where 16,
our families and that of the prince and princess were very
close. The prince was 8 and princess 7."

          "Hold up right there," Zack cut in. "I thought the
Princess was three years younger then the Prince, and if I'm
not wrong that would also make the Prince one year younger
then the Sere here."

          This time it was Logan to speak. "Seldom wrong,
and right again Zack. Some how when we where reborn, at
least the children of the moon, we became closer in age. We
the Knights of Selene are only one to two months apart in
age. The princesses and the prince are now only one year
apart in age. Don't ask me how it  happened, because I don't
know. All I know is that a few years ago the prince and
princesses parents of this time died, and a short while
after that the rest of our parents went on a vacation
together, when their plane crashed. We where old enough to
be able to take the prince and princess in. So, we are now
their guardians."

          Sere laid her head on the table in front of her.
"This is almost as bad as the story the Generals told me,
when we first got here. Okay why don't we start from the
top? Like first why don't you tell me how you fit into my
past. Terra and the Generals didn't tell me much. Secondly
who are the prince and princess you keep telling me about.
They didn't say anything to me about a prince and princess."

          "If they didn't tell you anything about a prince
and princess," Drake said kneeling beside her. "How did you
know that there was a princess when we didn't say anything?
And how did you even know here name was Charity?"

          Sere looked up at the faces of her friends, and
then to the face of Drake. "I don't know. I just saw the
face of a girl, who reminded me of my mother Queen Serenity,
and the name just came along with it."

          "It seems that you are starting to remember bits
and pieces of your past," Drake stood. "I think it would be
best if we waited to explain when everyone is here. We were
suppose to meet with  Galen and everyone else for dinner
tonight here. So if you would like to meet with us. We'll
all be here around 8."

          Matthew stepped forward. "I'm inclined to agree
with Drake on this. I'm sure Terra would want to be awake
when you tell us your story."

          "Especially if Galen's in it," Jake cut in.

          "I heard that," came a voice from the couch. "So
we are all going to meet here at 8." When she got seven
heads nodding in reply she stood. "Okay, well I'm really not
in the mood to eat right now. I think I'll get back to the
office. We have a major photo shoot tomorrow, and there are
a million things that need to be done. I was going to stay
late tonight, but since we're going to dinner I should go
get everything done."

          Sere stood, and watched as Terra walked towards
the door. "You want, company. I still have a million things
to do, and I need to check with some people about some
designs. So if you want the company. I'll come with you."

          Terra turned when she reached the door, "Sure,

Nate said sitting down on the couch. "As for Terra, the only

all her memories back."

          Well that's it for this edition of New Beginnings.
Next time we will be skipping to the scouts a few weeks into
the future. Then after that we will be going back to Serea
Fisher and everyone else, when they first meet up with the
rest of the Knights, and her family.
