Summary: Unknown
This story is a work of transformative fiction, such being defined as a work which incorporates characters and situations which have been created by other authors/artists. No infringement of copyright is intended and no profit is being made from the creation or dissemination of this work. Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon was created and is owned by Naoko Takeuchi. It is used with respect and admiration for the work.
Here's my next SongFic! Hope you like it! It has quite a bit
of dialogue from Sleeping Beauty, but I still think I did good.
I do *not* own Sailor Moon or Back to One. Mark Wills and
Naoko own those things, respectively. And Walt Disney owns
Sleeping Beauty, (AN: Hmmm... Ideas ideas.) and all songs from
it.
I'm updating my notes in this thing as of HERE, for
submitting to ASMR. I had quite a few REALLY NICE people write in
to encourage me, so who am I to argue? Thia, ne again, was written
several month ago, and this is the FIRST time it's been off my
site. I chose this one because it's a good 1st season, if more than
a little sappy.

*****************************************************************
One, you're like a dream come true...
*****************************************************************
Darien stared as Serena walked off, in a huff. Their
conversation had gone something like this:
Darien: So, Meatball Head. I see you're still going for the
heaviest teenager world record.
Serena (Looking up from a burger, extra cheese): What?! Why you
Idiot! This is perfectly healthy food!
Darien (hiding a smile): Healthy, if you think pure fat is good
for you... and your thighs. How in the world are you going to fit
into your sleeping beauty dress with that extra weight?
Serena (smoke pouring out her ears): Yeah? Well, how are you
going to get that super-sized ego of yours into Prince Charming's
tights?
Darien: It's Prince Philip, Meatball for Brains.
Serena walks off in a huff. Which was where we left off.
Why did he have to do this to himself? She hated him. Having
to kiss him in a play wouldn't change that.
But that didn't stop him from trying out for the part of
Prince Philip when he'd found out that Serena was playing Aurora.
The tights almost did, but his angel's feelings (pure and utter
hatred, to be exact) hadn't.
She was beautiful, sweet, kind and loved almost everyone.
The one exception being him. He loved her, but lacked the power
to do anything about it. It was just so damned easy to tease her.
*****************************************************************
Two, just wanna be with you...
*****************************************************************
"Gggrrrrrrrr....." Serena growled. "Why is he so anoying?"
she demanded of the air in front of her. "Worse! Why does he have
to play Philip?!"
She was pacing her room. Several stuffed animals were laying
in various positions, having suffered her wrath.
Luna, who was hiding under the bed, poked a nose out. "If
you're that upset about it, drop out."
Serena threw a bunny at the cat. "There's no one else with
the voice for it!" she yelled. "I have to do it! I can't let all
those people down!" And it was true, to a point.
Actually, there was one other person who could handle the
vocal's of Aurora's part. Raye. But Serena was going to give up
her one chance at tonsil hockey with Darien.
Yes, she admitted it to herself a long time ago. She loved
Darien, but couldn't do anything about it if he didn't feel the
same way. And he very obviously didn't.
At least she'd get to kiss him, even if he didn't like it.
*****************************************************************
Three, girl it's plain to see
You're the only one for me...
*****************************************************************
It was opening night. Darien paced off stage. Where was she?
He'd somehow managed to get the director, Ms. Wies, to agree that
they wouldn't have to practice the kiss scene. Though why he'd
done that even he didn't know.
Actually, yes he did. He was afraid that Serena would quit
if she had to kiss him more than was absolutely nessesary. But
now it was opening night, and there was no getting out of it.
Serena was in the back room, getting her hair done. Kelly,
the girl in charge of make-up and wardrobe, had nearly cracked
when she saw what she had to work with.
Finally, she was done. Serena looked up at the mirror and
gasped. She turned and gave Kelly a hug. "Thank you so much."
Kelly hugged back hesitantly, trying not to muss her work.
Ms. Wies stuck her head in the door. "Serena, curtain time in
five minutes." She gave the star a thumbs up and went to warn
others.
Serena gave Kelly another quick sqeeze, then grabbed the
cloak that went with her costume and padded barefoot out of the
room.
'I wonder what Darien will say when he sees me?' she
thought. 'Probably something about donuts...'
Darien looked up when he heard a bare foot hit the floor.
Serena met his eyes, in her costume as Briar Rose.
She was beautiful. Her hair fell in long, gorgeous curls
down to her calves. A small black bodice fitted snugly under her
breasts, which were covered by a peasant blouse. A long black
skirt went just past her hair, brushing her lower calf. She
looked like she'd been made for the part.
Serena struggled with the cloak, unable to fasten it. She
looked up when a shaky gasp for air caught her attention.
Darien stood there, mouth hanging open. She blinked. He
*really looked good in tights. (AN: Sssiiigghhh. I bet he's got a
nice butt, too.)
*****************************************************************
And four, repeat steps one through three...
*****************************************************************
"Darien, will you help me with this thing?" Serena asked. He
shook himself out of the daze and fastened the cloak for her.
"You're beautiful." Now, why did he say that?
Serena looked at him suspiciously. Was he teasing her?
"Thank you."
Darien felt himself in love with her all over again. She was
too perfect.
"CURTAIN!" Jack ran between them, shoving the two apart.
Quickly, the three fairies, the king and queen, several
extras and a plastic baby doll assembled on stage. The evil
fairy, Maleficent played by Raye (who'd given up on the Aurora
part), waited just off stage.
Serena and Darien watched as the extra's sang "Hail to the
Princess", Raye cursed the doll, and Molly and Melvin (as the
Queen and King) watched in horror. Amy, Lita and Mina (good
fairies) took the doll, and the curtain came down. Then a fake
forest was dragged on stage.
A few dolls on strings were dangling as Serena took her
place. The curtain came up, and Serena sat staring at a pond
sadly while various animals were gathered around her.
"I know they mean well, but I'm sixteen," Briar Rose said
softly to a squirrel by her foot. "'Don't talk to strangers,
Rose', Aunt Meriwether tells me. But you know what?" The rodent
and a rabbit bobbed on their strings. "I have met someone."
An owl bobbed, and a voice off stage said "whoo".
Serena threw all of her emotions for Darien into the next
part. "Well, he's tall, and handsome, and so romantic." She
sighed and looked into the "water". "And just before we say
goodnight, he takes me in his arms, and then..." The animals
bobbed again. "I wake up."
All the creatures sagged. "I know, it's only a dream. But
they say if you have a dream enough times, it sure to come true.
And I've seen him so many times." she sighed.
The lights faded on her side of the stage and brightened on
the other side, where Darien was hanging his cloths out to "dry"
and muttering about his stupid horse.
The owl flew over from Serena's side and somehow managed to
steal Darien's cape. He followed the stuffed animal, and watched
as the lights brightened.
The owl hooted behind Serena, and she laughed. "My Prince."
Briar Rose curtsied gracefully. "You know, I'm really not
supposed to talk to strangers." Serena offered her hand to the
owl. "But we've met before."
What followed nearly took the breath Darien wouln need to
sing in a few moments. Serena danced fluidly aroind the "meadow",
and Bill, the guy holding the bird, struggled to keep up.
"I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream," Serena
sang. Her voice hit the high notes effortlessly.
"I know you, the gleam in your eye is so familiar a
gleam..." the song continued. Darien waited for his part.
"But if I know you, I know what you'll do. You'll love me at
once," The big part was coming up. "The way you did once..."
Darien yanked the owl away from Serena and took her hands from
behind.
"Upon a dream," he melded his baritone voice with her
soprano perfectly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you," he soothed
her. It was so easy just to pretend that it was real.
"I'm sorry, I'm not supposed to talk to-" Briar Rose looked
at Philip with big blue eyes.
"Strangers. But don't you remember, we've met before."
Philip grinned rakishly.
"We have?" Rose asked softly.
"Of course, you said so yourself. Once upon a dream." Philip
took Rose's hand and pulled her into a waltz. "I know you, I
walked with you once upon a dream." The duet was beautiful.
Serena forgot everything. She just let herself dance with
Darien across stage. She was falling in love with him again. Why
couldn't he be like this in real life?
"What's your name?" He asked her softly.
"Hmm? My name?" She looked up alarmed. "Oh, I must go!" She
grabbed her basket and ran off stage, pausing only long enough to
tell Philip where her house was, and when to show up.
He watched her run off stage, and the lights dimmed. The
curtain fell.
*****************************************************************
Five, make you fall in love with me...
*****************************************************************
Darien paced nervously. The kiss was coming up. He hoped
he'd be able to go through with it.
The curtain rose, showing Serena on a table. A delicate blue
dress hugged her body, and a small tiara rested on her head. Her
long hair spread out over it, falling to the floor. Darien ran on
stage, looking at the sleeping goddess. She lay there, looking
dead. The soft yellow light tinted her hair, making it seem even
more beautiful.
He walked over to her side. She didn't even bat an eyelash.
kneeling down, he brushed the curls back from her face gently,
and bent down to her soft lips.
Serena felt his hand tenderly brush the hair out of her
face. Then his breath was on her lips, and soon she was liplocked
with Darien. It was wonderful.
He reluctantly pulled away, and Serena opened her eyes. To
Darien's utter shock, she winked at him before sitting up and
letting the most beautiful smile he'd ever seen grace the world.
Serena looked up, her heart in her eyes. She had fallen. No
matter what he did with it, she knew that he'd always have her
heart.
*****************************************************************
If ever I believe my work is done...
*****************************************************************
The final act was finally here. Now Darien was really
nervous. Serena had been acting strangely ever he'd "woken her
up". And the biggest part was coming up. The final part had
Darien kissing Serena again. But this time, it wasn't supposed to
be a gentle, innocent peck. And Darien didn't know what Serena
was planning, but he knew she was up to something.
The curtain rose, and Molly and Melvin, along with the rest
of the "court" woke up. Then Tim (sound effects guy) let out a
fanfair, and Darien lead Serena out onto the stage.
He and Serena stopped in front of the "thrones" and
genuflected to their "parents". The Serena ran and gave Molly a
hug while Melvin somehow managed to look regal, if dorky.
Then Darien and Serena started dancing again. They paused in
the center of the stage while the music to "Once upon a Dream"
played. Darien swallowed and softly brushed Serena's lips with
his.
*****************************************************************
I'll start back at one.
*****************************************************************
Serena felt Darien trying to make the kiss as short as and
virginal as possible.
'No you don't!' She threw her arms around his neck and
deepened the kiss while the curtains slid closed.
Andrew, out in the audience, laughed as Darien and Serena
went at it. He'd come to the play for the sole reason of seeing
the mortal enemies lock lips. He was still laughing as the
curtain parted...
Andy was suddenly silent. Darien and Serena were still in
the middle of the stage, still kissing. His jaw dropped as the
kiss got even hotter.
The cast bowed, most of them trying hard not to look at
Darien and Serena. It was well known that the two hated each
other, but that must have changed.
Darien and Serena broke apart, and the crowd finally started
applauding. The two didn't even hear. They just stared into each
others eyes.
"I love you, Meatball Head," Darien whispered.
"I love you, too, Muffin" Serena whispered back.
*****************************************************************
Say farewell to the dark of night...
*****************************************************************
Darien walked into the arcade. Serena was pounding on the
Sailor V game again.
"I won!" she screamed.
He wrapped arms around her waist and kissed her neck.
"Congratulations."
*****************************************************************
I see the coming of the sun...
*****************************************************************
Serena turned around and kissed him. The dark corners of his
heart lit up at her touch.
*****************************************************************
I feel like a little child...
*****************************************************************
They walked in the park. Serena saw a swing and dragged him
over. Laughingly, he pushed her higher and higher.
*****************************************************************
Who's life has just begun...
*****************************************************************
Darien cried as he told Serena how lonely he'd been, and
what had happened to his parent. Serena held him close as his hot
tears fell on her.
*****************************************************************
You came and breathed new life ...
*****************************************************************
Darien knelt before an eighteen year old Serena. "Would you
marry me, my princess?"
"Oh, Muffin!" Serena threw her arms around his neck and
kissed him. "Of course I will, my love."
*****************************************************************
Into this lonely heart of mine...
*****************************************************************
Tuxedo Mask and Eternal Sailor Moon fought a battle that
they knew they couldn't win. Light flashed and Tuxedo Mask was
thrown back.
"*DARIEN!*" Eternal Sailor Moon screamed. She ran over to
him. "No, don't leave me, my love." Her tears fell on his cheek.
The crystal inside her glowed, and light flashed.
*****************************************************************
You threw out the life line...
*****************************************************************
Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion stood when the light
cleared. They'd been healed by the power of the Crystal.
Together, they destroyed the youma, then turned into Darien and
Serena again.
*****************************************************************
And saved me just in time...
*****************************************************************
"You may now kiss the bride," the priest said.
Darien turned and lifted Serena's veil. She smiled as he
lowered his lips to hers. The Silver Imperium Crystal separated
from Serena again and floated over them, giving them it's
blesing. The crowd watched in awe.
The bridesmaids and Best Man smiled. They were the Senshi,
all of them, and Andrew. Four men stood up in the crowd and took
their places beside the inner senshi.
The Crystal shone with a pure white light. Princess Serenity
and Endymion broke apart, then to look at Queen Serenity, who
was standing beside the passed-out clergyman.
"It's time, daughter," the queen whispered and held out the
crescent moon wand out.
"Thank you, Mother." Princess Serenity took the wand, which
had been retrieved from the arctic.
The Imperium Crystal flashed joyfully with a light that was
felt by the entire world. When the light faded, the Crystal
rested peacefully on the Wand, which was held by Neo-Queen
Serenity. King Endymion smiled and kissed his queen as Crystal
Tokyo and the Crystal Millennium rose around them. Jaedite,
Neflite, Zoicite and Kunzite held The Neo-Queens Mars, Jupiter,
Mercury and Venus close.
*****************************************************************
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
You're the only one for me.
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
I'll start back at one...
*****************************************************************
Endymion held Serenity's hand as another contraction shook
her. Mercury smiled and held up a baby with pink fuzz for hair.
The baby was proving that she had her mothers lungs.
"Congratulations, Sere, Endy," Mercury handed the baby to
Mars, Jupiter and Venus for cleaning. Pluto, Saturn and Neptune
hovered nearby, ooing and ahing. "The Small Lady is born."
Uranus poked her head in the door, looking a little green.
"Is it over?"
Serenity nodded as the baby was passed to her. Endymion
kissed his wife's sweaty forehead.
"My Small Lady Serenity," Endymion whispered as the baby had
her first meal. "We missed you, Rini."
*****************************************************************
I'll start back at one...
*****************************************************************
Well, it's done. What do you think? I think that inspiration
is a beautiful thing, don't you? I love that sentimental note
that I ended it on. Rini may be a spore, but she's still a living
being, and very loved. (sniff.)
I'm sure you're seeing the pattern here. No knowledge what-so-ever of what it is I wrote, other than a vague "ew, het" feeling.

If ever I believe my work is done...
*****************************************************************
The final act was finally here. Now Darien was really
nervous. Serena had been acting strangely ever he'd "woken her
up". And the biggest part was coming up. The final part had
Darien kissing Serena again. But this time, it wasn't supposed to
be a gentle, innocent peck. And Darien didn't know what Serena
was planning, but he knew she was up to something.
The curtain rose, and Molly and Melvin, along with the rest
of the "court" woke up. Then Tim (sound effects guy) let out a
fanfair, and Darien lead Serena out onto the stage.
He and Serena stopped in front of the "thrones" and
genuflected to their "parents". The Serena ran and gave Molly a
hug while Melvin somehow managed to look regal, if dorky.
Then Darien and Serena started dancing again. They paused in
the center of the stage while the music to "Once upon a Dream"
played. Darien swallowed and softly brushed Serena's lips with
his.
*****************************************************************
I'll start back at one.
*****************************************************************
Serena felt Darien trying to make the kiss as short as and
virginal as possible.
'No you don't!' She threw her arms around his neck and
deepened the kiss while the curtains slid closed.
Andrew, out in the audience, laughed as Darien and Serena
went at it. He'd come to the play for the sole reason of seeing
the mortal enemies lock lips. He was still laughing as the
curtain parted...
Andy was suddenly silent. Darien and Serena were still in
the middle of the stage, still kissing. His jaw dropped as the
kiss got even hotter.
The cast bowed, most of them trying hard not to look at
Darien and Serena. It was well known that the two hated each
other, but that must have changed.
Darien and Serena broke apart, and the crowd finally started
applauding. The two didn't even hear. They just stared into each
others eyes.
"I love you, Meatball Head," Darien whispered.
"I love you, too, Muffin" Serena whispered back.
*****************************************************************
Say farewell to the dark of night...
*****************************************************************
Darien walked into the arcade. Serena was pounding on the
Sailor V game again.
"I won!" she screamed.
He wrapped arms around her waist and kissed her neck.
"Congratulations."
*****************************************************************
I see the coming of the sun...
*****************************************************************
Serena turned around and kissed him. The dark corners of his
heart lit up at her touch.
*****************************************************************
I feel like a little child...
*****************************************************************
They walked in the park. Serena saw a swing and dragged him
over. Laughingly, he pushed her higher and higher.
*****************************************************************
Who's life has just begun...
*****************************************************************
Darien cried as he told Serena how lonely he'd been, and
what had happened to his parent. Serena held him close as his hot
tears fell on her.
*****************************************************************
You came and breathed new life ...
*****************************************************************
Darien knelt before an eighteen year old Serena. "Would you
marry me, my princess?"
"Oh, Muffin!" Serena threw her arms around his neck and
kissed him. "Of course I will, my love."
*****************************************************************
Into this lonely heart of mine...
*****************************************************************
Tuxedo Mask and Eternal Sailor Moon fought a battle that
they knew they couldn't win. Light flashed and Tuxedo Mask was
thrown back.
"*DARIEN!*" Eternal Sailor Moon screamed. She ran over to
him. "No, don't leave me, my love." Her tears fell on his cheek.
The crystal inside her glowed, and light flashed.
*****************************************************************
You threw out the life line...
*****************************************************************
Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion stood when the light
cleared. They'd been healed by the power of the Crystal.
Together, they destroyed the youma, then turned into Darien and
Serena again.
*****************************************************************
And saved me just in time...
*****************************************************************
"You may now kiss the bride," the priest said.
Darien turned and lifted Serena's veil. She smiled as he
lowered his lips to hers. The Silver Imperium Crystal separated
from Serena again and floated over them, giving them it's
blesing. The crowd watched in awe.
The bridesmaids and Best Man smiled. They were the Senshi,
all of them, and Andrew. Four men stood up in the crowd and took
their places beside the inner senshi.
The Crystal shone with a pure white light. Princess Serenity
and Endymion broke apart, then to look at Queen Serenity, who
was standing beside the passed-out clergyman.
"It's time, daughter," the queen whispered and held out the
crescent moon wand out.
"Thank you, Mother." Princess Serenity took the wand, which
had been retrieved from the arctic.
The Imperium Crystal flashed joyfully with a light that was
felt by the entire world. When the light faded, the Crystal
rested peacefully on the Wand, which was held by Neo-Queen
Serenity. King Endymion smiled and kissed his queen as Crystal
Tokyo and the Crystal Millennium rose around them. Jaedite,
Neflite, Zoicite and Kunzite held The Neo-Queens Mars, Jupiter,
Mercury and Venus close.
*****************************************************************
One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
You're the only one for me.
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
I'll start back at one...
*****************************************************************
Endymion held Serenity's hand as another contraction shook
her. Mercury smiled and held up a baby with pink fuzz for hair.
The baby was proving that she had her mothers lungs.
"Congratulations, Sere, Endy," Mercury handed the baby to
Mars, Jupiter and Venus for cleaning. Pluto, Saturn and Neptune
hovered nearby, ooing and ahing. "The Small Lady is born."
Uranus poked her head in the door, looking a little green.
"Is it over?"
Serenity nodded as the baby was passed to her. Endymion
kissed his wife's sweaty forehead.
"My Small Lady Serenity," Endymion whispered as the baby had
her first meal. "We missed you, Rini."
*****************************************************************
I'll start back at one...
*****************************************************************
Well, it's done. What do you think? I think that inspiration
is a beautiful thing, don't you? I love that sentimental note
that I ended it on. Rini may be a spore, but she's still a living
being, and very loved. (sniff.)
