Why did you make so much good food?" the blond complained good-naturedly, patting her stomach. " It's your birthday, silly. We're celebrating, and that calls for good friends and good food. Besides, thank my old friend, Remi, for it. I couldn't have made the red beans and rice properly without the andouille sausage and the tasso he sent me when his tour of duty was up and he went home to New Orleans." " Do you still miss him?" " Yes, I still do. We had a lot of fun, but he had to go back home. He had a wife and two kids there, you know." " No, I didn't. I had wondered why you hadn't been chasing him like you usually do. I'm also very grateful he showed you how to make your cake better. I'm just mad at you for making so much of it," Serena replied as a small, mischievous grin crept onto her face for a moment. " Somebody had to finish it all off, didn't they?" she said as innocently as possible. " We know you, Serena," Lita replied, laughing. " I always make three cakes for your birthday and leave one at home so the rest of us can have a slice tomorrow. You've gotten a lot better about all the sweets, but my chocolate cake still makes you lose control." They finished walking into the den, each carrying a tray of drinks. They had decided to save the rest of the bottles of the Cabernet that Alex had sent and switched to sodas, as the party would be wrapping up in a little bit and some had to drive home. Serena put her tray on the coffee table by the larger couch that Mina and Raye sat on and sat down next to Darien on the smaller couch. Lita sat between the two and tossed a small pillow at Amy, who had her nose stuck in a book while standing at the bookcase at the far side of the room. They all laughed as Amy was startled by the pillow that hit her in the rear. She almost dropped the book and the 'granny' glasses she used for reading stayed on her only because of the straps. She joined in with the laughter after a few moments. " Put the book down, Amy. C'mon." Lita said, patting the remaining spot on the sofa. " You can talk to Darien about cosmology later on." While Amy took a seat after putting her glasses away and giving Lita a mock-stare, Raye resumed the conversation she was having with Darien. " Have you heard anything from Reenie, Darien? It's hard to think that we won't see her again for almost a thousand years." " 'And there was much rejoicing...' " Lita cut in, smiling at the pair on the couch. They all laughed at the joke, for the little girl had been a problem for all them when she had first arrived. The dark haired man glanced briefly at the portrait on the wall of he and Serena in the future that Michelle had left for them with instructions to open it this night, which they had done earlier. " We still miss her. It's hard to believe she's grown so much. The last time we saw her, I think she was about eight or nine. Now, she looked about thirteen. You wouldn't believe the differences." " She was as tall as I was," Serena said, sighing fondly at the memory. " She could only come back for a moment, but she wanted to apologize for all the things she did to us when she was younger and to thank us for loving her so much. She wanted very much to see all of you, but the portal that Susan made was a real tight one and she had to go back right away. " I don't ever think I'll get used to being a real queen, but she was absolutely regal in everything she did. I can't see how I used to hate her so much." " Did she say why Susan was having problems with the gate, Serena?" Amy asked. She had the same look on her face that a cat has when spotting a mouse. Darien laughed heartily at this. Amy was trying to sneak a fast one in on one their favorite topics to debate. " Sorry, Amy. The future Susan told her not to say anything because she still thinks you're far too clever for your own good. She swears that you've already broken the time line once by figuring out the theory behind the dimensional pockets we use. She insists you didn't discover it until six hundred years from now in her past." They had a good laugh as Amy pouted. Serena took a sip of the scotch Darien was drinking, made a face at the taste, and changed the subject. " Thank you again, everybody, for all the wonderful gifts. You really didn't have to do all of that. My birthday wasn't that important. You didn't have to get me something and also a housewarming gift." A hail of the small throw pillows Serena had piled on all the furniture descended upon the giggling Moon princess as her court objected to her statement. Her official royal protector and husband-to-be wisely stayed out of the way as a short, lopsided pillow throwing war began. " You'll live in a gigantic castle someday, Serena. We've seen it, remember? You'll have to furnish it sometime." Raye gently scolded her while waggling her finger when they all stopped laughing after the fight wore down. " Yeah," Lita added. " And don't think I'll come over and clean a place that big for free." " You're on your own with the decorating, your majesties," Mina continued with a smile. " I can't come up with anything other more glass and crystal to go with that place." Amy softened up at the sight of the mock-dejected looking princess. " I'll help you on one thing, Serena. I saw the sizes of the closets in one room. There's no way to fill them up. You won't have to clean your room; you can just push it all into the closet." " All right, you four. That's enough abuse of 'Her Majesty' for one night. All of you, out!" she said while giggling and trying to point imperiously at the door. After a few more laughs, they decided to wrap things up for the night. They gathered together for a quick session of hugs and good-byes. Serena was crying through it all as usual, the happy tears rolling down her rosy cheeks. It took the couple a few minutes to clean everything up after the others had left. Darien took a quick shower and then drew a hot bath for Serena, insisting she relax and soak for a while. She knew he was up to something, but didn't press him so as to ruin the surprise. She took off the dress she had been wearing and carefully arranged it on a hanger so that the fabric wouldn't wrinkle. The hanger was then put on a hook just outside the door that led to their bedroom. There was a full length mirror in the bathroom and she stepped in front of it to look at herself. Her body almost didn't look her age of twenty one years. Of course, it shouldn't look like that, as long as she had done her job right. She had started using the crystal to prolong their lives when she was eighteen, thanks to the training she had done with Amy. She looked much like she did when she was younger, except for being a few inches taller and several pounds heavier from having finished filling out. Her head could just snuggle under Darien's chin while they danced, and that was as tall as she ever wanted to be. Her body was still slender and firm from the years of working out and her finally conquering her vaunted appetite. The boys at her high school suddenly noticed the changes in her last year. She had gone from a cute, but clutzy kid to the reigning beauty. They had clamored for her attention, just like the boys at her university did now, but her heart already belonged to her prince. Her parents had a tough time with their relationship at first, but it didn't take long for them to come around after meeting Darien a few times. They had been at her parent's earlier in the day for a more private party with just the family and her intended. Serena truly didn't know why it took them so long to have another child. She had a crazy dream a few years ago after a lapse in her diet and eating a half-gallon of ice cream before going to bed. Her mother, the Queen, had been talking to her parents in this time. Reincarnation made for some interesting reunions, she thought as she grinned for a moment. Their words had been just too low for her to hear, but it must have been an interesting conversation. Her mother had informed her a few months later that she would be having a sister. They had taken Celeste out for a walk earlier in the day to give her parents a chance to have a short break before Sammy got home and the party had gotten underway. Her younger sister was a joy to be with, and her dark hair and eyes proving that she would take after her parents for looks, unlike Serena. Her life had certainly taken a turn for the better, she decided as she lowered herself into the bath and put on a slight trickle of hot water. Even Sammy had been nice to her today. The Scouts had handily taken care of the two most recent threats to come to the planet. They had fallen to their vastly improved power that was a result of her new confidence in herself. She was now one of the better students at her university and she was with the man she loved. She could feel the slight tingling sensation from her nipples as they began to harden and the pink tips poked up above the water. They would be together tonight. The last couple of weeks were spent in abstaining from any sex so that tonight would be just as special as it was that first night, three years ago. Darien had refused to make love to her until she was eighteen, even though both of them had been ready for it for some time. He had held to his promise to her father to wait until she was older, as her father had been concerned about their age difference at first. She had worked herself into a feverish pitch by the time her eighteenth birthday finally arrived. They had moved into their first apartment a few weeks earlier. Her heart had been going a mile a minute when they finally cleaned up after everyone had left. He had noticed her return to her old clumsiness as she stepped on his shoes several times as they had danced for a few minutes and took steps to calm her down. She found herself stripped and put into a steaming tub of water as he held her and stroked her hair while she trembled. Her nerves finally calmed down somewhat and he carried her to their bed after drying them off. The rubdown he gave her finally did the trick and removed all the jitters she felt. His hands were making her body feel so good that she couldn't feel any of the fears she had earlier. Their subsequent lovemaking had been pure bliss. She had played with herself a little bit when she was younger, but had never known that it could ever be like this. It had hurt a little when they started, but he was very patient and gentle with her. The rest of her feelings that wonderful night had to be what heaven was like. She woke from the half-doze with a slight start. The memories of that first night had certainly gotten her into the mood for what was to come. Her nipples were almost painfully erect and she softly rubbed and pinched them for a few minutes while the warmth between her legs slowly grew. She stopped just before her body started clamoring for more attention. It would get plenty of that in a little while. After draining out the water and rinsing herself off, she stepped out of the tub and used a large, white towel to dry herself. There was a robe laid out on the counter that hadn't been there when she started her bath. Darien must have left it there for her. She smiled at his thoughtfulness and started touching up her make-up in the mirror. Raye had taught her well over the last several years about how to correctly apply it and the correct colors she should use. She did a good job on it tonight, she thought. It was very light and did a good job highlighting her features. On a whim, she took a lipstick of the soft pink that she wore, the one that Darien liked on her so much, and traced out a large heart on the mirror. She wrote ' I love you ' inside and put on a just a hint of perfume. When she was done and had wrapped herself in the thick white robe, she went into the den they all had gathered in earlier. The lights were off. He had moved all the furniture out of the room or back against a wall to clear space for them to dance in. The flowers Alex and Michelle had sent were spaced throughout the room, giving her the illusion of their being in a garden at night if she disregarded the ceiling. He was standing in the middle of the balcony with the doors open to let in the breeze. It had rained briefly as she bathed, for the city seemed to sparkle in the moonlight. It was close to a full moon tonight. In a few days, it would be, and the night would almost be as bright as day from the radiance of her old home. She went to him and stood at his side, resting her head on his shoulder. He put his arm around her waist and gave her a gentle squeeze. On the railing in front of him were two of the exquisite crystal glasses that came with the wine they enjoyed earlier. Each contained a few drops, a teaspoon at most, of a clear liquid that shone by itself as if responding to the moonlight. Darien jokingly called it 'moonshine', but she knew the real story behind it. The royal vineyards on the moon only made a few bottles of this a year in the past. The grapes for this were the fruit of the survivors of the vines planted when the moon was first settled. Susan had found an unbroken bottle after the last battle and had kept it all these years to give to her when she came back. She had said that only the royal family should drink of it. They each took a glass and gently touched them together, the crystal chiming at the contact, and looked into each other's eyes. " To you, my prince, the love that is the center of my life," she whispered. " To you, my princess, my reason for existence," he replied. They kissed and drank, savoring the moment and their love. The wine was like a gentle silver fire that warmed their blood and soul. He pulled her into an embrace and held her for several long minutes before going back into the room and putting down the glasses. She heard a small click as the music started and he turned and bowed to her. His clothes changed from the shirt and slacks he wore to the black tuxedo that she loved on him so much. Her brow furrowed slightly as she concentrated for a moment, drawing on the power of the crystal inside of her. She curtsied as the robe melted into a long, white gown and she stepped into his arms. They danced together for a long time, something they did far more often now that she didn't step on his feet anymore. She would occasionally shift her clothes around in mid-step, forcing him to change to the correct counterpart of his to keep the symmetry he preferred. She went from normal evening wear to the gown she wore as the princess, and then the one she would wear as a queen in the future. He shifted to his black armor and then the white and lavender suit he would wear in the years to come. She even playfully threw in her various costumes she had worn as Sailor Moon over the years. He responded with the white mask and the black suit he wore as Tuxedo Mask. It was only when she started to shift and strategically 'forget' parts of her clothes that he would admit defeat. He couldn't match what she could do with the crystal. He laughed when she blushed as her clothes vanished for a moment as her thoughts wandered and scooped up the now-clad scout in his arms and carried her off to the bedroom, spinning in time with the music. His arms lowered her gently to the bed, where the fluttering red ribbons of her transformation appeared around her and her costume dissolved while he undressed. " Cheater," he said softly, smiling at her and the blush still on her cheeks. She still was bashful about this, even after a few years. She closed her eyes for a moment and stretched while he lay down next to her, enjoying the play of the moonlight from the open window on her skin as she moved. One of his long arms reached behind him and to the silver tray on the floor that rattled as he brought it up to the bed, the crystal vials chiming as they betrayed the slight shake in his hands. He was also keenly anticipating what was to come. She sat up and took the tray from him, silencing his protests with a kiss and pushing him back down on the bed. After selecting a vial of aromatic oil, she put the tray on the shelf that was part of the headboard and stole a look at him in the mirror there. He was so beautiful, with his lean muscles and dark hair and eyes. His member was stiffening even as she watched. Her hands tugged at his shoulders, and he rolled over to comply. She opened the vial and poured a bit over his shoulders and back, before putting some on her hands and beginning to work them over him. This was one thing she was good at, it had turned out. She could feel the muscles lose the tension she had felt in them earlier. It wasn't easy doing this the way they did, but it certainly made this night special for them. Her hands worked their way down, occasionally applying some more of the oil to him. They could of stayed on that gorgeous rear end of his for some time, but she forced them on. After she finished his feet, she had him roll over so she could do his front. She could tell he was relaxed by the massage, for he had softened slightly, but that would change in a few moments. She started working her way up his legs, caressing and kneading the muscles. He was fully erect as she finished the tops of his legs, and she gave the tip a soft, lingering lick and started on his stomach. When she was done, she leaned over him and they kissed for a few minutes before she stretched out on her stomach next to him, arranging her hair so that it was out of the way. He began to work down her back with soft lingering strokes that were as much a caress as a massage. He was kneeling over her, his legs straddling her thighs. She could feel his organ resting on her cheeks and mischievously reached back to hold them apart, trapping him between them and squeezed by clenching her muscles together. She was rewarded with a sharp hiss of pleasure from him, and then he freed himself and continued working down her legs. He turned her over and continued up the front of her, avoiding her mound, much like she had avoided him, except to take one soft lick along her lips to taste her juices. She moaned in pleasure at the feathery caress that she wanted to continue down there. He poured a little oil on her stomach and worked it in, watching her close her eyes in contentment. Her pink nipples were like small, hard pebbles as he worked his way around her breasts but did not directly touch them for a minute. She finally whimpered as he drizzled some oil on them. Her hands moved up to help and he put his over hers and moved them around until her breasts shone in the moonlight. Serena felt him pressing against her belly as he stretched out on top of her, his arms and legs taking most of his weight. It was throbbing between them and slid over her oiled skin as she gave him a quick kiss and squirmed out from underneath him. She pushed him onto his back, kneeled between his legs and smiled at him She took him in one hand and gently pumped up and down the length of it while enjoying the way it seemed to throb in her hand. There was already a shining droplet at the tip that rolled down the side as another took it's place, and then another. Her tongue darted out to lick him clean and swirl around the head for a brief moment before she began to nuzzle the entire length. His skin had a slightly salty taste that just made her hungrier for more. With her lips slightly parted, she kissed the tip and pressed down, savoring his taste as he twitched in her mouth. She continued to slide down until her lips were just below the crown and then used her tongue to glide around it as he groaned from the intimate contact. This continued for several more groans and then she began moving up and down on him, gently sucking as she went. Her other hand moved behind her and brought one of her long streams of hair over her shoulder. She swirled this around him, tickling and teasing the base with her hair until he was diamond hard and the need was written all over his face as she pulled away. Her need was just as bad as his. She waited several seconds for him to relax and calm down before moving to straddle his hips. One of her hands rubbed the tip of him along her lips for a moment to moisten it before she slowly lowered herself onto him. They both sighed in pleasure as the connection was made and she began a slow careful rhythm of moving up and down. She leaned forward to allow his hands to cup her breasts and play with her nipples as her speed steadily increased. It didn't take too long for her legs to get tired from supporting her weight and keeping up the pace. She lay down full length upon him, still keeping him in her as they rolled over and he began to move, plunging steadily in and out as he held himself above her, resting his weight on his hands. He would alternate between kissing her on the mouth or neck and occasionally reaching down to lick at her nipples as her legs moved up to press against his sides. The sensations finally became too much. Her anticipation and her hunger combined with the feeling of him moving inside of her to send her into her first orgasm of the night. Her muscles locked down on him as she spasmed and clung to him, shaking and trembling as she cried out in pleasure. He almost held out, but her cries were too much to bear and he came, shooting deep into her. They stayed that way for several minutes, catching their breath and coming back to the real world before he rolled off of her and pulled her up to rest her head on his shoulder. He reached down with his foot and pulled up a sheet to where his hand could reach it without disturbing her and pulled it over them to ward off a slight chill that they now felt from the night air as they cooled off. Several minutes passed as they nestled together, enjoying the afterglow that still surrounded them. It was only when he sat up and pulled an iced bottle from a silver wine bucket that she finally spoke. " That was wonderful, my love," she said to him, smiling as she accepted a glass from him. " Why is it always so good with you, especially tonight?" He smiled as he filled their glasses, replaced the bottle and piled up a few pillows so he could recline against the angled headboard. His arm swept around her to bring her up and lean her back against his chest. " I'm with the only woman I've wanted to be with for two lifetimes. How could I fail you, especially tonight?" " It's been a beautiful evening, Darien. Sometimes I wonder what I ever did to deserve you or the others." " You love us, Serena. You love us and accept us for who we are. That's something special in any world. That's why we try and make you happy." He kissed the top of her head, gently tugging at her hair until he loosened several strands that were partially beneath her. " Still, they didn't have to do all that tonight. I know Lita coordinated everyone on all the housewarming stuff, but we still have all of your old things. We didn't really need a new coffee maker or that monstrosity of a toaster." He laughed softly at this. " You won't be saying that when I use that waffle maker in the morning. You'll be glad of it then. I know how you are in the morning. I just hope Lita doesn't hurt herself with those trees." " She'll be all right, Darien. I went with her the first couple of nights she boosted their growth rate. It doesn't take much out of her to do this for two trees, except for that first time. I'm afraid she'll try and do it for the whole park, or something silly like that." She paused for a moment to take a sip of wine before continuing. " It was a lovely thought, wasn't it? I was so surprised when she took us to the park that morning." That day had been a shock for both of them. Lita had all but dragged them down to the park where Reenie had first fallen from the sky, since it had become a special place for Serena and Darien over the years. They were both startled to see a pair of new trees planted right by the path that led to the dock, one on each side. The two slender oaks hadn't been there a few days before, when she and Darien had come down to feed the birds one morning. Lita beamed at the sight of the two standing beneath the young trees. She told them to stand right between the trees and, after making sure nobody else was in the park at such an early hour, had changed into Sailor Jupiter in a flash of green light. Serena could see her brow furrow in concentration as she walked up and embraced them, her tiara slightly glowing with a charge of energy. " This is something I've wanted to do for a while. You're both very special people and very important to me. I planted these saplings yesterday. These will be a small symbol of that love. " Sparkling Vital Pressure!" she cried out softly as green energy crackled around them. Serena giggled as it tickled her, and she could see Darien smiling from the feel. Lita took another deep breath and closed her eyes. " Jupiter Oak Evolution!" Lita yelled as the energy was gently directed into the two trees and she collapsed. Darien kept her from falling and lowered Lita, now in her regular clothes, to the ground. Serena just stood and watched in shock as the trees began to grow, reaching up towards the sky, their branches intertwining. They finally stopped several feet above her head, forming an arch above the path. Lita had assured them that in about a year, she'd have the trees ready to stand until the time of Crystal Tokyo. The trees had also served as the place where they would meet their daughter when she came from the future, like she had the previous day. " They've all been so good to us, Darien. I wish there was some way I could show them how much I love them." He smiled and leaned forward to kiss her cheek. " They know, love. They know. That's why they do all of this. Raye was telling me how much you meant to all of them back then. She says they all feel fortunate to have you as a friend. They would have never been as happy as they are now." A rose appeared in his left hand as he finished his wine and set the glass down with his right. He drew it over her shoulders and along the upper part of her breasts, teasing her with the touch of the soft, fragrant petals. She moaned softly in response as her nipples began to harden. Her hand slipped beneath the sheet, encircling him as she softly squeezed and moved her hand up and down. " I take it you're ready to get back to catching up for lost time, hmm?" she said to him as she finished her wine and set the glass behind her on the headboard. " Well, " he said while laughing and lifting her up onto him so she sat on his lap and leaned her back against his chest. " It has been a few weeks, if you recall." Serena reached down and guided him into her as he reached around her and began to fondle her breasts. They did have some catching up to do, she decided with a smile. This was going to turn out to be another wonderful birthday celebration for her. She'd have to figure out something special to do for him on his. The End.
