Amy:           I can't believe that she's gone!

Jupiter:       We're here where did Amanda go?

CMoon:       I think we're a little late.

Everyone gets big sweatdrops.

Serena:        The monster took her.  The one with feathers!

Mars:           We should have gotten here quicker.

Venus:         Then, we might have been able to save her.

Serena:        Well theres nothing we can do now but wait and search for Amanda.

Amy:          I guess so.  I still cant believe they got her.  I PROMISE YOU AMANDA I WILL FIND YOU!

Scene:          Serena and Dariens Apartment

Serena:          Darien, are you home?

Darien:          Im in the bedroom.

Serena:          Ok, Im coming.

Darien:          Why do you look so sad Serena?

Serena:          Amandas gone.

Darien:          What?!

Serena:          The enemy got her and we still dont know what it is or how to stop it.  Whats worse is that its tearing up Amy real bad and when Amys feeling upset it makes me upset.

Darien:          I take it you dont want to try tonight for.

Serena:          No I still want to try tonight, but lets do it later, ok?

Darien:          Thats ok.  Why do you look so tired?

Serena:          Its probably just from trying to fight off the enemy.  Ill be ok.

Darien:          Alright, but I want you to rest this afternoon for tonight.

Serena:          I will as long as youre with me.

Darien:          No one will be able to drag me away.

Serena:          Thanks.

Darien:          Id do anything for you my meatball head.

Serena lays down on the bed and puts her head on Dariens chest and falls asleep while Darien is reading his book.

Darien:          (thinking) I wonder why shes been more tired than usual lately.  Its weird even for her to sleep this much.  I might want to get her to see a doctor.  Yeah Ill ask her to go tomorrow morning.  She looks so peaceful laying there asleep just like an angel.

Later he gets up and goes to take shower and Serena wakes up.  Darien  gets in the shower and doesnt notice that Serena is in the room.  After a couple minutes he hears the shower curtain move and looks back and there is Serena.

Darien:                   I thought you were asleep.

Serena:                   I was but I feel rested now.  Im ready and reran for action.

Darien:                   Thats my meatball head.

They start kissing and then they get out of the shower dry off and get into bed.

Serena:                   Dont forget to lock the door or else Luna will come in.

Serena:          Yes, she keeps saying shes my guardian so she has to protect me every moment.  I never got to have much of a private life, but ever since I moved in her shes been backing off a little.  I think its cause she knows that I have you to protect me.

Darien:          You know Ill always be there for you, dont you?

Serena:          Yep and Ill always be there for you to.

Darien:          Serena, Id like you to see a doctor about how sleepy youve been lately.  Youve slept a whole lot more than usual lately.

Serena:          But Im fine.

Darien:          I know, I just want to make completely sure that theres nothing wrong, alright?

Serena:          Alright, Ill go tomorrow.

Scene:          Doctors Office

Serena:          Im here for my appointment.

Nurse:          The doctor will see you in a minute.  Also, youre due for a full physical so the doctor will be giving you one today.

Serena:          Does that include drawing blood?

Nurse:          Yes, it does.

Serena:          Oh, no I hate needles!

Doctor:          Im ready for my next appointment nurse.

Serena:          Im here.

Doctor:          Serena, I didnt know you had an appointment today.

Serena:          Darien suggested I come in because Ive been so exhausted lately.

Doctor:          Well come on in and well start your physical.

Scene:          After the physical

Doctor:          Bye Serena.  Ill call you with the results of the tests.

Serena:          Alright, Bye!

Scene: Serena and Dariens Apartment

Serena:          Hello anyone home?  I guess no ones home.  I think Ill take a little nap. Yawn!

Serena changes into her nightgown and gets into bed and falls asleep.  Later the phone rings and Serena wakes up and answers the phone. 

Serena:                   Hello.  Oh, Hi Doctor. Yes, ok.  WHAT!  Yes, thank you, Bye.

Darien:                   Serena, Im home.

Serena:                   Hi Darien!  I missed you.

They kiss.

Darien:                   I missed you too. Wheres Rini?

Serena:          Shes on the balcony.  Shes really down about Amanda being gone.  I cant blame her one bit though.  Shes just had her best friend taken away from her. Later Rayes supposed to take her to the park.

Darien:          Where did this maternal rush come from?

Serena:          So youre saying I couldnt be a good mother.  I cant believe youd say that!

Serena runs out of the apartment crying and Darien feels guilty and yet confused.

Darien:          (thinking) I wonder what made act like that.  Id better go see Rini before trying to find Serena so that she has time to cool off.

Rini:          Hey Darien.

Darien:          Whats the matter Rini?

Rini:          I miss Amanda.

Darien:          Well I have something that will make you feel a little better, I hope.

Rini:          What is it?

Darien pulls out a picture of Rini and Amanda at the beach together having fun.

Rini:                   Thanks Darien. It did make me feel a little better.

Darien:          Told you so. (thinking) Now that Ive cheered her up I have to find Serena and apologize for what ever it is Ive done.

Scene: Litas Apartment

Serena rings the doorbell.

Lita:          Hold on a moment.  Who is it?

Serena:          (sobbingly) Its me Lita, Serena.

Lita opens the door.

Lita:          Whats wrong?

They walk inside.

Serena:          I feel just awful.

Lita:          About what?

Serena:          I yelled at Darien and he didnt deserve it.  I just couldnt help it.  Id just gotten some big news (says big news very softly) and I was very confused and then we got into a conversation about Rini.  Then he asked where the maternal rush had come from and I got mad because it sounded like he was saying that I couldnt be a good mother.

Lita:          Wow thats a mouthful.  Why did you come here?  I thought for sure if something like this happened that youd go to Minas or Amys.

Serena:          I wanted your opinion this time.  Darien wont know that Im here because I took your phone number out of the address book and took it with me.  Plus I knew you could keep a secret.

Lita:          What secret and what big news?

Serena whispers into Litas ear.

Serena:          Thats why I got upset.

Lita:          Oh!

Scene: Serena and Dariens Apartment

Darien:          Hello Amy.  Have you seen Serena today?

Amy:          No I havent.  Why?

Darien:          No specific reason just trying to find her.

Amy:          Sorry I couldnt help you.  Bye.

Darien:          Ive tried all the girls and not one of them has seen her at all today.  Thats strange.  Theres a page missing from the address book.  Ok, which of the girls have I called?  I called Amy, Raye, Mina, and  Wait I havent called Lita and now I know why.  Her phone number is missing from the address book.  Serena must have ripped it out so I couldnt call Lita.  So thats where she is.

Scene:          Litas Apartment

Lita:          Obviously Dariens going to find out youre here sooner or later and youve got to tell him sooner or later.

Serena:          When he does come dont tell him, please?  I want to tell him myself later when were alone.

Lita:          Alright, but you have to promise to tell him.

Serena:          I will I promise.  Thank you Lita.  Youre a true friend.

Just then the doorbell rings.

Lita:          Who is it?

Darien:          Its me Darien.  Is Serena there?

Lita:          (softly) Serena go hide in my bedroom if you dont want to see him yet.

Serena:          (softly) Thanks Lita.

Lita:          Coming.  Oh hi Darien.  Who are the roses for?

Darien:          Therere for Serena.  Is she here?

Serena peeks through the door and sees the roses and how worried Darien looks and starts to cry.

Darien:          Whats that noise?  It sounds like Serena crying!  Serena is that you?

Serena:          Yes!

Serena walks out of the bedroom.  Her face is stained with tears.

Lita:          I have to go out and get something for a recipe so Ill leave you two alone for a while.

Lita leaves.

Darien:          Im sorry for what I said and these are to prove Im sincere.

He hands her a bouquet of long stem red roses.

Serena:          Oh Darien their beautiful!

Darien:          Not as beautiful as you.

Serena:          Im sorry that I ran out of the apartment like that.

Darien:          Its okay.  I was an idiot to say something like that anyway.  Youd be a great mother.  Obviously Rinis a very good example.

He leans over and kisses her.

Darien:          So what do you say about going home.

Serena:          Id love to.

Scene: Rayes House

Lita:          Yeah, Serena got mad at Darien and came over to my apartment and you know what he brought her.

Raye:          No, what did he bring her?

Lita:          A dozen long stem red roses!

Mina:          Wow how romantic!

Raye:          That is romantic.  They have the smallest fight and he brings her roses.

Amy:          That is so cool!

Lita:          (thinking) I hope Serena tells him soon.  If the girls catch wind of even a clue Im toast.  Theyll fry me for knowing and not telling them, but I made a promise to Serena not to tell.

Raye:          Well, I have to go I promised to take Rini to the park today.

All:          Bye!

Scene:          Serena and Dariens Apartment

The doorbell rings.

Darien:          Serena, could you get that please?

Serena:          Alright!  Hi Raye!

Raye:          Hi Serena!  Ive come to take Rini to the park like I promised.

Serena:          Thanks.  Id take her, but Im just so exhausted and Darien has to finish a paper for school.

Rini:          Hi Raye!

Raye:          Hi Rini!  Ready to go to the park?

Rini:          Sure!  Bye Darien.  Bye Serena.

Raye:          Bye!

Raye and Rini leave and Darien comes out of the bedroom.

Darien:          Was that Raye?

Serena:          Yeah, she came to take Rini to the park.

Darien:          Good thatll take Amanda of Rinis mind for a while.

Serena:          Itll also give us some time alone.

Darien:          Now thats the part that I really like.

Serena:          Good because we need to talk about how to find Amanda.

Darien:          (big sweatdrop)Oh!  Well I have to finish that paper thats due soon.

Serena:          I thought you wanted to talk. (sarcastically)  Or did you have other things in mind.

Darien:          Now that youve said something.  Yes I did.

Serena:          I know I was just joking.

Darien:          I knew that.

Serena:          (thinking) Yeah sure he knew.

Scene: The next morning.

Darien has just woken up and realized that Serena isnt in bed.

Darien:                   Serena, were are you?

Then he hears the sound of someone becoming sick in the bathroom.

Darien:                   Serena, is that you?

Serena:                   Yeah.

Serena gets sick again.

Darien:                   Are you ok?

Serena:          (thinking) I dont want him to get suspicious so Id better say that I have the flu or something.

Darien:          Are you ok?

Serena:          Yeah, Im fine.  I must have the flu or something.

Darien:          Well, when your done you should get back into bed.

Serena:          I will.

Serena is finally feeling a bit better so she decides to get dressed and go over to Rayes.

Scene: Rayes House

Serena:                   Hey everybody.

All:                   Hi Serena!

Amy:                   Are you feeling all right?  You look kind of pale.

Serena:                   Im fine.

Lita:            Yeah, if youre not feeling good you should go home, but before you do I need to talk to you.

Serena:        Alright!  I could have handled them you know.

Lita:             I know, but I wanted to talk to you.  Have you told Darien yet?

Serena:        No, not yet.

Lita:            Why not?

Serena:          Well I dont know how hell take it and hes been in such a good mood lately that I dont want to ruin his mood.

Lita:          Youd better tell him before you blow up like a balloon.

Scene: Serena and Dariens Apartment

Serena:          (thinking) I wonder if Darien suspects anything.  I wish I would stop feeling sick.

Just then her communicator beeps.

Serena:        Yeah.

Mina:           Were going to talk about the new enemy and since you went home we thought that we would set up a link in the communicators for you to listen in and be able to be in on the conversation.  Anyway, Amy how do you think we should try to find Amanda.

Amy:           I think that the next time it attacks that we should use my computer to track it and then follow it to Amanda.

All:              Well that sounds like a good idea to me.

Serena starts to feel sick and runs to the bathroom.

Raye:           Serena, isnt that a good idea.  Serena, Serena, are you there?  Serena isnt answering.

Lita:             (thinking) Ill bet shes got morning sickness again.  She really needs to tell someone besides me.  Maybe I can talk to Luna?

Serena:        Im here.

Amy:           Are you okay?

Serena:        Yeah, I thought I heard Darien come home, but hes still at the library working on his paper.  By the way, Raye wheres Rini?

Raye:           Shes over here.  Shes taking a nap she wore herself out at the park.

Serena:        I hate to wake her up, but its getting late and Im getting lonely here alone.

Lita:             Ill wake her up and walk her home.

They all switch off their communicators.

Serena:        Good now I wont be all alone. (thinking) Maybe I should tell Rini or Luna.  I cant keep it a secret for long.  If I tell Luna shell blab it to the girls.

Rini:            Im home.  Is anyone here?

Serena:        Im in here Rini.

Rini:            Are you feeling ok?

Serena:        Rini, do you think that its alright to keep a very important secret from Darien.

Rini:            No I think you should tell him as soon as possible.

Serena:        (thinking) Maybe I should tell him tonight in bed. 

Rini:            (says softly) I love you, Momma!

Serena:        Come here Rini.

Rini gets closer to Serena and then Serena grabs her and hugs her and Rini gets on the bed and falls asleep while Serena is holding her.

Scene: Later

Darien:          Im home.

Serena:          Shhh!  Rinis sleeping in here.

Darien:          Oh sorry!  She looks so peaceful.

Serena:          I wish she looked like that all the time.

Darien:          So you feeling better?

Serena:          Yeah, with help from Rini.

Darien:          Huh?

Serena:        Yeah, she helped me to feel a little better by calling me momma and telling me she loved me.

Darien:         So she has been a virtual angel today.  Thats a change.

Serena:        Can you help me get her to bed?

Darien:         Sure.

Darien and Serena take Rini to her bed and tuck her in.  Then they go to their room and they start to make out.

Luna:                   Ahem!

Serena:                   Luna!

Luna:          I thought that I would have a chance to talk to you tonight, but I guess I was wrong.

Serena:          No you werent Luna.  Ill talk to you right now.  Darien could you go into the livingroom please.

Darien:          Sure.

Darien leaves the room.

Serena:          Now. What do you want to talk about Luna?

Luna:          The way youve been acting lately.

Serena:          I havent been acting any differently lately.

Luna:           Serena, you cant hide it from me.  You havent come to any Sailor meetings lately, youve had the others take Rini to the park which is one of your favorite things to do with her, youve been tired a whole lot more than usual, and tell me when Im getting warm.

Serena:          Alright, alright, so maybe I have been acting a little differently lately, but thats no reason to interrupt Darien and me.

Luna:          If its what I think it is I have every reason to interrupt you and Darien.

Serena:          Yeah and?

Luna:          Either you tell me whats going on or I wont leave and you wont have time alone with Darien.

Serena:          Alright, alright, Ill tell you. (whispers) Im pregnant and it may be Rini.

Luna:          No wonder youve been acting the way you have.  Have you told Darien?

Serena:          Well, um.

Luna:          You havent told him yet!

Serena:          No!  I was waiting for the right moment.

Luna:          What when youre delivering?!

Serena:          No! (big sweatdrop)

Luna:          Well, I suggest that you tell him tonight!

Serena:          Alright, but you have to go, alright?

Luna:          Im going to sleep with Rini tonight.

Serena:          Darien, you can come back in now.  Bye Luna!

Darien:          What was that all about?

Serena:          Nothing.  Just Luna being paranoid.

Darien:          Oh that seems to happen a lot.

Darien feels up and down Serenas body and when he gets to her stomach the baby kicks and Darien jumps.

Serena:                   Whats wrong?

Darien:                   Your stomach just jumped.

Serena:                   Thats because Im so excited.

Darien:                   Well all right, you think youre excited now you just wait.

They go to bed and like I have to tell the rest.

Scene:   A battle

Moon:                   Come on Scouts we need to beat this monster.

Mars:                   Look out Sailor Moon!

The monster hits Sailor Moon right in the stomach.

Moon:                   Ohhhh!

Mask:                   Sailor Moon hold on well get you to a hospital.

Moon:                   It hurts!  Darien Im, Im, Im.

She passes out.  The next thing she knows shes at a hospital and the doctor is telling Darien that she was pregnant.

Serena:                   What do you mean was pregnant?

Doctor:                   You lost the baby.

Serena:                   NNNNNNOOOOOO!
