We hope you missed us. ^_^ Well, here it is-- the chapter you’ve been waiting for- for a while, thanks for your patience, enjoy.... Disclaimer: We don’t own sh*t so don’t sue, BYE! for author’s notes: ANH - Shari ANS - Serena (if you need to know any of the Japanese words that we use in the story, go to the bottom of this page) The next day, after school. The bell had just rung and everyone was rushing out of the building. "Hey Serena, you wanna come to the mall with us? Forever21's having a sale." Mina said excitedly. Serena shook her head, taking the blowpop out of her mouth, "Lie, gomen ne, I can't. I promised Darien I'd meet him at the park today. If we finish early I'll try to find you guys, k?" "Ok, ja ne, Bunny!" Lita shouted, and the four girls were off. (ANH: We decided to use Bunny instead of Sere coz the name Sere is getting sooo tired.) "Sayonara!" %~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~% Serena walked slowly up to the bench Darien was sitting on and sat down next to him. “Konni-wa.” she said and smiled. “Hi.” he said, almost dreamily. Serena laughed, “Are you ok?” she asked. “Ne? Oh-uh.. hai, I’m fine.” She put her blowpop back into her mouth to keep from laughing anymore. ‘She’s so cute...’ he thought and smiled. “Ok, I wanna know everything about you.” she said and Darien raised his eyes brows. “EVERYthing?” he asked and she nodded. He took a deep breath, “Ok... when I was little I lost my parents in a car crash. I had amnesia and stayed in an orphanage ‘till I was 6 years old with kids who all, pretty much, hated me until I was adopted by Katherine and David Carter. I’ve lived with them ever since. If you’re wondering why my name is Shields, it’s my real name, it’s the only thing I remembered, for some unknown reason.” he said slowly, looking out to the lake. Serena was close to tears but quickly pushed them back, “I-I’m so sorry.” she said sympathetically and he gave her a small smile. “It’s fine, you didn’t know.. Well, I told you about myself, what about you?” “Ok,” she took a deep breath and looked down at the ground. “well, you see, my parents, they fight a LOT..over tiny little things, usually, --and it scares the hell outa my little brother, Sammy, he’s 5-- I mean, sometimes it feels like if I wasn’t there, they would have been over with a LONG time ago.... %~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~% “...and she was so sweet about it, not one trace of pity in her beautiful eyes or sweet voice. I don’t know why I told her all that, it just, sorta, came out. You know, I get to call her Bunny--” and Darien was cut off. “*I* think you’re in love.” Andrew suddenly blurted out. “N-nani?!” “I SAID--” “I know what you said! I-I am NOT in love...it’s-it’s just a.. a crush.” “Yea, a three year crush! Mr. Stutter. Just face it, Dare, you’re hopelessly, and totally, head over heals, in love with the lovely Serena Aarons.” “Uh, w-whatever, Andy. I gotta go, ja ne.” Darien stood from his stool and walked out the door. “Yup, he’s definitely in love.” %~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~% Serena walked into the Crystal Tokyo Mall and headed straight for Forever21. When she walked into the store, her four mall-crazy friends were picking out shirts and shoes. “Hey guys, I miss anything?” “Hey Bunny.” Lita said, from the other side of the room where she and Mina were looking at bell-bottoms. Serena waved. “Nope, not really.” Raye answered her question. “So, how did your meeting with Darien go?” Amy asked, looking through a shirt rack. “It went really good, Darien’s EXTREMELY nice, and not to mention- he’s majorly hot.” she said and Raye laughed, nodding her agreement. “Majorly isn’t a word, gomen ne,” Amy said and Serena rolled her eyes. “and you better get shopping before Mina and Lita decide to buy the store.” Amy suggested with a laugh. “K.” she said and walked over to a clothes rack. “I’ve never shopped that much in my entire life.” Serena said. “Ditto.” the other four agreed. “Chikusho, it’s 8:45 already!! I was supposed to be home 3 hours ago, my father’s gonna kill me! Gotta go, bye guys, see you tomorrow!” Serena said and started to run home. They said bye and went their own ways. %~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~% “Dammit, where is she?!” John Aaron’s, Serena’s father, yelled. (ANH: Was anyone else sick of the name Ken?) (ANS: YES!!!!) “I don’t know, but I’m sure she’s fine, just calm down.” Debrah Aaron’s, Serena’s mother, said. “Don’t tell me to calm down when my daughter is probably out there with some boy doing something she’s not supposed to or getting chased down by a f*cking gang!” “Ok, I didn’t mean anything by it! Why do you ALWAYS take EVERYTHING I say to you so offensively when I’m only trying to help?!” At that point, Serena walked in the door, going completely unnoticed by her parents. “I don’t have to, everything you say to me IS offensive!! You talk to me like I’m some sort of mental maniac!” “Maybe that’s because you ARE!!” “F*ck the hell off, bi--” he was cut off. “MATTE! Just...damare, onegai!!” Serena yelled, tears already streaming down her face. “You both sound like a couple of 5 year olds, always fighting over nothing! FOR HYOURIN’S SAKE, GROW UP!!” she ran up the stairs and into her room with a loud slam of her door. Serena wiped off her tears and started to put her new close away, when she heard a soft crying coming from Sammy’s room across the hall. She picked up a small, white bag off of her bed and walked into Sammy’s room. He looked up at his big sister sniffling, “Why do they have to fight so much?” he asked and she sat down next to him. “I don’t know, but it’ll be alright. They’ll get some help from a good doctor and they’ll be happy again.” she said smiling, holding in her own tears. She gently wiped the tears from his cheeks and pulled out a Sailor Moon Manga, “I gottcha somethin at the mall.” she gave the comic to him and his eyes widened. “OH WOW! Sailor Moon Manga, number ten!” he said and snatched the comic from her, she laughed and ruffled his brown hair. (ANH: Lie, the girls are NOT scouts and no one is a super hero, but that doesn’t mean that their can’t be Mangas!) “Save it for tomorrow, coz you gotta get to sleep, it’s a school night!” she said and put the manga in his bookbag. She leaned down and kissed his forehead then turned off his lamp. “Oya-sai, Bunny, aishiteru.” “Aishiteru, Sam, now go to sleep!” she stepped back into her own room finished putting her clothes away. “What to wear, or what not to wear, THAT is the question.” Serena thought aloud to herself, looking at two outfits: 1. Black flares, a grey/silver, v-neck shirt, and a black, half-sleeved, button-up sweater. 2. Beige, 3/4 cargoes and a nevy blue tube top that stopped just above her belly-button. *KNOCK KNOCK* “Come in!” she yelled and her father opened the door. “Daddy, which outfit do you like better?” she asked and he pointed to outfit number one. “That one, you’re more covered up with that one.” he answered and Serena laughed. “Well, whatcha need?” “Oh, um..gomen ne..for last night.” “Hm, it’s NOT ok, but I’m glad you apologized...apology excepted,” she said, hugged him and kissed his cheek then started to push him out. “out, I have to get dressed or I’ll be late!” she shut the door and started getting dressed, putting outfit number two on her chair for tomorrow. Serena rushed down the stairs, grabbed a piece of toast, slipped on her boots, and was about to run out the door when she heard Sammy’s voice call, “Bunny, matte! Okaa-san said you gotta take me today!” he said, running down the stairs, his huge bookbag pulling him down. She smiled and took the bookbag, “Ok, let’s go.” they walked out to her silver Mitsubishi Eclipse that her grandparents had gotten her for her 17th birthday. She pulled up in front of Crossroads Elementary and helped Sammy out with his bookbag, “Sayonara Sam, be good and have a nice day. You want me to pick you up after school?” “Um..I wanna go to the arcade first, then I’ll call you from there.” She smiled and nodded, kissing his temple, “Ok, here’s 10 bucks, and if you can, try not to spend it all on junk food, k? Ja ne.” with that she drove off to her own school. Serena smiled proudly as she saw that she had gotten to school right on time. (ANH: Have you noticed that I don’t like the idea of a klutzy Serena OR the meatballs OR a stupid Serena, all of those things drive me up the walls!! I mean, whenever I read a fic and it says Serena bumped into someone *this someone is ALWAYS Darien* and fell flat on her ass with a loud thud or whatever, I feel like...like smashing something!!) (ANS: Shari, SHUT-UP, they’re TRYING to read!!) (ANH: Hehe, gomen...) “Hey, Bunny.” Serena heard Lita’s voice behind her. “Oh hey, Leets, what’s up?” “Tsumannai.” she whined. “Hm, where are the girls?” “Umm..Raye’s over by the gym flirting with that Chad guy, Mina’s complaining to Mr. Chamberlin, the English teacher, about a grade she got on a test, and Amy said she needed to--” “Study.” Serena finished and the two girls laughed. “Well, looks like it’s just us today, come on!” she said and lead Lita to the cafeteria. They sat down at a table, outside, under a cherry blossom tree and started chatting. Mina came up and sat down with them, a frown on her face. “Hey Mina, what’s wrong?” Lita asked, Mina just gave a low ‘hmph’. “Well, did Mr. Chamgerlin change your grade?” Serena asked, Mina nodded and held up the test paper: a big, black F written over a red C-. Serena and Lita broke out laughing. Mina frowned further, “This is SOO NOT funny, bakas!” The two girls only laughed harder. Mina stood up, crossed her arms, and put her nose up in the air. “Well, I don’t have to take this, I’m leaving.” she said and Lita pulled her back down. “Gomen ne, gomen ne.” Lita said, as she and Serena wiped the tears away from their eyes. “Apology excepted...I guess.” Then, Serena felt someone slip their arms around her waist. She looked over shoulder to see Josh, resting his head on her shoulder, she smiled. “Hey babe,” he started and kissed her cheek. “you wanna meet me at the park, Man-Getsui Pond, after school?” he asked. “K.” she nodded. He smiled, “Good, ja ne.” he said before he kissed her on the lips this time, then walked back over to his friends. Serena turned back to her friends, who now had knowing smiles on their faces. “Aaaaaww!” the two said in unison and Serena rolled her eyes. “Just eat your food.” %~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~%~~% Darien was walking down the park’s trail when he spotted Serena on the fountain bench, writing something in a notebook. He was about to approach her when Josh Evans walked up, sat down next to her, and kissed her full on the lips in, what looked like, a VERY heated kiss. Darien stood there, speechless, staring at the still embracing couple. He felt as though he might even cry. He finally tore his eyes away from the scene and walked slowly back to his house, head hanging low. _________________________________________________________________ Sorry to make y’all wait so long for this chap, we were at a total writer’s block and Shari was trying to finish “Moonlit Angel”, which she did and if you haven’t read it...READ IT!!
