BEFORE YOU READ ! just be warned this is an idea I took from the Sailor Moon movie where Rini gets taken by the Dream lady and Serena has to jump into that big dream ball to save her... haha, sorry i havent watched it in a long time so im not going into detail about her and what not.
Summary: "I love you both the same." Thats what he said...yes you heard right, he said "the same." And what have i ever done to make him love me any other way? I act just like her, I'm just as childish as my future daughter, honestly i believe she can be more mature at times. How does that make me look in his eyes? I'll tell you...he sees her and me as "the same."
Chapter 1: Cookie Monster
Title: From Barbies to Boys

(((((((((( Serena's POV )))))))))))
Ok so maybe they didn't turn out to be just as good as hers. Mine looked better at least, didn't taste like they looked though. That little brat beat me again, but that doesn't matter Darien would love them more. He always loved me best and he would love my cookies best to! Because MINE were made from LOOOOVE ! But I better wrap them and head over to Darien's before Rini starts to put on the water works. Ha like she thinks she could get away with that act, I mastered it long before she was even born.
"COME ON SEREEEENAAA !" hmph...let her try with those loud shrieks...I could do better. But no time to argue with the little spore, it's off to my darling Darien's.
"Alright alright already, keep your shirt on brat." She just glared at me and walked to the door of the house, put on her shoes and softly but oh so impatiently tapped her foot like she had been waiting an hour for me to reach her. Like I said, what a brat.
We were in front of Darien's apartment door before we knew it. Time sure did fly by so fast when you daydream about hot, tall, dark and mysterious college guys whose name was Darien. Rini was more bouncy than I was, knocking on his door then putting on that big smile she only gave to him. Of course I had one as well just for him, but I had to admit the little spore had that cute and adorable look to her...even if I knew she was mistaken for the spawn of satan himself. But I knew for a fact she wasn't because supposedly she was mine and Darien's future child. Oh lucky us. But I can't help but wonder, what if the future could be changed by accident and Rini isn't born. Or if we end up having another child, a boy perhaps? I couldn't help but blush at the thought of having a child with Darien, and just my luck my face would get all red just when he opened the door.
"Serena? Rini? What a surprise. Come in, i'll make tome tea. Serena are you ok? you look a bit flushed, not gettin sick are you ?" aww he was always so caring and sweet, but before I could respond the spawn child spoke and tore his attention from me! The attention I rightly deserved! I was his girlfriend, future wife, future mother of his child and future ruler over just about everything...which gave me EVERY right to his full attention!
We walked into the living room and sat on the couch waiting for Darien to come back with that tea, it would go great with my cookies I made him. Of course so would Rini's but like I said, no matter what he will love mine more. Rini jumped off the couch to play one of Darien's nintendo games he had hooked up to the entertainment center. He bought it so when Rini and I came over we could all have something fun to do. I wonder why he would never play me though.
"Here you are girls, fresh hot tea. Rini said you guys made cookies today, bring any over for me?" Only he wasn't looking at me when he said that last part. Maybe because he knew I wasn't the best cook in the world but I try !
"Yea Dare, but mine turned out waaay better than Serena's. Her's might look better but don't be fooled by looks alone, mine taste so much better." She turned to give me a smug little smile before giving her sack of cookies to him first. I almost thought I would cry when he told her how delicious they were. I knew mine were horrible, but that didn't mean she had to throw it in my face the way she did. Sometimes I feel as though Darien likes her more. Always spending time with her and taking her places, one time he forgot we had a date, skipped out on me because he was with Rini all day. She's just a little girl, I'm the older one...so I don't act it much but...maybe thats why he hangs with her more. Because she acts the way shes supposed to, like a cute little girl...like his daughter.
"Serena? what about your cookies?" Darien asked me staring at me in an odd way. It could of been because I was staring at the wall and being so quiet, he probably expected me to start yelling at Rini for the thing she said about my cookies I made. But to tell you the truth, I could care less at the moment. I knew I had to start acting like a grown up, I can't be playing war games with her anymore, I'm her future mother.
"Oh mine? um...no Rini was right, her's are much tastier than mine. You know how I'm not a great cook. She did a very good job at her's, I'll just go throw mine away." It was hard admitting to it, but I knew I had to start somewhere. And those looks on their faces after what I said, did somewhat make me happy inside yet almost sad at the same time. I stood up and walked to the kitchen to throw away the cookies. When I came back to the living room, I noticed Rini wasn't sitting where I left her. Darien was eating those cookies and drinking tea just looking at some papers in his lap. This was my time to talk to him before she got back wherever she was.
"Darien, where did Rini go?" He didn't even look up at me to answer. "She went to call one of her little friends, said she might spend the night over there and wanted to make sure it was still ok with the girl's parents." Why wouldn't he look at me to talk to me? Was I getting ugly or fat? Did he not think I was worth a little lift of the head?
"Oh, yea she said something to mom about that yesterday." I sat on the couch next to him trying to get close, he's always so distant from me these days. I have so many doubts running through my mind I don't know if I want to ask him now.
"Serena you should drink your tea before it gets cold." Great now he's treating me like a child...maybe I deserved it sometimes but, well I like cold tea as well! I picked up my cup anyways and brought it slowly to my lips, maybe he didn't love me anymore. Could that be the reason for everything? Without taking a sip I set the cup back down on the table and turned towards him.
"Darien I need to ask you something." I could feel my heart just pounding in my chest like it would burst through at any given second. His answer would determine every choice I would make from here on. I just hope those choices will end up being good ones.
"Alright, go for it." He was still looking at those papers...he needs to look at me when I ask him, I want to look into his beautiful eyes as he tells me his answer. So I reached out and softly put my hands on his face and turned it towards me.
"Do you love me?"
Ok so maybe it was a bit forward, and I'm not really a forward-put-it-bluntly kinda person you know? And I could tell he wasn't expecting that either from the shocked look on his face.
"Yes, Serena I love you more than anything." Oh that gorgeous smile of his could make my heart stop if it was possible. He was so beautiful, who knows what I would of done if he had said no.
"Do you love Rini?" Ok keep with the shocking questions, he just might have a heart attack by the time I'm done.
"You know I love her as well, your both so important to me. Why ?" I knew he would say that, for some reason I knew both Rini and I were sharing his heart, but didn't i deserve the larger part? I must of, he had to love me in a different way, in a stronger way. She wasn't even his child yet, she was the future Darien's child. If she never came here from the future then his heart would be all mine, but no I have to share it with that pink spore.
"Who do you love more though?"
I knew it wasn't fair to ask, but I had to know. I had to know how much he loved me compared to her. Like I said, she was just a little girl. But in a way I suppose I was just a little girl to him as well, I wasn't a child, but I was a few years younger than him. He told me he loved me, and I loved him more than anything in the universe, it was only right for me to have a bigger place in his heart. I was the women he would spend his life with, grow old with, and rule with.
"I love you both the same. Serena how could you ask me something like that? You know I love you both with all my heart." His eyes almost had a look of pain in them at my question, great now he thought I was selfish, but didn't I have a right to be? Couldn't I be allowed to want all of his love just for myself? But no matter how much pain he thought he felt, it would never compare to the pain that was going through my body. I could feel a piece of my heart crack, the same? how could you love a child the same as your future bride? It just didn't make since. Did he see her and me as the same as well? Was I just a little girl to him that loved him more than he loved me? Was I just another Rini to him? I saw his lips moving asking me something but I was so hurt and to shocked to hear a word of it. Thats when I felt my eyes start to prick, like tears were coming along. And no these weren't big droplets, loud shrieks following. These were sad, and silent, broken tears.
It was then that Rini decided to come back into the room, not knowing what I had just asked her precious Darien.
"Hey whats wrong with meatball head?" I heard that one though, they all knew how much I hated that nickname, I loved my hairstyle, it was all I had left of my mother. Of course they didn't see it the same way I did. I was to hurt at that moment to just pass it off like I did any other time. And Rini was the object of my anger, so what else could I do but take it out on her?
"My name is NOT Meatball Head, its SERENA! How dare you make fun of my hair, its all I have that reminds me of my mother. At least I wear them with pride." It just came out, the look on both her and Darien's faces were shocked and anger towards me. But what did any of them expect, shes always so mean to me and my boyfriend tells me he loves me the same as his future child. Like I'm nothing but another kid he babysits. Well I was done with being a child, and I was done with the crybaby act. Let him love her, I'll show him what I'm really made of. If its the last thing I do on Earth, I'll show this man I am no child.
"Serena apologize to her, she was only joking." Always coming to her rescue, he ALWAYS took her side over mine! And what could I do? She should be the one to apologize to me, but I knew if I voiced my thoughts it would just turn out sounding like another silly fight. So instead of yelling "no" and crying about how unfair it was, I just stared at him and turned towards Rini and said one thing before walking out the door.
"Be home in time for dinner."
