The New and Improved "The Story Of Us"

DC: Don't Own Sailor Moon

AN: Ok If You read "The Story Of Us" before, it's a lot different now so don't go away just yet. Now the magic of this story before kinda left me and you in the dark so I've decided to scrap it. Now I have a totally different layout and story form. This is basically the ups and downs of a relationship. Now I've read a lot of stories and some of those story ideas maybe be visual in this story but don't hold it against me. Well I'm going to try this story one more time and I want you to tell me what you think. Should I keep it or scrap it all together. Other news. My Story "The Mistress Of The Dark" was originally under two parts but because I was updating and getting no new reviews I decide the problem might be that the summary of part 2 had no clue as to what the story was about so I've put them altogether under one part. I think that's all so let me start writing.

Serena sat at her desk waiting to get home to Darien. They weren't married *yet* but they were going out to dinner and she was hoping he'd pop the question. Serena Quinn

A reporter for the New York Times and a storywriter. This whole terrorist thing was frenzy at the office and she was tired of writing stories on it. She had told her boss that she had already done a month's worth and if she had to write about another poor family or dead person she was going to quit. The boss was Ami Anderson and she was very understanding so she assigned Rei Grant to the story. Serena now reported Anthrax cases. Like it was any better but Serena didn't complain since Anthrax stories didn't run everyday. Oh she just hoped Darien would pop the question and soon. She wasn't going to be young forever. She had to strike while the iron was hot. Children was that iron. She was in her prime and she wanted children. Darien's Children that is even if she had to do it without him knowing. Now she didn't want to trap him in a marriage just because she got pregnant with his kid. Now if she was a greedy little *itch then she might but she wasn't. She was being offered a position as a news anchor in Chicago and if Darien didn't commit soon she just might take it. They had already got her a ticket that she could use anytime. She kept it in her purse. Now Serena had a rich background and her father was already willing to get her an apartment with furniture and everything if she just said the word. Sometimes people would tell her that Darien was just after her money but most of the time they were jealous of her for having Darien. Now it's not that Darien didn't have any money, he made good money as an auto-mechanic but he was also pursuing his education. He was in school to be a pediatrician and he would make better money. Now Serena didn't really have that money. She was to inherit it after she was married for ten years with at least two offspring by the same man. Now her father wanted her to have the money but he wanted her to have a family to spend it on like he did. But he was on her beck and call if she needed money so she wasn't worried about money. She was writing a story on the Toys For Tots thing. It wasn't a very long story but she was supposed to write something. Serena had already packed a bag so when she did take the trip to check out the Chicago station she would be prepared. She looked at the clock. Almost time to go. Just another half-an-hour and she would be home free.

Darien unlocked his door to find it wasn't locked. 'Serena must be home' He thought. He opened the door to find a candlelight dinner set out and chicken in the oven but no Serena. He smelt the faint scent of vanilla, Serena's perfume, and he saw a trail of rose petals. 'Hmmm what's she up to' he thought. He was taking her to the starlight room where he was going to propose to her. He followed the trail to the bedroom where the door was slightly ajar. He pushed it open and had a cocky grin on his face as he leaned against the doorframe but it wasn't Serena that greeted him. "What the hell! Beryl Harper! What are you doing! Get off my bed! Put some clothes on! Close Your Legs!" Screamed Darien. "Oh Darien, don't play hard to get. I know you want me" Beryl Purred. Beryl crawled over to him and wrapped her fingers around his belt buckle as she undid it. Darien tried to push her away but she was persistent. Just then a door opened and shut and he heard her angelic voice call out and he knew that his life was over. "Darien I thought we were going out to eat-" said Serena as she approached the bedroom and halted at the sight in front of her. "Oh My God" said Serena as she bolted from the room. "Serena it's not what you think" said Darien but to late she had already ran out the front door but she had stopped in the closet first. But in a strange sense Darien knew that he had lost her all because of Beryl. He would hate her forever. Serena was probably going to her fathers place. He would give her time to cool down then maybe she'd let him explain. But first he had to get rid of Beryl, a customer who had hit on him and she must have thought that he liked her. But all things together he felt that his life was over.

Serena hailed a cab. "To the airport please," said Serena. She couldn't believe she had been so stupid. Ami had let her off early and she only came home to find Darien with some woman she didn't even know. Well at least it wasn't a friend of hers he was sleeping with. She wondered how long it had been going on. Maybe the girls were right. That he was just using her for her money. Her heart was broken and soon hardened at the thought of what he had done to her. She wouldn't allow any man back into her heart now and Darien Shields was the cause.

 Serena walked through the metal detectors with no problems. When she finally got to the desk she was close to tears but she had to hold them back. "How may I help you?" said the attendant. "Um I have a ticket to Chicago that I can use anytime and I want to use it now" said Serena. "You're in luck we have one seat left in first class. Would you like to take it?" asked the attendant. "Yes that's fine," said Serena as the woman stamped her ticket. Serena headed to the boarding area. Finally she was on the plane. She was lucky to grab her bag for this trip. After the plane took off she couldn't hold it inside anymore. She was balling in tears. The lady beside her looked concerned. "What are you crying over?" said the lady. "Nothing" said Serena. "Nothing doesn't seem like nothing to me. I'm Rita Jenson," said Rita. "Serena Quinn" said Serena. "Now tell me what's wrong," said Rita. Serena had to tell somebody. Why not this nice woman. "I came home from work early only to find my boyfriend with someone." Said Serena between sobs. "When did this happen" said Rita. "A few hours ago. I found them and hopped on the first plane to Chicago. I have a job offering there as a news anchor" said Serena "You're that Serena Quinn?" asked Rita. "Huh" said Serena. "I'm Rita your co host on the news," said Rita. "Anyways, you didn't even give him a chance to explain." Asked Rita. "Explain!!! She had her hand down his pants," said Serena. "Here's my number. I want you to have dinner with me and my husband Andrew one day now that we are going to be hosting together. I hope we become really good friends," said Rita as the plane landed.

Serena checked into her hotel room and headed right to the phone. She dialed her father's number. "Hello" said Ken. "Dad" said Serena Meekly. "Baby, what's wrong" asked Ken and Serena told him the whole story. "Well I'm going to take this job and I won't be coming back at least not for a while." Said Serena. "I'm gonna get you that apartment I promised you with furniture and new clothes. I won't let this ruin your life," said Ken. "Ok daddy. I gotta go ok." Said Serena "Bye-bye sweetie" said Ken "Bye daddy" said Serena as she hung up the phone and she lay down and cried in her pillow.

Darien dialed Ken Quinn's number because Serena hadn't called him yet. "Hello" said Ken "Hello Ken" said Darien "That's Mr. Quinn to you Shields. Why'd you call here? I know what you did to my daughter and I'm going to let you know that because of you she went to Chicago to take that Job and she isn't coming back. Goodbye and good riddance" said Ken and he hung up. "Serena's gone," said Darien to himself and that feeling he had before just got stronger.

Ok what do you think? Is this better than before? Should I continue? You be the judge! Ok I have something to ask you. I was reading this story and since FF.Net took away favorite stories I don't know what story it was but I really want to see if it's updated but I don't know the title. It was about Darien dumped Serena and then Serena learned she was pregnant and then she met Seiya and they got married and she had a son named Endy by Darien and Seiya learned that Serena wasn't the perfect angel he thought she was because she wasn't a virgin and he abuses her. Well if you know wha story that is than please tell me cause I'm dying to read it some more. Oh Yeah Please Review Me!!!!!
