They've been together since they knew how to speak, but now they are going to be separated with each other...
Darien waiting at the patio of Serena's house and he's looking at the tree where there is a small swing made out of tire. Serena saw him and walked towards him. He didn't notice her coming. So he was surprised when she started talking.
"What you looking at?" She said looking at the direction where he was looking.
"Uhh...nothing...so you're leaving?" He said looking down and playing with his fingers.
"Uhuh. Daddy said we would not come back here, that were staying at L.A." She said not looking to him.
"Oh...ok...how old are we now?" He said now looking at her.
"Well you're a year older than me and you're 10 so that makes me 9." She said facing him. "Why'd you asked?"
"I was just thinking...that if I will be 20 years old and you're gonna be 19, after 10 years...I was thinking we should meet." He said looking at her face.
"Do you think we can still remember that after 10 years?" Serena asked curiously.
"I can, but you can't cause your old then and your memory gonna be rusted and you'll forget about me and your gonna have wrinkles and your going to look old." He said teasingly.
"No I'm not! I'll remember that I punched you when you were 4 and I kicked your butt when you was 7 and I'm not going to have wrinkles because I'm going to be the most beautiful girl in the world and you will fall to your knees because of my beauty." She fought back.
"Ha! We'll see about that after 10 years! Tell you what, how bout the day before Christmas on the 10th year! Then we'll see what you and me like!" He said.
"Ok I can remember that...you're gonna be sorry after 10 years...you will fall for me..." Serena said.
"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!" he slammed his hand at the alarm clock. And slowly opened his eyes and looked at the time. It's forty minutes before nine. "Oh shit!" he jumped from his bed. 'God I'm late!'
Meanwhile...
"Uhhmmm..." she stretched out and looked at the time at her corner table at the right. It's forty minutes before nine. 'Get up Serena! A new day has come!' her thoughts said. And she got up and getting ready for the day ahead.
Darien sits at his chair and stacking some papers at his table. "Yeah..."
"Are you sure? Cause it's like somethin's bothering you man..." Andrew said.
Darien looked up to his friend/assistant. "Actually, I've been having this dreams...about my past."
"What about it?" Andrew said as he sited at the chair in front of Darien.
"Well, I was 10 and I made a some sort of pack...a promise actually..." he was about to tell his friend when the phone rang.
"How bout tell me later after work, by the way we have a meeting with the new model of Crystal Agency." Andrew said as he left the room.
"Ok..." as he picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Good morning to you too, Mina! And yes, fire away!" She said as her manger/friend sited her at the chair to put her on her make-up."That's my girl...well, you have a hectic day ahead..." Mina said as checking her organizer with Serena's schedule.
'What's new? My days are always hectic anyways...' she thought as she was listening at her handler.
"And this afternoon we are going to have a meeting with a publicist at Hard Rock Café." Mina said as she continued. "Then later..."
'Something's missing...with my life...how come I don't know what is it.' She thought absent-mindedly. She didn't even notice that her make-up was already finished.
"Serena?" her friend patted her shoulder to get her attention. "Are you ok?"
She looked a bit surprised when a hand patted her shoulder. "Oh Mina...ah, yes...sorry...what was that again?"
