Author Note: Hey you guys, I would like to give a heart-felt apology to every one about the last chapter of my last story. I really don't have any idea what happened to it, or how to restore it. I'm really pissed about it, but what are you going to do. So I decided that I would start off on a new slate, and try a new story. So here it is and I hope you like it.

Some Thing New
Chapter1:
Serena looked out of the car of her window, and looked at the beautiful landscape and breathed in a deep sigh. This is what she lived for, she thought thinking about her life. She hade a blue mustang convertible, and a blonde lab for a dog. They didn't live in an apartment, they lived on the road. And she loved every minute of it, she thought looking at buddy who was sitting in the passenger seat of her car with his head out the side of the car just blowing in the wind. She worked for a company where she got to travel a lot. It was her job to go to these different cities, and survey the people. Sometimes it was about marriage; sometimes it was about teen sex, or sometimes how many pets a person has. Wherever these book authors got their statistics, they came from Serena. She was the one who did all the dirty work asking people the questions, which is not as easy as it seemed.
But any way, Serena was on her way to Phoenix. She was going to be surveying some kids who went to college in that area, and see how many kids got scholarships to that school.
'Ring, Ring' Her phone went off.
"Hello." Serena asked.
"Hey its me." The other person said.
"Hey Lita. How are you doing." Serena asked.
"Oh, I'm good. I'm just getting some reading done for one of my classes." Lita said. "Where are you driving right now?" She asked curious
"I'm on my way to Phoenix to do some more surveys with college students." Serena said.
"Sounds like fun." Lita said.
"Yea, some of the time. But this kinds of stinks, we're kind of in the middle of no where right now." Serena said looking at the desert that just seemed to never end.
"Well, rest assured, you will be there soon. And you have buddy to keep you company." Lita said trying to comfort her.
"I know, but it still does get kind of boring. But I do have my ever so famous CD collection with me." Serena said.
"Did you happen to take my favorite mix CD with you?" Lita asked.
"No, why do you ask?" Serena said kind of laughing.
"Well its seemed to have disappeared." Lita said kind of in a questioning tone.
"Fine, maybe it slipped into my CD case by mistake. But I will have it for you when I get back." Serena said.
"I know you will, and if you don't then I can always make another one." Lita said.
"Well, we're about to stop at this gas station. So ill talk to you when I get back on the road." Serena said.
"Ok Serena but,… you know I'm really sorry about what happened right." Lita said.
"I can't talk right now, bye." Serena said hanging up the phone before she started to get teary eyed.
She hated it when people kept bringing it up, the same subject she couldn't bear to talk about. It just hurt her way too much to even think about it. So she decided this would be the perfect job for her, she didn't have to be anywhere but with her car and dog. There was no drama on the road, no problems. Just her, and that's the way she was going to keep it after what had happened.
Serena finally made it into Phoenix that night at about 9:45. She never did call back Lita. She didn't want to talk to her, or any one from there for that matter. But she especially didn't want to talk to him. For he had hurt her in a way that could never be fixed. But she was over it, or trying to be over it.
Serena walked up to the front desk at the motel she was checking into for the night. There was no one there, so she rang the little bell on the desk. Still, no one came so she rang it. And then she started to like it and she kept ringing it again and again until another hand snatched it away. She put her hand to her side in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry that I was absent for the second." The tall and very handsome man said.
"Its alright." Serena said to him, but then realized that she found him really attractive and then tried to stop thinking it.
"My name is Darien." He said trying to be friendly.
"My name is Ms.Tsukino." She said trying not to open up at all.
"Don't you have a first name." He said trying to be funny.
"Not to people I just meet, and don't know." Serena said.
"Well, Ms.Tsukino do you have a 1 night reservation." He asked.
"No, I'm supposed to be here for the next few weeks." Serena said looking very seriously to his face.
"Ok, let me look you up really quick." Darien said typing on the computer really fast. "Ok, I think I just found you." Darien said. "So, Serena Tsukino you will be here for the next 3 weeks." He just smiled at her cause he saw her first name.
"Yes I will." She said rolling her eyes at him.
"Well, here are your keys Ms. Serena." He said holding her keys out for her.
"Thank you." She said snatching them out of his hands
"I will look forward to seeing more of you. And I guess I will if you're going to be here for the next 3 weeks." He said smiling because he was going to see this unbelievably beautiful girl for almost a month.
Serena walked out of the lobby, and back to her car. She was a little mad, but still felt a little weird. She was attracted to this guy, but he was 1 working at a motel, and 2 he was irritating. But she still felt this strong attraction to him non the less.
And after all that she had been through, she didn't even want the species of men to exist. She even considered being a lesbian after what Seiya had done to her. But she ust figured that she would heal with time.
"Come on Buddy." Serena said to her dog, as she let him out of the car, and she got her luggage out of the car also. Serena walked up a flight of stairs, she thought that she had asked for a room on the ground, but she really didn't want to get into it with that guy. So she just sucked it up and took the upstairs room. She opened the door, and it looked like an ordinary room. It wasn't any different then any other motel she had been in. As soon as she went in, she put her stuff down. Locked the door, and plopped on her bed and just fell into a deep deep sleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
Serena woke up, and saw her dog sleeping on the other bed that was next to hers. She looked around, and then remembered that she was in Phoenix doing more surveys. She sat in her bed, and grabbed the remote, that was next to her bed on the table and started flipping channels to see what was on. The good thing about her job was she could start when she wanted to. And end when she wanted to. The fact that she had 3 weeks to do this made her lazier when it came to getting it over with. She did have to meet a student who was going to be tour guide through the city while she was there. He was going to be meeting her at a coffee shop near the school. So she had to meet him at about 3o'clock. Then he was going to escort her to the school, and take her to some of the different activity clubs that met at the college. So she just decided that she was just going to take a shower, and get the not so fun part out of the way.
2 Hours later
Serena was finally ready, she always took a really long shower. She was wearing a pair of blue jeans, a white tank top, with a blue plaid short sleeve shirt on the outside. She put on eyeliner, and black massacara. She got her purse, and told her dog that she would be back in a couple of hours. She went back to the main lobby to find that same very fine, young man at the desk.
He got a big grin on his face when he saw her. "Good morning Serena." He said trying to be friendly.
"Hello Darien." She said trying to keep her composure, it was hard though cause he was really really sexy.
"Well, how may I help you this really nice morning." He said still smiling.
"Well, I need directions to a coffee shop near Phoenix University." Serena said looking at him still really seriously.
"I think I know the one your talking about. But I'm about to head over there any way, you could follow me if you want to." He offered.
"Well," she said pausing. She didn't know if she should do it, it might give him the wrong impression if she were to do it. "We're not going to end up at your apartment are we." She said making a small joke, opening up a little bit.
"No." He said with a laugh.
"Well, I have to meet this person in about 15 minutes." She said looking at her watch.
"Well I'm going to be off in like 5 minutes if you don't mind waiting." Darien asked her.
"No, ill just be in my car. It's a blue mustang." She said walking towards the door.
"Ok, ill be out there soon." Inside he was rejoicing. Maybe this person he was supposed to meet would be really late and he could get to know Serena little bit more.
Darien was a pretty good driver, unless he was a little bit to happy, or just really excited. And at the moment, he was really excited. So he was kind of changing in and out of lanes, and just not being the best person to follow. But they finally did make it to the coffee shop.
Serena got out of her car kind of pissed off. "What, did you really not want me to follow you here. You were driving like you were out of control." She fumed walking over to his car.
"I'm sorry, I'm not all that used to people following me. So I…I'm just sorry." He said looking down at the ground. He didn't want her to be mad at him; he was just starting getting on her good side.
Serena could see that she had kind of hurt her feelings. "Its ok, really it is." Serena said trying to convince him.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yea I'm sure. Thank you for taking me over here, I really appreciate it." Serena said waving goodbye and walking towards the coffee shop. He locked his car, and ran up next to her.
"So who are you meeting here?" He asked her.
"I'm meeting a college student, who is supposed to be my guide." Serena said.
Darien started to smile, the biggest smile ever.
"What?" Serena noticed as he opened the door for her.
"So, when do you want to get started?" He asked her.
"What are you talking about?" Serena asked him with a big questioning look on his face.
"Well, I believe that I am supposed to be showing you around the town, and college." Darien said.
"Are you kidding me, I think this is a big mix up." Serena said not wanting to believe that he was supposed to be her guide.
"Well, I'm supposed to be getting a lot of credit points for it. So you better believe it." He said.
Serena started to walk back to her car. "Lets go. "Serena said kind of defeated.
"Alright, do you want to take 2 cars, I know how much you dislike following me." Darien said trying to be funny.
"That's really ok. I don't like driving in cars with people that I barely even know." Serena said opening her door to her car.
" Ok then, don't be mad if you get lost because you can't keep up." Darien said.
She paused for a second."Get in." She said unlocking the other door. "I swear if you try to do anything, you will be very very sorry." Serena said, trying to put the scare in him. But not really working, he kind of just laughed.
"Alright, where to." Serena said looking at his really good looking self in her passenger seat.
"Ok…" He started telling her how to get down to the college. "… and then you make a right at that light right there." Darien said pointing ahead.
Serena turned onto the street, and she could see the campus perfectly. It was really quite beautiful. The campus had a really big yard, and it also had a fountain in the middle of it.
It had kind of random benches placed everywhere. It was just really pretty and serene.
"I know, everyone reacts the same way when ever they first come here." He said smiling and looking out of the window.
"Well, I've seen prettier." She said trying not to act to impressed.
"Well, are your ready to get started?" He asked her.
"Yes I am." Serena said looking out the window. It would be an interesting trip, and 3-week period. But she was kind of looking forward to it, she did get to hang out with the surprisingly really good looking guy. Hopefully he wouldn't disappoint her. She would just have to wait to find out.
