Konnichiwa Minna! I had an idea for a fic, so I decided
to give it a go. Let me know if you like it, and
I'll continue. If you don't like it, or totally hate it,
let me know that too, so I can still quit and delete it
while I'm still ahead.
The plot will develop as you go along. You need to let
me know if I should continue or not, so please R&R if
you would, please. Arigato! ~Laria
Prologue: Suprises
Serena Kyle ran next door to her neighbor's house. *KNOCK*KNOCK*
"Hey Darien! It's me, open up!" she shouted quietly.
A tousled, dark haired 14-year old boy answered the door, "Serena,
do you have ANY idea what time it is?" he yawned, still in his
pajamas.
"I know it's earlier than usual, but I need to go shopping for my
dad's birthday, and I have no idea what to get him." She explained.
"And what can I do about that?" he asked, still standing in the
doorway of the large mansion.
"Oh, come on! You're a guy, I need a male's opinion." She pleaded.
"You know these things, and plus, you can SURELY help your best
friend in her time of need." She pouted.
He frowned, "Okay, okay, I'll do it."
-I never could object when you gave me that look- he thought to
himself with a slight smile. "Just give me a little while
to change."
"THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" She exclaimed, leaning over and giving him
a huge hug.
"You are now forever in my debt, dear Princess." He replied with
a smirk.
"I'm forever yours, all-mighty Prince." She teased back.

A blonde-haired, 14-year old tanned youth walked briskly
around the sidewalk, noting the scenery. He had recently moved to
this neighborhood.
Then he heard loud giggling. Curious, he followed the noise, staying
out of sight.
There was a gorgeous girl with long strands of blonde hair, lying
on the grass. Beside her, there was a wrapped box with ribbons. -A
gift- he realized. Next to that was an older guy, around his age,
muttering something he couldn't quite make out.
Suddenly, he felt something brush against his hand and yelled out,
exposing himself to the couple in front of him. He blushed,
knowing that he had been spying on them.
The girl smiled brightly, "Hi! Are you new here? I'm Serena Kyle,
and this tough guy over here is Darien Bryan. What's your name?"
He watched her, "My name's Jed Taylor. I just moved here from
Florida with my family."
"How old are you? What grade are you in? Do you know what school you're
going to? Do you have a sibling? Are you an only child?" Serena asked,
bombarding questions.
Darien laughed, "Don't mind her, she just gets a little overexcited
sometimes."
Keeping at her pace he replied with a smlie, "14, going to
9th grade, no, yes, no."
Serena's face lightened as she realized he had answered her in that
exact order, "Sister or brother?"
"Younger sister, 13, name's Mina." he finished off with a slight grin.
"Hey! I'm 13 and Darien is 14." She said with a smile. "Tell you what,
I'm going to have a party at my house Saturday, come and bring Mina."
"Where do you live?" He asked.
"My address is 1237 Emerald Street, but it's the only house with the
fountain in the front. See you and your sister Saturday!" She winked.
Then she waved good-bye, dragging Darien and her gift toward her home.

~~ 2 years later ~~
Serena woke up excitedly, her 15th birthday was today! Darien was
taking her out to dinner, somewhere special. She was extremely
excited! She glanced at her alarm clock once more, dragging herself
out of bed. She changed into a light pink shirt, and blue jeans. She
brushed out hair, pulling it into a high pony-tail. Then, she pulled
on her baby-blue baseball cap, and put on some sandals.
She walked out the door, grabbing a doughnut on the way. She
walked toward the familiar scenery to her boyfriend's house. In
2 years, they had gone from being best friends to "The Hottest Couple"
in town, as her friend Mina had told her, but to her, it meant so
much more than just being a couple. It meant she could always have
Darien to count on, not just as her boyfriend, but also as her best
friend, which he had been first for 11 years.
Serena walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Finding no
answer, she cautiously opened the door. She walked in to find
the huge mansion almost bare. She looked down on the floor to find
a letter with one word written on it: SERENA.
Serena walked out the door, sitting on the stair of the enormous
house. Slowly, feeling a slow sense of dread, she carefully picked up
the envelope, opening it. She pulled out the letter and read it.
* * *
Jed strolled down the street, whistling. Today is Serena's
birthday. He was planning on giving her his gift before the
party. As a special thanks, seeing as she had always been nice
to Mina and him since they moved.
As he walked around the corner, he noticed the now increasingly
familiar hair of Serena, sitting on Darien's front steps, crying.
He ran over to her, "What's wrong, Birthday Girl?" he asked. She
turned around and faced him, her eyes burning hot with tears. He
wrapped his arms around her, trying to comfort her. "Serena,
what's wrong?" He felt her whole body stiffen, and she handed him
a piece of paper. -A letter- he realized, reading it.
Jed felt anger consume him. -How dare he hurt her! She's
the most wonderful, loving, thoughtful, happiest person I've
ever met! Her boyfriend, no her best friend, just crushed her
in so many ways...ON HER BIRTHDAY, of all days! God ... how ...
how COULD he do this to her?-
He wrapped his arms around her, hugging her while she cried in
his arms. Her heart torn into so many pieces. He held her in
his arms, tightly. "I'll be here for you Serena. I promise, I'll
never let ANYONE hurt you, ever again."
==============
Done! What'd ya think? Remember, this is a prologue, a rather
short prologue, but a prologue nonetheless. If I get enough reviews,
I'll take it that you like it or hate it & I'll continue on from
there. Arigato! ~Laria
