Staying Real - Prologue
When Usagi realised that the inner senshi and her love are serious about her leadership, it's the last straw.
Usagi has had enough of all the pain and stress that she's encountered in her life. It's bad enough
that they all did this to her, because sometime after the departure, everything about Usagi changes and they
all find themselves struggling and wanting her to return.

When I, thought I knew you
Thinking, that you were true
I guess I, I couldn't trust
'Cause your bluff time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side
Always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm
After all of the stealing and cheating
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Oh, ohh
Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you're going around
Playing, the victim now
But don't, even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh
After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
How could this man I know, turn out to be unjust, so cruel..
Could not let me see the good in you, pretend to not to see the truth..
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself by living in denial..
But in the end you'll see.. you won't stop me!
I am a fighter..
I ain't gonna stop..
There is no turning back..
I've had enough...

"Grrreat. Fucken.. she's late again!!" Raye yelled out. Her back leaned against the temple's wall and her arms
were crossed.
"Just chillax girl. She called me sometime this afternoon, telling she'll be late..." Mina sighed.
"Did she say anything about why she would be late??" Lita said with a questioning look.
"Well, I did hear in the background a hell lot of yelling. I think she was yelling at her mum because she had a
last-minute call on an important meeting in Paris. Guess that her mum was supposed to be the ride..."
Mina shrugged
"Pffts.. she better get her ass here soon!" Said a very impatient Raye. But before she continued, she heard
laughs that were drawing nearer to the temple, that grew louder with every step. Raye opened one of the doors
slighty and couldn't believe her eyes. There Serena was, laughing into the cell phone. Serena never had one
and Raye was astonished. She quickly closed the door.
"Hello people!" Serena entered and smiled.
"Well hello there missy.. you're late!" Serena just stared at her.
"I know...so what's your problem? I'm sorry, OK?"
"Explain then.." demanded Raye
Serena began. "Well, my mum was supposed to drop me off at the temple but she received an urgent phone call which
required her to fly over to Paris for an emergency meeting. I had no choice but to walk here. But on the
way, I bumped into Taiki, Yaten and Seiya and..."
"YOU WHAT!?" Darien yelled in outrage.
"WHOA! Chill baby. Gees, it's not like I'm gonna sleep with him! We're friends, nothing else." Serena said innocently.
"ANYWAY, before I was rudely interrupted, they kindly gave me a lift but passed by the studios to pick up some
documents. We also passed by the Arcade so I could get a soda.. nothing bad with that ey?" She grinned but
everyone remained silent. (Excluding Mina, who was trying to fight down some giggles) "Mmmkais... what's up all
your asses tonight?"
Raye broke the uncomfortable silence. "Typical. Where's your sense in responsibility? You need it bad!"
"YOU NEED TO LEARN WHEN TO KEEP YOUR MOTHERFUCKEN MOUTH SHUT!" yelled a ticked-off blonde.
"Just calm down Serena.." Mina warned
"I'D SHUT UP IF YOU JUST PULLED YOURSELF TOGETHER!" screamed Raye
Serena walked to Raye, pulled her shirt to make her stand up, and then lifted her up as if threatening her. "Just watch
what you say, you slut. I ain't taking shit from you no more. Whatever you say will never make me do what you want."
With that she threw her back on the floor. Raye was speechless. Nobody knew what to say. This wasn't the Serena
they knew anymore. She was fighting back. Darien got up, walked over to her and grabbed her by the wrists.
"We need to talk." He dragged her away from the group to a more quiet place where they wouldn't be seen. "What the
hell is your problem?!"
"Excuse me? I don't think I get you. What is your fucking problem ey?" She began circling Darien as if she were teaching
a dog tricks. "What is wrong with you!? YOU TELL ME!! YOU HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING TO ME SINCE I ARRIVED!!" At this her looked down her. "Oh comon. Don't fucken lie. JUST ADMIT IT YOU BASTARD!"
"Admit W-What???!" Darien stuttered
"Ok then. Let's say you were with a certain raven-haired girl in bed doing certain things.." And with that Serena started
re-enacting things she remembered the previous night, including sounds. "Oooh Darien.. Yes that's it.. just ride me.."
Serena was now upon Darien pretending to ride him. Darien was just dumbfounded. He pushed her away quickly.
"Shit.. Serena! You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt you. You're my only!! You know that!"
"Really? You're hurting me now! Is that how you want me? Actually, I don't think you want me anymore..AND I DON'T WANT YOU!" As she screamed her heart out, a glowing light surrounded her, without her notice. "YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE DONE FOR YOU! I'M ALWAYS LEFT ALONE. EVEN THE TIME WHEN YOU WENT OFF TO THE STATES. I WONDERED WHETHER IF YOU ALWAYS THOUGHT OF ME EVERYDAY? I GUESS I WAS WRONG TO ACTUALLY TRUST YOU! I HATE YOU! I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOU EVER AGAIN YOU CHEATING SCUM!"
"S-Serena.. please!! It was a mistake!! I really.."
But Serena cut him off. "NO! I WON'T TAKE IT NO MORE! DON'T THINK I WILL EVER BACK DOWN. I'M A FIGHTER!" The light began to engulf her which blinded Darien. "I WON'T STOP! THERE'S NO TURNING BACK NOW! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" And with that, she blasted Darien. The light completely covered her and it shone so brightly that the girls at the temple saw it.
"Oh my.." Mina stared
"Hurry.. we have to see what happened.." Lita said and they all got up to see what all the commotion was about.
Darien slowly staggered back and realised the girl infront of him wasn't a girl anymore. It was a woman, who happened to
be Serena. But she wasn't wearing her casual clothes anymore. She was, however, dressed in black pants that had white
pin-stripes with a matching jacket and black boots. She had nothing underneath which revealed curves of her breasts. Her
hair was much longer, silver-white with black in the layers beneath. (Just think Christina Aguilera!! ^_^) Her face bore an evil expression as if she were not good anymore.
"S-Serena! Is that you?" Questioned a very confused Darien who stared at her to get a closer look.
"Darien? What's going..." The girls rounded the corner to find a different woman there. "Who's this?" They all said in
unison
Upon hearing that, she turned around quickly and only Mina gasped. "Mina dear, don't look so surprised, it's still me.."
Serena smiled
"Is that you, Serena?" Raye seemed stunned
"Why Raye, I'm so glad you noticed.." Serena said rather calmly
"Why are you trying to act as if you're better than me?!"
"Cuz I am, bitch!" Snapped back at Raye "And you'll be happy to know that I happily resigned.." Everyone gasped. "That's
right.. you can thank Darien and Raye to screw with Destiny. There will be no Rini! Ha! Though I will miss you Lita, Amy and
Mina the most. Darien take a hike and you Raye.. burn in hell..."
"HEY! Don't go talking to Raye like that! You have no right!" Darien yelled
"Oh really? I'm flattered to know that I can't talk to her like that. And you shouldn't be going off at me like that as if I were your girlfriend.." Serena chuckled
Raye approached Serena, who was taking out her cell phone, and raised her arm. Serena, who anticipated Raye's moves,
got to her cheek first and left a red mark. "You can't leave Serena.. it's destiny!! You wouldn't dare to leave!!!" said a Raye in tears.
"Oh yeh? Watch me..." But before she could turn around and walk, Raye had blocked her. Serena sighed and just shoved her
out of the way. Raye fell to the ground and just stared at the figure walking down the steps.
Mina was first to break the silence. "Great. Just great. So now what are we supposed to do Raye? Comon.. tell us? You
wanted this so badly so..."
"Just shut up Mina! Let's go inside and talk about this.." Darien said as he helped pick up from the ground. "You think we're
doing the right thing babe?"
"Yeh of course. She's bound to get over this whole thing soon." Both walked back inside the temple
