Your Love
The roaring of music boomed across the park as the fans screamed at their beloved idol who was winning the crowd over once again with as she sang goodbye, but no one knew the real reason for her song except her four closest friends; Amy the genius, Lita the amazing cook, Raye the priestess, and lastly her best friend and make up test buddy Serena. The four of them met about eight years ago when they were battling the Negaverse and now here they are still alive and close as ever as they had finally gotten on with their lives after the last battle three years before. The memories of all the times she had the year after that great battle, when the love of her life returned to his home planet. She sang her heart and soul into the last of the song while she once again thought of him like she did often. After the show was over the petite faced blonde haired girl went back to her dressing room. As she sat there in front of the mirror a gentle tear gracefully slide down her face. That single tear represented everything that had happened over the years first it was the battle with Queen Baryl of the Negaverse, then Wiseman, then the battle with Pharaoh 90, then the battle for Pegasus, and lastly the battle with Galexia that caused her to lose her the guy she loved at the end. She wiped away the tear with a long graceful swipe and began to change into her street clothes.
"Miss, are you ready to go the limo is here."
"Yes I guess so I will be out in a minute."
With one last look in the mirror she turned on her heel and headed for the limo. She walked slower than usual out to the car where she knew the screaming fans would be as she still thought of that silver haired guy one last time before she reached her fans.
On the far side of the galaxy the rebuilding of the planet look as elegant as ever. There were tall red pillars with water flowing over the top of them, silver brick walk ways with carnations on the side of all of them, dozens of olive trees, and beautiful buildings that just make you want to stare at them all day. The princess here ruled this kingdom with the help of her starlights. It was three years ago since they helped save earth with the Moon Princess and her friends. It was here that they called home, but it was also the place where they were away from the ones they love. Princess Kakyuu knew this and was having a hard time thinking about what to do about it until she finally came up with an idea. She walked out to the studio where she knew the three of them would be to give them the news that she had come up with. When she walked into the room everything went quiet as the three of them wondered why she was there.
"My dear starlights I have some news for you, but I want you to make the decision with your hearts not what you feel is right for your planet."
"Princess?"
"Fighter, Maker, Healer, I don't want you to give up on love so that is why I have decided to send you to earth, but you are never to return."
" But Princess our duty is to protect you!"
"I know that Fighter, but I also know you are in love with the Moon Princess."
"Princess you know as well as Fighter does that she has a boyfriend."
"So win her over…win her heart. I want you all to leave immediately and you are going to become the Three Lights again; however, this time there is competition although you will find that out when you get there. Now go my starlights and I wish you all good luck."
As the day awakened a beautiful blonde arrived home just before her parents awoke. As she quietly crept up the stairs she saw the light on underneath her parent's door. Oh what am I going to do I won't make it to my room before they open the door. Maybe I can hide in the living room and quickly sneak up to my room after they are in the kitchen. The blonde just barely made it into the living room just as the door to her parent's bedroom opened. Her heart pounded as her mom, Ikuko, walked down the stairs. Once Ikuko entered the kitchen the blonde ran up the stairs and ran right into her father.
"Serena Tsukino! Are you just getting home!"
"I'm sorry dad I was in the park doing some thinking and time just escaped me."
"Darling what's going on with you?"
"Nothing dad I'm fine."
Serena moved past her father and ran into her room making sure she didn't wake up Luna as she crept in. Ken shook his head and wonder what on earth has gotten into in beloved daughter. He made sure to say something about it to his wife after the kids left for the day.
"Ikuko what do you suppose is wrong with Serena?"
"I'm not sure, but it either has to do with Darien or she just misses seeing the ThreeLights."
"It has to be the ThreeLights since Darien broke up with Serena after I told him he couldn't marry Serena yet."
"Well when she gets home again I will talk to her and see what's going on with her."
Serena walked into the red and orange studio room of her best friend, Mina Aino, who just so happened to be a major idol. As she headed towards the penthouse that Mina lived in above the studio Serena waved Mina's bodyguards away from the room entrance since they knew who she was. The penthouse was done in various shades of reds, yellows, and oranges with the exception of one very special room that was done in a dark blue with tiny gold stars on the black painted ceiling. This was Serena's favorite room and the idol new it; actually Mina had this room specially made for Serena and little did Serena know Mina was planning on having tiny silver crescent moons added to the ceiling. After the room is complete Mina was hoping that Serena would move in with her so that they could finally become roommates like they wanted to many years before. Serena walked down the long orange hallway the echoed with the sound of her stilettos clicking on the cherry hardwood floor. Once she reached the end of the hall she came upon two large golden double doors. She stood directly in front of them and knocked on the door. Mina let out a holler and Serena entered the brilliantly done in three different shades of oranges.
"Mina come on hurry up or your going to be late for your own concert!"
"Chill Serena I'm right behind you and ready to go."
The two made their way out of the building and into the silver limo with orange hearts and a thick red strip going across the middle on both sides of the car. As the car headed down the street; the two were to busy talking about normal girl things that they didn't see three different colors shoot across the sky. Those three colors landed in a secluded area in Tokyo's rose garden. The three colors turned into three men one who had long brown hair who was also the tallest, the shortest one had silver hair and the middle one had raven blue hair. They were the ThreeLights; Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten Kou. The three men headed back to their old studio where they found their instruments covered in a layer of dust. They cleaned up their instruments and began going over all of their old songs when they began to wonder who their new competition could be. They knew that when they were famous three years ago no one was really competition unless of course you wanted to count Michelle Keioh the famous violinist. After playing guess the competition they decided that it doesn't matter they could get on top again, they figured they should call their manager to let him know that they were back again and that the other two should open up the apartment again.
"Aw come on Taiki let me call him." pleaded Seiya
"No Seiya, the last time you called him you two got into a fight over the stage outfits."
"Hey that's not my fault he wanted to put me in purple for god's sake you know I look awful in purple and that red is my best!"
"I don't care Seiya you're not calling him. Now why don't you get a start on opening up the apartment."
"Nah I think I'm going to go find Odango."
Before Taiki could reply Seiya was out the door and Taiki began to pester Yaten about opening up the apartment, but Yaten left as well which left Taiki to do everything himself. Seiya headed over to the Juuban district where he hoped she still lived. He arrived at her house right as the sun was starting to set. He took a deep breath as he headed up the walkway, but when he got to the doorstep the door swung wide open which took the young idol by surprise. Ken looked apologetically at Seiya as he kicked himself for not checking to see if it was his daughter.
"Sorry about that. I was thinking it was my daughter."
"It's alright actually I am here about Serena sir, but I see that she's not home."
"I think she's working late tonight since she's not home now like she usually is."
"I see. Thank you Mr. Tsukino."
Seiya turned and headed back to the studio hoping that the apartment was ready so that he could crawl into bed. As he was about to turn onto his street his cell phone went off indicating it was Taiki calling. He sighed knowing he should take the call even though he wasn't far from where Taiki was.
"What is it Taiki?"
"Seiya I called Stu, but the thing is he died last year. Fortunately though his wife gave me the number of a girl who she said is the best manager anyone could get."
"What's her name?"
"She said that her name was Sere, but she didn't give me a last name."
"Did you call her?"
"No, I figured I'd wait to see what you and Yaten said about getting her to manage us."
"Well we need a new one Taiki and a great one at that if we want to get to the top of the charts again since this time we have competition. What did Yaten say when you told him?"
"I haven't told him yet, I'd figure I'd wait until he got home."
"Okay well I'm walking up to the studio right now. So why don't you give Yaten a call since he's probably looking for Mina."
Taiki agreed with Seiya as he saw his brother walk through the door and head up the stairs to the penthouse, but heard him sigh when he noticed that it still hadn't been opened up. Meanwhile Yaten was doing some shopping at the mall since he figured the penthouse will need a good paint job, new appliances, and they would need new clothes if they were going to even try to get back to the top. He was ordering a new wardrobe for Seiya when his phone went off with Taiki's name showing on the caller id.
"What is it Taiki I'm busy."
"Stu died Yaten. I have a number of an amazing manager apparently if you want to give her a shot."
"I don't care Taiki just as long as we can be number one again."
"Alright I'll call her."
Yaten hung up his phone as he noticed that he was severely in need of a new one. He finished giving the guy Taiki's measurements and then headed towards a cell phone shop. The lady at the door recognized him instantly and went to get him three of the best new phones that they had—the iphone. Pleased with himself he decided to head back to the penthouse when he past a store that sold hair bows; instantly he thought of the young perky blond that annoyed him so much that he started to care for. He shook his head and decided that he should try and find out where she lived, but when he looked in the phone book he found out that she was no longer listed. He let out a sigh and headed for home. When he returned he found the penthouse opened up and looking like they left it; except for a snoring Seiya half on the couch with the other half on the floor.
It was after midnight when Serena and Mina left the concert hall and headed back to Mina's penthouse where Mina had the crescent moons painted on the ceiling while they were out. The whole ride there she was silent making Serena think she was just tired from being up on stage for so long, when she really just thinking of a way to ask Serena to move in with her. It was just after one when the limo pulled up to the studio and the two girls got out with Serena planning to head home.
"Hey Serena listen you know that room that you love in the penthouse?"
"Yeah Mina what about it?"
"I had it designed for you since we always talked about living together and well I was wondering if you wanted to move in tomorrow?"
"Really Mi-chan!? I'd love to!"
"Great Sere-chan. I'll come over tomorrow morning to help you get your things. Do you think Luna would want to come too? I'm sure Artemis wouldn't mind sharing a room with her."
" Ha! You're funny Mi can you see the expression on Luna's face when I tell her what you said!"
"I guess you're right Sere; I'll see you tomorrow morning okay."
"Yep."
Serena made her way up her walkway when she saw the lights go out in the living room. She inserted her key in the door knowing that she will have to face her dad for coming home so late, but she didn't see the point of him getting mad about her coming home so late she was nineteen years old for heaven's sake! Reaching for the handle she took a deep breath and walked inside to find her dad on the steps.
"Look dad not tonight I don't want to hear it. I'm tired and I just want to go to bed so I can get up early and start packing before Mina gets here tomorrow morning."
"Look Serena…Wait pack where are you going?!"
"I'm moving in with Mina. She made a room for me there and she asked me to move in when we got back from her concert tonight and I told her that I would."
"And if I said no Serena?"
"Dad I'm nineteen years old I'm of legal age I can move out with out your permission."
"Fine. Goodnight Serena."
Peeved at how pissy her dad was being she headed up the stairs to her bedroom to find Luna asleep on her bed. Deciding not to go to bed Serena decided to get a head start on her packing. As the sun peaked through her windows that morning Serena had all of her clothes and shoes packed except for her Jimmy Chus, her pink chasmere sweater, her brown pinstriped pants, and her white leather jacket. When Luna awoke she found Serena dressed and a lot of boxes around her. Knowing only too well what was happening Luna jumped down to where Serena sat applying her mascara before she put it away.
"Good morning Luna."
"Good morning Serena. I see that you're all packed."
"Yep. Mina's coming over to help take it to her place. Speaking of which she said if you wanted to you could share a room with Artemis."
"I suppose I should since I am your guardian."
"Not to mention I doubt my dad would allow you to stay here after I said I was leaving."
"Well in that case I seem to have no choice."
"I'm sorry Luna."
"It's alright Serena."
The doorbell rang as Serena got the last box downstairs in the foyer. She smiled knowing that it was Mina ready to help her. She answered the door showing Mina standing there ready to help. Noticing that Serena had all of her things packed and down the stairs already the two started to carry them out to the car when Mina asked her something that she had been wondering about since she got up this morning.
"Sere what about the motorcycle? Are you going to bring it with?"
"Of course I am Mina, I just hope the roads aren't icy."
"You're going to ride it over today! Can't you wait until spring or at least summer!?"
"Nope dad's pissed off about me leaving as it is so I don't want to chance it."
"Ok."
After getting all of the boxes in the car Serena said goodbye to her parents and her brother as she grabbed her purse and Luna. Once outside she handed Luna to Mina and put her helmet on. A few minutes later she was on her bike following Mina in her orange mustang. It was noon by the time they got all of Serena's things into her new room and Serena jumped up and down when she saw the silver crescent moons on the ceiling with the stars. The rest of the day the two spent unpacking her things and getting everything settled. Finally after everything was in its new place Mina showed Serena her bathroom that joined her room. Unlike her bedroom her bathroom was a soft pink with crescent moons around the tops of the walls. The rest of the bathroom was done in white marble. Serena screeched when she saw it and wrapped her arms around her friend. After the two were spent from their long day they decided that it would be wise to just head to bed early so they could catch up on getting out Mina's first cd which would be called "Minako: Goddess of Love and Beauty" only the other girls, Darien, the cats, and the ThreeLights knew that it was true. The two said goodnight and instantly fell asleep once their heads hit their pillows.
At the ThreeLights penthouse Taiki, Seiya, and Yaten had finished fixing up their bedrooms. Seiya did his in a blue that was almost black and he had put tiny silver stars around the boarder. Taiki did his in a dark green that set off his dark oak bed. Yaten had done his room in a maroon sponged look that allowed silver to peak out beneath it. The three were pleased at what they had done with their bedrooms, but were disagreeing on what color the kitchen, living room, and bathroom should be. In the end Yaten had gotten his soft orange color for the kitchen, Taiki had got the light pink for the living room, and Seiya had got the sky blue for the bathroom. The three of them had passed out on the living room floor exhausted from a days work with paint on their faces. Yaten however had forgotten to tell them that the appliances would be arriving around ten the next morning.
