Hey! I reposted this chapter because nunnya buisnes was ever so kind and told me that I had started off with Serena and later on changed it to Usagi. I have now made everything into Usagi (if I missed a couple, let me know!). Thanks again to nunnya buisnes for pointing this error out to me! Enjoy!

This is an AU and Darien won't come into the story for another chapter or two. Hope you ENJOY!!! -Lara1786

Chapter One: Bad News

Usagi sat down at the table in the arcade. She was waiting for her boyfriend, but he was a lot later than he had ever been before without calling to tell her why.

"Where could he be? I just don't understand why he hasn't called yet." Usagi thought to herself as she drained the remains of her warm coke. (the coke's warm 'cause she's been waiting for a long time)

Andrew, a tall blond guy who worked at the arcade had been staring at the beautiful blond for the past fifteen minutes. The beautiful girl was wearing a simple Juliet-cut, baby blue dress that just reached her knees. He had noticed that she had gradually become more and more anxious as if she were waiting for someone who was really late. As Andrew was making his way towards her booth, he heard the familiar tinkle of the bell ringing, signaling that someone had entered the arcade. Turning to see the door, he noticed a short girl with short curly brown hair. She glanced around the arcade and made a bee-line for the blond girl, who was already on her feet to address the short girl.

As soon as Usagi had heard the door open, she was on her feet to see if it was Jake, her boyfriend. But when she saw her friend, Molly, enter the arcade instead, she knew that something terrible had happened. Rushing towards Molly, she tried to breathe, but the breath seemed to just not want to make it all the way into her lungs. When Molly met Usagi in the middle of the arcade, Molly reached out and grabbed Usagi's hand. Usagi's eyes were pleading with Molly, trying to ask if - to be sure that everything was all right. But it wasn't, she could tell by the way Molly was cutting off the circulation in her hand.

Molly finally spoke, "Usagi, it's.it's Jake. He.there was an accident.Usagi.he's in the.he's in the hospital.the ICU. They don't think that he's going to make it through the evening." It took a while before Molly's words were processed in Usagi's mind, but once she understood she couldn't breathe. Usagi fell to the floor, sobs wracking her small body. Molly fell next to her best friend and tried to console her. After what felt like an eternity to Molly, she collected her dear friend off the arcade floor and led her out the door.

Tell me what you think. Should I continue with it. You can probably figure out what's going to happen, but you won't find out until I get at least 5 reviews. Please do REVIEW!!!! -Lara1786
