Okay first things first... I'm kind of going out of my range here... so this story WILL take some time! It's pretty hard to write a story about something thats never really happened to me before... so I can't really relate to it. This was actually one of the FIRST EVER fanfics that I had tried to write when I was like 9 or 10... I was really depressed... so thats why it kind of has a sad mood to it. I don't own SAILOR MOON! I just want to get that out there! I have like 16 chapters of this already written by hand (from when I was like 10) and now I'm typing and editing it.


I'm currently in summer school right now for English... yes I failed first semester English! okay!? lol but anyways I don't really have much time any more cuz my class is over next week and that following weekend I leave for Paris to visit my Grandma and for my half sister's wedding. I'll try to update more near the end of the summer when I have more time.

Thanks for reading!!!

Preface

Think of a time when you were a little child.

A carefree innocent little being, that just wants to eat sweets and play with their friends.

Now take all of those memories and plaster them to the front of you mind. Make it the only thing that you can only think about day and night. For most people it's hard… but for Serenity Sophia Roberts, it will most likely be the only thing that she will have left of her young life.

Her memories consist of her and her two best friends: Molly Willow and Amy Anderson. The three girls have been lifelong friends, ever since they were in diapers and only met because their mothers are also lifelong friends.

Amy is the oldest being born on February 7th, Molly on March 19th and Serena on the last day of June the 30th. The girls have all gone to the same school with each other and they have been in the same classes, too.

They would always constantly talk about the future and what they would be doing as a career.

Amy wanted to be a Doctor, just like her mother Dr. Anderson.

Molly wanted to be a teacher because she always loved school and she thought that it would be a good career for her since she loves helping others and is a very good student.

Serena on the other hand, didn't really know what career would be a good choice for her. She loves art; drawing and painting are her best fortes in art. She was a natural. But then on the other hand, she could also go for a professional dancer since she had been dancing ever since she was two years old.

Her parents expected so much out of her… but she could only give out so little. It was always hard for Serena, but when her little brother was born, it was like a weight had been lifted off of her shoulders.

Most of the pressure that her parents were putting her under had gone away and Serena was happy that most of the attention had gone to her little brother, Sammy.

Three years had passed and Serena was now 7.

Two more boys had been added to their group of friends when Molly, Amy and Serena were in the first grade.

It was during recess when some boy, a bully from the third grade, came and started to pick on Amy just because she was smarter than him. Molly and Serena jumped in hoping to get him to go away, but it didn't work. It just fed more bait to the bully.

Soon enough two boys, also in the third grade, came over to help the three first graders.

Andrew Shaw and Melvin Walker were pretty much the 'popular' boys in their third grade class and Melvin is Amy's cousin. So they got the bully to stop and apologize to the girls and that is how Serena, Molly and Amy became best friends with Melvin and Andrew.

Over the years, Andrew had become something like an older brother to Serena, always there for her and very protective of her. Serena's father adores Andrew and knows that Andrew would be nothing more than a friend to Serena.

Andrew's parents own the Crown, a diner and video arcade. It's Serena's favorite place to go to just hang out with her friends, play some video games and drink a double chocolate milkshake while doing so. She started going there every day after school during her 8th grade year of junior high school.

This was the year when she had met one of Andrew's closest friends and now Serena's mortal enemy: Darien Shields.

It was because of Mr. Shields Serena stopped going to the Crown every day after school to get her free milkshake from Andrew. Instead she went either two to three times a week… depending on her detention schedule. When she had the 4:30 detention, it was considered the perfect time for her to go to the Crown, since Darien wouldn't be there.

When Serena got to high school, everything had changed. She was convinced by Molly to go out for Crossroad High School's Pom Team and ended up making the cut. There was no JV Pom Squad… no one really made any big deals about JV, and the Poms only performed at the Varsity Football and Basketball games, they also had dance competitions too…and Crossroads was so far #1 for the past five years and it was going to stay that way. And because of Serena making the school's Poms team in ninth grade, freshman year… it gave her some unwanted popularity.

Everyone in the school knew who she was and there was always a crowd of people trying to sit with her and her friends at lunch and people following her in the halls on her way to class.

It was weird but she was happy that someone else had taken most of the new found popularity away from her. But what didn't make this so happy was that it was Darien Shields, the new Varsity Football starting Quarterback. Andrew was also on the team, a starting Wide Receiver.

Serena was an A student so she didn't have to worry about keeping her grades in check so she could stay on the Poms. Practice was every day after school from when the bell rings at 2:10 and ends around 7 that evening.

Andrew's shift at the Crown starts around 2:30 and it ends at 6.

So because since she didn't get out of practice until 7, Serena just fully stopped going to the Crown every day.

Serena had made some more friends that ended up joining Molly, Amy and Serena's little group of friends.

Serena met Mina Rosco on the Poms team in tenth grade. They became quick friends because of how much they have in common. Fashion, music taste, etc! They have two classes together: Fashion and Gym.

Raye Clarkson was in Serena's French 2A/2B and honors biology class. They were lab partners the whole year. That's how they became good friends and also because they sat next to each other in French and wouldn't stop talking the whole time in French.

Lita Milky (I had an art teacher name Mr. Milky so I decided to use it! Lol) was in Serena and Amy's math, history and home economics (cooking) class.

Things took a wrong turn during the girls tenth grade year. During the middle of the year, Molly was in a really bad car accident with her step brother… and she didn't come out of that car alive.

Serena had become less social for three months, but then started to cheer up again when Amy and the girls were helping her plan her Sweet Sixteen birthday party. They wanted to have it near the end of May, even though Serena's birthday wasn't until the last day of June.

Everyone in the school was invited, even Darien. Andrew had to convince her and when he said that he wouldn't come if Darien didn't go, then that was where she drew the line and said that he could come.

The party was a blast and everyone had fun! The party was held over by the local beach.

Serena and Darien talked and bonded during the party and got to know each other a little bit better than before. Now they are best friends and its all thanks to Andrew and Molly.

At the end of the party the girls had decided to hold a remembrance for Molly and almost everyone there cried. Serena, Mina, Ami and even Andrew cried. Raye and Lita were trying to comfort them but it was Darien that had comforted Serena the most.

Hey everyone!!! okay so I know that I kind of put a lot of detail in here... well I just wanted to get some things out of the way and I wanted to tell you guys how Serena and Darien became friends. It's going to go into a lot more detail in future chapters! And I want to get this warning out there: Some of these Chapters are going to be really dramatic! If for any reason at all, you start crying... don't blame me! I saw wayy too many movies on what this story is about and I just thought that I should write a story that was really sad... but happy sort of at the same time! I'm not going to tell you guys what the story is about yet... but you will all find out in the next few chapters or so!!!

And PLEASE don't forget to REVIEW and tell me what ya'll think!!!

Thanks! :)
