Serena stood in utter shock as Darien walked away from her. The wound was still fresh in her heart as she played back the words in her mind.I don't love you anymore!...That was the past, I want to live my own life free of destiny.We are through! Serena could feel the cold tears running down her face but she ignored them, the pain of his words and actions were like a dagger in her soul. Her entire world seemed to end at that moment. Everything she had ever dreamed of was slipping out of her fingers. Weren't Darien and she supposed to live happily ever after? She remembered the dreams of the past, and the many times she had spent with him as Princess Serenity. Those were her favorite memories. He was so loving and caring. She had to admit he did act somewhat differently than he used to act towards her as Endymion but then again she was different too. True she was a bit more ditzy at times and less than regal but deep down inside she was still Serenity.
The rain started to fall and the cold raindrops rapidly brought her back to reality. Serena wrapped her coat around her and started to walk back to her house. She forced all of the painful memories from her mind and let the rain wash the ache from her. Maybe he was right? She did act like a child at times but she thought he found that cute. The more she walked the more she thought of what she had done up to this point. Maybe she should give him space. It would give them both time to think on the situation and maybe he would come back to her. She could still have her dreams till then. As she made her way home a loud clap of thunder crashed and instead of jumping in fear Serena just walked on, she was so deep in thought she never noticed.
The next Day Serena got up before her alarm clock and started her normal routine of rushing and yelling when she looked at the clock and realized how early it was. "This is a first!" With a decisive grin she decided she was going to give her parents a new reason to be amazed by her. Sitting in front of her mirror she started to do her hair in its usual bun when at the last minute she took it all out and instead put her hair in a high ponytail with a braid. Happy with her new look she put all of her books in her bag and started to walk downstairs. The sound of her family chattering away over their breakfast was abruptly stopped as they saw Serena sit down and place some cereal in a bowl. Serena tried not to laugh. "Sammy, can you please pass me the milk?"
"Okay, who are you and where is my sister?"
"Very funny Sammy, now please pass me the milk or you are going to be wearing it!" Sammy just laughed and passed the milk.
"Yup, that is good old Serena. She must have hit her head this morning or something."
"Dear is everything okay? You did come home yesterday soaked. Are you sure you aren't running a fever?"
"Mom I am fine. I just got up early today." As if on cue the loud footsteps of Rini running down the stairs caught everyone's attention.
"I beat Sere."
"Morning Squirt."
"What!!!! You can't be up this early. You always sleep in! And what did you do to your hair!?" Serena picked up her empty bowl and patted Rini's head before grabbing her bag.
"I decided it was time for a change. I am going to school now. Have a good day!" With a quick wave and hug for her parents Serena walked out of her house leaving four very confused people behind. "Irene, that was our daughter right?"
"I guess so dear. I think maybe reality finally hit."
The school day was a strange yet uplifting day for Serena. She enjoyed not having to run all the way to school and took in the sights as she made her way to school. She even had a few stares as she walked into school and made her way to Mrs. Haruna's room and took her seat before the bell rang. Mrs. H stopped reading her agenda and just stared at Serena as she took out her books and papers.
"Good Morning Serena."
"Good Morning Mrs. Haruna. Can I ask a favor of you?"
"Yes?"
"I would like to start a fresh. If you would make a list of all the things I have missed or didn't finish I would like a second chance at finishing them. I promise I will work my best."
"Serena, I am sure I can help. Just see me after class." Serena nodded and Mrs. H looked at her agenda with confusion. Serena asking for homework? The world was going to end or she was finally going to get a steady date.
By lunch time Serena had passed two quizzes, stayed awake through all of her classes and even answered some of the new material right. She was feeling so much better. This school stuff wasn't that bad. She found that it really felt good to get something right and get recognized for it. Serena sat down to her lunch and instead of inhaling it actually enjoyed it. In a notebook she was writing down all of the work she had to do when Lita and Amy both came up behind her.
"Hey Serena, everything okay?"
"Oh, Hi guys! Yeah I am fine. Just looking over some of this work I have to make up." Lita and Amy shared a worried look before Amy was on the ground pulling out her computer and Lita was checking her temperature.
"Nothing abnormal about her energy."
"No temperature. Maybe she hit her head on something."
"Lita! Amy! I am fine I swear. Just because I am taking in interest in my studies doesn't mean I am sick or possessed by some negative energy."
"Sorry about that Serena. It is just that Rini told us how you and Darien were fighting. We figured you were going to be upset and we were worried about you." Amy could see a lone tear go down Serena's face and quickly it was wiped away.
"Yeah, we did fight, but I agree with him. I have been the helpless baby too long. True in the past we were lovers but we are different people now and I have to accept that. If he wants his space I will give it to him. He is my friend first and I respect that more than anything. If we are meant to be together we will. We made it to the present didn't we? What is a few more years."
"Well, as long as you are alright. Hey I made some of those dumplings you like you want one?"
"Do you really have to ask Lita? Just let me clean up these papers."
Darien sat in class and he kept seeing Serena's face as he told her he wanted to stop seeing her. Damn those dreams! They had come every night for the last week and that voice kept telling him to stay away from Serena so she wouldn't get hurt. Last night the dream wasn't as clear but it was still there.
"Mr. Chiba.Can you tell me what I just said?" Darien looked up to see most of the class staring at him. He was turning into Serena!
"I am sorry Professor, I lost track of where I was."
"Just don't let it happen again." As the teacher started the lecture again Darien decided he had to talk to Serena. At least to see if she was okay.
Serena was walking home and found herself humming some song she had heard on the radio. In her arms she was carrying most of the new books she had to read and her bag was on her shoulder. She never realized how heavy books could be but she kept going. As she was walking by the arcade she looked in the window and was contemplating going in but as she looked at the pile of books in her arms she realized that it was impossible. She had to get this stuff home first. Her bag kept slipping from her shoulder and Serena tried to move it back up without loosing the books but with no luck. Finally giving up she turn her body against the glass door to get some balance but the door swung open causing her to loose all of her books. "Damn!"
"I am so sorry let me help you!" Serena recognized that voice and looked up from the ground to find Darien pulling her up. "Serena?!"
"Hi Darien. Don't worry about it that was my fault I was the one leaning against the door." Darien picked up the books and handed them to Serena.
"What are you doing with all of these books?"
"Catching up on work in school, I am a bit behind."
"Oh."
"Well, I think I should go, I need to get these books home and start reading."
"Serena.is everything okay?" Serena turned around and surprised herself when she found herself honestly smiling.
"Everything is a-okay. I am not upset Darien and you were right. Maybe we should just be friends. We make our own destinies." Serena jumped up and quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I really have to go but don't worry about me okay?"
"You're really okay with this?"
"I am going to have to be won't I. Anyways, we have our whole lives ahead of us. It is a shame to rush things and not enjoy them. Cya later Darien. Have a great day!" Serena waved goodbye and she felt a great weight lift off of her shoulders and soul. Things would work out for the best. She would always miss him but she at least had his friendship.
In the park Rini was playing by the lake with her friend Keiko when she felt a chill ran up her back. Looking around she noticed none of the trees moving and it was close to spring anyway. Brushing off the feeling she turned around to find that Keiko had run off into the gardens and Rini was about to go after her when she started to feel funny and as she went to look at her hands they were fading in and out of existence. What was happening!!! Before she could call for help Rini had disappeared from the Park.
