Chapter 1: Memories
Serenity Tsukino sighed as she stared up as the rain fell. It had been raining all day and there was no hope that the sun would shine. She had no umbrella and was wearing a black tank top and short jean shorts. She had no shoes on and her hair was down, plastered to her back. She couldn't help but look back on her childhood. The memories that hurt her. She and her family had moved to England because of her father's job as a lawyer. She missed Tokyo though. Serenity felt a tear fall as she remembered that last day.
Little Serenity, Serena for short, looked at her parents in shock. She was 8 years old but seemed too wise for her age. "We're leaving?" Her mommy answered. "I'm sorry Serena. Daddy has been offered a better job and it's the only chance we have to get a better life." Tears threatened to overwhelm her. "But what about my friends? I don't want to go!" Her daddy gently pulled her into a hug and rubbed her back as Serena began to hiccup. "I'm so sorry Moon." Moon had been her father's nickname for her since she was little. At that moment, Sammy began to cry in the next room. He was barely one. Her mommy left to go take care of him. Serena looked at her daddy. She looked the image of a dirty angel. She had her hair up in buns with hair trailing out of them. Her blonde hair looked dirty and her eyes were a dull blue. She was short for her age and looked like a nymph. "Can I tell Rei and Ami and Mina and Lita?" Her daddy smiled. "Of course Moon. We'll be leaving tomorrow. Mommy and I will pack your things." Serena smiled and wiped her cheek where a few tears had fallen. "Thank you Daddy." Then she ran out in nothing but a white sundress into rain that was pouring down.
Serena ran as if her life depended on it to Rei's shrine. She slipped a few times on the steps, scraping her knees. Finally she made it to the top. She ran toward the door, not realizing how wet she was. She stopped short of the door as she heard her name. It was Rei's voice. "No don't call her! Serena won't want to be around you guys. You know she don't like you guys." Then she heard Darien's voice, her worst enemy. "If you say so Rei but you'd better watch out." Serena bit her lip as she heard 4 squeals of laughter. Apparently, they didn't want her around. She tried to recall all the times she had been with the girls. They had acted nice but now she the pity they had always had in their eyes. Her shoulder's slumping, she backed into the rain, tears streamed down her face and mixed with the rain. She turned and ran from the laughter of 4 boys that she hated and 4 girls she thought were her friends.
As Serena ran, she didn't look where she was going. She bumped into someone and fell. Serena couldn't hold back her sobs. A boy who looked to be about 10 gently picked her up so that she was standing on her feet. He looked worried. His blonde almost silver hair was plastered to his forehead and his dark green eyes held a bit of worry. "Are you okay? I didn't hurt you did I?" He had a London accent as he stumbled over Japanese. Serena opened her mouth and spoke in great heaving sobs. "My friends don't like me and I'm moving away and now I don't have anyone to be friends with." The boy smiled and held his umbrella over her. Serena looked up at him with awe. "I'll be your friend. I'm Tranquility but you can call me Travis. What's your name?" Serena gave a little smile, her eyes sparkling. The tears gave an almost serene look. "I'm Serenity but everyone calls me Serena. Are you from London?" Travis nodded with a smile. "I'm going back tomorrow." Serena giggled. "I'm going to London too! My daddy got a job there. He's a...Law...Lawyer." Serena struggled with the word and smiled when she finally said it. Travis smiled. "Would you like me to take you home Serena?" Serena nodded and began skipping down the sidewalk. He smiled and gave a small laugh as he thought,'Looks like God does send angels to those who need them.'
The next day, Serena stared out the window as they began to drive away from their house. The rain was still falling. Tears also streaked Serena's face. As they passed Rei's shrine, Serena gave a small wave and then turned around. As the car vanished around a turn, 8 children that looked to be about 9 or 10 came running down the steps shrieking in laughter as they played in the puddles.
Serena had done better in school once she had left Tokyo. She had turned out to be the top of her class and had started taking college classes at Harvard when she had been 16. She was now 19 and had graduated the top of her class a few days earlier. She had gotten a degree in law. Her father had been proud of her and had had a party for her. Serena purposely took her thoughts away from Travis. She had had a relationship with him when she had turned 15. They had gone steady for a year when out of the blue he dumped her. It still hurt. It didn't help that he was close with her father and had saved her from rape with one of her previous boyfriends. Her father had given her a chance to work for his firm but she had turned it down. She had unfinished business with her past. She was going to get even with them all for once and for all. Not to mention she needed to get away from Travis and her ex. Her ex was trying to come back into her life. Travis was trying to get her to marry him. Serena sighed and turned back to the manor her parents had bought that was in the country. She padded quietly back inside and up into her room to pack. She gave a smirk. At least they didn't know her real name. Laughing softly, she began to pack.
