Everything Changes

Chapter One

Serena walked to the arcade in a daze. This was the only place she go. She couldn't go home; her family would just say 'I told you so!' and she didn't need that. Serena looked at the doors for a while. She took put her cell phone, pressed a few buttons and put the phone to her ear. She waited for the person on the other end to pick up. Finally she heard it.

"Hello" the female voice answered.

"Mina, I need you! Will you come to the arcade please?" Serena asked in a feeble voice. She was trying so hard not cry. Her throat was constricting and she was finding it difficult to talk.

"Yea…I'll be right there. Serena, are you okay?" Mina replied, she had never heard Serena like this before and it scared her.

"I'm not sure yet, I just need you to come here"

"Okay. I'll be there in a few minutes" Mina told her.

"Bye" Serena said and hung up.

Serena took a deep breath to try and compose herself and walked through the sliding glass doors. It was early in the morning and surprisingly busy. 'Great' she thought. Her she was seeking comfort and everyone in the arcade was enjoying their day. She stood by the doors and scanned the place looking for a familiar face. Serena spotted him in the booth at the back and started to walk towards him.

Andrew was sitting in the booth going over paperwork for the arcade when someone took the seat opposite him. He quickly looked up to see it was Serena and went back to going over the finances.

"Hey Serena, what's happening?" He asked her, not taking his eyes of the paper.

"Not much, what are you doing?"

"Just going over these. They need to be approved before I send them off" he replied. Andrew's family owned small cafes all over the country, and Andrew and his sister helped run them.

"Oh, okay then. Are you really busy?" she asked in a whisper and looked down at her hands. Hearing this, Andrew immediately looked up and studied her face. She looked upset and he didn't like seeing her like this. He reached over and covered her small hands with his. She looked up at him.

"Are you okay Serena?"

Serena waited before answering him. "I'm not sure yet. When Mina gets here, can we go to the back and talk? I phoned her before I came in and she said that she would be here" she asked with a small voice. Andrew simply nodded and started to sort his papers out.

They sat in silence until Mina showed up. Serena was staring at her hands and Andrew was staring at her. He loved her so much sometimes that it hurt, but he knew she would never feel the same way, After all; she had a boyfriend. He practically knew everything about her. She had always been there. Their families were good friends and he would always be there for her. After about ten minutes of waiting, the arcade doors opened and in walked Mina. Andrew took Serena's hands in his again and led her to the back room, motioning for Mina to follow.

Mina walked in to find Serena sitting on one of the sofas and Andrew getting her a glass of water. She took a step forward and kneeled down in front of Serena.

"Hey sweetie, what's wrong?" Hearing Mina's soft tone, Serena started to cry. Mina was instantly sitting next to her and pulled her into a hug. Serena was shaking and she was forced to take in large gasps of breath. Andrew and Mina waited patiently for her to calm down, while Mina whispered soothing words in her ear. After a while, Serena pulled back and started to wipe her eyes.

"Serena, what happened?" Andrew asked as calmly as he could. Inside he was seething. What could possibly make her that upset? Serena was rarely upset at anything.

Serena took a few breaths and started to tell her story. "I got up early this morning and I was bored and decided to go out for a bit. Everyone was doing something and so couldn't come with me, so I went on my own. I phone Darien last night and asked him what he was doing today and he told me that he was working all day. I didn't think to phone Amy and Lita considering they have been ignoring me for a while" she stopped to think for a bit and then started pacing the room. "So anyway, I went for a walk and somehow ended up in front of Raye's temple. I don't go there unless it's absolutely necessary but I thought I would go and see what she was doing today. When I got to the top of the stairs and started to walk forward I could hear noises, not just any noises, Raye was obviously there with someone" she stopped again and tears were threatening to fall. She was now struggling to get all her words out. "I guess curiosity got the better of me because I went to check it out. The door was open a bit so I had a look to see if I knew him" she was sitting back on the sofa with Mina to the side of her and Andrew sitting on the coffee table in front of her. She had managed to calm herself down, but now she was getting angry. "When I looked I saw Raye on top of…wait for it, this is where it gets good…" she said sarcastically. "…Darien" she spat out his name. Andrew and Mina gasped at this.

"Are you sure it was Darien?" Andrew asked her to make sure she didn't confuse him with someone else. If it was him, he was going to kill him, best friend or not.

"Yea Drew…I'm sure. I don't even know why I am so upset over this. I mean, okay we've been together for two years but for a while now, I've felt like I don't want to be in this relationship anymore" she was angry at herself for crying over him. She deserved so much better, damn him! She got up and started to pace the room again.

"Wow, Serena, what are you going to do?" Mina asked her.

"I don't know yet. Let's see what happens, but neither of you can tell him that I know or that you know" Mina nodded straight away but Andrew hesitated. Serena knew what he was thinking. She went over and stood in front of him, she looked him dead in the eye. "Please Drew?"

Andrew sighed and continued to look into her eyes. He knew that look. She was up to something! He finally nodded his head. She launched herself into his arms and whispered a thank you to him. They held onto each other for a while. Eventually, Serena pulled back and turned to Mina.

"Do you think I can stay with you for tonight? I can't go home, they never really liked Darien anyway and I don't need a lecture off them"

"Sure, it's only me and Matt home anyway. Mom and Dad are in LA for a couple of days. You know how our families are. We can call everyone up and make a night of it, like we used to! What do you say?" Both girls grinned.

A month later

Serena had called a meeting at the temple, supposedly to discuss scout business, but she had other reasons. Just to piss everyone off even more, she decided to turn up late. She stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her body and started to towel dry her hair. She walked out of her bathroom; that was connected to her bedroom and went to her large walk in closet. She pulled out a pair of dark, form-fitting jeans and a black, short-sleeved zip-up hoodie and got dressed. She came out of her closet and sat down at her vanity to do her hair and make-up. She decided to keep it natural. Twenty minutes later, she went back to her closet and pulled out her black Chanel flip-flops with matching bag and sunglasses. Serena walked out of her bedroom and went down to the kitchen where her cousin Lyndzi was sitting.

"Alright love, I'm going out. I won't be long okay. When I get back do you want to go shopping?" Serena asked her cousin. Lyndzi nodded her reply. Serena said goodbye and picked up the keys to her father's new black, Mercedes Benz convertible and walked out the door. She smirked when she backed out of the garage and sped off down the drive of her large San Francisco mansion.

The scouts and Darien were waiting for Serena. They were all getting annoyed because she was late. Raye looked as if she was ready to kill. Mina had her back against the temple wall with her arms crossed over her chest and a grin on her face. Serena had called her earlier to tell her what she was doing.

"I can't believe she is late to a meeting she called herself! I can't take this anymore, she is the leader and she is so irresponsible. She doesn't take anything seriously!" Raye yelled. She was furious. She felt a strong hand on her shoulder and turned to face Darien. Mina rolled her eyes at them.

"Raye, we all know how you feel, but there's nothing we can do about it. Like you said she is the leader and we need her no matter what she's like" he tried to calm her down, even though he was angry himself.

"Maybe she has an explanation for why she is late" Amy said, annoyed herself.

"Guys calm down, I'm sure she'll be here soon!" Mina told them calmly with a slight smile.

As if on cue, load music could be heard coming from the entrance of the temple. Everyone got up to investigate and gasped at what they saw. There was Serena sitting in the driving seat of a Benz convertible with Spanish music blasting out of the speakers. Mina grinned at this and ran down the stairs to greet her friend.

Serena turned her head slightly to see everyone staring at her and internally smiled. She switched off the engine and got out to greet Mina who had just got to the bottom of the stairs. They smiled and gave each other a hug.

"Are you sure about this Serena?" she asked to make sure it was what she wanted to do. Serena nodded, linked her arm through Mina's and they started to climb the stairs.

Everyone had gone back to their seats to wait for Serena and Mina to come back. They were all shocked. Where did Serena get that car? And why was she listening to Spanish music? Everything was silent until they heard Mina laugh at something that Serena had said.

"It was nice of you to show up" Raye said sarcastically. Serena just glared at her.

"Is that any way to greet your leader?" Serena replied in a mocking tone. Mina giggled by the side of her.

"What leader, surely you not talking about yourself? You're no leader. Every time we were in battle, you would just whine and someone else would have to take charge. You couldn't even take care of your own problems; you took them to someone else" Raye screamed at her. Serena didn't even seem fazed, she merely blinked in response. "You need to grow up!"

"I am grown up Raye, you're all just too stupid to realise. I never asked to be Sailor Moon. I don't want to go around risking my life, never knowing whether I am going to die. I dealt with it the best I could, while lying to my family. None of you actually took the time to get to know me. None of you understood me. It just makes it easier to walk away from all of it" Serena told them all calmly. Darien made a confused face.

"What are you doing Serena?" he asked her while moving forward. She turned around and stopped him with a glare.

"I'm doing what I should have done along time ago. I'm quitting. All I have ever wanted was to live a normal life without the damn scouts getting in my way" she started to take the crystal out of her pocket and tossed it to Raye. "You can keep this, although you can't use it. I no longer need it. You are now in charge Raye"

"What are you talking about Serena?" Raye asked her. She never thought that she would do something like this. She always thought that Serena was too weak to stand up for herself.

"Isn't this what you always wanted Raye, to be leader? Now's your chance" Serena replied. Lita was getting annoyed with how calm Serena was acting and decided to speak up.

"You can't quit Serena, you have responsibilities! Just stop with this bullshit and let's get this meeting over with!" she yelled and Amy nodded.

"Yeah Serena, you talk about how you're grown up and now you're trying to run away from all of this. Think about the future! And Rini!" Amy was also screaming now.

"You want me to think about the future? What future? The way I see, there is going to be no future with Darien screwing Raye behind my back!" Serena grinned. She heard them all gasp.

"You knew?" Lita asked in a small voice, without looking into her eyes.

"Of course I knew, how stupid do you think I am? I can't believe that you two knew as well and never told me" she yelled. Raye was dumbfounded and Darien had turned pale. Serena laughed. "You thought you were being careful huh?" Darien was suddenly brought out of his daze and tried to reach out for Serena. "Don't touch me!" she screamed.

"Serena, I'm-" however she cut him off.

"Save it Darien. You're not sorry. If you cared about me, you never would have cheated in the first place. It's done. We're over. You and you're bitch can stop sneaking around now!" she said and walked towards her car. Mina and Darien both ran after her; however Darien stopped when he saw Andrew standing near the car. He stared at them.

"Drew? What are you doing?" he asked in a shocked tone, as he watched Andrew kiss Serena's forehead and give her a hug. He whispered something in her ear and she nodded.

"Sorry Dare, but I'm with Serena on this one" you could hear the venom in his voice.

"But you're supposed to be my friend!" he shouted. How could Andrew do this to him?

"Yeah, well you were supposed to be her boyfriend! Things change Darien. I hope you're happy with your decision!" he motioned his head in Raye's direction. She had started to make her was down the stairs now along with the others.

Serena pulled herself out of Andrew's arms and tossed her bag in the backseat of the car. She stood in front of Mina, forgetting that the others were in earshot.

"I am now officially out of the scout business" she said weakly. They stood in silence for a while before Mina launched herself into Serena's arms. They held on to each other for few minutes before letting go.

"Do you really have to go?"

"Yeah I do. It's time I ended this anyway. But hey, it's not as if we'll never see each other, we're practically related!" they both laughed. They gave each other one final hug and then Serena turned back to Andrew.

"Justin is in the house. Do you want to come to mine for a bit?" she asked him and he nodded. Andrew opened the passenger door and got in. Serena was about to open her door when Lita stopped her.

"Wait! That's it? You're leaving just like that?"

"What did you expect Lita? I caught him screwing around with Raye behind my back. And then I find out that you all knew too! You all turned you're backs on me, now I am doing the same to you" she told them all, got in her car and zoomed off down the road. They all stood there speechless as they watched her car disappear.

"So, how did it go?" Justin, her cousin, asked as soon as they walked through the door.

"Good" she replied. Andrew and Justin looked at each other and raised their eyebrows.

"Okay then, what happened?" Andrew asked her.

"I basically told them to shove their friendship up their asses and that I wanted nothing to do with them anymore" she mumbled and looked towards the floor. Justin noticed this and pulled her in for a hug.

"Don't worry Rena! You did the right thing" he told her gently. "And hey, now you can move on and have no more secrets!"

"Yeah I know, it's just, it still hurts though" she whispered and held on tighter.
