"Serena!" She could hear the woman call for her shortly after the phone rang.

"Coming!" She called back as she and her best friend, Mina, ran to see what the she wanted.

Ever since Serena could remember, her family had always gone over to the Dawn's house for Christmas break. This year Serena went over earlier than the rest of her family. They claimed they had to get a few more things and do some quick last minuet shopping. They gave Serena a choice to go ahead or stay behind with them. Of course she chose to go ahead with her friend and help prepare for the Christmas dinner.

"Ma'am?" Serena said as she and Mina walked into the room. Mrs. Dawn looked at her daughter than to Serena with sad eyes.

"Serena... I have some bad news," Mrs. Dawn began. "I think you may want to sit down."

"Okay." Serena said as she and Mina each slid down into a seat at the table.

"What's wrong mama?" Mina asked, hurt already coming to her eyes. She new it had to be something bad if her mom looked that way.

"Um, well, Serena, "Mrs. Dawn said taking Serena's hand. "your parents aren't going to be able to make it to diner to night. And it might be that way for ever."

"Mrs. Dawn, I'm 13... just tell it to me straight. Instead of making it longer and harder." Serena said squeezing Mrs. Dawn's hand.

"Okay." Mrs. Dawn said with a faint smile she started over. "On their way up here, your family got into a car accident. Your brother and father died instantly, but your mother has internal bleeding. They don't believe that she will even make it till morning. She was hardly able to even give them the info to contact us."

With that Serena let the tears she was holding back come bursting out as she ran up stairs. Mina gave her mother a sad look before running up stairs after Serena.

That was two years ago. Serena was now standing out side on her balcony. It was a dark night and she felt, as it the darkness was wrapping around her body like icy death slowly squeezing her should into the depths of hell.

"Serena." Some one softly called knocking lightly on the door leading out to the balcony to get her attention. "Its time to eat."

"Okay." Serena replied and turned to fallow Mina down stairs. They took their seats at the table and waiter for some one to speak.

"Honey, don't you have something to tell the girls?" Mina asked her husband.

"Uh… yeah! Of curse, I almost for got. Well, girls, I've been transferred. So… well, be moving by the end of the week. And you two will be starting a new school when its time to go back from Christmas break." Mr. Dawn told them.

"WHAT?!? We're moving!?!" The two exclaimed, both surprised and excited.

"Yep, we are move around where you used to live, Serena. So you may know a few people." Mrs. Dawn added.

After the Death of Serena's family, the Dawns took her in to live with them. Serena soon started school with Mina. Every one who didn't know them miss took them as sisters. It was only because they both had blond hair and blue eyes. Plus the fact that they went everywhere together might make some one think they were. Serena adapted quickly to the new school just be find out 3 years later she was moving *back* to her old town. She hadn't been back since she had moved. She didn't have many friends back at her old school. She was sort of a geek.

"Will be going to the same school I would be going to if I was still there?" Serena questioned.

"Yes, we have already ordered you uniforms also." Mrs. Dawn replied.

'Oh great... the same old people.' Serena thought.

"We have to wear uniforms?!?" Mina more exclaimed than asked. "How are we to express our individuality if we have to wear uniforms?"

"You just have to find other ways than through cloths." Mr. Dawn stated.

"Than can we have some money to go shopping?" Mina asked her parents sweetly.

"What do you have in mind?" Mrs. Dawn asked.

"A purse or something like that." Mina said.

More to come… really, really soon. I'm prolly working on it even as you read this. I have it all written down; I just have to work on typing it. ~*~Midnight Princess~*~
