SAILOR MOON AND THE ATTACK OF THE NEGAVERSE (PART ONE)
Serena walked home from school quietly. She had gotten another F- on her test. She knew her mother would not be pleased.
As Serena walked along the sidewalk, she thought of what else had happened that day...
She had seen Darien flirting with some girl after school. Darien usually walked Serena home, but not today.
Serena was concerned. She hadn't gotten a good look at the girl, and Darien was laughing with her and talking to her in a hushed voice. Serena bit her lip. Darien would never do that to Serena.
When Serena was finally home, she tried calling Darien, but the line was busy. This made Serena even more worried. Serena tried to convince herself that Darien was probably just talking to one of his college friends. However, worry still clouded Serena's mind.
Serena could not sleep that night. She kept falling asleep, then waking up. The next morning, Serena got up at 5:00 in the morning. Since school didn't start for another couple of hours, Serena took a walk in the moonlight.
She walked over to a bridge overlooking some sparkling water. The soft glow of the water relaxed Serena. She felt reassured by the beautiful rising sun and the lovely cool, crisp morning air. Darien would always love her, forever and always.
Serena went home, ate breakfast and prepared for school. It was a lovely Friday morning.
Serena stopped by Darien's apartment to see if he was still home. Maybe she could walk a little way with him.
Darien came out of his apartment, pulling on his jacket on the sunny autumn day. When he saw Serena, he gave her a very fake smile.
But Serena didn't seem to notice.
Serena asked Darien if he thought it was a beautiful morning. Darien nodded, his face hidden.
Serena swallowed hard.
Serena and Darien soon walked their separate ways. Serena was feeling very nervous and began biting her nails as she walked into the school.
Serena had stalled on the way there. Even though Serena had gotten up early, she was a few minutes late for class.
"Serena, there you are. Late again, I see..." sighed Ms. Haruna.
Serena just stared out the window and did not respond.
Amy and Mina looked over at her. Then at each other. They could tell something was wrong.
That day at school seemed to drag on for Serena. When school was over, Serena waited outside for Darien to pick her up.
Mina and Amy ran over to Serena while she was waiting.
"Serena is anything wrong?" asked Amy as she took out her umbrella. Heavy rain began to pour.
"Yeah, you looked really distracted today." added Mina as she took out her umbrella.
"Oh...well, I'm distracted every day..." Serena replied with a weak smile. She didn't have an umbrella.
"True, but today you were really distracted," said Mina, smiling at Serena. Serena smiled back.
Serena was so glad she could count on her good friends, Mina and Amy, to make her smile.
Finally, Darien's car pulled up.
"Bye, guys!" Serena smiled, waving. She got into Darien's car and they drove away. Amy stared down at the ground unhappily.
Serena tried to talk to Darien, but Darien didn't seem to want to talk to Serena. This hurt Serena's feelings, so she just stared out the car window.
Darien, who wasn't paying attention to the road, suddenly crashed into a tall building. Serena and Darien were thrown forward. Serena screamed, Darien yelled, and they were both knocked unconscious.
A few hours later, Amy, Mina, Lita, Raye and Rini were all sitting in the waiting room at the hospital, each of them filled with concern.
A nurse walked into the waiting room. "The guests for Serena Tsukino and Darien...er...I can't read that last name...oh, well. The guests may go in to see the patients now."
The five girls got up and walked in to visit Serena first. And they were very shocked by what they saw.
Serena had a broken leg, hundreds of cuts and bruises on her face, and she also had her arm in a sling.
Rini ran to Serena's bedside, almost crying. As the other girls joined Serena, Amy quietly snuck away.
