Author's Notes: I read a suggestion from someone. They meantioned how
almost all break-up season stories deal with Serena and Darien's
reunion. I started thinking about that and realized how true it was.
I also wondered why you never learned much about the other scouts. This
is the first in a new series of shorts. All will be connected only
through the topic of the break up and each is from a different scouts'
point of view. I think this might have been how they saw things.

It hurt watching them fight. I know I liked Darien, but seeing
him in so much pain was not something I enjoyed. I'll admit, I was
jealous. Serena didn't deserve him, I thought. But I was wrong. She
deserves him just as much as he deserves her.
She had been so strong. She smiled and tried to act normal.
She failed miserably of course, but at least she tried. More than I
could do. I just wanted to kill Darien at times. How can one man
embody stupidity so well? How could he hurt her like that?
The dream. Yes, he told us about the dream. I feel bad for him
too. The poor guy just doesn't understand how strong love really is.
Especially the true love between him and Serena. At least she figured
it out as well. Now their back together and everything's great.
But I can't forget their pain. They tore each other's souls
out and some body has to remember. The future holds many terrors and
years of trial. They'll fight, and I'll be here to remind them of
their love. They need me and that's why I protect my princess. She's
strong, but she needs me, just like she needs the other scouts. We
have to love and protect her.
When Darien broke up with her, she cried every night. I know
because she called me to talk. She'd tell me everything about him. All
the things he used to do that she missed. All the ways he had ignored
her that day. The conversations always ended with tears. She just
couldn't help it. And I couldn't blame her. But after every one of
those conversations I felt even more as if Darien deserved to be hung.
But then I would talk to him, and know the difference. I knew
about the dream from the beginning. Darien called me after he broke up
with Serena and I had a talk with him too. He told me all about the
dream. And damn it all, he swore me to secrecy. Otherwise, Serena
would have known from day one what was going on.
When we went to the future and met King Endymion, I had a chat
with him as well. I understand now why he tested Serena and Darien,
but sometimes I wonder why I didn't stop it. Why didn't my future self
remind Endymion of the pain he and Serenity endured? After our trip to
the future, I figured out the answer. Endymion and Serenity are closer
than any two people could ever be. And it's because at one point they
lost each other.
While Serena cried herself to sleep, I listened to Darien's
side. And then I would pray. The Fire never told me much, but it told
me not to interfere. I think standing still during the whole episode
was the hardest thing I ever did.
I love Serena and I love Darien. But I love them as my leaders
and I wish them the best together. I just hope they can manage to stay
together. With my help, they probably will.
