Correcting a Past Mistake
Prologue
Serena and Darien had been going out for almost four years. Then, about two weeks
before Serena's graduation the girls could tell there was some tension between the two, mostly
caused by Darien, but there had always been little arguments, mostly caused by Darien's teasing
nature, so they didn't think much of it. The two had overcome times that were much, much worse
before, but this time, all of a sudden, they stopped seeing each other. It was just like that. POOF!
Over! There was no clear reason why. Well, obviously the girls had given up on spying on them
by now, and kept their noses out of it, however, they began avoiding Darien, because they saw
that Serena was fairly upset about the whole deal, and pretty much blamed him, though she never
directly said so.
Serena eventually fell in love again and got married. It only lasted for about three years,
though; no children. Seiya was a pretty nice guy, until he'd start drinking. She'd tell him to stop,
and he'd get mad, and she'd nag, and he would lose control, and, well, you get the idea. She tried
and tried until she couldn't take it anymore. She divorced him, but still had a good bit of
self-esteem left , and refused to let her old cheerful, happy self die fully. (Darien was informed of
this via both his and Serena's best friend, Andrew.) All she had was 1 suitcase full of clothes and
another suitcase full of belongings.
And so our story begins.......

Chapter 1
Darien heard a knock at the door, and got up from his reading to answer.
"Um, hi," he smiled at the unexpected sight of a taller, older version of Serena standing
there.
"Hi, uhh, I know this is kind of strange, but could I stay with you for a while?" she asked.
"Well," Darien started. He had actually been praying for the last three days that she would
come to him.
"I mean, I'm not ready to face my parents yet," Serena interrupted, "Ami's in Germany,
Rei's too busy at the temple since Grandpa died, I lost track of Lita years ago and Mina's off
somewhere filming her Sailor V videos. I-I didn't know who else I could come to........There isn't
some girlfriend that'll be, like, jealous or anything, is there?"
"No," he looked at her kind of sadly, "I haven't had anyone since you."
"Oh," she became lost in his gaze.
"Come on in Serena," he stepped out of her way.
They sat down on the couch, and Serena put her stuff on the floor next to her.
"So how have you been doing Meatball Head?" Darien smiled.
Serena never realized how much she missed him calling her that. "Not to bad considering
the circumstances. You?"
"Fine, I guess."
They both bit their lips in the long, uncomfortable moments of silence that followed.
"Say something, idiot!" Darien thought. "You've got the chance again, and this has been
bugging you for years! Ask her!"
"You know what you have to do, just come out and say it! Who knows? Maybe he wants
the same," Serena thought.
"Darien listen," Serena said nervously.
"Hmm?" he turned to her.
"I-well you see," she stuttered.
He could tell where this was leading, "Why did you really come here Serena?"
Darien was about to hear what he'd wanted to for the longest time, but now that it was
really happening it brought back painful memories.
"I'd kinda like to try to pick up where we left off," she said as though he'd think she was
crazy.
"Actually, I would love nothing more, but.......you really hurt me before."
"What?" she said almost insulted.
"I mean you just, like, denied my existence, no note or phone call or anything. You were
there, and then you ignored me, and I never got the missing link."
"I left without giving YOU an explanation? What are you talking about?"
"Well, yeah," Darien defended. "I mean-" he stopped; something in her suitcase caught his
eye.
