Prologue -The Beginning-************************************************
There was a slam of a door and the sound of a woman crying. Serena, who was up in her room leaned against the door to hear better.
She couldn't believe it. Her father just walked out on her mother, Sammy, and herself. Serena eased open her door and crept downstairs. She saw her mother on the floor by the door crying. Serena walked over to her, sat down, and started to hug her. Ilene Tsukino looked at her ten-year-old daughter, put on a brave face and got up off the floor. Serena followed suit. They both entered the kitchen and sat down.
"It looks like dad won't be around to come to your ballet recital, Serena." Ilene stated. "That's ok. As long as you are there I won't mind one bit." Said Serena. She meant it to. She didn't care is she ever saw her father again. She had heard the whole argument and he left for really idiotic reasons. To Serena he appeared to be weak and not be able to handle the job a husband and father are suppose to.
Now Serena was determined to not grow up to be like her father. Serena started. If she wanted to be strong like the great Heero Yuy she would have to train and not do sissy stuff and that included ballet. Serena hung her head. She loved ballet, but if she had to give up as she could train than she would do it. This would be her last recital. She had better make the best of it.

Later in the week, after her ballet recital, Serena pulled her mother over to the side. "Serena baby, that was wonderful. The best dancing you've done yet. You could go far with it. I'm so proud of you." Praised Ilene. Serena sighed. This would be harder than she thought it would be.
"Thanks mom, but I have to tell you.." Serena hesitated. "Go on sweety." "I want to quit ballet and sign up for martial arts." "Martial arts.but Serena." Ilene looked down at her daughter and saw the sheer determination in her eyes. Ilene sighed. "Alright. I'll sign you up first thing tomorrow morning." Serena's eyes lit up. "Thank you so much mom." And she hugged her mother.
