Star-chan: I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!

Neko: Quick! HIDE!

Star-chan: Shut-up, you dumb muse!

Neko: No thanks, I'm fine.

Star-chan: Anyway, since I've gotten so many wonderful reviews, I've decided to write another Avril songfic.

Neko: Meaning, she's trying to get more reviews and her Harry Potter story has 4 total, one for each chapter!

Star-chan: SHUT-UP!
DISCLAIMER: Star-chan: I don't own Sailor Moon. Or "I'm With You".

Neko: Smarter people like Noako and Avril get all the luck, don't they?

Star-chan: They probably have better MUSES is all.
*I'm standing on a bridge.

I'm waiting in the dark.

I thought that you'd be here by now.*
Serena stood alone, looking at the stream trickling beneath her and thinking. Thinking was not something she often did seriously, which could account for Serena not having enough sense to seek shelter from the pouring rain. She had, however, absent-mindedly noticed that the sun had set long ago.

Serena's thoughts and questions raced and twirled through her mind, making their own wild dance. Questions circled in an ever increasing pace, resembling a cyclone. Once every few seconds, a question would pop out, then be sucked back in the spiraling tornado.

'Why must I fight?'

'Why can't I be normal?'

'Where is he?'
*There's nothing but the rain.

No footsteps on the ground.

I'm listening but there's no sound.*

That question caught Serena off-guard. Who was she expecting? No one else had enough brain cells absent to walk through a park in the middle of downpour, right? Besides, the only man she'd want to find was: one, smarter (much smarter) than her; two, Serena also did not want to meet him.
That's right. Darien Shields, her only love and her tormentor. Half of the thoughts in Serena's tornado were about him.
*Isn't anyone trying to find me?

Won't someone come take me home?*

Serena felt the now-familiar pang of pain she felt when she thought of Darien. Serena clutched her heart and gritted her teeth, sweat now mingling with rain on her forehead as the pain steadily increased.

Why doesn't he care?

Why can't he *care*?

Sometimes, Serena felt that she didn't, more like shouldn't, know him as well as she does.

*It's a damn cold night.

Trying to figure out this life.

Won't you take me by the hand,

Take me somewhere new.

I don't know who you are,

but I'm, I'm with you.*

Suddenly, a blanket of silver seemed to settle over Serena, silencing the cyclone. Serena screamed through the silver, feeling as if her nerves were on fire. She could sense eyes of ocean color stare at her, both familiar and not at the same time. Darien's eyes. She was no longer alone.

*I'm looking for a place.

Searching for a face.

Is there anybody here I know?*
His eyes disappeared. Suddenly, faces raced through Serena's head. Some she recognized, many she did not. Serena collapsed and screamed louder as bursts of pain tortured her body. Salty tears poured down her eyes, mixing with rain and sweat.
*Cause nothings going right,

and everything's a mess,

and no one likes to be alone.*

The world seemed to tilt and buckle.

Why does everything go wrong?

Serena shrieked louder, the pain becoming unbearable. Suddenly, it all was gone. The pain had disappeared, but silver light still burned her eyes. Serena was alone again.
*Isn't anyone trying to find me?

Won't someone come take me home?*

Tears still poured from Serena's eyes, much like the unrelenting rain. Her throat was raw from her screams. The cool night air slowly started sinking into Serena's skin.

Where is everyone?

Aren't they worried?
*It's a damn cold night.

Trying to figure out this life.

Won't you take me by the hand,

Take me somewhere new.

I don't know who you are,

but I'm, I'm with you.*

The silver blanket retreated as, finally, the footsteps Serena had waited for sounded, louder and louder. Using whatever strength she had left, Serena lifted her head to stare into shocked, clear blue eyes.

*Oh, why is everything so confusing?

Maybe I'm just out of my mind.

Yeah, yeah, yea.*
Darien knelt next to the shocked girl, his eyes never leaving hers. Serena realized the rain no longer hit her as Darien's umbrella covered her. One clear thought stood in Serena's head.

I must be crazy. That light really affected me more than I thought.

*It's a damn cold night.

Trying to figure out this life.

Won't you take me by the hand,

Take me somewhere new.

I don't know who you are,

but I'm, I'm with you.*
Without saying a word, the couple stared at each other. No words needed to be said. Serena was rejoicing inside. She wasn't alone.

*Won't you take me by the hand,

Take me somewhere new.

I don't know who you are,

but I'm, I'm with you.*

Darien seemed to recover his wits and asked roughly, "Are you alright?"

Serena simply smiled and managed to whisper though her sore throat, "As long as I'm with you."

*But I'm, I'm with you,

I'm with you,

I'm with you...*

Star-chan: Very different, wasn't it?

Neko: I don't get it.

Star-chan: I'm surprised you understand anything.

Neko: HEY!

Star-chan: Thank you to all the reviewers of "Skater Boi". REVEIW, PLEASE!!!!
