Serena in A Bottle
By Sailor_Moon_21
Chapter 1 "Who's Going With Serena?"
"So Serena, why are you so sad?" "Hi, Andrew." Serena was so spaced out that she didn't notice he was there or anyone else for that matter. "Earth calling Serena, please respond!" "Oh, I'm sorry Andrew. Nothing's wrong, I just won a contest." "What type of contest is it?" "Well, when I entered in it, it was for a two week shopping spree and a concert featuring Eiffel 65, Creed, Goo Goo Dolls, Vertical Horizon, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera." "Well that's great, but why are you so sad then?" "When I got the tickets today with the rest of the rules that's when I found out I can't go." "Why can't you go?" "I have to bring a friend with me. One friend not four." "Which one of the girls likes at least one of those bands?" "None, and the one person has to be a member of the opposite sex, which I don't know anybody who's a guy that would like to go." "I see your problem, but don't you have a best friend that's a guy?" "Not really, Andrew. It's time for dinner so I've got to go." "See you tomorrow, Serena." ~ All her problems or most of them anyway can be worked out with one word, 'Darien'. Now how to talk him into it. I don't really think he needs that much of a push since he's one of her friends. ~
Ten minutes after Serena left Darien walked in. "Hello, Andrew." "Hello, Darien. So what are you doing for summer?" "Nothing really." "Oh, so have you seen Serena lately?" "Why Andrew?" "I was just wondering. She seems to have a lot of free time to herself." "Andrew, how many times do I have to you we're just friends. She doesn't even have an interest in dating guys." "Not true my friend, she's just scared." "Well, if I had father who kept a loaded shotgun in the house, I'd be scared too." "You, know about the shotgun!" "I would consider Serena 'my best friend' and we tell each other 'everything', but we just don't date because of her father." "You're letting her father keep you from having any feelings for her." "I just know that we could never be a 'real couple'." "Oh, well she won some sort of a contest and she's only allowed to take one friend with her and the girls don't like any of the bands that will be playing, but the friend has to be 'of the opposite sex', she just found that part out today." "Who are the bands, if she said?" "It's Creed, Vertical Horizon, Goo Goo Dolls, Eiffel 65, Britney Spears and that Christina girl." "Christina Aguilera. She is Serena's favorite singer. She really likes that Genie song. I would go but her father would probably blow a fuse." "Would you rather her father blow a fuse over someone she didn't really know go with her. And then have that person hurt her?" "Fine, Andrew. I get the point." And Darien walks out to leave. ~ All he needed was that little push. Ha! Ha! Ha! ~
As Darien was walking home he took his usually short cut though the park. To his surprise he saw Serena and she was crying. So he went to see what was wrong.
Darien came up behind Serena and put his arms around her to offer her some comfort. Serena looked up with her tear stained face and said, "Thank you, Darien. I'm fine." As she started to pull away. Darien wasn't going to let her go so easily this time.
Darien had met Serena when she was 12 and he was 14 at the time. And on many occasions he had found her alone crying in the park. Serena now 17 had grown-up a lot since they first met. She had gotten a little taller but she had kept her style the same. Some people would say that the odangos made her look as if she was fourteen, which she hated more than anything in the world.
"Serena, I'm not letting you go until you tell me what's wrong." "Fine! I won this contest that's a two-week shopping spree in New York with a concert at the last few days of the trip. Well, when I got the stuff I found out it's a two person trip not a one. I don't know anyone who would want to go. If I were going to bring one of the girls they would only enjoy the shopping part and not the concert. And I don't want anyone to go who wouldn't enjoy the music." "Who's playing?" "Creed, Vertical Horizon, Eiffel 65, Goo Goo Dolls, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera." "I'd go with you, but your father would blow a major fuse." "My mother says, 'I'm eighteen and I need to do adult things' and that she would cover for me so he won't find out until after. Then all I tell his is I went all by myself; so if you really want to go I'd be happy to have you came along." "You've sold me on the idea and I would be happy to go with you, Serena." Thank you, Darien." Then she gives him a hug and runs towards home, at least a little happier now.
As Serena walks in her father still hasn't come home, yet. Which is working to her advantage right now. "Serena, why are you so happy all of a sudden?" Asked her mother. "I found a friend who's willing to go with to New York for two weeks." "And who's this friend of yours?" "Well, dad won't like it. Darien practically volunteered to go." "Isn't he your boy friend." "No, he's my best friend in the whole world. And if he were my boyfriend I would have feelings for him. He's nothing more than a friend." "Serena, it's not good to lie to yourself like that." "Well, if I didn't have to worry about dad hacking him to pieces with that sword he's got it would be one thing, but dad made the announcement to me and my whole school that any guy who dares to go out with me has a serious death wish. And Darien would like to live a full life." "Oh well, Serena. Don't be scared by your over protective father. You know I would cover for you so you could go with Darien on the weekends. I'm sure he's a very nice boy. I know he wouldn't try to hurt you." "Thanks, mom, but I'm really tried I'll see you in the morning." "Serena, you haven't eaten anything for dinner!" "I'm not hungry. Goodnight, mom." "Serena must be really upset, mom. I wish there was something I could do." "Sammy, just eat your dinner. I have to think of something." ~ She deserves to have a boyfriend. It's not healthy for her to cry like that the time. ~
