Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN Sailor Moon. DO NOT SUE ME!!
Serena was dosing, and with a start, looked toward the beach. Her cousin's were no where to be seen, their towels and beach bags gone from where she had seen them before. Quickly she got up and looked up and down the beach. Serena was so anxious she didn't realize her ankle was throbbing slightly, she looked down and noticed that there was no swelling and when she took a step it hurt slightly.
Just then she saw Christian walking toward her from the tower down the beach. He had noticed Serena's worried frown.
"Are you alright Serena? Shouldn't you be resting?"
Serena's eyes began to tear and her lip began to tremble, "I fell asleep and didn't see where my cousin's have gone.", she hiccuped once. "I don't know what to do!"
Christian put his hand on her shoulder. He fell really bad for her, she obviously was not from around here. But he'd be surprised by how true that was.
"Hey, my pop should be here any minute to pick me up. We can give you a ride to where your staying. That sound alright to you?"
Serena looked uncertain whether she should take Christian up on his offer. She took only a moment to decide, "It won't be too much trouble will it? I'd hate to impose."
Christian grinned, "No prob, but I'm guessing your not from here. Do you think you can remember where your staying?"
Serena grinned sheepishly. "As a matter a fact I do. Do you know where Clarke Road is? I'm staying at one of those housing developments. It's called Twin Oaks."
Christian smiled broadly and then chuckled. "Actually Serena, I live in the development next to yours!" Serena gasped, "Really? That's so great! I'm so glad it's not out of your way!"
"Thank you Mr. Nohara for the ride. I can't believe my luck that your both Japenese too! It makes me not feel so scared to be left behind." Christian smiled and winked at Serena. "Small world isn't it?" The both laughed.
Mr. Nohara looked at his son and Serena and chuckled to himself. Ah, finally a nice Japenese girl for once! Christian told Serena about himself. His mother was Irish and his father Japenese. They had met in Ireland and Christian was born there before they moved to America. He could speak also Gaelic and Japenese. He was going to be a Senior in High School and was working as a lifeguard for the summer to save for college.
Serena talked about what she had done so far on her vacation and a little about her friends back home.
"My family should be home when we get there." As so they were. As the car pulled into a parking space in front. Her cousins where running to them, relief evident on their faces. Jasmine was the one to speak up,
"We are so sorry Serena, we thought you were calling for a ride. We moved to a spot further down the beach not expecting you to wait for us!" Every one was out of the car, Christian and his father were helping Serena to the door. Her mother and brother were coming outside when, just then Mr. Tsukino barged through the door. Serena was a little nervous, but to her surprise he pulled her into a tight hug. Her father was never really affectionate, so it was quite a shock. He quickly let go of Serena and looked up. He seemed to be in a stupor, when suddenly he burst into a huge grin.
"Mike Nohara, is that you?!" Mr. Nohara was in a kind of stupor himself, then he grinned too. "Why is it Casanova Ken?!" Both men laughed, and gave each other great big bear hugs. Christian and the girls were dumbfounded! Serena and Sammy looked at each other in horror. Their dad? Casanova Ken!!
To Be Continued....
Reviews would be appreciated. Until next time, Au Revoir...
