CHAPTER TWO: * Serena sat back in her padded chair and looked out
the plane's window. She watched the falling rain hit the sleek glass. She
could see the dark sky, she wondered if it was safe to rige in this weather.
She sighed ignoring the urge to bang her head against the window, life
wasn't being fair to her and her memories won't leave her alone.
"Passengers, please fasten your seat belts as we
take off, the assistants will be around to help those who ask", a female
high voice pitched voice announced, Serena winced at the sound of her.
She fasten her seat belt and prepare herself to say goodbye to her life.
She closed her eyes, relaxing as the plane's engines rumbled to life, she
felt the plane moving slowly. Opening her eyes she looked out her window
again, her fingers touching the as the world around her moved by, she could
feel the cold glass under her tips and then she looked away not wanting
to see more.
"Goodbye Japan, maybe one day I will return but that
won't be for a long time", Serena whispered sadly, finally when she was
allowed to remove her seat beat she did. She closed her eyes again, feeling
her heart ache, it was trying to think about him again, she pushed his
image out of her mind. Her breathing deepen and then she fell a sleep.
**Dreaming**
Serena found herself in a green meadow by a hillside.
Everything smelled like wild flowers and the sun was beating it's golden
rays on her.
"MAMA!", a voice called, as Serena spun around and
laughed as she saw the sweet bratty Rini. The pinked haired girl was twenty
feet away, smiling at her and waving. Serena waved back and started running
to her daughter.
"Rini!", she called out to her happily, Rini giggled
as quickly ran to the hillside and stood there waiting for Serena. Sudden
Serena stopped in shock, every time she ran towards Rini, the ground Rini
was standing on would quickly get further and further away.
"RINI", Serena yelled at the pink haired child, she
feel to her knees, reaching to touch her. Rini looked at Serena and cried
out.
"MAMA", she called out to the golden hair girl. Rini
also reached out to touch Serena. Serena's tears stained her pale face.
"NOOOOO!", Serena screamed when Rini was to far away
to, see. She began to cry and reach for the spot where Rini had been before.
**
Serena woke up with a gasp and she began to cry into
her hands, how she would miss the little princess, her daughter from the
future.
"Rini", she whispered sadly still holding her face
into her hands, it was then when she felt a hand touch her shoulder. The
image of Darien popped in to her head, she quickly whipped around to find
it was not him. It was a boy, passing her a hanky, saying thank you as
she took it. She wiped her face where her tears had burned her face.
"Thank you again", she said passing back to the boy,
she studied the owner of the cloth.
It was a boy of seventeen years, the same age as
herself, he had short blond hair with think bangs falling over his light
blue eyes with a dark blue outline. He wore a tight t-shirt showing off
the contours of his muscular chest, tight blue jeans and sift gray sneakers.
"You are welcome, I can't stand a beautiful girl
crying", he said smiling showing off his perfectly white teeth, with that
he sat down to the empty seat next to her.
"I probably look all red and puffy", Serena said
feeling embarrassed at the boy had seen her crying, she looked at her lap
not trusting herself to look at anyone. It was then that she felt touch
her again on her chin this time. She felt her face being lifted up, surprised
she found herself looking into his concerned blue eyes.
"Hey don't be so down on yourself, you would look
better if you were happy though", he smiled at her again, Serena found
her face smiling back at him, and for a moment she had the feeling of friendliness
and she could trust him.
"Thanks",she whispered, she smiled back at him. She
blushed a bit. He took his hand away from her chin but she didn't look
down again.
"My name is Serena Lunar, what's your name?"she asked
he shyly, talking to him slowly pushed her memories away.
"My name is Brad Winters, I am going home to New
York after visiting my uncle who owns a huge in Japan", he smiled at her
again. Serena explain that her father had taught her English growing up
and so she was decided that she would join a exchange program in the United
States and that is where she was going now.
"That so cool Serena, I have always thought of doing
that myself, so who are you staying with while you are there?, he asked
her, Serena not remembering, reached in to her purse and pulled out a folded
letter and she quickly read it.
"An Eric and Denise Brownstone, they are suppose
to meet me at the airport when we land", Serena said and he nodded. They
started talking about their favorite thing in the world like, food, tv
shows, super heroes and other things. Finally it grew late and their conversation
stopped, and exhaustion took over Serena as she fell a sleep again.
"Serena wake up, we have landed", a voice called
to her and she felt someone shaking her so gentling. With her eyes shut
she mumbled Darien's name. But when she opened her eyes she remembered
where she was and she remembered Brad.
"What is it?", she asked groggily still half a sleep,
with her hands she rubbed her eyes trying to make them stop feeling so
heavy.
"We just landed Serena, we have to get off the plane
now", he said and he helped her up, they quickly exited the plane. Serena
grabbed her coat before leaving.
Finally she manage to get though the check out and
grabbed her bags off the luggage belt. She started looking for the family
who was taking like heart broken girl in. As she walked around she notice
how busy New York was, cause it this was an airport and it was nearly bursting
with people, image what the city must be like. Finally she spotted a couple
holding up a sign with her name on it, of course it was in the English
language.
Carefully she threaded in and out of the crowd until
she stood before them, she bowed slightly being respectable to the man
and woman in front of her. She then spoke to the smiling couple.
"I am Serena Lunar, thank you for taking me in",
she said in her best English, they continued to smile at her.
"It is our pleasure Serena, we enjoy having a teenager
in our house. Any ways not the only we are picking up today, one our neighbors
too!', Mr. Brownstone said.
"Eric, isn't she so beautiful? I have to say Serena
you are one of the loveliest girls I have ever seen. We are so lucky having
you stay at our place. And you are so polite!", Mrs. Brownstone giggled.
Serena blushed and smiled at the woman in front of her. Serena then thought
about the other person they were driving too.
"Who is the other person?, she asked politely, then
a voice behind her made her turn around.
"That's me Serena, I am going to be your neighbor",
the voice said and Serena smiled at her neighbor, thinking this wasn't
going to be so bad.
"Oh Brad!", she said smiling, and at the same time
the 2 teens laughed together.
