Author's note: Hi everyone, I just wanted to tell you that every new character in this fanfict is mine. Hope you enjoy this story.
Again, Serena awoke. She knew it had to be late. In truth it was 4:30. Serena sat up and realised that, for once, she was alone. She didn't remember getting into the bed again so she thought she probably dreampt what she did. she got up and walked into the bathroom. when she freshened up she got dressed and wet to the Shrine Room where she knew the others would be. When they saw her, they were immedieatly at her side. "How do you feel, Serena?" "Tired, but I guess that normal for me, huh?" everyone laughed encluding Serena. "Where's Darien?" "He went to the..." "Arcade", Amy cut in when Mina couldn't finish the sentence. Serena didn't believe them but didn't push the issue. Amy frowned when she realised 10 minutes went by and they were still standing. She cleared her throught and waited for Everyone to look at her. When they did she said, "We've been standing here for 13 minutes know." She then lead everyone to the sitting area. Rini, who was asleep on the couch, jumped out of her sleep when she felt Mina and Lita sit carelessly beside her. When she saw Serena she squealed, "Your alright!", and threw herself at Serena. "Rini, when did you get here?" I got here a little after noon. I wanted to wake you to tell you but Amy and Darien made me stay out here." Serena just stared at Rini, taking in every detail of her soon to be daughter. Tears suddenly sprang to Serena's eyes. She tried to hide them but one escaped and rolled freely down her cheeks. "What's wrong, Ma-Serena?" Serena didn't notice the mix up in her name or that anyone was speakig to her. She did wipe the tears and just look blankly at everyone. "What?" She asked shakely when she realised that everyone was staring at her. "I asked you what was wrong, Serena." Rini said. "Nothing why." "First, you were crying. Second, you tried to hide it, and third, you cried silently. all thoughs things are unusual for you to do." Serena sighed shakly. She started to speak so soft that everyone could barly hear her. "Wouldn't you cry, too? Wouldn't you cry if your parents kicked you out and you had no place to go? Wouldn't you cry if you had no money or a job? Wouldn't you be afraid... Scared... Tired... Emotional?" "Serena..." "I know, Lita but think about it. If i didn't have you guys I'd be out on the street. I'd be all alone in the world." Tears started pouring out of Serena's eyes. She bowed her head and help Rini with all her might avoiding the eyes of her best friends. Everyone contemplated on what Serena had said but no one spoke.
"Mistress, are we going to attack?" "Not yet. I want you to focus on gathering humans and brain washing them into becoming my minions. Collect and many as you can before night fall and you'll be greatly rewarded." "Yes, mistress." Greg, the gray youma with purple pimples, sat in the hall of the throne room. He had listened to everything his captin and new mistress was saying. He couldn't believe that she wanted humans to be her minions when droids and youma's were better. Captin Kendle, who had been talking to Nineales, the mistress,Entered the room. she ordered greg to collect as may youma's on the north side of town while Kada Mark, and herself checked the south east and west sided of town. Soon they were off to their assignments and Mistress Nineales was left alone.(Author's note: In case you were wondering Nineales is pronounced Nine ales. If drop the T in tales and say it with an A, Ales. NINEALES. Back to the story :)
When Darien walked into the temple the first thing he noticed was that it was quiet. He walked into the Shrine Room and saw everyone in deep thought. He cleared his throught to get everyone's attetion. Startled, everyone but Serena looked up to see Darien pointing to the special bag that they knew was for Serena. When everyone looked at her there hearts bursts. Serena sat there in tears, clenching her dress. She seemed to be in deep thought. Darien took a little box from the bag and hid it behind his back. Worried, he walked over and sat next to Serena. Mina, Who was closes to Serena besides Darien, taped her. Serena jumped and looked at Mina. Mina pointed to Darien and Serena looked at who she was pointing to. Serena smiled sadly when she looked at Darien but he held a ferm smile saying, "Serena I want to ask you 2 things, but you can't say any thing until I'm completly finished or od at you to annswer. Deal?" Serena noded thinking 'oh god. I hope I didn't do something else wrong.' "First I want to as you to come live with me. Will you?" Silent tears streamed down Serena's face. Darien noded for her to answer and she noded back quickly saying, "Yes of course I will". Darien smiled brightly but lowered his head. Serena knew he was trying his hardest to come up with the right words for something so she waited pationetly for him to speak. "Serena, I love you so much. I want you to be with me until the very end. I want to wake up to you every morning and gaze into your beautiful blue eyes. So all I have to say is will you marry me?" Not waiting for him to give her the go ahead, she threw herself into his arms and sobed. No words were needed to let darien know she ment yes. Darien pulled her back long enough to show her her engagemen ring. Tears of pain replaced by tears of joy as Darien gently slid the ring onto his loves finger.
