Post: December 28, 2012
Summary: Something is going on in Serena life, she has everything... except love. Going back to Tokyo would make her remember all or would she decide to stay the same? But where is Serena and Where is Darien...?
Hi guys... hope your xmass was amazing. i know mine was wonderful. I can't believe 2013 is just a few days away. I really hope to finish this story by April, better yet let's make that before 2014. :D in two weeks I'll be going back to work so this might be the last chapter until i get a chance to write again. Remember guys i don't have a BETA. Maybe later on I'll re-write from the beggining. I know i made a lot of mistakes in the first chapters, but I'm trying my best. :D
"Prince… you're needed here. The scouts and general can handle their own time"
"Sometimes I wonder if you can still see the future. Deborah has powers that are way stronger than the scout and generals." he tried to yell but didn't want to scare Rini.
"But prince you are forgetting who's with them." the smile in her face was what stop him from taking another step closer to her.
"Who?! And you better tell me?"
"Princess Sophia"
Normal POV
At the sound of that name Serena turned to face Pluto and her brother. "Pluto you need to stop meddling with time" it wasn't a suggestion.
"You are making this bigger by bringing more people into all of this.,…. Ugh God Pluto, what does she even has to do with any of this?" Darien wondered why Serena had reacted that way. By the looked on her face, she was pissed.
She was ready to kill someone, and Darien guessed that she wouldn't mind that someone be Pluto.
Darien turned to face Serenity, all it took was a look at her face. "Serena I think it would be best if we let Serenity and Rini rest, why don't we go to my room?" Serena also turned to look at her and nodded.
She knelt to level with Rini "why don't' you stay with Serenity, keep her company and I'll come back later to look for you" she then turn to face Serenity "you don't mind keeping an eye on her, do you?"
"of course not" with that said, Tranquility, Pluto, Darien and Serena left Serenity's room.
They made their way up to Darien's room in silence. Once inside war broke loose.
"Answer me Pluto or so help me I'll…." Serena didn't get a chance to finish her sentence when Darien spoke.
"Enough, I'm tired of listening without getting anywhere. Who the heck is Sophia? What is Travis doing here? And where are the scout and my generals?"
Serena had never seen him raised his voice at anyone. He looked tired and frustrated. "Trust me I don't mind that you made me realized how miserable I was without Serena. How much I missed her but I'm sure that wasn't the reason as to why you brought us to the past in the first place. So again I'll ask … WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? … and Pluto that's an order" Darien was no longer wearing his normal clothes, in his place was Prince Endymion wearing his armor and cape, sword by his side.
Pluto's powers responded faster than she could answer. She bowed.
"Prince Endymion"
"Pluto rise. Now Explain." She couldn't lie anymore.
Serena decided to take action before anything else could happen, she walked up to him and stood on his right side, touching his shoulder and trying her best to calm him down. She had never seen him so mad, never even imagine that he was able to get so mad at anyone.
"Darien, It's not all her fault. Please my prince calm down." she finished looking at him. Serena's touch got him out of his anger. IT was times like this when he understood what she really meant to him. He didn't like to see his princess sad, with that in mind he ended his transformation.
"You're right, Sorry Pluto." Serena smiled happily.
Pluto stood up and turn to face them. "I really don't know everything. It all started about three years ago. I noticed when you guys started to drift apart but I didn't really thought it would last more than a few months. So I went back to the time realm. It was then that I noticed small changes, but then again I didn't' do anything. Few months later I went back to your time, I was in shock when I didn't see you together; but the more interesting part was seeing Princess Sophia with Serena. At this point I was about to interfere but it was then that Small Lady decided to come clean about what she had done. Your future self ordered me to keep an eye for Deborah but I wasn't able to find her. Her powers are just like Serena's. Everything was getting out of my hands. And as months went by we couldn't find King Endymion, it was later on that I learned he had died. The Queen was the worst, she couldn't remember Small Lady and Endymion, few months later she was gone; and I still can't find her body. I decided to take action, it was then that I traveled to your time. I thought that maybe by re-starting your memories and by making you see what your heart really wanted then maybe the future would be back to normal, but I was wrong. Without knowing Deborah's location I couldn't tell what she was planning or doing. I have never been so blind in my life. Serena's plans were making even harder to look into the future. I just couldn't take it anymore, there was one option left and that was Tranquility. When I got there he mention knowing everything, and as we talked I started to see better. I can actually see the future. But for that to work I need you guys to figure what to do."
Darien's arms were around Serena's waist, holding her protectively; and well Serena, she was speechless. Travis on the other hand was fuming.
"You explained why we're here, and because of that, Serenity and Endymion almost ended their own relationship. God Pluto. What on Earth can we do? Not to mention who is Sophia?" Travis wanted to just strangled the woman in front of him but he had never been violent, so why start now.
"I can explain about Sophia" The voiced belonged to Serena, who at this points was facing towards him with her face down and trying her best not to look up. Darien look down to find her playing with his shirt.
"Serena?!" Darien asked.
"Remember how I told you that my best friend knows about me, everything... Well I happen to know everything about her too. She goes by the name of Marie Monter. But she's also known as Princess Sophia, Princess of Earth."
Serena waited for Darien's and Travis reaction. For a moment Serena wonder if Darien was still breathing. She looked up to see him, nothing. So she did what anyone would've done. Kiss him, and that did the trick, he responded back.
Few seconds later Darien stopped the kiss. Taking a deep breath he closed his eyes and focus on his past. His sister. He had a sister. He, of course, couldn't recall ever having one.
But Travis was a different matter, that name did rang a bell; Princess Sophia?!
"A sister? I have a sister?" Darien finally asked.
Serena looked up to him again and nodded. "Yeah" she said smiling. "Sorry Darien I just couldn't tell you. I promised not to say anything. I know you're mad at me but it's her secret not mine and I…." He placed a finger on her lips.
"I'm not mad, surprise… Yeah!, But how come I can't really remember her, how…. Oh no, I can't believe I haven't notice it, You been blocking me, She's been blocking me…. That explains so much…That's why your transformations haven't last more than a few minutes. God Serena, you could've killed your self" He pulled her closer to him, never wanting to let go of her.
Her mind was spinning as she came to the same conclusion. Blocking her mind took a lot out of her, and to think she's been doing that for over three years. That also explain as to why she never felt her sister. She just held on tighter to Darien.
"Is anyone going to explain?… My head is killing, I'm hungry and I just want to sleep. And just in case anyone cares, I haven't slept in the past twenty-four hours. So please tell me why does that name sound so familiar?" The question was directed to Serena but Darien answered it for her.
"To tell you the truth I can only remember some things. Such as, her been your girlfriend." Serena turned her face to see her brother's reaction. She laughed.
"Princess Sophia is his twin sister. She was blocking me as well, up until two years ago. I was quite surprise when she told me. Believe me I was shock to say the least. You can say she's my partner in crime."
Travis sighed in frustration, sat down in the bed and rubbed his hands in his face. "I guess that explains a little bit. So let me get this straight. We're stuck in the past. She's with the scouts and generals. Serenity might or might not go back with Endymion…. Oh and let's not forget Rini. Actually, with Serena and Darien back together, Rini's life is kind of stable. But if we don't do something to fix the relationship between Serenity and Endymion, we might as well get ready for a big change in the future."
Just as he locked the door behind him, realization hit him. Everything was out of control, deep down he knew that his Princess had every right to choose someone else; marry someone who would make her happy. With that in mind he made his way to the gardens.
Prince Endymion just stood there admiring the beautiful flowers. Each and every single one of them reminded him of Serenity.
When Darien asked of his help, he never imagined things were bad. Of course he also never mention anything about the future only small things. At this points he was clueless. His future didn't looked like the one he had always pictured.
Serenity's POV
As they close the door, I turned to look at the small pink-haired girl. My future daughter.
*I guess Serena was right, She's cute.*
"Rini?!" my voice was so uncertain as I said her name. She had been looking at the door without reacting or saying anything. As she heard me said her name she turn to face me.
"Why don't you sleep? Come over here… " I motion, patting over the side of my bed. "I'm pretty sure the bed is big enough for both of us." I finished with a smile.
She nodded.
She made her way towards my bed and sat still. I wonder what was going through her mind. Such a small child and already facing problems. I guess you can say my mother instincts were kicking in. I scooted over, closer to her. As I did that, she rested her head on my shoulder, not to long after that she started to sob, trying her best not to cry; I could tell she was really trying but I guess it was too much for her to hold in.
"Please don't cry…" I pleaded and finally I understood why it was so hard for my mother to see me cry. "… You'll see everything will be okay" We both needed to hear that. Even if it was me the one who saying it.
"Thank you… My mommy always said not matter what, the love between her and daddy, would over come anything. I really hope you guys fix your problems, which I know were my fault to beginning with." I was about to ask what she meant by that but I guess she wasn't done talking. " I really don't know how much Serena has told you about me… The future change because of the mistake I made, Your sister, my aunt, is in the future. She messed up everybody lives. I guess it didn't took a lot of effort since there was already doubt in their lives."
I was speechless. It took me a while to think straight "I know you're my future daughter, Edmymion's and mines. I really don't know everything cause well Serena is really careful not to mention anything about the future. But what did you mean by your fault?"
I guess she was thinking about her answer. "I… I … I let Deborah escape. She traveled to the past. Once there she set her plan in motion. It took her a couple of years but she did it. I… Please don't tell Serena I know all that. I really can't say that much about the future. … and yeah I'm your daughter."
I was too happy. Yet I wonder, what went so wrong to make Serena and Darien split up. Nothing was adding up. Their stories had only one person in common. Deborah.
Yeah, they surely made their own mistakes, but they were human. I sighed
"Sleep Rini, close your eyes" she lay back down and as soon as her head touch the pillow she close her eyes.
I sat still for a few minutes. Then I noticed her breathing going back to normal, it was then that I decided to turned off one of the lamps on the side tables. I got up and walked out of my room.
There was so much to think. As I stayed outside my room, I took a deep breath then made my way to the gardens. I walked in silence, making my way to my favorite place. I sat down. Regretting not grabbing something to cover myself. It was cold, probably one of the coldest days ever.
It wasn't long after I got there that I felt someone walk behind me. Endymion.
He un-clipped his cape, took it over his shoulders and he placed it on my back.
I look up to him. I smiled.
"You'll catch a cold…. May I?" he said pointing towards the empty space next to me. I nodded.
He sat down. Seconds went by and neither one of us said a word.
"I been thinking about everything. I'll be okay with any decision you make .. To tell you the truth I am mad at myself, it might not have been me directly, but I hurt you. Actually at this point I would probably encourage you to think about you choice. I love you with all my heart but I don't want you to suffer. I seen you cry more than twice since I got here and I don't think I could bear seeing you cry again. Your happiness means everything to me."
His words finally made me realize that no matter what, I would never be happy if I wasn't next to him. It took me a while to also grasp the fact that my own mother had set all this up. Maybe my future wasn't as bad as everybody made it sound.
"So you care so much about my happiness that it wouldn't matter if I was happy with someone else? If I kiss another man? If I were to touch another man? If someone else touch ME? Even if that meant me having a family with another guy?" I couldn't look at him. It hurt me to even think about it. Endymion just stiffed next to me as the words reached him.
I held his cape tighter. Wishing he was the one holding me.
"Endymion, I love YOU. I only want YOU. Yeah I know everything we have heard about our future doesn't sound like a happily ever after, but you been with me every step of the way. Your future self wanted to make sure we were happy, that I was happy. But the way I see it, both of you are the same. My happiness has always been your priority. That's why my prince.. I choose you."
I felt relieved as I said that. I never expected an answer from him. Yeah, it hurt not having a response from him, but I had made my decision. Slowly, and trying my best to keep calm, I got up.
But I was pulled back down, falling on his lap, his arm holding my back. The look in his eyes was what stopped me from getting up. He was crying. I tried to wipe out the tears but his lips touched mine, so tenderly.
