Intro: After lunch the group head back to Serena house Amara Michelle and Hotaru arrive later to help her repaint the attic the next day they head to the mall to do some shopping for the attic
****15 minutes later****
Both cars pulled up in front of the Tsukino house, getting out of the cars they made their way up the path and into the house.
"Mum dad we're home" Serena called.
"Hey Serena your dad and Sammy are in the attic setting things up for you, you guys can head up," said Ikuko.
"Thanks mum oh by the way Amara and Michelle are coming over soon as well with Hotaru so send them up when they get here?" asked Serena. As she and the others headed up stairs.
"OK dear" said Ikuko.
Once upstairs they headed up the second set of stairs and up in to the attic.
Entering the attic, they saw Sammy and Kenji setting everything up for them.
"Hey daddy everything ready?" asked Serena.
"Yes it is dear now the colors what were they again?" asked Kenji.
"Crimson red, dark purple, black and pink," said Serena.
"Yes I got them as well as the rolling bushes there are overalls and my old work shirts for you all to use so you don't get paint on your clothing" said Kenji.
"Thanks Mr Tsukino" said Raye.
"Your welcome"
"Now I'll be downstairs if you all need me for anything?" said Kenji.
The others nodded.
Once Kenji left the boys grabbed the overalls while Molly and Raye grabbed the work shirts and put them on.
"I'll be right back guys I just need to change put my hair up and grab my CD player" said Serena.
They all nodded.
Serena left walking down the stairs.
As she stepped into the hallway she saw Amara Michelle and Hotaru.
"Hello Kitten" said Amara.
Serena smiled walked over and greeted her 'big sisters' and goddaughter with a hug and a kiss.
"Go on up they are all waiting, there are overalls and my dad's old work shirts for you whichever you chose I don't have an old shirt for Hotaru but Sammy might" said Serena.
"You look good Serena those boys are doing you wonders" said Michelle.
Serena smiled.
"Thanks Elle."
"But what's this?" asked Amara. Spotting the ring on Serena's left hand.
Serena lifted her hand and showed it to them.
"It's my belated 16th birthday present from my boys," said Serena.
"Uh huh" said Amara.
Serena laughed.
"I think it very Pretty Aunt Serena.," said Hotaru
"Thank you my angel" Serena replied.
"Well I better go change I'll be back up in a bit," said Serena.
She walked off into her room.
Stepping into her room she grabbed a pair of old ripped denim jeans and an old black button shirt changing out of her outfit she changed into her cloths and left first 3 button undone and tided the bottom of the shirt into a knot. She put her long hair into a messy bun so it was out of her face and off her neck she grabbed her extra scrunches her CD player and left her room passing her brother Sammy.
"Just grabbing a shirt for Hotaru" he told her.
Serena smiled and nodded, she made her way up the stairs to the attic.
"Hey guys I think most of you may need these" she said, holding out her scrunches
Molly Raye Chad Neflite Michelle and Hotaru each thanked her and took a hair tie, moments later Sammy returned with a shirt for Hotaru she smiled and thanked him as he helped her put it on. Serena on the other hand walked over to the newly installed window seat and set her CD player down.
"I thought we could listen to some music while we paint," said Serena.
Taking out what to the others appeared to be a blank CD. Seeing this Atem Malik and Bakura smiled.
Putting the CD into the player she pressed play grabbing a roller put it in the crimson red paint and started painting, around the room the others joined in each grabbing a roller and a different paint and started to paint the walls. However, they suddenly stopped when they heard the singer all eyes excluding the boys and Sammy turned to Serena. Serena answered their unspoken question with a smile before turning to continue painting her section of the wall while lightly swinging her hips to the beat of her own song. It took all of them a minuet to process that it really was Serena singing.
Whoa who knew Serena could sing was their shocked thought.
Before going back to their task. Around three in the afternoon Ikuko came up with trays of snacks and drinks they were still listening to music but this time it was from the radio. "
Thought you all might want a snack," said Ikuko.
"Thanks Aunt Ikuko" said Atem.
Putting down his brush and going to take the tray from her.
Ikuko looked around.
"Wow it's coming along great."
"Thanks Mrs. Tsukino" they replied.
She gave them all a smile before exiting.
"Be back in a minuet guys," said Serena.
Before putting down her brush and heading down stairs.
She returned moments later with a blanket and lay it out in the middle of the room they all stopped their work Atem set the tray down and they sat around eating and chatting
"So Serena how long have you been singing?" asked Molly.
"Since I was 3 I've always loved music" Serena replied.
"Yeah no one could shut her up once she learned how to sing," said Sammy.
"Ouch" he said suddenly, as Serena slapped the back of his head.
"Serena what the bloody hell was that for" he asked. While rubbing the back of his head.
"Do you not remember when you were young and wake in the middle of the night that it was me who would put you back to sleep with a song hmm?" she asked her younger brother
"Uh yeah you did," he said with a blush.
"Serena did you ever think now that you have your demo done maybe getting it put on the air so others may listen?" asked Michelle. Serena bit her bottom lip. "Um no I mean I've just made my demo" said Serena. "Trust me kitten its best you get the demo out early before you release your new album people will know who you are how you sound like your songs so much they would wanna buy your album when you release it" said Amara.
She then turned to the boys.
"The same goes for you three get your two albums on the air that way all of Tokyo will know you and your popularity will go up" said Michelle "But what radio station there are so many?" asked Malik. "We'll work that out later right now let's work on one thing at a time and right now it's getting this attic make over time" said Serena. "As you wish beautiful" said Malik Serena smiled. After their snacks they got back to work while Malik took the tray of now dirty dishes downstairs. "Psycho darling can you grab your CD from the bedside table so we have more music to listen to?" asked Serena.
"Sure beautiful" said Malik.
Before heading down stairs, so while he was gone they continued to paint the room a few minutes later Malik returned with both CD I had forgotten we left the CD at your place the night we stayed over" he said. While walking over to the player switching the radio to CD and putting the CD in the player while the others turned with raised eyebrows and looked at Serena.
"Come on guys like I said before the boys and I have been doing it since we were kids why stop now"
Raye smiled and shook her head before turning back and going back to her painting. They continued painting as the listened to the album the shadows with Serena going a little dazed "Wow who sings these songs?" asked Raye. "We do Raye," said Atem. "You boys are great how long have you three been singing?" asked Chad. "Since forever but we started a band a year ago?" said Bakura.
"We share lead vocal for a track on the album at the moment it's Bakura singing terror in the night" said Malik. The sun was just setting when they finally finished the room; Serena stood in the middle of the room and looked up at the black ceiling. "What's wrong Serena you look pensive" said Molly "Oh nothing's wrong Molly I was just thinking something's missing" replied Serena "What's missing Rena?" asked Sammy.
She used her powers to summon the crescent moon on her forehead and project it onto the corner of the clinging. Afterwards she let go and there in the corner of the ceiling was a yellow crescent moon Neflite walked over and looked up. "Wow that looks good but still something's missing, what's a moon without stars" He the produced a handful of stars and throws them up onto the ceiling and watched as they absorbed into the paint.
"Wow that truly does look beautiful," said Serena. The others walked over and looked up at the ceiling. "Amazing it look like we'll be sleep under the stars every night from now on" said Malik. They removed the overalls and shirts before starting on the clean up Grabbing the paint can's rollers and paint plates they all headed down the stairs and down the second lot of stairs.
"Uncle Kenji where do you want the half empty cans rollers and paint plates," asked Malik. "The plates are paper so they can be put in the bin the roller put them in the bucket in the garage and I'll clean them tomorrow" said Kenji. Raye put the plates in the bin while Serena showed the others to the garage. "Mr Tsukino your shirt and overalls plus Sammy's shirt?" asked Amara. "Laundry dear just down that hallway" said Kenji. Once everyone had finished they returned to the kitchen. "It's late why not all of you stay for dinner it will be ready in a few minutes I made plenty" said Ikuko.
They all agreed.
"Mrs. Tsukino mind if I call my mum to let her know I'll be a bit late I called and told her Neflite will bringing me home after we helped Serena with the attic on the way here" said Molly. "Sure sweetie go ahead," said Ikuko. So while Molly made the phone call everyone else headed down the hall to wash up.
****Crown arcade****
Darien had been at the arcade since Trista and Irini left and was still there when the girls left he had been nursing coffee after coffee and having a LONG talk well more like a long augment with Andrew.
Andrew who was behind the counter looked up when he heard the door slide open only to see his little sister Elisabeth walk though the doors. Seeing Darien there Lizzy glared at him than walked over to her brother.
"Andy I'm ready to go" she told him.
"OK man gotta kick you out now closing time" said Andrew.
"What am I gonna do Drew?" he asked pitifully.
"I can't answer but what you need to do is go home."
Darien sighed and stood up and walked out.
"Whatever you did shields you deserve the repercussion," said Lizzy.
"He was ogling Serena right under Trista's nose and trust me he had good reason to she was a total knock out today but the looks he was giving Serena well let's say Trista's not to happy" said Andrew.
Their voices faded as Darien made his way out of the arcade and walked home.
***15 minutes later***
Darien walked through the doors of the apartment building and took the elevator up to his floor making his way down to his apartment standing outside his front door he glanced at the door of number 4.
Are you in there right now Serena he thought longingly?
He went to use his key to get into the apartment thinking Trista maybe in bed, when the door suddenly opened and a duffel bag was thrown at him with such force it knocked the wind out of him. He caught Trista's glare before the door was slammed in his face and heard the door lock.
He could use the key but then he knew a deadly scream would be awaiting for him so hoisting the duffel on his shoulder he slowly made his way back down the hall to the elevator all the while hoping Andrew would take him in for the night.
