Intro: the next day Serena and the group head to the mall to do some shopping for the attic
***Sunday the 6th of July 1997*****
The following morning at 9:00 Serena woke with the sun streaming on her face opening her eyes she smiled and got out of the bed. Afterwards she walked to the closet and picked out her outfit a ruffled white crop top and black skirt topped off with a black set of high heels. Walking over to her vanity she sat down and began brushing her long blond hair, afterwards she began putting it into a French braided that started at the top of her head and continued until it got to the nape of her neck. Flinging the rest of her hair over her shoulder she finished braiding her hair before flicking it back over and letting it hang down her back.
She gathered up her bag and began going around grabbing her purse keys Sunnies and mobile, placing the Sunnies on her head, Serena headed out of her room down the hall and down the staircase.
"Morning mum, morning daddy, morning Sammy" Serena greeted her family, as she entered into the kitchen and took a seat at the table.
"Morning Serena" they replied.
"So Serena what is on the agenda today for you, sweetie?" asked Ikuko.
"The boys Raye Molly and I are going on a shopping spree for the attic"
"But Serena dear do you have enough money to do that?" asked Kenji.
"I do dad since I stopped going to the arcade and blowing my allowance I have saved quite a bit and I've been wanting to turn the attic into a hang out since my break up. But couldn't because of Rini now she is no longer here I can finally do so" said Serena, who began digging into her breakfast.
She was in the middle of eating when her phone buzzed with a text message wiping her hands she dug though her handbag and took out her phone. She opened the message and it was a group message from all of them saying they will all be at her place in an hour.
"Hey Ma I just got a text everyone will be here in an hour" she told her mother.
"OK dear" said Ikuko
"Hey daddy are you going to be home?" asked Serena
"Yes dear I will," said Kenji.
"OK good as we might need to get it all delivered," said Serena.
"You are really getting excited about this aren't you?" asked Sammy.
Serena grinned and nodded.
After breakfast Serena headed back upstairs to the attic.
Standing in the middle of the room she looked around trying to visuals where she would put all the ideas she had rolling around in her head. She headed back down stairs to her room and grabbed a pad and pencil as well as her notebook before heading back up.
Entering the attic again she made her way over to the newly installed window seat and sat in the window nook. Pulling her legs up she set the pad against her bent legs and began writing down the items she wanted for the attic she than pulled out her notebook and edited one of her songs called this is me. She was so absorbed in her work she didn't notice the time she only realized the time when she heard footsteps on the staircase.
"Hey girlfriend" said Raye as she and the others entered the attic.
"Raye Molly guys hey what its 10:00 already?" asked Serena.
"Yep it sure is" said Chad.
"So baby ready to hit the mall?" asked Atem.
"Sure am let's get this spree on the road" said Serena, swinging her legs over the side and getting up out of the window nook. "I'll just need to grab my hand bag from the kitchen table then we can go" Serena informed them while crossing the room.
"Got you covered beautiful," said Malik, showing her white handbag swinging from his hand.
"Oh it looks very stylish on you" Serena replied, giving him a kiss and taking her handbag back she placed the pad and her notebook and pencil in the bag. Than together the friends headed back down the attic staircase and then down the 2nd staircase
Serena called out to her Parents when they entered the entrance-way.
"Mum daddy Sammy I'm heading out now be back later"
"OK have fun darling," said Kenji.
Serena waved goodbye as they walked out the door.
"So who you and Chad going with Raye?" asked Serena.
"Well we came with Neflite and Molly so I think we'll go with them again," said Raye.
"OK well since we are still new to this City mind if we follow you Neflite?" asked Malik.
"Not at all" said Neflite
So getting in the cars and strapping in the two cars pulled away from Serena's place and into traffic.
******Tokyo shopping Center/ car-park*****
Coming to the shopping center they parked under the covered car park. Unbuckling their seat-belts they all exited the cars and made their way to the elevator the doors opened after waiting for a few minutes they then road it up.
The doors opened and exited the elevator and into the mall.
"So guys why don't we take a seat somewhere and discuss what to get I have jotted down a few items," said Serena.
"Sure" they answered.
So they walked around until finding a sitting area and sat down at the table Serena placed her bag on the table and took out the pad and set it on the table.
"These were the items I was thinking we could use for the attic what do you guys think feel free to add your own idea's" said Serena taking out the pen and set it on the pad.
You have some really good ideas here Serena can't believe you came up with all this in an hour" said Molly.
"How about a small 2 seat sofa I do like your idea of beanbag chairs." Said Raye.
A nice little coffee table as well would be nice," said Chad.
How about a small desk a place to put a CD rack and another CD player" Atem offered?
"And a small side table that could sit between 2 beanbag chairs" said Neflite.
"That all" asked Serena.
"Yep you did most of the item choice by yourself." Said Bakura.
"OK then let this shopping spree begin," said Serena.
They stood up Serena placed the pen and pad back in her bag and grabbed her handbag before the group all walked off. On the way Serena had said that they might need to get the items delivered.
"Yes I believe you are right"
So they went to the biggest department store in the mall and luckily they were able to find everything they needed in fact the whole shopping only took about an hour. They had gone to the check out where they all pitched in and bought the items Serena then asked if it could be delivered to her home address which she wrote down and gave it to the checkout lady. The lady told her it would be 2 to 3 hours before the delivery would arrive.
Serena nodded her thanks and they left the store, as they left Serena asked.
"Since it's an hour before lunch what do you all wanna do?"
"How about some window-shopping haven't done that in a while" said Molly.
"Sure you boys OK with that?" asked Raye.
"Yeah" they replied.
So they spent an hour window shopping, stopping at the food court for lunch after ordering their lunch they took it over to an empty tables and chairs sitting down they chattered as they ate.
"Oh have I got some gossip for you, Lizzie rang me last night and told me they had a guest…"
"…What's so gossipy about that Raye?" asked Malik.
Raye held up a finger.
"You didn't let me finish Malik anyway the guest that stayed over was none other than Shields"
"WHAT!" they all exclaimed
Yet it was Serena who began giggling
Raye looked at Serena giggling and smiled before continuing with her tale.
"It seems Trista was so peeved at him the other day when he couldn't take his eyes of you Serena, that she kicked him out of his OWN apartment so he had to crash at Andrew and Lizzie's place"
There was a round of laughter from the table.
"Although I don't blame her," said Raye.
"What why not?" they asked.
"While 4 years ago he dumps you Serena cause of Trista and his friends telling him that you were nothing but a child I heard about that day when Trista came to your place to pick up Rini's belongings. So he sees you again after 4 years and you turned into a beautiful young woman and he could not take his eyes off you.
Which peeved Trista off as she referred to you as a child and there you stood a beautiful young woman instead of the CHILD she accused you of being and the father of her child couldn't take his eyes off you so she kicked him out." Said Raye.
"Well I see your point I'd be a bit peeved if my partner couldn't take his eyes of his ex after not seeing her for four years" said Molly.
Neflite lade his hand on top of hers.
"You have nothing to worry about Molly I don't ever want anything to do with Lita Keno EVER again" She smiled and kissed him.
After lunch they left the mall and headed back to Serena's place.
When they arrived they parked both cars in front of the house and made their way inside.
"Hey sweetie how was the shopping?" asked Ikuko.
"Great mum they will be here in 2 to 3 hours to drop off the stuff so we are gonna go hang out in my room let me know when they get here please?" asked Serena.
"Sure dear" said Kenji.
So the group of friends headed up stairs to Serena's room where they hung out and played board games and a few card games for the rest of the afternoon.
***2 hours later 3:00pm****
There was a knock on Serena's bedroom door.
"Come in," said Serena.
The door opened and her father stuck his head in.
"Serena honey your stuff is here they are wondering where to put them so I told them the attic"
"Thanks daddy let's go guys," said Serena.
Getting up off the floor they headed out of Serena's room and up to the attic.
"Afternoon gentlemen just put the stuff anywhere you can," said Serena.
They took a few more minutes getting the rest of her things up to the attic Serena then signed the paper and they left afterwards the group spent the rest of the late afternoon rearranging the room.
They put the black 2-seater sofa by the railing. A dark purple and a pink bean bag chair across from the sofa, the desk over in the far corner near the stairs where they placed the pink CD player down and placed red and black beanbag chairs next to the desk.
They set the pink corner table in between the two beanbag chairs they placed a red and pink throw pillow in the window nook and on the window seat they also hung pink curtains over the window. Then place \ 2 dark purple throw pillows on the sofa and the red wool floor rug in between the sofa and two beanbag chairs and placed the black coffee table on the rug. When everything had been set up they all collapsed on the beanbag chairs and sofa.
"Oh what a day" Serena sighed.
"Yeah but it was a great day thanks for asking us to come along Rena," said Raye.
The Blond haired girl smiled.
She glanced around the room at her true friends the only ones missing were her 'big sisters' and god daughter "hey guys I know Amara Michelle and Hotaru are not here but would you like to hear a song I wrote I edited this morning and added some new lyrics." There was a round of agreements so Serena took out her notebook flipped to the song and began singing
The moon glows bright and there is a change in the air tonight
Everything changes friendship divided Fire stars air water shadows and Death
Are the only things I have left?
I stand here in the shadowy night while the stars shine above protected by the hurricane winds
the fire gives me strength
Yet death is so comforting
While the waves crash though all the heartbreak and misery
,
Happiness Kindness that is no longer me
Now they see they learned the truth
This is me; this is me!
I've carved a new path in life!
This is me; this is me!
Time to Shine Time to let go and be free
I don't care what they want!
Let the moon shine on.
I'm going to continue being the real me.
The Phoenix flies igniting the flames in my life
the shadows that protected me from afar, have set everything right!
It's time to break free,
let's see what I was born to be.
No rules, no Training, I am finally free
I can finally be me!
This is me; this is me!
The moonlight lights up the sky!
This is me; this is me!
on the hurricane winds I fly
I don't care what they want!
Let the moon shine on...
moonlight dances though the sky and all around.
My soul's broken away from destiny hold!
The tsunami waves harmonize with my wrath!
I'm moving on back; to the love of my past
This is me; this is me!
I've broken free from destiny
This is me; this is me!
Their moon Princess is gone!
I don't care what they want!
Let the moon shine on.
I'm going to continue being the real me.
As Serena finished her song there were around of applause Serena looked at her friends blushed yet was smiling
