Chapter Eight Serena sat in her room drying her tears as she looked at her pictures of Darien. Why hadn't she seen it before? The entire time he had said he loved her or that he cherished his time with her ... was it really all an act? Or was Diamond just trying to get rid of Darien? She didn't know who she could trust anymore, and that scared her more than anything. Just because she believed Diamond over Darien didn't make her evil, did it? She still cared dearly for Earth, but she was starting to care for Diamond and Nemesis as well. Sure, it was a God-forsaken ice cube in the middle of Nowhere, Universe, but it grew some beautiful and rare flowers, and even supported a year-round Cherry Blossom, even if it was enchanted. A knock on her door led Serena out of her thoughts and she sighed. "Who is it?" "Serena, it's me," came Diamond's voice. "May I come in?" "Yes," she called back. She sat in her desk chair and tried to look busy. It was an obviously failed attempt. "Why did you run out in tears?" he asked. He smiled. "I'm happy to find that you stood up to him. It's about time you did." Serena managed a weak smile. "Thanks, but I think I did the wrong thing. I mean, I don't know who to trust anymore. I've always trusted Darien and then you came in and I hated you. But somehow, I've learned to trust you. I'm not supposed to trust you, am I? I mean, you're a bad guy and all-" Diamond cut her off with laughter. "Bad guy? Honestly, Serena, I thought you out-grew that." Serena thought for a moment and then laughed. "I suppose I did. But still ... you're not supposed to like me. I'm not supposed to like you at all. My destiny is to marry Darien and have Rini. But everything's changed, hasn't it? Everything's been thrown out of orbit and it's all my fault." She sighed again. "If I don't marry Darien, then Rini will never be born and in the future, you'll take over Earth and possibly kill me. I can't let that happen, especially since I know it will. All of this is on my shoulders and I don't know what to do..." Diamond smiled and sat down on the edge of Serena's bed. "I think that you're pushing things way out of proportions," he said mildly. "Time doesn't exist on a strict basis and, in fact, exists in different lines. In one timeline, you marry Darien. In the other, possibly me or some other man," he explained patiently. "In both timelines, there will be different things happening, but at the same time. While in one, you may be giving birth to Rini, in the other, you're walking through a garden. Do you see what I'm saying?" Serena nodded slowly. "I think so. You're saying that time exists in different dimensions almost. So that every single path we can possibly take is played out." Diamond smiled. "Exactly," he said. He stood and stretched. "So, since you already know that line, why not take a different one?" Serena sighed. "You make it sound so easy." "Isn't it?" "No! It's not at all easy!" Serena exclaimed. "What will happen in the future if I don't have Rini? You'll take over Earth and destroy me and the Scouts. Not to mention Darien. Then that will be my fault, too, because I knew what would happen." Diamond shook his head. "Serena, you know what I'm talking about, but you don't understand, do you?" Serena relented reluctantly and nodded. "I guess so." She sighed angrily. "I feel so stupid around you. You're smarter than I am, and we both know it so don't try to deny it. Plus, I have the common sense of a walnut." Diamond laughed, and Serena looked at him, "I'm sorry," he apologized. "But the whole walnut comparison was just too much." He smiled at Serena. "You don't give yourself enough credit." "I give myself plenty of credit. All the credit I deserve. None." She turned and looked in her mirror blankly. "You deserve some credit, don't you think? I'm smarter than you, yes. But you have to remember that I've known since I was born that I'm royalty. I've been trained to be smart. It's exactly the same with Sapphire." "At least Sapphire likes Ami. She's smart." "I like you," Diamond said simply. "You're nice." "Ami's nice." "You're pretty." "So's Ami." Diamond walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "You're precious to me." He paused as he saw Serena's smile. "Now you can't say the same about Ami, can you?" Serena laughed. "No, I guess I can't." Diamond turned Serena so that she was facing him and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Now come on. Let's go back downstairs and you can try to talk things out with Darien." "I don't wanna." "Do it anyway." Diamond gave her a gentle push towards the door and followed her out. ~*~ ~*~ Darien listened as patiently as he possibly could while Serena attempted to explain herself to him. He'd already decided what he was going to do. He would act the part of the sweet, gentle lover who realized his mistakes and was truly sorry for them. Then he'd rip that stupid bitch apart when they got home. Didn't she realize that without him, she couldn't possibly rule the entire planet? She couldn't even keep a goldfish alive for more than an hour, the ignorant ditz. Serena stopped talking and Darien took that as his cue. "I'm sorry, Serena. I've just been having such a hard time finding you." Serena looked at him in confusion. "Were you even listening to what I said?" "Of course," Darien replied coolly. "You were saying how sorry you were that you trusted Diamond instead of me." "No," Serena said slowly. "I told you that I wanted you to leave. Diamond understands me much better than you do." "Excuse me?" Darien asked quietly and dangerously. "You can't be serious! That moron? You stupid girl. Don't you realize that without me, your kingdom will fall?" Serena shook her head. "No it won't. Rini came back because what had happened to her had already happened. It can happen again, but I'm not going to let it. Please leave." Darien glared at Serena. "I always knew you lacked common sense, but I didn't know your IQ was negative!" "I've had enough of this," Serena said angrily. "Diamond!" she called out. Diamond came into the room. "Yes?" Serena pointed at Darien. Diamond smiled. "My pleasure." He opened a portal and looked at Darien. "Go by yourself or make me force you. I personally would prefer the latter of the two, but I refuse to upset Neo-Queen Serenity." Darien frowned and looked at Serena. "You'll see. You're nothing without me." He stepped through the portal and Diamond closed it. Diamond walked across the room to Serena and wrapped his arms around her. "You're everything without him," he whispered. Serena smiled and nodded. "Everything." She looked up at Diamond and put her arms around his neck. "Can you do me just one tiny favor?" "What's that?" Diamond asked, looking lovingly into Serena's eyes. "Make me forget about him," she said mischievously. Diamond lowered his mouth to hers. "Definitely my pleasure," he whispered. He kissed her softly, but with all of the love that he had for her. Serena sighed and gave into all of her feelings for Diamond. She could never forgive him for kidnapping her or lying to her, but she could still love him because he'd changed. And, to her liking, he'd changed for the better. ~*~ ~*~ Serena sat in Ami's room with her, trying to learn how to play chess. Thankfully, Ami was a patient teacher. "So, if I move this castle-thingy-" "Rook," Ami corrected automatically. "Okay, Rook," Serena relented. "So then if I move this Rook in front of one of the little guys-" "Pawns," Ami corrected again. Serena nodded. "Pawns. That pawn can't jump it?" Ami shook her head. "Nope. Pawns can't jump anything. To capture something, they have to move diagonally." She set up a Bishop and a Pawn for a scenario for Serena to follow. "So then to capture the Bishop, the Pawn has to move diagonally," she explained patiently, showing Serena how to capture something with a Pawn. "I get it!" Serena exclaimed merrily. "I can play chess!" Ami laughed nervously. "Well, you're starting. Now you have to learn about the Queen, King, Bishops, and Knights and how they move." Serena sighed and leaned back in her chair. "I'll never learn." "Sure you will. You just have to keep your mind on the game." Ami took a sip of water and then looked at Serena's defeated-looking face. "Why did you want to learn in the first place?" Serena shrugged. "I wanna be smart," she answered truthfully. "You're smart, Sapphire's smart, Diamond's smart, and Mina and Rae are smart. I'm stupid, and Lita's average. I'm supposed to be some big, important Queen and I'm dumber than a box of hair." Ami laughed. "Oh, come on, Serena. You're not that stupid. I think you're a lot smarter than you give yourself credit for." "That's what Diamond said." "Diamond was right," Ami agreed. "You can do things that I never could." "Like what? Fall on my face when I'm attempting to dance?" Ami laughed again. "No, I've done that plenty of times. But you did figure out how to get into the office building, remember? I didn't do that and I couldn't figure it out, either." Serena smiled. "Yeah, I did, didn't I?" "See? You're smart. Maybe not in math, science, history, or English. But you're good at puzzles." Serena shrugged. "Thanks, Ames. I needed that." Ami smiled. "No problem. You still wanna learn how to play?" she asked, motioning to the chess table. Serena nodded. "Yeah. It actually looks like fun." "All right, then. This is the Queen..." ~*~ ~*~ Diamond knocked on Ami's door a few hours later and was surprised by the sight before him when he walked in. Serena and Ami were playing chess, and Serena was winning! Plus, there was a flabbergasted look on Ami's face. Diamond figured it was because she was losing to Serena. He quietly took a seat and waited patiently for the game to end. Twenty minutes later, the game ended. "Checkmate!" Serena called merrily. She looked at the board. "I did it, Ames!" she exclaimed. "I actually beat you at chess!" Diamond smiled and stood, clapping. "Good job." Serena looked at him, a startled expression on her face. "I didn't even know you were here," she mumbled. Diamond laughed. "That's all right. I tried to be as quiet as possible when I came in. I didn't want to disturb your game." He hugged Serena tightly. "How long have you been playing chess?" "About two hours," Ami moaned. "And she beat me!" Diamond's face mirrored his surprise. "Two hours?" he asked. He looked at Serena. "You sure are a fast learner, aren't you?" Serena shrugged. "Guess so," she said. "Oh, Ami, can we play again?" Ami shook her head. "I'm hungry. I haven't eaten all day." Diamond smiled at her. "Sapphire's just sitting down to lunch if you want to join him." Ami smiled and nodded. "Thanks," she said, exiting the room. Serena said good-bye to Ami and then turned back to Diamond. "Is that a good thing?" "Hmm?" Diamond asked lazily. "Is what a good thing?" "That I beat Ami," Serena explained. Diamond smiled and nodded. "It's a very good thing. You're changing, aren't you, Serena?" Serena shrugged. "I don't know, maybe," she responded thoughtfully. "I've always wanted to be smart, and now all of a sudden I can be." She looked at Diamond in confusion. "I don't understand why." Diamond smiled gently. "I think you're just finally starting to act like a queen." He kissed her cheek. "Which is exactly what you are." ~*~ ~*~ Serena met the Scouts later for a midnight snack in the library. She had on her normal flannel pajamas, which were pink with crescent moons on them. With her, she brought chocolate chip cookies and tea for everyone. "Ta-daa!" she exclaimed when she entered. Everyone laughed at Serena's entry. "All right!" Lita exclaimed. "Cookies!" She grabbed a cookie and a cup of tea, then helped Serena hand out the rest. Rae looked around. "Where's Darien?" she asked vaguely. Serena shrugged. "Gone to hell for all I care," she said calmly. "Probably looking for some other princess to piss off." Ami laughed. "You finally got rid of that creep?" Serena smiled and nodded. "He left earlier," she explained. "Diamond helped me take out the trash." "Serena," Rae started, "you have to admit that Darien has saved your life numerous times. He loves you. Does Diamond love you?" Serena nodded and smiled merrily. "He does, and he's told me so. I feel better with him, really, than I did with Darien. Diamond lets me tell him exactly what I think. I don't have to sugar-coat anything or be afraid of what I feel. He lets me be free, Rae. And he doesn't want my crown or my crystal." "How do you know, though?" Rae asked. "Sure, he's sending out tons of good vibes. In fact, all of Nemesis is. But Darien was such a good actor that all I got from him were good vibes, too. How do you know it's not all an act?" Serena blushed and smiled warmly. "Bleieve me. I know." she started to say. "Oh my God, Serena!" Lita exclaimed. "You didn't!" Serena scuffed her slippers on the carpet. "You did!" Lita set down her tea and walked over to Serena. "So was it better or what? I mean, come on, you've gotta let us in on the dirt." Serena laughed. "Lita, please!" she exclaimed happily. "From what I heard, it was," came Diamond's deep voice from the doorway. He crossed the room and sat next to Serena. "Figures that you five would have a cookie rendezvous in the library without me." Serena giggled. "Hey, it was supposed to be a girls' meeting." Diamond took a bite of one of the cookies. "Oh, I see. I'm not wanted?" "Sure you are," Ami piped in. "Just not right now." Serena blushed. "Ami," she whispered. Diamond laughed. "All right, all right, I'll leave if you really want me to." Lita smirked as Serena nodded almost imperceptibly and Diamond left. "So how much better are we talking, here, Serena? Inquiring minds wanna know," Lita pressed. Serena laughed. "We're talking our solar system compared to the universe," she finally relented. Rae's mouth dropped open. "No way," she said. Mina laughed. "Go Serena!" she cheered. "So, when's the wedding?"
So how is it?? Good? Bad? I hope it makes up for the long absence on my part. Its almost over only a few more chapters I think. Well, thanks for still reading it! Ill update sooner next time (
