Love of a Lifetime
Chapter 3 (revision)
By: Sailor Destiny (Erica Scott)
It was about noon when Serena awoke the next morning she was surprised to see that Darien was still lying next
to her. She smiled softly and kissed his cheek. Darien smiled softly as he woke up. "Morning Meatball head." He said with a
small smile. She giggled and popped him playfully. "You know I don't like to be called meatball head Darien, so don't call
me that." She said softly. "Alright Sere, I won't call you that." He said softly as he kissed her forehead. "Are you ready for
tonight?" He asked her and she nodded. "Of course, but we do need to go to the beauty shop in a few minutes though."
She said and he nodded. Serena snuggled her head down on his shoulder and smiled softly just as there were footsteps
coming from upstairs along with a lot of loud giggling and chuckling. "Mina, Andrew, Susan and Mike are up." She said as
she sat up and yawned. "I can here that."
The four walked down stairs smiling and happy. "Susan, do you have your dress and stuff ready?" Andrew asked
his wife as he kissed her softly. "I'm ready Andy." She said softly. Serena smiled and walked up tot he bathroom to take a
shower. "So Darien, why did you switch to using your middle name?" Andrew asked his long time friend. "After my
parents were killed and I left I didn't want anyone to know who I was. They are still looking for me as we speak I know it."
Darien said as he watched Serena walk up the stairs. Andrew and the others nodded knowing the exact same reason. "Well
Mina, we had better get going. We have a lot of things to take care of today." Mike said as he kissed Mina softly "Oh
alright." She said as she hugged Darien, Andrew and Susan. "Tell Sere, I'll see her later ok." Mina said, they nodded and she
and Mike walked out of the house.
A few moments after Mina and Mike left Serena walked out of the shower to free it for use once again. She
walked into her room and sighed softly as she fixed her hair into the two buns in her hair for the moment. She put on some
jeans and a button up shirt before walking down stairs to the main room. "Darien I'm ready." Alright Sere!" He yelled out
as she walked down. He smiled and fought hard to resist the urge. "Let's go," He said as he waved to Andrew and Susan.
"We'll be back in about an hour or so, I have to get my tux." He said as Serena walked out of the house and to Darien's
blue Camero. Darien helped her into the car and she got in and smiled. She buckled herself up as he did as well before he
drove off.
They drove for a while before coming upon the hair salon that Serena had wanted to have her hair done at. "I
should be back here around 2, ok?" Darien said softly and kissed her. "Alright, I'll see you then." She said smiling and
kissing him back. Serena stepped out of the car and waved to Darien before walking into the salon. Darien watched her
walk in before he drove off to do some last minuet shopping for himself.
Once Serena was inside the salon she sighed softly and took a seat after letting the lady at the desk know she was
there for her 12:00 appointment. She opened a magazine and softly sighed reading through it when she came across an
article. "Have the long lost Prince, and Princesses of England been found?" Was the title. Serena immediately put down the
magazine not wanting to read anymore on her past life. "Miss Moon, there ready for you." The lady said. Serena got up and
walked over to the chair. She sat down in the chair and took out her buns letting her long platinum blond hair spill to the
ground. The hair dresser walked out and sifted his fingers through her hair amazed at the good quality of hair that he was
being able to work with.
It took the next two hours to do Serena's hair, the hairdresser having a ball. He finally settled on a single long
French braid hanging down to the ground with long platinum tendrils of curls framing her body. Serena looked into the
mirror and smiled at her image, a small tear falling from her eye at a memory of her mother wearing her hair in the same
style once. As she was looking at herself in the mirror an old man walked in. He had fire read hair and deep emerald green
eyes. Serena saw him in the mirror and paled considerably when he sat down in the seat she had previously occupied. She
paid the hairdresser the money for her appointment and stood to walk out when she felt a hand on her arm. "Hello
Serenity." He said. She turned to him and yanked her hand away from him. "Don't touch me again you bastard." She said
with a voice like ice and walked out to were she saw Darien waiting for her with her hands behind his back.
Darien saw the look on her face and quickly produced the roses he had behind his back. She gasped loudly and
smiled then kissed him deeply. "Thank you Darien." She said softly. Darien laughed and kissed her back smiling as well as
he helped her into the car and closed the door behind her. He walked over and got into the car and drove off. "What had
you so upset Sere?" he asked her as the car drove off. "I saw my step father in there." She said softly looking out the
window. "Don't worry Serenity, I won't let him hurt you." He said softly. "I know Endy, I know." She said and kissed his
cheek. Within moments they were back at their house.
Darien and Serena got out of the car and walked into the house arm in arm. Andrew and Susan were sitting in the
middle of the floor when they walked in. Andrew almost passed out when he laid his eyes on Serena. "You look just like
momma." Andrew said softly as he looked at his younger sister softly. "I know, I realized that after I had already had my
hair styled. But there is some bad news to be heard yet." She said softly as she sat down on the couch and Darien sat down
next to her. "What could that be?" Both Darien and Andrew asked her at the same time. "Alan, he's here and he knows I'm
still alive." She said softly as she shook her head. "That bastard!" Andrew said. "I don't think he's coming to the dance
tonight so we really don't have to worry." Susan said in her logical way of thinking. "Yeah I hope your right." Both Serena
and Andrew said in worried voices knowing how Alan was, and that he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.
At 4:00 everyone set out to get ready. Darien had to go home to get his clothing but said he would be back to
pick up Serena. Susan and Serene both walked up to Serena's room to get dressed. "Serena that dress is beautiful." Susan
said as Serena pulled out the dress and laid it on the bed. "I know that's why I got it." Serena said giggling. "I'm gonna need
some help putting it on since I don't want to mess up my hair." She said. Susan nodded just as the doorbell rang. "Andrew
go get the door!" Susan yelled. "I did, it's Rei!" Andrew yelled in reply. "Send her up!" Serena yelled down as she slowly
slipped the dress up her legs to her arms with Susan holding her hair. "Hello Serena, hello Susan, how are both of you
doing?" Rei asked as she closed the door behind her. "We're doing just great, we're going to the Easter dance tonight that
the hospital is holding." Susan said as Serena held up her braid and Susan zipped it. "That's a coincidence. I'm going too,
Darien hooked me up with another doctor that he knows up there, his names Jed." She said softly and took off her coat
revealing the stunning tight short red dress. "Ouch, your on fire!" Serena said to Rei. "I know that's the truth." Rei replied.
Serena turned around and showed the front of her plain dress that showed enough of her cleavage to give most guys an
instant drool feast. Rei's dress just happened to be the same as Serena's but the only different was it was red, the same with
Susan who wore green. "This is going to be interesting, Susan looks like a pure emerald, Rei you look like a fire ruby."
Serena said and both Rei and Susan laughed. "Serena you look like a pure ice diamond." Susan said as she looked at Serena
and smiled at her sister-in-law.
At about 6pm Darien, and his friend Jed showed up. Andrew greeted them down stairs at the door and the three
men walked into the den and sat down on the couch and waited on the girls who were doing their last minuet preparation.
"Serena, Susan, Rei come on we need to go or we'll be late!" Andrew yelled up the stairs. "We'll be down in a second!"
Serena yelled back as Rei walked down the stairs. Darien stood and kissed his long time friend on the cheek and started the
introductions. "Rei I would like you to meet Jed, Jed this is Rei." He said as he introduced the two. Jed and Rei just stared
at each other. Rei did something she had never done before, she blushed. Serena and Susan walked down together and
smiled at the two. "That is something interesting isn't it?" Serena asked as she saw Rei blushing like she was really
embarrassed. "Well now that were all here lets go." Andrew said as he kissed Susan softly. They all walked out to their
respective cars. Instead of the blue Camero for Darien, he used a pure white Mustang hardtop. Andrew used an emerald
green Mustang hardtop and Jed a fire red Mustang hardtop.
The three arrived in about 10 minuets to the hotel were the hospital was holding there dance. Once everyone was
there Darien had already told Andrew and Jed to go on in ahead of them because he had something that he wanted to do.
"Serena I love you with all my heart and I know now that I will always love you. Please do me the wonderful honor of
becoming my wife." Darien said softly as he took both her gloved white hands into his. Serena to say the least was
speechless as she looked at him with pure joy. "Oh Darien, nothing would make me happier than to be yours forever."
Serena said softly as she kissed him. He smiled and placed the small heart shaped diamond ring onto her finger. That
completed her look and with the beautiful diamonds on her ears and the single diamond pendant laying at the base of her
throat, the diamond sparkle in her blue eyes and the diamond engagement ring on her finger made her a true queen of
diamonds.
The two walked in arm in arm once more. Andrew saw them walk in and whispered something to Susan before
walking over to the two. "You two had better becareful, Serena, he's here." Andrew said. Serena shuddered and looked
around hoping that she would run into him while she was there. Andrew kissed his sister on her forehead and lead them to
the table. "Serena don't worry everything will be fine alright. Nothings going to happen.
Alan was watching them on the other side of the room with Beryl and Travis. "When are we going to make
ourselves known to the little princess?" Beryl asked with a hint of sadness and anger as she noticed the diamond ring on
Serena's finger. "Beryl, don't worry we'll get the little princess yet." Travis said as he kissed Beryl softly on the lips.
