A Dimensional Adventure




Serena spent most of the morning exploring the palace with Luna as company. Raye was busy with political matters that needed to be seen to before she left with them and the boys were busy seeing to the details of the trip. She looked out a window at the beautiful city. Raye really had done a wonderful job of taking care of it. She also really cared about her people, it showed in every thing she did. Serena knew she felt bad about leaving but with her being the dragoon of fire it was really unavoidable. Raye had sworn an oath to protect her people even if that meant she had to leave to fight the coming evil. Serena had to smile at the thought of her friends determination and courage.

She turned the corner and went up a set of stairs that went through a door at the top. It led out side. Serena lifted her face up to welcome the cool breeze and soak in the suns rays. She heard the door open behind her. She turned and saw the mercenary , what was his name, oh that's right Ken. She didn't really trust him and neither did Andrew but Darien had assured them that his instincts said that he was a good man and besides as a mercenary he would do what he was hired to do with ruthless efficiency and what he was hired to do was guard the girls. Then he had made some joke about Chad and Andrew fighting like women to which Raye and Serena had promptly thrown him out of the room for.

"Hello Ken is something the matter?" Serena asked.

"No my lady just doing my job." He replied.

Serena bristled at this. She was the Dragoon of light for crying out loud why would she need protection. When she had asked Darien he had said that she didn't know how to defend herself against surprises. Then he had the gall to point out that Ken had taken her by surprise the other day with the arrow and that was precisely why she needed watching. Then a perfectly wonderful idea came to her. She turned and gave Ken her most brilliant smile.

"Ken could you teach me how to fight." She cooed sweetly at him. And the poor mercenary looked as though she had just told him she was the devil himself. His look was somewhere between shock and horror. Serena put on the full pout affect. Big tearful eyes trembling lower lip, the whole works. There was no was he could say no to this look. It worked every time.

A short while later found Ken and Serena out in the lists and Ken teaching her basic fighting moves. While Ken pondered on how exactly he came to be in this mess Serena focused on the lesson. Ken had decided that she was much to small to wield a sword so he taught her how to use a dagger instead.

"Ok now I'm gonna come up and grab you from behind, your gonna use your elbow and ram it into my stomach, not to enthusiastically though this is practice. Please try to remember that this time, ok. Then grab my arm and twist it behind me got it?"

"Got it." Serena replied happily.

Ken came up and grabbed her from behind covering her mouth with one of his hands. Serena was just about to execute her move when they heard a shout. They both looked up in time to see a tall girl come charging right up to them.

"Get your hands off her you creep!" she shouted. Then she firmly planted her fist in Ken's face.

Ken fell over backwards with a bloody nose. Serena just stood there in shock the whole time.

"Are you ok. That guy didn't hurt you did he?" the new girl asked. Serena finally snapped out of it and turned to look at the girl. She was tall with chestnut colored hair pulled up in a ponytail. And emerald green eyes. What really drew Serena's interest though was the fact that she was in jeans and a tee-shirt. She was also wearing Nike tennis shoes. Serena grabbed the girls arm. And began to jump in her excitement.

"your from... I cant believe it! Another person from my world alright!" Serena yelled. The other girl just raised her eye brow and gave Serena a questioning look.

"Oh gosh I've got so many things to ask you. Were are you from? How did you get here? How long have you been in this world? What's your name? "

" Slow down there. My name is Lita. I live in Houston, Texas. As to how I got here I don't know, I don't even know where here is. I just woke up in a meadow not far from here yesterday. Um so he wasn't attacking you?" Lita said.

"Huh, oh Ken. No he was teaching me how to defend my self." Serena looked over at the young man nursing his injured nose. Lita looked over as well.

"I'm really sorry about that. It was a mistake. I thought you were attacking her." Lita said with her head bowed in shame. Ken looked up at her and then smiled. He hopped up, dusted himself off, then turned and grinned.

"It's ok. Apology accepted. Never been hit by a girl before though." He said. Lita looked up and gave him a small smile in return.

At that same time Andrew and Darien came running around the corner of the building. They stopped and took in the scene. Both men saw Ken's bloodied nose.

"Serena." They both said at the same time.

"Hey It wasn't me this time ok!" she yelled at them both. Lita giggled and that drew the attention to her. Andrews eyes widened and Lita had to suffer the ordeal with Serena all over again but this time with Andrew latched to her arm and firing off questions.

Darien came up next to Serena and looked down at her.

"We heard someone shout and came as fast as we could. I'm very glad your not hurt Serena. I was very frightened that something bad had happened to you."

Serena looked at him and gave him her best smile. Then Andrew suggested that they all get back to the palace. It was getting late and they needed to fill Raye in on things and tell Lita about were it was that she had ended up.

On their way back into the palace Serena stopped Darien. She looked around quickly then reached up and grabbed his head pulling it down and placing her lips to his. Darien was in such a state of shock that it took him a minute to register what was happening. When he did he wrapped his arms around her and held her to him.

Serena had only intended to give him a quick kiss but soon it became much more than that. When they finally stopped kissing to get some air Darien still had his arms around her and her arms had somehow found their way around his neck. She blushed a little and then stepped back.

"What was that for?" He asked in a dazed voice.

"For caring about me so much." She answered.

Then she went inside on wobbly legs and up to her room were she collapsed on the bed with a big grin on her face. Lita and Raye came in sometime later but Serena still hadn't come out of her trance. Both girls knew they weren't gonna get any details out of her in her current state so they left her alone.


In the boys room Andrew and Chad sat playing chess. To which Andrew was winning due to the fact that Chad kept braking the pieces with his new strength. Andrew didn't mind though this would be the first time he had won a game of chess in his life. Ken sat on his bed reading some book he had found in the library.

Andrew knew that something had happened between Darien and Serena it was the only explanation he could come up with for the glazed look in Darien's eyes and the goofy grin on his face. He looked up in time to see Darien walk into the door frame.... Again.

"How many times does that make it now?" Andrew asked.

"Six." Chad and Ken said at the same time both never having looked up from what they were doing. Andrew shook his head. Darien was completely out of it. They hadn't been able to get a coherent sentence out of him all evening. Andrew vowed that he would find out just what had happened tomorrow. With a mischievous smile on his face he began to plan his attack. Oh this had some very good teasing potential. He could just see Serena's face now all cherry red from embarrassment.

"Check mate, dude." Chad said.

Andrew started from his thoughts and stared down at the game board in disbelief. Then he groaned and put his head down on the table. That's it, there was no way he would ever win at this game.

THUNK

"Seven."

Andrew grinned.

"Hey Darien wanna play chess?"
