Fatal Corrections
Chapter One
Written by Lady Serenity Moon
Summary - Darien and Serena are the CEO's of two rival companies. What happens when disaster strikes and they somehow magically
switch bodies. AU
Serena Moon, CEO of one of the leading communication companies stalked down the corridor towards her office which was situated
at the end of the hallway. ' God I wish that the damn press would keep their noses out of everybody's business and keep quiet ' Serena
thought. Her temper boiled within her making her brow sweat even more. Her strides were swift and long as she desperately tried to get to
the safety of her office before anymore press groups decided to bounce on her.
"Miss Moon," somebody called out from behind her. Serena turned around preparing to give the usual ' I'm not prepared to say anything
at this time ' speech when her loyal secretary raced down the corridor after her. "Maggie, what is it?" Serena asked her looking back
and forward between her approaching secretary and the door to her office.
"I'm glad that I caught up with you. I'm just here to remind you that you have a appointment this afternoon with a ---," Maggie stopped talking
for a second and started to shift threw the massive pile of papers which rested in her hands, "A Mr. Shields, Darien Shields," Maggie
finished. Serena shifted her gaze to Maggie trying to pay attention to her babbling secretary, "And who might that be?" Maggie smiled
and shrugged. Serena pointed towards the piece of paper which lay on top of the top of her pile of papers. Maggie giggled, "It
says here that he's the CEO of Phone Vision, a new communication company that has opened up."
"Ok and now what does he want to see me about? Did you tell him that I'm a very important person?" Serena replied, obviously annoying
but this little conversation. "He wants to see if he could buy out some of our communication lines." "He what? Oh Christ another boring
appointment, couldn't you just tell him no and be done with it." Maggie shifted her gaze uncomfortably and continued, "He said that he
had an offer that you could not resist." Serena sighed, "That's what they are say! Ok well thank you Maggie for telling me this. I'm
sure you have other stuff that you should be doing at the moment," Serena answered trying to get rid of Maggie as polite as possible.
Maggie took the hint and quickly left. 'I really should get myself a more qualified secretary but I don't have the heart to fire her,' Serena
thought. She chuckled and quickly reached for the door handle, closing the door softly behind her.
Darien reached for his glass of whiskey which rested on the table in front of him. He was at a posh restaurant waiting for his girlfriend,
Sandra when a waiter approached him and carefully tapped him on the shoulder. "Sir, there is a call for you," The waiter stated. Darien
sighed and followed the waiter towards the front desk of the restaurant. The waiter pointed to the phone and left quickly. "Hello," Darien
said. "Hello Sweetie!" A sexy female voice asked back. "Sandra, where are you?" Darien asked. A long pause and a sigh could be heard
from Darien's end of the phone.
"Sorry sweetie, I could make it. Work held me up again," Sandra answered finally. "Not again! This has been happening for the last week.
I swear it, if it happens anymore I'll come down there and grab your boss by the scruff of the neck and drag him into the awaiting traffic,"
Darien joked. Sandra laughed. "I'll be sure to bring the camera," A noise was then heard in the background, "Sorry honey I have to go and
sign some papers. Talk to you later! Love you." But before Darien could answer she had hung up.
'Could of given me enough time to say bye,' Darien thought as he put the phone down and proceeded back towards his table. The
waiter who had informed him of the phone call approached him again. "Will you be needing anything else, Sir?" Darien looked towards
his empty whiskey glass. "No thank you, I've got an appointment at two," He answered. The waiter looked at his watch, "Well you better
hurry Sir. It's already fifteen minutes to two," The waiter stated.
Darien quickly looked down at his own watch. It too read the same time. Darien reached into his pocket pulling out a twenty dollar note
and tossed it to the waiter. Grabbing his coat, he rushed out of the restaurant and towards the curb, desperately trying to hail a taxi. He
hadn't been standing there five seconds until one pulled up. The back window wound down and a women with long blonde hair that
hung around her face, poked her head out. "Would you like a lift? You seem to be in a hurry," She asked.
Darien laughed. "Yes, please how could you tell?" He asked as she opened the door and he scooted inside quickly. "Well it was
quite easy actually. Number One, that coat of yours. It's wrapped around your hand tighter than one would hang onto a parachute.
Number Two," She stopped talking for a second and adjusted her voice so that she was barely above a whisper, "This is what gave
it away. How many men do you see jumping up and down on a curb waving their arms like a out of sync windmill."
Darien chuckled at that and realized that he hadn't told the driver were to drop him off. But strangely, the cab seemed to be
heading in the right direction. "So where are you off to?" Darien said trying to start up a casual conversation. Serena turned to him
and smiled, "Actually, I'm off to a meeting at the Stock Exchange building, you?" "Me too! What a coincidence." Darien looked at his
watch and thumped his head against the window closest to him. "By the way it looks right now, I think that I'm going to be a
little late."
Serena sighed. She was about to answer him when they pulled up out the front of the Stock Exchange building. "Nice meeting
you," Darien said as he passed the driver a twenty dollar note and sped out of the taxi. "You too!" Serena called out. She thanked
the taxi driver and casually started walking towards the entrance of the building. 'Oh my god, I'm going to be late,' She realized.
Serena had been here a few times before and knew by memory where everything was. The elevator was just about to close when
Serena dashed inside and stood next to a taller women.
"Which floor, madam?" The elevator operator asked her. "Sixth," Serena replied almost immediately. The operator nodded and
punched in the button. 'Why do he have to do that?' Serena said looking towards the elevator operator, 'I'm sure that most
of the people that live in New York could push their own elevator buttons. It a worthless job!' Serena contemplated. The bell
signaling that they had reached the sixth floor, rang out throughout the elevator.
Serena quickly exited the elevator, thanking the elevator operator. She might of thought that the job was useless but that in no
means meant that she didn't have to be polite to the poor man who had to sit there pushing people's floor buttons everyday
for the rest of his life. She studied the sign on a nearby door, deciding that that was the one where she was to hold her
conference.
Serena reached for the door knob to open the door. But as if by magic the door opened without any help from her. Mr Parks,
Chief Supervisor of this meeting stood in front of her smiling. "Ahh, Miss Moon your here. We were starting to worry," he
told her. "Traffic was heavy today," Serena answered. Parks carefully grabbed her hand and lead her inside. "Darien Shields,
meet Serena Moon, CEO of TeleCommunication." Darien looked up from the papers in his hands, "You?" Serena just as shocked
answered. "I believe we've meet Mr Shields," Serena said as she shook Darien's hand trying to recover from such a shock.
"Yes indeed," Darien said looking back towards the papers in his hands, ""May we please get straight down to Business?" Serena
plopped her briefcase on the desk and stood behind her chair in a challenging posture. "Yes, please." "I have called this meeting
so I can arrange with your company to by some communication lines in Manhattan --." Serena interrupted him rudely, "In exchange
for what?"
Darien brushed some bangs out of his face with his left hand, "If you would of let me finish Miss Moon. I would have already
explained that to you. Now as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted. We will give you company in exchange for
these communication lines, a once in a lifetime deal, a new technology company has started up and they have offered
to construct Power lines for us at a exceptionally low cost. We would like to bring you in on that deal." Serena shrugged.
"Why can't we buy from this company directly?" She asked.
"Because they will refuse any of your offers. I will also be giving you 40 per cent of stock in this company giving you an even
cheaper deal." Serena walked towards the window and look outside at the bustling city. Darien and Mr Parks sat in silence
waiting for her decision. "Deal," She said, her voice echoing around the room. "Pardon," Darien said. "You heard me. I accept."
Darien smiled and laughed. "Wonderful doing business with you, Miss Moon," Darien told her. "Yes, I'm sure," She answered,
"I'll get my secretary to contact you in a few days and we can try and finish this deal." Darien nodded. "Good Afternoon
Gentlemen!" "Good Afternoon, Miss Moon," they both answered in unison.
Serena laid back on her coach as she clutched a container of yogurt. She had been way to tired to try and cook up something,
so she was stuck with this. 'Better than nothing I suppose' She told her. Serena reached for the remote control to the Television.
Flipping on the television, she searched through some of the endless channels on her TV. Stopping at a news channel she listened
to a young red - head explain the days news.
"In Business News today. The CEO of Telecommunication, Serena Moon signed a deal with Darien Shields, CEO of Phone Vision.
Allowing him to buy some Communication Lines in Manhattan in exchange for stocks on a new technological company. We
must all wonder what has possessed Miss Moon to agree to such an offer. But I suppose she will make herself clear in time.
She always does. Now onto Sport, Patty," She said looking towards her co-anchor. Serena switched off the TV and threw
the remote into a nearby chair.
"News travels fast. We must all wonder what had possessed Miss Moon to agree to such a offer," Serena mimicked the reporter.
"Stupid Press!" Serena yelled as she grabbed her nightgown and headed for bed.
"Darien honey come to bed," Sandra called out. Darien pushed some bangs out of his eyes and tried yet again to focus
on the paperwork which lay in front of him. "Darien," Sandra called out from Darien's bedroom. "I'll be there in a sec. I'm
just calculating how I'm going to finish this deal with Serena Moon," Darien sighed. "Is she as pretty as what the television
reporters said?" Sandra asked as she leant against the doorframe.
"I sense a jealous streak in you," Darien answered back. "Never..I was just asking," Sandra replied. "Well she's got a good figure,
cute face and long blonde hair." "Does that mean you like her better than me?" Darien chuckled. "Can we stop playing these
childish games, San. I love you Sandra and that's that." Sandra smiled and turned off the small light in the lounge. "Well then
Mr. Shields come and follow me and I'll show you why you love me so much."
Sandra reached for the buttons of Darien's shirt and yanked them apart forcefully. Meanwhile, Darien sucked on her neck
managing to make Sandra's breathing go faster and faster. He carefully laid her down on the bed and yanked at her shirt
buttons.
The sunlight burst into Serena's room. She struggled to get the blanket to reach over her head but there seemed to be something
stopping it. Serena opened her eyes slowly and looked to her left trying to read the clock that was usually sitting on her draws.
Strangely it wasn't there, Serena gasped and jumped up quickly. Her eyes began to focus even more. She looked around
this strange place. This definitely wasn't her room.
'How in hell did I get here?' She asked herself. "Darien," a voice called to her. She looked beside her to see a young women
with brown hair kneeling on the bed. 'Did she just call me Darien?' "Come back to bed," She pleaded. Serena slowly approached
the mirror on the far side of the room. Her form appeared in the mirror almost immediately after she stepped in front of
it. She gasped and put her two hands on the side of her face.
This wasn't her body either. 'I'm Darien! I'm in Darien's body. Oh my god, what in hell happened?' She asked herself.
I really don't know how this will go down. But I have been meaning to write a fic like this. I'm also working on writing a Independence
Day - Sailor Moon style fic. Please tell me if you would like to read it once it's done. Also please support this story by reviewing.
Sorry if this was an awful chapter I was just lost for words. May the force be with you!
