After saying good-bye to Darien. Serena goes up to her room to get ready for bed. She puts on her bunny pajamas and goes to over to the bed. Luna comes in. Serena has a happy look on her. Luna goes over to her and asks "Why are you so happy Serena?" Serena looks to Luna and says "Darien were accepted to go to medical school in the states." "I am so happy for him." Luna answers "That's great news Serena." "How long will he be gone?" Luna notices that Serena has tears in her eyes. Serena says sadly "Two years there and then he will finish up here." "I am going to miss him so much." Luna jumps up on the bed and says "I have a good feeling that you guys will make it thorough this." Serena who wiped the tears from her eyes says "Thanks Luna you always know how to cheer up." "Well it is getting late so I am going to bed." "Goodnight Luna."
The next morning she is up early because she is so excited to tell the girls about Darien. Meanwhile the girls are at the temple waiting for Serena. Serena goes rushing in early. The girls are all in shock. Raye speaks up "You are early." "Is there something wrong with you Serena." Serena looks at Raye and the others and says "No I am fine." "I have some great news to tell you guys." Raye is becoming upset with her and says "Well come on tell us." Serena then says "Darien were accepted to medical school in the states." "Wow that is good news." Mina says. "Yeah he will be gone for two years but he will come back here for his last two years." Serena explains. "I bet you are going to miss
him Serena." Lita says. "Of course I will miss him but........ She was interrupted by Raye who says "Two years is a long time to be apart can you wait that long for him." The girls were in shock to hear what Raye just said. Ami looks to Raye and says "How could you say that to Serena." "You know she can wait that long." Serena who crying because her best friend just doubted her love for Darien. Raye walks over to Serena and says "Serena I am sorry I should have never said that." "I hope you can forgive me." Serena looks up at her and nods yes in agreement. "I am going to need you guys to help me through this once Darien leaves to go." Lita asks, "When does he leave to go Serena?" "Two weeks." Serena says. "Well guys I need to go to the game center to tell Andrew about Darien." "So I will talk to you all later." Serena yells as she runs off.
The girls were all discussing what serena had just told them. "Serena is so happy for Darien but deep down her heart is hurting." "She is going to need our support.", Ami says. Rei says, "You are right Ami." Meanwhile Serena has arrived at the game center. She walks in and says "Hi Andrew!" Andrew sees Serena and yells "Hey Serena be with you in a minute." Serena goes to table to sit down and wait for Andrew. Andrew comes over and sits down across from her. "Good timing I am on a break now." "So what's up.", Andrew asked. "I have come to tell you the good news about Darien," Serena answered. Andrew looks at her and says "I already know Darien called me last night and told me." "I can't believe he is going to be gone for two years." He then asks "You know Serena two years is a long time." "Do you think you can wait that long for him?"
Serena was getting upset and stands up and says "What does that mean Andrew?" "I can't believe you would say that to me you know how much I love him." Andrew gets up
and grabs her and says "That is not what I meant to say." "I have been in a long distance relationship and my feelings for her changed while she was gone." Serena looks at him with tears in her eyes and says "Well that is not going to happen to me." "Our feelings are strong for each other." She then pushes Andrew out of the way and runs out of the game center towards Darien's apartment.
