Sorry for the delay in updating all of my fan fics. I just got back from vacation and I didn't bring my lab top along with me. You wouldn't believe how much email I received in just a week. I'm still reading over nearly half of it from last week. I made some changes in the story because of one little complaint that the plot wasn't exactly that clear to them. Oh well that's the only one I received for this story. So I changed some things on chapter 1 and 5, but it's only a small change, nothing that will mess up the plot totally.................. I hope. I made Christina seven and Devon twenty-eight, so that's the change. Chapter eight was deleted from off of my desk the other day, so I wasn't able to post it yesterday once I got back. Sigh............. I had to type the whole thing over again for the second time, but I know all of this work will pay off in the long run. I managed to catch some spelling errors and grammar errors while I was typing all of it over again, but it still might be wrong so please forgive me if it is. Thanks to everyone who have reviewed and have continued to review this story and all of my other stories as well. I don't plan on letting you down at all when it comes to competing fan fics. In this chapter the scenes will be switched at least two times. Will start one, off as Darien and Serena together then Darien, after that Serena by herself and in closing both of them together. I'm not giving away any clues as to whether of not Serena will get back with Darien, or they will just go there on separate ways. You'll have to read in order to figure this one out. ^_^ so I hope you enjoy it.

{Flash back}
Serena slowly entered into the café and sat down at the table with Darien. She started down at the table, knowing he wasn't expecting what she was about to tell him. Darien took a sip of coffee from his cup and looked down at her. Serena had sounded strange when she had called him to meet her here for lunch this afternoon. 'I wonder if she's still mad at me', Darien thought his eyes never leaving Serena's. Serena looked up from the table slowly with her hands slightly shaking. She pushed her engagement ring towards Darien and he looked up at her for an answer. Tears began to slightly form in Serena's eyes as she started to explain. "Darien I'm sorry, but I can't see you anymore," Serena began, while trying to avoid Darien's inquiring blue eyes. "What, but why?" Darien asked. Serena sighed. "Darien you already know why, please don't make us go back through this again." Darien paused for a minute then looked into his fiancé's angel blue eyes. "Serena I love you, don't you know that?" Serena didn't answer; instead she reached out to him and held his hand for a brief minute. "We can't keep on going like this, our lives are changing Darien." "That doesn't matter we're... "I've already given you back the engagement ring." "But...
"And I'm flying to America next month Darien," Serena finished. "We can't let it end like this." "Darien we don't have a choice, I'm starting a new life, without you. I've thought about this several times and right now, it just seems like the right thing to do." "Sure right now it does, but six years from now it wont," Darien explained. Serena stared into his eyes and instantly could tell that Darien was trying to convince her to stay. "Darien I just can't stay here any more, what we used to have its...............its no longer here. I don't really have any more reasons to stay here and you know that." "But I love you." Serena looked down at the table then started to get up. "Its best that we end this relationship now." "Serena we can't, I still love you and I've never stopped loving you. You're the only one for me," Darien told her while holding onto her wrist stopping her. The two kissed for one last time. "I'll always love you Darien, but I can't stay," Serena said unlocking her lips from his. "But couldn't we work this out?" Darien pleaded. Serena shook her head. "No Darien this is for the best.............goodbye," she whimpered almost down to tears as she exited the café.
{Flash Back Ends}
This had to be one the most sadist day in Darien's life; he could feel himself getting depressed each minute he spent alone. 'Why did I go meet her at the café this afternoon?' he thought thinking that it would have probably give Serena a second chance to think about what she had planed today. Probably she wouldn't have left Darien feeling so cold that afternoon. Every thing today seemed to be going along so well, he had planed to tell Christina he was her father and finally take responsibility for her. But after meeting with Serena at lunch at the café, he really wasn't sure what he wanted to do. He felt as if his life was coming to an end, but he knew what he had to do. Slowly he got off of his bed and exited his apartment. He didn't what exactly to say to Christina, not even knowing whether or not she would believe him. It was really hard to believe that last night Darien was so sure of what his was going to say. How he was going to tell her and how he was going to answer as many questions as she had for him. 'I can't leave her behind me,' he thought getting into his red mustang. 'Just because Serena left me, doesn't mean I should take my anger out on Christy too. She's gotta know that I'm her father... She's has to.' Darien put his key in the ignition of the car and speeded out of the parking lot. He wanted to cry right then and there, remembering what still had happened between him and Serena earlier.
'Why would she move to America, was I actually that bad to her? I know I should have told her about Christina, but she didn't have to do this to herself just because I didn't tell her,' he thought to himself. Deep down inside him, he knew what his was thinking was wrong. Not even Serena would have stuck around after what he had did, she trusted him with all her heart and believed every little word he had told her, until she had found out about Christina then the flam in their relationship had just died down into ashes. "I can't be friends with her, not after all I've put her through," he mumbled to himself while stopping at a red light. He glanced at his cell phone that was seated on the passenger seat. The temptation to just call her was strong in him; he wanted to hear her voice, even if she was mad at him. The light turned green and his eyes went to the near by phone. He wanted to grab it and dial the number he knew so well, but for some reason he just couldn't bring himself to do it. "HONK!" the car in back of him bowed their horn at him. Instantly Darien snapped out of his daze and continued through the light. He didn't know exactly where he was going at now, what could he do know that Serena was behind him? The answer to that was answered immediately by Darien turning another corner and could see a man and a little girl and boy walking by his side across the street. "Christy," Darien thought out loud and turned on another back street, which lead to his sister's house.
He drove into the driveway easily, trying not to scratch up the other cars that were parked there and got out of the car slowly. 'Where should I start?' he thought walking up the path to the front door and ringing the doorbell. 'Sure hope Elena told her the truth, other wise this is going to be harder than I expected'. Suddenly the front door opened slowly, Darien was looking up, hoping to see if it was either his sister or brother in law that was answering the door, but when he didn't see either of the two he looked down. Christina was gazing up at him with tears streaming out of her ocean blue eyes. Darien stared at her for a minute, thinking that probably something had happened. He kneed down to her and was just about to ask her what was wrong, but found himself being cut off by her hugging him. "Daddy," the little girl cried. Darien picked her up and let her cry in his arms. " Hey its ok," he whispered to her, while stroking her hair. "I wont leave you behind again Christina," he said with her still in his arms. "I thought you didn't love me," the little girl sobbed. Darien whipped a tear from her eye and stared at her. "I love you Christina and I'm sorry I haven't been there for you in the past, but I promise you as of now, I will always be here for you, when ever you need me ok." The little girl smiled at him then hugged him once more. "I love you daddy." "I love you too Christy and I promise you I won't leave you behind again," Darien said once more.

"Serena are you sure your ok?" Lita asked glancing at the blond while placing a green tube top back on a near by rake. Serena instantly snapped out of her thoughts. "Of course Lita, I'm fine. Why?", Serena inquired with a giggle and turning away from the dress rake. "You haven't said a word since we've been out," Mina answered. "Is something bothering you?", Amy began. "It's nothing you guys, now come on lets go to another store," Serena said making a fake smile. "Why what's wrong with this one?" Raye spoke up. "The other stores got some wicked cool shoes, I wanted to check out. Now come on," the blond explained pushing the scout of fire. "Serena, stop pushing me," Raye growled. "I'm not pushing you." "Yes you are, now stop it." "Here we go again," the other three scouts sighed in despair as they exited the store. The group passed by a food court and to the other fours surprise, Serena didn't mention on thing about stopping for any food. "Serena are you sure you don't want to stop and get a slice of pizza or any thing?", Lita inquired. "No, I wanna see those shoes first," the blond replied. All of the other girls exchanged glances then looked back at their leader. "Ok what happened?", Mina asked. Serena stared at Mina, with a confused look on her face. "What are you talking about?" "Serena you haven't been acting like yourself at all since we've been out here."
"I have too." Raye rolled her eyes. "Yeah right." Serena glanced at her. "WHAT WAS THAT RAYE!" "Serena cool down, we're just worried about you," Lita said. "Why I'm fine." "Have you talked with Darien lately?" "What?" "I saw you two in café this afternoon, did he say any thing to make you up set." Serena paused. "No, what would give you an idea like that." "Its just a thought Serena," Mina finished. "Look you guys I'm fine. Thanks for worrying about me, but I'm over Darien now." "Rats and I wanted to be a brides maid," Mina sighed. Every one's sweet suddenly dropped. "Now can we please go check out those shoes...........after a hamburger of course," the other blond said. "You've got it meatball head!," the group agreed. After going through seven more shoe stores and cloths stores, the girls finally decided to head back home to try there new cloths on for their girls night out. "Man I wish I purchased those new hills from Stacey's," Serena whined. "Stop whining," Raye growled as the group passed by a toy store. "Be quit Raye." "No you be quit." "No you." "No you." The other girls sighed, hoping that the two would stop their bickering. "Who wants ice cream?", Lita sighed. "I do, but there not invited," Mina whispered. "NO YOU!", Serena yelled. "No you shut up," Raye roared. "You guys come on, can't you stop fighting for a minute," Amy interrupted. The two girls stared at their blue haired friend.
"But Raye started it," Serena whined. "No I didn't you did," Raye snapped. "Hey its meatball," a voice spoke up. The girls turned around to see a little girl in back of them. "Where did you come from?" Raye asked. "Christy where are you," Darien said stepping out of the toy store. He spotted his daughter talking to the group of girls and faltered for a minute before going after her. 'It's ok,' he told himself while walking over to the group with a fake smile on his face. "Christy I thought I told you to stay in the toy store," he said trying not to look at the girls. The little girl turned towards her father. "I'm sorry daddy, I just wanted to say hi to meatball." "Well is that all? You scared me half to death, you know you can't run off like that by yourself." "I'm sorry." Serena looked down at the little girl then looked up at her ex-fiancée. For the first time, she was able to look up at him with out shedding any tears of anger or sorrow. "So you guys are out here shopping too?" she smiled. "Yeah, I promised Christy here I'd buy her that new doll she was after," Darien explained holding onto his daughter's hand. "Daddy can we go now," Christina asked pulling him in the other direction. "Ok. See you girls later.........and see you around Serena," Darien said walking away. Serena could tell Darien didn't want to leave, but he had to. He had a new life now, one that now included a daughter to take care of and Serena could tell he had accepted that life now, with out any objections to it. Then the reality of it all finally hit Serena they would never be together.
That night, Serena went up to the starlight tower, for one last visit. It had been ages since she had set foot back in this tower, all of the battles that her hand the scouts had been involved in began coming back to her. Including one special moment, when she first found out that Darien was Tuxedo Mask. Tears began to form in her eyes as all of the memories began to flash through her thoughts, blocking out every thing else around her. She walked to the glass window that showed the whole city of Tokyo. The town's neon lights shimmered as the bright moonlight glistened down upon the city. "It's beautiful isn't it," a voice interrupted her thoughts. Serena turned around in the voices direction. "Darien what are?" "I'm here to say goodbye...for the last time," Darien announced cutting her off. "Oh is that all," Serena said trying to seem that she wasn't showing that much interest in him. Darien walked over to her and looked down upon the city that was below them. "It's really hard to believe all of these years have passed and still this tower hasn't change a bit." "What do you mean?" "Don't tell me this place doesn't remind you all of the battles we've been through." "It does," Serena agreed with him. Darien smiled at her then walked away from the window. "Serena, I know we can't be together, but if you ever need some one.......... "Yeah... "I'm here for you," Darien answered. "Thanks," Serena said walking away from him and heading for the elevator. She paused for a minute then turned around to see Darien still looking out the wind. 'I'll never forget you Darien,' she thought watching him. 'Even though you've been a real jerk lately, I'll always love you.' With those thoughts in her mind, she moved on ward to the elevator, knowing that now she was over him and able to start her whole life over again with out the man that left her behind.
Well that's it! So how did you like the ending? I might just re-write it, but first I want to know what you think. Please write a review and remember my email address is sailorujv17@hotmail.com.
