Chapter 3
All standard disclaimers apply.



The next week for Serena went by fast. School, homework, chores and friends kept her busy. Darien was still on her mind all the time, but seeing of thinking about him didn't hurt as much as before.

Darien, on the other had, was spending hours upon hours going over the memories that he had shared with Serena. He often found himself crying himself to sleep. The pain in his heart was too much to bear. Day by day wore on. Andrew knew about the break-up and saw how it affected and changed Darien.

One thing Andrew had trouble understanding was why Darien had broken up with Serena in the first place if he had known how much it would hurt. `He must've had a good reason,' thought Andrew.

The happenings of the following week, however, changed everything.

"Oh my gosh! Did you hear? They're coming to OUR school! I can't wait to see them!" said a girl.

"Me either! Who do you like best? I think they're all cute!"

"I agree! They are soooooo dreamy! I hope they notice me!"

"Yea..."

The chattering in the girls bathroom was all about one topic: The new hottest band members of the Three Lights were coming to Juuban High. Taiki, Yaten and Seiya Light. The hottest guys of the hottest band in Tokyo.

Juuban High was getting ready for them by preparing a big party at the night of their arrival. The Three Lights were going to perform as guests of honor. Come one, come all to welcome the Three Lights to Juuban High! Dance starts at 8:00 Friday night in the school auditorium, read the posters plastered on the school walls. And everyone came that night.


~Before the party at Serena's house~

The girls decided to meet at Serena's house to dress and put on their make-up to the dance. They were chattering away about the newest CD by the Three Lights.

"Wouldn't it be great to date one of them?" asked Mina dreamily.

"Yea..." sighed all the girls but Serena.

"Serena? Wouldn't you want to date a cute guy like Taiki? Or Seiya? Or Yaten?" asked Raye.

"No...not especially. I guess I'm still on the rebound from my relationship with Darien," spoke Serena quietly.

"Oh," murmured the girls. They had completely forgotten.

"It's funny. The more I try not to think of him, the more I do. I guess I just have to keep busy and try to forgive and forget," Serena shrugged, "But I'm going tonight to have fun! Not to pine for Darien!" Serena smiled.

The scouts smiled back.

"Come on, you guys! Let's go before we're late!" exclaimed Amy.

Serena nodded and pushed them out the door.

As the 5 girls were entering the auditorium, Serena asked Mina,

"Do I look okay?"

Mina grinned and said, "But I thought you were here to have fun, and not to impress anyone!"

"I know, but that doesn't mean that I have to look like a wreck to have fun!"

"Don't worry, you look fine," said Mina reassuringly.

Serena smiled and entered the room with the girls behind her.

"Look! Onstage!" cried Lita.

"They're setting up! I wonder what they're thinking right now!" uttered an excited Mina.

"Ah...they're probably muttering about how boring this is compared to REAL concerts," spoke Lita.


~Onstage~

"Man! Look at all these people who have came to see us!" exclaimed Taiki.

"Yea! I don't think they're all from Juuban High! There's way too many of them!"

Seiya chuckled. "And look at the girls! They're so excited to meet us in person! I wonder if this is how everyday is going to be at this school."

Taiki shrugged in response. "Hey, I don't see you complaining!"

"What guy would?" asked Yaten, "And look at all those pretty girls! I can't wait until Monday to start school!"

"That's a new one from you, Yaten! I thought you always despised school!"

"Not anymore," laughed Yaten.

As Yaten and Taiki were talking, Seiya was looking around the gym to see who his audience was. Immediately, he noticed a very pretty odangoed blonde enter the door. He was swept away by her grace, poise, and smile.

"Hey Seiya, who you goggling at?" nudged Taiki.

"That--That girl who just entered. She's an angel..." replied Seiya softly.

"Wow, she sure is a looker!" cried Yaten.

"Don't talk about her like that!" objected Seiya.

"You don't know her name and your already protecting her from me," Yaten shook his head. "Okay, okay, she's yours. I'll back off."

"She's not mine...yet. She might have a boyfriend already. With her smile, she's guaranteed to." replied Seiya.

"Maybe, maybe not," said Taiki.

Seiya sighed. "Well, let's put on a good show and then meet the girls."

Yaten and Taiki nodded. They put got their instruments and started an introduction.

"Hello Juuban High! We're here today to play for you and to meet YOU!" spoke Seiya.

"After singing for you lovely ladies, we'll be happy to meet you all!" winked Yaten.

"Are you ready?" yelled Taiki.

"Yes!" the crowd yelled back.

"This is..."

"SEIYA!"

"YATEN!"

"AND TAIKI OF THE THREE LIGHTS!"

They had begun. Seiya was singing, Yaten was back-up, and Taiki was electric guitar.

Their first song was their own creation called, "If Only One More Time...".


**********

If only one more time with you...in your arms...
If only one more chance I had to correct my mistakes...oh yeah
If only one more time with you......loving you now and forever.

Sometimes I wonder...if it is true, my love for you......
Then I think......

If only one more time with you I'd be happy...
If only one more chance to look into your eyes...
If only one more time with you, I'd love you forever more.

If only one more time.

**********

At the end of the song, Seiya was only looking at Serena. And Serena noticed. She felt a little shaky from the song. It was if she had heard it some where from before....

After the Lights were done performing, Seiya headed Serena's way. The girls he passed squealed and moaned. But Seiya didn't notice. Either did Serena. But the scouts did. And the scouts also noticed that an expressionless Darien heading Serena's way as well.


*cliffhanger (again)*



AN: Did everyone like? If you did, please review! All you Seiya-haters out there, don't flame me! I only included Seiya to make the plot more interesting, which it has gotten, has it not? Also, Seiya is part of my master plan....*evil laugh* *blinks* Anyway, I hope you liked the chapter, and I'll get the rest out soon!
