August 2
Darien walked into his Apartment with a smile on his face. He had
to go to work that morning for a meeting. The meeting was boring
as most meetings are, but they actually figured the stupid business
stuff out this time, without any major set backs. But anyway,
Darien was happy to be back at 'their' apartment, to see his
Serena-Star!
"Serena? Serena, are you home?" Darien walked into the living
room and kitchen but Serena wasn't there. "Serena? Where are
you?" He saw her when he walked into the bedroom. She was
sitting on the bed, her hands folded on her lap and her head
lowered. "Serena, what's wrong?"
"Nothing really. I just have to move out that's all." Serena said not
looking up at Darien.
"What? Why?"
"Darien, you know why, I can't stay here any longer."
"Why not?"
"Between my practicing, school tests, which Ryan so kindly
informed me of today, and you having to catch up on work, not to
mention your college classes will be starting soon."
Darien walked over to her and bent down beside her. "I don't want
you to move out. I love you staying here with me. It seems more
like our place now."
erena lightly coursed his cheek with her finger. "Darien, it's not
like we won't ever see each other again. I'm not leaving, yet. I will
just be sleeping, sort of eating, and watching more TV at Ryan,
Kyle, and my apartment again. It is less than a three-minute walk,
and less than a second's ride either way. You can live without me
being next to you 24/7." Serena said the end with a little humor
and laugh in her voice.
"I don't think I can."
"Well get use to it, I'm moving out and that's final." Serena said.
"And what if I kidnap you?" Darien said as he stood up and
grabbed her around the waste lifting her slightly off the ground and
kissing her.
"My bodyguard and brother would come after you."
"Did they tell you had to move out?"
"No! It is my decision, and mine alone to make. Unless you
happened to kick me out, then it would be your decision."
"When are you moving back?"
"Tonight, my things are already there. Like I said before I'm not
going anywhere. Just moving back into my apartment. In fact why
don't you come over with me now, and I'll order pizza then we
can watch a movie or something."
Their night went perfectly, since both Ryan and Kyle were not
there. They really didn't watch that much of the movie, but talked
instead. Really they talked mostly about what the next month
would bring and how they would still see each other practically
everyday, or at least call each other everyday. Darien kissed her
goodnight then took the three-minute walk back to his now very
lonely apartment.
August 5
"Uncle it's nice to see you again!" Serena said while opening the
door to let in her Uncle Nicholas.
"My Starena, how have you been?" Nicholas asked while greeting
his niece with a warm hug.
"Great! Started ice skating practices again. I should be ready for
the competition coming up with in a month. Come sit down on the
couch. Can I get you anything to drink?"
"Lemonade please?"
"I'm so glad you came by. Pearl said the other day that you would
be leaving soon. I was hoping you would stay and watch Kyle and
myself compete in the ice-skating competition. Is there anyway I
could persuade you too, uncle o'Magic?"
"Starena, I will return to watch you and Kyle. But I must travel
home, and clear up this war that I was planning. I am sorry to have
caused you so much pain."
"I understand uncle. When I found out or rather remembered that
you were my uncle o'Magic, I didn't understand why you were
attacking my planet, my friends, and me. Even before we started
planning to go confront you I still didn't remember, why you
would do something like that to me. But then when I was standing
before you as a princess and with all my friends from the Silver
Millennium standing with me, I remembered. You went through
the last one thousand year's, dealing with your sisters death, along
with you niece and nephews. That alone causes so much pain, but
you had Pearl, the one you love, with you to help you through it.
Then when you learned of the one thing that you thought was the
one thing she wanted the most, you wanted to please her by giving
it to her. Of course then I had to come along and claim to be your
'dead' niece, wanting you to stop fighting against me. I totally
understand your reasons for fighting against me and my friends."
"You do understand. Thank you so much Serena. You truly are
your mother's daughter."
"Don't forget about me." Serena ordered as her uncle got up to
leave.
"You don't have to worry about that my little Starena. I don't think
anyone could ever forget you." He gave her one more hug then
left.
August 6
"What do you mean the competition has been moved up to the
15th? Are the nuts?"
"We will just have to work harder. Everything is going great, we
know everything by heart, Star. Still go out there do your best and
don't think about the thousands of people watching us!" Kyle said.
"Some partner you are! But your right we'll just go out there and
do out best."
August 8
"I am so glad I didn't fight you and Serenity." King Nicholas said
to Tranquility and Pearl.
"Why Uncle?"
"Because then I would never have found my sister's children."
"I for one am really glad you did not battle."
"And why is that Love?" Nicholas asked Pearl.
"Peace is better than both good or evil."
"As my future queen that is a good thing to believe in and stand
for." King Nicholas said before kissing Pearl on the cheek.
"Yes it is Uncle, yes it is."
August 15
"Are you nervous Serena?" Darien asked just 20 minutes before it
was time for Kyle and Serena to go perform out on the ice.
"Very much, with you standing here with me. Why don't you go
sit down with the girls and guys in the stands? I got you all great
seats, so go and enjoy them. Plus I'm sure everyone wants to know
how nervous I am. So go already." Serena answered while
speaking ninety miles per hour.
"I think I'm going to go find my seat now. You will do just great
out their, meatball head." Darien said before he kissed her good
luck.
"Just because I put my hair up in meatballs again doesn't give you
the right to call me that." Serena said angrily in her nervous state.
"You'll do just fine." Darien said while walking away from his
very nervous girlfriend.
5 minutes later
"Ready to WOW the audience, Sere?" Kyle asked his partner
"About as ready as I'll ever be."
They started the short walk towards the rink.
"This is only couples, you still have singles to get through
tomorrow."
"Don't remind me!"
"We will do this together."
The announcer called their names and they glided out to the middle
of the rink about two yards away. The lights were out so they
couldn't really see the audience, yet they really wouldn't see them
until after their routine was over. Their song started, it was nothing
popular, just a classical instrumental that went perfect with their
routine. They started out on the right foot or should I say skate?
Hitting every jump and twist together. When it came to their first
death spin, which was in the first minute and half of the routine,
they performed it perfectly they knew the rest of the routine would
go smoothly with few to no problems. And it did. They finished
perfectly. It was the best either Star or Kyle have ever skated. They
received a standing ovation, for the cheering and clapping
audience.
"Good job partner."
"Like wise. But you still have to get through tomorrow, Star."
"After today, tomorrow will be a breeze."
August 16
"Darien, go sit down!" Star ordered.
"I just wanted to kiss you good luck."
"Fine." Darien kissed Star with such a great passion it left both of
them breathless for a minute. "That was much better than a good
luck kiss."
"Well, I couldn't help my self. You'll do great I can feel it."
Darien kissed her lightly on the lips.
"I'm the enchantress here."
Then Darien left, laughing at his girlfriend.
Star's music was perfectly picked out, by none other than herself
of course. She was told to go onto the ice, and get in her starting
position. Star took a deep breath and right after she let it out
slowly, the beginning of 'I Turn To You' could be heard on the
very loud speaker.
'Here goes nothing' Star thought herself, and she kicked off to
started a slow circle around the rink. If you were watching her you
wouldn't think that she hasn't been skating, in this lifetime, for
less than two years. Her style and grace was perfect, her jumps
where smooth, and her spins right on the dot. Who would have
thought that such a klutz could be so graceful on ice?
That night
"Celebration party at the Restaurant!" Andrew called out as
everyone was congratulating Star on her 9.999998 score, and both
Kyle and Star on their score of their 9.759 score. To say the least
they won both the couples and singles competitions!
"Star, you did great." Andrew said while giving his cousin a big
bear hug.
"Yeah." Everyone agreed with him.
"And what about my partner in action Kyle?" Star asked.
"He was Great, too." Ken said while patting Kyle on the back.
"Three cheers for the winners." Lita yelled out.
"Three cheers? But there is one two of them!" Mina said confused.
Everyone laughed not at her but with her, yeah right.
"Serena are you all packed?" Jason asked from the doorway.
"Jason?" Darien asked.
"Jason!?" Toby said excitedly yet questioning.
"The one and only."
"Jason!!" Toby ran into his arms, hugging him like she would
never let go of him again.
"Brother, welcome home." Darien said while Jason tried to pry
Toby off of him only so he could embrace his younger brother in a
brotherly hug.
Between Darien and Toby, Jason was reintroduced to everyone.
"Did you say something about Serena being packed?" Darien
asked after about twenty minutes.
"Yes he did. I have to return to the states." Star said.
"What?" Everyone asked at once.
"You all knew from the beginning that I would have to return to
the States sometime. I have a new life there, with my family."
"What about your family here?" Andrew asked.
"I'll be back. In fact Ryan made me take some tests, and I passed
them so well, that I can join the girls in school their second
semester."
"When do you leave?" Raye asked.
"Tomorrow afternoon."
"And you didn't tell us?" Amy said.
"And give you the time to convince me to stay? I don't think so."
Later that night
"I'm going to miss you." Serena told Darien as he was dropping
her off at her apartment.
"I wish you weren't leaving me." Darien said
"I have to, I told you that."
"You will be back for sure?"
"Yes!" Serena said with a giggle.
"I love you my Serena-Star."
"And I love you Darien."
He kissed her very passionately as if he would never get to feel her
sweet lips on his again and he savored the taste of her month, so
he would never forget it while they were apart. Serena was doing
like wise only she was very much confident that they would be
sharing many more kisses like this one, but not having to leave
each other, in the future.
