Chapter 9

Serena awoke to some strangely
familiar surroundings.

She knew this place, but she didn't. She walked out
and looked around. Once more that feeling overcame
her.

~Flash~ "Darien! I brought you cookies!" ~ Falsh ~

~Flash~ "What do you want?" he asked. She shut the
door behind her.

"I wanted to apologize for earlier. I was just so happy
to see you I didn't realize you were in a bad mood."

"No! No! That's not it."

"I promise I will work harder in school, okay? "

"No! That's not what I mean. I mean.... I just don't
have the same feelings for you as before."

"Darien! You couldn't have forgotten the past! About
you and me and the moon kingdom!" he slammed
his fist to the wall. The whole time he didn't look at
her. "Why do I have to be judged by what happened
in the past! That was then, I'm not that! I..." he
turned to look at her to say something but stopped.
There were tears glistening in her eyes. She looked
down and saw Rini's shoes.

"Rini's here, isn't she? I know she's just a little kid
and all but I feel that she's replaced me somehow."
He turned away.

"Don't be silly!" she looked down.

"You're right. I'm sorry Darien. I guess we weren't
meant to be together after all." And she turned and
left. Darien watched her leave with sadness. 'I'm
sorry, Serena.' he thought right before he started to
cry. ~Flash~

~Flash~ Serena pounded on his door.

"Darien? Darien!" he opened the door.

"Could you keep it quiet? Do you know what time it
is?" he hissed.

"Oh! I'm sorry. But Darien, there is something really
important that I need to talk to you about.' He
sighed.

"Serena, there's nothing to talk about, so please, go
home." He turned to close the door but Serena
stopped him.

"Darien, please tell me, have you had a strange
Dream about us lately?" he stopped and turned.
"Strange Dream?"..."That's the same dream all
right." Darien said after listing to Serena.

"It gives me the creeps, but hey! Maybe it's just
something we ate and it's all a nightmare!"

"But it said you wouldn't survive!" she smiled.

"Oh, Darien, now I know why you were so cold
hearted. It was just to protect me, yeah?" Darien
looked down.

"I thought is was just a dream at first but now I think
it really tells us of our future!"

"Darien, I don't care what happens to me. As long as
I can be with you." He looked to see her staring at the
ground.

"Serena we..." he put his hand to his chest.

"Wait." She said

"...must stay.."

"Please!" she was pleading with him.

"...away from each other!" and he backed her out the
door and shut.

"Darien!" she was pounding on the door. "Don't shut
me out of your life! I don't care what happens to me,
even if the world collapses I still want us to be
together! Darien? DARIEN!" she fell to the floor,
crying outside of his apartment. "Why does it have to
be this way!?!" he asked the sky. ~End Flash~ Serena
stood in the middle of his apartment. She
remembered. She remembered everything! How they
fell in love. Why they broke up, their past, present
and future , and what happened a few days ago that
caused her to run away form him. Darien came in
and saw tears running down her face. She saw him
and glared at him with pain, anger, and sadness. She
turned to run away but Darien caught her. "Let go of
me!" she yelled at him.

"Serena? What's wrong? Why are you like this?" she
stared at him. "WHY AM I LIKE THIS !?! WHY AM I
LIKE THIS !?! BECAUSE YOU WERE CHEATING
ON ME WITH ANOTHER GIRL! THAT'S WHY I
AM LIKE THIS!" Darien sighed. She had gotten her
memories back.

"Serena let me explain.." she glared at him.

"No! I don't want you to explain!" Darien held on to
her arm tight.

"Listen to me Serena." he said. She was struggling to
be let go.

"We were just working on the project. She was
putting moves on me and I didn't think anything of it
because I was to busy thinking about our fight. How
much I didn't want to lose you." Serena stopped
struggling and listened.

"Then she pulled me out of my thinking, pushed me
down, and kissed me. Then you walked in. You ran
out so fast that I couldn't explain it all to you. Then I
through her out of my apartment and chased after
you. Then you got hit. I was with you to the hospital
the whole way. I stayed by your side the whole time.
Then you woke up and didn't remember me." Serena
stared at him.

"Is that true Darien? You weren't cheating on me?" he
looked up at her and smiled.

"I would never! You mean everything to me Serena!
You give my life meaning, you make me want to live,
and I love you so much that sometimes I cry! Serena,
you make me want to live! You gave me so much!"
She smiled through her tears.

"I just wanted to hear you say it." And she ran into
his arms. He kissed her all over. Her face, her ears,
her nose, her neck, her forehead.

"I'm so glad your back." He whispered in her ear. She
smiled.

"How could I have remembered all of this so
quickly?" she asked. He smiled. "Our love is so
much powerful that the silver crystal, that's what
removed your memories, that they came back. Our
love is that strong, Serena." she smiled through her
tears.

"And it always will be." she said. He smiled and
leaned down to kiss her.

"I'll love you forever. I promise." And then he kissed
her. She returned it with passion. And that was only
one out of trillions that they would share.


I love happy endings. E-mail me. (I say that a
lot don't I?)
