A week later, the girls were on a flight to Cannes to publicize the yet-to-be made film.
They stayed on a luxury cruiser and felt like real film stars the next morning as a speedboat came to take them to shore.
Geri had curled her hair and boarded the boat wearing a head scarf so the curls woulden't go every where. With sunglasses,
it gave her the 1950's feel.
"Geri! You look so cute! Lets all do it!" Serena said, who sparked to life after sleeping in.
"Yeah!" The girls shouted.
"Can you believe were going to talk about our movie...OUR movie!" Mel B. said excitedly.
"I know. its so hard to believe." Victoria replied.
Before leaving to go and shoot the video, the girls took some time off. Serena and her mum went to Tokyo.
"Rini, do you wanna spend some 'alone' time with me tomorrow? We haven't done anything just us in a long time." Serena asked.
Rini was feeling a little sad that Serena haden't been around for along time. She lost her mother in the future, and now she
lost her in the past. Serena noticed she was feeling sad, so she offered. And when she did, Rini perked up.
"Yeah!" she shouted.
"Great. We'll go at about 1:00, okay?" Serena said.
"Alright!" Rini said, then she raced up to bed. 'she's so cute.' Serena thought.
The next day, Serena and Rini went out shopping. Serena bought her and Rini some new outfits...and stuffed animals. After, they
went out to lunch, and then went to the park, where a special money-raising for aids victims concert was going on. There was one TV crew there, and
they were broadcasting live. Serena went and Rini went a watched, but they had to make a donation. Serena gave them $100.00's Rini then asked,
"Why don't you do a song? it could get alot of money for those people. I mean, your REALLY famous."
"Ya know, thats a good idea. Lets go ask." Serena said. They went to the show producer.
"Hi. Im Baby Spice, of the Spice-" Serena said.
"Girls! Well! This is a pleasent suprise. My son is in LOVE with you." he replied. Serena laughed.
"Thanks. Well, I was wondering, if I could perform to help raise money?"
"That would be wonderful! Here, pick out some music, and go backstage and give it to the music director, Mr Fern." He said.
"Alright. Thanks!" Serena said.
"Could I get an autograph before you go?" he asked.
"Of course!" Serena said, then sighed a peice of paper. She then picked out her music to "Where Did Our Love Go?". She then
gave the music to the director. All of a sudden, the TV annoucer was saying Baby Spice would be performing in 10 mins, and
then the radio heard, and it was on the radio. Pretty soon, the park was filled with people wanting to see a Spice Girl. Serena
gave Rini and huge smile. This was the biggest audience she performed for. She walked out. She was wearing a pair of black
capri pants, and a pink shirt that said "Girl Power". Her hair was in 2 braids.
"Hello Everyone!" Serena said into the Microphone. The crowd roared.
"Im so glad all of you came! This is a very VERY good cause. This is also my first time performing by myself!" She said. The
music began.
Baby, baby, baby
Baby don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me
All by myself
I've got this yearnin', burnin', yearnin'
Feelin' inside me
Ooh deep inside me
And it hurts so bad
You came into my heart, baby baby
So tenderly
With a burning love
That stings like a bee
Now that I surrender
So helplessly
You now wanna leave me
Ooh, you wanna leave me
Ooh, baby baby
Baby baby baby
Where did our love go?
Don't you want me?
Don't you want me no more?
Ooh, baby baby
There was a little break here, then Serena brought out Rini and the danced, then Serena started singing again.
Baby baby baby
Where did our love go?
Don't you want me?
Don't you want me no more?
Ooh, baby baby
Baby baby baby
Where did our love go?
Don't you want me?
Don't you want me no more?
Ooh, baby baby
Baby
The crowd roared. Serena and Rini took a bow, then got off the stage. They then hugged. Rini coulden't hold it in anymore, she
had to tell Serena.
"Mommy." Rini wisperd.
"What?" Serena said.
"Your my mommy, Serena." Rini said.
"How am I your mother, Rini?" Serena asked with a smile.
"You are the Princess of the Moon. My mom was the Princess of the Moon. Darien is Prince of Earth, my Dad, Endymoin was Prince
of earth, now King of Earth. My mom is Neo-Queen Serenity. I am Neo-Princess Serenity. Princess Of the Future Crystal Tokyo." Rini Finished.
Serena was gobsmacked.
"I don't know what to say." Serena said.
"Im sorry we kept it from you, Serena." Rini said, crying.
"Don't cry, Rini. I know now. And, I coulden't be more happier...knowing your my daughter." Serena said, hugging her.
They then walked to Raye's temple. Serena didn't want them knowing she new about Rini being her daughter, so she told Rini and then
didn't say anything.
"We saw you on TV! You were great!" Lita said.
"Thanks. hehe." Serena said.
Back in London...
There very first scene on the opening day of the filming was at a manor house on the outskirts of London. Hair and make-up took a few hours before they settled around a large table in a paneled dining room.
Despite the secrecy surrounding locations, they had a running battle with the paparazzi, who were desperate to get the first shots of the Spice Girls on location.
The girls had a lot of troble with there lines. Especially Geri and Mel B. There was really only one moment in which they felf the movie came close to being emotionally honset and real. It was at night, beside the thames, when the Spice Girls seemed on the verge of splitting up after an argument.
As they sat on a park bench eating hot chips, they contemplated wether they'd changed since they became famous. Victoria claimed to be still the same, although her tastes had become more expensive. The major difference, Geri said, was that they now worried about different things.
In the past they had lived hand-to-mouth never quite knowing where the next meal or paycheck was coming from.
Now they talked about hit singles and chart positions.
Money was no long an issue.
As the scene ended, Victoria rasied the question about when this success might end.
The girls virtually had no songs for the new album when filming started. They had to write these at the same time as they were doing twelve-hour days on set. A mobile recording studio had been set up in a Winnebago and in between take, they could lock themselves away and begin writing.
Lying in bed one night, Geri came up with the first few lines of a song. She dashed downstairs and sang them into a dictaphone.
Next Moring, at the manor house, she played them to Andy and Paul, the Absolute boys, who had earlier helped them cowrite "Who Do You Think You Are?" They picked up on the melody line and began toying with it. Geri wanted something with a motown feel.
Mel C. eventually finished off the chorus and they had the basis for a song called "Stop."
Later, when they had more time, the other girls came in and they helped write the verses and bridges.
The song, "Too Much" had its beginnings while they were filming in London's docklands on a large closed set.
Serena had her mum, Darien and Rini fly out to watch the filiming of where they are performing "Spice Up Your Life" in the end.
