Title: Sweet Sixteen—Chapter 6, Recurrent Dream

By: Magellan Princess

Rating: PG-13

Warnings: None.

Notes: Okay. I am aware my last chapter was not great. But, there is a reason…I did it at 4 in the morning when I checked and had 55 reviews. Okie? I'm sry if it didn't live up to your standards. Also, I forgot to put abuse in the warnings, sorry!!! And to answer a question about her mother: Serena's mother hates Serena having secrets. And her father…yeah. He was mean; I know, he was supposed to be.

I did my disclaimer last chapter. Be happy.







Serena sighed deeply and walked along the sidewalk. She looked up at the starry sky and decided to sing to pass the time away.

"I can remember the very first time I cried

How I wiped my eyes and buried the pain inside

All of my memories - good and bad - that's past

Didn't even take the time to realize

Starin' at the cracks in the walls

Cuz I'm waiting for it all to come to an end

Still I curl up right under the bed

Cuz it's takin' over my head all over again

Do you even know who you are?

I guess I'm tryin' to find

A borrowed dream or a superstar?

I want to be a star

Is life good to you or is it bad?

I can't tell anymore

Do you even know what you have?

Lyin' awake watchin' the sunlight

How the birds will sing as I count the rings

around my eyes

Constantly pushing the world I know aside

I don't even feel the pain, I don't even want to

try

I'm lookin' for a way to become

The person that I dreamt of when I was sixteen

Oh, nothin' is ever enough

Ooh, baby, it ain't enough for what it may seem

Do you even know who you are?

I'm still tryin' to find

A borrowed dream or a superstar?

Everybody wants to be

Is life good to you or is it bad?

I can't tell anymore

Do you even know what you have?

No

Sorry girl, tell a tale for me

Cuz I'm wondering how you really feel

I'm a lonely girl, I'll tell a tale for you

Cuz I'm just tryin' to make all my dreams come

true

Do you even know who you are?

Oh, yeah, yeah

A borrowed dream or a superstar?

Oh, I wanted to be a star

Is life good to you or is it bad?

I can't tell, I can't tell anymore

Do you even know what you have?

I guess not, oh I guess not

Do you even know who you are?

Oh, I'm tryin' to find

A rising dream or a superstar?

Oh, I have a all these dreams

Is life good to you or is it bad?

I can't tell anymore

Do you even know what you have?

No, no

Do you even know what you are?

A rising dream or a fallen star?

Is life good to you or is it bad?*…" Serena tried to sing, but ended up sobbing at the end.

"Serena?" A woman said, hearing the song.

"Oh, god…Krista!" Serena wiped her eyes.

"Serena, honey, why do you have suitcases?" Krista said, taking one of the baby pink bags.

"I…went away from home."

"Runaway Serena?"

Serena sniffled. "Yeah."

"Here, I'll help. The cops will take you back if they see a pretty young girl out on the streets."

"Arigato, Krista."

"No problem. Here, you can crash at my place if you want." Krista said, smiling down at the young girl, like she had done millions of years ago…

**Flashback**

Lady Kristallina Sciomalae was a member of the Moonarian Court—known for their elegant, graceful, beautiful ladies and it's humble, handsome lords. And the Crown Jewels of the court were Queen Serenity, the ruler of the Silver Millennium, and Princess Serenity, known as Princess Serena to her court and dear friends. Although she was young, she had powers unknown ever to the Moonarian Court, obviously a trait her mother decided she couldn't show to rule, but had. Princess Serena had the power of Love. She was unprotected by evil forces, partly because of this. She hated to use her power, the Silver Imperium Crystal, to kill.

One day, an attack on the palace led to deaths, including Lady Kristallina's. She was a trusted advisor of Queen Serenity, however, and was instead made into an angel. A guardian angel, to be precise. And Princess Serena needed one.

Sailor Pluto, lovingly called "Puu", let Guardian Kristallina see Serena one last time, and what she saw felt like a dagger in her heart. Prince Endymion and Princess Raye walking upstairs, and poor Serena getting up, cheerful.

"Puu!" Kristallina cried. "I have to help her!"

"Guardian, I don't know if I can let you…"

"I HAVE TO!" Kristallina said determinedly.

"If you do, you cannot come back for a year."

"Their time or ours?"

"Ours."

"That would be so long! 5 human years…"

"That is the only way, Guardian."

Kristallina took a deep breath. "I'll do it…"'

"Krista…" Serena sobbed, "Why do you care so much about me? You'll only…get hurt…"

"Chéri, I will not get hurt. It is my job to care about you. Now, let's get to my place, and no worrying. Brigit will order us pizza and Jacque can get us some makeup and we can do makeovers!"

"Thank you, Krista…you are so…nice." Serena cried.

A light rain began to fall. "Oh, Chéri, do not cry! The sky is crying with you."

"The sky does not cry with me…I used to believe in magic…I don't anymore. I can't. Everything I love is gone from me."

"Not everything," Krista said comfortingly.

"I'm not anything anymore…"

"I know three people who would argue with that, Serena. Do not doubt yourself. Just be yourself, love, learn, live."

"Love does not exist." Serena spat on the ground.

Krista watched in amazement. She couldn't say that Serena was lying. She knew her power was love…if she didn't believe in it… "Serena, love exists. It is just…difficult to control."

"I used to believe in love." Serena said. "I can't anymore."

"You can, you just don't want to." The girls were still walking along, and a limo drove up.

"Mademoiselle, aimez-vous aller à votre manoir? Je suppose vous ne voudriez jamais

que un tour, vous comme vos vêtements de Chanel devienne humide." A man said, lowering the window. (Miss, would you like a ride to your mansion? I am assuming you would like a ride, you never like your Chanel clothes to get wet.)

"Jacque! Oui, J'apprécierais un tour. C'est mon ami, Serena Tsukino. Elle restera

avec nous." Krista said rapidly in French. (Jacque! Yes, I would appreciate a ride. This is my friend, Serena Tsukino. She will stay with us.)

"Oui, Mademoiselle." (Yes Miss.)

Serena watched in amazement. Krista had a chauffeured limo???? Maybe she was a star…she had the beauty. 'Why does she think of me as her friend? I'm nothing…' Serena thought to herself.

"You are something, Serena. Do not doubt yourself, chéri, it will come back to you if you do. You are the star I see. You are also my closest friend. Now, get in the limo and we can go to my place." Krista said, reading Serena's thoughts. Serena suddenly seemed shocked and Krista realized they were thoughts. "I saw the sad expression on your face and thought for a moment." She lied quickly. Serena went into the limo more cautiously however.

Okie dokey! Here is a very very short chapter six!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you all like it!!! Lalalala 10 more reviews and chapter 7 is out…Lisia, I appreciate your review, but that is not why I ask for reviews, most of the time. The storyline is actually semi-based on what reviewers say—they are my muse, and they have amazingly good ideas. Thank you, though.

Love Always,

Magellan Princess
