"Serenity-san? It's Fuu. May I come in?"

"Hold on, Fuu!" Sere ran to the door and opened it...only to find Lita there. Fuu smiled apologetically from behind her. "Hello, Lita." Sere said slowly.

"Hey, umm...I was worried about you...I mean, you haven't been at school..." Lita stood in the doorway nervously. Fuu slipped away and started down the stairs.

"Well, I think my not being at school is justified." Sere said coldly. Lita sighed.

"Look, Sere--"

"I don't think you have the right to call me that anymore." Lita bit her lip and started over.

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry, Serenity-san. I talked to Darien, and he told me--Oh, Sere, you have every right to be mad at me forever but I'm so so sorry!" Lita exclaimed. Sere noticed, to her surprise, that two tears were slowly making their way down Lita's cheeks.

"I accept your apology. But," Sere added, "I don't know if we can be friends anymore." Lita nodded and turned to leave. "Someday, maybe..." Sere started.

"Yes." Lita said without looking back. "Someday." Then she was gone. Sere closed the door and went to the kitchen. She got a carton of Ben and Jerry's ice cream and a spoon, hesitated, and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" the voice at the other end answered.

"Hi, Sei-chan, it's me. Grab all the ice cream you've got and come over. It's time for a major pity party..."

*"Jack? Wake up, Jack! There's a boat! Wake up!"*

Sere and Seishi sat on the couch with their quarts of ice cream and watched as Rose tried to wake Jack up.

*"Jack? Jack!"*

Sniff. Sniff.

*"I'll never let go, Jack."*

The two girls both teared up, but kept watching silently.

*"May I have your name miss?"*

*"Dawson...Rose Dawson"*

Sere looked over at Seishi, and Seishi looked back at her. For a second, they just sat there, then they both burst into tears.

"It's so romantiiiiiic!" Seishi wailed.

"Uh-huh!" Sere nodded. They sat there crying for a while, then they quieted down to occasional sniffles. "I hope we didn't wake Darien up." Sere hiccuped.

"Too bad, cause you did!" The girls whipped around to face a very sleepy, very irritated Darien. "What could you two possibly be bawling about at 2:30 in the morning?"

"Oh, we're sorry, Dare!" Sere started. "But you see, Rose jumped out of the life boat to be with Jack, an all the life boats were gone and they went down with the ship and Rose was on a door and Jack was cold and he died and Rose told him she'd never let go and then on the other ship, she told them her name was Rose Dawson and it was so romantiiiiiiic..." The girls started crying again.

"Err...sorry I asked..."

"Oh, Darien, wouldn't it be great to fall in love?" Serena asked.

"..." Darien decided that the best idea was to leave, and fast. "You girls better go to sleep. That's what I'm doing. G'night, Seishi. 'Night, Bunny."

"Good-night, Darien."

"Night, Dare." Sere turned to Seishi. "Would you mind sleeping on the couch?"

"No prob. G'night, Sere."

"G'night, Sei-chan."

Well...umm...all I can think of is that Sere and Seishi were watching 'Titanic'. Like you all didn't already know that. Cool. E-mail = Serenitys_Star@dbzmail.com.
