*******************************************************************

Serena hurried down the passage to the lobby and the relative safety of the receptionist desk, trying not to let the incoming tears begin streaming down her face. *Why oh WHY did I have to come do charity work for the ONE hospital in the world where HE works! Oh my god oh my god oh my god………* she thought desperately as she strode down the corridor as quickly as possible. "Oh hello, Miss Serena." The secretary smiled at the frantic young woman. "Has Dr. Shields seen you yet? He was supposed to show you around." Serena rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Oh yeah, I've seen him alright. However, I'm afraid he had 'somewhere' to be. Would you mind assigning someone else to that ma'am?" she asked calmly to the lady behind the desk. The woman looked taken back, but nodded and turned to her intercom. "Dr. Anderson, are you busy right now?" she paged into the speaker. Serena's heart skipped a beat. *Anderson? That wouldn't be…* "No, I'm free, Marie. Do you need something?" The two women heard from the intercom. Serena went pale. "Who… who is 'Dr. Anderson'?" she asked Marie faintly as the secretary paged for the doctor to meet her here. The secretary turned to her in surprise. "Why, she's the other head doctor here at the hospital, why?" she asked curiously at the look on the dancer's face. Just then, a woman about Serena's age turned the corner, making notes on a clipboard she was carrying. Serena let out a cry of shock and turned to the young doctor. "Amy??" she choked. "Oh Lord!" Serena dashed towards the surprised doctor and burst into tears, hugging her tightly. "Amy, Amy oh my god!!!!" she cried. "Serena???!!!!!" Dr. Anderson replied, a shocked expression coming over her face. "OH my GOD Serena, where have you been?? You haven't contacted ANY of us since you left, where did you GO???" she yelled happily into Serena's ear. The two women hugged and laughed as they realized they were both crying. "Serena, why did you leave?" Amy finally asked when they stopped crying. Serena looked away and wiped her eyes. "It's a long story." She offered hopelessly. "Why don't I tell you later? My agent needs me to begin my hospital training today… I was hoping you would show me around?" Amy nodded sadly and offered a smile. "Come on, let's start with the children's ward. That's where you'll do most of your volunteer work. The two left and walked down towards the east wing of the hospital.

"Hey Serena, how about this?" Amy asked. "After we get off work here, you can come to my apartment, and we'll have an old fashioned sleepover, just like before. I'll invite all the girls, and you can tell us everything, okay?" Serena smiled and looked at her friend. "That'd be awesome, Amy. How are…. How is everybody Ames? How's the temple?" Serena looked far away as she gazed at something Amy couldn't see. "How is my family Amy?" she whispered sadly. Amy's face fell. "Oh Serena, you can have the day off. In fact, I'm taking the day off too. C'mon." she replied sadly.

The two girls turned around and went back to the desk, where Marie smiled at them politely and allowed them to check out for the rest of the day. As they walked outside, Amy turned to Serena. "There's something you might want to know." She said, hesitating. Amy touched her friend's arm gently. "You've seen Darien then, haven't you? Well, he……." Amy paused. "Well, you remember Raye, right??? OH gosh Serena I can't do this…" Amy wrung her hands, twisting them nervously. Serena frowned. "Do what? What about Raye and Darien?" she asked suspiciously. "Well, Serena, you've been gone for FIFTEEN years. We all thought you were dead, Serena. I mean, all of us have already graduated COLLEGE- wait a minute." Amy raised an eyebrow. "You didn't drop out of SCHOOL, did you???" Serena shook her head with a small grin. "No, I didn't. I finished high school, and I graduated college a couple years ago… I have a major in dancing and theatre and another degree in teaching. And you obviously got your Ph.D. Ames! Now please, what is this business of Raye and Darien?" she persisted. Amy sighed and pursed her lips. "I don't know if… if I'm the right person to tell you this Serena, but about ten years after you left, we all sort of… gave up. Well, not gave up, but what we did was give up on you coming home by yourself." Amy bit her lip. Her voice dropped to a slight whisper. "You know, after you left Darien went crazy. All he did was study for his exams for medical school, and then not even that. He became a sort of… recluse. He was totally destroyed, Serena. He loved you. Although he was the most eligible bachelor for practically forever in the hospital, he never went out with anyone." Amy went pale. "Except one person, Serena." She whispered faintly. "Darien and Raye are engaged, Serena."
