Cry
By: Strawberry
Chapter 8
I don't own Sailor Moon
Genre: Drama, Romance
I kinda got inspirited for this story after seeing a walk to remember and the video "Cry" so yeah and there will be a 2nd one to this. In this story everyone is 18 and go to the same school, the girls didn't find out they where Sailor Scouts until they where almost 17 and this is Darien's POV most of the story.
Serena sighed as her mother put her veil on her; it was a simple dress, like the ring but Serena wouldn't have it any other way.
; It was Satin with beaded Venice lace. Delicate cap sleeves graced the top of the shoulder. It may have looked expensive but Serena's mother knew a very good sewer so she made it for close to nothing.
it may have been simple but it was so beautiful on Serena, the veil stopped a little before her knees, there was no train on the back of the dress, no big bow, the dress went to the floor, she wore white dress shoes, her hair was in the meatball style, she wore a smaller version of the star locket that represented her and Darien's love, he had given it to her 2 weeks before. Her make-up was very simply and she had a bouquet of wildflower along with some rose's and baby's breath, she knew it would already be too expensive for flowers if she had only rose's for a bouquet because rose's were so expensive.
"Serena you look beautiful." Her mother said as she held her handkerchief to her nose
"Thank you." Serena said very solemnly
"Well we better get a move on, everyone's waiting or us at the church." Her mother said as she took Serena to the car. They drove to Tokyo Baptist Church, since the church didn't have a dressing room to change in Serena had to get ready at home, she only wanted her mother to see her until the last moments of the wedding. The church was a small church and maybe fit 200 people but Serena and Darien had just about that many people coming. Though the church was small sunlight flooded in though the big window's, the wooden floor was clean and the pulpit was a good size though the church was cozy and it was the church the two had grown up in. it was a beautiful sunny day, the flower were blooming outside the church, Serena stepped out of the car, she saw her father waiting for her, he was in a plain gray suit. He smiled when he saw her, Serena wished that she could have the scouts as her brides maid but she couldn't, they couldn't afford it, they kept it very simple, no best man, no bride's maid's but Serena and Darien didn't mind.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Darien's POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mr. Tskino came in the church and told me Serena had just arrived and they where ready to start the ceremony, my heart skipped a beat and I took a deep breath, the reverend told me to relax. I took a deep breath as the music started, the pianist played on her small piano in the back, there was also a violinist named Michelle, they played only hope (or whatever that suit was when there getting married in a walk to remember, it was such a beautiful suit and I started crying then and there! The song's just so fitting! I'm sorry I broke my promise and I'm soOoOo sorry! Omg sorry I just have 2 more lines that love thing and something similar to something, I'm so sorry but it just goes good and I spent hours trying to think of something else but couldn't! SORRY! I really am, sincerely I lied and I am just so sorry! But after this the story is really different, well u won't think it is if u don't read the 2nd one I'm planning! SORRY!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Serena's POV ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The doors opened as the song started, the pianist, Amara and the violinist, Michelle had made up this song for Darien and I, they seemed so familiar and we had became friend's Amara would always call me moon face, they were cousins. I looked at all our guest's who were staring at me, family on one side and friend's on the other side, the one closest to Darien. Andrew, Tobey, Chad, Greg, Chris, Ken, Todd, Courtney, Mina, Amy, Lita, Sarah, Raye, and all our other friend's and family looked at me in awe, she had grins from ear to ear. I looked at Darien, he wore a tanish suit with gray/black tie, I knew he was as scared at I was, we had been waiting for this ever since our days on the moon and now that it was here I was so excited, I wanted to run over to the alter but still I kept a steady slow walk with my father who by the way was looking proud as ever. I snapped out of my daze, the song wasn't even past the first verse, it's supposed to play the whole ceremony and then end when we walk out of the church, and please! Don't let me ditz out, I felt myself trip on my dress but instead of falling on my face I came back from it, nobody but my father and Darien saw it, his smile became widened, I felt a tear coming. I was so scared, I had never been more nervous in my life, what if I said the wrong thing or dropped the ring and lost it, oh know suddenly, the pterodactyls in my stomach changed into, uh well anything that worst that pterodactyls and that's bad!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Darien's POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The song began and the door opened slowly, I saw "Dad" as he wanted to call me now, and I saw Serena, her arm was around her father's she looked like an angel, she was the most beautiful creature on the face of the earth, hell the universe, I saw her smile when she walked in, she looked at all the guests then me, she mouthed that she loved me and I mouthed that I loved her, she held the bouquet, I still couldn't describe the smile on her face, it was a beautiful smile that light up the room, what was it about her? Her smile was just so indescribable, she looked so solemn and serious and the happiest girl in the world at the same time but she didn't have an grin from ear to ear, it was a small smiled and her eyes where two beautiful crystals they were a beautiful blue, I smiled at her and she almost tripped because are eyes were locked on each other, I guess she didn't know where so was going, but nobody seemed to notice because she recovered from it quite quickly and gracefully, a little after the first chorus Serena reached me safely.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena reached Darien right before the first chorus of the song began; she gave her father a peck on the check then walked up to the alter, the reverend cleared his throat, the song was still playing as it was supposed too.
"Serena and Darien would like me to read this passage from the bible" (I think it's from the bible.) Serna and Darien both took there gaze off one another and looked at Mina and smiled, she had found the passage one day; well she was the scout of love wasn't she?
"Love Is always patient and kind, it is never jealous, Love is never boastful nor conceded, it is never rude or selfish, it dose not take offence and is not resentful… Love takes no pleasure in other people's sin's, but delights in the truth, it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes…" he ended, Serena and Darien where still across from each other, holding hands. The reverend took a breath and then started talking again, telling Darien and Serena what to say.
"I Darien Shield's do solemnly swear to take Serena Tskino as my lawfully wedded wife, to honor and cherish her, all the days of my life." Darien said as he smiled at Serena, the reverend then instructed Serena what to say…
"I Serena Tskino do solemnly swear to take Darien Shields as my lawfully wedded husband, to honor and cherish him, all the days of my life." Serena said
"Darien, repeat after me, with this ring as a symbol of my everlasting love and affection I be wed." The reverend said, Darien smiled
"With this ring as a symbol of my everlasting love and affection I be Wed." he said, he took Serena's ring and put it on her finger. The reverend turned to Serena,
"Serena, repeat after me, with this ring as a symbol of my everlasting love and affection I be Wed." he said
"With this ring as a symbol of my everlasting love and affection I be wed." Serena said as she put Darien's ring on his finger.
"With the power vested in me, I know pronounce you husband and wife." He paused because Serena and Darien where too busy looking into each other's eye's he didn't want to break the bond they had. After about 5 seconds he spoke
"You may kiss the bride." He said simply, Serna and Darien looked at him in union and smiled then kissed, a very long beautiful, passionate kiss, as the kiss ended the reverend spoke up.
"Lady's and Gentlemen I would like to present you Mr. and Mrs. Darien Shield's!" he said happily, everyone clapped and Darien and Serena exited the church.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~At the reception ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Darien's POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I held Serena tightly on the dance floor; we had just finished taking our wedding pictures, it was our first dance as husband and wife. After the first chorus ended of the song which was Cry by Mandy Moore people came on the dance floor. After about 2 hour's of dancing my feet began to hurt, Serena wasn't just clumsy while walking. The reception was outside; table's where set up and no mosquitoes or bug's seemed to be out, it was a perfect night, there was a wooden dance floor, kind of like a stage in the middle of everything.
"Sorry." She said, apologizing for my feet. She then looked at all the happy people.
"I wish this night would never end." She said
"Oh but it's just began Serena." I said, she smiled and we sat down to dinner, there was beef and chicken, during dinner Andrew got up and tapped his Champaign glass with his spoon.
"I'd like to make a toast, to my best friend and his new and beautiful bride. I've known these 2 since we were 16, and they did not get a long, they really didn't get along, what where you pet names for each other you two? Hurricane Serena and Moronic, Concerted Jerk. *he chuckled* I kind of always had a hunch the reason you teased Serena was because you liked her Darien but you would always deny it and Serena I kind off figured our you thought there was some chemistry between you too but wasn't about to admit it, you both have too much pride to admit these things *he chuckled again* but still fate had found a way to bring you two together and I hope Mina and I have as much love as you to do." He said as he sat down, we were so touched and glad that someone had got this on video, because there was the guy who tapes messages you have you the bride and groom (you know)
Raye stood up
"I would like to say something also on behalf of, Mina, Lita, Amy and I, we all wrote this for you two. Serena and Darien, like Andrew said you two never got along but there was some special chemistry there. I never told Serena but when Darien and I used to hang out (aka date) he would talk about you, I couldn't get him to shut up, *everyone chuckles* I knew that one day you guys would be together and as fate would have it, I was right, a little after Mina came into our lives a coarse of event's changed everything." She said nobody but the scouts, Serena, Luna, Arteimis (yes the cats were at the wedding) and I knew what she meant, she continued
"Serena you realized that Darien was the dream man you'd been waiting to be with (Tuxedo Mask) and Darien you found you princess. (Princess Serena) Serena and Darien you are destined to be together, through good times and bad, all the days of your life and many more lives to come." She finished, everyone clapped, Serena and I were again very torched, you could tell, later we thanked the scouts and Andrew for making those speech's for us. A little after everyone was done with dinner an announcement was mad that we where cutting the cake, everyone flocked towards the 3 layer wedding cake that Lita had spent all day on, it was chocolate inside but white frosting, small real read roses and baby's breath went around each layer of cake. I cut the first piece and put it on a napkin, Serena then cut her piece, I fed the cake to her, actually more like stuffed it in her face, hey I couldn't resist and then she stuffed it in my face. Everyone clapped and then cake was served to everyone.
"May I have this dance?" Andrew asked Serena politely
"Just bring her back in one piece." I said, and then Mina came up to me
"Would you like to dance Darien?" she asked me, I smiled then got up and we danced, It kinda went like that, when Serena danced with Greg, I danced with Amy, when she danced with her father, I danced with her mother, when she danced with Chris I danced with Sarah, and so on with all our friends and some family. After maybe 3 hours of being apart I could take it anymore, Serena was dancing with her brother Sammy and I was dancing with his friend Mika! After the song ended I went over to Serena.
"Can I have this dance, Princess?" I asked her
"Thought you'd never ask." she said as we danced like we did back on the moon kingdom, the night was humid and it was a full moon. The reception was lot's of fun, though Serena didn't spend the whole night together, after all we were the host's in away. I'll never forget what it looked like, there was white light's hanging everywhere, a band playing any song we requested, the table's had white table cloth with another ed on over it and there was a pile of gifts that Serena couldn't wait to open, there was laughing and dancing and Champaign and a bar and it was just so happy, Serena looked so beautiful in her wedding dress. I didn't want it all to end.
At maybe midnight Serena through the bouquet and Mina caught it, Andrew told her not to get her hope's up. I hadn't noticed before but the scout's where wearing there color's, they all had spaghetti strap dresses up to there knee's, I took Serena's hand and we got in her convertible, she didn't want to use my bike. The back of the car said "Just Married" I drove her too Crystal Paradise Hotel.
