*Chapter Two*
-----------
It had almost been a year since she saw him last. 16-year-old Serena was
swimming laps in her pool due to the fact it was extremely hot that day. Over the past
year she'd grown into a beautiful young woman. At the height of 5'3 she was incredibly
petite, except for her breasts and her incredibly long legs - both had been the object of
guys everywhere. Her long blonde hair, that fell past her knees, was up in a messy bun.
Although she was told often how beautiful she was, she never used it for her own personal
gain. Always feeling as if people were just saying it to make her feel better. There was
only one person she wanted to hear that from, and he was in an entirely different country.
"Serena, phone! It's Mina," Serena's mother Ilene called from the house.
She stepped out of the pool, picking up a towel to wrap around her body. She had
on a patriotic red, white and blue stripped bikini she had gotten for the 4th of July that
year. The top was made in a halter style and the bottoms were boy-cut. She walked into the
kitchen and picked up the phone her mother had left on the counter.
"Hey Mi, what's up?" she asked her best friend as she searched the kitchen for food.
"Not a whole lot Rena, what about you?" the blonde on the other end replied.
Serena and Mina had been friends for years, but Mina had moved up north to San
Francisco before highschool started. Mina Freeman was blonde and could pass as Serena's
twin. After skippping a grade back in elementary school, Mina had been the first friend
Serena made. She didn't treat her as if she was younger, like the rest of the kids, and
they became as close as sisters. When Mina had moved away, Serena had lost the only real
friend she had. Then she had Darien and her brother, but it wasn't the same. Mina had
just moved back to Calabasas at the beginning of their junior year, living two streets over
from Serena. Since Darien had just left, Serena was extremely happy to have one of her best
friends back. They'd had 4 out of 6 classes together, and also acquired 3 other friends
that year.
Lita Simons - a tall brunette with green eyes and was considered a tomboy, lived
across the street from Serena. Raye Hino - a Japanese-American with black hair that was to
her waist and violet eyes, lived with her Grandpa on the other side of their neighborhood.
Lastly, there was Amy Anderson - the school's smartest student, who had the most amazingly
natural blue-black hair and cerulean blue eyes. She lived with her mother, who was a world-
famous doctor, in an apartment complex near by.
Over the past year the girls had become the best of friends and did everything
together. Serena had told everyone about Darien and ever admitted to them that she loved
him, after telling them about the last time she'd seen him.
"I was swimming, and now I'm looking for lunch," Serena answered her friend's
question.
"So how much longer 'till the love of your life comes back?" Mina had been dying
to know when she'd finally meet this Darien.
"First, he's not the love of my life," Serena started, annoyed with her friend's
teasing. "Second, he comes home next Saturday, so you can meet him then, ok?"
"Sounds great! Agh! Rena, I gotta go, Ryan's here and we're going to the movies.
I'll come over tomorrow at lunch. Bye babe!" and with that Mina hung up the phone.
'Just like Mina, inviting herself over and then hanging up! Gotta love her.'
Serena sighed as she ate the turkey sandwhich she'd just finished making.
"Serena honey," it was her mom, "have you been over to the Shield's house in the
past week?"
"No mom. The last time I was there was to babysit Mel. Why?" Over the past year
Darien's parent's had just had a baby girl. She was 3 months old now, and whenever they
needed someone to babysit, Serena always offered. It was the easiest thing to do, since they
were practically her family too. The baby, a beautiful little girl Melissa, looked so much
like her older brother it was crazy. She has beautiful curly raven colored hair and blue
eyes. Of course her eyes weren't as beautiful as her brother's, but close enough. Every
time Serena saw her, she realized how much more she missed Darien.
"Well...it seems that Darien has come back 2 weeks early."
"WHAT?!?" Serena jumped to her feet. 'Darien's home? Why didn't he calle me?'
she thought to herself.
"He's been home since last Satur..." but Ilene Thomas didn't have the chance to
finish, for her daughter had dashed out of the house in nothing but her bikini, since her
towel had fallen off, to run down the block to her Shield's house.
---------------------------------------
Darien had just finished lunch when Serena came into the backyard of his house. He
was standing by the side of the pool, and seemed to be deep in thought, when she decided
to sneek up behind him quietly. Without warning his tall 6'5 body was submerged in the deep
end of the pool. When he surfaced he caught sight of the most beautiful woman he'd ever
seen. It was the woman who had been on his mind and in his dreams for the past year.

Notes: Chapter Two, DONE. Things definitely seem a lot better at 3am, what can I say? Oh
well, one more left until I have to decide what I'm going to do afterwards. I have all the
ideas in my head, I just have to get them all together and typed.
