Disclaimer: I don't own any of this....you know the usual routine, you don't own anything yet you don't want to be sued either...anyhow..start reading ;)

Note: Songs next to the Chapter Title is just music that....inspired me..or else I just thought it sounded good to blend with the chapter so everyone knows.

(AN: Last chapter at the end, about the "classified ad", I meant to type, "which it should NOT be", sorry for any confusion)

(AQ: Are there any deers in Japan? I know New Jersey's full of them, but I couldn't think of an animal that'd just jump out like that in the middle of winter.)

Chapter 2 - The Bed Was Made
(Kingdom Hearts - Kairi II)



It was two days since the accident. Darien was unconscience since then. Serena and her parents visited him the first they, and they had just left on the 2nd. The nurse came in to check up on him when he awoken. After checking his vitals, she went on to ask him a few questions. His name, his friends, memories, his parents.

Darien: My name, I think it had a 'D' in it. I remember my best friend, he's Andrew. I don't know why I remember a girl named Serena. I don't remember my parents too well.

Nurse: *Covered her mouth gasping* Your name is Darien Chibi. Your parents....they died in a car accident, you were with them. There was a girl with her parents here today, but I don't know their names at the moment. The hospital has no record of anyone to care for you, unless you know of any? *Asking hopefully, knowing full well that he wouldn't. Darien just shook his head.* Well rest up, you've been through a lot.

The nurse left him while thinking how awful it would be to have him go and lose both his parents, to be leaving, and only have fragments of his memory still intact. Also, she realized that if his father hadn't turned the engine off, the car could have quite possibly blown up, killing all three of them. Darien laid down feeling as though he lost something. He didn't know what exactly, but he knew it was important.

Serena, on the trip back home, just stared out the window of the car. Her mother just sighed. What could she say? Her daughter never said a word for two days. How could any of this have happened?

Serena thinking: Darien, please wake up. I don't want to be without you.

Mrs. Tsukino: Serena, dear? I'm sure he'll be okay, he's just resting. *Then looked over at her husband with begging eyes for help* Kenji, can you say something?

Kenji: What can I say, Ikuko? Serena, he'll be okay, he's tough.

What could anyone say? Serena just sighed. Just as suddenly as two days before, Serena felt a spark. Could it be, he's awake? I'll find out tomorrow when we go back.

The next day came, but Kenji had to work, he promised to go the next day. So Serena just had to wait until then. Mina, Lita, Amy, and Raye came over on Ikuko's request in hopes to cheer Serena up.


Mina: Serena, cheer up, huh?

Lita: Want a cookie? *She brought some that she made from home. Serena took one*

Serena: Mmm, this is really good, Lita *then took another one*

Raye: All this over a boy?

Amy: I read that girls may find love at an earlier age than boys would, so maybe this is more than just depression about a friend. By the way, do you think we should slow her down a little? *looking at Serena eating one cookie after another*

Lita: Hey, Serena, I know they're good and all, but don't eat so fast, you'll get sick.

Raye: Worse yet, get fat!


At that moment, Serena's mother came in with some chocolate ice cream. Serena jumped up and thanked her mother. Ikuko was somewhat stunned, but relieved to hear her daughter speak again. (AN: This hence started her "eating junk food disorder" hehe..yeah right...moving right along...)

The next day, Serena and her parents went back to the hospital as her father had promised. Serena ran to the room where she froze. Her parents caught up to her to see what made her freeze as she did. Then they saw it all. The bed was made, and empty.


(AN: Sorry, everyone/anyone who's reading it. But I like making people yearn for more. *grins mischieviously* Just kidding, but in all honesty now, I've already started and almost done with Chapter 3, so no problem, right? Yeah okay..)

--Avalonic aka IceBlade - I already have my plans for what I intend on having them do, but if anyone have any deep objections over it, I may change it. Does anyone want Serena and Darien to have their bumpy relationship to start? or just go straight to where they left off?
