Bitter Fate

Chapter 2

"Dreams are renewable"

Little Useless Note: Yikes! A lot of people are complaining on why I didn't make Usagi stay single but don't you remember? The only reason she even thought of getting back with Darien is for Rini's sakes. This was called Forbidden Fate but I'm changing it. Forbidden Fate will be the next one.

Serena

"Molly" I whispered and turn to Darien, I didn't even bother to hide my tears. "Molly needs me! Darien! We can't leave now!"
"Molly will be fine" he insured me, with a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Don't worry, Melvin will be by her side"
I look away from him feeling disappointed. It's not her death I am worried about. He doesn't understand friendship and how a friend by your side is different from your lover. Molly is having her first child, and she wanted me to be the godmother. How can I not be there by her side? Why must we leave now?
"And remember" Darien said sternly, baring his dark eyes into mine. "We must leave without them knowing when and why. Meatball head..." he said when fresh tears came to my eyes. "I know what you are going through but I need you to be mature. It's not like I am not leaving a friend behind either! Think how much it hurts me knowing I could never see Andrew again! But do you see me crying?"
I could feel my anger building up. He would never understand Molly and my relationship, the bond of true friendship. She is my friend, not because she feels the need to be because I'm some moon princess but for me! The human simple Serena!
I bit my lips and walk into his car, destiny awaiting for me, for my new life. And before I knew it, many years went by.

________________________________________________

Darien, the other senshis and I moved to a small city. We lived a plain and simple life. It felt strange not having to fight for your life daily. Even though I will not grow old, I see changes in me. My once flat chest and grown into a full 34 C cup. My light eyelashes grew long and thick. And my thin lips and turned full and naturally red.
Here I sit at home doing nothing. I almost wish to have homework again. I wait for the people I knew before to die and the new era to began when I shall be queen. I wish it will never happen. I wish for my old life back. It has been six years since I last been to Tokyo. I don't even know if Molly is ok. Darien will surely be upset with me if I see her now... For I made everyone at Tokyo to believe he and I went to America to start a new life. I miss my old friends, I miss my parents, I miss the life of a normal teenage girl.

Here I am. Without telling Darien, I headed for Tokyo. I got myself room at a grand hotel and decide to eat lunch at the arcade I use to always play Sailor-V. The arcade is no longer there, instead it's all just a cafe now. Andrew is no longer just a worker but the owner. He has grown, no longer boyish good looking but a real handsome man. He has his daughter with him, the girl looks just like Rita, they must have married. I smiled at them while sipping at my favorite vanilla shake.
"Oh my gosh. Do you remember that really hot guy Darien when we were still in high school?"
I heard a girl say. I turn and recognize her from the same class as me in high school but I don't recall her name.
"Darien? Of course I remember!" said the girl's friend who is a pretty Asian girl.
"Well it turns out he married like, ten years ago and didn't get go to Harvard like we thought" said the first girl who is a Burnett.
"Who did he marry?"
The Burnett grinned. "Do you remember that dumb blonde? Serena?"
Hearing my name made me stop cold.
The Asian girl snorted with laughter. "Oh my gosh! You're kidding! That clumsy freak?! The Queen of all Dits?!"
"Yup" the Burnett tossed her hair back. "My cousin said he saw them living in Mexico! Serena is like, now three hundred pound and Darien is selling drugs to keep the food on the table for their eight kids"
Mexico? Me three hundred pounds? I tried my best to not toss my drink at them. Instead I walk over to them as they are still laughing about me.
"Excuse me" I said and the two stopped talking and gasp at me. They don't recognize me but looks at me over with envy.
"Hey I think I saw you before, you are some kind of model right? On Voyage" said the Asian but I shook my head.
"Wow! You're really pretty... What's your secret?" ask the Burnett.
"Living a clean life and not talk trash about others" I snapped. The two look at me with confusion.
"Do you know Serena?" the Asian one ask. I nodded.
"Not only do I know her, I am her" I said. The two turned pale, than red. I walked away.
