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.
