The Game of Love
Chapter 2
Serena shyly peered out the window and she let out a gasp as a sight met her eyes that they would never have believed. A red jeep crammed with 28 of Serena's former lovers rapidly approaching the limousine and being driven by none other than the most unexpected driver imaginable. Edward was driving, which he had never done in his life, and seemed to be having trouble to control the wheel and wore a look upon his face of terror while some of the other princes' told him to hurry up.
The two tallest of the princes' took out voice magnifiers and yelled out pleadingly, "Serena! Come out, we know you're in there! Serena, love, come out!"
Genkis had a look of determination and bewilderment written on his face. He was pleased that he had picked such a popular girl and won, but he didn't want to lose her now, "Jeeves, I'll need you to do a double speed, Serena, come here."
Serena immediately collapsed in his arms as the speed doubled, very afraid that the doors might fly open and the car would go crashing at any moment. Genkis whispered to her softly and stroked her back to comfort her. Serena whimpered, very scared, but couldn't help but notice the faint smell of cologne upon Genkis, * He smells good. *
They arrived at the dance in a hasty five minutes and hid among the crowds, but Serena doubted it would be long before her seekers would notice her illuminating light blonde hair and Genkis seemed to be more protective of her than ever, troubling her a bit. She was relieved when a chirpy voice called out, "Serena, over here!" and a smiling Mina waved for her to come over. Serena quickly excused herself from Genkis and hurried over to Mina.
"Mina, I need your help again!" Serena burst out, half crying half laughing.
"I know," Mina assured her, "I can read love trouble from your mind, but I wouldn't be so worried about that, Serena. Half the people in here are my friends from the moon, all-dateless and ready to grab every prince they can spot. What I am worried about is the secret I still have to tell you and another thing," After Serena did a little, "Yip!" of joy, because she loved surprises, Mina handed her an object wrapped in paper and whispered in her ear, "From your mother, she told me to give it to you. Open it only when you are alone. And the other thing is.well, Serena, I think something weird is going on. I tried to contact Myra, but she won't pick up, and she promised me an open line of communication in case anything happens."
"I'll ask Mr. Million about her when I come home, I promise," Serena answered faithfully, while seeing Genkis come towards her, " Bye Mina, hey Genkis!"
"Care to dance, Miss Serena?" Genkis asked, trying to put on a gentleman look.
Serena giggled, "Of course, silly, I promised you a dance!"
He wrapped his muscular arms around her waist and began to dance divinely. Serena leaned her head upon his shoulder and thought about how nice this all was. They floated across the dance floor in a feeling of peace, but out of her eye, Serena caught someone watching them. This person took Serena by surprise, he was even more handsome than Genkis, yet his eyes seemed shadowed from lack of sleep, and his mouth would not allow a smile. When he noticed her staring back at him, his stare only became deeper, which startled and scared Serena.
Serena looked away nervously, although she wasn't the usual type to do that sort of thing, she was more competitive, but then again, the stranger did not seem at all a usual type of person. It could have been none other than Darien Chimes, but why wasn't he staring at some other people? Serena, becoming once again more true to her personality, she would not be disarmed by someone who stared at her! She turned her attention instead to snuggling closer to Genkis and finally to looking about the room for the other disguised princess' from the moon and their dates. The first one she saw was princess Amy, dressed in a simple blue dress. Serena gave a small cough to keep from laughing when she overheard Amy talking to a wide-eyed and obviously bored boy with brown hair about particles and matter of today's technology. It was a wonder what kept the boy from leaving Amy altogether, then Serena saw the boy do something peculiar. He whistled a bit, while getting an item from his pocket and slowly went closer to Amy. He placed the object near her back, whispered something in her ear and they both headed towards the door. "Excuse me one moment please, Genkis," Serena said but halfway through, was already advancing towards Amy.
"Amy!" Serena yelled as loudly and as obnoxiously as she could to get the couple's attention. She grabbed Amy's Arm and nodded to Amy's partner, "Sorry, I need an opinion and have to borrow her for a moment." The boy could only stare, with a shocked kind of expression, and finally waved his arms for them to go to whatever they had to do.
"Amy. Are you alright?" Serena whispered anxiously, still holding onto Amy's arm.
"Yes, I think so. You said you needed an opinion." Amy questioned, her face demanding.
"Well, I was more worried about you. Did he threaten you with a knife, or was it a gun?" Serena continued, still worried.
When Amy only blinked, Serena turned bright red and mumbled, "Oh well, I thought he was attacking you or something."
Amy laughed a bit and replied seriously, "He wasn't threatening me, well, at least not really, but I am a bit glad you pulled me away."
Serena curiously asked Amy why. Amy blushed a bit and told Serena, "Do you recognize who I was with? Prince Drake. He came here disguised two days ago trying to work up the courage to.to.. he asked me to marry him!"
Serena's cheeks turned a deeper red and she found her head spinning with confusion, *and I thought he was attacking her! *.
Serena gulped, "Then that object he was pushing you with behind your back?"
Amy giggled, "An engagement ring, in its box. He wanted to take me outside to show me. I think I have decided though, I can't say yes. I don't know if I truly love him. Thank you for being concerned though Serena. Goodbye!" And with that Amy walked over to her partner again and they walked outside together. Serena turned around again, a silly sort of smile upon her face, this was turning out to be a rather interesting evening.
While Serena was gone, Genkis spoke with his friend Brentin.
"What do you think of her Genkis? Is she suitable for the finder's lab?" Brentin wondered aloud.
"She's definitely a gem, Brentin. She seems to hang on me like all the others used to, but she seems to have many friends she keeps disappearing to. I'll have to make up an excuse of some sort for her when she goes missing. So that people don't get suspicious, I'll stay with her a bit longer, get her to trust me, to tell lies to her friends for me, " Genkis planned.
"Well, I'll hand it to you Genkis, you always seem to get what you want, except for Lette, you could never have let, and now she's dead. A question for you, if you could have anyone, who could you have?" Brentin inquired, making conversation.
"No one could replace Lette. Now that she's gone, I can only work on the finder lab experiments, only think of helping the lab, because it might be able to bring Lette back. It's not much of a chance, but it's the only chance I have." Genkis said slowly and painfully, a sad look hanging over his eyes.
"Cheer up Genkis. I don't think that lab of yours is any good, in my opinion. All that lab really does is change people. Modify their hearts and turn them into robots, building themselves an army. That's what they'd do to Lette, no turning her back into what she used to be. Find someone else Genkis," Brentin expressed openly, then eyeing his friend's depressed figure, said a little more cheerfully, " I know its been a long time, but what if you found someone like Lette. Do you believe in the reincarnation of the soul? Where Lette's soul, after it has dies, could come back into the soul of another? Maybe its possible, no matter what science says, maybe someday, somehow, in some way, you'll find her again."
Genkis snorted and faced Brentin, "You're pretty off in your thoughts somewhere Brentin, but thanks, it makes me feel, more sane than I usually feel."
After a frown from Brentin, Genkis laughed heartily and told him, "Really Brentin, thank you, yet I doubt I'll ever find someone like Lette again.
As Genkis left to go find Serena, Brentin looked up and let his mouth hang open. Lette? No, not possible, thought Brentin. He was seeing it, but he could not believe it.
________________________________________________________________________
Serena rushed by Genkis, told him she would be back again soon and hurried off to the bathroom stalls. There, she unwrapped the object from her mother, as she had at last gotten too curious to stand it any longer. She stared at it for a moment, wondering what was so wonderful. It was a moonstone in the shape of a moon. She shook the wrappings out to see if there was anything else. A sheet of paper fell out that read:
When moon is light I'll come by night And change my form Till light of day
Serena knew her mother liked poems but this was going a bit too far. Serena shrugged and put the object in her pocket. She would figure out the mystery later, right now she had a date to attend to.
If she had been looking more carefully, she would have noticed at that moment, that the moon was not simply glowing when she stuffed it into her pocket, but that from it, there was a small voice saying, "Open me."
Serena hurried back to Genkis, pulling him into another dance.
"I think it's about time we had some punch. Do you like punch?" Genkis asked, while they swirled around to the beat of the music.
"Love it," Serena put in enthusiastically, "Let's get some."
As they advanced towards the punch table, several people stopped them. First Mina stopped by, "Serena, some of the Prince's have somehow gotten away from their captor's, be on the watch out." Almost right after that Prince Diamond walked up to Serena, " Serena love, come have a dance with me," and took Serena into his arms at once. Genkis, spotting this, yelled loudly, told Diamond to back off, and Diamond told Serena, "I'll be back later then, your jailer will not let you be free it seems. Promise me a dance, lovely Serena," then Diamond turned and walked away, feeling a bit down.
Serena was almost at the table when someone walked up to Genkis and whispered, "Genkis, its her!"
"Brentin, are you crazy. She's gone!" Genkis hissed, eyeing Serena, tensely.
Brentin put both his hands on Genkis' face and turned his eyes to look at someone right across the room. For Genkis this was a moment of utter shock. Lette? Here? Now? In this room? Genkis probably would have passed out but he could not tear his gaze from the girl. Serena, followed their eyes and began laughing hysterically and saying,
"Sillies! Do you want to meet her? I can introduce her to you if you want," Serena said encouragingly, although she knew it might cost her her date, Lita was a good friend and it seemed these people also wanted to be Lita's good friend.
They walked over to Lita and they were introduced. Brentin had abstracted himself from staring, but Genkis was still staring. Lita looked him up and down, after Serena told her something, and smiled, then took his hand towards the dance floor. They danced and danced when finally Genkis mentioned,
"You look so much like someone I knew."
Lita's smile wavered for a second, "I don't want to be a rebound off an ex girlfriend."
"No, no, she passed away. She was kidnapped and her body found later on. I've never forgotten her," Genkis explained quickly.
Lita felt bad now and gave him a big hug, "I think I owe you an apology, hows about you come outside with me for a walk as compensation."
"That would be great," Genkis, answered, a smile lightening his face unlike any smile he had had for a long time.
Serena felt as though finally some things were going right since she had gotten to earth. Mr. Million was probably too busy with Myra to pick up phone, she had finally figured out what her mother had sent her (or so she believes), she knew almost everyone's date, she had seen the mysterious Darien Chimes, and felt she would probably find out more about him later on. She had even found out about a wedding, knew the answer her friend would give, knew it didn't matter if her date had gone, one of the disguised Prince's would come to her aid, as a matter a fact, she could see Diamond and Edward still looking longingly at her. Serena came towards Diamond, "I believe that I am now free to accept your offer of a dance.
"With pleasure, princess," He bowed, kissed her hand, and they began dancing slowly to the beautiful music, it was a slower song.
"Princess, words cannot really describe how I feel for you. I want to take you away and give you everything as long as you'll always be by my side," Diamond whispered in her ear, also rolling his tongue around, giving Serena shivers.
"But Diamond, where would we go? What would we have? I would have to have mother's permission first," Serena giggled.
Diamond pulled her closer, and danced their way to a wall. He pushed her up against the wall, " It wouldn't matter princess, as long as you were there, then there are always ways."
"Diamond, I must go now to give Edward a turn for dancing, and maybe I'll think about what you have said," Serena whispered softly.
"That's right Mr. Diamond, begone. My turn! I did the driving," Edward turned towards Serena, grinning, " Serena, princess of the moon, I have come to rescue you from this Diamendo jerk. Will you take my hand and honor me with a dance like escaping by horseback from an enemies?" Edward began.
Serena pushed Diamond away, "Later Diamond," she winked and began to dance with Edward, but for some reason, she felt very strange in Edwards's arms. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mina and Amy trying to get her attention. She looked again and saw Lita still dancing with Genkis. Suddenly she felt a bit tired, but glanced up once more to look at Ray, who was looking at her worriedly. He pushed Edward away and backed up, feeling energy somehow flowing back into her at once. Something strange was going on. "I'm sorry Edward, I have a headache." Serena explained.
For a moment, Serena saw Edward smile, but then he quickly put on a polite frown and told her she should probably take a rest. Serena immediately ran over to Ray and the rest of her best friends from the moon, now disguised as humans.
"Something is wrong," Serena started.
"Yes," Ray responded, " Were you very tired when he danced with you? Before he was dancing with that girl over there, (Ray points) and now she's asleep, all her energy gone. Don't dance anymore with Edward, we're having a meeting tomorrow morning about it, meet us at the temple that's 2 kilometers away from your house, easy to spot, at noon. Don't be late."
Serena nodded and turned to walk back into the dance room. She felt oddly at peace and wondered why. She looked up and gazed into the eyes of Darien Chimes.
"Hello," he said quietly.
"Hello," She responded, hadn't Genkis told her all Darien did was sit and watch? What was he doing talking to her, or even better, what had he been doing staring at her and only her earlier in the evening? She looked at him again and thought of a million questions to ask him, he seemed patient enough to answer them all. He was also so handsome. They stayed there like that until it seemed a million years had passed, standing there, peering into each other's eyes, creating a sort of understanding between themselves. Finally, Darien leaned forward, almost seeming about to kiss her, and whispered, still looking into her eyes,
"Would you care to dance?"
