Hey all!! Here I am again reposting this story. Since I accidentally deleted it. I would like to thank Ichigo and Kiwi for reviewing the first time around and my niece since she was sort of my inspiration for this story. A word list of all Italian words is at the bottom. Enjoy!

ALL THE GOOD IN THE WORLD

Chapter One: Milan! Here I Come!

It was a clear blue day when Serena Tsukino stepped out of the Malpensa Airport in Milan, Italy. The sun was shining on her silvery-gold hair. Her cerulean eyes were taking in the sights set before her. All in all, this was the perfect place to forget everything, to forget that terrible night a month ago. Yes sir, a fresh, new place was what she needed. And visiting her cousin was a plus in her new journey. They haven't seen or spoken to each other in two years, when Mina Thomas immediately left a day after speaking with her boss about a job opportunity in Milan. That day, Serena noticed that her cousin seemed kind of nervous, but just brushed it off as her having jitters about having to move to a grand and new city. When she bid Mina farewell at the airport, they cried their hearts out and promised to keep in touch.

'Well, that was a well promised kept', Serena sarcastically thought to herself. She tried mailing her letters that came back to her saying "no such person at this address". She called the Embassy trying to track her down, but after a couple of tries, she gave up trying to find her in such a large city. Her break came a week ago, when she received a letter from Mina saying that if this one actually reached her, that it wasn't her fault that she hasn't kept in touch. How she sent letters, but were always returned and that one day, she would visit her. That's when Serena decided that a necessary trip to Italy was overdue. She needed to take a breather from all around her and needed family at a time like this. That's why we now find Serena standing in front of the airport in Milan trying to flag down a taxi. Just as she was thinking that all taxi drivers were conspiring to either ignore her or run her down, one of them decide to slow down and let her in.

"Ove a tavola, signorina?", asked a very good-looking male blond sitting at the wheel.

'Oh! Why didn't I take Italian in high school! At least it almost sounds like Spanish. But I still don't know what he's saying', she thought. "Umm… I'm sorry. I don't speak Italian", she told the cab driver.

"Oh! A tourist! How good of you to come to our fantastic city! Well, what I meant to say is where to, miss? Do you want to see the museums, the castles, or how about our beautiful churches? The architecture is marvelous. You know, you look like a good friend of mine. Ah, but anyway. Where would you like to go?", the cabby said with a huge smile on his face and a very sexy, albeit heavy, Italian accent. His green eyes were full of… zest was all she could think of to explain it. If all the people in the city were like that and not artificial like the people she was used to in Los Angeles, she wouldn't mind living here the rest of her life.

"Well, I'm here to visit someone. Do you know where this is?", she asked telling him the address from the letter.

"Successone! I know that address! I know a girl who lives there. Maybe she's the one you look for. Her name is Mina."

"Yes! Yes! That's her! Wait a minute. How do you know her?"

"Ebbene, I know her the way I know you. I was her first taxi driver here for some reason fate decided and we, how do you say… copulare?" She just shook her head not understanding while he was searching for the right word to say. "Umm… I think you say connect. Is that right?"

"I don't… Oh! I see you two connected. You two became friends."

"Sì, sì. We connected, like you and me right now, and now she's like a sorella… I mean sister to me. Come now, where do you think I learned so good of English?"

"I think you mean, "where do you think I learned English so well". But yeah, that's her all right. She has a way with people that leaves you to wonder how she does it. By the way, what's your name?" Pulling out, Andrew answered,

"My name is Andrew Pastore. And, if I may ask, what is the name of the incantevole angelo that decided to grace me with her presence?"

Even though she didn't understand it, she knew a compliment when she heard one. Giggling, she answered, "My name, kind sir, is Serena Tsukino. Gosh, this is so exciting! I haven't seen Mina in so long. How fast can you drive? I want to get there as soon as possible."

"Iddìo! Just as energetic as Mina too! What are you, her sister? *Now* I know why you look like her! Per quale ragione me no vedere prima che?"

"Just as if she were. She's my cousin. All the family I have left." As she sadly said this, she looked out the window as to not show any emotion in front of a potential friend. It was hard, but she knew that she had to put all of this behind so as too not attract much attention to her past. She couldn't trust anyone, except for Mina. Anything she says or does might get back to the states. She didn't need anyone to know where she is, in fear of the one man that brought so much pain to her life. As far as she knew, he could have connections right here in Milan.
