A/n: Hi!!! This is the first chapter of my first fic! Oh, and the * * means that they're thinking this. Enjoy!!! Chapter One: Fallen Petals

*What am I going to do? I can't tell the scouts about this, not even Raye. Not even Darien.* * This is harder than I thought.*
Today was her check-up. Today was the day that she was gonna figure out if she had leukemia or not. Serena swallowed. She was going to find out if she had cancer. This was not going to be easy. She sighed. * I suppose that I shouldn't tell anyone. Can I do that?* She sighed again. * I have to.* She suddenly felt weak. * No! I can't faint! Not when I'm on the street! This is bad. Very bad.* "Oof!" Serena and Darien crashed. " Oh sorry Serena," Darien was brushing himself off and not looking up to see that Serena had fainted. (A/n Stupid! Yeah, go ahead, brush yourself off when your girlfriend faints! ; )
"Serena? Serena?" Darien was worried now. When he finally looks up, she was unmoving on the sidewalk. He lifted her in his arms (A/n: Awwwww! Isn't that cute?) , and carried her to the Arcade. Raye started to yell, but then she saw Serena in Darien's arms, unconscious. Her eyes softened, and asked worriedly, "What happened?" "Well, she bumped into me, and then she fainted," Darien didn't lift his gaze from Serena's still form.
"What did you do?" Amy, Lita, Raye, and Mina all said this in unison, Lita and Raye loudest. "I didn't do anything!!!" Darien was frustrated. "Look, we should probably get Serena home. I don't want her dad breathing down my neck any harder than he already is," Darien started to lift Serena again. "Okay," Amy was trying to restrain the others, especially since they all knew how bad Serena's dad's temper was. (A/n: please tell me what their names are, I only know their Japanese names!!!) All the girls decided to go along, so that Serena's dad didn't get too upset.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BABY???" Serena's dad wasn't exactly ecstatic to see them. Serena's mom whispered something in Serena's dad's ear. He paled, and then he nodded gravely and said gruffly, "Please take her into the living room, and set her down on the couch. Darien did just that. "Serena didn't tell you did she?" Her dad was asking them quietly. "Tell us what?" All were surprised. "So she didn't tell you." Serena's dad was getting paler and paler. * I shouldn't tell them if Serena didn't want me to.* So he made up a very, very, lame excuse. "Uh. about.uh. how. uh, she did very well in school today! Yeah that's it!" (A/n: man, I was not kidding when I said lame.) The scouts and Darien exchanged glances. They were obviously thinking the same thing. * Serena didn't even come home yet, how does he know?* But he was obviously very vexed, so they thought it was wise to just leave him. Serena's dad was very relieved at this, and said that they were welcome back any time. They were all surprised at the warm good-bye.
*Something fishy is going on here.* was all of their last thoughts as
they left.
"No. This can't be. How could our angel get such a fatal disease?" Her
dad was pounding the table. "Well, dear, all we can do now is bring her
to the doctor, but there really is no doubt this time." Serena's mom was
trying hard to fight tears. They hugged.
