Ok, so this is my first Sailor Moon fic, so be nice please? It is a song
fic, inspired by Lesley Gore's song "It's My Party". If anything in the SM
story line isn't exactly perfect, just think of it as using my author's
license to creativity! And I will be using the American names, unless
later on I decide to use the outers, and in that case, I like the Japanese
names better! Oh, and before I forget: (I went and fixed all of the
little things that didn't upload properly!) ~ ~ = thoughts and ~*~*~*~*~*~
= POV/scene change, if I can get this to load right. Onward to the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon, any of the other characters in that series, or any of Lesley Gore's song, so don't sue, you won't get a red cent. . . maybe a dog or two, but no money.
"I Can Cry if I Want To" Part 1, Chapter 1: Planning
He paced his living room all day it seemed. Back and forth, back and forth.
~Should I tell her? Will she understand?~ were his constant thoughts.
He was thinking about the troubling string of dreams he had been having for about two months now. At first they were bearable and he thought they would go away after a while, but now, Darien realized that wasn't the case. His dreams of Serena were getting more and more horrendous and gory every night. They took place on his and Serena's wedding day and just as they are about to say "I do", she would be savagely ripped from his arms by an unseen force. He would then hear a deep voice that was evenly-laced with evil: "Stay away from her or she shall die. . ."
He would wake up in a cold sweat now not able to sleep a wink the rest of the night. As these midnight occurrences went on, the voice would get louder and now Serena was dying a different death every night, the next more violent and blood-curdling than the last.
"Maybe I can tell her-," but he was soon cut off by the phone. As Darien contemplated answering, the sound seemed to never want to stop the incessant noise.
"Hello?" he asked, praying that it wasn't a tele-marketer.
"DARIEN CHIBA!!!!!" came Andrew's voice from the opposite end. Andrew had been best friends with Darien for a countless number of years now and knew something was wrong when he had not come into the local Crown Arcade for his usual cup of black coffee for three days straight now.
"What?!" Darien exclaimed, slightly annoyed now.
"Where have you been? We are all worried sick about you! Even Serena hasn't heard from you in a while! She thinks you are still mad at her because of her last test score." Andrew looked to Serena as a little sister and hated it when her and Darien would fight. ~Granted, there has been less of that since they started dating, but this is ridiculous, him just ignoring her outright for this long. . .~
"Yea, well, um. . ." ~Should I ask him for advice? No, I had better do this on my own.~ "I'll be right over there. Is Serena there now? Ok. Tell her to wait for me. Thanks."
~Well, whatever I do, I better do it quick. These dreams are getting too bad to be allowed to continue.~ He decided that he would have to do something that would definitely make his love hate him and never even want to see him casually passing on the street, even though it would put a great strain on him not to confess everything right there. He knew that this would hurt his dear Serena a great amount, but it had to be done. After all, she's Sailor Moon. . . she can take anything, right?
~*~*~*~*~
"Hey guys!"
The group of four girls heard Serena come in and waved her over. "So who is going to be able to come to my sweet 16 this Saturday?" the bubbly blonde asked her Sailor Senshi. Serena, the leader of the senshi and Princess of the Moon, had long pigtails flowing down to her knees from the small round buns on either side of her head, and light blue eyes. Everyone assured her that they were able to attend, and the conversation turned to what would be planned for the evening, and who they were each taking.
"Well, I am most definitely showing up with Andrew, if I can get him to dress up just a bit. . ." commented Mina, a young girl who had very similar blonde thigh-length hair as Serena, minus the crowning meatballs. The two near-twins also shared almost the same eyes, a sky blue, Mina's only a shade or two darker than the other's. "We will just have to work on some of your dates!" As the Goddess of Love from Venus, she was also the self- proclaimed matchmaker of the strongly diversified group.
"Oh no you don't!" Lita had had enough of the pretty-boys that Mina had set her up with. They were always dumber than rocks. (AN: Sorry for the overused expression, but it just fit.) "I'm going stag! Either that, or I'm finding my own date. One that can appreciate fine cooking!" The girls all smiled. Beneath the tough exterior, Lita was a great cook. But as the senshi of Jupiter, she was still the roughest fighter in battles, and was the best in the hand to hand combat. She had wavy brown hair that went a little past her shoulders, but for the sake of ease, always had it pulled back into a pony-tail. She also has emerald-green eyes.
"Fine! I will use my great love-sensing abilities where they are appreciated!" pouted Mina.
"I need a date!" piped up Raye, who, despite her stunning looks, always opted for help from her friend when it came to dates. Maybe it was just a humoring thing, but she usually liked the guys Mina picked out for her. Raye had velvet-black hair that cascaded down to her waist, and blue-violet eyes that could capture the attention of every male in Tokyo. She was also the fire senshi of Mars, and the Cherry Hill Temple priestess.
"Thanks, Raye. At least SOMEONE sees me for what I really am!"
"Yea, boy-crazy. . ." The group turned surprised eyes at Amy, the shyest of the girls, and stifled small bursts of giggles. Amy, however, had already turned her attention, or so it seemed, back to the French book she had been studying. She had very short blue hair that, for some reason, no one thought to be a strange color, and matching blue eyes. (AN: yea, I never got how her hair was naturally blue. . . wish I had that!) Amy is the water senshi of Mercury.
"Wow. Never thought I'd see the day when Amy would come out and insult someone, however little the insult may be!"
"Oh, don't pick on her, Raye," scolded Lita.
**grumble grumble** was heard from Raye's general direction.
"So are you going to need a date, too, Amy or will you be going with Greg?" the inquiring Mina wanted to know. At that, Amy reverted to her shy self and blushed slightly. "Yes, he will be coming with me." she stated quietly. Although they had been dating for a few weeks, she was still getting used to the over-all idea.
"Great! Now, the party starts at 8:00pm, but I will need you guys there earlier, say, maybe 6:00? I need help with the setup. Darien will be coming, and will you bring Andrew early, too, Mina?"
"Sure!"
"Speaking of, has anyone heard from him? Darien, I mean?" Serena asked with a frustrated frown upon her face. He hadn't called in 3 days and she was beginning to worry. As far as she knew, he hadn't even been to the arcade, and that was the best place to find him, next to his apartment, and she didn't know where that was. She was sorry now that she didn't pay attention when they drove there the only time she had seen it so far. ~What if he met someone else. . . no. . . nonsense. You would know if he didn't love you anymore.~
Serena snapped out of her thoughts to hear Raye.
"No, but maybe Andrew has. He is here all the time, after all," as she called him to their booth.
"What can I do ya for?" he asked with his usual cheer. "Have you seen Darien anywhere lately? None of us have, and he hasn't called Serena in the longest!" stated Mina.
"Now that I think of it, he hasn't come in at all this week. I'll go call him now and tell him you guys are worried. Do you need anything while I'm back there?"
"Naw, just go call him," Serena absent-mindedly whispered.
~*~*~*~*~*~
*ring, ring. . .*
"Hello?" Darien sounded as if he was preoccupied at the moment.
"DARIEN CHIBA!!!!!"
"What?!" ~ Ooh. . . he doesn't sound too happy to hear from me. Heh heh. ~
"Where have you been? We are all worried sick about you! Even Serena hasn't heard from you in a while! She thinks you are still mad at her because of her last test score." ~I hate it when those two fight, they are just right for each other, and Darien can't go and blow it! Granted, there has been less of that since they started dating, but this is ridiculous, him just ignoring her outright for this long.~
"Yea, well, um. . ." Darien paused for the slightest second. "I'll be right over there. Is Serena there now?"
"Yea, she's here with the girls."
"Ok. Tell her to wait for me. Thanks."
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Serena, Darien asked me to tell you to wait for him here," Andrew passed on the message given to him.
"That Darien! He has nerve to tell ME what to do, after THREE DAYS!!!" Serena huffed, arms crossed over her chest. Everyone could tell that the boyfriend was going to get it this time. ~After all, I can't just let him walk all over me, now can I? No, I can't.~ "But I suppose I will wait this time."
"What are you going on about?! You know you would wait until the end of the Earth and Moon for him!" Raye so nicely snorted.
"Andrew, I'm going to go wait out front for Darien. Did he say how long he would be?"
"No, but I'm sure it won't be long!" yelled Andrew, as Serena skipped off toward the double doors.
"Good! See you all tomorrow! And don't forget, we go shopping tomorrow after school for our dresses!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
As he rounded the corner, it was all Darien could do not to run smack into the small blonde bomb hurtling at him. ~She is just too cute. I can't believe I am going to have to willingly give her up.~
"Darien!" squealed Serena, now buried soundly in his chest. "What did you want to talk about? Andrew said you wanted me to wait for you?"
"Yea. About your party. . . are you going to need help with the decorations?"
"Yea, do you mind?"
"Not at all." Darien smiled at her. "Is Andrew going to be helping too?"
"Well, I was hoping that you two could put up the streamers, and the girls and I could set up the couple of tables."
"Sounds like a plan! Do you need me to walk you home?" Sometimes he s just really protective!
"No, I need to stop a few places along the way. See you tomorrow?"
"It's a date."
Well, that is the end of Part, 1, Chapter 1. I think I will have 2 parts, with 3 chapters in each, but I'm not sure just yet. I was originally going to write the whole thing then post it bit by bit, but then I wouldn't get a chance to add your input, provided I get any. LoL. R&R please, so I know if I should continue this little excursion of mine! Oh, and any ideas, flames, or whatever, feel free to put. ~*Lil-PrincessK*~
