Serena stared at the stars in the midnight sky. It
was dark, the black cloak of night covering the evening sky.
It was such a pretty site, she decided. And it took her
thoughts away from Darien for sometime.
She lay back on the grassy hill under her favorite
tree and sighed. She couldn't understand herself lately, she
was seeing Darien like she had never seen him before and this
morning she had caught herself attempting to wear her hair
down to school. Lucky for herself, she caught herself just in
time and bunched it all under her cap. A pang hit her
stomach, and she realized that there was really a female
under all of the masculinity of her clothing, of her
appearance. And, it was just showing up.
She banged her fists on the ground. Why couldn't it
have happened when all of the normal girls were becoming
girls? Why couldn't she have been feeling all of these
disturbing feelings then?
A groan stirred her from her thoughts. She sat up,
then looked in the direction of the noise. At first she
thought it was some kind of intruder, then she remembered
that she was at the park. She almost laughed at herself until
she found the source of the noise. It was Darien and some
girl from school. They were latched onto each other like
Velcro, kissing and hugging and groaning.
A noticeable flush stained Serena's cheeks as she
watched them. Instead of being repulsed she was somehow
wishing that she were the one lip locked with him under the
starry night. And, Serena almost fainted at her thoughts
alone. What was happening to her? She got up quickly and hid
behind the tree. She leaned back against the other side of
the tree trunk so that she couldn't see them and they
couldn't see her.
She was mortified to say the least. At her thoughts
and at her reaction. What was the world coming to when Serena
Tsukino wanted to be kissed. And that small female part of
her answered. It was the longing that she had always had,
never acknowledged. She banged her head against the tree in
frustration and admitted begrudgingly that her conscience was
right.
But how in the world did a she-male reform back to
the female she was born as??
It was Sunday again. Serena got out of bed, groggy
from the little sleep she had gotten the night before. Her
mind was clouded with thoughts of him, there was no room for
sleep. She looked at the clock, then jumped out of bed when
she saw she only had 10 minutes until the football game
started. She had to get dressed and get to the park.
She ran into the bathroom, grabbed her toothbrush and
brushed her teeth as she jumped in the shower. She 5 minutes
later, she was out of the shower, dragging on her clothes and
a rubber band. In her hurry she grabbed the first hat that
she had seen on her shelf, then raced out of the door,
muttering a greeting and goodbye to her mother.
She reached the park out of breath and red and pissed
as ever. She was definitely ready to play today. The guys
were gathered around, choosing teams. She walked as fast as
she could to the group.
Andrew looked up as Serena joined the group. He
smiled viciously at Serena and she almost laughed.
"Alright, so Darien for his team, and I am captain
for mine."
There was a murmur of assent.
"We'll choose our team members."
There was another murmur of agreement and the
choosing began.
Andrew went first and with a glare in Serena's
direction, he said, "Serena."
Serena almost choked. What was with him?? She had
always been on Darien's team. She rolled her eyes and walked
to Andrews side, not even sparing a look at the man who had
spent more time than he should have in her clouded mind.
Darien just looked oddly at Serena, then lifted an
eyebrow in Andrews direction. They continued to choose their
teammates.
The teams were ready and set. There were 7 people on
each team.
Serena was on the offensive team.
Darien's team kicked off, and Ken caught the ball and
started running. The other teammates blocked for him. Darien
tackled him at the 40 yard line. They huddled.
"Okay, so here how it's going to be guys. And girl."
Serena just glared at him. "Go ahead Andrew."
"I'm going to hand off the ball to you Serena. You
have the speed and agility to get us to the seventy or eighty
yard line. I want Ken to run at the same time in the same
direction so that they are confused. That should give you
enough time to gain some speed Serena. Then you run like
hell. Got it?"
Serena nodded, and they set up.
"Go. Set. Hike!"
Ken ran towards Andrew, Serena ran towards
Andrew. They both came out looking like they had the
football. Some of Darien's teammates started following Ken,
then they realized he didn't have the ball and went after
Serena. Darien was on Serena's tail and she was 5 yards from
the 60. She ran harder.
Darien was gaining and suddenly, out of nowhere,
Serena's hat flew off of her head.
"Shit." She said to the wind furiously but ran
anyways. Darien tackled her at the 70 yard line.
They were both rolling on the ground and Serena held
onto the football. Darien was on top of her and Serena stared
into his fathomless blue eyes, her hair fanned around her
head. He looked so beautiful at that moment, Serena's heart
ached. Time seemed to stop and she was drawn into the depth
of his eyes. Darien's face inched towards her. Then, like the
suddenness of the contact, he backed away. He grinned, but it
didn't reach his eyes.
"Nice hair." He jumped off of her and headed over to
his group.
Serena was still in shock, laying on the ground. Was
he going to kiss her or something?? Why did he move in like
that?
So many questions. She saw Andrew hovering above her,
smiling.
"I've never seen you with so much hair Serena." He
held out a hand and helped her up.
Serena laughed, trying to ease the tension in her
stomach.
"Yeah, yeah. Where's my hat?"
Later that night, Serena sat in her tree, eating her
tuna fish sandwich. She was pondering over the same thing she
had been thinking of for weeks when that very same "thing"
showed up at her door.
His hand was raised to knock when Serena called out
to him.
He turned, not smiling. He just stared at her. Then
he shook his head and headed over to the tree.
"Hey Serena."
Something was wrong, Serena thought.
"Just a sec, Dare. I'll be right down."
"You don't have to-" He started but Serena was
already halfway down. Then, by some sordid twist of fate, her
foot slipped three branches from the last and Serena fell
from the tree.
It didn't hurt that much and that wasn't the main
problem. Serena's shirt had ripped on the way down and it was
open showing the tape around her breasts. She jumped off the
ground and looked at Darien. He was staring at the tape in
shock. Astonishment was written into his features as he
stared her down. Once again, her hat had fallen off, and here
she was, the Serena that she had hidden so many times.
Serena glared at Darien, yanking her shirt closed and
walking past him to her house. She started as his hand snaked
around her wrist.
"Serena. Are you okay?"
Serena gathered her courage and faced him.
Bewilderment was written for everyone to see in his cerulean
eyes.
"Yes." She blushed, she couldn't help it.
"Why are there tape over your… breasts?" Darien
almost choked on the words. He never imagined Serena with
breasts, let along taped ones.
"Umm… It's none of your business."
"Isn't that unhealthy Serena? I mean.." he trailed
off.
Serena looked away.
"I guess it's not healthy. It's just that I look like
some kind of horse with out it taped. I hate it because they
bounce when I run, even if I'm wearing a sports bra, and
they-" she broke off appalled at herself. Why was she telling
him this?
Without warning, Darien doubled over into hysterical
laughter. He didn't know if he was mental or if the situation
was really that funny. But something struck a cord that
started him laughing and he couldn't stop.
Serena blushed in anger and embarrassment.
"Shut the hell up you jerk. Just shut it. I swear
I'll-"
He fell on the ground, gasping for breath.
"I'll kill you, you arrogant jerk. You don't know
anything. I'll shoot you. I'll-"
"Serena-" he finally managed to say though his peals
of laughter. "I don't know why it's so funny so if you will
excuse me, I think I'll just be heading home." He laughed
even harder.
A red haze clouded Serena's vision and she tackled
him. She was furious. Darien's laughter quickly stopped. He
stared at Serena who was over him, glaring at him with her
ripped shirt. He didn't think this was funny anymore.
"Serena, I think you better get off of me."
"Oh yeah?" She lifted an eyebrow in mockery.
"Yes. Or else."
"Or else what?"
She didn't see it coming. His hand reached for the
tape at her breast and pulled it off. Mortified, Serena
jumped off of him.
"That." He said, but his eyes were focused on her
breasts. Now with no tape, they were much larger than he had
expected. In facet, he had never even imagined Serena had
breasts so seeing them in the plain white bra was shocking
enough.
Serena blushed and closed her shirt.
"I told you, I'm a cow." She looked away, into the
distance.
"Serena, your definitely not a cow."
Serena turned sharply. His voice was different. It
was deeper somehow and it sent delicious chills down her
spine.
"What do you know. I'm leaving Darien. I don't even
know why you came here."
"Wait. I wanted to… apologize. About that incident on
the field. I'm sorry, I mean I was… well I just wanted to say
sorry."
Serena blushed again, scolded herself for it, and
then smiled up at him.
"I know my hair was probably some kind of shock but
it's okay Darien. You didn't do anything but tackle me."
And with that, she walked back into her house.
Darien stared after her wondering about this new
Serena he was seeing, and about the changes he was seeing in
himself. He wasn't quite sure how everything was adding up
and he wasn't up to thinking about it at the moment.
