Third person's POV

The light shined through the bedroom window. Slowly the blond girl opened her eyes. At First she was confused as to where she was. Then it dawned upon here, she was home. It is home, right now, at lease. Isn't it? She was a Dayton by birth after, and she had made the decision of to move to the United States of America, hasn't she? YES! Still, could this have been a mistake after all? NO! Just to see that happy face of Ryan should have made her realize how important it was for her to come here. But she already missed Japan, the really home she ever knew. Now that place feel so so far away and it had nothing to do with the fact it was on the other site of the planet.

For the first real time, she took a look around the room. Her room. It was one out of the three-parted suit and already it was at least four time of her old bad room in the Tsukinos.

The Tsukinos, she really had hurt them. She didn't mean to, but she has a right o get to know her real family. They had promised her mother they'd tell her when she turn 14, yet she didn't tell her until she was 16. Even that was by accident. They betrayed her mother's wish, the wish of a Queen.

Shaking her head, the girl made herself to forget all that, putting her attention back to checking out the room. This is the room she'd live in, for god knows how long? The room was pale pink, but still pink enough for her to notice. She wondered how Ryan could have known. Then again, maybe she had loved the same color a thousand year ago in her last life. She smiled at the idea.

At the far corner of the other half of the room was a white sofa. It was just as she would have picked, given the choice. To the left of the sofa was the drop down window that was really a sliding door, which led to a small balcony. Since the curtains were up, she could see there was a set of patio chair and table, again, it was white. To the other side of the window was a maple bookcase, facing the side of the sofa. Between the bookcase and the bed was a five drawl matching case. On the other side of the bed was a matched maple night table; on it was a silvery digital clock, as well as a similar shaded silver light in the shape of a moon. She smiled at that. To the other side of it was a makeup set table. On the wall facing the patio were two sets of doors. The one closer to the bed was the washroom. The other she assumed was the closet. Finally, the door that would lead to the sitting area of her suit, the door that was been knocked on at the moment.

"Who is it?" the girl in bed asked while pushing away the sheets and trying to sit up.

"Ms Dayton, It's me, Rosa" a deep Spanish accented female voice came back. The housekeeper.

"Go ahead and come in."

The door opened and in came the Spanish woman. She was little short. She had shoulder length deep brown hair and a pair of shiny warm brown eyes that were like chocolate. She was in here late 40s. "I wasn't sure if you were still sleeping or if you had been up for a while, with time difference in Japan."

"Neither actually. I woke up about ten minutes ago. I was looking at the room when you knocked."

"I see. You like?"

"Oh yes. I like it very much."

"Your daddy picked it out."

"Daddy have good taste!" the girl said with a proud voice.

"S¨ª. I suppose, considering he had married one of the most beautiful women." Rosa comented. The girl looked confused. "Your mother, Selene. She was said as one of the most beautiful women in the 1970s. She was a bella."

"Did you have a good sleep?"

"Yes. I must have been really tired from the plane ride. I remember coming up here to get a change of cloth and was going to come back down for dinner, I must have been so tired, I decided to rest a bit, but instead fell asleep."

"S¨ª. You must have been. Since you didn't eat anything last night, you must be hungary." As if her stomach knew, it stared to grumble. "I'll take that as a yes. You go and wash up and then go straight down to the kitchen." Nodding, she turned to go, then when she realizes she forgot something. The something Rosa had in her hand.

"I should make the bed."

"Then what am I to do?"

"But.." she started to say. Rosa cut her off, "No buts. Bella, I'll take care of it. It's my job. I clean, Joseph gardens, Juan drives. That's what we do. You go, wash up." Rosa referring to the jobs her family does for the Daytons.

When she recognized the nickname, Serena asked, "Rosa?"

"S¨ª?"

"I like been called Bella, it's much better than Ms. Dayton. You never have to call me that. You know I hate formalities. I've always preferred to be called Serena, but Bella from you mean more. But ... you think I'm beautiful?"

Rosa smiled. "s¨ª. You are very beautiful. Just as your mama was. How did you....?"

"El espanol est¨¢ en mi sangre" Serena replied in fluent Spanish.

"S¨ª Bella. S¨ª. Oh you remember?" Rosa asked disbelievingly, her eyes tearing.

"S¨ª Rosa. Not everything, but most. Al the important things and little details." Rosa nodded her head as if she understood. Serena continued, wiping her own tears away, "you used to called me Bella when I was a baby here on earth, as well as before, on Luna."

"Oh Princesa Serenity." Rosa said in Spanish, hugging Serena close. Serena hugged the older woman back tightly as well "We've missed you so much."

"And I you."

"We stop crying. We should be happy, we thank Selene, la diosa."

"S¨ª."

"You wash up." Rosa said.

Nodding, Serena walked into her own washroom.
