On to the story!!! lol ^_^



Later that afternoon Serena found herself, once again in front of the

crown arcade. Sighing, Serena enters threw the automatic doors and sits

at her usual spot. Looking around the arcade, she quickly finds Andrew sitting at

a table with Darien, undoubtedly taking his break.

"Penny for your thoughts?" A deep male voice asked.

Serena turns on her stool, and looks up to non other than…

"Nephrite!!!" Serena harshly whispered, eyes going as wide as saucers, as

she tries to backpedal away from him.

The stools fetter her effort, finding her self on the arcade floor.

Still trying to move away from the trader, she pushes herself backwards

on the carpeted floor. Although her arm protests each and every move

meant, as she did so. Bumping into something hard, yet still had give,

Serena looks up hesitantly. Once again her eyes widen in disbelief.

"Malachite!?" Serena Squeaked.

Composing herself, Serena rises from the ground with the elegance of a

trained ballerina.

"What do you whish of me traders?" Serenity asked, her eyes narrowing.

"Be warned I do know how to protect myself."

"Relax Prin…Serena. We are not here to harm you." Nephrite finally

responded.

Dropping into a fighting stance, Serena watches the two men with steal

determination. Her eye's flashing silver blue.

Nephrite reaches forward and raps his hand around her injured arm, but

before he knew it, he was thrown backwards into a cross looking Malachite.

"…Then with out another word, she was gone!" Darien concluded his story,

of what had happened the other day.

"Wow, that's pretty exciting Darien. First Sailor V and now this mystery

woman." Andrew responded.

"How is it that you're always so lucky….." Andrew continued, but Darien

cut him off by suddenly reverting his gaze to a disturbance.

Serena was surrounded by two well built men, wearing black. First fear was evident on

her angle like face, as she clumsily fell to the floor, then seconds

later after she bumped into the other man screeching his name; she rose

to her feet with unknown elegance. Suddenly she moves into a fighting

stance, a determined look sketched on her face.

The brown haired man reaches out and grabs Serena momentarily, but she

throws him away from her with a painful movement.

Serena quickly glimpse at her arm, of which was once again bleeding.

"I am sorry for Nephrite's uncalled for tack tick, Pr….Serena. We have

only sought you out because we wish to…." Malachite started.



"Get away from her!" Andrew growled, as he and Darien protectively placed

them selves in front of Serena.

Looking from Andrew to Darien, Malachite's eyes slightly widen, but

quickly hides his reaction by bowing his head lightly.

"As you whish. Till next time my dear." Malachite spoke softly, spinning

on his heal he exits the arcade with Nephrite close behind him.

Once they knew that the two strangers where gone, they turn to look at

Serena.

Whom looked as if she were ready to cry, yet had too much pride to let

herself do so.

Serena had placed her right hand around the upper half of her left arm,

trying to hide and slow the bleeding of the cut.

"Are you alright meatba…..Serena?" Darien asked.

Looking up with steel, yet wet eyes, she nods her head.

"I am fine." Serena responded, softer than she intended.

Andrew steps forward and pulls her into a protective hug, but pulls away

the moment he heard her whimper.

Looking down at her left arm, a light trace of blood could now be seen

from under her hand.

Andrew moves to look at her arm, but she side steps away from him.

"I am fine." Serena spoke, more forcefully this time, tears threatening

to fall.

"No your not." Andrew spoke determinately, as he scoops her up and takes

her into the staffroom in the back, leaving Darien out front by the

counter.

"Andrew, put me down this instant! Ooooph." Serena squealed.

"You might as well let me help you because, I'm helping you weather you

cooperate or not." Andrew answered.

'Andrew is acting just like….' Gasp! Serena's eyes widen once again, as she

watches Andrew pull out the first aid kit. It couldn't be, could it?

Prince Solus, Air to the thrown of the sun, and her elder brother!
