The Return

by: Eternal

The Talk of the ball

It had been a week since Serena started her new job and boy did she love her job. So far she has taken care of

patients that are 12 and under. SO far its been incredible and fun. Taking care of them and cheering them up as been very

rewarding. The head nurse was very pleased with her that she decided to keep Serena in the kids department.

Serena was very well known and loved at her department. As predicted, Molly and her had become great friends. Amy, Molly,

and Serena would always have lunch together, that is if their shifts don't get in the way. Serena was surprised to know

to see Andrew working there. Andrew had to been surprised to know that Serena was the new head nurses' assistant. Serena

hasn't seen Darien since her first day. Perhaps because they were both so busy and Serena was in a different department.

"Hello, earth to Serena." A hand waved infront of her face.

"Oh , Sorry Ames and Mols." Serena apologized.

"Hey, where were you? you really were spacing out." Molly commented.

"I was just thinking about the week and how I love it here already."

"Of course you would, you're already popular in the nursing department."

"And with the patients too." Amy Added.

"I'm popular?" Serena questioned.

Both of her friends nodded.

*Thats a shocker* she thought. There goes our Serena always the modest one.

"Hey what about that ball that is coming up! Have any of you find dates yet?" Molly asked.

"No" Answered Amy and Serena while shaking their heads.

"Do you?" Amy asked.

"Yeah. Melivn asked me." She sighed dreamily.

Serena and Amy smiled for their friend.

"Well I must admit something. There is someone I'd like to ask." Amy confessed while blushing red as a tomato.

"Who?" Serena and Molly asked at the same time.

"Zoicisite" Amy practically whispered.

"Oh Amy! I'm so happy for you! I'm sure he'll say yes." Serena squealed excitedly.

"Who's Zocisite?" Molly asked.

"He's one of my friends I met in America. He's also one of the friends that came back to Tokyo with me." Serena explained.

"So you introduced them?"

"Of course I did. I knew from Day 1 ever since I met Zoiciste that Amy and him would make such a great couple. Plus I saw

the compatability."

"Wow Serena, I'm really am proud. You've really matured and have become quite an observer." Amy commented.

"Thanks Ames." Serena smiled at Amy.

"So Serena is there anyone in your mind?"

"No. Not yet anyways."

"why not?"

"Well, I have just arrived to Japan a week ago and I haven't had time to fully settle in and go meet some guy."

"Than we must find someone for you." Molly offered.

"You mean as a blind date?" Serena asked

Molly nodded a "yes"

Amy and Serena just looked at eachother and sweatdropped.

"Eh..er..um..thanks, but no thanks mol." Serena said in hesitation.

Lunch time was over and the girls went back to work.

Andrew was walking to Darien's office and knocked.

He heard a "come in" and entered.

"Hey Dare buddy, how's it going?" Andrew asked while sitting down.

"The usual." Darien replied.

Andrew just shook his head.

"So guess who I ran into this week in here?"

"who?" Darien asked boringly

"Serena"

"Yeah, so?" I ran into her too."

"I can't believe she's the new head nurse assistant."

"To be frank, me either."

"Our little Sere is all grown up. I'm so proud of her. Did ya hear? She's popular among the nursing staff and patients."

"yeah"

"From what I hear she is incredible. I also hear she's getting popular among the male doctors too."

"huh?! why?" Darien asked.

"Well come on Darien, just look at her! She's gorgeous! which makes my job so much harder now! Andrew whined.

"What job?" Darien raised an eyebrow.

"Protecting her from all the scumbs out there." Andrew sighed.

Darien just blinked.

"Andrew, looks isn't everything." Darien replied in a slight anger tone.

Somehow Darien didn't like the ideas of guys lusting after his Serena.

*MY?!* he asked himself. He just shook his head.

Andrew caught the tone and grinned.

*Well someone's getting a bit jealous.hehe*

"Darien we know its not about looks. While some does probaly go for looks only, most will look at her personality as well.

Pal, Serena has it all. She has both looks and personality."

"yeah, well thats nice." Darien replied dully.

"Nice and rare. Which I'm sure guys wouldn't mind to go after." Andrew continued.

Darien was wondering if he could sign up for 'protect Serena from lusy men' club. He'd have to ask for Andrew the membership.

"Speaking of something else, got a date for the ball yet?"

"No and I'm not asking."

"Why not? Darien not only do you need to get out more often, but you need to socialize as well."

"Hey, I do!"

"Yeah with any business oriented people like doctors, directors and other people you deal with related to your career.

Need me to say more?"

" I already told you. I don't have time."

"Oh that's balony and you know it. You just find any excuse to avoid it."

"If I do, so what?"

Andrew just shook his head. He knew it'd be useless to argue.

"Nevermind. Anyway I was just stopping by as usual to chitchat."

"alright, see ya around."

Andrew got up and left.

Serena had stayed later than usual in the hospital. There was a sad little boy she wanted to take care. The little boy

had just gotten into an accident and was afraid of hospitals. Serena's heart broke hearing the child crying. She went in

the room and soothed the boy by talking to him, getting to know him and promising to be on his side on the day of his

operation. Serena had found out the boy was scared of the hospital because he's seen many people he loved hurt or some die.

Serena just consoled him and kept on telling him the 'good' points of the hospital. The boy was calmer but still a little

shaky. It took a while to calm the poor boy. As the boy went to sleep, Serena covered him in extra blankets and smiled

caringly at the sleeping boy. Serena had turned off the lights of his room, but left the door open for the hospital light

can brighten his room a bit. Serena looked down at her watch and sighed. It was 9 pm already. Her head nurse had left

already. So Serena went and changed out of her uniform and signed out.

Darien was walking around the hospital checkign among his patients before he leave. When he was ready to leave he heard a

sobbing child and a calming and soothing voice trying to calm the boy down. When he looked in the room he saw a very

compassionate and caring Serena. He saw the way she was soothing the boy by taking to him, getting to know him better,

building his trust and promising to be there for when he was going to get operated. He also saw the way she took care at the

now sleeping boy by covering him in extra blankets and give him the most caring look he'd ever seen. This tender moment

had touched his heart and looked on to Serena with a new light and loving stare. He felt his heart pounding. He shook

his head and walked away to sign out.

By the time when Serena had arrived to her apartment it was 10pm. During her way home she remebered she had to stop by the

grocery store and pick up a few things she needed. Work was certainly tiring, but worth it. Thank goodness the weekened was

here. She'll get to sleep in. So after she put in all her groceries where they belonged, she walked into her room and just

fell into her bed and the second her head hit the pillow she was right fast asleep.

*Ahh...sleep* she last thought.

The next morning Serena woke up to her phone ringing.

"ugh..." she moaned tiredly.

She opened her eyes and blinked a few times. She looked at her watch and it was 11:00 am.

*Wow I really must have been exhausted.*

Than she looked down at herself and noticed yesterday's clothing.

*Argh..I must remeber to unplug the phone in the mornings.*

Serena was getting sick of the annoying ring and picked it up finally.

"Moshi Moshi"

"Meatball head! What are you still doing at your apartment? Your suppose to be in the mall with us right now!" yelled Raye in

the other line.

Serena just sweatdropped and promised to get there now as fast as she could.

So she got up and started to get ready.
