Thank you! Thank you for your reviews!=) This is finally the ending of my story. I really really really really really really really hope you like it. Take care! Sniff I feel so connected to all of you now. I don't want to say Ciao yet! I'm going to miss you all and okay I'll stop yapping. Sniff Love you all and even if this is the last chapter, I would still appreciate reviews and comments on how you find the over-all story. Well, Gambatte ne minna san and FANFICTION ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oooooo I wish SM was mine but it isn't...I wish there's a real human Darien. Wouldn't that be great?! Ohohohohoho! Well if you're not a girl then all I can say to you is that wouldn't it also be great if there was a human Serenity?! Hey if you are one...don't forget to mail me. Jodai!!! (Joke) hehehehehe!
"What? You're going to go on a honeymoon again?" Lita asked excitedly.
Serenity laughed and nodded. "Yeah, Darien wants to have a second child, he says he
wants a girl." She giggled.
"Wow, that's great."
"And you, Lita? How are you in Russia? How's the Prince?" Serenity asked. 2
years has passed by since Darien woke up. During that time, Lita decided to
have a vacation in Russia. She met the Prince of Russia accidentally and they
fell in love.
"Hmm...well the Prince is still very romantic." Lita said dreamily.
"How's Lucy?" Serenity asked.
"Lucy's great! She's going to be 2 years old this coming September. She's just
so cute, Serenity. Her hair is curly brown and her eyes are like mine, green."
Lita said dreamily. "How about your Derick?" She asked.
"He's such a gorgeous little boy. When he grows up, how will I ever protect him
from a tidal wave of girls?" Serenity sighed exasperatedly in the phone.
"Tsk! tsk! You would need to borrow Darien's army."
"Maybe." Serenity agreed.
"WAH!"
"Uh oh!" Lita said. "I think Lucy tripped over something. I'll call you soon,
Serenity."
"All right. Goodbye, Lita."
"Buh bye, Serenity!"
"Click"
Serenity placed the phone back to it's receiver and smiled to herself. She was
glad that everything was so good.
"Visitors!" The butler announced.
Serenity quickly ran towards Darien's study. "Darien, We have visitors. I think
it's Danny and Kate. They called yesterday."
Darien grinned. "I wonder what they're up to."
Serenity laughed. "Let's find out." She grabbed his hand and the two of them
ran towards the parlor.
"Serenity! Darien!" Danny said cheerfully.
"Hello." Kate said.
"Danny, how are you?" Serenity asked while hugging him and Kate.
"What's the surprise, brother?" Darien asked suspiciously.
"Ahahaha!" Danny laughed and placed one hand at back of his head. "Why do you
ask, brother?" He asked.
Kate giggled.
"I see something in your face, Danny. Come on, spill it out." Darien said
encouragingly.
"Well..." Danny said shyly looking at Kate.
"Well what?..." Serenity asked laughing.
"We're getting married." Danny said softly.
Serenity and Darien looked at each other and burst out laughing. "That's the
news?" They asked incredulously.
"Huh?" Danny asked confusedly. "How come you're not surprised?"
"That's because you've been living together for how many years now, Danny? 2
years!" Serenity laughed wiping the tears in her eyes. "And I thought it was
something urgent."
Darien nodded in agreement with his wife. "You see, brother. Serenity and I are
already used to the idea that you two are already married even if you are not
because you've been together for so long."
Danny smiled. "Hehehe. Is that so?"
Kate got her hat and covered her face which was really red.
"What took you so long, Danny?" Darien asked.
Danny looked confused for a second.
"What took you so long to propose to her?" Serenity repeated Darien's question
and made it more understandable.
"Well..." Danny fidgeted around.
Kate touched him and said kindly. "I'll answer for them, darling. Well, you
remember that ring his father gave him. Well, it took Danny 2 years to make
sure that I won't reject that ring and last month, I told him that I want to
get married to him so he proposed to me immediately."
"Oh, so that's why!" Darien said enthusiastically. "You know, me and Serenity
are also going for a honeymoon." He said proudly.
"Darien wants a baby girl." Serenity said turning red like Kate.
"Um, isn't tomorrow your wedding anniversary?" Danny asked.
"Yup." Darien said putting his arm around Serenity.
"How come we didn't get any invitation?" Danny asked while pouting childishly.
"That's because we're not going to have a party. We're going to have a family
party. Me, Serenity and little Derick." Darien said happily.
"I'm sorry, we should have informed you that." Serenity apologized.
"No problem." Danny said smiling foolishly. "Well, anyway we wanted to give you
our wedding invitation personally." He got a beautiful piece of card from his
rectangular folder and gave it to Darien.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. I'll be expecting to see you three in my wedding day, all
right?" He asked demandingly.
"Sure." Darien said.
"In the front row."
"All right already." Serenity laughed. "We'll be there."
Danny looked at his watch. "It's already three. I've got to go, We still have a
meeting with the cardinal."
"See you at our wedding." Kate said while doing a curtsy.
"Bye." Serenity said waving her hands towards the couple. "Take care."
Darien looked at her lovingly. "You know, I was just wondering last night if
Danny would ever propose to Kate." He said with a silly grin tugging on his
lips.
Serenity eyes opened wide. "That's strange, I was thinking of the same thing
too." She said.
"Maybe we're psychics." Darien said and the both of them laughed.
It was their fourth wedding anniversary. Darien and Serenity spent the day
eating a huge breakfast afterwards, they watched a famous opera sang by a
beautiful young soprano.
During lunch, they had a picnic near the river. Darien brought a huge basket
filled with delicious pastries and different cold cuts. There was also an huge
container of fruits.
After they ate lunch, Darien and Serenity exchanged anniversary gifts.
"This is my gift for you, Darien." Serenity said lovingly as she handed Darien
a beautiful golden watch.
Darien smiled happily and kissed Serenity on the lips. "Thank you, love." He
said as he carefully put on the watch in his wrist.
"Well, won't you ask me why I gave you a watch among all things?" Serenity
asked.
Darien grinned. "Okay. Why?"
"Because every time you look at your new watch. You'll remember that I gave you
that and that I'm thinking of you every second of each day." Serenity said
sincerely.
Darien smile got bigger. "I'll do that." He said then he took out a small black
box in his jacket and gave it to Serenity.
Serenity gave him a strange look. "Uh...Darien, you know that you already gave
me too much jewelries, right?" She asked.
"Darien laughed. "Right. Go on...open the box."
Serenity still looked at him with the strange look on her face and accepted the
small black box. She stared at it and then back to Darien's face.
Darien gave her an encouraging look. "Go on." He said.
Serenity slowly opened the soft box. What could it be? When the small box was
opened. Her eyes widened and she looked at Darien.
"Is this..." She whispered.
"Yes, it's a key to our new house." Darien said.
"But...we already have a castle."
"You told me once that you would like to get away from here because it gave you
so much bad memories and I thought...I'd buy you a new house and we'll fill it
with happy memories with Derick and our future baby girl."
Serenity's eyes watered. "I...I never thought that you would actually buy me a
house...I only bought you a watch."
Darien laughed and hugged his wife tightly. "I don't need anything except you,
Serenity."
"What happens to the castle?" She asked worriedly.
"I'm lending it to Danny and his wife."
Serenity laughed. "That's good."
"Would you like to look at your new house, my love?"
"Correction." Serenity said suddenly.
Darien looked at her with a questioning look. "Huh?"
Serenity smiled and placed her hand on his cheeks. "I would like to look at
"our" new house, darling." She said softly.
Darien kissed her nose and stood up. "Let's go?" He asked while helping
Serenity stand up.
"Of course." Serenity took his hand and they raced towards the car. Darien
easily catch up with her and when he grabbed her waist, he tickled her.
Serenity laughed and tried to tickle Darien back.
The car stopped at a big yellow-colored cheerful house. It looked like it had 4
floors and a big playground in front.
"It's wonderful!" Serenity sighed. "This is the house of my dreams."
Darien grabbed Serenity's hand.
"Open the door." Darien said excitedly.
Serenity looked at him and had to smile when she watched Darien. He was acting
like a child who is so eager to play with a new toy.
She got the key from the box and opened the door.
"Wow." She gasped.
The floor was carpeted and the curtains was so high and the view on the terrace
was spectacular. It was a view of the city and the wind was so strong and it
felt good when it hit her face.
"I have something to show you." Darien said all of a sudden.
"Oh Darien, this is so...wonderful." She sighed as Darien led her to the back
side of the house. When he opened a small wooden door. It revealed a huge
garden. If you can't imagine how huge it is. Well...think of it as a garden so
big that you would get lost in it.
Anyway, the garden was filled with different varieties of flowers especially
roses. There were white, red and yellow roses. There was also other flowers
that were unknown to her but nevertheless, they were still so beautiful.
"Do you still remember that day when you said that you felt a thousand
butterflies when you're around me?" Darien asked.
Serenity nodded and smiled happily. "I didn't know that you still even
remembered that."
"I did." He said and he picked up a small piece of rock and threw it in the
middle of the garden.
Suddenly, butterflies emerged everywhere and flew around the garden.
Serenity hugged Darien tightly. "Darien...this...there are a thousand
butterflies here." She gasped as she watched the butterflies fly around them.
"At that time..." Darien said. "I thought that comparing your feelings to me
for butterflies were silly but now, I understand what you mean and you know
what?"
"What?"
"I feel them in my stomach every morning when I wake up and I find you beside
me or every night when I kiss you goodnight."
"A thousand butterflies, huh?" Serenity asked with a smile.
"Maybe more than that." Darien said lovingly as the night began to unfold and
the butterflies were still flying around them.
So, there it was. Two couples in a tight embrace surrounded by a thousand
butterflies in paradise. A paradise where it holds a promise of new great
memories for them.
The End.
Throughout pain and sadness, there is always happiness awaiting those people
who try their best to find it.
