"It's been three days!" Mina said as they sat around the hospital lounge. "Amy, can't your mother do anything about this?" She asked, snapping around to look at the blue haired girl.
"I'm just as worried as you are, Mina! My mother can't do any more then what she has already done for Serena. She's been only focusing on her for these past few days so we should be grateful!" Amy snapped back.
"Stop fighting you two! It's not making things any better." Rini cried out. She sighed and sunk into her seat, trying to contain her tears. Mina walked over and sat down next to her cousin, giving her a hug and allowing the younger girl to cry on her shoulder.
"Poor Darien." Raye muttered. "He still hasn't come out of her room. He's spent more time in there then her own parents have." She did feel a large amount of pity for her cousin, even more then she felt for Rini. Darien had lots everything he had and now he could possibly losing Serena.
"I'm going to check up on him." Amy announced, getting up and leaving her friends.
"I hope Serena will get better soon. I miss her so much." Lita said.
"I know. She brought a real life into our group. But ever since she got in here, it seems like our own lives have been sucked out of us." Hotaru commented.
"Yeah." Mina replied.
"Have any of you caught yourselves wondering what we would be doing right now if what happened, didn't?" Raye asked.
"Hmm, well, right about now I'd be in gym kicking major ass at volleyball while flirting with some guy on the other team." Mina said.
"I'd be in home economics making food better then my teacher and getting complimented by every guy while being glared at by every girl." Lita added.
"I'd be in my Shakespear class trying to get picked to read the part of Juliet because one of the hot guys in our class is playing Romeo." Hotaru told them.
"I'd be in my technology class acting stupid so that Christen will help me out." Rini said, with a slight smile on her face.
"And I'd be in World History staring at Kevin Michaels instead of the board." Raye replied. The girls all were silent for a moment, musing on their replies and then on each others. One by one, the girls realized that they never did much in school except flirt. Sure, they got good grades, but they spent more time flirting then doing anything else.
Mina was the first one to voice their thoughts. "Wow, our lives have been so, well, sad."
"I agree. All we've ever done is flirt with guys." Raye said.
"Serena's way of living was much better then ours. She stayed true to herself the whole time until we felt the urge to change her." Rini said.
"I feel like such a jerk now." Lita muttered, the others nodding.
"Girls?" Amy's voice said, the girls all turning to the door.
"Well?" Rini asked.
"She's going to be discharged in a few days. We're going to have our Serena back!" Amy announced, the girls all crying out happily and running forward to hug her for bringing them the good news. When they settled down, Amy continued. "Mom suggests that we go home and back to school. She'll let you all know the day that Serena's coming back. For now we're going to let her heal."
"I bet Darien is really happy to hear that." Lita said.
"He jumped for joy, literally. I think they're going to become the school cutest couple. I mean, about a story like this, I don't see how they couldn't be." Amy said to them, everyone nodding in agreement.
"If not them, maybe Rini and Tony." Mina said.
"I'm dumping him." Rini replied. The girls all looked at her in shock.
"Why?" They chorused.
"Because, I have my eye on Vincent now." She replied simply. The girls all rolled their eyes and left the room together. Things were finally going to be okay.
Five days later
"Serena, are you ready to go back to school?" Rini asked, knocking on Serena's door.
"More then ever." Replied Serena's confident voice. Serena stared at her image in the mirror, satisfied, and got up, grabbing her clothes for the day. When she left her room, Rini gasped.
"Serena, you...you..." The girl stuttered.
"Let's go, Rini. We'll be late for school." Serena replied, hushing her half sister. Rini nodded dumbly and followed her out of the house and to her car. They drove together to school and when they parked, everyone stopped what they were doing and watched, completely dumb founded, as Serena crossed the lawn and approached her friends.
"Serena!" Raye gasped.
"Yes?" Serena replied.
"You look...different." Lita finished for her friend.
"I'm aware, Lita." Serena replied.
"But, why?" Mina asked.
"Because Mina, it was time for another change." Serena said. The girls all looked at each other and decided silently that they were going to accept the new Serena. What choice did they have, anyways?
"But what about Darien?" Hotaru asked.
"He's going to have to make a choice, isn't he?" Serena replied to her.
"I hope you know what you're doing, Sere." Mina said.
"I know very well. Now let's get off the subject of me and I want you all to tell me what's been going on since I left." Serena asked. As if nothing was different, the girls began happily talking about the latest gossip, who was starting to date who, what teachers were saying and doing, and so on. That got Serena laughing hard, as were the other girls. But their laughter died fast as Darien and his friends approached them.
"Serena?" Darien asked, looking at the back of the head of a blonde girl. She turned around and his eyes widened.
"Yes?" She replied.
"You look different!" He said. And indeed she did. On her face was only foundation and a light lip gloss, no blush on her cheeks, nothing to accent her eyes. She was dressed in a simple T-shirt and jeans with black tennis shoes, nothing at all sexy about her attire like her friends. Her hair was in it's old style of odango's, which he was sure she hadn't worn in months. She looked like she was lost between being popular or a geek and Darien wished at that moment that she would chose which one because her cross wasn't at all flattering to her. She looked so...normal.
"As I've been told already. Is there something wrong with the way I look?" She asked him. Darien nervously turned to his friends, who occupied themselves with the other girls, not paying any attention to the couple.
"Yes–I mean no!" Darien replied, heat rushing to his face. He couldn't believe he almost said yes! He was happy he changed his answer as fast as he had.
But it didn't matter how fast he changed his answer, because the speed that her hand came in contact with his face was much faster. Right away the girls tore away from the girls, looking shocked at the two.
"I'm ending what we never had or never will have, Endymion!" Serena said to him.
"What? Why?" Darien exclaimed, shocked at the use of his real name.
"I don't want to end up hurt by you so I'm saving myself the pain." Serena said quietly enough so that only he heard her. She turned around sharply, her hair smacking him in the face. "I'm going inside girls." She announced. The girls all nodded and gathered their things, following her inside.
"What was that about, Serena?" Mina asked, completely shocked.
"When I was in the hospital, I kept on thinking about him and I realized how much it would kill me if he ever broke my heart, so I decided to keep that from ever happening." Serena replied.
"But Serena, he loves you! He wouldn't leave you because of that very reason!" Rini cried. Serena stopped walking and turned around to look at the younger girl.
"Guys just say that to keep with a girl until he's bored with her. The reason I was never like you girls before was only because I was observing. I watched as people abused the word love and watched as girls hearts were broken only to quickly try to mend them by getting into another relationship, looking for real love. I don't want that to happen to me." Serena told her. The other girls exchanged glances, stunned.
"Serena, he really does love you! He wouldn't leave your bedside the whole time you were in the hospital unless he was dragged away. I don't know what you think real love looks like, but from what I saw I'd have to say that what he feels for you if real." Hotaru cried, coming to her cousins defense. The bell rang, silencing them as they walked inside of their home room.
"We want you to reconsider, Sere." Raye said during lunch. Serena turned to her, looking as if she was confused.
"What do you mean?" Serena asked.
"We want you to get back together with Darien!" Mina cried.
"Why?" Serena asked.
"Because we think it's stupid for you to break up with him just because he misses the way you used to look." Lita added.
"I have another reason for why I did what I did." Serena said, looking guilty. The girls looked at each other then back at her. "I want to test his love for me."
