Coloured Roses: Chapter 2
Serena walked back home with a bright smile. She may seem happy but inside she was very sad. She had gotten yet another detention for being late because of HIM…because of Crow Head a.k.a Darien, her nemesis in the outside but her secret love in the inside.
'Tomorrow is Valentines Day and the Valentines Day Dance and still no one asked me to go to the dance with them!' Serena thought sadly. 'No one will probably ask me out, I'm just a klutz, and airhead!'
'Hey, where's Darien?' She asked herself as she looked around quietly. She usually bumped into him right in this spot, right in front of the arcade. She looked down at her watch and saw that's it's already 3:26. 'We usually bumped at each other at this very moment. Hey, wait a minute, how do I know that this is the time I usually bumped into him?' Serena sighed and entered the crowded arcade. She looked around for Darien and didn't see him anywhere. 'Where could he be?' She asked herself quietly. She sighed and walked to the booth where her friends are waiting for her. She was late yet again.
Her friends may always tease her but she knew they love her as much. She may not admit it but somehow she envies her friends. Raye and Mina with their beautiful looks. Ami with her smarts and Lita with her strength. She envied them. She wants to be just like them. She wants to be smart like Ami, or as beautiful like Raye and Mina or as strong as Lita.
"Sere where were you? You're late again you know!" Raye asked. Raye may be very familiar with Serena being late but she can't help but tease her about it.
"Have you bumped with 'Crow Head' again?" Mina asked with a grin.
"Yah, that's why I'm late again. I got detention form Ms. H but she let me go earlier because she had another date." Serena answered gloomily.
"Why are you so down Serena?" Lita asked curiously leaning forward waiting for an answer.
"Oh I don't know. I guess I'm just tired of having detention over and over again." Serena answered with a sad sigh.
"Guys, did someone asked you out for the Valentines Dance tomorrow?" Lita asked bringing up the liked conversation.
"Well, Chad asked me out." Raye mumbled under her breath.
"What's that Raye? We didn't quite hear you." Ami asked putting down her biology book that she was reading.
"I said Chad asked me out!" Raye screamed with a slight blush creeping up her cheeks.
"Did you say yes?" Mina asked with a sly smile.
"Yah." Raye mumbled now her face as red as a ripe tomato.
"You did?! I can't believe it!" Lita squealed.
"Okay okay, let's stop talking about me now. How about you Lita, did someone special asked you out?" Raye asked wiggling her eyebrows.
"Actually yes, Ken asked me out and I agreed, but we're just friends." Lita answered quickly trying desperately to hide the blush creeping up her cheeks.
"Just friends? Just friends Lita? Yah right! Like we would believe that!" Mina shouted with a grin.
"Never mind about me. But how about you Mina? Did someone ask you out?" Lita asked.
"Yes! This cute guy in my history class asked me out! His name is Josh! He is so sweet!" Mina squealed. The others sweat dropped.
"Mina, you shouldn't judge people by just how they look." Ami answered in her 'as-a-matter-of-fact' tone.
"Oh hush Ami! But how about you? Did someone ask you out?" Mina asked with a grin.
"Yes, Greg asked me out." Ami answered trying desperately to hide her blush but with no avail.
"Aha! That's great Ami! So when are you going to tell him that you like him?" Raye asked with a sly grin.
"What are you talking about? We're just friends! Nothing more! And I don't like him!" Ami screamed blushing like a ripe tomato.
"Anyways, how about you Serena? Did someone ask you out?" Lita asked noticing her friend's quietness. Serena sadly shook her head no.
"Aw, don't worry Serena! I'm sure someone will ask you out!" Mina said trying to cheer Serena up.
"I'm sure Darien will come to his senses and ask you out!" Raye said trying to cheer her dear friend up. Ami, Mina, Lita, and Raye are the only ones Serena told about her secret feelings for the certain midnight-eyed guy.
"I don't know guys. Well, I have to get going now, I need to do some chores." Serena answered as she got up. She really didn't need to do chores, she just wants to lounge in her room and think about stuff.
"Well, okay Serena. But remember about the meeting at the temple tonight at 8, okay?" Raye reminded Serena, Serena nodded. Serena gloomily headed out the door with her eyes downcast and headed straight home.
Once Serena reached her front gate a very sweet smell filled the air. She realized that it was roses. 'Roses? What would a rose scent be doing her when we don't even have any rose bushes.' Sakura asked herself quietly. She somehow felt as if something special will happen today. She shrugged that thought off and walked up the stairs. She was about to open the door when right in front of her fell a bouquet of red roses. She looked at it curiously. She noticed that in one of the roses there is a note. She curiously picked it up and it read:
Follow the path of crystal roses
And it will lead you to a mystical garden
Where you will find happiness
Where you will find love
'Where I will find love? And what crystal roses?' She asked herself. She shook her head and turned around to see if anyone was standing there. She saw no one but to her surprise she saw a path of crystal roses, just like it says in the note.
'Okay, where did that come from? Well, there's nothing to do, might as well do it.' She said to herself. She left her book bag in the front steps and picked up every single crystal rose adding it to the bouquet of roses in her arms.
The crystal roses led to a garden, a rose garden just like it says in the note. She again bent down and picked up all the crystal roses, it led to another bouquet of roses, pink roses. She curiously picked it up and smelled it. She smiled and looked at the bouquet of pink roses looking for another note. She smiled as she saw yet another note. She picked it up gently not wanting to damage the roses. The note read:
If you follow the path of white roses
This journey will come to its end
It will lead you to yet another bouquet of roses
So follow the path and this journey shall end
Serena smiled and smelled the roses. She turned around to see another path of roses, of white roses. She smiled and picked up every single white rose gently placing it in her arms not wanting to damage it. She also noticed that all the roses that are in her arms don't have thorns in them. She wondered who could've done all these things, for her. She smiled and picked up another white rose. The path of white roses led into a gazebo, overlooking the crystal clear lake. She smiled as soon as she saw another bouquet of roses, red roses. She gently picked it up and looked for a note. She smile as soon as she saw a red note. She picked it up and it read:
White roses are for friendship and purity
Pink roses are for you, for you are divine
Red roses are for love eternally
Will you be my Valentine?
She looked around the note trying to find some clue on who is doing this to her. She frowned when she found none. 'Who could have done this?' She asked herself quietly. She shrugged and decided to count the roses. '1, 2, 3, 4, 5…12 white roses, 6 pink roses and 24 red roses. Why more red roses than the others?' She asked herself. Then a thought struck her.
"White for friendship, pink for me and red for love eternally. Love eternally! Oh by the Goddess Selene! Red for love! Does that mean that this person loves me?" She wondered out loud. 'I wish it was Darien. [sigh]. But I know he would never do this, I mean for me? But it's always nice to dream.'
"Yes, this means that I love you." A tenor and awfully familiar voice said from behind. Serena was brought back to reality with the very familiar voice. Serena turned, sky blue clashed with midnight blue, Serena gasped.
"D-Darien, what?" Serena asked not quite believing her ears. Darien chuckled.
"As I said before, I love you." Darien answered walking forward.
"You love, me?" Serena asked barely above a whisper.
"Yes, aishiteru." Darien replied with a genuine smile. Serena smiled.
"Well, guess what? I love you too." Serena answered. 'Ha, this is a dream come true'.
"You what?" Darien asked not quite believing his ears.
"I love you too. I love you with all my heart." Serena whispered with a tender smile.
"Honto?" Darien asked wanting to know if it's true.
"Honto!" Serena squealed jumping into Darien's arms.
Darien smiled and bent down to capture his beloved's lips. As soon as Darien's lips touched Serena's memories came flying in theirs, Ami's, Lita's, Mina's, Raye's, Luna's and Artemis' minds. The Silver Millennium, the generals, their last days in the Moon Kingdom, the destruction of the Moon Kingdom, Queen Serenity, the masquerade ball. Everything came flying into their minds.
"Princess Serenity, will you do me the honor of allowing me to escort you to the Valentines Day Dance?" Darien asked with a smile. He now knows. The three girls he loves is actually the same one. Sailor Moon, Princess Serenity and Serena, all three are standing right in front of him, smiling.
"The honor is mine Prince Endymion, Tuxedo Mask." Serena said curtsying just like a princess that she is. Darien smiled and leaned down to kiss his princess once again. As soon as he did, the seven rainbow crystals appeared out of thin air. It surrounded the kissing couple. In a bright flash of pure white light the seven crystals emerged together as one forming the Silver Imperium Silver Crystal.
With another flash of bright light Serena's and Darien's clothes changed. Serena was now wearing a pure white gown with crescent moons stitched at the hem. In her wrist is a band of pearls. In her ears hang crescent moon earrings. In her head was a diamond tiara with a crescent moon right in the middle. And hangs around her neck was the star locket that Tuxedo Mask gave Sailor Moon. Darien was now wearing a silver armor with silver shoulder blades. On the armor were the Moon Kingdom's and Earth Kingdom's signs. He was wearing a black cape and black boots that matches his attire.
They smiled at each other knowing that now they will be together forever. They linked arms and started walking away, hand in hand with rose petals blowing in the wind creating a magnificent atmosphere.
In the bushes four figures stood in awe. One has a pair of binoculars, one has a book, one has a camera and the last one just stood there with her jaws hanging down.
"Raye! Pass me the binoculars please!" A girl cried.
"Guys I really think that we should stop doing this!" Another girl cried.
"Oh hush Ami! You know you want to do this too!" The girl with the camera said as she pressed play and watched what she recorded in the camera.
"Pass me the binoculars!" One of the girls cried.
"Wait, I want to use it first!" The girl with the binoculars snapped.
"Whose binoculars are that anyways?" The girls asking for the binoculars asked.
"Who do you think?! It's mine!" The girls looking through the binoculars answered.
"Oh yeah, I forgot." The girl asking for the binoculars said as she sweat dropped.
"Oh just stop it! Who cares who's binoculars are that anyways?!" The girl with the camera snapped.
"Hush! They'll hear us!" The girls with the book said. The other stared at her. "What? I want to see what happened to our prince and princess too you know!" "I just can't believe that they are our prince and princess! I mean, Meatball Head, the princess?!" The girl with the binoculars shouted.
"I know!" All the other girls shouted at once.
"Hah! This tape will be very good for blackmail!" The girl with the camera squealed.
"Lita! That's not nice!" The girl with the book cried trying to save her friend from blackmail.
"Oh Ami hush!" All the other girls cried, the girl with the book just sweat dropped.
And with this the story will end. Different coloured roses do mean different things.
THE END
