END OF CHAPTER 5

"What..what is wrong?" Serena felt a funny tingle. "What is happening?" Looking down she noticed she was losing solidity."Where am I going?" She reached over and grabbed him "What is happening?" That is when she first noticed. He was fading too.

"I think we are going back where we belong." He looked lovingly at her. Gathering her in his arms he tried to offer comfort.

"Don't worry sweetheart we will go together." She looked up at him tears pooling in her eyes.

"Please don't forget me.....I can't live without you!" He held her even tighter though the feeling was fading. He took one look at her sad face and spoke.

"Don't worry my love......I will find you no matter what." As he said that they both twinkled and disappeared................

Back Where We Belong

Chapter 6 - The Conclusion

Serena turned the wiper's up once more. It was a nasty night out although her and the girls were having

fun. The mist hung everywhere and the rain poured down. They were heading to the ski lodge. Raye sat

beside her and Mina, Amy and Lita filled the back seat.

"So are we gonna have fun or what?" Mina piped up from the backseat. A chorus of "Yeah" echoed

through the car. They all broke out in giggles.

"How much longer before we arrive?" Lita's stomach grumbled and she blushed laughing.

"Not to much longer. I think we probably have another half hour or so." Amy smiled at Lita. Sitting next to her

in the back she offered her a sandwich. They had all brought junk food for their stay at the ski lodge.

The girls were hoping to have some fun over the holiday break. Mina had called Serena early that morning to invite

her along with everyone else. Serena smiled at all of the girls she could not imagine a life without them. Her heart clenched and her eyes pricked with tears. 'Now what was that. I have no reason for being sad. We are all going to have a blast.'

Spotting something ahead in the road she was about to ask when there was an explosion.

"Aaargh What was that?" Mina shrieked from the backseat. Serena staying calm knew exactly what had happened. Guiding the car to the side of the road she put it in park and remembered to turn on her hazard lights.

"Guys we're looking at a delay. That was a tire. I am pretty sure we just had a flat. No worries though my spare is in the back. Any of you know how to change it?" She turned looking at all of the girls.

"Uh no," Mina turned looking at Amy and Lita. They both shook their heads while looking to Raye. She also shook her head.

"No big deal, let me go get the spare out. I am sure someone will stop and help." She slid out her seatbelt and opened the door. Taking her keys she opened the trunk and was just starting to dig when a car came around the corner.

Darrien was heading for the ski lodge. After work this morning he knew he needed a break. Calling his boss he had taken two days leave. With the music up he was relaxed and enjoying being away from death and sickness. Coming around the corner he spotted a car off to the side of the road. Seeing their hazard lights flashing he decided to stop. Pulling off the road he nudged up to the car in front. He could just make out a person bent over the trunk. Knowing they needed light he left the headlights on.

Climbing out of the drivers seat he went to see if they needed help.

Serena was happily surprised to hear a car coming. 'Please stop? please stop? None of us knows how to do this.' When the car pulled up behind hers she could have jumped for joy.

"Hey do you need some help?" He walked up to the car waiting for the figure to turn around

'That voice.......' The hair on the back of Serena's neck stood on end. Not able to dig it out she finally stopped and turned around. 'Midnight eyes filled with emotion.....' the image flashed through her mind. "You.........Wait......Have we met before?"

He stood in shock. 'Blonde hair playing in the breeze.......' The image flashed in his head and then was gone. "No I don't think so. Do you need some help." He grinned at her look of confusion it probably mirrored his own.

"Yeah we have a flat tire. I have the spare in here but no idea how to change it. Could you help?" She smiled at him and he walked over to the trunk. Leaning in he was trying to shift things to get the tire out.

"Can you hold this?" He handed her a dress box. She looked at it in confusion. 'What is this?' She lifted the lid and sucked in her breath. There sat the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. It was black silk with little silver roses. Hearing her gasp he turned to see what had caught her attention. She was looking into the box he had handed her.

Darrien stepped closer and peered into the box. The dress that lay folded there made him gasp. 'A picture of five girls with live flowers surrounding it....' The image flashed in his mind.

"That is a beautiful dress. Where did you find it?" He glanced curiously at the blonde girl.

"I...I don't know.......for a minute it seemed familiar but I didn't buy this." She shook the feeling off. "Okay can you get to the tire?"

"Yeah," he easily hefted it out. "Okay put the box away and follow me." He easily showed her how to change a tire. There was a strange familiarity between the two. When he finished tightening the lug nuts he stood brushing his hands off on his jeans.

"Oh I should probably introduce myself. I am Darrien Shields." He looked at her expectanly.

"Serena, Serena Johnson, My friends and I are heading to the ski lodge for a fun filled weekend." She stared into familiar eyes but did not know why.

Darrien looked at her in the light of his headlights. Her long blonde hair hung down her back and her eyes caught his attention. He stared into the cerulean eyes drowning. He knew those eyes. 'That's not possible is it?' He stepped closer. Without thinking he reached up and laid his hand against her cheek.

Serena stilled at the contact. Her flesh began tingling and a comforting sensation washed over her. He leaned forward and gently kissed her.

"I told you we were going back where we belong." He whispered it gently. Not even knowing why he said it.

"The love of my life...." she whispered back. Also not knowing what she was talking about.................

Well there you go............I hope you enjoyed my tale as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please R & R and let me know what you think? :) Pretty Please?
