Chapter 3

Serena was sitting in the room in which Trunks had directed her, she stared blankly at the wall, deep in thought and unaware of the tears that had begun to slip silently down her cheeks... her mind went back to that hateful day...

Serena's memory

Serena stared into Darien's face, "H-how can this be?" She asked, "I thought you loved me?"

"Serena..." Darien said softly, "I am in love with Rae. I have been in love with her for as long as I can remember… besides, you are so childish and I just can't handle that, we need a real leader. Please understand."

Serena stopped wailing, "Did you ever love me? I mean, I poured my heart into this relationship, and now I find that you seemingly never even loved me!" The wailing began again as Darien continued.

Darien shook his head, "I loved you once, but that feeling gradually left me as the months went on..."

"Just leave me alone!" Serena cried, turning her back on Darien.

"Serena... I have to go," Darien said softly, "Can we still be friends?"

Serena's eyes widened in anger, she turned and slapped him hard, "Can we still be friends, can we still be friends!" She cried angrily, "I'm done with you all, I can save the world alone... go to your precious Rae and leave me the hell alone you... you bastard!" She ran from him then, she didn't even listen as he called to her.

"I hate you Darien..." Serena whispered scathingly, "You've ruined my life..."

She lay back on the plain, tan sheets and silently wished for her own moon and star ones, "Why am I here?" She wondered aloud, "Why did I get dragged here?"

There was a knock on the door, Serena sat bolt upright, "W-who's there?" She asked.

"Its Trunks... can I come in?" He called.

Serena hastily wiped her bright baby blue eyes, "Sure." She said, "Come on in..."

The door opened and Trunks peered in, "W-would you like to umm... maybe train with me tonight?"

"Okay..." Serena replied, in her mind she said, it will make me forget about him.

"Then follow me," His eyes sparkled boyishly.

Serena walked closely behind him as he led her towards his training room, he turned, smiling, "Do you think that you can keep up?" He asked.

"One way to find out..." Serena said softly.

Two hours later

Serena was panting slightly but kept waving Trunks on. He sent an energy bomb flying as Serena crossed her arms, she was flung backwards and let out an umf as the breath was knocked from her, "Are you alright!" Trunks called, flying towards her.

Serena stood hastily, "I'm fine!" She cried, "I got a way to make it a better match though... super moon crisis makeup!" A whole new transformation occurred and she became super sailor moon, "Rainbow moon heartache!" She cried her wand in hand.

A blast of energy left it and spiraled towards Trunks who stared at it in a drunk sort of fascination, the energy hit him and engulfed his body in its light, he was flung back and hit his head on a wall. He groaned and sat up, rubbing his head, "I'd say we're done for the night..."

"Yes..." said Serena AKA Super Sailor moon, de-transforming and following Trunks back to her room, "G'night..." She mumbled sleepily, falling to sleep the minute her head hit the pillow.

She was up early the next morning, before the others at least, and went to the bathroom, carrying the robe that had been set in her room, and ran the water in the tub. Serena pulled her pigtails down and pulled her fingers through it to get rid of some of the knots. She sighed as she lowered herself in the steaming water and closed her eyes momentarily, allowing the heat to seep into her sore muscles before sitting up and pouring shampoo into her hair, she rinsed it quickly, then emptied and refilled the tub again so that she could relax this time around. The doorknob rattled and then there was a pound at the door, "Whoever's in there, get out now!" Vegeta shouted angrily.

Serena glanced at it shortly before replying, "You can wait, some people prefer to have privacy!"

The water splashed slightly and she gasped as it began to drain without her having pulled the plug and a hand shot out of the small hole, grabbing her around the middle, "Eyaaa!" She cried, kicking furiously at the thing that held her, "let me go!" She bit it to no avail. An arm followed the hand and shortly after a shoulder, a neck, the head, another arm, and then the rest followed.

"So we meet again princess, hopefully there will be no interruptions this time." It laughed.

"What the hell are you?" Serena gasped through its deathlike grip on her body, one of her eyes squeezed shut as she struggled against the grip.

Her compowder buzzed and she reached towards her clothes that she had folded and put near the tub. Her fingers reached it shaking slightly and she opened it the surprised face of Lita, "Serena, what's going on?" Her friend's voice called fuzzily, "We've found a way to come back for you… but it's going to take a while."

"Lita!" Serena gasped, "I need help now!" She was getting tired and the compowder slid from her fingers as darkness overtook her.

"Serena! Serena!" Lita cried despairingly as the compact was crushed beneath the creature's foot.

"Now, now princess, you heard her, it's going to take a while!"

Once more the doorknob rattled and Serena remembered Vegeta standing outside. Dimly aware of what she was doing, she dragged herself to the door, stretching the startled creatures arm and turned the lock slowly. She yanked on the knob as the creature pulled her back, door still gripped in her hand. "Moon Crystal Power!" Serena exclaimed, slipping out of its grasp as she transformed.

Vegeta stared in astonishment, hand raised as if to pound on the door once more, "What the hell is going on here?" He cried.

"heh…heh…" Serena said, rubbing her hand along her head, "A little backup in the drains?"

She then turned back to the creature, who was slipping out the window and running before she could do anything. "What the fuck was that disgusting thing?" Vegeta joined her at the window momentarily, a dark scowl on his face.

"I dunno… uh sorry about the door…" Serena let it fall to the ground and ran to her smashed compowder, "Oh no!" She cried furiously, "That bastard broke it!"

She quickly picked it and her clothes up and ran to her room where she de-transformed and dressed while looking sadly at the broken thing that was her only communication with her own home.

A/N well... there's chapter three for you... I changed it somewhat so that Serena wasn't all whiny and using Renee in her argument… it has been lengthened as well, anyway, enjoy, please R&R...
