Mistaken Identity: Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon.

'No! No! No! I can't go on like this! I have to tell him the TRUTH! This is supposed to be Mina here not me! No!-' "NO!" Serena said thinking aloud and suddenly stood up in the car only to have her head hit the car.

"OUCH!" Serena sat back down rubbing her head.

"Mina! Are you alright?" Edward asked Serena worriedly.

Serena stared at the old man's warm glistening eyes and didn't know how to spit out the words.

"I..I.."

"Mina its okay." Edward sat back and looked down. "I understand if you don't want to be with me. It is me, that abandoned your mother… and you."

"No.. its not that. Look I am not Mina!" Serena said as an airplane passed by. Then she looked outside the windows and realized she was at the airport.

"I'm sorry but what did you say?"

Serena grabbed her hair in frustration as she turned away from Edward and looked outside at the dark night sky.

The car moved slowly and tension was in the air. Serena finally thought it over that she had to tell him. For Mina.. and for Darien.

The car stopped.

"Mina… if you don't want to come with me, just say so."

Serena looked directly at Edward's eyes and with all honesty and sincerity.

"I'm sorry but… I'm not Mina."

Edwards expression of sadness turned into curiosity.

"What…?"

"My name is Serena."

Edwards driver drove him and Serena to Serena and Mina's apartment as Serena told him the story of how Mina and her switched identities.

"… and so I was planning on telling Darien the truth tonight but then you came along. And you should know how the rest goes. But you don't blame us do you?"

Edwards chuckled. "No Serena. It was quite a story and it seems like you took a liking to my son."

"No!" Serena blushed and looked away, "he probably doesn't like me anyway."

"Oh? Why do you assume that?"

"Well he's been so cold towards me tonight and after our first date, he hasn't called me for a week."

"Have you thought it was because he thought you were his half sister and he might have done some stupid things to you if you two kept on going on dates?"

Serena's mind went blank. 'So that's the reason!'

"Oh my god! How could I have been so dumb and slow?! All this time, he thought I was his half sister…"

Edward laughed. "I think you can clear this misunderstanding with my son soon. And maybe have a relationship with him."

Serena's face instantly turned red. "I-!"

She was cut off as the car stopped moving in front of her apartment.

"We're here sir." The driver reported and automatically went to open the door for Edward.

Serena opened the car door and went inside the apartment building with Edward following.

Serena and Edward waited for the elevator. As the elevator proceeded upwards, Serena could tell Edwards hands were shaking and he was nervous. Serena thought to herself the shocked look Mina would have knowing she still had family in this world. As the soft ring of the elevator door was heard signaling the floor Serena and Mina lived on, Serena giddily ran to the door as Edward walked slowly behind. Serena noticed this and looked at him.

"Whats wrong?"

"Serena, you go ahead and I'll wait here. If Mina decides she still wants a father like me, then I'll go see her."

"Oh… alright."

Serena went inside her apartment and saw all the lights were turned off. 'I wonder if Mina's asleep already. It is kind of late.'

She walked inside Mina's room and turned on the lights. 'Mina's not in her room! Where did she go?' Serena kept thinking of places Mina be at as she walked inside her room and turned on the lights.

"AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Serena screamed.

"Ow… who the hell was that?" Mina said as she rubbed her eyes.

"Hmmm… ?" Yaten fluttered open his eyes. "Serena?!"

"Y-y-you two…" Serena shakily said as she pointed to them.

"What?" Mina sat on the bed then realizing she didn't have clothes on. She gasped and pulled up the sheets to cover her torso then noticing it wasn't her bed sheets. "Oh no…"

"Serena, I can explain." Yaten said trying to think of something to say to his sister. "Can we at least wear something first?"

"Humph" Serena turned and left her room and sat on the sofa trying to erase the image of her best friend and brother on her bed. A few minutes later Mina and Yaten came out of her room.

"Serena, I'm sorry." Mina apologizing to her.

"Yeah sis. I'm really sorry. I didn't think you would go against me and Mina being together."

"Its not that! I'm not against you and Mina being together but… why in MY room?!"

"So you're not against the two of us together then?"

"No… but Mina you better buy me new bed sheets and everything."

Mina laughed. "Of course!" and hugged Serena. Yaten playfully punched Serena's arm.

"Thanks kid."

"You two still didn't answer my question. Why my room?"

"Well… it was hazy and everything and I thought your room was my room… he he…"

"Never, ever, even think or attempt to think of using my room for activities like that again. I really need to lock my door from now on especially whenever Yaten's over."

The three of them laughed.

Yaten got dressed as Serena and Mina talked in the living room.

"Mina why were you so aggressive before?"

"When?"

"You know… when Darien came and you were so perky. I didn't think it was actually you."

Mina laughed. "Serena, you forgotten?"

"About what?"

"Let me refresh your memory. That was the exact same things you did to me on my first date! What goes around… comes around. Ha ha"

"Oh I remember now! But that guy was such a shy nerd and you two would've never left the door step if it wasn't for me."

"I don't know if I should thank you or slap you."

The two talked until Yaten came out of Mina's room all dressed.

"You know you could've stayed for the night. I don't mind and I don't think Mina would either."

Mina blushed as Serena poked Mina's ribs with her elbow.

"I would love to but I have a meeting tomorrow with Darien's father about a new project. How did it go with Darien tonight anyway?"

Yaten and Mina both looked at Serena as she remembered something. Something important.

"Oh my god! Mina I forgot to tell you!" Serena stood up.

"What? What is it?" Mina tried to calm down Serena.

"You would not believe this. But your father is still alive."

"What?" Mina looked at Serena as if she went crazy.

"You're Darien's half sister!"

Yaten and Mina looked at Serena weirdly.

"Oh I don't know how to explain this in short terms! But he's waiting outside!" Serena hurriedly went to the door with Mina and Yaten following her. "I hope he didn't leave yet!"

Serena looked in front of the elevator doors and saw the elderly man standing there patiently. She smiled.

"Mr. Edward! Thank god you didn't leave yet!"

Edward looked up at Serena.

"Serena, what did Mina say?"

"Why don't you ask her yourself?"

Serena moved to Edward's side and Edward got full view of his daughter and gasped.

"Mina?"

Mina looked at the man as he walked closer to her with Serena at his side.

"Do I know you?" Mina asked politely.

"Mr. Shields?" Yaten whispered. 'What if Serena wasn't joking around?'

"Mina… my dear child. You look identical to your mother."

"You… knew my mother?"

"I'm your father."

The words hit Mina like stone.
