Mistaken Identity: Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon.

"You're my father?" Minas expression was blank and stood there staring at her father.

"Yes."

"Get out of my face."

With that, Mina turned abruptly and walked quickly back into the apartment.

"W-wait! Mina!" Serena tried to pull Mina back but Mina flung Serena's hand away and continued walking.

Edward stood there with tears in his eyes right before they were ready to fall. Serena saw this.

"Mr. Edward I think you should go now. I'll try to convince Mina to go have lunch with you tomorrow so don't worry."

Serena left before she saw the first drop fall. After she went inside the apartment, she silently closed the door and saw Mina sitting on the sofa with an angry expression on her face but a different emotion in her eyes. Yaten was right beside Mina trying to comfort her.

"Mina… how could you do that? That was your father!" Serena couldn't believe what Mina did before.

"He can't be my father. He doesn't deserve to be." Besides her mouth, Mina's face didn't move a bit.

"Mina..." Serena began to talk then realized Yaten was still there and Serena wanted to have a private conversation with Mina. "Yaten, do your sis a favor and go home."

Seeing the situation, Yaten nodded and went to get his clothes. Before he left, he whispered something in Mina's ear then gave her a kiss good night.

Serena glad her brother is gone sat next to Mina.

"Aren't you happy? You just saw your father."

"Why should I be happy? He wasn't there for my mother so why would he be there for me? Does he think that he can replace everything he owes me and mom by coming back to pick me up and acting like father of the year?!"

"Mina! You shouldn't be saying something like that! He didn't know that your mother had you so that's why-"

"So you knew. You knew all along he was my father and you didn't tell me."

"No! I just found out-"

"Serena just leave me alone."

Mina walked back to her room and slammed the door.

Sigh… 'Oh no! I promised Mr. Edward lunch with Mina tomorrow!'

Back at Edward's mansion.

Edward came home depressed with red eyes. He went to his private bar at the end of the hall. He heard a glass break right before he stepped inside then he heard someone mumbling. Edward looked inside and saw Darien. Darien was slouching on a classy chair looking at a bottle of vodka. His hair was messy and his tie and shirt all wrinkled and distorted.

Edward was about to go inside to talk to his son when he heard Darien say something.

"…why. Why did Mina had to be my sister? The only woman I began falling for… had to be my sister? WHY?!"

Edward watched as Darien took the bottle and threw it at the wall across from him. After watching the glasses spread everywhere, he fell off the chair and asleep on the floor. Edward had too much of a depression on his own hands to help his son. He called the maid to go and help Darien as he went upstairs to his room and wait for Serena's call.

In the morning.

Serena spent most of the night trying to think of a plan to get Mina to go to lunch with Edward and time is running out. While in the middle of thinking, Serena's system just gave up and she fell asleep. As she awoke to find out its already 9AM she panicked. She looked around then realized she had a blanket on her and the smell of breakfast is in the air and this time it wasn't burnt. Serena walked quietly to the kitchen and saw Mina putting the food on plates.

"Mina."

Mina turned and saw Serena. Serena was expecting Mina to go ballistic on her but instead smiled.

"Good morning Serena. Breakfast is ready."

"Oh. Thank you."

"I really want to apologize for last night. I think it's the shock that made me go crazy at you. I really am sorry."

"Mina its okay. I don't mind."

"I want to see him again. And ask him the questions myself."

Serena choked on her coffee.

"You would go see him?!"

"He doesn't want to see me again? Well… I wouldn't want to see myself again too if I was him."

"No! Its not that! He wanted to see you for lunch today. So I'll go and give him a call now while you think about what to wear."

Serena ran past Mina and found a piece of paper Edward had given her when they were talking the night before in the car. She dialed the number and made a date at a local café for Mina and him. Edward sounded so happy and optimistic about lunch.

Darien awoke to have a huge hangover. He went out to get more to drink then saw his father all happy and dressed up.

"Where are you going dad?"

"I'm having lunch with Mina. She wants to see me."

Hearing her name made him instantly start to think of her.

"But you already saw her last night."

"That was Serena. Not Mina."

Darien jerked up his head.

"What? Serena? Who's Serena? Who's not Mina?"

Edward just laughed.

"I'll tell you next time."

Mina and Edward met at the café. Tension was in the air but it was light. Edward looked and smiled at Mina.

"Mina… I'm so happy you would have lunch with me."

"Mr. Edward I would just like to ask you a few questions."

An hour later.

Serena was flipping through channels waiting for Mina to come home and spill the beans to her when she heard the door open.

"Mina! How'd it go? Tell me what happened!"

"Its settled."

"What is?"

"I told him I can't fully accept him as a father yet and he said he'll wait until the day that I will acknowledge him as my father again. Then he asked me about my mother and childhood. At the end he told me I can go visit him or if I need anything I can just tell him. So that's it."

"Oh… Not a bad ending."

"That's a happy beginning for you."

"What?"

"So now Darien can know your true identity and he knows you're not his half sister. That's the beginning of your relationship."

Serena blushed and looked at the floor.

"Do you think he'll be mad that we set up this whole charade?"

"From what Edward told me, Darien has a pretty cool temper."

"So do you think he'll see me again?"

"Want my help?"

Serena's eyes brightened and nodded happily to Mina.

"Great. I'll give Edward a call."

Edward received Mina's call and made a plan. He told Darien to meet a company associate at a restaurant that night. Her name is Ms. Connell. However, he didn't tell his son the truth about Mina/Serena yet.

That night….

"How may I help you?" the manager asked Darien politely.

"I have reservations with a Ms. Connell."

"Oh yes. She's here already. Let me bring you to her."

Darien followed the manager as he brought him to a table with a lady who's back looks very familiar. She turned around and stood in front of him.

"Hi Darien."

Authors Note: Sorry. Didn't think this chapter would take this long but due to school and work, everything is on hold. So how should Darien react to 'Mina'?
