"Hey" Replied Serena with an unenthusiastic tone.

"You look...different" Commented her mother.

Serena looked down at her outfit. She was wearing a black bikini top with a leather jacket over top

with black jeans and high heeled sandals.

"I hadnt noticed. Anyways do you think we can go home im really tired and tomorrow I need to go

out and find a job." Replied Serena

"Of course sweet heart. Did you want to get somthing to eat first?" Questioned Ken.

"Nah I'm really tired"

Her parents and brother were completly speechless. The car ride home was a silent one. But Serena's

mind kept going thinking about the life she had for only 1 year. She had an awsome apartment, friends

that loved her and didnt want her to go and a boyfriend that she couldnt stop kissing. She loved her life

in Califonia. Selene took her in and gave her everything she needed, love support and friendship. Her

grades rose dramatically, she chose to start out new. New clothes a new hairstyle, a new life. After

the first few weeks of shock she adjusted. She met her boyfriend Seiya in february 6 months after she

arrived. They were introduced by Selene and were immediatly attracted. Serena was furious with her

parents. first they send her away from the life she grew up in then they take her away from the life she

came to love. But she was going to keep to her vow and not change for them again.

When they arrived home somwhere around 2:00 in the afternoon there were deliverly men at the door.

Serena knew what they were delivering, her family on the other hand were confused.

"Are anyone of you Serena Moon by any chance?" Questioned one of the delivery men.

"Yeah I am. Wheres the stupid form i have to sign?" Replied Serena

The delivery man that asked the question handed her the clipboard and she gratefully sign as the men

were taking the 2002 yamaha R6 out of the truck.

"Serena is that yours?" asked her little brother Sammy.

She didnt answer the question instead took the bike and pushed it up the driveway and out of view of

pedestrians. That bike was Serena's pride and joy, next to Seiya of course. It was black with blood

red flames across the front. She called it Hell's Fire. With the modifications she made on her own it

was the fastest bike in California.

"Oh Serena, by the way the girls called yesterday and wanted to get together with you today or

tomorrow. They said they would be at the arcade both days if you wanted to join them for a bit to

catch up." Irene told her. Serena gave a sigh.

"Ok i'll acctually take my bike for a spin over there after I take my stuff up to my room. If its alright with

you guys? I havent rode on this for about a month, i had to send it early for it to get here on time" Serena replied.

Irene looked over at Ken with worry. They didnt know their daughter knew how to ride a motorcycle

let alone have one.

"Sure but tomorrow why dont the four of us spend the day together and go to the beach or somthing.

We want to know wat you've been up to this last year"

"No problem mom" Serena shouted behind her back. Eager to get that power, speed and strength

between her legs again. ( AN: Hehe i had to add that)

Serena raced back downstairs and out the door faster then shes ever done. Hopped on her bike,

slammed her helmet on her head, reved the engine and sped off taking as long as she could to

get to the arcade. She always loved to ride on her bike after a half an hour of driving around she

finally ended at the arcade.

"Oh man look at that bike, that has got to be the most awsome bike out there. I love that bike."

Screamed Andrew.

Everyone turned their heads toward the arrival of the bike and its owner. Everyone in the arcade was

admiring the bike from afar. Lita, Raye, and Mina all oooed at the bike and started gossiping about its

owner and wondering what he looked like. The Serena got off her bike and walked into the arcade with

everyone gawking at her she shook her head at removed her jacket then her helmet.

"SERENA!" Screamed the girls as they ran over to Serena and doggy piled her.

"Hey Andrew can I get a coke please?"

"Sure Serena. Its good to see you again" Replied Andrew.

When Serena got her drink the four girls ushered her over to their booth to hound her with questions

about her year in California. After an hour or so the girls were still wondering what happened to the

Serena they came to love when a voice ,Serena hoped shed never hear again, asked "Well now girls

its rude not to introduce me too your new friend, I'm Darien Shields miss?"Asked Darien.

Serena turned towards Darien. 'He doesnt remember me' she thought 'this could be interesting.

"So you dont remember me huh? Well lets see if i can jog your memory. Andrew can i have another

coke please?" Serena asked

"Oh no, you are not doing it Serena. We've had one peacefull year with out your fights with Darien

its not going to start again." Replied Andrew.

"Oh, ok no problem, if you all had such a peacfull life without me then i'll be going, sorry for messing it up"

Serena then walked out of the arcade put her helmet back on and rode away on her bike, Completly

oblivious to all the pleas and crys from her friends asking her to stay. She rode off to the address that

Seiya gave her. It was the address of Seiya's brothers, Yaten and Taiki, whom she met in California and

got along quite well with. As she arrived at the address she realized it was a bar. 'They live in a bar?'

Serena questioned herself. 'No no they probably live above the bar. Serena walked and immediatly was

pulled into a hug by her boyfriends brothers.

"Hey guys i've missed you, i didnt know you lived in a bar" Serena joked.

"Oh you little goof ball you always know how to get us to smile when did you get back?" Questioned Yaten.

"I got back a few hours ago today was just the worst day possible. Would i be able to get a beer im really

stressed out" Replied Serena.

Taiki went and got her a beer and she told them all about her first day back. Hours later she sat there still

sipping on her beer, since she started drinking it was usually only when she was stressed out and she never

had more than one.

"Girl thats harsh, and they're supposed to be your friends. With friend like that who needs enimies"

Exclaimed Yaten.

"Yea i know anyways i gotta get going to get some sleep i'll come by again, thanks again guys" She thanked

Yaten and Taiki and headed home just to flop on her bed at five o'clock.
