Serena's parents were starting to accept who she had become and realized that she was the same

person only with more maturity liked they wanted and she was no longer a crybaby. She faced her

problems instead of running from them. She fought for what she believed instead of crying until she

got what she wanted. They realized that she didnt come back the way they wanted her to be, she

came back better. She told her parents that her previous employer was her boyfriend and that he had

come to Tokyo to spend time with her. She could tell her father tensed up when she said the word

'boyfriend' but she calmly reminded him that she still had her virginity and would only give it away to

the man that she married. Her mother on the other hand just awed while her brother gaged. As the

week rolled on Serena insisted that Seiya should come have dinner at her house with her family.

He had taken her to waterparks and amusement parks. Took her to the movies and an indoor skating

rink and they enjoyed every minute of it all.

Saturday had arrived, his last day with her in Tokyo. He had the night all planned out for her. She had

gotten the night off of work so she could spend it with him. They had shared a beautiful dinner on the

beach while the sun was setting. They sat on a blanket listening to songs of love that played on Seiya's

portable stereo, songs such as A Moment Like This by Kelly Clarkson, I Dont Want To Miss A Thing

by Aerosmith and When I Fall In Love by Celine Dion just to name a few. The appetizer was Cesear

Salad, the main dishwas European called Coq au Vin. It means Chicken in Wine. The dish consisted

of chicken, pearl onions, mushrooms, red wine, garlic, bacon and parsley. Serena hadnt had a meal

that tasted that delicious ever in her life. Seiya had prepared a strawberry cheescake topped off with

chocolate sauce for dessert. Because of Serena's vowe to never drink alcohol for six months Seiya had

prepared two bottles, just in case, filled with Virgin Strawberry Daquiri drinks. As they finished up eating

Serena and Seiya packed away everything and placed it all into his trunk. Seiya then took Serenas hand

for a barefoot, moonlit walk in the tide.

"Thank you for supper i really enjoyed it. Everything was wonderful."

"Your welcome im glad you liked it."

"The moon sure is beautiful tonight. Isnt it."

"Not as beautiful as you."

"Seiya. Your just saying that."

"No im not Serena you really do look beautiful. And not just tonight, all the time. Even when your

throwing up in the toilet."

"Ha no one looks good doing that."

"Well no. Your right. But to me your always beautiful. I have to tell you somthing Serena and i dont

want you to say anything until im done. I've wanted to get this out for a while now." Seiya stated while

ending their moonlit walk along the tide.

Serena stood there obeying Seiya's request. Seiya took in her apperance as she was standing under

the moon with her back to the water. The moon showered her in its moonlight. It was shining especially

bright for this moment, for her. Her hair glowed with radiance while blowing with the gentle breeze. The

moon reflected in her eyes, enhancing the crystal blue gaze she laid upon him. Her cheeks were revealed

with a natural pink tinge that complemented her velvety rose lips. She was a vision of beauty, a siren

that summoned his soul.

"Serena, just knowing you has blessed my life. In the time that we've known each other, somewhere in

the middle i had fallen in love with you. You have consumed everything i do. Every thought, every breath,

every heart beat its all for you. You have become the trees that allow me breath, the sun that brightens

up my day and fills me with a warmth. My moon in the sky giving me a light of hope that im not lost. The

stars that guide me home. You have shown me how to live. Before you i was a broken record doing the

same thing everyday. I love you Serena and i always will."

"Oh Seiya i dont know what to say."

"Please Serena dont say anything until your sure. I dont want you to say somthing if you dont really

mean it. Come on we should be getting back i have an early flight tomorrow."

Serena and Seiya walked back up the beach in silence towards the car. When the arrived back at her

parents house, Serena and Seiya said their final goodbyes, for who knows how long, with a deep and

desirous kiss. That night Serena couldnt help but cry herself to sleep. Tears of happiness for is declaration,

and tears of sadness for his departure.

Again please let me know what you think
