Chapter Three: From the Beginning

Note This is like a really big flashback. I'm going back and from here will explain what triggered everything. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REVIEWING! If you got any questions then just e-mail me! Oh and I don't own Sailor Moon cries

After the Starlights left and there was no more enemy activity, the Scouts decided to move on with their lives. Serena especially tried her hardest to live up to everyone's expectations. The Tsukinos left Japan because of Ken's new job offer in America. They allowed Serena to stay and live with Lita only because they discovered her identity as Sailor Moon. This was the time that Serena knew that she could improve herself. Darien and Ami tutored her after school which improved her work enormously. Rei was training her to meditate and reach her more "spirital" side, that wind up boosting her powers. Mina trained her on fashion and excersising. By the end of the summer, Serena was more fit and almost healthier than Mina. Her body began to develope into a beautiful young adult. Although, no matter how hard Mina tried, Serena would not give up her meatball hair style. It was just who she was. Andrew helped in as well. He gave Lita and Serena jobs at the Crown Arcade which they put together to buy a car for their last year in school. The Outer Scouts left Japan with no word to anybody. Serena was starting to really enjoy life and couldn't wait for the future...

Friday began good for Serena. She had got to bed early and rested well, ate breakfast and made it to school on time. Although she had test in most of her subjects, she was prepared and felt that she had passed them all. Her life was finally coming together after all these years. Serena had zoned out of reality as she walked down the sidewalk. Andrew gave her the night shift at the Arcade since that is when less customers came in. He wanted to spend time training her before giving her the lunch crowd. A sudden breeze passed by quickly and then came a crash towards the end of the corner that she was to turn. Serena snapped back to reality and saw the scene laid out before her. There wasn't much time to think and before she knew it, her legs had carried her to the car that had crashed into a street light pole. Not much damage to the car, Serena thought as she ran around it to the passenger's seat. In it was a man with his head on the stirring wheel. Serena quickly opened the door and gently pulled him back to his seat. He had apparently hit his head hard enough for it to start bleeding. The man, Serena thought to herself, was very handsome. She measured him to be about 6'1 in height. His hair was a strange silverish color that reminded her of someone, but she couldn't place her finger on it. He was pale, much like Serena was, but had a striking resemblace to Darien. The thought made her skin crawl and she shivered. By that time the man barely opened up his eyes and mummbled something. Serena moved in closer to hear what he was saying.

"Sir? Sir are you okay? Can you hear me? Sir?"

Serena looked over the top of the car and saw viewer gawking at the sight. Anger rose up in her and she narrowed her eyes. Then she started to shout.

"DON'T JUST STAND THERE! SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE!"

The viewers looked around at each other and a store owner who had stood outside ran in to make the call. Serena felt the guy move inside and dunked back in. He tried to get out of his car, but Serena held him back by the shoulders.

"Don't move. You were just in a car accident. Stay still, help is on the way."

Serena noticed that he was fading in and out of consciousness. She didn't know what else to do. So all she did was wait for the sirens.

At the hospital

Serena had spent more than two hours there waiting for the guy to wake up. She had fallen asleep on the chair next to his bedside. A tap on her knee had brough her out of her slummber. She looked over at the man on the bed and realized it was he who woke her up. He stared for a moment then smiled. Serena smiled back and stood next to him, placing her head on his forehead.

"You feeling okay"
"Yes. Thank you for saving me"
"It was the only think I knew to do. Besides people didn't have enough sense to call the ambulace. I couldn't stand not helping."

The man's smile widened and took her hand then squeezed it. It surprised Serena at first and she hesitated at squeezing back. The man noticed her awkwardness and let go of her hand.

"I apologize. So may I ask the name of my savior?"

Serena laughed and held out her hand to him for a shake.

"Tsukino...Serena...I mean..Serena Tsukino at your service"
"It's nice to meet you Serena Tsukino. My name is Miki Taro."

They shook hands then Serena sat back down in the chair. Miki sat up in his bed and turned to her.

"I hope I didn't take you away from anything important"
"Nah, I was just on my way to work."

Serena smiled and the man looked at her with a raised eye brow. Then the thought processed in her mind and she stood up. Miki (nor anyone else in the community) didn't have fast enough reflex to cover their ears before Serena squealed in shock as she jumped up and down.

"Lateforwork!Lateforwork!Ididn'tevencall!Didn'tevencall!"

Miki laughed at the young girl's reaction and when Serena heard the laughter she stopped. An angry expressing appeared on her face. Her fists curled up and steam out her ears.

"...Baka...!"

The man stopped laughing and matched the expression on Serena's face.

"Baka? I wouldn't be talking...Meatball Head!"

Serena stopped and her eyes got wide. A chill ran up her spine again. Miki saw her and loosened up.

"Umm...I'm sorry..that was uncalled for."

Serena stood still trying to calm down her nerves. He had just called her 'Meatball Head'? No one knew her nor called her by that name except her friends. Miki cleared his throat and pointed to the phone across the room.

"You can use that phone to call in."

She walked over to the phone, still keeping her eyes on Miki until she heard Andrew's voice. By then she turned around to the wall and talked lowly.

At the Arcade

Andrew had just returned from a booth where the scouts and Darien were, when he heard the phone ring. He alked over and answered.

"Crown Arcade, Andrew speaking"
"Andrew it's me, Serena"
"Serena?"

Over at the booth, the scouts heard Seren's name and walked over to the counter. Andrew turned around to face them.

"You're late, Serena"
"THAT'S AN OVERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY!"

Yelled Rei as she leaned over the counter. They all started laughing. On the other end of the phone Serena just rolled her eyes. Andrew did the same and leaned in to the wall.

"So where are you"
"The hospital"
"The hospital?"

The group went wide eye and glanced around at each other, all sharing the same worry feeling.

"There was an accident"
"Yeah. I will tell you everything later. I have to go. Be there in an hour. Bye"
"Okay...see ya then. Bye"

Andrew hung up the phone and turned to a bunch of worried faces. He shrugged to them and walked over to the counter.

"She said she would be here in an hour to explain things."

At the Hospital

Serena hung up and turned around to be face to chest with the man. She yelped and then held onto her chest in shock. The man was behind her and raised an eye brow.

"You get a hold of your friends"
"I don't know, you tell me. You were right behind me weren't you?"

Serena said rudely then sighed. She walked to the chair and grabbed her purse. She was on her way to the door when the man stopped her. Standing in front of her he blocked her path. She looked up at him shockingly. Serena sighed and moved to the side to walk pass him, but he only blocked her again.

"Where are you going"
"To work. I'm late. Excuse me."

She tried to move to the side again, but he only blocked her. Serena grew frustrated and then stopped looking up at him.

"I said excuse me."

He waited a moment before moving and watched her leave.

"So that is Serena Tsukino? Doesn't look much like a queen to me."
