Newblue2: Hi, so sorry about taking so long to update I went on vacation them I started school the day after I got back. And a brand new school no less! Thanks all of you who reviewed I loved all your reviews! (Glomps all reviewers) Especially NocturneD you're the only one who read and reviewed the first chapter and reviewed for the second chapter! (Gives NocturneD a candy bar)
Warning: This is a long chapter. (For me at least) And this is to do with Serenity's childhood away from Joey (my version) And I'm sorry I lied and no Mokuba x Serenity moments in this chapter but there will be some in the next chapter! Promise!

Serenity watched the clouds by the windows of the small aircraft. A flight attendant came, and offered Serenity a drink. She shook her head no and continued staring out the window.
Serenity nervously twisted the edge of her shirt. This was going to be the first time she had seen her brother since she was 5. She thought about what she had gone through since she was 5.

Before
-
Her mother had left the country soon after the incident. Mrs. Wheeler decided to move in with her parents, in Hong Kong. Mrs. Wheeler soon got a job at the British Embassy as a secretary. She would pull long hours at the office in order to get enough money for a small apartment for Serenity and her to share. (Serenity's grandparents' apartment was barely big enough for the two of them let alone the four of them. and Serenity was growing up fast.) Also to possibly gain citizenship in the United Kingdoms. (AKA: England, Britain, which ever you want to call it)
When Serenity was eleven Mrs. Wheeler saved enough money for them to get an apartment. But all to soon Serenity began to lose her eyesight. The doctors said that Serenity would lose her eyesight if not treated soon. The operation cost a lot so Mrs. Wheeler got a second job as a maid in the same building that she worked in. Mrs. Wheeler worked almost 24/7 trying to save enough money for Serenity's surgery. Mrs. Wheeler sent letter after letter to her ex-husband, asking for child support. Each letter...no reply.
Mrs. Wheeler during her long hours at the office became friends with a famous lawyer, just announced the consulate for Britain, named Lee Kyo. Lee liked Mrs. Wheeler a lot the two went out on the weekends, when Mrs. Wheeler was off work, but with Serenity. Lee soon began to love Serenity like his own daughter. He pitied the mother and daughter, wishing he could do something. Then he finally did something.
Flashback
"Hello Serenity!" said Lee Kyo as Serenity stumble/climbed in the back seat of his car. He often picked Serenity up from the school, because her mother worked long hours.
"Hi, mister Lee!" chirped Serenity. Lee looked back at Serenity as she blindly tried to find the seat belt.
"How is your eyesight today?" asked Lee. Knowing what the answer would be.
"Better than yours, mister Lee!" she laughed. Serenity always tried to make things better than they were. Anyone could tell that Serenity could almost not see anything anymore.
Lee looked in the rearview mirror at the small girl as she blanckly looked out the window with a small smile on her face, she was such a innocent girl. 'She's going to lose her eyesight totally some day soon.' Thought Lee sadly, 'Her mother won't be able to get the money in time. If only there was some thing I could do...wait what am I thinking there is something I could do!' Lee quickly made a sharp turn towards the hospital.
"Where are we going mister Lee?" asked Serenity.
"It's a surprise, were we are going." Replied a very happy Mr. Kyo.

At The Hospital
-
"Name?" asked the nurse.
"Serenity Wheeler." Answered Lee.
"What is she in for?" asked the nurse.
"She is for an optical surgery."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No, but I heard Doctor Yakima was in town, and he is the specialist of this type of surgery."
"Yes, I guess that is true." Came a new voice from behind Lee.
"Doctor Yakima? Aren't you suppose to be in surgery?" asked the nurse.
"Ah yes. We finished an hour ago and I was on my way home," he began quite board with the conversation. He saw Serenity looking up blankly up at him, he smiled and bent down to her side.
"Ahhh, little one now what's the problem?" he asked kindly closely looking at her eyes and how she responded to the light he was shinning in her eyes.
She smiled and laughed, "Nothing just mister Lee is jealous that I can see better than him."
Doctor Yakima half-heartedly laughed, but he looked very worried. He patted Serenity on the head and stood up. He beckoned Lee and the nurse to follow him.
"Serenity," said Lee, "stay right here I'll be right back. She nodded her head yes.
"Mr. Ummm..."
"Mr. Kyo."
"Mr. Kyo, I'm sorry to say this but... but your daughter is almost completely blind right now I think she only sees darkness except maybe she saw the light I shown in her eyes."
Lee did a double take. First (but not importantly) he called her his daughter. But her eyesight was that far gone. He guessed in the car that her eyesight was almost gone but not that far.
"I heard that she needed a operation but, she needs the operation today in order to restore her eyesight. Or she will be blind forever..."
The doctor kept talking about some technical thing but Lee was lost in thought. Lee looked back at the small child playing with the edge of here plaid skirt. He turned to the doctor,
"How much will it cost for the surgery?"
"Uhhh…maybe 230,000 Hong Kong Dollars (A1), it will cost more because we will have to call the doctors."
"It's fine, I'll pay."
-
Lee explained to Serenity what was happening and a nurse lead her down a hall. A nurse came up behind Lee and told him to follow her to fill out paperwork.
"Are you her father?"
"Uhhhh... yes" answered Lee. He remembered that you need to be the parent or legal guardian in order to pay for the operation. 'Oh well' he thought, 'I will work it out later.'
End of Flashback
Serenity's mother found out that Serenity was in the hospital and that night Lee proposed to her. Mrs. Wheeler became Mrs. Kyo, and one year later Serenity got a little sister named Hope. About a month after Hope was born a check came in the mail for Serenity's operation, from her brother. Serenity returned the money, as though a donation hoping Joey wouldn't notice. He didn't.
Now 4 years later Serenity was on her family's private jet (duh her family is really rich) on her way to see her big brother. But not as Serenity Wheeler but as Serenity Kyo. But Joey doesn't need to know that, dose he?

The seat belt sign went on rising Serenity from her world. She fastens her seat belt and looked down at the seat next to her and smiled.
"Here Teddy, let me help you with you seat belt." Serenity fastens the belt over the small sandy brown haired bear. And looked out the window at the upcoming city.
