Chapter 3: The Mall and the Future Serena's thoughts

("Our deepest fears are not that we are inadequate") The future Serena thought as she walked through the mall trailing after all her old friends and her old love.

Serena stopped in front of a window and drooled over a dress, "That is so beautiful." Ray was right beside her staring at it and Darien starts to sigh as he rubs his forhead with his two fingers.

("Our deepest fears are that we are powerful beyond measure,") The future Serena went up to stand beside the oogling teenagers and smiled as she thought about what Darien was about to do, for she had already lived this in what seemed to be a life ago.

Darien sighed and he took out his wallet, "I think I can get that for you Serena."

Serena getting all excited looks up at him with a huge grin, "Are you serious? You are so great!"

("It is our light and not our darkness that most frightens us") The future Serena felt like someone was watching her so she looked around nervously, but seeing that she saw nothing she looked back to the younger Serena.

Ray looked jealous as she put her hands on her hips, "I don't think you will fit those meatballs into a dress like that."

Serena sticks her tongue out at Ray and laughed at her, "It's cause you don't have a boyfriend that will buy you one."

Rini sighed as she shook her head, "not this again, why do they always fight?"

Mina sighs as she shakes her head, "come on let's leave them two alone..."

("Your playing small does not serve the world") The future Serena looked at Mina with laughing eyes, "It's ok I can handle them."

So Mini and everyone left all three of them to be alone.

("There is nothing enlightened about shrinking") She watched the two coo over each other as they walked in and talked to the person behind the counter about the skirt.

The future Serena started to whisper to herself.

so that other people won't feel insecure around you..

We were all meant to shine, as children do.

Serena squeeled as she finally checked out the dress and was about to try it on.

Someone behind the future Serena said the next two lines, but instead of it making her happy it frighten her.

It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,

The mans behind her voice sounded cold and ditached from him.

Even though she was freaked out she continued...

we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

The man laughed softly to himself as he shook his head, "You always did believe in that quote, is that why you are here? To try to stop me from taking over their lives too?"

Serena frowned as she thought what a cleaver answer would be, "Talon you are the one who destroyed my life, your fight is with me, I do not want you to destroy what they have."

Talon shrugged as he walked off, "Yea, too bad you can't stop me."

The future Serena stares down at her feet with tears going down her cheeks as she thought. (As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.) She told herself as she knew that was the reason she was there, she knew she alone would not be able to do it, but two Serena's would be the trick. She watched as Darien and Serena were paying for the skirt, and she knew that these next couple of days were going to be the worst days of all their lives.
