Okay again... I don't own any of the Sailor Moon Characters.
A Model Who Wants to be Normal Chapter 5
Serena walked through the front doors to the gym and headed for the locker room to put down her bag. When she came out of the locker room she was wear a pair of gray Lucy spandex pants, with a black sports bra and a white tank top, plus running shoes. Her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. She had a cd player so she could listen to music while running and to keep her mind occupied so she wouldn't be bored while she was at the gym.
Serena decided to run awhile on the treadmill before lifting some weights. Serena's legs are long and slender; they weren't extremely buff or big with muscle, but just enough muscle to make her legs look tone. By the time her hour of running on the treadmill she had ran about 19 miles and burned 1,397 calories. Serena got off the treadmill and walked over to the weights and began her routine to work on her arms. Then she sat on a station bike and cycled for another hour, to tone out her thighs. She spent another hour working on her abs; overall she spent about 3 and half hours at the gym to work on her toned body. Every other day she would meet with her trainer or work out a gym to keep her body in shape.
The funny thing was that Serena would always be pigging out on food every chance she could get. Many had wondered how she could eat sooo much and not gain too much weight. But Serena has a very high metabolism, she was very lucky for that. Other models envy her for that. With all the food Serena eats, she still has a balanced of foods, and exercise to help keep her healthy.
After the hard work Serena spent at the gym, she went back to the locker room and took a shower before she headed over to the rehearsal. Serena left the gym and drove 20 minutes to the galleria for rehearsal. She checked her cell phone for any messages and she had 2 messages. One was from Luna, reminding her that she had rehearsal tonight and Mina had called, and that her parents had called to check up on her and wanted to hear from her when she had time. The 2nd message was from Mina, saying that she got a call from Andrew to schedule a time to work on their English project and was definitely asking a lot of question about her (Serena), she wasn't getting any good vibes when Andrew was asking questions. Mina also told Serena to call her when she was done with rehearsals. Serena just smiled at her cousin, and how sweet it was of her being so protective with her.
While pulling up to the parking lot for the galleria, Serena stepped out of the car and grabbed her cell and water bottle, then headed towards to building, while the tech group was bringing out props, sets, lights, and etc for the show. A few models were yelling at people to bring them something or screaming that they don't have something. It was very hectic. The stage manger was soon starting to call, "Listen up! I need the models to get to the stage so I can discuss a few things before we go through rehearsal. Come on now! Let's hurry! We don't have all night to do this. Hey you..." pointing to some random person demanding something else. Serena hurried inside the building, making sure that she wouldn't miss the meeting. She was also looking for another model who was a dear friend of hers from the biz.
While looking for her friend and walking to the stage area, she heard her name being called from behind her, "SERENITY!" Serena stops and turns to see that it was Amy Kellar. Serena met Amy 4 years ago at another runway show. At that show Serena had accidentally broke the heel on her shoe and she was just about to be call for her turn, the people backstage were frantically looking for another pair of shoes that she could borrow. Amy came over to Serena and told her that she could borrow her shoes. After that event, Serena found Amy and thanked her for lending her shoes and they were friends since that show.
Amy was the same age as Serena, 17, but she was home schooled by her father. Mr. Kellar was a very dedicated to Amy and her dreams. He used to be an engineer at some company, but quite his job to be there for Amy, but Amy was not his only reason why he quit his job, he wasn't happy at his job and missed out on his daughter's life. So he quit and began home schooling Amy when she was 12 years old. Her mother is a Doctor and gets called to the hospital quite often. So Dr. Kellar wasn't home too much, but she did show up every single show Amy was in. The Kellars are very proud of their daughter. Amy was a rebel model and didn't like to be bleached blonde, a redhead, or brunette, you could say that she didn't like her hair color like everybody else, so she dyes her hair blue. She has short layered blue hair down to her chin. Amy had dark blue eyes that you could just get lost in; it was like looking into a clear blue lake. Amy was one of the shorter models, just under 5'4. She had petite body with poise and grace. Amy was well known for her signature hair, but mostly for eye expression. In every picture that Amy was in her eyes would express so much emotion; you could just see and feel the emotion Amy had put in, just through her eyes.
After Serena stops and finished disgusting that her named was called, she saw Amy rushing up to Serena giving her a hug. "AMES!!! Boy have I missed you!!! You haven't changed one bit! Since I last saw you! And that was... what 2 months ago?!?! I can't believe that you're in this show too!!! Just seeing you makes my day!" said an excited Serena.
"Sere... well I definitely have to say that things has changed since I first met you! You were so cute when you first arrived... I remember at the rehearsal for the show in New York and you wearing a pink dress with roses on it. And your hair were up in that meatball style! Just after that rehearsal some of the other models started wearing their hair like yours, but I have to say that I'm appalled that you're not wearing your hair in your usual fashion. The most important thing is that you look great!" replied Amy.
The 2 girls were chatting away, until the producer came on stage and start the announcements, "Hello girls, I am Cliff and I'm the one who is producing this show. I want to thank you for coming tonight's rehearsal on time. This was going to be the dress rehearsal, but as you have probably have heard that Natasha has dropped out of the show," all the other models started to chatter and asking each other why has Natasha quit and who was taking her spot in the show. Cliff waited until the murmur died down and continued, "I know that you're all dying to know who is replacing Natasha, and that would be Serenity Moon. So we're changing the order of the show so Serenity show off Natasha's line as well as her line. I understand that tonight's practice might take a little longer, but I want you all to be prepared and ready to go when it's your turn. So the new lineup is posted allover backstage. That's all the news for now, so let's get going. We're going to pretend that this is the night of the show, so this is a trial run for the show. Chop, chop girls." After than all the models rushed off to their makeup and hair stations and dressing rooms.
After 2 long hours of rehearsal it was already 9:30 pm and she still hasn't called Mina back. Cliff decided that the girls had worked hard enough, "Okay girls, listen up! You all worked very hard so far, and we still have lots of work to finish, but I believe that you have all worked so hard that you can take a 15 minute break and then we'll finish up the rehearsal."
Serena was very grateful that they got a break. She was very tired from rushing from one outfit to another and then running back to the stage, even tho she had 4 or 5 other people before she would present the next set of clothes. Before Natasha quit, Serena had at least 10-12 people before she would up again, but now, she worked twice the amount she did before. Serena walked back to the dressing room to grab her phone to call Mina and Luna, but she found Amy, "Ames, I'm soooo exhausted! I don't know what my agent was thinking when she agreed that I would fill in for Natasha?!?!"
Amy spoke, "Sere, you're doing wonderful! I'm going to bow down to you, since you're taking soo much work on. I swear, you're the super woman of modeling. I know that I wouldn't be able to handle it." Amy took a huge gulp of water, while Serena was digging through her bag for her phone.
"Ames, excuse me while I call back my agent and cousin about school work," said Serena.
"Sere, I think that you're soo lucky to be going to school! I mean I love my dad and all, but I can't help feeling that I'm missing out on being a teen. If I didn't like you I would definitely be envious of you and your life, so I'll let you make your phone calls," replied Amy.
"Thanks," as Serena was walking towards the door to get fresh air and some privacy when makes her calls. Once she was outside, Serena felt so refreshed by the night's cool air. She dialed Luna's #. Ring... ring... "Hello?"
"Hi Auntie! I'm just calling to check in."
"Hey there sweetie. Thanks for the call. Anything exciting happened at the gym or rehearsal tonight?" asked Luna.
"Nothing happened so far, rehearsal is going really well, but I'm exhausted from walking down the runway, then running off stage once I'm done to change into the next outfit and run back to the line for que. Did I get any calls besides Mina and my parents? I'm going to call them back tomorrow during school hours, most likely during lunch, so don't worry about me missing out on class," said Serena.
"Okay, that's good. Your parents said that they miss you and that they love you. Basically the normal message, and Mina called again about an hour ago, but I told her that you'll call her when you have the time. And... nope that's about it... wait, no, actually you got a call from a boy,"
Serena cut Luna off, "...What boy Auntie? Did he leave any message?"
"Umm... I think his name was Daren... or Damien... Shields, he was calling about some assignment. He just asked when you would return. I told him I would let you know that you called and you call him whenever you get the time to," stated Luna.
Serena mumbled, "Fuck! I forgot about him and the project! Shit! I don't have enough time to call him and Mina. Auntie do me a favor and call Mina back and tell her that I didn't have the time to call her tonight but I'll call her tomorrow morning. I gotta run, but thank you. I love you and I should be home before midnight, I hope!"
"Okay honey, I'll call her. Just hurry up and finish. I'll see you when you get home," said Luna.
Serena sprinted to her car hoping that she could find Darien's #. She found it and quick style called him... ring... ring... "Hello, this is Darien speaking." Once Serena heard a tenor voice that was sexy and made her heart melt by his tone, but quickly remembered why she was on the phone.
"Hi Darien, this is Serena. I'm sorry for calling you so late, but I was in the middle of something and lost track of time," replied in an apologetic tone.
"Hey Serena, no worries. I'm thinking that we could meet after school tomorrow around 3 at the library?" asked Darien, 'I hope that she can make it. She sounds really tired and busy. Boy does she make my blood boil when I hear her british accent... shit! It's not my turn yet!!! Fuck! I wished that Andrew would relinquish his spot in the line to me and find some other chick!' waiting for Serena to reply. He over heard, "SERENITY?!?! IT'S YOU'RE UP NEXT!!!"
"Shit. Okay I'll meet you at the library tomorrow and sorry to make this call short but I have to go. I'll see ya tomorrow. Late," a rushed replied by Serena. 'Fuck! I'm soo screwed!!!' Serena thought as she was running full speed indoors to get into her change and get on stage.
*3 hours later*
The rehearsal was finished for the day and the next few days would be the days for a few models would practice individually before the show that was coming up in 2 weeks. The next time Serena had to be in was Sunday.
Just as she was heading outside to her car to go home, Cliff called her and wanted to speak to her, "Serenity, thank you so much for filling in for Natasha. I just want to personally thank you, but I also wanted to discuss with you about being a regular model for Victoria Secret. Today's rehearsal was fabulous! And I believe that you'll be the next 'it' girl in America. You moved with such grace and presented yourself very well and I speak on the half of Victoria Secret that we want you to be part of the regular models." Cliff kept congratulating her on her perform and dragging on the conversation. Finally he let her go, and he would see her on Sunday.
Serena could see her car in a few yards in front of her, but saw someone leaning against her car, as if he or she were waiting her. As came closer to the car, she saw Amy with tears in her eyes. Serena asked, "Ames are you okay? Is something the matter?"
Amy looked up and sniffed, "Serenity... I'm sorry to be bothering you, but I just got in a big argument with my dad about modeling and school, I yelled at him and he yelled back, and my final words was that I didn't want to be at home, so he just said go, leave and I did. I didn't know who to turn to. So I thought that you would be able to help me."
"Of course Amy. Anytime, why don't you come and spend the night at my place? That way you can have some space between your dad? How does that sound?" asked Serena.
"That would be wonderful. I would really appreciate that."
"Hop in and we'll go back to my place, but you need to call your parents and tell them that you're staying at my place tonight. Deal?"
"Deal."
On the car ride home, Amy explained everything to Serena. Amy was feeling rather smothered by her dad and wanted to be more independent than she was now. Amy cried and felt better after she talked to Serena. Another factor to Amy's arguments with her family was about attending school with people, but her parents were afraid that the press would be in her face and ruin her reputation. Serena had certainly understood where Amy was coming from, but at the same time didn't understand.
Suddenly, Serena had the idea, "Hey Ames..."
"Yeah?"
"Maybe when things between you and your parents are more calm about things then maybe we can convince them to let you go to school with me? What do you think of that?" asked Serena.
"That would be the best thing I could ever get, but how do you think that we could convince my parents? I mean they're soo protective of me," said Amy.
"We won't worry about that until later, but do you want to go to school with other people? That's the main question," said Serena.
"There's no thought about it! OF COURSE I want to go to school!!" explained a very excited Amy.
"Well then, that's settled. Tomorrow we'll speak to you parents about it. Now we at my place and I'm exhausted from today's work. So I say let's call it a night!" said a sleepy Serena.
The 2 girls took the elevator up to Serena's apartment. Serena had no energy to run up 10 flights of stairs. Once they reached the apartment, Luna had already made up the spare room for Amy. Serena introduced Luna and Amy and stated that she was going to bed now. The 2 laughed at Serena and all said good night and went to bed.
