standard disclaimer I do not own Sailor Moon. I never did and I never will thank you.

Author's note: I would like to thank Red-Rose18, Serenathy, Dark Hime, and Erica 6060

for reviewing; I'm so glad you are all enjoying the story so far! Also to

answer a few questions I received. Yes Serena is Rose's daughter-the

reason she's treated so badly will come out more in further chapters. I

do plan on putting the girls in the story at some point but I haven't

decided where yet but they definitely won't be Sam's friends. Sam and

Darien are 17 and seniors. Serena's 15 and a sophomore. If anyone

has any questions please write me, I love hearing your thoughts. As

always please read review and enjoy! –Mars Light

The Taylor's

Chapter 3

After Detention, Serena came running out trying to catch the late bus as she watched it pull away; and if things weren't bad enough already she had just felt a rain drop hit her on the head as she started her long walk home, when she heard some one call her name.

"Hey Serena, going my way" She turned to see Darien driving a red sports car and walked over to it as she asked him "hi Darien what are you still doing here". Darien put the car in park then got out and walked over to her saying "I'm going to give you a ride home if you'll allow me" as he opened the passenger door for her.

Serena closed the door then started walking on telling him "I'm fine thanks anyway I'll just walk I like the exercise". Darien quickly caught up with her telling her "hold it Serena you're not actually going to walk in the rain, come on get in the car". She looked at him then said "no I think I'll pass".

As she started to walk away she dropped one of her books then reaching down to get it she dropped another. Then going to get that one she dropped them all, as she sat down to collect them she grumbled something about hating school.

Darien walked over to her and helped her pick up the books as he laughed telling her "you know that's what lockers are for". Serena turned to him with an attitude as she said "yeah well it's not easy when you're doing two class loads".

He looked over at her not sure what she meant, but then decided to let it pass as he told her with his most sincere voice "please let me help you".

Serena knew she would hear it from Sam on this one but decided to take Darien up on his offer

During the drive home

Serena sat quietly as Darien drove when he turned to her and asked "you like hamburgers". Serena looked over to him surprised as she said "excuse me". He looked at her then asked again "you like hamburgers I know this great place not far from here they have great burgers".

She turned away from him quickly saying "I can't". Darien sarcastically started telling her "well of course not that would mean you would have to say more then five words to me". Serena turned, telling him rudely "just take me home". Darien laughed as he said "four words" which Serena came back at him with "asshole five words".

After that the rest of the car ride was silent.

Darien pulled into Serena's driveway and she just sat in the car for a moment just staring at the house. He turned and told her "your home". She responded back "yes". Not sure if he should say something or not he asked her "do you need help with your books or anything". Serena took a deep breath then told him "no I've got it thank you for the ride" and started getting out of the car.

As Darien grabbed her arm telling her "you know we can still get that burger if you want". She looked back at him and said "no I have homework to do, goodbye" as she turned and ran inside closing the door behind her.

Inside the Taylor household

"Where have you been?" Rose Taylor screamed at her daughter, Serena turned to her mother saying "I had to stay after school". Rose crossed her arms looking at her daughter asking "what aren't you telling me Serena".

Serena immediately knew she couldn't lie to her mother she could never lie to anyone, as she told her "I had detention after school today". Serena's mother looked at her with disgust as she said "well who were you fighting with this time Serena". Serena shook her head saying "no one mama I swear".

Serena's mother grabbed her by the ear bringing her down to her knees telling her "don't you lie to me Serena I don't like being lied too". Serena quickly told her mother that the reason she had detention was because she was late so much to class. Rose let go of Serena's ear and walked away telling her "now was that so hard, now come eat your dinner before it gets cold".

At the dinner table Samantha and Serena sat down as Rose put there plates down in front of them and then sat down with them and asked "so girls tell me about your day". Samantha quickly started "well mama Bridget and I were out shopping today and I saw the most beautiful dress for prom it was gold and had all this beading on it and its low cut so I know Darien will love it, can I get it mama". Rose smiled at her daughter and said "of course dear how much is the dress". Samantha smiled at her mother and said 900.

Serena almost choked on the pork chop when she heard how much the dress cost. Rose turned telling her daughter "of course Sam I'll have the money for you by the end of the week"; Serena looked over at her mother and asked "but mama when I said I needed braces you told me we didn't have the money". Rose Taylor looked at her daughter telling her "Serena this is your sister's prom dress it's important besides who's going to be looking at your teeth anyway".

Serena whispered back "yes mama" and finished eating.
