"I'll see you tomorrow then?" Darien asked as Serena walked slowly towards the door.
"Maybe, I have got some work." Serena said, as she turned round to face him and continued her exit backwards. She smiled sweetly at him and was now out of the apartment completely.
"Since when do you work?" He asked, knowing that he was becoming horrible again. But he quickly added, "But if you don't want to see me…"
"No, no, no, I do want to see you, I just don't know what I will be doing yet. I will text you and let you know." She smiled at him and walked down the corridor.
Darien watched her go and sighed, he knew it would happen again, him and Serena would get back together like was planned and then they would have their child. But Darien was worried, would it take Serena too long to realise her feelings, or did she already feel something for him? He would find out soon enough, and with this thought he walked back into his room and closed the door.
It was nearly 7 o'clock when Serena woke. She was used to waking up so early now, she always jogged before work and she wasn't going to miss that habit. She pulled her legs out of bed and sat on the edge for a while. Today she would talk to the girls about what they thought she should do about Darien. She knew he liked her, but she wasn't sure if she liked him.
Eventually she pulled herself up and walked towards the mirror and smiled at her reflection. Her hair was everywhere and she noticed that her shorts and t-shirt had loads of wrinkles in it. She was always a wriggler in bed. She walked over to the box near her bed and grabbed her jogging gear; then walked from her room and into the hall, where she went into the bathroom to get changed.
After a few minutes she reemerged with tidy hair and donning her tracksuit. It was now half seven and she was due at a job interview in town about nine o'clock so Serena decided to just go for a quick jog around the block, come back have a shower and head off into town.
Serena made her way down the stairs and out of the house without falling over once, turning out of her gate, she went left and jogged down the street. It wasn't long before she came to the arcade and she could see someone inside seemingly having trouble with something so she stopped and walked over to the big glass doors. Inside was a blonde haired guy, instantly it made Serena smile, she had always liked Andrew, once upon a time she had even fancied him, but their relationship was like siblings now. She thought of him as an older brother and loved him for his generosity.
She was about to leave him to play with the back door when it burst open and he flew back toward the counter, banging his head on one of the stools, knocking himself unconscious.
"Andrew." Serena shouted, looking around herself for someone to help, but that time in a morning there was no one around. No one to help her, no one to help Andrew. She didn't have any powers left and the only person she could think would be able to help was really one of the last people she felt like seeing at that precise moment. So she decided she would do it, yer she hadn't got her powers, and she was always a wimp, but she was better now, she could take care of herself…. Or so she hoped.
Serena walked straight for the door, the automatic sensors feeling her presence and opening to let her walk through right into the danger zone.
"Let him go!" Serena shouted, watching as the ugly monster made its way out of the back door and towards Andrew's unconscious body.
"Who are you?" It said, turning its head to take in the small form threatening it.
"Serenity Tsukino of the moon, and your worst nightmare."
