Japanese words

Nani- no

Otousan- father

It was a bright Sunday afternoon. Serena had just got out from church with the others, and wanted to see what the others wanted to do for the day. She walked towards them as they waited for her. She had a feeling that this day isn't going to be an ordinary day.

She got to the car and said, "Konnichiwa everyone. What are we going to do today?"

"First Serena talk in English not in Japanese, and second we will tell you when we get home," Rei said sarcastically.

"Pyro Dragon! Why do you always have to pick on me?" She whined.

"It's so much fun doing it," in a mocking tone.

Serena went to her seat in the car. They drove home as they always do. Sometimes she would stare out the window watching other cars pass them, or sing the song that was playing on the radio, but this time was different.

She was looking at Darien, and Serena was trying to figure out what he was doing with his hands. For years he has been doing magic tricks. Practicing hour after hour to perfect his trick, and she was wondering about one thing. Why does he do magic in the first place?

She turned towards him, "Darien, I have a question for you," he looked at her, "What has gotten you to get involved into magic?"

"I just think that it looks cool just doing the ticks, because you never know when or where it's going to happen. I've got something to show you," he paused, "Wait I think there is something behind your ear."

He reached his hand behind her ear, and pulled out a quarter. All Serena could do is laugh.

"You certainly a very good magician, actually you are a great magician."

"Yes I am. Now would my lovely assistant would please open her right hand."

Serena slowly opened it, and she was astounded of what she saw before her. It wasn't doves or confetti like he always does, but it was a rose. The reddest and deepest color of red roses she has ever seen in her whole life. Serena blushed as red as the rose, and tried to hide it. She didn't want to see her best friend to see her blush.

"Wow! I'm amazed by your work. How do you do these tricks of sorcery?"

"A magician never reveal his secrets even to his assistants," he poked her forehead, "Come on the others are wondering why we haven't got out of the car."

"Darien," he gazed upon her, "About what happened on Friday after the pillow fight. I'm sorry that I fell on you."

"It's ok. Accidents happen."

Several hours later the scouts were hanging out in the living room. They were waiting for Serena to come downstairs so they could leave for their trip. Some of them were going to leave without her.

Lita spoke up, "Where is Moon? We were supposed to leave an hour ago."

"Did anyone tell her that we were going on this trip?" Ami asked.

There was a long pause, "I'll go grab Meatball head."

Mars ran up towards Moon's room to see if she was ready to go. She knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Rei waited for a minute, but she was becoming very impatient. She opened the door, and it was very quiet. All she found was a sleeping Meatball head.

She walked back downstairs, and told the others that she was asleep. The girls grabbed her stuff, and Darien carried her towards the r.v.

Darien's POV

Before I picked her up I wanted to see how she sleeps. She looks like an angel that fell from the heavens. I carried her to the vehicle, and laid her on the couch. Just looking at her wants me to hold her till the end of time, brushing my lips to hers, and touching her soft, smooth, and silky skin. Now I can hear words come out of her mouth, but there weren't words of good.

Serena's POV

Why do I have these dreams? I don't to remember these images. Nightmares or more like visions of my past. Ones that I don't want to rethink nor speak of again. There was one that hit me the most of all.

My father was always abusive to my mother and I. My mother was the nicest person I have ever met in my entire life. Both of them came from different cultures. They both had different personalities, but why did they choose each other than anyone else in the world?

Let's start with my father. He was a full blooded American. The only problem was that he secretly sold drugs to a lot of gangs in the city, but he never got caught. He always drinks and smokes everyday, or whenever my mom wasn't around.

My mother on the other hand she was from the Silver Millennium. She never told my dad that we were lunarians. She was kind, generous, caring, loving, gentle, innocent, and she had a big heart. Big enough to fit everyone in the galaxy, and she was always there for me.

Everything changed in that one horrifying night. I remember like it was yesterday. It was the middle of night; I was around 5 years old. Darien came over for a sleepover, and we had so much fun. A storm had just brewed in to the neighborhood, and my father was on his way home from where he never wanted to leave.

My mom paced across the living room waiting for his arrival. Feeling worried and scared, and holding her silk nightgown. I couldn't sleep, because I was afraid of storms. Then Darien was woken by the thunder and lightning. All of a sudden we heard someone come through the front door. I was happy that my dad came home. That way he could comfort me so I could sleep.

I wanted to talk to daddy, but something within my heart was telling me something bad was going to happen. Darien and I tipped toed down the hallway close enough so they couldn't see us.

My parents were arguing about some things that I couldn't understand before. I knew that it wasn't anything to be good. They were talking about me. For example my mom would say, "You are making a bad influence on Serena," or "Don't you even know how this will affect her in the future?" My dad didn't care about me anymore than he did since I was born. He just used my mom as a pawn in his scheme.

They have been at it with each other for the next 10 minutes. Then my dad did the most unthinkable thing that I have ever seen before. He pulled out a gun, and positioning for the shot.

My father spoke, "Say your prayers, Selenity."

Couldn't take it anymore, nor I didn't want anyone to get hurt because of me.

I ran downstairs and said, "Nani otousan! Don't do it."

"Serenity!" my mother and Darien shouted.

Darien slid on the railing of the stairs, and reached the bottom of the stairs before I did. He held me and not letting go. He was determined that my dad wasn't going to hurt me.

Then daddy pulled the trigger, and shot at mommy. It felt that my heart was destroyed when my mom was shot. Darien and I ran upstairs while my dad shot the bullets at us, but he missed every time. We ran back towards my room, and I never heard of my mother again.

End Dream Normal POV

Serena shot up from the seat, and breathed harder than she has ever done before in her entire life. She became nervous, no, she was petrified. She didn't want anything to happen to her friends, especially Darien. She almost lost him once on that same night long ago. If she were to tell the police her father would have killed her best friend. He would also to the same if Darien told someone else.

Darien came over to see what was wrong with Serena, "Moon, What's wrong?"

She cried into his arms, "I won't let him kill you. You're all I have left of my childhood. I won't let him take you away."

"Calm down Serena. What are you trying to say?"

"My father was willing to kill, and let my life live in misery. Taking almost everything that I had, but he is not going to take you with him."

"Moon that was about 11 years ago and I promise that nothing will ever happen to you. Your father is never going to hurt us ever again. He's long gone now, and I will always be right by your side."

She stopped crying and lay her head on his shoulder, "You're right. I shouldn't be thinking like that. He died years ago," she paused, "It's just so hard. Being separated from you, and living alone. Trying to learn things on your own, keeping shelter, hardly having anything to eat, running away from the orphanage, and…"

Darien put his finger on her lips, "Serena, don't you think I didn't go through the same thing," he paused, "I never told you this, but my parents died when I turned 8. It was a few months since we moved to our new house. The only reason that I look like the way I am now is that I inherited my parent's money."

"I never really thought what was like to be in your shoes. What do you think that your parents are saying about us right now if they were looking at us?"

"Well, I think that they are saying that they're glad that I have a great friend like you that I can always count on to be there."

"Hey, are you two lovebirds ready to go?" Venus asked.

The looked at each other and Serena spoke, "Mina, if you haven't noticed that we have been ready to go."

"Oh okay. I'll get the others, and then we will be leaving to go on our vacation."

Everyone go into vehicle, and headed off towards their destination. Mina was working on the plan to perfect it for the upcoming couple.
