New chapter! The points of view will be shared through out Serena's, and the scouts. Thanks to angel-1844 who told me to add some of their thoughts in on the story too. I hope you'll enjoy the story. Please Review! And about to update Loves in the Way P.S. ummm last chapter when I put italics around "got with Seiya who abuses, and uses me" that meant it was a thought. She has not told any one she is abused by Seiya.

I don't own Sailor Moon. But I do love it!

One Summer

Ch3: Lost Friends

Serena's P.O.V.

What happened to all the times we first met, I befriended them. I brought us all together. First there was Amy the shy, new girl outcast. Then Lita the most feared bully in "Tokyo" (cough, cough). Ray went to a different school but my school knew of her as "crow woman", I still offered my friendship. And Mina… When I found out she was Sailor V. I instantly knew we were going to be friends. What went wrong? What made them hate me so?

The waterworks just kept coming, and I finally noticed my body was enveloped in a warm embrace. "…..Darien?"

"I'm so sorry Serena?" I never meant for this to happen. I just needed more time to study to get into medical school. I couldn't give you the attention you needed, but I promised I would come back to you when I made myself worthy of your love. But this… this was not meant to happen.

Amy's P.O.V.

It was finally over, the state championship between Hickman High and East Dale High. Of course our team won, we had Mina. It was weird though I saw Mina sulk after they announced she won M.V.P. What's wrong with her? This is real strange. Just like Lita, she has been getting in a lot of fights lately, and she's been recently suspended from school. Wait… She stopped fighting once her and Serena came friends, well except when it came to demons. Does this mean losing Serena is affecting us that much? I wish we weren't so mean to her, but she wasn't the only one hurt.

She hurt the team a lot after Darien dumped her. I understood her being upset; she did need time to heal. But after a month we just all hit our boiling points. Her grades dropped, she wasn't cheery anymore, ate less, wasn't there for Ray when her grandpa died, and always late to battles. Especially when we needed her, Mina almost died for god-sake! She still didn't change though. It hurt us too much, physically and emotionally. We needed her out.. I just wish she were the same Sere who became my first friend.

Flash back

It was my fifth day of school and still no one talked to me. But I was used to it. Unfortunately I still had no idea how to get to my classes. And I could tell the teachers got really irritated when I showed up late. I couldn't help it, on my first day here the person assigned to show me around ditched me after being introduced by the principal. I was on my way to my first class and I still couldn't remember which hall to take. There in front of me was a girl two inches shorter then me with gold hair in two buns that let loose pieces cascade down. Her baby-blue eyes looked at me, with a hearty smile on her face. "Your new right?"

"I looked around and saw no one else then I pointed to myself. She nodded.

"Yes…" I squeaked.

"Cool. I'm Serena! Do you need help looking for your class because you seem kind of lost to me."

Gratefully I said "Yes. Thank you, maybe for once to class I'll be on time"

"ummm, by the way what's your name?"

"Amy"

"Hey Amy, if you want to you can eat with me and my friends at lunch."

I was shocked. No one ever said that to me before. "Okay."

"Friends?" She held out her right pinky.

I was confused until she took my right pinky and entwined it with hers. I finally caught on. "Friends."

End

She was my first friend to gain and ironically to lose.

Mina P.O.V.

The game was finally over, and I looked up in the crowded stands and only one person that I wanted to be here was present. At least Amy came to see my game. Ray's to busy playing leader, Lita's suspended from school grounds, I wish Rena were here.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, today's M.V.P. helped her team's tally of points by scoring 32… without further ado Mina Aino!" YES! I started to stand up when I heard someone say, "Mina, looks like you'll always remember September 17th."

That date started ringing through my ears. What was I forgetting? Oh my gosh! Today is Serena's Birthday. Guilt washed over me as I walked up to receive my trophy. I felt I didn't deserve it, not today, any other day yes, but no, not today.

Lita P.O.V.

Dang, I wish I could of seen Mina's game. I felt bad, so I kept walking around Town Square. I am only suspended for 5 more days. I guess I could stop by to say Hi to Andrew and get some breakfast. I turned to corner to see Serena on the ground… crying. I felt a sudden erg to protect her and beat up whoever hurt her. I stopped my self before it was to late ,I forgot we were no longer friends. Then I witnessed Darien carry her away. Why would she go back to the guy who broke her heart, when she had Seiya? I turned back around, I lost my appetite.

Author P.O.V.

Lita turned around, she didn't see the whole picture. If she looked farther to the left, she would have seen a very angry Seiya hiding behind the lamppost…

Ray's P.O.V.

Do I really want to be leader? It would be like finally accepting Serena is not here. And I miss her. Why do I feel like I've forgotten something, O-well.

"Ray, get moving on your chores."

"Yes, Uncle."

I walked over to the calendar to see what today's list was. When I saw today's date, September 17th circled in pink twice. Inside was written, ' Ray's day off since it's Serena's Birthday'. I felt tears form in my eyes, I remembered she gave me the calendar for Christmas last year and the first thing she told me was on her birthday I have the day off to spend it with her no chores.

For the first time, in a long time, I decided to console with my heart. Serena I miss you so much. I know I yell at you a lot, and say I'm fit to be leader, but I'm not. You're the glue that holds us together, and you're the most powerful. I don't even measure up to a tenth of your strength. And you have never done me wrong, where for me it's been the other way around. I'm sorry I let you go, you were the best friend I had, even though you never knew it.

Flashback

I waited impatiently for Serena in the arcade. Where is SHE! I heard the bell ring announcing someone opened the door and so I looked up. I saw Serena slumped over and looked like she had been crying. Poor Serena, I know what will get her mind off what ever happened, I'll start a fight. "Hey Meatball head, what's the matter? Fail another math test?"

She looked hurt after that comment, I saw her start to whimper when she choked out, "No… I'm failing math. You happy? You finally proved I'm stupid!" She stormed out of the arcade with some tears still fresh on the tile.

I felt horrible. Wait… I knew what to do. I picked up the flyer from the lamppost, and stuffed it under my arm.

At night…

I hid behind the bush after I rang the doorbell. I saw Serena step out their front door and noticed an envelope underneath her feet. She slowly picked it up and read what it contained inside. She looked confused at first, and then she smiled. I started to smile too when I saw her return inside the house.

Tomorrow Afternoon….

Serena waltzed in the arcade gloating when she smirked at me at walked my way. " In your face Ray, I just got a 85 on the math test." I saw her turn around showing off the paper to Darien and Andrew.

I just waited there until I saw here leave the arcade. To know she got home safe I decided to follow her. I was confused when she turned into the park and looked up at the sky. "Thank you Guardian Angel for sending me that flyer, I never could of passed math without that help by that personal tutor this morning. I just wanted to make Ray proud of me…"

End of Flashback

I wanted to run back to her and apologize. But I knew what was done was done. I sat down in my beanbag and pulled out a picture frame underneath it. I hugged the picture of Serena and me at my birthday last year, when everything was normal …
