Chapter two

Darien walked into the Crown Arcade, looking around to see how much it has changed, "Geez, Andrew, not up for change are ya?"

A blonde hair Man turned to see who called him and when he saw the owner of the voice he smiled and said "You weren't supposed to get back till next week." he walked out behind the counter and gave Darien a Manly hug. "Great to see ya! Nice of you to finally come back," he joked

"Yea well someone has to make sure, the world keeps turning," he laughed. "So you still make coffee here?"

"Of course, I will just get you a cup,"

Behind them the door opened with a swish and in walked four girls and one of them squealed, "Oh MY GOD, IT CAN'T BE," Darien turned and looked to see who was

Disturbing the peace of the arcade (well as peaceful as an arcade can be) and laughed, "You haven't changed a bit have you Rei," he said as the girls smothered him with hugs and kisses. Once they all retreated from attacking him he said "How have you girls been, I mean it has been five years, have you girls been like the rest of Japan and Americanized your names, or are they the same?"

"Well, they have changed their names but Rei and I didn't have to, because they were already changed enough." said Ami, sitting down at a chair. As Mina and Lita sat Down they announced their new names.

"Well, nice to know girls, because I may have looked stupid calling out Minako and Makato," he said with a laugh, "So I am going to go, I will see you are around.

"Girls, that was Surreal," Said Ami, looking at his retreating back,

"Yes, I suppose it was, wonder why he didn't ask about Serena?" Said Mina, waving at Andrew who was grinning back at her.

Meanwhile, Serena had to take a half day, she was going crazy, all morning she had the voice running through her head, up to the point she ran a red light. 'What is wrong with you Serena, why can't you get your head in the game? I think you should go for a walk.' So with that thought she put on her exercise clothes and shoe's and Left her hair out. In the park, she wandered around the many paths, looking at the forest, not feeling like a long walk today so instead sat by the lake staring out aimlessly at nothing. Ten minutes later someone sat down next to her, shocking her out of her trance of the mysterious voice.

"Fancy seeing you here, Madam Serena." Said a male voice, Serena turned to see who addressed her and found that it was Darien.

"Oh Hi, do you live around here?"

"Yes, I actually do, why aren't you at work I thought you had like a 430 till 1600 shift?"

"Oh, the psychiatrist said I had to stop for the day, kept hearing this one particular voice though my head, they considered me a danger so I kind of have the rest of the week off. Which will involve me trying to figure out why this voice is spooking me, all week." she said shaking her head.

"What is the voice saying?" he asked staying out to the water.

"Geez. Meatball head why you such a klutz, you will get no where in life." she said staying at her finger nails, "Just things like that."

Darien looked at her, real hard, "Do you mind me asking but do you have a Japanese name?"

"Yes I do, it is Usagi, I had to change it I kept getting teased when English was getting introduced." she sighed,

"Oh right," Darien had realized who it was, "So do you know who used to call you meatball head?"

"Mamoru, that jerk, he left, Japan you know, he told me he was going to write and everything but did he, NO!" she slammed her fist repetitively into the ground.

"Hey, Hey, stop that, no need for self harm, did he tell you where he was going?" he asked innocently,

"No, he just got a letter saying he got an internship in another country and that he was leaving didn't even tell me when, although we argued, we were still great friends, but I don't know why he didn't tell Me." she said staring out at the lake again,

"May be he couldn't handle saying good bye?" he said,

"No he is, I think, arrogant, but the only thing I really remember apart from the arguing, and the fact when he told me he was leaving he kissed me, and said the classic words, don't forget me, I will be back for you."

"Classic" Darien whispered, remembering it all for himself.

"Yea real nice of him, leaving a poor newly graduated high school girl, with that, real nice."

Darien looked at the girl; there was pain in her eyes, as if a he was a lost love. "You love him?"

"I don't know, I didn't have a chance to anyway, plus it wouldn't have worked, me and him being enemies but friends."

Darien wiped a tear from her cheek, and Serena wiped her face with a disgusted look on her face, "Damn it, showing weakness again, I can not believe it, I thought I had finished with crying over him, now I have to look forward to being the old cat lady because nothing could live up to that kiss." With that she got up and said, "Thanks for listening, but I have to go do something." and she left, running as fast as she could through to the Arcade.
