Who Is My True Love?
Chapter 2: A Meeting At Raye's
Serena was walking down the sidewalk on the way from school. She sighed. "What a relief, it's a good thing Ms. Haruna didn't assign us extra homework."
"Who are you talking to, meatball head?"
Serena turned her head. It was Darien Shields. "I'm not a meatball head!" Serena answered promptly. "And for your information, I'm definitely not talking to you."
Darien chuckled. "Yup. At the looks of it, you are a meatball head."
Serena growled. "I'm not a meatball head, you.you.dough-head!"
Darien cocked an eyebrow. "Dough-head? Is that the best you can say? Come on, that's the oldest one in the book."
"Just leave me alone, okay!" Serena said and turned away from him.
Darien noticed that her eyes were a bit glassy, so, he placed his hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong, Serena? Do you think my joke's not funny? Tell me."
Serena turned back around to face him, eyes filled with tears. "You just don't care about anything. Don't you care about that terrible dream I had? You just don't care about me. You probably only care about Ri-" she managed to say before she burst into more tears.
Darien put both his hands on her shoulders. "I don't only care about her, Serena. You know R-, well, I guess I won't say her name 'cause you'll start crying even more-"
Serena whimpered and started to cry more than ever from that remark. Darien tried to shush her so she wouldn't cause a scene. "Please, stop crying, Serena, okay, if it will make you happier, I love you more than Rini."
"Really?" she sniffed, wiping a tear from her eye.
"Really." he said, pulling her closer to him so he could kiss her. BEEP. Serena pulled away from him before they could kiss in surprise. The beeping was coming from her skirt pocket. She took out her pager and her smile curled into a slight frown. "Oh, I forgot! I needed to get to Raye's!"
"You mean to the Hikawa Temple?" Darien asked.
"Yeah." she answered him before racing down the sidewalk.
"See ya later, Serena!" Darien shouted, waving cheerfully behind her. He put his arm down, sighed, and shook his head. "Oh, that's Serena alright, that klutz."
* * * * *
Raye Hino sat next to Amy Anderson looking at the clock. "Gosh, where is that Serena? Is she late again?"
Amy brushed a strand of dark blue hair behind her ear. "Well, Raye, Serena is always like this, so, expect this kind of behavior from her."
Raye sighed heavily. "I was paging her for the last three hours!"
Amy glanced at the black cat, Luna. "Well, she is Serena.."
Luna yawned. "That's right, Raye, Serena will be Serena."
The paper and wood door slid open a bit. Amy could see that someone was peeking through. Raye immediately rushed over to the door and slid it wide open. It was Chad.
"Go away, Chad! Don't you have to sweep the front steps?" Raye yelled.
"Well, I wanted to see what was goin' on." the ex-rock star answered.
"You were trying to spy on us?!"
Chad touched the back of his shoulder-length untidy dark brown hair. "Uh, well, you see-"
"That's it, Chad, stop bothering me and go finish your chores!"
"What's all the yelling about?"
Chad turned. It was a short bald headed man, which, happened to be Raye's grandfather.
"Chad's been eavesdropping on us, Grandpa!"
Grandpa raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you supposed to be sweeping the front steps, Chad?"
"Well, um, I, uh.I was getting the broom." Chad answered.
Grandpa sighed. "If you're going to be my apprentice, you need to do your chores."
"Okay, I'm on it, dude, chill already."
Grandpa watched as Chad left. He grinned and stepped at the foot of the door. "Keep this in mind, Amy, if you ever want to work here at the Hikawa Temple feel free to go right ahead. I have plenty of room for more recruits!"
Amy forced a smile. "Uh, I'll be sure to think about it."
Raye began to push Grandpa away. "Okay, Grandpa, you can go now."
She slid the door close. Amy sighed. Raye took out a light blue ribbon and tied her long black hair with it. "Now, where is that Serena?"
"Well, if I know Serena, she's probably at the Crown Arcade." Luna said looking at the clock.
* * * * *
Serena rushed into her house, which, it didn't surprise her mother, Mrs. Tsukino. Serena began to run toward the stairs. Mrs. Tsukino looked at her. "So, how was your day?" she asked, drying her hands with a pink cloth.
Serena ran upstairs. "It was fine, Mom!"
Mrs. Tsukino sighed. "Oh, that Serena."
Serena immediately threw her backpack in her room and ran back downstairs. She rushed back out the door. "Bye, Mom, I'm going to Raye's!"
"Be back by dinner, Serena!" Mrs. Tsukino yelled out the door.
Serena was running so hard she could even feel her heart pound against her chest. "I'm late! Raye's gonna kill me!"
She ran up the long stairs of the Hikawa Temple, panting along the way. She raced past Chad who stopped sweeping to stare at her as she ran inside.
Finally, panting very heavily, she slid open the door. But as usual, she wasn't greeted with a "Hello". Raye had her hands on her hips. She looked really pissed. "You were late again!" she yelled angrily. She crossed her arms. She was getting really tired of Serena always being late. "What is your excuse this time?"
"Well, I was talking to Darien." Serena answered. "And why do you complain about me being late while Lita and Mina aren't even here?"
Raye rolled her eyes. "They called us and told us that they couldn't make it. And to save your breath, Lita's cleaning up the house and Mina volunteered to help out the elementary school again. Well, at least they're never late as much as you when you get here."
Luna got up. "Girls, this is no time to argue! All of this is about Serena's dream, we're not here to hear you two bickering!"
Amy looked at Raye. "Luna's right, Raye, Serena's usually late so believe it or not, you have to get used to it. Now, Serena, tell us about your dream."
Serena started out her story telling them about the man that looked like Prince Diamond. She couldn't imagine that she could remember that much of her dream.
"Prince Diamond? But isn't he.dead?" Raye said weakly. She sort of felt sorry for him. Well, she knew getting revenge on earth just because they were exiled was still wrong.
Serena's mind was lost in space, but a thought struck her. She remembered that fateful day with Prince Diamond. She had him in her arms after he had just saved her life from Wiseman. "You saved my life," she remembered herself say.
"What more could I do? You helped me see through Wiseman's evil plot." he said and smiled weakly. Serena smiled back.
How could someone from the Negamoon save her life? She just couldn't understand. Was there really some good in him?
Prince Diamond looked away. "All I ever wanted was for my people to live on earth. What was wrong with that? I couldn't understand why they exiled us. But I always wanted to get revenge."
Serena was confused. "Why did you come to earth in the first place?"
Prince Diamond looked back to face her. "When I was still young, I admired the beauty that earth had, the love, the happiness. Then, I met Wiseman and on that they forward I was influenced on him. But, now, everything turned out as a disaster. He was actually using me."
Serena's eyes turned sincere. "If you were exiled, couldn't you just ask to stay? It's better than to get revenge."
Prince Diamond sighed. "If only we could. We tried many times, but still they refused."
"Maybe you could ask again, they might've changed their minds."
"Would they really let us stay?"
"Of course they would."
"If only it wasn't too late."
Serena looked over him and saw that he was bleeding. "Diamond, you're hurt we need to take you to the hospital."
Prince Diamond shook his head as if not accepting life, but his fate. "Never in me life has anyone cared this much about me.the hospital can't help me now."
"What do you mean?"
He sighed. "I'll be joining my brother Sapphire soon.."
Serena felt like crying. "You can't go, Diamond, I won't let you. You're going to be okay-you just gotta."
By these words, tears were running down her face. Prince Diamond wiped the tears from her eyes. "You cry for me? No one has ever done that for me, Serena."
Serena's eyes widened. "You know my name?"
He nodded. "Ever since I found out, I couldn't stop thinking about you. But I have failed to defeat Wiseman. Please, avenge my and my brother's death. Stop Wiseman from ruining other lives. Please."
Serena nodded but whimpered, "Diamond."
Prince Diamond had a weak smile and he touched her cheek. "Sailor Moon, sorry I lied, I really did love you."
Then, he was no longer conscious. He was.gone. Serena began to sob.
"Earth to Serena."
Serena's thoughts were cut off as Raye waved her hand in front of her face. "Hey, Serena, where were you? In outer space?"
Serena looked at the clock. "Oh, my mom told me to be home by dinner, and it's getting pretty late, so, Luna and I better go."`
"Okay, I'll tell you what I got tomorrow."
Serena waved good-bye and walked out the door. Luna looked at Serena. "What were you thinking about back there?"
Serena tried to look casual. "Oh, nothing that concerns my dream."
Luna looked at her curiously, but said nothing. Maybe Serena would understand more about her dream soon. Real soon.
