Chapter 3

The next day, Serena woke up at around ten. She took a shower, got dressed, and left the apartment. She took a bus and heads toward Juuban's Hospital. When she arrives, she walks over to the elevator went to fifth floor, the oncology floor. As the elevator stops at the fifth floor and lets her out, she walks over to the nurses' station and asked for a Dr. Mizuno. The nurse proceeds to lead Serena to the doctor's office and knocks on the door. They waited for a response; a second later the nurse opens the office door.

"Dr. Mizuno, a Serena Moon wants to see you," the nurse said.

"Thank you, tell her to come in," Dr. Mizuno said.

The nurse nodded her head and shows Serena in. Afterwards, she left the room and closes the door.

"Miss Moon, hello! I didn't expect to see you so soon," Dr. Mizuno said. "I just got a call from Dr. Johnson two days ago, telling me that you are coming."

"Please call me Serena," Serena said. "I just got in yesterday afternoon. I thought I should check in early and get it over with."

"Well, then, why don't we start?" Dr. Mizuno gets up from her desk and walks towards the door. Soon after, Serena follows the doctor out the office. Walking down the hallway, Dr. Mizuno led her towards the x-ray room. An hour later, they are back in Dr. Mizuno's office and are looking at the x-rays and CAT scan that Serena took. They began discussing Serena's diagnosis and her condition.

"Nothing much has change ever since the last test that you have taken last month," Dr. Mizuno said. "But the tumor is still growing. We can't do anything to stop if from growing as radiation no longer works, but I'm going to give you the medications that you've been taken. So, we can try to slow down the growth of the tumor. Also, I'm going to give you some painkillers for the headaches."

"It doesn't matter if the growth slows down or not. One way or another, I'll still die," Serena replied solemnly. "Well, anyways, I have to go. I'm meeting some friends for lunch and I'm already late."

"I'll see you next month then," Dr. Mizuno said.

Serena nods her head and begins to head towards the door. She opens the door and was about to leave when something came to her mind.

"Are you by any chance Ami Mizuno's mother?" She asked.

"Hai, I am. Do you know her?" The doctor asked.

"Hai, we met yesterday, through an old friend of mine," Serena replied.

"I'm glad that you two are becoming friends," Dr. Mizuno said, giving Serena a heart warming smile.

"Me too! But can you keep this, my problem, a secret? I don't want anyone to know, besides you and my family," Serena asked.

"You don't have to worry about me telling anyone. It's a doctor's, patient's confidential," Dr. Mizuno said.

"Thank you," Serena said, giving the doctor a grateful smile. "Have a nice day, bye!"

With that she left the office.

Leaving the hospital and she once again hops on a bus and heads towards the park. When she arrives at the park, she was forty-five minutes late. Everyone has arrived and was waiting for her to come. Before Serena walks up to them, she puts on a happy face and walks toward them.

"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late," Serena said, walking up to the group and takes a seat next to Haruka.

"Serena! You're finally here," Hotaru exclaimed happily.

"Yeah, we thought that you wouldn't show," Rei said.

"Sorry, I had an appointment earlier," Serena explained.

"An appointment for a job?" Michiru asked.

"Uh, yeah, for a job," Serena stuttered out.

"Now that Usako's here, can we eat? I'm starving!" Haruka complained.

"Ok, let's eat!" Makoto exclaimed.

They all reaches for a plate and starts to pile food on their plates.

"So, what job did you applied for?" Ami asked, taking a bite out of a turkey sandwich.

"Um, piano teacher," Serena replied.

"Really? Did you get the job?" Setsuna asked.

"Of course she got the job. I mean c'mon now, if they didn't give her the job. Then they're all idiots," Haruka said.

"Thanks for you support Ruka. I did get the job," Serena replied.

"Congratulations!" They all said.

"Thank you," Serena said.

For the next two hours, they had a great time together. The played volleyball and Frisbee. They talked about the past and mentioning their embarrassing moments.

After the picnic, they all decided to go shopping. They shopped from store to store; everyone was having a good time except Serena. Walking for over two hours was tiring her out. She barely bought anything, while the others have more than four bags. Even Haruka bought more things than she did. When they reach a store called 'V-Generations', Serena told them that she was going to sit on the bench and wait for them.

"Hey, are you ok?" Haruka asked as she sits down next to Serena.

Everyone else had gone into the store, while the two sat there on the bench. 'V-Generations' is not the kind of store Haruka would like to buy her clothes in.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just kinda tired. I guess it's because of jet lag," Serena responded.

"Oh, ok," Haruka said.

That evening Serena got home around nine, all tired out. They were all planning to go to the movies, but Serena told them that she was tired and that she still had some unpacking to do. So, they had let her go home early.

When Serena got home, she immediately took a shower and changed into something comfortable. She then starts to unpack the things that were sitting in the living. About thirty minutes later, her phone rang.

"Hello?" Serena said into the phone.

"Serena, where were you today? I've been calling you all day!" The person on the other line said.

"Oh, hi mom! I was out with Ruka and her friends," Serena replied.

"You've found her already?" Mrs. Moon asked.

"Hai, mama. I saw her at the arcade yesterday when I went out to get something to eat."

"Well, I'm glad that you've found her. Now, tell me, how did the test go?"

"Same as usual. Still growing, can't stop it anymore. All they can do is give me medication and hope that it'll slow down the growth."

"Oh, baby, I'm so sorry."

"Its ok, mama. I knew it'll be the same. It doesn't bother me anymore, I've accepted it. You, papa, and Sammy should accept it as well. I was lucky enough to live this long."

"I know we should accept it, but we can't. You're getting worse every day and we're worried."

"So, how is everyone?" Serena asked, trying to change the subject.

"Everyone's fine, we're moving back a few days earlier than as planned. We also bought our old house back."

"That's good."

"Why don't you move in with us? I'm not secured with you living alone in that apartment of yours."

"Mama, we've gone over this before."

"But I don't like the idea of you living alone and with your condition."

"Sigh! I can take care of myself mama."

"I know you can, but I'm still worried."

Knock! Knock! Someone was at Serena's door.

"Mama, I have to go. Someone's at my door, I'll talk to you later."

"Fine, love you! Bye!"

"Love you too! Bye, mama!" Click

Serena puts the phone back into its cradle and head towards the front door. When she opens it, Haruka was standing there. She opens the door wider to let Haruka in.

"Hey! What are you doing here? I thought that you and the others were going to the movies," Serena said, taking a seat on the sofa.

"Well, after you left. Michiru, Setsuna, and I left also. The other five girls are at the movies right now," Haruka replied, taking a seat next to Serena.

"Oh! You want anything to drink? Tea? Water?" Serena asked.

"Tea would be fine."

Serena gets up and heads into the kitchen.

"So, where's Michiru and Setsuna?" Serena said from the kitchen.

"I dropped them off at home, and then drove around for a while. Minutes later, I ended up in front of your apartment building," Haruka replied.

"I see," was all Serena said, as she busies herself with getting out the cups and putting the teakettle on the stove.

Haruka was looking around the living room. There was nothing much to see, since Serena hasn't finished unpacking yet. There were still boxes laying around, waiting to be open and to be put in the right place. But something caught her eye as she looks around. It was the pictures that are sitting on the mantle, above the fireplace. There was four frames, one with Serena and her family, the second one is with a group of kids her age in their graduation gown, the third one was a picture of them, and the fourth one is Serena alone sitting in a wheelchair. Haruka picks up the fourth picture.

"What happen to you in this picture?" She asked.
