Attention to all new readers: PLEASE REVIEW EACH CHAPTER YOU READ AND GIVE ME YOUR AWESOME FEEBACK.
Recap:
Darien I still need to tell you my little secret." Serena said took Darien's hand and led him to the cherry blossom garden. It was mid March; the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
"So what is this secret?" he asked while they walked through the garden.
Chapter 6: The Unexpected Surprise
"Well… should I just blurt it out or should we play a guessing game?" Serena asked as they walked hand in hand. The cherry blossom's petals whirled around them with a simple breeze. The cherry blossom trees created an arch making it into a romantic, pink colored tunnel.
"Hmm… a guessing game sounds fun." Darien replied as he reached for a flower and put it into Serena's hair. She smiled and said.
"Okie doke, you have 10 tries. If you don't get the last one right, then I'll just tell you."
"Alright… let's see… you got into University of Tokyo?"
"Yes, I did get into University of Tokyo, Crossroads Junior College, and University of the Sacred Heart, Tokyo." Serena responded.
"Wow Serena! Those are really good schools, which one are you planning to choose?" Darien happily asked.
"I'm stuck on University Tokyo and University of the Sacred Heart," She answered,
"I'll help you choose depending what you want to major in," Darien assured, "What's in mind for your major anyways? The last time I asked you were unsure."
"Uhmm, I think either nursing or education," Serena responded.
"Aha, no wonder you're stuck. Sacred Heart is known for their education and language departments and Tokyo known for their medical, law, and science institutes," said Darien, "But I think you should side to University of Tokyo since it also has education and medical majors. You could always change it."
"Yeah, I was leaning toward Tokyo, anyways we need to get back on topic," Serena said.
"First I want to tell you something since we're talking about college," Darien mentioned.
"Oh what is it?"
"Well I was planning to open this letter with you last night..." Darien said pulling out a folded up envelope. "But I was so worried about you last night I completely forgot about it."
"What's that?" asked Serena.
"It's from University of Tokyo… for Medical School," Darien responded.
"It's for grad school right? Oh my gosh, Darien! We have to open it!" Serena said excitedly.
"I want you to open it," Darien said handing her the envelope. Serena unfolded the envelope to make it straight. She carefully started to open it. As she opened the envelope she threw it to Darien and started reading the letter.
"DARIEN!" Serena shouted, "Oh my gosh!"
"What did it say?" Darien asked.
"You didn't make it into Medical school…" Serena sadly said. Darien took the letter out of Serena's hand quick. Serena started to laugh, "JUST KIDDING LOVE!"
"Jeeze Serena! Almost gave me a heart attack! You know how important this is to me," Darien said.
"Sorry babe, it sounded fun to fool around with you," Serena said. They remained silent. Darien pretended to be angry with her. Darien couldn't stand the silence, so he spoke up.
"Aww Serena, I love you too much to be mad at you," Darien said and gave her a hug.
"Darien, we'll be going to the same college!" Serena exclaimed.
"Yeah," he said with a smile and gave her a quick peck on her soft, pink lips.
"Okay, okay, back to business buddy," said Serena, "So ask away!"
"Uhmm… you have an A in English and math?"
"Nope…. I actually got B+ in English, if I past the finals it would be an A. For math, I got a B-. Aha," Serena said.
Darien chuckled, "At least they're better than the grades you got in 8th grade,"
"Haha, that's so true Darien, I remember I threw that test paper at your head on accident."
"Aha, yeah, that was like the first or second time we met and your glorious nickname was dubbed, Meatball Head," Darien laughed.
"By the way, you got eight more questions," Serena said.
"Let's see…, you are madly in love with me?" He said with a sexy smile with an innocent expression on his face.
"I think that's a given. Jeeze, your ego is still the same." Serena gave him a nudge on the arm.
"Hey!" Darien said as Serena gave him the quick push. She giggled. The cherry blossom tunnel was about to end and in front of them was a black bench with rose bushed surrounding it. They took a seat. Serena rested her head on Darien's shoulder and sighed. Darien wrapped his arms around Serena's shoulder.
"What is your secret? Is it really big?"
"Yes. Now you have 7 more questions."
"You don't have a secret?"
"No silly, we wouldn't be playing this game. Now you have six."
"I got six left I thought I had 7 more?" asked Darien
"Nope you asked if I didn't have a secret," said Serena, "Okie doke, 6 more."
"Uhm, you had a weird dream about the future?"
"Nope…"
"I got 5 more right…?"
"Yup," Serena answered.
"I don't really know what you're keeping from me," said Darien with a little frustration.
"Want a hint?"
"Yeah…"
"Hint: present and Rini."
"Now and Rini? What?"
"Yes, now you got 4."
"Wait Serena… that didn't count!"
"Too bad," Serena stuck out her tongue at him.
"You know who the mysterious scouts are that arrived with Rini?"
"Nope. You got three more left."
"Uhm… You got a car?"
"Aha… no how is that suppose to deal with Rini?…Now there are 2 more guesses left…" Serena said nervously. They were 2 more questions closer until he finds out she was pregnant. She guessed it wasn't such a big deal, but it was. She was only 17 almost 18, but she is so young and has other things to worry about like college life. She didn't even know if she was ready for a baby and the future or not. It made her anxious since the future was so near…and senior year was almost over. She was also concerned if her parents disapprove they might put charges on Darien, and she doesn't want that.
"You can't believe school is almost over and that future is so near?"
"Yeah… but that still isn't my secret. Now you got one more."
"Another hint: I am blank?"
"You are uhmm…."
In Raye's bedroom
"Where is Serena and Darien?" asked Raye.
"Serena is trying to tell Darien she's pregnant," Lita said.
"She and Darien walked into the Sukura Garden." Amy replied.
"She hasn't told him yet?" said an astonished Mina.
"Yup, she said she's been cut off all night." Lita responded.
"Oh man," Mina sighed.
"Okay let's get started." Amy replied, "Alright, let's start with the basics. Two new mysterious scouts that are protected by the moon and the earth: Sailor Silver Moon and Sailor Crystal Moon. Both are types of Sailor Moons like Rini and arrived with her."
"Yeah… possibly they are also children of Serena and Darien?" Lita started, "Because who else would be a Sailor Moon besides an heir of Serena."
"True," said Amy, "But… what happens if they are not?"
"What do you mean?" asked Mina.
"Well… perhaps they are just posing as Sailor Moons so protect the royal family," Amy explained.
"Well Serena is pregnant now… that means she's going to have more than one kid?" Raye said with a raised eyebrow.
"Well it's possible. The older Serena couldn't tell us everything because the future would change," Amy spoke.
"Yeah…" Raye sighed, "OH! Remember Mina!"
"What?" asked a confused Mina.
"Remember we saw Darien bump into two girls when we were in the charms shop?" responded Raye.
"Oh yeah, I swear they looked exactly like the two scouts with Rini," said Mina.
"That could be possible, we should look for them this week," Amy said.
"Amy did the new Sailor Moons stay long enough to figure out who there are?" asked Lita.
"Let me check," Amy said while she was typing into her light blue, Mercury Computer, "Well according to my computer, it has no trace of who they are."
"Okay… did you get their images on you're Mercury visor?" Lita asked. Rini was quiet as a bunny and just looked out of the window. Raye and Mina noticed Rini wasn't herself today. Mina went to Raye's ear and whispered something to her. Meanwhile, Amy was searching for the new scouts.
"Hey… Rini knows something and she doesn't want to spill," Mina softly said to Raye's ear.
"I know, it's just like before when she wouldn't fess up," Raye whispered.
"Somehow we have to get to her, I have a feeling that the enemies are from the future," Mina gently said.
"Yeah," Amy replied. Then Amy and her computer got nothing.
"So they are from the future…because there is no other way," Lita said and looked at Rini, "Rini, please, if you are hiding something from us. Please tell us." Lita pleaded. Rini stared at Lita and looked away.
"Rini, please?" begged Mina.
"I can't tell you, I think it's best for them to tell you the truth." Rini responded, "Plus what is the point of finding who they are. The real concern is Serena and your new enemies."
"Rini, you're right," Amy agreed.
"Wow, your parents are amazing! They created such a smart kid!" exclaimed Mina.
"I think she gets it from Darien," exclaimed Raye. The girls laughed
"I can't believe Serena couldn't transform," Raye spoke.
"Maybe her pregnancy is stopping her," said Mina.
"I guess, but like there can be some way for her to fight and have the baby protected," said Raye.
"But Raye, it's too dangerous for Serena to engage in battle. She might loose the baby, or even get killed," Lita replied.
"Lita's right, she's very vulnerable right now," Amy agreed, "Maybe that's why what the enemy is after."
"So that means, no Sailor Moon," Mina started, "I think we need a boot camp, without Sailor Moon and the Silver Crystal to aid us, now we have to protect ourselves."
"Yeah, but we have Rini and those new sailor scouts that claim to have their very own Silver Imperium crystal, so don't worry about it." Lita said.
"But Serena is the most powerful Sailor Moon out there!" Mina worried.
"Well the Moon Princess Trio is probably 5 times more powerful than Sailor Moon since they are from the future," Amy butted in.
"You never know Ames if they are more powerful or not," said Mina.
"But maybe we should train more since we couldn't even take down that youma last night on our own. It's been awhile since something big has happened in the past two years. I say we're kind of out of it." Raye said.
"Alright, it's decided then," Amy started, "We're going to have combat training, search for those two girls, and whatever it takes to stop this evil."
"Wait we forgot to talk about something…"Rini mentioned.
"What is it?" the inner scouts asked the 14 year old girl.
"The enemies are from the Negaverse… I sure recall you guys battling them for the very first time at my age..." Rini replied.
"Oh shit… that totally slipped my mind..." said Raye.
"I think we should wait until the couple gets back," Amy insisted.
Serena and Darien
Darien was stumped; he didn't really know what was going on. Usually he sensed Serena's thoughts and feelings, but this time it's different and he couldn't put a finger on it. They sat there for awhile. Serena was waiting for Darien's last guess, she looked over to him. He was thinking really hard. He looked so cute puzzled with his eyes dark with no emotion just very concentrated, his hair falling into his eyes as he was bended over. Serena placed her hand on his thigh. She startled him.
"Darien… should I just tell you?" she asked.
"Now it's okay, it's pretty fun figuring it out on my own… if in five minutes I don't know and clearly clueless then you can tell me."
"Are you sure Darien?" Serena asked.
"Yeah," he simply answered and continued thinking. "Okay Darien… you're still stuck on what your girlfriend's secret is…Hmm think about what's been up with her lately: felt sick yesterday morning, fainting in the arcade café, and weird combining of food… hmm, wait those symptoms sound familiar…it can't be? Could it? Maybe I should say it..."
"I think I know your secret Serena…" Darien calmly said. Serena's eyes widened and said.
"So what do you think my secret is?" she asked.
"Are you….," he started; "pregnant?" said a relieved Darien.
"...Yes…" she smiled, "So what do you think?" Darien smiled back and stood up. He grabbed her hands to rise off of the bench and put her arms around his torso. Serena looked up lost in his mesmerizing eyes. He bent is head down toward Serena. Their faces were just inches apart until their lips met. He released the kiss and just smiled at her. They were still in their warm embrace. He was speechles.
"Serena, I don't know what to say but I'm happy that I finally get to know after all the guessing," He said, "I love you, Serena."
"I love you too," she said and they stood there for minutes, "I'm glad you didn't freak out and how you're handling it very calmly."
"Maybe just a little bit, but no matter what happens to us, I'm sure everything is going to be okay. I'm guessing the future is actually so close that I could feel the world alternating. Plus it wasn't really entirely your fault in getting pregnant," Darien chuckled and finally found the words to comfort Serena. And he thought, "Wow, I'm going to be dad sooner than I thought."
"Maybe we should start going back to the meeting, I bet they already finished and talked about everything already," Darien insisted.
"Okie doke," Serena agreed. They walked in hand in hand again back to Raye's room.
"So Serena, what are we going to do, how are we going to tell this to your family?" Darien nervously asked.
"I have no clue. My mom might be disappointed in me for not waiting, my dad is probably going to last out and try to strangle you, and Sammy is just going to laugh at me about getting knocked up," Serena answered.
"Do you think we should just tell them who we are? Maybe they're going to understand…?" Darien said.
"I guess, but that's a good idea…I'm just really scared to tell them…"
"Don't worry I'll be there and the scouts would probably be there with me also. You have us to count on," He calmly guaranteed, "We'll talk about it with the girls, k?"
"Okay," she said. The rest of the walk they were silent admiring the scenery. Darien simply glanced at Serena the whole way back. Once the reached the outside of Raye's room, Darien opened the glass, sliding door.
"Hey there you guys are!" Mina greeted. Serena and Darien walked toward to her and sat to her at the table.
"You guys been out for like over 45 minutes," Amy recalled. Serena and Darien smiled.
"Well, guess what you guys?" Serena asked eagerly.
"What?" they all asked.
"Darien finally knows!" she exclaimed. They all laughed and started talking about shopping for the baby and naming it.
"Girls, settle down we got to talk about the new scouts and the Negaverse…" Darien said trying to change the subject and get things on track.
"Well… we did research and talked about the mysterious moon scouts… we have no clue who they are because little miss keep-everything-to-herself won't tell us," Raye said.
"Well Raye, I can't tell you much because mom told me not to tell just yet…until…the enemy strikes 3 more times."
"Why is that?" asked Serena.
"Well, I don't know why, mom didn't exactly tell me why," Rini replied.
"Oh I see," Serena answered, "You guys… how you think I should tell my parents I'm pregnant?"
"My idea was to just tell them everything," said Darien.
"That's a good idea because if we wait until they see Serena at 4 months, they'll probably be mad at Serena for not telling them right away," Lita responded. Luna and Artemis walked in. Everyone looked at them for the answer.
"Do look at us; it's your guys' decision." Artemis said.
"I think we should tell them, we've been keeping this for so long, I think they would like an explanation about us disappearing a lot," replied Mina.
"I think Mina is right," Luna said, "I think it's time to tell your loved ones about this because we won't be able to when the future finally comes."
"How about we should tell my parents first over dinner this week, I guess," Serena said, "Or have a party with our families at my house."
"Perfect, that's a great idea Serena," Luna proclaimed.
"I'll mention it to my parents later tonight, k?" said Serena.
"Alright that's settled then," Amy said.
Serena looked at Raye's digital clock, "Hey you guys its almost 1:15, lets go out for lunch?" Everyone heard Serena's stomach growling. The girls laughed.
"Now, Serena's going to eat for two, Darien, I think you need to bring some extra cash," laughed Raye.
"You're right Raye," Darien chuckled as took out his wallet to see if I had money on him, "Where do you guys want to eat?"
"Let's go to the mall, there are a lot of selections there." Mina answered. They all agreed. They walked down the temple's steps and walked over the mini parking lot one block away. Mina, Raye, and Amy went inside of Lita's pastel green 2005 Toyota Camry with soft beige interior. While Serena and Rini entered Darien's silver, sports car with black leather interior, and awesome chrome rims. Darien started the engine and it roared. He led the way to the mall as Lita followed.
Darien's Car
"I can't believe I'm going to be a dad." Darien replied.
"Yeah… and I can't believe I'm going to be a mother," Serena mimicked Darien as she rubbed her stomach lightly.
"Hey Rini, are you okay back there? Do you want me to turn up the air conditioning or something?" asked Darien.
"Yes please," she politely said.
"I was wondering Rini," Serena started, "Am I pregnant with you?"
"No," she mumbled.
"Rini what did you say?" Serena asked.
"I said…no." Rini replied a little louder.
"No?" the couple said in confusion.
"Yeah, it's not me." Rini said.
"Then who is it?" Bunny asked.
"I can't tell you." Rini responded.
"Why?" they asked.
"Just because..." Rini said.
"So you're telling me you have older siblings?" Darien said.
Rini didn't answer.
"It's okay Rini; you don't have to tell me…" Darien said.
"I'm sorry dad, it's just I don't want to reveal too much," Rini said and continued, "Yes, I have older siblings."
"I understand," said Darien and dropped the subject.
"Darien we listen to the radio?" asked Serena.
"Sure, go ahead," Darien said and turned the radio on.
"... hit radio station HOT 95.1, here's a fresh download by Maroon 5:'Makes Me Wonder'!" said the male radio MC.
I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
(Yeah)
So this is goodbye
God damn, my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try (yeah)
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
I've been here before
One day a week
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
Cause..
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you and I...
and so this is goodbye
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you,
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah (x 3)
(Oh no)
"That was the new single by Maroon 5 after a 2 ½ year break since their hit song 'She will be loved' back in 2004. They are better than ever! The request line is open. So hit it up at 1-800-HOT-MUSIC or log on our Myspace page!" said the MC. "Carley just requested a song by the ultra sexy, Pussycat Dolls: I Don't Need a Man!"
I see you looking at me
Like I got something for you
And the way that you stare
Don't you dare
'Cause I'm not about to
Just give it on up to you
'Cause there are some things I won't do
And I'm not afraid to tell you
I don't ever want to leave you confused
The more you try
The less I bite
And I don't have to think it through
You know if I'm into you
I don't need a man to make it happen
I get off being free
I don't need a man to make me feel good
I get off doing my thing
I don't need a ring around my finger
To make me feel complete
So let me break it down
I can get off when you ain't around
Oh!
You know I got my own life
And I bought everything that's in it
So if you want to be with me
It ain't all about the bling you bringing
I want a love that's for real
And without that then no deal
And baby I don't need a hand
If it only wants to grab one thing
The more you try
The less I bite
And I don't have to think it through
You know if I'm feeling you (you)
I don't need a man to make it happen
I get off being free
I don't need a man to make me feel good
I get off doing my thing
I don't need a ring around my finger
To make me feel complete
So let me break it down
I can get off when you ain't around
Oh!
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Repeat 4X
I don't need a
I don't need a man, I don't
I don't need a man
I'll get me through
'Cause I know I'm fine
I feel brand new
I don't ...
Darien turned off the radio since they arrived at the mall and quickly parked close the food court. They got of their cars and walked into the food court.
Author's Notes: I had to end it here, this chapter became VERY long than I expected it to be. At least it would be a quick fix for those who's been waiting patiently for this new chapter. I think the next chapter might be up soon since I'm half way done with it. Hopefully you like the new chapter, sorry for the inconvience for updating so slowly. Well until the next chapter! Byee!
