NOTE: To everyone out there who has read and enjoyed this story so far, thank you for your encouragement. I love writing for people and I love getting reviews so please keep them coming lol.

I apologies for the incident concerning Rini, it's been a rough day and I had to take my frustration out on something.

This next chapter is dedicated to a guy I like (whom of course has destroyed my day), who decided today to tell me that he has a new girl friend after rejecting me on the weekend.

Darien walked into the arcade and sat down on one of the red leather bar stools. His best friend Andrew, turn to face him and smiled.

"Hi there Darien" he said grinning his usual goofy grin. "I haven't seen you in here lately. I take it 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'" Andrew laughed at his own remark, a quote from a book called 'The Shining' by Stephen King.

Darien didn't know hat to say or do anymore. To his best friends shock, he started to cry.

"So you guys aren't together anymore?" Molly asked her best friend, trying to confirm the details.

Serena shook her head. Molly was such a good friend to her but she felt as if they where drifting apart. The only person Serena could find to blame for this was Sailor Moon. Because of her she could hardly spend any time with Molly because of the scout meetings and she could barely tell her everything.

"Wow that must be tough." Molly sympathized. "I couldn't begin to imagine my life without Melvin."

Serena's gut felt hollow. She had originally felt like she had done the right thing when she had left Darien but after Rini's accident she wasn't all that certain anymore.

"Maybe we should go shopping at my mums jeweler stop" Molly squealed. "I know how much you love that. And then after that we'll stop and have ice cream ok?"

"Not today Molly" Serena said weakly. "I have to get home"

Andrew cleaned up his best friend who he had now moved behind the counter. Andrew had never seen Darien like this before. Something bad must have really happened.

He sat down behind the counter next to his best friend not to sure what he should do. He was at work after all.

"Serena left me" Darien gasped, clutching his chest in the place where his heart was.

Andrew patted him on the back. "It's not that bad mate; there are other fish in the sea trust me. Look at me and Mina. When I first met her, I never though we'd be going out or being this serious, but we are. Life can change. Don't worry, you'll find someone else"

"It's not just that" Darien said in the same tone of voice. "Rini's in a coma. She may be a paraplegic"

Andrew didn't know what to say to comfort his best friend. This was a matter that he had never had to deal with before or had to comfort someone on. Instead he did the only thing he knew what to do; he patted his best friends back.

"She'll be ok" he said wanting to believe it himself. "Mark my work, that little girl will be ok. Give it a week or two and she'll be in her again playing all the arcade games or getting one of the girls to buy her a milkshake. I guarantee it"

Just as these words were spoken, the familiar ringing of bells rang though the arcade symbolizing that the door had been opened. In stepped a weary Serena. Slowly she dragged herself up to the counted, unconsciously sitting on the same seat that Darien had sat in. She slumped over and ordered herself a milk shake.

"Hey Serena what's wrong?" Andrew asked signaling for his best friend to stay low.

Darien didn't like this, not one bit, but if he was to find out what he had done wrong and how to fix it then this was his golden opportunity.

"What isn't wrong would be a better question" she sighed, drinking her milk shake.

"Well talk to me" Andrew said, leaning on the counter. "C'mon you know you can tell me"

Serena sighed again. "I left Darien and now Rini's in a coma because of me"

"Well" Andrew said "first things first, why did you leave him?"

"Because he doesn't love me" she said crying. "He's always to busy for me and I know that he has other girl friends I just know it. I'm just the naïve little girl that he has on the side. He's always studying and working and he never wants to spend any time with me. We're not even in a serious relationship Andrew! It's been weeks since he's even kissed me."

"I never knew she felt that way" Darien thought to himself. "I can't believe that she would think I have other girl friends. She knows that she's the only one for me. I knew I hadn't been spending enough time with her, I wish she would have just told me though. I should have treated her better; I'm always being so selfish"

"Maybe you should take him back then" Andrew said, trying to convince Serena to do what everyone knew was the right thing.

Serena shook her head. "Not if he doesn't love me. Besides, Mina is setting me up with one of her old boyfriends this weekend."

"I hope you have a good time then" Andrew said as Serena finished off her milkshake with one big slurp and got off her stood.

"I hope so too Andrew" she said quietly. "I hope so too"
