Blood Bond With Love 13
_____________________
Amy, Rey, Lita and Mina were at a restaurant where Lizzie works. (If someone knows the name of the place can they please tell me, thanks) They had called Serena that same morning and asked her to meet them there. It had been two days since she'd told them about her past. And they'd heard nothing from her since then.
A blonde with her hair tied in odangos appeared at the door. She looked around until she saw Lita waving her hand at her. She smiled at her and walked over to her four best friends.
"Hi" Said Serena timidly. Her legs felt like collapsing again.
"Hi Serena! How's everything?" Asked Mina in her usual cheerfulness.
"Fine, so what's up?"
"Well you ran off so fast the other day we didn't get a chance to talk" Said Rey in a reproaching tone.
"I'm sorry. I just. I shouldn't have done that"
"It's ok, we understand. That's why we wanted to see you" Mina put a hand on Serena's shoulder.
"We just wanted you to know that we understand and that we still love you"
Serena smiled, a full watermelon smile.
"Do you mean that?" The blonde's voice started to crack.
"Of course silly, we're your friends and we're here for you just like you were there for us!" Said Amy.
"You guys are great" Now Serena had small tears running down her cheeks.
"Aww Serena" They said in unison.
Rey who was beside her held her in a hug while Mina rubbed her back.
"It's ok we understand. But why didn't you tell us before now?" Asked Amy softly.
"I was afraid, aside from Faith I had never had close friends. I mean I had friends but none that I could really call 'Best friends'. After we all met, I still had my doubts that you would even like me. But with time I started to see you as part of my family and then I became so afraid that you wouldn't want me around because of. where I come from"
"And what gave you such a silly idea?" Asked Lita.
"Before, when I first moved here with Ken and Ikuko, people asked me why my last name was different, when I told them why, they rejected me. They thought I was a weirdo or something. That's when we decided to switch the last names so Tsukino would go first. And I was afraid you would reject me because of my past"
"It's not like it's a terrible thing!"
"No, but I did live in the streets and have foster parents that's not exactly what mothers would approve as been a good 'friend' candidate"
The girls nodded, they all understood what she meant. They had all been alone before. All knew what not being 'friend' candidates was like. Lita with all of her changing schools and orphan had been in exile. Rey had been seen as 'the freaky priestess from the temple'. Amy had been rejected because of her grades and Mina had never had time to hang out with other people so she ended up alone. They all knew what it was like.
"Well you are a great friend Serena" Said Mina smiling.
"Thanks everyone. You're all so great"
After each of the girls gave Serena a hug. The girls continued chatting as Lizzie dropped by with their third serving of sodas.
"So you brother is arriving in three days isn't he?" Asked Lizzie as she gave them their sodas.
"Yes he is! Can't wait to see him"
"I can imagine. Upps, I gotta go. People are arriving" With that the red haired girl walked away. Leaving five very happy and chatty girls behind.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
Serena sat on a bench at the airport. Her hands fidgeting more and more with every passing second until Darien covered her hand with his.
"It's normal for planes to be a bit late"
"I know"
"You must really be anxious to see him" Said Rini as she sat beside/on Darien. The girl who had currently been sitting on his lap had half moved back to her seat as Serena eyed her dangerously.
"I can't wait to see him, he's going to go nuts when he sees Rini"
"Does he know that."
"Yeah he knows. I told him, that's why he wants to see her so badly"
"So he knows I'm your daughter of the future?" Asked Rini surprised.
"Yep, he almost had a heart attack when I told him, but he recovered" She giggled at the memory telling William about her future daughter. Right after she finished, she'd heard something fall on the other end, followed by Will's curses. Her giggles turned into laughter and Rini turned to look at her as if she was crazy.
"Darien you're free to get me a new mommy any time you know"
She teased. But the blonde didn't take it as teasing instead she stopped laughing and started to try and strangle the pink haired girl. While leaning into Darien, the black haired man's face had turned various shades of red. Just then a door opened and passengers began to walk in.
Serena stopped to search each face, looking for her brother. Just then a blonde man with curly dark blonde hair, icy blue eyes, black shirt and jeans stepped through the door. He was carrying a black bag and a brown suitcase over his shoulder. And holding a leather jacket with the other. Serena's smile grew wide and in a half a second she was up and running to the man. The man who had been looking around saw the blonde girl. Dropping his bags and jacket he stepped closer to meet her halfway in a huge bear hug. He picked her up and swing her around a couple of times before finally putting her down.
Serena still didn't let him go. She helped him with his things and put an arm behind his waist. William was Darien's size, so Serena had to look up to see his face.
"So glad you're here!"
"I'm glad too Bunny"
They walked over to where Darien and Rini were standing. Both of them smiling politely at him. William offered the younger man a handshake. Darien was a bit surprised at how much Serena resembled him.
"You must be Darien, I've heard quite a lot bout you" Said William, his street- British accent impressing Darien. Will smiled as Darien shook his hand.
"Yes I am, glad to finally meet you"
"Oh but you haven't met me yet mate" Said William, a cocky grin on his face.
"Oh Will, don't be rude" Scolded the blond beside him. William turned to look at the small pink haired girl beside Darien. He knelt down so he could be at eye level with her.
"Why you do look a lot like mommy don't ya?"
Serena and Darien blushed but the older man was too busy examining the girl to notice.
"That's what I've heard," She answered sheepishly.
William smirked; the kid had something to her. She didn't have Serena's fire but she had something all right.
"You do, hopefully more of her than of someone elsss.ouch!"
Serena stepped on his foot. She didn't want any rude comments coming from his mouth today. He looked up and met with his sister's baby blue eyes. He saw the warning look in them and decided to keep his mouth shut, until they got to the car that is.
They walked to the parking lot. Darien helped William with his bags, while Serena talked to him.
"So where's our ride?" Asked the blonde man.
"Right there" Said Darien, he pointed at a red sports car.
"Classy, yours?"
"Yeah" Was Darien's only response.
William gave Serena a look. She rolled her eyes and walked closer to Darien to help him put the bags on the trunk.
"So your Serena's big brother?" Asked Rini as they waited on the side.
"Yes I am. And you're her future daughter?"
"So I'm told"
"Aw, you don't sound happy bout it"
"I'm not my mommy from the future is nothing like her" She informed him. He nodded at the child.
"Well she's younger," He said softly.
"She's clumsy"
"She's caring"
"She gets bad grades"
"She tries"
"She's not a lady"
"Then what is she a camel?"
Rini giggled, he was funny. But William wasn't joking, it seemed that this girl had to idea who her mother was. It looked to him as if the girl though she'd become all graceful magically. Serena and Darien came back, a huge smile on her face.
"We're all ready to go" She said, she opened the door and sat on the seat beside Darien's.
This disturbed William, he wasn't trying to be overprotective but this all seem so serious. Last time he'd checked she had just turned 16 an age full of dreams and wonders. And now months later she had a future daughter and husband. She looked so grown up now. It truly scared him. Everyone was in the car by the time he snapped out of his thoughts. He wasted no time on getting on himself, the car started and off they went.
&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^
The car pulled over in front of a set of stairs on a hill. William looked up at the many stairs of the place. This looked like the kind of place his dad would deeply enjoy. He sighed as he got out of the car. Darien handed him his bags.
"Like it?" Asked Serena.
"It's big"
"I know."
"Dad will love it"
She smiled.
"Yeah he will"
William turned around.
"Thanks for the ride mate" Said William as he shook Darien's hand.
"Don't mention it" Said Darien.
"And you missy, nice to meet you" He told Rini.
"It was very nice to meet you," She said, remembering her princess manners she did a small curtsy. William laughed; he kissed the girl's forehead. He may not be crazy about the girl but she was his niece.
"Are you coming Serena?"
"No, I'll help Will unpack. Could you bring Rini home, please Darien?"
"Sure"
"Thanks, and Rini will you tell mom I'll be a bit late?"
"Ok, but don't be too late" Said the girl.
"I won't"
Serena gave Darien a peck on the cheek, Rini jumped into his arms and he carried her over to the car. They waved goodbye and the car took off. Serena found William looking strangely at her.
"What?" She asked, a bit annoyed.
"What?" He repeated and grabbed his bags.
"Will what?"
"When did you turn into a mother?"
Serena blushed.
"I'm not"
"Yes you are. You seat at the front as if you were his wife and Rini your daughter!"
"It has nothing to do with that, and what if I did it. They are or at least will be!"
"Will be!! Serena you're 16 years old. Your not suppose to be taking adult responsibilities. Least of all playing the mother!"
"I'm not!"
"Are you still dancing?"
She turned around and started climbing the stairs. He snatched her arm stopping her.
"What?" she asked.
"Are you still dancing?"
"Sometimes"
"Meaning?"
"Sometimes all right!"
"It was your dream!"
"Dreams change"
"To what?"
"To others!"
"Serena please" He begged, his voice just above a whisper.
"I do. sometimes. They don't know it though"
"What is your dream now?"
"They are." She looked at the road in which Darien's car had just left.
"To have a happy family. To be able to love them like mommy and daddy loved us"
"Serena."
"Please don't, please. We'll discuss this later" Tears were forming in her eyes and he agreed to wait. They walked up the stairs in complete silence. Serena thinking about his words.
'Have I lost myself? Have I lost my fire? Why did my dreams change?'
@@@@@~~~~~~~~~~~~@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Hehe, like it? Do you think she's lost herself? Well I was doing some serious thinking (I know wow me thinking!) But, ok people, think. Serena has to protect Darien and Rini all the time, and she has to play mom sometimes. And don't tell me her only dream is to be a bride; I mean everyone wants that. well most people. But was there ever something she really wanted to be?" And her friends really love Serena, I'm trying to keep it as real as possible. At least in the way they would react. THANKS everyone for reviewing, your all great!!!!!! You really are. Please don't forget to tell me what you think. It helps me a lot! ^.^
