Chapter 28

First day on the job

Hey guys I'm so glad my computer is working again. Hope you like this one. I spent a lot of time on it. Enjoy!

I DON'T OWN SAILOR MOON!

Serena walked down a path of white and red roses. As she looked around she saw all her family members. What the hell was going? Did they find her? Wait why are they smiling? As she walked further up the rose covered ale she saw people standing at the end of it. There were four girls and 5 guys. When she got closer she recognized the women as her friends and the men as Darien and his friends. Ok now this is getting interesting. Serena ran up to her friends.

"Guys what's going on? Why are my parents here? Did they find me?" Serena asked. The girls looked at each other and laughed.

"Sere of course they found you" Said Raye. "They wouldn't miss your wedding"

"What! I'm getting married! To who" Screamed Serena.

"Well why don't you turn around and see" Entered a voice from behind Serena. She slowly turned around to see Darien standing behind her.

"Darien…" Darien just smiled and took her hands into his.

"Come on Sere lets get married" Said Darien pulling her to the rose covered alter. Serena was stunned to say the least. Was this really real, were her and Darien about to get married. But wait what about Jeff and her lying to him about who she really was.

"Darien before we get married have something to tell you. I'm not who you think I am" Said Serena. Darien pulled Serena into his chest. Serena smelled his colon. It smelled of broses like the rest of this place did. Where was she anyway?

"Serena I know everything. I think you are so brave. That's why I'm marrying you, for your beauty, brains, and your courage." Darien kissed her on her forehead. "Serena I-" The alarm clock shrilled into Serena's ear as it flashed 9:00am.

"Mmm…" Serena moaned into her pillow. "Just a little longer" she rolled over and hit the snooze button on the alarm clock. "Now back to my wedding" As she slipped back into her dream the hotel phone rang. "No, no, no" She beat her hand into her pillow. "I'm getting married to Darien". She rolled off the bed and answered the phone.

"What!" Serena yelled into the phone.

"Whoa Sere what's got your panties in a bunch" Said Raye into the phone. Serena ran a hand through her messy blonde locks and sat back onto her bed.

"Sorry Raye. I was having this really great dream and everything kept taking me out of it" Apologized Serena.

"Ha! Sorry. Anyways be ready 30mins"

"Why?"

"Because we have to go to work today and I decide to come and pick you up"

"Oh gosh I totally forgot that I start today" Serena slapped herself on her forehead.

"Yeah, yeah just be ready. You now have 26 minutes."

"Your not really a morning person are you Raye"

"25 minutes"

"Ok I'm going, I'm going" Serena hung up the phone. She had really forgotten that she had work today.

Serena put the last touches on her make-up when she heard a knock at the door.

"Coming" Serena yelled. She ran over to the door and looked through the peep hole. She saw Raye standing there with her hand on her hip tapping her right foot. She wore a black pants suit. Her make-up was modest. She looked fine until Serena saw her hair. It was in a messy bun. Raye pounded on the door again. Serena didn't know that she had left Rayed standing there while she 'checked her out'. Serena opened the door.

"Nice outfit. What took you so long?" Raye asked annoyed. Serena snickered. Serena wore a black skirt suit.

"Sorry." Serena led Raye into the living room.

"Are you ready yet?"

"Yeah I'm ready, but the question is are you ready? Your hair looks like you got out of bed and didn't want to do anything with it"

"Does it really look that bad? I woke up with a little hang over."
"Its ok Raye, if you want to wear your hair like that go ahead"

"Whatever. We need to go we're already late"

"Hold on let me get my shoes and purse."

Serena and Raye walked out to her car. She didn't drive her red mustang. Today she drove her black Lamborghini Diablo. When Serena saw it her jaw dropped. Raye laughed at her friend's face.

"Hey sere you dropped something." Serena looked on the ground trying to search for whatever she had supposedly dropped.

"What?'

"Your face. I suggest you pick it up before it gets dirty." Raye laughed. Serena gave her a smug look.

"Ha ha you're so funny" mocked Serena. "Seriously though Raye you have some wicked cars"

"What can I say I like cars" Raye opened the car door and dropped in. "If you want to borrow one just ask"

"And how many do you have?" Serena asked dropping into the passenger seat.

"About 60" Said Raye casually.

"What!" Serena Exclaimed. "How do you fit them all into your garage?" Raye sped through the streets of L.A.

"I turned my basement into a garage" Raye said while cutting a white van off.

"Raye don't you think you should slow down a little. Your going to get a speeding ticket" Said Serena holding onto her seat for dear life. Raye giggled.

"Serena even if the police did spot me they wouldn't have a chance in hell of catching me" Raye pushed her foot harder on the accelerator. "And besides we're late for work because of you"

"But Raye you're the boss you can be late if you want. Nobody's going to fire you" said Serena as she tightened her grip on the seat.

"Serena what would I look like if I walked into work late because I didn't want to get up. Just because I'm the boss doesn't mean that I get to come in late. I work just like the rest of my employees. I'm trying to set an example for them. If I come in late then my employees start coming in late" Serena didn't know what to say.

"Anyways did you have fun last night?" Raye asked.

"Of course I did. I loved hanging out with the FAB 5"

"Speaking of the FAB 5 did Darien ever call you" Raye asked with a smirk on her face. Serena gasped she a totally forgot to tell Raye about her lunch date with Darien.

"Actually he called me last night or should I say morning. It was like 3:00 when I got in"

"Well, don't keep me in suspense all day did he ask you out or what?"

"We talked for a while he asked what my favorite color was…" Raye rolled her eyes and looked at Serena. She just smiled.

"Then he asked me if I wanted to go to lunch with him!"

"YEEEAA! So are you going to go?" Raye asked as she drove up to a tall high rise building.

"Well, that's the thing I was going to ask you first since is my first day on the job" Raye got out as a man walked up to the car. Serena followed Raye.

"Good morning Miss, Hino" Said a man who looked about 40 in a red and gold suit.

"Hi Jessie this is Serena Clark. She's our new Editor and Chief." Raye said gesturing to Serena.

"Well Hello Miss, Clark. You're going to like it here." Said Jessie.

"Thank you Mr.…." Serena Said trying to figure out what to call him besides Jessie.

"Hamford, Jessie Hamford. But you call just call me Jessie"

"Thank you Jessie"

"Can you park it close. Serena is going out to lunch later and will need the car" Said Raye. Jessie nodded. She turned to Serena. "You do have your driver license right"

Serena nodded. Raye smiled at her a walked towards the building. She was stunned she could only stand there.

"Well aren't you coming it won't do you any good standing on the sidewalk" Raye Said holding the door open for her. Serena ran after her.

"Raye you can't give me your car. I'll just take a taxi" Said Serena.

"Good morning Miss, Hino" Said the clerk at the front desk.

"Good morning Patricia" Raye Smiled at the young woman.

"Good morning" Serena greeted to the receptionist. Raye pressed the button for the elevator.

"Raye!" Serena exclaimed. There was a 'ding' and the elevator doors opened and Raye and Serena stepped in. "Raye answer me!"

"Serena remember when I said you could borrow one of my cars if you wanted. Well this is one of those times" Raye pressed the button for the 9 floor.

"But Raye-" Raye put her hand over Serena's mouth.

"Sere I love I really do, but if you keep complaining like you do I'll going to have to kill you. Got it" Serena nodded. "Good. Now put a smile on because we're about to enter the fashion world." Serena gave her a confuse look. There was another 'ding' and the elevator doors opened up to the 9th floor. Serena was met with an amusing sight. Papers and clothes alike were being flung everywhere. Phones were ringing off the hook and people were running to get them. Raye walked into the chaotic mess. Serena didn't know what to do. She didn't know whether to follow Raye or run for her life.

"Come on Sere don't dilly-dally" Raye yelled. Serena picked her face from off the floor 'again' and followed Raye. She led her through a series of twist and turns and more people running around with clothes and papers. Finally Raye stopped in front of a door. On the door it read: Serena Clark Editor and Chief. Raye smiled and opened the door. When she did Serena smiled. It was a lobby type room with a secretary desk. And right beside the desk was another door. Serena knew what was behind the other door….Her office. The room had big windows. Next to the door they had just walked in there was a few lounging chairs. On the desk were a flat Screen computer and a phone. She also could see that they desk already had personal touches done to it like pictures and other office things.

"This is the waiting lounge. Your secretary is down stairs getting briefed on a couple of things." Serena just nodded she was falling in love with half her office already. Raye saw this and walked over to the next door. "Do you want to see what's behind door number two?" Serena giggled and bounced over to Raye. Raye opened the door and Serena's breath caught in her throat. She walked into her spacious office. There was a large desk in the middle on the room with a flat screen computer and a phone on it. Behind the desk was a large bookshelf behind it filled with the company's magazine? On the other wall was shelf labeled competition which was filled with every magazine you could think of. Serena walked over to her desk and sat in the chair. Raye sat in the chair that was sitting on front the desk.

"So how do you like it? I mean it could use your homey touches to it…" Serena giggled and put her feet on top of the desk.

"I could get use to this." Serena laughed.

"You're such a goof ball" Raye laughed. Serena leaned back in her chair.

"Raye with an office and a job like this…Ahhh I can't wait for them find me so I can rub this in their faces." Raye smiled at her friend's happiness.

"Don't get too cocky Sere. Don't think that just because I'm your friend that I'm going to go easy on you" Said Raye.

"Aww Raye don't ruin it for me. I want to live in this moment for ever" Serena pun around in her chair. "I wish that they would come walking through this door right now" Raye laughed at her childish ways. There was a knock at the door.

"Come in" Said Serena still spinning joyfully in her chair. A women that looked a little older then Raye and Serena walked in.

"Hi" Said Raye.

"Hi, you must be Serena Clark I'm your secretary, Grace" Said the woman went to shake Raye's hand.

"Its nice to meet you Grace, but I'm not Serena." She pointed towards Serena who had started to slow down her spinning. "That's Serena"

"Oh...Hello I'm Grace your secretary." Said Grace.

"Hi I'm Serena Clark" Serena got up to shake her hand, but since she had been just spinning she felt kind of dizzy. She tried to walk straight but ended up tripping and falling.

"Ouch…"

"Serena are you ok" Raye Asked as she rushed over to her friend.

"Well besides just taking a major blow to my pride. I'm peachy" Said Serena getting up with Raye's help.

"Sorry about that you must think I'm such a dork" Said Serena finally shaking Grace's hand.

"Don't worry Miss, Clark I've done worse" Grace said smiling.

"Well its both are first day here do you want to take a tour with me?"

"Sure that would be great" Grace Said.

"Do you want to join us Raye" Serena Asked.

"Sorry I can't I have to prepare for a meeting that's in 5mins. You were supposed to be there, but I'll tell them you were doing something else for me."

"Are you sure Raye?" Serena asked.

"Of course I'm the boss they can't say anything to me" Said Raye. "You have a great first day. I'll try and bring Amy by." She gave Serena a hug. "And Have a good lunch date with Darien" she whispered into her ear. Raye left the two standing in Serena's office.

"That was the boss?" Grace asked stunned. Serena nodded.

"So are you ready?"

"Yep let's go" Serena and Grace made their way out of Serena's office and began exploring the rest of the 'Rose' corporation.

Guys I wanted you to be the first to know what new story i'm working on its called Academy: kill or be killed. Here's the summary:

Universe Academy is the best all girl school in the world. Earth Academy is the best all boy school in the world. Only the rich and brightest get in. People would kill to get in these schools, but these academies aren't what meet the eye. Because in these academies are the best assassin groups in the world.

That's all I'm giving to you!
