Chapter 6

Serena woke up about 10:00 the next morning. Being in no rush to get up, she stretched out and basked in a sun beam. She continued to bask until her stomach demanded food.

She made her way to the kitchen, to see what was for breakfast. She was greeted by a note on the table in her mom's handwriting: "Gone shopping. Thought you could use the extra sleep. Dad left this money for you. Some boy named Seiya called. See you after your movie. Love mom."

Serena went over and dialed Seiya's apartment phone number, only to be told that number was no longer in service.

"You could have left a phone number," she huffed as she put the phone down.

She warmed up a plate of pancakes that had been left for her. Followed by a nice relaxing soak in a bath, with no one telling her to hurry up.

Serena found her walk to meet the girls at the Crown peaceful and unrushed. She was looking forward to a few days like this.

"Just a tea," Serena smiled at Lizzy after she plunked herself down at her usual table, to wait for her friends to arrive.

"If I get anymore relaxed, I'll be back asleep before my movie," she said to herself.

"Then you'll start dreaming about me," Seiya whispered in her neck, when he snuck up behind her.

"You wish," she sneered.

Seiya came around and slid in next to her.

Serena slid over, leaving a big space between her and Seiya.

"My mom said you called, but you didn't leave your new number," Serena gave him, the you're so dumb look, the girls always gave her.

He reached over, took a napkin from the holder, a pen from his pocket and scribbled his name and number.

"Did you want to come see the new Sailor V movie with us?" Serena offered warmly.

"Seiya," Maliki called from the service counter.

"Another time," Seiya smiled. "Call me later," he pushed the written napkin closer to Serena, then went over to help Maliki carry out drinks.

Seiya gave Serena a big grin before he exited the restaurant.

Serena stuffed the napkin in her pocket, as Lizzy put her tea down. "Will there be anything else?" Lizzy inquired.

"Nope," Serena replied. "We'll probably come back after the movie."

Serena had finished her tea by the time her friends arrived.

"You've been here long enough for tea?" Lita questioned.

"I wanted a slow relaxing day, so I came early to have a tea," Serena said lazily.

"Well relaxing time is over," Rei spouted. "Let's get to the theater."

They weren't the only ones to arrive early. The line up for the movie was huge.

"I don't think we're going to see the matinee," Ami sighed. "We might have to buy tickets for a later show."

"Serena," Molly's voice carried over the crowd.

Serena started walking up towards the front of the line, where Molly's voice came from, while Molly walked down to meet Serena.

"Melvin's been here all night," Molly giggled to her friend. "He's saved us a spot. Get the others and come join us."

Serena ran back and told the girls what Melvin had done. The girls excitedly moved to the front of the line, they told Melvin he was nuts but thanked him anyway.

Molly and Melvin sat at the back, while the girls preferred the middle of the theater. Once their seats were chosen, Serena went and got the largest popcorn the theater sold.

After half an hour and three-quarters of a popcorn bucket, the lights finally went out. The girls, like everyone else went silent. During a scene where Sailor V was trying to sneak threw the mad scientist's house of wax horrors, a hand came down on Lita's shoulder.

Without a thought, Lita swung with a speed of a lightning bolt and connected with whoever was behind her.

"Most girls scream," Yaten's voice broke the silence of the theater.

Lita turned around in her seat and saw Yaten covering the side of his face.

"I think she split your lip," Taiki snickered.

"I'll get some ice," Lita sprung to her feet.

"It's his own fault," Taiki said still chuckling.

"Shhh," was said loudly by all those around them, including Rei and Serena.

Yaten made his way, with much fuss from the other people, to the end of his row. Mina of course had to run to his side. Lita was already exiting her row. The future doctor Ami was right behind them, Rei of course was angry at all of them for disturbing her in the first place. Serena was ignoring the whole situation, so she didn't miss anything important.

"They never came back," Serena noted when the movie ended and the theater lights came on. "Maybe we should go find them."

"Wait till the crowds thin out," Rei remarked, leaning back in her seat and placing her feet up on the back of the seat in front of her.

"He ruined our girls day," Serena huffed and reclined just like Rei.

Once Serena got herself comfortable, she asked Rei, "What did he want?"

"Definitely not a punch in the mouth," Rei chuckled.

"I wish Sikora's sparring ring was ready," Rei huffed. "I'd like to test it, Mars Sniper right to Yaten's ass," she laughed a little louder.

"I'm getting hungry," Serena commented.

"You ate the largest popcorn they sell," Rei scowled.

"That was way back at the beginning of the movie," Serena whined.

"I guess we should go," Rei let her feet fall to the floor and slowly pulled herself up to a standing position. "We'll stop at the Crown and feed you."

"Sounds like a plan," Serena chirped. "Think they're waiting for us outside?" she added and followed Rei.

Rei gave a lazy shrug.

"We thought you were never going to come out," Mina huffed angrily at Serena and Rei.

"We came to see a movie," Rei snapped. "The only thing that was getting me out of there, was a fire or the roof caving in."

"Now we're going to get something to eat and play a few games," Serena smiled and started walking away, with a little bounce in her step.

"Lets go pig out and curse at a few video games," Mina chirped and skipped off ahead of the others.

"Race yah," Lita bellowed and off she went.

"They'll order for us," Serena giggled. "When we get there are drinks will be waiting for us and food will be cooking."

Rei and Ami laughed.

"What took you so long?" Lita questioned.

"We know we can't out run you," Ami replied.

"What did you order?" Rei inquired, as they sat down.

"Mixed appetizers," Mina responded. "And here come our shakes."

"See, we didn't have to wait as long as you guys to get our shakes," Serena grinned and slid over one of the milkshakes Lizzy was putting on the table.

"How was your movie?" Lizzy questioned.

"It was great," Serena grinned.

"We have to go see it again," Mina sighed.

"You didn't have to leave with Yaten," Rei sneered.

"What happened?" Lizzy asked.

"Lita hit him, and split his lip," Ami told Lizzy.

"He shouldn't have snuck up on her," Serena smiled. "I don't think he'll ever make that mistake again."

"I didn't know anybody was stupid enough to sneak up on you," Lizzy chuckled at Lita.

"Now he knows," Rei smiled evilly.

"I'm hoping to go see the movie tomorrow," Lizzy mentioned. "So don't talk about it around me," she picked up her tray and headed back to the service are.

Rei and Serena told the other girls about the movie while they ate.

"Let's go destroy some video bad guys," Lita slammed her hand on the table, when she had eaten her fill.

"But there's still food," Serena stated.

"This is one fight you can take your time joining us," Ami smiled.

Lizzy came over to clean the other girls empty glasses.

"Aren't you going to play?" Lizzy asked Serena.

"I can't leave this good food," Serena answered and popped the last shrimp in her mouth.

"I couldn't imagine you leaving food if it was good or bad," Lizzy teased.

"Good afternoon," Maliki smiled to Serena as he and Sikora sat down across the aisle from Serena.

"Tea?" Lizzy turned to ask them, with her hands full of empties.

"Please," Sikora smiled.

"How's the move going?" Serena asked Sikora.

"Why don't you come join us," Maliki suggested and stood up.

"I don't want your chair," Serena said.

"I'll take one of those," she pointed at the empty seats.

Sikora and Maliki both gave a little laugh.

"What's so funny?" Serena inquired, as she came over to them, with milkshake in hand.

"A gentleman always stands when a lady joins his table," Maliki explained.

"I don't know any gentlemen," Serena giggled, then turned to Maliki. "I guess I do now."

"We have finished moving," Sikora told Serena when she sat down.

"Where are your friends?" Maliki asked.

"They went to start playing some games, I stayed to finish eating," Serena responded. "When I finish my shake I'll join them."

"How was your movie?" Sikora asked, as Lizzy placed their teas down.

"It was great," Serena declared. "I can't wait to see it again."

"Why would you see it again, if you have already seen it?" Maliki queried.

"Cause it's good," Serena grinned, then noisily sucked down the last of her shake.

"Would you like another?" Maliki asked and pointed at Serena's empty glass.

"No, thank you," Serena answered. "I have to go play some games," She smiled and stood up. "I'll let you have your tea."

Maliki stood up and slightly bowed his head. "Have a good evening then," he smiled back.

"You're doing another gentleman thing, aren't you?" Serena inquired.

"Yes," he chuckled.

"Serena, before you go," Sikora called to her. "I have to give you our new phone number."

"Seiya gave it to me earlier," Serena replied.

"Tell Seiya, I'll call him tonight. Or maybe tomorrow, it depends on how late we stay out," she smiled. "I have no plans for tomorrow, it might be easier to call him then. Anyway, I'm going to go play now. See you." Serena waved good-bye.

It was rather late when Serena got home. She had forgotten about calling Seiya, until she pulled the napkin out of her pocket when she undressed.

"I'll call you tomorrow," she smiled up at her Three Lights poster above her bed.

Then she looked across her room, to her picture of her and Darien: "And you will call me tomorrow."

She rolled over and turned her out her light.

Serena looked at her alarm clock when she awoke.

"10:30. Seiya must be up by now," she smiled to herself and went over to her phone. She lifted up the phone and retrieved the napkin she had placed under it.

"Hi, this is Serena," she said when she heard someone say hello on the other end..

"Hi, Serena it's Sikora," Sikora had responded.

"Getting settled in?" Serena questioned.

"Yes, Kakyuu and I have already started shopping for furniture," Sikora mentioned, and then with a hyperness in her voice she added: " We have a young lady here, who is showing us books of decorating ideas. We tell her what we like and she said she can do all the work and the shopping for us. Its wonderful, this type of service makes me feel like I'm at home."

"It makes me happy, that your feel at home here. This is your home for as long as you want." Serena told her, then took a deep breath. "I know you'll have to leave one day," she paused and took a long deep breath.

"We will miss you too," Sikora returned. "But we are only a blink away."

"Ami will miss having someone to talk to that understands her," Serena mentioned. "Mina will be heart broken," Serena giggled. "Once you start helping us train and practice our skills, Lita will miss you. She's afraid of hurting someone. She doesn't think she can hurt you, so she's looking forward to sparring with you."

"I will keep an eye out for that fast, powerful swing she has," Sikora giggled.

"She's really sorry about that," Serena sighed, apologetically.

"Don't apologize," Sikora ordered. "Yaten was in the wrong. I am impressed with her reflexes. Yaten has been told to make restitution for intruding on you girls."

A confused expression crosses Serena's face, she had no idea what Sikora was talking about.

"He doesn't have to do anything," Serena replied.

"Sorry Serena," Sikora said in a rather cold tone. "The decision was already made. You let me know which day you girls are going to see your movie and I'll lock the boys in the dungeon."

"A dungeon!" Serena shrieked.

"Okay," Sikora giggled. "I'll chain them up in the cellar."

Serena fell back on her bed, laughing hysterically. Even though she has dropped the phone, she could hear Sikora laughing.

"I'd like to see that," Serena continued to laugh, while retrieving the phone.

"Did you say something?" Sikora asked as she tried to get herself under control.

"I said, I'd like to see that," Serena laughed a little louder.

"Anytime," Sikora chuckled and took a deep breath. "I haven't laughed like this in a very long time," Sikora admitted.

After a few deep breaths, Sikora was able to control herself.

"I actually called to talk to Seiya," Serena mentioned. "But you're funnier."

"Seiya is busy anyway," Sikora told Serena.

"He gave me the new number yesterday, but we were out kind of late. I just thought I better call today so he didn't think I didn't...Ah...Didn't," Serena paused.

"Care," Sikora said sweetly.

"He's a good friend," Serena responded, but felt her face flush.

"I thought you had a boyfriend," Sikora gave a little snicker.

"Seiya's just a friend," Serena stated. "Darien is my boyfriend and he will be my king in the future."

"Where is he?, I haven't heard you speak of him," Sikora replied.

"He's gone to America to study," Serena sighed.

"I can tell by your voice, you miss him. I didn't mean to upset you," Sikora spoke softly.

"He's gone to further his education for our future," Serena said proudly.

"School is important to everyone's future," Sikora said.

"I know," Serena agreed. "Its just that some of the stuff they teach you, you'll never use."

"You may not use it now, but you may need it another day," Sikora told her. "Each generation passes on their knowledge, so those that follow can improve their selves and their way of life."

"I never thought about it that way." Serena admitted.

"My mom is calling me," Serena mentioned. "I think she wants help with dinner."

"She's passing on her cooking knowledge," Sikora giggled. "You got to learn."

"It was good talking to you," Serena said happily.

"Bye," Sikora replied.
