Chapter 17

The coming week brought Star and Mahak closer as they worked on songs together with Seiya, Taiki and Yaten checking on them from time to time. Serena made her way down to the studio one after noon and watched the two conversing with one another as they worked on their music.

"So you made it down this week." Seiya said walking up behind her as she watched.

"Yes, I thought I would come and see you as well." She said with a smile turning towards him. "So are you still thinking about him meaning harm?" Serena asked him looking deep into his eyes.

"I trust your judgment… if you believe that he's harmless then so do I?" He said looking though the glass and Serena smiled.

"Is that why you come down here to watch them every after noon?" Serena said with a giggle gaining Seiya's attention.

"How did you know about that?" Seiya asked her.

"Taiki told me when I called earlier today." She said turning towards the glass again then made a bold move and actually went into the room leaving Seiya shocked.

"Hi there you two how are you doing today?" Serena asked them as she went through the door.

"Serena… what are you doing here?" Star asked her as she pulled her hands off the key board. Mahak smiled at their guest inviting her to take a seat and join them.

"Seiya you can come in too." Mahak said looking at the door then seeing Seiya walk through the door. "Would you two like to work with us for a bit?" Mahak asked looking at Serena. Serena and Seiya looked at one another then back at Star and Mahak.

"Ah what could we do?" Serena asked.

"Well the both of you could help us out with lyrics…. I'm sure you got some ideas up there in that head of yours Serena." Mahak said to her causing her to blush.

"I'm not that musically talented Mahak." She said closing her eyes folding her arms.

"You shouldn't put yourself down like that." Seiya said to her. "I think he's right about you…" Seiya said smiling at her.

"Yeah Serena you have more than proven yourself." Star spoke up.

"You really think so?" Serena said looking at the three in the room.

After that they all stared to discuss a few songs Star and Mahak had just been working on Serena mostly listening to what they had to say.

"What are you thinking Serena?" Star asked as she noticed Serena's face out of the corner of her eye.

"Nothing really it's just that well…. If you don't mind could I share a few songs that I wrote a while ago….." Serena said walking over to the keyboard shocking them that she knew how to play. She started to play the music it was beautiful then she began to sing the words and all were in awe at them but Seiya couldn't help but think about them and there meaning… He knew that the song was about her and Darien but she did say that she wrote it a while ago meaning before he came into her life…

Deep in my soul,

a love so strong,

it takes control.

Now we both know.

The secrets bared,

The feelings shown.

Driven far apart,

I make a wish on a shooting star.

Chorus:

There will come a day,

Somewhere far away,

In your arms I'll stay,

My only love.

Even though you're gone,

Love will still live on,

The feeling is so strong,

My only love, my only love.

Repeat Chorus

There will come a day,

Somewhere far away,

In your arms I'll stay,

My only love.

You've reached the deepest part

of the secret in my heart,

I've known it from the start,

My only love, my only love.

When Serena finished the song her passion had been heard in the words and in her voice.

"Wow Serena that was very good how long ago did you write it?" Mahak asked her.

"Well it was about three years ago actually." Serena said to them not looking at Seiya.

"You got any more songs like that one?" Mahak asked eager for more songs from the one her new would one day be his Queen and Star's mother.

Serena again put her hands on the keyboard and began to play again the words and passion was almost overwhelming and Star was getting a bit of history along with Seiya and Mahak.

Here I'm standing in the night

My Crescent Wand the only light

Alone against my darkest fears

But I sense my friends are near

I'll draw from each the power I need

Evil queen we will defeat

*chorus*

Give me the strength to carry on

With all our love we can't go wrong

Only together we face the fight

Nothing can stand against our might

*chorus*

With all our strength the battle's won

With all our love we can't go wrong

We have the strength to carry on….

Serena ended that song and was talked into another by Star who was now in thawed with the songs coming from her future mother.

"Serena, can I ask you something?" Star said.

"Sure what is it?" Serena replied.

"Serena, can I ask you why would you write songs like that?" Star asked

"Yes I would like to know as well?" Mahak said looking at Serena then Seiya then back to Star.

Serena stood to her feet walking away from the keyboard realizing that she had just shared her deepest thoughts and feelings with others.

"There all about past experiences… excuse me I have to go now…" She said walking to the door Seiya watched her close.

"What did we say?" Mahak asked after she had left the room.

"I'll go check on her." Seiya said leaving to rush after Serena.

Mahak walked over to the keyboard there was a song still sitting there Serena hadn't sang this to them he read the words then thought about what she just said putting all the songs together.

("So all of the songs are about the past…. Before Seiya came along so that means the first one was about Darien…") he pondered as he continued to look over the words to the last song she had left behind. This is what the words read.

There comes a time

when you face the toughest of fights

searching for a sign

lost in the darkest of nights

the wind blows so cold

(you're) standing alone

before the battle's begun

but deep in your soul

the future unfolds

as bright as the rays of the sun

You've got to believe

in the power of love

you've got to believe

in the power of love

Blazing emotions

there's a light, that flows from your heart

it's a chain reaction

and nothing will keep us apart

Stand by my side

there's nothing to hide

together, we'll fight to the end

take hold of my hand

and you'll understand

what it truly means to be friends

it gives meaning to each moment

it's what our hearts are all made of

You've got to believe, in the power of love….

"The power of love…" Star read standing over Mahak's shoulder. "You know I think that she realized she shared personal emotions with us and with Seiya in the room I think she felt bad that she still had so much emotion singing those songs knowing some were about Darien…" Star said putting her arms around Mahak not realizing that she had done so.
