Serena hurriedly skipped down the temple steps and around the corner to catch up with her sister with Luna following at her heals.
"What's the matter Sybil?" Serena asked her sister when she caught up with her.
"Why do you ask that?" Sybil asked looking up from the lines on the sidewalk to her sister's face.
"Well one you left pretty quickly, two you've been really quiet lately, and three lately you've been looking sad almost like your depressed."
"I guess I'm just really homesick and I'm tired of acting like a klutz, and like a total blond and everything else. When Trista brought us here we had to hide our ways and change into different people. I miss our family and I miss our home." Sybil answered stopped walking and let out a sad sigh.
"I miss home too, but we have a duty here and friends. I would love to go home but I don't know if I could leave my friends." Serena said sadly looking at the white clouds against the bright blue sky.
"Yeah." Sybil started walking again, "So you've got a date with Darien tonight? Where's he taking you?"
"Yep. I don't know. He said it was a surprise, when I asked him earlier." Serena said smiling.
"Does mom know?"
"Yes. I told her and dad that Darien is taking me out to eat tonight."
"What did they say?" Sybil asked smiling.
"Mom said that was nice and asked where he was taking me."
"What about dad?" Sybil asked smirking knowing his reaction had been totally different then their mother's.
"You know dad. The hundred questions and the "I don't think that either of my daughter's should be dating yet" speech." Serena said rolling her eyes. Sybil lightly laughed thinking of what their father looked and sounded like. They walked a couple minutes in silence.
"Do you love him?" Sybil asked silently suddenly. Serena looked at her sister, forehead scrunched in thought.
"To tell the truth…I don't know." She answered quietly. Sybil looked up at her sister's face.
"Explain."
"Well, I feel like I have to be with him, but…with some one else."
"Follow your heart Serena. Your heart will get you far and you'll be happy in the end." Sybil said stopping at the front door of the house turning to face Serena; she smiled then opened the door and walked in with Serena following behind thinking about what she said.
"Hello girls. How was school?" asked their mother Irene Tsukino.
"It was fine." Both girls answered in sync as they walked up the stairs to their room. The twins walked into their room and closed the door behind them.
"So what are you planning on wearing for your date?" Sybil asked sitting on her bed smiling.
"I thought you could help me with that." Serena said opening her closet door.
"Well, first decide what color you would like to wear."
"I don't know, what color do you think?" Sybil sat and stared at her sister thinking.
"I think tonight you should wear blue."
"Ok." Serena said walking to her closet pulling out her outfits that were blue and setting them on her bed. Sybil got up and started picking up outfits and holding them out towards Serena to see which looked better. Sybil picked up the ankle length sleeveless dark blue dress and handed it to her sister.
"That one Serena. Now go and take a quick shower, I'll help you with your hair and makeup." She said carefully taking the dress out of her sister's arms and hanged it up on the clothes hook on the wall and shoved Serena into the bathroom. When Serena walked out of the bathroom Sybil pushed her into a chair and started brushing her ankle length blond hair. "So how would you like you hair done?" Sybil asked looking at her sister's face through the mirror.
"I don't know. Surprise me." Serena answered smiling at her.
"Ok." Sybil said turning on the curling iron and taking our some hair products. An hour later Serena looked into the mirror and saw her hair done up in ringlets on top of her head and a curl on each side of her face hanging down.
"Wow. It's beautiful Sybil."
"Thanks. Now go get dressed then we'll do your makeup." Serena nodded and brought her dress into the bathroom to change. When she finished changing she walked out of the bathroom and sat in the chair while Sybil did her makeup. "There, all done. I'll go get your shoes. You have about fifteen minutes left till he comes to get you." Sybil said searching for a pair of shoes. "Ah. Here they are." She said picking them up off the closet floor and handing them to Serena, "Now lets go down stairs and wait." The two walked down the stairs and walked into the living room where their mother, father, and little brother sat.
"Wow Serena you look beautiful." Exclaimed their mother.
"Thanks mom. Sybil did it for me." Serena said smiling.
"Your very talented Sybil. Come and sit down girls." Their mother said smiling. Just as Serena walked over to the couch and was getting ready to sit down the doorbell rang, "Oh that must be your date Serena."
"I'll get it." The girls' father declared and walked to the door and opened it.
"Hello Mr. Tsukino. I'm Darien Shields, Serena's date." Darien said standing at he door in a gray suit and black tie, looking a lot like a business man just getting off from work.
"Yes. Please come in." Mr. Tsukino said opening the door wider for Darien to come in. When Darien walked into the house he saw Serena, her mother, her little brother…and her twin sister. Lord how he despised her. He came to the conclusion when he first met Sybil that she would take her sister away from him and that would ruin his plans he had in store for Serena.
"Darien." Serena called out his name walking up to him and hugging him.
"Serena." He said smiling. "Mrs. Tsukino, Sammy…Sybil." he said acknowledging the others in the room.
Mrs. Tsukino smiled, "Hello. You must be Darien. Serena speaks so highly of you and speaks about you a lot." Darien smiled and looked from her to Serena then looked at Sammy.
Sammy nodded, "Have a good time Serena." He said to his sister.
"I will." Serena beamed.
"Don't forget to tell me about your night when you get home Serena." Sybil said with a small smile.
"I promise."
"Ok Serena I want you home no later than ten." Her father said.
"I promise to have her back before ten sir." Darien said.
"Good. Have a good time Serena." Her father said.
"Drive safe and be careful. Have fun. Bye sweet heart." Her mother said shooing them out he door.
"Bye." Serena called as Darien walked her to the car, they got in and drove off. The girls mother let out a small sigh as she watched the two drive off. She looked up when someone put their arm around her shoulders. She smiled up lovingly at her husband.
"Dinner's ready." He said quietly. She nodded and the two walked back into the house, closed the door and turned around facing their kids.
"Dinner's ready." Mrs. Tsukino announced to Sybil and Sammy who stood there staring at the two. They nodded and followed their parents into the dinning room.
"Oh Dar. It's so beautiful." Serena said looking around at the restaurant they were in.
"I knew you'd love it here." Darien said smiling as they sat down at a table. They ordered their food then sat in silence for a few moments.
"Thanks for asking me out tonight Dar." Serena said quietly. Darien inwardly winced at her pet name for him.
"You're welcome." He said wearily smiling. The rest of their evening went quiet with some small talk. On the ride home Serena kept going over and over in her mind what her sister told her earlier. 'Sybil told me to follow my heart…I always thought my heart was leading me towards Darien, but now it feels like my heart is trying to lead me away from Darien instead.' Serena thought in a slight daze. She was knocked out of her daze when the car stopped and Darien opened the car door for her. "Good night Serena." He said when they reached her front door. He kissed her lightly on the cheek visibly cringing inside and walked away back to his car. "See you tomorrow he called as he drove away. Serena opened the door and walked in.
"Hey sweetie. Have a good time?" called out her mother from the living room. Serena took off her shoes and walked into the living room. She looked at her mom and dad cuddled on the couch and smiled.
"Yes. I had a great time." She answered.
"Going to bed?" her father asked.
"Yes." She nodded, walked over to her parents and kissed them on the cheeks.
"Good night." They called to her as she walked up the stairs.
"Good night." She called down to them. She opened her bedroom door and walked in, closing the door behind her. She waked over to her bed and flopped down lying on her back.
"How was your date?" Serena sat up glancing at her sister who was laying on her stomach in bed finishing up her schoolwork.
"It was fine." Serena answered sighing. Sybil looked up from her work and looked at her sister.
"You ok?" She asked silently.
"I'm fine…but I'm starting to think your right. I don't really love Darien anymore." Serena answered.
"Sleep on it." Sybil said setting her books on the floor next to her bed, and then snuggled under her covers. Serena got up, got her pajamas and went to go change in the bathroom. She came back in and slipped into her bed. "Night." Sybil called to her.
"Night." She responded then both fell asleep.
I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as I can and I'm working on my other stories. Gota run but Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays to all who reads.
Oh yeah I for got to let Wufei out of the closet…it was like a couple weeks ago or so till Sailor Miniji let him out. Now He's spending the holidays with her so I wouldn't end up killing him.
