Starting Over
Chapter 2:
Leaving
I'm so sorry for taking so long to get this chapter out. Life has been hectic. Well you've waited long enough for this chapter, so on with the story.
I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing.
Serena slammed the door when she entered her room, wiping the tears that were cascading down her face. She leaned against the now closed door and slid to the floor bringing her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around her legs. Her small body wracked with sobs.
"Serena what's wrong?" Luna asked concerned for the young moon princess. The moon cat hurried over to Serena and sat in front of her curiosity shinning in her violet colored eyes.
"My mom and dad are making me go to a boarding school that's two hours away from here because I got a fifty percent on a test. I got till one tomorrow to say goodbye to everyone and then Trista is going to come and pick me up then take me to the school and help me get situated because she's a teacher there." Serena said hiding her face in her arms.
"Oh Serena. I don't know if any thing I say will make you fell better, but you've got to think of what good might come out of this bad situation. Trista will be there and if you wish so I would love to come with you. What do you say my princess?" the feline asked. Serena looked at her guardian. She threw her arms around the cat sobbing.
"Oh Luna. I would love it if you came with me and I guess you're right. Trista will be there so is I'm needed here she'll help and you'll be there. Maybe going to a new school will be a good think. I'll meet new people and try to work harder. Thank you Luna. I don't know what I'd do with out you." Serena whispered, wiping the tears from her eyes and hugging Luna tighter.
"I'm so proud of you, my princess."
"Luna, don't call me princess. Just call me Serena." Serna slightly scowled at her guardian then smiled and hugged the feline again. Luna laughed. Serena sighed and stood up. She walked over to her closet and dragged out her suitcases. She set the suitcases on her bed then started stuffing most of her stuff in them. After an hour of cramming as many things into her bags and suitcases she flopped down on her bed and stared at eh white ceiling of her room.
"Luna have I told you that Darien called me last week?" Serena asked suddenly.
"I heard that he called." Luna said jumping up on to the bed then sat on the windowsill.
"Have I told you what we talked about?"
"No I don't believe so." Luna said looking at her princess curiously.
"He called and told me that he's dong fine and really enjoys being in America…so much that he doesn't want to leave…" She paused and looked Luna in the eyes. "He said that he doesn't love me anymore, but still wants to be friends. He told me that he loves me more like a sister than a lover, and that I should be free to make my own choice to find love and I should move on and live my life the way I want to."
"Oh, Serena. I'm sorry…" Luna began but was cut off by Serena.
"You know what I said after that? I told him that I feel the same. I told him that I'm not angry or sad and that I understand. Then I wished him good luck with his new life and then I told him I hope we could still be friends. He said of coarse then we said goodbye and then I hung up. I didn't cry once nor did I feel sad. I was kind of actually glad."
"I don't know what to say. I never expected this to come."
"I don't think anyone really saw it coming Luna. But now that I think of it, maybe going to a new school really is a good thing, Maybe I will find my real soul mate." She smiled her eyes slowly starting to close from sleep. "Night Luna." She mumbled reaching to turn off the light then pulled the covers over her self.
"Night Princess." Luna said sighing glancing at the sleeping girl, and then curled herself up at the end of the bed falling asleep.
~Next Morning~
The feline slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the head of the bed, only to find nobody there. She quickly scanned around the room; her eyes rested on the alarm clock next to the bed.
'Seven-thirty in the morning. Where is that girl?' Luna wondered silently to herself. Her ears perked up upon hearing the door handle turn and looked at the door as it opened and Serena came walking into the room.
"Morning Luna. It's a wonderful day out." She said smiling as she walked towards her window, opening the curtains letting sunlight bath her room.
"You're up early." Luna commented while she stretched.
"It's my last day here for a while. I just wanted to enjoy it. Besides I sill have to tell the scouts so I called them all up and told them that I wanted us all to meet at Raye's at eight. So after breakfast we'll head over there."
"I'm surprised Serena. I've never seen you like this." Luna confessed.
"Like what Luna?"
"So…in charge." Serena shrugged her shoulders then looked at the clock.
"I'm going down stairs to have some breakfast." She walked out the door with Luna a few paces behind her. Serena walked into the kitchen and walked over to the table and sat down. Her family stared at her slightly in shock at seeing their daughter/sister up so early, especially on a Saturday.
"Morning Serena. Sleep well?" her mother asked setting down a plate of food in front of her daughter before sitting down herself. Serena nodded then hurriedly ate her breakfast and then got up and kissed her parents on their cheeks.
"I'm going to go over to my friend's house. I'll be back around ten-thirty or so. Bye." She said picking up Luna and slipping on her shoes, then walked out the front door closing it behind her. The five-minute walk towards the temple her friend Raye owned was silent between Serena and Luna. When Serena opened the door to Raye's room she saw the inner scouts: Raye, Mina, Lita, and Amy and the outer scouts: Amara, Michelle, and Hotaru. The only person she saw that was missing was Trista.
"Hey Serena. So why did you call us all over here?" Mina asked looking up from her magazine to Serena. The others all turned their heads towards the doorway that Serena was standing in. Serena smiled then sat down in between Mina and Raye.
"There's a couple of things I have to tell you." She started.
"What is it?" Lita asked concerned.
"First of all, Darien called last week and we both decided the love we have for each other is more of a sibling love than a lover's love. So we broke up and will be seeing other people, but we we'll still remain friends. The second thing I have to tell you is that my parents are sending me to a Private school called The Peacecraft Academe. It's a boarding school about two hours from here."
"What?!" Amara yelled, her eyes bugging out of her head.
"But why?" Lita asked with a scowl on her face.
"You're moving two hours away from us! You can't leave us." Mina whined.
"Meatball head what did you do this time?" Raye complained.
"My parents thought it would be from the best. At first I was angry with them but then after I thought about it, I thought that it would be a good idea. Something exciting and new. Maybe I will even find my true soul mate." Serena explained to her complaining friends.
"I heard that the Peacecraft Academe is a great school to go to. You'll get a great education if you apply yourself." Amy said calmly.
"Good luck Princess. I'm sure you'll do just fine there." Michelle said getting up and hugging Serena.
"Thank you." Serena whispered hugging Michelle back.
"Serena. You will come back and see us, won't you?" Hotaru asked walking up to Serena who had pulled out of the hug with Michelle.
"Of coarse Hotaru. Of coarse I will come back every once and a while to see all of you guys." Serena said pulling the younger girl into a hug. "Besides I won't be alone when I go to this new school. Luna agreed to go with me and also I learned that Trista is a teacher there. So no worries. If me going to a new school two hours away were a bad thing Trista would make sure I wouldn't be going there."
"So that's where she's been sneaking off to." Amara snorted.
"I should be going home." Serena said looking at her watch. "It's twelve-thirty. I told my mom I'd be home by ten-thirty and Trista's picking me up at one so I've better go." Serena said, trying to keep herself from crying.
"Oh Serena. We'll miss you." The scouts cried hugging their leader, their friend, and their princess.
"I'm going to miss you guys, and don't worry I'll write to you and call you guys when ever I get the chance and if there's any trouble I'm sure Trista will some how get me over here to help out. Bye you guys. See you again soon." Serena said wiping the tears out of her eyes, and then ran out the door and down the temple stairs. She stopped at the bottom of the hundreds of stairs and stared up at the top of them, then picked up Luna who just got down the stairs and started to walk speed walk home.
"Mom I'm back." Serena called out when she walked through the door to her house.
"In the living room dear." Her mother said. Once Serena walked into the living room she saw Trista sitting down on the couch with her parents as her little brother sat in the chair.
"Hello Trista." Serena said smiling at the older woman.
"Hello Serena. You ready?" Trista asked.
"Yeah, just let me get my stuff." She walked up to her room and grabbed the bags she left up there earlier. She walked back down stairs and said good-bye to her family.
"Bye baby. I'll miss you so much. Good luck and remember to call and write to us." Irene said hugging her daughter. After a several seconds she let her go and wiped the tears out of her watering eyes.
"I love you too mom and I promise to call and write."
"Watch out for boys. Good luck my baby girl. I love you." Ken said hugging his daughter.
"I love you too dad." Serena said laughing then pulled out the hug and turned to her little brother. He ran towards her and hugged her.
"Bye Serena. I'll miss you. I love you sis." Sammy said hugging her tighter trying really hard not to cry.
"I love you too. I'll miss you Squirt." Serena said hugging him back.
"Well Serena are you ready to go?" Trista asked grabbing some of Serena's bags.
"Yeah." Serena said letting go of her little brother. She picked up Luna and grabbed the rest of her bags then the two walked out of the house towards Trista's cat. As they pulled away from the house Serena's family came out and waved goodbye to her. Serena looked back at the house till she couldn't see it anymore. "A new beginning." Serena said sighing as she sat forward. She looked at Trista and the two smiled, and then turned their attention back to the journey ahead of them.
So what do you think? I'll try me best to get the next chapter out but before I can start writing the next chapter I need ideas on who Serena should be with.
Heero?
Wufei?
Duo?
I don't really want this to be a Trowa/Serena fic but if there's more votes for Trowa then I will most likely do it. I don't want Quatre to be with Serena because they seem more like they'd be brother and sister and it would kind of weird if I have them as a couple. Anyways. The GW boys will be in the next chapter but remember I can't get the next chapter written till you –the readers- vote who Serena should be with. So don't forget to review.
Thanks,
Moonluna
