Me: Sorry for not updating in awhile! To be honest, I am so busy with school and work that I had no time to update at all!

Hope you are satisfied with this long chapter! There will be another new chapter to be posted as well as soon as I finish writing it. I do not own Sailor Moon at all and any new characters that are not from the actual manga or anime are owned by me!


I run, run, run

I can't stop

Run, run, run again

I can't help it

This is all I can do anyway

All I know is how to love you

-BTS, Run Lyrics (English Translation)


Chapter 2- The Blue Umbrella Boy

Serena P.O.V.

All Serena felt was pain. Why? She was in the middle of a youma battle and was losing quite badly.

"Sailor Moon," Sailor Jupiter yelled, worried about her princess. "Hold on!" Serena groaned in pain and weakly smiled at her fellow sailor scout.

"No," Serena commanded. "Take care of the youmas. I will be alright."

No. She was not alright. Her body was in terrible pain and it ached whenever she moved. Not only this, but she was pretty sure that she broke a bone also. However, it was not just that…..her heart hurt as well.

Every single time she heard a soft rustle, she would keep on thinking that it was Darien aka Tuxedo Mask there...ready to save her…..Serena sniffed. She still couldn't believe that him breaking up with her would also result to not fighting against the youmas.

She almost felt like completely hating him at that moment. He would rather let the world be in danger than fight along side with her. To top it all, he was going on vacation! Just thinking about that made her heart hurt even more. Because of him, her fighting became weaker. She wasn't able to dodge any attacks or even lead her team through a tough battle.

"Now Sailor Moon!" her team shouted, turning their attention to her. They managed to weaken the enemy and were now waiting for their princess to destroy the creature. "Sailor Moon...Sailor Moon….SAILOR MOON!"

Serena woke up from her trance and shakily nodded.

"Right!" Serena responded. And with a simple wave of her wand and a few muttered words, the youmas were vanished. One single move...like always….


LATER…

Drip Drop….Drip Drop...

Serena silently sat at the door way entrance of Rei's room as she reached her hand out to feel the cold rain drops splash on her skin. It felt nice….the rain… so far the only thing that was comforting her in this whole Dar...Dar….Darien situation was the rain. It was like it was reflecting her mood. The coldness she felt inside and the tears she felt like letting out any time.

However, Serena knew that she shouldn't just focus on the rain. She knew for a fact that she had to face the consequences of her not focusing and doing well in the battle against youmas that had happened earlier. And boy, did she felt the tension in the room.

The atmosphere of the room was awkward and tense. Rei was struggling on whether she should be understanding or angry, Ami was quietly typing details of the battle in her computer, Lita was flipping through a cooking magazine absent mindedly, and Mina was nervously twisting her hair into a knot.

Luna, her most trusted guardian and friend looked around the room before she glanced at her fellow cat guardian, Artemis. How could they ease the tension?

Luna had an idea.

"Cheer up girls," Luna said as she hopped on the small table filled with snacks. "We all had tough battles before and were very distracted. Has this been the first time we ran into problems or life defining moments? No, and every time we face those kind of moments in our life. We always manage to get back up and fight even harder. Next time we face youmas, we will make sure to do our best. For now, let's practice your moves so we can work on defense. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, let's work on our skills so we can do better," Artemis chimed in, trying to lighten the situation even more. "If we work hard, we can do anything! Remember confidence is key! And more importantly, health and teamwork! Right Serena?"

Serena looked up from the rain. Very slowly, she got up and went inside but instead of sitting with the others, she chose to sit near the wall of the table that Luna was sitting on. After doing so, she softly looked at her fellow members.

The moment she looked at every single one of her teammates, she knew that she messed up worse than Luna had thought. Most of her members were extremely upset yet were trying to let their feelings go because of the situation she was in. Because of this, it made her feel even more guilty and worthless.

Artemis cleared his throat. It was even more awkward now.

Hearing the sound of the cat, Rei looked up. She sighed as she watched Serena become consumed with sorrow and guiltiness.

"Serena," Rei spoke out loud, looking at the blonde. "I know you are struggling because of your break up with Darien, but you have to know that you have friends to support you. You are not alone you dummy! If you want to talk about what's happening to you lately, tell us. Don't just tell us sudden news and expect us to watch you sit there with a broken heart. Because of what you're doing, you are letting a guy affect everything you are doing! You could have died out there! Wake up!"

Usually in a situation like this, Serena would crack a smile at those touching yet cruelly blunt words from Rei, who was attempting to comfort her, but she just couldn't. Her guilt and sorrows were eating her away until she was nothing but dust in the wind.

"Serena," Ami looked at the young blonde princess in concern. "Are you alright? If you want to talk, you can tell us anything. We are always here for you."

"Yeah Serena!" Lita chimed in. "We're for you!"

Serena watched as her friends smiled at her. She watched as they lifted their tired smiles with hopes of her finally coming clean about her feelings. But instead of pure happiness, Serena just felt helpless. What she saw was not only undying support in her friend's' eyes, but also the look of pity and weariness. And was worst of all was that Serena understood why they had that look.

Serena knew for a fact that despite the fact that her best friends were trying their best to be understanding, she knew that they were tired of all the drama between Darien and her. They just wanted to get this complication to be dealt with so they can focus on the youmas and the possible enemies that they may face in the future. She also knew that did their best to put those kind of feelings aside so they can be there for her as her biggest support. They would look at her as she cried in their arms while gasping for breath due to the amount of tears she would cry. As she would now always do so, they would hold her tighter like they were attempting to pull her back together. Because of these moments, they can't help but pity her and hate Darien for the pain he caused at their precious princess.

But Serena didn't want pity or any of these kind of looks thrown at her. All she wanted was happiness and understanding. She wanted someone to make her laugh and smile again like in the past….She wanted someone to hold her and say it was alright while not look at her like she was something that was broken.

Most of all...she wanted Darien.

"Serena," Mina looked up at her friend for the first time since the youma battle. She was the only one who did not glance at her princess. Mina's eyes soften with sorrow as she looked at Serena's tear filled eyes. "Do you want to tell us what happen out there? We're here for you."

"Serena," her friends said to her. "We will listen…."

Serena slowly looked at their eyes once more and felt tears pouring down her face. She couldn't take it. The pity...the weariness….the anger... She watch them as they attempt to get closer to her.

"Serena…"

Serena held the wall as she stared at them with alarm. It felt suffocating all of a sudden. She couldn't breath.

"Serena, please calm down. We can help you," Mina softly said, brushing Serena's hair with her fingers.

Serena shakily nodded and tried to calm down.

In….out...In….out...In...Out…..In...Out…..In Out…..In Out…...

In out…..In Out….IN….OUT...IN….OUT...IN..OUT…INOUT….INOUTINOUT-

And at that moment, Serena bolted out of the temple and into the cold rain. She couldn't take it anymore. She had to get away.

"SERENA!"


Seth P.O.V.

Seth softly lifted up his noodles as his stomach grumbled. He didn't like that he was forced to eat his favorite food for a third day in a row. He hated it. He was craving for rice and beef but sadly, his new part time job paycheck would only be enough for a week's worth of cheap foods. Any sort of restaurant food with the foods he craved for would only cost him the rest of his meals for the rest of the week.

"Aish," he grumbled. "I should have ate with them…." Seth shook his head. What was he thinking?! Like he would ever eat with those people…

After everything that had happened, he didn't want to eat with those people. After what had happen when he was little.

Seth lowered his chopsticks and closed his eyes.

The shouting…...The trembling hands…..the blood and tears that were shed.

Seth breathed in and out. He had to calm down he could take the embarrassment if he started to get a mental breakdown in public.

Seth lifted his chopsticks and slowly started to shove the noodles into his mouth. All he needed to eat and his mind would only be consumed with the thought of food….

But he couldn't help it if his mind was consumed with the past. After seeing that classmate of his cry in self-pity, he couldn't help but be upset. She was crying over something which was probably stupid while he had stuff both in his past and currently that he wanted to cry about! But he didn't. He stopped crying a long time ago.

Seth was about to shove another strand of noodles into his mouth when he was met with nothing….

Seth looked down. He managed to eat every single noodle into his bowl in seven bites and it was because of the anger that consumed him made even more hungry.

"Now I have to go home," Seth thought silently. Seth lifted his phone and checked the time. A couple of hours before his stupid job starts. One more bowl of ramen it was. He could skip a day without ramen on Friday. All he wanted to do was eat and forget the past and the present.

Serena P.O.V.

Serena softly trembled in the rain as she walked down the path to her house. The rain had turned from a soft light sprinkle into a pounding heavy mess. Serena could feel her school clothes sticking to her wet skin and her long hair clumping together like stringy noodles strands.

She did not regret storming out of the temple strangely. Even though it was wrong of her to storm out without a word in a extremely touching and serious moment, she had to get away. She couldn't bare the looks they were giving her and the idea of letting out her feelings. She couldn't stand it. Before her break up, she was 100% willing to let out her feelings but now….she wasn't. It hurt. And what was worse was that she did not know why it hurt to let out her feelings.

She wasn't sure if it was because she was stupid or it was because she did not understand what she was feeling right now, but all she knew was that she was not willing to let out those feelings out.

Serena shivered in the cold and glanced around. She wanted to know the time. Ever since her heart was broken, she always lost track of time so easily. Before, she had a habit of being late to school and such but now…..she wasn't sure if she was early or late for anything.

Serena continued to search for a clock until she saw the time blinking from a nearby t.v. store.

It was almost 5:00pm….

Serena sighed. It felt like nighttime….But of course it felt like nighttime….Her heart was full of darkness.

Grumble….Grumble….

Serena lowered her eyes at her stomach. She was hungry…..pathetic.

Maybe another reason why Darien broke up with her was because she loved food too much. No matter what time of day it was, Serena always seemed to be hungry. It was like her stomach was an endless pool of nothing. It made her feel fat and more worthless. Did he break up with her because of her appetite or figure? But it shouldn't have been that reason, fighting youmas took a lot of energy so of course she needed to eat a lot...what must have another reason why he thought it couldn't work out anymore? He claimed that he didn't believe in their destiny anymore and he was tired of them but...there must have been more reasons….

Serena whimpered and twisted the ends of her hair. It must have been that. Whenever they went out together if it was either friends or just the two of them, he would always be amazed by her big appetite. Back then, she thought it was the fact he thought she was cute was the reason but now….every single time she looked back at those times, she couldn't help but see the disgust in his eyes that now appear in her memories…..

But Serena didn't care right now. She was hungry and needed to forget all of this. She needed food to help her forget. It didn't matter if maybe for a fact that Darien might not like this but she didn't care right now. She could regret it later. She needed to forget right now.

Serena looked around at the shops around her. Where could she eat? There was a cafe….a Chinese restaurant….a traditional Japanese restaurant….where could she eat?

Serena silently looked around and sighed. She couldn't even pick one right now. Darien had taken her to all those places. She remembered that when they dated, he loved to take her to restaurants and other food places whenever they didn't have to fight youmas or deal with interruptions.

Yes, she could deal with it and go to one of those restaurants but she simply couldn't. They would only give her painful memories. She wanted to forget for a while not be in more pain.

Serena frowned and thought to herself. What would be a good place?

And at that moment, Serena had an idea. She remembered that Darien did not like eating at convenience stores. Yes, he had been to stores likes those before but Darien always chose to not eat any foods that were not pre-wrapped and sealed from a factory's approval when it came to those stores. He had gotten sick once and never again wanted to eat hot fresh foods from there ever again.

Serena nodded. That would be the perfect place. She had almost no memories of him there. She then dug into her pockets. If she was going to eat there, she needed some money.

Serena frowned. There was no money in her pocket. That was weird. She swore she put money in her pocket earlier today.

Where could it be? Serena frowned and tried to retrace her steps in her mind. She had put money in her pocket in the morning right before school and had kept it in her pocket all day….but how could it-...Serena sighed. She had taken out her money when she had spotted a youma and placed it inside her backpack for safe keeping. And now...her backpack is at Rei's place.

Serena took her hands out of her pockets and sighed. The last thing she wanted to do right now was to go back there.

But what was she going to do? She couldn't starve…..

…..Maybe she could go home.

If she asked her mom, her mom would be happy to make her something to eat.

…..But….her mom told her in the morning that her father and her were planning to eat out for the first time in forever. And Rini wasn't home because she was planning on staying late at school for a community play her school was planning. Her own mom even packed Rini a lunchbox with dinner in it ahead of time so Rini could eat dinner at school with her teacher and classmates. And Sammy was sleeping over at a friend's place.

So in story short, she was all alone and starving. Great.

Serena sighed and looked up in the sky. What was she going to do? Starve? No out of the question.

Serena bit her lip. She didn't know what to do.

Serena began to walk to the convenience store. She might as well walk there as she kept on thinking.


AT THE CONVENIENCE STORE:

Serena silently looked at the convenience store in hunger. She was starving right now and she had no money to buy her a single cup of soup. She licked her lips.

Why did she storm out of the temple without her backpack? Why?!

Serena sighed as she walked closer to the store's window. She wanted to eat so bad. Then something caught Serena's attention. It was a bowl of hot steaming ramen. Serena gulped as her stomach growled. She wanted it so badly.

Serena then lifted her eyes and frowned. She swore that guy eating the ramen was familiar….Serena's eyes widened.


Seth P.O.V.

Seth slurped his noodles in greed as he silently bopped his head to the beat of the music that was blaring out of his phone.

Seth had managed to pay for another ramen and quickly heated it up before returning back to his seat to eat it.

He may have costed himself a meal for Friday but it was so worth it. He was slowly becoming full and it was all that mattered.

"Ah," Seth let out a sound of satisfaction after slurping on the broth of the ramen. Totally worth it.

Seth lowered his chopsticks and stretched. This bowl of ramen was so much better because not only was it delicious but it also helped him not think about his past or present.

Sigh….his past and his present…..great...now he was thinking about it again...so much for distracting himself. He silently turned off his phone and shoved it in his backpack.

Seth sighed as he lifted up his chopsticks and began to consume some more of the noodles.

"Just continue eating," he thought. "If you think too much, it will pop right back into your mind." And he did, Seth shoved another bunch of noodles into his mouth and raised his head to chew when he noticed something at the corner of his eye.

Seth turned his head and tilted his head. It was a blond hair that was styled in an odango style. Wait a minute….blonde hair...odango hair cut…...blue eyes….it was that cry baby from school!

She was drenched and shivering in the rain, wearing nothing but her school uniform. And...she was staring at his ramen. Seth scoffed.

Yeah right. Like he was that kind enough to share his ramen. Life wasn't like one of those television dramas that played on TV. He lowered his head once more to eat some more of his ramen. Maybe if he ignored the girl, she would go away….it always worked for him. And once he did so, he noticed that she didn't go away. Instead, she was looking at him.

Seth stared at that girl. Her eyes seemed to be more depressed than they were before when he last saw her at school. Hmm…..

Nah...she was probably too hungry and too cheap to buy herself some food. Seth then continued to eat and once more he could feel the stare that burned down his skull.

Just eat…..and ignore her…..just eat and ign-

That's it.

And at that moment, Seth gave up and covered his ramen with a lid. He quickly took his backpack and walked to the other side of the convenience store to throw away the leftovers of his ramen. He was full and almost late to work anyways…


Serena P.O.V.

Serena turned her head around and squatted under the cold rain. She glared at the air as if it had done something wrong with her.

She was very much done with life. First, she got dumped and now she was starving in the rain...And that stupid idiot boy from her class wouldn't even share!

Serena scratched her head and whimpered. Life was unfair…..

…..To be honest, she not only felt heartbroken, but she felt worthless and….alone. She most of all now couldn't understand Darien! After what they went through, she couldn't believe he would dump her because he felt tired of being obligated to love her. It was like everything they been through together was a lie….Serena sniffed. Everything was a lie….

"I hate him," Serena shouted, standing up. A person that just came out of the store stopped short and stared. Serena looked in that person's direction and found it to be Kim Seth from her school.

Serena blushed and scratched her head.

"I didn't mean you," she muttered. "I meant a different guy." Seth just looked at her funny and shrugged.

And as time stood still, Serena's eyes drifted to the umbrella. Slowly, very slowly. Her feet seemed to take over and head toward the umbrella until she was under it. She needed to find cover anyways.

Seth looked at Serena funny and simply moved his umbrella to his other hand, leaving Serena under the rain once more. Serena frowned and moved to where the umbrella was. And then, Seth, like he was playing a game, moved his umbrella to his other hand. Serena sighed and side stepped to the umbrella's direction.

As much as she felt ridiculous right now, she didn't care. Serena was hungry, wet, and cold. Most of all she was a loser who got her heart broken. Her dignity flew out of the window days ago. She didn't care if this was her classmate and that fact that she didn't know him that well. At least he wasn't a complete stranger and at least he didn't look at her with pity. Serena strangely felt comfort at that thought. She wouldn't go under just anyone's umbrella, she would only do that for the people she knew. And besides, Seth was her classmate and she was in fact going to help him around school so she might as well be comfortable around him.

Until…..Seth took the end of her sleeve and yanked her out of the shelter of his umbrella. He gave her one last look before slowly walking away with his blue umbrella.

Serena felt even more betrayed. Not even her classmate liked her. Serena whimpered.

She couldn't stand it. Everyone who now looked at her either pitied her or felt obligated to like her. Her friends, for example, loved her unconditionally but….they were her soldiers from her past life. They made a moon vow to serve her. They of course would unconsciously love and protect her. Even if they went through many trials with her to tighten their friendships, the only reason they were formed was because of her. And now, because she was dumped and under deep sorrows, they were forced to protect her even more. She could see the anger at the idea of a sad Serena, she could see the pity they gave her when she cried, she could see the attempt to understand her when she fell down during a battle, and she could see the weariness that they had because of her. She knew that they meant well...but because of that...she felt alone.

"I'm all alone," she said out loud, her voice dead with emotion. "You gave me too much pain and hardships and this is how you repay me! A broken heart! He loved me and you take him away from me."

Serena sighed and whipped her tears. She felt truly alone. Fate seemed to hate her very much.

Step….Step….Step….

Serena then felt no rain all of a sudden. She looked up.

It was Seth with his blue umbrella. He was though not under it. He was instead out in the rain. She was under it.

Serena stared at his gold eyes. They were sad….like hers….no...even more sad than hers…..

Serena continued to stared at the boy's eyes. They were a mystery. Even though Seth's eyes seemed to be bright and open with emotion for the world to see. There was a hint of mystery in them like Seth was lying about his emotions and keeping in his sorrows.

Serena continued to stare until she felt Seth's hand wrap around hers'. Serena stepped back in shock. What was he doing?!

Seth quietly ignored the blond girl and instead placed the umbrella's handle on her hands.

"Oh…." Serena softly whispered. She looked up at her classmate. "For me?"

Seth instead said nothing and stepped back. He gave her a judging look before putting on the hoodie of his black jacket and walking away.

"T-Thank you!" Serena shouted at the distant figure. "I take that back of what I thought about you in class! And I will return the umbrella to you later!" Serena stared at the blue umbrella and smiled for the first time. She wasn't completely alone.


Seth P.O.V.

Seth stepped out of the convenience store with his umbrella when he heard some hurtful words.

"I hate him!" Seth quickly looked at the girl and gave her a weird look. Just because he didn't share his ramen, she hated him? Well then.

His classmate, Serena looked at him and blushed.

"I didn't mean you," she muttered. "I meant a different guy." Seth shrugged. Well okay then.

And at that moment, Seth had witnessed the most strangest thing in his life. That girl, Serena had moved herself under his umbrella.

He stared at the blond girl and stared at his umbrella. What was his umbrella now? A girl magnet?

He sighed. He was going to be late to work if she was expecting him to walk her home like in one of those dramas or mangas.

And because of that thought, he moved his umbrella to the other side of hand…..

She moved to that side….He might as well move his umbrella again….What the heck...she moved again.

And at that moment, he took the end of her shirt sleeve and yanked that odango hair girl out of his umbrella.

Seth gave the girl a weird stare as he proceeded to walk away. What the heck was that girl thinking?! Like he was going to not only give up his food but his umbrella as well.

If she wanted greasy romantic stuff like that, she should watch some dramas or read a manga or something. Don't come to him. Geez...

But…...

"I'm all alone," he heard a girl say behind him. Seth stopped in his tracks and sighed.

What did that girl want now?! But when he turned around. His eyes widened.

Right there in front of him was the reflection of what he was…

A person that not only was fated to suffer but to also feel alone because everyone seemed to not understand. To feel like fate was planning something and constantly changing because it wasn't satisfied with their own happiness. To feel like when you want to cry the most, you can't because you don't know how to let out your feelings. To feel like you have to solve your own problems by yourself because everyone would just not understand or simply pity you.

"You gave me too much pain and hardships and this is how you repay me!" Serena said, truly dead of emotion. "A broken heart! He loved me and you take him away from me."

Seth didn't understand who the girl, Serena was crying over was. He didn't know if that person was dead or alive, nice or cruel, heck he even didn't know what the gender and age was! But he knew that she was angry at fate and everyone she had to deal with in general. He may not understand her situation but he understood her frustration. She had no one truly because no one could stop and look at her with no pity in their eyes.

Hm….Seth looked at his umbrella and sighed. He hated it. He hated it when he played nice to random people.

Seth slowly walked up to the girl and pushed his arm so that the umbrella could cover the small blonde girl only.

Slowly, very slowly, Serena lifted her eyes and stared. Seth breathed in as he stared at those blue eyes that seemed to mirror what he felt. Mirrors to the soul...huh…

Seth looked down at the shivering girl's hand and took it. He felt a sudden shock that ran through his body. It was like electricity was coursing through body and strangely….warming his heart…..

He slowly placed his precious umbrella in the girl's hands and stepped back.

"Oh…." Serena softly whispered. She looked up at him with wonder. "For me?" Seth didn't say anything. He was too shocked to communicate. Besides, he didn't feel like talking to her. He only wanted to offer his umbrella, not make small talk.

With one last judging look at the strange girl, he took off. He needed to go to work and clear his head of why he did that. He wasn't that nice of a person.

Seth breathed in and sighed. What was he kidding. He was a sucker for that moment. He knew why he did that.


THE NEXT DAY

Serena slowly walked down the path to her school when she noticed something odd. She stopped in her tracks and stared.

Ota...Fukuya?

Hm…..Serena stared at the advertisement in front of her.

"Want a makeover," she read. "Want to impress the guy? Come on over to our shop!"

Serena silently stared at the sign. A makeover. Was that the answer? To win Darien back? To get a makeover and show him a new person that was not whiny and not like the person from their past. Maybe he wanted someone that acted his age...maybe he wanted someone who was sophisticated….maybe he wanted someone beautiful…..

Serena felt dirty and pathetic all of a sudden. She of course loved makeup and jewelry like any girl would but to change her whole look? Impossible. Her mom taught her better than to change her looks for a guy. But….

Princess Serenity, in her memories, was a sophisticated person. She was tall, pretty, and capable of handling her duties as the moon princess. Sure she maybe a bit clumsy here and there, but she was not completely a klutz. Princess Serenity was everything that Serena wanted to be right now. Someone not that only was beautiful but was sophisticated, intelligent, and funny all in one. All Serena had was clumsiness and humor. She maybe a little pretty but she was completely beautiful in her past life. And she certainly wasn't smart or sophisticated. Heck she wasn't even cute. She was imperfect….

Serena took the ad and ripped it from the post. Right after school, she was planning on going. End of story.


A FEW HOURS EARLIER

Darien sighed as he sat in the airport bored. He couldn't believe his plane was delayed. Darien sighed and checked his watch. He had eighteen hours before the plane arrived. He might as well go back to his apartment and take a nap before heading back. Darien stretched his back.

He wanted to go to Europe because he wanted to forget about Serena. He broke up with her when he still loved her and was trying his best to forget her. And a trip to self reflection was the best idea he came up with. But...it wasn't really helping when his plane was delayed. If he couldn't forget Serena, he couldn't protect her.

Darien sighed as he dragged his suitcase. Nearly one more day left before he was able to do that.


Read this to gain A LOT of important information:

Yay! The second chapter is officially done! To be honest, this took me longer than I expected.

But as a side note, Darien staying back will have one last effect before he officially leaves for Europe. So don't expect him staying. Also, did you like that cute umbrella scene? I certainly had a joy writing it. To be honest, that scene was a nod to one of my favorite dramas of all time, 'Hi! School Love On'. The drama is so CUTE and the bromance is the best part of the show. I swear there is more bromance than there is actually romance. I totally recommend watching it on the Viki app or any time of drama website. But Viki's better because the comments were hilarious as I watched it. Anyways, don't hate Serena. Even though she is sounding pathetic right now. I take that back. She is. It's honestly her character development in the story.

To people who might think this is unrealistic. Serena is characterized to be around 14-15 around this age. She is still maturing and this is her first break up in her life. Of course she feels insecure. Besides, it hurts when the guy you are fated to be with says that he doesn't want to date you in order to fight fate and the fact that he feels obligated to love you.

Serena will though slowly mature and we will see that when she sees more of Seth. Seth though has his own drama to face so stay in tune of that in the far future. If you are questioning if Serena and Seth will jump into a relationship or have deep affections for each other like in the first draft of this story (which was a long and painful time ago), it will take a very long time before that is even thought of. Serena has to get over her first love and Seth has to learn how to open up. But I plan on building up their relationship through that and other sorts of fun stuff ahead (wink wink).

But to be honest. I also plan on extending this story for a while because when I went to watch the episodes of Sailor Moon R, Darien and Serena's relationship went back together fairly quickly. I understood more of Darien but less of Serena. It was more on the break up episode when we saw that shocking side of her. That and other episodes I don't really remember. But in this story, I want to focus on Serena and how she can mature. Sure we will see Darien but it is more on the less. The story will stay fairly faithful to the anime but will slowly drift off when it comes story development. Don't worry, I will do Sailor Moon's future and such but it will be changed because let's be honest. The title is Sailor Suns. There will be a new sailor scout and things are bound to change.

And for my readers who read the first draft of my story, you know why. That draft of mine...I taken a majority of the major parts that I liked from my plot layout and incorporated them in my story. And you will see that happen. I am honestly excited because of that. So review to me what you personally think of the changes that will be made in terms of the plot when it comes the anime and my faithfulness to it! I hope you understand why I am doing this and what you thought of the umbrella scene. And let me know what kind of romantic or other kinds of scenes that you are hoping for. If I like it, I will see if I can incorporate them in. I am fairly open to suggestions.

And until next time, bye! Thank you!
