I'll try to put more action other than that in here maybe or the next chapter. I'll see what I can whip up for you guys! ^_^ Once more I don't own and never will be able to own Sailor Moon or it's characters other than I somehow become rich and pwerful that i can buy it. *sigh* Wishful thinking, ne? Right...*sigh* If I did own it I would be out of school by now because I'm such a genius! ^^ But I'm afraid Takeuchi Naoko owns it! ;_; *sniff* She's soo much better anyways.... You guys know the drill right? The change sequence,thoughts,me disrupting with stuff? Like yea..of course you do if you've read my other chapters other than this... Now on with the show!! ^^.... ************************************* Serena's eyes opened and looked around as she played now after a while. She saw her old friends and new friends closing their eyes in silence listening to her play. *Huh? How'd they get here? I had no clue that they heard me play at all! Oh well... I suppose I don't mind at all for them listening.. I miss them sooo...Darien? Wow! He's here as well..that would mean that there was a fight nearby...* thought Serena. peacefully and you could here the music start to sadden when she thought about missing her friends and thinking about other things like that. She closed her eyes after awhile and decided to end the music. As the music drew to a close the others opened their eyes and they felt relaxed and happy now. The ones inside the hospital that heard her play felt rejuvenated and happy who were sick and old. As for the ones in a colma they seemed to be getting near to awakening now because they felt relaxed, less burdened with their problems, and happy as well. The power within the golden flute seemed to heal them all. "Mmm wonderful music Sere!" Drew exclaimed happily with more strngth within him. "I quite agree Drew. You were wonderful!" Par agreed. "Yes we agree as well don't we you guys?" Am said looking toward the others who nodded. "I didn't know you could play the flute Serena." Lita said. "Mmm..thank you you guys. I suppose I can Lita. I suppose soo.." Serena said not looking them in the eye. "I'm happy for you Sere..."Darien said with love in his eyes. "Thank you Darien..." Serena said looking at Darien with so much love and yet after a while she looked away thinking.... *I can always count on Darien to make me feel happy and complete. But.....I feel as though I've betrayed him still..I guess it's because of Par..I don't know where I stand between these two...Darien would never think of dumping me to another girl but then why am I with another guy? But I'm not..yet..* Serena thought shamefully. "Hey Sere..who are they?" asked Drew looking at the others. "Yes Sere who are they?" Par asked as well looking at Serena in confusion. "Oh..them..uhmm..their uhmm..." Serena stuttered. "We're old friends of Serena's. Hi I'm Raye! This is Mina, Lita, Ami, Darien, and this is Mina's pet, Artemis!" Raye said and referred to her friends introducing each one. "Hi! My name is Drew and this is Par! I suppose you know Serena right..hehe!" Drew introduced happily. Artemis looked at both groups and then got bored so he layed down on the grass and slept curling up sleepily. Darien looked at Serena wondering what was wrong. *What's wrong with you? You seem distant. I didn't know that this argument with you and the scouts would cause such a big difference in you! Whatever happens Sere...I'll always be here..waiting for you. I promise..* "Well..Serena where's Luna, does she...uhmm..know?" asked Raye hinting her if she told Luna about what happened with the fight that they have done. "....Luna's at home safe and sound. No need to worry..okay?" Serena said coldly. "......"Raye responded looking at the cherry tree that they were near to. *Good spot to play that rare one-of-a-king instrument she played* "Oh! Here's your flute back Drew. Thank you for letting me use it." Serena said gratefully handing Drew back the golden-diamond designed flute. He shook his head and said," No Sere..you should keep it since you obviously can play it better than I can." "Really? Are you sure?" Serena said hesitantly. "Really!" Drew said assuring her. "Thank you Drew..I should get you a better present." Serena said thoughtfully. "No need you already have...by playing that flute for us. Will you play it again from time to time?" Drew said. "Sure! Whenever I feel I that I should.." Serena said not sure about what she said but it sounded right somehow.. *What does she mean by that?* thought Drew. But with the others they just didn't think about it or had no clue what she meant or just somehow knew what she said. "Thanks.." Drew said. "Well I better go now I'm starving! How about you guys?" Lita announced. "Yup I am!" "Me too!" "Let's go!" "..okay let's go." Everyone got up along with Artemis and Darien. Then as they left Lita turned back to Serena who waved and put on a fake smile with Par and Drew waving and saying good-bye. "Uhmm..so Serena..do you want to come? I'm making dinner early and..I was wondering if you would come. For old times sake?" Lita said and in her eyes you could see that she missed her best friend. "No..I don't think so Lita..maybe some other time.." Serena said sadly looking at her friend but hid it behind a mask. "uhmm..okay ja ne then.." Lita said softly and twirled around and walked off towards the others. "Ja ne..Lita" Serena whispered softly to Lita as she left. But no one heard it but herself as she said good-bye to her old friend. "Soo..shall we go inside now?" Serena said facing Par and Drew who looked at her worriedly. Wondering what makes her so sad still but getting closer to the truth since now they've figured out that it has something to do with her old friends. "Sure let's go!" Drew said. Par pushed Drew to the elevator and then to his room in the hospital with Serena following along in silence holding the golden-diamond designed flute in her hand. Once they were in the room and put Drew safely to the bed they sat in silence for awhile. "Soo..shall I play a soft melody to put you to sleep Drew?" offered Serena smiling. "No, arigatou though. It was a nice thought. You know *yawn* though *yawn*... that you're still not happy enough..even though you seem to be...Sere.*yawn*" Drew said staring at Serena sadly as he drifted off to sleep. "What does he mean by that Sere?"Par asked looking at the now sleeping child. "I'm still not sure..but I think he knows some stuff about me that I don't know myself. He's really smart for a kid," Serena answered looking at Drew sleeping peacefully. "Yea...he is" Par said now staring at Serena. "Shall we go now milady?" Par asked bowing to her. "We shall..." giggled Serena softly and curtsying gracefully to Par. "Let's go then." Par offered his arm to Serena who gratefully accepted and then they left the room silently closing it behind them. Then exiting the hospital and journeying off to Serena's house as day became night. ******************************* "You know Serena has changed a lot since yesterday don't you think?" Lita said as they sat down and began eating Lita's famous food. "Yes she has. You know she hasn't tripped or anything when she was at school!" Mina said. "Plus I heard she was on time and did her homework!" Ami commented. "Really?!?! Wow!! You should have gotten us a copy of that homework!!" Raye said shocked. "Come of it Raye! You know it's not that surprising!" Lita said. "..I suppose." Raye answered. "You know I'm proud that Serena is actually growing up finally. She's learning to take responsibility now." Darien commented. "Yes..she is and like it or not I'm proud of her." Artemis said. "mmm" "yea.." "....." Then they ate silently throughout the meal. "So Mina what's the scoop on Melvin and Molly? Are they really together now?" Lita asked. "Nahh..not yet. But they are giving each other signs and stuff.." "Really?" "Wow Ami! I never knew you're a gossip too!" "Hey! I'm not all in books and study you know!" "What would Greg say?" "Knock it off you girls!" "Yeaa!!" "......" -_-;; "Oh come on Darien you know you enjoy hanging around us!" ".....I refuse to say anything." "Come on!" "No!" "So what did they do?" "I heard that they kissed!" "Noo!" "Darien!! Admit it!" "No!!" " *sigh* I don't know you guys!" "Artemis!" "Meow?" "Artemis stop pretending that you don't know us!" "Meow?" "*sigh* Artemis!!!" "Darien come on!!" "Noo!!" "So he said that she said that they were going there and she said that they did but he said that they didn't so I said what happened then so he said that they.." "I can't understand a word you said.." -_-;; "You need better hearing Amy." "Do not!" "Artemis get off that *crash* radio.." "What?!!?! My radio!!" "You're dead meat Artemis! YOu shouldn't break Lita's radio!" "Uhmm actually you let me borrow that radio..hehe" "Meow?!?!?! Uh-oh!" *jumps off from window* "Artemis get back here!!!" an angry Mina yelled out from window *screech* "Hey get off the street you mangy cat!" "Hey mommy there's a white cat can we get it?" "No now come on!" *drags a little boy off to a store* "But.." "No buts!" "Wahhh!!" "Hey where's Artemis? I can't seem to see him from the window now." "Probably got hit by a truck or something." "You're so mean Darien!" "Hey old habits die hard." "*sigh* Oh welll...." ******************************** "Sooo Par you know something about me now but I don't know anything about you yet except you know about the lady from the gift shop," Serena said walking beside Par. "Well..me and the lady go back a long time..so that's sort of important." "Will you tell me?" "No, not yet anyways..it's sort of a personal thing a little bit." "oh..." "Don't worry..Sere." "mmm..." "Hey Sere?" "Hmm?" "Stop for a minute." "Okay what is it Par?" Serena stopped and stared at Par's beautiful brown eyes. "Well.that flute of yours? Did the lady ever tell you about it?" "Yes...she did..why do you ask?" "Did she tell you about a young man giving it to her?" "Do you mean you're the man that gave it to her?" Serena now looked cautiously at him. "Yes..I am Sere." Par said staring at her curious blue eyes. *So beautiful like a little bunny from the moon* "What? Do you want it back?" "No...no keep it Sere" he said shaking his head. "Huh?" she asked not quite understanding. "Well I was looking for a partner and I think I found one..that would be you..Sere" "I still don't understand? You mean to say that you're the one who owns the flute and that you're looking for a partner? To do what?" "First off that flute isn't mine it's yours because I gave the flute to the lady since I believe that she can help me look for the right partner although at first I thought that she was to be my partner. I was mistaken. Next I'm looking for a partner because of my destiny. I am suppose to find my partner and together we go around doing good in the world to keep the peace alive. Also to find the ultimate power in which the two golden flute hold within it and ourselves. Without the other the power of the flute can not work fully. It won't keep the peace going that it holds at the moment without the other." "Sooo you're saying is that this flute and your flute are magical and are soo powerful that it can keep peace alive?" "Not really we still need to find it's ultimate power that it holds to make that peace come true and even then...it's only a myth that was explained to me by someone," Par explained. "oohh..so it's only a myth." "Not that part about the magic it holds with in itself. I know cause..I have the other golden, diamond flute," Par said looking down at the cemented street. "Hmm...so..what do we do?" asked Serena looking at him with trust in her eyes now. "Well how about if we meet tomorrow? I'll pick you up at your place." Par suggested. "Okay! Is it Saturday tomorrow?" Serena asked. "Yup it is!"Par said. "Great!" Then the two walked down some of their questions finally revealed to them about one another. Now they know that they can trust one another because of a secret they now share with one another. "How old are you, Par?" asked Serena looking at Par as they walked down a deserted street with the moon and the stars outside and the street lamps turned on. "How old are you, Sere?" Par asked looking at Serena. "I asked first." "Hmm..alright I'm 17 years old," answered Par. "Well I'm 15 years old." "Hmm..15 is a good age to be in." "Why do you say that?" "Well not much responsibility and you're in high school at what? 9th grade right?" "Yup 9th grade!" "Good for you! Being seventeen isn't that easy." "I thought being a seventeen gives you time to fool around and stuff.." "Nope not for me. Only for the ones who want to take up easy classes get to do that but my parents made me take the difficult ones." "What a bummer..." "....." They walked till they reached Serena's door and the porch lights were on and so was the light inside. *I guess Luna turned it on for me. I wonder how she did that?* "Soo..this is where you live," "Yea.." "Well..I should go now. See ya tommorrow kay, Sere?" Par said turning back. "Yea see ya! good night Par!" Serena said waving and then turned towards the door to open it with her keys. "Ja ne! Good night Sere may you have wonderful dreams" Par called out waving towards her and then continued on home. "Good night.." Serena whispered as she saw him turn the corner. Then she went inside and closed the door behind her and the porch light turned off now. ******************************** *BRRRRIIIIIINNNGGGG* *BRRRRRINNNNGG* *BBBBRRRRIIINNNGGG* "AHHHH!!! LUNA WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!! IT'S SUNDAY YOU KNOW!!" yelled a bewildered Serena in her pink pj's. "Well I want you to explain to me why you came home so late! You got me worried! Plus I want an explanation about why you seem different nowadays! Like not being in bed when I woke up to see that you weren't in bed! Also how come there's a golden diamond flute on your desk table? You don't play the flute also there's no kind of golden flute that has diamond designs on it! I never heard of it before." "What's so shocking about that? I just took up more responsibility that's all! Also I became a hospital volunteer at the Crossroads Hospital that's why I came home so late. As for the flute well..I descided to take it up and a lady in the gift shop had one stored away and descided to give it to me for a very low price! Isn't that nice?" Serena said sitting up and giving her answers as much as she can hide but not lying to her. "Hmmm...well that seems a bit right. But come on! It also doesn't sound like you at all! Who are you and what have you done with the real Serena!" Luna said putting up claws close to her face. Making Serena worried and scared as she looked at the shiny, sharp claws. "Uhmm...*sweatdrop* Luna..it's me really! I've just been through a lot that made me want to change to a more responsible person that's all!" Serena said getting more nervous. "I don't believe you..it's not like Serena to be responsible unless it has something to do with your personal life. Is it? If so explain now!" Luna said inching her sharp claws closer to Serena's throat. "*gulp* Ahh....okay okay yea it does have something to do with myself okay! It does! It does! It has something to do with me!" Serena said scared now as the claws got closer to her throat. "What is it?" "It's with the scouts and me..Luna..it happened to days ago at night time on the fight. I came in late and did practically nothing while the other scouts beat it. Then we got into a fight after that! OKAY!" "Why didn't you help them?!?" Luna said bringing her claws down onto the bed and a bit calmer now. "Well..I did buy them some time at least! Plus I was tired and I was gathering up my energy to do the attack with my Sailor Moon form!" Serena said. "okayy... so what happened after the fight?" "Uhmm..I sort of yhmm...quitonthemandIhaven'treallyspokentothemafterthat."Serena explained. "What?I didn't catch that." "I said that I quit on them and I haven't spoken really spoken to them after that." Serena said. "WHAT?!!?! You're the princess they're your portectors! How can you do that?" "That's my point Luna! They don't realise how important and valuable I am to them! I want them to know that I'm important in the team and not some clutsy crybaby that is a ditz at school in the day. And a no good superhero leader at night that does speeches and finishes monsters. So I just descided to change my image by doing my best now. Also I can get more rest this way. Not having to worry about meetings or anything like that!" Serena explained to a shocked Luna. "I suppose you should take some time off from them but if they need help or if Sailor Moon is needed you will show up okay?" "Of course Luna!" "Good! Now go and feed your hungry pet!" "Okay! I need to get up anyways. I have to meet Par." Serena said standing up. "Who's Par?" "A friend of mine.." "I don't know..." "Don't worry Luna I can take care of myself!" With that Serena went and got dressed and washed for the day. Brushed her hair carefully and beautifully till it shined like the sun. Then she tied it up in her odangos and put on a white tanktop with pink butterflies in the middle and pink shorts. She then wore her white socks and white running shoes on. Then came down to make breakfast for Luna and herself. Since she obviouly couldn't cook (since of course you know Serena can't if you watch Sailor Moon. If you haven't watch it!) they had cat food, that was stashed away in the bottom cabinet, for Luna and cereal for Serena that was on the top shelf on the kitchen. ************************** *DING DONG* *DING DONG* "Coming!!" called out Serena sas she ran down from the stairs. "Becareful Sere we don't know if we can trust him," warned the protective black cat. "Oh Luna! You're such a worry wart," said Serena before she opened up the door. "Hey Par! So where are we going?" said Serena as she opened the door with a cautious cat next to her. "Over at the park. I know a place there that hardly anyone ever goes too. I think it's safe to go there," responded Par as he looked at the cat. *That cat is a bit odd..maybe just my imagination* "Soo..you have a cat? Looks..different from the ones I usually see.." said Par. "Oh! Luna? I found her about a year ago. Yea..she is different which makes me want to keep her more!" responded Serena. *I can't tell him the truth about Luna yet. I hardly know the guy to trust him about my real identity* "Reasonable. Shall we go?" answered Par. "Sure!" said Serena walking out and closing the door as Luna ran out as well. "Is Luna going with us?" asked Par. "Noo..she's probably going out to look for something to do or something because yesterday she was locked up in the house all alone," answered Serena pointedly glaring at Luna. "oh.." "......." Then they came across a car, a sports car. It was a red 2000 porche, very new, very expensive. "Wow! You got a sports car! Man this must have cost a fortune!" gasped Serena looking at the shiny, red porsche with glowing eyes. "*laughs* Don't worry about it! It's nothing really! Get in." laughed par as he opened the door for Serena. "Nothing?!?! This thing probably costs a fortune to get!" said Serena as she sitted herself on the leather seat. "Really I just got this as a present from my parents." responded Par sitting down and starting the car. "oh..so then your parents are rich." said Serena. "..oh Sere.."laughed Par driving off. "What did I say?" "..nothing.." *Why doesn't he talk about his parents much? I wonder why?* to be continued.... ************** I didn't really feel up to writing about this much sorry about that..I didn't know what to put in again! >.< You'll have to wait for the next fic or something sorry!
