Mixed Time
She watches him from afar. He was playing basket ball, laughing with
his friends. Darien Chiba, the most popular guy in the whole school. She sits
there and watches him. His black hair, his blue eyes, the way he moves, she
loved it all. She misses the way he used to hold her; she missed every single
little thing that he did to her. She missed his warmth, his touch, everything.
*Sigh*
'Why doesn't he remember me?'
Then she finally stopped watching him and started to walk home.
'Home? This is not the place I belong, not without Endy that is.'
She finally reached her lonely apartment. She lives in this world alone...
Other than her loyal advisor.
"Luna... tadaima," She said.
"Hard day at school?" asked the cat.
She opened a can of cat food. She nodded.
"It's the same thing every day. Why can't he remember?"
"Just be patient Serenity-sama"
*Sigh*
"I know Luna, I know"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Next day
"Did you hear? The school dance is a week away!" some passers-by said.
"Oh really?! I wish Darien Chiba would ask me out!" the girl answered
and giggled.
*Sigh*
Serenity stopped listening to the conversation. 'If he would only remember...'
She opened her locker and started to put her books in. Serenity Moon,
the most intelligent student in the whole class. Except, of course, Darien Chiba.
Serenity's nickname was the queen of Ice. She turned every single guy that asked
her out down. She just can't stand dating any other guy other than Endymion.
She closed her locker and went to class. She sat down and waited until
the teacher came in and everybody to settle down. Then Darien Chiba came. He sat
right behind her, though he never spoke to her at all. She never spoke to him too, she
couldn't bear it.
"Settle down class!" The teacher said.
Everybody stopped talking and went to their seats. They couldn't say a
single word. Last time, they had to run 2 miles, just because they wouldn't stop.
Well, now they learned their lesson.
"Today we will be studying the Stars...."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
45 mins later...
"There will be a test tomorrow, study hard! Since I trust you, I will
not give any homework today. Class dismissed." Then the teacher walked out the door.
The students started to talk again. Some are studying for the test tomorrow.
None of them can leave the room until the bell rings.
Serenity got her notes out. She examined them.
'I know I wasn't a good student, I get lower grades than the scouts, but I
did pay attention to the lesson.'
She flips the pages of her note book until the blank pages. She took out a
pencil and started drawing.
"Nice drawing..." said a voice. It sounded too familiar.
'Can that be? Is it possible? Nah... It can't be... I must be imagining things'
She dared to look back.
Darien Chiba was looking at her drawing. Serenity stared at him. Then she
looked back at her drawing.
She didn't realize that she was drawing him. He was in his full armor. Well,
at least him and her. Except that you can't really tell that it's her. The drawing
was Endymion looking up at the balcony of where she was. One of her favorite memory.
In the picture, there was the earth on the sky instead of the moon.
Serenity was blushing furiously.
"I didn't know you can draw..."
"Umm, yea well, this is just a doodle. I do it when I'm bored. It's
nothing special."
"You call this a doodle? It's amazing..."
"Ummm, thank you..."
"Darien! Let's go man. Play ball," Andrew said. Andrew was Darien's best
friend. They stick together. Which means, Andrew is the second most popular in
the whole school.
"Okay, be right there. It's a nice drawing, you are talented. Got to go.
See you around," He said and left the direction that Andrew went.
Serenity watched him go.
'I guessed I must have missed the bell.'
Then she went to her locker and took her things. There wasn't many, she
just took out 3 notebooks, a pencil box, and her books.
*Sigh*
Then she went past the basket ball court and watches him for a while. He
was laughing again as usual. She couldn't help it but to smile.
'I should be happy when he is... but I can't help it but to miss him'
Then she headed home.
'Why do I have to live in this world alone...?'
She reached her apartment. A two bedroom apartment with a counter kitchen.
She took out her keys and opened the door. Then she walked in.
"Tadaima"
"Serenity-sama? Is that you?" Luna asks
"Who else can it be Luna? By the way, I'm going out tonight. So you can
look for the scouts alone."
"Is it a date? Who are you dating?"
"It's not a date Luna. I just want some time alone to my self. I'll be
taking a walk to the park."
"Serenity-sama, what about your homework?"
"I have no homework Luna. We have a test tomorrow, so then the teacher
is not giving us any."
"Aren't you going to study?"
"Its astronomy. I know it by heart, Luna." Serenity simply said.
"Serenity-sama..."
"Fine. I'll study when I get home..."
"Serenity-sama..."
"Luna, I know I didn't study well back then... but I did pay attention."
"Okay... fine"
"Thanks Luna."
Serenity picks up Luna and hugged her. Then she put Luna back down and
started to head out the door.
"Don't be out too long" Luna said. Too bad Serenity is already out the door.
"Serenity-sama! How 'bout my food?!"
No one answered her.
"Serenity-sama!!!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serenity
She reached the park. She sat down at her favorite spot. It was a bench
in front of a lake that is surrounded by roses. It was a full Moon tonight. The
Moon is reflected on the lake.
She looked up in the sky. The big silver moon. Home. Then a tear rolled
down her blue eyes. She didn't bother to wipe it away. She missed everybody so much.
"Mom, why am I the only one? Why didn't you come with me? I know you
brought Endy back... But what good does it do when all I can do is watch him from
a far? He doesn't remember me at all... He probably doesn't want to..." She
knew it in her heart that she was lying to her self.
"Mom, when can I come back to the moon?" she whispered. Then her tears
are falling again. The water fall is back.
Serenity sat there quietly for some time. Tears was just falling like
there is no tomorrow. She just kept her gaze on the silver moon.
"Serenity?" a voice said.
It can only be one person that has that voice. She didn't even looked
back to see who it was.
"Darien?"
"How did you know it was me?" he asked suprised.
"I can tell by your voice..."
"Oh... So, What is a girl like you doing out side here at this time of night?"
"A girl like me?" she looked at him surprised.
"Yea, what are you doing out here alone by your self?"
"What time is it?" she questioned.
"Around 8:30"
"Ahhh, Luna is going to kill me!"
"What are you doing here though?"
"Umm..."
"Why are your eyes red? Have you been crying?" he noticed.
Serenity touched her eyes with her cold hands.
"Ummm, it's nothing..."
"Did your boyfriend do this?" he felt a little bit enraged.
"No... I don't have a boyfriend" She replied with sadness and longing in her eyes.
"Are you okay?" he wanted to make sure.
"Yea... I'm fine" Serenity gave him a bright smile.
"So, today... I was about to ask you a question..." he nervously mentioned.
"Then ask now..."
"I was a little bit afraid you would say no..." Darien chuckled nervously.
"Well, you never know what I'm going to say unless you ask."
"Ok... Just hear me out first okay?"
"Okay..."
"You know about the Dance that's coming up right?"
"Yes, what about it?"
"Well, ummm, I was thinking if you would like to got with me to the dance..."
'What? Endy? Is this a joke?'
"Is this a joke? Is it some kind of a dare?"
"Why would you think that?"
"Because..."
"Yes, because of what?"
"Well, you ARE the most popular guy in school..."
"Oh, I see..." he looked a little bit hurt.
"Yea, well, most girls gets hurt like this you know..."
"Really? Do you think I'm that kind of guys?"
"Hmmm..." 'Endy? I don't think so...'
"Well?"
"Really?" she hoped.
"No, it's all clean. Nothing attached."
"Then... I would love to go..."
"Really? Then I'll pick you up at 6:00 at your house."
"I live in an apartment. It's that one," Serenity pointed at her apartment building.
"Great..."
"In number 328."
"Okay, so 6:00? Is that okay with you?"
"I thought the dance doesn't start until 7:30..."
"Well, lets get dinner too..."
"Sure!" Serenity was smiling.
"Okay, well I have to go now. I'll see you at school tomorrow." Darien waved
at her and disappears with the night.
'Luna wait till you hear about this!'
Serenity walked home. Her heart was beating fast.
'All this time, I was worried that he wouldn't remember... But he doesn't
have to remember, to ask me out!'
Finally, after what feels like forever in the elevator, she got out. She walked
to her apartment and took out her keys. The door then swung open.
"Tadaima!" Serenity yelled.
"Serenity-sama, you are back... where have you been?"
"I told you Luna, I went to the park... Lun-"
"Do you know what time it is?!" Luna yelled.
"Umm... around 8:40?" Serenity was a little bit surprise.
"Young Lady, you should be more responsible!" Luna advised.
"But Luna! My curfew is 9:00. I'm not late!"
"I did not asked you if you were late did I?"
"Umm... no"
"Princess Serenity of the moon, if you leave, would you please be more
responsible and feed ME!"
"Opps, hehehe. Sorry... I forgot Luna..."
"Well, just get me the food."
Serenity went to the kitchen right away. She took out the cat food and opened it.
Then she poured it out to Luna's bowl.
Luna started to chew the food.
"Luna! Luna! Luna! Luna!"
*cough* *cough*
"What is it?"
"Guess who I talked to in the park?"
"Queen Serenity?"
"No... It was Endymion!!"
"Oh, what did he say? Did he remember?"
"No... He asked me out to the dance!"
"Dance?"
"Yes, the schools dance. It's coming up this Friday."
*Sigh* "Oh, If I remember correctly, I thought you don't like Balls..."
"Well, this is with Endymion!" she exclaimed.
"What's so different about it?" Luna asked.
Serenity glared at her for a minute. Then she stared to gather the things
she will need for shopping.
"I need to get a new dress Luna," Serenity said ignoring her.
"Serenity-sama, are you really going?"
"Yes."
"Isn't it a little dangerous?"
"Luna... I've been watching him. I missed him too much, Luna."
"Well, then go shopping tomorrow! Most of the shops are already closed.
Can't you wait?"
Serenity stopped. Then she looked at the clock. '9, already?!'
"Fine, I will go tomorrow... Right after school... So then I won't be
home till late 6."
"6? Is that really safe? A princess wondering around until dark in
the city of Tokyo?"
"Luna... I'm not-" she hesitated. Then she continued slowly in a
soft voice, "a princess anymore..."
"You will always be a princess to me..." then Luna gave her a very
cute smile that the cat can give.
Serenity smiled. Then she picks Luna up again and started to head for
the bedroom. Then she set Luna down on her bed. Serenity sits down on her desk.
Then she stared at the full moon.
Luna just watches her. She gets a little worried about Serenity sometimes.
She is her advisor, the most trusted too. Then Luna finally said," Go change into
your night dress."
Serenity didn't seem to hear Luna. She just kept on staring at space.
"Serenity-sama..."
Serenity still didn't move.
"Serenity-sama!"
"Oh, what is it Luna?" Serenity finally answers. Her gaze remains at the Moon.
"Go and change, its already time to go to sleep."
Serenity didn't respond again. Luna sighed.
"Serenity-sama! Go change into your night dress!" Luna had no more
patience for the night burst out.
"Geez, Luna, you don't have to yell at me! I can hear perfectly fine!" Serenity
finally looked at Luna. She was glaring at her, as if Luna just shatters her daydream.
"Well, I've been calling your name for 5 minutes! It looked like you
were out in space..."
"Oh, then I'll go change right now..." Serenity headed for the closet. She took
out her clothes that were in there. Then she went in the bathroom.
"I'm going to take a shower Luna!" Serenity yelled. She wanted to make sure
that Luna hears it.
Luna did not hear it. She was fast asleep in the comfortable bed.
When Serenity got out of the steaming shower, she looked at Luna. Luna's face
looks so peaceful. Then she climbed into bed. She glances at the moon one more time.
"Oyasumi, okasaan," Serenity whispered.
Then she drifts into the dream land.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Morning
Serenity woke up. Then she suddenly remembers her dream. She smiled at the
memory. She glances at the clock. Her eyes widen from surprise.
"LUNA!!!!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP?????!!!!!!!!! I'M SOOOOOO LATE!!!!!!!"
Luna came into the room. Then she glanced at the clock.
"Its only 7:15 in the morning." Luna replied.
"LUNA!!!" Serenity panic.
"Calm down! School doesn't start until 8:00 o'clock. Besides I already tried
to wake you up... Why are you so worried?"
"I'm going to be late!" Serenity jumps out of bed. Luckily Luna dodges her.
Serenity almost stepped on her.
"Serenity-sama, be careful on where you step."
"Opps sorry Luna..." She rushed into the bathroom and started the water.
Then she got out again and ran to her closet. She took out her uniform and then
ran in the bathroom again. Serenity slammed the door.
*sigh*'Sometimes, I just don't get her... Serenity-sama, what are you thinking?'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
25 minutes later
"Luna! Where did you put my bag?"
"I did not put it anywhere! It's right next to your shoes!"
"Okay, thanks Luna! Bye!"
Serenity grabbed her bag and her shoe, ran out the door while putting on her shoes.
"Serenity-sa..."
The door slammed.
"ma... SERENITY-SAMA!!! What about my food?!" Luna yelled at the door.
"Not again!" Luna groans.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serenity
She ran all the way to school. She usually wakes up at 6:45. Today she had
to rush all the way. Then it just hit her like a ton of bricks!
'Oh no! I forgot to study for astronomy test! Luna is going to kill me!
I better study quickly at school'
She made it at school. She went to her locker and put her books in there.
She took out her astronomy book and the rest of the things she will need for the
first two periods.
Just then the first bell rang. She quickly closed her locker and started
heading for the first period of the day. 'Here we go again!'
She sat down at her desk. Then she looked around, most of the students
were already there. Too bad Endy wasn't there yet. So she took out her astronomy book.
*Sigh* "At least I made it..."
"Hey, dude! Did you study for the test?" Andrew started saying.
"Oh, which test?" Darien replied as he was coming into the classroom.
"Astronomy"
"Uhh... no"
"I heard its going to be hard! Some rumors said there are more than 50
questions on it!"
"Oh then I better study now..." Darien started to head for his desk.
He sat down and took out his astronomy book too.
Then he looked ahead of him.
"Ohayo" he simply said.
Serenity turned around. Then she found that Darien was looking at her.
"Ohayo..." She gave him a big smile.
"Did you study for the test?"
"Ummm, no... I forgot..." Serenity blushed.
Darien chuckled. "I did too."
Then Serenity giggled.
"So are we still on for the dance?" Darien asked. His voice seems to
be a little bit louder. Then all the girls' head turn to him.
"Yea." Serenity replied. Then all the guys looked at her. Every single
guy wants to go to the dance with her, but they are all afraid to be turned down.
Then the talking level started to increase. The girls envied her so much.
Just then the bell rang. The teacher walks in. Luckily some one saw it or else they
have to run again. Right then you can hear a pin drop.
"Did everybody study for the test?"
No body answered.
"Well, then I guess we will find out soon enough."
The teacher began to take roll.
"Hmm, six students missing? Is this because of the test?" The teacher frowned.
"Clear your desks! Put your astronomy book away, the test is about to start.
Is there any questions?"
More than ten hands flew to the air.
"Well, lets start with you." the teacher pointed at the student in the very back.
"Sir, how many questions will there be in the test?"
"One hundred" the teacher said like it was nothing at all. Some of the hands
went down. Then he pointed at another student.
"Sir, will this test affect our grade?"
"It's a test. What do you think? It will affect 35% of your grade." More hands
went down. So he pointed at another student.
"How much time will you give us?"
"About... one and a half hour." The students gasp. That is not enough time for
them to finish a test. Then he pointed at another student.
"Is there retakes?"
"Depends how many students will pass. The less students that pass, there will
be more chances of retakes. If no student pass at all, there will be no retakes," then
the teacher pointed at a student.
"What will happen at those students that are absent?"
"Well, since you are here, you don't need to worry
about that. Since you asked, then I will answer you. They are
not getting a chance of taking this test, unless their parents
call right now and inform me that their child is sick and need
to take that test. Then, I will personally come to their house
and bring the test with me and watch them taking it right in
front of me."
"Sir, is there any extra credits?"
"Of course! Talk to me about extra credits after
class... Is there anymore questions?"
No more hands in the air.
"Okay the test will begin! After you finish, put it on
my desk and you will be excused and have a free period! As soon
as you get it, you may get started. Is Serenity Moon and Darien
Chiba here?"
"Yes?" they both said at the same time.
"You may be excused for this test."
"Excused me?"
*sigh* "Both of you do not need to take this test! You
may have the period off..."
"Why?"
"Don't ask me. You have both been excused for school
for the rest of the day. You will not be count absent for any
of your classes. Tomorrow you will have a little meeting with
the principle and there will be no assignments due tomorrow."
"Yes sir." Darien answered.
Serenity and Darien started gathering their things and
left. Every eye in the room was watching them leave the class.
"Now let's get this test going," Serenity could hear the
teacher said as she left the room.
She started to head for her locker. Darien followed her.
She opened her locker and put in her books. Darien opened his
too. His locker was four lockers away from hers.
"So what should we do for the rest of the day?" Darien
started saying.
"Umm, well, I was going to go shopping after school..."
Serenity answered him.
"Well, can I come with you?"
"Sure"
"Where should we go?"
Serenity smiled. "I don't know... I haven't been shopping
for a long time. I still need to buy a dress for the dance."
"How about we go and get food and then go shopping at
the mall?" Darien suggested.
"Okay, but how will we get there?"
"Follow me..."
Serenity closed her locker and started following him.
They went out to the parking lot. Darien started to take out
keys. Then he headed for a car that has the color of a red
rose. Then he went and opened it. Serenity stopped and examines
the car. Darien went on the other side of the car and opened
the door for her.
"This is your car?" Serenity stared at the car with
unbelievable eyes.
"Yea, come on."
Serenity went in and sat down in the car.
"Nice car!" She exclaim.
"Took me a long time to get it." Darien started the
car and went.
"Oh really? How long?" Serenity questioned.
"About a couple of years working," he simply reply.
"It's that expensive?"
"Not really. I got this car just this year. Gas is really
expensive though..."
"So this car is all yours?" she said amazed.
"Yup."
"Hey Darien..."
"Yea? What is it?"
"Do you like the Moon?" she suddenly questions
"Yes, for some reason I do... Serenity, what's your
favorite flower?" it was his turn to ask a question.
"Hmmm, a red rose..."
"Me too"
"I know..."
"You do?"
"Oh... hehehehe, I saw one of your books with a red rose
on it..." Serenity tried to escape from his question.
The car started to slow down. Then Darien perfectly parked
the car. He pulled the break and turned off the engine.
"We are here..."
"Okay," Serenity got out of the car.
"Where do you want to eat?" He questioned.
"Any where is fine with me"
'As long as I'm with you' Serenity added silently.
"How bout there?" Darien pointed at the building.
"Sure" Serenity smiled and followed him.
They went in and sat down near the window. The waiter came
and gave them the menu.
"I want a cheese burger with chocolate milkshake," Serenity said.
"I'll have the same" Darien said to the waiter.
Then the waiter took the menus and left.
"You know, I wasn't sure you would want to go with me..." Darien said.
"And why would you think that?"
"Well, first of all, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met."
Serenity's cheeks turned crimson red.
"Second of all, you are the most popular in school."
"That's not true! You are the most popular in school," Serenity denied.
"Yes it is true. All the guys talks about you all day..."
"Really? How about you?"
Darien chuckles. "Well, I'll tell you some day..."
Serenity laughs.
"Third of all, you have turned every single guy that ever asked
you out down."
"Well, there is a reason for that one, okay?" she smiled.
"What is it?"
"Hehehehe. I don't like them." Serenity giggled.
"Oh? Then what is the reason for you going out with me?" he enquire.
Serenity blushes. She was hoping he wouldn't ask her that.
"Well, what's the reason you asked me out?" she shot back.
Darien was silent.
"Your food is here." The waiter said.
"Let's eat," Darien said.
"Itadakimasu!" Serenity said.
Serenity already adopted to the present. From a princess to a normal
teenage-girl with a talking cat. Plus her longing for everybody that she knew.
Serenity started eating. Darien did too.
"When was the last time we did this Endy?" Serenity said without thinking.
"Endy?"Darien said.
Then Serenity just realizes her mistake.
"Ummm..."
"Who is Endy?"
'What am I going to do? I can't just said he is nobody...'
"Endy is the prince from my dreams..." she gave him the closest truth.
"Dream?"
"Yea and you look a lot like him..."
"Hahaha... what do you mean by that?"
"Well, he has black hair, blue eyes, and very handsome," Serenity said.
"Yea, well, are you in love with this prince? Because I might get jealous
of him," Darien asked jokingly.
Serenity was stunned.
"Jealous? Why would you be jealous of him?" Serenity forced out a laugh.
"Well, if you do love him, anybody would get jealous to see you love
someone else. You see, just like the all the guys in school," he pointed out.
"Well, do you like me?"
"Of course!"
"Since when?" Serenity asked.
"Since... The first time I saw you." Darien said seriously.
"Then why didn't you asked me out then?"
"Well, you were quiet, and just can't speak to a princess like that?"
"Princess?"
"Well, how bout I become the prince of your dreams, and you become
the princess that you always are."
"You think of me as a princess?" Serenity was very surprise.
"Do you think I'm fit to be a prince?"
'Endymion!'
"Of course! Prince Endymion..." Then she giggled.
"Then would you be my lady, Princess Serenity?"
Then Serenity stopped giggling. Her face was serious.
"A name I haven't heard for a long time..." she whispered.
"Oh?"
"Well, I used to play royalty..." Serenity said hoping he would believe her.
"Then I shall call you Princess Serenity for the rest of the time..."
"Can I call you Prince Endymion?"
"That's a strange name... Just like Endymion the shepherded and Selene
the Goddess of the Moon."
"You know that legend?"
"Yea, I got interested in it..."
"I like that legend too..."
"I shall be called "Prince Endymion of the Earth" Darien said playfully.
Serenity was giving him a bright smile. She liked him no matter if he
remembers or not.
"My Prince, come and rescue me!"
"I will be coming my princess"
Serenity and Darien was laughing.

Mixed Time
She watches him from afar. He was playing basket ball, laughing with
his friends. Darien Chiba, the most popular guy in the whole school. She sits
there and watches him. His black hair, his blue eyes, the way he moves, she
loved it all. She misses the way he used to hold her; she missed every single
little thing that he did to her. She missed his warmth, his touch, everything.
*Sigh*
'Why doesn't he remember me?'
Then she finally stopped watching him and started to walk home.
'Home? This is not the place I belong, not without Endy that is.'
She finally reached her lonely apartment. She lives in this world alone...
Other than her loyal advisor.
"Luna... tadaima," She said.
"Hard day at school?" asked the cat.
She opened a can of cat food. She nodded.
"It's the same thing every day. Why can't he remember?"
"Just be patient Serenity-sama"
*Sigh*
"I know Luna, I know"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Next day
"Did you hear? The school dance is a week away!" some passers-by said.
"Oh really?! I wish Darien Chiba would ask me out!" the girl answered
and giggled.
*Sigh*
Serenity stopped listening to the conversation. 'If he would only remember...'
She opened her locker and started to put her books in. Serenity Moon,
the most intelligent student in the whole class. Except, of course, Darien Chiba.
Serenity's nickname was the queen of Ice. She turned every single guy that asked
her out down. She just can't stand dating any other guy other than Endymion.
She closed her locker and went to class. She sat down and waited until
the teacher came in and everybody to settle down. Then Darien Chiba came. He sat
right behind her, though he never spoke to her at all. She never spoke to him too, she
couldn't bear it.
"Settle down class!" The teacher said.
Everybody stopped talking and went to their seats. They couldn't say a
single word. Last time, they had to run 2 miles, just because they wouldn't stop.
Well, now they learned their lesson.
"Today we will be studying the Stars...."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
45 mins later...
"There will be a test tomorrow, study hard! Since I trust you, I will
not give any homework today. Class dismissed." Then the teacher walked out the door.
The students started to talk again. Some are studying for the test tomorrow.
None of them can leave the room until the bell rings.
Serenity got her notes out. She examined them.
'I know I wasn't a good student, I get lower grades than the scouts, but I
did pay attention to the lesson.'
She flips the pages of her note book until the blank pages. She took out a
pencil and started drawing.
"Nice drawing..." said a voice. It sounded too familiar.
'Can that be? Is it possible? Nah... It can't be... I must be imagining things'
She dared to look back.
Darien Chiba was looking at her drawing. Serenity stared at him. Then she
looked back at her drawing.
She didn't realize that she was drawing him. He was in his full armor. Well,
at least him and her. Except that you can't really tell that it's her. The drawing
was Endymion looking up at the balcony of where she was. One of her favorite memory.
In the picture, there was the earth on the sky instead of the moon.
Serenity was blushing furiously.
"I didn't know you can draw..."
"Umm, yea well, this is just a doodle. I do it when I'm bored. It's
nothing special."
"You call this a doodle? It's amazing..."
"Ummm, thank you..."
"Darien! Let's go man. Play ball," Andrew said. Andrew was Darien's best
friend. They stick together. Which means, Andrew is the second most popular in
the whole school.
"Okay, be right there. It's a nice drawing, you are talented. Got to go.
See you around," He said and left the direction that Andrew went.
Serenity watched him go.
'I guessed I must have missed the bell.'
Then she went to her locker and took her things. There wasn't many, she
just took out 3 notebooks, a pencil box, and her books.
*Sigh*
Then she went past the basket ball court and watches him for a while. He
was laughing again as usual. She couldn't help it but to smile.
'I should be happy when he is... but I can't help it but to miss him'
Then she headed home.
'Why do I have to live in this world alone...?'
She reached her apartment. A two bedroom apartment with a counter kitchen.
She took out her keys and opened the door. Then she walked in.
"Tadaima"
"Serenity-sama? Is that you?" Luna asks
"Who else can it be Luna? By the way, I'm going out tonight. So you can
look for the scouts alone."
"Is it a date? Who are you dating?"
"It's not a date Luna. I just want some time alone to my self. I'll be
taking a walk to the park."
"Serenity-sama, what about your homework?"
"I have no homework Luna. We have a test tomorrow, so then the teacher
is not giving us any."
"Aren't you going to study?"
"Its astronomy. I know it by heart, Luna." Serenity simply said.
"Serenity-sama..."
"Fine. I'll study when I get home..."
"Serenity-sama..."
"Luna, I know I didn't study well back then... but I did pay attention."
"Okay... fine"
"Thanks Luna."
Serenity picks up Luna and hugged her. Then she put Luna back down and
started to head out the door.
"Don't be out too long" Luna said. Too bad Serenity is already out the door.
"Serenity-sama! How 'bout my food?!"
No one answered her.
"Serenity-sama!!!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serenity
She reached the park. She sat down at her favorite spot. It was a bench
in front of a lake that is surrounded by roses. It was a full Moon tonight. The
Moon is reflected on the lake.
She looked up in the sky. The big silver moon. Home. Then a tear rolled
down her blue eyes. She didn't bother to wipe it away. She missed everybody so much.
"Mom, why am I the only one? Why didn't you come with me? I know you
brought Endy back... But what good does it do when all I can do is watch him from
a far? He doesn't remember me at all... He probably doesn't want to..." She
knew it in her heart that she was lying to her self.
"Mom, when can I come back to the moon?" she whispered. Then her tears
are falling again. The water fall is back.
Serenity sat there quietly for some time. Tears was just falling like
there is no tomorrow. She just kept her gaze on the silver moon.
"Serenity?" a voice said.
It can only be one person that has that voice. She didn't even looked
back to see who it was.
"Darien?"
"How did you know it was me?" he asked suprised.
"I can tell by your voice..."
"Oh... So, What is a girl like you doing out side here at this time of night?"
"A girl like me?" she looked at him surprised.
"Yea, what are you doing out here alone by your self?"
"What time is it?" she questioned.
"Around 8:30"
"Ahhh, Luna is going to kill me!"
"What are you doing here though?"
"Umm..."
"Why are your eyes red? Have you been crying?" he noticed.
Serenity touched her eyes with her cold hands.
"Ummm, it's nothing..."
"Did your boyfriend do this?" he felt a little bit enraged.
"No... I don't have a boyfriend" She replied with sadness and longing in her eyes.
"Are you okay?" he wanted to make sure.
"Yea... I'm fine" Serenity gave him a bright smile.
"So, today... I was about to ask you a question..." he nervously mentioned.
"Then ask now..."
"I was a little bit afraid you would say no..." Darien chuckled nervously.
"Well, you never know what I'm going to say unless you ask."
"Ok... Just hear me out first okay?"
"Okay..."
"You know about the Dance that's coming up right?"
"Yes, what about it?"
"Well, ummm, I was thinking if you would like to got with me to the dance..."
'What? Endy? Is this a joke?'
"Is this a joke? Is it some kind of a dare?"
"Why would you think that?"
"Because..."
"Yes, because of what?"
"Well, you ARE the most popular guy in school..."
"Oh, I see..." he looked a little bit hurt.
"Yea, well, most girls gets hurt like this you know..."
"Really? Do you think I'm that kind of guys?"
"Hmmm..." 'Endy? I don't think so...'
"Well?"
"Really?" she hoped.
"No, it's all clean. Nothing attached."
"Then... I would love to go..."
"Really? Then I'll pick you up at 6:00 at your house."
"I live in an apartment. It's that one," Serenity pointed at her apartment building.
"Great..."
"In number 328."
"Okay, so 6:00? Is that okay with you?"
"I thought the dance doesn't start until 7:30..."
"Well, lets get dinner too..."
"Sure!" Serenity was smiling.
"Okay, well I have to go now. I'll see you at school tomorrow." Darien waved
at her and disappears with the night.
'Luna wait till you hear about this!'
Serenity walked home. Her heart was beating fast.
'All this time, I was worried that he wouldn't remember... But he doesn't
have to remember, to ask me out!'
Finally, after what feels like forever in the elevator, she got out. She walked
to her apartment and took out her keys. The door then swung open.
"Tadaima!" Serenity yelled.
"Serenity-sama, you are back... where have you been?"
"I told you Luna, I went to the park... Lun-"
"Do you know what time it is?!" Luna yelled.
"Umm... around 8:40?" Serenity was a little bit surprise.
"Young Lady, you should be more responsible!" Luna advised.
"But Luna! My curfew is 9:00. I'm not late!"
"I did not asked you if you were late did I?"
"Umm... no"
"Princess Serenity of the moon, if you leave, would you please be more
responsible and feed ME!"
"Opps, hehehe. Sorry... I forgot Luna..."
"Well, just get me the food."
Serenity went to the kitchen right away. She took out the cat food and opened it.
Then she poured it out to Luna's bowl.
Luna started to chew the food.
"Luna! Luna! Luna! Luna!"
*cough* *cough*
"What is it?"
"Guess who I talked to in the park?"
"Queen Serenity?"
"No... It was Endymion!!"
"Oh, what did he say? Did he remember?"
"No... He asked me out to the dance!"
"Dance?"
"Yes, the schools dance. It's coming up this Friday."
*Sigh* "Oh, If I remember correctly, I thought you don't like Balls..."
"Well, this is with Endymion!" she exclaimed.
"What's so different about it?" Luna asked.
Serenity glared at her for a minute. Then she stared to gather the things
she will need for shopping.
"I need to get a new dress Luna," Serenity said ignoring her.
"Serenity-sama, are you really going?"
"Yes."
"Isn't it a little dangerous?"
"Luna... I've been watching him. I missed him too much, Luna."
"Well, then go shopping tomorrow! Most of the shops are already closed.
Can't you wait?"
Serenity stopped. Then she looked at the clock. '9, already?!'
"Fine, I will go tomorrow... Right after school... So then I won't be
home till late 6."
"6? Is that really safe? A princess wondering around until dark in
the city of Tokyo?"
"Luna... I'm not-" she hesitated. Then she continued slowly in a
soft voice, "a princess anymore..."
"You will always be a princess to me..." then Luna gave her a very
cute smile that the cat can give.
Serenity smiled. Then she picks Luna up again and started to head for
the bedroom. Then she set Luna down on her bed. Serenity sits down on her desk.
Then she stared at the full moon.
Luna just watches her. She gets a little worried about Serenity sometimes.
She is her advisor, the most trusted too. Then Luna finally said," Go change into
your night dress."
Serenity didn't seem to hear Luna. She just kept on staring at space.
"Serenity-sama..."
Serenity still didn't move.
"Serenity-sama!"
"Oh, what is it Luna?" Serenity finally answers. Her gaze remains at the Moon.
"Go and change, its already time to go to sleep."
Serenity didn't respond again. Luna sighed.
"Serenity-sama! Go change into your night dress!" Luna had no more
patience for the night burst out.
"Geez, Luna, you don't have to yell at me! I can hear perfectly fine!" Serenity
finally looked at Luna. She was glaring at her, as if Luna just shatters her daydream.
"Well, I've been calling your name for 5 minutes! It looked like you
were out in space..."
"Oh, then I'll go change right now..." Serenity headed for the closet. She took
out her clothes that were in there. Then she went in the bathroom.
"I'm going to take a shower Luna!" Serenity yelled. She wanted to make sure
that Luna hears it.
Luna did not hear it. She was fast asleep in the comfortable bed.
When Serenity got out of the steaming shower, she looked at Luna. Luna's face
looks so peaceful. Then she climbed into bed. She glances at the moon one more time.
"Oyasumi, okasaan," Serenity whispered.
Then she drifts into the dream land.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Morning
Serenity woke up. Then she suddenly remembers her dream. She smiled at the
memory. She glances at the clock. Her eyes widen from surprise.
"LUNA!!!!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP?????!!!!!!!!! I'M SOOOOOO LATE!!!!!!!"
Luna came into the room. Then she glanced at the clock.
"Its only 7:15 in the morning." Luna replied.
"LUNA!!!" Serenity panic.
"Calm down! School doesn't start until 8:00 o'clock. Besides I already tried
to wake you up... Why are you so worried?"
"I'm going to be late!" Serenity jumps out of bed. Luckily Luna dodges her.
Serenity almost stepped on her.
"Serenity-sama, be careful on where you step."
"Opps sorry Luna..." She rushed into the bathroom and started the water.
Then she got out again and ran to her closet. She took out her uniform and then
ran in the bathroom again. Serenity slammed the door.
*sigh*'Sometimes, I just don't get her... Serenity-sama, what are you thinking?'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
25 minutes later
"Luna! Where did you put my bag?"
"I did not put it anywhere! It's right next to your shoes!"
"Okay, thanks Luna! Bye!"
Serenity grabbed her bag and her shoe, ran out the door while putting on her shoes.
"Serenity-sa..."
The door slammed.
"ma... SERENITY-SAMA!!! What about my food?!" Luna yelled at the door.
"Not again!" Luna groans.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serenity
She ran all the way to school. She usually wakes up at 6:45. Today she had
to rush all the way. Then it just hit her like a ton of bricks!
'Oh no! I forgot to study for astronomy test! Luna is going to kill me!
I better study quickly at school'
She made it at school. She went to her locker and put her books in there.
She took out her astronomy book and the rest of the things she will need for the
first two periods.
Just then the first bell rang. She quickly closed her locker and started
heading for the first period of the day. 'Here we go again!'
She sat down at her desk. Then she looked around, most of the students
were already there. Too bad Endy wasn't there yet. So she took out her astronomy book.
*Sigh* "At least I made it..."
"Hey, dude! Did you study for the test?" Andrew started saying.
"Oh, which test?" Darien replied as he was coming into the classroom.
"Astronomy"
"Uhh... no"
"I heard its going to be hard! Some rumors said there are more than 50
questions on it!"
"Oh then I better study now..." Darien started to head for his desk.
He sat down and took out his astronomy book too.
Then he looked ahead of him.
"Ohayo" he simply said.
Serenity turned around. Then she found that Darien was looking at her.
"Ohayo..." She gave him a big smile.
"Did you study for the test?"
"Ummm, no... I forgot..." Serenity blushed.
Darien chuckled. "I did too."
Then Serenity giggled.
"So are we still on for the dance?" Darien asked. His voice seems to
be a little bit louder. Then all the girls' head turn to him.
"Yea." Serenity replied. Then all the guys looked at her. Every single
guy wants to go to the dance with her, but they are all afraid to be turned down.
Then the talking level started to increase. The girls envied her so much.
Just then the bell rang. The teacher walks in. Luckily some one saw it or else they
have to run again. Right then you can hear a pin drop.
"Did everybody study for the test?"
No body answered.
"Well, then I guess we will find out soon enough."
The teacher began to take roll.
"Hmm, six students missing? Is this because of the test?" The teacher frowned.
"Clear your desks! Put your astronomy book away, the test is about to start.
Is there any questions?"
More than ten hands flew to the air.
"Well, lets start with you." the teacher pointed at the student in the very back.
"Sir, how many questions will there be in the test?"
"One hundred" the teacher said like it was nothing at all. Some of the hands
went down. Then he pointed at another student.
"Sir, will this test affect our grade?"
"It's a test. What do you think? It will affect 35% of your grade." More hands
went down. So he pointed at another student.
"How much time will you give us?"
"About... one and a half hour." The students gasp. That is not enough time for
them to finish a test. Then he pointed at another student.
"Is there retakes?"
"Depends how many students will pass. The less students that pass, there will
be more chances of retakes. If no student pass at all, there will be no retakes," then
the teacher pointed at a student.
"What will happen at those students that are absent?"
"Well, since you are here, you don't need to worry
about that. Since you asked, then I will answer you. They are
not getting a chance of taking this test, unless their parents
call right now and inform me that their child is sick and need
to take that test. Then, I will personally come to their house
and bring the test with me and watch them taking it right in
front of me."
"Sir, is there any extra credits?"
"Of course! Talk to me about extra credits after
class... Is there anymore questions?"
No more hands in the air.
"Okay the test will begin! After you finish, put it on
my desk and you will be excused and have a free period! As soon
as you get it, you may get started. Is Serenity Moon and Darien
Chiba here?"
"Yes?" they both said at the same time.
"You may be excused for this test."
"Excused me?"
*sigh* "Both of you do not need to take this test! You
may have the period off..."
"Why?"
"Don't ask me. You have both been excused for school
for the rest of the day. You will not be count absent for any
of your classes. Tomorrow you will have a little meeting with
the principle and there will be no assignments due tomorrow."
"Yes sir." Darien answered.
Serenity and Darien started gathering their things and
left. Every eye in the room was watching them leave the class.
"Now let's get this test going," Serenity could hear the
teacher said as she left the room.
She started to head for her locker. Darien followed her.
She opened her locker and put in her books. Darien opened his
too. His locker was four lockers away from hers.
"So what should we do for the rest of the day?" Darien
started saying.
"Umm, well, I was going to go shopping after school..."
Serenity answered him.
"Well, can I come with you?"
"Sure"
"Where should we go?"
Serenity smiled. "I don't know... I haven't been shopping
for a long time. I still need to buy a dress for the dance."
"How about we go and get food and then go shopping at
the mall?" Darien suggested.
"Okay, but how will we get there?"
"Follow me..."
Serenity closed her locker and started following him.
They went out to the parking lot. Darien started to take out
keys. Then he headed for a car that has the color of a red
rose. Then he went and opened it. Serenity stopped and examines
the car. Darien went on the other side of the car and opened
the door for her.
"This is your car?" Serenity stared at the car with
unbelievable eyes.
"Yea, come on."
Serenity went in and sat down in the car.
"Nice car!" She exclaim.
"Took me a long time to get it." Darien started the
car and went.
"Oh really? How long?" Serenity questioned.
"About a couple of years working," he simply reply.
"It's that expensive?"
"Not really. I got this car just this year. Gas is really
expensive though..."
"So this car is all yours?" she said amazed.
"Yup."
"Hey Darien..."
"Yea? What is it?"
"Do you like the Moon?" she suddenly questions
"Yes, for some reason I do... Serenity, what's your
favorite flower?" it was his turn to ask a question.
"Hmmm, a red rose..."
"Me too"
"I know..."
"You do?"
"Oh... hehehehe, I saw one of your books with a red rose
on it..." Serenity tried to escape from his question.
The car started to slow down. Then Darien perfectly parked
the car. He pulled the break and turned off the engine.
"We are here..."
"Okay," Serenity got out of the car.
"Where do you want to eat?" He questioned.
"Any where is fine with me"
'As long as I'm with you' Serenity added silently.
"How bout there?" Darien pointed at the building.
"Sure" Serenity smiled and followed him.
They went in and sat down near the window. The waiter came
and gave them the menu.
"I want a cheese burger with chocolate milkshake," Serenity said.
"I'll have the same" Darien said to the waiter.
Then the waiter took the menus and left.
"You know, I wasn't sure you would want to go with me..." Darien said.
"And why would you think that?"
"Well, first of all, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met."
Serenity's cheeks turned crimson red.
"Second of all, you are the most popular in school."
"That's not true! You are the most popular in school," Serenity denied.
"Yes it is true. All the guys talks about you all day..."
"Really? How about you?"
Darien chuckles. "Well, I'll tell you some day..."
Serenity laughs.
"Third of all, you have turned every single guy that ever asked
you out down."
"Well, there is a reason for that one, okay?" she smiled.
"What is it?"
"Hehehehe. I don't like them." Serenity giggled.
"Oh? Then what is the reason for you going out with me?" he enquire.
Serenity blushes. She was hoping he wouldn't ask her that.
"Well, what's the reason you asked me out?" she shot back.
Darien was silent.
"Your food is here." The waiter said.
"Let's eat," Darien said.
"Itadakimasu!" Serenity said.
Serenity already adopted to the present. From a princess to a normal
teenage-girl with a talking cat. Plus her longing for everybody that she knew.
Serenity started eating. Darien did too.
"When was the last time we did this Endy?" Serenity said without thinking.
"Endy?"Darien said.
Then Serenity just realizes her mistake.
"Ummm..."
"Who is Endy?"
'What am I going to do? I can't just said he is nobody...'
"Endy is the prince from my dreams..." she gave him the closest truth.
"Dream?"
"Yea and you look a lot like him..."
"Hahaha... what do you mean by that?"
"Well, he has black hair, blue eyes, and very handsome," Serenity said.
"Yea, well, are you in love with this prince? Because I might get jealous
of him," Darien asked jokingly.
Serenity was stunned.
"Jealous? Why would you be jealous of him?" Serenity forced out a laugh.
"Well, if you do love him, anybody would get jealous to see you love
someone else. You see, just like the all the guys in school," he pointed out.
"Well, do you like me?"
"Of course!"
"Since when?" Serenity asked.
"Since... The first time I saw you." Darien said seriously.
"Then why didn't you asked me out then?"
"Well, you were quiet, and just can't speak to a princess like that?"
"Princess?"
"Well, how bout I become the prince of your dreams, and you become
the princess that you always are."
"You think of me as a princess?" Serenity was very surprise.
"Do you think I'm fit to be a prince?"
'Endymion!'
"Of course! Prince Endymion..." Then she giggled.
"Then would you be my lady, Princess Serenity?"
Then Serenity stopped giggling. Her face was serious.
"A name I haven't heard for a long time..." she whispered.
"Oh?"
"Well, I used to play royalty..." Serenity said hoping he would believe her.
"Then I shall call you Princess Serenity for the rest of the time..."
"Can I call you Prince Endymion?"
"That's a strange name... Just like Endymion the shepherded and Selene
the Goddess of the Moon."
"You know that legend?"
"Yea, I got interested in it..."
"I like that legend too..."
"I shall be called "Prince Endymion of the Earth" Darien said playfully.
Serenity was giving him a bright smile. She liked him no matter if he
remembers or not.
"My Prince, come and rescue me!"
"I will be coming my princess"
Serenity and Darien was laughing.

Revised! April 24, 2004
I decided that I want to chaged some things... I found a new plan to direct this
story to... before I was just wondering aimlessly until I found a way I can connect
this to the ending of the story that I planned.
