Well here goes... ************ Title: Are You Worth It? By:The Senshi of Love June 12, 1999 PG-13 ************ Serena drummed her fingers on the steering wheel of her BMW in time with the music on the radio. She was on her way to her way to her job at the hospital. She was a doctor. When she was in high school being a doctor had always been a dream of hers. But people who knew her thought that she would never make that dream of hers come true because she was a lazy teenager who was clumsy and hardly ever made good grades at school. But she sure showed them. After she heard all thse harsh words she decided to change right there and then. With the help of her friends of course. Only her friends and parents had believed in her. Mina, Lita, Amy, and Raye. The people who were always there for her other than her parents of course. When she got to her office she started to do her daily routine. She then went home from work totally exsausted. She went to her appartment and tried to get to sleep immediatly. But she just couldn't. It wasn't that late so she decided to call Raye. she dialed the phone number and waited patiently for Raye to answer. It rang two times before an unfamiliar voice answered it. "Hello?" the voice said. "Umm.. excuse me but is Raye there?" Serena asked. "Yeah, she's in just hold on a second." the voice said. A Few seconds later Raye finally answered the phone. "Hello?" she said. " Raye, it's me Serena. Hey who was that who just answered the phone?" Serena asked curiously. " Oh! That was just Darien. He's my cousin. Visiting us from New York." "So fill me in on some details about him Raye!" " Okay, Okay meatball head just hold your horses. Hmm.. Where sholuld I begin. Well he's a lawyer. He has really dark black hair, dark blue eyes, he's about 6'2, he has a great muscular build , and he's really cute. Also he has a great personality but he gets kinda really hot tempered sometimes. Okay yeah I admit it being hot tempered runs in our famiy okay Serena so you can quit laughing." Raye said as she heard some giggling from Serena. "Sorry," Serena said as she tried to stop laughing, "it just the idea that someone who's sopposed to be all that and a bag of chips can have a temper as bad as yours. I really can't believe that. If he's all you said he was he can't heve a temper like you." "Okay Serena, Ha ha ha very funny. just wait until you get to know him. and you'll see what I'm talking about. You can meet him at the party at Amy's house tomorrow. Okay?" "Sure! Okay so I'll see you there. Bye Raye!" After Serena hung up the phone she went straight to bed and dreamed of her knight in shining armor. THE NEXT MORNING The next morning Serena woke up pleasantly. It was her day off so she decided to go shopping for something to wear to Amy's party. She went to almost every store in the mall until her eyes wondered upon the perfect dress for her. It was a pink halter dress that reached to her ankles and had a slit up to about mid thigh. It was decorated witha pattern of roses out lined in white. Serena quickly took it off the rack and went to the dressing room to try it on. To her surprise it fit her perfectly , so she immediatly bought it. It was about two in the after noon and Serena was getting very excited about Amy's party. Not only was she going to meet Raye's cousin whom she talked nonstop about but her and her friends were finally going to find out the reason Amy was throwing a party. Serena knew it wasn't anybody's birthday or anniversary so why was Amy throwing a party all of a sudden... Serena was driving home when suddenly a black Mustang came out of nowhere and the just suddenly stopped in front of Serena's car. Serena quickly hit the brakes, luckly nothing bad happened except for that tiny dent in the Mustang. All of a sudden a man came out of the car and started to yell at Serena. Serena coldn't stand his yelling any more so she stepped out of her car to give that jerk yelling his head off at her a piece of her mind. "Can you please shut up for a minute." Serena yelled to the total stranger. "I really don't think you have the right to scream at me like that. Scince it was obviously you fault. I mean if you drove more carefully and more like a normal person here in Japan I don't think we would be having this problem! So you can just shut the hell up and we'll just exchange our phone numbers and insurance companies and we can get on to whatever we were doing. OKAY!" Serena shouted angrily. "Here" the stranger said in a very rude tone as he exchanged with her the necessary information. The he got back in his car and sped off without saying another word. 'Ha!' Serena thought to herself 'shows him for insulting me in front of everyong out on the road. Well better get home and get ready for Amy's party.' It was about five o'clock when Serena finally left for Amy's party. It took about 30 minutes to get there. When she got to Amy's house she knocked on the door and Amy immediatley answered and greeted her. " Hi Serena! Come in." " Thanks Amy. But are you finally going to tell us why the party?" " Just be patient Serena and you'll find out." "aww.. Come on Amy you know I've never been very patient." Serena complained. " You Just have to wait until Greg gets here. Okay?" " Um.. Sure I guess I can wait. Oh! And have you seen Raye?" " Yeah she's upstairs with the rest of the guests and her cousin." Amy smiled and then winked to Serena as she headed up o the rest of the party. When Serena got up to the second floor she instantly started to look for Raye. Until she finally spotted Raye's long black hair in the far right corner of the room. " Raye!" Serena called to her a she headed over there. " Oh. Hey Serena! I've been waiting for like forever for you to get here. Wait here and I'll go get my cousinso I can introduce you to him. Now stay put." MEANWHILE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM... 'I can't believe I let Raye drag me here. It's so boring.' thought Darien. 'I just wanted to sit down and relax at home. Today was too horibble. First I find out that my best friend, Andrew is out of town. I haven't seen him in about five years. Then I start screaming at this exquisite young lady. I mean I was so surprised when she came out of the car and I was so amazed that she was so beautiful. But she sure had some nerve yelling at me like that cause it was evident that it was her fault. But she sure had the deepest blue eyes, perfect face, and.... Ugh!!' Darien's mind yelled ' stop thinking about her! You don't even know her ang if you did I don't think you would be able to forgive her for what she's done to you. I mean she publically humiliated you today, but still she was lovely...' Darien was still in deep thought when Raye called out to him. " Darien!" she said "So that's where you've been! Come on I want to introduce you to my best friend but please just remember to be polite." " Aww. Come on Raye you know I'm always polite." He said jokingly. Serena stood there for about five minutes until she saw Raye coming towards her dragging along a very tall man with black hair. He was wearing lite brown dress slacks with a white polo shirt. When they got closer Serena suddenly began to recognize who the guy was. It was that jerk who was screaming at her blaming her for the little car accident, when it was his fault because he didn't know how to drive. Serena was furious but was still able to plaster a fake smile on her face. " Serena, this is Darien Sheilds my cousin and Darien this is Serena Calloway. Darien, Serena." 'Oh my gosh! It's her! I can't believe it! Of all the people in the world she has to be Raye's best friend.' Darien thought as he shook her hand. " Wait, how come I have the feeling that you two know each other?" Raye asked. ************ Okay well that was the first part. How'd you like it? E-mail me. I'll probably have the next chapter e-mailed to the Usagi and Mamoru fanfiction archive by tomorrow.
