Title: How Strong is our love part 1 By: Twilight Email: MPerez1329@aol.com rated: G ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Hello! This is my FIRST time to actually write a fanfic, but please don't let that discourage you! I promise I tried my best to make it good! There is NO action in this story what so ever. It's a love story sort of triangle. I messed with the ages because I can, so Serena and the scouts are all 16 while Darien is 21. Anyway, short summary of the story......Darien and Serena have finally gotten together again after the little pink hair girl had left (Rini!) But then Darien was letting all of Serena's faults cause him to grow distant and try to find comfort in another person. Soon Darien realizes what a major part Serena plays in his life. Is it too late to win her back? Well this delima strengthen their relationship or is it ended for good? Tell me what you think! Oh and a lot of this will be narrated if not in different pov.....This will mainly be in Serena's pov. Oh this is self edited so please excuse all my grammer and spelling errors! =) ~~~Scene changes~~~ 'thinking' How strong is our love: part 1 By: Twilight Luna walked into the dark room to find Serena once again staring out the window into the night sky. 'she's been doing that a lot lately. I wonder what's wrong?' thought Luna. As she approached the listless girl she hears Serena sigh of longing, then a tear slowly makes it's way down her cheek. "What's the matter Serena?" startled I turn to look at Luna but not before I wipe away the tear that has fallen. "No....nothing's wrong Luna, just thinking" 'I hope she doesn't try to pry it out of me, I really don't feel like talking right now' Luckily Luna turns to walk out of the room but not before saying one last thing. "Well, don't stay up too late you still have school tomorrow. I'm going to Mina's to talk to Artemis. Goodnight Serena." Then she is gone and I am left alone... again. Slowly I edge my way towards my bed with a heavy and confused heart. Once I felt settled I closed my eyes waiting for sleep to claim my tired body. Visions and events of the past weeks flash through my mind. ~~~~~~~~~~ I see myself walking through the park with Darien to the rose gardens. Along the way I accidentally trip over a rock, but my beloved Darien was there to catch me. Grateful that he caught me instead of letting me fall I look up to him to smile. Only he is not smiling back. He looks embarrassed and slightly.....annoyed? Ever so slowly I pull my self from his arms to continue on our way. ~~~~~~~~~~ After our little walk through the rose gardens we find ourselves at the Ice cream parlor. As we look at our menu's I notice that Darien has been keeping his distance from me and I'm worried. Soon the waiter comes to take our order and we sit back to relax. Usually Darien and I would have tons to talk about, but he's acting so strange now. Finally I can take no more. " Darien,.....what's wrong? Why have you been acting so distant lately?" He just looks at me with an amused grin. After a second he finally answers. "Nothings wrong with me Serena. What about you?......" 'what's that suppose to mean?' I'm slightly confused here! Before I could have pondered his question more our food came. I of course quickly dug into my food and finished way before Darien. Whipping all the crumbs from my mouth I look up to Darien and flash him a smile, but once again I'm greeted with the same face as in the park! Suddenly Darien stands looks around then says "Well I gotta go Serena" and with that quickly begins to walk away. But before he's to far I grab his arm and he turns to look at me. Annoyance is written vividly on his masculine features. Surprised I release his arm while my eyes show how confused I am. He seems not to notice though and hastily walks away. 'more like run really. Why is he being this way? What did I do to make him so cold towards me?' These question ran through my mind over and over again. ~~~~~~~~~~ I feel the suns rays on me but I don't want to get up. Then an all too familiar voice starts to nag me! 'ugh, damn cat! Luna let me sleep!' "Time to get up sleepy head! Your going to be late if you don't get up!!" Man she doesn't have to scream in my ear! I'm not deaf ya know! "Oh Luna, I don't feel so good! Could you please leave me alone!" My voice sounded so depressed, more so then I meant. But it's true, I don't feel good.......well emotionally anyway. It looked like she would have argued with me more except mom came into the room. Screaming at the top of her lungs too! "Get up NOW Serena or you'll be late AGAIN! Get up!" Narrated Slowly Serena dragged herself out of bed and sluggishly put on her school uniform. Thoughts of the past week are running vividly through her mind. It had almost been two weeks since Darien's attitude towards her changed and see was seeing less and less of him. Serena was almost out her front door when she heard Luna call out to her. "Serena, you've been so depressed for awhile now. What's going on?" daring to go further she quietly added "Is it Darien?" At the sound of his name Serena abruptly turned her head away in shame. "It's nothing Luna......nothing you can help with anyway" She voice showed no emotion, then she turned and walked out the door. Luna quickly ran up to Serena's room and watched her leave for school. Instead of her usual running, Serenas' steps were slow and draggy. 'I think I should get the girls to help cheer her up. She needs a distraction' and with that Luna quickly left to find Artemis. ~~~~~~~~~~ Serena's pov I hear Miss. H. talking but my mind can't stay on what she's teaching. Again my thoughts drift back to Darien and how he's been. 'Why has he been acting like this? Is it something I did?' I had so many questions and no one to answer them. I never noticed the tears running down my cheeks or Miss. H. yelling at me......wait a minute.....shoot I'm in trouble again. Just what I need. I expected to be thrown out in the hall but she continued with class and gave them their lesson. Once everyone was settled she quietly walked up to me. "Serena what's wrong? Are you okay? Would you like to go the the nurse and rest for a bit?" Miss. H. actually sounded like she cared! Numbly I nodded my head afraid my voice would crack if I said anything. Then off I was to the nurses to sit and rest. I stayed there for the remainder of the day until school was out. Once the bell rang I gathered my things to meet up with the others out front. As soon as I was there Lita, Ami and Molly greeted me. "Hi, Serena! Would ya like to go to the mall? I hear there having a shoe sale! It's just what you need to get your mind off whatever!" I knew Molly meant well but I just didn't feel like shopping. 'that's a first huh?' "Uhm, no Molly thanks though. I'd rather just go home and rest. Bye guys, I'll see you tomorrow. With that I left the girls and started on my way home. On the way there I decided to stop off in the park and just walk. Narrated Luna was watching in the distance the conversation going on between the girls. Once Serena left she jumped up into Ami's arms. The girls quickly took the hint and said their good-bye's to Molly. Unknowist to Serena but she was about to catch Darien with someone whom her eyes could not believe. Her steps faulted then stopped completely. This couldn't be real! Unwilling to believe her eyes she slowly crept up behind the two without them ever noticing. ~~~~~~~~~~ A few minutes earlier "Darien, I don't like this, going behind Serena's back. You should tell her how you feel!" "I really want to! But I don't know how to tell her without hurting her feelings. I just wish.....oh I don't know!!" Darien cried in frustration. All of a sudden a beeping noise could be heard, the girl quickly reached into her pocket and withdrew it. Looking around to make sure no one was looking she quietly talked into it. "Well anyway, Luna just called a scout meeting at the temple so I better go. You will talk to her right?" "Yes, of course I'll tell her....." "NO, I mean about....us. What are we going to do?" while all this was taking place the girl was going through some inner termoil, not really knowing what to do. 'I just need to know if my feelings for Darien are real' "Don't worry I plan to tell her everything, I do love her you know, but I think maybe I just need some space and time" "Uhm.....okay, now that that's settled I'll be going Darien" with that she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and left. "Bye Raye!" Then Dariens' eye's feel on a retreating back with long blond pig tails. 'Oh no! Please tell me she didn't see that' "Serena Wait!!" Then he took off after her, hoping he could find a way to clear things up. ~~~~~~~~~~ Serena's pov I did not just hear this! How could they betray me like this! If he really loved me like he says he does then why is he doing this? I was about to turn and leave when I saw Raye quickly kiss Darien on the cheek. That was it, I couldn't take anymore! I begin to run from the park and Darien. I thought I heard Darien yell my name, but I don't care. I just need to get away. To be continued........... Please email me and tell me what you think!
