Pen Name: GoldStar Title: First Love Part: Chapter 3 E-mail - GoldStar@eternalmoon.zzn.com *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hi! I'm back! I am so, so sorry that I haven't posted a chapter in months! Please forgive me? Onegai? Well, I really hope that this makes up (kinda?) for the long months of me not writing. So enjoy and please e-mail me on what you think. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, never will. I'm just a big fan of SM. Also the song in this chapter I do not own. It's by this singer named Buffy. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Author's POV *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 'Should I tell her what I dreamt of? It can't be her, right? Maybe my feelings for her got into the dream somehow and her face was replaced by the real moon princess. Please let me be right, though,' thought Darien as he opened the door to reveal Serena. "Darien, what's wrong?" she asked. 'I've decided that it was just as I thought, my feelings had gotten into the dream,' thought Darien. He relaxed a bit after. "It's nothing. I'm fine. Come on in," he replied. He noticed that Serena looked skeptically back at him, but she didn't say anything about it after. "Well, do you wanna start now?" "Well, sure. I mean, there's nothing else to do." she said. "Haha, oh yeah! I'll go get something to drink," Darien walked into the kitchen. "Um...I have this major craving for strawberries and whip cream, you got any?" Serena asked. "I think. Let me see," he started to the refrigerator and peeked inside. Sure enough, there was still a small box of strawberries and a half can of whip cream left. He took them out and started to wash the strawberries. While Darien was washing, Serena was still thinking of her thought before Jonathan had come. *I like Darien, I know that now. But the problem is, does he like me? Was the too-close kiss something he wanted? Or was he just imagining some other girl? Oooh, I just don't know! How can be like this? Well, one thing I do know for certain is that I have to break-up with Jonathan. He's a sweet guy, but I can't go on liking Darien, while still dating him. He deserves so much better.* "So, here are the strawberries, just dig in and eat as much as you want," said Darien as he took Serena out of her thoughts. "Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it," and dig in Serena did. After that, they had started practicing again without much "trouble" because both of them took extreme measures to be careful as not to do anything. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The Next Day *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* After Serena and the girls had gotten off the bus and met the guys, a thick competition air was in the room. "Hi, Serena," said Lila Gem. Lila was one of the bratty, popular girls, hardly a gem at all. She would always pick on Serena because Serena had snagged Jonathan and everyone knew that at the time, Jonathan was Lila's next "victim." She always said that she was over him, but the whole school knew that she wasn't because she was always picking on Serena. "So, what are you going to do today? Show the people how many times you can klutz out in a day?" She laughed at her very pathetic joke because everyone knew that Serena didn't klutz out anymore. Her horrible cackling was joined by one of her other bratty friend. "So, who is your partner anyway? I know, it's probably one of the nerds. That's all you could have ever gotten, a nerd!" And once again, the cackling began. "Yeah, you're right I'm such a klutz that all I could ever get is a nerd..." Serena began. "Got that right, glad to see that you finally got the point." "And one of those nerds is someone you used to drool your nasty little mouth off. Someone that picked a klutz over a bratty, spoiled selfish, and might I add, slutty drama queen like you!" Serena retorted. And then the infamous glaring contest between the two girls began. Practically the whole room seem tuned into Serena's and Lila's little verbal fight. Darien stepped up to Serena and then said, "Come on, Serena. You don't have the time to waste talking to her. We have to start." The girls looked up at him and Lila stared at him with surprise and satisfaction. She smiled up at him with a wicked grin and asked, "So, who are you? Don't tell me you're partners with Serena. Why don't you come with me and we'll fix up something totally cool that the other people will never forget?" "I'm someone who wouldn't want to give you my name even if my life depended on it, much less go anywhere with you. And I'd rather be partners with Serena then a slob who wears too much make-up like you." And then he grabbed Serena's arm and led her away to where their friends were. Everyone was still staring, until Miss H. said something and everyone got back to working. Serena was still very surprised that Darien had said that. "Darien, you didn't have to do that..." said Serena. He smiled his cute grin at her and replied, "Well, she had no right to say those to you. And second, we seriously don't have time if we want to try to talk about the song." Serena just didn't mention the whole scene again because they did still have to talk to the song. "Ok, class. Time to compete! Now, I want all the singing acts to go first, going in alphabetical order starting with last names of my students. Then I want all dancers in the same order. Then I want musicians, then actors and actresses, and finally everything else that I hadn't mentioned." Rei and Chad were two groups ahead of Serena and Darien. Then, in the dancing category, there was Lila and another girl who was fixing her nails, while Lila was looking at them. They seemed like they were chatting about them, too. Next, Ami and Greg were third in the musicians category. Mina and Nick were first in acting, and finally Lita and Ken were the second to last group. The first couple going sang some fast song. They were good, but most of the people didn't think they would win. Then, Rei and Chad went on. They knew that Rei was a good singer, but no one knew about Chad. They sang to a slow song that had everyone in a trance. When it was over, everyone clapped with amazement and enthusiasm. As Serena's and Darien's turn came nearer and nearer, they got more nervous. "What if I'm not good enough, Darien?" asked Serena. "What if I really do get stage fright? What if I suddenly forget the words? What if..." Serena was cut off by Darien's voice. "Listen, you're not going to mess up or anything, ok? You're going to go up there and sing the best you've ever sang and show that other girl that you're not some klutz, but that you're better than her. Ok?" replied Darien. Serena smiled gratefully at Darien and nodded. Then clapping was heard. Miss H. spoke up and said, "Ok, can we please have the next group go next?" Serena and Darien started to walk towards the front of the class and then Serena looked towards all her friends. They were all giving her the thumbs up sign, but when she looked towards Lila, she was given the thumbs down sign. Serena glared at her and thought, *I'll show her. I'm going to rock this competition!" "Ready Serena?" whispered Darien. Serena nodded again and then she heard the music start. She mustered up all the confidence she could and heard Darien start the song: Girl it felt like I had you in my arms Well, maybe I didn't Maybe I'm just thinking about you Serena then realized it was her big debut. I guess it's 'cause, you're the first I ever had And I can't forget you now, Boy I can't forget you And together they sang. You're my first love You're the only one I've ever loved You're my first love You're the only one I've ever loved *This is the best Serena's ever sang. I knew she could do it. She sounds amazing!* thought Darien. He opened his mouth to sing and started to turn towards Serena. The first time I ever saw you, You had a flower pin in your hair You had such a pretty face and a smile that was always there *I really love this. I love singing, but most of all, I love being here singing with Darien. I wish I could stay like this forever,* Serena sighed. As soon as she saw Darien was turned towards her, she looked his way and started to part her lips. Well, this is my first love, and maybe it was yours It doesn't really matter, now Just wanted to let you know (Together) You're my first love You're the only one I've ever loved You're my first love You're the only one I've ever loved (Serena) I'll never forget the first time I saw you You had the sweetest smile (Darien) The sweetest smile, only you (Serena) And all I could think about was how I could make you my guy (Darien) Make you mine, my first love (Both) You're my first love (Serena) Boy, you've had my heart (Both) You're the only one I've ever loved (Serena) To kiss, to touch, to hold you close (Both) You're my first love (Serena) My first love (Both) You're the only one I've ever loved You're my first love The audience was dazed by their performance. The air was filled with romance coming out of the two people. The audience just looked at them in awe. No one had expected that Serena nor Darien could sing as well as they could. Even Lila was stunned. (Serena) Boy, you've had my heart (Both) You're the only one I've ever loved (Serena) To kiss, to touch, to hold you close (Both) You're my first love (Serena) My first love (Both) You're the only one I've ever loved And their voices started to fade out. When the music was over, everyone was just staring at the two. Serena had wondered if she had sucked just as much as she thought. But her thoughts proved her wrong as the people started to stand up and clap thunderously. Some people were smiling and others had their eyes wide opened. Even the judges, Miss. H. and Professor Lee had big grins on their faces. When the competitions were over, the winner was obvious, Serena and Darien. Everyone congratulated them. When class was over and it was time for Serena to go, she said good-bye to Darien and walked towards the bus. There, leaning on the bus, was Jonathan. Serena was walking up to him with the rest of the girls behind her. "Hi, what are you doing here?" asked Serena. "Hey hun. Um...do you think I could talk to you alone, for a minute?" replied Jonathan. Serena looked at the girls and they all nodded and walked to the bus. *Maybe I should just tell him right now, while we're alone.* They walked not to far from the bus and stopped at a daisy garden. "Serena, I've been thinking," started Jonathan. "Me too," replied Serena. "What about?" he asked with hope in his eyes. Serena didn't want to tell him first, so she said, "Why don't you tell me what you've been thinking about?" "Ok. Well, we've been together for three months and I've really loved to times we've spent together. And I want whatever we have between us to last for a long time. So what I'm trying to say is..." he paused. *Maybe I should've just told him what I'VE been thinking about,* thought Serena. He looked straight into Serena's eyes and blurted out, "I love you!" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Ok.
