I majorly appreciated it! :) Hi to Tracy B., Jane Y., and my sister Lauren, I luv u guyz!!! :) I decided to add a little plot to my story to make it more interesting!!!! Be sure to check out my story "Thy Love is Thy Enemy" and ENJOY!!:) Do You Believe in Miracles??? Chapter 3 Written By: Elena :) PG-13 Raye gazed guiltily at the blond sleeping peacefully in her bed. 'I can't believe she saved me. I'm supposed to protect her not her protect me. If I had only been more careful. A mistake like that almost costed me my best friend's life. It's all my fault. I wonder why she did that?' "Because she loves you and cares about you," her heart answered. She smiled a soft smile and once again dipped the wash cloth back in the water dish before placing it back on Serena's tiny forehead. All the Scouts had finally been relieved from duty, realizing there was nothing more they could do for now, and had headed home, thanks to Raye's constant shooing. The Lady of Fire herself had personally requested that she look after Serena, since she had saved her life it was the least she could do. '5:32 A.M. I guess I better get her back home before her parents ever realize she was gone.' ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 5:52 A.M. The Tsukino's Residence "Did we have another Youma attack?" questioned Luna. Raye only nodded silently. "Well I think it would be best if we discuss this at our Scout meeting tomarrow. You are very tired and need your rest for school."stated Luna. Serena was carefully placed in her bed, decorated in white bunnies and yellow crescent moons with pink sheets. "Luna she has a few minor burns on her arms. 'No help from me' I bandaged them already." Raye replied. "Well I guess wounds come with clumsiness." chuckled Luna. "Actually she got them saving my life." whispered Raye. Luna's orange eyes widened a little and then resettled in their normal wise position. Luna cleared her throat after a minute "Thank you Raye, I appreciate that very much." "It was the least I could do, Luna. Do you think she will be alright? I mean well--" All of a sudden they heard "Ummm Tuxedo Mask umm." coming from the sleeping super heroine. "Uh Raye?" "Yeah?" "She'll be just fine." replied Luna through a fit of laughter. "Yeah once a meatball head always a meatball head!" She said before they both started cracking up. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 7:47 A.M. The Tsukino's Residence "Oh no I'm gonna be ssooooo late! Why didn't somebody wake me up???" squeeked Serena. "I did." moaned Luna, who was trying to retract her claws from the wall next to Serena's bed. "Oh sorry Luna I'm a really heavy sleeper sometimes." 'You mean all the time' thought the unfortunate feline. "Ok Luna let's go. Come on Luna you're gonna make me late!" "Coming Serena." heaved Luna. Serena jammed a piece of toast in her mouth, grabbed her lunch, gave a quick wave to her family, and ran out the door. "Have a nice day-- the door slammed, dear." called her mother. "Come on Luna hurry up! Maybe you should get some more exercise!" called Serena. "Why get a Stairmaster when you got a Serena?" mumbled Luna. 'God where is that cat? Oh who cares I kissed Tuxedo Mask last night!!! Yeppiee!!! And I was actually brave. Now we'll see who Raye calls a meatball head!! Since I saved her life and all.' thought a now huffing Serena. She glanced over her shoulder for a minute to see if Luna was still alive when all of a sudden "WHACK!" Before she knew what happened she had made contact with something much bigger than her and had ended up on the ground. That's when she heard, "Hey meatball head is the world running out of food or somethin?" "As a matter of fact the world's running low on conceited showbinistic jerks, but amazingly enough I have seemed to have found one! And in prime condition too! Their also holding a contest for the most conceited showbinistic jerk so you better hurry and getta entry form, for your sure to win!!!" Yelled a now furious Serena. "Geez meatball head I never knew you would be so kind to think of me and inform me of such a contest, amazing how you've heard of it and I haven't, besides I'd rather be a conceited jerk than a lazy, meatball headed pig!" smirked Darien. "Well I'm in a very good mood today and I'm not gonna let you spoil it! And thanks to you I'm late for school!" 'Oh no my beautiful angel, you can't go yet I have to find a way to keep you here longer. Come on think Darien think!' thought Darien. Serena then proceeded to walk past him and as if on instinct he grabbed her arm to hold her there. 'Good going Chiba now you're really gonna get it!' He then noticed her wincing. A small crystal tear then made itself known by slowly traveling down her now pale cheek and dropping on his fingers. Serena then spoke pleadingly and softly. "Please let me go Darien." 'Oh gods what have I done?' he thought. He carefully moved his hand down to her wrist and let it rest there in a gentle grip. He shoved her sleave up on her tiny fragile arm and gasped at what he saw. There were small gashes, a few stratches, and minor burn marks. 'What is he doing?' thought Serena as she kept her face turned the other way. Darien then cupped her face in his hands and forced her to look in his eyes. "How or Who did this to you?" he whispered hoarsely almost painfully. She looked his midnight blue eyes wanting to tell him everything and wondering why she felt a strange connection. Darien's breath caught when he looked into her big sapphire eyes. He wondered why he felt something almost tugging at his heart. For a minute he thought her saw her eyes show of pain, desperation, and sadness. 'I wonder what could've happened to her' Serena was almost afraid of all these emotions that were surfacing and she involuntarily began to tremble. Darien felt her began to tremble and became even more worried about the petite blond who shot electricity through his vains with one touch. Serena tore her gaze away and responded barely above a gentle whisper. "It was an accident, that's all you need to know Darien." He then released his grip and she had disappeared around the corner with a black cat bounding after her before he could find his voice again. Thanx for all the support!!! I know this chapter kinda stinked but I promise to do better next time!!! Luv, Elena :)
