YAY!!! A new fanfic! No, I?m not going crazy...I?m really, REALLY sorry about MHWABWY! And about WLGTDWI? as well. I guess I just need some time to get back into the writing thing... since school?s over for now, I can write more (though I?m still really busy). Once again, I sincerely apologize for this. Anyway, here?s a new story that I just got an inspiration for. Hope you like! Arranged Marriage By Aashka email-Rassgulla1@aol.com DISCLAIMER-I do not own Sailor Moon or any of her little friends (seriously where have YOU been?) SUMMARY-Serena is a from a very rich family, even though she doesn?t believe in living "the easy life" as she likes to call. Darien is the same way. Even though they are both trying to get through college and start out in the world alone (without their parents? money) they still feel obligated to the people who raised them and gave them everything they wanted in the world. So when the time comes, both sets of parents collaborate to bring their two reluctant children together. Serena and Darien meet at college and find that it is hate at first sight for them. They go on meeting and arguing with eachother till the end of the school year when they go back home to stay with their parents. Serena and Darien find out about their "little" arrangement and their first reaction is to intensely decline the offer. But when they think it over they feel they are unable to do that to their parents who have their hearts set on it. So they come together to and make a plan to get out of this unwanted union but find themselves slowly falling for each other when they finally get themselves free of this arranged marriage will that be what they want? Arranged Marriage: Prologue ********** "You better hurry if you want to be there on time," said Mina as she lazily sat at the kitchen table slowly eating her toast, "you shouldn?t have taken classes in the morning everyone knows you can?t get up for the life of it." Serena just glared at her room mate and continued her tirade around the apartment, searching for her stuff. "HAH! Found them!" she screamed as she raced through the living room door and into the kitchen holding her keys. She hurriedly grabbed a piece of toast and ran out of the apartment. "Bye Mina!"she screamed as she slammed the door shut behind her. Running to the elevator, she finished off her toast and pushed the button marked "down". Once in the elevator, she used the mirrored walls to put on her make-up, looking perfect even in her hurried state. Running through the main doors to the apartment she waved and smiled to the doorman, showing that even in her great rush, she still took the time to be courteous. Getting into her silver Mercedes Benz convertible CLK 360, she took off. Not too hurried now that she knew she could make it. ?I don?t know what Mina was talking about...sure, I WAS tardy a lot when I was in junior high and the first two years of high school...but I changed drastically. I never was late again. Even though the reason I wasn?t late as because I had gotten a car and didn?t have to make that ten minute run to school everyday...but she doesn?t need to know that...? Her train of thought was cut short when she reached the college, parking in front of the law building, she got out of the car and got to her classes. ?Just made it! A minute later and I would have been late...? ***** "Is she gone?" he asked. His blonde companion just laughed. "I never imagined the day when I?d see the great Darien Chiba hiding behind a TRASH CAN to get away from a GIRL!" Darien glared and said, " That?s not just some girl...it?s Beryl! And she would NOT leave me alone. I think she?s resorted to stalking now!" Andrew laughed harder, "In away I?m not surprised...I?d probably do the same thing if I had her chasing after me. But still...this is YOU! Mr. I?m-so-calm-and-collected-and-have-girls- throwing-themselves-at-my-feet! Hiding behind a trash can!" And he was off again. "Oh, shut-up, Andrew!" he said sanding up and brushing himself off. "Atleast now I can go to class without worrying about he-" "Darien! There you are!" screeched a high, overly-sweet voice. "Oh...Beryl...uhm..." "Great! Now we can go for some ice cream and maybe some shopping?" she said, twinkling her eyes at him. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "You see...actually..." "Great lets go!" Darien sent a pleading look to his friend. "Actually," said Andrew, stepping if for him, "we have to go to class now...maybe he?ll take you some other time, okay, beryl?" She pouted and said, "Okay...sure." Then turning to Darien, she winked and said "I?ll be waiting..." and turned around walking away slowly swaying her hips obviously. "Thanks man...I owe you one." "That great and all but if we don?t get a move on we?ll be late for class!" said Andrew turning in the opposite direction from which Beryl had just gone. "Shit! We?re gonna be late!" said Darien as they raced off towards the medical building. ********** AN: Soooo...what did you think? Please email me at Rassgulla1@aol.com and tell me!
