Crystal: Crystal here, peeps! Mosha's not here right now, please leave a message! *Cut to view of Mosha staring vacantly at the ceiling, drooling* See what I mean? So I'm starting on P. Two. Part One was revised because it had scrolling. FLUCKING NOTEPAD!!!!!! Mosha: Yeah, you son of a pansy! Crystal: @.@ BTW, I made an error in P. 1! I put Andrew working at Cayley's (MY store, heeheehee) Mosha: You're not supposed to tell them your real name! Crystal: You did, Tyra-chan! Mosha: Fine. I don't care. Hmph.*Goes back to staring vacantly* Crystal: Anyways, I put Andrew working at Cayley's, and Motoki talking to Mamoru in Japan. I'm SORRY! Anyhoo, hope you enjoy this. Thank you so much for actually BEING HERE! YAAAAYYYYY!!! ^_^ Without further ado, the next part of Eclipsed! Dedicated to MiyadiLabs, who was rather *cough cough* enthusiastic *cough cough* about this next part and the next part of Crystal of Love. It's coming, I promise! Mosha: I thought you said without further ado. Crystal: *Whacks her with Jessie's fan again* Mosha: Owwwwwwwww...you're an insane psycho! Crystal: No duh! Most peeps would have figured it out by now! Are you slow or something? Mosha: mmmmm boogersicles... Crystal: Let's move on...^^ Eclipsed Part 2 @)~~Dedicated to MiyadiLabs~~(@ Serena smiled charmingly at Dare, walking down the street to Northern White. "Hey Dare, let's go to the park after, kay?" Darien smiled back. "Isn't it a little cold?" "Mmmmmm..." Serena considered, "Yeah. Let's just stay there." "Fine with me." Darien said agreeably. @)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>>>> "A double chocolate fudge and a-what do you want?" Serena asked Dare, an odd sense of nostalgia running through her, and an impending sense of anticipationg crowding her mind. "Black forest," Darien nodded to the girl at the counter. Serena smiled as she paid the vendor and sat down at one of the booths with her cone. She then remembered...they both still had their masks on! She groaned inwardly. No WONDER everyone had been giving them strange looks-they were still in their costumes! They probably appeared to have just come out of the rubber room. Crystal: *Wink* That one's for you, Mosha! Serena was lost in thought as they finished off the ice cream, thinking about her past. Her friends Ami, Mako, Mina, and Rei...she missed them. Haruka and Michiru...she hoped they were happy together, and that Haruka wasn't still risking his life on the track. Ami had been...not exactly withdrawn, but shy and intelligent. The delicate girl had been smart enough to find a cure for the common cold, if she put her mind to it. Mako...well, Mako-chan was the strong one, ready to beat up anyone who harassed her friends Ami, Usa, and Mina-Rei could take care of herself. The girl, although forbidding, had had a gentle nature hidden away, which she only showed when she was with her friends or tending to her plants. Mina...Minako, the bouncy, smiling child-she was far too naive. She was so cheerful and happy, ready to cheer anyone up...but there was something about her. Something that had told Usagi if Minako had ever had to fight for her friends-really FIGHT-she would unleash something buried deep inside her, a deadly, shining golden light, that would be more powerful than the sun. And Rei. The spiritual Shinto priestess who was kindred to the flames. Her psychic powers-Usagi had had no doubts that she had them-only increased the layer of mysticness that hung around Rei. Rei was the one Usagi had always felt closest to, *the powerful but strangely calm girl.* *Crystal: That was a quote from manga one, by Luna. Heehee! Aren't I smart? Mosha: No. Crystal: YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SH...nit. Shnit! Mosha:*-_-*; Crystal: Son of a pansy! Mocha: *Pulls her offstage but we can see curtains rustling and the sounds of kicks and punches* Crystal: *Magically pokes her head through the curtain* Oh, and no ecchi thoughts, ya hear me? And Mamoru. But Serena refused to think about him. Darien noticed his date's preoccupied demeanor. "Hey Serena," he said mischeviously, "if you'll let me take you to one more place I'll tell you who I am to Alderaan..." Serena practically whirlwinded him out the door. "Come ON, Dare! Where are we going?" Darien yelled, "TAXI!" As they got into the bright yellow, slightly smelly car, Serena said, "Well, if you tell me who you are, why would it make much of a difference?" Her voice started to become harder. "I don't judge people on who they are. I judge them on how they act." "Whoa!" Darien exclaimed, taken aback at the layer of ice that had suddenly formed over Serena's eyes as she glared at him. "Sorry. You're just so curious, I thought it might matter to you." A slight trace of ice also crept into his eyes as he stared at Serena, and also a bit of hurt. "Sorry!" Serena squeezed his hand. "I really overreacted. It's just...I once was in love with this guy, and he up and left me. I guess...I'm just kinda suspicious of black-haired men." She smiled at him and flicked a lock of black hair out of his face. Darien felt forgiveness, Darien felt jealousy, Darien felt possesiveness. What is WITH me? He thought to himself. I'm having more mood swings than Crystal on PMS! Crystal: *Her jaw drops* Mosha: How..how..how.. Crystal: Hey, it's my story! Teeheehee! You're in love, Darien's mind calmly informed him. I can't be, Darien thought fiercely, I love Usako! Hey, I just make sensible omnipotent comments, Mamoru, I don't tell ya anything that's not true. I'm DARIEN. You're sure acting like Mamoru. Darien's a cold jerk who's only love is the company and money. Mamoru was happy, even if he was only a college student. I'm still not in love with her. Oh yeah? YES! Fine then, I guess you'll have to figure it out by yourself. Darien squeezed Serena's hand back, and she felt almost weak-kneed. You're in love, Serena's mind calmly informed her. I can't be...but Mamoru left me. Maybe I can be. I'm not one of my characters, I can recover from a broken heart. I'm not going to swoon and say I'll never love again because I can. Nevertheless, Serena's heart ached as she thought of the seventeen year old Mamoru with his quirky grin and ocean blue eyes. "We're here," Darien announced, interrupting her revelry. Yes, she could very well love this man, if Mamoru hadn't taken her heart. As hard as she tried, she couldn't get it back. Darien walked around the back of the car and opened Serena's door. "The park?" Serena asked curiously. "What are we going to do here?" "You'll see," Darien grinned at her. He led Serena to a quiet, secluded spot. "Oh! Willows!" Serena exclaimed happily. "They're so lovely! I just love willow trees!" She ran to the bench and sat down on it. "What a view!" The bench was on the top of a slight hill, and the view of the park with the small creek running around it, especially at night, was breathtaking. "Wow," Serena breathed as Darien sat down beside her. "Serena," Darien whispered into her ear, brushing away her thick silver hair, I'm really," he started to take off his mask and, as she turned to face him, she took off hers as well. "Usako?!" Darien stared at her. "Mamo-chan?!" Serena cried. She stood up and dropped her mask. "No..no!" "Usako!" Darien held his hands out towards her pleadingly. "No, Mamoru! You took my heart and you STEPPED ON IT! YOU LEFT ME!" Serena shouted at him with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Let me explain, Usako-" Darien grabbed her and couldn't suppress the urge he'd had for ten years. He grabbed Serena around the waist and kissed her fervently. Please, don't let her leave, he begged. Serena hesitated. Dear God, she had missed him...But he couldn't just come back, like she'd hoped. She'd been waiting for him for ten years, and then he just up and KISSED HER?! Serena shoved him away. "UH-UH, MAMO-CHAN! YOU LEFT ME AND I CAN'T FORGIVE THAT!" "Wait-wait, USAKO!" Darien shouted after her as she darted off for the road. "USAKO!" He ran after her, but it was too late. She'd gotten into a taxi and left. Crystal: I know it's short, but Mosha REALLY wanted to write, and- Mosha: *Imitates Crystal* I wouldn't let her. Crystal: Ya -bleeep bleep bleep bleeep-! Mosha: Ya kiss your mother with that mouth? Crystal: At least I don't kiss her ON the mouth! Mosha: What are you saying?! Crystal: What, ya can't figure it out on your own? Tiggy and Solly a.k.a Suicidalkitty (the author's respective cats) come out. Tiggy: I guess we're going to have to close it for them. Solly: Stupid humans.
