"Thats alot to digest." Rei said. "Maybee we should call it an evening?" Ken suggested. "Mina and I are staying at Dariens tonight. She's gonna help me with somethings for school." Serena said. "Serena i thought you were supposed to work today." Irene said. "I got drunk last night for the second time in my life, and was not feeling well enough to work today. Heather needed the hours and aggread to cover for me. I was going to go to work, but Darien told me he'd rather not having me working with a hangover. He was afraid that i would hurt myself in some way." Serena said. "So what did you do today?" Irene asked. "We Ate and went to storage. While at storage Rei found the papers, and we decided to come here and talk this out with you." Serena answered. "I was just wondering something, why did you get drunk?" Ken asked. "I was depressed and upset. Last night before Andrews party there was a battle. I was just getting off work when i got the call. They were at the park and needed help. I got there as fast as possible. I ran into 3 other yoma. I got injured, but killed them, and got to the team as soon as possible. I killed the yoma as fast as possible. Mina decided I wasn't fast enough, and yelled at me. Lita cut me off before i could explain. She said they were tired of hearing my excuses. Ami then cut in and said that Leaders aren't supposed to be late and lazy. Mina then said that they didn't want me for their leader anymore. The other two aggread, and they turned tail and left. I have no idea where Rei was. I never saw her till afterword. I asked her why she didn't go with them, and she said she didn't agree with them. She then helped me back her where she and mom proceeded to clean my back and legs and arm." Serena answered. "Why didn't they give you a chance to explain?" Victoria asked. "Because they never do." Rei answered for her.

"Rena you should tell them about whats going on this summer." Darien said. "I'm going to go to Rome with Rei and Marissa. Dariens using it as a business write off. He's going to work this summer, and I get to see Rome and try my hand at modeling." Serena said. "Sounds like fun, but what about the scouts?" Sammy asked. "They don't want me, they made that clear. They can handle theselves." Serena answered. "Were gonna go. We'll see you later." Rei said. They walked out the door, but Serena was back in 2 minutes later to grab her backpack, and some clean clothes.

Rei helped Serena finish her report. When they finished they got ready for bed and they all ordered a pizza and soda, and watched a movie. Serena fell asleep against Darien sometime during the movie. "Darien, look." Rei nodded toward a sleeping Serena. "She's exausted. Go take her to bed. I'll sleep in the spare room." Rei said. Darien Smiled, picked up Serena and went to the bedroom. He laid her down on the bed and covered her up. He grabbed a clean shirt and tossed it on. He slipped off his jeans and slid into bed next to Serena. For a long time he just laid there watching her sleep ocasionally stroking her cheek and once moving a stray strand of hair out of her face. He fell asleep shortly after midnight.

The next 6 weeks went by rather quickly. Serena and Rei spent as much of their free time together as possible looking for Travis.
By graduation Serena knew she was pregnent. Rei knew too. She refused to tell Darien though untill she came back from Rome. She was only 18 and this was a once in a lifetime oppertunity. She wasn't about to let Darien tell her she couldn't go.
