A Walk on Water

By unknown

The scene was dark, damp and chilling.  It was the night of Serena Tsukino's birthday.  She wore a flowingly beautiful gown that made her the shining star of the evening.  That night turned to mass horror.  People running and screaming, terrified to the very last drop of rain.  Damon was the eye of destruction. He was yet another crazed enemy who's desire was to spread panic and fear throughout the views of millions, and perhaps billions.  And he was, yet another crazed enemy who's desire was having Serena's affection.

The fierce battle went into course, and many casualties had been made.  It was pure horror. The sailor scouts had never encountered an enemy with such a horrific view to kill.  The sailor scouts knew that they could not die today, but another day. Before the last blow was struck, sailor moon did something so very brave. She willed to risk her happiness to keep everyone alive.  That day is the day everyone died.

In the 30th century, the world was a beautiful place, filled with beautiful people.  The most beautiful of all, were 9 babies, born within 3 years.  These infants were not ordinary infants.  They were the most precious of all children.  And no one knew who they would grow up to be.

" Mr. Tsukino" a calming voice said as she walked into the room.

"Yes?" the man replied looking up from the floor to the woman's face.

"Congratulations. It's a girl, the woman said with a reassuring smile.

"Ah hah!" the man shouted with joy. He ran into the room where his wife was.  "Kenji, it's a girl, the woman on the bed said in a weak tone.  "Ikuko" replied the man with a smile and tear in his eyes.  The woman had a child in her arms. "What do we name her?" Ikuko said as Kenji was playing with the baby's hands and smiling.  "Serena. We agreed that if it was a boy it would be Sammy" Kenji replied.

The next day, Ikuko and Kenji came back to their beautiful home in Tokyo.  When they had entered, a "Surprise!" was yelled to congratulate the recent mother.  Her friends, family and neighbors were all there.  A little boy with black hair who was about 3 years old was hiding behind a woman who was Ikuko's neighbor and best friend.  Kenji put the baby next to this little boy, so he could play with her.  Ikuko's parents were unsure of the boy playing with a newborn.  The boy looked at her, with his blue eyes meeting hers.  He put out his finger for the baby to grab.  The boy smiled. He knew he had just made a new friend.

 Serena was now a few years older, 4.  She had long blonde hair and blue eyes.  Her skin was a pale pink color, unlike her newborn brother, Sammy Tsukino.  Sammy was a young one whose eyes matched his sisters, and his hair was a sandy brown and his skin was as tan as sand.  He had a rugged look.  Sammy was definitely a Tsukino.

The boy next door was now 8 years old.  His name was Darien Chiba.  He was a young boy who had dark hair that had streaks of blue, and his eyes the same color.  He and Serena Tsukino had been the best of friends.  The two were practically inseparable.  Darien would always come to Serenas house after school was over, and afterwards, they would go and talk to each other through their stringed cans from their parallel windows.  

            One Day, Serena noticed something terribly wrong with her house.  Ikuko was crying and Kenji was comforting her.  Serena gathered every ounce of courage to ask her father what was wrong with her mother.  She also noticed that her father was trying to bottle up his sorry by clenching his knee.  She immediately turned away.  She walked upstairs to call Darien with her cans.  Darien wasnt around.  Serena decided to take another approach- to see if he was in the house.  She crept downstairs, without disturbing her parents.  She went through the gate that opened up into Dariens yard.  She slowly walked on his back lawn, being careful so as not to be caught.  Darien had sliding glass doors in his back entrance.  Serena glued her face to the glass door, moving her eyes slowly, scanning each visible room.  She decided to go back inside her house, and slowly, she reached her destination.  There was so much a little girl could not do!  As she paced her kitchen, she thought about ways to find out what was going on.  She was clueless- unless ... instead of having to ask someone about her parents, she was going to tell the person what was going on.  She quickly ran upstairs to her parents bedroom, where there was a telephone.  The telephone was oblivious to her, and she went to a crib next to her mothers side of the bed.  Inside was Sammy.  With his eyes wide open, Serena knew he was the one that she would be able to talk to.  "Sammy, what big eyes you have", Serena quoted from the recent story she heard form school.  Sammy made a kind of grr sound, then smiled and laughed.  "Sammy, what big ears you have," Serena said with a smile.  Sammy responded in the same way.  "Sammy, what big teeth you have," she finally said.  Sammy began to smile, clap and make happy baby noises.

"Sammy, I think Darien is gone" serena said with a hint of sadness.  "I don't know when i'll see him again" this time, serena was on the floor crying until she fell asleep.

Serena awoke, and this time, she was not 4 years old anymore.  She was 17.  Serena's life seemed like an empty fantasy, without the fantasy actually there.  She was now a beautiful young woman whose goals were to live a happier life.

 Serena was walking in the park with her fiend Rae, from the Cherry Hill temple.  Rae was Serena's close friend who met the previous year.  Rae was a beautiful and very straight forward person.  Rae had participated in various beauty contests and won. 

As they walked by, a rather familiar man happened to glance the girls' way, and notice the blonde beauty.  She was intoxicating, and he recognized some kind of familiarity in her eyes.  He had a feeling that he knew her but, couldn't put his finger on it.
