Don't Take the Girl

*disclaimers: I don't own Sailor Moon that's owned by Naoko Takeuchi. I don't own the song Don't Take the Girl, that's Tim McGraw's song.

*Author's Note: This fic doesn't have a happy ending, sorry. If you don't want to read it hit the back button now. I understand if you don't. I was kinda depressed when I wrote this and I just happen to hear this song on the radio. I thought what the hell it couldn't hurt. This is the end product. I'm using the NA names for it, it just feels right. This is an alt-reality fic. In this one Darien's parents never died. Enjoy.

Chapter One

"Darien, time to get up. You don't want to miss the big fishing trip do you?" Craig Shields said as he opened the door to his son's room.

"Five more minutes, please," an eight year old Darien mumbled from under his covers.

Craig walked over and removed the covers from the boy's head. "We need to get going soon if we want to make it to the cabin before dark," he told his son.

"Okay, I'm up dad," Darien said yawning.

"Alright, tiger, see you down stairs in a couple minutes. If I don't I'll be back to get you," Craig said as he left.

Darien got out of bed and changed into some clothes and troded down the stairs to the kitchen. He went to the first cabinet and pulled out a bowl and then got a box of Kix and made himself some breakfast. After breakfast he went back upstairs and grabbed his suit case and fishing gear. He had been waiting for three months to go on this trip. It was just going to be him and his dad. He could hardly contain himself from bursting with excitement.

An hour later and he had all his stuff loaded. Just as the two guys were about to get into the old pickup Serena, the girl from next door, came up to the front gate and opened it. Darien took one look at her and freaked out, she was carring a small suit case and fishing gear. "No way are we taking here dad. This was suppose to be just me and you, remember?" Darien said.

"I know son, but her parents asked if she could go and I couldn't help but say yes. Besides it'll still be fun. We'll just have one more person to have fun with," Craid said.

"No she can't go. I know we can take Dave or Jimmy from down the road. Why not take my best friend Andrew? Please don't let her come. Please don't take the girl, please," Darien pleaded.

"Son, I know you really don't want her to go. I'm sorry but I already said she could. Besides, someday you'll change your mind," Craig said.

Darien grumbled something not understandable and crossed his arms, admitting defeat. 'Man, how can dad take her? This was our fishing trip, just me and him. Now we have to take some dumb girl, well I'll make her sorry she decided to come,' Darien thought as he started to scheme.

"Hello, Mr. Shields, Darien," Serena said.

"Why hello Serena. Are you ready to fish with us," Craig said to the five year old girl.

"Yup, I'm all ready," Serena said smiling.

The three of them loaded up and left for the lake. After a four hour drive they finally pulled up to the cabin and unloaded their stuff. After dinner the three of them set out for a little bit of fishing before dark.

When Craig got up to get some sodas for the three of them Darien made his move. As soon as he was out of sight Darien got up and walked over to Serena. "So are you having fun?" he asked.

"Yes, this is really fun. Thank you for letting me come Darien," Serena said.

"Well I'm not having fun. This was suppose to be between me and dad. You have no place here, so why don't you go for a swim," Darien said tossing the small girl into the water.

"Help! Please help....I...can't sw...im," Serena choked out.

"I know. This will teach you to come between my dad and me," Darien said.

"Darien...please..he..," Serena said going under again.

Craig came back and saw that Darien was alone and there were bubbles and some disappearing blonde hair in the water. He quickly jumped in to rescue the girl. He brought her out and checked to see is she was breathing. When she wasn't he quickly applied cpr and brought her back.

"Serena are you okay?" Craig said.

"No, I want to go home. Darien pushed me in the water then wouldn't help me," Serena said crying.

"Darien is this true?" Craig asked.

"Yes, this was supposed to be a trip for just you and me. That brat had to tag along. I hate her dad, I hate her so very much," Darien said.

"We'll talk about this later young man. I need to get Serena back to the cabin. You gather the fishing gear up and head back," Craid said.

One hour later showed Darien and Craig talking while Serena slept in one of the bedrooms. "Do you know she almost died today?" Craig asked.

"So what? She wasn't suppose to be here anyways," Darien said as angry tears filled his eyes.

"So what?!? So what?!? I didn't raise you to do something like this. First thing in the morning you are going to apologize to her. Then you are not leaving the cabin for the rest of the time we are here. When we get home you are grounded until further notice. Do you understand me young man?"

"Yes sir," Darien said as a couple tears fell from his eyes.

In the morning Darien came from his bedroom to get some breakfast. When Serena saw him she shrank away in fear. Darien saw her and tears started to form in his eyes. 'Did I really scare her that bad? I know what I did was wrong, but she shouldn't have been here in the first place. I didn't want her to die, but I wanted to spend some time alone with my dad," Darien thought.

"Good morning Serena, Darien," Craid said as he came into the kitchen. "Do you want to go out with me today Serena?"

"Yes, that sounds like fun Mr. Shields," Serena said.

"Darien do you have something to tell Serena?" Craig asked his son.

"Sorry Serena," Darien said.

"That's right," Craig said.

"Sorry you had to come," Darien said.

"Darien go to your room now. If you aren't there when we get back then you will be in even more trouble," Craig said.

"Serena, I'm sorry you had to see that. I'm also sorry for the way that Darien has treated you. He is in a lot of trouble," Craig said.

"It's okay, I forgive him," Serena said smiling.

The rest of the trip went without incident. As they left Darien came up to Serena. "Serena, I really am sorry I pushed you in the water. I was wrong and shouldn't have done that."

"I forgive you Darien. I'm sorry for coming between you and your dad," Serena said.

"It's okay. I was jealous, I still shouldn't have pushed you into the water," Darien said. "Friends?" he asked extending his hand.

"Friends," Serena said by passing his hand giving Darien a hug.
