' ' = What the character is thinking
"Fate"
You know, everyone always wonders if fate is real. If it really exists, or if it's just something someone made up to explain the unexplainable. Well maybe this story will prove that it really exists.
'Oh crap I'm going to be late!' Serena Tsukino thought as she stopped her car at the red light. 'It's not my fault that this stupid article about peoples opinions on cloning and what they're gonna do about it took me so long!' Serena reasoned to herself. Yes, at 21 she was already a well-paid journalist. Writing was something that she was always good at. Minus the spelling and grammar mistakes of course. But these days, computers took care of that. She wore her hair up in its usual buns with two pigtails coming out of them. She had a royal blue business skirt suit on, which made her soft blue eyes stand out, and her makeup was light. "Finally it's green!" She yelled as she sped down the road. She pulled up in front of a high-rise building and got out of her car with a manila folder in hand. As soon as she locked her car, she ran through the double doors, which read "Tokyo times" above it, and went straight to the elevator and hit the 'up' button. 'Come on, hurry up' Serena thought to herself while she waited with 3 other people. Soon the elevator arrived and she hastily got in pressing the number 6. When the doors opened she ran into the hallway and didn't stop until she reached the 3rd door on the left. She stopped outside the doors and composed herself and fixed her hair a little bit. Serena walked inside casually and took her seat at the long table. "Sorry I'm late," she apologized to everyone, "I got caught in traffic." Serena managed a weak smile at her pathetic excuse. "It's alright," her boss, Sean said, "We're all used to your lateness by now Ms. Tsukino." Serena face flushed in embarrassment. "Now lets get on with it, shall we?" Sean started. "Hey Serena," Nick whispered, "You finish your story?" Serena sat two seats away from the end, where her boss sat, and Nick sat to her right. They were pretty good friends, their offices were right across from each other. "At the last minute," she whispered back. He chuckled in response, which then made his light dimples appear. Serena smiled. "Serena!" Sean bellowed from his chair. "Yes?" She replied, her head jerking up. "You'll be doing an article on new businesses and what the competition is like in these days for our magazine. You leave for eastern Tokyo in two days; your flight tickets and such are on your desk. I'll expect you to email me your notes on about your article a week and a half after your stay. The details of your assignment are with your tickets. By the way, have you finished your present article? I believe it was due today. And we can print it in our newspaper for tomorrow" "Yes" Serena answered as she passed the manila folder down. "And thank you," she added, excited that she'd get to do such a big article. 'Oh wow!' she thought to herself. Outside she maintained a calm countenance, but inside she was as giddy as a 14 year old again. Soon the meeting was over and everyone went on to his or her normal schedules.
When Serena arrived at her desk, which was littered with papers and photographs of her family and friends, she saw a single white envelope on top. Serena rushed to it and tore it open. A folded piece of paper and a ticket fell out. She picked up the ticket, 'first class, alright!' "Hey Serena, congratulation on your new assignment." Nick said to her as he settled into his own office. "Thanks" she replied. "You do know that one of the reasons that Sean wants YOU to do this particular assignment is because of your people skills." Nick stated. "No, why would that even matter?" Nick sighed, and replied with "IF one of the companies agree to subscribe to our newspaper, or magazine, do you know what a big boost that'll be for us?" "But why didn't he tell me about all this?" Serena asked, totally confused. "Have you read that paper on your desk?" He asked quirking an eyebrow. Serena picked up the folded piece of paper, and started reading it. Sure enough in it, it explained that she was also there to try and get companies to subscribe to their newspaper or magazines. 'Great! I already have enough trouble with writing the article, but now i have to do this too.' Serena let out an exasperated sigh. She started making a list of what she should include in her article, and all the necessary details she'd need to know.
'Just great!' Thought Darien Shields as he walked out of his office. 'Even if I try to take a vacation, i still have to do work while I'm there! Why the hell did I tell Aaron to send out all those quotations to those other companies? Now I've got meetings all through out my vacation!' "Hey boss here are your plane tickets." Aaron said as he rushed up to Darien and handed them to him. Aaron was a short 29 year old, with a shock of red hair and piercing gray eyes. "Thank you," Darien replied; "Take care of things while I'm away." Aaron was the assistant manager so he was the only one up for the job. "Sure thing boss," he replied, "Hope you have a good vacation." Darien smiled in acknowledgement and walked away. 'Yea sure I'll escape to the land of meetings!' He thought sarcastingly. Sure owning one of the biggest computer services made you rich, but it left you with no time to yourself. 'At least I'm traveling first class. Even though I hate flying.'
Serena went home late that night; she had had a lot of paper work at the office. When she got to her cozy two-bedroom apartment, she took a long shower and changed into her PJ's. Serena started calling her friends, Mina, Lita, Ami and Rei about her assignment, and also to tell them that she couldn't make for their little get together next weekend.
The next day went by pretty fast. She had planned on packing but ended up having dinner with her friends after work. As for Darien, he had taken the day of. He had packed his bags and readied the papers and such he may need for the meetings he had scheduled for the week. This took up most of his day.
~*The Next Day*~
Serena woke and looked at her bedside clock, which read 1:30 pm. "Oh Crap!" She yelled, "I'm gonna be late!" She threw the white fluffy covers of off her and jumped out of her queen size bed, trying to find her slippers. Serena took a quick shower, dressed and put her hair up into the usual "meatballs". She got out her black suitcase and threw it on the bed.
As you enter her room, her bed is in the center. There's a balcony of to left off the room with sheer silver colored drapes, and there's a walk-in closet in the right corner of the room. There is a bathroom next to the walk-in closet.
It took her about an hour to pack, and she ended up taking an extra duffle bag along. Her flight started at 9:00 pm, which was about 5 and half hours away. After she was sure that everything was set for her trip, she picked up her black cat which was sleeping at the end of her bed, got her (the cats') food bowl, liter box, and carrying cage. Since she didn't know how long she'd be away, Serena had decided to leave her cat, Luna, at her friend Ami's.
~*At Ami's*~
'Knock Knock Knock!' Ami's opened the door of the town house stayed in a couple of minute later. "Hey Ames!' Serena yelled giddily. "Hey Serena," Ami replied, "Come on in." Serena dropped all the things she had brought with her for the cat, including Luna. "Thanks for taking care of Luna while I'm away," Serena said politely. "Oh sure, no problem." Ami replied as she motioned for Serena to sit down.
"Do you want anything?" Ami asked.
"No I'm alright."
"So... tell me more about this assignment of yours." Ami said as she took a seat next to Serena. It took a couple of hours for Serena to explain the ordeal, and by the time she was done she was starved.
"Hey lets go out to lunch, I still have some time to spare before i have to leave for the airport."
"Alright, that sounds good," Ami said.
They had a late lunch/ early dinner and the Moonlight Cafe as they caught up on things. And it was soon decided that all of their friends needed to spend a weekend together to catch up on things. What with their busy lives, they barely saw each other anymore. About an hour later they said their goodbyes in front of the cafe and went their separate ways (Ami had come in her own car). Serena drove home, and parked her car in the garage nearby her building. It was 7:30 when she got inside her apartment. She got all her things ready and called a cab. It took about twenty minutes to get to the airport depending on traffic. At the airport she went through all the security things, and had her suitcase sent to the plane. She decided to carry her purse and duffel bag. 'Lets see, gate 16...' By the time she got there, they were boarding. Serena rushed over to the back of the line.
Darien had gotten to the airport early and was the second one to board the plane. He had decided to take his laptop, and a small duffel bag on to the plane with him. 'No matter how elegant they try to make it, traveling is still traveling. At least i have a window seat.' He thought as he got comfortable in his seat and flipped through a National Geographic magazine that the stewardess had offered him.
Serena boarded the plane and started searching for her seat. 'Lets see, seat 32A, 32A...' "May I help you to you seat mam?" A short red haired stewardess asked her. "Yes, please," Serena said as she handed her ticket to her. When they entered the first class cabin, the stewardess pointed to Serena's seat.
"Will you be needing anything?" she asked politely.
"No thank you, I'm fine," Serena replied as she walked in the direction the stewardess had pointed her.
Serena got to her seat and dropped her duffel bag when she saw whom she'd be sitting next to. "Good lord not you!" She said surprised and a bit outraged. The man looked up to see who it was and you could only see the surprise on his face for a second before it was replaced by a quirky grin. "Gee meatball head, good to see you too!"
The end! Well for chapter one at least Please review, leave thoughts ideas whatever! I want to know what you guys think of it so far. I know nothing that big happened yet, but this part was necessary. I'll have the next chapter out in a couple of days, until then, Ja!
