10 Reasons Why I Love You

By Princesses Mercury and Venus

Prologue: Fate, Destiny and Love.

"Are you sure that this is a good idea?" Fate, the youngest of the three sisters asked timidly, "We really shouldn't play around with what's supposed to be. Father will be angry."

"Of course it's a good idea, what's the point of being all powerful if we can't help out the world every once and a while." Love replied brushing a strand of red hair out of her rose colored eyes, "If those two don't get together than the world is doomed, and all of your pretty humans will be gone with it."

"I guess you're right."

A sarcastic snort emerged from a dark corner. "Fate, you are way too easy to convince." Destiny swayed over to the pool of water which her younger sisters stood staring into. "Love just wants a happy ending, she's a sucker for romance."

"What's the problem with that?" Love huffed sulkily.

"The problem," Destiny pronounced fingering a necklace of blue jewels that suddenly became a gold chain and then transformed back into the necklace this time with red stones, "Is that it was not meant to be. Those two have fallen in love many times over the millenia and tragedy has always struck before they could live happily. Queen Serenity, Goddess watch over her soul, asked Father to keep those two apart so at least they could live one lifetime of happiness, but you," she stabbed a finger at Love's chest, "You had to interfere and they were born in the same time, in the same country and now they have found each other. Do you know how hard Father has had to work to make sure that neither ever realized their love?"

"Yes, but--" Love began.

"No buts! It is not meant to be."

"Please sister," Fate clasped one of Destiny's fingers in a tiny, pudgy hand, "Just this once, can't we please help the Princess of the Moon and the Prince of Earth." She stared up at Destiny with large, deep violet eyes, "Please?"

"Oh, don't give me the child act, Fate, change back into your adult form."

With a wrinkle of her nose the child glowed and when the light subsided an ageless woman was in her place. "Fine," Fate grinned mischieviously, "If you don't help us I'll tell Father who ate his chocolate cake."

"That was over five millenia ago!"

"Do you think he's forgotten?"

Destiny sighed beneath the gazes of her two sisters. "Fine," she relinquished, "But if we're going to do this, we're going to do this right. None of that boring 'I suddenly realize that you are my one and only love' crap. Got it?"

Fate nodded and Love giggled. "Don't worry, I have the perfect plan."

It had been a horrible day. Her hair wasn't doing what it was supposed to, she had found a huge zit at the edge of her chin, she had rushed out of her house without eating breakfast or grabbing her lunch, and still was late for class earning her yet another detention. She had also stubbed her toe twice, fallen into a puddle, scraped her knee and gotten into a fight with Raye. All she wanted to do now was stare out into the setting sun and pretend like she didn't exist.

"Oi! Meatball Head!" A familiar voice called, "Trying to get a tan? You know it only works when there's an actual sun."

"Leave me alone, Shields," Serena groaned, "I'm not in the mood."

Darien jogged up beside her and they were silent for a moment. Serena let out a breath of relief. As long as he was quiet, she could pretend like he wasn't there and relax; forget about everything that had happened today...

"So, I didn't see you in the Arcade today, Meatball Head."

"That's because I didn't go, I had detention," she said through gritted teeth.

"Why'd you get a detention this time? Blondeness?"

And that was it for Serena. Something inside her broke down. She hated him. She hated her life. She hated everything. Why couldn't everyone just leave her alone? She didn't even realize she was moving until she heard Darien calling after her.

"Wait Meatball Head, it was a joke chill out! I'm sorry, okay? Come back!"

But that only made her move faster until she was in a flat out run. She was tired of his excuses and his apologies. He said he was sorry but he never meant it. She wasn't going to be his little joke anymore. Blinded by her tears she didn't even notice when she ran out onto the road. The squealing of breaks was her only warning. She turned and the bright headlights burned her eyes. There was only the blinding light and then only darkness.

Darien saw the whole thing and for a moment he couldn't believe it. He saw the car come barreling towards her. Saw her freeze and stare at it as if she couldn't believe her eyes either and then saw it slam into her. She flew into the air as if she were a rag doll and for one split second her body seemed to hang in the air, alluminated by the still setting sun. She looked like an angel, but then gravity took hold and she fell to the ground with a sickening crunch.

He thought she was dead. No one could survive something like that. He was the first to run over to her. He knew enough not to move her, who knew what kind of damage that could do to her spinal cord, but he did cover her with is jacket. She had to stay warm.

If she's dead, it wouldn't really matter if she stayed warm, a snide voice in his head commented.

She's not dead! She can't be dead, another voice yelled back, Oh please, don't let her be dead. Serena. Serena, it's all my fault. It's all my fault.

A man from the crowd approached him. "Don't worry, the ambulance is on it's way. They'll help your girlfriend."

Darien barely heard them and didn't bother to correct him; he was too busy crying over Serena's broken body.
