Forword: In the previous part, I feel compelled to mention that, in the original Manga, that is the way Serena meets Luna, by tripping over her. Please send me e-mails at alyanawhitemage@hotmail.com I love to get feedback and I promise to answer if I possibly can. This picks up after Serena has gotten to school a week after running from Luna. She and Molly are at lunch and are talking.

Dedication: My boyfriend... And Serena.

~Something About That Girl~ (Part II: The Nightmare)

"Oh, Molly. My mom is going to kill me for this grade!"

"Why are you worrying, Serena, you never cared before?"

"Oh, it's just that lately..."

"Lately what? You can tell me, Serena."

Serena sighed heavily. "Well, Moll, I'm tired. Not just tired from lack of sleep, but tired of going to school. I feel so worthless, no matter how I try I can never seem to get things right! I so wanted this time to be different, but it seems like something inside of me just won't let me do things the way I know I can do them. And, Moll, even with you... I'm so lonely. Even when I'm at the arcade in the middle of a group of friends, I'm lonely. It's as if something's missing from it, that its empty somehow." Serena cut off abruptly.

"No, Serena, I'm not mad. Please, tell me what's wrong."

"I've been having these nightmares every night for a week. Every night it gets clearer and I remember more, like the thing that's causing it is getting closer. I don't know how to explain it really, it's mostly hazy pictures and feelings. I'm--somewhere--and it's cold, so very cold. I can't feel anything in my body, except that there are tears on my face and my hands are burning... But whatever is burning them isn't touching the skin. It's like they're burning inside. I'm sad. I'm sadder than I've ever been in my life. That scares me more than almost anything, that and what comes next. I'm so filled with sorrow, I'm blind with it, it's like everyone's dead or something. Then I have this sense of terrible urgency, I have to do something and I have to do it THEN, the right way, otherwise... I don't know the otherwise. This terrible face looms in front of me, it's black and shadowy... Its eyes glow red. I'm terrified of it, so scared I can barely move. The burning in my hands get worse, and I try to kill it with them, but I don't think I can do it without--someone--and then there's this horrible pain. And then... And then nothing at all. Just black."

"Serena, that sounds horrible!" Molly exclaimed tearfully.

"Yes. It's even worse to expeirience. And even before I had the nightmare, I was scared. I was just walking around being scared of something--it doesn't make any sense! It's gotten even worse lately... I'm so scared, Molly. And I don't even know what I'm scared of."

End Part II
