    Hello there =),

    I''m not sure if this is appropriate, if it isn''t, I hope I am informed (by a kind moderator), and I''ll immidieatly take it off. It feels like extreme shameless self-promotion actually..

    I am a net/fanfic writer..in which I write original stories on characters already existing in a series (make it TV series or anime series)..I have been writing for quite awhile now. And have received positive comments from fanfic fans from all over the world.

    I didn''t think I''d ever post something here..but since a very kind reader has commented and requested..=)..I thought it''d only fair to ask for you guys'' critics and opinions.

    So here is the first story.."Whirlwind of Fate" - by Silversun. A Sailormoon (Thuy Thu Mat Trang..=) ) fanfic.

    I hope you enjoy it, and emails/PMs are greatly appreciated as always. =)

    Yours sincerely,

    Sil.

    Author''s note:
    This is my first attempt at Fan fiction, well at least,
    this is the first fic that I posted on the net anyway. So be
    polite, don''t you send any flames, though suggestions are
    greatly appreciated, please, please (the magic word + the
    puppy look). *look up hopefully* is it working?
    Disclaimer: All the wonderful characters belong to Naoko
    Takechi and DIC, they do not belong to me ( I wish), though
    some of them are based on my friends.

    Prologe:Introducing my sad life!
    By Silver Sun​
    Sniff, sniff....
    It wasn''t my fault that I absolutely loved romance movies
    and books. They were the loves of my life. Not that I was
    idealistic or anything, but those types of movies just
    managed to stir up so many emotions in me, and, romance. It
    was what I''d always dreamt about since I was little.
    Every Christmas, I would sit around the fireplace, and
    listen to my mum''s stories. They were always romantic, so
    romantic. Sometimes, I wondered if mum felt lonely, I
    wondered if her heart had ever yearned for something more. I
    never asked about dad. When I was 4, I asked her, and she
    just told me, that he left and he''d never come back, so I
    naturally took in that fact, and I didn''t dare mention his
    name in mum''s presence. Not that she would get angry every
    time, she''d just become unusually quite, a far away look in
    her eyes. My Mum was a strong woman, a woman with courage.
    She was also a beautiful woman, she had long black hair, and
    dark, azure eyes, almost mesmerising. She could have had so
    many men, but she said she wanted to take care of me, so it
    was always her and me in our little cosy house. I remember
    the first Christmas that I spent away from home. And I often
    wondered what she was doing then. Probably baking one of her
    extraordinary cookies. She told me that she got the recipes
    from my grandmother, and she''d teach me so I can teach my
    own daughter some day. I had missed her so much, and I
    wasn''t even sure if I could survive without her. She was
    like the light, my light for the life journey, where things
    were dark and unclear.
    But I never could learn my mum''s cookie recipes. In my
    second year, I received a call from my grandma, she told me
    mum died. I couldn''t believe it then, and I didn''t. I spent
    a whole week crying myself to sleep. I couldn''t even begin
    to describe what she meant to me, except by saying
    everything. She was everything to me. I had thought of
    giving everything up, I had thought of suicide, dead and all
    other things. That was when I met Raye. We had never gotten
    along before, but when she knew my mum died, she had just
    simply hugged me, and cried with me through the night. I
    never knew the soft side that Raye had, she had poured out
    her soul to me that night. She told me about her life, how
    she was always alone, when her grandpa died when she was
    just 13. Raye helped me learn that. Even though our loved
    ones died, they were never really gone, they''d stay with us,
    and guide us through the rest of our lives, may be not as
    bright as the light that we used to have, but just as
    passionate as an eternal flame. But more importantly I had
    gained a wonderful friend. Though we fought a lot, she was
    like a sister to me, and I couldn''t imagine my life without
    Raye. Raye and I moved in an apartment, and there we met Amy
    and Lita. Immediately, we grown fond of each other and
    became inseparable. Amy was a quite girl, but she was such a
    loyal friend. Raye was the fiery one, Amy was the quite,
    studious, Lita was the strong, tough one and I was the shy,
    sisterly one. We were so different, but yet had so many
    things in common. We lived a happy life, four girls, one
    apartment, we''d gone through tears and fights, but these
    things only tightened the bond that we shared. It''d been 4
    years since we became friends. Mina, was another good
    friend, sometimes, she''d come by our apartment, and give us
    lectures about our love lives. Our love lives, well, al
    least my love life...
    I was never popular with guys at school, ''cause they
    classified me as the nerdy type. I wasn''t ugly or anything,
    but I wore glasses, I was short, and my clothes were never
    as modern. But I didn''t care, I knew I had to focus on my
    studying, and I knew that one day, my dream man, a prince
    would come to me, would love me voluntarily,
    uncon***ionally, for who I was not for who he wanted me to
    be. He would be dashing, handsome, funny, incredibly
    romantic and he would sweep me off my feet.
    A pair of blue eyes came to my mind.
    His eyes, they reminded you of an endless ocean, you could
    easily drown yourself in them. He was quite, mysterious, and
    he held this aura around him that reminded you of a cold
    winter day.
    I would never forget the day our lives crossed paths.
    It was an light autumn day of May. I don''t really remember
    the exact date, but it was rather a beautiful afternoon.
    Everything was perfect, nothing could seem to go wrong. How
    wrong I was.
    "Serena, come, Mrs.Crook wants us to come to the information
    board" I looked at Lita like she had grown an extra head.
    Mrs.Crook? Our Visual Literature teacher. She was one
    miserable teacher, and I''d bet you anything that she was
    miserable as a person, too. All she ever seemed to do was to
    make students miserable. Sometimes, we wondered how she got
    a teaching job in Havard. We often made bets about her
    dates. We tried matchmaking her with some other teachers, we
    tried to get her to gon on a blind date, and on our arranged
    blind date she went.
    It was a total disaster.
    We arranged it.
    She hated it.
    So she hated us.
    What did she want from us?
    We managed to get to the Information Board safely in less
    than 10 minutes.
    "Tell me again, why I took Visual Literature?" - I cursed
    myself loudly.
    Lita wasn''t helping out much either. She stood there, mouth
    hanging open in shock. There I saw it. On the blue
    background, was Big, Bold Writing in red.
    ROMEO AND JULIET CAST LIST.
    We were both miserable, we were both bored and we were both
    idiots, why oh why couldn''t we leave the Visual Literature
    class out of our timetables.
    So Mrs.Crook had finally thought of something to get us
    back, after all these pranks and rumours that the poor Lady
    had *****ffer. We knew that we were doing a play, Romeo and
    Juliet, but who would have thought, she would do this to us.
    "Let''s see, Lita Kino..........Great, I get to play the
    cousin, what about you." Lita seemed to take this in rather
    calmly. I looked at my own role.
    I wasn''t really paying any attention to Lita at the moment,
    my eyes were caught up with something else.
    "Serena Tsukino.......My God, Serena, you''re Juliet!! Isn''t
    it great?"
    Or was it? I didn''t have any reaction whatsoever, and then I
    looked at Romeo''s role.
    "Let''s see, who''s got Romeo''s part. Darien Chiba, who''s he?
    Wait, isn''t he that guy in our Geometry class, who got half
    of the class female population drool over? Serena, you''re in
    luck!!!"
    I searched my mind, for the name. He was just a brief image
    that passed through my head, someone I shared a couple of
    classes with, someone I sometimes saw around Havard. So, I
    was to play Juliet and he was to play Romeo. I didn''t really
    mind playing Juliet, but him, someone I barely knew, the
    thought scared me. I''d have to kiss someone, and act like I
    was totally, insanely in love with someone, whom I knew next
    to nothing about. So, I spent all of the afternoon,
    wondering and listening to Lita and Raye drooling over
    Darien. "Darien this...and Darien that....And I wonder if he
    was a good kisser,....." I was so sick of his name, that if
    I heard it one more time, I would certainly throw up.
    Who can be that perfect?
    Apparently Darien could.
    Some how, the thought of meeting him face to face, had
    occupied me all day. His image was no longer someone with a
    name, he was this statue of perfection in my head.
    And he lived up to his reputation. He was good looking all
    right, but somehow our meeting wasn''t the way that I''d
    picture in my head.
    ''Damn, where on Earth is this A8? Havard is worse than a
    labyrinth'' I held up the map, more like clutching it in my
    sweaty palms, ok, so I was nervous, but why I wasn''t sure.
    Darien Chiba had nothing to do with it. Or had he? The
    thought of him swam in my head, I wasn''t really looking
    where I was going. So it was naturally that I bumped into a
    wall.
    All my books came tumbling down like waterfall, paper flew
    everywhere. My test, my Chemistry test flew near the
    balcony, as I reached down to get it...
    "Hmm, 75%, not bad...."
    I looked up, and greeting me was a pair of bluest eyes I''ve
    ever seen. I had a good look at the owner of the startling,
    deep voice. So I didn''t bump into the wall, but rather
    someone, someone with the bluest eyes I''ve ever seen in my
    life.
    There was only 1 word that could describe him.
    He was beautiful.
    Yes, beautiful, not just good looking or handsome. Beautiful
    was the only word that could describe him. I found myself
    staring at him for a long time, longer than necessary if you
    ask me. His eyes were a dark shade of blue, blue of an
    endless sky, the deepest ocean. They were mysterious, like
    they were holding some kind of secrets just ready to be
    unfolded. He caught me staring, he chuckled, but I had a
    feeling that he was quite used to have girls looking at him
    that way. Of course, he would, who wouldn''t be hypnotised by
    his gaze, by his looks, by the aura that he had.
    He looked at my test, a mischievous glint appeared on his
    handsome features.
    "Serena Tsukino, well well well, what a coincidence, so
    Juliet lived up to her true reputation, she had quite a way
    to greet her Romeo" He spoke, but never the teasing tone
    left his voice.
    That was when I realised that he was Darien Chiba. Now, that
    wasn''t what I had in mind. In a million years, I would never
    have thought that this is how we''d meet. This was Darien
    Chiba. He was Darien Chiba.
    My mind was screaming at me ''you utter hypocrite, and then
    you thought Lita and Raye were bad, and here you are staring
    at him...''
    "What, speechless, I''m too charming aren''t I?" He continued.
    I blinked, I didn''t know what came over me at that moment.
    But I calmly replied.
    "No, my love, I was just looking at something you got stuck
    between your teeth"
    He laughed his laugh rich and smooth. I''d never heard
    anything like his chuckle. Like it had some kind of strange
    power to make me chuckle back.
    "And you''re wondering why I didn''t share it with you
    sweetheart?" He said. Once again, chuckle slightly.
    What was it about this man, I asked myself. I just couldn''t
    control my thoughts. How we were able to bicker like this,
    the first time we met, I didn''t know.
    "Darien Chiba, Juliet, It''s a pleasure to meet you" He said
    "Serena Tsukino, my Romeo, the pleasure is all mine" I
    reached out and yanked my test out of his hand, with one
    swift moment, I turned around and muttered in the most
    cheerful tone I could manage.
    "I''ve gotta go and feed Romeo junior, you know, nature call,
    so I''ll see you around, love, preferably this afternoon in
    the Performing Art Room, first rehearsal". With all the
    courage that my 19 year-old mind could have, I blew him a
    kiss, and like the kiss itself I disappeared in a blink of an eye, not enough courage to even turn around and look at
    his reaction.
    I cared.
    I worried.
    I thought of him all day.
    Damn him.
    That was the encounter of Romeo and Juliet, so brief but it
    had left so many traces deep inside of Juliet. Juliet
    thought that she''d never like to meet Romeo again.
    But she was wrong again.
    She did.

    AN: Here''s chapter 1! *Squeal with delights* It''s getting better and better. Or not really..;)
    Chapter 1: The Relationship
    I didn''t know if it was attraction or it was pure hatred, but for some
    weird reason, Romeo and Juliet never got along. We bickered like an
    old married couple.
    So we spent the first rehearsal harassing each other. How charming!
    He made a pretty good Romeo, I''ve gotta admit that. And his looks,
    wow, I had nothing to complain there. But his only problem was that
    he''s got a personality of a goat. He treated people like all of us were
    stones, who had no feelings. He was so insensitive. I didn''t know why,
    looks were never really important to me, but I could never hate him.
    He jut had this mysterious aura around him that reminded me of
    someone who had lost his soul through some unfortunate events. I
    would know that, because I was exactly like that when my mum died. I
    had locked myself away from life, shut my heart and feelings. But I
    knew he had a heart somewhere.
    I didn''t know if it was fate, but I''d always found myself bumping into
    him after that fateful day. We saw each other a couple of times per
    week for the play, but we never talked much. To me, having to play
    and say meaningless words to a guy meant nothing whatsoever, but
    saying those words to him, made me nervous somehow. It was almost
    like I was pouring my soul out to some stranger.
    Darien caused enough troubles himself, but all those blasted females,
    orbited around him like asteroids were the most annoying.
    I had only known him for a week, but every time he turned up for
    rehearsals, he''d come with a different girl. He was famous with his
    dating routine. Never one twice. Sometimes, I hated him for that.
    Everyone knew that he didn''t want to date them, but he dated them
    nonetheless. I wondered if he was trying to prove something, to
    someone or rather himself. I didn''t know, but I cared somehow, I''ve
    always cared.
    I''d always noticed little details about him, the way his eyes danced
    when he smirked, they way he walked solemnly through the hall, the
    way his shoes always echoed the stone steps. It was so hard to ignore
    him, it was so hard to tell myself how much I didn''t care or care. I was
    like a morph, blindly and foolishly flew to the flame, a flame of which
    he''d always managed to maintain.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Oh Lita, wait up will ya?" I shouted
    across the hall, hair flying around my shoulder, books and costumes
    stopping my view, and my legs running like mad. I didn''t know if I
    imagined it, but I knew it was him before I looked up. We''d run into
    each other like usual, but that day there was just something different,
    almost like the wind had changed, the air smelled sweeter.
    My books fell to the floor, my costumes were dropped. I bumped into
    him rather hard. I breathed in his brilliant cologne, and enjoyed the
    sweet scent, and imagining a forest with roses, millions roses . He took
    a step back.
    ''Clink''
    My glasses fell to the floor, and broke. I looked down, panicked, like an
    instinct, I kneeled down the floor and my hands flew to cover my face.
    Suddenly I felt his hands on mine, he touched my arms, and drew
    them back. I saw his eyes, and I realised that there was something
    different. I felt warmth, care and protection through his gaze. He
    continued to stare at me, and he spoke, ever so softly.
    "Careful, Princess..."
    I felt so naked under his gaze, Slowly I let go of his grip, picking my
    broken glasses, I stood up and muttered.
    "Thanks..."
    "You should take off your glasses more often, Serena, and show off
    your eyes" He said.
    "There''s nothing to show off in my eyes, Darien" I replied
    "But there is, Meat Ball Head -he paused and his eyes twinkles with
    amusement at my new name. I touched my hair, and breathed in hard
    - Your eyes show vulnerability, innocent, they tell the tale of a far
    - away sea, with foreign, lands and exotic flowers. And you''re telling
    - me there''s nothing to show off about?" He laughed, this time not
    - with mockery, but sincerities. I stared at him strangely.
    " What have you eaten today, my beloved Romeo?", my hands reached
    out to touch his forehead.
    He didn''t laugh this time, but he just continued to look at me deeply in
    the eyes, and he took my hand into his, his head came closer, and
    closer....
    I felt my knees shaking, my head screaming with alarms, my voice
    was barely a whisper.
    "My beloved Romeo, what on Earth do you think you''re doing...."
    "Just shut up for once, Juliet"
    With that, his lips were on mine, so soft, almost like he was afraid of
    breaking me. My eyes were close, and I felt his soul reaching out
    towards mine. Witchery, it seemed he did to me. My lips slowly parted,
    and....
    "Serena...-Lita was caught staring at us. Her mouth hanging open in
    shock.
    Darien turned around, his eyes were drawn with realisation. He shook
    his head slightly. And one second he was away from me, he stepped
    away quickly.
    "I''ll see you around, then...Meatball Head" And with that he was gone.
    I stared at his lanky form disappearing off in the hallway. Lita was
    shaking me and bombarding me with questions. I didn''t care, and
    honestly I didn''t hear a single word she was saying.
    Have you ever wondered what it''s like to be in a unrealistic love. A
    wondrous love with no rules, no limitations, no boundaries. I wanted
    that. I didn''t want the realistic kind of love where two people get
    together just because they were happy with each other, or they were
    good for each other, or they fit each other well. I want to love
    someone, who could complete me, who without, my life would mean
    nothing. He, in return would love me more than anything in the world,
    who would sacrifice everything for me, who couldn''t love without me.
    Call me selfish. But I could never be happy with a fairy tale love, I
    want a fiery passionate one. I want much more than just a husband,
    who works at day, then return home, kiss me on the cheeks, pay me a
    couple of compliments on my cooking, who I could never argue with.
    It''s boring.
    And I don''t want a boring life.
    Darien.
    After that day, I almost thought I was in love with him. He liked me.
    He did.
    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have kissed me, right?
    Right?
    I allowed myself think like that for a week. I couldn''t be myself any
    more whenever I was close to him in class. I would act like a silly
    school girl, with a crush on some white prince, shining in armour.
    He didn''t seem to notice the change. He acted as if nothing had
    happened that day. Or may be he pretended that nothing did. I
    assumed that he was a good actor.
    So I kept on dreaming and dreaming.
    Someone said it was safe to live in a dream world. Where you never
    have to face the truth, the big bad wolf who calls itself reality.
    Until'' one day, my dream was shattered into pieces.
    He came into English class, with the arrogant smirk on his face as
    always. But then I saw her, Beryl Buckingham, his latest conquer.
    And at that moment I suddenly realised how foolish I was to think that
    Darien Chiba would have liked me.
    Here I was thinking that I was in love with him, daydreamed that we
    would get married some day, and I''ll always be his Meat Ball Head.
    I was like a naÃve child, who''d never seen the colour of the sky and
    assumed that it''d always be blue. Then one day, I wake up and realise
    that the sky is black with storms and thunders.
    I was sick.
    I was sick for a whole week.
    I asked to withdraw from my English class.
    Raye, Amy and Lita were concerned.
    I told them I was fine. I lied to them, and to myself. I tole myself that
    it''ll be fine.
    Then when I came back, I heard that Darien Chiba had left Havard. To
    where, I knew not, and I pretended that I didn''t care.
    That went my first love. Years of my naivety had gone.
    4 years later, I graduated.
    I became a writer.
    I got rid of my glasses, not because his opinions mattered.
    Because I was convinced that I have beautiful eyes.
    Raye, Amy and Lita were still my best friends. Lita got a job at a
    restaurant, Amy became a doctor, being the smartest of us all, and
    Raye, who would have thought became a singer.
    But there was someone else in my life who made me happy.
    Seiya is his name.
    I met him at a book signing session. It was my first publish so not
    many people came, he was one of the few people. Then he asked me
    out, and now we live a happy life.
    I gave up my wondrous love silly dream. Seiya was the kind of
    boyfriend who made me happy, who helped me through my toughest
    years.
    This is what I''ve always dreamt about when I was little.
    Life was good.
    Until'' someone else had to come back and entered the picture.
    Darien Chiba

    Actually, the more I read the more i like the story you post up. Yet, I don''t like the end of chapter 1 because it is rather "cụt" and not in the right flow of the whole story. Do you think so? Still, I welcome your next post. Come on with your work, Sil.

    throat, so don''t sue me, if it''s bad.....
    In Chapter 1...
    4 years later, I graduated.
    I became a writer.
    I got rid of my glasses, not because his opinions mattered.
    Because I was convinced that I have beautiful eyes.
    Raye, Amy and Lita were still my best friends. Lita got a job at
    a restaurant, Amy became a doctor, being the smartest of us all,
    and Raye, who would have thought became a singer.
    But there was someone else in my life who made me happy.
    Seiya is his name. My boyfriend.
    I met him at a book signing session. It was my first publish so
    not many people came, he was one of the few people. Then he
    asked me out, and now we live a happy life.
    I gave up my wondrous love silly dream. Seiya was the kind of
    boyfriend who made me happy, who helped me through my toughest
    years.
    This is what I''ve always dreamt about when I was little.
    Life was good.
    Until'' someone else had to come back and enter the picture.

    Whirlwind of Fate
    Chapter 2
    By: Silver Sun
    E-mail: Silversun80@hotmail.com (I think I''m trying to hint
    something....)
    Four years of working had been finally paid off. I wasn''t just
    any writer any more, I was a script writer for a Hollywoods
    movie. Romeo and Juliet. The name of the famous Shakespears''
    play brought a strange tingling feeling to my ears.
    I couldn''t believe it, I''d made it. No, we''d made it, Raye,
    Lita, Amie, Seiya and I, we''d made it to Hollywoods.
    Everything around me was just some blurry dots, with colours. My
    stomach had turned into some slimy liquid, and my knees were
    shaking madly.
    The man standing before me was no more than thirty, standing
    straight up, he shook my hand, his sandy blond hair fell into
    his face. His eyes were grey and welcome. I felt certain warmth
    through his gaze, and to think that my future depended in this
    man''s hands. My stomach gave a little squeeze. ''It''s no time to
    back out now, you can do it'' I told myself firmly.
    "Nice to meet you, Miss Tsukino, I''m Andrew Furuta. Please sit
    down" He said, his voice was incredibly friendly.
    "Nice to meet you too, Mr. Furuta"
    "About the rules and regulations...-He paused. I concentrated on
    his face - OK, I don''t want to bore you with all this rules and
    regulations stuff. Why don''t you just tell me what you want to
    tell me?"
    I was startled, the man had certainly surprised me.
    "Um...I have no questions..."
    "None at all?"
    "um...Maybe one, who''s the director?"
    He laughed and I failed to see what was so funny.
    "It''s a funny thing you ask, because the man himself asked me
    who the script writer was"
    "He did?" I asked.
    "He did. He said he''d never ever read such a damned brilliant
    script"
    I blushed, my face shaded a little.
    "He''s a friend of yours?"
    "He''s a friend alright, but he is a puzzle, I tell you, can
    never figure him out. Wait ''till you meet him yourself, and then
    I''ll let you judge"
    I heard a light knock on the door. Turning around I saw a
    familiar pair of blue eyes. The mesmerising blue, the deep and
    mysterious blue, as blue as the depth of the sea.
    "Speak of the devil, Ms.Tsukino, I''d like you to meet Darien
    Chiba, Romeo and Juliet''s director."
    "Hello, Serena, long time no see" His voice, My God, his voice,
    the voice that been haunting me for years. My God, the voice,
    and the smile, and the eyes.
    Two words slowly formed in my head.
    Darien Chiba.
    After four years....
    I went numb. My mind, my heart, my eyes, my ears had altogether
    stopped working.
    Everything was dissolving. I saw blobs of green and red.
    I couldn''t see, couldn''t hear. The last thing I could make out
    was Andrew''s voice fading in the background.
    I had fainted.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I opened my eyes and found myself staring straight into two
    pools of blue. I felt dizzy, and then like pieces of a puzzle,
    everything came back to me.
    Darien Chiba was back into my life.
    Even worse, he was the director of the movie, my movie.
    We''d be working together for nine months.
    Then I remembered that he was looking at me intensely. He was
    holding me, a worried expression held in his dark blue eyes.
    His eyes. They somehow looked different to what I''d remembered.
    Then I realised how close we were. I could smell his brilliant
    cologne, surprisingly he still wore the same cologne. He sure
    must have had a thing for roses.
    I sat up, angry at myself for remembering what kind of cologne
    he used.
    That was when I gave myself a chance to look at him.
    He''d changed.
    He wasn''t just a good-looking guy any more, he was a handsome
    man now. Times had done a lot to him. He was wearing a businiess
    suit, that was so well-made for him, his hair was messily
    tousled, may be he hadn''t changed that much.
    He smiled at me, and I smiled back.
    Funny, I could just imagine Raye and Lita swooning all over him
    again.
    "Klutz-attack again, Meat Ball head?" He said. After all those
    years, he still had that mockery in his voice, but it was
    somehow different, almost like sincerity wwas hidden in his
    chuckle.
    I looked at him, wide-eye. I felt awkward. How was I to act now?
    What was I to do?
    May be, just may be, we could start all over again. May be, just
    may be, we could really be good friends this time.
    Yes, we would be friends.
    I''d never felt such strong confidence in my voice. I spoke
    clearly, and firmly.
    "Hello Darien, long time no see"

    You did a gr8 job, Sil !!! i enjoy ur writing a lot, come on, chapter 3, what are you waiting for?!!

    Ur writing tone is somewhat like that of some american writers like Stephen King, Virginia Andrew or R.L.Stine (know the series of pocket stories ''Fear Street'' by this writer??), ur story just reminds me of their books, very nice, all about teenagers.
    I love very much the way you described the appearances and mood happenings of the characters in your story. Only the first part when u write about the death of Serena''s mother, it would be better if you add some more details i think ( how shocked the girl was, how deeply she was touched, the pain, the feelings of great loss, such and such, then this part would be more emotional and dramatic), and the following parts, kinda perfect. So I will say '' fairly successful'' if you let me rate huh

    I was once dreaming of writing novels too - something romantic, touching and fascinating with convincing ending ( cuz most of those i ve read, i dont satisfy w/ the endings at all) but i was just dreaming only, not yet give a try even thou thought that i would name my novel '' life in the suitcase'' , im the type of just dreaming and never carrying things out.

    Well, just wanna share you some of my ideas, and plz take it as my compliment on your work. Actually, ur story encourages my desire of writing alot but i ve just got a new box of oil pastels, and im having a stronger desire of doing some fineart work, cant wait

    waiting excitedly 4 ur coming chapters and stories as well. You know, u ve got my support

    Thanks Kat_kat for your positive constructive comments. =). I wrote this story (and have finished this) 2 years ago, it is my first piece of fiction, so it lacked maturity, and my writing was terribly inexperienced as well. ^^
    However, thank you for the wonderful praises. =) And never give up on your dreams. Good luck writing!

    He''d changed.
    He wasn''t just a good-looking guy any more, he was a handsome man now. He
    smiled at me, and I smiled back.
    Funny, I could just imagine Raye and Lita swooning all over him again.
    "Klutz-attack again, Meat Ball head?" He said. After all those years, he

    Whirlwind of Fate
    Chapter 3: The friendship
    E-mail: Silversun80@hotmail.com... *winks* hint hint
    He came back and although that wasn''t supposed to change anything, he had
    somehow messed up my life. Fate had decided to play a little prank on our
    lives. We''d always bump into each other, deliberately or not. The weird thing
    was that I didn''t seem to hate that routine. I felt empty and awkward not
    seeing him, not bumping into him. It was just like I belonged there.
    We argued. God, we argued a lot, too. We argued over the littlest thing to
    the biggest, even if I secretly agreed with him, I would always choose the
    other option. The only thing that we seemed to agree about was Andrew. He was
    a nice guy, and he was the middle man. I found myself growing fond of him,
    trusting him, liking him as a big brother. Whenever we were in a heated
    argument, Andrew would always be the one to solve it. He called us "The
    Pair".
    Darien Chiba. How I hated him when he was right. But I hated myself more for
    letting all these emotions that''d been buried deep in my heart to stir up. So
    I did the most logical thing, I avoided him.
    I knew I was strong and I stayed strong. I kept the wall I built around me
    safe. It wasn''t like I needed it anyway, because I loved Seiya. I loved him.
    That was all that mattered. No one would be able to change that fact. No one,
    not Raye, not Lita, not Amy, not even Darien.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    "Who are you?"
    "I am the Moonlight Knight (A.N: ^_^). And you, lovely angel?"
    " I am the Sunlight Angel..."
    "CUT!" - He shouted, taking all of us by surprise. His hair was tussled and
    falling over his face, I looked at his eyes, though it was really hard seeing
    through his golden framed glasses.
    But standing at the corner of the room, I could almost feel the tension held
    in his look.
    "NO NO NO, Juliet, your eyes hold curiosity, surprise, confusion, not love"
    I felt myself saying aloud without knowing.
    "Why not?"
    Darien looked at me, surprised.
    "You tell me why ?" He said.
    "No...you tell me why not?" I looked straight into his eyes. Everyone stopped
    and looked at us. I heard the word "The Pair" faintly in the background. He
    looked back at me, and answered calmly.
    "Because, they''ve only met for 3 seconds, Juliet can''t have fallen in love
    with Romeo already"
    "But don''t you see, Darien, that is the idea, love doesn''t need to be
    logical, it is a magical, wondrous thing"
    "I know, Serena, I damn well know that, but 2 complete strangers can''t fall
    in love in 3 seconds" I sensed the seriousness in his voice.
    My heart gave a tight squeezed, I fell in love with him before I even knew
    his voice, damn it. This wasn''t just an ordinary argument anymore...
    "Why not? Time isn''t what at stake here. It is the heart, the mind, that
    count. When they look at each other, they just know that they belong
    together, they can just feel it, they will just know that they''ll grow old
    together, happily in a cozy little house. Just one look and they know they''re
    in love" I said, my voice slightly trembled.
    "No, Serena, that only happens in Faerie Tales, that is totally, ridiculously
    unrealistic."
    He said, still looking directly at me.
    "Do you know what your problem is, Darien? Your problem is that you don''t
    feel, you don''t allow yourself to feel. Love is not unrealistic, it is
    magical, it is.."
    He cut me off.
    "Grow up Serena, this is a movie for goodness'' sake. You don''t honestly
    believe that love is magical, do you?"
    Tears were threatening at the back of my eyes.
    "I do, Darien. Don''t you?"
    He stopped, I could almost swear that I saw something flickered in his eyes.
    Then he sighed.
    "No, I don''t Serena. You shouldn''t either. Wait ''till you''re in love"
    "Darien Chiba, not because you have some kind of mental problems, you can
    allow yourself to insult the most sacred thing in this whole wide world,
    Love, you cannot deny the whole purpose of my life - I shouted - And yes, I
    have been in love, Darien"
    Tears were streaming down my face. Turning around so I couldn''t see his face.
    Andrew gave me a friendly squeeze on my shoulder. I didn''t know what to think
    or what to do. But I knew what I needed.
    Escape.
    So I ran.
    I ran so fast, I didn''t care if I tripped, I just ran, carelessly blindly.
    I heard his voice calling my names, but I kept running until'' I couldn''t feel
    his presence anymore.
    I sat on the bench in the park.
    I saw couples, hand in hand, giggling and laughing.
    I cried for myself, I cried for everything that I''d believed in, I cried for
    my heart. I just kept crying and crying.
    I remembered that my mum once told me, tears were the most powerful weapon.
    Not to destroy, but to create. I wondered if that was what I was doing.
    Creating.
    I don''t know how long I stayed there, but when I came back to the filming
    location, everyone was gone.
    No.
    Not everyone, Darien was there.
    He was standing on the doorstep, his tall built leaned on the door frame.
    Hands holding a cup of coffee, he casually asked me.
    "Want some coffee?"
    "No"
    "I know, after all, you never know what I put in my coffee - he winked at me
    - and trust me you don''t want to know" He said, trying to keep the
    conversation light.
    We both laughed.
    Silence.
    "So...where is everyone?"
    "They took the day off"
    I heard him, but not believing what I was hearing. They took the day off?
    Darien would never...
    "I know what you''re thinking, Serena, but after what happened, no matter how
    brutally I treat the cruise..."
    "But I''m just a script writer? Everyone can surely carry on the work without
    a scriptwriter" I asked.
    "Yes, they can, but they can''t carry on without a director, can they?"
    "Without...- I stopped mid sentence. Darien...
    Silence.
    "Sorry..." we both said at once. I looked up, and there in his eyes, I
    couldn''t recognize what it was in his eyes.
    "You go first, Darien"
    "I''m sorry, Serena. About what I said earlier. I didn''t mean it"
    "You didn''t mean what, Darien? I can''t blame you if we have different
    believes"
    "No, we don''t have different believes...I just have a problem"
    I laughed.
    "No, I''m serious, Serena" He said slowly, trying to keep his voice casually.
    "It''s OK, Darien, I understand"
    I said, so serious that he looked surprise.
    I sat down next to him, and I did something that totally surprised him. I
    drank his coffee.
    The smooth, bitter dark liquid traveled down my throat, making me feel
    light-headed.
    I coughed.
    He chuckled, still the same smooth and deep chuckle.
    "You never struck me as the Coffee type, Meatball Head"
    "Shut up, Darien" I said, feeling silly and childish.
    He laughed.
    But he didn''t shut up.
    In fact we talked and talked for hours. We talked about life, we talked about
    the film, we talked about dogs, we talked about flowers. It was amazing how
    we could talk about almost anything.
    We watched the sun set together, for once I felt comfortable in his presence.
    He took me home that day. Before I got out of the car, he took me by the
    hand, looking straight into my eyes, he said.
    "By the way, whoever said listening to Darien Chiba is a mistake. Look at
    your eyes, Serena. They are beautiful."
    I blushed, feeling surprise that he even remembered. Then a strange dejavu
    feeling filled my head making me feel light and cozy.
    ~~~~~~~
    "You should take off your glasses more often, Serena, and show off your eyes"
    He said.
    "There''s nothing to show off in my eyes, Darien" I replied
    "But there is, Meat Ball Head -he paused and his eyes twinkles with amusement
    at my new name. I touched my hair, and breathed in hard - Your eyes show
    vulnerability, innocent, they tell the tale of a far away sea, with foreign,
    lands and exotic flowers. And you''re telling me there''s nothing to show off
    about?" He laughed, this time not with mockery, but sincerities. I stared
    at him strangely.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    That wasn''t too long ago.
    4 years seemed like nothing.
    Our first kiss.
    Everything was coming back, so strangely and clearly.
    I''d never felt so protected in my life.
    But not loved.
    I loved Seiya, I reminded myself.
    I loved Seiya.
    Almost like he was sensing my thoughts, he let go of my hand, and ever so
    softly he said.
    "Good night, Meat Ball Head"
    I saw his black car disappearing around the corner. I sniffed in the sweet
    scent of the air, and smiled at myself.
    "Goodnight, Darien".
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I need more e-mails!...I dunno if this
    trick''ll work again but...there will be no chapter 4 if I don''t at least
    get...3 e-mails! (fooled you there ^_^)
