"Raye's Diary"
by Amanda Goodwin
'Sailor Business'.I bought this journal to record all my experiences and
emotions as a Sailor Scout.
Well, between
me and the journal, I don't think the other Sailor Scouts like me very
much. I've always felt that way. I really did
the time we were trying to trick the NegaVerse into believing us Scouts
were splitting up. That day was one of the hardest days of my life.
I made one of thew toughest decisions ever! I
had to decide whether to go with Serena's plan and get readings on the
hole with Amy's computer, or forget the
plan and help Serena.
It was Serena, one of my best friends, or Darien, my
biggest crush.
That day was very painful. I
mean, the Scout's thought I had stolen Serena's wand. They actually
thought I would do something like that. I'm
still pained by that day. But, we've gotten along lots better since
then. Still, I must admit that I think Mina likes me
the best. She has always been the nicest to me. Serena is always accusing
me of hating her.
I DON'T HATE
SERENA!! PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT!!
I only act like that to make her
serious. Really!
And also, I've been thinking a lot lately. Ever since the day we found out
that Serena was the Moon Princess and that her and Darien
meant so much to each other. Ever since that day
I think I've been closer to Serena. I understand her more. I mean, I felt
betrayed, angry, and really sad all at once. But since Serena
was the princess, and I could never forgive myself if I said anything, I
buried all my mixed emotion and forgot
about it.
I tried to forget about it. I know I'll never be truly over
Darien, but if I can't have Darien one of my
best-friends having him is the next best thing. Besides, it would be too
selfish of me to stand between them. They love each other, and nothing and
no one can change that.
I felt so bad for Serena when Darien broke up with her. Because I know what it feels like. I lost him too, and
during the time when *I* broke up with him, Lita
always knew when I needed a talk. She was a big help to me. Anyway, Serena
and Darien were destined to be together. Period.
But that makes me
wonder.
What is MY destiny? According to Luna and Artemis it is to fight
the NegaVerse, defend the princess, and protect the Earth. But, who am I
destined to be with? I guess that is for me to
find out later. It is unbelievable how much Serena has changed! At
first she wasn't very... serious, but she has gotten lots better.
That reminds me of the time of our final battle with Alan and
Ann. It
was so painful to watch Serena and Darien hang on to each other while
Ann kept attacking them.
I could tell Serena
was scared stiff. I'm just so happy that she didn't give Ann the
satisfaction of knowing that. I saw a side of her I never knew she
had. She is very brave.. braver than I ever would have thought. She really
does love Darien... It was awful. I was so scared for Serena. And when Ann
died it was so sad. Alan was crying. I had never
known evil could be so sad.
But anyway, I've been wondering, what kind of friend am I actually? Am I as
bossy as
everyone says I am? Probably so, but sometimes I feel as if no one
understands me. A bunch of people say I'm stubborn, bossy, hard-headed, and
heartless. I mean, I act as if I don't really care, but their comments
always float in the back of my mind. They do hurt. I try to be a good
person... I really do.
I just wish everyone would stop accusing me of hating Serena. I don't! I
love all my friends like sisters, and Darien is
a nice guy. SERENA'S GUY.
I'm so thankful for my friends. I couldn't live
without them.
THE END
