From the horrible fanfic, written as a play:

Mina.-Tal parece que la princesa Kakyuu 1,no solo se llevo a los chicos, si no también la alegría de Serena- Amy.- Talvez, 2,le hace falta salir mas seguido con Darien- Lita.- Es cierto, casi no se ven, ya que Darien estudia mucho y 3,si lo hacen son solo por horas.- Rei.-Ustedes creen…que una relación así…dure?-Con tristeza Amy.-Claro que si, ya que en un futuro todo esto se convertirá en ,Tokio de Cristal- Mina.- Pero dime Amy, Serena podrá ser feliz en un futuro?-

I have italicized the characters, and bolded the parts a am having trouble with, here's an attempt at them.

  1. No solo se llevo a los chicos, si no también la alegría de Serena. She doesn't just get along with those boys, but also the joy of Serena. I figure llevarse bien/mal = get along good/ bad so llevarse a must mean get along with the boys, but I don know. and "si no ....... just loses me" I know it isn't really llevarse with "se llevo" but I don't know what else, carry, take, don't make sense.
  2. le hace falta salir mas seguido con Darien- She needs to go out more often with Darien. I don't get "más seguida" here, is it like menudo?
  3. ,si lo hacen son solo por horas.. (it's true, they don't see each other much, since Darien studies a lot) and if they do it's only for a few hours. that's how the brain translates it but really--- doesn't make sense with the words listed seems more like - if they do are only for hours. Which I don't get.

Hola Jeezzle:

Espero que estés bien y que esto te ayude.

"No solo se llevo a los chicos, si no también la alegría de Serena" = (She) not only took the boys but also Serena's happiness.

"Llevar" can also mean "to take".

"Le hace falta salir mas seguido con Darien" = Sí, en este contexto, "más seguido" means "more often".

"Si lo hacen son solo por horas" = If they do it (see each other) it is only for (a few) hours. (I would have said, "si lo hacen es sólo (solamente) por horas" -I guess with the new D R A E changes, the tilde on the "solo" is not necessary).

Yo are right, if it is translated word-for-word, it can make no sense, but with context it is understandable.
