"Is this the home of Jonathan and Martha Kent?" Sarah asked the
person on the phone. "Yes, it is. Would like to talk to my mom or dad?" the
voice asked. "Yes, if possible your father," Sarah told him. "It will be
just a minute," the voice replied. "Ok," Sarah replied.
Clark set the phone down and started out the door. "Clark who is it?" his mom asked. "Some lady who wants to talk to dad," Clark responded. "Your father's busy. I'll take it for him," Martha replied. "Ok," Clark said as he sat down at the table to finish his homework.
"This is Martha Kent," Martha said as she answered the phone. "Mrs. Kent, is your husband home?" the lady asked. "He's busy right now, can I help you with something?" Martha asked. "Mrs. Kent, Mr. Kent had an older brother that was put up for adoption in Japan," the lady started. "We know that, and we also know that he died about thirteen years ago," Martha told her. "Yes, that is true. But he has a daughter who is very much alive," the lady replied. "They never said anything about that," Martha replied. "They felt that they didn't need to seeing that she already adopted by another family. They government didn't want any type of law suit so they simply did tell you about her. And both of you never asked," the lady replied. "Why are you telling us now?" Martha asked. "Her adopted parents, were in a car cash and there is little hope that they'll pull through," they lady replied. "I'll go get Jonathan," replied Martha. "All right," the lady replied.
Sarah sighed and said to herself, 'I wish I didn't have to lie, but I have no choice.' "Did you tell them?" a voice asked from behind her. "I told Martha Kent, but she went to get Jonathan," she told the person. "Don't tell them the truth, or you know what will happen," the voice warned. "I understand," Sarah replied. A few minutes after that a male voice came to the phone saying, "Hello."
"Jonathan," Martha called as she walked up to him. "Yes, Martha?" he asked as he crawled out from underneath the tractor. "There is a phone call for you," Martha replied. "I can't talk now," he told her. "It's from Japan. It's about your brother," Martha replied. He looked at her with shock written all over his face. "He died thirteen years ago," he reminded her. "There was something they forgot to tell us," Martha replied. They both turned and then walked into the house. As soon as Jonathan got into the house he picked up the phone.
Martha walked into the house a few seconds after Jonathan. "Mom what's going on?" Clark asked. "We'll talk about it when you're father gets off the phone," Martha replied.
"What is your name?" Jonathan asked. He listened to what was being said "I need to discuss it with my family call back in an hour," Jonathan replied as he hung up the phone. He sat down in front of Clark, and Martha was sitting next to Clark.
"What is going on?" Clark asked. "Clark, there is something that we never told you," Jonathan began. "What?" Clark asked. "You had an uncle. We finally located him a month after we adopted you, but we found that he and his wife died a few days after we found you," Jonathan replied. "Whose brother was he?" Clark asked. "He was your father's half brother," Martha told him. Clark nodded, and then asked, "But what does that have to do with the phone call you just got?" "They just informed us that he had a daughter at the time who was three years old," Jonathan paused. "They asked if we would take her in," Jonathan replied out loud. "Why didn't they tell you before?" Clark asked. "They said that she had been adopted already, and they didn't want to start any type of law suits," Jonathan replied. "Why did they call and ask you to take her in now?" Clark asked. "The family that adopted her, have been in a car accident and they don't think that any of them will pull through," Jonathan told her.
"I say that we take her in," Clark said. "Clark, if we do that then you won't be able to use your powers as much," Martha replied. "I don't care, I'd do anything to have a sister or a brother," Clark replied. "Martha?" Jonathan asked. "It would be nice to have another girl around the house," Martha replied. "All right, we'll give it a chance," Jonathan replied.
"Clark, we'll need to start adding another room on to the house tomorrow so I need you to come home right after school is over for the next week," Jonathan replied. "Ok, I'll be here," Clark told him. "I'll go into town and start buying room furniture, with the money that we have saved," Martha replied.
A few minutes after they had finished talking the phone rang. Jonathan picked it up and said, "Hello? Yes.we will take her in." After the arrangements were made Jonathan hung up the phone and said, "Her name is Serenity Kent. And she'll be arriving in on Wednesday of the week after this week."
Alex walked into the mansion followed by Serenity. "Are you sure we have to do it this way?" Serenity asked. "Yes, there is no other way. It's the only way for us to protect you from the inners. Is to erase everyone's memory of you and send you to your uncle's house," replied Alex. "If you stick to the story that we've told them then no one will ever find out," Alex told her. "What if they remember?" Serenity asked. "We'll be here to watch them," replied Alex. "Pluto will come for you if you are in any sort of danger and take you and the Kents to somewhere safe," replied Alex. Serenity nodded and asked, "When do I leave?" "Wednesday night," Alex replied. "Am I to stay here until then?" Serenity asked. "Yes. But you are still going to be going to school," Alex paused. "Until two days before you leave, we'll UN-enroll you from school, and start easing there memories and records of you ever being there," Alex told her. "I understand," Serenity replied. "Until then you are not to leave this house unless one of us is with you understood?" Alex replied. "I understand," Serenity replied.
The next day
Clark walked out of his first period and met up with his friends. "Hey, Clark can you help me with the Torch today after school?" asked Clowly. "No I can't my dad needs my help after school all this week," Clark replied. "Doing what?" Clowly asked. "Well were adding on to the house," Clark replied. "What are you adding?" Pete asked as he walked up to the group. "We're adding a bedroom," Clark replied. "Why?" asked Clowly. "Now that's a surprise for another day," Clark replied. "Come on we need to get to gym class," Pete replied as he and Clark left walked off towards the gym.
"Hey Clowly," called Lana. "Oh hey Lana," Clowly replied. "Want to walk to second with me?" Lana asked. "Sure," Clowly replied. "Are you doing anything after school today?" Lana asked. "I'm going to work on the Torch," Clowly replied. "Is Clark going to help you?" Lana asked. "No, he said that his father needs his help at home for the next week," Clowly replied. "Do you need help?" Lana asked. "Yeah, but I think I can manage," Clowly asked. Then it dawned in Clowly. "Hey, Lana," Clowly began. "Yeah?" she answered. "Would you like to help me for the rest of the week and sort of fill in for Clark?" Clowly asked. "Are you sure you want me to help?" Lana asked. "Yes, I'm sure. I guess we could think of this as a girl's bonding week," Clowly replied. "Ok, I'll see you after school," Lana said as she walked into her second period class.
Clark started to walk home after school when he ran into Lex. "Hey, Lex," Clark said. "Hey, Clark, so are where you headed?" Lex asked. "I got to get home, I missed the bus," Clark replied. "I can give you a ride if you want," Lex offered. "You driving?" Clark asked. "Point taken. I have the limo today," Lex replied. "Alright then let's go," Clark replied as they got in to the limo.
"Why are you going home so early?" asked Lex. "Well my dad needs some help doing something," Clark replied. "What?" Lex asked. "We're building another room on to the house and we only have a week and a half to get it finished," Clark replied. "I can get someone to build it for you," Lex offered. "Well you know my dad," Clark replied. "I do all to well," Lex replied. Clark smiled and suppressed a laugh. "Can I ask why you're adding onto the house?" Lex asked. "If I told you, it wouldn't be fair to the others now would it?" Clark asked. "Well I did give you a ride," Lex replied. "I could've walked," Clark replied. "Good one," Lex replied. "Well are you going to tell me or not?" Lex replied. "Only if you don't tell anyone else," Clark replied. "I won't tell anyone else, I promise," replied Lex. "Well I just found out that I have a cousin, and she's coming to live with us," Clark replied. "She?" Lex replied. "Yes, and she's the same age as I am," Clark replied. "She's your real cousin?" Lex asked. "No, my dad's brother's daughter," replied Clark. "I didn't know that he had a brother," replied Lex. "Neither, did I," Clark replied. "I know what you're going to ask, don't it a long story and we don't have time right now," Clark replied as the car came to a stop. "Thanks for the ride Lex," Clark replied as he climbed out of the car.
As Clark walked in to the house he saw that his mother was on the phone and his father was sitting at the table. His father motioned for him to sit down. "Who is on the phone?" Clark asked. "The people who Serenity is staying with until she leaves for the airport next week, and they said that they are going to send her bed and other stuff over the next week so we don't have to go out and buy her new things," replied Jonathan. "They must be rich," Clark replied. "I would think so. It's Haurka Tenou the famous race car driver," Jonathan replied. "She knows him?" Clark replied. "Oh, and let's not forget Michiru Keniuo the violinists, and the famous fashion designer Setsuna Meiuo," Jonathan replied. "How did she come to know them?" Clark asked. "I'm not really sure, but we can ask her when she arrives. You ready to get working on the room?" Jonathan asked. "Yep, let's get to it," Clark replied.
"Wait, Clark, Serenity would like to talk to you," Martha replied as she hanged him the phone. "Hello?" Clark asked. "Hi is this Clark?" a female voice asked. "Yeah," Clark replied. "I'm Serenity," she replied. "I though I would talk to you for a few minutes, before I go to bed," Serenity replied. "What's it like in America?" she asked. Clark chuckled and replied, "Well it's fun, I like being on the farm," Clark replied. "It's a farm?" Serenity asked. "Yes," Clark replied. "I get to live on a farm?" she asked. "Yes," Clark replied. Serenity giggled and said, "Clark.when I get there can you show me around?" she asked. "I already planned on it," Clark replied. "Great! Thanks! Um.Clark?" Serenity began. "Yeah?" he answered. "When is your birthday?" Serenity asked. "January 2," Clark replied. "When is yours?" Clark asked. "It's June 30th," she replied. There was a pause and then Serenity said, "Clark I have to go, but I'll call again and we can talk more then, bye." "Bye," he said as he hung up the phone.
"Dad?" Clark asked. "Yes, son?" Jonathan replied. "Do you know anything about your brother and their wife?" Clark asked. "Well all we actually know is that ten years after being married, they died. I really don't know how they died I was never told and I didn't really ask," Jonathan replied. "Are you going to ask Serenity if she remembers when she arrives?" Clark asked. "I'm not sure, I haven't really thought about it, you also have to take in consideration that she was only three years old at the time," Jonathan replied. "Ok," Clark replied. "Why did you ask?" Jonathan replied. "I don't know.it's just that something about it doesn't make since," Clark replied. "How does it not make since?" Jonathan replied. "I'm not sure.it just doesn't make since," Clark replied. And the rest of the time that they were building the room, was silent. Martha called them to dinner around 6:30 pm as the sun was going down.
Serenity walked silently with her head down, to her first period class. As she walked she heard all of the other kids snickering at her as she walked by. 'Only if they new the real truth, then we'd see who would be doing the snickering,' she thought bitterly to her self. The rest of the day was the same and at lunch it was even worse. Serenity at lunch in a tree at the other end of school to get away from them, 'Just wait till after school when Haruka pulls up in her car and picks me up today,' she thought to her self. 'Then they'll stop all this talking and snickering.well I hope so anyway.I really shouldn't let this get to me. The inners started that rumor and I'll deal with it,' she thought to herself.
Ami set up a meeting place to met Rei, Mina and Darien at lunch to discuss how to get ride of Serenity and decide who would be queen her or Mina, or Rei. {She didn't know that it was that Serenity was up in that very tree that they had decided to met at.}
Serenity's eyes widened when Ami appeared under the tree, then after a few minutes Rei appeared accompanied by Mina. 'Where's Lita?' Serenity thought to her self. A few minutes later Darien made his arrival known.
"Now that everyone's here I think we need to get to the topic at hand," Rei started. "I agree," replied Ami. "First order, we need to come up with a plan to get ride of Lita and make it look like an accident so Serenity won't know that we killed her because she wouldn't join us," Mina replied. "Second order, How to get to Serenity without being detected by the outers," replied Darien. "Third order we decide who takes Serenity's place as Queen," Ami. "We only have enough time for the first order if even," replied Rei. "We should get her to get to the lake with us at night, and dispose of her there," Darien purposed. "It won't work," replied Mina. "Why is that?" Darien asked. "She won't come near us," Ami replied. "I'll work on that problem while I'm at school and work but right now all of you need to get to class," Darien replied. "We'll meet again after school at the temple," Rei replied. "Let's make it my place," Darien replied. All of the girls nodded and left.
'Lita's never been a part of this? How come I never sensed that?' Serenity asked herself. 'I have to talk to the outers right away,' Serenity told herself as she jumped out of the tree after the others had left.
As soon as Serenity got into the school she ran toward the pay phone and dialed a number. "Hello?" a voiced answered. "Hotaru? Is Setsuna there? I really need to talk to her!" Serenity whispered into the phone. "She's right here," she replied. "Yes, princess?" Setsuna replied as she picked up the phone. "Lita was never apart of it.they are planning to kill her she needs to come with me," Serenity whispered over the phone. "Haruka will be there 20 minutes early she'll pull you and Lita out of class earlier and explain everything to her. I'll see you when you return," Setsuna replied as she hung up the phone.
Lita was walking by the phones when she heard someone on the phone whispering her name. Lita waited for the girl to turn around to confront her. After the girl turned around she saw Lita and froze. When Lita saw who it was she froze to. "Who were you talking to?" Lita asked. "Setsuna," the girl replied. "Why? Going to have me killed?" Lita replied coldly. "No I could ne---how could you think I would ever do that to you? Or let alone anyone else?" Serenity replied. "Then what where you talking about me for?" Lita replied. "I don't have time to explain right now, but Haruka is going to be picking us up today then everything will be explained I promise," Serenity replied. "How do I know I can trust you?" Lita asked. "You don't," Serenity replied as she walked away. Lita stood there staring after Serenity for a few seconds before she remembered that she needed to get to class.
Lita sat in her last class thinking about what Serenity had said and where she was going to met her and Haruka. "Lita," the teacher called. Lita then turned her head toward the teacher. "Yeah?" she answered. "You're leaving for the day. You're guardian in here to pick you up," the teacher replied. She nodded and packed her things and followed the student aide back up to the front office.
Serenity waited for Lita to arrive as she was standing next to Haruka. "She'll come, kitten clam down," Haruka whispered to her. "I know I just wish I had enough time to tell her that you would call her out of class," Serenity whispered back. Haruka nodded. Just after they had finished there words to each other the other aide returned with Lita at his heels. "Come, let's go," Haruka replied as she led them out of the school and into her car.
"Lita, once we get to the mansion, we will explain everything to you," Haruka told her after they had gotten in and started on their way to the mansion. Lita nodded her head in reply.
Haruka pulled up to Lita's apartment and parked and said, "Lita we need to pack you a few things. The other's are already here packing up your apartment," Haruka replied as she got out of the car. "What? Why?" Lita asked. "Lita, everything is going to be ok, please don't ask questions till we get back to the mansion, everything will be explained to you there," Serenity pleaded with her. Lita nodded in reply.
Clark set the phone down and started out the door. "Clark who is it?" his mom asked. "Some lady who wants to talk to dad," Clark responded. "Your father's busy. I'll take it for him," Martha replied. "Ok," Clark said as he sat down at the table to finish his homework.
"This is Martha Kent," Martha said as she answered the phone. "Mrs. Kent, is your husband home?" the lady asked. "He's busy right now, can I help you with something?" Martha asked. "Mrs. Kent, Mr. Kent had an older brother that was put up for adoption in Japan," the lady started. "We know that, and we also know that he died about thirteen years ago," Martha told her. "Yes, that is true. But he has a daughter who is very much alive," the lady replied. "They never said anything about that," Martha replied. "They felt that they didn't need to seeing that she already adopted by another family. They government didn't want any type of law suit so they simply did tell you about her. And both of you never asked," the lady replied. "Why are you telling us now?" Martha asked. "Her adopted parents, were in a car cash and there is little hope that they'll pull through," they lady replied. "I'll go get Jonathan," replied Martha. "All right," the lady replied.
Sarah sighed and said to herself, 'I wish I didn't have to lie, but I have no choice.' "Did you tell them?" a voice asked from behind her. "I told Martha Kent, but she went to get Jonathan," she told the person. "Don't tell them the truth, or you know what will happen," the voice warned. "I understand," Sarah replied. A few minutes after that a male voice came to the phone saying, "Hello."
"Jonathan," Martha called as she walked up to him. "Yes, Martha?" he asked as he crawled out from underneath the tractor. "There is a phone call for you," Martha replied. "I can't talk now," he told her. "It's from Japan. It's about your brother," Martha replied. He looked at her with shock written all over his face. "He died thirteen years ago," he reminded her. "There was something they forgot to tell us," Martha replied. They both turned and then walked into the house. As soon as Jonathan got into the house he picked up the phone.

"No I can't my dad needs my help after school all this week," Clark replied. "Doing what?" Clowly asked. "Well were adding on to the house," Clark replied. "What are you adding?"

"Hey Clowly," called Lana. "Oh hey Lana," Clowly replied. "Want to walk to second with me?" Lana asked. "Sure," Clowly replied. "Are you doing anything after school today?" Lana asked. "I'm going to work on the Torch," Clowly replied. "Is Clark going to help you?" Lana asked. "No, he said that his father needs his help at home for the next week," Clowly replied. "Do you need help?" Lana asked. "Yeah, but I think I can manage," Clowly asked. Then it dawned in Clowly. "Hey, Lana," Clowly began. "Yeah?" she answered. "Would you like to help me for the rest of the week and sort of fill in for Clark?" Clowly asked. "Are you sure you want me to help?" Lana asked. "Yes, I'm sure. I guess we could think of this as a girl's bonding week," Clowly replied. "Ok, I'll see you after school," Lana said as she walked into her second period class.

"They must be rich," Clark replied. "I would think so. It's Haurka Tenou the famous race car driver," Jonathan replied. "She knows him?" Clark replied. "Oh, and let's not forget Michiru Keniuo the violinists, and the famous fashion designer Setsuna Meiuo," Jonathan replied. "How did she come to know them?" Clark asked. "I'm not really sure, but we can ask her when she arrives. You ready to get working on the room?" Jonathan asked. "Yep, let's get to it," Clark replied.
"Wait, Clark, Serenity would like to talk to you," Martha replied as she hanged him the phone. "Hello?" Clark asked. "Hi is this Clark?" a female voice asked. "Yeah," Clark replied. "I'm Serenity," she replied. "I though I would talk to you for a few minutes, before I go to bed," Serenity replied. "What's it like in America?" she asked.

Serenity giggled and said, "Clark.when I get there can you show me around?" she asked. "I already planned on it," Clark replied. "Great! Thanks! Um.Clark?" Serenity began. "Yeah?" he answered. "When is your birthday?" Serenity asked. "January 2," Clark replied. "When is yours?" Clark asked. "It's June 30th," she replied. There was a pause and then Serenity said, "Clark I have to go, but I'll call again and we can talk more then, bye." "Bye," he said as he hung up the phone.
"Dad?" Clark asked. "Yes, son?" Jonathan replied. "Do you know anything about your brother and their wife?" Clark asked. "Well all we actually know is that ten years after being married, they died.

As soon as Serenity got into the school she ran toward the pay phone and dialed a number. "Hello?" a voiced answered. "Hotaru? Is Setsuna there? I really need to talk to her!" Serenity whispered into the phone. "She's right here," she replied. "Yes, princess?" Setsuna replied as she picked up the phone. "Lita was never apart of it.they are planning to kill her she needs to come with me," Serenity whispered over the phone. "Haruka will be there 20 minutes early she'll pull you and Lita out of class earlier and explain everything to her. I'll see you when you return," Setsuna replied as she hung up the phone.
Lita was walking by the phones when she heard someone on the phone whispering her name. Lita waited for the girl to turn around to confront her. After the girl turned around she saw Lita and froze. When Lita saw who it was she froze to. "Who were you talking to?" Lita asked. "Setsuna," the girl replied. "Why? Going to have me killed?" Lita replied coldly. "No I could ne---how could you think I would ever do that to you? Or let alone anyone else?" Serenity replied. "Then what where you talking about me for?" Lita replied. "I don't have time to explain right now, but Haruka is going to be picking us up today then everything will be explained I promise," Serenity replied. "How do I know I can trust you?" Lita asked. "You don't," Serenity replied as she walked away. Lita stood there staring after Serenity for a few seconds before she remembered that she needed to get to class.
Lita sat in her last class thinking about what Serenity had said and where she was going to met her and Haruka. "Lita," the teacher called. Lita then turned her head toward the teacher. "Yeah?" she answered. "You're leaving for the day. You're guardian in here to pick you up," the teacher replied. She nodded and packed her things and followed the student aide back up to the front office.
Serenity waited for Lita to arrive as she was standing next to Haruka. "She'll come, kitten clam down," Haruka whispered to her. "I know I just wish I had enough time to tell her that you would call her out of class," Serenity whispered back. Haruka nodded. Just after they had finished there words to each other the other aide returned with Lita at his heels. "Come, let's go," Haruka replied as she led them out of the school and into her car.
"Lita, once we get to the mansion, we will explain everything to you," Haruka told her after they had gotten in and started on their way to the mansion. Lita nodded her head in reply.
Haruka pulled up to Lita's apartment and parked and said, "Lita we need to pack you a few things. The other's are already here packing up your apartment," Haruka replied as she got out of the car. "What? Why?" Lita asked. "Lita, everything is going to be ok, please don't ask questions till we get back to the mansion, everything will be explained to you there," Serenity pleaded with her. Lita nodded in reply.
