Sweet Sixteen and a Half

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Serena's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'I can't believe Christmas is almost here!' I thought in my mind as I walked down the street to the arcade.

Today marked two days before Christmas and I had just finished my last minute Christmas shopping.

'I hope Endy likes his gift' I prayed in my mind as I wrapped my coat tighter around me, although that was hard to do with all the bags I had in my hands.  The wind blew harder, making me number than I actually was.  Finally, after what seemed like hours, I reached the doors to the arcade.  Shifting my packages, I managed to open the door, only to be greeted by a wave of heat.  Looking around, I noted silently that there was hardly anyone else around.

'They all must be at home in their houses' I thought silently 'lucky them'

"Hey Serena!" Andrew greeted as I came and sat over by the counter. "Boy, its sure cold out, isn't it?" he asked.

"You can say that again" I muttered as I took my seat.  Before I could say anything else, there was a nice, hot, steaming cup of hot chocolate sitting in front of me.  Looking up, I noticed Andrew smiling at me.

"You know me too well" I said smiling at him as I gulped down the hot chocolate.

"Serena, I wouldn't do that if I were….."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!!!!!!" I screamed, as I tried to cool of my burning tongue.

'I need something cold now!' I screamed mentally, jumping up and down. Andrew was no where in site.

'Great just what I need, him to go to the bathroom......'

"ANDREW!!!!!!"

"Here Serena, drink this, it should cool off your tongue" a very amused Andrew stated as he handed me a glass of water.

"WATER!!!!!" I screamed as I grabbed it from him and gulped it all down quickly.

"Serena, be careful, don't drink to fast or………"

"Pssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooo"

'Uh oh'

"Andrew I am soooooo sorry!" I cried as I tried to dab off the water I had spit all over him.  Looking closer at him, I noticed that I had gotten the front of his shirt all wet, not to mention his, well, um, lower area which now looked like he had an, umm, accident.

"Ummmm, hehe……Merry Christmas Andrew?" I asked nervously.

"Serena…….."

"Umm, I just stopped over to give you your Christmas present" I stated uneasily.  "I hope you like it."

He looked at me evilly, but soon broke into a huge grin.  "He he, Merry Christmas Serena" he said as he pulled me into a huge hug.

After exchanging gifts and promising not to open them until tomorrow at the very earliest, I headed for home.

 Once I stepped outside, I instantly regretted it.  The wind was so cold, as cold as evil itself.  It was a good thing though that there was no evil to worry about right now, for we had defeated Beryl about a month ago.

Clutching my coat closer to myself, I tried desperately to keep warm and to hang on to my bags. Beryl.  Just thinking about that name brought back horrible memories.  As I said before, it was about a month ago that we had defeated her.  It was a cold night, just like this, except there was snow everywhere.  We had finally figured out where Beryl's hideout was and after much training, Luna told us we were finally ready to defeat Beryl. 

***************Flash Back******************

"Brrrr, it's so cold!" complained Mars as we traveled further on.

"Don't worry love, I'll keep you warm" Jedite whispered as he wrapped an arm around her.

"I'm still convinced that some guy invented these uniforms" Jupiter muttered under her breath.

"Yea, but I like them" Nephrite whispered loud enough so that we could all hear, causing Jupiter's cheeks to turn even redder than they already were.

"Are we there yet?" I asked Mercury who was busy typing in data to her computer.

"Almost" she replied as I wrapped my arms tighter around myself in order to keep me warm.  Feeling an arm wrap around me, I looked up to see Endymion smiling at me.

"Don't worry Sere, we'll get through this" he whispered reassuringly in my ear.

I nodded dumbly as I cuddled under his arm, closer to his heat.

"Guys there's something ahead!" Mercury exclaimed suddenly, causing us all to stop dead in our tracks.

"What is it?" Venus asked, as she looked at the computer.

"It appears to be a person of some sort" Zoisite noted as he looked over Amy's shoulder.

"Well then, what are we waiting for?" Jupiter asked. "Let's kick some Negaverse butt!"

Looking around, we all nodded confidently in agreement.  Starting forward, we all kept our eyes and ears open for anything.  Feeling Endy put his other hand on my shoulder; I stopped and looked at him.  I desperately wished right now that he was not wearing that stupid mask of his so that I could see his wonder earth blue eyes better.

"Sere, you know that this very well might be the last time we see each other" he stated.

I nodded my head in agreement, knowing full well that we could both die in this battle.

"I just want to let you know that no matter what, I will always love you until the end of time, and even beyond that" he stated, before pulling me into a long, heated, passionate kiss.  As I wrapped my hands around his neck, I forgot about everything for the moment; not even the cold could break this moment.

"Venus crescent beam smash!"

"Mars fires ignite!"

"Jupiter thunders crush!"

"Mercury bubbles blast!"

We heard yell just a little ways away from us.

'The scouts' I mutter telepathically to him.

'Let's go'

We ran until we saw a burst of energy.  To the right of us were the scouts and generals, trying to fight off the monster and to our left was the monster that looked like an over sized tarantula. 

"You'll never win" the monster hissed as he threw another energy attack at the scouts and generals as they just barely managed to jump out of harms way.

"There's only one way to stop this thing" I heard Mercury say "And that's to combine energies together."

"NOOOOOOO!!!!" I screamed, but it was too late.

"Mercury planet power!"

"Mars planet power!"

"Jupiter planet power!"

"Venus planet power!"

"Earth ice power!" (Zoisite)

"Earth fire power!" (Jedite)

"Earth thunder power!" (Nephrite)

"Earth plasma power!" (Kunzite)

As their powers combined as one, I could only watch in horror as Endymion held me.  Once their powers had combined, they were sent directly towards the monster that appeared to be frozen in place.  Upon contact, the monster instantly died.

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed as I ran over to my friends who now lay lifeless on the ground.

"You must go one" Mars whispered as walked over.

"It's your duty" Mercury stated.

"For the planet" Jupiter muttered.

"You are its only hope" Venus murmured.

"We're all counting on you" Nephrite sighed.

"Fight to the end" Zoiste mumbled.

"Never give up" Jedite said softly,

"We will always be there with you in spirit" Kunzite stated as each body fell limp and didn't move.

"NOOOO!!!!!!" I cried again. "They can't die!!!!" Then adding silently "my friends"

I felt Endymion embrace me, comforting me as well as himself, for we had both lost eight good friends.  Suddenly, a strange light surrounded us.  Throwing myself deeper into his arms, I soon became dizzy.  Then everything went black.

As I woke, I looked around only to see bones and blackness everywhere. 

"Well, well, well, if it isn't our little princess.  Have a nice trip?" a voice sneered.

Standing up, I looked right into the eyes of the most evil woman I had ever met.  It was Beryl.

"Now I can finish you off just like I should have 1,000 years ago!" Beryl cried as a huge ball of black energy filled her hands. "Prepare to die moon brat!"

Closing my eyes, I suddenly opened them when I heard a loud scream emit.  There kneeling on the ground with a rose embedded into her chest was Beryl.

"Endymion!" I cried as I ran into his arms.

"Not so fast little princess" I heard Beryl pant, causing me to look at her.

"AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I heard Endymion scream as I turned around, only to find a black crystal stuck in his back.

"ENDYMION!" I cried as I ran over to his side.

"Serenity" he murmured softly. "It looks like this is the end"

"No, please Endymion, don't talk like that, everything's going to be all right" I cried as tears fell opening from my eyes.  Carefully kneeling down and removing the oversized crystal, I brought his head onto my lap,

"Hush Sere, please don't cry, I could never stand seeing you cry, you were always meant to smile.  Smile for me Sere, please?" he asked, his breaths now drawing ragged.

Wiping the tears from my eyes, I looked at him and smiled, but it was not a smile of happiness, but a smile full of sorrow and grief.

"That's my love" he whispered before he started coughing.

"Endy!" I cried, my eyes turning watery again.

"Please Sere, one last kiss, before I go" Endymion stated.

"Why, you aren't going anywhere Endy" I cried, tears falling from my eyes again.

"One kiss" he whispered again as he brought his hands weakly to cup my face.  Then kissing me so delicately, I wished for it to never end.  I savored the moment while trying to fight back tears.  Suddenly, I felt his body grow rigged, then relaxed.  His body was now so cold.

"ENDYMION!!!!!!" I cried.  He was dead.

Looking back to Beryl, I noticed that she no longer was there.

'Where did she go?' I wondered in my mind.

Suddenly, the entire cavern began to tremble.  I huge figure began to emerge from another part of the cavern.  It was Beryl, but this time, Metallia was with her, they were one.

"So princess, how does it feel to have killed off all of your little friends?" Beryl/Metallia asked.

"I didn't kill them, you did!" I screamed back.

"Oh little princess, you hurt my feelings and for that you shall pay!" Beryl/Metallia cried as a huge ball of dark energy formed in her hands.  "Say hi to your mother when you see her again!"

Instantly calling upon the silver crystal, I drew up all my strength and began to fight.  We continued like this for several minutes.  I soon felt myself growing weak.  'I cannot give up, I will not let Beryl win' I cried silently in my mind.  'My friends, please, I need your help.'  One by one, I felt each of their spirits surround me, lending me their strength.

"Don't stop fighting Sere, you can do this"

"We believe you"

"We'll always be here for you Meatball Head"

"We'll lend you all of our strength"

"Beryl will never win"

"Earth will be in peace"

"I believe in you my love"

"I smell a dead duck…ah Beryl….ah evil….umm, you get the idea."

'Yes my friends, we can do this' I whispered in my head as I put my final strength into the crystal, causing it to over come Beryl in one bright flash of light. 'I just want us all to survive this' I murmured internally as I let the blackness consume me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That was one of the most horrible experiences of my life.  If it had not been for Pluto watching after us, we would not have been reincarnated so quickly.  Now we were back to our normal lives and tomorrow was Christmas Eve.  We all planned to go over to the Temple and exchange gifts since Christmas we were all spending with our families.  After Christmas, we had off school for two weeks!!!!! Two weeks of no school and just relaxing and spending time with Endy and the gang.

Yup, I couldn't wait for tomorrow.
