In the later chapters there are going to be some very graphic parts, think about how some of the more grown up shows on TV. The couples are S/S, A/T, and H/Y. I don't own sm. Ja ne for now!





"Why not ask the others?" Amy questioned her friend.

Serena sighed and looked up from her teacup. She'd invited Amy and Hotaru over to ask them something. Something that would change there lives forever, but none of them knew that yet. All they knew was that they could go to America with Serena and do things like normal teenagers did.

"I know it's not like me to be so serious. But I am when I say this. We, the three of us, don't fit in. The others don't take us seriously, or doubt our abilities. So I thought just the three of us could take a vacation during this sort of peace we're having. We all know peace can't last forever, so let's have a break while we can."

"So you want Amy and I to just get up and go. Tell the girls nothing, pack nothing, and just go?" Hotaru asked.

"Hai." Serena answered.

"I'll go." Amy said, sipping her tea. "For some reason, however crazy the situation, I'll go."

Hotaru looked from one friend to another. "Over the last few years I've gotten stronger thanks to Ruka-papa's training. But, I don't fit in either. I never have." She felt the memories rush past her and pushed them back. "I think it would be fun."

"So you'll go?" Serena asked hopefully.

"Hai, I'll go." Hotaru smiled.

The girls giggled, "Then let's get to the airport!" Serena stood.

Both Hotaru and Amy sweat dropped. "I didn't know you meant right this second." Amy mumbled.

"Yep, I did. Now come on." Serena said.

Amy agreed but wouldn't go without calling her mother to tell her first.

"I'll call the Outers from New York. They'd never let me take one step from this room if they knew." Hotaru smiled.

"Hai, that's a good idea. What are we doing about clothes?" Amy asked.

"Shop. When we get there we'll get whole new wardrobes. And Taru, not all black and dark colors. You'd look good in pink!" Serena grinned.

"Usagi. Hai, not all dark. But how are we paying?"

"My mom gave me six thousand dollars for us. A present, she said. But we have to split it."

Amy raised a brow. "Wow. Um."

Hotaru blinked. "Okay, so your mom just gave money to so could shop? Six thousand dollars just for that?"

"Ya. So?" Serena sighed. "Come on you guys. There's no backing out now!"

"Fine." Hotaru giggled.

"Then let's go!". Serena laughed and dragged her friends to the car.

The three friends quickly left saying goodbye to Serena's family. Her father took them to the airport, and wished them a good time.

The girls walked in, no luggage, no thing. Amy felt awkward but let it go, this was so carefree. So different.

"So what gate are we going to?" Hotaru asked.

"B4." Serena answered.

"Then let's go!" Hotaru smiled. She didn't care. This was the chance of a lifetime. No limitations, no one watching her like she might turn and blow up something. She could be a normal teenager. She could do things like she'd always wanted to.

Serena led them, running, to the gate. They were breathless from running and laughing went they got there. "This is so exciting!" Serena grinned. "Finally. A chance to do stuff and not be looked down on for acting like myself!"
