Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters except for the guy Serena
runs into on her way back from the bathroom. I changed a few things from
the original series. Like, in my version, Tianna lives alone in an
apartment.
Chapter 2
Jemina, Serena, and Catty walked down the beach on a beautiful Saturday morning, soaking up the ocean breeze and loving the feel of the sun on their faces. Catty got a sly look on her face and stared at Serena.
"So, Serena, Whatcha gonna wear tonight to Planet Bang?" Catty face still didn't release the sly grin. Serena looked straight at Catty with little emotion showing through. "Yes, fine. I will wear the skirt."
Catty had seen a colorful skirt a few weeks before while shopping with Vanessa and immediately thought of Serena. She knew that Serena would be so proud of her for having such freaky taste that she bought it and gave it to Serena as a gift. Serena loved the skirt, but a strange cloud had been hovering over her for the past few days, and she had been lost in her own thoughts. When she noticed the hurt look on Catty's face, she immediately tried to fix it. "Oh my gosh, Catty," Serena began urgently, "I love the skirt…I've just been letting my mind wander lately. I'm sorry. I can't wait to wear it tonight." All was forgiven when she said this and Serena breathed a sigh of relief. **I don't wanna deal with fights this week. I think I'm coming down with something.** Serena thought as she studied the warm sand beneath her feet this beautiful morning. Jemina was so close by her side that she brushed her hand. Serena was all too aware when she felt Jemina stiffen and stop.
Jemina stopped and let her mind receive the premonition that was flooding in. ::Panic. Serena is screaming and trying to release herself from Jemina's grip. It's freezing. Flames all around. Serena's bright red tipped curls brushing against Jemina's cheek as they both scream. The red frost hurts. Jemina crashes to the ground and gasps.::
Jemina gasped and stumbled back. Catty caught her just in time. "Jemina, What happened?! Are you okay?!" Catty sounded alarmed. Serena knew all too well what was happening. She had pushed into Jemina's mind while the premonition was raging. When she saw that Jemina wasn't aware, she knew something was wrong. Then she saw what it was. **No, not again.** Serena felt alarming chill rise up her spine. Jemina looked at Serena and the wavelength between them broke.
Jemina shivered a little and began walking again. Catty was unaware of what was happening. She was totally lost to anything that had happened in the last three minutes.
"Wait, wait, wait. What just happened?" Catty looked between the two. "I know something happened. I think you can trust me with it." Catty stood impatiently with her weight on one foot, still staring between the two.
"I just had a disturbing thought. It's nothing." Jemina put on her best carefree smile and waited for Catty and Serena to catch up. Serena was wondering if it was just a thought, not a premonition. She pushed the thought aside and tried to be as carefree as Jemina was trying to look.
Shortly after they had begun talking comfortably again, Vanessa and Michael walked up hand in hand. Vanessa looked gorgeous in her pink, yellow and orange one-piece swimsuit. Smiling and windswept, she bounced up to the three of them dragging her swimming-trunked boyfriend behind her. "Hey ladies, havin' a good time?" Vanessa chuckled in her best I'm-a-big- important-person-voice, and smiled at each of them. Serena was about to smile when she looked at Vanessa and noticed she was slightly distorted. A panicky chill ran up Serena's back and she sharply turned to Michael. He was laughing at some little kids playing in the sand. Serena went into Vanessa's mind to see what was happening. When Serena met with her thoughts, she became confused. Vanessa was fine. There was nothing making her upset or anything. Serena pulled out and looked over Vanessa. She was chatting with Catty and Jemina while Michael picked up a beach ball and threw it back to the little kids. Vanessa was still distorted. **Why don't Jemina and Catty see it?** Serena looked closely, thinking she may have imagined it. Vanessa was not as faded as before, but losing her molecular figure fast. "Vanessa," Serena sounded a little more urgent than she meant, "Will you go to the bathroom with me?" Vanessa looked at her strangely for a second. Serena casually pointed to Vanessa's arm. All three of them looked down at Vanessa's arm and slightly gasped. Vanessa became upset and started sprinting toward the bathroom, fading quickly. Serena sprinted after her. Serena met Vanessa in the bathroom, who was staring at her breathless self in the mirror.
"What's happening?" Vanessa asked and stared at Serena with pleading eyes. "Why is this happening? I wasn't that happy!" Vanessa walked to the wall and pushed against it. She began fading faster and Serena panicked.
"Stop, Vanessa, You're making it worse. It's not that bad. All you have to do is go invisible and go out the back. I'll tell them you got sick or something." Serena put her hand on Vanessa's shoulder and tried to calm her with words. When Vanessa didn't respond to the speech, Serena pushed lightly into her mind and tried to sooth and calm her frantic friend. She finally calmed and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"What do you think could have caused this? I pushed into your mind and everything was fine. Are you sick? Is something happening? Wha-what?" Serena was trying to put it all together, but they couldn't think of what was causing the fading. In the end, both decided that Vanessa would see how she was feeling later, and decide on whether to go to Planet Bang that night. Vanessa faded and disappeared, moving her way out the back.
"I'll call you!" Serena said blindly to thin air. She thought for a moment, then smoothed her yellow sundress and began to walk back to the beach. She got to the door of the little building, (still daydreaming) and bumped into a guy about 17. "Oh! I'm really sorry. I'm…daydreaming." She gave her most apologetic smile as he replied.
"Nothin' to be sorry about, honey." She smiled again and swiftly walked past him, urgent to get back to her friends before they came looking. She was about ten feet away from him when she heard the same voice from the guy she had bumped into, only inside of her brain.
**Wow, she was fine…I wonder what Leanne is doing tonight.** Serena was in awe. She hadn't even tried to push into his mind. **Oh well,** she thought, **I was just embarrassed. Nothing weird about that.** She walked back to the other goddesses and Michael, pushing the incident from her mind. Michael saw that Vanessa wasn't with her.
"Where is Vanessa?" Michael asked with a confused look on his face. Serena tried to remember their story. She rubbed her temples and thought.
"Uh…she got really sick all the sudden. She said she's sorry, but she couldn't stay. Sorry Michael." Serena turned to Jemina and Catty with a hopeless look on her face. Catty realized that none of them knew what to do with Michael. Vanessa was always with them.
"But, hey, Michael, you're welcomed to bum around with us if you want." Catty tried to break the silence. It worked. "Oh, nah, that's okay, I gotta go to band practice anyway. See you ladies lata." He bowed and gave a teasing smile. Catty curtsied and smiled.
"Ha, see you guys later." Michael said and signaled that he was just joking. He walked off and left the girls to themselves. Serena became agitated as she described what happened.
"So, we have no idea what could have caused it. She just…like…faded and I can't believe you two didn't notice. Didn't you?" Jemina and Catty were totally stunned that they themselves hadn't noticed.
"No, I didn't notice at all. Maybe it was just in her lower body." Jemina said, trying to come up with some explanation for what was happening. "Yeah, Cause I didn't notice either. I was looking at her face, and I didn't notice anything. I hope she feels better." Catty seemed most concerned. Serena wondered if Catty knew something that she didn't. She pushed into her mind, but found nothing except concern and agitation along with other thoughts of Vanessa. She pulled out and realized how they had been talking out in the open. Serena looked around and suddenly felt more exposed than usual.
"Let's go to my house and talk about this. I feel like we shouldn't be talking about it on the beach." Serena felt a chill run up her back, like she was being watched. "Too many people." She looked around, but saw nothing out of the usual.
"Yeah, besides, I need to get out of the sun. I'm hot…in more ways than one." Catty said jokingly and winked. They all laughed and started to Jemina's car.
