Disclaimer: I do NOT own Sailor Moon, but I do own some unfamiliar characters in later chapters.
A/N: Ok pretty boring chapter. As was the second chapter, but please don't worry the next chapter 'Betrayal' is going to have so much drama. PLEASE REVIEW!!
Amy's P.O.V
It's been almost four months since the Starlights left. I wish I could say things are getting better, but they're not. Mina hasn't been her bubbly cheerful self in ages, and Serena, well I don't know where to begin . . . she has really changed. However, I guess I'm no better. I ease the pain by reading books; it takes my mind off things for a little while. I really want things to go back to the way they were, but that seems hard right now. I haven't exactly even talked to anybody in about 3 weeks. It seems like we're falling apart. And I think if things keep going the way they're going, we will eventually fall apart. We haven't even heard from the Outers in a while. Last, I heard from them was in an email. Amara and Michelle are happily in America, whereas Hotaru and Trista are guarding the gates of time.
Mina's P.O.V
I sat in the back of my seventh period class, Math. I was staring off into space, as my math teacher Mr. Walker kept droning on and on. 'Does that man ever shut up?' I wondered. I sighed looking out the window, wishing everything could be different, wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with him, wishing that he would come back. But I knew the chances of that were slim. He had a duty, just like I have with my princess. I guess I could understand where he was coming from staying with his princess and taking care of her, like I would with my princess. But I wondered if I he even cared for me? Pushing that thought to the back of my mind, I picked up my book bag and left the classroom when the bell rang. I walked over to my locker, and saw Bunny. She turned and smiled at me, but I knew it wasn't exactly a happy smile, but a sad smile, a lonely smile.
I nodded to her and asked, ''Serena, do you want to come over to my house?''
''Yeah, sure. Just you and me right?'' I nodded. We grabbed our books, and headed towards my house, as school was over. When we got to my house, we went into my room and sat down on the bed. I held out my arms towards her, and she fell into them. We sat there for a long time like that, hugging each other. I lifted my head off her shoulder, and looked into her eyes. She nodded, and we returned to hugging.
Some people would think it was weird that Serena and I could understand each other without even speaking, but we had that special bond. Out of all the scouts, Serena and I were the closest. I really don't know how we became best friends actually. In the beginning, we barely even talked to each other. I guess as the years past, we got closer.
''Do you want to talk about it?'' Serena asked, pulling slightly back from the hug. I shook my head, saying I wasn't ready. Of course, Serena understood and nodded.
''When you're ready, talk to me, Ok?'' She simply said, before saying she had to go home and do homework. After Serena left, I found myself staring out the window and looking at the stars. I closed my eyes and hugged myself.
Serena's P.O.V
After leaving Mina's I walked home, sadly. When I got to my house, I went straight to my room and sat on my bed. I felt so lonely. My friends hadn't been the same. Darien, well I hadn't spoken to him in so long. And there was no Chibi-Chibi to cheer me up, or Rini to make me smile. I guess I had to get over everything by myself that time. I thought, 'Maybe I should leave for a while, just to find myself, to find who I really am.' Thinking this over and over again, I decided that this was what I was going to do. I slowly walked down the stairs into the family room. I saw Mom and Dad sitting on the couch. I gulped and went to talk to them.
''Then it's settled. You'll be staying with your cousin in Florida.'' My mom smiled.
''We'll get a plane ticket tomorrow. Go and pack.'' My dad said. I hugged both of them before returning to my room. I could not believe they actually let me go. I thought it would be harder than that, but they both thought it would be good for me to finish my last year of high school with my cousin. They said I could come home whenever I wanted. I grabbed a pink suitcase from under my bed, and started filling it up.
Yaten's P.O.V
I yawned as I did my nightly rounds in the castle. I checked each room to make sure everything was running smoothly, and there were no problems. I looked down at my watch, 'Almost done.' I could finally go to bed. It was after 11:30 pm and I was tired. After checking the last room, I mentally cheered, retiring to my chambers. I smiled arriving at my wooden door. I opened the room and flopped down on my four-poster bed. Almost a second later, I was fast asleep.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. Rolling over, I picked the damn thing up, and threw it against the wall. Mumbling swear words under my breath, I pulled back the covers and went into the bathroom. I washed my face with cold water and dried it with a towel. I got dressed and went down to breakfast where I found Taiki and Seiya. I looked at them, pity in my eyes. Seiya had dark circles under his eyes, and Taiki just looked like a mess. I shook my head sadly at them and sat down beside Seiya. I looked down at my food, not exactly feeling hunger anymore. Therefore, I got up and went for walk.
I walked around for a little while, until something stopped me in my tracks. I looked ahead and saw Mina. I blinked a couple times before realizing it was my mind playing tricks on me. She wasn't here. Wait! Why am I thinking about that airhead? It's not as if I cared about her. On the other hand, maybe I did.
