Rini and Serena were watching blankly at the screen

Rini and Serena were watching blankly at the screen. They stare motionless until Serena hurriedly stands up and walks to the phone, dials and waits for a while until someone answers.

Serena: Michiru!, it's me, Serena… I know it's not a good moment… I just saw on TV the crash, how's Haruka… please keep me posted… bye.

Rini: Well?

Serena: She told me that paramedics are going to take Haruka to an ambulance, then to the hospital, that's all she told me, she'll call if anything comes up, but she told me that Haruka seems fine, she's not even unconscious.

Rini: That's good news then!

Serena simply nodded, but anyone could tell that she seems worried.

Rini: or did Michiru said something else?

Serena: what?... no, that was all.

Rini: You look … distant… or… are you ok?

Serena: Is just that… hmm… no, nothing.

Rini: sure? If you wanna talk…

Serena: I told you, it's nothing, I'm just shocked, that's all.

Rini: Hmm'kay

Rini knows her, she knows she's probably hiding something, but also she knows that when her mom hides something is either because she wants to protect everyone and not worry them, or because it's a silly thing, but considering by her reaction, Rini bets on the first guess.

Later everyone gathers on the Shrine, they all heard of Haruka's accident, Michiru called Serena not long ago, telling her that Haruka's fine, she already is showing her stubborn self by wanting to leave already the hospital demanding she doesn't need to be under observation, but Michiru persuaded her to stay at least until next morning.

The rest of the day they all stay there talking about casual things, but everyone notice that Serena is not her usual cheery self, she just tells that she's tired, and the rest assume that she still needs some recovery.

By evening Serena leaves saying that she wants some rest, Darien and Rini take her home. She remains quiet most of the time, just thinking about her dream and how something very similar occurred for real, too far from a coincidence she thinks, but still she doesn't want to jump to conclusions, she wants to dig into the situation before worrying the rest of her friends.

During night she lays silent on her bed, staring to the ceiling, Luna sleeps beside her. Serena wants to find out if there's something behind this dream, but on the other hand she's afraid that this'll happen again. After hours of endless thoughts she finally falls asleep.

Not long after she closes her eyes she starts to dream again. This time she's walking alone at night in the street, she then sees a bright light ahead, she runs to it and when she's getting closer she's able to see that the light was the impact of a special attack, she sees that a battle is ahead, the scouts and Tuxedo Mask are fighting against 3 figures, she can't see clearly the opponents, she tries to transform but she can't move, she just watches how her friends are being beaten then a huge ray falls from the sky, for a while it seems as if it were daylight, Serena covers her eyes because of the intense light but night falls again when the light caused by the ray starts to dissipate, when Serena opens her eyes she sees everyone lying on the floor motionless. She finally is able to move, and walks towards them, she reaches Tuxedo mask, shakes him trying to wake him up, without response, then she goes to her future daughter getting the same result, then with Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, but nothing. Tears start to flow down her cheeks, she hears a deep voice but she can't tell where it comes from, the voice is deep and strong, and it echoes, making Serena frighten, she turns around trying to fin out who's talking, she only hears: "Last was a warning, now I'm being serious, you're coming with me…"

She turns around and sees one of the attackers rushing towards her with long pointy sharp claws Serena can't duck, the next thing she sees is blood being split over the floor… then everything goes black.

After this Serena wakes up, sweating, scared and shocked. Everything is quiet, the only sound is the sound of her deep breathing, but not for long, the silence is broken by a beeping. Serena tries to calm herself for a moment she doesn't recognize the sound, then she realizes that the beep comes from her communicator. Luna wakes up too, but because of the darkness she doesn't notice the look of fear on Serena's face.

After a couple of more beeps Serena finally grabs her communicator and opens it.

Mars: It was about time you answer!! I know it's late but we wouldn't call you if it weren't an emergency.

Serena: What's happening.

Mars: We're being attacked, near the park, we need you.

Serena: I'll be right over.

Serena stands up and runs up to the attic, to her surprise Rini wasn't there.

Luna: Probably she's already there, we should hurry.

Both Serena and Luna run outside, when they were close to the park they saw a light.

Serena: No!... This can't be happening…

The two reach the scene, Serena is frozen staring at what was happening, it was just like the dream she just had. Only this time she was able to see the 3 figures clearly, they were 3 youmas, the only difference between them was their skin color, Serena could see the three of them have with the long sharp claws she remembers well.

She stood there unable to move, this time not because she couldn't against her will, but because she was petrified fearing for what may be about to happen.

The scouts were yelling at her, asking for her to transform, but Serena didn't react at all, then the yells changed from "transform!!" to "Watch out!!" as one of the youmas started running towards Serena…
