Good-buys and bad news
--------------------------------------------------
Two months has passed since the accident at the park. The outer had helped the inner defeat Queen Nehaline. They also learned that Sailor Sol was in reality their friend Naru after the battle was over. Naru promised to help train them alone with the outers after Serena's request.
It was the last day of school. The twins Lucas and Maria are going back to London next week. They will be going to Oxford University. Every student in her class will be coming to her house for a party. Some of the teachers, workers from her company, and few other people that she got to know will also be attending.
It was almost lunch time and her class was every excited about the party. They as a whole decided to make it a masquerade ball. All the invitation has been made and sent out with the community formed for this party. She was happy that her students are excited about it. Michelle, Alex, the three lights, and many of her gusts alone with her student will be performing tonight.
Serena was musing about everything that has took place since she came here and what will happen that night, when she was suddenly snapped out of her thought by a knock at the door.
"Yes, come in," she answered the knock.
A blond hair and blue eyes young man stepped in. he was tall about 6'2". He was wearing black jeans, and a red shirt with black leather jacket. He had black leather boots. On his neck is a necklace with a star pendent. He was handsome and looked no older than fifteen maybe sixteen at most. In other word, he looked like Aragorn with blond hair and crystal blue eyes.
He swept the class with his eyes as if watching their soul. The student fidgeted for a bit until his attention catch someone else. All the girls' despite the feeling of being naked in front of this stranger were drooling at him openly with predatory hungry eyes. He turned his attention to the teacher as she sat their lazily taking everything in. as he kept staring at her, she looked up and raised an eyebrow asking him what.
"Arone, what are you doing here at school?" Serena asked the young man now identified as Arone as she got up to give him a hug and a kiss.
"Mom," Arone complained, but smiled.
"How was your stray with Celesta?" Serena asked him.
"It was great. She was disappointed that you couldn't make it to her engagement party."
"I'm glad. It's almost lunch, why don't you stay and have lunch with me?"
"Sure, Alex asked me pick up Hotaru from her school today. Is it ok?"
"Of course you can, darling," Serena answered Arone.
Soon it was lunch and the girls swamped over Arone as soon as his mother left him for a few minutes.

Rive dell
------------------------------
Aragorn has come to Rivendell in his room. He went to the balcony and looked at the star filled clear sky. He looked at the almost full moon as he remember the summer night spent with Serena complaining as the sister insist on her to memorize the constellations and the difference between a star from a planet just by looking at them. He had joined them from time to time, which made Serena very happy.
Flashback
"Welcome to the torture chamber." Serena told Aragorn as he came outside where Destiny and Fate telling Serena about the stars.
"It's not torture chamber; it's called learning. Ever heard of it?" asked Fate becoming irritated with Serena.
Serena grumbled something under her breath as Aragorn came and sat next to her.
"Yes, yes, can we move on already," Serena told her as Aragorn and Destiny laughed at the face she made while complaining.
"Tell me about the north star?" Destiny asked Serena as she pointed her fingers at a distant star. It was shining brighter than the others and also seems to be larger.
"The North Star is a title of the star best suited for navigation northwards. It is the star at the end of the "handle" of the Little Dipper asterism in the constellation Ursa Minor. At any point north of the equator the angle from the horizon to the North Star is the same as the latitude from which that angle was taken." Serena recited the words from memory word for word.
Aragorn listen as he sat there. Today was his off day from lesson with her in the evening. It was always fun being around her. She has more lesson than Aragorn does and hardly ever have a time for her to do anything. When she does have some time off she would drag Aragorn to the market place or to see the people and play with the younger children. They loved her and she in turn loved them.
"Aragorn… gorn," Serena moved her hand in front of his face in concern.
"Yes," Aragorn asked Serena as he took her small hand in his larger one.
"Are you alright?" Serena asked him.
"Why wouldn't I be?" he asked her looking confused.
"Well you fall a sleep and I have been trying to wake you for the half an hour," she answered him.
Aragorn looked to the side to see where he was only to find his head on her lap. One hand in his hair careless it, without her even realizing it, and the other hand in his where he catch it. He looked up at her eyes and smiled sleepily. She smiled back.
"Let's go back, it's getting late."
--------------------------------------------------------------
End of flashback
Aragorn looked at the sky as he remembers his wife and her last letter to him. He wonders not for the first time when the ring would be found and she would return. He hard a knock at the door and without an answer it opened to let Arwen in.
Arwen was beautiful with long black hair that reached her hip and blue eyes. She had pointed ears as every elf and unlike his wife she was tall. She was wearing a blue gown with intricate design.
She smiled as she spotted Aragon in the balcony. She walked over to him and looked at the garden below. It was a beautiful sight to see.
"You are thinking about her again," Arwen asked. It wasn't a question but a statement. She liked him, but knows he was already taken.
"Arwen," Aragon said her name with sisterly love. She got her answer for she knows he would never say it aloud. She knows he missed her and suffering for it. She could do nothing but little comfort to fill the gap.
"Adar is looking for you," Arwen told him after a brief hug.
"Why?" asked Aragorn.
"I don't know. He said something about it being a good and bad news."
"Oh… should I be worried."
"I don't know."
"…"
"Come on let's get going."
The two walked into Lord Elrond's study. There sitting on the chair was Elrond and the twins Elladan and Elrohir. They have once fought side by side with Aragorn's father. Elladan and Elrohir are like brothers to him and Elrond like a father. All three elves turned to them as they entered the study. They exchanged greetings after sitting down.
"You wanted to see me?" Aragon asked Elrond.
"Yes, I have some news for you," Elrond told all of them as he made eye contract.
"What is it, Adar? You seem worried?" Arwen asked him with worry and concern in her voice and eyes. The other three nodded their agreement.
"The ring has been found by a hobbit," Elrond told the occupant of the room to see their reaction. They were all shocked about the news and what it could mean for middle earth. He looked at the twins first and saw a battle lust in their eyes for the coming fight. He saw their understanding and acceptance as well. He looked at Arwen and her pale face. She knows if a fight broke loose than most elves would have to live, but there was also acceptance. Finally he looked at Aragon. He saw hope, sadness, love, battle lust, and many more emotion running through his head before settling down to his normal self of claim exterior.
"Where is it now?" asked Aragon, first one to get over the shock.
"It is on its way here with the hobbits, but they will need help," Elrond pushed to let the others disgust what is being said before continuing. "Aragon I want you to bring them here safely."
"Of course, when will I live," Aragon asked.
"Soon I will give you the detail later," Elrond told him. "There will be a council meeting once you get back."
The meeting continued for few minutes more before the twins and Arwen left. Elrond and Aragon talked on the detail of what Aragon has to do and what they should do.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Arone after leaving his mother left to pick Hotaru from school. Once he arrived there he waited in his car outside the school. The school bell rang and he got out of the car. Students were coming out from left to right. He waited for her almost fifteen minutes now and getting frustrated. The girl population were eyeing him hungrily, yet never approached him. He was getting tired of their giggles and pointing at him when they thought he wasn't looking.
Another ten minutes passed when he spotted Hotaru coming with another girl. They were talking, so they didn't see him. The girl spotted a boy and run to him. Hotaru looked for Alex's car at his usual spot. She didn't see it and looked worried. The girl and the boy came back to Hotaru.
"What is it Hotaru?" asked the girl.
"Well Alex isn't here yet, and he has never been late," answered Hotaru.
"We can give you a ride," the boy told her.
"Thanks," Hotaru said gratefully when someone taped her on the shoulder.
"Yes, may I help…" said Hotaru as she turned around to find the last person she expected. She looked at his face and seeing the scroll attached to it looked around. She saw the jealous looks from the girls and some boys. She wanted to laugh badly.
"I have been waiting for you for half an hours," Arone told her with a dipper scroll at seeing the laughter in her eyes.
"Why are you here? Where is Alex?" asked Hotaru as she linked her hands with his and looked back to her friends.
"He told me to pick you up form school, but if I know it would be like this…" he didn't finish the sentence knowing she understood.
"I see. I want to introduce my friends. This is Felicity A.K.A. Fleiss, and her boyfriend Nick," she said pointing at the individuals. "Fleiss and Nick this is Arone my nephew."
"Hey, you aren't older than me, so you don't get to say I am your nephew," Arone said with a scroll, but than smile. "It's nice to meet you."
"Same here pall, and I know how you feel," said Nick shaking hands with Arone.
"It's a pleaser," said Fleiss.
"Hey are you guys busy tonight?" asked Arone.
"No, why?" asked Nick.
"Well my mom's having a custom party for her class and few other people tonight, would you like to come," asked Arone.
"Oh I almost forgot about it. Arone I need to pick up my dress," Hotaru told Arone as she fished out an invitation from her bag.
"Sorry I forgot to give this to you." Hotaru told them as she handed the invitation to Fleiss.
"It's ok when does it start," asked Fleiss.
"At six. If you want you could come with us to pick a dress, since Taru forgot to give you the invitation earlier," asked Arone.
They agreed to go with them. The four of them went to Arone's car and drove off to pick up their dresses and get their hair done.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the party everything was going grate when all of a sudden Serena collapse. Arone and Alex picked her up and brought to her room. They were worried and the other girls came too.
"Is she all right," asked Mina.
"She will be fine," Arone answered. He was worried about his mother knowing she is having a vision.
"You should enjoy the party I will stay here with mom," he told all of them.
"Go I will stay with them," Trista told them before shooing them out of the room.
"What is going on aunt Trista?" asked Arone.
"She will tell you when she wakes up," answered Trista with a sad smile.
Two hours has passed and it was almost midnight. Serena wake to see her son and Trista in the room. She sat up. The two looked at her.
"It is time for us to live for middle earth, Arone" said Serena to her beloved son.
"It has started," he asked her not believing that they would live for the place he always dreamed of going. He wanted to see his father and the world that her mother loved so much and left behind.
"Yes," was the only replay. He looked at Trista to get a conformation from her and at her nod he got up to get ready.
