Good-bye

Good-bye

Notes: Ok, guys. Gotta warn ya, it's a bit of a tearjerker. Break out the Kleenex!! Don't mind me, too much sugar today. I got this idea from a story a friend wrote while she was depressed over her boy-friends suicide. I use the North American names cause those are the only ones I know. Sorry! I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I SO do not own Sailor Moon (however much I may pretend to). Come to think of it, the only thing that's mine is the plot. And it ain't much. So don't yell at me. Thanx all!!

"I can't believe it," Raye whispered as she leaned against the wall. "It's just… not possible!"

"But it's true. She's gone. Forever," sighed Mina. No one else spoke. They were all in shock. The days events playing over in their minds. Darien sat in the corner, weeping silently, as Luna and Artemis tried to console each other.

"What are we going to do? We have no leader," Amy asked.

"We… we'll have to choose another one," Amara declared. She rubbed her temples, as though the very thought of finding a replacement caused her pain. "But no one can ever truly take Serena's place." The other's made noises of agreement.

Darien stood. "I- I'm going home," he managed, then turned and fled the temple. The room full of young women watched him leave.

"Should someone go after him? Make sure he's ok?" wondered Raye.

"There's no point. Besides, he needs to be alone right now," Michelle explained. This pretty much shut everyone up for a while.

Raye left the room and returned with tea for her fellow Scouts. She silently went through the motions of being the hostess. Suddenly, the brunette slammed her fist down on the table. "It's not fair! Why? Why did that damn monster have to attack her? Why not one of us? We were closer!" With that she collapsed into a sobbing heap. "No," she moaned. "No, Serena."

Luna gave her a reassuring pat on the arm. "Perhaps we should all go home. Get some rest and we will all meet again tomorrow." The cat sighed. "I don't know how I am supposed to tell Serena's parents. They don't even know that their daughter is- was Sailor Moon. Maybe if I… That's it!" Luna jumped up and ran down the temple steps, muttering to herself the entire way home.

"I agree with Luna. Let's go home. See ya all tomorrow?" Lita asked. Satisfied with their nods, she left the temple. The rest of the Scouts left, Trista casting a sad look at the moon hanging in the sky…

Author: Well??? What do you think?? I'm done chapter 2 (it's VERY short) and have started a third chapter. But I'll only post if I get enough reviews asking me to. By the way... pleez review!!! It's my first fic and I'm kinda curious and self-conscious. Thanx bunches!!!
