Sage was at the gundam before anyone could see. Heero followed them and went to the pilot's seat and told Sakura to move a little bit, and he opened the door and Rena was there curled up.

" Rena!!" cried Sage. He got her to look at her, but she looked different.
" Her eyes!!" cried Sage. " Her eyes show no feelings!! It's a cold emptiness!!" cried Sage.

" It's Sorrow." Said Kero coming up.
" It's who?" asked Heero gathering Rena in his arms and climbing down.

" Sorrow, is one of the most dangerous Mystic cards." Replied Kero as he followed everyone to a spare room.

" Why?" asked Hilde.
" Because it can cause its victims eternal sadness." Replied Kero. " Also, when it's not in a body, it can be very very difficult to capture."

" How are we suppose to get it out of Rena's body!!" yelled Sage.

" Sakura do you have the dream card?" asked Kero.
" Yes. You mean you want us to go into her sub-conscious?" asked Sakura taking out the dream card.

" Yes, but you know you only have a limited time." Added Kero.

" Yes. Let's do this!!" cried Meilin.

" Everyone step back, you don't want to get sucked in also." Said Madison.

" DREAM CARD!! RELASE AND DISPEL!!" a bright light emitted and the four kids were gone and into Rena's sub-conscious.


In Rena's sub-conscious


" Mommy? Daddy?" asked a little Rena.
A pair of adults was just standing there and the little Rena was running towards them, but they kept on going farther and farther back.

" C'mon Rena dear." Said the woman. " Time to go sweetie."

" C'mon Rena." Added the man. Their faces were hidden in darkness.

" Mommy!! Daddy!! Why are you moving away from me!!" cried little Rena. Then the adults disappeared.

" Is.. is that Rena?" asked Sakura.
" Yes, we have to go and help her." Said Sage.

Suddenly, the scenary changed and it was the picture of Rena crying in the rain.

" Who is going to be with me?" cried Rena. Suddenly Sage and the others heard a voice, whispering to Rena, cruel and harsh words.

' no one dear, no one ever loved you and no one ever will. So come in, face the truth, little on. No one cares for you; your parents left you all alone. You have no one to turn to. Now, give in to the darkness. Look at your future, your two most trusted ones, betrayed you.' It said.

It then showed at picture of Sage and Sakura together as a boyfriend and girlfriend.

Sage and Sakura were really angry.

" That is cruel." Said Sakura.
" Disgusting." Added Sage.

Just as the two fake images were about to kiss, and the little Rena couldn't take it, the real Sage stepped up and shouted,
" Don't listen to it!!" cried Sage. The little girl looked up and saw Sage
and the others were looking at her. The picture faded and it was all dark and empty. The scene shifted to a park, on a rainy day. Rena was clutching the necklace, which was a friendship pendent, she had later given to Sage in the future.

Even though it was raining, Rena was the only one getting wet.

" Who.. who're you?" asked the little Rena. She was really scared. Sage was the first to go up to her.

" Listen," said Sage. " Whatever you do, don't give in."
" Why!! Why can't I!!" yelled the girl. Tears were falling down her cheeks, and she couldn't stop crying.

" If you do, your life wills me more miserable." Added Sakura.
" Also, you would have never had met really great friends." Said Meilin.
" Besides, your parents may be gone in physical, but they're always watching over you from above." Finished Madison.

Suddenly they heard some people coming.

" We have to go." Said Le.
" I'm still alone." Mumbled Rena. Sage tried to protest but he and the others were floating up. Then they saw the reenacting, of how Sage met Rena.

Rena barley opened her eyes, looked at the little Sage, and his mother and muttered quietly, " I guess I'm really not alone." And she smiled after that.


Sakura and the others were cheering that they got her back to being her old self again, until they saw Sorrow escaping the body.

" C'mon guys!! Time to get that card!!!" yelled Sage.
" YEAH!!!" added the others.



Back in reality


' I wonder how the kids are doing?' thought Duo. Everyone was looking at Rena. The most that had come out of her were cries that, she was calling for her parents, and why she couldn't give into the
darkness. Suddenly a bright light came out and the kids came out, but Rena was still unconscious.

Then a blue mist came out and stopped in the gundam room.

" That thing is going to get it." Growled Sage.
" Yeah!! That image may not have been real, but it was still gross and unbelievably cruel!!" shouted Sakura.
The two of them headed towards the blue mist figure, followed by Le and Meilin.

" What image were they talking about? And what happened?" asked Relena.
" Well, when we got in there, there were these two adults and they seemed to be running back, but
weren't intentionally moving." Replied Madison.

" Okay, but did you get a least a glimpse of them?" asked Trowa.
" No, their faces were concealed." Replied Madison shaking her head.
" Well, one more question, what was the image that Sage and Sakura seemed angry about?" asked
Sally.
" It was sick, it showed those two, as a couple." Replied Madison.

" WHAT!?!?!" cried everyone.
" Its true, that's why they were angry." Finished Madison.

Then Madison and Meilin ran to join Sage and Rena.

Suddenly they heard a blast and some screaming.

" Now!! Element fire!!"
" DUCK!!!"
" Force know my plight, release the light, FIRE!!"
" Windy!! Release and dispel!!"

They heard a swish, and some more explosions, followed by some thumps.

" Incoming!!!"
" Move to the right!!"
" Take this sorrow!!"
" Meilin no!!"
" AHHHHH!!!!"
" I gotcha!!"
" Thanks Le."
" No time for that, let's just get the aagggghhhh!!!!!!"

Then they heard some groaning.

" Doesn't sound like they're winning." Said Hilde, grimly.

" Let's go see if we can at least help them." Said Catharine.
" Wait!!" cried Quatre, but Catharine, Hilde, Noin, Zechs, Heero, Relena, Duo and Trowa were heading towards
the fight.
" What're we going to do?" asked Sally.
" We'll try to get Rena up and then try to help them. She's the only one that can seal that thing."

" Okay." Replied Wufei. He took a glass of water and splashed it into her face. Her face got wet, but it didn't wake her up.

Back at the fight when they got there, it wasn't pleasant.

Le, Sakura, and Sage were the only ones standing up.

Madison was helping Meilin. Even she was injured. The blue mist had a true form, and it looked like a young female adult, with kimono, she was all light blue and white, and her hair and eyes were a sapphire blue. She was smiling evilly, staring at the three young captors. All five of them were all scratched up, torn pieces of clothing laying on the ground, cuts and bruises all over their arms and legs.

" They look awful." Gasped Noin.
" No kidding, but what can we do? We would only get in their way, and we would be targeted also, since they haven't sealed that thing or woman yet." Replied Trowa.

They just stood there, not knowing what to do, or try thinking of a way to help them, and not get injured.


Back in the room where Rena was still unconscious,

" We did everything we did to try and wake her up." Said Quatre.
" But, there has to be something, something or someone she cares about that would wake her up in a bang." Added Dorothy.

" Sage." Said Sally.
" Wha?" asked Wufei.
" Sage you dummy!! He's the one Rena would be worried about!!" replied Sally.

" Okay, but how, Sage is in the other room fighting that mystic card." Replied Wufei.

" Just whisper, Sage is in trouble." Replied Dorothy.
" Okay." Replied Quatre.
He went over to Rena, and bent down. He whispered what Dorothy had said and Rena was up in a flash.

" Where's Sage!!!" cried Rena.
" In the other room, fight that mystic card. You better hurry, because by the sounds I heard, they aren't doing too well." Replied Sally.

Then in a flash, Rena was heading towards the battle.

" WINDCESS!! RELEASE AND DISPEL!!!" A giant gush of wind came, more powerful than windy, and trapped the sorrow card.

" Sorrow card!! Return to your power confine!!" soon the card was sealed and went to the person behind the g-gang that was watching.

"RENA!!!" cried Sage, Le, Sakura, Madison, and Meilin.

Rena went running up to Sage and hugged him.

" Rena, I'm glad you're safe." Smiled Sage.

" It's all my fault." Sobbed Rena.
" What?" asked Sage, holding her in front of him by her shoulders.
" It's all my fault for being helpless, after I told my life story." Replied Rena.
" Rena…." Started Sage, but Rena cut him off. His hands were off her shoulders by now.

" I shouldn't have been so depressed, it's my fault for being weak and helpless, and almost believing that stupid image." Added Rena.

Sage by now frowning.
" Rena, I'm sorry."
" I know you are, but do you know what I went through."

Sage sighed.
" No, I mean I'm apologizing ahead of time." Replied Sage stepping back.
" What?" But suddenly Sage slapped Rena across the cheek. Rena was shocked, and so were the others. Rena put a hand to the red spot on her cheek and stared at Sage, utterly bewildered.

" HEY!!!!" cried Relena, Catharine, Hilde and Noin.
" I think he better have a good reason." Said Duo nervously, looking at the faces of the girls.
" For once Maxwell, I agree." Added Zechs.

" Sage."

" Look, I know what I did was a surprise to you, but listen. Before you start getting angry at me, hear what I have to say." Replied Sage.

" I know what you went through. You were hysterical. I had to get you to your senses. Remember my parents also died, if you haven't forgotten. You had just forgotten what we BOTH went through," said Sage, "But understand this, I couldn't let you be in self pity. So now that you know, tell me, am I still considered you friend?" asked Sage, his back at Rena.

Rena was thinking about it and then she took away her hand from the spot that was slapped by Sage and smiled.
" Sage, I don't consider you a friend." Replied Rena.

" WHAT!?!?!" cried Sakura, Le, Meilin, Madison, Kero, and the g-gang.
" Rena," said Sage, his fists were clenched to his side.
" Not like that," added Rena, Sage turned around and she grabbed Sage's hands, and were holding them," I consider you my BEST friend. Thank you, for getting me back in reality." Then she started to sob again.

" Rena!" cried Sage and had her in an embrace," Don't cry, I understand now, I will always be with you no matter what, my friend." Smiled Sage. He had tears coming out of his eyes, but they were for the happiness that he felt right now with Rena.


" WHAT A KODAK MOMENT!!!!" shouted some voices. Rena and Sage immanently let go of each other and stared at Sakura and her friends.

All of them were grinning and Madison was holding up her video camera, and grinning like a Cheshire cat.

" HEY!!!!!" cried Rena and Sage. " MADISON!!!"

" Hey, are you two in love or something?" asked Sakura grinning.
" Oy ve." Said Sage slapping his forehead. Rena was the one grinning now.
" No, but what about you and Le?" replied Rena.
" HEY!!!"

" You know I always wondered if you four were in love?" said Madison.

" YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO AGREE!!!!" cried Rena, Sage, Le, and Sakura. Then Meilin couldn't hold it in anymore. She started laughing!! Laughing like crazy.

Then the others stopped arguing and laughed also.

" At least that's all over with." Smiled Sally coming over.
" By the way, how DID you wake up Rena?" asked Relena.

" Easy, just four magic words." Grinned Dorothy, mischievously.
" What?" asked Noin.

" Sage, is in trouble." Replied Quatre.
" CUTE!!!" cried the girls. The boys sighed thinking," Girls!!"

" Well, don't you think we should heal them?" asked Trowa.
" No, because they did it themselves." Replied Catharine.

" WHAT!!!!" cried everyone but Catharine.

" Oh brother." Sighed Heero.
