I AM A MOONIE!!!
The white picket fences lined every house in the neighborhood. Every house had a neat front lawn and gorgeous backyard gardens. Everywhere people were waking up and smiling merrily, excited about getting on with their day.
Raye looked down at her outfit. It was her temple outfit. This was strange. They hadn't even bothered to get her a new outfit. She pulled out the ever-familiar envelope. Serena-22 West End Drive.
She was currently on West End Drive it was a mere matter of finding the number and going home.
There it was. Serena's house was the prettiest on the block. Rose's peeked from the backyard garden as the front door swung open. Rini jumped out and ran outside. She stopped at the white picket fence. "BYE MOM!!!" She called out and merrily streaked down the street.
Serena appeared at the door. "BYE RINI!!! HAVE FUN AT SCHOOL!!!"
Rini was already gone. Darien then appeared at the door straightening his tie. He kissed Serena, grabbed his briefcase and hurried to the driveway. "GOOD-BYE SERENA!!!"
"GOOD-BYE DARIEN!!!" Serena said, waving happily.
Darien backed his car out of the driveway and sped away. Serena looked the same. Her hair was pulled up into those long pigtails. But she was wearing a flowered dress covered with a pink frilly apron. "Serena?" Raye asked.
Serena beamed. "RAYE!!! COME IN!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!!!"
Raye nervously crossed the threshold of Serena's house. Serena beamed at Raye. "Girl…it's been so long!!! Where on Earth have you been???"
"Saving the scouts."
"Oh…well you could have called."
Raye said. "So where will I find your Moon Pendant?"
Serena rolled her eyes. "On the counter."
Raye looked at Serena in surprise and was astounded when she saw Serena's moon pendant on the counter. She picked it up. "Here." She said giving it to Serena."
"I don't want that old thing."
"Why not?"
"I'm not into that crap anymore."
"What…"
"Coffee or tea?"
"Serena…"
"Who am I kidding? Tea of course."
Serena busied herself making tea for Raye. Raye looked strangely at Serena and then her eyes wandered to the mantel of the grand piano in the living room. She walked towards it and examined the pictures. Serena and Darien's wedding day.
A baby picture of Rini.
A signed picture of Mina under the blaring movie title SAILOR V.
Lita at the grand opening of "Flowers, Cakes, and More!"
Amy at her graduation from medical college.
Herself standing at the temple beaming next to her grandfather.
"Serena?"
"Yes?"
"You know we're in a dream now right."
Serena's happy grin faded.
"Serena?"
Serena walked to the piano. "Yes." She said softly.
"Then why do you want to stay?"
"Because this is the world I want. This is my world!!! I have everything!!! There is no pain and everyone's happy!!! You're happy too Raye!!! Look." Serena shoved the picture of Raye under Raye's nose.
"Serena…that picture was never taken."
"These events never happened. You didn't get married. Rini hasn't been born. Mina is not a star. Lita does not own a store. Amy has not graduated from college yet. And that picture…was never taken."
Serena looked sadly at Raye. "But…"
"It's all an illusion Serena. All but this." Raye held up the moon pendant. "This is real."
Serena reached for her pendant and smiled slightly sad. "Why do you always have to be right Raye?"
"Because you are doomed to always be wrong."
Serena smiled. "I guess it's time isn't it?"
Raye nodded.
"MOON CRISIS POWER!!!" I know this power up comes from the moon chalice but cut me some slack.
Finally. They were going home.
Yeah. Right. :-D.
