Author: I am SO sorry! Things have been insane and I haven't had much time to write at all. I almost put this fic on a permanent vacation! But that wouldn't have been fair to you guys! School seems to exist simply to make my life miserable. Thanx to those who wished me luck with my operation. It went well!

Special THANX to: Teck (It was your e-mail that really got me to finish this up), X-Moonchik (nice to know I'm not the only one on a permanent sugar high), Tenshi Light (I really think you should post your work. I would luv to read some of it.), kylieras (Glad to hear you liked the poem! Just outta curiosity, what song did you think it would go well with??), and everyone else who reviewed!

***Last Time***

"Serena!" exclaimed Darien and the ex-Inner Scouts.

"That's right. I'm back."

***

There was complete silence for a moment while everyone took in what had just happened. Serena had changed so much in the past few years. Her hair had turned from blond to silver and she had the body any woman would kill for.

Then Mina suddenly came to life. She jumped forward, grabbed Serena in a bear hug and started to dance around, singing, "You're back! You're back!"

"Air!" squeaked Serena. Mina smiled sheepishly as she put Serena back on the ground.

Davis, smirking, stood off to the side with the rest of the DigiDestined. The Digimon had returned to their rookie forms and were watching the humans in front of them. "For some reason," Davis whispered to Kari, "I thought the Sailor Scouts would have been a bit… scarier. Ya know?"

Kari nodded. "These people seem just as normal as we are."

There was a snort from behind them. "Like we're anyone to talk about normalcy," Tai pointed out. He paused for a moment, thinking. "But I thought these girls betrayed Serena… so why did that blonde seem so happy to see her?"

Lita's head whipped around as she stared at the boy who had just spoken. "Wha- what do you mean? Betrayed?" she asked in a low voice.

"You know!" exclaimed Davis. "You went behind her back! Supported Raye and Darien. Any of this ringing a bell?"

Lita gaped at the DigiDestined as Amy walked up beside her. "At least now we know why Serena was so upset with us. She thought we had purposely hurt her."

"You mean, you weren't trying to hurt me?" Neither Lita nor Amy had heard Serena come up behind them.

"Of course not!" Lita exclaimed as she pulled Serena into a hug.

"Then why didn't you tell me that Raye and Darien were…" Serena couldn't even bring herself to finish the sentence. By this point, everyone had grouped around the two women.

"We never meant to hurt you," said Raye. Serena looked the girl in the eyes and, to her surprise, saw pain and the beginnings of tears.

"If you didn't want to hurt me, then why did you?" demanded Serena. "You were supposed to be my best friend! And Darien, I thought you were my soul-mate!"

"Yeah!" Rini piped up. "Explain!" The girl placed her hands on her hips and stared up at her elders.

Raye took a deep breath. "Well, I don't really know how it happened. When you and Darien finally started going out, I still had feelings for him. I figured it was just a little crush or something. But one day, it just kinda happened." Raye gave Serena an almost pleading look. "You understand?"

Serena gave her a slow nod. She then shifted her gaze to her former boyfriend. "Darien? What about you?"

Darien looked decidedly uncomfortable being put on the spot. "Listen, we've all changed quite a bit since the Silver Millennium. You and I were living off how we felt then, not now. I still care about you, Meatball Head. Just not how I used to. Sorry… But one day I realized that. I think that was also when I realized how I felt about Raye. I know I should have told you, but I didn't want to hurt you."

"Well, you did." Serena was silent for a moment. "But that day, at the temple, why were you two so…"

"Bitchy?" supplied Raye. Serena looked a bit surprised at the word, but nodded. "I honestly don't know," Raye admitted reluctantly. "I think I was mad at myself more than anything else for letting you find out the way you did."

"Ditto," added Darien.

Matt leaned towards the rest of the DigiDestined and asked, "Anyone else feel like they're stuck in some sort of soap opera?" There were unanimous nods of agreement. "Thought so."

Serena shot him a glare before turning back to the others. "So, it was all just an accident. You didn't mean to hurt me. And now you want my forgiveness?" Serena summarized.

"Um, yeah."

"Pretty much."

"Correct."

"Uh huh."

"Yeppers."

Serena gave them a slow smile. "It might take me a while to trust you again. But I think it could happen…"

"Does this mean I don't get to beat the crap out of them?" Amara asked in a pitiful voice.

"Sorry, Amara," laughed Serena.

"You do know what this means, don't you?" Lita said with a smirk.

Serena eyed her warily. "What?"

Lita's smirk transformed into a grin. "Group Hug!" she bellowed. Before Serena could so much as blink, she found herself squished in between eight hyper young women. She ducked under their arms and crawled out between Mina and Amy's legs.

"That was just scary," Serena gasped from her seat on the ground. This caused the whole group to crack up.

"I hate to have to bring everyone back to reality," said a familiar voice from the trees. "But why come back now? Why did you bring the DigiDestined with you? And where have you been the past four years?!?!"

"Luna…" whispered Serena. From the branches of a tall tree leapt two small figures. It was Luna and Artemis, the guardian cats of the Sailor Scouts. And they hadn't changed a bit. Until now, they had remained quiet, in order to allow their Scouts to make up.

Serena held out her arms to the felines. They jumped into her embrace. "Now, aren't you going to answer my questions, Serena?" Luna asked with a raised eyebrow.

Raye nodded her head in silent agreement. "Speak, oh Meatball Headed One," she said with a pointed look.

Serena couldn't help but grin at her old nickname. "I guess I do have some explaining to do, huh?" She fell silent for a moment. "You may want to sit down and get comfy. This is gonna be a long story…"

Author: This would have been longer, but then there would have been even more of a wait… The only time I have to write is during my Food Studies class. *shudders* I'll try not to take so long with updates. 3 months… That's just insane! SORRY!!!

Oh, ya! I've begun to work on a new story! It's the sequel to "Good-Bye." I had an incredible amount of requests for a sequel and it just kinda happened! Though the story is currently untitled, it should be out in a few months.

Well, please review!! That was the only thing that kept me from scrapping this fic altogether. REVIEWS ARE NEEDED!!!!!
