Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina, and Darien were at the hospital. Sailor Moon, who had de-transformed back into Serena, had a major fall right after defeating the Negamonster. The battle had been one of the fiercest they had ever had to fight. The monster was strong, stronger than any regular Negamonster that they had ever faced before. Darien sat on a chair, he was holding his head in his hands, and his elbows were on his knees. Amy was pacing back and forth so much that if it were dirt beneath her feet, there would be a small path. Raye was sitting down, jiggling her foot nervously. Lita and Mina were in a corner talking quietly, with concerned looks on both their faces. Everyone was worried about Serena. She had been unconscious for a long time now. Darien looked at his watch and then looked towards the room that Serena was in. Amy walked over to him and gently placed her hand on his shoulder. He looked up at her gravely. She mustered the best smile she could and said gently, "Don't worry, Darien. She'll be okay."
He nodded ever so slightly and looked down at his feet. "It's my fault. I should've been there to catch her," Darien said with anguish.
"You were there, though. You caught her the first time, which saved her life. Who would have known that the monster would have still been strong enough to do an attack? It's never happened before."
Darien sighed and nodded a little. A few minutes later a doctor came in. Everyone looked up at him hopefully. "Serena has regained consciousness."
Everyone cheered and jumped for joy. They hugged one another and were jubilant. Their comrade and friend was better. "Can we go see her?"
"Yes, you may. Only for a few minutes, though. She's been through a lot of stress today."
"Of course." Mina, Raye, Lita, Amy, and Darien ran into the room that Serena was in. She looked up with her big blue eyes.
"Mina! Raye! Lita! Amy! I'm so happy to see you!" She smiled brightly and scanned the faces. She stopped at Darien, and a look of confusion ran across her face. "Who are you?"
Darien looked at Serena unbelievingly. "You don't remember me?"
"No. Should I?" She looked at everyone else. "Amy, who is this man?"
Amy looked at Darien, and then at Serena. "I'll be right back." She ran out of the room. A few minutes later the doctor came in with her.
"Amy says there is a problem."
"Yeah. She can't remember me, Dr. Mizuno." Doctor Mizuno was Amy's mother.
"She can't remember you?"
"No. Not at all!" There was a sound in Darien's voice, like he was about to cry, or he was going to go into hysterics any second.
"Okay, you need to calm down. Everyone, come with me." Everyone followed Dr. Mizuno into the hallway.
"What's wrong with her, Mother?"
"Well, she remembers all of you, right? The only one she forgets is Darien?"
"Yes. She only forgets me."
Dr. Mizuno looked at Darien with pity. "She has selective amnesia. When someone suffers head trauma, they can get amnesia. There are two types. An amnesiac can have complete amnesia, where they don't recall anything. Serena has the second type that an amnesiac can have. She has selective amnesia. Selective amnesia is when they block memories that may be painful, or it is just something that happens for no reason. Selective amnesia is hardly ever permanent, but I suggest you let her remember you on her own. Don't try to help her, or she will most likely never remember you. Do you understand?"
"Y-yes ma'am."
"I'm sorry, Darien. I know it will be hard." Darien nodded a little and started walking down the hall.
"Where are you going," Raye asked.
"I have to think. I don't think Serena will mind if I'm not by her side right now." He had a hurt sound in his voice. He was about to cry. Raye, Amy, Lita, and Mina looked at one another and then looked at Darien, who was walking away from them.
"Hopefully she gets her memories of him back soon," Lita said distantly.
"Yeah. It's going to be really hard." Everyone nodded in agreement and then walked back into the room that Serena was in.
