A.N: Hi people. I was gonna write a new chapter sooner, but I kinda
had no chance. Yesterday me and my friend took the bus to West Edmonton
Mall and went to see Blackhawk Down (It was 18A so we had to buy tickets to
Queen Of The Damned - which has an awesome soundtrack – and then we snuck
into Blackhawk Down after we bought snacks). It was a really awesome movie
and I recommend you go see it! After that we went on the roller coaster and
stuff and had Chinese food for dinner. (^_^) Anyway, when we went to take
the bus back, it stopped halfway through its usual run and the driver said
he wasn't going where we needed to go. He also said no other buses were
going there! So, we called my friends mom (because my parents are in BC for
spring break) to see if she would come, but she said no because she didn't
want to drive that far! (Nice mom, huh?) We were stranded in the middle of
the city!! After around half an hour, another bus came that was going to
Kingsway Mall, so we took that and were gonna take a bus from there to
where we needed to go. But, I lost my bus ticket somehow and we had no more
change! Luckily, the driver let us on anyway and after leaving the mall at
7:00, we finally got to my house at 9:30. Needless to say, I was too mad
and frustrated to write a new chapter. This one is a bit short, but I
promise the next chapter will be much longer. Promise, Promise, Promise!!!
Thank you to those of you who reviewed!

Queen Beryl stood and angrily sent the youma before her crashing into the wall, with just a flick of her wrist. "There are no excuses for your mistake!" She yelled as the youma picked itself up off of the ground, keeping its eyes on anything but the angered queen. "Because of your stupidity, the entire Negaverse is at risk." She began to pace in front of her throne. "Do you know what you've done?" Her voice was cold and deadly as she faced the youma once again. "You may have just killed us all you fool!" The youma began to shake as it once again tried to speak.
"Your majesty, the beast Varies overpowered three of the holders to her room. We couldn't stop her before she…"
"Your petty excuses won't spare you! You were Varies trainer, you must have said something to put the idea of killing that brat into her mind. She was a smart youma, and one of the best. She wouldn't have attacked for no reason, so what did you say?!" Beryl now stood in front of her minion, waiting for an answer.
The youma lowered its head, knowing it was going to die for its answer. "I merely stated that if Sailor Moon's friends weren't there to protect her we could kill her easily." Beryl shook her head in disgust and went back to her throne, sitting down and letting her expression relax until she almost looked calm.
"I thought you were smarter then that, otherwise I wouldn't have placed you as Varies trainer. Only a moron would think the way you do. Not only have we lost one of our most valuable fighters, but now we must also face the anger of that moon brat. The death of her friend will make her determined to beat us at all cost. That means, if she has to put her life at risk, she won't even hesitate to do so." The youma's eyes widened as it realized it's folly. "And because she will put her life at risk to destroy us, her Scouts will put theirs at risk to make sure she isn't hurt." Beryl now had her fingers to her temples in thought. Her hands slowly lowered to her side as she glared at the beast before her.
"Queen, I did not realize…" It's words were cut off as black energy from the queens crystal slammed into it, frying it on the spot. Queen Beryl frowned at the pile of dust at the foot of her throne, sighing in frustration.
"Eliar!" Dark purple mist formed in front of the throne, solidifying into a youma that looked half human half tiger. The youma bowed as it approached the queen. "Eliar, we have a situation."
"Yes, your majesty?" Eliar's voice was a low rumble.
"We need a plan. Somehow, we must find a way to make that fools mistake into something to our advantage." Eliar nodded, her smile growing as ideas began to form in her head.
"I'm sure I can think of something."

Serena sat and watched the rain falling on the balcony in Darien's apartment. She thought it fitting that the whether was as miserable as she felt. If it had been a sunny day, she probably would have snapped. It had been an hour after Molly's funeral, but it felt like she had just been staring at her friends casket five seconds ago. She still couldn't accept that her best friend was dead.
Serena had told her parents about Darien and had said she would be staying with him for a while. Her father hadn't liked it, but her mother understood Serena needed to be around someone that could be there for her all 24:7. Her mother had always been like that, only wanting the absolute best for her children, so she had convinced her husband to leave Serena alone.
Warm arms encircled her waist and she sighed as she leaned back into Darien's embrace. He pulled her loose hair back and hooked it behind her ear, placing a kiss between her shoulder and her neck. "How are you holding up?" He murmured.
She turned enough to face him before settling back into his arms. "I just don't…I can't accept it. If I had just been a little quicker…or if I had fought better…" He placed a finger over her lips to silence her and brushed away a tear from her cheek.
"There's nothing you could have done Serena. You tried your hardest." Serena shook her head and lifted one hand to start playing with his hair, not wanting to look in his eyes.
"If I had just left with her when she said we should go, it never would've caught her." Darien moved his hand under her chin, making her look into his eyes. She could see the love and worry in their depths, and decided she would try her hardest to get better. For him. "I'm a little tired I guess. I'll feel better in the morning, don't worry."
Darien didn't believe her, but he didn't say anything. Picking her up as if she weighed nothing, he brought her to his room and lay her in the bed. He was just about to walk out the door when her voice stopped him. "Please…Don't go. Stay with me?"
"Serena, I don't think…"
"Please?" Sighing, he walked back to the bed and lay down beside her. She immediately cuddled against him, falling into a dreamless sleep. He watched her for a while before finally falling asleep himself.
