Authors Notes: Well I haven't worked on this story for a long time.
Actually I haven't work on any for a long time... I've had such
writers block and I've only recently recovered: P
I'm sorry for it taking so long though and I'll try to make up for it
by having this chapter longer then the rest ^-^ Well I hope you
enjoy the fic :)

Disclaimers: As always plain and simple I don't own Sailor Moon.

So We're Not Alone
Chapter 3A: Keeping up

Last time:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well, it's nice to meet you Sere. My name's Darien." There
was a ruffle at the tent and Jack came in.

"We have to go now Dare. The girl awake?"

"Yes,"

"Good"

"Wait!" She said, "Where are you going?" She was frantic. These
people were the first she came across in a long time and they were
leaving her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack and Darien turned around to see Sere trying to vain to sit up.
" Please don't go! Your the only people I've seen in such a long time.
Don't leave me now!" Sere had tears in her eyes by now, and looked
begging like at them. Jack and Darien looked at each other almost as
if they had a silent conversation till Jack sighed and turned toward
Sere.
" We don't like people trailing behind. You'll have to earn your keep
if you stay along with us. We have enough trouble as it is without
baby-sitting added on the list." Sere just nodded in agreement
with a slight smile on her face.
The travelers got everything packed up while Sere got dressed in her
newly mended clothes. She wondered for a second on who patched
her clothes up, but then brushed it off as one of the women that was
probably with them. It wasn't till she walked out of the tent did she see
otherwise. The group of travelers was not just a bunch of men and
women as she assumed, but just a bunch of men. Not one female
was present, and as all of them turned to look at her strangely she
felt extremely uncomfortable.
" Hey, we're going to be headed off now. You ready?" Sere turned to
see Darien behind her carrying two backpacks and two sleeping bags.
" I guess so. I have nothing else to do right?"
" Good, we'll set off now. I'll carry your things till your able to do so."
" My things?"
" Yes, this backpack here is filled with supplies and a spare outfit, and
of course this is your sleeping bag. I got it together for you. You really
shouldn't be wondering about without food and water you know."
" Yes your right. Thanks, for everything."
" No problem." Jack then called for them to move out, and she was on
her way to the most important journey of her life.

***********************
As they continued on their journey Sere tried her best in keeping up.
She was assigned to clean camp and make sure she covered the
trial once she was taught how. She then was assigned to help with the
cooking. During her first couple of weeks Sere struggled and sometimes
was unable to do everything she was supposed to, even though she tried.
Though for some odd reason everything was done. This puzzled her for
a long time. Though after a while she forgot all about it.
It wasn't long before she was taken off the cooking duty. She was never
able to master the art. Instead she was put on clothes duty. She had
to clean and patch all the clothes that needed it. After a few lessons
Sere was quite good at sewing. She actually came to like it very much.
During their travels Sere came to recognize the places they passed.
They were in the sector she came from. Funny if she never left she
probably would have never meet them.... She'd be to afraid to even
come out of her little hole in the ground....
It was then Sere started to wonder, Where were they going? When
were they going to get there? and Why were they taking such a risk
to go there to begin with? They ARE going somewhere that much she was
sure. She always saw Jack and Darien looking at some map all the time,
so she was sure that there was a destination in mind. Just what?
One day she went to Darien about this. Out of him and Jack she knew she
could count on him to tell her. They had gotten so close during these times
that it was almost as if they always knew each other. When she asked
Darien had an almost uncertain look on him face. Then he told her.
*flash back*
"Dare were 'are' we going?"
"Sere, we're trying to do what everyone else is, to get away. We've found a
parchment from the olden days. We believe it will lead us to a safer land.
It basically talks about freedom in a distant world. It mentions the aliens, and
we believe that when we get there we will finally be free of them. We came
from a village that was purged and now the only ones left came with us.
We've lost so many on the way we dropped off the women and children in a
safer area until we could see if it was true. We aren't certain because it was
so old and faded and it was written in an ancient language that our town
historian had to decipher."
