A/N: Chapter 2, took me some time to do this chapter and also thinking a
name for it too. Also, if anyone hadn't noticed, the story title is from
the song 'Cry' by Mandy Moore. And I'm gonna admit I came up with the plot
of this story when I was listening to the song. Just keep that in mind...
Also, yes, I don't really like H/U pairing for some reason, I don't like to pair main characters like Serena...its just me...
CH. 2 : Unstable Futures
Serena had a fresh new start at the Arcade the next morning. She had just had her mind off of Darien. But not for long.
"Hey Serena..." said Andrew approaching her with a sad frown, "I'm sorry to hear about Darien." Serena, who was happily playing the Sailor V game, suddenly burst in tears. Every head in the arcade turned to her. Andrew was suprised at wide-eyed.
''Serena!'' he exclaimed, ''Hey, I'm sorry, you can stop crying...Serena...please." Serena had stopped crying but she was still sniffling with her blue eyes filled with crystal tears. With her hands in a fist, she hugged her face, still sniffling.
''Its okay Andrew,'' she said quietly, "I-I still can't get over his death..."
Andrew smiled kindly at her, "Yeah, he was my friend too...I'm sorry for his loss..." Serena nodded with her eyes closed. Just then, the arcade glass door slid open and stood in the was a tall dark olive haired woman with pale skin and accompaning her was young dark-purpled hair girl with large, sad purple eyes with a very pale complexion. The woman's face was tensed and strict.
"Setsuna (A/N: Okay, I'm using the Japanese name for the outers because I'm more used to them.).'' Serena said softly, ''Hotaru..."
"Serena," Setsuna said with a deep and stern voice as she walked towards the two blond. She glanced at Andrew and said, "Can you leave us?"
"Oh of course." Andrew said nodding. He looked suspiciously at Setsuna, Hotaru and then at Serena before leaving to the counter.
"Yes?" asked Serena quietly, "D-"
"Yes," Setsuna interrupted her, "I did." Her face softened and frowned sympathetically. "I'm sorry Serena...There was no more of Little Lady anymore, there was no more of Crystal Tokyo...just blank..." Hotaru nodded sadly in agreement.
"What'd you mean?" Serena asked, her voice contained a slight tone of fear, "What'd you mean blank...?"
"There's nothing," Setsuna replied, "The future is all black. Its rather undecided or..." She trailed off and frowned deeper, burrowing her eyebrows.
"Or what?" Serena asked, dreading the answer. Her hands were in a tight fist that her knuckles were white.
"Or its just that everything got destroyed..." answered Setsuna, "The future of the Sailor Scouts are cloudy and with much darkness. There is nothing more I can do. The walls for the different demensions and time has weakened since Darien's death. You have one spot empty in your court-"
"What'd you mean by one empty spot in my court?" Serena asked with a burrowed eyebrow.
Setsuna sighed, "Darien was one person protecting you, like the rest of the Sailor Scouts. But now, Darien is no more, you, and the scouts, are unprotected from one side...you'll need a replacement, one more soldier to fill-"
"NO!" Serena shouted. Both Hotaru, Setsuna and some people around jumped at the sudden outburst The whole arcade went silent, the only thing that can be heard was the game sound for, "Lost. Game Over." as everyone stared at her.
"He can NEVER be replaced!!" Serena breathed, putting her hands to her ears, "NEVER! Not Darien...not him!"
She suddenly turned on her heals, her blond pigtails whipping people nearby. She sprinted for the door, knocking people down on the way and ran out into the street. Her face streaming with freshly fallen tears as she ran down the street. There was suddenly a frightentining loud screech of brakes and a scream. Setsuna gasped, knowing what had happened. With Hotaru by her side, they ran out and saw Serena laying unconscious in front of a tanned car. The owner of the car, an elderly woman with graying hair, came out, looking horrificly down at Serena, whose tearful face was now joined by the red blood that flowed down from her forehead.
"Oh dear..."
Setsuna and Hotaru ran to Serena and kneeled down by her as other people sourronded the scene.
"Serena!" Hotaru cried, "No, not her..."
2 Days Later:
"She's in a coma..." Doctor Prewett informed the worried Tsukino family and her friends, "It might take a week for her to revive. But she'll survive.''
"Oh good," said the tear-logged mother, "I just can't stand losing her after she's been so sad..."
"Can we go see her?" asked Mina. The doctor nodded.
"Yes you can, but I have to tell you that she won't be in the condition to hear you...'' Doctor Prewett said, "Room 145."
"I'll take them papa!" piped a squeky voice. A little girl, about Hotaru's age, with lively brown eyes and cute flaming red springy and curly hair reaching her shoulders ran in front of them.
"I can take them to her room," she said, "Please papa, can I? Please!?"
"Alright you can, Mr. and Mrs. Tsukino, this is my youngest daughter Rillele. She will be taking you to Ms. Tsukino's room." the Doctor informed, "I need to be taking care of another patient.
"Of course," said Mr. Tsukino nodding.
"Come this way," Rillele squeked hyperly as she led them to a hallway on their left. She stopped and looked back at them, her large brown eyes glittering innocently in the hospital light. Then, she sprinted back to Hotaru.
"Hello," she greeted, "I've seen you at school, you're always alone aren't you?" Hotaru nodded feebly, her pale face going pink with shyness.
"You won't be alone anymore now..." Rillele assured her, "You can call me Ril or Llele, whats your name?"
"Hotaru," Hotaru replied quietly.
"Ah..." said Rillele nodding her head, "Okay.This is the room." She stopped in front of the door labeled, 'Room 145.' She opened the door slowly and let them in.
The room inside was dark and gloomy, dimly litted by the little ray of sunshine that sneaked through the closed blinds. The only sound that can be heard was the heavy breathing of the oxygen mask and the contineous beeping of the heart moniter.
Serena laid on the bed, dressed in a soft blue patient uniform. Her chest rose and fell with the heavy breathing sound of the oxygen machine. Her golden blonde hair was spread loosely around her and her face was white, gaunt and lifeless. As if they had lost her to death already, she laid like a statue and looked paler then Hotaru.
"Oh my daughter..." Mrs. Tsukino gasped as she started sobbing. She touched Serena's deathly pale face gingerly and started crying as a mother should. She put her face by Serena's, tears streaming down her face for her daughter. The mother's cries made the room more gloomier and grimer then it already was. It would've made the most cold-hearted person cry or shed even a few tears. But...Except one.
