She awoke on another bed. Sounds of whispered comments were being retorted back and forth but Serena ignored them as she opened the brooch. After noting that the imperium silver crystal was back where it rightfully belonged, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Feeling someone touching her arm, she tore her attention away from the jewel. She smiled warily before remarking, "You look a lot better now Quatre." 'How strange, and I didn't even have to change into Sailor Moon and use the crystal either. At least I know that it wasn't my fault,' she thought afterwards.
"All thanks to you."
"Huh?"
Duo stalked to Serena's side. "We went back to normal after you got your crystal back."
"Huh?"
Relena was passing by the doorway but after noticing that Serena had woken up, entered the room. "Serena, you are in a lot of trouble. You purposely tried to make these boys and me disappear. Your punishment is undecided for now but be aware, it will not go unnoticed," she stated, walking directly towards the bed.
Serena opened her mouth wide in astonishment. "Huh?"
Wufei crossed his arms and stared sternly at the girl. "Is that all you can say?"
She gulped nervously and her eyes darted from one person to the next. "All I remember is fainting after getting my crystal back."
Trowa brushed back his wispy bangs and they sprang back to where they were before. "Yes, true, but we also 'mysteriously' unfaded after also. And that fact alone is all the evidence that we need against you."
The other girl turned to the gundam pilots. "And I just checked the news. Apparently, this 'fading' epidemic affected all the colonies also."
"Well, I don't know what to say." The blonde gundam pilot stared at Serena with blank eyes. "It's one thing to harm us but trying to hurt innocent civilians... well, that's just unacceptable."
Serena observed Quatre with her heart on her sleeve. "But I swear, I didn't mean to hurt anybody. If it was my fault, I didn't do it knowingly."
"Prove it." Her eyes swiftly met the Prussian blue ones. 'They're so much like Darien's...,' she thought unconsciously.
"H-h-how?," Serena stuttered. Heero shrugged and leaned against the wall.
She looked at her blanket wistfully. "I wish I had some sort of food. That always helps me think," she remarked to nobody in particular. At that exact moment, a servant happened to enter the room with a platter piled to the brim with delicious treats.
"The desserts have been made for Miss Tsukino, just as you ordered miss," the hired help told Relena, responding to the blank stares everybody was aiming at him.
Relena glanced at the desserts, and then at the servant. "I didn't order any."
He didn't know what to do. He sure didn't want to argue with the boss but he knew that Relena did in fact, order them half an hour ago. "Um... I'm pretty sure that you did though."
"Well you're wrong." She sighed and pointed at a drawer with her index finger. "Oh well, just put them there."
"Uh..." Serena looked at the desserts. She then turned her eyes to meet Relena's. Hopefully, she had gotten the message. 'How can you be hungry at a time like this? You're about to be punished for something you didn't do and your boyfriend for zillions of years just cheated on you.' "But that was like hours ago... maybe you're right. I shouldn't be eating at a time like this."
A unanimous "Huh?" echoed through the room. Serena had accidentally spoken her thoughts out loud.
"Oh uh... nothing?" The occupants in the room sweatdropped.
The hired help left the room and Relena gestured to the desserts. "Would you like any?" No matter what Serena had done to them, she was still the immaculate hostess with the impeccable manners.
"Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. Um, maybe?," whispered Serena as her stomach grumbled. She blushed and hid her crimson head in her hands.
Relena just raised her eyebrows and grabbed a piece of a cheesecake before handing it to the anxious blonde. "Your yes's outnumbered your no's"
Serena immediately grabbed it in her outstretched hands and took her first bite. It was slow and it was more of a nibble than anything else. After that however, the process became faster and faster until she finished it in another four bites. "That was," Serena licked her fingers, "absolutely delicious."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had taken over 9 hours but she had finally found where the black vortex should have taken the girl that Prince Diamond seemed so taken with. Ignelia stood there, her purple hair tamed and her violet eyes momentarily glazed over. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she observed the 3- dimensional picture of Serena and the gang of other useless humans. She followed their every word until she had a plan.
Transforming into Amy, she jumped into the picture. Ingelia still remembered what her prince had told her. "Nicely done but it was suspicious when you acted so emotionless." Oh no, that was not nicely done at all. Perfection was nicely done, anything else wasn't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
She bowed her head to hide the satisfaction that Serena had gotten from the cheesecake. Suddenly, she had a thought and she lifted her head again. "If I DID want to harm you guys and make you disappear, then why did I relinquish everything by telling the truth? I could have just said I would make you better, gone against my word after getting the crystal back and then just pretended it didn't work after all."
"Now that you've reminded us, WHAT didn't work? If this wasn't what you had in mind when you told us that you could try to make us better, than what was?," asked Duo relentlessly.
"Well, uh..." Serena murmured, at a loss of words. "Oh look, a flying girl," she pointed at Amy. 'Perfect, a distraction, just what I need. Hey, wait a second...' "Oh my god! Amy! It's really you!" She jumped out of bed and went to hug her friend that had just landed on the floor. 'Another person to do all the worrying for me,' she thought happily. Serena gently pushed her friend away and cocked her head to the side. "How did you get here and where are the others?"
Amy smiled and she looked at each of the gundam boys and Relena before whispering in Serena's ear. "Well, you left your communicator at Raye's and I was trying to give it back to you but you just run so fast! I heard some noise in the alley so I communicated back to the scouts. By the time I was finished talking to them, you had already disappeared. We decided to talk to the guardian of time and she directed me to you. Sailor Pluto would have transported all the scouts but she said that would have disturbed the time line too much." Ingelia couldn't believe her good luck. Prince Diamond had told her the complete story and it was coming in handy.
Serena nodded and accepted Amy's story heartily. She was too glad for the presence of one of her best friends to question it too much. 'It' being stuff like anything and anybody would disturb the time line a lot, no matter the quantity of people.
Relena frowned and she wrinkled her nose in distaste. "Why are you all appearing out of nowhere?"
