"No, no, NO!," Serena screamed at the top of her throat. She was breathing heavily as her eyes opened and she sat up to brace her weak arms. Supporting her stiff body against the head stand, her hands spread across the bed. The gundam wing boys... were dead. A sniffle barely got out before she buried her head into her pillow to soak all the tears.
Notified by the noise, Raye raced to the guest room and pulled open the paper door. She felt instant pity and without demanding an answer to why Serena was crying so hard, she sat on the bed and wrapped her arms around the shaking body. "Shhhh, it's gonna be alright. Shhhh."
"No, it's not! I failed, Raye! I FAILED! I killed them!"
She didn't know what had happened to the traumatized Serena. Raye had just found an unconscious Serena on the doorsteps of her grandfather's temple- like some abandoned baby. All her friends and family had been worried for the blonde. She had been missing for long, agonizing days. No one knew what had happened to her and even the police were notified. You'd never imagine how many people were concerned about Serena.
The only thing that was with Serena beside the clothes she was wearing was a note telling Raye to call a sailor scout meeting. She had recently called all the girls and they were due any second now.
Speaking of which..."Raye, your friends are here!," her grandfather exclaimed loudly. The perfect host, he ushered the set of people into the room. He quickly left to leave them to their privacy. 'Serena's parents must be worried sick,' he thought sadly. He wondered if his granddaughter had been able to reach her folks yet.
"Serena," they called in unison.
"Awwww, don't cry."
"Whatever it is, we still love you."
"We were so worried about you!"
They each greeted Serena cheerfully. Even seeing her cry did not diminish the happiness in discovering that their dear friend was all right.
Darien stood beside the drawer, quiet. The relief in the fact that the mother of his future daughter was all right invoked the silence. He never really understood how big a part of his life revolved around Serena until these past few days. His words were the simplest yet also the most touching. "Please don't leave me again."
Serena looked up with her blood-shot blue eyes. "You're the one who left me. You cheated on me with the purple chick!"
"Huh?"
Dumbfounded, Serena allowed the tension to grow in the room. 'Was Darien just lying or did he truly not remember anything?,' she wondered.
"You know I love you more than anything else in the world. God knows how many times I've told you that!," stated Darien. He would never back-stab anybody unless he didn't have any other options. It was public knowledge.
When Serena still didn't say anything, he walked towards the bed and bent down to kiss his darling on the forehead. "That's your love for me. And this..." Darien enveloped Serena into his arms tightly. If he held her any harder, she would suffocate. Ignoring everyone else in the room, his lips seeked her slightly pouted ones. At first, her mouth remained limp and unmoving. However, when Darien persisted his expert kissing, she gave into the passion of the moment. The embrace was sweet, luscious, zealous... it was perfect. With a groan, he managed to find the energy to release Serena.
"And that, my honey buns, is my love for you."
A sigh erupted from Lita. "That was so romantic. I wish my old boyfriends were like that!"
Serena teasingly smiled at her. "Too bad cause this one's MINE!" She turned to Darien and smiled wider. "Nuh uh! I love YOU more." The couple flirted like this back and forth a bunch of times until the scouts were a little annoyed at the fact that Darien didn't have clones of himself.
Mina finally had enough of the green monster called jealousy and she expressed it by rolling her eyes. "Alrighty then. What happened to you???"
Serena briskly sobered up. She tried her best to explain the story but there were a lot of things she didn't understand.
Obviously used to their leader's lack of detail, the scouts managed to piece together the story. "So, Darien cheated on you. You went into vortex and went to a different dimension where you met gundam wings. They became your friends only to become sacrificed for the future generations?," Amy asked skeptically.
"Ya, that's about right," Serena whispered sadly. The boys would always be a part of her memory forever. They had been the heros of their time and they were all but forgotten. It made her wonder whether anybody would recall the scouts and all their battles later on in life.
There was a knock on the door. Raye shouted out, "We're busy!" When there weren't any footsteps leaving the room, the clutched fists at her sides promised danger for anybody on the other side of the door. She practically ripped open the door and yelled, "What..." Raye trailed off when she noticed nobody was there. However, there WAS something on the ground. 'How'd they get inside the temple,' she briefly wondered.
Puzzled, she picked up a bulky white envelope and opened it. Inside laid the glowing imperium silver crystal. That wasn't what freaked her out though. She stared at what else was laying on the ground before facing everybody again. There, on the floor, was a pair of black crystal earrings and a single red rose with its pedals picked off and strategically placed around the stem...
