Chapter Three: Spring Flowers, Summer Suns
Amy's feet led her to Goodlet park. That's where she always went when she needed to think.
Today she needed to think. She needed to reflect on those dreams. Those terrible dreams. Visions of the Sailor Scouts falling one by one, eventually dying. She couldn't cope with that, not that on top of everything. And visions of her and Darien. HER AND DARIEN?
Amy stifled a laugh, it *was* laughable. Sure they had a lot of things in common, and sure he had the most amazing blue eye she had ever seen, and she admitted she had felt ...something for him before she had met Serena. But they were both meant to be together and it was obvious they cared for each other deeply.
It showed.
They were always kissing and calling each other pet names, at least that's what Serena did.
Darien usually stuffed his nose in books while everyone else was having fun.
Somewhat familiar to herself.
But their was just no way he could ever...love her. Nah.
Plus it wasn't relevant, she really didn't care. Really.
Darien was just a close friend and a comrade in battle, nothing more. But she still couldn't help a voice in the back of her mind wishing it were something more.
Amy stared out into the lake. Millions of lights shone upon the crystalline surface, reflecting the now appearing sun. The bright beams of light glistening on the water, like shadows when you walk at around noon on the sidewalk.
The delicate fragrance of the flowers that surrounded her wrapped itself around her senses. Flowers comforted her, they made her relax.
Amy bent down and picked up a red rose that was resting on a patch of grass.
She lifted it up to her nose to get a closer scent and giggled slightly at the sensation of the petals tickling her nose.
Amy suddenly remembered that Mercury rose a few minutes just before the moon faded in the daylight.
She stood up from the park bench had been sitting on. Carefully studying the sky, searching for her planet, seeking for Mercury, god of trade and travel.
Soon she spotted a small blue dot far off in the distance. "Mercury" she whispered, almost cheerfully. She felt a warmth enclose deep within her, all was right again.
