Nubius jumped a good foot in the air, so startled was he when it hit him. Frowning he s
settled a hand over his heart and waited for his breathing to return to normal. He carefully
went over the last five minutes trying to figure out what it was that he felt. He was
sleeping, here on the couch and then BAM!! he was awake. It was a cold lonely feeling
that reminded him of what his heart had felt when he was trapped under Procs spell. And
yet there was a twinge of sorrow and a need to help wrapped around it. Now what would
have caused that? His eyes fell on a picture of Serena and him in the park. Her bright eyes
shimmering with surpressed mirth and happiness. When it came again he clutched his head
it was an intense line, there was no real words just the feeling of abandonment. He opened
one eye keeping the other squinched, and again his gaze went to his nieces face. Serena, it
must be Serena that was sending this. but why, what had happened. He released his head
now that the pain was gone and stood up heading directly for the phone. He didn't know
what was going on but he sure as hell was going to find out.
Darien typed quickly on his computer his fingers flying over the keys. His intense ocean
eyes flew back and forth over the screen. "Damn." he muttered. He was trying to
concentrate on his work, it had to be done tomorrow or his grade would suffer in the
class. Instead of wholly concentrating on the work that had to be soon his mind kept
drifting to Serena. He had turned her photo down on the desk near the computer but still
he kept seeing her waving goodbye to him that day in the mall. And an eerie feeling was
dancing in the back of his mind. He came out of his reverie to see that a whole ten minutes
had passed by. Sighing he turned off his computer, it was useless. There was no way that
he
could stay focused on this. He decided to give Serena a call, she should be home by now.
Maybe by hearing her voice he could ease the nagging worry. He saw the upturned picture
and turned it rightside up so that her cheerful smile could add light to the room. Then he
frowned, shut his eyes, opened them, shut, open. It was still there the picture was not of
him and Serena anymore. It was just Serena, surrounded by black her eyes tear-filled and
pleading her hand outstretched beseeching him, and her lips were moving! She was trying
to tell him something but he couldn't understand. Frustrated he closed his eyes again and
then squinted to see if he could understand her words. Only the picture was back to
normal. Full blown panic ensued when he tried to catch her on his link and found that
there was nothing on her side. Jumping up her ran to the phone, now was definitely the
time to call Rae, there was something bad going on now and he was going to find out
what it was, NOW!
Reenies eyes flew open, her back coming up off the bed and a cry all ready out of her lips.
"Bam!" Her bedroom door slammed open.
"Small Lady!"
"Sweetheart?!"
Her parents raced in, her mom fastening her bathrobe and her dad wearing only a pair of
gray sweatpants.
"Honey, what happened," Her mom sat down on the bed and gathered Reenie into a hug.
The King, now seeing that there was no immediate danger raked his fingers through his jet
black hair and asked slowly,
" Was it a bad dream sweetie?" He sat down on the other side of the bed. Reenie could
only stare and catch her breath.
"Mommy, Serena, ..." She searched her mind and when trying to find the other girl could
nt. There was nothing, a void where a light should have been.
"Gone!' She gasped out. "What? honey, she can't be gone, she's just back in the 20th
century, remember your home now." The queen smiled thinking that it was just
disorientation that had caused her child's distress.
" No! I mean she's not here" Reenie pointed to her head looking at her dad to help explain.
The King looked puzzled and stared at Serenity for some help. The latter frowned
thoughtfully, her pink lips pursed slightly as she thought, then it hit her,..
"The link!' she shouted triumphantly. A huge question mark was written on the Kings face
until he to remembered. "Sweetheart do you mean that you no longer have a link with
her?"
Reenie nodded then shook her head in denial a second later . Serenity brushed soft pink
strands off of Reenies forehead and said.
" You'll have to help us out here Small Lady, we don't know what you mean." Reenie
thought in ward,
"I have a link, its just , it just.. leads to nothing." she whispered snuggling closer to her
mother. "I think we need to have a talk with Luna, We'll be back when we find out what's
going on O.K. ?" Serenity got up and kissed her daughters head,
"Until then try to get some sleep." Endymoin stood up and made to follow his wife out the
door but stopped and whispered
" We'll find her sweetie and I'll convince your mom to wake you up as soon as we do ."
With that he winked at her and strode from the room gently closing the door behind him.
Reenie snorted , very much like Serena used to do when she was young and got dressed
into jeans and a sweatshirt, reaching out to grab her broach and key necklace off the
dresser and she went about the room. (Sleep? I don't think so!) She was not going to
sleep, she was going to find out what was going on, her way.
( Pandemonium.) That was the only word that Luna could come up with to sum up what
she saw. And indeed it would be classified as just that, or else chaos. she lay next to
Artemis on the cushion in the corner of Reis temple. The four scouts, Serenity's court,
Darien, her boyfriend, and Nubius her uncle, were all talking at once, each one trying to
find out what it was exactly that happened. After a series of random phone calls , harried
ideas, varying stages of disbelief, and many, many, arguments they had all managed to
come to one universal idea, they knew nothing. Luna visualized herself with a giant sweat
drop on her forehead and sighed. All that was needed was about five more people and a
whole lot more yelling to classify it as a complete definition of pandemonium. And she told
her companion in watching, Artemis this. Seconds later when his paw hit her on the head
she was wishing that she had not said anything at all, let alone thought it. Because right after
Lita had shouted for silence,( apparently she too was getting tired of getting no where.)
and everyone had obeyed the loud order a pink mist had swirled around the air and
condensed into a figure of a young girl. When it all cleared there stood Reenie her mouth
already open and asking a mountain of questions. Then everyone was shouting again. A
screech of tires from outside drew everones silence again and in raced Setsuna, Haruka,
Micheru, and Hotaru. Rapidly firing questions soared through the air and any sense of
order there was disappeared from the room. Luna closed her eyes and sighed, Yep,
pandemonium.
