~~~~ Bad News ~~~~

Serena walked nervously towards Mina and Raye. Mina had a sheer look of horror on her face and Raye seemed to share her feelings.

"Can we come in please?" Raye questioned shakily, "We have some bad news that might take a while to explain,"

Serena and her visitors quietly entered the living room and each occupied an empty seat,

"You see.. Well.." started Raye, At this point a million thoughts were rushing through Serena's head and she could feel tension rising inside her.

" The temple caught fire last nigh-" she managed to mumble before releasing a huge wave of tears, unfortunately Serena heard every bit of it and felt like doing the same.

"How?" she whispered

"I don't know!" stuttered Raye, "It was just a few places that got damaged, so it could be fixed. I just think it was the shock of the whole thing," she answered

They spent the next few hours comforting each other and by the time they were done they had somehow managed to use a whole box of tissues. In the end Mina concluded that it could all be fixed over time so they should start making plans for the day ahead.

Serena was in favour of going to the mall to by some clothes for the upcoming dance that Darien had asked her to.

"I agree!" Mina cried, "I could use with a new dress myself," she explained pointing to the tear stained dress she was wearing. Raye knew better than to argue with the pair of them when they set their mind on something and happily decided to come to.

"This one looks lovely!" Serena sighed as she picked up a long velvet dress and eyed it carefully. This would be perfect for the Town Dance she decided and made her way to the counter.

The friends later came out with large bags in hand and staggering slightly under their weight.

"Your right guys," Raye finally admitted, "It will be ok, I mean what the odds of it happening again anyway?" she said cheerily.

With that they each went home feeling a great deal happier than they did before.

Serena tried on her new dress and felt deeply satisfied,

"Wait until Darien sees this at the dance!" she giggled excitedly

*Authors Notes* Hope it was worth waiting for! ^_^ Keep reviewing! I'm also sorry to Raye fans if this chapter offended them but I put that in to make it more exciting! Thanks for reading! (Oh and I'm pretty sure you guys can make your own happy ending! ^_~)
