Chapter 2
--------------------------------
"SO what did you think about my dad."
RIni, looked at her friend, not knowing what to say.
Sarah laughed.
"I know, he's like that with everyone but me and my mum."
"WHere's your mum?"
"Oh, well, you see, my mum died when I was younger,.. and well its
just me and my dad now."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It was a long time ago don't worry, but I still remember her. YOu know,
how she smelt, how she looked. My dad has a photo of her, she was so
beautiful but no brains, according to my dad." said SArah laughing.
RIni looked at SArah, her eyes sad. It was suprising how much they looked
alike she thought. She felt a sadness inside her. She was going to change
this really nice girl's life into a misery all because of destiny. Just as
her mother had not wanted to accept her destiny she knew that this girl
would not either. She wished that Luna and Artemis were there, they always
knew how to do this. SHe just didn't know what it all meant.
"Wuoo! Earth to RIni."
"Oh SOrry SArah."
"Well, I just said, while you were zoning out, that we should start at the
town center."
"OK."
"Come on Rini." said SArah laughing as she ran on ahead of her.
****************************************************************************
"Pluto, where is my daughter?" said Queen Serenity impatiently.
"I am sorry your higness, I have not been able to locate her or any of the
senshi. It is almost as if they are no longer within my time, but that is
impossible." replied Pluto bowing down on one knee.
"Pluto, stand up. Tell me what you mean." said Serenity, her face paling.
"I can no longer feel their life force, their energy, it is almost as if..
but no."
"Pluto, you can't mean that they are dead" said King Endymion his face lined
with worry.
"No, I would know if their bodies had died, you see, one of us can acutally
die, we are just reborn. No what I mean is that it is almost as if they never
existed, as if they are not within my time."
Queen Serenity ran out of the room. SHe ran into the room where the silver
crystal was kept and held it in her lap.
"No, no. It can't be. It's all my fault. WHy didn't I realize. It's all my
fault." she kept repeating as she rocked back and forth the crystal
cradled in her lap.
"What's all your fault? Tell me how it is your fault?" said Endymion
suprise and anger in his voice.
***************************************
It had been 2 weeks since Sarah had first met Rini and she had got to know
her. SHe spent most of her time with her, much to her father's annoyance.
Hiiro did not like this new girl. There was something about her that
unnerved him, she was hiding something, he could feel it. He still had not
told Sarah about the reunion with his old friends and he had decided just to
let her find out the hard way.
THey were due to be coming that day. Quatre, Trowa and Wufei were staying
in a rented house or hotel somewhere on the colony. He was annoyed to find
that Duo and his two children would have to stay with him as they had not
been able to find a place. This was going to be a very long two weeks.
**************
Sarah left her english lesson and left to find that her friends were waiting
or her outside.
"Hi guys, I've got to go, I'm meeting with rini this lunchtime." she said
Smiling.
"that's the problem Sarah, you're spending all of your time with RIni these
days."
Sarah's smile left her face and it was quickly replaced by a frown.
"I don't know what you mean guys."
"SArah, do you still want to be friends with us."
"Yeah Sarah, it's either Rini or us. YOu choose."
Sarah was getting really annoyed. How could these people do this to her.
SHe had introduced Rini to them and they had made absolutely no effort to
get to know her, they had taken an immediate dislike.
"You know, if you had tried to be nice to her, we could all be friends. But
you just immediately ignored her." replied Sarah, her voice rising with anger.
"Sarah, we've told you. It's either us or her."
"Well, if you're going to be that way, I have to choose Rini. SHe's been
way nicer to me than any of you have been." Sarah left them standing there
staring at her. SHe felt so sad. Why didn't people just understand that
she and Rini were just good friends. Why didn't her friends, her dad
understand that she had finally found a friend who understood her.
SHe couldn't stay here this afternoon, she as going to go home. Sarah ran
towards the door and out to freedom. The people around her were givng her
strange looks, maybe it was because she was crying, she just didn't care.
Sarah ran all the way back home, the run had refreshed her and she slowed
down as she approached her house. WHy had she over reacted? WHy hadn't she
just stayed at school and showed those people that she didn't care? Why
didn't she, she really didn't care about them, she was just upset by the way
that they had talked about Rini. SHe knew what they all thought about her.
Why didn't they just understand that she had Rini had a special bond, she
didn't know what, but she just felt that she and Rini were connected in some
way.
Sarah was suprised to find her father's car in their driveway and she was
even more suprised to see another car parked outside their house.
No one ever visited them, unless they wanted to get in serious trouble with
her dad.
Well, she was just going to have to be very quiet when she entered the house
she didn't want her dad to know that she had skipped school.
Sarah slowly turned the key in the lock and pushed the door open a bit and
tried to step in quietly.
SHe was suprised to hear voices, there was on mans, a voice that sounded
familiar, her dad's and in the background she heard what sounded like
two teenagers arguing.
A person stormed out of the kitchen right into the hall way where Sarah was
standing. It was too late for her to hide.
It was a boy, he looked a bit older than her. He had brown hair and looked
at her in suprise.
"Uh dad." said the boy, "dad, there's someone out here."
SArah heard chairs in the kitched being scraped back and she saw her dad walk
out followed by another man with long brown hair that was done up in a braid.
"Sarah!" exclaimed Hiiro. He was taking in her annoyed look and her tear-
stained face.
"Sarah, what are you doing here, you're meant to be at school." said Hiiro
his voice and expression turning strict.
"I.. I could ask you the same question. YOu're meant to be at work." yelled
Sarah before she ran up to her room.
DUo stood scratching his head muttering something about 'teenagers'.
Hiiro looked up the stairs and quickly followed his daughter.
Hiiro knocked on his daughters door.
"GO away," yelled Sarah.
"No."
Steps were heard as Sarah went to the door and unlkocked it. Hiiro entered
the room and saw that Sarah had been crying again.
"What do you want." was all that Sarah said as she stood, looking defiantely
at her father.
"What's wrong Sarah?" said Hiiro his face full of concern.
Sarah's face crumpled up as she started to cry.
"It's everything. THey're all being mean to me at school. They don't
understand," Hiiro approached Sarah and hugged her, "at what makes it worse
is that I come home and find three strangers in my house who have to see me
look like this."
Hiiro held his daughter until her tears had subsided and he sat her down on
the bed where he sat down next to her.
"Sarah, about school, I'll write a note and say you were sick or something,
but they're not strangers. You've known them since you were really small.
THey're my friends, well, Duo annoys the hell out of me, but I've known him
for ages, and well his children had to come too."
Sarah looked at her dad, "Uncle Duo, but he was bigger and his son was a real
pain, always pulling my hair and his daughter only interested in dolls. I
can't believe it's them."
"Sarah it's them and at the moment they think that you're some kind of over
emotional freak. I'll go down and talk to them. YOu stay up here and come
down if you feel OK. I'll bring you up some food."
SArah just looked at her dad and nodded. He was so different with her, when
he was around other people he acted so different.
**************************************
"So, Serenity, you know where we're going." said Endymion, his voice had a
strange new distance from her.
"Yes, I know where they are." she replied, her voice with obvious sadness
her head bowed.
SHe lifted up the silver crystal and they all disappeared.
-----------------------
Well I really don't know how I'm going to do this. I know where I want to get
but I don't want it to sound absolute rubbish.
If you think that it is bad write to me and complain and I will try to change
it.
Thanx if you have been reading and waiting.

RIni, looked at her friend, not knowing what to say.
