"Hello!!!!! WE'RE DOWN HERE! IN THE ELEVATOR!" Serena banged the door as hard as she could.
GRUMBR...
"What was that?" Darien asked.
"Oh, I haven't eaten for two days." She stared at the five empty bottles of water. They had found it in a compartment near the buttons. "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY" it read.
"When are we ever going to get out of here?" Serena whined.
"By that time, we'd be old and crippled," Darien replied, annoyed. Serena has been bugging him for the first time since they've been stuck.
"I'm tired to be arguing with you." Serena noted.
"Hey, I'm just reassuring you. But it is true. We've been stuck here for a day and we still haven't found a way out. Maybe it wasn't a power outage after all," Darien raised his hands in mock reply.
"You know, I've had it with your sick and tiring 'jokes'. Can you just give me some peace and quiet and let me think?" Serena complained.
Darien raised his hands in a form of surrending. "Be my guest, but I don't think you're supposed to tell me this, you've been shrieking for nearly and hour and I can hear my ears ringing right now."
"Look, just shut up, ok? Just shut, up!" Serena cried.
"See what I mean?" Darien said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Andrew and Rita was telling the crewman practically to stop going on lunch breaks.
"Lives are in that elevator!" Rita cried.
"Rita! Rita! Take a hold of yourself!" Andrew drew Rita back from hitting him.
"Look, lady, we have other things to do too, so just chill out, ok? It's just a power outage." a crewman replied.
"So how come it takes you a day to get it fixed?" Andrew asked. Then he was dumbfounded. Of course it took a day or two.
"Exactly." said the crewman, reading Andrews mind.
"Rita, let's just have breakfast, and leave the crewman alone." Andrew said, dragging the screaming Rita.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"HELP!!!!" Serena screamed till her voice was hoarse. BEEP...BEEP...BEEP!!!!
Serena desperately grabbed her thing what seemed like a cell phone. She opened it and stared at it.
'Why's Serena staring at the phone?' Darien thought. Serena talked, staring.
"Help!" Serena tried to cry out. Darien then heard a voice.
"S-Sailormoon? What happened? Where are you? Are you okay, Are you hurt?" it was Ami.
"Ami, help!" Serena tried to cry.
Darien grabbed the phone.
"DARIEN?! If you did anything to Ser-er, I mean, Sailormoon, and I mean ANYTHING, I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU DID! Wait! Darien, what are you doing there?" Ami asked.
"Look, me and Serena were fighting and we got trapped in the elevator. GET US OUT OF HERE!" Darien cried. "Wait, why are you not moving? And what kind of phone is this?!"
"Darien, look, it's hard to explain, #1- Serena is-" Ami started to explain.
"Look, I don't know what you're talking about, but I think everythings coming to mind..." Darien said, thinking. 'Wait I've always liked SailorMoon, but does that mean that my heart is setting for...SERENA?!' Darien thought confused.
"You mean to tell me that Serena, the meatball head, the one who keeps yelling, is SAILORMOON?!" Darien cried.
"Yes. I know it's hard to explain, but you'll see." Ami replied and hung up the phone.
'That was freaky,' Darien thought. He was more confused than ever. First of all, Serena is SailorMoon. second of all, his heart has been destined in liking this Sailormoon and finds out that he, Darien Chiba, is in love with his mortal enemy, SERENA? Impossible. Well, at least that's what he thought. He has considered Serena cute when she's angry. Hmm...
Darien was cut short through his thought when he heard a thump. He truned around to see Serena helplessly on the floor, unconscious.
"Serena!" Darien cried.
Her meatball head hair sprawled acrossly on the floor. Then Darien noticed something...something bright and shiny...
Then he could place it. A figure, coming out of Serena, with bright white light. "Darien..." it's voice echoed.
"W-who are you?" Darien asked, his voice, leaping to his throat.
"I'm Serenity, Serena's mother from the future. I am the Queen of the Moon. I can see that you've placed the pieces together about Serena's destiny."
"Yeah, either that or I've hit my head really hard," Darien replied, rubbing his head.
"But you also have a destiny...that is to be Tuxedo Mask. For your ancestor was once ruler of the Earth. His name is Endymion." She replied.
"Why are you here?" Darien asked
"To tell you that you and Serena are to be destined. Endymion and I are married for eternal life. We were destroyed by an evil ruler, Queen Beryl. At first there was no hope. But I used my crystal to enlock the evil and the future Serena and you, Darien, were to be sent back in time, during the 20th century and to have no memory of this. But now, the Sailor scouts are once reunited and are sworn to protect the galaxy. Now you are to protect the galaxy, and Serena for eternal life..." and with that, Serenity disappeared.
"What the hell just happened?!" Darien cried.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Andrew and Rita frantically chased the crewman up and down, crying, "SAVE THEM, SAVE THEM!"
The crewman, really, really, really annoyed, just sighed. "You people have to control you're temper. They're not dead, you know,"
"How do you know? For pete's sake, they could be unconscious right now and dying of thirst!" Rita snapped.
"I doubt it, ma'am, there's a compartment near the buttons and has five bottles of water. I don't think they'll die of thirst.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! Rita, Andrew, and the crewman turned around to see four beautiful girls knocking at the door.
Rita opened the door. She ran to one of them.
"Oh! Ami! It's all my fault!" Rita sobbed.
"Shh. It's okay. We called Serena and found out she was in the elevator with Darien." Ami replied, stroking Rita's hair.
Rita lifted her head. "W-what? sniffles You mean Serena has a phone and didn't call me?!" Rita replied, shocked. "All she could have done was call! I don't believe this! Thinknig that they were dead and Serena contacts you over the phone?!"
"Actually, the phone can only contact us. No outside people such as you." Ami replied.
Rei poked Ami in the ribs.
"Ow! What?" Ami asked, whispering loudly.
Rei pulled Ami to the side.
"You just told her that and now Rita thinks that she's not considered to be Serena's best friend!"
"Well, excuse me. I was just stating the facts. You think I listen when I talk? Jeesh." Ami replied, and joined the others.
Rita ran to Andrew. "Oh! Andrew!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After what took Darien practically five hours, he finally made sense of what Serenity said.
"Whoa. Ok. I think I get it." he peered at Serena who had just woken up.
"W-what happened?" Serena shook her head slowly and blinked her eyes several times.
"You fell unconscious." Darien replied, thinking.
"What are you doing?" Serena noticed Darien, holding her, and pushed him away.
"Uh..." Darien was speechless.
"Look, I don't know what you're doing, and I'm not wasting my time. I have to get out of here before something else happens," and with that she stood up.
She walked toward the elevator door. 'Screaming won't help,' Serena thought, recalling the previous night.
Darien just stared. He still couldn't get the facts straight. If Serenity is Serena's mother from the past, wouldn't that make her an orphan now? Wow! A coincidence! He chuckled.
Serena spun around.
"What are you laughing about?" She fixed her hair straight.
"N-nothing." Darien replied, chuckling again.
"What's so funny? Tell me!" she cried.
"Nothing. I was just thinking." Darien shrugged.
Serena just ignored him.
"You are so weird." she replied, backing away.
'Shit! We better get out of here before he becomes hallucinating!' Serena though
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rei and the others quickly ran up and down the steps hoping to find the elevator. They used their phones as 'walkie talkies'.
"You there, Mina?" Rei asked.
"Roger. Ami and I are on the second floor. Nope. No elevator."
"Gotcha." Rei replied.
"You got what?" Ami asked, hoping it was Serena.
"I didn't get anything. I was just replying to Mina." Rei replied.
"Oh..." Ami felt disappointed. It was noon and they still haven't found them.
"This is Lita speaking." the intercom broadcasted on Mina's phone.
"We're here. Watcha got?"
"Nothing. but we did find a..." there was a pause. Then there was static. Lita then was back on.
"We found an elevator that's empty, and it's working fine." Lita said.
"Well, do you think it's them? But they escaped?" Ami asked Mina.
"I doubt it. If they found a way, they'd be out right now." Mina replied, assuringly.
"But what if?" Ami started to ask.
"No what ifs. They're not there." Mina finished.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena just stared. Couldn't do anything but stare.
'What am I doing?' Serena thought. She shook her head. She couldn't keep staring in space forever. Then a thought came to her.....DARIEN!!!!!!!!!!!
'Now I've totally lost it,' Serena thought. But each time she closed her eyes, she kept thinking about him. About their little incident. 'Oh, I wish I haven't said that,'
Well at least she had time to think than just sit there without doing anything. She shrugged. What else was there to do? Trapped in an elevator with no way out was a problem. She screamed, but that didn't work. 'Why did I have to be so stupid?'
She stared at Darien again. He was staring back at her.
"What are you staring at?" she asked.
Darien snapped back to attention. "Huh? N-nothin'" he replied.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You find out anything?" Rei asked.
Mina shook her head. "What if they..." she couldn't even say it.
"No! They couldn't have!" Ami cried.
"Look, just calm down you guys," Rei replied, trying to calm herself down. 'Where are you meatball head?! If you get lost forever, you will be in major trouble!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"NO!" Serena angrily replied.
"Come, on Serena, you're gonna have to there's no other way!" Darien retorted.
"I AM NOT GOING TO CLIMB ON TOP OF YOU JUST TO GO THROUGH THE TOP! Who knows what on there? There could be rats!" Serena repled.
"Look, I know you save lives from monsters, but this is important!" Darien said, without thinking.
What?
"What? What are you talking about?" Serena replied, pretending he didn't know what he was saying.
"I know you're thinking that I'm crazy, but when you were unconscious, your cell phone, or what seemed like cell phone beeped and so I picked it up. There was Ami, explaining, or least trying to explain that you were SailorMoon, so don't try to hide it," Darien explained.
'Ami!'
"Then when I hang up, this bright light showed up, and a figure came in place. She looked just like you, only with purplish hair," Darien started to tell her things that she even couldn't believe.
"Wait, how can a spirit just come out of me?" Serena asked.
Darien shrugged, "Beats me."
"Well, then continue."Serena said, wanting to hear the rest of the story.
"I'd rather not," Darien flinched.
"Why? Anything I shouldn't know about?" Serena grinned smirking.
"It's just that, look, I know you don't believe me, but it's true. She said her name was Serenity."
'Hmm...nice name he made up,' Serena thought, thinking he was faking. 'He's probably telling the story 'cause he just wants to find a way of teasing me.'
"Serenity also said that she had a boyfriend, Endymion, the prince of the Earth. She also said that Endymion looked just like me," Darien's mouth was starting to dry.
"and that they were meant to be together, just like you and I," Darien held back on the last sentence.
Serena, not paying attention, payed attention to the last statement. Did he say that he liked me? Serena was about to throw up...
"Yeah, that's what I thought..." Darien replied as if reading her mind.
"Damn right I am!" Serena replied disgustedly.
"Ok, at least let me explain the facts," Darien blabbed on and on about what Serenity said.
'How long is this stupid conversation going to take?' Serena thought, cupping her hands aroung her chin, leaning on her lap.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Bingo!" Rei cried happily.
"What?" "What'de ya find?" "Where is she?!" the last question was asked by Ami and Rita together. They all were together now, finding Serena, oblivious to the fact that they were bored.
"I just won 100 bucks!" Rei replied.
"Huh?" Lita asked confused.
Mina just waved her hand. "She's playing that...whutcha you call it...oh, that Japan instant game..."
"Oh...." there were many groans and disappointments.
"This is hopeless! We'll never find them..." Ami replied, frustrated.
"Well, I'm getting some luch. You guys want any? It's on me." Amdrew asked.
"Sure. We'll just end up throwing up the rest of the food," Lita replied, bored out of her boredom.
"In that case, I'll buy my own." Andrew replied.
"Wait. I'll go with you." Rita stood up and linked arms with Andrew.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I still won't do it," Serena folded her arms.
"C'mon, Serena, I would do it, but there's no other choice!" Darien replied.
"Why me?"
"Believe me, I've asked myself that question way too many times."
"Whatever. Why can't you go?" Serena pouted
"Well, can you lift a 140 pound guy like me?"
"Ch, well, I guess I can't blame you on that answer." Serena groaned.
"Fine. I'll go. But if I die, YOU'RE coming WITH Me!" Serena replied.
"Well, lets get started!" Darien replied triumphantly.
He lifted her up so she could balance on his shoulders.
"Uh, man, how heavy are you?" Darien grunted.
"Just about 145. Guess I'm heavier than you, huh?" Serena smiled. This worked every time.
"Well, if you're dying, you're lucky. I'm dying right now! You there yet?"
"Not yet...Just...about...there!" Seren grinned happily. No rats.
Darien grinned also. Serena can finally get off his back!
Serena climbed through the top of the elevator.
BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...
"What's that?" Serena asked. Then she saw bright lights surrounding her.
"What the HELL is going on up there?!" Darien cursed, while covering his eyes from the bright light coming down.
'INTRUDER ALERT...INTRUDER ALERT...' the P.A. system said
"Oh, not now!" Serena cried and groaned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'INTRUDER ALERT...INTRUDER ALERT...'
"What intruder?" Ami sat up. She looked around her.
"I don't see anyone," Rei said.
"If it's us, we'll just have to tell Rita's brother to turn that thing off!" Mina angrily replied. The ringing was bugging her ears.
"What's going on?" "What intruder?" "Where?" all aroud the ship, alarms were going off.
"Now stay calm..." the captain tried to shut the damn thing off.
"What the &*#$in' hell is going on in this ship?!" the captain cursed himself and finally, the alarm was off. Then again...it caused to activate the weaponry alert system.
'YOU HAVE 600 SECONDS FOR EVACUATION BEFORE THE SHIP EXPLODES...YOU HAVE 600 SECONDS FOR EVACUATION'
All around the ship, people were screaming.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Did I hear right? THE SHIP'S GONNA BLOW?!" Serena shrieked.
Darien covered his ears. "SERENA! JUST SHUT UP!!!!!!!"
Serena stopped. She started to sob.
"I don't wanna die...."
"Look, Serena, contact the others on your phone."
Serena stopped.
"Right." She took out her phone and dialed Rei's number. 'Press 1 for message, Press 2 for--"
"It's not working!" She fumbled through everyone's phone. All of them were off.
"Just great! I'm going to die at the age of 14! Momma, Papa! Help your helpless dying daughter!" Serena started to wail.
'YOU HAVE 420 SECONDS FOR EVACTUATION. I ADVISE YOU TO EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY...'
"No!!!!!!!!! I don't wanna die!"
BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...
Serena noticed her phone ring.
"Hello? Whoever this is, please help us we're trapped--" Serena heard static...then silence...then...a voice came up.
"Ser-re-na...S-er-en-a..." the voice echoed...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wow! what a cliffhanger! What was that voice? And are Serena and Darien going to make it out alive? What about the others? I already have it all made out..so...wait for the next chapter on Shipmates!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Bingo!" Rei cried happily.
"What?" "What'de ya find?" "Where is she?!" the last question was asked by Ami and Rita together. They all were together now, finding Serena, oblivious to the fact that they were bored.
"I just won 100 bucks!" Rei replied.
"Huh?" Lita asked confused.
Mina just waved her hand. "She's playing that...whutcha you call it...oh, that Japan instant game..."
"Oh...." there were many groans and disappointments.
"This is hopeless! We'll never find them..." Ami replied, frustrated.
"Well, I'm getting some luch. You guys want any? It's on me." Amdrew asked.
"Sure. We'll just end up throwing up the rest of the food," Lita replied, bored out of her boredom.
"In that case, I'll buy my own." Andrew replied.
"Wait. I'll go with you." Rita stood up and linked arms with Andrew.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I still won't do it," Serena folded her arms.
"C'mon, Serena, I would do it, but there's no other choice!" Darien replied.
"Why me?"
"Believe me, I've asked myself that question way too many times."
"Whatever. Why can't you go?" Serena pouted
"Well, can you lift a 140 pound guy like me?"
"Ch, well, I guess I can't blame you on that answer." Serena groaned.
"Fine. I'll go. But if I die, YOU'RE coming WITH Me!" Serena replied.
"Well, lets get started!" Darien replied triumphantly.
He lifted her up so she could balance on his shoulders.
"Uh, man, how heavy are you?" Darien grunted.
"Just about 145. Guess I'm heavier than you, huh?" Serena smiled. This worked every time.
"Well, if you're dying, you're lucky. I'm dying right now! You there yet?"
"Not yet...Just...about...there!" Seren grinned happily. No rats.
Darien grinned also. Serena can finally get off his back!
Serena climbed through the top of the elevator.
BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...
"What's that?" Serena asked. Then she saw bright lights surrounding her.
"What the HELL is going on up there?!" Darien cursed, while covering his eyes from the bright light coming down.
'INTRUDER ALERT...INTRUDER ALERT...' the P.A. system said
"Oh, not now!" Serena cried and groaned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'INTRUDER ALERT...INTRUDER ALERT...'
"What intruder?" Ami sat up. She looked around her.
"I don't see anyone," Rei said.
"If it's us, we'll just have to tell Rita's brother to turn that thing off!" Mina angrily replied. The ringing was bugging her ears.
"What's going on?" "What intruder?" "Where?" all aroud the ship, alarms were going off.
"Now stay calm..." the captain tried to shut the damn thing off.
"What the &*#$in' hell is going on in this ship?!" the captain cursed himself and finally, the alarm was off. Then again...it caused to activate the weaponry alert system.
'YOU HAVE 600 SECONDS FOR EVACUATION BEFORE THE SHIP EXPLODES...YOU HAVE 600 SECONDS FOR EVACUATION'
All around the ship, people were screaming.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Did I hear right? THE SHIP'S GONNA BLOW?!" Serena shrieked.
Darien covered his ears. "SERENA! JUST SHUT UP!!!!!!!"
Serena stopped. She started to sob.
"I don't wanna die...."
"Look, Serena, contact the others on your phone."
Serena stopped.
"Right." She took out her phone and dialed Rei's number. 'Press 1 for message, Press 2 for--"
"It's not working!" She fumbled through everyone's phone. All of them were off.
"Just great! I'm going to die at the age of 14! Momma, Papa! Help your helpless dying daughter!" Serena started to wail.
'YOU HAVE 420 SECONDS FOR EVACTUATION. I ADVISE YOU TO EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY...'
"No!!!!!!!!! I don't wanna die!"
BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...
Serena noticed her phone ring.
"Hello? Whoever this is, please help us we're trapped--" Serena heard static...then silence...then...a voice came up.
"Ser-re-na...S-er-en-a..." the voice echoed...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wow! what a cliffhanger! What was that voice? And are Serena and Darien going to make it out alive? What about the others? I already have it all made out..so...wait for the next chapter on Shipmates!
