Chapter 5 - Unexpected Surprises

Two weeks had passed since the wedding, and William and Lita were due home.

"Why isn't Serena coming with us?" Mina questioned.

"Because she and Darien have a doctor's appointment. If you're to ask about Raye she's sick." Amy spoke getting in her car.

"Oh, okay!" Mina spoke returning to her normal cheery self.

.:~*~:..:~*~:.:~*~:..:~*~:.

"Flight 2875, from Aruba, now landing at gate 34," was announced over the intercom.

"Oh, I can't wait to see them again. It's been a very long two weeks," Trista spoke anxiously. As soon as she finished speaking, Lita and William walked though the gate.

"Lita!!" Hotaru yelled running towards them.

"Hotaru!" Lita replied, letting her jump into her arms.

"I've missed you, so much! No one wanted to help me cook!" Hotaru complained.

"And I have missed you as well. Actually, I missed everyone," Lita said as she walked up to the rest of the group.

"I have a suggestion. Well could all go out tonight and they can tell us all about their trip then," Michelle voiced.

"Great idea," William replied.

.:~*~:..:~*~:.:~*~:..:~*~:.

Everyone caught up on the past two weeks and had a great time at dinner. When desert came, Serena and Darien decided to make their news known.

"Can I have everyone's attention, please?" Serena spoke; you could hear the nervousness in her voice. All turned and looked at her. "As you all should know, Darien and I had a doctor's appointment today," she paused. "We've found out, that we're pregnant!"

"First, I get married, and now you're pregnant!! How much more good news are we going to have?" Lita spoke.

I just hope this good mood lasts for a while. Amy thought to herself.

Luna went up and down the row of bookcases end to end, "Where is the key?" She had read through many a book to find what the ancient book was trying to tell her. Finally, she sat down exhausted, and then a glimmer in the corner of her eye caught her attention.

A particular book was glowing upon the shelf on which it sat. As Luna pulled out the book, she noticed it was Queen Selenity's journal. She took it back to her room before anyone noticed.

Luna had to figure out the meaning of the ancient book.

.:~*~:..:~*~:..:~*~:..:~*~:.

Lita dropped her house keys on the table then headed to the bedroom.

"Don't walk away from me like this. I want to talk to you about Raye," William called to her.

"What's your problem with her anyway? It's not like she chased after you with a meat cleaver," she snapped back, undressing.

"Well, I'm sorry. I feel as if she's holding a grunge against you,"

"Really? What makes you think that? She's one of my best friends for crying out loud,"

"Well for one where the hell was she during our reception, where was she when we landed today, and why did she keep glaring at us all through dinner?"

" I don't know, but I'm not going to question her loyalty to me after all these years, end of discussion," she yelled shutting the bathroom door in his face.

.:~*~:..:~*~:..:~*~:..:~*~:.

I hope Lita gets here soon. She's never going to get into a company at this rate. Ophelia thought to herself.

"I am so sorry I'm late. I got in to an argument with William. Can I go ahead and warm up, I see that you already are," Lita said.

"I'll do it again with you,"

"Thank you,"

.:~*~:..:~*~:..:~*~:..:~*~:.

"Let's start with arms crossed in front of our chests, right leg straight, and behind the left, into arms above our heads, still crossed, then down, straight out and into a side jump, and en pointe turn, ending en pointe. Got it?" Ophelia instructed.

"Yea," Lita replied.

The music started and both danced the small amount of choreography when, Luna walked in the door. "I'm very sorry I have to stop ballet class today, but I need to talk to you two. It's important," she spoke with concern in her voice.

.:~*~:..:~*~:..:~*~:..:~*~:.

"Would you two sit down, this news may be shocking," Luna said. "I found Queen Selenity's journal from the Silver Millennium. In her journal she predicted that a war, if you'd like, would break out between two of the scouts. The scout on the side of good would be a newly-wed and the only one who could handle everything that would come her way. I took that as it would be you, Lita. The scout for evil would be the loneliest and the scout of war," she paused. "It's Raye. Ophelia I brought you in on these talks because you are Lita's protector. It may seem as if she doesn't need one, but now she's more fragile than ever. Lita while you were on your honeymoon, we had a monster appear on another planet and we went to destroy it. Everything went okay, but Mars' suit was changing. Her skirt started to show black. Now, it's getting late, go home and prepare for what may come."
