The Lord who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and lead us not into temptation. Forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. -The Lord's Prayer

Two Days later...(I think ^_^')

Okay, I am either paranoid or pessimistic. Nothing has happened so far, but that doesn't mean it won't. I'm still kind of cautious, but not as much. Some things have been going bad. We found out that the guys were going back to Earth for a while, then coming back for about a month. Serenity has been balling her eyes out since we were told, two days ago.

My world seems to be going in a downward spiral. Jadeite said that nothing bad would happen, ha! Boy was he wrong. I guess that my vision was forgotten by all, except me. I felt the dread in the pit of my stomach grow and grow as the day approached on swift wings. And before I knew it...

1 Week and Three Days Later...

"I don't want you to go, Endy. I'll be so very alone." Serenity sobbed into his shoulder.

"You won't be for long, darling. I'll be back before you know it." he tried reassuring her, but to no avail.

"Why didn't you tell me before, huh?" I asked, jabbing my finger into Jadeite's ribs.

"C'mon, Rei. We've been over this a thousand times! (Hyperbole) How many times do I have to tell you that I was GOING to tell you right before Serenity came in." He defended himself, AGAIN. (Poor guy. I'm awful to him aren't I? You should se what I have in store for him later. Hehehehe.)

Many more wails and shouts of fury erupted from each member of this party before their departure. After their sad good-bye, chaos let loose. (It was worse than the Chaos that they face in the future. Books 1-3 of the Stars season of manga.)

Two Days Later...



"I miss him SO much!" Serenity complained for the 12 time that hour.

"Ren, this is our history class. What's this have to do with Endymion?" Ami (Long time no see, Ames!) asked, setting her book aside in what seemed like total defeat. Maybe she finally gave up trying to teach us today.



"We're studying Earth." She explained.

Amy slowly took off her glasses and stared at Serenity. "Have you even been paying any attention in my class? We were talking about all of the battles fought to try to get through the Gates of Time on PLUTO, not Earth!"

"Oh."

"Y'all, I give up. None of you, including myself, are really focused on the lesson. How 'bout we call it a day, hm?"

Little more was said. We exited the room with little intention of going back in for at least a week. Each day seemed to be harder and harder to endure without mentioning the guys' names. If you did, you launched Serenity into a crying fit, and had fountains of tears spilling out of her eyes. (Literally, I've seen it) the rest of us would go into silent mode and secretly think about our true loves.



I never mentioned my vision again, probably because the queen was the only one who knew what it was about, and I couldn't tell the girls now. In my own way, each day is harder to get through all right. I fear the day when they come back. The visions have been coming steadily for a week, before they left. I don't want to see the result.

"Rei, how much do you miss Jadeite?" Serenity asked, looking completely vulnerable at the moment. It was a question so out of the blue, that at first, I was taken aback.

"Too much. I miss him too much. I don't know if I can stand this any longer, and it's only been two days!" I answered truthfully.

"Me too. How long do you think they'll be gone?"

Serenity was now looking at the floor in dismay. From what I could see, anyway, since I saw only the side of her face. For some reason, I wanted the men to be gone longer than she did.

'I need time to scry and find out who all that dream affects. I don't want any one else to die.'

"Rei? Did you hear my question?"

"I heard. But, I have no idea when they'll be back. I just hope they're there long enough to fix what's happening on Earth." The shocked look on her face when her head shot up proved to me that I had stepped over the boundaries.

"Rei," her voice was so sad and broken, and I saw tears welling up in her eyes. "How can you say that, Rei? I need him! I need him here! Now!"

Guilt seemed to overwhelm me when she took off running, down the hall, in the opposite direction of me. What she said was right. "I need him! I need him here! Now!" The same went for me as well. I needed Jadeite, even though I know perfectly well what will happen when he gets back.

Three Months, 13 Days, and Seven Hours Later...

Drones. That's what we've become; drones. Get up get dressed, eat, school, eat, training, eat, and then sleep. That's what we've been like, until today. News broke out across the land-okay, palace-that the prince and his gang-ahem, guards-are coming back. Tomorrow. You know what that means?

"Bye-bye life." I muttered under my breath as the other girls were laughing or crying, and some were even laughing AND crying at the same time! Well, except for me.

"Rei, isn't this great? They're coming back tomorrow. They're coming back tomorrow. Lalalalalala." Minako sang.

"Can't wait. By the way, Ren, what time did you r mother say they were coming?" I asked. All activity stopped as everyone watched Serenity think deeply, her forehead wrinkled in concentration. 'Add to my list of assets: I can create a lull in the room.'

"Um, I can't remember. I'll go ask." She jumped up and sped out the door before anyone of us could blink.

"Woah. That's fast." Minako commented.

"I never knew she could move so fast." Makoto piped up.

"She surprises us all at one time or another." Ami added.

The Next Day... 10:53 P.M.

It was seven minutes until the men returned, and the whole place was in an uproar. None went to bed, although Serenity was almost asleep standing up.

"Today has been so tiring." She complained.

"And hectic." I muttered.

"And long. REALLY LONG." Minako yawned.

"Cut it out, guys. It's almost time." Ami ordered from behind yet another book.

"Yes, Mother." Makoto emphasized the word "mother" which egged Ami on farther.

"And stop complaining, young lady. If you don't want to be here, go up to your room."

"No complaints here." Makoto turned on her heal and started towards the door, until the blinding light from the teleport stopped her.

"Hallelujah. After this we can go get some much needed shut-eye." I said, as the light started disappearing.

"What a baby. I didn't know you changed so much, Rei." Jadeite teased, making a beeline for me.

"Shut-up moron. And, why are you so cheery? It's too late to be this happy."

"It's not that late, is it?" he placed a kiss on my cheek. "You up to talking?"

"Jed, I'm hardly even up. But, yeah, I'll talk."

~~~A Few Minutes Later-Rei's Rooms

"What'd you want to talk about?" I asked, seating myself comfortably on my bed while Jed sat in a chair across me.

"How have your visions been? You still freaked out?"

"They've been the same, but you don't know how glad I am to see you normal. I was kind of dreading seeing you." I admitted weakly.

"Because you thought I'd be evil? Rei, I will avoid anything that wants me to convert to Beryl. I promise you." He said, moving to sit beside me.

"Even if she threatens you with my life?"

I could tell by the look on his face that this was a hard decision. "Even if she does that. I want to protect you; not kill you. Do you understand?"

He reached up and gently stroked my cheek. "Yes, I understand. And I'm not even going to start on my what-if list. What else did you want to talk about?"

He shifted a little uneasily. "Rei, can I ask you to do something for me?"

"Yeah, sure. What is it?"

"Will you marry me?" he looked up a little uncertain and took my hand in his.

"What are you, daft?!" he drooped his head and loosened his fingers, but I held on tightly. "Of course I'll marry you, you idiot."

The look he gave me was worth seeing. Shock, disbelief, love, and annoyance all were mixed on his face. "I've missed you, babe. You haven't changed." He bent his head and placed a lingering feather-soft kiss on my lips.

We will be able to face anything that will come our way. Love conquers all.
