*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Darien was partaking in his evening ritual of coffee, studying and thinking of Serena when he felt the tug at his chest that meant Sailor Moon had just transformed. Using the bond he and Serena shared, he discovered the attack was at the park. He tried to convince himself that the despair and loneliness coming from her end of the bond was really his own, and that she really was okay. Because, Darien however much he tried to deny it was only staying sane because of that bond. He checked on it five times or more per day and tried to send her some happiness through it, while Serena had been doing her best to ignore the bond completely. Once he arrived at the park he waited in the shadows for the perfect moment to make his entrance. This moment came after a flash of bright light that seem to leave the scouts incapable of movement. Darien threw the rose with almost no thought-he had been in this superhero business for sometime and liked to believe he was good at what he did. Perhaps that was why when the rose was easily reflected Darien found himself incapable of movement. He was in such a daze that he missed the huge scissors, but he was quickly returned to the real world by the most agonizing tag at his chest. When he found himself able to breathe again he realized two things; he had just fallen out of the tree, and that Serena had just collapsed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Serena opened her eyes and saw green, blue, red and orange.
"Where's the attack?" she asked groggily.
"Meatball Head! We're in the middle of an attack!" Raye practically shouted.
Amy having realized that Serena was awake, and alright, stepped back to conduct scans, when she realized that they were in fact not in the middle of an attack.
"Serena?" she asked meekly, "Did you by any chance finish off that youma when were weren't looking?"
Amy was met with four blank stares as she waited while it slowly dawned on her fellow sailors that they were not being bombarded with deadly but somewhat silly looking attacks. Nor was there any screaming, running or pedestrian chaos of any sort.
"Where's the attack?" Raye asked sheepishly.
"Well," said Amy pressing a few more buttons on her computer, "It seems to me that the enemy has vanished. Retreated."
"I think we could have made that conclusion on our own Ames," Mina said, "Can you tell us why?"
However, their attention was focused on Serena, who wasn't showing any signs of listening to what the others were saying.
"Sailor Moon? Sere?" Lita asked, "Are you okay?"
"What?" she replied absent-mindedly "Yeah, I just have this feeling that I'm missing something. Seems silly, I know. Amy? Maybe you could do a scan? Check to see why I passed out like that."
All the scouts looked downright shocked at the fact that Serena would suggest such an intelligent and rational course of action. Amy was the first to get control of her emotions. She quickly began taking readings. The remaining scouts regained composure when they heard Amy gasp and saw all traces of colour leave her face.
"What is it Amy?" Raye asjed, when she made no motion to explain her discovery.
"Oh. I don't know, I'll have to take this home and analyze it" she said and ran off before anyone could say another word.
"She's obviously lying" Lita said "I wonder what could have caused such a reaction from Amy?"
"Well," Serena cut in "I really should be heading home. I can't help feeling I'm missing something."
The scouts looked bewildered at her serious tone, but before they could inquire, "It's probably just homework, eh?" (AN: yes I'm Canadian) she said in a chipper voice to mask any insecurities. With that she left as quickly as Amy.
"What-?" was all Mina could say. But Lita and Raye had no reply. They were left feeling just as clueless.
Meanwhile, Darien having seen Serena on her way headed home feeling more alone then he ever had.
Well, that's it for chapter two. Chapter three will be coming out soon, if anyone is even bothering to read this story (if you are please review! It makes me soooo happy!!!) Thanks go out to LadyKoneko for giving me my first review!!! I was jumping around my house with happiness, and to Kali my unofficial editor who is always around to boost my ego (not that I need it, but very much appriciated) tori
