Amy was hyperventilating. She couldn't breathe. 'omigodomigodomigodomigod what am I going to do? This is going to destroy them. They're absolutely going to die! What am I going to do?'
There was a very good reason why Amy was pacing around her room at three in the morning. She hadn't needed to examine the data. She could always understand exactly what her computer data meant, but she needed some time to grips with it. It was gone. Well, not gone but snapped in half, and the remaining fragments were fading fast. Somehow during the battle the soul bond had been severed. The shock of being so completely alone had knocked Serena unconscious and Darien out of a tree. And so, one nervous sailor finds herself without any clue as what to do or how to fix the problem. All she knew was that it had to be fixed- and very very soon.
The thing with soul mates is that they share a soul, one soul, two bodies, and one bond to keep it all together. Now, if that bond is snapped, the soul can slowly but surely start leaking out, until the people are left with nothing. Alive, but not living.
Now, Amy thought no expert on love, understood that one soul and two bodies just didn't add up- and math was some thing she got. 'Oh boy,' she thought, 'I'm definitely going to need Mina for this'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day, Raye, Amy, Lita, and Mina were all talking at the temple.
"Amy, are you sure that that the data meant? Is there any chance you made a mistake?" Raye asked, after being informed of Amy's shocking discovery.
Amy, blushing, replied, "Well, I guess there's always a chance-"
"You know that's not true!" Lita cut in "Amy has never made a mistake before. We have to trust her!" she said forcefully.
"Maybe we should talk to Serena about this?" Amy asked meekly.
"No!" Mina practically shouted "No" she said again more strongly. "I don't know if Serena could take it, I know she'd think Darien was just abandoning her further. Is there any way we can fix this without the silver crystal?" she asked.
"Maybe we should talk to Darien about this?" Mina continued "I know he cares about Serena deeply, no matter what he says. He must have a reason for what he's doing."
"Guys, there's more" Amy said solemnly "We have to get this bond intact soon, or they'll both die." Amy's words were met with horror filled faces and stunned silence.
"Okay guys," Lita said finally, "I guess we go see Darien."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile, Serena sat on her bed still in her pajamas, nevermind that it was already past two in the afternoon on a Saturday, and she could almost always be found at the arcade at this time.
'God,' Serena thought 'What's wrong with me? I haven't felt this alone in a couple weeks, I thought I was finally getting over Darien, and now it feels like I'm completely and totally alone. Good thing Luna's not home, she'd probably faint at the sight of me just sitting here thinking. Why does everyone think I'm so stupid?' She wiped a tear that escaped just before Rini came sauntering in.
"Serena?" she asked bewildered "What are you still doing here? I thought you went out with the girls hours ago..."
"They never came by." She replied simply
Rini, although very young could pick up on people's feelings quite easily, and even if she couldn't understand the reasons she knew something was bothering Serena. "Well, then, could you take me to the arcade?"
Even though Serena couldn't get excited about going out she decided that getting out of the house would probably help her feel better. "Sure Small Lady, just give me five minutes to get ready." With that she walked into the bathroom.
'Small Lady?' Rini thought 'I must be more homesick then I thought.'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At that time the girls were sitting in a booth at the arcade.
"Okay," said Lita "Mina and Raye will go talk to Darien, Amy will go talk to Serena, and I'll be occupying Rini."
"Remind me again why I have to go talk to Darien," complain Raye "Shouldn't it be Amy to explain to him what's going on?"
"Well, we did consider that," Amy sad, "But, out of all of us girls, you know Darien the best, plus most likely you'd go ballistic at Serena, and we feel that she needs someone to be gentle on her."
"I resent that!" Raye said hotly, proving them to be right anyway, "I can be nice when want to!" But the conversation was cut short when Serena and Rini entered the arcade. Lita jumped up immediately.
"Rini!" she exclaimed happily "What do you say we head over to my place and do some cooking?"
"Yeah!" Rini said then looked to Serena for permission.
"Go ahead." She said.
"Uhhh... we have to go too." Mina said, and she and Raye left leaving Amy and Serena sitting alone in their booth.
"So Amy," Serena said after a short pause "Have you finsihed analyzing the data from the scans you took last night?"
"Well, umm.... see, the thing with that is-"
"Yes?" Serena prompted
"I haven't been able to finish looking it over."
Serena just looked at her for a moment, while Amy preceded to look more and more awkward.
"Amy do you really expect me to believe that? Am I perceived to be that stupid by you? I thought you had a higher opinion of me." Serena said very emotionally.
"I do Serena." Amy said emphatically. "It's just that-"
"The other girls think I can't handle it? Why don't you just tell me the bond is broken and get it out of the way?"
Amy sat in stunned silence, while Serena waited patiently. "Tell me! Is that what happened? It's driving me crazy! I can't feel him, he's gone. Is it because he really doesn't love me?" Amy still didn't say anything. "Tell me damnit! I can't take not knowing!" Serena said as tears ran down her face.
"Okay." Amy said, "Okay. Yes, that's what happened. Somehow the bond has been snapped. I assume it was sometime during the battle, and done by the Darkmoon family."
"During the attack... obviously... the Darkmoon family?... most likely... Okay, how much time do we have?"
"Time?" Amy echoed dumbly. She was surprised by how calmly and maturely Serena was taking all this, even if her emotions were fluctuating. "How long do we have until this bond needs to be repaired? W can't live separated forever you know."
"Well of course I know." Amy tried to salvage her dignity. "Time I don't know, but not very much... What we need is a plan."
And so! The story! ENJOY!!!
