Serena walked slowly down the streets, she had to train for the final fight with Beryl, she didn't want to leave Rini but she didn't want her getting hurt while they trained, they had already tried, anytime Serena hit the ground the infant would cry and cry, the little girl had a quieter disposition now, she didn't like playing much anymore, she didn't explore her surroundings with fascination, and she didn't eat as much, Serena knew Rini missed her Darien as much as she did. she finally reached the day care downtown, the children were outside in the front playing, Serena smiled sadly and walked past there white picket fence, she then entered,

"Welcome." a woman said, she was very pretty, in her late 20's with strawberry blond hair, her eyes were big and an innocent shade of hazel,

"Serena, it's so nice to see you again." she said,

"You too, Lisa." Serena said kindly,

"Serena!" someone shouted, Serena looked over to the young girl, playing with children, it was Lizzie, Andrew little sister,

"Lizzie what are you doing here?" Serena asked as she walked over to her,

"Working for a car for a summer job, but I'm still working at the arcade too." she laughed, She smiled, Lizzie was always so full of life.

"Hi there Rini, do you remember me?" She questioned to the baby, she took her in her arms,

"Got it covered Serena, see you later." Lizzie said, Serena nodded and left, she hurried to the temple…

"Ah!" Sailor Moon screamed in pain as Sailor Mars Pinned her against a brick wall,

"Raye let me go." She whined,

"The Negacreeps aren't going to let you go if you whine, get out of it yourself." she said, Serena pushed back tackling, Mars to the ground

"Nice." She muttered, as she got, she dusted off, but Moon wasn't done, she ran head first for Mars,

"Ah! Serena I thought we were done, Go to Lita, she'll fight you. Mars complained

Jupiter walked slowly towards the scouts, Sailor Moon, thrown over her shoulder,

"Let me down!" she yelled as she hit Jupiter's back,

"Game, Set, Match, though you put up a great match, almost lost to ya." she winked,

"Let me down Lita!" Sailor Moon yelled, Jupiter abruptly dropped her on the ground,

"My butt." Sailor Moon whined, the girls chuckled…
