Chapter 2
*~The Encounter~*
"Hi, Rini!" said Serena.
"Hey," answered Rini. "Are we going to that nice restaurant for dinner? I've starved."
Serena smiled. "Yes. I made reservations there." Rini cheered.
***at the restaurant***
"Mom, are we going to any new places for your model show?" Rini asked curiously.
Serena stopped eating and looked at her daughter. "Yes," she answered, looking back down at her food. "We're going to Paris and then to Tokyo."
Rini gasped in delight. "We're going back home? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I just found out today."
"Cool! When are we leaving for Paris?"
"In two days."
***in Paris***
Rini and Serena were shopping nearly all day long. "Come on, Mom!" Rini shouted happily, dragging a very tired-looking Serena behind her.
"I'm going. I'm going."
After a few hours of shopping, Serena and Rini were full of shopping bags. They went to their hotel room to drop off the bags and then they went down to the lobby to meet with Kathy.
"So, how much stuff did you guys buy?" Kathy asked interestedly.
"I think we bought enough to fill a plane," Serena answered with a slight smile.
"So you guys did remember that we're leaving tomorrow, right?" Kathy asked.
"Yeah, we remembered," said Serena gloomily.
"Well, we better go pack, Mom," Rini said, dragging Serena by the arm.
Serena nodded. She turned to Kathy and said, "Well, bye, Kathy. I'll see you at the airport tomorrow."
Kathy nodded and Serena and Rini went upstairs into their bedroom.
***at the airport***
Reporters had been following Serena, Rini, and Kathy ever since they arrived at the airport. To lose them, Serena had devised a plan. (A/N: Serena actually came up with a plan?! That's new!)
Kathy was wearing a hat, Rini was wearing her hair in a ponytail, and Serena was wearing her hair in two long braids. She put dark sunglasses on and walked towards the plane with Kathy and Rini following her.
While inside the plane, Serena was talking to Kathy while Rini slept. "So what hotel are we staying in?" Kathy asked.
"I'm not sure yet. I guess it'll be one downtown," Serena answered.
Kathy didn't say anything. She merely turned her gaze out the window as the plane rose into the sky. Throughout the whole flight Serena wondered what would happen during her stay in Tokyo.
***at Tokyo in Rei's Shrine***
Amy, Rei, Lita, Mina, Michelle, Amara, Trista, and Hotaru were talking about Rei's latest vision.
"So what exactly did you see, Rei?" Hotaru asked quietly.
Rei hesitated, as though looking for the right words to describe her vision. "Somehow I sense a person that we know coming to Tokyo. And along with that person comes a great evil."
"Who is the person that we know?" Mina asked.
"Serena."
The scouts gasped. "She's returning?" Trista asked incredulously.
Rei nodded.
Five years ago, Serena had left thinking her friends didn't want to be around her anymore. However, this was not true. You see, that day, the scouts had been hypnotized to neglect Serena and force her to leave Tokyo. The monster that the scouts had been fighting that day released a sweet aroma when it was destroyed. It was this aroma that caused the Sailor Scouts to feel hatred towards Serena. Therefore, it had not been the scouts at all that neglected Serena; it had been the monster that lived inside them for a certain amount of time. (A/N: Nice twist, huh?)
"I can's believe she's coming back after everything we forced her to endure," Lita said sadly.
"Forget the past!" Amara shouted angrily. "We need to think about our new mission." She turned towards Rei and asked, "Can you tell where Serena is right now?"
Rei shook her head. "No, but I'm sure that Amy can find out what we need to know about Serena's location."
Amy nodded. She immediately took out her laptop and researched the name Serena Tsukino. A bunch of information came out on the screen.
Amy began to read a recent article about Serena's model shows: "She's a model and she's going to be in a show sometime this week. She has a manager named Kathy and a daughter named Rini."
Hotaru smiled. "Rini-chan is coming too?"
Amy nodded. An idea suddenly struck her. "Hey, guys I've got a good idea. Since Serena won't want to be around us during the show, we can have Hotaru be around Rini."
The others listened interestedly.
Amy continued, "Since Hotaru wasn't present when we had that fight with Serena, then it's likely that Serena won't be mad at Hotaru. And plus, Hotaru and Rini are still best friends so that is a good excuse for us to get near Serena."
The others smiled. Amy almost always came up with the good plans.
"So now the only thing we can do is wait and see," said Michelle.
***at the hotel***
Serena and Rini unpacked their suitcases and prepared to go shopping at the mall. "Come on, Mom!" Rini said, rushing Serena so that she could hurry and unpack faster.
"Oh, all right," said Serena, a bit annoyed at her daughter's behavior.
***at the mall*
Darien was taking a break from work. He decided to go to the mall and eat at a food court. After he finished his lunch, he went to browse some of the stores. Darien had decided to go to a gift shop so that he could buy Hotaru a birthday present since her birthday was in two weeks.
As he walked into the store, he noticed a girl with pink odango hair. The girl was looking at a large stuffed bear. Darien had a sudden flashback of his 8-year-old daughter, Rini, smiling about her new stuffed teddy bear.
A minute later, a blonde odango-haired woman walked into the shop. She briefly walked over to the pink haired girl and placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's time to go," the blonde haired woman told the little girl.
A sudden realization struck Darien. 'No one else wears the odango style,' he thought. 'That has to be her..'
Darien walked over to the two girls just as they left the shop. Darien reached out and stopped the blonde haired woman. "Serena?" he managed to ask.
Serena turned around and gasped.
