Chapter Five:
"Serenity, my daughter. You need to wake up, it is not your time." Queen Selenity said to Serena who was still standing in front of her mother.
"But I want to stay here with you, Mother. I don't want to go back to Earth after what my friends did to me. They didn't even try to help me in the end." Serena replied as she turned her head away from her mother's gaze, so she wouldn't be able to see the unshed tears in her eyes.
"Perhaps, Serenity, this could not be an end, but a new beginning. Maybe you could start over, try something new with your life. I don't really know what to tell you. Only that whatever you do, be sure to follow your heart. Do whatever will make you happy, but don't forget that you will still have to defend Earth." The Queen said to her daughter, as she reached out and gently drew Serena's face back to hers.
Serena pondered this for a moment, then turned to Selenity.
"You're right mother. I could start all over. I hadn't thought of that before. Maybe I will go back." Serena said with elation, but then stopped and squeezed her mother's hand even tighter. "But Mother, I don't want to leave you again. I've missed you so much and to see you again I realize just how much I missed you. Please, never leave me. I won't leave unless you promise that somehow, you'll always be with me."
Queen Selenity looked at the distraught face of her only daughter and a sad smile graced her beautiful face. "Serenity, I am always with you, and always have been. I will not leave you, not even now. I will always love you. And never forget that you will always have the Silver Crystal, that will always be a reminder of me for you. And I will also visit you in your dreams. I will never leave you. I love you."
The passion and warmth in her mother's words made Serena's unshed tears stream down her face. "I love you too, Mother. I will never forget you. I will miss you so much." Serena rushed forward and hugged her mother. More memories of her past life washed over her exhausted mind. She and her mother in the Kingdom's gardens, giggling, dancing around the ballroom floor when she was still just a child. Serena's wished that it could all be that simple again, that she could just go back to that time and stay there. A thought suddenly occurred to Serena and she looked up into her mother's eyes once more and said, "Mother, is it possible.I mean can I.um.could I possibly visit you in the past sometime, if Pu allows it?"
Selenity was quite taken aback by the stuttering of her daughter, as if she thought Selenity might yell at her for speaking such words. She looked into her eyes and saw how much they pleaded with her to say yes, to tell her that she could see her whenever she wanted, as long as Pu allowed. It sounded reasonable enough to her and so smiled a big smile at her daughter and said, "Of course you can. That is, as long as Pluto allows it. Don't misuse your powers, because it will take a lot of your energy and you will need rest after your journey." Selenity's smile grew even wider as Serena grabbed her again and smiled into her hair. She hated to bring this to a close, but she knew that she had to let her daughter go, again. She gently pulled away from Serena and a sad smile replaced the full-out smile that had graced her face a short time before. Looking into Serena's eyes she finally said her goodbyes. "Serenity - Serena. It is time for you to go know. Remember all that I said, and be safe. And remember that I will always love you." Kissing her daughter on the forehead, Selenity backed away from her completely.
Serena knew that this time would come, but she just didn't want it to come so soon. Squaring her shoulders, she waved goodbye to her mother and said, "I love you too and will never forget all that you have said to me. Goodbye, for now.Mommy."
At that moment, several things happened at once. Queen Selenity burst into tears, letting her shoulders hunch and the sobs rack her frail body. Serena's body began to glow a faint white, which slowly began to grow and surround her entire figure. And the voices that had clouded her mind, what seemed like hours ago, began to fog her head again. She could slightly make out words now, there were so many voices. Serena tried to listen to and decipher the voices as she also tried to keep looking at her mother's frail body hunched over the floor sobbing. But before Serena could take a step forward to comfort her fallen mother, the bright light which surrounded her own body flashed and she was engulfed in darkness.
