I don't own Sailor Moon. Sorry.
Serena's mouth opened in awe as she stared at the window. She nearly forgot
why she was down here, but soon regained her composure.
"Mary! Have you got a megaphone or something?" Serena called over the eerily silent room. Mary only nodded her head and reached under her desk. She retrieved the megaphone and brought it to Serena's outstretched hand, still unspeaking.
"Listen up! It's Serena here, and I want to know who's out there and who just fired that shot!" Serena's calm and clear voice rang out loudly, prompting a response from the men outside.
"Serena, this is the Savanna Police. We've surrounded the building and are arresting the men from the Society. We fired the shot, and only because the man had a bomb he'd planted on the building. He was about to set it off, but we couldn't do anything to stop him. We ask that you do not, we repeat, do not attempt to leave until we have cleared you." The captain's voice echoed back, controlled, but lined with fear. Serena cleared her throat and lifted the megaphone to her lips.
"We thank you for your time and help. We will stay here until you call back to us and let us out." Serena replied calmly and turned around to face Mary. "I think the food may have to wait." She said with a smirk. The two began to walk back upstairs to the rest of the group, all of which were sitting on the floor with various expressions on their face. Anastasia, Mandy, and Miriam were crying on the shoulders of Edward, Morris and Darien, respectively. The men were holding onto the girls with tight grips, but pain and fear traced their faces, shadowing the bravery they were trying to show.
"Come on, you guys. No worries, ok? The Savanna police are arresting the Society members as we speak, and they... well, Ray was going to bomb the building, so they had to shoot him." This prompted wails of detest and disgust from the women and cringes from the men. Serena and Mary sat down and waited from a half hour until the booming voice of the police captain was heard once more.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now ready for you to leave the building. The Society members have been arrested and we are trying to get the names of the rest of the members. I repeat, it is all clear for you to leave the building." Smiling brightly, everyone stood and walked single file down the stairs to see the door flung open and a dozen police officers standing outside. Sheriff Carter was talking to the captain of the Savanna police and turned around to smile at the group before going back to his conversation.
"Miss, we'd like to speak with you a moment." One of the officers calmly stated, taking Serena aside a short distance. "Ma'am, we'd like to thank you for all your help today. Your call for help to the Shields helped us find where the Society was, and now that we've captured them, the Shields may now move back here."
"No problem, officer. I'd like to say thank you to your entire force for capturing them." Serena smiled and shook the man's hand, turning quickly and racing back to her friends and family.
"Darien, they say you could move back! When will you?" Serena hugged Darien tightly and let go to look him in the face. His smiled brightened and he turned to his parents, a pleading look in his eyes.
"Mom, dad, did you hear? We can move back! Please, can we?" Edward and Anastasia exchanged glances and smiled, reading each others' mind.
"Of course. We can move back in a few days. All we have to do is pack and get on a plane." Edward hugged his son and Serena. Anastasia did the same.
Hours passed and the group had eaten at the Tavern, a local restaurant. Amidst laughs and cheers, everyone talked about how strange this experience was and how much they'd miss each other.
It was nearly midnight when the Shields' private jet landed on a farm just outside Beaufort. The girls exchanged phone numbers and emails with Darien and Serena, and Edward and Anastasia were busy thanking Morris for all his help. The four stepped onto the plane with a last goodbye, waving and blowing kisses. Sitting down, they strapped on their seatbelts and watched as they rose up into the clouds, the green grass and red barns slowly shrinking and disappearing from view.
It was only an hours' flight until they reached Serena's hometown, and they got off the plane quietly. Here, it was midnight, and Serena's mother was waiting patiently for them at the terminal.
"Serena! Oh, baby, I missed you so much!" Eileen's franticly excited voice filled the air and the two ran at each other, meeting halfway in a huge bear hug, tears spilling wildly down their tired faces.
Eileen released her daughter and hugged Darien, Anastasia and Edward in turn. Everyone cried and smiled, happy the ordeal was over. Walking to the parking lot, the five climbed into one of the limos and set off for home. Serena and her mother were dropped off at home, Serena hugging Darien and kissing him lightly on the lips, Eileen thanking Edward and Anastasia once more for saving her daughter.
Eileen and Serena walked up to the door, unlocking it with unsteady hands. They walked in together and both headed up the stairs to their bedrooms. Going into their own rooms, they changed and went to sleep.
Dawn broke early that morning, and both women were up before to see the golden sun rise above the horizon. They watched silently, holding onto mugs of tea, as the sky changed from a dark blue to a lighter shade, then a purple, and finally a pink. The sight was truly spectacular, and both women knew how special the sight was.
"Sere, I was so scared I'd lose you too. I would've been all alone in this world, and I couldn't face that. Thank you for coming back to me." Eileen whispered as tears coursed over her face, her arms wrapping around Serena's body and pulling her into a tight hug.
"Mom, I wouldn't leave you. I couldn't. I need you too much!" Serena's face was assaulted by tears as well, and she tightened her grip on her mother.
The two stayed there for ten minutes, then walked arm in arm to the house to have breakfast. All day they stayed at home, reveling in the others' company, soaking every moment up of life.
Months passed, and everyone was recovering from the ordeal quite well. Serena continued with life and went on to finish high school with an honors average, Darien took a high job at one of his father's hotels, and the Shields went on with work, more determined than ever to do good things with their companies. Eileen adjusted well to the single-life and also took on a high paying job at one of the Shield's hotels. One week after graduating, Serena was sitting in her room watching A Walk to Remember for the hundredth time. The phone rang at shortly after four in the afternoon, and Serena picked it up cautiously.
"Moon residence, Serena speaking." Serena's voice was quiet and shaky as she remembered the last time she picked up the phone at home.
"Serena, hey. It's Darien. I was wondering if you and your mother would grace us with your presence tonight at dinner. We were thinking La Pasión, do you mind?" Darien's voice was calm and excited at the same time, but his body was reacting different. The term hormonal teenager could only describe Darien's actions.
"Sure, Darien, we'd love to join you. What time shall we meet you there?" Serena was grinning widely as her mother looked on with a questioning expression.
"Be ready at six. We'll come pick you up. If you could, wear dresses, really elegant ones. Not that you don't look good anytime, but it's just the type of clothing you wear there, you know?" Darien was rambling on, extremely nervous about how the rest of the night was going to go.
"Sure, Darien, I'll tell my mom. Thanks for the invitation. See you then." Serena replied, trying hard to keep her excitement out of her voice. Inside, though, it was a different story. Her heart began to beat faster and she began to breathe deeper.
"No problem. See you soon!" Darien hung up the phone and jumped off the couch, throwing his arms into the air and letting out a loud burst of laughter.
Serena melted into the couch and turned to her mom. "Umm, we're going to La Pasión tonight with Darien and his parents, and they'll be here at six. We have to wear formal dresses and be really elegant looking." Eileen's eyes widened and she grabbed her daughter's hand.
"Well, slowpoke! We have to go get our hair done! And shop! Hurry up!" The two began to laugh and raced over to the door.
Ok, strange chapter. I think it sucks, really. But if you don't think so, review! Also, I'm sort of stuck. I mean, there was something I had in mind to do next chapter, but I need some ideas. If you know what I should do next, review and let me know. I check a few times daily. (Pathetic I know.) Thanks!
