Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been updating in a while. Finals just finished for me and I was studying really hard. Also I'm leaving for about three weeks so I won't update then. I'll try to keep writing though. Right now I'm in the middle of a LOTR story where two people are sent into the movie and stuff happens. I'm typing it right now because it's in a notebook of mine but I need help with a horseback riding scene so send me ideas for one cause I have no idea how to right one. I'll try to update though. So on with the story now. With this chapter it's coming from the scouts' point of view before the last chapter. There is a surprise at the end so don't worry. Now then the STORY!!!!!!!!!!!

Tokyo

A girl with short blue hair was walking down the street with her head down. "Ami" yelled a person behind her. It was Darien. He looked like hell, pale white with oily black hair. His eyes didn't have the sparkle it did before Serena left. Rini went back into the future because it was depressing for the scouts. There were no more battles for them anymore. It seemed as if the NegaVerse knew that the princess was not there anymore.

"Ami. Did you find anything out yet?" "No Darien I haven't. She hasn't been on the radar for years." "I know Ami but I can't help but wonder if I will ever see her again. I miss her so much. The way she laughed the way she smelled the way she felt when she was in my arms." "I know what you mean Darien. I miss her too. We all do. Raye still checks the fire all the time trying to find her. Lita is struggling to get through cooking school and mina stopped making movies. It's hard for all of us. We all loved her so much." "I just wish she was ere for one more day so I could tell her how much I cared and that I didn't mean the things that I did to her." Darien sighed and walked down the street and away from Ami. 'Please come home Serena. Please' she thought towards the heavens.

Darien walked away from Ami and headed toward the Crown Arcade. Andrew was cleaning the counter when he came in. "Hey Andy" Darien said. "Hey any luck?" "No nothing." "It'll be alright man she will come back." 'Soon I hope' Andy added silently to himself. "Yeah" he just said. Then a thought hit him. "Why don't you and the other girls take a vacation or something? It might help you forget about the situation you're in. I have a cousin ho lives in NY." "Really. If didn't know you had a cousin who lives in NY. He works for the company Moon Corporation."

"Really. I heard that company is run by five people." "Yeah and Jed is one of them" "Jed?" yeah my cousin. He lives in an apartment with three other guys. He's good friends with the owner/ president too. She lives in a penthouse close by to theirs too. Maybe you can get a job there or something. I know that your company is looking to do a deal with Moon Corp. so you and the girls could probably go."

The girls and Darien work at Rose enterprise for the past year to earn a living. Mina worked in publishing, Lita for the catering, Ami in accounting, Raye in the law and Darien in the business. Rose enterprise is a huge company that has main companies in all over the world. "I'll talk to my manager about that. I'm sure he'll allow us to go and make a deal."

Darien left the arcade and went to his apartment. When he got there he just laid on the bed looking at the photo of him and Serena on his birthday. She was the only one who cared enough about him to spend the whole day with him on his birthday. He turned away from the photo and wiped away the tear that was running down his face. Darien went and called his manager about the deal with Moon Corp. He said it was a great idea and told him and the other girls to be ready for their flight at the end of the week. 'Maybe this will be good for me.' Darien thought to himself. That night Darien slept peacefully for the first time in months.

A Week Later

The girls and Darien were in New York City waiting for Jed. Their plane just landed and they had just gotten their things. "Where is this guy?" said Raye being impatient as usual. "He'll be here. Don't worry so much," said Lita.

Just then a tall, handsome, blond haired man walked over to them. Mina had stars in her eyes. "Now that's what I call a man." The girls giggled while Darien rolled his eyes at her antics. "Hello. I'm Jed. You must be Darien. Andy has told me a lot about all of you." "Good things I hope," said Mina latching herself onto Jed's arm. "But of course he would." The gang followed Jed out to the limo waiting for them. "Sere asked me to take you to your house that you will be residing in during your stay in NYC"

Jed led them to a beautiful two story house. Jed had the chauffer take their things into their rooms. Everyone stood by the door as they waved goodbye to Jed. When he was far away from the house the girls looked at each other and then ran off to find their rooms. Darien chuckled to himself. Ami had a room with different shades of blue, Raye had a room with different shades of red and purple mixed; Lita's had different shades of green and brown while Mina's had a mix of gold and yellow shades.

Darien walked into his room and saw that his was a mix of black, dark blue, dark red and dark green. He just laid on the bed and fell asleep unpacking later when he woke up.

Three Days Later

The girls and Darien were enjoying NYC since they have never been to America before. They walked into their temporary house. The girls went to the living room to watch Lord of the Rings the trilogy since they have never saw it before.

Darien went into the kitchen to get some popcorn when he noticed that some left a message on the answering machine. 'Hey guys. It's me Jed. Hope you guys are having fun. Sere decided to meet with you guys tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 in her office. All you have to do is tell them your name and they will bring right up. I'll see ya later.'

After the popcorn was done he walked into the room and told the girls that they were going to be meeting Jed tomorrow at the office.

Later that night everyone was asleep when Ami walked out onto the balcony. She looked up at the stars for awhile before she heard the sliding door open. Darien walked out onto the balcony. "Hey. Couldn't sleep either?" she asked him. "No I couldn't. All I keep thinking about is Serena." He laid his arms on the railing and looked across at the scenery around them. The park was close by so they had a good view from their rooms. "Its hard knowing she's out there somewhere and not being able to find her." "We just have to try and deal with it Dare. She'll come find us. Or we'll find her when she wants to be found." Ami left the balcony leaving Darien alone with his thoughts.

The next morning spurred an excitement for the girls. They dressed in nice skirts and business suits. Darien wore a nice suit. Jed sent over a limo for them so they wouldn't have to walk. When they got to the office they were astounded at the size and décor of the place. They went up to the eighth floor of the ten story building.

Jed was waiting for them looking a little stressed out. "Hey Jed. Are you okay?" asked Raye. Jed plastered a smile on his face and replied "Yeah I'm okay. Nothing to worry about. You ready to meet the President." "Yes." They all replied. Jed knocked on the door and told her that they were here. Jed ushered them forward. The person in the room had her back turned from them. She turned around and everyone gasped except for Jed. All that was said was "Serena....." said from the girls and Darien. Serena just had her mouth slightly open and her eyes filled with shock.
