Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon or the Wheel of Time series...........although I wish I did...........evil fiends!!!!!!

A/N: It's been a while since I've written a chapter. Good news is I've graduated!!! Anyway, since no one else is gonna vote I think? Serena is gonna go with Rand.

Some people asked what I was gonna do with the three people who were supposed to be with him in the book. In my world, they all think of him as family (hint: Rand and Elayne practically are family and frankly I really don't like Elayne at all sometimes!!); therefore, no problems and no time wasted writing about him turning them down. on with the story!!

Chapter 5 Meeting New Friends

before

She snorted 'They wanted a sign and now they have one, but they're too scared because they never thought it would really happen...How sad...' She watched as the two teens painfully drank water into their parched throats.

She felt a sudden wisdom as all her lives and years lived wash over her. Her whisper was silent and sorrowful but carried in the air, "The battle for this world has finally begun..."

now (A/N: People are gonna be just a little bit OC, hehehehehehehehe)

"...The seventh day since you all went down into the valley."

Serena looked at Rand's surprised face as he heard those words. The water bag dropped from his hands as his face grew earnest. Serena became concerned as he did not utter a reply. She went to him and placed a hand on his forehead carefully.

"Rand? Are you alright? Maybe you should lie down..."

His eyes refocused on her face and she began to feel something strange deep inside herself. Rand's eyes tore away from hers as a slight blush began rising in both their cheeks. Egwene and Mat both began to snicker until Mat gave a slight grunt of uncomfortable ness. Rand looked at him worriedly and said to Amys, "I saw how you flung Couladin. Will you Heal Mat?"

Serena watched as the Wise Ones looked at each other uncomfortably and replied for them, "If they cannot do the Healing needed then I will help. I need to repay you in someway for allowing me to come on your journey anyway." Rand nodded at her and looked on curiously as she walked up to Mat and held a hand hovering in front of his chest. Egwene gasped in shock as Serena began to glow slightly with an unearthly silver light. The glow transferred to her hand and a ball of light was formed. They watched as the ball entered Mat's body and stared as all his injuries began to disappear. Soon Mat looked fine, albeit a little dusty.

"Blood and bloody ashes, that was amazing," Mat finally uttered, "I feel wonderful! I could run a thousand miles!" Serena took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"It feels...odd to heal after being in a battle a few days ago," She whispered. Rand and the others gave her a concerned look. She smiled brightly at them and told them she was alright. Rand felt a slight stirring and suppressed a second blush of the day that was about to rise again.

They all started up to the Wise Ones' tents and there was laughter as Lan told of why he did not follow Moiraine. Serena was content as she realized she had found new friends who were loyal to each other and who had welcomed her into their hearts.

'And maybe a new love too' she thought while giving a discreet glance towards Rand. Egwene saw her gaze on him and gave a slight giggle while elbowing Serena slightly. Serena jumped and scowled in embarrassment while Egwene began laughing. The others looked on in confusement but also began laughing as Serena's face turned even redder due to her naturally pale complexion.

She gave a sigh of long suffering and dragged a laughing Egwene up to the tents before she could embarrass her even more.

a while later

Serena soon got her revenge as Egwene began to blush in embarrassment because she had childishly stuck her tongue out at Rand while the Wise Ones were still there. Serena was still grinning until Rand and Rhuarc began speaking of what was in Rhuidean.

'A way of looking through the eyes of another in a different time? How interesting' she thought carefully while subconsciously listening to the conversation going on in front of her.

"What is / Avendoraldera /," Serena interrupted curiously. Rhuarc blinked and answered, "/ Avendoraldera / is the "Tree of Life" and was given to Cairhien as a gift by us, the Aiel."

"This "Tree of Life" is gone now?" "Yes" "Is it white and almost silvery with strong branches while giving off a sense of calm?" "Yes, how did you know," Rhuarc asked astonished.

Serena gave a mysterious smile and replied, "You will know when we resume our journey." They gave her another curious glance but resumed their conversation as a single heart beat a little quicker at seeing the almost sultry smile.

The women entered the Wise Ones' tent while muttering something about water and shade. The others followed silently.

"Strip to the waist," Melaine said sternly to Rand and Mat. They looked at each other startled and Egwene made a snicker as she noticed how Serena tried to avoid looking at them while a slow wave of red began rising again. Mat also gave a snicker and quickly followed Melaine's directions while watching Serena's reaction.

Serena scowled ferociously and determinedly turned around to look at their torsos. She marched up to Melaine and said, "I can heal Rand too."

Melaine answered respectfully, "If it would please you." Serena smiled brightly in return and replied, "We are all friends here."

She turned to Rand and said, "Hold still." He acquiesced and surveyed as she did the same to him as she did to Mat. Serena began to glow with the unearthly light but frowned slightly and hesitated.

"What's wrong," asked Egwene.

"There is a strange...aura around some part of his body."

Serena scrutinized Rand's chest and noticed a strange scab near his side. Her eyes widened and she moved a little closer to inspect the old wound. Rand's eyes widened slightly at her closeness and began to grow warm as his heart beat faster. He almost shivered as her hand slowly rose to touch the scab. Serena let her hand hover over the wound and frowned again.

She sat back and gave a soft sigh. "This wound cannot be fully healed by me right now, I'm afraid." Mat gave her a concerned look and asked, "I thought you were a goddess or something?"

Serena replied, "I was originally a Goddess in my past life, but I died and was reborn as a human. As time grew on, my body began to regain its immortality and strength. As a goddess, I am very powerful, practically one of the most powerful gods. However I haven't regained every memory of power and I do not know the extent of what I can do right now. I can do my best right now with what knowledge I have, but it will not be enough to completely heal an old wound such as this. Of that I am certain."

They all nodded and Rand said quietly, "I only ask that you do your best, please."

Serena looked at him sadly and nodded. She began concentrating once again and her light was brighter than the last time. Everyone could practically feel the power on their own bodies and began to feel a sense of strength and cleanliness. Serena let the power flow from the palm of her hand into Rand's body and tried to focus most of the healing energy into the old wound.

After what seemed like hours, she stopped and gasped in air as she fell back on her bottom. Rand also inhaled air like a dying man and Egwene ran forward to help them. Serena quickly rose and slowed her breathing.

"I'm fine," she said to Egwene and went to Rand. She put a hand on his shoulder and said reassuringly, "It's ok, just breathe. Create a rhythm in your mind and calm your heart. Breathe."

Rand gazed into her swirling blue and silver eyes and slowly steadied his heart to a normal pace...or what was a normal pace when she was so close to him.( hehehehe)

"Are you two alright?"

Amys's concerned voice broke them from their trance and they turned away from each other before they could see each other's light blushes.

"I'm fine," they said simultaneously. Amys smiled slightly but stopped as Rand began speaking once more.

"Rhuarc, is there any way for me to speak to the septs and clan chiefs before Couladin can cause anymore trouble for us?"

Rhuarc frowned slightly, "...There is no set tradition, but the closest place to the Cold Rocks or Rhuidean would be Alcair Dal. There the Peace of Rhuidean would most likely hold."

"/ Al'cair Dal /? The "Golden Bowl"," asked Mat. Serena peered at him along with Egwene as he spoke the word differently than Rhuarc, with a slight...accent. 'It was very subtle but there nonetheless' they both thought.

"It is a round canyon and is certainly not golden. There is a ledge at one end and a man could speak there without having to raise his voice for everyone to hear," Rhuarc replied while nodding.

a while later (again)

Serena frowned.

During that time, they had learned of Rand's true parents and that they were also dead. Egwene and the others had tried to comfort him in their own way, but Serena understood he did not know how to react. He had never met his true parents. All he had were the people who had taken care of him and had given him the happiness in his childhood.

Aviendha and Moiraine had also returned, although Moiraine was a little worse for wear. 'I had to heal the both of them and I'm starting to feel a bit tired.' The Wise Ones had also told him of the prophecy speaking about him. It said that he would bring together everyone but would then break the world.

'Wow, I bet everyone would love to get news like that. The first time I found out anything important about me I felt like I would scream. Rand didn't express anything but his eyes and his emotions were so...bitter...'

She sighed and looked over Egwene was resting. 'I might as well visit the others in Elysion' she thought to herself. Serena lay down on the pallet and slowly closed her eyes.

in Elysion

Serena blinked and found herself standing in front of the temple where Helios stood waiting for her along with three familiar people. She strode up the stairs with a smile on her face and realized she was in her Goddess form.

"Hello, Helios. How are the others?"

"They are doing well, your Majesty. They have all been living their own inner dreams here. Lita her cooking, Ami her medicine, Mina her acting, Rei her singing, Haruka her racing, Michiru her music, Setsuna her fashion designing, and Hotaru is happy being healthy and strong while playing constantly with other dreamers."

"I am happy to hear that. May I ask who these three are?"

The three familiar faces grinned happily and replied, "I'm surprised you haven't remembered us, your Majesty. We were the originally the Amazon Trio!" (A/N: Sorry, I don't remember the team names. I only remember the Amazon Quartet.)

Serena's eyes widened and she joyously laughed while hugging each. "I remember! You guys are Fisheye, Tigers Eye, and Hawks Eye!"

They laughed together once more and Serena wiped away tears. She said to them, "I will be going now. Tell the others I said Hi! I will be visiting again soon."

They hugged each other once more, including Helios, and waved goodbye. Serena shimmered and vanished.

The four looked at each other and said, "I hope she finds happiness in her own heart now."

/ Tel'aran'rhiod /

Serena entered the so-called world of dreams and saw Egwene speaking with a pretty young girl dressed in high necked green dress. 'Wow, proper' she thought laughingly.

The girl turned and gasped as she saw Serena standing there. Egwene whirled around and saw Serena. She squinted slightly and said, "Serena? Is that really you?"

Serena cocked her head slightly to the side in a questioning look and walked forward. "Why? Is there something wrong with me?" Egwene shook her head and said, "No, you just looked...out of this world?"

Serena glanced down and sweatdropped.

"Oops, I forgot I was still in my Goddess form. I was visiting some friends a second ago."

A voice spoke up questioningly, "Goddess form?"

Serena gasped as she quickly raised her head, "Damn, I forgot someone else was here. She is your friend, Egwene. Correct?"

"Yes," Egwene replied, "and what does "damn" mean?"

Serena sweatdropped again and said, "Sorry, "damn" is a bad word in my world. It's like...saying "blood and bloody ashes" like Mat always does!"

Serena turned to the young girl next to Egwene and held out her hand. "Hello, my full name is Serenity Amnesty Tranquillia Solania Starline Moonshine (A/N: I had a random moment of insanity here). My friends call me Serena or Sere. I hope we can be friends as I am with Egwene," she said with a blinding smile.

The girl blinked once...twice...thrice (A/N: hehehehehe) before smiling back and proudly, albeit boastfully, replying, "My name is Elayne Trakand of the House of Trakand, Daughter of Morgase, the Queen of Andor."

Serena inwardly frowned at the girl's vanity and decided to reprehend her.

"Really, you're a princess? So am I! Or I used to be. My full title is Neo- queen of the Moon, the Earth, the Cosmos, and the Stars, Guardian of the Cosmos, Messiah of Light, Goddess of Light, Purity, Life, and the Cosmos. I am also a Sailor Senshi of the Moon and Cosmos." (A/N: I gave her a few extra stuff. Hotaru is sort of her opposite. Darkness and Light, Death and Life.)

Egwene gave an inaudible snicker as Elayne's face visibly paled at the longer and obviously more powerful titles than hers. Serena gave a gentle smile and said kindly, "Titles don't really matter though since we're all going to be friends!"

They all smiled at each other before Elayne said to Egwene, "Nynaeve and I are ahead of schedule right now. The Sea Folk also think Rand is their Coramoor." Serena let them continue their talking and surveyed their surroundings quietly. She saw mounds of rubble everywhere until a sparkling light caught her eye. She could also feel a large amount of security wards surrounding it. There was also a small trace of Rand's aura laced with the wards which meant he had left them in the "real world".

She walked closer until her gown almost touched the wards and looked carefully at the object. It was a long sword that was crystal clear like glass. From experience, she understood it was probably much stronger than it looked and most likely harder. She reached out with her power and felt the strength of magical energy brimming from the sword. However, it could not actually give power. It seemed to be more of a power channeling object for someone who had a bit of magic.

Serena gave a start as she felt a small tendril of energy behind her but relaxed as she felt Amys's aura omitting from the small bit of power. Soon enough she heard Elayne shrieking Egwene's name.

She quickly strode over and said, "It is alright. It was merely Amys summoning Egwene. She was probably not supposed to be in here without Amys anyway. You should get some rest and plan for the rest of your journey."

Elayne quickly nodded as the worry disappeared from her eyes and was about to leave until Serena stopped her to speak.

"Elayne, you have a pure heart. You are merely too vain and prideful. Your mouth will be trouble one day. You must learn to curb your tongue and care for the wellbeing of others," said Serena gently, "We will meet again soon, Elayne of Trakand. Also tell your companion, Nynaeve, of our meeting. I would like to be her friend too. Goodbye."

Elayne could only stare as Serena once again vanished in sparkling silver light.

I think this chapter and chapter 4 were my longest so far. Both are about 7 pages and I have a feeling there will be longer chapter coming soon. Right now I had a brain freeze for about a month and I was waiting for reviews. I now want more reviews!!! They can be flames or advice about what I should do or if I messed up on names. I'm currently on book ten: Crossroads of Twilight. I might have missed this or something, but what happened to Galad? I feel bad for the guy.

Note to people: You know how she knew about the tree of life? Hmmmmmmmmm I wonder what she's gonna do? (Hint hint: she is sort of the Goddess of Life)

This chapter sort of started off boring in my own opinion but I'm thinking there's gonna be some more action later on (not like that, you sickos...well not yet anyway ) Anyway, I am not posting another chapter until I get at least 6 reviews for this story. (I also have another idea for another SM crossover. Can you tell I love the anime/manga!!?)
