D- Sailormoon does not belong to me.

She awoke, but she wished she hadn't. The temple held an eerie feeling, something that she had never felt before.
"Don't cry anymore, Rei…" he said. "You've cried enough in your sleep…it's a real bummer I can't help you out in any way."
She noticed that Chad was holding her hand and his eyes were red. Had he been crying?
"Chad, I've gotten over it. Don't worry." She rose from bed and stretched. "Sure, it's gonna be weird that grandpa isn't here to help me anymore. And yeah, I'm going to miss him, but I know that I will meet him again someday."
"That is what keeps me going…don't you know it's good to have faith? Besides, I can still communicate with him and…and…"
She noticed that Chad had buried his head in his hands and she could hear what to her sounded like sobs. Almost automatically, though, he wiped his face and brought it up to give Rei a broken smile.
"Yeah, it is gonna be okay, isn't it?" The boy asked and the scout nodded.
She walked over to him and gave him a hug.
"We'll get through this together, Chad. You don't worry about a thing. Okay?"
He yawned deeply, it was evident he hadn't slept all night.
"Come on, Chad. Get into bed and get some rest." Her half-hearted smile got him up off the chair and under the cozy warm blankets.

She walked out of the room and slid the door closed behind her.
"Would you care for a cup of coffee?" Lita startled the red scout as she handed her the mug.
"Thank you, Lita."
The rest of the scouts, along with Luna and Artemis, stood behind her.
"What are all of you doing here?" Rei asked as she walked further into the living room.
"We came to see how you were doing, we thought we might be of help." Ami stated.
"Well, you're not!" Rei shouted and the blue haired girl stepped back, alarmed.
"You don't have to come here because you feel bad for me."
"We're not here because of that, Rei. If you would only listen, then we might be able to knock some sense into you." Lita stated.
"I'm sorry…it's just that I guess I'm still a little hurt that he's gone." She sighed. "But I'm trying to forget about that night. I'd like to remember the happier times…don't you think?"
"Yes." Serena added and she gave her a hug. This opened the way for the rest of the scouts to embrace in a group. Sorrow and happiness filled the room.
