AN: I bet you're all eager to find out what happens, right? Ok. I'll be
quiet now. Enjoy!
Re-cap from chapter 5:
"Raye began with a fire ball. Cosmos dodged, and started her attack. Half way, she stopped and fell to the ground unconscious. Serenity ran to her.
"Cassi!"
Chapter 6: Amends
Serenity fell to her friend's side and cried.
"Please, Cassi, wake up. I know you better than that! You're the only one I can trust, don't leave me!!!!" Serenity cried. Tears were streaming down her face. Everyone present could see the hurt and loss in her eyes. Pluto went to comfort her. When she approached Serenity, a force field surrounded her and Cosmos. Serenity stood up and a bright light engulfed her. When the light faded, instead of Serenity, there stood Sailor Silver Moon. (Cheesy, I know) She wore her normal outfit, but instead of a blue skirt and red bows, she wore an ivory colored skirt and a baby blue bows. In addition, she wore a white outer coat. Her boots were now white, but still full length. Everyone was in awe.
"Serena..." began Tuxedo Mask. She put her hand up. She didn't say anything. She placed her hands on Cosmos' tiara. Her hands began to glow. After a few moments of glowing, Cosmos began to awaken.
"Serena!" Cosmos cried as she wrapped her hands around her. Silver Moon smiled.
"I missed you too. You scared me half to death." She said.
"(whistle) you aren't lookin to bad yourself there," Cosmos said playfully. Then she stood up and faced her opponents.
"This isn't over. Just because I passed out, doesn't mean I can't fight." She spat. Before she could lunge at them, Sailor Silver Moon stopped her.
"I wanna fight too." She smiled.
"What?!" cried the scouts and Tuxedo Mask. They were here to take Serena home, not hurt her.
"Serena, we don't want to fight you," coaxed Mercury.
"Why? Because you might loose?" argued Uranus.
"This doesn't concern you." Said Jupiter.
"Yes it does, Jupiter. They and Pluto were here for me when I was down." Said Silver Moon.
"Fine. Let's fight." Cried Mars. "Five on four, this should be easy." She smiled.
"Let's even the odds." Said Pluto as she walked up behind Silver Moon. So the fight was on. It was a one on one battle. Neptune vs. Mercury, Venus vs. Uranus, Cosmos vs. Mars, Pluto vs. Jupiter, and Silver Moon vs. Tuxedo Mask. Everyone was trying their hardest-except for Tuxedo Mask.
"C'mon, Serena, don't do this." He said as he dodged one of her attacks.
"Why? Because you broke my heart and never explained? Why, Darien? Why? Was I too klutzy, or were you offended by dating a blonde? WHY?!" she cried the last part before falling to her knees and crying uncontrollably. He was about to walk up to her, but a blast stopped him. He looked up and saw who conjured up the blast. It was Sailor Cosmos.
"I swear, Darien Shields, if you touch one hair on my cousin, I will hurt you so bad, you'd wish you were dead." She warned. Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune went to comfort her. Cosmos stood in front to defend Serena from the scouts and Darien.
"Look, we're sorry for having to fight like this. All we wanted was to have our old, cheerful Serena back." Apologized Mars.
"No, we're not, Serena was our friend first, so why don't you just lay off!" spat Jupiter who was now in front.
"You friend first?" you act like Serena's a toy or something." Cosmos argued. Cosmos used her full powers to draw a force field around the outer scouts, Serena and her. Then a light shone and a figure appeared. Everyone bowed. It was Queen Serenity, and Serena and Darien's future selves, Neo- Queen Serenity, and King Endymion. Neo-Queen looked at herself and frowned.
"See, Endy? This wasn't supposed to go that far." She said.
"Well, I only wanted to test their love." He smiled back.
"What is this all about?" asked Tuxedo Mask, who was now Darien again.
"It was Endymion here, who sent those dreams you had a coupe of months ago." Explained Neo-Queen. Sailor Silver Moon was now Serena now.
"Dreams?" she asked.
"You didn't tell her? At least I would have the decency to tell her before breaking up with her." Joked Endymion. Darien just glared at him.
"I can't believe you of all people would do that to me...you...us!" stuttered Darien.
"I just had to test to see if you're love were to undertake a lot of pressure." He explained
"How did we do?" asked Darien.
"Well, you see me and Serenity still together don't you?" he questioned. Darien nodded.
"Anyways, mother, you still haven't told us why you took us here." Pointed Neo-Queen.
"Oh, yes. Well, I've been watching them and things are getting even worse. I mean, Sailor Cosmos is threatening to rip Darien into shreds, (Endymion's face turns pale) and she's fighting the other scouts instead of helping them prepare." She began. Neo-Queen nodded at the scene in front of her. Tattered uniforms, and scars, even a force field. This was getting out of hand. Neo-Queen stepped forward.
"Sailor Cosmos, the one in the future is now best friends with the scouts. Yes, they've done regretful things, but don't you think you should let them explain? Plus, if they really hated Serena, why would they have come all the way here, and put their lives on the line by fighting the wisest and strongest of the Sailor Scouts?" she asked. The she turned to the scouts.
"You guys. You have to understand that Serena and her cousin have a close and special. You know family is the number one thing in Serena's mind. Cassi is like a sister to her. Of course she's going to be protective and even defensive to the people she has close to her heart. Give her time and let her know that all you want is to forget the past and start anew." Lastly, she turned to Darien. Serena looked up.
"Darien, Darien, I know you truly love Serena and still do. But you have to know that what you have between you and Serena is very special and you have to cherish every moment of it. Yes, you did it to protect her, but don't you think your love could last more? Listen, Serena, is one of the most stubborn people, I should know, you are a very arrogant person. You make the best couple. Trust me. It might take awhile, but it'll work out. It always does." Neo-Queen smiled.
"I'm sorry, but the coronation is next week. (AN: I know, the timing is off, but work with me, please?) You don't have much time. Pluto must prepare all of you quickly. Pluto, I think you should start now, so Serenity and Endymion can help. I must return for I cannot continue to stay here long." Said Queen Serenity as she left. As she left, Pluto stood up and faced Serenity and Endymion.
"King, Queen, I might need your help to sort things out." She whispered. The royal couple smiled and nodded.
"Pluto and I will get Serena and them. Endy, can you round up the scouts and Darien?" she asked in a sweet voice.
"Of course." He answered as they parted directions. Endymion walked towards the highly annoyed scouts and Darien.
"Look," he stated, "I want this to run as smoothly as possible and make it quick. So let's just do this cleansing thing. Don't worry, it won't take long." Everyone gave in and walked towards the rest of the scouts and Cassi.
Soon they formed a circle with and Pluto in it. Because Serena and Cassi had already prepared, they were watching. Pluto raised her staff and muttered a few words. Then everyone started to glow. The scouts glowed their respective colors and Darien glowed white. The royal couple stood outside, providing everyone with more energy. Everyone being cleansed could feel new energy arising from within them. It was a new power, awakening from many years of sleep, now that everyone has grown so much and is able to contain and control their true power.
After a few moments of glowing, it began to fade and the cleansing had finished.
"Well, all the preparation is now finished. I think you should all go inside Cassi out and talk things over." Coached Pluto. Everyone nodded their heads.
"We should get going, now that our job is finished." Said Serenity. She walked over to Serena. "I hope everything works out, and bless it be." She whispered the rest. Serena smiled. Serenity walked back to Endymion and they teleported back to the future.
Everyone (that needed to) detransformed and walked inside the huge mansion. Once inside, Cassi led them into the living room. Everyone took a seat and waited for someone to begin talking. No one began to talk. (cricket chirp) Finally Pluto stood.
"This is getting no where, so let's just talk. And no fighting this time." She glared at Cassi.
"About what? Serena left the scouts and Darien and she's now fighting wither to go back or not." Explained Uranus.
"What is there to fight for? Look, Serena, we're sorry for kicking you out of the team. We only did what was best for the scouts and it was to kick you out." Stated Raye.
"Do you really think that just a little 'sorry' will cut it? I mean, Serena's put her life into being a good leader, and she gets kicked out after all she's done for the team? For the world?" argued Cassi.
"Look, you stay out of this. This has nothing to do with you." Cried Lita.
"Yes, it does. Every time we fight, every time I need someone to talk to, Cassi has always been there for me. Yeah, we live in totally different places, but I feel like I can confide in her." Said Serena.
"This is getting no where, and it's obvious that we're not going to settle a score here by doing this, so, Serena, I think it's best that you move back to Japan. It's clear that you want to live back there with your family, friends, and your life as it is. Don't worry about me, we can always talk on the phone, or online." Said Cassi. After finishing that, she walked up to her room with tears flowing through her eyes.
"I guess Cassi wanted you to be so happy that she sacrificed her own desires just so you would be happy. "Said Neptune.
"I should go see her." Said Serena as she got up.
"No, we will. This is our fault. We should've understood how you felt instead of forcing you." Apologized Mina as she stood up as well. It ended up as every one went up to see Cassi. Serena knocked on the door. All they heard was a muffled "Come in." and they walked inside. They found Cassi sitting on her bed. She was crying on her bed softly to herself. Serena sat down next to her to comfort her. Raye kneeled in front of her.
"Cassi, we're really sorry that we said that to you and we didn't realize that the bond between you and Serena was so tight. And for that, I can say for the rest of the Sailor Scouts, we apologize." Cassi looked up.
"Raye, I'm sorry that I jumped to conclusions about you and your relationship between Serena and the rest of the scouts. I can tell that she has very caring friends and a very caring boyfriend." She apologized.
"I know you want me to be happy, but I can't bear the fact of being thousands of miles away from you." Stated Serena.
"Maybe there's a solution." Snickered Trista. Everyone turned to her. "Maybe you all can be together somehow...like Cassi moving to Japan?" she suggested slyly.
"Yes! That would totally work...if, Cassi, you want to." Cried Serena in a happy tone.
"Of course. Then I can see you and how you live your very life. I also want to meet that Andrew you've been talking about so much." She answered.
"It's official. Cassi is moving to Japan with us!" exclaimed Mina.
"Well, if Cassi's gonna live with us, I think she should get to know you guys better." Commented Serena. She got us and slid past Darien, muttering, "Can I see you outside for a sec?" Darien coolly walked outside, to find Serena leaned against a wall. Then he heard the most harshest words in a relationship.
"We...need...to...talk..."
