Destiny?
The next week went by fairly quickly and normally. Lara spent it getting to know Serena and the others better. The scouts were only needed once to "fight off" Fish Eye, I say "fight off" because, again, there was no fighting involved. The only thing that wasn't normal about this week was that Serena and Darien had a big fight.
At this time (7:00 PM) Serena and her friends, including Lara, were at Mina's house. Her parents weren't in because they were out for dinner and a movie.
"So Serena, what happened between you and Darien today?" Mina asked gently.
"Yeah Serena, what were you guys fighting about?" Lita asked, with a little more force than Mina had.
Serena looked at her friends, tears welling up in her eyes. "I don't really know. We were just sitting together, just like any other time, then he said something, I don't really remember what, but it made me so mad! We started arguing about everything that we had never agreed on, and suddenly we were telling each other that we didn't even know why we were together, and I got so mad at him, and at myself, that I left."
"Serena, how could you?" Rei said scathingly. "The two of you are destined to be together, you should be able to get through anything together. Why didn't you just apologize, then destiny will be on track."
Lara looked up from petting Sol. "Destiny isn't decided by anyone but the person, or people, involved. If Serena and Darien decide that they either don't love each other anymore, or just don't think that their love is strong enough to endure the trials ahead of them, then they should be able to decide that they don't want to destroy their lives in a relationship that they will both come to regret."
"But you don't understand Lara, they really are destined to be together. Trust me, we know." Rei said, transferring her venom from Serena to Lara.
"I still say that Serena should be able to decide how her life should go. If she can't do that, then where does free will, granted by Kami, go to?" Lara asked, looking directly at Rei.
No one had an answer to that; they all shifted uncomfortably as they realized the truth in what Lara said.
An hour later the rest of the girls went home. As Serena left, something else occurred to her: What about Renee?

Tiger's Eye shifted in his sleep. There was something that wanted to get through to his consciousness, but since he couldn't dream, it couldn't take on a meaningful state. So, instead it just woke him up.
"What was that?" Tiger's Eye whispered. "I remember something from a long time ago, but it's so fuzzy, I'm not really sure what it is. It has something to do with Lara though, that much I do know. I haven't seen her in a week, maybe if I see her again, I'll remember."
The feeling of urgency that had disturbed Tiger's Eye's sleep dissipated and he was able to go back to a dreamless sleep. After planning on meeting Lara the next day that is.

Luna was sitting on Serena's bed waiting for her to get home when Diana walked into the room.
"Why aren't you with Renee, Diana?" Luna asked her future daughter.
"Oh, mother. I really need to talk to you and father! It's really important." Diana looked really worried, especially for a kitten, which generally has no worries at all.
"All right Diana, just let me e-mail your father." Luna went over and turned on Serena's computer. She sent an e-mail to Artemis' e-mail address: hotty_kitty@hotmail.com. Luna sent her message asking Artemis to come to Serena's house and waited for an answer from him. Artemis must have been on the internet because he replied almost immediately; Luna's e-mail address was pretty_kitty@hotmail.com.
By the time Artemis got to the Tsukino house Serena had already gone to bed and was fast asleep.
"What took you so long Artemis?" Luna asked, giving him a look that could have killed.
"I got chased all over town by some mangy alley dog. I, personally, am surprised I got here as quickly as I did!" Artemis replied, looking pretty proud of himself.
"Well, at least you're here now so we can hear what Diana needs to say to us."
So the two cats went inside to find Diana on the couch in the living room. She had been sleeping, since it was past her bedtime. When her parents entered the room she woke up and immediately resumed looking worried.
"So, what's wrong Diana?" Artemis asked his future daughter.
Instead of answering, Diana asked another question to both of her parents, "Have you found Serenity's sister yet?"
The two older cats looked startled, then they remembered that their daughter had seen Serenity's sister in the future, and so would know what this sister looked like. They also remembered how quiet Diana had been after they met Lara.
Luna was the first to recover from her shock. "Is Lara Serenity's sister Diana?"
"Yes, she is. But this just doesn't seem right." Diana now looked confused as well as worried.
"What do you mean Diana?" Artemis asked.
"I'm not sure that I can tell you. I'm sorry, but I'll have to ask Setsuna first before I tell you why I'm worried. One thing I can tell you is that there is another sun cat like Sol. I don't know where she is, but she exists. Now I need to go to bed and dream so I can ask Setsuna about what to do."
As Diana was walking up the stairs to Renee's room, where she slept, the two older cats thought they heard her say something.
It sounded like "This isn't the way it was supposed to happen." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
