Hey there friends, no I haven't forgotten about this fic, it's just
been hectic in my life for the last couple of months. But now I am done
school for the summer, so I hope to have more chapters coming your way in
the next four months. Anyway, here's chapter 14.
Disclaimer: do I really have to do this? You already know all this. Fine, I don't own Sailor Moon, happy? I do own Lara, Sol and Solostaran, however. So there, I'm done.
Chapter 14: Realizations
Renee walked through the house, wondering what Pegasus could have meant by what he had said to her. What could he mean by saying she wasn't the same anymore? She hadn't changed all that much from the last time they had spoken, had she? No, that's silly. But what could he have meant?
Renee walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth. First she had to find her toothbrush. *Where did Serena put my toothbrush now? Oh! There it is, right where I left it. I guess I can't blame Serena this time.* Then she smeared toothpaste over the bristles and started brushing. The minty taste of the toothpaste always helped Renee to wake up. *Spit. Then rinse.* Renee put her toothbrush away and got out her hairbrush. (Actually, it was Serena's hairbrush, but that's okay.) She started to brush her hair, and as she did, she noticed that it had a slightly different texture to it. Then she hit a knot and she looked up into the mirror to try to locate the knot. When she saw what was in the mirror, she forgot about the knot.
For a moment she was too shocked to do anything, then, "Who dyed my hair!?!?!?"

Tiger's Eye ran through the streets, searching for anyone who looked even remotely like Lara or the white-haired guy who had taken her. So far, he had had very little luck in his search. Not many girls had hair the colour and length of Lara's, and he had yet to find any man with even a passing semblance to the white-haired guy.
Ever since realizing that he might be experiencing the emotion that humans call love, Tiger had been obsessed with finding Lara and telling her exactly how he felt. He knew, somehow, that they were just meant to be together, even if that seemed impossible at the moment.
"Why can't I find her? Now that I know what she means to me, she's gone. Why didn't I realize it sooner?" Tiger's Eye stared sightlessly into the crowd, wishing that autumn coloured hair would flow in the wind before him. He closed his eyes and a single tear escaped between his lids.
His eyes snapped open as he felt a flare of power a little ways to his right. *that's her, I know it!* Tiger's eye sped off in the direction of the blazing energy.

"I don't know" Serena replied to her distraught sister. "We didn't even know about you and our brothers until just a few weeks ago. But we're going to find them, just like we found you."
"Actually, I think that Lara kind of found us instead Serena." Rei whispered in a sarcastic tone in her princess' direction. Serena just stuck her tongue out at Rei.
"Well, we had better start looking. If I remember correctly, Staran hasn't been on the Sun throne in a very long time, and that means that our kingdom has not been governed since the time of the Silver Millennium." Lara said, returning to her casual clothes once again.
"What happens if we can't find Staran?" Lita asked.
"Then I must go and sit for him and govern this kingdom, until such time as our brother is found. A descendant of the royal family of the Sun must sit on the throne, and since I'm the only other child of the Sun kingdom, I would have to take on that responsibility." Lara replied, a sad look crossing her face.
Serena walked over and put her arm around her sister. "Don't worry, we'll find our brothers!" She exclaimed, with more confidence than she actually felt.
"Thanks Serena." Lara whispered, a small smile coming over her lips.
A crash was heard coming from the other room, where the generals were, and everyone turned to look in that direction. Every scout and Darien all got into defensive fighting poses, ready to face whatever new threat came through the door.
There was no sound of fighting or struggle from the adjoining room, so the scouts relaxed just the slightest bit, but they stayed in formation in front of Lara. A figure moved into the doorway and the scouts got ready to fight. But before anyone could stop her, Lara was running toward the figure in the shadows of the doorway.
"Tiger!" Lara shouted happily.
She ran straight into his open arms. He enfolded her in a tight embrace, burying his face in her hair. He didn't care that the scouts were all standing there, in fact he didn't even notice them. He was just so happy to have found this woman who was slowly teaching him what it was to love.
Lara moved back slightly so she could see his eyes, and she gasped at what she saw there. She had seen him look tenderly at her before, but now his eyes were shining, and a smile was plastered on his face. Then he brought his mouth close to her ear and whispered words that made her heart soar. "I love you Lara, I always have."

Renee stared into the mirror. She still couldn't believe shat she was seeing. Her hair was blonde, like her mother's. What was happening to her? *I guess this is what Pegasus meant when he said I had changed. But why did I change?*
Well that's it for this chapter, hope to see you soon in my next chapter. Anyway, as always, R&R please.
