Nightmare Cascade

In the room that Chichi had lent to Amera and Serenity a light was still lit and two voices were talking in a tone no higher than a whisper.

"Serenity are you alright?" Amera looked at her with worry in her eyes. She head been more quiet than usual ever since their supper with the Sons.

"Yes. I'm fine." Was the answer she was given. She moved over to Serenity who was lying on the bed facing the wall with her left arm under her head and her right arm in front of her. Amera lay down next to her and rested her head on Serenity's shoulder and wrapped her right arm around Serenity's stomach. Serenity knew she couldn't hide anything from her so she sighed and told her the memory she and Vageta envisioned. After Serenity had told her she had somehow landed with Amera laying on her back and Serenity's head on her chest.

"So your mother knew about Seiyans and never told us?"

"I guess so. But why wouldn't she tell us?"

"I'm not sure. Let's not contemplate on it anymore and try and get more sleep. Goku said that the opponents get harder in the tournament."

"Alright." Serenity sat up and crawled to the edge of the bed. She went to take off her shirt, but remembered that they were the only clothes she had. So she stopped in mid action and heard Amera giggle. Serenity looked behind her stuck out her tongue.

"Ha-ha, very funny. I forgot we didn't have extra clothes with us." She turned to face Amera and crawled over to her again. Amera turned off the lamp and they crawled under the covers and Amera held onto Serenity. Before Amera fell asleep she kissed Serenity on her forehead and snuggled closer to her.

Amera groaned in her sleep as she watched Serenity fall into abyss. She reached out her hand to grab for her but missed and fell into it as well. She screamed as she could see Serenity's face twisted in horror and move further away from her. She was going to lose her queen, her friend, her love. The same young girl you stole her heart when the Heart Snatchers had attacked her. She was going to be alone. The darkness enclosed around her and she felt a heaviness descend upon her heart as she watched Serenity fall away from her; her hair waving in front of her. Serenity's arms were outstretched trying to reach out to Amera. Amera could see Serenity screaming a silent scream. She screamed Serenity's name seconds before she was swallowed by the darkness.

Amera's eyes shot open and she panted softly. She whispered Serenity's name and turned to look for her. Serenity lay next to her asleep. She was facing Amera with her hands in front of her face and her hair strewn behind her. Her face showed sweet softness and at the same time sorrow. Amera looked at her and sighed. She lifted her hand softly moved her silver hair out of Serenity's closed eyes.

Amera then realized that she herself was damped with cold swept. She bent down and kissed the young queen's forehead and then quietly moved to the edge of the bed. She crept out and over to the door. She opened it softly and slinked out into the hallway trying hard not to wake her partner. She closed the door gently behind her and headed for the bathroom to clean herself up. As she walked into the bathroom a few doors down, she switched the light on and closed the door. She turned and faced the mirror. Her reflection stared sadly back at her and she could see the sadness in her eyes and the pain. She was scared that her dream might come true and she didn't want it to. She wasn't going to lose her, not this time. She had lost her in many other battles and wars. There were too many times to think about and she was not going to allow another. This world needed her; she needed her.

'Am I being selfish on wanting her?' No she loved her and love was never selfish, she would die before she would let Serenity give up her life. Everyone and everything need her touch; the sky, the earth, the people, the plants, and the animals. Her love is what made Earth and the Moon flourish and thrive. Amera bent her head and repeated the prayer she said every time something really scared her.

"God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I can not change...the Courage to change the things I can...and the Wisdom to know the difference." Amera looked back up and then back down again. She turned the faucet on again and put her hands in the water and she bent forward splashing water on her face. She repeated it about three more times and then turned the water off and grabbed for a towel and dried her face. She returned the towel to the rack and turned around and returned to the room.

As she climbed back into the bed she noticed that the blankets had fell from Serenity's shoulders and that she was shivering from the cold. Amera grabbed the blankets and pulled them up again. As Amera's fingers touched her skin, she had a vision.

Serenity dressed in her Cosmos form stood fighting a dark shadow that was lingering about ten feet away from her. Cosmos lifted her hand in the air and shouted her attack.

"COSMIC METEOR STRIKE!" Hundreds of energy balls formed around her body and suddenly flew to the shadow. They then blasted into the shadow's body and began to explode. The shadow pierced the air and slowly fell to the ground. Cosmos panted slowly, her body was tarnished and scratched and she was bleeding from multiple of places.

Amera moved her hand away from Serenity's body and halted the vision. As she was in shock she realized she absorb Mars's and Pluto's powers while Serenity had taken Venus's. Amera looked back down at her partner and wondered what that vision was about and when it would happen, but she could keep it in her mind for very long because sleep took her in seconds.
