Chapter 6

Stepping back onto the green grass of Temple, they were no longer the Sailor Scouts but Serena, Raye, Amy, Mina, Lita, and Terence. Serena recognized the area as the ground of the Cherry Hill Temple. "Bye," Serena said. She walked away towards the temple. Serena walked down the stairs, and started running towards home.
"What do you think's going on with Serena?" Raye asked.

"She just lost Darien," Lita said. "Knowing Serena, that's enough to cause a nervous breakdown."

"I hope she's okay," Amy said, looking through the trees that Serena had just run through.

Terence felt a stab of pain. She's not okay, Terence thought. I can feel it. Is this what they mean by twins being telepathic or something? He shook his head to clear his thoughts. "I have to get going," Terence said.

"Bye," the four girls said.

Terence nodded, and started to walk away from the group. Serena, he thought. Don't do anything drastic. Please.

After a few minutes, Serena stopped running and leaned up against a wall, trying to catch her breath. "Darien," she whispered, looking up at the cloudless sky. "I didn't mean it. I didn't." She knew that she was going to cry. Quickly, she wiped her eye with her sleeve and took off for home once again.

Once home, Serena called out for her mother, father, and last but not least her brother, Sammy.

"Serena?" a familiar voice said.

"Sammy!" Serena cried. She ran up the stairs and towards her brother's room. Sammy was sitting on the floor playing a video game.

"Hey, Serena," he said, as if nothing at all had happened.
"Sammy, I'm going out for a while," Serena said. "See ya."

"Bye, Serena," he said. Serena walked away from her brother's doorway and walked towards her parent's room. After making sure that no one was inside, she opened the door, entered the room, and shut the door behind her. Looking around, she spotted her father's wallet on the dresser. She opened it, took sixty-five dollars out and her father's VISA. Serena also took her father's cell phone from the shelf, wondering why he left it home and dialed.

"Hello?" an unfamiliar voice said. "Tokyo International Airlines."

"Hello, this is Mrs. Tsukino," Serena said, trying to imitate her mother's voice. "I would like a one way trip for one to America." Serena waited for a few minutes while the other person checked on the computer. After a while, the voice replied, "A flight is open for ten today."

"Perfect," Serena said. She thanked the woman, and hung up. Quickly, she left her parents' room and went to her own. Opening the dresser drawer, she took out her wallet and passport then shut the drawer and left her room. Quietly, she sneaked down the stairs and out the door.

Outside, she looked at her watch. It was four-thirty. If she left now, she would be able to be at the airport in enough time for her flight. Serena walked off in the direction of the airport.
