She's Back! She's Bold!…And, She's Finally Home
Diana Crescent
Chapter Four: A Heart Felt Loss
Serena was sitting on the coach watching Sammy play his video game. She had given up on her book over thirty minutes ago. It was fun watching Sammy get creamed.
Their parents had gone out over two hours ago to an office party at their dad's work.
The doorbell rang, bringing them out of their hypnosis. Serena got up to get the door and was followed by Sammy.
Two police officers were on the other side.
"Ms. Tsukino?"
"Yes?" She asked.
"There was a traffic accident about an hour ago. Your parents were involved."
"Oh God, are they alright?"
"I'm sorry. They didn't make it."
Tears began to pour down her face. She put an arm around Sammy. "What happened?"
"They were driving when someone on a red motorcycle drove in front of them, causing your father to hit his breaks. Your parents were then hit from behind, making them go forward into the flow of traffic. They were hit by a semi. The person on the motorcycle drove away, laughing."
Her heart began to ache. "Did the license plate on the red motorcycle say 'T-Mask'?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
"I gave my ex-boyfriend that license plate. It had to have been him."
"Do you know where we could reach him at this time?"
"His name is Darien Chiba. He's working right now. He works in a law firm, Cowan and Son."
"Thank you. Is there anyone that you would like us to call so you won't e alone?"
"No, we'll call them. Thank you."
"No, thank you. You have our deepest sympathies."
Serena closed the door and looked at the crying Sammy.
"Well, I better go call the girls. I don't know what to say or think."
"What am I going to do Serena? You're leaving in a week and mom and dad are…gone."
Serena bent her head down. She felt awful. Even if it wasn't by blood, he was still her baby brother and she loved him very much, even if she never showed it. "You're just going to have to come with us."
"What?" He asked, not sure if he heard her right.
"I love you Sammy. You'll always be my little brother and I love you. I don't want anything to happen to you. Plus, with Darien on the loose, you'll be safer with me. You're coming with us."
"Is that allowed?"
"Even if it isn't, rules are made to be broken."
Sammy looked at her. He would never admit it, but he had always looked up to her because of her kind heart and easy to love personality. "Thank you."
"No thanks required baby brother."
Sammy smiled and knew that he would be ok.
Serena went to the phone and called Trista. She told her, not that Trista didn't already know, what had happened and that Sammy would be joining them.
"I know. I already told the Gods that he would be coming as well. As will Darien."
"WHAT!?!?!?!?!"
"He has a destiny there as well. His destiny is gruesome." (A/N: YES!!!! SERVES THE BASTERD RIGHT!)
"Well, I suppose, but that's not going to stop me OR Sammy from killing or hating him."
"I'm not asking you to stop. You won't have to worry about him for very long." Trista said mysteriously.
"What do you mean?"
"You shall see. Don't let it worry you, I'll be there later. I'll call the others. Just be with Sammy for now. He needs you."
They had been sitting on the coach for hours, just talking about old times. Luna had been asleep upstairs when the police officers came, so when she came down and saw them talking, laughing, and crying, she nearly had a heart attack.
"Luna, come here." Serena said, after she saw her guardian.
"What has happened Serena?"
"Darien killed mom and dad. He did it on purpose. Trista said that he would be accompanying us to my home, but that his destiny there would be short and gruesome, meaning, he's probably going to make Trieze mad, or get in Amara's way, which ever happens first."
"Oh dear. Are you alright Sammy darling?" Luna asked. She had gotten closer to the boy over the years, and cared deeply for him, like she would her own child.
Sammy was still surprised to hear a cat talking, but he quickly got over it. "Yeah, I will be. Serena said that I can come with all of you."
"Of course you can! Darien's going to have more trouble with me and Artemis than he will with Amara and your brother combined."
Serena smiled and then sniffed. "Sammy, do you really want to come with us? You can stay here if you want."
"Of course I want to come, but I'm not sure what to expect. What sort of stuff do they have there?"
"Let's see, they have colonies up in space…they're extremely high tech. Amy's going to be in heaven when she sees their computers and things. She's absolutely going to love it."
"What are we going to do when we get there?"
"We could get jobs…we're going to have to. You and Hotaru will be going to school. Trista told me that she has kept up my accounts and she has an apartment there, so we can all live there. She's probably got a plan for all of us. I'll ask her when she gets here.
The scouts arrived shortly, bombarding Serena and Sammy with hugs, kisses, and tears.
When they all got settled down, Serena finally asked Trista: "Do you have a plan for us? I mean, what are we going to do when we get there?"
"I've got that all figured out. I talked the gods into letting me go and get us all situated. Sammy, Hotaru, you two will be going to a private school. I'll fill you in on their history later, so you won't be totally lost in that class. Amara, you're going to have a job repairing Gundam, which are fighting suit for the armies. Michelle, you will be teaching art classes at Sammy and Hotaru's school. I will be a scientist for the government. Mina, you will also be teaching, along with Michelle. You will be teaching drama. Raye, you will be the physical education teacher. Lita, you will be the home economics teacher. Amy, you will be the librarian. Seyia, Taiki, and Yaten will carry on being a rock group. I've already got an audition scheduled for you. Serena, you will be a secretary for the Protectors. Your boss will be the five Gundam pilots, as well as Millardo Peacecraft, you remember Millardo?"
"Yeah, he and Trieze were practically attached at the hip. If one was there, the other wasn't too far behind."
Trista shook her head. "Yep. Now, I suppose you're all wondering about Darien, and why he's going to be coming. That's what I don't really know: why the gods want me to change his fate. It seems that he is to be punished for giving you so much pain, as well as breaking the code of a protector of earth: never harm an innocent."
"So they have chosen to destroy him another way?" Hotaru asked.
"So it seems. I'm not allowed to revile much. But I can tell you that he will not be with us long."
"How long until we leave?" Sammy asked.
"We will leave after the funerals. You must prepare things for them, do you want our help?"
"Yes, thank you." Serena and Sammy said at the same time.
The next hour was spent discussing songs and pictures that would be used at the funerals.
Darien wasn't a happy camper when he found out that the police had been looking for him.
He had ditched his bike at the city dump and had told them that it hadn't been in the parking lot when he came down from his apartment that morning. He said that he'd figured that one of his friends, who just so happened to have a copy of his keys, might have needed it and borrowed it for some reason or another, that's why he didn't file it to be stolen.
The police hadn't had much to go on, other than the fact that he truly didn't have his bike, and that no one had seen him with it all day.
"Stupid Serena…had to recognize my license plate."
The officers hadn't said anything about it being her that had recognized it, but he knew. She was the only one who knew it.
He looked at his answering machine that he had neglected to check. It was blinking. He pressed the button, making the messages start.
The first was from Andrew, telling him that the officers had come by. The second was from Julie, another one of his many girlfriends. The last was from Trista, which had surprised him a great deal.
"Darien, the scouts and I are traveling to another dimension to stop Queen Beryl, who has been reborn there. We're going to need your help. We will be leaving next week. Also, Sammy will be coming with us, he will play an important role in all of this. He knows everything. Oh, and before I forget, the starlights are here."
Darien sighed. It seemed that they didn't know about him and Serena. He would have to keep Seyia away from his Serena.

Hope you all liked it. It's out faster than I thought it would be. I'm trying to hurry so I can get them into the Gundam dimension.
