FINALLY HOME

Chapter Forty-Two: Explanations and More
Thank you all for waiting and reviewing. You all mean a lot to me and I honestly do try to write, but it is very hard now that school is back in session, especially with all AP classes.
Thank you for waiting patiently. . . or even not so patiently. Anyway, thank you for waiting.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Serena sat in Quatre's library with the others, waiting on the boys to get there. They were all very nervous, so nervous that they couldn't keep still. Serena was bouncing her leg, Amy was constantly cleaning her glasses, Raye was picking her a her nails, Lita was straightening her skirt, Mina was twisting her hair, Amara was walking back and forth in front of the window, Michelle was wringing a handkerchief in her hands, Trista was staring out the window while humming, Hotaru was looking at different books, and Lucretia and Maurimaya were both biting at their fingernails.
The door opened and a little girl walked in. "Hello." She said sweetly, surprising them all out of their revere.
Serena smiled at her. "Hello. What's your name?"
"I'm Adriana. You must be Serena. My uncle Heero's in love with you."
Serena blushed and everyone smiled and giggled. "Is he?"
"Oh yes! He's got a picture of you in his wallet. I really wish that you would talk to him."
Serena smiled at her. "That's what I'm here for."
Adriana smiled. "That's good. I mean, all he wanted to do was find his family."
Serena's eyebrows knitted together. "What do you mean?"
"He wanted to find us. He'd always been told that we were dead, but he found out that we were alive and he wanted to find us. He saved us from monsters too."
The girls stopped breathing. Their hearts burned for a minute as the guilt weld up into them. They couldn't help but feel sorrow for what they had done.
Serena hugged the girl to her. "You are a very special little girl, did you know that? You helped a lot of hurt feelings change just now." Serena kissed her head gently.
"Would you kiss Chester too? He's my pony."
Serena giggled. "Hello Chester! Would you like a kiss too? You would!" Serena kissed the toy pony on the head and hugged Adriana tighter.
Just then, the door opened and all the boys walked in. Adriana smiled at the surprised Heero, kissed Serena's cheek and walked out with Chester in her arms.
Serena stood up, tears clouding her vision. "You really should get her a pony." She said brokenly, her voice barely working.
Heero stepped toward her, but Serena held up her hand to stop him. "Before you say anything, Adriana told us. Heero. . .I'm. . .I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't know, and I know that I can never make it up to you, I know that we can never make how we acted up to any of you. I'm so sorry."
All of the girls were crying, their hands shaking for the force that their silent sobs were wracking their lithe and delicate bodies.
Before any of they could say anything else, they were all wrapped up in the arms of their beloved, sealing their fates for all time.
'I love you' were exchanged over and over again as their relationships were patched up.
However, before anybody could say anything else, Serena's communicator went off.
"Rini?"
"Mom, Wise Man's started. I need your help, like. . .now."
"Where are you?" Heero asked, taking the communicator from Serena.
"Um. . .park." She said, surprised to see him on the communicator.
Amy's eyebrows knitted together gently. "Why do they always attack the park?"
"Lots of people?" Duo suggested.
"There has to be something else. There's a lot more people in a mall, or even a gym. There has to be some special reason." She whispered.
Serena sighed. "We don't have time! Rini needs help! We'll discuss it later!" She said and ran towards the balcony, jumping from it and doing a double-spin back flip before landing gracefully on her feet.
"DUDE!" Duo shouted, running to see Serena speed off. "THAT WAS SO COOL!"
"Shut up Maxwell." Wufei said, rubbing his temples. He didn't want Raye to fight, not so soon after she was healed. If the truth be known, he didn't want her fighting at all.
"WHATEVER! You know that was awesome Wu-man!!"
"Braided-baka!" He mumbled. An image of Meilan dying jumped into his mind.
Raye saw his eyes grow distant and she knew what he was thinking of. ~I will carry on your memory Meilan. I will fight in your place. I know now that Wufei will never be mine, no matter how hard I try. He loves you.~
He eyes grew cold and sad. She looked at the balcony and smiled, knowing she would welcome the flight.
She ran towards the open space, did a round off before kicking off the ledge spinning many times, only to land just as gracefully as Serena.
Mina saw the look in Raye's eyes and felt her heart grow heavy with the sorrow plainly written on her dear friend's face.
She ran to the ledge, knowing she had to leave and fight, and was quickly joined by Lita, who winked at her. They both smiled and did a round off, perfectly in sync with the other. They flipped over the edge and doing full back flips to land at the exact same time.
"We don't have time to show off." Amy said and simply jumped off the ledge, doing a very nice flip before landing.
Trista, Amara, Michelle, and Hotaru rolled their eyes. They simply jumped off the ledge, landing gracefully and quickly sprinting towards the park.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The scouts all stood in front of a very large yoma, protecting the people from the sticky and VERY poisonous spider's webs it kept shooting.
Amy was scanning for weaknesses when a large energy force caught her monitor. She could tell that it was definitely under ground, but didn't know what it was.
A weakness suddenly beeped on her scanner before she could study it more. "LEFT ELBOW!" She shouted.
"MARS FLAME SNIPER!" Raye aimed, trying to blow off some of her anger and sadness before she had to face Wufei again. Her arrow hit its target perfectly sending the yoma to the spot Mercury was trying to scan.
~Dang it Raye!!---WHOA!! Never mind!! BLESS YOU!!~
The yoma knocked a hole in the ground reviling a hidden chamber, sort of a cavern almost.
The yoma was quickly up, recharged and even better than before.
"What on earth?" Raye whispered.
"There was an energy field there! Apparently, it recharged him. I don't know why though."
"Let's tango ugly!" Mina said, wrapping her chains around him and swinging him against a tree a few yards away.
"I'll check it out Mercury!" Lucretia said, running up from where the boys had just parked.
"THANKS!" Amy shouted and went to help her friends. "Shine Aqua ILLUSION!"
Lucretia began to follow the tunnel that the monster had made, a dim light guiding her way. When she reached the light, she saw it was coming from some sort of pedestal. She gently touched it cold stone, the light fading when she did so.
"HOLY COW!" Everyone heard Lucretia shout.
"What is it?" Seyia asked from his place not very far away.
"Um. . .I'll tell you later." She said as she looked down at a bright yellow transformation stick. . .with the symbol of Earth in marble, sitting on the top.
"Transform Sailor Earth." A voice on the wind whispered to her.
She took a deep breath before whispering weakly, "Earth Planet Power!"
The stick emitted a powerful and blinding light. Vines shot out from under her feet, surrounding her body and making her body suit. Flower petals encased her hands, calves, feet and twirled around her waist, making her gloves, boots, and skirt. Finally, the symbol of Earth appeared on her forehead and erupted into a burst of golden light, making ribbons that twisted around her body, making the bows, tiara, and a choker. Two small marble, tear-drop earrings appeared at her ears.
Lucretia, now Sailor Earth blushed at the length of the skirt, but quickly shook it off to join her fellow warriors.
Back above ground, the sailors were fighting as hard as they could.
"VINES OF TERRA! ENCASE!" A strange voice shouted.
Vines shot straight from the ground, wrapping around the yoma's body and draining the energy severely.
It looked at the new sailor, which everyone seemed to be gawking at, especially the tall man with the long black ponytail.
"From the Earth you came and back to the earth you will return. From dust you once were and dust you shall be once more!" The voice shouted.
"Lucretia?" Serena mouthed and the new sailor winked and nodded. Serena smiled and gave her thumbs up.
"Let's finish this." The yoma said in its raspy, sickening voice, like nails on a chalkboard.
Serena turned back. "Gladly. MARS! You show this bug what happens when it gets too close to a flame!"
Raye smirked, "MARS CELESTIAL FIRE!!! SURROUND!!"
The spider was trapped, but didn't know what Mars had in store for it next.
"Flame SNIPER!" She shouted, sending the arrow straight through where the heart should have been.
"MOON COSMIC ELIMINATION!!"
Everyone clapped as the girls sped away.
When they stopped, at their home, everyone began laughing. "Welcome, Sailor Earth." Serena said, hugging her friend gently.
Raye smiled, but tears flooded her eyes. She quickly left after kissing Lucretia's cheek.
Serena looked after her dearest friend. "What's the matter with Raye?"
"Wufei got this weird look in his eyes and Raye just got all sad all of a sudden. It was after you left. I think that Raye thinks that he doesn't love her." Mina said.
"Raye. . .I know he does. . .something's just got him too tied up to see how deeply his feelings run." Serena whispered.
"He lost his wife about six years ago. He was very much in love with her." Lucretia said, not wanting to say it, but knowing it was best that she did.
"Wife?"
"It was an arranged marriage, but he did care for her. She died in battle. After Christmas, Raye came up to me, wanting the whole story about Meilan. Apparently, Meilan's grandfather was at the meeting and he told her about Wufei and Meilan. It hurt her, but she believed that things would be different for them. And apparently, she's seen that Wufei still loves Meilan very deeply. It's hurting her.
Serena looked up to where her friend had gone. Her own heart was breaking for her. "Raye. . ."
