Chapter Forty-Six: What Are the On?
Wow, this is different. I actually have no homework. YAY! I know it's been like forever, but I've been really stuck on where to go. I hope this makes some of you happier with me.

Serena and Lexi both floated in and out of their conscious minds. Their link stayed strong and though they were still floating in oblivion, they talked continually.
They knew they were in some kind of hospital, they even knew who was in the room. The other sailor scouts and the Gundam crew. They also knew that they had been completely out of it for nearly a month now.
~So, Lexi, how's Thanatos?~ Serena nearly cackled as she felt Lexi's embarrassment.
~I suppose he's fine. I really don't know.~ She whispered, her voice timid.
~Hey, are you getting--~
~A tingly feeling. Yeah. I think that's a summoning from the gods.~
~Okay. What do we do?~
~Wait, they'll get us sooner or later.~
~Okay--~
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"So, let me get this straight----your sending us on a raid?" Serena said.
"Dude!" Lexi shouted and they smiled at each other.
"It's not a raid." Hera said, quickly dousing their hopes.
"No, it's a 'you-two-go-in-there-secretly-and-'" Athena started.
"So it's a mass assassination?" Lexi said, somewhat more elated than with a raid.
"Basically." Hades said.
Serena jumped up and hugged Lexi while they shouted happily together.
"WOOHOO!"
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Heero sat in the chair next to Serena. He hadn't left her side in the past month and a half. And during that time, she hadn't moved.
Serena breathed in deeply, getting a feel for the room and the people in there. It was late in the day. She'd been with the gods longer than she had thought. A few weeks on Mount Olympus had passed like hours. Heero was in the room alone. Lexi was waking up in the bed next door. When had they moved her out? She sent her mind searching the room again. They'd switched rooms. She was no longer in the regular care unit. She was in ICU. Something must have happened when the gods summoned her. But what?
She let out the air slowly and opened her eyes a little, moaning as she did so.
Heero's head snapped up and his eyes shot open. "Serena!"
"Why did you guys move us from the other room?"
He looked at her for a moment. "You're heart flat lined."
"And Lexi?"
"Hers too."
Serena let out a small sound of acknowledgement. She could sense the disappointment in Heero's voice. The disappointment in himself for hurting her enough that she barely noticed that he was there. She took his hand from the bed and squeezed.
Heero slid back into his chair and held her hand like it was the rarest most beautiful gem in the world. "I'm sorry." He whispered.
For the first time in their lives, she saw tears in his eyes and the emotion in his soul and she couldn't deny him. "I know. Just tell me next time something like those dreams happens. I need to know. And NEVER pull a stunt like the other one EVER again."
He laughed and stroked her face. But the door burst open. And Lexi stalked in, one hand behind her, holding her gown closed, the other hand leading an IV pole around.
"Do you have a good mattress?" She asked quietly, kind of pleased with herself for coming in when she knew Serena would light up red like a police light.
Serena was blushing and angry at the same time, but understood. "Only if you have nice pillows."
Lexi looked down. "Hang on.I gotta find out which one I want. My butt in the open or an IV jerked out of my arm. It's a humiliation or pain...I'll go with humiliation."
"Couldn't you hold it until you get in there and then carry it behind you?" Serena asked, trying not to laugh.
"I could, but I can't carry three pillows behind me now can I?"
Heero turned back to Serena after Lexi left and smiled, trying to laugh as well.
"She's a blast." Serena said.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%5
"So, why did you send him away? He makes nice eye candy, even if he is taken." Lexi asked, pouting a little. She waved a hand to get a bug off of her hand.
She had gotten her pillows, ultimately flashing the cameras in the halls, but luckily no one was there. She had scooted so that Serena and Heero didn't have to see her bottom either, though Serena asked for a picture, much to Heero's surprise. Serena's excuse was-"Well, someone's got to make some money of that tush since she won't!" Lexi had cracked up.
"Well, someone has to get us some food and tell the others. Besides that, we have to come up with a plan." Serena said, waving the same bug off of her.
"Oh YEAH! Sorry, forgot."
"It's because you were thinking about Thanatos again. Isn't it?" Serena said, smirking.
"Yeah." Lexi whispered and smiled a little, her eyes glazing over slightly. "Stupid bug!" She shouted, irritated with it getting her out of her daydream. She slammed a cross word puzzle book on it and smashed it, killing it instantly.
"We must really stink if the bugs won't leave us alone." Serena said, smelling herself and feeling how greasy her hair was.
"Well, we have been out of it for a month and a half." Lexi said, cleaning the spot with a Kleenex. She was smirking at Serena's little show.
"Anyway, how're we going to do this?" Serena said, glaring at her and getting back to the topic on hand.
"With Diamond and Sapphire's help of course. And mine." A woman's voice said from the corner.
"Kaori Knight! You were dead! I saw you!" Serena said.
"Dude, you've seen Finding Nemo too many times-you sounded just like Dory." Lexi said.
"I love her!!! Yes, I'm a natural blue." Serena said,
"Sharks eat fish!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" Lexi said, sending them both into peals of laughter.
"Okay, you two need to lay off the morphine." Kaori Knight said.
"So, what brings you here on this fine day to the ICU?" Serena said, mimicking Crush.
"And why are you helping us?"
"Because I loved Hotaru's father and Pharaoh90 killed him."
"So you're doing this for revenge purposes. That's never a good reason. People who are out for revenge always die in the movies." Serena said swinging her body from side to side.
"I know you don't think I can be good, but please trust me. I loved Hotaru's father and I love her like she was my own. I want to protect her and stop them before they try to re-turn her."
"Return her? Who was her sender" Lexi asked.
"Where would they take her?" Serena asked.
"Turn her again. Maybe I should come back when the morphine wears off."
"We're not on morphine, we're naturally stupid." Serena said, before her eyes rolled back into her head and she passed out.
"You know, I don't think this is morphine." Lexi said with slurred words before she too passed out.
Kaori Knight stood there for a moment with her mouth hanging open before she ran to the door and shouted for someone to help.
Hotaru and Amara came running in, but stopping short when they saw Kaori Knight.
"I'll explain later! They need help!"
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Serena sat there, her eyelids heavy. "What happened?"
"What's the last thing you remember?" Amy said, checking her pulse.
"Thinking that we must really stink if the bugs wouldn't leave us alone and something about Finding Nemo." Lexi said, breathing in deeply for Hotaru.
"Guys, it's snowing. No smart bug would be out in this weather." Raye said.
"That's right.it's like..January." Serena said, looking at Heero, but not really seeing him for a moment. She sent a warm smile to him when she focused on who he was.
He smiled back at her. "So, what are the bugs doing here?"
"I think I might be able to answer that. Chaos has yomas that are like flies. They contain a substance that can knock out a sumo wrestler for three hours." Kaori Knight supplied.
"Dude! I gotta yoma and I didn't even know it." Lexi said.
"Sweet!" Serena said.
"Totally!" Lexie said back swaying slightly.
"NO!! No more Finding Nemo!" Serena said, shaking her head.
"That's right! Cuz Nemo was found!" Lexi said. She sat there for a minute. Everyone was staring at them oddly. "We need a new movie."
"Welcome to the Caribbean luv!" Serena said, mimicking CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow.
"I love that MOVIE!!! Johnny Depp is SSSOOO hott!! If I wasn't completely in love with Thanatos and he didn't have two kids, I'd so marry him."
"Skraight up!" Serena said.
"That's from Juwanna Mann!" Lexi said, disapprovingly.
Serena smiled. "Juwanna man?"
"I wanna man. Juwanna man?"
"I gotta man." She said, doing a floppy thing with her arm so it was pointing slightly left of Heero.
"Looks like I'm all by me onsies."
"No, there's always the rum." Serena said lightly in a consoling manner.
Lexi cracked up like an egg.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Lexi looked at the clock. It was five in the morning and they were finally alone. "So, what are we going to do and how are we going to get out of here without them noticing?"
Serena was sitting there humming. "-And really bad eggs. Huh? What?"
"Back to our master plan."
"Oh yeah!!! Okay, we need guns with silencers, all black body suits, walkie- talkie thingies, and a really cool theme song."
"Could we wear sunglasses and have that one song 'I wear my sunglasses at night'?"
"YES!! I like that idea."
"Ohhh, we're gonna need gas that knocks people out." Lexi said.
"So eat some beans."
"You went to far with that." Giving her a half-mom's slightly angry with your wording and half disgusted look.
"Sorry." Serena said, having the decency to look sincere about it for all of two seconds before she started up again. "We could prolly jeck some from Mari."
"Don't you mean 'jack'?"
"Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow." Serena said in the most serious manner.
They both went into peals of laughter.
"They prolly all think we're crazy." Lexi said, holding her side from the laughter.
"They never knew you and I are the best of friends. They are only getting a taste of what you and I are like together."
"They are probably going to have us committed."
"No, even the nut huts wouldn't want us."
"Would the banana nut huts want us?"
"Maybe." Serena said giggling.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"What on earth were they on?" Hotaru asked Trista as they watched the girls sleep through the next day.
"Actually, that's the way they used to act when they were around one another. They could talk all day about absolutely nothing. Actually they spent two weeks on a conversation on cheese."
"That's a weird friendship." Taiki said.
"No. That's the best kind to have. If you can talk to them about nothing, then you can talk to them about something. They were on each other's level at every moment and you can see a sister-ship with them." Raye said quietly, holding Wufei's hand.
"Not to mention it takes a lot of love to voluntarily share a bed with Serena." Luna said, looking at the way they were both sprawled out.
"You know, if you guys are going to be in here, we're going to have to ask you all to shut up and stop picking on us." Lexi yawned out.
"Or at least stop picking on us." Serena mumbled.
But they both drifted back into sleep, contemplating and designing their plan of attack together in the world of dreams.
