Chapter 8
DC: I don't own Sailor Moon
Amy stayed at Serena's for the day. She had to call off work, and hoped that something bad didn't happen, which was something big to hope for. She stayed on the couch, and Serena checked on her so often.
Serena herself was real tired. So after one check up on Amy, she went to go lay down.
She soon fell asleep and had a disturbing dream.
Serena was on the moon, and it looked so different. It didn't have its special glow, and war was all over. She ran around the castle, and found her people, and others, fighting. With each other, and other people, from other planets.
Even the Generals from the Moon fought.
She turned and saw someone run into one of her rooms. She followed that person, and found she was going toward where she kept her Imperium Silver Crystal.
"Stop!" Serena cried. The lady turned around. She gasped. It was the Flute Player. The Flute Player grabbed the Crystal. The room filled with light, as Serena watched the crystal turn black.
"Little Moon will die!" The flute Player screeched. Serena was blinded by another wave of bright light, and blacked out.
Serena woke up, in cold sweat. She felt sick, and hurried to the bathroom.
She emptied her stomach, and leaned against the wall. Was that what happened on the moon? Or what could happen? She rested her hands on her stomach.
'Little moon…is that Rini?' Serena asked herself.
She picked herself off the floor, and went to her sink. She washed her mouth out, and wiped her face. She wouldn't let this information seep out to Rini. She needed time alone to talk to Amy and Darien.
--------
A couple days have passed, and there were no new signs of monsters. Amy has stayed at Serena's place, recovering, and talking to Serena about the enemy. Rini has accepted that Amy is now on their side, and could talk freely to her again.
One day the outer scouts, excluding Hotaru because she was with Rini, came over.
"How are you doing, Serena?" Amara asked, as they took off their shoes.
"Well, a lot has happened, and luckily Darien and Amy are here, to talk about it." Serena replied.
"Amy is here?" Michelle asked. Serena nodded.
"Don't worry, she changed sides." She said.
She took them to the table, where Amy and Darien sat waiting.
"All right, so what's been happening?" Trista asked.
"Well, we have concluded that our enemy wants to kill Rini." Amy said.
"Kill her?" The three outer scouts asked. Amy nodded.
"I found a note, I've also been having dreams. My last one made the decision that the Flute Player wants Rini dead." Serena said.
There was an odd silence. Everyone thought over what Amy and Serena said. Finally Amara spoke up.
"What should we do?"
"We can't let Rini out of our sight, until we find out more information on this Flute Player." Darien said.
The six of them agreed. They were not to tell Rini, even though she was a fellow scout, and they had to watch over her.
--------
Rini, Hotaru, and Sheena went to the arcade after school. Hotaru hadn't been in the arcade for a long time, and Sheena had never stepped foot in it.
"What's this game?" Sheena asked. She pointed to a game in the corner. Rini knew this was the Sailor V game, but also the system that transferred information to them, from the moon.
"It's called Sailor V! I can never beat it though…" Rini said. Sheena pulled out some money, and sat in the seat. Hotaru looked at all the games, but spotted something, or someone, else.
"Rini look!" Hotaru said.
Rini turned to see a boy. She'd seen him many times at school, but never talked to him. He was tall, and had spiky black hair. He looked more like a Goth, with a pierced lip. Rini knew that wasn't her type, but she could see Hotaru blush. Rini smiled, and nudged her.
"Go on! Go on!" Rini said. Hotaru stumbled a big, and blushed more.
"Oh, Hotaru your all flushed!" Sheena called from her game.
"N-No I'm not!" Hotaru stammered. Rini gave her a little shove, and Hotaru started to walk over.
Sheena watched as Hotaru went, shakily over, to the boy. Rini looked at Sheena's screen, and found she won the game.
"Hey! How did you beat that?" She asked. Sheena shrugged, and pointed toward Hotaru. Rini looked up, and saw Hotaru talking a little nervously to the boy. The boy looked quite nervous also.
"Aww…They must like each other!" Rini whispered.
The boy had written something on a piece of paper, and handed it to her. Hotaru smiled, and excitedly came back to them.
"You got his number?" Sheena asked. Hotaru nodded, and the three of them giggled. Hotaru looked at Sheena's screen.
"Hey how did you beat that game? Usually no one can!" She asked.
"I have no idea. I just played through!" Sheena said. Rini and Hotaru sighed. There was no way they'd ever come close to beating that game.
They played some more, and Hotaru and Sheena got to know each other, and they liked each other. Rini thought this was good. At least if they had to go anywhere, together, it wouldn't be awkward.
It was getting dark; Sheena said she had to go to work. Hotaru and Rini were left alone, at the arcade.
"So what are we going to do?" Hotaru asked.
"Well it's getting cold…I suppose Michelle, and everyone is over Serena's, so lets just go." Rini said.
Hotaru agreed, and they left the arcade.
Hotaru felt happy to have met Sheena, but something wasn't right about her. And that something felt big, and bad.
--------
Sheena entered her apartment. Sure she liked being home, in her own enclosed place, but not lying to Rini and Hotaru.
"I see your home."
Sheena ignored the floating spirit, and sat on her coach. She laid her head on the couch arm, and closed her eyes.
The spirit floated over to the arm of the couch, and hung her head above Sheena. Sheena felt very uncomfortable, and glared at the spirit.
"What?" The spirit asked with a smile. "Am I bothering you?"
"I wish you'd just leave." Sheena complained. She turned her back toward the spirit, and the spirit crossed her arms.
"You wanted to feel loved. I have given you that. You wanted to find the prophecy sailor. I am coming close to finding her. What more do you want from me?" The spirit asked.
"I want you to leave…" Sheena said. The spirit laughed.
"You can't live without me! If I leave, so does your past. And maybe your future."
Sheena grumbled, and curled up in a ball. She wanted everything to go away. She didn't want this spirit in her home. She wanted her mother back, she wanted to be normal, but it wouldn't happen. Nothing would come back.
"Now sleep, Sheena. When the winds become warmer, I'll reveal our plan to Princess Serenity." The spirit whispered. Sheena found herself losing control of her body, and feeling dark and alone.
The mysterious Flute Player rose off the couch. She had an evil gleam in her eyes, as she played a soft, but eerie tune.

Happy New Year! (I'm late!)
Preview:
"This is your dear Small Lady. Rini, Serenity, whatever you wish to call her. We just ripped her from you!"
Serena fell backwards. The last thing she heard was the screams, and then silence, of baby Rini.
Short, sweet, and to the point! (Not really)
And to that reviewer , and anyone else, who was confused about the past thingy...Well the problem starts in the past with Serena and everyone.Rini comes from the future which still hasn't solved that same problem. So she goes to the past, to find a way to stop it from coming to the future... I'll explain it better later.
I'll update, if you review! Could you please?
Love, Lala Rue!
