Chapter 17

DC: I don't own Sailor Moon

Serena sat in the dark living room. She was thinking about the enemy. They haven't planed anything, that she knows of, she hasn't heard about Darien, which is making her even more stressed, and Rini had gone missing.

"I can only hope Rini comes home soon." Serena said. She sighed, and got tired of sitting, so she got up and walked around.

The house wasn't the same with out anyone around. The bed was empty too. Not that she wanted to do anything, but she missed the company. Thinking of all these things made her worry even more. The baby was due in less then a month, and her birthday was only in two weeks.

'Like that matters.' She thought, after looking at her birthday marked on the calendar. 'What I'm worried about is if anyone will be here by that time.'

Everyone has been giving her help. Police trying their best, but it still wouldn't, work, to find her missing husband and cousin. People from town, and everywhere else, have been giving her things here and there, but her friends. They have been helping the most.

Luna, and Amy keep her updated on any signs of monsters. Raye keeps up with her 'looking into the fire' thing. Mina keeps her company, whenever it's too unbearable. The outer scouts have been on a hunt for any information, along with Luna and Amy. And Lita well she has saved Serena from eating some of her flowers in her yard.

Serena looked out her kitchen window, and saw that Darien's roses were still living. That gave her hope that Darien lived as well. That's one of the many things that didn't worry her in her life. At least not now.

She went to the couch, and sat down. Her back was hurting, and she felt a little sleepy.

"Sleep…Dreams…I still haven't had any…" She said to herself. It struck her as weird that she hasn't had any dreams for a long while. She didn't think anyone has had any at all.

She was actually falling asleep herself, when her communicator started to beep. She stared at it for a moment, but then went to the end table, and picked it up.

"Serena! We have something to show you." came Raye's excited voice. "Trista is coming to pick you up now."

"Okay. I'll be ready." Serena said. She clicked it off, and slid on her slippers. She hasn't been able to see her feet for the longest of times. She got into a drawer, and got her transformation broach. Something told her she was going to need it.

After about ten minutes there was a knock on the door. Serena opened it, and there stood Trista. She followed her out, and went to her car.

They headed for the Cherry Hill Shrine.

Serena took her time up the steps, cursing each and every step there was. Trista, who had to hold in her laughter, helped her in any way, and the both of them hurried inside.

Raye lived with Chad, and right now Chad was out doing something. But this didn't matter, everyone looked ready for anything, when Serena came into the room.

"Look at this!" Raye said.

Serena sat next to Lita and Raye, and took the paper from Raye's hand.

'Come to our dimension for the final battle, if you ever want to see Prince Endymion, or little moon again.'

Serena read it again, and again, then finally looked up. "Where did you find this?"

"In the middle of Tokyo Park. Or what was left of it." Amara said. "We think it's an invitation."

Serena set the paper down, and looked at each of the scouts. They looked back to her, waiting for what they should do next. She often forgot she was the leader.

"What do you want to do?" Serena asked. She knew she wanted to go save the two, but she didn't know if anyone else did.

"Oh come on Serena!" Lita said.

"Yeah, you know we'll be behind you all the way!" Raye said.

"We know you want to go save them. And we all agree to help." Mina said.

Serena smiled, and nodded. "Of course. I say we go save Darien, Rini, and Hotaru!"

All the other sailors nodded their head.

"But wait."

Everyone looked to Amy. "In this dimension, things are different."

"What do you mean?" Serena asked.

"Well, we found that this dimension is…well unique. As I call it." Luna said. "It's a different dimension, then any we have been too. Trista can tell you more."

Everyone turned to Trista. "This dimension, as Luna said, is very different. Well first off, we aren't quite ourselves anymore."

"We aren't ourselves?" Raye asked. "What do you mean?"

"It means that when we go into this dimension, we will be our past, present, and future selves. If we go in there, we have to be very careful, and," Amy looked up to Serena. "We have to protect Serena even more."

"You make it sound like I'm a burden, Amy." Serena said.

She looked to each and every sailor scout. They looked ready for anything. She smiled.

"I say we go for it!" Serena said.

"But will you be okay, Serena?" Michelle asked.

"Yeah, I mean your extremely close to due date." Amara said. Serena nodded.

"I want to save everyone. I want Tokyo back to normal." She said. "And I don't want Rini to be a sacrifice."

"Yeah!" They chimed together.

"We cats will stay here, and watch over Tokyo." Artemis said. Luna and Diana nodded in agreement.

"Then are we set?" Serena asked. Everyone got to her feet. Lita helped Serena up, and she got her broach out.

"Moon Crystal power, Make Up!" She yelled.

Everyone followed her lead, and formed a circle. They got ready for the sailor teleport.

"Bring our Prince, and princess back!" Diana called. They gave a nod, and held their hands.

"Sailor Teleport!" They yelled.

Mistress 9, Wicked Lady, and The Flute Player sensed it. The Flute Player gave them a smile, and they knew. The scouts were coming to the battle. And in an instant they were gone.

Darien, and Helios sat in the dark place, but could feel it too. They knew that the scouts had arrived.

"Do you think they'll make it?" Helios asked.

"I know they'll make it. I just want to see it when they do." Darien said in frustration. Helios looked around, but there was nothing but dark.

"We should try and find them." Helios said. "Maybe if we can just believe."

"Believe in everyone's power?" Darien asked. "How do we do that?"

Helios smiled, and clamped his hands together. "Pray to them."

Darien didn't think of that one. He smiled, and clamped his hands together. Together the two of them prayed to the all the scouts. They prayed to go see them, and to help them in the final battle.

Losta dialogue!

Preview:

The Lady looked up to the two, and raised her shaky hand to the circular wall.

"King Endymion, Lord Helios…" She said. Her hand slid down, and she bowed a little. "I was wondering when you'd come."

So...I'm on chapter 20...at least typing wise, and I have at least one after that... maybe an epilogue...just have to see how it's going.

Thank you aserene for the small talking! I'm fine! But man...you must really dislike Rini. She's not such a bad character. ( I like her...) I can't beleive I'm almost done with this story!

I'll update soon if I can get some reviews!

Love, Lala Rue!
