I really don't have much to say. Thank you to the reviewers that sent me
one. This one chapter is supposed to be on the day of November 11. On that
day in the year of 2001, two very good friends of mine's dad died. The year
before their youngest brother had died. Sad if you think about it.
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters from the actual show just the ones
you've never heard of until now.

Chapter 7
Birthday Crash
It was Saturday and Serena and the gang were found at Raye's place.
"And that's about all we know about those guys and the enemy," Amy said. The discussion to fill in Darien hadn't taken that long because even the girls knew hardly anything about them.
"The leader of those guys. I don't get what his problem is. He was practically beating up his own teammate," Darien said. "Are you sure we can even trust them?"
Serena looked to the side and said, "Well, we can trust Tuxedo Pluto. He was the one to save Lita."
"I agree, too. If it wasn't for him, Raye probably wouldn't be here," Mina said. "He also saved Rini from Bita. He truly is on our side for doing so much for us."
"What about Tuxedo Neptune? What do you know about him that'll say he's on our side?" Luna asked as she sat near Artemis.
"He did save us all from Crowmora when the enemy first showed up," Amy said. "He also got rid of Turtlea."
"We'll talk about this more later. We have a birthday party to go to," Serena said. "I hope that jerk likes my present."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aaron was knocking on the door of an apartment. "Scott, are you in there! Scott, open up! Scott!!"
Inside the apartment, it was completely empty. Nothing was in there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crimson walked through the halls of the castle and looked left and right for Pumpkin. "Kin, where are you! Kin!"
"Are you looking for 'fruit boy'?" a voice asked from behind Crimson.
Crimson looked back to see Azure leaning against the wall with an evil smirk on his face. Crimson looked forward and began walking as fast as he could from Azure.
"What's the rush, Crim?" Azure teased as he pushed himself from the wall and began walking after Crimson.
Crimson stopped in place and tightened his fists as much as he could. Flames surrounded his fists as his eyes narrowed. Before a word could be said, Crimson sent a stream of fire straight at Azure. Azure smirked and put his hand in front of himself. Water had formed in his hand as it turned to steam from the fire.
Azure laughed, "You do know that water will always win against fire, because water drowns it."
Crimson turned his back at his failure as Azure walked up to him and put his arms around Crimson's neck. Azure whispered, "Fire needs air to survive but when water surrounds it has no choice but to suffocate it as it removes it of all the air there is that it needs."
Crimson's eyes widened as he asked, "What are you doing?"
Azure smiled as he held a red jewel up to Crimson's face. "Take this and use it against those impotent fools. If you succeed in winning with its power, the queen will surely put off your death sentence."
"Why are you doing this for me, Azure?" Crimson asked as he took the jewel into his hand.
Azure released his arms from around Crimson's neck and took a step back. He turned his back to him and walked off.
Crimson looked after him and then looked to the jewel. He tightened his fist around the jewel and disappeared out of the scene.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena and the others walked up to where Scott's apartment was and saw Aaron sitting by the door. Serena knelt down next to him and asked, "Why are you sitting outside of the apartment? Shouldn't you be inside?"
"It's obvious that he's outside because the birthday boy isn't here," Induo said walking into the scene following Amy.
Aaron looked to them and stood to his feet as fast as he could. "I apologize on behalf of Scott. It appears that he's just not here or that he moved over night."
"Where could he be?" Raye asked as she held her present in hand.
"My guess would be that he's at the arcade. Why don't we go check and see so we don't have to stand out here," Aaron smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mitch walked into the arcade and looked around. He eyes stopped at the sight of Scott. He walked over to him and said, "So this is where you went off to. Aaron called and asked if you were over at my apartment. Why are you here on your birthday and not at your apartment?"
Mitch looked to the side and saw packed bags at Scott's feet. "Are you planning on leaving us without even a goodbye? Here. It's your present from Terry. He told me to give it to you when I saw you."
Scott took the present, which was a small box that was wrapped the best it was. He opened it to come across a single picture. His eyes widened at the sight of what was on the picture as he dropped the box. Mitch bent down and picked up the box and looked at the picture.
"Why would he give me this picture? It's the only one that has his own brother in it," Scott said as he looked to the side.
The picture had five individuals in it. Four that you could figure out as younger versions of Scott, Mitch, Terry, and Aaron. The fifth one looked the oldest and almost looked identical to Terry.
"Did you notice that you changed once he was gone? I admit I changed as well but for what reason did you change? You never acted the way you do now," Mitch said.
Scott's hands began to shake as he said, "He was the leader. It's my fault he's dead."
"It's not your fault. He's dead because if not you would have been the one to die," Mitch said. "You do remember what he said, don't you? You were the last to hear his words. You know how hard that was on Terry? He didn't even get to say goodbye."
Scott tightened his fists and narrowed his eyes. "You make no sense, you know? I'm leaving."
Before Scott could pick up a bag, Mitch punched him in the face. Scott put his hand where he hit him and stood there in surprise. He then threw a punch at Mitch and the two were fighting hand to hand.
Mitch dodged the best he could but there were even moves too fast for anyone to figure anything out. Before he could throw a punch, he tripped over a stool and landed to the ground. Scott smiled as he wrapped his hand around Mitch's throat and squeezed.
Mitch struggled to breathe as the people who were also in the arcade watched them not knowing what to do. The door to the arcade opened as Aaron and the others walked in laughing. Aaron froze in his tracks as he looked to the two.
He realized that Mitch was being choked and ran over to Scott and tried to release Scott's hand from Mitch's throat. "Scott, let go of him!"
"Shut up!" Scott yelled as he pushed Aaron into the claw machine.
Aaron's head slammed against the glass and cracked it. Amy ran over to his side as Darien ran over to Scott and tried to pull him back. Darien managed to force Scott from Mitch and held him back from doing anything else.
Scott struggled to get free from Darien's grip as he yelled, "Let me go! Let me go!!"
"Stop this now! He's your friend for crying out loud!" Darien yelled as he still kept Scott back.
Mitch gasped for air as Scott yelled, "What do you know! They're not my friends! They're not!"
Serena walked over to Scott and slapped him. He stopped struggling and looked to Serena.
"Stop this! You told me once that you don't even consider the people who think they are your friends as your friends," Serena yelled. "How could you say such a thing?"
Scott's eyes widened as he looked to the ground. "You don't understand. If they're my friends, they'll die just like he did."
The door to the arcade opened as Terry walked in. He looked at the scene but just ignored it. He walked over to Scott and smiled, "So did you get my present?"
Everyone just stared at him as Induo leaned against the wall bored out of his mind. Scott looked to Terry and asked, "Why?"
"What my brother once told me was that sometimes you just have to forget things. He wouldn't want to see you this way all because him," Terry said. "Remember the good stuff and never the bad. But I guess that you sometimes have to remember the bad to prevent what might happen to the good stuff."
Everyone's eyes widened at what he said. Apparently it was a wise thing to say.
Terry got a little nervous from all the silence and broke it by saying in a loud voice, "Well, now! Let's get on with this birthday party! I'm sure we provided a great show to everyone else in this arcade!"
The other people in the arcade turned there gaze from them and went on with their life. Scott didn't move an inch as Darien released him. Serena ran over to Aaron who just wiped his head with pain written on his face.
Terry walked up the stairs to the Fruits Parlour Crown and took a seat in one of the seats with Mitch following after him. Everyone else followed after them and sat down in an empty seat found nearby.
Scott took a seat near the window and stared at the people walking along the sidewalk outside. Terry gave a sigh and looked to Serena with a smile.
"I haven't actually introduced myself to you now have I. My name's Terry and this is Mitch," he said pointing to Mitch who apparently wasn't paying attention. "Look, Scott, they have presents for you!"
Scott turned his gaze from the window and looked to the girls and Darien. He then looked back out the window with a sigh.
"Okay. Well, umm, I guess we just push a present to him and maybe he'll open it," Terry smiled. Terry held up the present he had given to Scott and said, "This is all I got him. I hope you all did much better than a picture."
"Can I see that?" Amy asked as she took a hold of the picture. She looked at it as Induo and Aaron looked at it from over her shoulders. "Who's the fifth member in this picture?"
Mitch narrowed his eyes at her as Aaron sat back down in his seat. Terry looked to the side as Scott said, "His name's Henry. He's Terry's older brother."
"What happened to him?" Darien asked in a serious tone of voice.
Everyone turned their gaze from Scott to Terry who answered, "He died five years ago. It's not something we should talk about."
"Sorry," Darien apologized as Serena pushed Scott's present from her in front of him.
Scott looked at it and unwrapped it. Under the wrappings there was a narrow box. He pulled off the top of the box and gave a small chuckle. There inside of the box was an umbrella.
"I suppose this is a different umbrella then the one you threw at me the other day," Scott smiled.
"Of course not. It turns out you ruined it so I decided to give it to you," Serena said.
"How thoughtful of you," Scott said, "...creampuff head."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daffodil walked down the halls of Queen Raina's castle and stopped in front of one of the torches. Her yellow eyes glistened from the fire as she looked to a door she was by. She placed a hand on the door and opened it to see the children in there.
The children gave her a smile as the youngest ran over to her and gave her a hug. She looked to all of them and said, "I promise you I will find a way to get all of you out of here...I promise."
Azure peered in from the doorway and made sure that no one else could see him. He watched as she played with the children and gave an evil smirk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crimson appeared outside the door to Terry's apartment. He knocked on it and waited for an answer that never came. He then began to bang on it incase he was asleep. He gave up and left after he placed a piece of paper into the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pumpkin looked around the pitch-dark room and slowly tried to struggle free from the chains that bound him. A small giggle was heard in the room and caused Pumpkin to freeze from what he was doing.
"My, my, my," Azure's voice rang through the room. "You trying to escape now that it has been set up. Pumpkin, you fool, what makes you think you can change the future."
"You don't know what you're saying, Azure. Do you remember when we all first met? When we were all forced into one room after it happened," Pumpkin said. "It was so dark that we were scared of each other, but Crimson lit a flame in his palm to reveal who we actually were. Do you remember?"
Azure's eyes widened. He looked to the ground and shook his head from the thoughts that began to flow through it. Flashes of memories popped in his head as he tried to fight them back.
"You lie," Azure said abruptly. He looked up at Pumpkin and yelled, "YOU LIE!"
He quickly turned his back to him and walked off into the darkness. Pumpkin looked to the side and continued to struggle free from the chains.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terry smiled as Scott unwrapped the last present. He gave out a loud laugh at the sight of a battered old stuffed animal that Aaron had given to him.
"How cute! I bet it was your old stuffed animal right, Aaron?" Lita laughed.
Aaron gave out a tiny blush and replied, "Well, to tell you the truth it used to belong to Scott when he was still at the orphanage."
Everyone looked to Scott as he said, "Yes, well, I did live in an orphanage. I met Aaron there when he was still very young. Man, was he a crybaby. That's about the time I gave it to him."
"But I thought you had parents, Aaron," Serena said.
"I do. Those are the people that adopted me," Aaron smiled.
Scott looked to everyone and said, "Thank you for all the presents. This is actually my first birthday party."
Mitch stood to his feet and walked out of the place without a word said. Induo looked to where he exited and then looked to the others and gave out a yawn.
"What's his problem?" Darien asked as he looked to Terry for an answer.
Terry stood to his feet and said, "I don't know but I guess I'll go check it out. See ya later!"
Terry left the place as Induo gave out yet another yawn. He looked to Amy and asked, "Amy, can we leave or would you like to stay a bit longer?"
"Hey, Induo, if you're so bored then why don't you leave?" Aaron said standing to his feet.
Induo narrowed his eyes as he stood to his own feet. He was about to make a move when he stopped himself and said, "It's not worth it. I'll see you at school, Amy. Later."
He walked out without another word said. Aaron sat back down with a frown across his face. Scott stood to his feet and took all of his present into his arms. He put what he could into his bags and looked to everyone with a faint smile.
He gave a bow and said, "Thank you. I guess it's good to consider people as my friends."
He walked out of the place with Aaron running after him. Before Aaron made it out the door, he stopped and waved at everyone with a stupid smile on his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pumpkin looked to his restrained wrists and saw the blood drip to the darkness of the floor. He closed his eyes and quickly opened them from a vision he had just had in that split moment.
He said in a small whisper, "Please. Not now........not now.........Crim."
