Wow, I just realized I wrote 3 consecutive chapters this morning…Well, I'm back & ready to write some more. I don't own sailor moon.
Serena was roused by sunlight flowing in her room. She opened her eyes & looked around. Something white caught her eye & she looked down at her arm. "So it wasn't a dream…" she says, reaching for her crutches.
"No it wasn't." Luna says, jumping onto the bed. "Good morning, Serena."
Serena grabs her crutches & begins to pull herself up. "Good morning Luna. How are you?"
Luna looked at her. "I'm fine. But the real question is how are you?"
Serena limped over to her window & stared outside. "I've had better days."
Luna jumped up onto the window sill & leaned on Serena's unbroken arm. "I know it's hard, but you might just have to face the fact that Darien might not wake up &…" But Luna never finished because Serena stopped her.
"Never. He'll wake up & come back to me. He promised." She opened her star locket & music began to play. Serena closed her eyes, but tears still fell onto the locket as the music played. "Oh Darien…"
Luna decided not to talk to her about it just yet. She jumped off the sill & out of the room.
20 minutes later, Serena was downstairs, with the help of her father, & picking at her breakfast. Her parents exchanged worried glances. "Serena, dear, you have to eat." Ikuko said.
Serena pushed her eggs around, the smell of it making her queasy. "I'm just not hungry right now."
"But you need your strength." Kenji tried.
Serena continues picking at it, but doesn't answer. Her parents exchange the glances again & decide to let her be for now.
Serena gets up a few minutes later. "I'm sorry. I'm not hungry." Looking at her parents, she asks. "Is it OK if I go for a walk?"
Kenji begins to open his mouth, but Ikuko shakes her head at him. "Sure, that's fine sweetheart."
Serena nods. "Thank you. Goodbye mom. Goodbye daddy." She kissed them both on the cheek & limps out the door.
Serena begins to limp over to the hospital to see Darien when she hears a voice. "Hey, Serena!"
Serena turns to see Rini running up to her. Serena smiles weakly. "Hi, Rini."
Rini stops & stares at her. "What happened?"
"Just a little accident. How are you?"
Rini smiles. "I'm fine, but Darien didn't come home yesterday. Do you know where he is?"
Serena feels her eyes tear up, but pushes them back. "Darien won't be home for a while. How about you come live with me? Just like a sleepover. I have a cat you can play with."
Rini smiles. "OK." She grabs Serena's hand. "Where are we going?"
Serena pauses for a moment, but then decides to tell the truth. "We're going to see Darien."
Rini breaks into a grin. "Ya!" She begins to swing Serena's good arm. "Do you think he'll make us pancakes?"
Serena stares down at the carefree little girl & smiles. "If we ask him, Rini. If we ask him."
Rini seemed content with that answer, so they walked in silence until they hear a rumbling noise & look up to see the sky split & see a girl with her hair pulled back in a braid and has a braid across her forehead, like a head-band, wearing a blue low-cut swimsuit like outfit, with knee high blue boots, blue elbow length gloves and blue choker. She's also wearing diamond shaped black colored earrings.
"Who are you?" Serena pushes Rini behind her back & glares at the girl.
"Name's Bertie. And I want that rabbit!" she exclaimed.
Serena looked confused. "What rabbit?"
"Me." Rini clears up.
Serena looks down at her. "Why are you a rabbit?" she asks.
But before Rini can explain, Bertie becomes enraged again. "Enough of this chitter chatter! Either give me the rabbit or die!"
Serena glares at her. "I am not giving Rini to you, so you can just bug off!"
Bertie laughs. "We'll just see about that." She floats into the air & raises her arms in the air. Dark water begins to encircle her & she spins with it, the water gathering into a ball.
Stopping, she smirks down at the two girls &, shouting, "Dark Water!", throws the ball down at the girls!
Oooo! Cliffhanger. Hahahaha. I won't update until I get 5 reviews from 5 different people. So RR quickly!.
