I get to go to Disneyland for the 4 days! So I won't be able to update for my lack of laptop… I don't own sailor moon.
Serena was playing with Hana in the children's room when she hears a scream.
Her heart stops because it sounded like it came from Darien's room. The 4 or 5 nurses that ran toward his room cemented her question.
"Um, Hana. I'll be right back." Serena says to the little girl still holding onto a Barbie.
Hana nods & watches as Serena limps out of the room.
Serena hurries down the hall until she sees a tuff of pink. "Rini?" she exclaims.
The pink head looks up & reveals a pair of big, tearful pink eyes. "Serena!" Rini runs to Serena & grabs onto her good leg.
"What happened? What's wrong?" Serena asked, hugging her.
"I don't know. I was talking to Darien, then the machine starting beeping really fast & then it went blooooooooppppppppp" Rini explains between sobs.
Serena begins to shake. "Rini, stay here." She limps over to one of the nurses outside the door talking. "Excuse me, but is he OK?"
The nurse looked at Serena. "Who are you?"
"His girlfriend. What happened? Will he be OK?" Serena asked, tears forming.
The nurse sighs. "We're not sure. His heart's stopped."
Serena felt her own heart stop. "As in…he's not alive?"
Before the nurse can say anything, a doctor comes out, smiling. "He'll be all right. It was just a complication."
Everyone in the immediate area let out a huge breath, Serena still shaking. The doctor turned & saw her. "Who are you?"
"This is the patient's girlfriend." the nurse from before introduced.
The doctor nodded. "Oh, yes. But who's this?" He points down.
The nurse & Serena both looked down & saw Rini hiding behind Serena's leg, crying.
"This is…my little sister." Serena fibs.
The doctor nods. "Well, he'll be fine, but you can't go in anymore."
"Why not?" Serena asks, Rini staring at the doctor.
"While we were reviving him, we detected a virus." the doctor looked at his clipboard.
Serena nods. "Yes, I already know that."
The doctor looked up in surprise. "You did? Did you know it was contagious?"
Serena's eyes widened. "No, not at all."
The doctor frowned. "I see. Well, everyone who's had contact with him must be tested."
Serena looks down at Rini. "I think it was just the two of us. And a couple nurses."
The doctor nods. "Right this way." He begins to walk down the hall, a scared Rini gripping onto Serena.
Meanwhile, untransformed, Mina walks around downtown, a little depressed. "I wish I could help…" she sighs.
"You can help yourself…" a familiar voice says.
Mina stops & glares. "I know that voice." She begins to run to where she heard it. And, as sure as rain, she sees Malachite, smirking.
"I knew you would come." he said.
"I only came to tell you to leave me alone! I'd never betray my friends & loved ones."
"You mean the ones who've betrayed you?" Malachite asked, circling her.
"What are you talking about, pretty boy?" Mina glared.
"I mean, the girl who's supposed to be your sister. As she even thought about your feelings? No, she's too preoccupied with her own feelings."
"She has a right too. Darien's dying." Mina looks down. "I'm just dying of a broken heart." She slaps her hand on her mouth, saying too much.
Malachite's eyes widen. "Oh, I see. I guess Andrew's rejected your feelings? How pitiful." He laughs.
Mina glares at him. "He didn't reject them! He just…" she trailed off, realizing that's what he sort of did.
Malachite watched her, sneering. "You know, you can get back at him." He floats up. "You can get back at everyone that's hurt you; those kids in school for making fun of you, all the guys' who have broken your hearts; everyone."
He gathers the energy ball. "This can help you. I can help you." Floating upward, he called out "You know where to find me when you realize I can help you." He disappears, leaving Mina glaring at him.
"As if that'll ever happen!" But as she screamed this words, images of all the people who have hurt her. Shaking her head, she closes her eyes, holding back tears. "What's happening to me?" She walks out of the forest area.
"Oh, Andrew! You're so cute!" someone giggles.
Mina stops & hides. Looking out from behind the statue, her heart breaks into a million pieces. Standing in front of her is Andrew & Hina, embracing. Andrew's smiling his familiar grin & Hina's giggling at something he said.
Mina watches this, trying to hold back tears from spilling. "I should look away." She closes her eyes. "Just turn around. If you look, it'll be worse."
But she didn't listen to herself. She opened her eyes & tears spilled over her eyelids. Right in front of her, in a passionate embrace, are the two people kissing.
Mina begins to shake & turn away, sobbing silently. "Why didn't I listen to myself?" she murmurs, walking off. "Now I'll have that in my dreams for the rest of my life."
Mina is so preoccupied that she accidentally bumps into someone. "Sorry." she mumbles.
"No prob…" the person said, a glint of evil from the corner of his eye.
Whoa, who could this person be? Poor Mina. Poor Serena. Poor everyone! Please RR
