I don't own Sailor Moon.
"Serena? Serena! Wake up!" someone shouts at her.
Serena groaned. "Five more minutes Momma."
The voice sighed. "Either get up or we'll make you." Suddenly, a bucket of water is poured on Serena!
She gasps & sits up, with trouble. "What was that for?" Serena yelled, spitting out water.
"I told you." Serena glared at Raye.
"Well, you didn't have to pour the whole bucket on me." Serena complained, wringing out her hair.
Raye smirked. "Well, we have to talk."
"We?" Serena asked. Then she looked up to see Amy. "Hey." Then she saw Amy was beat up a lot. "What happened!"
"Bertie attacked the National Science Museum." Amy explained, wincing a little.
"Really? Remember Catzi? Well, she attacked the Meiji Jingu Shrine." Raye said, anger coursing through her. "How she could destroy a shine is beyond me."
Serena got up, with help from the girls, then coughed. "Well, I got attacked by this dude named Rubius."
"You OK?" Amy asks.
Serena nods. "Yeah, I beat his butt. But I got beat up in the process."
"Ditto." Raye sighed.
"Bertie beat me so bad. I need to strengthen up." Amy complained.
Serena hugged the girl. "No you don't. You probably weren't paying attention."
Raye agreed. "Totally. You've taken on a few Negatrash monsters by yourself & beat them."
Amy nodded. "I guess so."
Serena gasped. "What if Lita & Mina were attacked? We should check on them."
"No need." a voice called out.
All three girls turned to see Mina. But what surprised them was an unconscious Lita in Andrew's arms.
"Lita!" they exclaimed, running/hobbling over.
Andrew placed her on the ground & the girls surrounded her. "Lita, wake up." Serena bent down & shook her, but Lita didn't wake up.
"Maybe she needs some water…" Raye got up to get some, but Serena got up & stopped her.
"I'm sure she wouldn't be too happy to get water poured on her. I know I wasn't."
"Then how do we get her up?" Raye shot back.
"Why are you asking me?" Serena said.
"Cuz you seem to have all the answers!" Raye shouts.
"Well I don't!" Serena shouted back.
As they argued, Amy & Mina were waving smelling salt under her nose. She moaned, but gained consciousness.
Meanwhile, Serena & Raye still argued.
"Well, smart one, then you chose!" Serena shouted.
"I will!" she shouted back.
They turned & saw Lita was conscious. "Lita!" they shouted & hugged her.
Amy & Mina shrugged their shoulders & joined also. Andrew smiled & walked away. Mina watched him go & let out a huge sigh. Then realizing what she did, slapped her hand over her mouth.
But the girls had heard & they scooted up to her. "So, Mina? You & Andrew? What's up with that?" Raye teased.
"Are you two dating or what?" a now conscious Lita persisted.
Amy smiled, shaking her head. But Serena saw Mina's eyes turn sad, even though she was trying to hide it.
"Guys, maybe Mina doesn't want to talk about it." Serena spoke up.
Raye, Lita & even Amy looked at her in surprise, but Mina shot her a look of gratitude. "But, Serena…" Lita started.
"You're one of the nosiest people I've ever met." Raye said bluntly.
Even Amy nodded. Serena blushed, then turned her back on them. "Maybe I can be secretive once in a while."
She heard laughter & turned to see Raye & Lita rolling on the ground in hysteria. Even Amy was shaking with laughter.
Serena shot them a look of pure anger & hobbled past them. "Come on Mina. Let's leave them alone." she said.
Mina looked at her, then the laughing girls, who had calmed down some. "Yeah, lets."
The blondes began walking/hobbling. Raye & Lita stopped & called after them. "Come on, we were kidding!" Lita shouted, worried they were really mad.
"Yeah. We're sorry!" Raye added.
Amy stared at the blondes, feeling bad. "Guys, I think you really pushed it this time."
Raye & Lita turned to look at Amy. "What do you mean, us? You were laughing too." Lita said.
"But I wasn't rolling on the ground, cracking up." Amy pointed out. "Now, I gotta go home before my mom panics." She turned & walked down the street.
Raye & Lita bit their lips. "Maybe we did over do it." Raye admitted.
"Serena can keep secrets, too. She's kept Darien's secret." Lita said.
Raye sighed. "Speaking of Darien, I hope he gets better. I don't think Serena would ever recover if he…" she stopped, throat suddenly dry.
Lita put her hand on her shoulder & nodded. "I know, I know. We just have to believe."
Raye sighed again. "Well, you want to get some ice cream?"
"Sure." The two girls walked off to get ice cream.
Meanwhile, Serena & Mina had sat down at a fountain & were talking.
"Um, thanks for your help back there…" Mina humbly thanked.
Serena grinned. "No prob."
They sat in silence, both thinking. Serena spoke up first. "Do you think it's possible for someone in, say, a coma, to awaken?"
Mina looked at her weirdly. "I guess so."
Serena shook her head. "No, I mean, is it possible for someone to awaken for moment, then go back?"
Mina stared at her, concern in her eyes. "Serena, did something happen?"
Serena looked down at her jeans & clutched her skirt. Her shoulders began to shake as she tried to keep from crying.
Mina noticed & threw her arms around her. "Serena, what happened?" she asked, softly.
"Tuxedo Mask came to save me, but does that mean Darien's awake?" Serena cried.
Mina began rocking with her. "I'm not sure. Do you want to go check?"
Serena looked up, with tears in her eyes & shook her head. "It's fine. I should be getting home. I left Rini in my room & my family doesn't exactly know about her."
Mina laughed & got up. "OK." But before Serena could leave, Mina said, "Can I tell you something?"
Serena nodded. "Sure. What's up?"
Mina blushed. "Well, you see…when me & Andrew were…he kind of…" But she couldn't tell Serena what happened.
Serena got it though, from the smile on her face & the way her eyes twinkled. "Oh my God! He kissed you!" she screamed.
Mina nodded, still blushing. "Yeah. It was small, but he did."
Serena began jumping up & down sort of, excited. "I can't believe it!" But then she stopped. "Wait, isn't he…?"
Mina nodded. "Yeah, so I don't know how I fell about it."
Serena began to think. "Hmmm, do you want me to ask for you?"
Mina looked at Serena, gratitude in her eyes. "Would you?"
Serena nodded. "What are sisters for?" she teased.
Mina giggled & hugged her. "Thank you so much."
"No prob." Serena smiled. "Well, I better get going. I'll talk to Andrew tonight." She waved & hobbled towards her house.
Mina sighed. "I hope this is a good idea." she said, but before she could say anything, she felt a darkness envelope her & she went unconscious.
What happened to Mina? Is Darien awake? All we need here is that cheesy music at the end of most TV shows where they ask these questions. Please RR.
