A Galaxy of Difference : A Story of Love

"We have to understand that our destinies have changed." Honestly Lita did not want their destiny to change; she wanted to be together just like they always had been, but now, in this time, she loved someone else. "You have Rai now and I have Darien."

"So what you're telling is that this can't end up like it did in the moon kingdom?" That made Mallory mad. How come everyone else got their destinies but them? "Can't we just say the hell to the guys and be together?"

"Yes," Mallory had no idea how close Lita had come to saying that, "and no," because Lita knew that it just was a choice for them anymore. "I know that this is going to be hard, but we will make it through and maybe you will come to find that I was right."

"Yeah…" Mallory trailed off trying her hardest not to cry.

"I'll be leaving now. Darien's waiting for me in the car." As soon as Lita had said that, she took see that more tears had made their way to those blue eyes that she loved so much.

Mallory blinked back more tears that were threatening to fall, "I guess then I will see you on Saturday."

"Yeah," Lita said as she got up and walked toward the door. She turned back to look at the girl that was suppose to have been her destiny and she just wished that it could have turned out that way because she hated making Mallory cry. "I'll see you then."

As soon as Mallory heard the door close, she broke down into tears. She was shocked at what Lita had said to her. Mallory didn't want to believe that the destinies had changed. Just because her sister's had changed, why did her destiny have to change too? Even if it had too, then why did she have to lose her best friend?

The next few days went by way too fast. Mallory was not ready for Saturday yet. She wasn't prepared on how to deal with see Lita and Darien together or just seeing Lita in general. To top that off, there was her sister, who she had not talked to in almost a year. Everything that had happened made Mallory seriously consider skipping the wedding, but she knew that she could never do that.

Mallory did the only normal thing she knew anymore and that was the routine of getting ready in the morning. It proved to be the only unchanging thing left in her world. Today after her shower, she put on her bridesmaids dress, then styled her hair, and then put on her shoes. Once she was all done, she looked at the clock and saw that it say 1:02pm, which meant that she was on time.

Today the drive over to Haruka's seemed to take longer than normal. It was probably because she was worrying about things that were out of her control. She arrived at 1:28 and walked inside.

"You're so late." Serena angrily said.

"I'm sorry. If someone would have told me that we were starting early, then I already would have been here!" Mallory barked back. She didn't understand, much less know, why the wedding was starting two hours early.

"Whatever," Serena was very angry with her sister. She told everyone when the new time was. "Let's just get this over with."

"Sounds good," Mallory whispered. She could not believe that her sister was acting so cruel, but then again figured it probably had something to do with her.

Mallory ended up in the lineup behind Lita, which was hard for her. She wanted to talk to her, but knew that the other girl wouldn't listen to her. As the wedding march started, Mallory sighed. She wished that her and Lita were still a couple because then they could have walked down the aisle together just like Haruka and Michelle. It took a few quick moments for Mallory to clear her mind and follow Lita down the aisle.

The rest of the wedding went by flawlessly. Mallory was shocked to see that nothing had gone wrong, since she was sure that something would have. For the two hours after the wedding, all Mallory did was watch everyone else get their pictures taken. She had been in two or three of them, which was saying a lot since she didn't care for her picture being taken at all.

After that was done, everyone went to the reception which was in the same place. All Mallory wanted to do was go home. She could tell that she was not wanted here and if she was just going to be ignored then why couldn't she just do that at home. Mallory was sitting on the couch watching everyone when she saw Lita walk over towards her.

"What's wrong?" Lita asked as she sat down on the couch next to Mallory. "You look like you're not having any fun." She didn't have to ask that to know what was upsetting the other girl, but Lita couldn't help but worry about her, even after everything they went through.

"How exactly can I have fun?" Mallory looked at her ex-girlfriend. "For one, you and I are not suppose to be the same room together let alone talking to each other. Two, my sister hates me for reasons that I don't even know. Three, Haruka is still mad at me for everything that happened last year even though none of that was my fault. Four, I am here by myself while the rest of you have dates. So, Lita, tell me exactly how I am suppose to have fun?"

Lita sighed. "Well, for one, I'm here and talking to you. Two, screw everyone else because they don't matter." Lita sighed. "What are you basing the first reason on?"

"Darien!" Mallory exclaimed. "You told me that you didn't want to be friends so your relationship would work out. Here I am trying to keep my end of the bargain and you're the one not following what you said. It isn't fair."

Lita understood exactly where Mallory was coming from. "Then I'll just tell him that we are being nice to each other so we don't ruin the day." She smiled. "Besides sometimes I just want to talk with you instead of him."

Mallory laughed. "That is true. You better leave though."

"Yeah," Lita hugged Mallory, "I'm sorry that everything turned out this way. Don't be a stranger because even though we are not friends anymore doesn't mean I don't worry about my moon princess."

That sentence made Mallory want to cry, but instead she returned the hug and said, "Thanks. I'll try not to." As much as she meant that, she knew that they would never be able to be friends again.

Lita wanted to believe that but she knew that Mallory wouldn't be friends with her as long as Darien was in the picture and it was the same for Lita. "See you around then."

"Yep," Mallory said as she watched Lita leave. It hurt her to know that was going to probably be their last conversation, but then again she was happy that she got to talk to her.

Mallory tried to socialize with her friends, but it was just small talk. She made sure to eat some of the cake that Lita had made before slipping out the front door to sit on the porch swing. As much as she wanted to run away from everything, Mallory knew that she couldn't. There were important things that she had to do that were stopping her. She was lost in her thought process until she felt someone sit down next to her.

"This is where you ran off to," Mina said as she sat down. " I thought maybe you had ditched us."

Mallory shook her head. "Nope, I am just enjoying the quiet."

Mina sighed. She knew that something was wrong and she knew that something had to do with Lita. "What is wrong? Earlier it seemed like you didn't want to talk to me and I know that isn't the truth."

"I could say the same thing to you too."

"I know it seemed like that from me too, but I am just trying to keep everyone happy in there. Serena is being rude to everyone it seems like and Lita is all sad about something." Mina sighed. "I saw you two talking earlier."

Mallory took a deep breath before saying, "I hate it here. Lita and I are no longer friends, Serena is back to hating me, you know why Haruka is mad, Darien refuses to look or talk to me, and I was sure by the way the rest of you were acting that you guys hated me too."

"I don't hate you and neither does Rei." This really bothered her. "No one knows why Serena is mad at you again. Personally she needs to get over whatever it is." Mina knew that this had something to do with Lita and now all she had to do was try to find out what happened. "What h-"

"Lita and I slept together the night of her party," Mallory said as she cut Mina off.

Mina smiled, "Really?"

"Yeah," Mallory was glad to finally have told someone. She ended up telling Mina exactly what had happened from that night until now. "What is upsetting the most is that I cheated on Rai."

Mina was in shock because this was all out of character for Lita. She knew what the two girls felt for each other, especially since their love was destined from the Moon Kingdom. "I'm so sorry about Lita. I think she will regret listening to him because you are the one that has always been there for her."

"I know, but if this is what she wanted then I'm not going to stop her since we both know it won't do any good."

"Yeah, that's true." Mina wanted to help her fellow senshi but did not know how to go about doing that. "You said that you cheated on Rai, right? Did you tell him? Personally, I thought that you two were not dating."

"I think that we are. I mean he left me here, but I still considered us dating." Mallory started to cry. "I cheated on him with her. I don't know why I did what I did. I don't even know how to tell him."

Mina pulled Mallory into a hug, "I am sure that he will understand. In fact as Goddess of Love, I am sure that he will."

"Are you sure?" Mallory asked as she pulled away from Mina.

"I'm sure." She just hoped that he would, otherwise, Mina was going to be in a lot of trouble.

"I just don't think that I can tell him."

"Why?"

"I don't want to lose him too." Mallory sniffled. "If I do then I will have lost the two most important people in my life."

"Even though you think that you lost Lita, you really didn't. She will always be there for you and you know that."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Mallory sighed. "Mina, what you say if I told you that I hated living here."

"I would understand, especially after everything you have gone through." Mina smiled, "Do you want to leave again?"

Mallory nodded, "I do. I know that is probably irresponsible, but my heart doesn't belong here."

"It belongs with Rai, doesn't it?"

"Yes, Mina, it does."

Mina was trying not to laugh at her friend. "Then you need to go. Besides what exactly are you wating on?"

"Um," Mallory sat there for a few minutes before saying, "I don't think I am waiting on anything."

"That is exactly what I was going to say." Mina knew that her friends, mainly Serena and Lita, were not going to be happy about this. "Why don't you just go then?"

"I want to bu-"

"You need to go." Mina stated as she cut her fellow senshi off. "There isn't anything here for you anymore. I can everyone that you said bye."

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

"What about my apartment?"

"I can take care of that." Mina smiled. "You don't need to worry about that. Just leave your key in your mailbox and I will explain everything to your landlord."

"Thank you Mina!" Mallory hugged the other girl. "I love you so much."

Finally, Mina got to laugh. "I love you too. Now you need to go."

Mallory nodded. She knew that she should have told everyone she was leaving, but in all honesty she did not care. "Thank you so much. I truly love you!"

"Your welcome." Mina made Mallory give her one more hug. "I love you too girl. Just go find your happiness because Lita is not worth this."

"I will." Mallory stood up and looked at Mina, "Bye Mina." Then she ran to her car to leave. She was just happy that this time she got to tell one person bye.

As soon as she got back to her apartment, Mallory ran inside and started to pack everything. After ten minutes, she realized that she still had on her bridesmaid dress. She had to go through what was packed and find herself a few outfits. One of the outfits was black track pants and a pink t-shirt, since she did not plan on stopping unless it was necessary. The other couple of outfits were nicer ones. These were so she had something available to change into if needed.

Mallory packed everything she owned that night into a duffle bag, two laundry baskets, and several trash bags. The trick had been loading that all of that into the mustang, but after a few tries, Mallory managed to get everything to fit. She looked around the apartment one more time to make sure that she didn't miss anything and then left. She set the key in the mailbox and then left for West Capitol.

After three days, Mallory finally arrived in West Capitol. She thought it was funny that she arrived on Christmas Eve, but just figured that she could label herself as a present. She pulled into the parking lot of a McDonald's to change into a tight pair of blue jeans and a nice black sweater. After she had changed clothes and her make-up was on, she got back into her car and drove over to Capsule Corp.

"I wonder if he will be happy to see me," Mallory said as she parked the car along the curb. "I just hope that he is home and not busy since it is after two." She sat in her car for a few more minutes before getting out and walking toward the house.

The whole way to the front door, which was not that far, made her more and more nervous. Mallory did not know if Rai even wanted her around or not, but decided that she had to find out for herself. She just hoped that she had not made a huge mistake in coming here. Once Mallory reached the door, she knocked on it with the little bit of courage she had left.

"Hello?" An older lady with short blonde hair said. "Who are you?"

"Hi, I'm Mallory, Rai's girlfriend."

"Come on. It is always nice to meet one of his friends." Mallory watched the older lady turn around and walk into the house. "He is such a nice boy."

Mallory smiled as she followed her inside. "Is Rai here? I would really like to talk to him."

"No, my dear, he isn't." Mallory couldn't believe that. "I will give him a call for you. Why don't you just go sit in the living room and I'll let him know."

"Thanks."

Mallory walked over and sat down on the couch. She was surprised at how welcome she was even though she had no idea who that older lady was. Once again, the blonde-haired girl started to feel nervous.

"What if Rai doesn't want me?" Mallory thought. "What if he just wanted to forget about me?"

Rai had been surprised when he received the call. He had never expected her to come all this way just to see him. He was frightened to face her since he had no idea what to really say. Instead, he decided to just stand there in the doorway and watch her for a few minutes.

Mallory looked up when she felt someone staring at her. She smiled when she saw that it was Rai. "Hi." She stood up from the couch. Her nerves were worse now. "You look nice." She mentally kicked herself for that stupid sentence.

Rai laughed. "You look nice too." He walked over and pulled her into his arms. "What are you doing here?" He was hoping that nothing bad at happened.

Mallory wrapped her arms around his waist. "I needed to get away from there." She sighed. "Something happened while you were gone."

He knew it. Now all that was left to do was find out, but he just didn't want to at this point since he was enjoying having Mallory in his arms again. "Ok, but you're here now and that is all that matters."

She stepped out of his embrace and shook her head. "I did something," Mallory was really nervous about this, but knew that she had to tell him the truth. "I slept with Lita." All she could hope now was that Rai didn't hate her too.

"Is that all it was?"

Mallory nodded, "I didn't mean for it to happen, but it did and since then everything has been messed up." She blinked back some tears. "I cheated on you and I feel horrible. You can ha-"

Rai did not care what had happened before she had come here. It just didn't matter to him. He cut her off with a kiss. "I don't care about that. I'm glad that you told me, but it wasn't like we were still together."

"But I thought that we were."

"We are," Rai sighed. "I thought that we were together too, but it just didn't make any sense for us to be together and yet be so far apart." He pulled her back in for another hug. "I'm going to tell you what. How about we pick up from where we left off? We can forget everything that happened in the past year."

"We can?" Mallory was surprised that he didn't hate her. "Are you sure?"

Rai leaned over and passionately kissed Mallory. "I'm positive."

"Good because I really don't want to be away from you."

"Neither do I," Rai said before kissing Mallory again.

The two of them sat down on the couch and were enjoying each other's company. Mallory had her head on his shoulder. She was just happy that she was with him and not miserable back home.

"Mallory, I don't care what happened with Lita."

"You said that."

"I know, but I just wanted to tell you again. Whatever happened with her is in the past and I really don't care."

"That is nice to know." Mallory said before trailing kisses down his neck.

"I love you Mallory."

That caused her to sit up and look at him. "I love you too Rai with all my heart."

Rai kissed her. "If you don't mind me asking, did anything else happen while I was gone?"

Mallory smiled. "Everyone else is back to their old ways. I still think that Haruka hates me for what happened, but that isn't my fault or yours." She looked at him before saying, "The only real change is between Lita and I. She went back to Darien after everything that happened between the two of us. We are not even friends anymore."

"I'm sorry about that. I know how much you valued her friendship."

"Yeah, but we had a nice talk about everything at Serena's wedding reception."

"That's good."

"I guess so."

"I have something to tell you." This time it was Rai who got to be nervous. "My mom is at her cottage with almost all our friends and family. She wants be to bring you back there tomorrow to meet everyone."

That made Mallory anxious. "I don't know about that. I don't do well with people. You know how much trouble I caused my own friends."

"I told her that it was way too early for this, but she wants you there too." Rai pushed Mallory down on the couch. "Don't worry because you will be with me the whole time."

Mallory smiled, "If you say so."

"I do," Rai stated before he started to plant kisses along her neck. "We leave tomorrow."

"Why?" Mallory moaned.

"Because tonight," Rai looked right at her, "you are mine."

Mallory smiled when she saw Rai stand up. "I guess." Her smile only got bigger when he picked her up and carried her to his room.

When Mallory woke up the next morning, she was happy. That had to have been one of the best Christmas Eve's that she had ever had. She sat up and looked at his naked form. She was still amazed at all of his scars and the things that he had said to her last night. To Mallory it seemed like today was the start of the rest of her life and she only hoped that Rai thought the same. She decided that she needed a few more minutes of sleep and so she laid back down with her head on his chest. It didn't take long for her to fall back asleep.

Another hard chapter for me, but I think that it turned out ok. Let me know what you think.
