Chapter 7

Serena rubbed her eyes and squinted at the very dark room. She yawned and sat up to open her curtain up. When she opened, she immediatly closed it again. She rubbed her eyes and lied back down on the bed. Why is it soo bright? Serena thought.

Serena turned her head to the clock. Not that late, Serena thought. Only...2:15! Serena's eyes grew wide and she jumped up. She ran to her parents room. Her mother wasn't in there. Serena checked the office next. Sure enough, her mother was typing on the computer and writing stuff down.

"Mom!" Her mom jumped a little and turned to face her. "Mom! I slept in late! I have to get to school!" Serena practically yelled.

"Calm down, sweetie. We told the school you're going to be absent today. Now," Serena's mom turned back to the computer. "go rest or at least chill out a bit." Serena sighed and left the room. She went to her own room and plopped down on the bed, her meatball hair laying across the bed and hanging over. She sighed.

Suddenly, she heard something. It sounded like...her communicator! She got up and dug through her bag for her communicator until she found it and answered to see Sailor Venus's face.

"Sailor Venus!" Serena exclaimed. Venus shushed her and Serena got a confused look. Sailor Venus checked around one more time before whispering, "Serena, don't come. Please go get Darien. It's not going very well. Just hurry, okay?" Before Serena got a chance to respond, something reached for Sailor Venus. Venus dropped the communicator and all Serena could see were feet.

"Hurry!" Venus called before the screen disappeared. Serena stared for a moment and re-thought everything. As soon as the world continued, Serena gasped, pulled some clothes on, and called to her mom that she'll be back.

Darien's apartment...

Darien opened the door and waved to Serena. "No time!" Serena exclaimed. "The girls are in trouble. I don't know how or why but they need help." Darien registered everything then nodded and started to run with Serena where they thought the scouts may be.

Back to the alley...

Darien and Serena stopped in front of the alley and panted. The alley wasn't as dark as before, but still. "We have to get prepared," Darien said.

Serena cleared her throat and motioned to herself. "Check. You do you," Serena said. Darien nodded and transformed into Tuxedo Mask. They ran in, careful to stay quiet and take cover.

They started to hear noise and inched closer towards it. What they found was incredibly shocking! The scouts were trapped in small bubbles within a giant bubble. Mederson and some new monsters were surrounding it.

"Let us make this a little more interesting, shall we?" Mederson snapped his fingers and the bigger bubble started to minimize.

Serena gasped and her eyes welled with tears. Tuxedo Mask gently touched her shoulders and tried to keep her calm.

But it didn't work. Serena felt she needed to help. And, without warning, she ran out and looked Mederson in the eyes.

"Mederson," she said gently. "Don't hurt them. You already got the crystal. Just leave us alone." Serena crossed her arms and looked firmly at Mederson, swallowing hard. Mederson didn't look the least bit amused.

"Serena," Mederson floated down to Serena. "Oh Serena. You amuse me," Mederson smiled wickedly.

"You certainly don't look amused," Serena said.

Mederson smirked. "You've got quite a mouth and a mind. You seem smart," Mederson leaned in close and whispered,"and beautiful. If only I was your Tuxedo Mask. But then I'd be good. And I wouldn't be saying this to you."

Serena gasped and looked at Mederson. She bit her lip. "W-what happens next?" Serena asked.

Mederson shrugs. "I'm guessing this." Mederson motions to Serena's legs. Serena gasped. A bubble was forming around her.

"Mederson," Serena said, obviously getting angrier by the second. "I hate you! Your the worst!" she yelled before getting enclosed in the bubble. Serena got put in next to the bubble with Sailor Mercury in it.

Serena started to cry and curled up into a ball. She quietly sobbed and looked up, occasonially, to check the scouts.

The last time she looked up, the bubble was so much minimized, the scouts bubbles were pushed together. Serena curled back up into her ball and stayed silent.

Later...

"Serena?" a distant voice said. "Serena! Are you okay? Are you awake?" Serena felt a sharp jab of pain in her side. She opened her eyes. There was only darkness and darkness.

Serena shakily stood up and breathed hard. She walked around the darkness to find absolutely nothing or no one. Until she suddenly started to fall far, far down. She tried to scream but couldn't get any sound out.

Suddenly, the darkness was lit up by something in the darkness. Serena squinted. She couldn't see it clearly and tried to get closer. Instead, the light started to suck her in. Serena tried to resist, but it was no use. She was sucked in and darkness was all she could see.

...

"Serena? Are you there? Come and wake, my dear," a women's voice said. Serena squinted up to see a figure with her hair.

Am I looking in a mirror? Who said my name?

Serena blinked a few times and opened her eyes again. She could see very clearly know. And she saw that the women was clearly Queen Serenity!

"Queen Serenity! Is this really you?" Serena quickly sat up. Queen Serenity sat next to her, smiling at her princess.

"Yes, Serena. So nice to see you again!" Serenity put a hand to Serena's shoulder. "You still look beautiful!"

"W-what's going on? Are we on the moon?" Serena looked around, very confused.

Serenity gave her a smile. "Yes, we are on the moon. And your here because I wanted to give you this." Serenity pulled something from behind her. She held it out for Serena to see. It was a necklace with a moon made of diamonds.

Serena started to tear up. She took the necklace in her hands. "I-it's beautiful. I-I'll keep it forever." She tucked it in her pocket, nice and safe.

"I should hope so." The moon and Serenity started to disappear. "Always remember me. And your 't let darkness get the best of you! Don't give up on hope!"

Serenity and the moon disappeared completely. And Serena was left in the darkness again. Alone...
