Queen Serenity walked through the palace and found Gabriel at one of the fountains.
"Gabriel, I'd like to talk to you;" Queen Serenity said.
"Please not now," Gabriel said with a sniff and not looking at Queen Serenity.
"I know it's something serious, you would never yell at Serenity."
"Queen Serenity, I'm begging you just leave it be."
"I will not, my daughter, the Scouts and not to mention myself are all worried about you." Queen Serenity said walking over sitting on the edge of the fountain and lifting his chin, and seeing his tear stained face. "Please Gabriel, you are not just my daughter's husband, but also a son to me, please tell me."
"I can't, if I do you'll tell the others and then the Scouts will be angry at me and say I didn't protect them."
"Gabriel, are the Celestial's dead?"
"Oh no, they're alive they've just been…."
"It's ok, just relax."
"They were taken by Queen Beryl and I have no idea what she's going to do, or already has done to them."
"Oh, that explains a lot." Queen Serenity said with a heavy heart looking at her son-in-law. "Gabriel, you should tell the girls."
"I can't…they'll hate me."
"I'll be with you to relax you as a friend, just like I was when you told Serenity who you really were." Queen Serenity said wiping a tear from his eye. "Come on."
The two got up and walked slowly back to his and Serenity's bedroom, where Serenity and the Scouts were sitting worried about what the issue is. Queen Serenity and Gabriel finally reached the door and walked in.
"Honey, are you ok?" Serenity said running over to her husband, lifting his chin to look into his tearful russet eyes. "Oh honey, what's wrong I've never seen you cry like this, what happened?"
"Serenity, you and the Scouts better sit down." Gabriel said with a sniff and a sad vibration in his voice.
They all sat down, Serenity and Queen Serenity next to him and the Scouts across from them.
"Gabriel, just relax take a deep breath, and tell them what you told me;" Queen Serenity said.
"We…Well basically," Gabriel said lowering his head and starting to get quiet, which cause Serenity to grip his hand in hers. "They were taken…"
"I tried to get them back, I swear, but I couldn't I'm sorry." Gabriel added trying to stop them from getting angry at him.
"Are they ok?" Mars said jumping up.
"I don't know, the last thing that happened was them getting knocked out by and energy ball and getting teleported away by Queen Beryl."
"You should have tried harder," Mars said angry.
"Mars, calm down he was leading multiple people he could focus on four in particular." Jupiter said pulling Mars down onto the couch.
"That explains, why your temper was so high earlier," Venus said which resulted in a simple nod.
"Gabriel, do you think you could give them the whole story." Queen Serenity said. "If you can't that's ok, but try, alright?"
"I'll try," Gabriel said looking up and starting his story not leaving out anything, he paused a several times to calm down and squeeze Serenity's hand.
When he finally finished, he lowered his head back down.
"That's pretty much it," Gabriel with a sniff, "I'm sorry I didn't protect them."
"Gabriel, its ok we'll get them back," Mercury said smiling, "besides they aren't exactly weak physically, or mentally."
"I know, but it's not so much that," Gabriel said getting up and going to look out the window, "it's the fear of what she'll do; will she brain wash them like the Torturians?"
"If she does…," Gabriel added, "they could come and kill us all, after all remember Beryl did say she had bigger plans."
"Gabriel, you have to think positive besides you don't know what the future holds." Serenity said.
"I know, but I'm still scared."
They all got up and walked over and gave him a hug.
"No matter what, things will turn out to be ok, you'll see." Venus said.
"I hope your right," Gabriel said, "but listen, I'm going to lay down for a little bit."
"Alright, we'll see you later," Mercury said as they all walked out, all except Serenity who got into bed next to him and snuggled up.
"Honey, I am so sorry I yelled at you I jumped to conclusions." Gabriel said to Serenity gentle, looking at her.
"Gabriel, its ok I probably would have acted the same way if the same thing happened." She said kissing her husband's lips before they fell asleep.
