Chapter eight
Back in the lounge room, the four Inner Scouts were talking quietly amongst themselves trying to take in the fact that 'Serena' klutzy Serena was the Princess of the moon.
"I can not believe she had the crystals, all seven of them" Rei exclaimed rather loudly looking at everyone else.
"We did kind of cut her out of everything Rei, you know that," said Lita, wanting to go and look on Serena but decided that she should stay there until they were actually allowed.
"Yes we did, and I feel so guilty, I think the only reason I didn't push her completely over the edge was because we needed Sailor Moon, to defeat some of the stronger enemy." Rei said guiltily, "I have to apologize to her, and hope to the planet mars she will forgive me." She said this last part looking to her hands.
Once Rei had finished talking Andrew left Serena's room and walked back to the lounge room, and started to sort out the bags of food he brought from the arcade, the other girls saw what he was doing and went up and started to help him serve everything out.
Back in Serena's room, she had woken up, and was looking out the window, while Darien stood with his back her room, having not noticed that she was awake. Looking outside she saw that it was her signature symbol in the sky tonight; stepping out into the light letting it hit her, making her forget her pain about her family passing on. Darien finally realized that she was awake, walked up behind her and whispered, "Are you okay?" he wrapped his arms around her waist and let her lean against him. "You hungry?" he asked looking at her.
"What do you think? Am I ever not hungry?" she said looking at him with a small smile playing across her lips.
"Well your grieving period went fast." He said a little surprised.
"The moon heals everything for me, but I am used to the fact I can not bring loved ones back, I have had about 5 close family members pass on in the pass six months but I think I handle it a very different way to a lot of people, but every time I step into the moon it feels like someone is taking the pain from me." She explained then she started to walk out the door following the smell of food that was in her kitchen, leaving Darien following after her like a sheep.
When she walked into the kitchen Andrew cam up and gave her a hug, "I am so sorry, about your parents, honey, you know that I am here for you, and you Darien hurt her and I will hurt you, we both know what we are talking about." Darien nodded and grinned at Andrew. Meanwhile Serena was eating as if there was no tomorrow. "Whoa slow down there Princess," said Rei without realizing she spoke. Serena looked up and laughed, "Rei, nice of you, nice, ha ha," all four of the girls went up and started all at once started bowing and apologizing to her. "Girls I forgive you just don't ever do it again," she said and went back to eating, gesturing for them to join her.
