AN: Sorry once again for the long update. The plus side is that it is about 300 words longer. Hope you enjoy and please review.

Serena paced down the hallway. In just a few minutes all her friends would be there. She walked back into the living room and checked it. She had placed all the junk food on the coffee table and surrounding floor area.

She had bough chips, of many types and flavors, extra butter popcorn, which she'd already popped, and lots of candy. She'd gone crazy and bought a lot, but she had been having some major food cravings.

The knock of the door snapped her out of her thoughts. She sighed and held her stomach. All of a sudden she felt nauseous. She had to tell all her friends that she'd been raped and that she was now pregnant with a child that wasn't of her betrothed's.

Serena walked to the door and opened it. There stood her four best friends. Serena forced a smile on and let them in.

" Hi guys."

" Hi," the girls chorused.

Serena led them to the living room. " I went all out for the junk food," she said blushing as she looked around.

The girls giggled and then got into their pajamas. Sitting down, Serena went over to the TV. She picked up the remote control and placed in a disk. Turning back to her friends she looked at them sheepishly.

" I was hoping that you guys wouldn't mind if we had a Mandy Moore movie-a-thon. I really wanted to watch them. Sooooo romantic," she said sighing dreamily.

Mina laughed. " Of course not. I love all her movies." The other girls said similar things.

" Good." Serena walked back to the couch and sat down. The previews started but Serena wasn't paying attention. She knew that she had to tell them. She wouldn't be able to enjoy her evening until she did.

Serena sighed audibly and paused the screen. Four pairs of eyes turned and stared at her. She looked at them and opened her mouth, but no words came out.

" Are you okay, Sere?" Lita asked concerned.

Serena nodded. Taking a deep breath she finally talked. " I have to tell you guys something. I've been holding something in for quite some time now… avoiding telling you guys. I hope you'll forgive me for not telling you guys as soon as I knew."

Amy smiled understandably. " Of course we forgive you Serena. You're our leader and best friend. I'm sure you have a good reason for not telling us whatever it is."

" Thanks Amy, but the thing is I didn't have a reason, not really. I guess I was to ashamed to tell you guys."

" What is it Serena? You know we'll back you up no matter what it is," Raye said, her words shocking Serena and all the other girls as the eyes all turned to stare at her in shock. " What?" she said as she turned away angrily.

" I'm pregnant!" Serena blurted out before she could stop herself. She mentally slapped herself. Great going, Serena! Tell them that you're pregnant before they know that you got raped.

She lowered her head as she heard four loud gasps. Then Mina, who was sitting next to her, reached over and hugged her. The next minutes of questions swarmed around her faster than she could to answer them and explain.

" You and Darien finally had sex!" Mina screamed excitedly.

" You didn't use protection?" Amy said in her usual Amy-like self; that question not surprising Serena at all.

" So that means that Rini is coming to this century soon as a baby?" Lita asked.

" You had sex before me?" Raye shouted in shock, her face turning scarlet.

Serena didn't answer. She couldn't. They all assumed that she had had sex with Darien. How could she tell them that she hadn't? Serena felt tears escaping her eyes. Jumping up, she ran into the bathroom and locked the door.

After a few minutes she heard footsteps and then knocking on the door.

" Serena? What is the matter?" Mina asked softly. " I thought it was good news."

No answer.

" Oh Serena. I'm sure it will be okay. You got all of us here to help you. Plus Darien of course," Lita said trying to get her friend to talk.

Still no answer.

" And he has a great job, right, so money won't be a problem," Amy stated calmly.

" They're right, Serena. Everything will be okay," Raye finished off quickly.

There still came no answer from the bathroom, just sobs. Long, soul retching sobs. The girls didn't know what was wrong. They slowly retreated to the living room to give their friend some alone time with her thoughts.

After quite a few minutes, Serena quietly returned to the living room. Her gaze was on her shoes not wanting to explain her sudden absence. Once she sat down on the couch, she quietly tried to explain, knowing that they would ask sooner or later.

" I'm not happy about the baby," Serena mumbled. Saying that was a start she guessed.

" Why not?" Mina asked softly as she hugged her best friend.

" Because the baby… the baby isn't Darien's."

Once again four gasps came from the girls. " What do you mean?" Lita questioned in confusion.

" You cheated on Darien?" Amy asked bluntly the obvious question they all wanted to ask her.

Serena shook her head. " Of course not."

" Then I don't understand…" Mina's voice trailed off as she went into deep concentration.

" I was… raped," Serena sighed deeply as she remembered that night.

" Darien couldn't take me to the concert, he was too busy, so Seiya offered to take me. After the concert he forced me into this room and…" she looked up at them with big tearful eyes, " He was too strong… I tried to transform, but he tossed my broach away."

Mina gently patted her back. " Oh Serena. Why didn't you tell us? We would have tried to help you deal with this."

" Yeah Serena. I could have gone over and kicked Seiya's butt," Lita said as she flexed her muscles.

Serena smiled. " Don't worry. Seiya already got what he deserved. I transformed into Sailor Moon and kicked his butt… then Darien and Andrew beat him up too."

The girls nodded understandably. After a few minutes of quiet, Amy spoke up. " Are you going to keep the baby?"

Serena didn't answer for a second. She wanted too but she didn't know if she'd be able to look at the child and not think of the pain that had been caused.

" I think I will. Seiya doesn't know… no one knows except you guys and Darien, although Darien, Yaten, Taiki, Andrew and you guys all know about the rape. Oh and one more thing, Andrew and Darien called the police and had him arrested. As long as I go back tomorrow for a test to prove the rape."

" We'll all help Serena. We will do everything in our power to make sure that Seiya doesn't escape," Raye said angrily and the others nodded.

" Thanks you guys. There is just one thing else…"

They all looked at her slightly scared. She smiled. " Its not about me… its about Star Fighter. The others were right about her… she's no good."

" How so?" Lita asked.

" Well…" Serena drawled, " She's a he. Darien and me saw her transform from her civilian form."

" Well who is she?" Amy asked as she took out her mini computer and started typing the information into it.

" Seiya," Serena coughed into the air while covering her mouth.

" What?!?" Mina yelped. " Seiya?!? But he… he raped you…"

" That's just sick," Lita agreed.

Serena nodded and smiled to her self. Everything was out in the open and she could enjoy the rest of the night with her best friends.

" Now that that's all been said, lets get on with this movie night, okay?" Serena asked softly. The girls nodded and got ready for a fun evening.

After watching A Walk To Remember and Chasing Liberty and eating tons of junk food, the girls quietly pulled out their sleeping bags and lay down. But none of them fell asleep for hours, and they went on talking in hushed tones well into the night.
