Minako, Makoto, Rei and Ami all woke up with a scream. They leapt out of their sleeping bags and met together in the living room. They were all panting and covered in a cold sweat.
"Did you?" Makoto asked Rei, she nodded "And you?" She pointed to Ami who nodded "And you?" She asked Minako who also nodded trying to catch her breath.
"Is everyone ok? We heard screams?" Kyle's drained voice echoed throughout the room.
Minako let out a sob and threw herself into Kyle's shocked and sleepy arms. It took him a while to register before he firmly wrapped his arms around her and smiled into her hair.
Zack suddenly entered the room with a frown as he saw the embracing couple and looked to Ami for answers. Her eyes told it all. He smiled and ran up to her, enveloping her in a sweet but powerful kiss.
Makoto ran out of the room into the guy's room and saw Nate fast asleep huddled in his sleeping back; she pushed past James that was making his way into the living room and knelt beside her former beloved.
She layed down next to him and stroked his face then she cupped his cheek and kissed his sleeping lips, instantly he awoke with wide eyes as he felt her kissing him. He smiled against her lips and kissed her back passionately.
James walked into the living room, already guessing what was happening. He looked up into Rei's watering eyes. He gave a weak smile and she glared at him. She closed her eyes, pushed past him and out of the front door. Without a word he chased after her.
She stormed down the road, her vision blurred through tears as she heard quick footsteps behind her.
"Go away James" Her voice quivered as her pace quickened
"Rei please just listen to me" His desperate voice flew past her ears; suddenly his hand was on her arm in a gentle but firm grip.
"Get off of me!" She yelled trying to break free of her grasp
"Not until you listen to me!" He cried
"You knew all along didn't you" Her voice quivered as she stared straight into his eyes. Her eyes had fire in them that was flaring angrily. "You knew all along and you didn't tell me!!" The tears that she had been fighting back starting to cascade down her flushed cheeks.
"You had to find out on your own, you know I couldn't have. It was up to destiny" James explained softly but quickly.
"SCREW DESTINY!" Rei screamed "FOR THE PAST HOWEVER MANY LIVES I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING DESTINYS STUPID GOD FORSAKEN RULES! AND LOOK WHERE IT S ENDED UP! DETINY BRINGS NOTHING BUT PAIN AND SUFFEREING" She fell to the ground sobbing, James followed her and bent before her, he let go of her arm and wiped away the tears on his cheeks. She closed her eyes, leaned into his warm touch and sobbed a little more violently. She took in a deep breath and opened her eyes. "Destiny can go fuck itself" She said in a deadly calm voice
"We're going to solve this Firefly; I promise you…it'll be over soon, I can feel it…." James's voice soothed her as she wiped her eyes.
"That stupid Odango, she's always getting herself into these situations!" Rei laughed to herself, sniffling "I just pray to the goddess Selene that it'll come out ok this time. I don't want to loose you again James" She fell against his chest as he stroked her hair gently.
------------------ Later on --------------
"Why is everyone all of a sudden coupled up?" Mamoru asked watching as the couples kissed and hugged.
"You mean you don't remember?" Ami asked confused
"Obviously…" Mamoru's dry voice replied
"Why doesn't he remember?" Makoto asked, sitting on Nate's lap on the sofa.
"Because it wasn't his memory to be unlocked" A new feminine voice called out through the room.
Everyone turned to the door as two cats and a little girl walked in.
"Luna?" Minako asked questionably, Chibi-Usa hugged Mamoru as he set her on his knee gently. Artemis stood next to Minako as she started to stroke him softly.
Luna gave her a smile and walked up to Mamoru.
"The Luna mind meld" She said simply, a soft glow emitted from her crescent moon as Mamoru jumped back in surprise as it hit his forehead. Suddenly he gasped and jumped back as the beam disappeared.
"I remember now…." He whispered
"Wait a second" Ami said suddenly "Can't you do that mind meld on Usagi-Chan?" She asked the black cat.
"What do you mean Ami?" Rei asked with a frown
"She means to relieve Usagi's good memories of us all" Zack interrupted before Ami had a chance to explain. Ami smiled.
"Exactly" She said
"That's a brilliant Idea Ami-Chan!" Minako cried
"Luna would it work?" Makoto asked
"It's a possibility…" The cat replied
"Well its better than Emeralds plan" Mamoru scowled in remembrance
"Matte….Where is Emerald?" Artemis asked
"If any luck, dead" Mamoru grunted
"Mamo-Chan that's not a very nice thing to say" Chibi-Usa spoke for the first time
Everyone looked at Chibi-Usa with a smile. She was being mature.
"She's right Mamoru, you should be showing gratitude that she tried to help us" Nate replied.
Mamoru sighed "You're right…Gomenasai minna…I guess im not exactly with it right now"
"That's understandable Mamoru-San, demo, don't beat yourself up…" Ami smiled warmly at the young man. He gave her a small weak smile in return.
"So that's our new plan of action then?" Rei asked, her eyes flittering between them all.
"But what if it doesn't work?" Zack asked
"It has to work" Mamoru said firmly
"I know Mamoru demo, we have to think logically…the plan could fail…we need a back up plan…" Artemis said
"The only other option for a back up plan is Emeralds…" Makoto said, she grimaced as soon as it escaped her lips as she threw a wary look towards Mamoru.
"What is Emerald-Sama's plan?" Chibi-Usa asked
"It doesn't matter, we're not going to do it" Mamoru gave the girl in his arms a squeeze.
Everyone let out a sigh and Chibi-Usa looked a little annoyed that she was being left out.
"So then we wait until they attack again?" Kyle asked
Everyone nodded.
