Chapter one
Three days ago
Rayne had been sitting with her mother enjoying her mother's Jasmin tea. They where awaiting Jadeites return. Jadeite and the other kings had taken a trip to the old moon of Earth to recover a few artifacts from their past lives. Mako and Rei had been in contact for the past few hours updating each other on rather themen had returned yet. As hours past the two Queen's became agitated. It wasn't until Rayne had stepped to her mothers fire that she knew something was severely wrong. She was leaning down onto one knee praying that her mother's fears were wrong. When she felt this overwhelming feeling of shock that brought a tear to her eyes. A flash of her father standing infrgont of King Endymion with his arm up as if he was blocking someone from reaching Endymion passed by her eyes. She felt true horror as she had never had a visionof this magnitude since she was a child. Quickly she rushed to her mother's side and explained what had happened still completely drenched in had just stepped into her mother's room when she was meet with the horrified face of her mom.
" mom.. What is wrong did you hear from dad?" she says as she steps closer to the frantic woman touching her shoulder with comfort. Mitzi hardly ever showed a soft side but at this moment she couldn't block her mother's pain out she knew there was something very wrong for a woman as strong as her mother to be this frantic... Mako managed to straighten herself up a little bit to reply to her concerned daughter. " Mitzi... Nephrite.. You're father and the Men are missing we've sent several search party's out and the last sight of them was in the tomb under the old castle.. There's no sign of them leaving the tomb but they are no where to be found. " Afraid to show her weak side to anyone even her mother Mitzi quickly rushes out of her mother'sroom and down into her green house. where she sits in a small corner trying to put the pieces together..
Present day
As the Search continues Rayne gets word from Mako that Mitzi has retreated into her room after trying to convince everyone she was fine by baking her mother's favorite cake. The cake ended up burning and she's been locked up in her room ever since... Rayne knowing how hard headed her best friend is proceeds to tell Mako " I'm on it... Expect to see me about 3 but do not tell Mitzi that I am coming she will throw a fit.."
Rayne makes her way to her mothers room and knocks on the door.
Rei " come in " Rayne slowly opens the door and smiles softly at her mother.. Rei clears her throat " I know that look Rayne what is it ?"
Rayne sighs knowing her mom could see right through her " mom I need to go to Jupiter.. Mitzi is not holding up well... " Rei quickly steps in the middle of her daughters explanation felling infuriated that Rayne would even think of leaving at a time like this " absolutely not Rayne what do you plan to accomplish by running off... Next thing I know you'll be missing as well " Rei shakes her head in frustration.
Rayne sighs knowing that her mother has every wright to worry but she can't help but want nothing more than being by Mitzi's side.. Rayne has always felt that way towards Mitzi. Going to visit ever chance she had as a child and now that they were older she practically went whenever she wanted. Rayne stutters slightly as she address her mom " Mom I understand you are concerned but Mitzi is my family and bestfriend if she is in a bad place I should be there with her.. I'm 20 now mom I didn't come for you're permission to leave I came so you wouldn't worry.. Now I will be gone for several days possibly. I told Mako to expect me by three o clock and I plan to be on time. I will have Mako let you know when I arrive" Rayne quickly leaves the room. Snatching any chance to protest away from her mother.. As Rayne retreats to her room she sighs and leans against her door hating that she was so firm with her mother but she knew if she wasn't she would've never made it out the castle. She quickly packs two bags throwing her favorite clothes into the bags as her mind drifts too her game plan to get Mitzi back on track... Without being electrocuted.. Rayne giggles at the thought crossing her mind she imagines Mitzi glaring a hole into her with her checks flushed and that cute angry face.. She quickly snaps out of her thoughts telling herself that now is not the time to be gocking over her bestfriend.. But she just couldn't help it.
Rayne stands on the teloprting platform waiting to see if her mother will come to see her leave. After a few reassuring workers are done talking to her Rei appears in the door way. Rei smiles softly at her daughter " You know you may have you're fathers kindness but you can definitely take after me with you're stubbornness" Rei hugs her Rayne " I love you and I realize you are grown but a mother will always worry.. Please give Mako a hug for me and my well wishes to Mitzi " Rei smirks slightly after saying Mitzi. Causing a slightly confused look from Rayne before she speaks " I will be safe mom I love you too " she returns her moms hug before stepping onto the platform lost in thought wondering about the smirk on her moms face. Before she realizes it Mako is tightly hugging her bringing her back to reality " oophh hello Mako " she giggles " mom sends her her love and a hug ". One of the maintenance lady's reaches for one of Rayne's duffel bags " no please let me get them Mitzi is not expecting me". Rayne offers a soft smile before picking up her own bags and heading towards Mitzi's room.
Mitzi paces in her room wondering what she could possibly do to help find them. All the Queen's are so busy with the kingdom's that the Search is hard to keep up with.. There has to be something I can do, she thinks aloud now unaware of Rayne standing in her door way. Mitzi paces back forth ranting out loud. " why must everyone think something is wrong with me ".. " why can't I just find them and fix everything " as she says her the last word Rayne starts to giggle at Mitzi. Causing Mitzi to jump and turn her attention to Rayne " Rayne ! What are you doing here at a time like this ?" Mitzi huffed obviously frustrated with her sudden appearance .. Rayne simply smirked and surged her shoulders causing even more frustration from Mitzi. Rayne was enjoying the flush pink in Mitzi's checks as she fussed " Rayne are you even listening what are you doing here " Mitzi repeated herself once more. Rayne surged her shoulders and simply says " eh I thought you might like some company tonight". Mitzi obviously not buying Rayne's explanation cuts her eyes burning a hole into Rayne. Rayne smiles and hugs Mitzi laying her head against her chest. Knowing that Mitzi couldn't hide her soft spot from her. " you're mom called she's worried about you.. So I came as soon as I could ". Mitzi sighs and just hugs her friend knowing she couldn't argue when Rayne hugged her like that..
