THE SAILOR MOON DEMINSION

Last time: The Sailor Scouts were attacked. Serena used an extremely powerful attack. When the light from the attack died down Serena was lying face down unconscious.

The girls ran over, "Serena!" Serena wouldn't wake up. They all de-transformed, and Darien carried her inside. Serena lay there, still as stone, for hours. She didn't stir. Rei told Trista that they couldn't two days, they needed to leave now. Trista ordered the girls to go home and pack, they would meet tomorrow at midnight.

Ami's POV

It was after midnight by the time I left the shrine. As I walked home I couldn't help but think of everything that has happened. Serena is in danger; she could be close to death. And to top it off our world is colliding with another, and if they connect both worlds will be destroyed. It's astronomically rare that it could be predicted, let alone actually happen.

"Mom, I'm home."

I walked in, waiting, listening, but nothing. She wasn't home. Mom works all the time now-a-days, and the girls call me a workaholic. I knew that by the time I woke up she would be gone again. Would I be able to tell her goodbye? What would I even tell her?

REI'S POV

"Ms. Tsukino?"

"Yes?"

"Hi this is Rei, we were watching movies earlier and Serena fell asleep. Would you care if she stayed the night?"

"Oh not at all Rei. Thank you so much for calling."

"It's no problem at all. I also wanted to tell you that a bunch of us are going overseas for a nice vacation, before school starts back up. Serena was talking about asking to come. Could she?"

"Well I don't know. I suppose it would be ok. How long will you be gone?"

"Not long, just a couple of weeks."

"Well she'll need clothes; I'll start packing them in the morning."

"Thank you so much Ms. Tsukino"

"It's no problem at all Rei. Goodnight."

"Night."

Click. "Sheesh meatball head can't even make your own phone calls." Serena didn't move. "Oh Serena, please be ok. Who would I have to pick on if you left?"
"REI?"

"Yes, Grandpa?"

"Is Serena staying the night?"

"Yeah."

"Oh ok, well go to bed, it's late."

"Same goes for you, old man."

'How can I tell him? What about Chad? How do I pack up my entire life? Serena, I wish you were awake. Wait hold that thought. If you were awake all you would do is complain. Never mind crazy meatball head.'

After checking in on Serena one more time, I finally went to bed.

The flames rose higher, Rei tried to control them, but the smoke engulfed her. 'Where am I?' Suddenly a girl appeared, she was controlling the fire. 'Who are you? Answer me!' The girl slowly walked up to Rei. 'I am everything that you want to be. I am everything that you cherish, and I will destroy your life right before your eyes.' Suddenly the flames turned black. Rei could Please someone. Help' Suddenly there was a bright light. 'Rei Arista Hino. Rei. Reeeiiii. REI. REI! WAKE UP. REI'

What?! Where am I? Now I remember the dream. I looked at me arm, it was burnt. How did that happen?

"Rei? Are you alright?"

"Lita, What are you doing here? What time is it?"

"It's almost 11:30. And your grandpa let us in."

"Us?"

"Yeah, me, Ami, and Mina. We have already said our goodbyes and packed."

"Wow, I can't believe it's already noon."

"Yeah, well time flies when you're having nightmares. What happened?"

"Nothing it was nothing." I couldn't tell her, not yet at least.

"Your arm was on fire. That doesn't seem like nothing to me." She was right, but I still couldn't tell her.

"Again, it wasn't life and death so it doesn't matter." Hopefully she'll drop it. But Lita is very protective of us, so she probably won't. I decided to get out of the line of fire before it was too late.

"Lita, I need to go check on Serena, are you coming?"

"Oh, yeah, sure." She knows. Lita knows I am trying to divert her attention, but thankfully it works.

THE TIME GATES

TRISTA'S POV

The Time Gates are clouded. Do I tell the girls, that we may not ever return if we go? I won't be able to bring them back. But everyone that is supposed to be in their lives is in the next world.

"It is 5:30; I should go see if all the girls are ready."

THE OUTERS HOME

HOTARU'S POV

"Mama Michelle! Papa Amara! I am all packed. Everything is ready."

"Hotaru, you know you don't have to call us Mama and Papa." Michelle looked at me, with one of the most motherly expressions ever. And she wonders why I call her Mama.

"Michelle, even though I am 13 and you're not my real Mom. You have always cared for me, so it's natural." I smiled at her, hoping she wouldn't see my sorrow or dread. Sadly I was completely wrong.

"Hotaru, Why so glum?"

"I just have a feeling we will never see this place again."

"As long as we have each other, we are home. If we never come back, it won't matter. We are family Hotaru."

I looked around one more time, savoring all the memories. Me and Rini playing Candy Land at the kitchen table; Papa Amara always taking the remote away so she could watch the races, and then us arguing about it, and her winning because she would always end up tickling me into submission. There are so many memories here it's almost sad that we have to go.

But Papa Amara is right; home is where your family is. I will leave my house, but always have a home.
