Blaze Where do we begin to get clean again can we get clean again 3eb Illusion Part 4 2 years later Serena was in a confrence. Shortly after discovering the generals she had changed her image. She had cropped her hair short and dyed it black. She had also had her eyebrow and belly button pierced. Everyone was used to her way of dressing now. Her hair had grown shoulder-lengeth but was still black. She had also added blue and purple streakes in it. As the confrence went on she felt uneasy. Something was going to happen but what ? ******************************************************* "We have to think of a way to get them together again" Malachite said. The generals were having a meeting in their true form. "In case you forgot we don?t know where the others are and we don?t know why they parted" Nephrite said. " I bet Kit knows and is willing to say" Zoicite said. "Even if she does know what do you propose we do send an engraved invitasion. Invite them to stay at Serena?s as if she had sent for them" Jediate said sarcasticlly. All the generals exchanged looks. "Sometimes your not entirely stupid" Nephrite informed him. High praise from Nephrite. Jediate rolled his eyes and stuck out his tounge at Nephrite who stuck his out back. Malachite and Zoicite sweatdropped. ******************************************************** Raye went and got her mail. She didn?t expect anything special just junk mail. So she was suprised when she found a thick cream envelope waiting for her. Their was no return address. Curious she opened it. Inside was a letter she quickly read it over. Then read it again and again. It was from Serena finally after 4 years. Serena had written. She pulled out her scout communicator and pushed the all-call button. "Everyone come to the temple" was all she said. Then she sat down and waited anxiously. They had all givenup hope of ever hearing from Serena again. After she left it was as if she ever exsisted. Her parents had denied ever having a daughter. When pressed futher they had claimed the had no idea who Serena was and kicked them out. Shortly after that the team had slowly started to break up. They hardly saw each other now. Slowly now one by one they started to arrive. Raye sayed nothing. The last to arrive was Alex. " This better be good" she declared as she walked in. Michelle put a soothing hand on her arm and said "Be nice" . Alex calmed a bit. Raye began " I got a letter today-" Alex cut her off. "You called us because of your mail" Raye glared at her and said "As I was saying I got a letter today....from Serena" Everyone got quiet then Darien said "Let me see it" Raye handed it to him and everyone crowded around him. Darien began to read outloud. My daerest friends, Over the years I have missed you terribly. I think it is time we put the past away and move on. I cannot go to youat the moment so I ask you to come to me. I apologize for not having written sooner but i was terribly busy and was unsure of how you would feel. I hope you are no longer angry with me and take the oli ve branch I am extending. I have missed you and do not wish to lose the friendship we have had for more than a thousand years. Enclosed are seven plane tickets and a set of directions. I will unfortinatly not be able to meet you when your plane comes in if you chose to come. You friend always through thick and thin, Serena Everyone got quiet then Lita said "So what are we waiting for let?s go pack". Everyone shouted their affermatives and rushed off to pack. They were finally going to get to appolgize for their behavior 4 years ago. Never again would they doubt their princess. ************************************************************ Pluto watched from the gate of time. She smiled to herself. Finally everything was happening as it should. The one good thing she had to say about her job was it was better than the soap operas they showed on daytime tv. Especially Darien and Serena's lives. Sometimes it seemed as if Darien never learned from his mistakes. Susan constantly found herself yelling at him as she watched. She sighned. Damn i need a life she thought as continued to watch everything unfold. *************************************************************** Serena answered the door. She was suprised to see all 4 of the generals standing there. "Hey guys whats up" she asked. "We just dropped by to see if you were doing anything" Zach said. "Nah you guys know today is mine and Kits off day." Serena said. " So what were you going today" Matt asked. " Nothing really we were just going to hang around and watch some rented movies. You guys want to join us ?" Serena asked " What movie ?" Nate asked. " Blade" Serena replied ushering them in. " The one about he vampires ? Cool I?m in. Did I ever tell you guys about how I almost got a part in that movie" Jed said in his goofy way as Serena led them to the living roon. Serena smiled and said " Can it Jed". As they sat down Kit popped in the movie. Then suddenly shot to her feet "Oh I left the popcorn in the kitchen. I?ll be right back" then ran from the room. On her way to the kitchen the doorbell rang. Suprised that because she didn?t expect anyone she opened the door. Their on her doorstep were 6 women and a man. She stared at them and they stared back. she wondered why they seemed familar. "Serena" the man said and enveloped her in a huge hug. At first she felt a twinge of amusement then a little anger as she realized who they must be. She pushed him off. " Get hte fuck off me. I don?t know who the hell you are but if you don?t let go I?m going to sue your ass" Kit snapped. He let go of her and now they all stared at her in confusion. Kit heard footsteps coming in her direction and cursed inwardly. Serena must have come to check what was taking so long. "Hey Kit what happened with the pocorn the guys-" Serena broke off when she saw who was at the door. She atared shocked as did the scouts and Darien. Here stood Serena with shoulder-length Black hair that had purple and blue streaks in it. Her stood their Princess wearing A black halter top and Black bellbottom jeans. Here stood their Serena with a peirced eyebrow and bellybutton. she had a sort of gothic look going for her. She just stood their stunned then asked harshly " What the hell are you doing here" Amy answered tentavily " You invited us". Serena closed her eye?s and prayed for patience it didn?t come. She exploded " Nate, Matt, Zach, and Jed get your sorry asses over here now" she yelled. The four came looking a bit sheepish. " Um yeah" they all asked togheter nervously. " What the hell did you guys do" Serena asked icily. " We just gave you a push in the right direction" Nate said eyeing Lita who blushed lightly. She had hearts in her eyes and we all know what she was thinking " He looks like my old boyfriend" which was true he was her old boyfriend. " A push in the right direction I?ll give you a push in the right direction" Serena growlded and began to stalk over to him. He began to back away slowly cursing himself for answering. Kit blocked Serena?s way. " Calm down Sere maybe it?s for the best. this way you can work out whatever happened 4 years ago" Serena whirled on her. " You were in on this to of corse thats the only way they could have ever located the scouts. Damnit Kit how could you" Serena turned and fled the room and they all heard the kitchen door slam behind her. " That could have gone so much better" Jed muutered and Kit gave a small smile to the stunned people at the door. " Won?t you come in" she asked and then turned leading them to the living room. " Guess we won?t be watching the movie after all" Jed grumbled and Nephlite smacked him over the head. " Shouldn?t we go after her" Darien asked and Kit said " Nah she?ll be in the gardens till she cools down. Well here I am being rude i haven?t even introduced myself. I?m Kit Serena?s twin sister. You probably don?t remember me from the Silver Millenium I wasn?t around very much. You see my mother and father did not marry for love it was arranged because of the need to make an alliance between their kingdoms. We were on the verge of war but the marrage stopped that. When i was 5 i was forced to leave and go live with my father. I was to rule his kingdom which is in another galaxy in case your wondering. I didn?t get to see Serena as much as we would have liked but we were still very close. I was reborn along with you guys and i died at about the same time. I had come for the engagement party and before arriving ran into people I thought were friends and ended up with a sword through my chest." Kit said glaring at Matt who held up his hands in deafeat and said " How many times do I have to apologize. It wasn?t my fault I was totally under Beryl?s control" The scouts and Darien stared at him. " Who are you guys" they finally aked. " Before we show you just remember we?re on the right side now. We were just brainwashed before." Zoicite said and then they showed them their true forms. Everyone sat down hevily. It was to much first Serena then Kit and now this. Suddenly Raye stiffened and said " I feel an evil force nearby. Its coming from the gardens". " Sere" Kit yelled and ran towards the gardens the others on her heels. ********************************************************* Serena sat on a bench. as the tears fell from her eyes she angrily dried them. She hated to cry it was a show of weakness. She heard crackling laughter above her. Full of malice and darkness. It was very familar. She jumped to her feet and looked up. Floating above her was a woman her age. She had blood-rred haid with black streaks in it. Her orange-red eyes were blazing with fire and her mouth was curved in a cruel smile. " Its good to see you again Serenity" she said and Serena replied " To bad I can?t say the same Blaze". Serena never noticed the others had joined them. " Now Serenity is that any way to talk to an old friend" Blaze siad rependingly. " We were never friends Blaze rivals yes friends no." Serena snapped. " Oh drop the Illusion" Blaze said. " What are you talking about" Serenity bit out. " The act. The farce you put on. I know the truth. They don?t but I do. They have no idea about the things you?ve done. Not even Kittyana your precious little sister knows. No one even knows how you father really died." Blaze said threateningly. Serenity paled and hissed " Shut up." Blaze laughed " Why are you ashamed of your sorid past ? Come on Serenity we both know your not what you pretend to be. Nice and sweet even with the gothic look you got going now. Why not drop the illusion ?" Blaze said deliberetly mocking her. " Shut up" Serena yelled. " Why does the truth hurt ? Do you remember all the pain you inflicted ? The way you were feared and respected ? Do you remember ?" Blaze demanded. " YES and I wish I didn?t. That wasn?t me. I was younge and confused. That was never the real me." Serena yelled. Blaze laughed " Oh you are deluding yourself next thing you know you?ll be telling me about how this is the real you" Blaze said and motioned towards her clothes. " You know it was. You loved the rush and excitment. The danger and the havok you caused. Drop the illusion admit it that was the real you" Blaze taunted. Serena hung her head then lifted it. Something was diffrent now. Her eye?s held something new in them. Her eye?s showed nothing of what she felt except self-descust andand a coldness that could freeze you in your tracks. Her eye?s held a look that showed she was capable of anything. " You know what Blaze your right. Yhat was how I was but I?m not anymore. I am who I am I?m not who I was." Serena said icily. " How can you say that when you don?t even know who you are. I?m suprised at you Serenity you?ve gone weak. It must be from hanging around mortals for so long. I do belive I?m going to have to dispose of you now" Blaze said and Serena smirked " Not very likely" was her reply then they both fell into fighting stances. ********************************************************* Any comments or questions e-mail me at DarkBlaze1_1@hotmail.com.
