"Oh...no...no, not her too!" Serena said in horror. She knew that if the temple was really abandoned, then Raye was gone, because this is where Raye lived. Serena was ready to faint. "First Darien doesn't remember me, then I find Luna and Amy missing, and now Raye is gone too?" Serena said aloud. It was almost to much for her to handle.

"You having some trouble, missie?" A familiar voice asked from behind her.

Serena jumped. The voice had startled her.

"Oh, sorry to startle you, young lady." Serena turned to see Raye's grandpa.

"Oh, thank goodness, it's you! What happened to your temple?! Where's Raye?!"

The old man laughed. "Well," the old man replied, "I'm flattered for you to think that I own a temple. I don't own a temple and I sure don't own a run-down piece of junk like this." The old man stopped laughing. "As for someone named Raye, I never heard of them. Is this Raye a friend of yours? Is she missing? I'll file a missing person's report if you want me to."

"N...no...thanks...that...OK..." Serena said with absolute horror written all over her face.Did Raye's Grandpa really not remember he had a grandaughter named Raye?

"You all right?" The old man asked. "You look as if you've seen a ghost." He paused. "Liik, it's no good to you or your friend to worry yourself to death. Why don't you try and relax somewhere?" He started to walk away but turned to face her and waved and said, "Well, I gotta be going now. I hope you find your friend, though. Bye!" He turned around and walked out of sight.

"I...I suppose...he's right..." Serena thought. "Maybe I'll head over to the arcade try to relax there. That'll also give me time to think about what's happened."

As she headed towards the arcade, fear gripped her heart. "What if Lita and Mina are gone too?" She thought. "Then I'm..." She paused."...All alone.If Mina is gone then Artemis is gone too." Mina hardly went anywhere without Artemis. "Why?!" She said aloud, loud enough for everybody on the street to hear her. People turned around and stared at her wondering why she had to anounce to the world what was on her mind.

"Hi, Andrew." Serena said sadly when she walked into the arcade.

"Hi, Serena!" Andrew said with a happy voice.He smiled and waved. He stopped waving an started towards her. "Hey, whats the matter with you? Why do you look so sad?" He smiled. "Cheer up! I cleared everyone from your favorite games!"

"Even Sailor V?" Serena said giving Andrew a half-hearted smile.

He had a puzzeled look on his face. He scratched his head thinking. "What kinda game is that? What IS a Sailor V anyway?"

Serena couldn't handle it anymore. She blacked out.

When she awoke, she saw Andrew standing over her. "You all right now? You scared me when you just hit the floor all of a sudden. What made you faint?"

Serena couldn't answer. She started to cry. She was almost sure all of her closest friends in the world had dissapeared, gone. She felt all alone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Serena,what's wrong?First you pass out, and now you start crying for some unaparent reason. I can tell something is bothering you, so why don't you tell me what it is?" Andrew said.

"Oh Andrew, some of my friends are missing!!!And my cat's gone too!!!"Serena finally managed to say through her tears. She didn't dare say more, because if Darien didn't even remember that she was his girlfriend, there was little chance that Andrew would remember. And it was obvious tht nobody seemed to remember Sailor V.

"That's horrible! You should file some missing persons reports.But you don't look up to it right now.How about I go down to the police department and file those reports for you later today?"She nodded."OK..." Andrew scratched his head and said,"I never knew you had a cat." This made Serena cry harder."Oh, I mean I'm really sorry about your cat, I just never knew you had one..."Andrew said.A sweatdrop appeared on the back of his head.He was starting to get himself in trouble."Look, I think I have some tissues in the back. I'll be right back ok?"She nodded. She wiped away her tears and tried to stop crying. "If nobodys ever heard of Sailor V, that must mean..." Serena almost couldn't think about it without breaking down again."That Mina's gone and Artemis with her."She thought.She knew Mina hardly went anywhere without Artemis.

Suddenly a faint hope, an idea, rushed into Serena's head. "Maybe..." She said aloud. "Maybe this isn't real.Maybe this is all just a bad dream, a nightmare.She deceided to find out."If I pinch myself and it doesn't hurt,than this is all just a bad dream.If not, then I'm alone..."She told herself. She really hoped that it was just a bad dream.She pinched herself hard.

"OUCH!!!" She screamed.She winced at the pain.She looked at the spot she pinched herself and found a trickle of blood running down from the spot. She had just started to cry when Andrew ran back into the room with a box of tissues.

"Are you all right? I thought I heard a scream." He looked at her arm. "What happened?!" He didn't wait for an answer and took one of the tissues and held it down hard against the spot. It kept bleeding. "Look, that thing doesn't want to stop bleeding,so I'm going to go get some bandages and a wet towel to fix it up." He set the box of tissues down and left the room to go find the items.

All of a sudden, Serena heard a voice come from somewhere in the room. A black fog appeared. "You thought you had nothing to worry about after you defeated Queen Beryl and Queen Mettalia." Came a voice from the fog. "You and your friends will be punished for your ignorance, Moon Princess."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"W...who are you?" Serena asked. The fear in her voice suddenly changed to anger."Who are you and how do you know I'm the Moon Princess?! What did you do to my friends?" Serena demanded.

A laugh came from the fog. "Well, you must remember my sister.Don't you?" The voice was definatly female.She(the voice)continued before Serena could respond. "Well, I'm Queen Mettalia's sister, Moon Princess!" She laughed. "My name is Queen Mimra, but you may call me 'The Dark One.' As for your friends they are as good as dead unless you give me the Silver Crystal by midnight tomorrow night.If you give me it to me now,no harm will come to your friends.If not, you must find me by tomorrow night, or your friends will die.If you still don't come after tomorrow night thinking you can just hide from me,I'll start killing everyone else you hold dear.Starting with your family and closest friends who aren't scouts.Even...What was his name again? Oh yes, now I remember...even your friend Darien...I will restore his memory and give you your friends back if you hand over the Silver Crystal now. Or else...I'll kill everyone you have ever cared about...including your cat."

"Never!I'll never hand over the Silver Crystal!" Serena thought about Darien and the scouts and Luna. "I'll kill you to get them back!That's a promise!!! I will get them back, hear me!!! Serena lunged at the fog, so angry she forgot that she would just go through the fog and hit the wall head on.The fog dissappeared right before she collided with the wall.SMACK! Serena heard a sick sounding crunch just as she hit the wall.She hit the ground and rubbed her head.The fog had dissapeared, but the voice still remained.Mimra laughed. "You?Kill me?You couldn't even hurt that wall you just slammed into!" Mimra stopped laughing. "Stupid choice, princess. You are very selfish! Letting your friends die just so you can keep the crystal!Fine!For every hour past midnight tomorrow that you aren't at my palace, I will kill one of you friends. How does that sound to you?" Mimra laughed. Oh, and sorry I'm not telling you where it is!And if you refuse to give me the crystal even after everyone else is dead, I'll come and kill you and just take the crystal!!! Goodbye,Princess!" Mimra laughed and the her voice faded away. Serena tried to stand up, but instead droped to the floor and passed out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I found her slumped against a wall." A voice said.The voice sounded familiar.Everything was faint, though Serena was sure she recognized the voice from somewhere.She tried to open her eyes, but one eye wouldn't open and the other stung. She heard another voice.

"Was anyone else in the room besides her?" The new voice asked.She didn't recognize this voice.

"No, I'm sure there wasn't anyone else in the room," another voice said.She recognized this voice too, but not as much as the first voice.The third voice continued. "I just left her alone to get some bandages for her arm. Then my friend here came in and found her on the ground,unconious." That voice had to belong to Andrew. She guessed that she must of knocked herself out when she hit the wall. That would mean the voice she didn't recognize must belong to a doctor, because she guessed she was in the hospital. But that first voice she heard...It sounded like Darien! "Nah, can't be." Serena thought.But then who was it?

"Well, whatever happened, it seems she has a concussion. One of you should stay with her. You can tell her of her condition and ask what happened when she comes to."

"I will." The voice that sounded like Darien said. That was the last thing she heard before she passed out again.

When Serena came to,she moved her rm around the hospital bed to make sure she still had her locket with her. She even opened the stinging eye and scanned the bed for the locket. She even looked on the stand next to the bed.She couldn't find the locket anywhere. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
