Amara had had enough she couldn't take it anymore couldn't they all see how broken Serena was and they were all just making it worse. She glanced at the other three Outer Scouts. She conveyed in her eyes her want to help Serena so bad it was hurting her heart. She got a nod from Trista and Hotaru. She looked at Michelle and saw only acceptance and encouragement. Amara turned back to the others who were once again tearing down Serena.

She walked to Serena and took the other girl in her arms. She really hoped that Serena didn't reject her.

"If you don't want Serena, Darien, I'll gladly take her and treasure her."

With that they were all shocked when Amara kissed Serena.

Serena was blushing so hard her eyes closed but she didn't fight Amara. She felt the older girls tongue slip into her mouth and froze for a second clinging to the older girls chest. She then hesitantly kissed back a bit before the kiss was over. She could see Amara looked very pleased with herself. She quickly buried her head in the other girls chest.

The Inner Scouts and Darien were shocked. Rini and Hotaru looked interested and confused at the same time.

"Serena is trying her best and has greatly improved in the short time that we outer scouts have known her. Why you all can't see that is beyond me." Amara stated coldly. "Come on, Serena you're staying at my place tonight."

"Ah, but..."

"You can call your folks from the car." Amara replied. "Hotaru, grab Rini. Michelle grab Luna we're leaving."

Hotaru pulled her friend along not giving her a chance to turn back and go with anyone else. She noted that the girl seemed in shock she was herself. Michelle had grabbed Luna and she and Setsuna were following. They all got into Amara's convertible. Amara and Serena in the front Michelle, Trista, Hotaru, Rini and Luna in the back.

Serena fideled with Amara's top of the line cell phone in the car as the older girl drove.

"I changed my mind!" Amara snapped grabbed the phone she tossed it Trista. "You call her parents."

Serena was still blushing. Her mind was still trying to register what had just happened. She'd kissed Amara. Or rather Amara had kissed her and she'd kissed back. But why had she done that? That hadn't been her first kiss Tuxedo Mask had kissed her before. Serena drew from her knowledge of both kisses and made a conclusion. Even if Amara had been taking it easy on her she was still one hell of a kisser. Serena blushed worse at her own thought. She'd never pictured herself as being gay before. She glanced at Amara then down at her hands in her lap.

"Yes, we have Rini as well." Trista was saying. "Serena is just feeling really down since the break up with Darien and all of the others turning their back on her...yes, ma'am we'll make sure all three of them eat. Thank you, ma'am." Trista hung up and handed Amara back the cell phone. She was quiet for a moment. "You told your parents about me?" Serena blinked back at her. " She said, 'Oh, you're Serena's university friend that's studying physics.' I didn't think you would tell your family about me."

"Of course you're my friend." Serena replied, "I told them about Hotaru, Amara and Michelle too. My little brother Sammy keeps pestering me to bring Amara home so he can meet his racing hero."

Amara smiled at that.

"I'll have to come home with you soon then." Amara replied, "I'd like to meet your family."

They all watched Serena bypass brick red altogether in her blush.

"So does pizza sound good?" Amara finally asked after a long silence. "I don't think any of us feel like cooking tonight. We'll need ice cream too and soda."

Not for the first time Amara wished she could drink. Well, she could and had but it always seemed to lead to trouble like her parents, aunt and uncle finding out she and Michelle had slept together as in they'd walked in on the act. She could get quite handsy when she was drunk and she didn't want that to push Serena into a corner right now and she knew that she'd go after Serena because she'd had feelings for Serena since they'd first met. Even before she'd seen her as Sailor Moon or found out that she was the Moon Princess.

So they got pizzas, ice cream and soda and had a slumber party on the floor of Amara, Michelle and Trista's apartment where they lived with Hotaru. They camped out in the living room the next day was Saturday anyway so they stayed up and partied all night or rather sat around talking and laughing. Being only ten Rini fell asleep first clinging to Luna-P. Hotaru being 13 fell asleep second.

"Don't listen to a thing the others say, Serena." Amara said putting her arm around her. Serena looked up at her blushing slightly.

"yes, please don't." Michelle agreed. "We can all see how hard you've been working."

"Like Amara said, it's a mystery as to why they can't see it." Trista agreed.

They all noticed that their princess was on the verge of tears and this pissed Amara off.

"I'm sorry." Serena sniffled rubbing her eyes. "But they didn't start the fight tonight." the girls were shocked. "I did." tears came out of her eyes. "I saw Darien kissing another girl today...I don't think he's ever been serious about me. That he's only acting like it because of the future we saw and Rini."

She reached over and tucked the blankets carefully back around Rini who'd kicked them off.

"I ...confronted him and he laughed in my face..." Serena was shaking now. Amara held her while trying to hold in her own temper. "Said I was just a little brat who needed to mind her own business. "

Amara couldn't stop herself the next thing she knew her tongue was sliding gently into Serena's mouth. She kissed her slowly and gently. Again when Serena began to respond she pulled away.

"I would never treat you like a kid, Serena." Amara held her resting her head on Serena's. "I would never treat you like they do."

Amara laid them both down in her sleeping bag and held Serena close again she noted how Serena wasn't fighting against her or rejecting her in anyway. As Trista turned out all the lights Amara noticed how her 5'11" seemed to tower over Serena's 5'4" and not only that but Serena seemed so small in her arms as well. So fragile. She had to protect her from everything but then how did she protect Serena from herself?

On Sunday night Serena clung to Amara as she had a strange dream. A woman in a Sailor outfit with Serenity's hair floated in front of her.

"Who are you?"

"That is not important." the woman said. "What is important is the power inside you."

"I don't have any power." Serena said, miserably.

"You have more than you can imagine." the woman replied. "And it is time we show everyone. Time will reset back to when you first became a Scout..."

"NO!" Serena cried. "I don't want to lose Amara!" she blushed like mad. "and Michelle, and Hotaru and Trista or Rini."

"You needn't worry they will still be with you. All your scouts will."

"I'd rather a new set of Scouts."

"This can be done, Serena-dear." the woman said, but looked a little worried. "But the Inner Scouts will still remember. They will lose their powers but they will keep their memory."

"How can Darien be my soul mate?" Serena suddenly sobbed. This woman looked like her so maybe she would know.

"Who ever said he was?"

"We went to the future we saw it!"

"Ask Sailor Pluto the Future is not always set in stone it is always changing do to the decisions that we make even the smallest choice could change the course of the future." The woman touched Serena's compact and a white/silver light filled it. "you are now reset. Rini is back in her time and she will not remember this one."

Serena woke with a start in Amara's arms. The clock said it was only about five in the morning. She'd startled the other girl awake. Serena tilted her head back to see Amara smiling at her with soft, kind eyes. Her heart ached. She began shaking as she tilted her head back and offered Amara her open mouth. Amara accepted and claimed her lips in a soft gentle kiss.

"I had a strange dream." Serena admitted when it was over and they were just laying there with Serena draped over Amara's chest. " A woman who looked like me only with Serenity's hair and a different Sailor uniform said I had more power than I could imagine and that it was time to show everyone. She also said that I can get new Inner Scouts and that Darien isn't my Soulmate even though we saw it because the future is always changing and nothing is set in stone. She said that today will return to the first time I received my brooch and became Sailor Moon."

"That's all very interesting." Amara said absently rubbing her hand up and down Serena's arm. "Luna, is it true? We can get new Inner Scouts?"

"It is." Luna said, nodding. "Call a meeting today after school and I'll teach you how but it maybe awhile before we find these new girls and then they must train their powers."

"Maybe...I could somehow give the others a chance..." Serena sighed. "Maybe I can bind their powers a bit teach them what it feels like to feel weak and helpless during battle."

"You should never feel like that." Amara replied. "I am at your side."

Serena gave her a smile.

" A binding is possible too. You need to call the meeting of the Scouts only. Not Darien." Luna replied.

"I don't want to see him." she sighed.

You've slept in a bed. All status conditions, HP, and MP are restored.

Serena's scream woke the whole apartment and left Amara sitting up and rubbing her ears. Trista, Michelle, and Hotaru burst into the room pens at the ready. Amara had grabbed hers off the nightstand but her ears were ringing as she looked around trying to find the threat.

After getting Serena, somewhat, calmed down they asked her what was going on.

"Can't you see it?" Serena asked. "The pink screen with the golden star back ground floating in front of me?"

"No." Amara said, carefully. "could this power be the one the woman in your dream told you that you now had?"

"i guess." Serena said, and that seemed to snap her back to being calm. "Okay, if that's true then this should actually just help me get stronger. It shouldn't hurt me at all."

The girls all sighed in relief putting their pens in their pockets.

"I have heard of a power like this." Luna said, "Yes, I believe it's called Gamer and it was used to train the Sailor Soldiers of the past in our Solar System. Queen Serenity did not think that your group would need it so she didn't use it on them."

"She was obviously wrong." Hotaru yawned.

"I agree with you." Luna nodded. "We can work with this. Serena, you can make your chosen scouts stronger with this. say Team."

"Team." A screen shot up in front of her. "Oh, it's a list of the Scouts and look here it's a reserve list. But it says all of them are inactive. Why?"

"HEY!" everyone looked at Amara who was looking for her pen. "It's gone!"

The others concluded theirs were too as they could not find them. Amara's cell began ringing. She answered it.

"Who is this and why are you calling at 5: 20 in the morning?"

"It's Rei Hino." They heard the voice from the other side of the phone say it was on speaker. "I've been Fire Divining and my Pen was in my hand all of a sudden it vanished. "

"I don't know how you got this number but we're all in the same boat over here." Michelle said. "Amara, Trista, Hotaru's and mine have vanished as well. But Serena still has her brooch."

"As if that makes me feel better."

"I can and will hang up on you." Amara snapped.

They heard Rei clear her throat then heard a scream.

"Ah..." a few minutes later Rei was talking again. "Ami, Lita and Mina just woke up their pens are gone too and so are the communicators that's why I'm calling your cell I couldn't remember Michelle's number."

"We don't know what is going on either." Trista said.

"A meeting." Serena said, and the other side of the line went silent. "We'll meet today after school. Rei is it okay if we come to temple?"

"Yeah." Rei replied. "Is Rini still around?"

"No she's gone too." Hotaru finally spoke. "I woke up and she was just gone Luna-P too."

"Then yeah a meeting after school should be fine." Rei repeated. "Oh, Serena Ami says to remind you that you have an English test today..."

"I'm going to kill you!" Amara raged at the phone as Serena screamed once again panicked. Amara wasn't the only one rubbing her ears. "We just got her calm!"

"Sorry." Rei said, sounding smug and not like she meant it at all.

Amara hung up on Rei.

"I'm changing my number." She declared getting amused grins from the others. "Serena, calm down and add us so we can get our pens back."

"But if you show up with pens and the others don't have theirs then they'll think something is suspicious and that we were lying to them." Serena reasoned.

For coming up with a valid argument, 1 int and 1 Wis.

"True." Hotaru nodded. "Okay, we can wait until the temple then."

The others agreed.

they were soon all up and dressed and fed and Amara was driving Serena to school the others had gone in Trista's car.
