Seiya arrived home late that night after talking about Mina's newly found decision from that morning. The young starlight walked straight past Taiki who wondered why he was in a irritable mood. Not even bothering to knock Seiya walked right into Yaten's room, which set the silver haired starlight off instantly. Noticing how pissed his brother was Yaten racked his brain for what he possibly could have done to make Seiya so mad, but the bad part of it was was that he couldn't find any sort of logical reason.

"How dare you Yaten!"

"How dare me! How dare you! You're the one who stormed into my room!"

"I'm not the one who ruined a friend's dream!"

"What the fuck are you talking about!"

"Mina noticed how jealous you were yesterday at her autograph signing. So this morning she told Serena that she was giving up her dream, because of you my dear brother."

"Mina would never do that Seiya; don't you remember I was one of the judges who got her to where she is today."

"You may have passed her to where she won Yaten, but Mina and Serena got her to where she is today; not you. And she is Yaten and the reason behind it is because she foolishly fell for my star crazed brother who doesn't even give a shit about his own career!"

Yaten looked at his brother with a look at Seiya had never seen from him before—the look of guilt. Knowing what had to be done Seiya left the room and within minutes Yaten was out of the apartment to stop Mina from losing what she loved to do. Meanwhile Serena was trying to talk Mina out of the foolish decision that she had made.

"Mi-chan who cares what Yaten thinks. If he loved you wouldn't put you through this. Remember what I said on the roof of the school Mina? Don't forget your dream Mina. Dreams, love, hope, friendship are the many things we have and, because we have so many things to protect, we can fight together. (from episode 192)."

"Serena that doesn't matter anymore! We're not fighting evil, those days are over. We are normal people with normal lives now!"

"Who says it still can't apply Mina? We can still protect those things and fight together without being sailor soldiers."

"You're right Sere, but I just can't do this with the way Yaten acts about it."

"You can Mina, I didn't mean to act that way and I'm sorry. I was jealous of how fast you got to the top and the idea that I can't be there anymore aggrivatied me. Serena's right Mina don't forget your dreams those are some of the things we have to protect we can all fight together like we did at the very end."

Serena and Mina turned around to find Yaten standing in the doorway of the apartment looking as if he would cry right there for what he had done to her. Smiling at how Yaten reacted to what Mina was doing for him she nodded her head his way letting him know that she appreciated what he had just done. As he started to head closer to the two Serena excused herself and went to her room to take a nice hot relaxing bath knowing that Mina wouldn't be giving up her dream. Afterwards she found the two zonked out from all that had happened in the past hour. She covered the two up with the blanket behind them then headed back to her own room where she called and told Seiya that everything would be alright from here on out—for now that is.

I know it's short compared to the last few chapters and doesn't have much details and all that in it, but I wanted to get this chapter up so that I can start coming up with some ideas for the next chapter. Thank you to all of you who have reviewed so far and I hope you like this latest addition! –Usagichan-
