Hey everyone! How's it going? I am just peachy keen and head over heels with the guy in which I now think is a total sweetheart! Well, enough about that. There is something that I seem to be unable to stress enough........E-MAIL E-MAIL E-MAIL E-MAIL!!!! That's all I really have to say! So.....without further adu.....The Story! Truth Be Told CatWoman CatWomanTM@aol.com G ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "YOU CAN'T DO THAT, SERENA! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS!" Darien yells at me. I look away from him trying not to cry. I refused to cry. "I CAN AND I WILL, DARIEN! I DON'T CARE IF IT'S DANGEROUS OR NOT! ALL I CARE ABOUT IS GETTING MY FRIENDS OUT OF THERE!" I yelled back as I faced him once again. A lone tear fell down my cheek. Darien looked at me regretfully. He hugged me tightly. One hand on the back of my neck and the other on the small of my back. I dug my face further into his shoulder and sobbed. He kissed the top of my head. "I just want them back so badly! I miss them so much!" I whispered between sobs. "I know, sweetheart! I know! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you like that. I'm so sorry." he whispered back as he drew me in even tighter and closer. "All right you two.....we think we've got something!" Mina announced. Darien and I separated and walked back to the table where Mina, Hercules, Jason, Iolaus, and Lilith were sitting. Darien pulled out a chair for me and I sat somewhat relishing the fact that for the past 3 hours I have been walking, running, standing, training...everything, but sitting and relaxing. "Okay, so what do we have?" Dairen asked calmly. "Well, we think we know a way for Serena to be completely and entirely safe WHILE being alone in Ares' cave." Jason suggested. "I'LL DO IT!" I quickly yelled sitting straight up in my seat. "You haven't even heard the plan!" Iolaus said rather startled. "I don't care! If it'll get me in there and get my friends out safely.....well then, I'll do it!" I said as I relaxed once again. Darien rested his hands on my shoulders. "Serena.....stay!" Darien commanded. I sighed and looked around at everyone's faces. I don't think they realized how forceful I could be if I had to be. "What?!" I said almost in shock. "I never knew you were determined to the point of rudeness." Mina said in shock. "Well I am.....Now can we get back to the plan of me getting into that cave and out with my friends, my LIFE, and the crystal!" I said leaning onto the table and looking around at all the faces staring at me. "As we were saying. Mina has told us about this little thing called the 'Luna Disguise Pen', and as she explains it, it has a specail power that is even unknown to you." Jason began. "The power of it that you know, is that it can change your form into whatever you desire. But no one ever really tried to explore the factor of it allowing it's beholder to become.....invisible." he finally finished. I sighed and thought about what had just been suggested. "Can I use it on the others?" I asked. My own plan forming in my mind. "Yes, you can turn the others invisible also." Mina answered. "Good.....now I have my own plan. Yours won't work." I said. "Why not?!" Lilith asked in disbelief. "Because Ares can read what is known as power signitures. Any person who has even one-fourth of God in them, can be sensed by full Gods. Which means, that no matter what I do-weather I'm invisible or not-Ares will know I'm there. But I CAN get in there and get the others out and still keep the crystal safe. No guarentees about me though." I said rather sadly on that last part. "NO! I forbid it! I will not allow you to go in there and be without the crystal! You'll get yourself killed! I don't want you dead! I love you too much to let you go and slip out of my grasp again!" Darien pleaded. "Darien.....don't even try! Serena has that look in her eyes. You can't change her mind. Not even Artemis herself could stop Serena when she's like this." Mina said. There was a long, somewhat awkward, pause. "Wait a minute.....I have an idea! It's crazy, but it just might work!" "What is it?" Hercules asked impatiently. "The Gods! What if we got a few of them to help us. It might work! We could get them to cause a distraction or something." Mina suggested. It sounded like she was getting a little too excited about this. "That's a very good idea Mina! And it just might be crazy enough to work!" Darien said. "But what Gods are going to help us?" Iolaus asked skeptically. "Well, I know Apollo will most definately help! So might Artemis!" I suggested. "I could probably get Aphrodite to help!" Mina added. "Well, there's three!" Jason added. "You know you can always count on me to help Serenity!" a voice said. We all looked up to see Artemis standing before us. "You also know you can count on your Apollo and I, Rena!" we then looked around to see Derek and Apollo standing behind us. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Okay.....I am just a bit emotional. I just got back from a banquet for my choir class. And after saying good-bye to all my senior friends that I am going to miss a lot, I had several ideas for future stories. Therefore.....in the near future, if I am unable to figure out anything to write for this (even though I think I'm near the end), I will be submitting other new stories. There is, in fact, one I'm working on right now. One of my school friends (who, by the way, is having a few of her stories published, I'm so proud of her) and I are working on together.....namely I write and she gives me 'constructive criticism'.....I, however thinks it's more like I write and she tears it apart! But that should be coming out as soon as I'm done with this.
