All in the Hands of Fate and Destiny chapter-5 I know the ending to the last chapter was crappy, but my brothers friend was reading over my shoulder and I had to type fast and send it so he couldn't read it. Anyway, this one is when their back to training........After Serena is out of bed. But no one knows Serena and Darien are an 'item', yet.:) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Training Field "So, is everybody here?" asked Mars. "Everyone except Mina and Serena." replied Jupiter. Raye looked over to where the generals were but she didn't see them over there. "Where are they?" she asked impatiently. Amy pointed a subtle hand over to the table at the left hand of the field. "I'll be right back." mumbled Raye as she started walking to the other side. Amy and Lita did their best to hold back their giggles. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Other side of Training Field "What are Mina and Serena doing over there?" asked Malachite out of curiosity. "Who knows. They're girls, anything's possible." Said Zoicite. " Hey Zoi, on a change of subject, I herd you and Amy were kissing in the library." said Neflyte with an amused expression on his face. "Well," Zoicite returned as a blush started to cover his face , "I herd you and Lita were doing more than cooking in the kitchen." This time, it was Neflytes face that turned red while he dropped his sword. "Jadeite had Raye sitting in his lap when Serena was sick." Neflyte said to get the subject off him and Lita. "And I'm sure they were doing more then that to" "Hey, don't look at me, Malachite and Mina were walking hand in hand down the hallway." Jadeite replied quickly. Darien started to laugh as he said, "You should see the color of all your faces. It's even more red than when we first met the girls and Serena and Raye came crashing through the door. This is priceless." All the men fell silent though when they herd a fiery voice yell, "WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TWO PLAYING GO FISH. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TRAINING TO FIGHT BERYL." All heads turned to the table at the left side of the field. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Table Raye stomped over to Mina and Serena just as she herd Serena say 'go fish'. Then she saw Mina dig into what seemed like an endless pile of cards and add one to her hand. "Gimme all your threes." said Serena "Why you lucky duck." replied Mina as she handed her the card she had just picked up. "Lucky duck?" Serena asked warily. "Ummmm, forget it, go again." "What are you guys doing?" Raye asked out of nowhere. And might I add she said it just a bit to sweetly. "Playing go fish." Serena replied just as sweetly. ""WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TWO PLAYING GO FISH. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TRAINING TO FIGHT BERYL." Raye screamed at the top of her lungs. "Lollipop?" Serena asked casually as she stuck a cherry dum-dum out to Raye. By this time the rest of the occupants in the field were there "No thanks." Raye growled Serena unwrapped the lollipop and popped it into her mouth. "My turn?" she asked Mina as if nothing had happened. "Yup." she replied as she fidgeted to get comfortable in her seat. "Hello?" said Raye waving an arm in front of Serena's face. Serena pulled the lollipop out of her mouth for the moment and said "Mom said I can't fight today because she doesn't want me to get hurt." "And you?" Raye pointed to Mina "I'm her personal guard slash servant for the next twenty four hours." "Your fine though. You don't need a personal servant." "Hey, I'm just doing what my mom said." "Well, do it somewhere other than the training grounds. You're distracting everyone." said Raye in an annoyed voice. Serena scrunched her mouth to the side and had a look of consideration on her face. This look made Darien smile. When she had made up her mind she said, "Tell Luna that Mina and I are working on our magic skills in my room." "Sure thing." piped in Lita before Raye could argue with her. Amy and Lita then drug Raye back to where they came from with a few inaudible protests from her. The two scouts left smiled towards the guards, then exited the field giggling about something. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dinning room(I'm skipping to the evening because I wanted this chapter to be light and I had an idea for dinner) Everyone was seated by rank in the dinning room. The queen and king of earth on one end, and Queen Serenity on the other. Three occupants were missing. "We'll start dinner once everyone arrives." said King Stephen. "Luna is probably getting Mina and Serena right now." At the moment, the oak doors opened and in stepped Serena and Mina with flushed faces. "Are you feeling all right dear?" asked Queen Serenity with concern written on her face. "I'll be fine." Serena replied as she sat down. She glanced at Darien who was sitting across from her and he flashed her a smile. At this time Queen Gaia noticed that Luna wasn't there and asked, "Where is Luna, I thought she was with you two." There was no response from either of the girls. Mina only started to turn red from holding in her laughter. "I'm sure she'll be here soon. Why don't we start dinner." said Queen serenity as she gave a disapproving glance to Serena and Mina. She knew something was up. Midway through dinner the doors cracked open and a cat with red, green, orange, yellow, blue, pink, white, gray, and brown blotches walked in. Serena covered her mouth with her hand and Mina put her head on the table stifling the laughter that was overcoming her. The cat, which resembled Luna except for the color, glared at Serena and Mina then spoke. "Do you think this is funny. I have no idea how to get it off." "Luna?" asked Queen Serenity, shocked. "I haven't a clue what you're talking about Luna." Spoke Serena laughing while she said it. At this point Mina started laughing so hard she fell out of her chair. This caused Jadeite, Raye, Lita, and Neflyte to start laughing. Amy and Zoicite glanced over at each other then looked at Mina again and broke out laughing. By this time Queen Gaia and King Stephen had small smiles playing on their faces that they were trying to cover up. Artemis walked up to Luna and said, "What happened? Trying to paint your claws again?" Luna was about to attack him when Queen Serenity said "Enough.". She was slowly getting the urge to laugh but knew it would be a bad example to Serena. "Serena, undo the spell on Luna. Then we'll forget about this. But if it happens again, you will be punished. Mina, next time I expect better judgment on your behalf." Mina nodded as Serena said, "Um, just one problem." "Yes." "I don't know how to undo it." "Amy?" "It's just a 10 hour spell. By tomorrow morning, you'll be as good as new." Luna smiled a little bit then glared again at Serena and Mina. "I'll remember this." She said to them. "You'll have extra work to do at training tomorrow." Serena and Mina mock saluted Luna then dinner continued on as normal. Whatever that may be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By now you're all probably thinking I'm crazy. The ideas about go fish and the painted Luna just popped into my head and I had to use them. I have no other story and I wanted to make this chapter funny so I figured, what the heck. Don't worry, this is really the only one that's gonna be like this. Send any kind of feedback to danielle.devlin@dol.net ~Danielle~
