Serena dashed around her spacious apartment; wiping off tables, spraying windows and vacuuming floors. Time passed by rather quickly for her and before she realized it, she was laying on her leather couch in her living room looking at the now spotless room around her. "Wow!" she breathed in surprise, "I guess I should clean more often..." She giggled at the thought, knowing she never would as her eyes darted around the room amazed by how nice it looked compared to it's usual messy look. She sighed in happiness as her eyes drifted closed.

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

"Hmm...one of these...and a couple of these...oh lotta these!" Lita said as she walked down an aisle at the shopping center, placing numerous amounts of food in her cart. "Oh today's going to be so fun!" she laughed to herself as she made her way to the register.

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

Light poured through a now clean window and onto Serena as she lay sleeping on her couch. She yawned sleepily as she opened her eyes, blinded by the bright sunlight and rolled off her couch. "Ooph!" she grunted as she hit the floor. "Friggin' floor..." she grumbled as she stood up, blinking her eyes. Looking at the clock on her wall, Serena sighed. "Quarter to Two..." she said aloud as she walked through her apartment. "Clean." she told herself in amazement, she still couldn't believe it. This was the first time her place had been clean since she'd cleaned her room when she was a kid. Serena's heart constricted with a pang of torture as her mind drifted back to her childhood for a moment. Her body turned cold, frozen in fear as she pictured his shadow looming over her. Always at night. Always his shadow She thought as her lungs burned for air, but she could not breathe. She was young again, cowering in the corner on her hard wood bedroom floor. Looking up as the shadow came nearer. She saw his eyes. Her gazed locked onto them, those cold yet loving eyes. She tried to breathe as panic overtook her but she couldn't. Her lungs wouldn't let air in. She choked and sputtered as she tried to breathe in. She could not. His laugh rang in her ears as her vision darkened and she fell to the ground.

Mina walked through Blockbuster, looking for video's to watch later that night. She must've looked at a thousand movies before she found three acceptable ones. She looked at the movies in her hands... Die Hard...Lethal Weapon 4 and Two Weeks Notice. She smiled, she already knew which one would be picked! She purchased the movies and headed to Serena's apartment.

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

Lita stood knocking on Serena's apartment door as the chime of the elevator grabbed her attention. Looking down the hall toward the source of the sound, Lita watched as her friend Mina exited the elevator doors and turned toward her. The blonde smiled at her and waved her hand happily as she ran down the hall to Serena's door. "So what'd you get?!" Mina asked excitedly as she snatched at the one of the bags of food in Lita's hands.

 

"Ah. Ah. Ah!" Lita giggled, "You'll just have to wait and see!" She told her overzealous friend as she knocked once again on Serena's door. "Serena open up! It's Lita!"

 

"And Mina!" the blonde giggled

 

"She not answering. That's strange, she must've went out..." Lita said more to herself than to Mina

 

Sighing, Mina looked to her friend. "Well, try to open the door. She might've left it open for us..."

 

Lita tried the door-knob but the door didn't budge. It was locked. Turning to Mina, she watched her friend shuffle through the many contents of her purse. "Ah ha!" she laughed as she held up a small shiny key. "You don't think she'd mind would you?"

 

"No...I don't think so..." Lita responded as she motioned for Mina to unlock the door. "How did you get a key anyhow?" she asked her friend as the blonde unlocked the door and walked inside

 

The blonde giggled as she walked through Serena's apartment, "She's my sister, duh!" she told her friend as she walked into Serena's bedroom but her giggles stopped abruptly when her gaze landed on her fallen look-alike sprawled on the floor. "Oh my god! Serena!" she gasped as panic overtook her and she screamed at the top of her lungs for Lita.

 

The amazon dropped the food she had been putting in the refrigerator and bolted from the kitchen to Serena's bedroom, her eyes widened as she looked down at the unconscious form of her friend on the floor. "Serena!" she gasped, falling to her knee's she took the blonde girl's head in her hands and held her close. "Wake up Serena, please...wake up." but to no avail, the girl did not waken. Turning her forest-green eyes to the girl's older sister, Lita barked out the command to call an ambulance as she pleaded with Serena's still form to awaken.

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

A pale-skinned beauty walked gracefully from the door of a witchcraft store, her long raven-colored hair streaked with bright red swishing lightly from side to side. Blinking her violent purple eyes, she gasped and her vison began to spin. Raising a manicured hand with alternate black and blood-red nails to her temple as her head throbbed, she envisioned a picture of Lita cradling Serena's head pleading with her to wake up. She gasped as the vision faded out a second later and the blare of ambulance sirens pierced the silence of the street. The emergency vehicle zoomed past the beauty on the street, knowing something bad had happened she hoped on her motorcycle parked a few feet away and sped after the ambulance, knowing it would take her to Serena.

 

--------------------------------------------------------

 

Raye pushed her way through the crowd of nebby people surrounding Serena's apartment building, the flashing red lights of an ambulance causing more people to gather. Opening the doors to the main lobby, the raven haired beauty rushed inside to the main elevators. "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon..." she said anxiously waiting for the descent of the elevator. Ching! The bell for the elevator sounded, the doors opening to let it's occupants off. "Emergency, people! Move out of the way!" she said over the light din of small conversation from the people filing off the elevator as she pushed her way roughly through the crowd, ushering the last out of the elevator and pushing the 'Close Door' option on the wall. The ascent was excruciatingly slow, her heart wrenched with fear for Serena only grew stronger as the time passed slowly by. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the elevator stopped and it's doors opened. Raye jumped out of the opening doors and hurtled down the hallway, crashing through the slightly ajar door of Serena's apartment. All she cared about was Serena. Her childhood best friend. Running through the apartment, heedless of the many eyes settled on her, she ran to Serena's bedroom. There on the floor was Serena, her head in Lita's lap as the EMP's ran test's on her. Within a split-second Raye was on her knee's next to her fallen friend, gently caressing her cheek and whispering a healing mantra. "Wake up, be well, wake up!" she whispered over and over, visualizing a green beam of light spilling it's healing powers into her body. Minutes went by, Raye began to despair... she smiled weakly and caressed Serena's cheek one more time before standing up and hugging Mina, who had be crying in the corner.

 

Lita held tight to Serena's hand, looking down at the girls head resting in her lap; a gasp escaped her lips and her eyes widened as Serena's finger twitched and her eye lashes fluttered open. "Serena!" Lita sighed happily, hugging her friends head.

 

Serena smiled weakly as she looked up into he green eyes of her friend, "Thank You" she mouthed to her friend, her vocal cords failing. "Shh... It's ok Serena...here...drink some." Lita reassured her friend, handing her a small glass of cold water. "Amy's at the hospital...we tried to call her but she was with a patient...she should be getting off soon though..."

 

Sipping slowly, Serena felt her throat loosen and looked up at her friend's. "I understand. Thank You, all" she said lightly, "and thank you Raye, I saw you, heard your words and felt something go through me...I..."

 

"I'm just glad you're alright Serena!" Raye told her friend, embracing her in a hug. Soon, it had become a group hug, each of the girls smiling happily.

 

"So is the slumber-party still on? What kinda snacks did you get Lita?" Serena asked anxiously, grinning like her usual self

 

"Wow, you just don't change, do you Serena?" Raye giggled at her friend's quick change of mood. Lita's giggles followed Raye's as well as Mina's as the EMP's quietly left the apartment.

 

"Hey! I can't help it! Why do you always pick on me Raye?!" Serena whined, turning around to her friend. Whack! A pillow hit Serena square in the face. The pillow fell away, Raye laughing hysterically as she pointed at the funny expression on Serena's face.

 

"Oh uh uh, it's on now! Pillow fight!" Serena squealed, picking up a pillow and hitting Raye with it. All four girls giggled and squealed happily, hitting each other with pillows, feather's floating around them. It was going to be a long night!
