All the scouts, Damian and Cerion included, burst through the hospital doors as soon as they arrived. "We want to see Kurosaki Aqua!"Trinity, Mitsuko, and Haruka cried, slamming onto the desk. "Are you family?"The assistant asked. "I'm her fiance, these three are her guardians, these three are her cousins, and these are her little sisters."Damian explained, pointing to himself, Setsuna, Michiru, Haruka, Usagi, Trinity, Minako, Hotaru, Chibiusa, and Mika.
"Ok, you may go in but they can't."The assistant replied, pointing to Rei, Makoto, Mitsuko, and Cerion. "What do you mean we can't go in?! We've grown up together you have no right to say we can't go in!"Rei cried, having to be held back by Haruka and Makoto. "Mia, they can come in too their with me."A voice said, causing them all to turn and see Mamoru. "Ok Dr.Chiba, you may go."The assistant said, leading them over to him.
"Mamo-chan, are you taking care of her?"Usagi asked, looking up at him. "Yes I am Usako."Mamoru replied. "How is she?"Michiru asked. "Not good."Mamoru replied.
"What kind of not good?"Haruka asked. "She's in a coma, her room is right over-"Mamoru replied, pointing to her room but seeing everyone had dashed to her room right after he pointed. When they arrived in her doorway they were shocked at what they saw: She was hooked up to tons of wires and machines, she looked worse than when she did when her forms were fighting each other.
"Oh Aqua..."Trinity said, sitting down beside her and taking her hand. "How could this happen? She can't leave us here..."Michiru said, tears threatening to spill over her eyes. "Aqua, don't leave us here..."Rei whispered, taking her other hand. Then, Rei felt her hand move slightly.
"Oh my gosh guys, she moved! Just slightly but she moved!"Rei cried, looking at everyone else. That set Usagi off running down the hall. "Mamo-chan, she moved SHE MOVED!" "Are you sure we shouldn't have held her down while Ami went and got him?"Minako asked, looking down the hall where dust was still settling from where she had ran.
Then, Usagi came running back in with Mamoru. "So Usako tells me she moved slightly?"Mamoru asked. "Hai, she did."Rei replied, looking down at Aqua. "Well, what did anyone do right before she moved?"Mamoru asked.
"The only thing anyone did was I took her hand in mine and asked her not to leave us here."Rei said. "Well, apparently she's responding to anything you guys do or say to her."Mamoru said. "So basically what your saying is were what's keeping her alive?"Hotaru asked. "Basically hai."Mamoru replied.
"Well, what if we each talk to her privatly? Then wouldn't she respond to each of us mentally in a different way and that maybe rouse her?"Ami suggested. "Perfect idea Ami-chan! So who wants to go first?"Mamoru asked, looking at each of them individually. "I'll go first."Trinity said. "Okay, everyone else go into the waiting room and Trinity come and send someone else in when your done."Mamoru said, ushering everyone else out.
Then, Trinity started talking:
"Hey Aqua-chan, you can probably figure out by now its me. I just wanted to say, we all care so much about you so please stay with us. We all need you so much, especially me. When I first heard of what happened to you for some reason I thought back to our final goodbye four years ago in our battle with Megumi. I don't want to have to go through that again with you Aqua, so please come back to us soon. I wrote a song for the two of us, some of the parts were written for you so it might sound a little wierd but here it is:
[aqua:] I got class, pananche, I'm in the groove ...
[trinity:] As long as you don't try to move! I got style, grace and a crazy beat ...
[aqua:] You sure are light on those two left feet, and we're
CHORUS: [both:] Friends for life, friends for life Through all kinds of trouble and struggle and strife
[aqua:] I've got a problem I can't explain ...
[trinity:] I'll be there with the plane! I got moves, son ...
[aqua:] You learned from me! I got a song to sing ...
[trinity:] If you can find the key!
[both:] Whatever she's got I've got more of But there's one thing we both are sure of, we're
CHORUS [trinity:] I'm stuck on a mountain without a hope ...
[aqua:] I'll be there with the rope!
[trnity:] Like my duds?
[aqua:] Oh, you sure are cute!
[trinity:] They fit me better than your monkey suit!
[aqua:] There' nothing you do I don't do better
[both:] But as long as we can stick together, we're
CHORUS [both:] There's all kinds of people, but we'd rather be friends for life, you and me
CHORUS [both:] There's all kinds of people, but we'd rather be friends for life, you and me
[aqua:] If I'm in a jam ...
[trinity:] Here I am, and if I get sick ...
[aqua:] I'll fix it quick, and if I fall in love ...
[trinity:] Hey! That's enough!
[both:] We're friends for life!
Well, I'm going to let someone else come in now see you later."Trinity said, walking out. She walked out to where they were waiting and said, "Who's next?" "I am."Minako said, walking past her into the room. She sat down where Trinity was sitting and took Aqua's hand.
"Hey Lena, its Minako. I know we've haven't been the closest family members lately but I really do care about you, we all do. In truth, I've always kind of envied you, your good looks, getting all the guys, then grabbing a great guy like Damian. But, I put all that beside me because I love you and I would never want anything simple like jealousy come between us. So please get back to us, see ya."Minako said, kissing the top of her head then walking out. "Someone else can go in."Minako said, sitting down.
"I'll go."Usagi said, standing up and walking into her room. "Hey Aqua-chan, its Bunny. I wish you were really with us because were all so worried about you, you can't just leave us here like this after you've survived so much worse. We are all worried, and little Mika-chan dosen't understand what's going on with you and Setsuna is trying her best to explain it to her but it isn't going to well, so please get back to us soon."Usagi said, kissing her head softly then walking out.
"Someone else can go."Usagi said, sitting down between Chibiusa and Trinity. "I will."Ami said, standing up and walking inside her room. "Hey Aqua, Ami here. We haven't been really close friends but you've really helped me out a lot: bringing Zoycite back to me, saving me during all those battles, and bringing me back during the battle with Megumi, you've helped us all so much, don't leave us alone again. Well, that's all I have to say, ja ne."Ami said, walking out and silently sitting back down.
Then, Rei silently stood up and walked into her room. "Hey girl, I bet you were wondering when I was finally going to come in and talk to you. Well, since so many people went before me I started thinking of different things we had done together but somehow my mind drifted to the other day when Minako asked who was going to do what role in you and Bunny's wedding. I started thinking who you really had in mind for your maid of honor and my mind flipped through all the possible reasons you wouldn't choose me. But please, even if you didn't choose me I don't want to have to go to a wedding that was originated for two girls and only see one. So please, hurry back to us."Rei said, hugging her as best she could then walking back out with tears in her eyes.
"I'll go next."Makoto said, walking into her room. "Hey Aqua, its Makoto. You know, when I heard what happened to you first I thought how bad I wanted to kill you for going out alone knowing you still couldn't henshin, then, the only thing I could think of was killing those stupid evil people who caused you to get into your condition. I promise you once we make it through this I'll give them a special butt-kicking just for you ok? Well, remember when you were trying to teach us how to control our elemental powers? I finally mastered how to willingly grow plants and flowers and so I'm going to give you something."Makoto said, holding out her hand, concentrating all her energies into her hand, and a bouqet of Sakura Blossoms springing up. "I grew these for you, since their your favorite and all."Makoto said, setting them into the empty vase that was on the table beside her. "Please get back to us soon Aqua-chan, everyone needs you back."Makoto said, blinking back tears then walking back out. "Who's next?"Makoto asked.
"We are, she always responded to us better if we were together."Michiru said, standing up and hooking onto Haruka's arm and the two of them walking into her room. "Hey Imuoto-chan, hehe haven't called you that in a while. I guess I just call you that whenever I'm worried about you, you really need to spring back for us like you always do this is torturing all of us to see you like this, especially Mika-chan."Haruka said. "So, please get back to us soon don't leave us all alone."Michiru said. So the two walked out.
"Ok, someone else go in."Michiru said, sitting back down. "I want to go next and see her!"Hotaru cried, hopping up. "You shouldn't go alone Hotaru-chan."Minako said. "She won't, she'll have me."Chibiusa said, hopping up and taking Hotaru's hand.
When they walked in, Chibiusa nearly broke down crying: she couldn't stand to see the woman who was like a second mother to her in this condition. "Aqua Onee-chan, its Hotaru and Chibiusa. We couldn't decide what to say so we thought the lullaby you used to sing to us would sufice:
How did I get here?
I turned around and there you were
I didn't think twice
Or rationalize
cause somehow I knew
That there was more than just chemistry
I mean I knew you were kinda of in to me
But I figured it's too good to be true

I said pinch me
Where's the catch this time
Can't find a single cloud in the sky
Help me before I get used to this guy

[chorus:]
They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
in a blink of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you
were a million to one
I cannot believe it (o woah)
You're one in a million
All this time I was looking for love
Trying to make things work
They weren't good enough till
I thought I'm through
Said I'm done
and stumbled into the arms of the one

You're making me laugh about the silliest stuff
Say that I'm your diamond in the rough
When I'm mad at you
You come with your velvet touch
Can't believe that I'm so lucky
I have never felt so happy
Every time I see that sparkle in your eye

[chorus]

I said pinch me
Where's the catch this time
Can't find a single cloud in the sky
Help me before I get used to this guy

They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
in a blink of an eye
Thought the chances to meet somebody like you
were a million to one
I cannot believe it (o woah)
You're one in a million... one in a million
All this time I was looking for love
Trying to make things work
They weren't good enough till
I thought I'm through
Said I'm done
and stumbled into the arms of the one

You're one in a million
After they were done singing they walked back out and sat down together. "Damian-kun, would you like to go before me? I mean you are her fiance."Setsuna asked. "No, you go first."Damian replied. "I wanna see ookasan to."Mika said.
"Alright Mika-chan, let's go."Setsuna said, taking her hand and together the two walking into Aqua's room. When they got into the room Mika hopped into the chair by Aqua's bed. "Hi ookasan, its Mika. Auntie Setsuna has tried her best to explain what's wrong with you and I think I understand. She says your in a deep sleep and it was a possibility you might not wake up. So I really hope you wake up, ja ne!"Mika said, hopping out of the chair and running back to the others.
"Aqua, I promised myself I wasn't going to give you a verbal butt-kicking but I figure I should get it off my chest: You need to come back to us, your worrying everyone to death, Mika and Damian are being driven to the point of madness by it, and we need you! So if you don't come back to us, I guaruntee you that I'll find you in the Time Stream and give you a real butt-kicking for leaving us alone. So, that's all I wanted to say, ja."Setsuna said, walking out.
"Ok Damian, you can go."Setsuna said, sitting back down and putting Mika in her lap. "Arigato."Damian said, standing up and walking into the room. "Hey there love, its Damian. I miss you so much right now. But I figured I might as well tell you since you never knew. I was going to propose to you while we were in college but I got nervous and asked the girls for advice. They said the best thing to do was build up our relationship while we were in college and then once we got out of college that would be the right time to propose to you so that's why I proposed when I did. Also, I'm glad you taught them all how to control their elemental powers because it was Minako that made your engament ring. I still owe her a shopping spree for that. But, just rest now and try to come back to us love, ja ne."Damian said, kissing her softly on the lips. But what they didn't realize was that while Aqua could hear everything they were saying she was having her own battle: With her mother.
