****************
"I wonder..." Serena said. "Why Ami wasn't in school
today." The girls(Serena, Mina, Lita, and Rei) left
the school, wondering why their blue haired friend had
not shown up today. "Hey, Lita?"
Lita looked up at Serena, wondering what she was
thinking. "Yeah, Serena?"
"You and Ami have been spending alot of time together
lately..." The color from Lita's face drained. The
couple hadn't told the others of their relationship
yet. They didn't think they would understand. So, now
Lita thought Serena knew. "... Did she say anything to
you about missing today?"
Lita sighed in relief. They still didn't know. "Um..."
Lita thought for a minute. "No she hasn't. Since I
live closer to her than you guys, I'll go over and
ask."
"Maybe, " Mina said. "She missed since it was a half
day of school."
"Doubt it," Rei answered. "How often does Ami miss
school? She's not Serena ya know."
"Yeah," Serena said. "She's not..." Than the
realization of Rei's words hit her. " What is that
supossed to mean!?"
At around six in the evening, Lita finally was able to
go to Ami's house. The girls had told Dr. Mizuno of
them dateing. Altough not exactly thrilled, she
accepted the realationship saying, "If you're happy
Ami, than so am I."
Lita walked up to the door and knocked. She waited a
few minutes before she heard running coming towards
the door. When the door opened, it revealed Dr.
Mizuno, panting, sweaty, and a huge grin on her face.
"Hello, Lita, " she said out of breathe. "Come on in."
Lita stepped inside the house, smiling at Ami's
mother."Ami is upstairs, if you want to go up there."
"Is she ok? She wasn't in school today," Lita said.
"Oh, I know. Come on, "Dr. Mizuno said, starting up
the stairs. Lita followed her. As they reached the
door, Dr. Mizuno cursed under her breath. "I forgot
the drinks. Go on in, I'll be right back." And she ran
back down the stairs. Lita watched her dissapear
before entering Ami's room. And what she saw nearly
shocked her to death.
Ami had her back to the door and was jumping on her
bed. Her radio was blasting a song by Limp Bizkit.
But, what surprised Lita the most was her clothing.
Lita never saw Ami wear so much black in the time she
had known her. Ami turned and jumped off the bed,
standing straight up to look Lita in her eyes.
Ami stood before her wearing a black belly tank top
with thin straps. She also wore a pair of saggy black
jeans, and tennis shoes. On her head was a backwards
base ball cap with the phrase "Mean people suck. Nice
people swallow" written on the front.
Lita was shocked to see her Ami dressed this way.
"Ami? Is that you?" Lita asked.
The girl smiled then started to laugh. Hearing the
laugh from the bath room, another girl emearged from
the door. She stood there not wanting to make her
preasence known... yet.
"Ami," she repeated. "I'm not Ami." She stuck out her
right hand and said, "I'm Lacy Anderson. " Lita shook
her hand.
"I'm Lita."
Lacy smiled. "I know. Ami's told me alot about you."
She turned her head and saw Ami in the bath room
doorway, smiling. "Haven't you, B.B.?"
Lita looked at Lacy confused. "B.B.?"
Ami smiled and walked up to her sister. "B.B. Blue
Bird. Lacy has always called me that for some
reason..."
Lacy smiled. "You look like a blue bird. Thats why I
call you one!"
"Ah," Dr. Mizuno enetered the room carring a tray with
four glasses of milk and half a cake. "Here we are
girls." She sat the tray down on Ami's desk as Lacy
walked to it to pick up a slice in her hands. "Lita?"
Dr. Mizuno asked.
Lita looked at Ami and Lacy's mother. "Yes?"
"Would you like to stay the night?" She asked. "It is
Friday."
Lita smiled. Lita seemed to be more welcome here after
she and Ami told Ami's mother. Although, like
mentioned before, she wasn't exactly thrilled, she
treated Lita like her own daughter. "Thank you. But, I
have no extra clothes here..." Lacy decided to join
the conversation.
"I wear a bigger size than Ami. If you want, you can
borrow a few my clothes. If they fit you, I mean,"
Lacy offered.
Lita liked Lacy. She seemed to be alot like Ami(except
for her taste in clothes) and could see why she and
Ami were so close. "Thank you."
Lacy looked Lita square in the eyes and said, "But you
can't sleep with my sister..." Both Lita's and Ami's
faces turned scarlet. As did Dr. Mizuno's. Lacy looked
at them all and began to laugh loudly. "I was
kidding..."
And, the rest of the night went that way. All four of
the women in Ami's room, eating cake, drinking milk,
and just having a good time.
After the girls went to bed that night(Lacy was on the
floor in Ami's room in a sleeping bag, and Lita and
Ami shared the bed...), Ami's communicator went off.
Lita, being closer to Ami's than her own, answered:
"Jupiter here," she whispered, trying not to wake
Lacy. "What's up?"
"Youma in dowtown Tokyo." It was Venus. "We need you
and Mercury..."Than it hit her. "Why are you answering
her comunicator, Lita?"
"Well, obviuosly," she started, "I'm at her house!"
"Well, we need you two, so hurry!" And the screen went
blank.
Lita sighed. "Back to business, Mercury."
"Come on, Lita. We can sneak out of the window..."
When they reached downtown, Mercury began to scan the
monster. The monster itself looked like a seven foot
beetle with hard casing to protect it.
Tapping her ear ring, Mercury yelled," Mars! It is
prone to fire! Use your attack to weaken it!"
"Got it!" Mars answered. But, the youma caught on. As
Mars charged up her attack, the monster brought it's
body into it's shell. The attack backfired.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!! Watch it Mars!" Sailor Moon yelled.
"I didn't know it was gonna do that so SHUT UP!"
As the scouts watched their leader and a fellow scout
fight, the youma came out of it's shell again.
Grinning at the mayhem, he formed an energy ball in
his hands...
Mercury, snapping bak to reality and the danger at
hand, looked back at their enemy. Her face paled as
she saw the blue energy ball coming towards her face
with no time to react.
She sheilded her face with her arms and waited for the
impact... But, it never came. Looking up, she noticed
the monster in pain and the fireball had disappeared.
None of the scouts understood.
Mercury looked for a cause as for the monsters pain,
and noticed a shimmering on top of it's head. Tapping
her ear ring again, and activating her visor, she
found the object to be a rose. Not just any rose...a
rose made of blue ice.
Mercury's eyes went wide, as Mars attacked the monster
with her fire attack. Looking up at a building, she
saw a solitary figure standing there.
Sailor Moon finished youma and they turned to face
each other. All, save Mercury, who was still looking
up at their savior.
"Hey, Mercury?" It was Venus. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah..." She said, finally looking at them. "I'll be
right back." And before any objections could be made,
she ran towards the building. Finding the fire escape,
she reached the roof and silently walked towards the
figure, who did not acknowledge her.
Walking next to the figure, Mercury smiled. "Never
thought I'd see you again..."
The figure smiled. "Things change," she said calmly,
never looking at Mercury.
"Why did you come back," Mercury asked.
"You'll soon find out," the figure answered. Finally
moving, the figure stepped out of the shadows to
reveal a woman. The clothing the woman wore resembled
that of Tuxedo Mask from the waist up: the top hat,
jacket, tie, mask, gloves, everything. The same
coloring as well: black. The cape she wore came to her
waist, the inside red. But, instead of slacks, she
wore a skirt, similar to those the scouts wore: short
and also black. She wore high heels with straps around
the ankles.(AN: do I even have to say what color they
are??)
Mercury powered down. The woman never asked why. "Tell
me, Rose? Why are you here?" Ami asked again.
Rose, as Ami called her, smiled again. "You are the
only one I'll allow to call me that." Finally looking
at her, her smile grew," did you know that?" Ami
nodded. Rose's smile faded. "Jedite is back."
"What?!" Ami said, unbelieving. "Are you sure?"
"Positive. For the past three years, he has been
building up his power." Looking away from her, she
said: "If you don't believe me, check your files and
compare tonight's youma with those of the negaverse's."
Ami didn't know what to say. Her old friend came back
to town just to tell her this information. "What do we
do?"
"For now, nothing. I have to get more information for
you." Looking up at the stars, Rose told her" "You
better go before your friends get worried."
Ami nodded and turned to leave. But, before she
reached the fire escape, she turned to say, 'Thank
you', but Rose was no longer there...
Ami walked out of the shadows of the building, and
rejoined only Jupiter. "Where did you go?" She asked,
powering down herself.
"I had to check something. But everythings ok. Lets
get back to the house before someone notices were
gone." Ami said.
Lita smiled, not wanting to pry and took Ami's hand as
they walked back to Ami's house.
When they reahed her house and snuck back into the
window, Lacy was still asleep.
Ami smiled, pulled the sleeping bag up on her sister's
body more and crawled under the covers, resting her
head on Lita's chest(Again, I said 'CHEST' not
'BREAST') and sighed contently. Everything, despite
the news she had heard that night form Rose, seemed to
be right in the world. But, even good things must
end...
