Episode 2, Season 2
written by Lady Hurricane
The sun was just coming up as I stepped into the calm, quiet stable. The rustle of horse hooves and the musty smell of leather and hay made me sigh. I had missed being in a barn when my family and I had lived in Salt Lake City, Utah.
As I went into the tack room I wondered what my new life here was going to be like. Here was Dementerville, Ohio where my dad got relocated. I guess I like it here, with the country type terrain. We live on the outskirts of the town were a bus has to travel over a mile to take us to school. I have to feed the horses before I go to school and that's what I was doing that morning. I wasn't thrilled about going to a new school, especially since I knew no one there. My mom insisted that I was going to be fine, "You'll love it there. I bet kids will love your personality!" Give me a break, they're going to love my personality? Yeah, right off a cliff they will.
I sighed again and went around feeding all the horses.
"Here you go, Penny. That's a good girl"
"Oh, Major, stop chewing the bars!"
"Janine? Time for breakfast. Hurry, the bus is going to come any minute!" My mom yelled from the house.
"Coming!!" I yelled back.
I had one last horse to feed who was my favorite of all, a miniature pony named Shifty. She is my best friend and I tell her everything.
Sometimes it seems as if she can really understand what I'm saying. Isn't that weird? As I approached her stall she raised her head to the miniature stall door and snorted. "Hey girl, I got some food for ya." I petted Shifty on the nose. "Well, did you know today's my first day of school? I hope I make some friends there. I mean, I don't know anyone and I am real shy when it comes to friends."
I said bye to Shifty then put my feeding stuff away.
"Bye everyone. Wish me luck!" I said as I closed the barn door after me.
Later in the day.....
Oh gosh, I thought as I walked into the lunchroom. I smell chicken. Well I guess I'll have to scoop for Al Acarte line. Even though I had loved chicken when I was 9 years old I found out that I had a major allergic reaction to it.
As I waited in the line I recalled what had happened that day. When I went into my first class I was SOOO nervous, everyone stared at me. I did make one friend, sort of. Her name is Chrissy Jins and in my opinion she was STRANGE , but I like her. In Spanish class I met someone else who was nice to me and offered me a seat. Her name was Katrina. For some reason when I met her I had a feeling I knew her already, but that was impossible wasn't it?
When I got my lunch I looked around for somewhere to sit, geez I don't want to sit all alone, I thought looking around, where is Chrissy? Just as I thought that Chrissy jumped from behind me and said, "Hellllllllloooooooo Janine! Want to sit with us?"
"Umm....I.....sure..." I sputtered.
Chrissy grabbed my arm and dragged me to the table where she was sitting. Katrina, I noticed, was sitting there, along with some other girls I hadn't met.
"Janine, this is Briana, Ana, Mary, Sandi, and Amarus." I nodded, looking at each as Chrissy pointed.
"You know Chrissy, it's not nice to point." Briana said.
"Sooorrrrryyyy." Chrissy replied
The rest of the lunch was interesting, we just talked about what the school was like and they asked me about my self.
"So Janine, where did you live before here?" Ana asked.
"I lived in Salt Lake City, Utah" I said.
"Cool! What was it like? Did they have any good food??!?" Chrissy asked.
"Oh be quiet Chrissy," Katrina said. "Janine, ignore Chrissy. She is always like this."
"Yeah. Chrissy is an airhead," Sandi said.
We all laughed as Chrissy shot Katrina and Sandi dirty looks.
Later after school..........
"Well, this has been a pretty good day. I think." I said aloud to myself as I headed to my locker.
"Who 'ya talking to?" Someone said from behind me.
"Aughh!!!" I yelled. "Oh........um.......I was talking to myself."
I turned to the person who asked me that or should I say him. He was very cute. I can say that. He had darkish red hair, green eyes, and a pretty nice build. I was probably bright red.
"Hi, I'm Kyle Sweeny," Kyle smiled at me. "You're new here aren't you?"
"Hey, are you related to Katrina Kimball?" I questioned.
"Yeah, she's my twin sister. How did you know?"
"Oh, well, she's in some of my classes." I replied shyly. Wow, he is really cute.
"Oh, cool, well I have to go now but I'll see you around okay?"
"Okay." I stared after him as he walked away. I'm in love, I thought.
At home..............
"Hi, Shift!!!" I cried as I walked into the barn. "Want me to take you out to the pasture?"
"Sure! That would be great. I hate being stuffed in this stall all day."
"Who said that?" I said looking around, no one was there.
"Oh you can here me now? Well I knew this was going to happen someday. You being a scout and all."
"Who is saying THAT?!!!??" I cried frustrated.
"Down here Janine. It's Shifty talking."
I looked down at Shifty. She looked up at me and said, "I think we should hurry to the pasture. I want you to see something."
I looked at Shifty like I had just gone mad, "You can't talk."
"And why is that?"
"Cause... cause... you're not human!" I sputtered.
"Soooo... I can talk. I'm your guardian."
I decide that it must be true since I see her move her lips and talk, but I still think I've gone loony.
"Sooo... ummm... what am I?" I asked hesitantly.
"I'll tell you when we get to the pasture." Shifty replied.
"Okay," I answered feeling like the whole world had gone out of wack.
Shifty opened her door and walked out of the big barn door trotting. I stared at her in amazement then ran after her.
When I caught up with her I saw something ahead of her: a BIG cowboy hat person with cowboy boots. Then something else I saw really amazed me. Katrina, Brianna, Chrissy, Ana, Sandi, Amarus, and Mary were all standing there in these weird outfits fighting the monster.
"Okay, I'll explain now." Shifty nodded toward the fight. "Those people are Sailor Scouts. You, Janine, are one of them. Your name is Sailor Hurricane and you work to help keep the world alive. I, Shifty, am your guardian. You might want to go out there and help them. They look a little distressed."
Amazingly I seemed to know exactly what to do. I shouted, "Hurricane Power!" and transformed into Sailor Hurricane.
Chrissy Jins looked over at me and shouted, "Hey look!"
Everyone looked at me and gasped.
"It's her! Janine!" Briana said.
"What are you called?" Ana asked.
"I'm Sailor Hurricane!" I replied.
"Hey, wait a sec," Chrissy Jins came closer to look at me. "I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HAS MY SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NO ONE CAN HAVE MY SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Chrissy ran to me then leaped and started clawing at me, "GIVE ME MY SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The other scouts ran over all shouting at Chrissy. They tried to rip her away from me it was not really working. When they finally did, Chrissy, as a last resort, said, "Star dust po----"
"No Chrissy!!! Stop!" Sandi shouted. "And people we have a monster to kill!"
While everyone was trying to get Chrissy off me I noticed that the monster was advancing on us.
"Oh no!!!" I shouted trying to get Chrissy off me and shout automatically, "Huurrriicanne Haail Blasst!!!!!" All of a sudden these hail stones formed at my hands, they were as big as softballs and they went shooting at the monster. The monster fell backwards and then Katrina pulled out this wand thing and threw it at the monster, the monster got knocked out.
Katrina shouts, "DRASKIN, GO!!!!"
This bird suddenly forms and goes up to the monster and pecks it until it's all gone.
"WOW!!!!" I shout. "That was cool!"
"You have not seen anything yet," Mary said.
I looked over at Chrissy who was loathing about my shoes, "Hey Chrissy?"
Chrissy looked at me and gave me a dirty look. "What?"
"I'm sorry I have your shoes. I didn't pick them. They just appeared." I said.
"Okay, whatever." Chrissy said.
The next day..........
Well, that was weird yesterday, I thought as I walked to the table where Katrina, Chrissy, Ana, Brianna, Mary, Sandi, and Amarus were, that was a very weird dream, talking horses, sailor scouts, and monsters. I must be developing a good imagination.
When I reached the table I sat across from Chrissy at the table. She looked up at me and said giving me a nasty look, "If you're wearing the new Nike Prestos, I'll kill you!"
Oh no, I thought. I looked down at my feet a look of pure terror forming on my face. The words Prestos were printed on my shoes. I looked up at Chrissy an innocent smile forming on my face. Then I got up and ran as fast as I could out of the cafeteria. I looked back and saw Chrissy realizing why I was running off. "Oh no you don't!!!" she shouted running after me. The other scouts got up and ran after Chrissy to try to stop her. When Chrissy caught up with me I took off my shoes and threw them down the hall. 'I don't have the Nike Prestos on. No, no, not at all." I said gasping for air.
"Well, how come you took off your shoes and threw them? Huh? Huh??" Chrissy asked glancing shrewdly down the hall.
"Hey, guys, stop it," Mary said as the other scouts caught up with us. "They are just shoes."
"Yeah, geez calm down you don't have to get so worked up," Amarus sneered. "They're just shoes."
"Ok all right." Chrissy said giving up. "But, if you EVER put your hair in pigtails I really WILL kill you."
And so we went back into the cafeteria, after retrieving my shoes, and all talked and laughed. Well, I thought as Amarus started to talk about yesterday, I think I might like it here after all.
