Ch.2
a sweet beginning
Jupiter tried to get up. But she couldn't. Fiona laughed. "Stupid Sailor
Scout! You already know you can't move!" Jupiter was the only one awake.
The monster didn't get her that bad. She kept on trying. "You know, you're
such a sleaze. You should know by now that Sailor Scouts never... lose..."
Jupiter was getting weak again. "Don't you dare call me a sleaze! Come, my
pets! Destroy this Sailor Scout! She doesn't deserve to live!" Another
monster started an attack. But then, all the monsters just disappeared.
Disintegrated. Right into thin air. Fiona screamed. "NOOOO! My beautiful
pets! They're gone!" Fiona cried. "I'll get you for this, Sailor Brat!"
With that, Fiona disappeared. Jupiter got all her strength back, now that
there was no one to hold her down. Slowly, everyone regained consciousness.
As Jupiter went to help Sailor Moon, she noticed something behind a tree.
Jupiter somehow knew that it was the person who saved the scouts. "Who's
there?" Jupiter asked. Then the object disappeared. "Jupiter, who was
that?" Venus asked. Jupiter shrugged. "Our secret admirer?!" Sailor Moon
joked. Everyone laughed. "Hey! Let's get to my place and chow!" Jupiter
suggested. "Yeah!" everyone said in agreement.
Later that night, nobody ate. They were up to it, but they weren't
hungry. "Serena, I thought you were hungry." Lita said. "Yeah I am. I...
just can't eat. What about you?" Serena replied. "I ate too much lunch, I
guess." Lita said. Everybody was sitting somewhere, staring at their food,
untouched. "I cooked all this for nothing!" Lita complained. Raye tried to
eat. She picked up a hot-dog, then put it down. She did this several times.
No one was talking. Amy broke the silence. "We're probably still weak," Amy
started. "I gotta get home." Mina said. "Nah, just stay here and sleep
over," Lita said. "Good idea." Rini said. In a few seconds, everybody found
a place and just fell asleep. All except Lita. She wanted to sleep really
badly, but something was really bugging her...
Queen Beryl came, attacking the planet Jupiter. "Hahaha! Fall to my
feet and work for the Negaverse!" She cackled. Sailor Jupiter was getting
ready to leave for the moon. As she tried to leave, Queen Beryl started to
attack. I don't think you're going anywhere, Princess Jupiter!" Queen Beryl
almost struck Sailor Jupiter, when someone, from Lita's past came. "GO!
I'll take care of her..." Jupiter went, looking back at the person. She
couldn't make out his face; it was like a missing piece from a puzzle. As
she left, she heard lots of screams...
"AHHH!" Lita woke with a start. Panting, she looked at her clock.
'Half hour before school starts...' Lita thought. As she got up to wake
everyone else, Lita felt a pang of dizziness surround her. She almost fell.
Luckily, Raye caught her. "Are you okay?" Raye asked. "You're... awake?"
Lita asked weakly. She hadn't noticed Raye reading a book when she got up.
Lita was still affected by whatever happened the night before. "I feel
better. What about you?" Mina asked when she woke up. "Brr! I didn't know
what I was thinking! Sleeping without a blanket!" Serena complained. "If
you told me, you wouldn't be cold," Darien said. Amy woke up, surprised
that Serena was awake before her. Lita lazily went to the kitchen to get a
box of cereal. Mina woke up and helped Lita. "I want pancakes," Rini
started. "Lita then came with the bowls of cereal. "Sorry, Rini. You'll
have to stick with Lucky Charms now." Lita replied. Everyone was surprised.
"I thought you like cooking!" Serena said. Even though Lita would be
getting late, she always cooked her lunch before school. It was funny to
hear her say this. "I'm just not in the mood today." Lita said. She handed
everyone a paper bag, with a sandwich in it. "Lita!" Serena complained. She
was expecting more than this. "Hey, Lita! Lita? Are you okay?" Mina asked
with worry. "You hadn't touched your breakfast yet!" Lita looked at her.
"I'll eat it later. We'll be late if we don't leave now." They didn't need
to change. They were still in their school uniforms that they slept in
overnight. It was gross, but at least anyone would barely notice.
Serena was in her homeroom class, looking worried. She looked at Lita,
who was playing with a lock of hair, looked like she was falling asleep.
Lita was never like this. 'What's wrong with her?' Serena thought. She
thought that maybe their mysterious new enemy did something to Lita while
she herself, was unconscious. "Now, everyone, pay attention. What is the
question to number 1, in the workbook, Lita?" The teacher said. Every body
looked at Lita, who just fell asleep. The teacher went up to Lita's desk.
"LITA! WAKE UP!" the teacher screamed. "Never fall asleep in Miss Huro's
class," Some girls were whispering at the back of the class. Then, Miss
Huro got nervous. "Someone, get the nurse!" Miss Huro tried shouting and
everything but Lita didn't wake up. Serena volunteered. As Serena was going
down the hall, she met Locke. "Where are you off to, Serena?" Locke had
already met Serena. Lita introduced him to her that morning. "You look
pale!" Serena tried to talk. "L-L-Lita, she fe-fell asleep, and-and nobody
could... w-wake her up! I-It's not like... her to d-do-do this!" Serena
said. Serena was trembling hard. Locke got worried. "Is she okay?" Locke
tried to ask. "G-gotta get... to th-the nurse." Serena was sick with worry.
"You be careful down the stairs. I'd help you but I gotta get to my class
before I'm burnt toast." Serena agreed and went to get the nurse.
Lita groaned. She was not feeling good. As she got up, a wet
compress fell on her lap, which was on her forehead. "Where am I?" Lita
wondered out loud.
The nurse came in. "How are you feeling?" The nurse asked politely. "Where
am I?" Lita repeated. "In the school nurse room." Lita has never been here
before. "What happened?" Lita couldn't remember anything that happened from
that morning. "You fainted... I think... during class." The nurse said.
Serena had already told the nurse that Lita was sleeping, but the nurse
guessed that since Lita didn't wake up, which was supposed to happen a long
time ago, that Lita fainted. "How long was I out?" Lita asked. "Ever since
the first class. School's almost over." The nurse replied. Lita was
surprised. "How do you feel?" The nurse asked. "Much better, thanks." Lita
lied. She didn't know how she felt earlier, so how was she supposed to
know? The bell rang so the nurse let Lita go. As Lita approached her
locker, Serena came. "Oh, Lita! Are you okay? You worried me so much! Well,
and Locke too..." Locke was standing behind Serena. "How do you feel?" They
both asked. "Lita didn't answer. "Lita, what's wrong?" Serena asked. Then
Amy and Mina came. "Lita! We heard about what happened! Are you okay?" Amy
asked. "Yeah, I... guess." Locke offered to walk Lita home, and told the
others not to worry. On the way, Lita kept on trembling. Locke tried to ask
her what was wrong, but she just didn't answer. "Lita! You have to speak to
me or I can't help you!" Locke urged. Lita seemed to have woken from a
trance. " I'm sorry. I'm really tired." Lita said. When they got to Lita's
house, Lita was trembling more than before. "Do you need help?" Locke
offered. Lita shook her head. Lita got out her keys and tried to get the
right key. But her vision was so blurry, she could barely see. "Feel...
so... dizzy..." Lita mumbled. "What did you say?" Lita forgot that Locke
was with her. Lita hoped she had the right key. She tried to put it in the
doorknob, but completely missed. "Let me do that..." Locke offered. But
before he could say anything else, Lita slumped on the floor. "Lita? Lita!
Are you okay?" Lita didn't respond. Quickly, Locke tried every key. Then he
finally had the right one. As soon as he got in, he took Lita to the
nearest couch. He figured she'd be all right so he explored around. It
looked pretty much like his place so he didn't have much trouble. He
already found Lita's room, so he decided he'd take her there after. Then
there was the last door, at the end of the hall. As he opened it, a strong
smell came out. Stale air. He immediatley knew no one was in there for a
long time. There were a lot of old boxes. But he thought this room was out
of bounds so he immediatley got out. He took Lita to her room, then went to
the kitchen to make a compress. Then as soon as he put the compress on her
head, Lita began to stir. She groaned. She woke up startled. "Locke! Wha...
how... How did you get in?" Locke didn't bother to answer. "Lita, you're
real sick. You need a doctor to check you out. Just tell me where your
parents are at..." Locke started. Lita started crying. This usually happens
at the mention of her parents. "Lita, what's wrong? Serena told me it's not
normal for you to cry... she told me about what happened this morning
that... well... she told me everthing that's not normal for you!" Lita
tried to stop her tears. "I... I usually don't tell everybody this..." Lita
started. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Lita smiled.
"You're just like my best friend Ken." "What about him?" Locke asked. He
was afraid that Lita already has a boyfriend. "He knows... what I want and
not want. You remind me a lot of him." Locke blushed a little. "I'll tell
you anyways." Lita started. "It's up to you." Locke said. "Well, you see,
when I was ten, me and my parents were planning to go on a trip. When we
got on the plane, like, when it got in the air, it exploded. Luckily, I was
the only survivor, but I lost most of my memory that time, that, the media
couldn't get a word out of me." They both laughed. Then Locke was serious.
"Then your parents are..." Locke didn't want to hurt Lita any more. "You
may go on, silly!" Lita said. " Uh, no! That's... allright. I don't want to
depress you more." Locke blushed. Lita blushed even more. "That's sweet!"
Lita exclaimed. Then she asked, "Locke, would you ever hurt me? I know it's
a stupid question, but... you know!" Locke looked at her. "That's not a
stupid question! Lita, I'd never hurt you! Not in a million years!" Lita
smiled. "I'll go now, and let you get some rest." Locke offered. "No! Stay!
Please? I need company!" Lita pleaded. 'I need you!' Lita thought. "Okay.
I'll watch you."
Fiona got in an even worse fit. "NOOOO! He's mine! He's mine! Stupid
me! That poison made him more attached to herrrrrr!" she bawled. She
poisoned Lita but that didn't seem to work. "I'll get you, Lita Kino! If
it's the last thing I do, I'll kill you! Locke's mine! Not Anybody else's!"
Fiona swore.
