Disclaimer – I do not own any of the Sailor Moon characters, I wish I did, but that right belongs to Naoko Takeuchi (is that right?), and the others that own it, anyway, the other characters are mine, so if you would like to use them, then please ask, by emailing eaglemoon@talk21.com
AN – Before you begin, this is the story of how the Celestial Scouts and Knights entered the scene, I will do it by episodes as there are so many, if you haven't read any of my work before then please read some of them. One last thing, review my stories, good, bad, or offensive I don't mind, but please watch your language, there maybe youngsters present (did I just say that?) Have fun, oh and I use the American names for the Sailor Moon characters, and as I don't really know the Outer Senshi, don't pick on me if I get their personalities wrong, Shindi.Chapter 1.
Today is Saturday 17th January 1998; the day is cold and dark.
"I wish this day would improve" Max said to the boy he was sharing a room with.
"I do too, I thought that we would ay least get one half of a day to enjoy ourselves before tonight's performance, without rain, or a thunderstorm." The boy called Tommy said.
"Oh well, maybe next year." Max replied, the boy nodded in agreement to that statement.
Max walked out of the room and turned towards the dining hall, all the time he was thinking about things that had been happening lately.
'Well, what do I do? I have to go through with this performance tonight, but I feel so light headed, those dreams will not leave me alone. Urgh, I hate this, perhaps if I rang my family and spoke to them it might calm me down some. Nah, mother will think that I want some more money. What if…'
"Hey Max, what are you up to today?" Shouted Lucia from across the dining hall.
"Nothing, just wandering whether to call my parents or not, and deciding what to spend the next few hours on doing." Max said as he walked over and sat next to her.
"Well we thought that we should sneak into the hall and hear that girl from Tokyo play, they say that she is magical and can spellbind anyone by her music." Lucia said.
"Might be fun, it won't hurt, after all she has heard us all play a few times, when does she practice?"
"Now, so we best run."
Lucia grabbed Max's hand and dragged him from his seat, the rest of the small group which consisted of two boys called Malcolm and Dominic and three other girls called Nelly, Opium (her mother was a sixties druggie) and Skylark (another sixties druggie) rose from their seats. They ran from the dining room to the large ball room, where the orchestral practice room was, they were to perform at a concert hall down the road later that day, so most of the equipment had already been sent ahead.
2 minutes later they were all trying to be quiet, and sneaked into the practice room, where the girl was already playing, Max had heard that she could play, the violin, the cello and was a master at them both, but he had yet to hear her play for himself. When they managed to get into a position so that they could see her Max saw that she was playing the violin, it was a sad tune, one that made him feel lonely and in pain, but it was like she had turned into a different violinist because when Max and the others got closer her music changed into a more lively and happier mood, it made him feel like he was complete, no longer alone. It felt like magic had hit him full force, he felt something, he couldn't explain the feeling, and it was one that he had never felt in his entire life.
"Told you it was like Magic, didn't I" Lucia whispered to him.
"Yes, one minute it was sad, and made me feel lonely, now I feel happy and like I want to dance." Max replied.
The others remained quiet, until the girl with long, thick wavy hair stopped playing, it was like she had felt or heard something, as her head was turning slowly as if she was searching the room for something.
"Quick, we have to run for it, if she catches us we will get banned from playing tonight" Skylark said softly, trying not to get the girls attention too much.
The others ran from the room hoping that she wouldn't be able to identify them, Max for some strange reason stayed behind for a few seconds, watching the girl, he felt a stirring of something that he couldn't explain, so he quickly ran after the others.
When he managed to find the others they looked at him as though he was out of his head.
"What happened? Why did you stay behind? You didn't grass on us did you?" Dominic interrogated.
"I wanted to make sure you lot got away, and to make sure she didn't see you. And why would I grass, I barely know the rest of you, and if I was a grass don't you think I would avoid you lot?" Max bit back.
"I guess we have to trust him, but I don't want to get kicked out, so I definitely won't try that again." Opium said.
They agreed to break the group and head in their own separate directions, with Max heading to the phone booth so that he could phone his parents in Ohio, he missed them, but he had to get used to it, they had moved there 2 weeks previously, and he stayed at the college in Peterborough, where he knew Lucia from.
Back in the practice room the girl from Tokyo sat scratching her head in wonderment, and thinking, 'what the heck was that? I'm sure that I felt Senshi energy in here, but that's weird, Amanda promised she would not come to England and hear me play; this was supposed to be my time. But, it did not feel like her energy, I best talk to the others, darn, I left the communicator in my room, I'll do it later.' With that she finished her practice and forgot for that time about the energy.
