The Sorrows of the World

Let it be know from here on out that I do not own any of the Sailor Moon characters (though it would be so cool if I did).

It Begins

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. - John Wayne

Tiffany stood looking up at the blood red full moon as it shinned over Tokyo that first spring night after she had awaken. The sleep had been a long one. One that was void of any dreams. For that Tiffany was thankful. To dream would be to remember and the last thing she wanted to do was remember the horrible things that had lead up to her long sleep. Still she couldn't dwell long on that dreamless sleep that had been so blissful, for she had a mission of the greatest importance. As Tiffany looked around the city she was surprised to see how much it had change since she had been there so long ago, from her high perch on the Tokyo tower she could see the whole city. A sadness took over her as she couldn't find anything that she could place. Tiffany signed a heavy sign, one that sounded as if she had been holding it for a very long time.

"Get it together Tiffany." She told herself as a winded came by causing her long light brown hair to fly into her face. As she pushed it away she her thoughts went back to her mission. First she needed to find where her sister slept and wake her. Seconded she need the crystal. From there it would be easy. Finding her sister and the crystal would be hard. Oh how she wished Lindsay had woken up first. She would no what to do, but no Tiffany had woken up first and had to find Lindsay. Life was so unfair. As Tiffany sat pouting on top of the Tokyo tower the night continued on.

It was late, very late, 2 in the morning late. Ami knew this. The glowing red numbers on her alarm clock told her this. She sat at her desk, piles of books and notes sat in front of her. If it was school work she would have been done and in bed a long time ago, but it wasn't. Before her sat books on battle plans, legends about the moon kingdom, and notes of the groups previews battles. Ami was the record keeper, though most of the other never gave much thought to recording what they have already done, or the things they had learned. And if they had thought of it they were never really aware of how much work it took to record it all. Ami did it in silences, with out anyone asking her too. She felt as if it was her duty and never thought twice about it, but on nights like this one, were she sat up all night doing the work of three people, a part of her wished, no not wished hoped, a part of her hoped one of the other would offer to help. If only just to keep her company. Though thought were far and few but they were there.

As she typed on her mercury computer inputting the data for easy access later as strange feeling started to come over her. She stopped typing as a pain in her chest, like someone took a knife and stuck it through her heart, hit her. The pain was so great that she fell from her chair to the grounded with a loud thump. Briefly the thought that she had to be careful, she didn't want to wake her mom crossed her mind, but it was quickly engulfed with pain. As she laid there on the ground, racked with pain, the blood red moon shinned it light through her window shinning on her.
