Moonlight Densetsu (English version not mine of course)
I'm sorry, but I cannot tell
I can only tell you within a dream
Before my nerves become shorted
I wish to meet with you now
It seems to be crying, the moonlight
Since I cannot telephone past midnight
I do not know what to do with the love of you
My heart is a kaleidoscope
The moon's light will guide me
So that I can once again meet you
Choreography of the stars can predict
All the love which has come and gone
Together on the same earth, a miracle romance
With you, another weekend
God, please grant me a happy end
In the past, present and future
I will be devoting all my thoughts to you
If disaster comes to us when we meet
I will never forget us
Millions of stars are looking at us
Seeing us attempt to live together in love
Unintentionally, miraculously, we cross again
So I meet with you again
Choreography of the stars can predict
all the love which has come and gone
Together on the same earth, a miracle romance
Something I do believe in - a miracle romance.
This story begins in a creepy castle in a desolate land. No sane person would want to set foot in it. Inside the castle, a tall and sinister witch with crazy red hair sat on her throne and looked down at her subject.
"Report, Jedite!" the evil woman bellowed.
"I have excellent news my queen," the blond man responded. "I have found an excellent source of energy for the Negaverse!"
"Just where is this source of energy!" Queen Beryl ranted.
"It came to me in a dream," Jedite went on while waving his hand causing a clear circle to appear in the middle of the room.
The circle showed several highlights of a man's life who was wearing glasses. They started with him fighting a strange group of rockers and ended with him fighting to the death with an insane witch with brown hair.
"This looks promising!" the evil queen laughed. "Who is he?"
"His name is Zack Morgan, my queen," Jedite answered.
"Go and do not fail me!" Beryl ordered.
Zack Morgan approached the kitchen where his wife Raya was cooking breakfast on the day before Halloween. He was wearing blue jeans and a red shirt. He was also carrying a bag containing his work clothes. By the smell coming from the kitchen, he knew that his wife was cooking oatmeal. From his location, he could see his two-year-old daughter Anita Jerrica Morgan playing at the coffee table in front of the couch.
"Hello, cutie-pie!" Zack greeted when he entered the kitchen.
"Good morning, honey," Raya responded wearing a red dress.
Zack found himself frozen in place for a second when he looked at his wife. Even though he had been married to her for a few years, she still stole his breath every time. He slowly approached Raya and wrapped his arms around her while giving her a passionate kiss.
"Ah!" Raya moaned while dropping her wooden spoon.
Zack briefly considered helping his wife out of her dress until he remembered that his little girl was playing in the next room.
"Oh, what you do to me!" Raya cried out when Zack finally let her go.
"I love you!" Zack proclaimed.
"I love you too!" Raya responded. "Anything interesting happening at work?"
"Three exchange students from Japan are going to be taking my children's class for a semester," Zack spoke.
"How exciting!" Raya exclaimed.
"I was thinking about asking some of the Starlight girls to play tour guide," Zack pondered.
"That's a good idea," Raya agreed.
Zack left the kitchen to go talk with his daughter. He approached the table to see his daughter wearing blue overalls and a white shirt. On the table was a colored picture of Jem that she had just finished. What she did not know was that Jem was currently the alter ego of her godmother Jerrica Benton. Anita had just started building a castle out of blocks when her father arrived.
"Did you draw this?" Zack asked while picking up the picture to look at it more closely.
"Yes, daddy," Anita replied.
"You're getting good at this!" Zack complimented while lightly ruffling his daughter's blonde hair.
"Thank you, daddy!" Anita beamed.
"Can I play too?" Zack wondered.
"Sure, " Anita agreed with a smile.
Zack enjoyed playing with his daughter so much that he did not see Raya bringing in breakfast.
"Hmm, I thought that I only had one child, but it seems that I have two," Raya joked.
"Are you telling me that an adult can't play with blocks?" Zack flippantly responded causing his daughter to giggle.
"Okay, I give," Raya gave in while raising her hands in a placating gesture. "How about you two taking a break to eat breakfast?"
"Back to the real world," Zack sighed as he and Anita followed Raya to the dining room table.
Zack picked Anita up and put her in a highchair. The Morgan family ate their oatmeal and toast while having a lively discussion. When they were done, Zack and Anita stood up and Raya cleared the dishes.
"Honey, could you please take Anita to Jerrica's on your way to work so I can get groceries," Raya requested. "She's expecting her."
"Okay, get your coat, sweetie," Zack ordered.
"Yes, daddy," Anita obediently answered while running to her room to get ready.
Zack retrieved his blue coat from the coat rack by the front door and picked up his car keys from the hook on the wall. His daughter quickly ran back to him after she finished bundling up.
"They have so much energy at this age," Zack thought with a smile.
Zack and Anita headed to Zack's brown station wagon. He buckled her in her seat and drove off after he buckled his own seatbelt. He quickly got to Starlight House since it was close by and rang the doorbell.
"There's my little angel!" Jerrica piped up when she opened the door.
"Thanks, Jerrica," Zack acknowledged as she scooped up his daughter and gave her a hug.
"I'm always happy to help out with my goddaughter!" Jerrica beamed.
"Daddy loves you!" Zack spoke while turning to leave.
"I love you!" Anita echoed.
Zack approached his car but stopped because a burning thought had entered his mind. He resolved to talk with Raya about it when he got back home.
"Are you okay?" Kimber asked, seemingly coming from out of nowhere which caused Zack to quickly turn around with his eyes fully opened. "I'm sorry!"
"Yeah, I'm okay," Zack sighed.
"You seem distracted about something," Kimber pressed.
"I was just thinking," Zack answered.
"Need to talk?" Kimber offered.
"I really should talk to Raya about this," Zack refused.
"Is she okay?" Kimber asked with a look of concern.
"Yes," Zack replied.
"It will be a while before you can talk with her," Kimber pointed out. "It won't be good for you to keep this locked in all day."
"I guess I can spare a couple of minutes," Zack conceded while checking his watch.
Zack got in his car and started it so the heater could turn on while Kimber climbed into the passenger seat.
"You're wanting another baby, aren't you?" Kimber questioned.
"I… uh…" Zack gasped because he was shocked that his friend seemed to be psychic. "I guess I am."
"I thought so," Kimber gloated.
"I'm an only child and my parents gave me everything that I could have needed, but…" Zack started to explain.
"You were lonely and you don't want Anita to be like that," Kimber finished.
"Are you psychic?" Zack demanded.
"I just know you really well," Kimber responded while shaking her head.
"The thing is that I don't want to pressure Raya because I know that it couldn't have been easy for her to have Anita," Zack put out.
"Even if she doesn't want to have more children, I'm sure that she would still want to talk about this with you," Kimber pressed. "If she doesn't want to go through all of the pain again, you should suggest adoption."
"Thanks, Kimber," Zack acknowledged.
"I'll say one more thing before I leave," Kimber offered. "If I was your wife, that reason would convince me to have a second child with you. Good luck!"
Kimber left after giving Zack's right shoulder a friendly squeeze and he drove to his job at Tao Dojo. He went to the locker room when he got there and changed into his blue sweats and white shirt with the company name on it. After he tied his black belt around his waist, he started his adult classes which were very demanding for him. His tradition before starting the children's class was to take a short walk to relax. When he got back, the five Starlight girls who were taking the class of course had a warm greeting for him, but what attracted his attention this time was three new girls having an animated discussion. One girl had a head of dark blonde hair that had two buns on top with a pony tail dangling from each of them. Another of the girls had a fiery disposition with raven hair. The third girl who was patiently listening to the argument had blue hair. Zack decided that the neighborly thing was to introduce himself.
"Serena, this class could be very useful to us," the fiery girl argued.
"But I don't want to stub my toe!" Serena whined.
"You are such a whiner!" the brunette protested.
"Am not!" Serena spat while sticking out her tongue.
"Excuse me," Zack quietly spoke which caused all three girls to quickly turn around. "I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Zack Morgan and I teach this class."
"I'm Serena Tsukino," the blonde offered.
"I'm Rei Hino," the brunette went on.
"I'm Amy Mizunio," the blue haired girl introduced.
"We're exchange students from Japan," Rei finished.
"Come see me after class," Zack requested. "I think that I can arrange for some people to show you around school."
"That would be nice," Serena accepted.
Zack conducted class by leading everyone through some light stretches and exercises with the Starlight girls taking up most of the front row. After the end of class, Zack waved the new girls over while approaching Ashley and company.
"Hello, Zack," Ashley greeted. "How are Raya and Anita?"
"They are fine," Zack replied. "I have a favor that I'd like to ask you."
"What?" Ashley probed.
"This is Amy, Serena, and Rei," Zack introduced. "They are exchange students from Japan. I was wondering if I could have some volunteers to show them around school."
Ashley, Deidre, and Lela volunteered. The girls were still getting acquainted after Zack changed back into their regular clothes. They all filed out behind Zack when they came across a teenage boy with black hair.
"So you actually took a Karate class, Meatball Head?" the boy taunted.
"That is not my name, Darien!" Serena protested.
"Is there a problem?" Zack barked.
"No, sir," Darien responded while slinking away.
Zack drove off in his car knowing that Raya would have already picked up Anita. Every time he drove home from the dojo, he had to drive through a quiet countryside. All of a sudden, his car started to sputter.
"Oh, no!" Zack spat while pulling off the road.
When he got out of his car, Zack saw a wicked looking man with blond hair wearing what appeared to be a military uniform. A terrifying idea occurred to Zack. What if this stranger had something to do with his car breaking down. If that was true, Zack wanted no part in fighting him.
