            Ariel backed up and covered her eyes. Wind ripped by her and she was looking at a tall woman. She had rich red hair, which spiraled in curls to her waist. Her skin was a deep olive color with slanted green eyes. She wore a dark violet dress with open sides and a clear midriff. It stretched to her ankles. She wore black lace up boots to her knees.

            "Hello Mizuno Ariel." Her voice was soft but Ariel felt the evil vibrating from her.

            "What do you want?"

            "I want your powers."

            Ariel immediately drew her wand,

            "Mercury Power! Make-Up!"

            Nothing happened.

            "N..Nani?"

            She swallowed,

            "Mercury power! Make-Up!"

            Nothing.

            "Mercury Power! MAKE-UP!"

            Before she could do anything else, she was pushed down and felt her ribs snap as this creature yanked her heart from her chest.

            "Ariel! Ariel! Darling, Wake up!"

            Ariel sat up, tears streaming down her face.

            "Mommy!"

            Even though Ariel was seven, she crawled into her mother's open arms. Amy immediately walked over to the rocking chair and began to rock her daughter, to calm her. But for the first time, not even her mother's motions could calm her.

            "Ariel, darling, calm down!"

            The girl tried but was still trembling. But her mother's comforting words and motions helped a little. She laid deep into her mother's torso and let her mother's warm embrace wash over her. It brought her some comfort although the pain that cut through her heart, pain of fear, was still very much present.

            "Baby? What was the dream about?"

            Ariel had been having less nightmares lately so one like this was quite a shock. But Ariel suddenly did not want to share her dream, not with anyone.

            "I..I don't remember Mommy."

            "Are you sure Darling?"

            Ariel nodded.

            She couldn't talk about it, not yet.

            "Why didn't you tell your mother, Ariel?" Madelyn asked as they walked home from school. Ariel had finally decided to tell her best friend, just to get a second opinion.

            "because I think it's a warning for the future."

            Madelyn bit her lip. Ariel's future sense, although still not fully developed was seldom wrong when it decided to show itself. It scared Madelyn a bit.

            "Well, well," a voice sneered, "If it isn't Tomoe Madelyn and Mizuno Ariel."

            The two girls turned. They'd been trailing behind the others. Ariel's face went white.

            "it's you."

            The red haired woman smiled evilly and released a blast of power at them but they dodged. Both drew their henshin wands.

            "Or should I say, Sailor Chibi Mercury and Sailor Chibi Saturn?"

            the two girls nodded, "well if you know," Madelyn stated.

            "Saturn power!"

            "Mercury power!"

            In unison, the two cried,

            "MAKE-UP!"

            The woman sneered.

            Both girls gasped in fear and shock.

            "N..n…nani?"

            Nothing happened.
