Hi Everyone! We were given the idea to write an "I wish I was never born" series for each Chibi Scout. Apparently everyone liked the "It's a Wonderful Christmas" involving Rini.
Disclaimer: We do not own Sailor Moon. All of the Chibi Scouts except for Rini belong to Angel Raye.
Life without Me
Part One: Ariel
Ariel came home from school in tears. It had been a dreadful day. Some of the kids picked on her again because of her young age. There were times when she hated being only six and in third grade. She was just to young to make any friends. True her palace friends were with her but Annika and Gloria had each other. Even though Faith was in a different class she and Hope stuck together. Madelyn was in second grade so she and Ariel could not always be together. Ariel sometimes wondered if her high I.Q. was a gift or a curse.
She arrived at her mother's office. Hotaru was looking at some charts. She looked up when Ariel came in. "Hello Ariel," she said. "Are you okay?"
"I want my mommy," sobbed Ariel. "Where is she?"
"She's having a session with Annika right now," Hotaru replied.
Ariel pouted. That was a bad thing about having her mother as the palace doctor. She was always so busy. "I guess I will see her later then," she muttered with a sigh and left the office and a worried looking Hotaru.
"Come on Ariel cheer up," pleaded Moonbeam who hated seeing his young owner so distressed.
"Sometimes I really hate my life," cried Ariel.
"You don't mean that," protested Moonbeam.
"Yes I do," sobbed Ariel. "Sometimes I wish I had never been born."
Moonbeam decided he needed to go and get Amy or Greg. It was not like Ariel to be like this and that worried him. He left the room in search of one or both of them.
"Be careful what you wish for little one," a soft voice whispered to Ariel. Ariel looked up and saw a young girl standing next to her.
"Who are you," she gasped.
"My name is Claris and I am your guardian angel," Claris replied.
"My guardian angel," gasped Ariel in awe. "Why are you here?"
"I am here to grant your wish," Claris replied. "I am here to show you what life would be like if you had never been born."
"WHAAA???" Ariel questioned frightened by the prospect.
"You just wished that you had nver been born and they have sent me to show you what it would be like" Claris replied holding out a hand to the frightened girl
"Really?? I guess it would be okay to go with you" Ariel replied taking the outstretched hand.
"I promise no harm will come to us but I think it will be a good thing for you to see" Claris told her as she opened a portal for them to travel by.
"Okay hopefully I won't be missed to much" Ariel replied with one last glance around her room.
"Where are we?" Ariel questioned not recognizing the place
"This is the place where your father lives" Claris replied
"Where does mommy live?" Ariel questioned scared of the prospect of her parents being divorced or worse.
"Oh she lives at the palace but we will get to that shortly but for now there is something you need to see" Claris whispered as she guided Ariel inside the small house.
Ariel looked and saw Greg with a little girl with braces on her legs. The child was walking with the aid of a walker.
"Good girl Jeanette," Greg told the child. "I knew you would get the hang of that walker."
"Thank you Daddy," Jeanette replied. She sat down on the couch next to Greg. "Is Mommy going to come and visit me today?"
"I don't know Princess," Greg replied sadly. "She doesn't come here very often I know."
"Why can't we live at the palace anymore," Jeanette asked.
"Mommy and I are separated," Greg explained. "Mommy gave custody of you to me. You know Mommy and I cannot be near each other."
"I don't understand," gasped Ariel. "Mommy and Daddy love each other. Mommy would never give me up."
"You were never born," Claris explained. "This child was born instead of you."
"But why would Mommy and Daddy not be able to be near each other" Ariel cried
"You shall see shortly," Claris said as she guided Ariel toward a new destination
"This must be the palace sick room" Ariel gasped looking at the room now totally different then she remembered
"Things are different here little one" Claris said as they watched Ami enter.
"Hmmm let's see I've got an appointment with Annika in 10 minutes, then I have to give one of the maids a shot, and then maybe I can make it out to see Jeanette" Ami mused talking to herself
"Aunt Ami I'm here" Annika said as she walked into the her small office
"Annika how nice to see you please sit down over here" Ami said
"Okay Aunt Ami. How is Jeanette?" Annika timidly asked
"Her father tells me she is doing well," Ami said as she sat in the chair across from Annika
"I wish she lived here she was fun to play with" Annika said
"You will never be able to play normal games with her" Ami said sharply
"I know but at least we can talk and do quiet games" Annika whispered
"You can do whatever you wish with her but I wish that you not speak of her again in my presence" Ami almost shouted but remembered she was talking to a small child.
"I'm sorry Aunt Ami" Annika sobbed as she buried her head in her hands
"It's okay Annika I'm just not up to talking about her so why don't we talk about you" Ami said
"Okay I guess" Annika whispered trying not to anger her aunt.
"That is not my mother" Ariel shouted once they had gotten away from the palace.
"This is your mother of this time she is so shut off from feelings," Claris said
"Is it because of Jeanette?" Ariel inquired
"Yes after it was discovered the child would never walk without aides she just broke down and gave up on it all" Claris said "She shut everyone out of her life even her husband"
"How sad" Ariel cried in tears
"I know little one but we must see some other things," Claris said as she guided Ariel toward their next destination.
"This is Madelyn's quarters," Ariel cried. "Why are we here?"
"You shall see," Claris replied. She led Ariel into Madelyn's room. Madelyn was sitting on the bed clutching a stuffed animal to her chest. Hotaru came in. "Why don't you go and find the others and play with them Darling," asked Hotaru.
Madelyn just shook her head and did not say a word. Hotaru kissed Madelyn and left the room. Anthony was sitting on the couch. "Any luck," he asked.
"No," Hotaru sighed as she sat on the couch next to her husband. "She is so withdrawn. It's like she is in another world."
"I just wish she would talk," Anthony pointed out. "If we can get her to say just ten words to us she is doing good."
"She just slips further away everyday," Hotaru said. "I am so afraid we are going to lose her one day."
"Why is Madelyn so withdrawn" asked Ariel in distress.
"You weren't around to be her best friend," replied Claris. "As a result she is a very shy and withdrawn child."
"Poor Madelyn," whispered Ariel as a tear rolled down her face.
"Let's go," ordered Claris. "There is still more to see."
"What is this place" Ariel shivered as she noticed how cold it was
"This is the gates of time" Claris said wrapping a blanket around Ariel
"Why are we here?" Ariel questioned
"You'll see" Claris said as Maggie rushed in
"MOM" Maggie shouted near tears
"What's wrong sweetheart" Setsuna questioned
"Some boy tried to hit Jeanette today and Daisy got hurt trying to protect her" Maggie cried
"I know sweetie but Daisy will be okay," Setsuna said soothing her daughter's messy hair
"I just wish sometimes that Jeanette were different," Maggie said wiping away the tears
"I know but we cannot change what the fates have in store for us" Setsuna told her
"I know mommy but it's hard some days to accept it" Maggie sighed snuggling into her mom's arms.
"Why are we here," asked Ariel as they arrived in an area of town.
"Take a look," Claris told her. Ariel looked and saw the Chibi Scouts in battle. The youma was huge. Chibi Mars, Chibi Pluto and Chibi Neptune were all down. Chibi Jupiter was trying to fight the youma with Chibi Uranus's help.
"This one is strong," called Chibi Jupiter.
"If only we could find its weakness," shouted Chibi Uranus.
"What we need is a Chibi Scout with a high I.Q. like our mothers have Sailor Mercury," called Cosmic Moon as she tended to her fallen comrades.
"No chance of that," shouted Chibi Venus who had a visor over her eyes. "I still can't figure out how this works. If only Jeanette could be a Sailor Scout."
"Well she can't so try to find something out for us," called Cosmic Moon.
"Try aiming for its stomach," called Chibi Venus. Chibi Jupiter and Chibi Uranus threw their attacks at the youma. He roared and they all went down.
"WORLD SHAKING!"
"DEEP SUBMERGE!"
"JUPITER OAK EVOLUTION!"
The three attacks of the adult Sailor Scouts got the youma. Then all of the Scouts went to help their fallen children.
"I cannot use this thing Mom," sobbed Gloria later on.
"I know Darling but since Amy's daughter cannot be a scout they chose you since I used to be Sailor V," Mina replied.
"I could have killed my friends today," cried Gloria. "I am not smart enough to do this."
"You can do it with practice," assured Mina as she hugged her daughter.
"I don't understand," gasped Ariel.
"Jeanette can't be a sailor scout so Gloria got the tools you have," Claris told her. "She does not have the knowledge to use those tools. You do."
"I guess they really do need me" Ariel sobbed
"Of course they do little one but there is one more thing you need to see" Claris said
"Why are we back here" Ariel questioned
"I wanted you to see what will happen when your mom visits Jeanette" Claris told her
"Oh okay" Ariel sighed
"MOMMY" Jeanette cried as she saw Ami walk through the door of the cottage
"Hi sweetheart you are doing so good with your walker" Ami said
"Thanks daddy has been helping me practice" Jeanette happily cried
"I'm glad and I'm sorry that I don't come as often" Ami told her
"It's okay I know you are busy at the palace but I wish I lived there I miss my friends" Jeanette whispered
"You can never be normal like them so why would you want to be around them" Ami said dejectedly
"They like me for who I am Mommy they don't care that I can't get around like they do" Jeanette said almost shouting
"Don't take that tone of voice with me young lady" Ami shouted
"Sorry Mommy but I'm telling the truth just ask them" Jeanette said
"Maybe one day I will but for now I must run" Ami said getting up and heading for the door.
"You just got here," Jeanette cried trying to run to her mom but falling
"I'm sorry but I just can't do this" Ami cried running out the door.
"Daddy" Jeanette sobbed
"I'm sorry sweetie I know your mom can be cruel but she does love you" Greg assured his little girl
"Not like you do," Jeanette said
"This is so sad I have got to get back home," Ariel said
"Now you see what would happen if you were missed" Claris said
"Yes and I don't wanna be missed I want to go home to my loving parents" Ariel cried
"Then all we need to do is step back through the portal," Claris said holding out her hand
"Thanks for everything" Ariel said as she took Claris' hand and entered the portal.
"You're welcome" Claris replied
Ariel found herself back in her room. She was relieved to be back. She had no idea how important she was.
"Ariel," Amy came in concerned. "Aunt Hotaru and Moonbeam told me how upset you were. Are you all right?"
"Mommy," cried Ariel as she flung her arms around her mother's neck. She began to cry.
"What's wrong Darling," asked Amy as she stroked Ariel's short blue hair.
"My guardian angel came and visited me," Ariel replied in a rush. "She showed me what life would be like if I was never born. You and Daddy were divorced and you were so mean to the little girl you had instead of me because she couldn't walk."
"Whoa slow down Sweetie," Amy said. "It sounds like you had an incredible dream."
"It was not a dream Mommy," Ariel insisted. "It happened."
"Well okay if you say so," Amy replied.
"I know now that I am important," Ariel replied.
"I would not give you up for anything in the world," Amy assured her little girl. "You are the most important person in the world to me and I don't ever want you to think otherwise."
"I won't Mommy," said Ariel. She was quiet for a minute and then asked. "What would you give me if I gave you a giant hug?"
"I will give you a giant kiss," Amy replied and she did just that.
Ariel snuggled down into her mother's arms feeling a lot better about things.
