Chapter 1: Prologue
"Hurry doctor, there's been a terrible car crash and there are two unconscious children." Cried a nurse to the doctor running across the hall. As the doctor neared, he could see a young black haired boy not over the age of 8. Next to him was a little girl, about 2 or 3.
"Do you have the identities of the young children?" he asked. The nurse shook her head.
"What about their parents. Are they still alive?" Still the nurse sadly shook her head. This was terrible. Two very young children without anyone to live with…
After examination, the doctor entered the little boy's room.
"Complete amnesia. He has no clue what his name is. I guess we should arrange for an orphanage."
"What about the little girl?" asked another doctor?
"A man claiming to be their uncle came and picked up the little girl. Her name was Ashley Shields. The uncle said that he could not care for both and just left with Ashley in his arms."
"Unbelievable. Such a heartless man." Said the doctor as a single tear left her eye.
AN: I would have this chapter end here, but it would be too short. So….enjoy!
Chapter 1: Ashley
It was a normal day at the Crown Arcade. Customers here, customers there…and the usual 'gang'. The gang consisted of Serena, a blonde with two unusual 'meatballs' on her head. Lita, a tall brunette, Mina, another blonde, but her hair was down and there was a red bow in her hair; Ami, a short, blue haired girl; Raye, a black, long haired girl; and the only male sitting with them, Darien Shields. He had short raven colored hair. His eyes could never be read, he was a cold, and distant man, mainly because he had been alone all his life. Ever since he was a little child. His parents had died from a car crash. All this time, he had though he was an only child. Who knew he could never be so wrong…
Another raven haired girl walked through the sliding doors into the arcade. She walked up to the counter, where Andrew, Darien's best friend was wiping the counter.
"Hi, what can I get you?" asked Andrew in that cheerful voice he was always in.
"Actually, I was walking by and I saw your 'now hiring' sigh and I was wondering if I could get a job." The girl shyly asked.
"Um…why don't we sit down and I we can begin a real interview. First, I need you to fill out an application." Andrew walked to the cashier and took out some paperwork. He handed Ashley the form and pen. Ashley accepted it and sat down at a booth to fill out her application.
Serena curiously sneaked over to the counter and fingered for Andrew to come.
"Hey Andrew, who's the girl?" she asked in a hushed voice.
"Oh, she's someone who wants a job. I haven't seen her around…maybe she's new here." He answered, unsure of himself. Serena shrugged and returned back to her spot in the booth.
"Who is she?" asked Mina.
"A girl who wanted a job. Ashley I think her name was."
After Ashley filled out her application, she and Andrew had an interview and Andrew accepted her for the job.
"Oh, thank you, Andrew!" she cried. "You can't believe how much I need the money! When can I start?"
"You can start right now, if you want to." He smiled, giving her an apron.
"I'd be glad to."
"Be careful of that table. The girl with the pigtails, she'll eat a lot so make sure you're a quick writer." He joked, pointing to Serena's table. Ashley laughed and walked over to their table.
"Hi, I'm Ashley. Do ya guys want anything to eat?" she asked.
"Sure, I'll have a coke." Answered Lita.
"Coffee." Darien added.
"Nothing for me." Replied Raye and Mina in unison.
"Um…I'll have a cheese burger, extra large fries, oh! A triple thick chocolate milkshake, and chips." She said in one quick breath, and smiled, content with her order. Ashley wrote it all down, and proceeded to the counter to give the chef the order.
"Wow. She's good. Andrew usually had to ask twice to get everything." Noted Ami. A black cat walked inside the arcade. Andrew looked and smiled at the little kitty. The cat was black with a yellow crescent moon mark on her forehead. She walked up and jumped onto Serena's lap.
"Hello Serena, everyone. Sorry I'm late. Your mother made me take a bath." Luna shuddered and glanced at Serena.
Moments later, Ashley returned with everyone's order. Luna felt a jolt of energy from the new girl. 'I wonder what that could be. Could it possibly be from her?' she asked herself but put it aside and joined her owner and her friends as they talked with Ashley.
"So, Ashley, did you just move here? I haven't seen you around." Asked Raye.
"Yeah. I moved here from New York City. I lived with my uncle, but I decided to move and be on my own."
"What about your parents? Don't you live with them?" asked Darien, surprised she didn't live with her parents. Ashley frowned.
"My parents died when I was 2. My uncle came and took me to live with him. Apparently, I was the only one that survived." She looked up, trying not to cry.
"Um…I have to go…see you guys around." She waved, gave her apron to Andrew and walked off.
'I wonder if she and I are related. I mean, I did have amnesia and I don't anything about my life before, so, I guess I'll check with the orphanage later.' Thought Darien to himself.
The group was enjoying their time when a white cat ran into the arcade, and leaped onto the table that Luna had. He, too, had a crescent moon on his forehead.
"Sorry to burst your bubbles, but there's a monster in the park and its stealing people's energy." He warned. Everyone got up and ran outside, into a back alley where they could transform without being detected.
"Moon Cosmic Power!"
"Mercury Star Power!"
"Mars Star Power!"
"Jupiter Star Power!"
"Venus Star Power!" Brilliant lights of pink, blue, red, green, and orange flashed as the girls became their other selves. The infamous Sailor Scouts. Darien pulled out a single red rose and in a flash, he too had become his other self, the mysterious, Tuxedo Mask. The group jumped onto the roof of the buildings in order to get the scene of the crime quicker without having people see them.
When they arrived, a green monster with 7 tentacles ran around the park, sucking the energy from civilian's bodies. Tuxedo Mask pulled out a rose and shot it at the monster, stunning it for a moment.
"How could steal the energy of the innocent people. I, Tuxedo Mask will defend this place from people like you!"
"Hey! That was my line!" squeaked Sailor Moon.
"Are you done yet? We have a monster to kill!" cried Sailor Mars. Sailor Moon pulled out her scepter. Right before she launched her attack, the monster's tentacles shot at her. Everyone else was too busy fighting off other attacks from the other tentacles. The tentacle caught Sailor Moon by the neck and lifted her off the ground. Sailor Moon dropped her scepter and a pink glow released from her. Suddenly, a green vine-like whip came out and struck the tentacle, causing the monster to release its hold on Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon dropped to the ground with a thud and retrieved her scepter.
"Moon…Scepter…Elimination!" she cried and the monster was blasted into many pieces. Everyone looked up to see who had saved Sailor Moon's life. A girl, wearing a sailor suit just like them but with a green skirt and shoes like Sailor Venus' but blue and black hair pulled into a high ponytail, standing on a branch. Her face was hidden in the shadows, her whip in hand.
"You need to be more careful, Sailor Moon, I might now be here to save you next time, and she jumped off, fading from their sight. A single white rose dropped as she had jumped. Tuxedo Mask walked up and picked up the rose.
"Maybe you two are related somehow." Suggested Sailor Moon.
"Yeah..maybe."
The next morning, Darien woke up and left early in the morning to find out if he was really the only survivor in the crash so many years ago.
As he neared the building, he could feel all the years he had spent in there, all the lonely nights, no friends, no one to play with. He walked in and walked up the information desk.
"How may I help you?" asked the woman sitting behind the desk.
"Yeah, I was wondering if I could see a file, Darien Shields? He was taken here 12 years ago."
"Hold on one moment please, it might take a while, seeing as how it such a long time ago."
About 5 minutes later, the woman went into a back room and returned with an old manila folder in her hand. She gave it to Darien. He smiled a thanks and sat down to read what it had said. He almost fainted when he read what was inside.
"Darien Shields. 6 years old. Parents died in car crash. Sister, Ashley Shields taken to Uncle in United States."
"Sister…Ashley….Shields…"
