Author's notes : I know very well none of this follows the Sailor Moon plot... only the fact that the characters are in it... but they're not where they should be... or anything. It's based on a dream, and we all know how dreams are, right? It doesn't help I missed a lot of episodes in the later series... sigh. Oh well. Here you go. ^_^ And of course... I don't own Sailor Moon, but no one owns my dreams... :P JUST ME! Nyah hahaha.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun was shining, everyone was happy. When the sun wasn't out, the moon was sparkling, and the stars danced. Why couldn't it have stayed that way? The sun stayed shining, the birds kept singing, and the kids kept playing... but THEY had to stop and forget their happiness.
"Darien, do you feel that?" Serena asked, her blue eyes drooping with worry. She'd gotten older... Older than she was in her scout days. Not by much, but those days felt so far behind now. It had been peaceful for so long. At first they were all hesitant to relax, but as of the past year, they almost had forgotten what it was like to have to transform into their other selves.
"Just try to not sense it... maybe it's just something passing through. Maybe it's something we can't change. Maybe... Maybe we should give the other girls a call." Darien sighed, hugging his girl closer to him. They were having such a nice calm walk through a simple park. On vacation no less. Now, if it were what it felt like, they'd have to go back home. "Did you feel that?"
Serena winced, nodding slowly. "It's closer. And stronger. Let's hurry Darien, I want to go home. LUNA!"
Luna raced up to the couple, and jumped onto the shoulder of the girl. The three seemed to just vanish in a blur, running to the place where they were staying at. No one around noticed, just carrying about their business. Who has time to notice anything these days?
"Amara? Am I doing this right?" Molly muttered, while dropping a pot of pasta into the sink, and having it all slosh over the side, "NEVERMIND!"
"Looks like you were around Serena too long." Amara smirked, "Just let it sit there and cool, the sink's clean enough."
The pair are still back in Japan. Since Michelle died, the other girls though it a good idea for Amara to live with someone new. The two didn't click right away, as was expected. Amara and Michelle were so close... Time went on though, and the two wound up living together. Molly had left Melvin, and needed someone too, so it was the best match anyone could see.
While Molly still tried to scoop the fallen pasta back into the pot, despite what was told of her, Amara fell forward off of the couch she was sitting on. Looking over at her housemate, she was glad Molly didn't see what happened. The tall blonde quickly slipped back on her spot on the couch, and rubbed the back of her head, a harsh feeling ripping through her. It felt as if someone had smacked her with a concrete block. Then the voice... The voice had been silent for a long time... Michelle's...
(Sorry Amara... You haven't been listening. Did death cause us to lose our link?)
"..." Amara didn't know what to think back, causing a laugh from the voice inside her head. "I'm sorry... I suppose I just didn't want to hear it. It's been hard. Harder than I expected..."
(I know, it's been hard for me too. Especially when you would ignore me.) Michelle's voice went silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about what to say, wherever she was... (Nevermind though, I've been trying to reach you. A spirit from here has gotten loose. A horrible one. It's headed straight for earth. Your time. Serena and Darien have sensed it already. It's only a matter before the others do.)
Amara closed her eyes, and nodded a little, folding her hands over her knees, ignoring the sounds of Molly screaming as she scalded her hands.
(Amara, you're not going to be able to do this without another scout. With me and Hotaru unable to fight again, you'll need another.)
"But who?" But she already knew the answer...
(Heh, I'm surprised by you. Give her my...")
"NO!" Amara screamed aloud, making Molly fall back, throwing fistfuls of pasta into the air.
"I'm sorry! I'll leave the rest alone!" Molly cried, getting up from the floor.
The voice was gone. Michelle always knew when to give up, but she also knew when she had gotten her point through anyway. Amara would teach Molly what to do. How to do it. Why she had to do it...
The rest of the girls were fairly unchanged. Lita was still boy crazed, Rei was still trying to keep control of the other girls, Ami was still buried in books, and Mina was still a video game addict. Minus having to occasionally change into the Sailor Scouts, nothing was much different. Save the fact they were all a bit older now. Maybe it was these slight changes in their lives while they were Scouts, maybe it was the fact they were all still very close, maybe... maybe a lot of things. But whatever it was, they all felt the presence of something headed towards them, at the exact same time. Lita while scoping out boys at the mall, Rei while doing a fire reading at the temple, Ami while in the library, and Mina while fighting the evil forces of pixels at the local arcade. All four of them, out of old forced habit, dropped what they were doing, and quickly congregated outside of Rei's temple. None of them could understand what had drawn them to do this, and especially since despite their closeness, they were in contact just a little less these days.
The second one to get there was Mina, the first obviously being Rei. She flew up the stairs, panting and having Artemis cling to her shoulder for dear life. Rei looked fairly shocked to see the blonde haired girl and her cat headed towards her. She thought she was the only one to remember...
"REI! Did you feel it..." Before she could finish her thought, Mina knew by the look on Rei's face that she had felt it too.
"I did. I'm surprised you did. Do you think the others..."
As if in response to that, Lita came barreling up the steps, with Ami following a moment after, dragging a bookbag behind her.
"Just like old days, huh guys? And look at that, Serena's late again!" Lita laughed, panting hard, and bending over to catch her breath.
The other girls laughed, but quickly hushed up when Artemis began to speak, "Girls, I know it's been a long time, but the time has come again. The earth needs the Sailor Scouts again."
They all stared at the white cat for a long while, not saying anything. Obviously they all had things to think about, questions they had to ask themselves, questions they wanted to ask, but were unsure of...
"We have to do it..." Ami whispered, staring at the ground. She, like the others, had started to get used to this new life, but someone had to say what they were all thinking.
"Yea..." The other girls whispered. Without really thinking about it, they all formed a circle, and each put a hand into the centre. They stood like that for some time, until the nice bright morning sky turned gray, and the raindrops began to fall. They moved into Rei's room, just in time to have the phone ringing.
"Hello?" Rei answered, not expecting a phonecall.
When a squeal eminated through the phone, all of the girls heard, and started to laugh, it was Serena, "REI! I never thought I would say this, but I miss you!"
Rei blushes and throws the phone to Ami, who drops a book in order to catch it, "Hello Serena, we're all here. How is your vacation?" She hoped that maybe Serena hadn't felt what the others had all felt...
"It WAS great, until me and Darien got this icky creepy feeling. Wait, are you all at the temple? That would explain why you all IGNORED me..."
Ami blinked and rubbed at her forehead, "We weren't ignoring you Serena. Yes, we're all here. Are you coming home? Artemis thinks we have to become the Scouts again."
A loud sobbing from the phone made Ami hold it as far away from her as possible, wincing. When the horrible sound ended, Ami brought the phone back to her ear, "It's not so bad Serena..."
"We were starting to be NORMAL! It's not fair!"
A click. She had hung up.
"Same old Serena..." Ami whispered, handing the phone back to Rei.
"Well, is she coming home?" Lita asked, while curling up on a pillow.
"I don't know. If Darien has anything to say about it, I'm sure we'll see her soon." Ami shrugged.
This was a lot for all of them, not just Serena. Though, it was probably worse for her, especially since she was the one to actually watch two of the scouts die. Two of the scouts that were there to protect her...
