Tales of the Past

Prologue
In a vast city in the 30th century is where our tale begins
The wind whistled through the empty streets
The trees bent in agony at the loss heavy in my heart
Our sister in friendship becomes queen of this planet today
We are to meet here after six hundred years
Here at the Hikawa Jinjo where we had our secret meetings
Mina was the first to arrive after myself
Her Golden Blonde hair swayed about her knees as she walked
Blue eyes, brighter than the sky peeked out from behind untrimmed bangs
She wore a tight black leather skirt with fishnet stockings
Her top was an orange halter-top with sheer sleeves covering her hands
The shoes she wore were outrageously orange with a silver buckle on top
She looked thinner than when I'd seen her last
At most 100 pounds of strictly muscle
Her lips were painted red and her eyelids were orange
She seemed to be the faded version of an old fashion Model
She reminded me of a sunburst, though she too was sad
Rei came next of our group
She held her head high and her back straight
She was the embodiment of elegance
With her hair the color of midnight
And Lord! Her eyes like the sweet smelling Lavender
Her clothing consisted of a black skirt and jacket
She wore a blood red, obviously silk shirt, under that selfsame jacket
Her shoes were modest black which covered modest stockings
On her lips was the darkest red, like blackcherry
And her eyelids were the same creamy tone as the rest of her skin.
She too looked thinner than when last I saw her
But enough about her, she always liked her peace
And being a Senator certainly wasn't peaceful
Ami arrived next, with a look none of us would have guessed
She had allowed her dark blue hair to grow past her knees
She wore a tight, revealing, leather bodysuit the color of the sky
Her dark blue eyes were framed by bright blue eyeliner and eye shadow
On her lips was the palest blue lipstick
She wore fishnet stockings the same blue as her outfit
On her feet she wore pale blue boots that reached her knees
She walked with her shoulders back and her head held high
She had become completely opposite from out dear friend from so long ago
Then came the final person in our gathering
Kristina's hair was cut short like a boys'
Her red tresses were no where to be seen
She'd dyed her hair mud brown to cover the bright locks
And masked the brilliant blue eyes with brown contacts
She had filled out in all the right ways
The clothes she wore accented every curve without being flashy
Brown seemed to be the color she'd adapted
Her modest outfit and modest manners suited her just fine
She looked the perfect part of the lawyer that she was.
As they gathered I said to them:
"Let us be on our way,
I dread this day enough as it is"
Rei her eyes partially open nodded respectfully
She started out of the Jinjo, which her family had owned for centuries
We all followed the Senator because she had come to play the part
Ami and Kristina chatted idly about nothing in particular
Mina walked a ways back with her head hung low
"What is the meaning of this dear sister?" I asked
A smile claimed her lips
"I would rather not discuss it" she replied
She turned away and walked with her lips firmly closed and her eyes almost shut
I noticed that all conversation had stopped
An Idea struck me then
An idea that might just make everyone's day brighter
"Girls, how about each of us tell a tale,
A tale of our simple lives and the lives of those who have helped us"
"Who will go first, oh great thinker?" Ami spat spitefully
"Who is willing to share such personal information?" Kristina inquired
"Who can actually tell something worth telling?" Rei questioned as well
"No one has ever helped me, except you guys…" came the muted reply of Mina
"Mina if you would like or rather I nominate you to go first,
Besides she who will be queen, you are our leader, and then I will go
Followed by Rei, and then Kristina
Ami will be last" I explained
"Yes let me be last, I've always been picked last, 'Don't pick her she's too smart'
It's all about the stupid, pretty, petite girls; well I'm one of them now
I am Ami Mizuno, leader of the Aqua Team of Doctors at the Azubu University"
"I will go first, I am supposed to be the leader…but I will not tell of my life
I will tell of my dreams, of my love, but it was not me who experienced these things"
