They smiled at each other and sat down on the grass. Wordlessly, they enjoyed the scenery in front of them as the sun slowly descended.
Chapter 2
She sat in the comfortable chair and smiled as she saw the people walk by outside. A waitress came by and dropped off her fruit tea a long time ago, but she didn't take more than a sip of it. She seemed more interested in the person who sits across from her, scratching his neck as he concentrates.
He seems to mutter something underneath his breath as he finished reading the script he holds in his hand.
"This is incredible! We would love to turn this into a movie," he said. The girl smiled and they shook hands.
"We can start casting in two months," the girl, Nessa, replied to her now co-boss, Mr. Nolan Eastwood. The two ended their meeting and Mr. Eastwood left. Leaving the girl smiling on her own. Holden sits down across from her as soon as Eastwood left.
"It's a go?" Holden asked. Nessa nodded, a huge smile on her face.
"We don't start until college starts in September either so we can still hang out in the summer if you want," Nessa said, taking a final sip of her long cold fruit tea. She called for the check and stood up with Holden, ready to go.
"Where do you wanna go next, movie star?" Holden said teasingly. Nessa giggled. But before she could reply, both of their watches beeped and the angel symbol lit up.
"So it's time," Nessa stated quietly. She didn't want to leave her family again. Things were finally getting back to normal with her parents back together. They exited the cafe they were in quietly and went in the direction of their apartment they live in for college.
They've been getting messages like these for the past about month now. But no instructions had been given on how they go back. There was even ones where the apparent enemy sent a message. But it didn't threaten the 'real' world they live in, only the Sailor Moon Universe. So the two of them had just been ignoring the messages as best as they can. There was even one from the apparent enemy.
This time, they were given instructions. Very specific instructions. But it didn't say who had to come so they had a bit of flexibility there.
"Should we take Roni with us?" Holden asked after a while. Nessa laughed a bit, biting her lip while she was thinking.
"It would be best to do so, even with the recent events. I bet Shingo missed her," Nessa replies with a chuckle. Holden nodded. Roni is 9 years old now. The ten years age gap is still apparent but at least they didn't have to worry that much when the two of them left for college since James and Maybel, Nessa and Roni's parents, can take care of Roni together.
"Speaking of which," Holden added. "Did we find out what three the car at her the other day? Or who saved her?"
"No, all we know is that a girl about our age with her fiancé took Roni to the hospital afterwards. And that the girl was unconscious because she hit her head," Nessa said, her brows furrowed.
"Why fiancé?" Holden asked, curious.
"Well, she had a ring on her ring finger..." Nessa said, than shrugged. "Although that could be a total coincidence," she added.
"Hey, this is kind of random. But you know that you can tell me anything, right?" Holden said, remembering a vision from before about Nessa having a disease.
"Yeah...?" Nessa replied, feeling uneasy. Did she say something wrong? Holden shook his head after some hesitation.
"Roni came home from the hospital yesterday," Nessa said, changing the topic. There's something else she's worried about, Holden could tell from her movements. The way she plays with her hair nervously, or how she stumbled on nothing while walking several times.
Nessa and Holden goes to the same college. They don't have much classes together, but they still hang out and they do share an apartment outside of the campus. But Izzy and Hinata were separated from them once they graduated high school. Izzy went to an acting school somewhere near New York City. Hinata got into a medical school near that as well so Nessa and Holden just assumed that those two stayed in contact after graduation. After they found out which college they were going to, they were allowed to skip the rest of the school year since they finished taking all the tests needed and the teachers weren't teaching anything new anymore. That was about the beginning of May, it's near the end of June already. They probably should try and contact the two New Yorkers soon.
Not saying that any of them are weak, but Angel probably would want the team as a whole if she's calling the two of them. Looks like this is going to be a heck of a summer vacation.
The two did what they were told to do after getting Roni from Nessa's house. One second they were there, the next they're gone.
Lolololol
"You're awake!" Hinata said with a soft smile. Izzy smiled back at him, ignoring the small headache she felt. She looked around her, trying to piece together the puzzles in her head. Hinata look like he slept here. The last thing she remembered was the accident and Roni.
"Is Roni ok?" Izzy asked, sitting up on the hospital bed. Hinata nodded, mumbling something underneath his breath.
"You look like hell," Izzy said, looking at Hinata's messy hair and clothes. He chuckled.
"I'm not the one with bandages on my head sitting in a hospital bed," Hinata replied with a smile. Izzy nodded, that explained the headache.
"Did you fall asleep during the night?" Izzy asked, trying her best to look casual.
"Yeah, it's a good thing your injuries weren't that serious. Who would've know that Les Avis would send a car flying at you and Roni. It's a good thing no one was around when it happened, or else we would have to deal with the media," Hinata replied. Izzy sighed, oh yeah, that happened.
"I forgot, where are we again?" Izzy asked, rubbing her temples.
"Naoko City , we were visiting your mansion to get your things, remember?" Holden asked with a worried tone. Izzy searched her head for her answer.
"...No?" Izzy said slowly. Then it was like a lightbulb went off in her head. "Oh right! I remember."
Hinata smiled in relief before standing up. "We should probably sign you out of the hospital and actually do what we were going to do," he said.
Before Izzy could reply, both of their watches beeped with a message from Angel.
We need you, hit your own button twice to be tranfered,
Without hesitation, the two of them did as instructed.
