Betrayal of the Moon – Chapter 3
Galaxia's POV
I reacted without thinking. As soon as the person said "Galaxia?" I whipped around and pinned them to the wall closest to them, knocking everything in their hands to the floor. I couldn't recognise the white hair, tanned skin or purple-grey eyes – it was a random person who knew my secret identity.
"Who are you? And how do you know my secret!?" I said quickly, hoping to get it out of her quickly. As soon as I said that, she looked at me, her eyes opening wide.
"You don't recognise me?" she said, and I still couldn't place her. She started struggling against me, so I just pushed her harder against the wall.
"No. So tell me who you are or ill end your life" I growled at her, quickly losing my temper.
"The name's Serena, also known as Sailor Moon. Judging by your reaction, you weren't expecting me in Australia" she giggled at my expression. I think I looked like a fish.
"Sailor Moon!" I said, and I hugged her. I had missed her so much. Ever since I went to fix all the damage I had done, I had wanted to see her again. After I fixed it all, I came back to earth because no one knew me here as the 'bad guy'. And I chose Australia because it was warm and sunny, and had nice people. It reminded me a bit of my home planet before….. Well, that was too painful to think about.
"So what have you doing since you left? And why are you here in Australia?" she asked, getting down and picking up the things I had made her drop. I knelt down and helped her.
"I could ask the same about you actually, but I'll tell you anyway. I went around and fixed all the problems that I had caused, and then I decided to come back to earth because no one here knows about me. I came to Australia because it seemed like such a nice place, and I love the weather" I said, watching as her facial expressions changed from happy to understanding to happy once again.
"That's so great! And we're together here now, so we can get to know each other better!" she exclaimed, standing up and placing her stuff on her bed.
"Where's everyone else?" I asked, as she began unpacking her bags. I saw her shoulders stiffen, and then she took a deep breath.
"Back in Japan" was all she said. I reached for her shoulder and turned her to me. I could tell something was up by the way her voice wavered a bit.
"Serena, what happened?" I asked her, and sat her down on my bed next to me.
"Ummmmm, well, it's a long story..." she began, but I cut her off.
"I've got all day, so begin" I ordered, and she told me the saddest story I've ever heard. It reminded me of a book I read once, called 'Betray all those others'.
"And then I got accepted by Bond, and met you!" she finished. I could see how much they had hurt her, and how long it was taking her to recover. I knew she didn't want any more sympathy. So I did the only thing I could think of. I changed the topic.
"Let's go to the beach. You know how to surf, right?" I asked her, and she shook her head, looking at me with hopeful eyes.
"Then I'm going to teach you!" I yelled as I ran to get my togs, "Got dibs on the bathroom first!" I yelled. I could hear her laughing at me, and then her finding her togs to wear.
"Don't forget a rashie! Otherwise you'll burn to death!" I yelled through the door and then I heard a thud and some loud cursing. This was going to be fun.
Raye's POV
"And so, you can upgrade to your cosmic forms if you use your Imperium Crystal in the new brooches I gave you. All you need to do is use your planet name, then Eternal Power!" Luna finished and then nodded at me. I pulled my Red Imperium Crystal out of its eternal brooch, and put it into the new, very sophisticated case. It looked like Serena's did, but mine was red, and it was shinier than hers ever was.
"Mars Eternal Power!" I yelled, and then stood there in my new outfit. I wore a two layered skirt, and the sleeves were light red puffs with a double band of darker red fabric at the bottom. I also wore white boots with a red v shaped border on them.
"WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" came a collective gasp from everyone.
"Let's get rid of the nuisance" I said, and everyone cheered.
I opened my eyes and sat up in the comfy airplane seat. I loved that dream. I had to be one of the best days of my life.
I stretched my arms and I accidently hit something. Actually, someone.
"Sorry Darrien" I said, laughing at his expression after being woken up. He looked so grumpy. He never was one for long flights.
"That's ok honey. When will we be there?" he replied, and he was answered seconds later by the intercom.
"Good morning! We will be arriving in Brisbane at 8:37 am, their time. Please enjoy your stay, and fly Qantas airlines again!" his cheery voice reminded us.
"Well, thanks to jetlag, I will be sleeping all day today. I look so bad" Mina said from behind me. She really did look worse for wear.
"Wow, look at it!" Lita said from next to her, and then I heard Trista telling Horatu about Brisbane's history. Amara and Michelle were discussing whether to sleep, shop or find some street races first. Ami was talking to Darrien about where we were staying, and all the must see sights. I just sat thinking.
"Wouldn't it be nice if we went to the beach near here, the Gold or Sunshine Coast. It was only a little drive, or so it said on the websites that I've researched Brisbane on" I said, and everyone turned to me.
"Great idea Raye! Let's do it tomorrow!" Amara said, as we touched down "but first, some sleep."
