Okie, now that Word is back, I can finally update. Yay!
Well, here's the supposedly (I'm not so sure) long awaited Chapter 4 of Forever and Always. Enjoy!
Recap-
"You will die, princess, my master will make sure of it."
Usagi continued to stare, even as the man left, with Kenji and Ikuko leading him to the door. Shingo waved a hand in front of her face. "Earth to Usagi?" He tried a few more times, and then, with a resigned sigh he went back to the living room to play video games.
Usagi's parent came back, smiling. They looked at Usagi oddly, wondering why she was standing like a statue, arms straight at her sides and eyes wide. Eventually, like Shingo, they gave up and Ikuko walked to the dining room to clean up, while Kenji went to the living room.
Usagi's eyes twitched. 'How did that guy know who I am? He couldn't have been joking right?' She gulped, 'If he wasn't and he's a new enemy….I need to get my broach back soon!'
Usagi, after a few mumbled g'nights to her parents and Shingo, ran upstairs. Once there she changed into normal clothes, jeans and a sweater. Then, she set off towards the hall in search of her locket. She checked the shelves, then the laundry room.
No success.
She checked the whole upstairs except for one room. She was positive her broach wasn't downstairs, so she opened the door to her parent's room. She barely paid attention to the huge bed in the corner, or the giant bathroom attached to the room. She only had one thing in mind. She needed to find that broach no matter what!
She ransacked the drawers, in too much of a hurry to care if she got yelled at for messing up the room. Finally, in a drawer filled with lots of jewelry she found her broach, Usagi wondered why her mother put it in such an obvious place, but she supposed that maybe her mother thought that Usagi would give up on it.
Usagi ran back to her room, not bothering to care if anyone heard. She had to get to the time gates, fast!
Bursting through the door she ran to the window. Taking in a deep breath Usagi raised her broach in the air, then she called out in a loud voice 'Moon Eternal Power Make-up!!!'
Luckily, no one heard downstairs.
In a flurry of feathers and ribbons Eternal Sailor Moon replaced the area where Usagi once stood. Now fully transformed she opened the window carefully and jumped out, landing neatly on a branch of a tree that was conveniently only a few feet away from her bedroom window.
Usagi jumped down from the tree, this time clumsily, and almost fell once her feet touched the ground. After regaining her balance, she ran towards the lake, where there was a dock where boats where tied. It was the very lake where ChibiUsa once appeared.
Thinking of ChibiUsa brought painful memories back. And Usagi had to wipe tears from her eyes. She took a deep breath as she ran, she needed to stay calm and not break down into hysterics…
'Oh ChibiUsa….I wish you could enter this world as my daughter….But that's impossible now…I'm sorry….you'll always be my daughter in my heart……..'
Usagi, with a strangled sob, finally made it to the lake. Once there, memories resurfaced from their place deep in her mind and heart. Memories of ChibiUsa falling from the sky and landing on Usagi. Memories of Mamoru and her, on many dates and memories of ChibiUsa, going back to the future at this very place…
'Mamoru…' Usagi's eyes hardened. 'I must not think of him, the feelings I had for him were never true…I fell for him through manipulations of my mind and false stories. He's no longer in my heart. My love is Chaos...and I must find him!'
Holding up a small pink key, Usagi called up to the sky, "I call upon the power of Pluto! Take me to the Time Gates!'
Well, howdya like it? I want to know, please.
I worked hard . Yesh I did.
