Chapter 3: Angelica's discovery

"ANGE!" Came Rue's call. They had fixed it how Angelica's passport now read 16 instead of 18, so now Angelica can finish school. Angelica finished putting on her shoes and grabbed her back-pack. She ran down the stairs of the house that Nick, and her shared with Rue Earth, Jacob Flame, Matthew Glowstone, Nathan Thunder, and Zachary Wave. Also known to them as Sailor Earth (A/N lol, can you figure out why she is?), Jadeite, Malachite, Nephrite, and Zoisite. Angelica barley made it out the door before the bus arrived to pick them all up. Rue and Nick were both thirteen, so they were in Middle School. Jake, Mat, Nate, Zack, and her were all in High School. Jake and Mat being a grade higher then Angelica, Nate and Zack. When they got on the bus, they went to the back were they always sat. Rue sat next to Nick, like always. Jake sat next to Mat, and Zack sat next to Nate. Angelica sat by herself, but that didn't stop Rue from talking to her.

"How do you make it every time Ange?" Rue asked looking over at her from her and Nick's seat across the aisle. Ange shrugged. "I know you could have been out there before us if you had wanted to, so why did you wait?" Rue asked softly.

"I was thinking about the memories that continue to come back and of that dream I had on the plane, but mostly I keep thinking of them." Ange said softly, and Rue understood then. She reached her hand across the aisle and squeezed Ange's hand. Ange just smiled. "Thanks Rue." She whispered, it was Rue's turn to smile.

"No prob, Ang." She said softly. Then they were silent the rest of the bus ride. The first stop was the Middle School, were Rue and Nick got off. The next was the High School. Angelica got off, saying bye to the bus driver, and with Mat and the others, headed to their classes. Mat and Jake had the same home room, and Angelica, Zake and Nate had the same home room.

As Ange listened to what the teacher said she drew a picture in her note book. When she finished, she looked at it and was shocked to realize, it was of the Scouts in Sailor form, Tuxedo Mask in his form, and her doing her pose, as Sailor Moon. The teacher came up behind her, and let out a small gasp as she saw the picture. She looked at Ange, noting there was tears in her eyes, and then back at the picture.

"Angelica this is absolutely amazing. I've never seen art done like this before." said softly as she continued to look at it. That was when she noticed how pale Angelica looked. "Angelica maybe you should go see the nurse, you look rather pale." said in a worried tone as she handed Ange's notebook back to her. Angelica nodded and gathered her stuff, and headed to the Nurse's Office, making a quick stop at the girl's bathroom so she wouldn't vomit all over the floor. When she reached the Nurse's Office, had already called Rose, the nurse. Rose insisted the students call her by her first name, no one knew why. Rose was always kind to students and when she saw Ange's pale face, she immediately looked at were she had ended up getting wet when she had washed her hands, and her eyes widened.

"Oh my Ange, have a seat please." She said, she knew every student's nicknames and it helped the students feel comfortable. Angelica did, and watched as Rose got her stereoscope, and had her breath in and out, but Angelica realized she was listening to something else. And the questions Rose asked next seemed to prof it. "Ange, how long have you been feeling strange?" She asked, then added to it. "And think back, take your time, alright?" She said, and Ange did, then she realized it hadn't been just the week she had thought, but three mouths, the only reason that she had only realized it during the last week she was in Japan, was because she hadn't had to fight yomas almost every other day causing her to think it was that and not something else.

"About three months why?" Ange asked worried, and then watched as Rose asked the next question. The next one startled her.

"When was the last time you had your period?" Rose asked, and suddenly Ange understood, and she knew the answer.

"Four months." Ange whispered in shock as she looked at Rose and asked."Dose this mean I'm...?" Angelica couldn't bring herself to say it, and Rose made her feel better by only nodding and sawing yes. Ange put her head in her hands. "What am I going to do? I won't put my child up for adoption, but babies need so much care. I also want to finish school, but how am I suppose to do that?" She was so confused, that she was grateful when Rose stepped in.

"Shh, Ange. Don't think about it right now. Just think about the fact your going to be a mother." She said quietly, softly, like a mother herself. Ange smiled at that. She knew who her child was, it was Rini. Angelica had been regretting that she would never be able to be the mother she wanted to be for Rini, but now she could be. She knew why her daughter had acted like a brat to her was because she had never felt like she had ever been loved, but now Angelica had the chance to show her just how much she loved her. Now she didn't regret leaving as much.

"A mother." Ange whispered to herself smiling. Then she put her hand to her only slightly swollen belly, wondering how she had missed the swelling, before looking at Rose again. She actually looked at her. 'Rose looks like Amy', Ange realized. The only difference was her hair length, while Amy's was short and navy cut, Rose's was long, wavy, and flowing. Ange also realized something else, deep in Rose's blue eyes, was a wisdom that seemed as old as the ice on Mercury. And that's when it hit her, Mercury. "Rose is part of the Moon Kingdom." Angelica suddenly said, and when she saw the look on Rose's face, she realized that Rose had heard her, then in a brilliant flash of silver and blue light, the sign of Mercury appeared on Rose's forehead, and once more memories can flooding back.

(Flashback)

Serenity was sitting in the garden that her mother had given her, that she had only told a few people about. She was sitting there because she was crying, she had just found out how sick her father was, and she knew it was her fault. She had let her hair and eyes stay their true colors, and her hair was down, so that if anyone but her family, or closets friends, came looking, no one would know it was her. Just then Serenity heard footsteps and looked up. It was Earth, but she had four other girls with her, each wearing cloths with a color from one of the four inner planets. When Earth curtsied to her, so did the others.

"Princess I wish for you to meet my guard." Earth said, a smile on her face as the first one, the girl in Mercury's color, stepped forward and curtsied again.

"Your Highness, I am Princess Zella of Mercury." She said smiling at her. "Lady Mercury of your guard, is my twin sister." She said smiling as Serenity gasped.

"Is this true? Why didn't Mercury tell me this?" She asked her, the girl sighed.

"It is because she dose not know. When we were three, our mother took me to Earth to visit a relatives who had moved there, and then I ended up living with them when my mother...died." She told the princess. And she was shocked when Serenity stood up, walked over to her, and gave her a bear hug. She accepted it, and then as tears spilled down her face, she whispered to Serenity, "Thank you."

(End of Flashback)

Angelica stood up, walked over to Rose, and gave her a bear hug again. Angelica could feel Rose's tears, as memories, forgotten for so long, once again were remembered. Angelica knew what she was feeling like, because she was still getting memories of the past back. And she understood it, because even with the happy memories, there was still sad ones. Plenty of sad ones. When Rose stopped crying, Angelica looked at her. And then she told her the truth.

"I'm so glad I remember you Zel." She whispered, using the nickname she had come up with. Rose, Zella, looked at her. "I've missed you with out knowing it, and I wish I knew where the others were, I can't stand the thought of you having to deal with everything on your own." Ange whispered. Rose squeezed her.

"I won't be Sere." She said smiling at the girl. "I have you, and I remember Nick, Earth, and the Guards." She said and once again Angelica hugged her.

"One day we'll find the others, each and everyone of them. But until that day comes we'll deal with the present, and hope for the future." Angelica whispered to Princess Zella of Mercury, and to Zella of the Earth Princess Royal Guard. But also to her friend. "One day." She promised.
