Lauren and Serena walked into the arcade and moved to where the group sat. "Hey everyone, this is Lauren," Serena said, pulling Lauren up beside her.

"Oh, you're the one that we keep mistaking for Kisha," Mina said. "So sorry, I'm Mina."

"I'm Lita and that's Rei, Ami, Rini over at the game and Darien," Lita supplied, pointing at each in turn.

"It's nice to officially meet all of you," Lauren replied with a smile.

"You look just like Kisha and you look like Darien too," Rini said, coming up to stand in front of Lauren with her hands on her hips. "Who are you?"

"I'm an only child with no living family," Lauren stated.

"If you say so," Rini muttered, moving up onto the seat.

Lauren looked over at Darien, "We do look like we could be related. It has to be the dark hair and the eyes," she supplied.

"I suppose so." Darien said with a shrug. Her deep, husky voice really got to him. It was the exact opposite of Kisha's and yet, it was also really familiar.

Rei stared at the girl that Serena had just introduced to them. Just like Kisha, this one had a strong energy to her. They were different though, very different. This one had a strange and peaceful aura.

"Do you cook, Lauren?" Lita asked, trying to keep conversation flowing.

"Oh, no," she answered," I just grow plants."

"That sounds fun," Ami said," what type of plants?"

"Flowers, trees, various types of grass even."

"Do you sing?" Rini asked, out of nowhere.

"I do, but it's not what I wanted my life to be about," Lauren answered. "I've always dreamed of helping Mother Nature and the Earth in any way I could. Botany is something that makes me feel that I'm making a difference and preserving something special."

"Why did you give me a yellow rose the other day?" Rini continued to push.

"I believe that roses have healing properties, they're good for the soul. Oh and the yellow rose is the rose of friendship, it seemed perfect at the time." Lauren smiled and Rini smiled back at her. Maybe she isn't so bad, Rini thought, maybe I was wrong and it is Lauren not Kisha. I only met her once, afterall.

Just then Amara, Michelle and Kisha walked through the door.

************

After finishing in the garden, Amara and Michelle had decided that they needed to make sure that things were patched up with Kisha and the sailor scouts. She had told them the story about meeting Serena and the picnic. When she mentioned passing out, the two lovers shared a look. They knew that she was physically sound and they knew that there was something about her that they were supposed to watch for. What they didn't know was whether Kisha was supposed to mean harm or help to the scouts. Pluto had warned about the song of the Earth and after she heard the words of the song that Kisha had sung, she gave them another warning. The song of the Earth was a key to the final battle of the Earth. Those words of doom were enough to make the two scouts worry, a lot.

Anyway, something was up with Kisha. Michelle knew that she had seen her at the Gardens with the flowers. The question was, why was she lying? Did she not remember? Was it like her night of sleepwalking?

With those questions in mind, the three girls headed out for the arcade. They knew that the scouts liked to meet there after school.

*****************

"Oh my god, it's like looking in a mirror," Lauren stated, with a hand to her heart.

"What in the hell?" Kisha responded.

"Kisha, Lauren.. Lauren, Kisha.. " Lita supplied.

"I guess she wasn't lying," Michelle whispered to Amara.

All of a sudden, the scouts communicators all lit up. Each of them reached for their communicator and shoved it out of sight, except for Serena who crouched down and opened hers.

"Serena!" Luna said. "Get the scouts together and meet us at the temple immediately."

"Will do, Luna," Serena whispered. She looked around the table as Lauren and Kisha were still distracted. "Girls, we need to go. Temple."

The scouts all nodded in response and got up to leave.

"Uh, left grandpa alone doing really hard work. I better get back to him," Rei said quickly, bolting out of the door.

"Oh, I left a turkey in the oven. Haha, don't want it to burn the house down," Lita shouted, bounding out behind Rei.

"I better help Lita get that turkey basted," Mina shouted over her shoulder with a wave.

"There's a huge test in organic chemistry tomorrow, I have to get back to studying," Amy said with a smile.

"Huge sale, donuts, down the street. Catch you all later!" Serena squawked, tripping her way out of the arcade.

"Guess we're stuck with this mess, huh?" Rini sighed, looking over at Darien.

"I guess so," Darien responded, shaking his head in despair.
