~~~Chapter Nine~~~
~~~Previous~~~
"Sorry for mistaking you for a Youma." Luna apologizes.
"That's okay," Ami-chan replies with a smile.
"But it's reassuring to have you as one of us. Right, Luna, Nee-chan, Lunetta?" Usagi questions happily.
"Definitely." The three of us say at the same time.
"Oh, thank you. Usagi-chan, Selena-chan, Lunetta-chan." Ami-chan says with a smile.
"Yes?" Usagi acknowledges.
"Once again, I'm glad to meet you. Let's work together, so we can beat the bad guys!" Ami-chan exclaims happily.
Ami-chan holds out her hand. Usagi places her hand inside hers. "Me too! I'm glad I met you!"
Lunetta and I nod in agreement and share a smile. Our family is getting bigger and is coming together once more. I couldn't help but think with a soft smile.
~~~Present~~~
~~~3rd POV~~~
~~~Unknown Location~~~
"What?! Did you say the third senshi showed up?" Queen Beryl demands.
"Yes." Jadeite replies.
"The nerve! Then all the more reason to hurry and collect energy for our ruler!" Queen Beryl comments.
Jadeite lowers his head slightly. "Queen Beryl, I have a great idea. Humans produce more energy when they are psychologically stressed. For example, when they are pressed for time. So, if we steal their time and cause them to rush about, we can efficiently collect their increased energy."
A smile appears on Queen Beryl's face. "Very well. Proceed with your plan."
"Yes, my lady." Jadeite agrees with a smirk.
~~~Selena's POV~~~
Usagi, Lunetta and I meet Ami-chan at the Harajuku Station after getting dressed. I am wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt. It has a striped pattern that is coloured light pink and light purple. My skirt is black with a light pink stripe near the bottom. Lastly, I am wearing light pink high heels.
Lunetta is wearing the same clothes as before but a different design. Her dress has bunnies on it. Ami-chan is wearing a blue dress, crème cardigan blue shoes and a blue bag.
Usagi runs off to the edge of the road. "While we are here, let's have as much fun as we can window-shopping!"
"Okay!" Ami-chan agrees.
Ami-chan and Usagi go one way while Lunetta and I go the other. They head inside a store filled with different sunglasses. Lunetta and I head towards a shop with cute plush toys. I was looking around when I sense Lunetta disappear from my side. I walk down an aisle and see her leaning down. She turns to look up at me with her usual smile. "Isn't it cute?" Lunetta questions happily as she holds up a plush toy of a unicorn.
It is light pink with small pink wings with a blue and yellow tip, pink hair, tails, hoofs and a pink horn with a blue tip. It is laying down with its eyes closed. "It is. I take it you want to buy some plushies?" I ask with a soft chuckle.
Lunetta nods her head happily as she runs off to get a basket before rushing back. She placing the two unicorn plushie inside before we continue to look around. Further down I see some cute rabbit plushies. "What about these?" I question Lunetta pointing at them.
One is a white rabbit with long floppy ears holding an orange carrot. The other is a pink rabbit with floppy ears which it is holding the left one with its paws. The last one is a white rabbit laying down with its ears in the air.
"Which one? All three are cute." I ponder looking back and forth.
Lunetta tilts her head to the side and places her finger on her lips. "I can't choose." Lunetta pouts before her face brightens. "How about all of them?"
"Yeah, it's an easy decision." I nod my head in agreement softly as Lunetta picks up two of each and place them inside the basket. We head down the next aisle to see Cat plushies. There are a few cat plushies but Lunetta is quick to point out which one she likes.
"What about that one?" Lunetta asks pointing at the big fat cat plushies. "I want the pink one."
"I'll take a white one. It looks like you can get a big one and a small-sized one." I state as I read the ticket attached to the big one. Lunetta picks up our choice and places them inside the basket which is getting full. "Any other preferences?" I question looking at her.
Lunetta grabs a hold of my hand and drags me behind her. "Pillows!" Lunetta exclaims happily causing me to chuckle but I allow her to continue to pull me along until we get to the back of the store.
There is a different range of shapes that are available but Lunetta drags me to where the hearts, stars and moon are placed. She points to two different places. "That one and that one over there," Lunetta says happily.
The first is heart pillows in every colour and the other is a set which is of a star that says sweet and a crescent moon saying night. Before I could say anything Lunetta points behind us. "That one too, for Crescent and Yue." She says cheerfully. She points at a cushion that is in the shape of a cat's head.
"That's fine. What colours do you want, Little Moon? You can pick first and you can pick mine if you wish. You know what I like by now." I state softly as a huge smile appears on her face as she skips off. She picks up one yellow heart for herself and a silver heart for me. She moves down and picks up a pink star and crescent moon for herself before picking up an emerald green set for me. She places them inside the basket before skipping behind me where she picks up a silver cat face cushion.
I let out a soft chuckle. "No more? Or should we go and pay?"
"We don't need no more for now. Later." Lunetta states with a dreamy smile before dragging me over to the cash machine. I chuckle softly but once again allow her to do so. I pay for our purchases and we both hold two bags each before heading outside.
I close my eyes briefly and sense that Usagi and Ami-chan inside a fashion store. We head that way and go inside to see the pair of them are modelling clothes. Usagi has a posh shirt with a white collar and black belt and skirt in front of her while Ami-chan has a turquoise long dress with long-sleeves in front of her.
Usagi is posing with one arm behind her head. Ami-chan is looking down at the outfit she is holding. "What do you think?" She asks.
"I like this one," Usagi says before the pair of them share a look and laugh.
I let out a soft chuckle getting their attention. "Nee-chan! Lunetta-chan! You finished?" Usagi questions with a large smile.
"Yes, we got some plushies and cushions." I nod my head softly. "Ami-chan, that outfit doesn't suit you, too frilly."
"You think so?" Ami-chan question looking back down at the dress.
I nod my head before looking around. My gaze lands on a certain outfit before looking back at Ami-chan. I look back at the outfit and take it off the rack and hold it in front of me. "This suit you more."
Ami-chan takes the outfit off me. "You think so?"
"Yes, it's cute and it matches your skin tone," I state looking down at the outfit. It is a blue strapless dress with light blue flowers and blue vines on it and a light blue cardigan. I look around for the matching shoes and I find a pair. "And these," I add picking up a pair of blue flats with a strap around the ankle. I nod my head. "I'll get you these as a gift, a welcome to the family."
"You don't have to…" Ami-chan stutters with a slight blush.
"Nee-chan chose me an outfit too," Usagi exclaims happily.
"Me too, Ane," Lunetta adds pulling on my arm with a pout.
"Of course, I was planning on getting all of us an outfit each anyway. Usagi, put that outfit back. It doesn't suit you. more cute outfits suit you more." I say softly causing Usagi to pout but she does put the outfit back.
"Let's see…" I trail off as I look around, trying to find an outfit that will suit Usagi. An outfit catches my eye and I take it off the rack. "This one…and these shoes and socks."
Usagi takes them and holds them in front of her. A pink top with short sleeves that has blue stripes, a blue hood with bunny ears which is blue on the inside but pink with blue stripes on the outside. A blue dress with buckles that go over the shoulder, blue and pink striped thigh socks and blue shoes with a buckle and small heel.
"Nee-chan, I love it," Usagi exclaims happily.
"I'm glad, now Little Moon. Let's see…this outfit…and these socks and shoes, I think." I ponder before taking them off the rack and handing them to her. A yellow striped dress with a white collar tied with a red bow, a turquoise cardigan with ruffles on the sleeves, yellow thigh socks with small hearts and brown shoes with a buckle and a small heel.
Lunetta tilts her head to the side. "I like it Ane. You need to get yourself a new outfit too. And Auntie needs a new apron in the same style and colour. " Lunetta says dreamily, a glazed look in her eyes before they clear.
I blink my eyes a couple of times before nodding my head in agreement. I search the racks and I easily find Mama's new apron before I search for my new outfit. I look out of the corner of my eye and find an outfit I like. I take it off the rack and look down at it.
It is a light pink t-shirt connected to a pink stretchy belt that is connected to a white skirt that has pink rose and leaf patterns. I pick up the matching shoes and they are a pink pair of dolly shoes that has a rose on top.
I nod my head in satisfaction before looking at the others. "Pass me your outfits back and I will go and pay for them." They do and I head to the counter to pay for them, but I ask for each outfit to be put in a separate bag. I head back to the girls and hand over their bag. Ami-chan and Usagi are carrying one bag each, Lunetta is carrying three while I am carrying four.
With that done we pop in other stores to look around before heading into a bookstore where we all go in different directions. Lunetta and I end up getting a lot of books on different topics. History, Cook Books, Science, Maths, Herbal, Healing, Medical, Animals, Star Observation, Meditation, Languages, and Gardening. I end up buying over 100 books and I get Lunetta the same books, though she was more interested in the animal books.
I go to the counter to pay and we end up with four bags each. When no one is looking I shrink three of the bags each and make the last of our bags to be extendable and weightless, allowing us to place the three shrunken bags inside.
"We sure have a lot of bags between us," I say with a soft chuckle.
Lunetta nods her head happily. "It has been a while since we were able to relax together."
"True. You have a point. Let's go find Usagi and Ami-chan. I think they are near the front." I agree before we move to find them.
Ami-chan is holding a thick book still looking at the different titles when we stop next to her. I hear footsteps behind me to see Usagi with a book in her arms. "Hey, did you find anything interesting?" Usagi asks.
"Yeah, lots," Ami-chan replies still looking at the titles.
Usagi looks down at the book Ami-chan is holding. "Ami-chan, what kind of books do you read?"
Ami-chan turns to look at Ami-chan. "Shall we show each other what we got?"
They trade books and open the pages. Usagi's eyes turn into swirls as she sticks her tongue out of her mouth. Ami-chan has her mouth open wide in shock. "It's all words!" Usagi exclaims.
"It's all comics!" Ami-chan exclaims surprised.
The four of us share a look before we let out a laugh. "Nee-chan, did you and Lunetta-chan get some books?" Usagi asks when we stop laughing. Ami-chan perks up interested.
I hold up my bag. "Yes, we got a range of different topics that look interesting."
"What topics?" Ami-chan questions, her shyness around me slowly disappearing.
I open the bag slightly and look inside. "Let's see...History, Cook Books, Science, Maths, Herbal, Healing, Medical, Animals, Star Observation, Meditation, Languages, and Gardening. I got Little Moon the same."
Both Usagi and Ami-chan blink their eyes in surprise. "That's a lot of books Nee-chan. But you do like reading so does Lunetta-chan."
"Do you read often?" Ami-chan questions.
"Yes, I do. Changing the subject, maybe we should get something to eat." I suggest. Luckily, there is a crepe stand not far from the bookstore, so we head there.
Usagi is quick to make her way there, leaning against the counter. "Let's see…I want a strawberry crepe." Usagi exclaims happily.
"I would like a vanilla crepe please," Ami-chan asks after looking at the menu.
"I would like a vanilla crepe, please. Little Moon, what flavour do you want?" I request before looking at Lunetta.
"I want chocolate!" Lunetta exclaims happily.
We get our crepes and begin eating them when we see a lot of people crowding around the Clock Look store across from us. They are noisy and are pushing against each other to get inside the store.
"What's going on? There are so many people." Usagi asks.
"I don't know," Ami-chan admits.
"Usagi, the sign above the store," I say softly causing them to follow my gaze.
"Big Spring Bargain huh?" Usagi reads out.
"Look at all those people!" Ami-chan observes.
"Fifty to seventy-per cent off! Oh, wow, that's so cheap! Wanna check it out?" Usagi questions amazed.
"I already have the watch I got from my okaa-san, so I'm okay." Ami-chan states.
"You should act more your age! It's free if we're just going to look. So, it'd be a waste if we don't." Usagi says before she takes a hold of Ami-chan's arm. Lunetta and I follow them with Lunetta holding onto my arm.
"Welcome." The store lady bows when we walk inside. She is wearing a red dress with straps that go around her neck with red high heels and a black choker around her neck. She has brown hair and grey eyes. "Please feel free to look around."
"Wow! They're so cheap!" Usagi exclaims as we look at some watches.
"Are watches usually this cheap?" Ami-chan queries.
"Nope, looks like this place is special. It's unbelievable!" Usagi once again exclaims in surprise.
While Ami-chan and Usagi look at one side of the room Lunetta and I look around the other. "Little Moon, do you feel the evil energy or is it just me?" I whisper.
"No, it not just you. I feel it too, but I can't pinpoint where it is coming from." Lunetta whispers back, her head tilted to the side.
"Yeah, same. We will have to mention this shop to Luna when we get back home." I add softly before catching up with Usagi and Ami-chan.
"Wow, it looks just like Luna!" Usagi exclaims in amazement.
In front of us is a black cat that does look like Luna to a degree, but it doesn't have the crescent moon or eye that aren't as narrow. "True, you just need a crescent moon and less narrowed eyes and it would look like her. Nearly the spitting image though." I add looking at the clock letting out a soft chuckle.
"Maybe I'll buy this one. After all, I'm always late for school." Usagi admits sheepishly.
I hear footsteps behind us at the same time a presence appears behind us. "How do you like it? It's a nice bargain." The store lady states as she glances at Usagi.
"I know. It's so cheap." Usagi agrees as she opens her wallet. Her eyes widen as she doesn't have much left. Usagi eyes well up with tears as she places her fists near her chin. "It may be cheap, but my wallet still can't take it! And if I'm late to school one more time, I'll break my own record!"
"Usagi-chan, if you want, I'll come and get you every morning. So, please don't cry." Ami-chan offers.
"I get up early every morning Usagi. So, I'll make sure you are up in time for Ami-chan in the morning." I add with a soft smile.
Usagi lunges forward, grabs a hold of Ami-chan let arm and my right arm. "Yippe! Ami-chan, Nee-chan, I love you!"
Ami-chan freezes in place with a blush on her face but she doesn't push Usagi away. I let out a soft chuckle. "I love you too, Usagi."
~~~At Home~~~
"We're home!" We all say at the same time.
"Hi, Usagi, Selena, Lunetta. I got you something nice today." Mama says as Papa puts a clock on the wall.
"Wow talk about rare! So, what did you get for me?" Usagi asks happily.
"Here. I went shopping with Naru and Umino's Okaa-san's today." She passes a box to Usagi and me.
Usagi slowly opens her box. "Clock Look. So, you went there too."
"The clock store we stopped by was having an incredible sale. Umino's okaa-san brought seven clocks!" Mama offers softly.
Usagi opens her box. "Oh! This is…" She has the cat clock. I open mine and Lunetta's to find a crescent moon clock.
"Isn't it nice? I just remembered that you are always late for school. Am I nice?" Mama says with her left eye closed and making a peace sign with her right hand.
"Thank you!" Usagi, Lunetta and I say at the same time. Usagi and Lunetta head upstairs while I stay downstairs briefly.
"Mama, here a present. I already got Little Moon, Usagi, Ami-chan and myself something." I say softly as I hand her the bag.
"For me? You didn't have to Selena." Mama says surprised before she opens the bag and takes the apron out. "Oh, another apron! How did you know I needed another one? There is a hole in the pocket in the one I am wearing."
"Little Moon suggested that you needed another one, so I got you another." I offer softly.
"Ahh, Lunetta-chan always seems to know when we need something doesn't she?" Mama questions with a small smile.
"Yes, she always does." I agree with a smile.
~~~Usagi's Room~~~
Due to the evil energy from the store where this clock came from, Lunetta and I decide to put in on the shelves but not put in any batteries, so it doesn't work and affect us.
We then head to Usagi's room to see Luna complaining. "Usagi, which part of this clock looks like me? Look very carefully! I'm better looking than that clock."
I let out a chuckle. "True it needs a crescent moon and less narrow eyes to be identical, but you must admit it does look similar to you, Luna." I point out while Luna glares at the clock.
Usagi finishes setting the clock up and places it on her table. "Yeah, yeah…You're right. Since Ami-chan will be here tomorrow, I don't need to worry about being late."
Usagi gets into her bed so Lunetta and I go back to our room. We change into our pyjamas. I am wearing a pink silk nightie and Lunetta is wearing a panda onesie. We are soon to fall asleep.
~~~3rd POV~~~
In the middle of the night, Usagi's new clock glows before shining down on her. Luna abruptly lifts her head and looks in both directions before getting up and peeking her head over Usagi's bed.
In their parent's room, their clock is doing the exact same thing and is shining down on them.
Luna jumps fully on Usagi's bed and glares at the clock. "I wonder if this is…"
~~~Next Morning~~~
~~~Selena's POV~~~
I wake up at half six and get ready. I head to Usagi's room to see that she wasn't there. I head to Shingo's room just to see the same. How weird. Neither of them is awake this early normally. Unless those clocks from yesterday caused this. I think thoughtfully.
At seven Ami-chan rings the doorbell looking for Usagi but of course, she had already left. Mama opens the door as Lunetta, and I get at the bottom of the stairs. "Yes! Oh, Mizuno-san!"
"Is Usagi-chan still asleep?" Ami-chan questions.
"No. She already left." Mama replies.
"What?! Already?! It's only 7 o'clock." Ami-chan exclaims surprised.
Mama looks around and plays with her fingers. "Are you kidding? Her otouto, Shingo, left home before 7. You need to hurry. Otherwise, you will be late."
Papa runs out the door, toast in his mouth. "Oh, I'm late! Then, see you tonight!"
Mama waves with a smile on her face. "Okay, see you later!" She lowers her hand with a sigh and checks off things with her fingers. "Now, I have to vacuum the rooms and do the laundry. Oh, no! It's almost time for dinner!" She closes the front door behind her as she rushing back inside.
The three of us share a look before heading to school. "I woke up early this morning and neither Usagi and Shingo was in their rooms not to mention Mama and Papa seem to be rushing about," I state softly.
"Really?" Ami-chan questions.
"Yeah." I agree softly.
~~~3rd POV~~~
Students are rushing in their school, panicking about being late. "Oh! I'm late!"
Inside Selena and Lunetta's classroom, there are only a few people sitting in their seats. Ms Haruna is pacing in the front of the class looking down at her watch. "They're late!"
Naru abruptly stands up, banging her hands on her desk. "I can't wait anymore! I'll go out there and get everybody!"
Usagi stands up holding her bento. "Me, too! I can't stay here like this anymore!"
Umino stands up after them. "Then, me too! Somehow, I can't stay still!"
Ms Haruna bangs her hand on her desk with her eyes closed annoyed. "That's enough! You can study by yourself today!" She picks up her books. "I have no other choice." She bangs them on her desk. "It's already 8, and most students haven't even shown up yet." She opens her eyes with a smile on her face. "Anyway, I have four dates today. So, I cannot stay here like this. I'm sorry." She walks out of the classroom.
Usagi ties up her bento. "Then, me, too! Once I finish eating my bento, I have nothing left to do."
Umino moves behind Usagi and Naru. "That's right! In the old days, they used to say, 'Fall in love, life is short!'"
They both turn to look at him. "You are so wrong!"
Naru stands up, bag in her hand. "Anyway, we shouldn't waste our time like this!"
Usagi stands up again. "You're right! Let's go home!" Usagi agrees.
The other students agree, and they all make their way out of their classroom.
~~~Selena's POV~~~
We walk along the streets to see cars piled up behind each other, people rushing about and shops opening. Ami-chan looks around confused. "Why are the shops opening so early?"
"It's just like Usagi and the others. Everyone is rushing around as if they are late even though it is still early." I offer looking around with Lunetta who nods her head in agreement.
I hear soft footsteps rushing towards us. "Ami-chan! Selena-chan! Lunette-chan!" I hear Luna call out to us. We all turn to see Luna rushing up to us with Usagi's new cat clock attached to her back. She runs up to us before coming to a halt. "I'm glad I found you. I don't know what is going on, but Usagi-chan left home early today."
"You, too. Why are you in such a hurry?" Ami asks.
Luna points her paw at the clock. "I think something is wrong with this clock. Ami-chan, can you check this?"
We all head to the park after sharing a glance filled with suspicion.
~~~At the Park~~~
Ami-chan has the clock in her lap. "I don't know. Anyway. Let's open this and see…"
"Oh, yeah…" Luna says before she does a flip. A new item. One for Ami-chan.
"What is this?" Ami-chan questions.
"To put it simply, it's a compact supercomputer. It's really useful for analysing and calculating things." Luna states.
"Are you sure I can have this?" Ami-chan asks hesitantly.
"Of course! Usagi-chan would never figure out how to use it, but I know you'll be able to use it easily!" Luna states with a sigh.
"Besides, it has the symbol of Mercury on it, making it yours in the first place," I add softly.
"Thank you, Luna," Ami-chan says softly.
"Anyway, can you hurry and check the clock?" Luna asks.
"Oh, yeah." Ami-chan agrees before she takes off the back. A ball of light flies out. "What was that?"
"Ami-chan, Selena-chan, Lunetta-chan, Look!" Luna calls out.
We look. There is nothing inside. "It's empty?" Ami-chan states surprised.
"I thought so. This is no ordinary clock. The weird way people are acting must have something to do with that Clock Look." Luna states.
"Not to mention, both Little Moon and I have been sensing a weird presence from the clocks inside Clock Look yesterday. I forgot to mention it to you yesterday Luna." I offer, people still rushing around.
"The store lady had a weird presence too," Lunetta adds with a smile as she holds onto my arm.
~~~3rd POV~~~
The cars don't stop when the traffic lights come on causing cars to crash into each other and pile up. A man opens the door of his car and gets out. He is jumping about and has one of his fingers held up with blood on it. "Oh, no! I'm hurt! I need to rush to the hospital!"
Another man sitting on the floor, in front of his red car. "Oh, I'm in trouble! My plane already left!" He stands up and starts jogging in place. "Now, I have no choice, I'm going to run to Paris!" He runs in the other direction.
Energy is drained of the people the more they rush about.
Jadeite laughs. Stupid humans, rushing to your deaths. The more you hurry, the more energy you produce. Jadeite holds out his hand and a small ball of energy hovers above it. Once I collect all the energy created by your impatience, our great rule is certain to be very satisfied.
~~~Unknown Location~~~
The woman from clock lock is standing in front of a big clock. She lets out a soft chuckle. "All the energy collected by my clocks will be gathered in this gigantic clock no matter where they are."
The area around her go dark and her appearance changes to pale skin, purple hair, red lines running down her cheeks and a black star on her left cheek.
Jadeite appears behind her. "You certainly know how to manipulate time, Ramua. Your magical power really paralyzed their sense of time."
She turns around to look at him. "Thank you for your kind words."
"Now, I leave everything to you. there is a possibility that they will appear because of the commotion. So, be careful." Jadeite warns.
"Yes, sir. You can count on me." She comments as Jadeite disappears from view.
~~~In the Traffic~~~
Usagi is on the bus, jogging on the stop as the bus get stuck behind the rest of the traffic on the roads. "Oh, it's slow, it's so slow!"
"It's too slow! Why us this bus so darn slow?!" A male demand.
The bus driver turns his head to looks at them. "Please be quiet! You're not the only one getting impatient!"
"Then, do something! Remember?! You're the one driving!" Usagi points out before letting out a shout as she falls forward. She bangs her head in front of her. She lifts her head to show a small bump. "Ouch! What's going on?!"
"If I can't go left, I'll go to the right!" The bus driver states as he drives out of control. Usagi lets out a shout as he swerves around a car. "I've been doing this for ten years! I'm a genius, out of my way."
Someone presses the stop button and people are waiting at the bus stop, but the bus doesn't stop and carries on driving. A woman gets up and stands behind the driver. "Excuse me! I need to get off! Please stop the bus!"
"Unfortunately, I've decided that this bus will run express today! So, don't expect me to stop until the last stop!" The bus driver states with a large smirk.
"What?" Usagi exclaims.
The woman reaches forward and wraps her hands around the bus drivers throat. "Just stop the bus!" She demands.
Usagi waves her hands out at her sides in surprise.
~~~Selena's POV~~~
We leave the park and look for a free phone box as most of them we have gone past have people inside. Ami-chan goes inside and rings the school. She holds the phone up to her ear but there is no sound. Ami-chan leaves the phone box, her fists near his chin. "It's weird. Nobody at school answered the phone."
"Maybe, whatever is affecting everyone else is affecting the school as well. They all must be rushing around too." I offer looking around as the cars are still pilling up behind each other.
"Where did Usagi-chan go?!" Luna asks.
"She may have gone to school as today is a school day," I suggest.
"True but what shall we do?" Ami-chan questions. "I'm not comfortable doing this all by ourselves," Ami-chan admits.
"I know." Luna agrees. "I guess we have no choice but the find Usagi-chan."
We hear a loud crash. We look to see that the bus has crashed into a pole. One by one the people get off until Usagi herself gets off. "What were you thinking? You should know I'm too busy for this!"
Ami-chan moves forward. "Oh, Usagi-chan!"
Usagi turns to look at us. "Oh, Ami-chan! Nee-chan! Lunetta-chan! Luna!"
~~~Outside Clock Look~~~
We go to Clock Look. Usagi stands in front of the doors. "So, this is the Youma's hideout!"
Luna appears at Usagi's side. "Wait, Usagi-chan!" She drags Usagi away to where we were hiding. "If you act like this, they'll notice us!"
"How can you stay so calm?! You think that the clock store is behind this, right? Then, we should just charge in already!" Usagi says speaking fast.
"Usagi, you're completely under the spell of the Youma," Luna says.
Usagi isn't listening to Luna complain. "I have so many things to do today! Go home early, eat snacks and finish the rest of my game. Then, take a bath…Oh, I didn't know it's so late already!"
"Okay, I got it. I'll figure out a way to get in. So, just wait a minute. Right, Ami-chan?" Luna says sweatdropping.
Ami-chan looks up. "We could try to get in from the back, but the enemy could already be waiting for us."
Usagi shakes her arms in the air. "Then, through the front! The front! It doesn't matter which way we go if it's going to be a trap anyway! Now, Ami-chan, Nee-chan, let's transform quickly."
"What? Already?" Luna asks surprised.
"Moon Prism Power Makeup!" She transforms quickly. "You, too. Ami-chan! Nee-chan! Hurry! Thinking isn't going to get us anywhere."
Ami-chan agrees. "Okay. I know they say, 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained'"
"Not you too, Ami-chan…" Luna trails off in disbelief as I let out a soft chuckle along with Lunetta who lets out a giggle.
"Mercury Power Makeup!" Ami-chan calls out.
I guess I might as well. When I had finished transforming Ami-chan and Usagi rush forward with me following behind. "Okay, let's go!" Usagi shouts.
"Oh, wait for me!" Luna calls. Luna runs up to us.
"Now, Moon Tiara Action!" Usagi calls out.
A hole is created in the front which only Usagi and Ami-chan gets through before it closes. Luna bangs into the wall, leaving marks on her face.
I pick Luna up. "Are you okay, Luna?"
"Yeah, I'm so unlucky…" Luna says softly, tears in her eyes.
"Now, we are going to need to find another way inside," I suggest.
~~~3rd POV~~~
Usagi and Ami continue running forward not noticing that Selena wasn't with them. "Sailor Moon! That door!" Ami calls out.
"Yeah!" Usagi agrees.
They make it to the door and throw it open. The woman from clock lock turns to looks at them. "Who's there?!" She demands.
"For Love and Justice, the pretty sailor suited senshi, Sailor Moon!" Usagi calls out.
"Likewise, Sailor Mercury!" Ami calls out.
"We're here to fight you!" They both finish together.
The woman turns fully to look at them, a look of amusement on her face. "Well, well, I'm impressed. I never expected you to show up so early."
"I cannot forgive anyone who toys with a girl's precious time! Even the cuckoo in the cuckoo clock is mad! In the name of the moon, I will punish you!" Usagi comments.
The woman narrows her eyes and lets out a scoff before her appearance changes into what she was looking like earlier. "You're nothing! I'll show you that this is where you're going to die!" She holds her arms out above her and the large clock's time speed forward. The clock glows as the chime goes off. "Now, come and get me, Sailor Moon!" The Youma taunts as she moves into a portal.
"You're not getting away!" Usagi comments.
"Oh, Sailor Moon!" Ami calls out worriedly.
"Are you ready, Mercury?" Usagi questions.
"Yes!" Ami agrees as they run through the clock. As soon as they do the portal disappears and the clock goes back to normal.
~~~Selena's POV~~~
We look around and we find another entrance around the side of the building that was unlocked. We go inside but all we see is a large clock but no Ami-chan or Usagi. Due to being focused on the clock none of us notices that Tuxedo Mask had entered the building and was watching from the side.
~~~3rd POV~~~
Usagi and Ami make to the other end of the portal and walk inside. The area they are in is a mixture of green and black with clocks everywhere.
"Where did she go?" Usagi questions as she looks around.
"Be careful, Sailor Moon!" Ami warns. "The Youma has probably set a trap somewhere."
Usagi clenches her fists before lowering them. "I'm getting irritated. You coward! It's cheap not to show yourself!"
The Youma chuckles. "I'm waiting right here. Why don't you come?"
"You don't have to tell me that, I'll be right there!" Usagi shouts annoyed.
Ami holds her arm out worried as Usagi walks forward. "Oh, wait! It's dangerous to just walk around blindly." She presses her earring and her goggles appear on her face.
"Mercury, just follow me!" Usagi comments as Ami runs to catch up with her.
"Sailor Moon!" Ami calls out.
Usagi kicks the door open in front of her. "Not here!" She comments as she looks around.
"Sailor Moon, if you just walk around without thinking, we'll get lost!" Ami warns.
Usagi looks at her with a smile on her face and hands on her hips. "Don't worry! Because I've got you, Mercury!"
Ami lets out a sigh before opening her minicomputer. She types into it while looking in front of her briefly before looking back at the screen.
Usagi turns around surprised. "Hey, what's that?"
"It's a computer. Luna gave it to me just a while ago." Ami admits.
"That looks awesome!" Usagi praises as she walks forward.
"What's wrong? Are you still there?" The Youma taunts.
Usagi holds up her arm, her fist clenched. "Shut up! I'll be there soon. So, you just wait!" Ami looks up and lets out a gasp as Usagi shrinks as she continues talking. "Remember? You're the one that's cheating here!"
"Oh, no!" Ami says worriedly. She reaches forward and grabs hold of Usagi. "Sailor Moon, this way!"
As soon as Usagi is standing next to Ami, she grows back to her normal size. Usagi lets out a sigh. "Oh, that was scary."
Ami opens her computer again. "It seems like time here can go faster or slower. And sometimes, it goes backwards. It's really unstable."
"Then, there could be a room where we become grannies?" Usagi questions.
"Yes…" Ami agrees.
An image of her older and holding a walking cane appears in Usagi's mind causing her to shiver and sweatdrop. "No way! Have you found something yet?"
"Just a minute…" Ami trails off as she continues to type away. "Just as I expected," Ami says as her goggles disappear.
"Found something?" Usagi queries happily.
"It seems like this maze is set up in a certain way…" Ami comments.
"Then, where is she?" Usagi asks.
"There's a 78% probability she's this way." Ami points in front of them before lowering her arm. "Let's go!"
"Okay!" Usagi agrees before the two of them run forward.
The Youma chuckles as the pair of them come into view. "Nice job. You finally found where I am. But this is the end! I hope you are ready."
"You're the one who should get ready!" Usagi shouts as she runs forward. She only manages to take a few steps before she lets out a gasp and falls to her knees. "Oh? I can't stand up. Why not?"
The Youma laughs loudly. "Finally, it's starting to work. Your energy has been sucked away by my clock."
Usagi eyes widen. "What?!"
"Her energy?" Ami question surprised.
The Youma slashes forward with her spear and a cut appears on Usagi's right cheek. She reaches up with her hand. "It hurts!" Usagi cries.
"Sailor Moon!" Ami calls out worriedly.
The Youma turns to look at her. "You're in my way!" She jumps back before holding out her hand. Energy appears in her hand and a beam is sent towards Ami.
Ami lets out a sound of surprise before her body gets frozen in place. I can't move…
The Youma chuckles. "I just stopped your time. So, enjoy watching Sailor Moon suffer." She lifts her spear and moves it towards Usagi laughing. Luckily, Usagi dodges out of the way each time.
~~~Selena's POV~~~
I feel that Usagi is in trouble. The clock. But how do I get them out? Before I could think of a way a rose embeds in the big clock causing it to crack. I look for Tuxedo Mask, but he isn't there, so I pick up the rose and place it in my pocket space until I get home.
~~~3rd POV~~~
A ball of energy appears in front of the Youma. She looks down with widening eyes.
Energy returns back to Usagi. "Oh! I got my power back!"
The Youma drops her spear and covers her chest with her arms. "Oh, no! My energy!"
Ami's arms drop. "Now, I can move! Bubble Spray!" Ami calls out.
Fog fills the room. "Darn it! Where did you go?!" The Youma curses.
Ami runs over to Usagi. "Are you alright, Sailor Moon?"
Usagi looks up at her with a smile. "Thank you. I'm okay now."
"She's over there," Ami comments as she points in front of her.
"Okay! Moon Tiara Action!" Usagi calls out.
~~~Selena's POV~~~
I sense Usagi using her Moon Tiara, but it only freezes the Youma in place. What should I do? I can't use the Moon Slash from here. I think worried.
Light peeks from the window and I turn to see the moon. I close my eyes as the moonlight shines down on me. Wait…this is… My arm warms up and I turn to see my silver crystal on my arm cuff begins to glow. My cuff begins to glow in response, and it is transferred onto my wrist as a bracelet.
My wrists move by themselves and they cross in front of me, the silver crystal resting on top. "Silver Moonlight Slash!" I call out as I fling my arms out in front of me. A slash of silver light is released that goes through the clock straight towards the youma who I sense turns into dust.
With the Youma destroyed Ami-chan and Usagi appear in front of us. "Oh! Usagi-chan! Ami-chan!" Luna exclaims happily.
"My Tiara doesn't destroy the youma's anymore," Usagi says pouting before her eyes widen and she turns to look at me. "Nee-chan, was that your new attack?"
"Yes, it looks like it. Silver Moonlight Slash. It can destroy the youma's while your tiara now can only freeze them in place." I offer softly.
We walk away from Clock Look. "This time, I'm really exhausted. I don't want to get stressed out anymore!"
"I know!" Ami-chan, Lunetta and I agree.
"Usagi! Big news!" Naru-chan calls out. "A cake shop is doing a speed-eating contest!"
"Really?" Usagi exclaims happily.
"Let's go! Hurry!" Naru-chan says with a large smile.
Naru-chan and Usagi run off just for Usagi to trip and fall on her bottom. "It hurts!" Usagi cries.
"I don't think her personality will ever change!" Luna states winking.
"I suppose." Ami-chan agrees.
"She wouldn't be Usagi if she did change," I add with a soft smile.
"True." Lunetta, Ami-chan and Luna agrees.
Usagi just continues to wail. Yep, she wouldn't be Usagi if she didn't act the way she does. I think with a fond smile.
