Chapter 10: The Voice and the Handkerchief

Molly walked home by herself. She knew she ditched Melvin and felt terrible about it. But it was too hard for her now that Nephrite was alive again. How could that be? And Serena had been Sailor Moon all along and didn't tell her? She couldn't really blame Serena for that part. What did Nephrite mean that he was a different person? What did that other one say about being paired with the Sailor Scouts? She found that she had walked to the open area of the park, not too far from where Nephrite had originally died. And that Zoicite was with them and acted like nothing was wrong? Like that evil lady didn't kill him? How was all of this happening?

"Molly?"

"Who is it? I want to be alone right now." She sat on a bench head looking down, not even looking up to address the person.

"It's me Molly, Nephrite."

She looked back and stared at him. It was! It was Maxfield Stanton…or Nephrite as he told her before. He did look different. He didn't wear clothes that were common to everyday people; he wore more of a suit, buttoned on the side and a cape. Like he had come from a different era of time maybe.

"I can't believe it's really you." She said aloud before she could stop herself.

"Molly you have to realize things changed. I never meant to leave you that day."

"But that evil lady the one that killed you!" She said accusingly.

His eyes widened. "That's what I have to talk to you about Molly. We were all working against Sailor Moon back then. We were brainwashed. Zoicite didn't know what she was doing. We've been reborn again. Before you and I ever were Molly, I was with Sailor Jupiter. Back when the Moon Kingdom thrived. I remember that now. Sailor Moon helped me remember my past."

"So you're saying you never loved me?" She said gloomily.

"No Molly it's not that at all. I was meant to be with someone else before I was even born to this world. I saw that other boy with you. Ever since you ran off he never stopped looking for you."

"Who Melvin?" She said it like she was questioning that it was even him.

"He cares for you Molly. I'm not going anywhere now. We can still be friends. You had to continue living your life after me; I can't blame you for that. Forgive Zoicite; she's seen her old ways were evil. I have forgiven her; I just hope you can forgive me."

She couldn't hold them back. "Of course I can." She ran to him and fit her arms around his chest, burying her head in his jacket. He looked down at the crying girl and smiled.

"Molly! Molly where are you?"

She recognized the voice. It was Melvin.

"Molly," He grabbed her by her shoulders and pulled her off of him, and smiled. "He needs you." She nodded and quickly ran away to the voice coming from the edge of the woods.

"Molly, were you crying?" Melvin asked looking at the red-haired girl who had ran up to him, adjusting his glasses. He pulled out a handkerchief for her to used.

"Of course it is Melvin." She took it and wiped her eyes. She looked down at it. It was orange. She smiled. "Oh Melvin!" She then hugged the boy, who was clueless of what had just happened. While she was hugging him, something occurred to her. She had recognized Melvin's voice instantly, but couldn't do the same with Nephrite…maybe…just maybe that meant something.

I hate to be a nag-er but my other story about Princess Malaena is only got one reviewer...seriously its a good story i promise. If you read Truth about the Past, it will show some of those scenes through her perspective too. This story will be better if you read it too, because the ending will make more sense...again...I don't want to have to delete it...but if nobody else reads it i will have too.

ps. Hope im not being too much of a downer. I also hope you like this story. I will update as often as possible...and answer as many un-answered questions as possible as i go along. :)
