ETERNITY BREAKS
AN: It has been brought to my attention that I should focus more on what's going on between the cats, Ami, and then Folken. Since I just tend to make all this up as I go. . .(says a lot about me, doesn't it) we'll see if I even get there in this chapter!

Chapter Twelve: The Return of Bob!
Ami came to about noon the next day. As with most parents, Dr. Mizuno was really worried about Ami and as soon as Ami checked out about three o' clock after a little check up, she jumped all over her daughter about where she had been and who those weird people were with her, all the standard questions most parents ask their kids.
For at least the second time in this story, I think, Ami was stumped. How could she answer? Tell the truth and risk being put in some kind of mental ward or make up something that will get her grounded until she was eighty-three! Decisions, decisions. She went for the next best thing and just said that she's too overwhelmed from the hospital experience to answer. On the bright side Ami found out the other Senshi have been released two days before. None of them were in the mood for a visit at the moment, so Ami just called them up and asked all those usual cliche lines that people say on the phone.
Back at Hitomi's place, she had gotten grounded for basically not being any more careful than she was supposed to. Having dealt with her previous experience of leaving without saying anything had lead them to believe she really did go to another planet. Especially with Van, Folken and the cats as proof of it for the second disappearance.
Later that day, Hitomi was babysitting her little brother and to add insult to injury, had to watch Pokemon with him.
"This is so strange." The Gaean's were transfixed on the TV, Hitomi was trying not to fall asleep due to the stupidity of the show.
"If you can believe, Van, that there are TV show's actually better than this." Hitomi commented, her younger brother was use to his sister hating Pokemon, but he had a fun time dragging her out of bed at six in the morning just to watch it with him. Hitomi always complained about it, but her parents always said to be nice to her littler brother, so there was no way out of it. If she wasn't nice to him, she was grounded. If she was grounded she had to be nice to him anyway. It went hand in hand. There was no escape!
Van was fascinated by the things in there house. What interested him the most was the refrigerator. It amazed him how fresh food could stay if it was stuck in there. Mrs. Kanzaki didn't mind that Van was so fascinated by the kitchen machinery. Whenever she was cooking something she'd ask Van to get a particular item and he'd be happy to do it. If it was Hitomi or her brother, she'd have to start WW III just to get them up. The special case was with Hitomi, when she was grounded she'd do anything to avoid having to watch him.
Folken seemed to be very interested in the family mini van. He proposed an idea to cloak it at one point, but Hitomi came up with a long list of cons and why cars weren't really meant to be machines of destruction.
As for the cats, well, they were good! Ami wasn't around which made them feel safe. . . about Folken that is. Although they hadn't acted much against the blue-haired girl earlier, it wasn't until that final fight that Folken really had a look of interest in his eyes other than just making sure she was safe.
What confused them most was that Hitomi was so preoccupied with school it seemed that she was in a royal line working hard not to screw things up when she became her countries leader. Try explaining mandatory school for every person to people who have heard of no such thing! On Gaea, only people of great importance or a lot of money went to school.
(AN: Whether there's truth in this or not, Gaea is like looking into middevil Europe, except with giant robots of mass destruction. Anyhoo, the rich, nobles, and royals were the only ones allowed to attend school as they could afford it. In the late 1700s when the U.S. government discovered that educated people would better fit for the country, just so they wouldn't be stupid and lose their rights, they put in a public school system and it started from there. School's have improved much within the last few hundred years.)
Ami was working on finishing her homework, as usual. Things seemed to have returned to normal. She hadn't heard from Hitomi since the hospital incident and wondered if Folken had returned home.
During lunch Ami was trying to finish a reading assignment when Usagi came wailing into her day. Makoto and Minako of course were worried about whatever.
"Luna's missing!" She cried. "She hasn't come back since that night Ami disappeared!!"
It was then Ami did wonder what happened to Luna. If she was still alive. Poor kitty witty! (That's what I think every time I see a dead cat in the road.) She decided then and there that she would have to go by Hitomi's and find out what happened. If she was really psychic and could do that dowsing thing like Van tended to mention now and then, then Luna could be found. She would do it after school today! Right after homework and a good excuse for why she was in the hospital!
She found her address in the phone book. One would assume that Ami would have known where she lived already due to the whole study-buddy program, but no. Hitomi was the one making the trips to Ami's place, until that wonderfully fateful disaster.
She ended up having to take the metro to her home. She had written down the address so she could follow her way through the many houses. It was an hour after dark when she finally reached the street. The street lights were on and now and then she'd have to stay in the protective glow to see if she was nearing the right house.
She looked at the paper, then looked at the house next door to the one she was in front of. She had come to the right place, now it was simply a matter of courage of going up and asking if Hitomi was even there.
Fortunately for Hitomi, her parents were having a night out and her brother was at a friends house for the night. She was in the kitchen doing the dishes.
Earlier that evening Van had asked Mrs. Kanzaki why she had come down so hard on Hitomi. For a second there, Van thought Hitomi wasn't really loved at all. She explained that she loved Hitomi very much and that was the reason why she was grounded in the first place. Van was probably as confused as Hitomi. If her mother was really so happy that Hitomi was back all right, then why ground her? Apparently the punishment was for scaring her mother. Van could sympathize, she was only grounded for the week anyway.
There was an odd ringing through the house. Hitomi stopped cleaning and went to the door.
"Ami! What are you doing here?" Hitomi was a bit surprised, but happy to see her friend.
"I'm hoping I can find what I'm looking for." She said. Ami had come there in a good enough mood, but if looks could kill! She had grown dead serious for Luna. She hadn't seen or heard anything from Setsuna regarding Chibi Usa either.
"And that would be . . ?"
"I'm trying to find Luna. Her owner is worried sick and I was wondering if Van and everyone went back to Gaea before. . ." She stopped as soon as Van came to the door. "Oh ok . . ." She had no idea of what to say next. The whole Van coming to the door thing changed what she was about to say.
When Naria and Eriya heard Hitomi exclaim Ami when she opened the door they thought of a reason for Folken not to go.
"Lord Folken, come with us. We want to show you something else in Hitomi's home that's really neat!" Naria said, Eriya nodded.
"Well, sure. I'll go get Hitomi to tell us what it is." He said and walked to the door. That idea was a failure. They wouldn't let that girl get too close to him this night!
"What have they found?" Hitomi asked. She had invited Ami in.
"I dunno, they said they noticed something else and wanted me to look at it and I decided it would be best to get you since you would know what it is." He finished as best he could.
"Ok. What'd you find Naria?" The silver twin couldn't think of anything at the moment.
"Oh, just forget it. You have a guest of course." She said, trying to not sound angry over it.
"Oh, right." Hitomi dragged Ami back into the kitchen so they could talk and she could finish the dishes. That would have been great but Folken followed. Van also wandered in after him, and so Naria and Eriya decided they should to.
"Is it me, or does your doing the dishes fascinate everyone." Ami said observing the crowd around the sink.
"After I finish the dishes we're going back to Gaea." Hitomi stated.
"But, you're grounded. Won't you be in even more trouble if you go back with us." Van asked.
"Well, yes. I'm going to leave a note so my mom won't panic." She rinsed off the last dish, dried it and put it up. She scribbled down a note which read like this:
Mom,
Went back to Gaea, I should be back before the end of the quarter. I had to take Van and the others back. I promise not to get myself killed.
Hitomi
"Okie dokie, let's go!" Hitomi raced out the door with Ami following, who was then followed by Naria and Eriya, who was then followed by Folken and then Van. What a messed up line.
It wasn't long after the mad dash down the street to the Kama Kita track that something stopped Hitomi. As with a result of inertia, Ami ran into Hitomi, followed by the cats, followed by Folken, followed by Van. They collapsed right there.
"What the fuzzy was that about?" Ami asked, getting up. Apparently when they defeated the bringer of death guy they hadn't taken into account that Bob was still alive.
"It's not over yet!" He yelled.
"Dang, we're going to have to suffer through a sequel aren't we?" Hitomi said.
"No, this is still apart of the first story, don't worry about that just yet." Ami replied.
"Ok."
"Hey, stop talking! I'm the evil guy, remember?" Bob was tired of being ignored every time they met.
"All right, what do you want?" Ami asked.
"I want you dead!" Bob yelled.
"Fair enough." Bob lunged toward Ami, and at that exact moment the fantastic pillar of light came back and took them all to Gaea. Including Bob! They had a fairly bumpy landing, especially Hitomi who landed in a tree.
"Hitomi, are you all right?" Van yelled.
"Do I look all right?" She tossed a lock of hair out of her face and pulled a twig from out of her sleeve.
"Well, now that you mention it . . ." Being rather dark outside, it frightened Van that he could see Hitomi's angry face so well. "I'll help you down." With that he tossed off his shirt and brought out his wings. He flew up to where Hitomi was and brought her back down again.
"You're gonna get it now!" It was Bob. He was a ways over behind a shrubbery and lunged again. This time he was intercepted by a wolf man.
"I don't think so." Ruhm said. He wonderful little pack came out and helped him tie Bob down. It wasn't long after that a blond man and a little cat girl came racing toward them on a horse.
"Lord Van!" She yelled.
"Ami-chan!" Ami blinked.
"Well, that was different." Hitomi commented. Luna had also come with them and coming up over the hill was Chibi Usa and Millerna.
"I agree whole heartily." Ami said. The reunion was short lived, Bob broke free of the robes and tossed a few of the pack aside.
"This isn't over yet!" He screamed. "I'll be back!" And he fled into the night. Everyone either watched or helped the fallen.
"Oddly predictable . . ." Ami commented. "Shall we head back to Fanelia or some other place I've never heard of." No one spoke but there were many nods and Ami just followed them back to Fanelia.

No more gelotto! Mr. Roboto! I went to Chico yesterday and I wanted some geleotto so bad, but they didn't have any because winter was over. Isn't that the worst news you've ever heard?? Anyhoo, for those wondering why I keep saying this story sucks is merely because this is different from what I'm use to doing.
Yes, I still include much insanity here as all the others. I haven't written anything this long before, haven't ever attempted the seriousness that is displayed from chapter to chapter (usually) or even written any romance before. Anyhoo, that's why. I'm glad no one thinks it sucks thus far.
Coming up in the next chapter! Sailor Pluto comes back! D'oh! That was supposed to be a surprise. Erm...well, since I'm spoiling everything I also plan for Bob to come back. Actually, that's what I plan to happen, I have a tendency to just forget whatever I planned and make it all up all over again! You know what just forget you ever read these dumb little notes. They're not important to the story what so ever! What are you doing even reading this part? It's just a waste of time!
Anyhoo, for questions, comments, or suggestions you can review or mail me at sanjinoyousei@hotmail.com
