Author's Note: So, I just realized that Mars had an attack called Mars Crashing Fire… ah well. Then, I also realize that in one of the chapter outline I put Halloween later and Christmas before! … unless… I switch the season up! Anyhow, here it is! Oh yeah! I had switched things up with Ami's mini-computer!
Thank you to Light-Princess14 for reviewing! I hadn't really realized that Venus and your Tammy are very much alike! Thanks for telling! For all you whoever reads this, check out Light's story which is called Another Century, Another Generation. It's really good! And yes, Light is currently working on a sequel which is out.
Disclaimer: Stupid disclaimer. I don't own any except for my villains, Twilight Princess and Lunar.
Chapter 18: Snowfall
A certain blonde-haired who was wearing a yellow jacket walked through the cold windy breeze, making her hair to fly back. Even with the scarf, mitts and toque, her teeth were slowly chattering behind the scarf. Finally, she had reached the palace that stood before her.
It was hard to believe that Queen Beryl will want to destroy this beautiful, elegant palace. Sometimes, when she gets angry, she looks like a witch… The girl shook her head away from the thought.
At last. She thought. The doors swung open, allowing Minako to go in but to find the Throne Room empty.
Where's Queen Serenity and King Chand? Minako shrugged. It's not like I need them. She mumbled in thought.
As she entered her room, she found her bed already made and saw Luna cuddled warmly, sleeping.
Minako sniffed. It smells like popcorn in here. Then, she looked back at Luna only to find the answer. Luna was cuddled in an open bag of popcorn; she laughed quietly.
I don't blame her. Minako eyes grew wide with delight. I've got it!
-bathroom-
This is perfect! Thanks Luna! She thought tying her hair up in a bun while hearing the water running down as steam was rising up. The Jacuzzi was filled with scented cherry blossoms bubble bath. She then closed the taps, letting the towel fall and went in the tub, sighing happily as she let the water soothed her.
This is heaven. Minako thought, letting the bubbles covering her.
-kitchen-
A brown-haired that was pulled in pony-tail was humming happily, pouring flour.
I can't wait for Christmas! I wonder where the others are. Well, at least I would be able to find Ami. The Library. Makoto shook her head.
That Ami is such a bookworm!
You can't get her to put the book away!
Hmm… Serenity=studying? ha! That will be the day! Actually, if she tried to, the world is going to explode! Makoto laughed out loud from the thought.
"Excuse me, miss… are you alright?" A voice said, making Makoto to gasp and turned to see a servant-maid.
"Yes!"
"Oh… I thought you were on crack…" The servant-maid replied, almost stuttering.
Makoto sweat-dropped. "No, no, no, no, no!"
"Do you need help?" She asked.
"I- it's your guys day off!" Makoto exclaimed. "Go and relax! But do you know where are the Christmas cookie cutters?"
May nodded. "It's in the second right hand drawer… to where you are standing. Go right until you are at the second drawer."
Makoto moved until she opened the drawer. "Thanks!
May nodded, walking towards the opposite cabinet, getting out a glass. She then poured herself tea.
"Are you certain you don't need any help? The sink could use some help." She eyed the sink that was full of dirty dishes… even the sink itself was dirty.
"I am 100% certain! GO! I can take care of it!" Makoto walked May who was holding the glass cup towards the door. "Have fun with your day!" May was about to say something but the door got closed. She sighed with defeat.
Makoto leaned against the door with her back, sighing. They deserve days off. She looked at the kitchen; it was a mess as if a hurricane came in.
There were some batter on cabinets, counters, oven/stove and the floor. Scattered dishes were everywhere along with an open recipe book that was lying on the counter.
Wow… She looked at herself. There was also batter on the apron, including on her warm green pull down sweater. Her face was also covered in batter. I will clean myself up later! Time to get back to work! She thought, skipping happily but then slipped.
"Woah!" Makoto shouted, slipping on an oily floor. She then grabbed the edge of the counter to stop herself from falling, letting the tip of her ponytail hit her cheek. She pulled herself up, making her forearms to rest on the counter.
"Maybe I should clean the floor first." She reminded herself.
-Library-
The Library was large; a medium, rectangle crystal clear window was on the right wall with a window bed beside it. Long, light blue curtains were falling down like a waterfall. Sun rays struck the window which had allowed the rays to pour in, making it to shine brighter. Then, as you move forward there will be a wall that is curved. It revealed many bookshelves that is on the far left hand side, almost touching another arched window; it was only a few centimeters away.
When you are facing sideways so that your right shoulder is facing the bookshelves, there is another wide path that looked like a tunnel. When you walk towards the path, the first thing you will see is a fireplace that is etched into the white wall. In front of it, was a relatively size coffee table with two armchairs facing the table but with different directions.
A girl was sitting at the window bed, letting the sunrays touch her hair. On her lap, was a small computer with two to three books, lying open beside her; on the floor were many more open books. Right now, Ami looked like the person who didn't need disturbance because she was typing furiously.
I'm not even done my homework! Ami cried in thought. Well, it's not my fault! Being a Senshi, going to the Astronomy Station to help people out, studying for the upcoming exams…
Ami took a deep breath then let it go. Relax… calm yourself…
-kitchen-
A soft ding alerted Makoto who jerked up, running towards the oven. She grabbed an oven mitt, pulling down the handle, letting the deliciously aroma of cookies out. After getting it out, Makoto turned (still holding the cookie tray) but she slipped again.
She let out a shriek and felt something caught her along with the empty tray. With a quick swift movement, the thing that was holding the tray quickly followed the movements of the falling cookies. One by one, each cookie landed on the tray with a thunk; some of them were turned over and none of the cookies had hit the ground.
"Huh? Wh-" Makoto looked to see Endymion.
"Endymion! You saved the cookies!" Makoto exclaimed, hugging him.
"Of course I did! You should be careful next time." Endymion then placed the cookie tray on top of the stove.
"Not to be rude or anything… but why are you here?" Makoto asked, putting the cookies on a large plate.
"I'm hurt. This is the thanks I get after saving you from a fall. I'm really hurt, Mako-chan." Endymion mumbled; Makoto had a sudden look of guilt.
"I'm sorry… Endy." Makoto apologized.
"Anyways, I was looking for Serenity. Do you know where she is?" Endy asked.
"Looks like somebody got a crush on her." She smirked but then sang at the word 'her'.
"W-what? N-n-no!" Endy stammered, his face turning red. Makoto laughed.
"No. I haven't. But try checking her room.
"Alright thanks." He then grabbed a cookie, receiving a slap on the hand.
"Couldn't you wait until tomorrow!" Makoto exclaimed.
"Nope." He munched on the cookie. "Hmm… this is very good." He said with a mouthful.
"Pig." Makoto mumbled Endy started to walk, still eating the cookie but then stopped.
"Just to let you know, I think your communicator beeped." Endy said, walking out.
Makoto checked both of her back pockets jean. She then pulled it out, seeing a blinking light.
"I wish it was just him." Makoto muttered, turning it on, receiving a fuzzy screen then it got cleared up. "What?" (A/N: When Makoto said I was it was just him the question was originally like this: Is it just me or did your communicator? So yeah.)
"There's Youma attacking at the Snowy Mountain Hill which is where we are at. Bring Minako! We don't know where she is." Ami said. "All of us are here, including Serenity."
Makoto suddenly felt a lump in her throat. "Alright. I'll be there." She shut the communicator, putting it back in her pocket. Ah well… Endy will figure it out that Serenity is not there. Now, for Minako. Where could she be?
-Minako's room-
She… has to… be in here… Makoto thought, panting until she saw a light in the bathroom. She flung the door open.
"Minako?" She shouted.
"WHAT? WHAT! AAAHHHH!" Minako suddenly screamed.
"Endy!" Minako squeaked, quickly diving underwater.
"Oh sorry!" Endy apologized, blocking the sight. His face turned red from embarrassment.
"ENDY!" Makoto shrieked.
"OW! I can hear well!" He exclaimed, grimacing in pain.
"What are you doing here? Out! OUT!" She shoved Endy out of Minako's room. Minako brought herself to the surface, gasping for breaths. She then got out of the Jacuzzi.
"Come on! There's trouble at Snowy Mountain Hill!" Makoto exclaimed, grabbing a dripping wet Minako.
"WHAT? WAIIIITTT! I need clothes!" Just in time, Minako grabbed a towel, covering herself up. The door opened, revealing Endy who was about to speak but got interrupted.
"NO time, Endy!" Makoto shouted.
"A girl can't get her privacy!" Minako growled.
"Girls." Endy muttered then paused. "Did Makoto dragged Minako out of the room with only a TOWEL? … oh dear Lord!"
-In the freezing outside-
"M-Ma-Makoto! Stop! Are we h-here!"
"We're here!" Makoto exclaimed, joining the group of girls.
"About ti-" Mars said but then got stopped, seeing Minako with only a towel… and was dripping wet.
"Mi…na…ko?" Mars asked. "Wh-"
"If you really want to blame, blame it on Makoto!" Minako growled.
"Hey! Mars! Don't you think you should unfreeze- HOLY SHIT OF PLUTO! MINAKO! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR CLOTHES?" Pluto shrieked.
"Quit it! I will transform! Meanwhile, keep the Youma busy because it's waking up! Venus Light Power!"
"Jupiter Light Power!"
"Mars Crashing Fire!" Mars shouted, just as Minako shouted.
"Make up!"
Minako twirled her brooch, wildly which allowed the orange streak of stars to follow her movements. Then, she brought the brooch above her head, allowing the streaks circle her.
Makoto held her brooch up, spinning around as lighting came out of it, creating many lighting rings of electricity and she was in the middle, crunched like a tiny ball.
Rei did a circle movement with her arms as fire came out, rushing towards the Youma aka the Abdominal Snowman. As it did, it got separated into two long streaks.
The streak of stars exploded diagonally, revealing Minako with a dark blue bow, white gloves with orange bands on each side, a white torso, an orange fuku and with orange pumps. A tiara and earrings flashed, completing her look and she posed.
The electricity's then exploded, showing Jupiter with a pink bow, white torso, white gloves with green bands at each side, an green fuku and green heels. Finally, a tiara and earrings emerged and she posed.
Then, when it started to circle around the Youma, everything was black. The Youma brought its arm branches down, making the fire to explode… to go at the sides.
"How dare you ruin our free time! Soldier of Beauty and Love, Sailor Venus! If I were you, I would just turn into dust right NOW!" Sailor Venus shouted, posing and while glaring at the Youma.
"A girl can't get her privacy these days! ("She better not refer to me or you won't see Jupiter any longer!" Minako growled.) I stand for Thunder and Lighting! Jupiter is my name! In the name of the Moon, prepare to be thrashed!" Jupiter yelled, posing as well.
Suddenly, the Abdominal Snowman turned its arm branches into two snow gun, receiving gasps from the Senshis. Then, it fired it as snowballs shot out, shooting at the three Senshis; the rest of the Senshis got frozen from an ice beam.
"Mars! Unfreeze us!" Serenity screamed.
"Must I?" Rei asked but received very deathly glares from all of them, making Rei to laugh sheepishly. "Mars Sword Inferno!" Rei jumped in the air as two swords emerged from Rei's hands and soon they were covered in flames. Rei was still in air and she shot out fire streaks from the swords and within seconds, the ice blocks melted, releasing them.
The Snowman was too busy targeting Jupiter and Venus who were dodging the snowballs madly. Unluckily, a snowball had struck right beside Minako's feet which had caused the snow to blow up, causing her to fall but she fell on her butt. She then quickly moved her feet out of the way as another snowball came but it struck the ground. The ground got frozen as it was turned into a small puddle of ice.
Jupiter was dancing all over the place, desperately trying to dodge to the flying snowballs. Unfortunately, one of the snowballs struck her face, causing her to fall back to the ground. Just when it couldn't get any worse, the snowman jumped into the air, shouting.
"Avalanche… SHOCK!" It then went down, creating a shock wave. The ground started to shook almost like an earthquake and Venus looked up to the tallest Mountain hill and gasped.
"Oh My! AVALANCHE!" Minako screamed, seeing a huge avalanche thundering down.
"If only we had skis!" Jupiter exclaimed. Out of nowhere, skis materlized in front of them. "Huh?"
"I just learned how to make things appear out of my computer! Isn't it great? I now know what Queen Serenity meant by 'a special install,'" Ami replied excitedly. "What are you waiting for? Let's go!" The Senshis quickly ran towards their skis and started to ski. Just in time, the avalanche got closer to them. The Snowman growled in annoyance.
Cursed Senshi! No matter! It dissolved away. Pluto looked to see the avalanche, gaining on them.
"Guys! Have you seen the Snowman!" Serenity asked.
Michiru looked around. "Heads up! It's above us!" She cried out.
"That is sooo unreal! An abdominal snowman… flying!" Haruka exclaimed, seeing a very angry snowman that was flying above them. It then continued to shoot snowballs.
"Ack! It's raining snowballs!" Hotaru shouted. They each dodged the snowballs while trying to move away from the avalanche.
"Let's make this even more entertaining!" The snowman smirked. Ahead of them, were many abdominal snowman's.
"Cursed Snowman!" Mars muttered until Venus gasped as she went through a snowman which caused it to disappear. Venus sputtered the snow as she was covered from the snow.
"Yuck! It didn't even taste like snow!" Venus's made a disgusted face. Jupiter widened her eyes as she saw a bump in the snow. She went towards it, giving a liftoff and she passed the snowman's'. Jupiter then landed back on the ground and soon she was followed by the rest of the Senshis.
Serenity also saw a bump in the snow. As she got close to it, something had her trip and she was stumbling forward. She got a lift off as she was screaming for dear life.
Rei and Jupiter noticed something in the sky.
"It's a bird."
"It's a plane."
"It's… Serenity?" The two said in unison, hearing her scream until she started to crash to an evergreen tree one by one, making Rei and Jupiter to wince in pain.
Serenity had finally come to a last tree and she plunged diagonally to the ground, sliding a bit forward.
She groaned in pain. "Stupid Snowman!" She muttered.
"I got it! Neptune! Mercury! Use your attack to freeze the avalanche!" Hotaru yelled.
"Ice Beam Shatter!" Mercury yelled.
"Torment of Water!" Neptune recited.
Swirling ice swirled towards the avalanche as the gust of water rushed towards it as well. When the water touched the avalanche, the ice from Mercury immediately started to freeze. Sooner or later, the avalanche stopped.
"WHOO! Nice going, Mercury!" Neptune high-fived Ami.
"Mars sword Inferno!" Mars had a lift off from the bump and she turned as swords emerged. She then fired it towards the snowman. The fire made contact with each other and it screamed in pain as the fire was licking its snowy skin.
Slowly, the snowman started drip. Finally, all what's left of it was nothing but a puddle. However, it didn't look like a puddle; instead it looked more like a glob of unpleasant things.
"Rainbow of pure light!" Light spiraled towards it and the snowman gave a last final scream of pain before exploding into snowflakes that was falling down.
"It's snowing!" Venus replied as more snowflakes followed by; the rest of them de-transformed except for Venus. "And there's no way in hell I'm transforming back!" Venus growled, shooting a vicious glare to Makoto who laughed sheepishly. The rest of them laughed.
Author's Note: Whew! Finally got it done! Oh yes, Abdominal snowman! … hmm… I should've stick Sasquatch of Doom! AH well, that will be in for my sequel or for my trilogy… I really don't know!
