Jessica's Point of View
I wake up in the bedroom I had when I was staying here the last time. I stretch my legs but they bump into something. I rub my eyes and sit up to see that the something was Xemnas. Despite how dry my eyes are from my last time of crying, tears still manage to flood my eyes. I feel a mixture of sadness anger and relief. I bury my face into his chest and he holds me gently and strokes my hair which isn't in its buns like it normally is. Mommy must have undone my hair while I was asleep.
"I had to bring your things and I thought you might want to say goodbye." He explained. I raised my head up in surprise.
"You have my necklace?" I sniffed. "Not that. I'm going to hold onto that until further notice. I'll keep it safe. I know how important it is to you. I'll give it back to you someday. I promise." He attempted to assure me. It didn't work.
"I need that necklace!" I shrieked. "And I need you to stay here where you're out of the way. There might be a war soon and I don't want you involved. I'll give you your necklace back if you promise me you won't use it." He decided. I got off the bed.
"I-I can't. I just can't." I muttered. "Then I can't give it back to you." He stated. "But that necklace means everything to me!" I screamed. "Then you can't have the necklace back." He replied. I couldn't take it anymore. I pounded him on his chest as hard as I could. He just sat there letting my fists collide with him.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid! I love you idiot! I love you as if you were my family! I don't care if you don't have a heart! I don't care if they don't have hearts! I love you and I love them! I can't except this! You can't seriously leave me stranded here for the rest of my life! I won't allow it! I will always find a way back to you because I love you! All my loved ones a third time is more than I can bear. If you don't take me back I'll- I'll- I'll- I'll starve myself to death!" I yelled. Instead of becoming angry, he laughed. He laughed so hard that he fell off the bed, and then he laughed some more.
"What's so funny?" I growled. "You, starving yourself?! Outrageous!" He howled. As much as I hate to admit it,he's right. I like food too much.
"I- I could do it if I wanted to." I argued. He slowly managed to control his laughter.
"Jessica, this is the way it has to be." He stated. Before I even knew what I was doing, I grabbed Xemnas' arm and dragged him to the main room where Master Yen Sid and Mommy were.
"I don't care how much danger I'm in! I can't leave the Organization behind!" I exclaimed. I looked around the room. Mommy, Master Yen Sid, and Xemnas looked surprised at my outburst.
"Jessica-" Xemnas tried. "No! I can't live like this!" I yelled. "I'm afraid you don't have a choice. Your mother has already agreed." Master Yen Sid stated. "But my father hasn't." I shot back. "That's not your father, that's his nobody!" Master Yen Sid argued. Mommy left the room.
"Jessica, I think you've done enough damage for one day. Go to your room." Master Yen Sid scolded. He tried to guilt trip me, but it won't work. Because I am Sailor Moon! Guardian of Love and Justice! Keeping a little girl away from the family she loves is definitely an injustice and goes against everything I stand for. In the name of the moon, I'll get home!
"No. I'm not going to do as you ask. Not this time. I may be just a little girl on the outside, but on the inside, I have the heart of a soldier, and my heart is telling me that I can't leave my family behind." I stated. "How bad do you want to return?" Master Yen Sid questioned. I thought for a moment, and then dropped to my hand and knees.
"Please." I begged. Master Yen Sid was silent for a long time.
"Then perhaps we can compromise somehow." Master Yen Sid replied at last. I got up off the floor.
"Out of the question!" Xemnas exclaimed quickly. I turned to him and grabbed his arm.
"But Xemnas-" I started. "No! I can't have you getting hurt because you put yourself in the middle of something you shouldn't!" He interrupted. "Surely there's something we can do to something to accommodate the child and keep her safe." Master Yen Sid sighed. "Whose side are you on?" Xemnas asked. "Jessica, why don't you go check on your mother." Master Yen Sid suggested rather than answering the question. "Alright." I sighed. At least he'll try to talk some sense into Xemnas now. I found Mommy sitting at the bottom of the steps with her face burried in her hands. I sat down next to her.
"Mommy, are you okay?" I asked. She lifted her head from her hands.
"Yes darling. I'm fine." She lied. "I think I might be able to go back with Xemnas. Now he's the one that needs to be convinced that I should live with him." I mentioned. "Jessica, I don't think you should go back. You need to stay here. Things have changed." Mommy sighed. "What do you mean?" I demanded. "I wasn't going to tell you this now. Not even Xemnas knows. There was a reason I agreed to see if we could keep you here this time. I have ties to King Lumaria and Queen Arlene, so they did their best to cover up that you were my halfling child, but they could only do so much. People found out and now I lost my home. Master Yen Sid is allowing us to hide here." Mommy explained. "Why Master Yen Sid?" I wondered. "He knew my parents." Mommy sighed. "Oh. He mentioned that once. Well, I'm glad you told me the danger we face, but I've made up my mind. If I can, I'm going home." I stated. "I thought you might say that. Just remember, no matter what choice you make, I'll always love you." Mommy smiled. Xemnas came to us. He paused before opening a dark corridor. I guess I'm not going home. He paused just before going in.
"Are you coming?" He asked. I looked at Mommy. She nodded. I gave her a quick hug and followed Xemnas through a dark corridor.
