So, we were going back to earth. Dead in front of us was a castle, a giant
crystal castle with five pillars. We entered the middle one, or at least we
were about to; but a guard held out his hand. I giggled. There was no way
he was keeping us out!
"Excuse me and who are you two. Do you think you can just waltz in and see the queen," the guard gruffly asked.
"We're personal friends of the whole court. I suppose you could even say, we're part of it," answered Amara with a twinge of sarcasm.
"Yeah right, like I'd believe your story."
"Want proof?"
"Like you've got any!"
"Come on Michele, Uranus Star Power!"
"Neptune Star Power!"
"Good enough for you," asked Amara, pointing her sword at him."
"Yeah, yeah go on it!"
"I haven't had that much fun in centuries," I giggled.
"Oh what, teasing Michael wasn't fun enough this morning?"
"I thought you said he wasn't really Michael," I caught her with her guard down, which was something only I could do, without getting punched.
"He's not, but his name is Michael."
"This really isn't the best place to discuss this."
"Hello Ladies," said a very handsome man coming toward us, "Amara, Michele, how nice to see you again."
"Excuse me, do we know you," asked Amara curiously.
"Why yes you do, but perhaps I was small, white and furry the last time you saw me."
"Artemis," I questioned.
"I'm glad you remember me."
"Where's Luna," I hurriedly asked, "we need to know what's going on."
"Michele, she's right down the hall to your left, but Amara, why don't you stay and talk to me."
I nodded and left, while Amara began to voice her opinion on the matter, "Who are you really? You're not Artemis. There's just no way!"
"Anything is possible my dear."
"Not this."
"Yes, even this, even dear Serena growing up."
A little face popped out from behind Artemis' legs. "You remember Diana, don't you?"
"Diana! She's human too! But, she has a tail?"
"Yes, she does."
"All right."
Diana wasn't in the mood for talking, but she simply smiled and looked up at Amara, cutely.
Meanwhile, I was looking for Luna. "Where is she," I mumbled to myself. "Hello Michele," came a voice from behind me. A beautiful woman with long, wavy, black hair was standing just outside a door.
"Luna," I asked.
"Yes Michele."
"Luna, what has happened?"
"We were all killed, but Queen Serenity sent us all here, the future. Everyone you knew and loved, well except your parents, were brought here with you."
"Why not our parents?"
"You parents were sacrificed to save you and your loved ones, just like Queen Serenity."
"So that means."
"You're Queen Neptune."
"Oh no, I can't, I won't. My life is earth. I couldn't LIVE on Neptune."
"You must."
"But what about Michael, what about."
"Your baby? That was something that could not be transported to this world." I hung my head, but I answered, "I understand."
"In time, everything will fall back the way it was. Slowly, the boys will remember. Please don't push them, Michele, oh please try not to push them."
"I'll try, but I can't promise anything."
"I understand. They probably at least know who you are now." "Yeah, we met them this morning."
"Oh no."
"Yeah, but how will Amara understand? She's so hurt. She let herself love someone, but she's so hurt now. She doesn't believe that they're really the real Michael and Bryan."
"I can understand why."
"She's so hurt..."
"I know, but as she sees them come back, she'll understand."
"Thank you Luna."
"Come to me for anything, Michele."
"Of course."
"Excuse me and who are you two. Do you think you can just waltz in and see the queen," the guard gruffly asked.
"We're personal friends of the whole court. I suppose you could even say, we're part of it," answered Amara with a twinge of sarcasm.
