Amy asks her mother what it is she wants to talk about curiously.
Queen Aurora tells Amy that she wants to talk about Mike as she shuts
the door. She sits back down and starts to ask Amy about him, making
sure he's not like Matt. She asks if its okay if she meets Mike and
Amy ells her he will be at the party that night.
"What is it that you want to talk about Mother?"
"Well, Queen Serenity told me a few months ago that
you've been interested in a boy named Mike here
and I just want to make sure he's not like
Matt."
"Oh believe me Mother, he's nothing like Matt."
"Well, what type of boy is he?"
"He's a real nice, sweet guy Mother. You'd like him a
lot. We get along great, see this necklace I'm
wearing, well he gave it to me."
"Oh, well can I meet him?"
"Stay for the party tonight, he'll be there."
The party arrives that night and everyone is dancing and just
enjoying themselves. Amy and her mother are over by one of the windows
talking to Lita while waiting for Mike. Mike walks in along side his
friend Alan when Amy calls him over to where she is. He heads over and
Amy introduces her mother to Mike. Mike looks at who Amy is referring
to and kneels in respect then lightly kisses Queen Aurora's hand. He
stands and asks if Amy would like to dance, which she gladly accepts.
Both Lita and Queen Aurora watch AMy and Mike dance while in light
conversation.
"Mother you remember Lita right?"
"Oh yes, how have you been?"
"Fine and you your Highness?"
"You know you can call me Aurora."
"Where is, hey Mike! Can you come over here?"
"Huh, yeah c-ya later Alan. There you are Amy."
"Mike this is my mother, Queen Aurora of Mercury."
"Your Highness, its an honor to finally meet you. You
have a very special daughter."
"Oh why thank you."
"Speaking of your daughter, would she care to dance?"
"Of course."
"What do you think Lita, about Mike?"
"Oh he's a great guy. He cares for Amy a lot and it
shows. Remember that whole Matt incident well,
Mike helped us fix it."
"Really?"
Amy and Mike are dancing and Amy is a bit tense because her mother's
there. Mike tries to figure out whats wrong but has no success. He
tries putting her mind at ease. Mike puts his hands on Amy's shoulders, bends down and kisses her. All
of Amy's tension is gone and her knees almost give out. She returns
the kiss with all her energy. When they break the kiss Mike tells her
that Alan requested a dance with her and she tells him that her mother
wanted to talk to him.
"Amy, whats wrong, you seem tense."
"Oh, its nothing. Don't worry."
"Well, maybe this will help? Well, did that help?"
"Yeah."
"Listen, Alan asked me if I could get him a dance with
you, is that okay?"
"Sure, my mother wants to talk to you anyway."
Darien and Serenity are at the punch talking about Selenity's baby.
Goku then walks over to them to see whats going on and Darien asks
where Selenity is. He tells him that she's in bed sleeping and that
the doctor told her to stay in bed for the next couple of days.
"So everything went okay today Serenity?"
"Yeah, thank goodness."
"How's it feel to be an Aunt?"
"Fine Darien, have you seen the baby yet?"
"No not yet."
"He's adorable. Goku said he's more Sayian so he has a
tail but he still has the family symbol on his
forehead. We'll get the tail removed like Goku
did."
"Hey you guys."
"Oh Goku. Where's Selenity?"
"Well, the doctor told her she should stay in bed for a
few days. She's just tired."
"How's the baby?"
"Oh Gohan, he's sleeping too."
At the end of the party, Amy's mother and Mike go over to where Amy is
talking to Jedite. Mike says good night to Amy and kisses her then
leaves. Queen Aurora tells Amy what she thinks of Mike after he leaves
and likes him a lot.
"Well how'd you like the party Mother."
"I spent a lot of the time talking to Mike here."
"Listen Amy, I gotta get some sleep. I have training
early in the morning."
"Okay, good night. So what do you think Mother?"
"He's a really nice guy Amy. I like him a lot, he's
very bright, I'm sure everyone back home would
get along with him fine."
Three years have passed and everyone is in the training room.
Luna and Artemis are up on the table with Goku standing behind them.
In front of the girls are new power sticks that are the same color but
have a crystal inside a glass-like ball along with two broaches for
the two princesses. Amy's has a sapphire, Raye's has a ruby, Lita's
has an emerald and Mina's has a topaz. The girls stand there wondering
why they're getting new power tools.
"Sorry we're the last one here Dad, Mom fell asleep and
we woke up late."
"It's okay Gohan, come on lets get started."
"Look guys, we're all getting new power tools. Even
the princesses are getting things."
"These new sticks will increase you're strength 10 fold
girls."
"Really Luna, wow."
As everyone gets their new tools and leaves, Gohan asks his father how
come he didn't get anything. Goku tells Selenity that she should go on
ahead because he wants to have a talk with Gohan alone. The two
sayians walk down and into Goku's room. They sit down on Goku's bed
and after about a 20 minute talk, the two sayians head to the dining
room for dinner.
"Dad, why didn't I get anything? Everyone else got
something but me."
"Selenity, can you go on ahead? I want to have a talk
with Gohan."
"Okay."
"Gohan, the reason that you didn't get anything is
because your power is inside you."
"Inside me?"
"Yes, you and me aren't like your mother and everyone
else. We're a race called sayians. All
sayians are born with a tail but we had
yours removed."
"Where's your tail Dad?"
"I had it removed when I was young also."
"Why?"
"I'll explain that when your a little older."
"Ah okay Dad."
"Well, I'm starving, you? Lets go eat."
"Yeah!"
"We can finish talking later."
The next day arrives and everyone is at breakfast. After they eat as
Queen Serenity tells everyone that Goku will be taking over as head of
the training sessions and that they will intensify because the attacks
are beginning again. Gohan asks Selenity if that includes him and she
nods her head. Everyone is dismissed and they go to get ready for
training.
"Okay everybody, I'm making some changes. As all of
you can see, the attacks are starting again and
that means the training has to start to
intensify. You will no longer be trained my
Luna and Artemis but by Goku."
"Does that include me Mom?"
"Yes Gohan. Your Father wants you to learn some
techniques to help us. He says you have a
great power in you although he isn't sure
what."
"Everyone, be at the training hall at 8:30, we'll begin
then."
Everyone reports to the training hall at 8:30 to see Darien and Goku
talking in front of the weapons cabinet. All the girls stand there
talking, and then transform. The girls all notice that their uniforms
have changed a little bit. That the bow in the back is longer, there's
a heart medallion in the middle of the bow on their chests and that
they're is a star on the choker around their necks. Goku opens the
weapons cabinet and starts passing out weapons to everybody.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?"
"Yeah, after that last attack we have to start training
again Besides, I don't think Beryl's going to
back off this time."
"Yeah but still, you're getting Gohan involved."
"Darien, I've sensed his power. He's more powerful
then he looks, he's a sayian remember."
"Hey you two."
"Oh hello girls."
"Hey, our uniforms are different a little."
The Princesses change into their uniforms and take two swords from
Goku. Their uniforms are much like the others Scouts' uniforms. The
only differences is that the bows are silver and the color flaps are
pink. They have boots like Sailor Jupiter, which are also pink. Once
all the weapons are passed out and everyone is paired up, Goku tells
everyone how the training is to be run and they all begin.
"Moon Princess Power!"
"Whoa, check out mine and Selenity's outfits. They're
just like yours Mina."
"Mom, what happened?"
"I'll explain later, now listen to Dad over there."
"Okay everyone, we're going to use assorted weapons
here. Now, when you pair up, wait until I
give you the instructions."
"All set Goku."
"Okay guys, here are the rules, you fight your
opponent until they are knocked out. Powers
are allowed except for you Darien and Mina.
Take it easy because those two just got their
powers."
"What about me Dad?"
"You are going to work with me for a while. You won't
spar anyone but me for three months."
"Why?"
"Gohan, trust me. You have no idea how powerful you
really are."
The training begins and at the end of the session, the Scouts and
everyone head to there room to change. They've left the training room
in pretty bad shape but not too bad. Goku and Gohan finish up training
as Selenity walks back into the room with a clean pair of clothes for
each of them. Selenity gives each of them the clothes and smiles at
Gohan. She bends down and wipes a little sweat of his face and asks
Goku how he did. Gohan heads toward his room to take a bath before
the dance that night.
"Ah, man I'm beat. We're you trying to kill me?"
"Sorry Raye, the harder I work, the harder you work and
the better you get. You almost burned me to
death."
"Well, we're even."
"You hit pretty hard Amy. My shoulder's dislocated I
think."
"Oh be quiet you baby. Come on, I'll put some ice on
it."
"Well Gohan, you did fine."
"I did, I feel like I'm gonna be sick Dad."
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it."
"Here's a change of clothes for you two."
"Thanks Mom."
"So, how was your first day training under your
father?"
"Tough, really tough."
"He'll be okay Selenity don't worry."
"Go take a bath honey. There's a party tonight that
you should go to."
The party arrives and Gohan comes up to Darien after he's
finished dancing with Serenity. Darien picks him up and Gohan points
out a person to Darien that he doesn't know. Its Tracy. Darien, Gohan
and Serenity goes over to Tracy and Gohan introduces himself. Gohan
leads Tracy out onto the dance floor. The two of them start dancing
and talking to each other. Over against the wall, Selenity, Serenity,
Darien and Goku are all watching the two of them dance. They're all
smiling at the two of them as they dance.
"Hmm, I wonder where Darien is? Oh there he is,
Darien, Aunt Serenity!"
"Gohan hi, what's up?"
"Darien, can you do me a favor?"
"Sure, what is it Gohan?"
"Tell me who that girl is over there."
"Oh her, that's my sister Tracy. Come on, you can
introduce yourself. Tracy,"
"Oh hello."
"Hi, my name's Gohan. Would you care to dance?"
"Sure."
"You know something Gohan, you're pretty tall for a
three year old."
"Well Tracy, my Dad told me that one Sayian year is
equal to four Lunar years.
"So in Lunar years, your twelve?"
"Yup."
"Look at the two of them."
"Only three sayian years old and he's already fallen in
love. Not bad."
"Darien!"
"Well Darien, looks like the triangle will be
completed."
"They just meet and you're talking about marriage!"
"Will you calm down."
The dance finally ends and Gohan and Tracy walk onto the balcony to
talk. They look at each other and she smiles at her. Gohan takes
Tracy's hand and puts it in his then covers it. He says goodnight
then heads to his room. On his way, he walks by his father's room,
who's door is open. He heads inside and closes the door. Goku comes
out of his closet and see Gohan standing there. He tells him to sit
down on the bed and he takes a seat in the other chair. Goku looks at
Gohan and can tell something's bothering him. He asks him and when he
doesn't answer, Goku knows what it is. After a short talk, Gohan
thanks his dad and goes to bed.
"Thanks for everything Gohan, I had a great time
tonight."
"Your welcome, I'll see you tommorrow?"
"Yes, good night."
"Dad?"
"Huh, oh Gohan. Something on your mind?"
"Well, I need to talk to you."
"Okay, sit up on the bed, be with you in a second.
Okay, what's up?"
"Well,"
"In love with her already."
"You could tell?"
"Yeah, I noticed it earlier tonight. Listen, when I
met your Mom I was the same way that you are."
"What did you do?"
"Well, I got to know her a lot. I found out her likes
and dislikes and spent a lot of time with her."
"Oh, so does that work?"
"It did with me. Anyway, I'm going to bed, so good
night. We can talk more tomorrow if you want."
"Okay Dad, thanks."
"Oh and Gohan,"
"Yeah."
"You'll be fine."
The next day arrives and Tracy knocks on Darien's door to talk
to him. Darien opens the door and asks Tracy what she needs. Serenity,
who is inside asks Daien if thats Tracy and Darien lets her inside.
Serenity asks Darien if he can leave Tracy and her alone to talk for a
few minutes. Darien leaves and Tracy hops up on Darien's bed next to
Serenity. The two of them talk for a time and then leave and head
toward the garden. Tracy is very confused about this whole sayian
thing.
"Hi Darien."
"Oh Tracy, whatcha need?"
"Is that Tracy? Let her in. Darien, can you leave me
and Tracy alone for a few minutes?"
"Sure, I was just going to talk to your Mom."
"So Tracy, what's on your mind?"
"I've been thinking about last night alot."
"You mean Gohan?"
"Yeah. He's a real great guy and ready to listen when
ever he's needed. We talked for a good 40
minutes last night."
"Yeah, and you like him."
"Yeah. Of course this whole sayian thing is really
confusing."
"Well, you're talking to the wrong person on that.
Selenity would be the one you want to talk to."
Everyone is at breakfast quietly eating breakfast and during the whole
time Jedite is poking at his food and not saying anything. Mina is
watching him and decies to ask him whats wrong after breakfast.
Jedite excuses himself and walks out of the dining room down the
hallway toward his room. Mina excuses herself and follows Jedite
down the hallway.
*Hmm, he doesn't look okay. I wonder if something is
wrong.*
"I'm still tired so if you all will excuse me, I'll be
in my room."
"Okay Jedite."
"Excuse me your Highness."
Jedite walks down the hallway and stops after a few minutes. Just as
Mina turns the corner, he makes a fist and puts it start through the
wall. Mina runs up to him to see what is wrong and they both head to
Mina's room to talk.
"Ah!"
"Jedite, what's wrong?"
"Its coming Mina, its coming."
"What whats coming?"
"The end."
"Come on, lets go to my room and we can talk."
Mike and Gohan are in Gohan's room talking to each other. Gohan is
asking about Amy and Mike on how he worked it out with Amy. Mike
catches on that this is in relation to Tracy and laughs at Gohan and
tells him as they head to the training room to get some work in.
"So how'd you work things out with Amy. I heard about
her old boyfriend, your friend Matt there. So
after that, what happened?"
"Well Gohan, it originally was just protection because
she was a real mess when Zoicite was taken. I
wanted to do this to make sure she wouldn't be
hurt until Zoicite came back but, I didn't
think that this would happen."
"What?"
"We just, grew on each other. I didn't mean for it to
happen, it just did. Is this in relation to
Tracy at all."
"Jeez, everyone around here catches on that fast around
here huh?"
"Yup, now I hear you're pretty good at fighting and I
want a work out, come on."
Queen Serenity and her two daughters are in the throne room discussing
some business when Goku walks in. Queen Serenity sees him walk in and
he puts his finger to his mouth, asking her to be quiet. He creeps up
on Selenity and grabs her waist. She jumps nearly five feet in the air
then turns around to face Goku, who has a smile on his face.
"Yes Mother, Selenity and I were talking about that."
"Also Mother we ah! Goku! Don't do that!"
"Sorry, you needed me Queen Serenity?"
"Yes, is everything ready for the training sessions
this week?"
"Yes, the short-handed matches begin today."
Later that day, Goku is in the training room with Gohan working. Amy
and Mike watch the two of them working on their attacks and powers.
Gohan is working on his control and a few of his attacks. When the two
sayians are done, Mike and Amy applaude the two of them.
"Gohan you ready?"
"Yeah, lets go."
"Okay, look at the ground."
"No."
"Look at it."
"No."
"Kamehameha!"
"Kamehameha!"
"Very nice you guys , very nice."
"Thanks Mike. Gohan, your mind exercises are coming
along nicely. Keep them up, I'll teach you a
new attack in about a week."
"Alright Dad."
A few months pass and Raye is walking with Mina talking to her about
Jedite. She asks why the two of them are spending alot of time
together lately and Mina explains to her what Jedite told her a few
months ago. Raye stands there thinking for a minute on what Jedite
may have meant.
"Can I ask you somethring Mina?"
"Sure, go ahead."
"You and Jedite have been hanging around with each
other lately, is there anything you're
keeping from me?"
"Huh, oh that. No Jedite has been having these dreams
lately. He's been talking to me about them
because he told me at first."
"Told you what?"
"That it's coming. The end is coming. I told him to
talk to you but, he probably didn't want to
worry you."
"Oh I see."
"Yeah, I guess he means the final battle."
Gohan is limping back to his room and runs into Tracy on the way.
Tracy lets out a short scream when she sees what shape Gohan is in and
walks him to his room. She opens the door and Gohan sits on his bed,
holding his arm. Tracy goes into the bathroom to get some water and
gets the other medicine that she thinks may help. She tells him she
will be right back because she has to go to her room for some medicine
that could help. When she returns, she helps him take off the remains
of the shirt that he's wearing to reveal numerous cuts, bruises and
scrapes. It looked to Tracy that a few of Gohan's ribs may be broken
and Gohan believes that his shoulder is dislocated. She starts
treating his wounds and Gohan comments to her on her hands that causes
her to blush a bit.
"Ah man, I hate it when we train like that. He seems
to do this, ah, everytime he-. Oh Tracy,
sorry."
"Gohan! what on Earth happened?"
"I had one of my hardest training sesssions. Dad
really pounded me today."
"Come on, lets have a look at everything."
"Ouch that hurt."
"I'll be right back, there's some medicine in my room
that can help."
"Okay Tracy, thanks for everything."
"Lets get that shirt off of you. My God Gohan, you're
lucky you're alive. You look like you've been
torn to pieces; cuts, scrapes and bruises. Do
your ribs hurt?"
"A little. I think my shoulder is dislocated also."
"I think your ribs, at least three are broken. Here, I'll start
cleaning you up."
"Your hands."
"What about them?"
"They're so soft."
Amy walks by Gohan's room and sees Tracy tending to his wounds. She
pops her head in to see how everything is going and if Tracy needs any
help. Tracy tells her thats okay but she would like her to take a
look at something for her. A few minutes later, Mike walks in, looking
for Amy to talk to her. He looks at Gohan and winks at him while Gohan
smirks in reply.
"Hi you two, I'm not interupting anything am I?"
"No Amy, Gohan here got banged up by his dad in
training today. I'm just cleaning his wounds
for him."
"Need a hand with anything?"
"Not really Amy, can you hand me the poroxide there? I
also want you to take a look at his ribs. They
look broken but I'm not sure. Besides, I
learned fast learning under you."
"Hello everyone, is there a party going on in here?"
"Nope, just helping Tracy clean up Gohan. Whatcha
need?"
"I wanna talk to you, come on."
Amy and Mike leave and Tracy finishes cleaning Gohan up. She asks him
if he's okay and he gets up and stretches. He says he'll be as good as
new in two to three days. He sits back down on the bed and sits there
as Tracy gets a shirt out of the closet for him. She looks at him,
smiles and sits down in the chair in front of him. She looks at him
and he stares at her for a minute. The two of them bring their heads
closer to each other and kiss. They reach for each others faces and
when they break the kiss, they smile at each other. Tracy tells Gohan
that she has to find her brother and Gohan watches her leave.
"There you go, that oughtta do it. How do you feel?"
"A lot better thanks. I'll be fine in two to three days."
"Really?"
"Yeah, sayians heal pretty fast. Another good thing is
when Dad does this to me, I grow stronger.
Just like with every fight we're in, all
sayians are like that."
"Here's a shirt for you. Listen, I have to go find
Darien, I'll see you later."
Amy and Mike head to Amy's room to talk about whatever Mike
needed to ask her. They head inside and sit down on the bed. Amy
looks at Mike wondering what he needs to ask her when Mike turns to
her and takes her hands. Amy's eyes begin watering as Mike asks her
to marry him. Amy sits there for a second awestruck and finally finds
her voice again. She tells Mike that she will and Mike gives her a
necklace his mother made when he was young. It's a gold chain with a
dark purple stone, outlines in gold. He puts it around her neck and
gives her a kiss, he says that he has to get ready for tonight and that
he would see her then.
"So Mike, what did you want to talk about?"
"Well Amy, I wanted to know, if you'll marry me?"
"I-I.. Y-Yes, I'll marry you."
"Here, this is a necklace my mother made for me when I
was young. Take this, as an engagement
present."
"Its beautiful, thank you."
"Your welcome. Listen, I gotta get ready for tonight;
I"ll see you then."
"Okay."
Jedite is out in the garden walking around and soon runs into Darien.
He asks him about if he thinks the attacks will ever end. After a
short discussion, Mina comes over to the two of them to see how Jedite
has been doing lately. He tells her he's been doing fine and feels
back to his own self. She tells them that the Queen wishes to speak to
everyone in 10 minutes.
"Darien!"
"Oh Jedite, how've you been lately?"
"Alright I guess. How you been holding up with the
fights starting again?"
"Serenity's getting fed up with it real fast. I'm
tired of it too but you know I'll keep going."
"Hey you two, Jedite you feel any better?"
"Yeah Mina thanks. I don't know why I was like that
for a while."
Tracy is walking the hallway and soon runs into Lita and asks if she
can talk to her for a few minutes. The two of them head to Tracy's
room and close the door. After Tracy gets them each a cup of water,
they begin talking about what happened earlier in Gohan's room. Lita's
a bit surprised that Tracy's talking to her and not Mina on this. Lita
gives her some advice and they continue talking.
"Well, talking to Darien wasn't much of a help. Oh
Lita hi."
"Hey Tracy, you look like you got something on your
mind, anything I can help with?"
"Maybe, can we go talk in my room."
"Sure. So, whatcha need?"
"Its Gohan."
"Yeah, what about him?"
"Well, he was training today and got beat up by Goku
pretty bad."
"Sayians train like that."
"He ran into me and I helped clean him up when we got
to his room. When I got done, we sat there-"
"I know where this is going and I wouldn't worry. In a
way, I'm amazed you're asking me this."
"How come?"
"Well, Mina's from Venus, not me."
They finish talking and then head out to the garden. Selenity is
talking with her son in her room about a few things. She asks him how
his training is going and how he has been holding up in all the fights.
He tells her that he's been okay and that he wanted to talk to her
about Tracy. They go out to the dining room to eat when they're done.
"So, thats what I would do."
"Thanks for the help Lita."
"Hows your training going with your Dad? He says he's
been letting you have it some days."
"Yeah but that's good thing in some aspects. Mainly
that I get stronger everytime. He also has
been showing me some new attacks."
"Oh, have you been working in these attacks at all?"
"Sure are. How are your powers working?"
"I'm getting better with them."
"Anyway Mom, I want to talk about Tracy. I ah,"
"Your father explained it to me last night. I agree
with him, get to know her for a while. It hit
your Dad hard when we first met but, look what
happened."
"Boy, word travels fast."
Another year has passed and everyone is in the conference room
talking about how violent the fights have become lately. The Queen
asks everyone if they have any suggestions on what to do. Amy says
that they should set up a defensive strategy while Raye, Jedite and
Mina propose to attack the Negaverse directly. Everyone else is split
down the middle and can't decide.
"I believe Beryl's going to begin come with everything
soon. We have to come up with a good defensive
plan so we're ready for the invasion."
"I think we should attack the Negaverse. I'm getting
sick of always fighting with our backs against
the wall. Besides, there's no way that Beryl
wouldn't suspect that we would do that."
"Jedite does have a point. Your Highness?"
Queen Serenity stands up and walks over to the window to look out it.
After a momment of uneasy silence, Queen Serenity says something to
Goku and everybody else. The queen leaves and everyone in the room
looks at each other. Goku then gives them instructions and they all
head to there rooms.
"Goku,"
"Yes Queen Serenity?"
"I want you to step up everyone's training, especially
Gohan and my two daughters."
"Yes Queen Serenity. Okay everyone, I want all of you
to go change and be at the training room in 10
minutes."
