A BLAST FROM THE PAST
A BLAST FROM THE PAST
Ami was walking back from the library. It was a chilly autumn day, the wind was blowing furiously, tossing leaves and hair alike in the eyes of any who dared to weather its rage. The crossing turned to green indicating that all the people gathered at the corner were now free to cross the crosswalks and go on with their lives. Ami joined in the crowed, although she didn't exactly fit in, her dark blue hair standing out in the crowd. As she swiftly crossed the cross walk that would take her to Rei's shrine she passed several well dressed gentlemen to and fro from their works, each with their dark and somber suits passed by without even looking around, not noticing any other nor wishing to be noticed. One such gentleman was dressed in a gray suit with a patterned red tie, his blonde hair tied back in a ponytail with a small band, his blue eyes busily reading the business section of the news paper, although he was dressed like all the others surrounding him, he stood out sharply from the crowd, at least in the eyes of Ami.
"Zoisite?"
Ami was shocked to see him, but quickly dismissed that idea when she noticed how young that man looked, he had to be around twenty at least. Ami thought, and there is no way that can be Zoisite, he is dead, the negaverse is dead, we made sure of that! Ami thought to herself. Serena must be right, I must have been studying too hard lately.
Ami was about to climb the first step to Rei's shrine when she was knocked flat down by an unseen force. Without even looking up Ami smiled and greeted her accident prone friend.
"Oh Ami I am so sorry, are you OK?"
"Sure Serena it's just a little fall." Ami then took the time to look up. Serena was dressed in a mint green skirt and a pale yellow shirt, with a small bunny on it. Her hair was tied up in its usual meatball contortion, making her stand out in the crowd at any given time. Ami took Serena's proffered hand and both of them continued on to their meeting.
"Oh, be still my heart, is that Serena, and she is on time!" Rei clutched her heart faking a heart attack, to put the finishing touch, she fell to the floor, her dark eyes rolling up in her sockets and her raven hair spread around her like a river.
Serena to her credit took the pun easily, just another indication to show she had finally grown up. No matter how short lived, as a tongue stuck its way out and soon a battle began.
"If you two don't mind I would like to get this meeting over with. I have planned on going home to cook for the cooking contest." Lita stepped out, her fighting skills as legendary as her cooking. As usual her hair was tied up in a single ponytail that reached all the way down to her shoulders.
Mina stepped out next followed by two cats, one black, the other white, both with a crescent moon on their heads. The tongue war immediately stopped as Serena bubbly greeted the new comers. "Hi Mina, Luna, Arthemis, guess what, I just got an 83 on my English test." Serena promptly held out her test with a huge 83 on it written in shaky hand writing. "Sensei was so surprised she let me out of my detention." Serena bounced all the way over to Luna who nervously backed into the corner. "I told you I could do it, you lose our bet Luna."
"Well Serena that is good to know that the leader of the Sailor scouts is motivated by a bet." Luna replied sarcastically. The black cat jumped onto Serena's shoulder and called everyone's attention. "OK everyone, I know it has been awhile since our last battle with Galaxia, but also remember that at any given time, in a moments notice our home could be in danger. Although we have seen and defeated all our enemies it was through practice, but Arthemis and I have though it over and we think that it wouldn't hurt to relax a little. We need to recuperate from all the fighting..." Luna jumped down from Serena's shoulders and ran into the center of the friends circle to join Arthemis.
"To make a long story short, Luna and I have decided that although you are still the Sailor team, it is alright to take a little break to get our sprits up and recuperate." Arthemis cut in when he noticed that Luna was about to go into one of her endless lectures.
"Yeah! Now that's the stuff." Mina yelled out as she jumped skyward.
"How about we go grab some ice cream?" Serena asked, her face already drooling at the thought.
The meeting ended as the five girls raced to see who could reach the ice cream parlor first.
***************************************************
"Hi Andrew." Serena called out as she bounced herself all the way to the newest Sailor V game.
"Hi Andrew." Lita called out as she followed Serena. As all the girls greeted Andrew the ever present clerk at the ice cream and video parlor.
Andrew stepped out of the way as the freight of girls made their way to the video games. "Hey Serena there is some one waiting for you."
""What is that Andrew?" Serena turned around, her eyes falling on a single man with dark black hair and the deepest blue eyes. Sitting on a stool having a glass of malt, dressed in casual green jacket and brown pants, Darien just waited for his lady love to notice him. And notice him she did, with a delightful "Darien!" she flung herself into Darien's arms, almost knocking him out of his stool. With a last minute grasp at the counter Darien was able to stop his fall.
Sitting at the booth the rest of the scouts watched as Darien gave Serena a deep kiss that made her float on air. "I wonder if we had someone special like that back on the moon." Mina wistfully asked.
"Yeah, we must have."
"I wonder if we will ever find them, or have the same loving relationship with them." Rei noted looking into her malt.
"I don't know if I have time for that sort of stuff. I have so much to study, and then there is the graduation finals that is coming up…" At Ami's remark everyone got a big sweat drop on their heads as each thought of their up coming tests.
"Ami my friend," Lita said resolutely, "we are going to make sure that by the time school is out you have a boyfriend, then you'll understand."
"Yeah Ami, school isn't everything," Mina added, "if you don't live then there is no point to life at all."
"Lita and Mina are right, you have to step outside of your books sometimes." With that a brunette, a blonde and a black hared priestess started their plans to get Ami hooked up.
"How about a trip?" Lita asked.
"How about not!"
"Ami you have to at least try!" Mina chirped.
"Oh fine but if it interferes with school this whole deal is off!"
"Ok, now there is this really cool club that'll be perfect!"
"What will be perfect?" Serena asked as she came around with Darien.
"We are going to get Ami a man!" Lita answered her face full of excitement at the prospect of playing cupid.
"I think I'll leave you ladies now while I am ahead." Darien looked nervous, he had seen that look on his girlfriend's friends faces and it usually meant trouble for any male around.
"Bye love," Serena said absently her full concentration now directed towards the hatching plot.

Well what do you think? I know this is pretty slow and short but it'll speed up in the next part.

Oh one other thing, you will notice that I used the NA version of the inner scouts name, that is because I like them better. Sorry. But as for the outers I like the Japanese version better so I'll use that. In flash backs they revert to the old Japanese version. I hope you enjoyed this. Stay tuned to this story I'll be putting up the next one soon.
