Usagi's
Big Surprise For The Inners
The next
morning…
»bbbbbbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzz!!«
"Ugghh!!" Usagi exclaims while turning to look at the
clock on her bedside table. "It's 6:30!! I must have been out of my mind to set
my alarm this early, on a Saturday, no less! Now, why did I do that?" She sits up on her bed. With her overgrown pink bunny pajamas peeking their way from under her
blue moon and stars quilt.
Thinking for a few minutes, "Oh! Now I remember! I have the Threelights as my guests! I also wanted to do a tiny little prank on one of them." Usagi quickly gets out of bed. She then takes a quick shower and changed
into a white blouse with a V cut and a pair of Levi shorts. Her pink bunny slippers finished off her
ensemble.
Once she was done, she tiptoed down
the hall, being careful to not wake up Taiki, who was sleeping in her brother's
room directly across the hall from her bedroom. As she reached the stairs, she went down them as smoothly as she
could. (no, she didn't trip) As she reached the living room, she could see both
of the sleeping Starlights. Yaten was
sleeping in a curled up position like a shrimp to her right. Snoring away. Usagi turned left to find Seiya tossing and turning in an uncomfortable
position. She could see that if she
didn't do anything, that he was going to scream.
Forgetting about her prank, she knelt beside him a began to shake him. "Seiya! Seiya! Wake up! You are having a
nightmare!" Becoming frustrated at the web of dark dreams which seemed to have
encaptured the leader of the Starlights, she did the first thing that came into
her mind. "Seiya, if you don't wake up now; I am going to hurt you. 5…4…3…2…"
»Bang!!!«
Seiya: "Aaaahhhh!!!
Don't kill me!!" Jumping off the floor.
Usagi: "Shush! You'll wake up Yaten with all that noise!"
Seiya: "Don't
worry, Yaten is a deep sleeper. It
takes both me and Taiki together to wake him up every morning." *with a smug
grin plastered on his face * "Anyways, what was with that? I had thought it was part of my dream until
I felt the pain."
Usagi: "Seiya, you know as well as I, you
were not having a dream, but a nightmare. You were about to scream your head off within three minutes. I didn't think that my neighbors would have
appreciated the wake up call. Do you
want to tell me about it? It didn't
seem all that pleasant to me."
Seiya: *
sigh * "You really want me to tell you?" At her nod of confirmation, he began
hesitantly. "The picture of the fight with Galaxia keeps playing itself over
and over again. The difference is, that
I don't see how we had won the battle… more correctly, you, winning the battle we all fought. I keep seeing you lose your starseed. You dieing; because we couldn't protect you. Like we couldn't protect our princess. * eyes start spacing out
*
Usagi: "Seiya, it's ok, we saved both Galaxia
and the world. You don't have to feel
bad about anything, okay? Besides, if
you guys hadn't been there with me, I would have surrendered myself to save
those I loved. I owe you my life and
gratitude, Seiya. Please don't feel
guilty for anything. You helped me
defeat Galaxia with or without knowing it. Believe in yourself, believe in
me. We can put it in our pasts. That's where it belongs. We all have a
future to look forward to. We can't
live that future if we are stuck in the past."
Seiya: "Odango,
you have grown a lot wiser in the past couple years. *smiles* I thank you. Hey, wait a minute here! What were you
doing down here? Your room is
upstairs. Going by what your friends
have told us about you, don't you usually wake up LATE?!"
Usagi: "Well," lying through her teeth "my
alarm clock got messed up for some reason. It buzzed me awake THREE hours before I usually wake up on a school day
no less!! I wake up usually around
noon on a non school day. * whine * I couldn't get back to sleep, so I came
down to get some breakfast and then remembered you guys were here." 'there,
hopefully he bought that'
Seiya: 'She's
lying, but how do I prove it?'
Clinkity
clank. Clink clank (loud)
Both: "Nani!?(what)
???: "Gomen
nasai! I was going to make myself some
breakfast. I didn't want to disturb
your conversation! * laughing sarcastically *
Seiya: "YYYYYYAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEENNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You did that on purpose! Oooooo I am going to pay you BACK one of
these days!!" As he was about to get up, though, Usagi pulled him back down. Calmly telling him with her eyes to let it
go.
Backing
off, he threatened. "You're getting off right now, but next time, you won't be
so lucky!"
Yaten: "Ha ha ha Seiya! All talk but no action. You never live up to your threats!" before dodging a flying pillow which was on
a head on collision with his head.
Seiya: "Why
you little pipsqweak! Why I ought to kick you back to Kinmokusei!" "Seiya, calm
down. You don't want to really hurt
Ya…" rrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!
Usagi was
cut off by the ringing of the phone. Running to the phone, Usagi picked it up and answered, "Moshi Moshi? Who
is this?"
???: "Usagi. We were wondering how you were holding up?" * crash! * "Usagi?
Honey? Is everything okay?" "Umm. Yeah. Everything's okay. Just dropped something, that's all, mom." While
saying that, she silently motions for both Seiya and Yaten to stop moving. Covering the mouthpiece, she whispered,
"It's my mom."
Ikuko: "Honey, are the girls over with you?"
Usagi: Putting her finger to her lips at the
guys, she answered, "Yeah, mom. I kinda invited minna over because I was
getting a little lonely by myself. I
hoped that it's alright with you?"
Ikuko: "Sure, honey, you father adds, 'as
long as they're no boys', okay, sweetcheeks?"
Usagi: "Understood loud and clear. Sorry, mom. I got to go. Breakfast is about
to burn. Talk to you soon, okay? Bye."
Ikuko: "Bye."
Click…………..
Seiya and Yaten both started
laughing. Holding their bellies because
their stomachs were starting to hurt from the pain. "No boys…" "We are
girls! Funny, I always thought we were guys unless we transformed, while
on Earth." "You two better shut up or I am kicking you both out of here."
"Okay,
okay, we'll behave, like perfect little girls, right Seiya?" Yaten stops laughing and sits in a cross
legged style, drawing an invisible halo around his silver-haired head.
"Yeah,
right. YOU, being an angel, give me a break." Seiya once again starts cracking
up.
???: "Hey,
what time is it? You guys are the
loudest bunch I have ever heard.
Usagi: "Sleep well, Taiki-san? I am sorry if
you were awaken by some loud folks. * glaring at both Seiya and Yaten *
Taiki: "Oh
well, I am up. Might as well change and
brush up on my subject of arithmitics. School starts soon, remember?" he begins walking away, wearing only his light blue pajamas. Covered with pictures of all different
types of books.
Everyone
but Taiki began to groan.
»
Fourty-five minutes later…. «
Usagi: "We have to meet minna, Rei's been telling me
that she's received these dreams lately about a new enemy. Just when you start to enjoy rest and
relaxation, someone always has to ruin it. * sigh * Oh well, you guys should
come, I know of two girls who will be excited to see you again. *giggling *
while looking towards where Taiki was sitting on the chair in front of the
television and then towards Yaten who was already by the door, putting his coat
on. (you can tell who was anxious to leave. =^.^=) "Taiki-san, are you
coming? Ami-chan is going to be so
happy to see you again!" * grinning widely *
Taiki: "Ami?! Where? She's the only one here who I can communicate with who doesn't either go
'huh?' or "aww, do we have too?' * blushes *.
Usagi: "Okay, everyone's going. Great! Let's go now, or we are going to be late. When we get near, though, can you hide just for a few
minutes? I really want to surprise the
girls?"
"Sure."
"I'm
game."
"Of
course, Tsukino-san."
"Let's
go!"
»Twenty
minutes later at the Hino Shrine…«
Rei, on
seeing Usagi calmly walking up the stairs, not five minutes late, but SIX, was
very disappointed in her, and began to shout, "Odango Atama! You are SIX minutes late! What's your excuse this time?!"
Usagi: "You really want to know? Ami-chan, Mina-chan, I have a BIG surprise
for you!"
Mina: "Nani!? What is it? Where is it? Your hands are
empty." She cranes her neck, but didn't see anything behind Usagi, either. She soon becomes confused."
Ami, in
the meantime, had spotted a familiar long brown-haired ponytail and went to
check it out.
Yaten: "Man, no one is going to guess." *
laughs quietly *
Ami: Popping
right behind Taiki, she asks, "Am I no one?" * she grins, and her grin gets
bigger when she realized that she had just spooked them.
Taiki
spins around and then pulled Ami into a big bear hug, whispering in her ear so
the other Lights couldn't hear, "I really missed you." And then gave her a
small kiss on the cheek.
Yaten was
next and gave her a hug, then it was Seiya's turn. As Seiya was hugging her, he whispered in Ami's ear, "Hey, I
would have thought that Minako would be running here by now, where is she?"
"She doesn't know yet, I found you guy's because Taiki's ponytail was flying
out from behind the tree, you need to be careful if you had wanted to be kept a
surprise." As Seiya let him go, she gave him a small peck on the cheek. (You can just guess how jealous that made
Taiki.)
Suddenly
they hear Usagi's voice.
"They gave up, can you please show
yourself now?"
Seiya: "Hey,
I guess that's our cue to announce our arrivals, ne? Come on!"
They walk out from behind the big oak
tree, and showed themselves to three shocked scouts, Mina's mouth almost
reached the floor, and it took her only five seconds to get her senses back
before she started running down the stairs and then literally jumping on Yaten,
covering his entire face with kisses. Hugging him continually while doing so.
Yaten: "Aww, I didn't know you cared,
Mina." Trying to brush her off, while
pretending he didn't enjoy the attention.
Mina: "Well,
I do, Yaten Kou. You are just always
ignoring me."
Usagi: "I see Ami's found her surprise before
hand. How'd you know, Ami-chan?"
Ami: "I
saw Taiki's ponytail and went to check it out. I found it." * smiling like a little kid who just ate the last piece of
the cake.
Taiki: "Like
I said before, she's highly intelligent." This was soon followed by everyone cracking up.
Rei: "It's
great with the reunion and all, but you really need to hear about the new enemy
I have been seeing in my dreams as well as in the fire." Heading back towards the fire room."
Once everyone was seated next to Rei,
who was directly in front of the great fire, she told everyone to be as quiet
as they could be so she could concentrate. She soon went under a deep hypnosis spell, slowly telling the others on
what the new enemy looked like. Where
it was now, and how strong it seemed to be. "Sorry I can't tell you anymore, my mind is exausted." She managed to
say before fainting onto Makoto's lap, who had happened to be sitting to Rei's
left.
Yaten: "Is she alright?" * concern filling
his deep green eyes *
Usagi: "Hai, she's just exausted, she'll gain back her
strength with rest." While she was saying this, Mako-chan had lifted the limp
senshi and was carrying her up to her room.
» Twenty
minutes later…«
The inners and the Starlights had
caught up some. The Starlights found
out that since the time they had left, they scouts had only one enemy to fight,
he had been a really weak one, just trying to find someone to pick a fight
with. Nothing too major. The inners found out from the Starlights
that Kinmokusei had been rebuilt and was better than ever. They also found out that the princess had
allowed them to come back to Earth, for however long they wanted to stay. There were hundreds of senshi who had been
returned after Galaxia had been saved.
Rei woke up about three hours
later. It was about one o'clock pm, and
no one had eaten. They all ate a quick
meal and chatted for another hour. When the Starlights and Usagi were about to leave, they all heard a loud
scream.
"AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
demon!! There's a demon out here! Help me!! "
Usagi: Minna henshi now! (late news, everyone has
'star power, new attacks, though.)
Ami: "Mercury
Star Power!"
Taiki: "Maker
Star Power!
Mina: "Venus
Star Power!"
Yaten: "Healer Star Power!"
Mako: "Jupiter Star Power!"
Rei: "Mars
Star Power!"
Usagi: "Moonlight Star Power!"
Seiya: "Fighter
Star Power!"
All: "Make
Up!"
As everyone said their henshi, Ami's
and Taiki's transformations, somehow intertwined with one another. Each came out with a completely new
fuku. Ami's was blue mixed with golden
star imprints and roses.
Taiki's
was almost the same as before, except his/her leather fuku was black and gold
imprinted with the symbol for Mercury imprinted between the wings on the fuku.
Mina's and Yaten's transformations
intertwined together as well. Mina's
fuku was yellow mixed with white star imprints and roses. Yaten's was his/her original leather fuku,
except the color was a light tinge of gold streaked with black, with the symbol
for Venus imprinted between the wings on the fuku.
Usagi's and Seiya's transformations,
however, was slightly different. As
they transformed back to back, Usagi's fuku became the color of the palest hue
of pink, with a dark red rose right between the white wings on her chest. Her odangos had a red rose right in the
center of the buns. Seiya's fuku
became a dark red, almost as dark as his/her previous color of black, but with
a symbol of an intertwining star with a moon and rose in between the white
wings on his/her chest. Their henshin
was almost the same as to that of Ami's and Taiki, and Mina and Yaten, except
for one tiny difference…. They GLOWED.
