Chapter 5: The End of School
Sarah came running up to the school when Dr. Haruna stopped her. Sarah was a bit surprised because when she had told the doctor that she wasn't able to find the hacker the doctor fumed for weeks. She gazed up to the principal and smiled softly.
"Hello Dr. Haruna, how are you?" Sarah asked as sweetly as possible even though she wanted to kill the bitch.
The doctor just shook her head and had a sad look on her face. "I will miss you after today Sarah. Since today is the last day of school, I will no longer see you and be able to ask for your help with things."
Cringing inward Sarah put a hand on the doctor's shoulder, "I think you can survive." With that Sarah ran off and saw Jewel and Katy sitting on the steps to the school waiting for her. Sarah ran up the stairs two at a time and shouted when she got to the top, "TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! YEE HAW!" She blushed and sat down next to Jewel and Katy as they giggled.
"Sarah, Sarah, Sarah," Katy said as she shook her head, "I would have never thought…"
They all giggled and were happy because that day they could run around the school and do pretty much whatever. The three of them decided to stick together and use Sarah's key to the teacher's lounge. They knew that all of the teachers would have to be in their classes to say good-bye and sign yearbooks so they couldn't get into any trouble.
Tiptoeing to the lounge Sarah opened it and shut it again, locking it from the inside. The two others who had never been in the teachers lounge before gasped and looked at the food, coffee, and soda machines. Jewel stepped up and touched the food machine.
"It's real!" she took a look closer, "And it's free! Heaven!" She hit the buttons for a Snickers bar and grabbed it up when it hit the tray. She unwrapped it and sighed with the first bite.
Sarah just looked from Jewel to Katy and shook her head, "You would think the girl never ate ever!"
They giggled and sat down on the plush cushions. They just sat there and sighed. Jewel soon fell asleep so Sarah and Katy began to play chess.
"Check," Katy said.
Sarah moved a piece, "Check and mate."
Katy laughed and they played again.
Jewel smiled in her sleep and said softly, but loud enough to be heard, "I love you Endymion."
Katy and Sarah looked to each other with raised eyebrows. Katy slunk over to Jewel and whispered, "Who is Endymion?"
"He is my love," Jewel sighed and began to talk again. "He is also Mamoru, we fell in love again and got married."
Katy giggled as Sarah shushed her to be quiet. Jewel suddenly flickered her eyes open and yawned. "I had a funny dream. I will have to tell it to you guys later, but now," she paused for effect, "it is time to power up, and get some more food!"
They all giggled and got some free food from the food machine. Luna suddenly showed up in the window and they opened it for her. She gingerly stepped in as the three of them looked at her wide eyed.
"How- how did you know we were going to be here?" Katy stammered.
Luna laughed and replied simply, "I traced your communicators."
They giggled and sat down feeling very good. Sarah then voiced her thoughts, "I wonder if Jeafenty is the only one out there, or if there are others."
Sighing Luna looked to them, "There must be others. I doubt that you would have been re-awoken if there is only one enemy."
The girls shrugged and sighed. "Well," Jewel remarked, "at least we can enjoy peace while it lasts." They all agreed and soon enough it was the end of the day. They walked out of the teachers' lounge and out of the school.
"To the school we never have to see again!" Jewel stated. The other girls and people around them laughed. "Good-bye dear friend, I hope I never have to see you again!" Jewel laughed and hugged all of her friends and slung Luna over her shoulder. Humming 'Do Your Ears Hang Low' Jewel skipped down the road and into the fortune shop.
Debbie was there laughing on the phone, she hung the phone up when she saw her friends enter the shop. "I pretend I am on the phone so no one bothers me," Debbie explained when she saw the looks her friends gave her. The ones that say, 'What drug are you on?'
They nodded and plopped down on the beanbag chairs. They talked about how glad they where that school was over and they laughed about teachers and people. Deciding to go to the arcade they got up and Debbie told her grandfather she was leaving. They stepped out in to the sun and laughed when Jewel saw a sale across the street for shoes.
Walking backwards and facing Katy, Debbie, and Luna, she gabbed, "I really wish that we could find out who Tuxedo Mask is…" She sighed and felt her butt hit something. She turned around and saw that she had bumped into Alex Shields. Having a flashback of the bus ride in the evening, she blushed.
"Hey, shouldn't you be in school?" he asked her.
"Geesh, get off my back Alex! Today was the end of the school year, hello!" Jewel frowned when she saw him look surprised.
"It is?"
She nodded, "Yeah, doesn't New Quarter get out today?"
Alex blushed, "You are right, it did. I guess it just flew out of my head."
"I know the feeling," Jewel looked over at her friends and saw them giggling. "What?"
Sarah whispered when Alex left, "He likes you! He turned all red when he saw that it was you who bumped into him, and he wouldn't stop smiling!"
Gagging, Jewel dragged them into the arcade. "Yeah right!" They waved to Jason and they each sat at the games they liked. Jewel flew to the Sailor V game and was determined to beet Sarah's high score. "I will get this!" she said threw clenched teeth.
Jason came by Jewel and stood over her. Giving her a slight hug he walked over to Sarah. Jewel stopped her game and looked at Jason's back. 'Could he be Tuxedo Mask?'
