Chapter 7: Hope

"Hope Elizabeth, Faith Danielle get in here now!" Michiru demanded.

The two girls quickly ran in to see what was bothering their mother. "What's wrong Michiru-mama?" Faith asked.

"Which one of you took my diamond necklace? I need it for my upcoming concert," Michiru said.

"I didn't do it, I swear Michiru-mama. You know I don't like jewelry, that's too girly," Faith said sticking her tongue out in disgust.

"I didn't do it either. I saw you put it back in your jewelry box last night. If it's gone I don't know where it could be," Hope said.

"That's right you did see me put it up last night. We've had trouble with you stealing before Hope, so why don't you spare yourself some trouble and tell me where the necklace is now," Michiru said.

"What's the problem?" Haruka said as she entered the room.

"Hope is stealing again, this time it was my diamond necklace," Michiru said.

"But I didn't do it, honest. I wouldn't steal that, I know how much it means to you Michiru-mama," Hope pleaded.

"I'm sorry Hope, but I don't believe you. Until you give me back my necklace you are grounded to your room. You are to come straight home after school and go to your room. You will have no TV, phone or friends over. The only time you are out of your room is for bathing, using the bathroom, going to school, or going to dinner with us," Michiru said. "Now head to your room."

"But I swear I didn't take it," Hope said crying.

"You heard your mother, now go to your room before I give you a swat," Haruka said.

Hope ran to her room and slammed the door shut. She went to her bed and lied down still crying. "I wish I was dead. That would show them," she pouted.

"Are you sure you want to die? Because if you do I can arrange it," a voice said.

"Who's there?" Hope said, gripping her transformation pen.

"Relax it's just me," Tori said appearing.

"Tori! I'm so glad to see you. What did you mean when you said that you could arrange for me to die?" Hope asked.

"Simple, I'll show you what life would be like if you killed yourself right now," Tori said. "Just step through this portal."

Hope looked at the portal then shrugged and jumped in. She looked around saw she was in her room. "We didn't go anywhere," Hope said.

"Just look at the window first," Tori said.

Hope looked over and saw herself standing in the window ready to jump. Faith entered the room and saw Hope as she jumped from the window. "Nooooo! URANUS POWER MAKE UP!"

Faith quickly transformed and ran to the window to try and catch her sister. She reached out and caught Hope's shirt. "Let me go Faith," Hope demanded.

"No way," Faith said straining.

Just before she got Hope back in her shirt tore and Faith lost her grip. Hope quickly fell to the ground and hit with a sickening thud. Annika who happened to be outside just as Hope fell, let out an ear-piercing scream.

Raye quickly came out to see what was wrong. She ran up to Annika. "What's wrong honey?" Raye asked.

Annika pointed towards the palace and Raye looked. What she saw horrified her. Hope was lying on the ground with her neck broken. "Oh kami-sama," Raye said bringing her hand up to her mouth.

"Annika go inside now, and get Aunt Amy," Raye demanded.

Annika obeyed and took off immediately. When Ami came out a look of horror overtook her too. "Raye do you know what happened?" Ami asked.

"No, I just heard Annika scream and I came out to see what was wrong. When I asked her, she just pointed towards Hope. That's when I sent her in to get you," Raye said.

"We need to tell Haruka and Michiru, although I'm not sure as to how I'm going to do it," Ami said.

Just then they heard another shriek. They turned to see Michiru, unconcious, in Haruka's arms. "What happened to Hope?" Haruka demanded.

"It looks like she fell out of her room and broke her neck. I'm so sorry Haruka, but she died on impact," Ami said.

"No, not Hope," Haruka said crying.

"Raye and Ami escorted Haruka and Michiru back to their quarters. There they saw Faith coming out of their bedroom in senshi form. "Faith what happened, why are you transformed?" Haruka asked.

"I don't know, one minute I'm going to get my baseball mitt and the next I was transformed," Faith said.

"Faith we have some bad news for you, Hope died. She fell out of your bedroom window and hit the ground," Haruka said.

"Who's Hope?" Faith asked.

"Hope's your sister..." Haruka began.

"But I don't have a sister. You two found me on your doorstep, remember. I was all alone in that basket," Faith said.

"No, you were with your sister..." Harauka began again.

"I already told you, I don't have a sister," Faith said.

"Haruka, I think Faith has gone into shock. I think she saw Hope jump and she transformed to try and save her. When she didn't I think her mind blocked all memories of Hope," Ami said.

"I don't like this Tori. My own sister doesn't even remember me. Can we go somewhere else?" Hope asked.

"Yes we can. Just hold my hand and we'll be off," Tori said.

They teleported to Ami's office, where she was holding a session with Annika. "Now Annika, how do you feel today?" Ami asked.

"I don't feel good. I'm still sad about Hope. I saw her fall and hit. It was really scary," Annika said. "Aunt Ami, can I go home now, I wanna be with mama."

"Yes, you can. As soon as I talk with mama," Ami said as Raye entered the room. "Raye I need to talk to you. It's been nearly a year and Annika has shown no improvement," Ami began.

"I know Ami, it's affected her everywhere, we had to hold her back a year because she was gone from school for so long," Raye said.

"I'm afraid it's about to get worse. Raye, I didn't want to do this, but I need to admit Annika into the hospital for treatment. I'll allow you to come and teach her along with myself for a few hours a day. Is this acceptable with you?" Ami asked.

"Ami, quite frankly no it isn't, but knowing you, you still have that damn sheet saying that you can admit her with or without my agreement. So I guess I'll have to go along with you on this one," Raye said.

"I never thought about anyone seeing me die. I was just thinking about getting revenge on Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama. Tori, this is so awful, I want to go home," Hope said.

"Done, just go through this portal and you'll be back home. By the way, I think they'll have a surprise for you when you get there," Tori said smiling.

Hope ran through the portal and back into her room. She laid back down on her bed to wait until supper time and think about what she had seen. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door.

Michiru came in and went to her bed. "Hope, I'm so sorry for accusing you of stealing my necklace. I found it in one of my other jewelry boxes. Will you forgive me?" Michiru asked.

Hope thought about it for a moment then said, "Hai, I forgive you Michiru-mama. I need to talk to you too," Hope began.

She told her of what had happened and Michiru listened, although a little shocked. "I'm going to schedule you an appointment with Aunt Ami. I think you need to talk to her about this too," Michiru began. "In the mean time, why don't we go practice. I'll even include a little duet for us in the concert next week."
