Chapter 7: Nixie's Flashback
Nixie looked at her room. The rest of the soldiers were coming soon for a meeting. Ami was sitting at a desk reading a book. Nixie needed to find a way to get her out of there.
"Hey Ami! Whatcha reading?"
"It's a book about different types of cancer. It's very interesting actually." Ami noticed the ring on Nixie's left hand. "Hey! That's a nice ring you have there! Where did ya get it?"
"Uh…" Nixie had to think of something fast. "Well… uh… you know, it's been so long, I don't remember!"
Ami smiled, "It's ok, I get like that sometimes." She continued reading her book.
Nixie didn't like to lie. But as a Sailor Soldier, she knew what she had to do. She remembered very vividly how and where she got that ring…
*Flashback*Right before the battles with Galaxia…
Nixie looked at her new school. Her mother passed away and she was forced to move to her father's penthouse in NYC.
"Well, no time like the present," she said as she entered the building.
Nixie promised herself not to be quiet. She would be her normal fun loving self. 'If only I knew someone…' she said to herself.
Upon entering the school, Nixie looked around to take in her surroundings, until she was knocked over. "Oh I'm so sorry!" Nixie said as she tried to recollect her books.
"Don't be," a male voice said. "It was my fault. I should have been watching where I was going."
Nixie looked up and saw who had bumped into her. He was tall and had dark, straight hair and blue eyes. "So you're new?" he asked.
"Yeah," she responded. Nixie didn't think she'd ever seen anyone more gorgeous before in her entire life. "Uh… can you show me where the main office is?"
"Certainly. Go straight down this hall and make your first left. It's the second door on the right."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." He started to walk away.
"Tell him your name you idiot!" her inner voice commanded. "Um… my name is Nixie!" she yelled out to him.
He turned around. "Well welcome Nixie! I'm Sebastian."
"Sebastian," she thought as she stared at him. "What a beautiful name!"
As Nixie stared at Sebastian, a girl with shoulder length blond hair walked up to her. "That's Sebastian O'Brien. He's the quarterback of the football team, the number one student in the junior class and my boyfriend!" She gave Nixie an evil stare. "Stay away from him if you don't want to get hurt!" She walked away from Nixie.
"Great! My first day at a new school and already I'm getting death threats!"

Nixie entered her first class. It was Geometry. 'Good!' Nixie thought. 'A class I don't need to worry about being behind the class.' Nixie had always been ahead of the class in math. At her old school, her friends called her the ditzy brain cause she always acted like a ditz even though she was one of the smartest in the school if not THE smartest. Nixie sat in the first open seat she could find.
"Hello, my name is Adelaide," said a girl with long, jet-black hair and blue eyes. "But you can call me Addy!" She thrust out her hand.
Nixie shook her hand. "I'm Nixie. Pleased to meet ya!"
"So you're new, eh?"
"Yeah… It's so hard getting used to new surrounding."
"Oh I can't even imagine! It must be tough… Hey! You know, I'm meeting some of my friends later, would you like to join us? We'll help ya get used to the area!"
Nixie was ecstatic that she made a new friend so quickly. "Yes! I would love that! Thank you!"
* * *
Nixie walked out of her last class hoping to get a glimpse of Sebastian once more before she left. As she turned the corner to get to her locker, she saw him kissing his girlfriend. Nixie stepped back and desperately held back her tears as she tried to find Addy.
* * *
"So where are we going Addy?" Nixie asked curiously.
"Time Square! Sometimes we go if MTV has a good artist there. You see, Briana's mom works at the studio and can get us in whenever we want!"
"Really? You can do that Briana?"
The girl next to Addy with short reddish hair spoke, "Of course! It's fun!"
"So who's there today?" Nixie asked.
"You won't believe this… the Three Lights!"
Nixie's eyes widened. "Really?! That's amazing!" She continued to herself, "At least something good is going to happen today!" While walking, Nixie noticed something on the ground. "Hey what's this?" It was a ring with a light blue stone on it. A bluebell was engraved into it. "I wonder who it could belong to…"
Addy looked at the ring on her finger, "Um… well finder's keepers! It doesn't look like an expensive ring Nixie… why don't you keep it?" She slipped it on Nixie's left pointer finger.
"Really you think I should?"
"Definitely! Now let's hurry or we'll be late!"
* * *
"That was a great show!" Nixie said as they were leaving the studio. "Too bad that Briana had to stay with her mom and not join us for ice cream…"
"Yeah but hey, this way we can get to know each other better…" Addy was interrupted by screams.
"What was that?" Nixie asked.
"I dunno." Addy runs and disappears before Nixie could catch up to her.
"Addy! Where are you?" She followed the sounds of the screams and spotted a girl in a sailor outfit fighting a monster. On the side, Briana was lying unconscious. Nixie ran to her. "Briana wake up! Wake up!" She got no response. "Well she'll be okay, at least she's breathing!" Nixie stared in awe at the sailor soldier. 'Wow! She's amazing… I wonder who…' Her thoughts were interrupted by a nearby voice.
"Nixie! It is your destiny to help Sailor Rose fight against injustice!" Nixie looked to see a cat with golden fur and a silhouette of a rose on its forehead talking to her.
"Ok… I must be dreaming cause a cat is talking to me!"
"Nixie! You are Sailor Bluebell! Now touch that ring and shout, "Bluebell power, transform!"
Nixie didn't think twice. Somehow, she knew that the cat was right. In her heart, it all seemed like she was destined to do this. "BLUEBELL POWER…TRANSFORM!" Within seconds, she transformed into Sailor Bluebell. "BLUEBELL ICE STORM!" A wave of ice hit the monster. "Now Sailor Rose!"
"HEALING ROSE TERMINATION!" The monster was destroyed by Sailor Rose's beam.
"Wow! Sailor Bluebell!" Sailor Rose hugged her new partner. "Glad to have you on the team!"
*End Flashback*
"How am I ever going to get her out of the house?" Nixie thought. Suddenly the phone rang. "Hello? Hold on one sec, Usagi! It's for you, Ami!" She handed the phone to Ami.
"Yes? Ok, I'll be right there!" She hung up the phone. "Sorry Nixie, but my friends all want to meet right now. I'll be back soon though!"
"No problem! This is just what I need!"
"What was that?" Ami asked.
"Oh, nothing. Take all of the time you need!" As Ami left, Nixie called Addy. "Ok Addy, it's clear to come over!"
