WARNING READ THIS.
I'm writting from Terra's perspective. Flash Backs are in third person.
There are a lot of flash backs.
This chapter I decided to do Terra's past in. If anyone here
has not figured out already that Terra was the girl in th prolouge and that
she is Sailor Earth, now you know. There is a reason that Terra Rose calls
herself Rosie in her mind. You'll find out now. All the new characters will
have American names. I just don't have the greatest sources when it comes to
Japanese names. And on the note of names Terra's first name isn't Terra Rose
She does have a Japanese name. I'm just working on it. I'm not making much
sense. It'll all work itself out in due time. Please R&R!!!!

I threw my arms around Motoki and gave him a big hug, " I can't believe
it's really you!"
Motoki was swinging me around when the girls and Mamoru walked in.
"Oh you have no idea how glad he'll be when he sees you."
I looked over to see that the girls and Mo-chan was looking at us funny.
Motoki put me down when he noticed that the others were there.
"This must look funny." I explained, "You see Motoki and I knew each other
when I use to live in Tokyo. You see a friend introduced us we were kinda
a trio.
"The three of us became best friends. Alex, thats our friend, always called
her Angel. Thats how I knew it was her."
"Do you still see Alex?"
"Yeah, man is he gonna be happy to see you again. But he was angry that
you never wrote to us." Motoki couldn't seem to wipe the grin from his
face.
"Please, Motoki-chan, you can't tell him I'm back yet. I want to surprise
him. And what do you mean never wrote. I wrote almost everyday for a year."
"Sorry to tell you, Terri-chan, but we never got your letters. We were angry
at you for awhile. But I'm just so glad to see you again. Alex on the other
hand stayed mad for a long time."
"So why don't you tell me what I've missed."
"I got a girlfriend...."
@-----------Later that day-----------
I walk into my bedroom and throw myself across the bed. Ivy comes up
and lays next to be. She is still in her cat form. So much has happened since
I last saw Alex. I have changed in so many ways yet I still remained the
same in someways. I remember the day we met......
*****FLASHBACK*****
Three boys surrounded a younger boy, age eight, with blond hair and blue
eyes, their fists raised, "You're gonna pay for that."
The boys came at the boy and started punching him. The boy only tried to
shield himself, knowing he was out numbered.
A shawdow came behind the behind the boys, "Leave him alone." The boys turn
around to see a small girl about six with black curly hair and blue eyes.
"And what are you gonna do about it midget?" the biggest boy teased her.
"I'm gonna kick you butt that what."
The boy threw a punch at her. She dodged it and then lodged her elbow in his
stomach and hit him in the eye. He got a punch to her jaw and gave her
a bloody lip. She then puched him in the stomach and then kicked his feet out
from under him. He got up and ran away crying with his two friends behind
him. She wiped her lip with the back of her sleve and walked over to the
blond boy and held out a hand, "Are you okay?" The boy winced as she took
helped him up, "Nothing that won't be healed in awhile. They could have
killed you. Where did you learn to fight like that?"
"My dad taught me and my brother. My names Terra Rose. Whats your's?
"My name is Akemi, but everyone calls me Alex."
"Why do they call you Alex?"
"My fathers name is Akemi too."
"Terra Rose isn't my first name either. My momma was American and my dad
was Japanese so they gave both me and my brother a Japanese first name and
a American middle name. But my brother also wanted to give me a name. My
brother loved roses." Terra looks sad at this.
"So what is you first name?"
*****END OF FLASHBACK*****
He called me Angel since that day. He thought it was fitting.
I wonder if he can still love me. I know he loves me for who I once was but
much has changed since then. The move changed me. Losing him changed me. One
thing that also change me a lot was when Ivy came into my life...
*****NEW FLASHBACK*****
Terra, now ten, is in town at the local ice cream parlor. Suddenly a spider
youma blasts through the doors.
"She's here. I know she is. GIVE ME THE GUARDIAN!" the youma shouts.
The people try to flee, but the youma shoots out a blast of webbing making
the people stick to the walls. Terra crawls behind a counter and hides.
A small ladybug crawls onto Terra.
"Terra Rose listen to me."
"Little bug, you better get out of here the monster might try to hurt you
too."
"Don't worry about me. I am not what I appear to be." The small bug flys off
Terra leg and lands infront of her. It starts to glow and changes shape.
When the glow fades a large silver dog stands infront of Terra. " I was
sent here to guide you small one. My name is Ivy. You must fight this
monster and protect this planet. You have the power. Just say the words
that come to you."
Terra closed her eyes and listened to the world around her.
"EARTH POWER... MAKE-UP!!"
A silvery purple light covered her. The locket Terra wore around her neck
appeared in her hands. A white rose came out of it. She held the rose in
her hand and the petals started to come off the rose and started to swirl
around her, like on a breeze that wasn't there. Terra started to twirl and
spin like a ballerina and the petals covered her body. First the petals
covered her until they made the body and skirt. Then they went to her arms
and legs making gloves and boots. A tiara and earings appeared. The petals
then flew to her face and made a glittery mask of white. She then stopped
spinning and stood in a pose. In the pose she was in front of the Earth
and one hand was up by the corner of her mask holding the white rose and the
other hand was at her side. (AN: The rose's petals came back, reappeared,
whatever)
She jumped up onto the counter. "Stop right there youma. You think you can go
around hurting people. I think not. I am Earth's guardain. I protect her
and all the life that is on this planet. I am Sailor Earth."
*****END OF FLASHBACK*****
I then destroyed the youma all on my own. That was just the start.
I faced many youma. Ivy thought me many things on the ranch I grew up on.
I didn't find it funny that the animal could talk. I had always been able
to talk to anything living and I could heal things with my touch. But then
again, Ivy wasn't a regular animal. She thought me how to use my powers.
But she didn't teach me all fighting and magic.
She thought me the history of my mission. She gave me books but the books
wern't much help. Some couldn't be opened. Some had pages that only showed
the ink when the time was write and some didn't open at all. I started to
remember things from a past life. Not very many things. In that life I was
Sailor Earth also. But all those memories are scattered and broken. Things
are missing in these memories. I remember in that past life I fought the
Black Rose. And with the locket I could become the leader of the Earth
Senshi, Sailor Earth. But first I have to find the Earth Senshi. I remeber
when I first got that locket. It was a gift from my brother. The brother
that was like a best friend, the brother that I lost.
*****FLASHBACK*****
Terra, age four, sits in a rose garden. *It's my birthday and he forgot.
He never forgets my birthday.*
"Rosie, Rosie, where are you." a voice calls.
"I'm here." she calls to the little boys voice. He comes running down the
pathway. She can't make out his face. It is a shawdow. But he has her
black hair.
"I wanted to give this to you. It's your birthday gift." he hands her a small
package wrapped in purple paper. She tears into the paper. she pulls out a
wooden box. Dozens of roses are caved out of the box all tangled into each
other. She opens it, a soft melody starts to play. A melody from long ago.
The inside is crushed velvet and resting on the velvet is a siver antique
locket. She opens it up. But she can't make out the pictures inside.
"Oh thank-you. You're the bestest big brother in the whole world." She
throws her arms around the boy.
"Only the best for my little sister." he plucks a white rose off the bush,
after making sure there are no thorns he puts it in her hair.
*****END OF FLASHBACK*****
If only I could make out his face. With all my memories it seems that
certain things are missing. Faces blured or shawdowed, voices faded and soft.
If only I could get this locket to open then maybe it would be easier to find
him. I start to fiddle with the locket again, trying to open it. Tomorrow I
go to the hospital to see what I can dig up. But still I don't think that
they will be much help. But the hosptial is the best place to start. I roll
off my bed and pull out my paints and a fresh canvas. I'll paint something.
Something from a past. Something from my dreams. Maybe these Sailor Senshi
from the other planets could help me. Find out who I am. Where I belong.
Maybe even help me find the Earth Senshi and the Princess. But then again
I don't know if I can trust them.
