Fat Over-paid Mascot: Konichi wa, minna! Guess what, we have a name change!
Umi-chan: Name change? Oh yeah, it was my idea!
Kagura-chan: Baka! Cleaver-chan is never that stupid! I love you, Cleaver-chan!
Umi: Oh really? You're talking to a Golden Sword!
Fat Over-paid Mascot: Ahem! Now, Sailor Sagittarius is named Hikarino Namida!(tears of light). So what's going on in your lives? I got a pedicure. And I now, I own sailor moon stars.
Umi-chan: how much do we pay her?
Kagura-chan: We? We? She's my mascot! I'm the one taking her out to pee every four hours (rolls eyes).
Umi-chan: me wuv my killer/attack cat (screams and smacks herself)
Fat Over-paid Mascot: her cat currently possesses Umi-chan. On another note, has anyone wondered how they are able to write in straight jackets?
Kagura-chan/Umi-chan: we are soooooooooooo twisted!

Episode two (section a): Sailor Senshi Meeting? A Useless Attempt.
Usagi awoke the next morning to her communicator going off. Groaning, she sat up and looked around the room she was in. It took her a second to register the fact that she was in one of Rei's guest rooms, and the fact that her communicator was still beeping. Flipping the cover up, she responded with a short, annoyed and sleepy, "Hai."
"Usagi-chan! Ohayo!" Only one voice could be that cheerful in the morning.
"Ohayo, Ai-chan," Usagi responded, wishing she could share her friend's morning enthusiasm.
"Anno, you're probably wondering why I called," Ai said, still hyper.
What was getting Ai so excited at this hour of the morning? "The thought had crossed my mind," said Usagi, still too groggy to be nice and cheerful.
"Well I just thought I'd let you know that Umi-tachi got in this morning and I'm going to go pick them up. Sayonara!"
* * *
Ai closed the link and got off the highway. Heading towards the airport she began looking for a parking spot close to the terminal the girls would be using. Finding the needed spot, she got out of her yellow-gold jeep and ran into the building. She got to the terminal just as the girls stepped out. She ran toward them yelling, "Welcome back!"
* * *
ten minutes earlier
'Mercury-san, wake-up we're almost there.'
Umi groaned and sat up straight in her seat and looked around for the speaker, but her friends were all asleep. "Who's there?" she queried still looking around.
'Don't bother speaking aloud. I'm in your head after all.' The speaker said as Umi finally realized who was in her head.
'You,' she thought maliciously, 'You're Sagittarius aren't you?'
The voice laughed, 'They're right when they say the Silver Senshi aren't fools, demo here I have no name.'
'How in hell are you in my mind?!'
'Why Mercury-san I thought that was obvious. The scar should help it make sense. Your arm is marred for life.'
Umi looked down at the scars on her forearm and to her horror saw that it was glowing a sickly, acid green. Realization dawned on Umi as she began to sputter in rage, 'Your attack connected you to me!'
More laughter was heard, 'My, you are smart, demo I guess I should expect nothing less from the beautiful leader of the Silver Senshi. I have a feeling we'll be getting to know each other better, a lot better.' Then the connection was gone and Umi just sat there shaking.
Tsunami stirred and looked to her friend, "Kami-sama, Umi-chan, What's the matter?"
When Umi didn't respond, Tsunami reached over and smacked her across the cheek bringing her back to Earth. "Tsunami! What the hell did you do that for?!" Umi half yelled.
"To bring your wandering, hopeless soul back to earth of course," Tenshi said with a snicker. "Were you dreaming about a night with golden boy?"
"No I don't think she would be shaking like she was, I mean she looked possessed or something," Tsunami murmured looking at her friend with concern.
Umi shook her head, "It was nothing, minna, it was just a bad yume."
'I'm with you Umi-chan, whether you like it or not.'
* * *
Kagura watched her rival descend to the ground, and grabbed her wrist tightly. "I can't believe you flew on one of those! Baka!"
Namida blinked her eyes, and wrenched her arm away. "You know, I had to bring him back," she said jerking her thumb over her shoulder. "You owe, me Kagura-chan; I had to sit next to him. He's such a womanizer!"
A young man with gold hair stepped to their sides, and glared at Kagura. "I see you have no respect for the dead."
"When have I ever?"
They walked to the doorway of the airport, making sure to keep themselves inconspicuous. "Kagura-san, are you going to do it? I mean, it's such a price to pay to bring back someone like Gabriel?"
"Yeah, I'll be the one doin' it. Thank Kami-sama, I won't have to risk what earth people do. That's got to be painful."
* * *
Umi, Himiko, and Kaze sprinted back to the plane. "What did she leave on it, Mi-chan?"
Hair streaming, Umi grunted and ran faster. "The airhead left her purse in the entrance!"
They raced faster, and it seemed that they would never make it to the waiting area. Umi looked back to see where her friends were. It was only a matter of moments, but it was one of the most embarrassing in Umi's life. She turned just in time to see the golden boy, and slam full force into him and the girls behind him. "AAAAGGGGGHHHH!"
* * *
Namida flew back with the force, smashed under the body of the assailant. "Nani kuso!? Baka, watch where you're go…"
Lying directly on top of her was a gorgeous blue-haired girl. She was slightly bent over Namida, who reached up and caressed the face, her eyes traveling along the shoulders and down the right arm. Lightning scars flashed down the length of her forearm, and Namida smirked devilishly. The girl blushed profusely.
Meanwhile, Gabriel pulled the girl up by the waist, and turned her around. She squirmed, as he pulled her up by her pants. "Aren't you awfully young to be toppling other women?"
Himiko, pulled up in time to hear him, and doubled over with laughter. "You're a lesbian?"
Umi stared up at her fiery friend. "You know, you've always been the apple in my eye," she whispered lustily. "How 'bout a date you sexy thing?" Umi placed a slender hand on Himiko's shoulder.
Kaze slapped her knees, and fell to the ground in hysterical mirth. Himiko shivered, and slowly stepped from her deranged friend. "You need to find a support group. No offense Kaze-chan."
Umi ran a hand through her tangled hair. "Oh crap! My hair's all knotted."
All of a sudden Kaze was next to her, a brush clutched in her hand. "Umi-chan," she murmured. "Allow me to fix your problems."
"If you don't leave me alone, I'll shave my head."
The group of foreigners laughed at the girls. The one with orange hair stood up, adjusting her black pants and smoothing her black t-shirt. She addressed Umi with a smile. "Watashi wa, Kagura. I couldn't help noticing, but I feel a strong energy from you. By any chance are you a Scorpio?"
"Hai! Watashi wa, Yukino Umi. How did you know my sign?"
The tall blond stepped forward, placing a hand on Gabriel's arm, gesturing for him to set Umi down. As Umi flopped to the linoleum, her rescuer helped her up. "Arigato…anno…"
Gabriel smiled down at Namida. "Namida," he said, bending to her height. "Gabriel," he leered, pointing at his chest.
Kagura tucked her arm through his. "Womanizer," she whispered. "We'll be seeing you."
Gabriel smiled handsomely. "I'll meet you at the movies tonight. Be there at seven. Onegai, don't wear that ugly thing."
Umi frowned on her baggy, navy blue shirt. Her fist shot out, catching him in the stomach. Yet, as he doubled over, he rasped out, "I'll take that as a yes, Mi-chan," and kissed her on the forehead. It was soft and warm, filling her. Though instantaneous, it told her so many things. Many, many things.
"H-hai!"
* * *
Once they were outside, Namida pinned Gabriel to the wall, gritting her teeth in anger. "You stay away from her. She's mine. Her mind belongs to me. Her body belongs to me."
Gabriel couldn't help letting out a little laugh. "I don't think she swings that way, Nami-san."
Kagura placidly rested her yellow orbs upon the two. "Yamete, Namida. You're over-reacting. This is ridiculous, you two, and I can't believe you're both fighting over this bishoujo."
Namida strode over to her, a relaxed smile on her face. "Not just any bishoujo, Kagura-chan."
Gabriel's head shot up. "Nani?"
Namida let small, smooth chuckle escape her throat. Gesturing at her mouth, she made a small turning motion. "That's my secret, Gabriel."
* * *
Hotaru flipped through the pages of the tome, the dark pages emanating an archaic energy. It was odd for the young girl to be alone this early in the day. She knew her sister was back, but it didn't seem like another person's company was that important. Darkness and solitude was more fitting for her. She understood it. But the darkness held more for Tomoe Hotaru, than she could ever imagine.
* * *
Nobody was listening at all. But then again, when Rei was speaking, people allowed their minds to wander. A lecture from Rei was torture. "Get on with it, onee-chan," Himiko drawled. "We have more important things to do."
Makoto glowered at Himiko. "You know, for a sister, you are a real brat."
Everyone watched the tension build. Usagi bit her fingernails, while Kaze and Tenshi cheered Himiko. "You're the ones who condemned us for what we are. You have no room to talk," Kaze gritted.
Ami stood up. 'always the peacemaker' Umi thought.
"We had every right to condemn you. You were evil, and tried to destroy our princess. If anyone should be angry, it's…"
POW! Umi flew across the room and right hooked Ami in the face. The stunned girl-genius raised a hand to her bleeding nose. "You, you…"
"Bitch?"
Usagi whimpered, tears streaming down her face. "Why, why, why?"
Umi couldn't help but feel sorry. She knew how sensitive this girl was, but she could not allow this insulting to go on. "We have to go. If you ever decide to have a real meeting, don't tell us. We wouldn't come anyway."
* * *
Haruka stroked Umi's hair back from her face. "I'm not very good at this. Hair never was my specialty."
"I know, but I don't care. I want your personal opinion on how I look."
"So how do I fit into this?"
"Well, you're closer to a guy, than most men. Anno, no offense."
Haruka pulled her hair into a braid. "I personally like Michiru's hair braided. But, it's also nice loose, like when we are…relaxing."
Umi giggled. "Oh!"
* * *
Gabriel listened to the phone ring, tapping his foot nervously. "Is Mi-chan there?" he asked as the phone picked up.
"Hai!" Umi cried. "Yaaahhhhh! Don't pull my hair, Kaze-chan!"
" Moshi, moshi?" Himiko blurted.
"Moshi, it's Gabriel."
Himiko bellowed. "Oh, Kami-sama, minna. The golden boy called!"
"What did I do to deserve this?" Umi muttered, darkly. "Himiko! Get the HELL off the phone!"
Gabriel laughed. "You're late for the movie."
Umi nearly died. Himiko was, as usual full of words. "BAKA! You forgot your date with golden boy? The world is coming to an end."
"Gabriel-kun, gomen nasai!"
"I'll pick you up, okay?"
"You don't even know where…"
"Oh, I have a good idea."
* * *
Michiru lowered her sunglasses, and looked across the street. Haruka had insisted that they follow Umi on her date. Of course, when Usagi got word of this she decided she must follow too. Well, if Usagi was going, so were the Silver Senshi.
Kaze dragged her hands through Usagi's golden tresses. "Oh, my pretty Usa-chan, your hair is so beautiful."
"Haruka-san, I'm glad you called us."
Himiko looked at Umi, enviously. "How come she gets golden boy?"
"She's amazingly beautiful. What do you think you are?" Tenshi purred. "Though, after what I heard earlier, I would think that your taste might take a curve."
"I am not a lesbian."
Haruka glanced into her rear-view mirror. "What's wrong that?"
"Anno?"
Kaze jumped up. "Quiet. They're moving. Onee-chan, follow that car!"
"I've always wanted to hear that!"
The yellow convertible roared to life, and they zipped down the street.
* * *
Gabriel slid next to Umi, in the front seat. Umi could only fiddle with the long braid hanging over her shoulder. This situation was so uncomfortable, he couldn't believe his luck! She was so unpracticed, that this would be a piece of cake (for want of a better term). "Mi-chan," he murmured, nuzzling her neck.
"Anno," she said, stroking the braid. "If you're going to kiss me, don't. I want my first kiss to be special."
He stopped and looked at her. "You've never been kissed?"
"Hai."
Gabriel grabbed her chin, turning her to face him. "How could a beautiful, sweet woman like you, never have been kissed?"
Umi gave him a sidelong glance. "When a guy likes you so much, that he tries to steal your love from you, you learn to be wary."
"I would never try to steal 'anything' from you."
* * *
"Oh Kami-sama. They're talking sex," Himiko hissed, peeking through the back window.
Kaze was astonished. "Since when can you lip read?"
"Who said anything about lip-reading? I'm making this up as I go along!"
Tsunami bashed a fist down. "Why don't you use your amazing powers of 'hearing'."
Haruka shook her head. "She may hear it, demo there's nothing between her ears to register the noise."
* * *
Gabriel hooked his fingers under the strap of Umi's shirt, sliding it down her shoulder. She blushed and pulled it back up, her hand stroking the back of his in the attempt. "You may get it from other girls, demo you won't be getting it here."
"Who said I was trying?"
It disarmed her momentarily. Who said he was? Why was she always so uptight around guys? They weren't that bad. She mentally slapped herself. She had to stop thinking like this. "Why don't we go for a walk?"
Gabriel looked a little disappointed. That trick usually worked! "Hai."
* * *
Tsunami thrust her blue fan into the air. "Go Umi-chan! You show him who's in charge."
Himiko was more emotional, as tears cascaded from her eyes. "So she's a lesbian after all! He's mine!"
The fan crashed onto her cranium, and Tsunami was glad it was steel. "She's not a lesbian, she just has respect for herself."
Usagi blushed. She didn't know about respect, in Mamo-chan's case.
* * *
Kagura leaned her chin into her palm. "I don't know how she did it, demo she actually didn't get screwed. This a world record."
Namida was not taking this as lightly. "She's mine, mine, mine…" she muttered, again and again.
Kagura looked at her in confusion. Namida was a weirdo. "Kouri should be at the hospital now, looking for likely candidates."
"Mine, mine, mine…"
"You're really sick."
"Mine, mine, mine…"
"I don't believe this. If Tenshi knew what I was doing…"
* * *
Kouri stalked down the hallway. She felt an amazing energy from the room at the end. It was an ice crystal, which was the cause for her magnetism. She would have this crystal.
* * *
Umi was kind of enjoying herself. The moon was out in full, casting silver beams upon the couple. Even the sudden rustle and the sounds of excited females, went unnoticed. They would die later. But, Gabriel was actually quite charming, even here by the lake. The whole parking thing didn't go well with her, but the evening wasn't so bad. "Are you enjoying yourself?"
Umi reached for his hand, but he pulled away. She felt tears spring to her eyes, and retracted her friendly act. "Gomen nasai. Are you angry with me?"
His golden hair shone in the moonlight. Gabriel turned to face her, and she suddenly felt as though she was in the presence of an angel. He radiated warmth that seemed to be held back, emanated loneliness too weak to counter it. "Why won't you let me kiss you?"
Umi-chan: Name change? Oh yeah, it was my idea!
Kagura-chan: Baka! Cleaver-chan is never that stupid! I love you, Cleaver-chan!
Umi: Oh really? You're talking to a Golden Sword!
Fat Over-paid Mascot: Ahem! Now, Sailor Sagittarius is named Hikarino Namida!(tears of light). So what's going on in your lives? I got a pedicure. And I now, I own sailor moon stars.
Umi-chan: how much do we pay her?
Kagura-chan: We? We? She's my mascot! I'm the one taking her out to pee every four hours (rolls eyes).
Umi-chan: me wuv my killer/attack cat (screams and smacks herself)
Fat Over-paid Mascot: her cat currently possesses Umi-chan. On another note, has anyone wondered how they are able to write in straight jackets?
Kagura-chan/Umi-chan: we are soooooooooooo twisted!

It disarmed her momentarily. Who said he was? Why was she always so uptight around guys? They weren't that bad. She mentally slapped herself. She had to stop thinking like this. "Why don't we go for a walk?"
Gabriel looked a little disappointed. That trick usually worked! "Hai."

Tsunami thrust her blue fan into the air. "Go Umi-chan! You show him who's in charge."
Himiko was more emotional, as tears cascaded from her eyes. "So she's a lesbian after all! He's mine!"
The fan crashed onto her cranium, and Tsunami was glad it was steel. "She's not a lesbian, she just has respect for herself."
Usagi blushed. She didn't know about respect, in Mamo-chan's case.

Kagura leaned her chin into her palm. "I don't know how she did it, demo she actually didn't get screwed. This a world record."
Namida was not taking this as lightly. "She's mine, mine, mine…" she muttered, again and again.
Kagura looked at her in confusion. Namida was a weirdo. "Kouri should be at the hospital now, looking for likely candidates."
"Mine, mine, mine…"
"You're really sick."
"Mine, mine, mine…"
"I don't believe this. If Tenshi knew what I was doing…"

Kouri stalked down the hallway. She felt an amazing energy from the room at the end. It was an ice crystal, which was the cause for her magnetism. She would have this crystal.

Umi was kind of enjoying herself. The moon was out in full, casting silver beams upon the couple. Even the sudden rustle and the sounds of excited females, went unnoticed. They would die later. But, Gabriel was actually quite charming, even here by the lake. The whole parking thing didn't go well with her, but the evening wasn't so bad. "Are you enjoying yourself?"
Umi reached for his hand, but he pulled away. She felt tears spring to her eyes, and retracted her friendly act. "Gomen nasai. Are you angry with me?"
His golden hair shone in the moonlight. Gabriel turned to face her, and she suddenly felt as though she was in the presence of an angel. He radiated warmth that seemed to be held back, emanated loneliness too weak to counter it. "Why won't you let me kiss you?"
