Flowers
by Dootsie Bug (AKA Amanda Harper)
Zoicite sat alone in her quarters, wondering what was
going on. Freckles? How did freckles appear on her
spotless face? She shook her head.
"There is one thing to
do.", she sighed. She ran to her closet, and yanked
out her one coctail dress. She sighed, tying her hair in
a bun, puting a scarf over it, and slipping into her
cheeziest accessories. As she perfected her New York
accent, she teleported herself to the nearest Negaverse
drug store. She slipped on her sunglasses, and browsed
around looking for the precious box.
"You got any Evil Lady
Freckle Remova?", she asked, chomping her gum like a
real New Yorker.
"Here you go!", he
smiled from behind the register.
She paid, then slid her
sunglasses down and winked at him. He blushed, pushing
back a rougue piece of brown hair. She laughed, stepping
out, shaking her butt and noticing him stare. (Hey! A
girl can have fun!)
She teleported back to her
quarters, where she applied the mixture.What she didn't
do was read the warnings before going into the courtroom
when Beryl called her:
1) Youma breath causes
horrible reactions
2) Roses tend to cause even
worse reactions
3) NEVER NEVER NEVER see your
lover with it on!
She teleported into the
courtroom, holding a fan over her face, surrounded in
rose petals. She landed, and they disappeared, but had
done their damage.
"We actually aren't getting
crystals today.", Malachite smiled.
"No, we aren't. Today, I'm
just asking that you collect energy. We'll get the
crystal tonight, so that the scouts will be
asleep.",
Beryl sighed, leaning back.
Zoicite nodded. "Shall we
pick our youma?", she asked, winking at Malachite.
He nodded, and they turned to
the sea of youma. "You. You'll do."
"No! Too weak. How about
him?", she asked. He was a pretty cute human in
life...
"No, she's much
prettier.", Mal shook his head.
"Mal! I thought--"
"You are. Much more. Just
not in front of her.", he whispered, giving her a
pink rose.
She smiled behind her fan,
taking the rose. She smelled it.
"But I will settle for
him.", he smiled, winking.
She nodded. "Youma
Antagony, come forth!"
He stepped forward, bowing.
"At your service, my beautiful lady.", he said,
kissing her hand.
Malachite quickly swatted him
upside the head, and he stood. "Who are my victims?
I should hope the Sailor Scouts, since they're such good
chums!"
"Yes, Antagony. Your
targets are the Sailor Scouts. Secretly make them
enemies, then collect energy. This will bebenift us
all.", Zoicite instructed.
He nodded, then was gone. Her
face felt like it was on fire.
"Excuse me.", she
said, teleporting to her quarters.
She looked into the mirror, and
gasped. It looked at though she had leopard blood running
through her veins. She threw herself back on the bed and
sobbed.
A knock sounded at the door, and
she panicked. "Who is is?", she asked, stifling
a sob.
"It's Mal.", he spoke.
She grabbed her fan, then said,
"Come in!"
He walked in, then sat down on
the edge of the bed. "What's wrong?"
"N-nothing!"
He stood up, looked down at her,
then took her fan in a quick jerk. She bacame as red as
she could from behind the leopard spots.
"Go away! You shouldn't see
me like this! I'm a Leopard Woman!", she sobbed.
"Zoi, there are all sorts
of flowers in the Universe, and they are all different,
yet beautiful.", he said, smoothing her hair.
"I'VE NEVER SEEN A FLOWER
WITH FRECKLES!!!!!!! GO AWAY!", she screamed.
He nodded. He teleported out.
Zoicite ended up crying herself
to sleep. She didn't know where he had found it, because
they weren't at all common in the Negaverse. She was sure
he put it there. But when she woke up the next morning,
next to her, on her pillow, was a Tiger Lily.
