days before it comes out!! I just love screening passes. It kicked ass, bhe way. Anyway, here's chapter three. Hope you enjoy. And btw, I
noticed that after I posted this on FanFiction.net, there were a lot opelling errors that aren't here on my computer. Odd... very odd. Just tet you know, I'm not so stupid that I'd make all those errors. Anyways...
Onwards!

"We're here to see Kino Makoto," Rei said to the woman at the front desk.

"Third floor, at the end of the hall, room number 345," said thoman, and went back to talking on the phone. The five rode the elevatop, and walked to the end of the hall. The door to room 345 was opelightly, and Usagi heard soft murmering. She slammed the door open.but nne was there. The window was open, and the curtains fluttered in thind. Mako was lying in bed, pale as a ghost, her eyes closed.

"Usagi?" She turned to see her friends looking at her, slightlorried. She smiled.

"Sorry. I thought I heard something.but it was probably just thind." Usagi walked in, followed by Mamoru and the other three Senshi.
Usagi pulled a chair up beside Mako's bed, and sat down. She brushed trand of hair back from her friend's face. Usagi noticed something in
Mako's hand.

"Maybe.maybe it *was* the wind." Usagi thought. Clutched in Mako'and was a few strands of dark, forest green hair, some teal hair, blacair, and blonde hair, wrapped in a white ribbon. "The wind.Haruka.yoere here too.weren't you."

"Usagi." Rei's voice snapped Usagi out of her thoughts. Mako haoved, and her green eyes were opening slightly. Her hand clenched onthe hair and then relaxed. Usagi discreetly slipped it out of her fist.

"S.Sailor Moon."Mako murmured as her eyes slid open. Her gaze feln Usagi. "Usagi-chan?"

"Mako-chan! You're awake! Oh, thank goodness!" Usagi clenched
Mako's hand and gave her a gentle hug. Rei quickly wiped tears away anmiled. Minako took Rei's hand and smiled as Ami knelt down and Mako'ther hand.

"We're glad you're back, Mako," said Mamoru, smiling. He rested hiand on Usagi's shoulder.

"I had the strangest dream.Haruka and Michiru were here, and theave me something that made me strong."She looked at Usagi, who ducked heyes quickly.

"That is odd," said Ami, pulling out her mini-computer. She rapidlyped in something, and scanned the room. "There's evidence of otheeople being in here, but our energy is so strong it's blocking me froeeing what type the other energy is. It's possible it was them, but iould also have been doctors." Ami put the computer away. Mako closed heyes.

"What are we going to do about this new enemy?" she asked. Everyonas silent.

"We don't know," Minako said finally. "We're not strong enough teat them on our own, but."

"If the others were here, we might have a chance." Mako said, openiner eyes again. "We should try to contact them. They might know what to."

"I tried," Usagi whispered. Everyone turned to stare at her. "I
tried Setsuna's number at home, and at the physics lab. She doesn't worhere anymore. There wasn't any answer at Michiru and Haruka's place."

"I.see." Mako said finally. "Why don't we try contacting them oheir communicators?"

"I'm trying," said Ami. She used her computer to access Haruka,
Michiru and Setsuna's communicators. They couldn't get through.

"It's like they vanished off the face of the earth!" Amy said,
frustrated. "I can't get through to their communicators!"

"Is this a sign.a sign that the Senshi of the Outer Solar System haveft us?" Rei said quietly.

"No!" cried Usagi. "They protect from afar. That's their job, it'hat they were brought back for! They can't abandon us, we need them!"
Everyone turned to stare at her again. Usagi blushed slightly, and put heand over Mamoru's, which was still on her shoulder.

"Usagi's right. They wouldn't abandon us. They can't." Mako smiled,
and sat up. "Having you all near me.I've regained my strength." She swinger legs out of bed and stands up.and a flash of green light surroundehem all.

"What's happening?!" cried Minako.

"It's a teleporting ring!" yelled Ami. It was necessary to yelecause along with the light there was now a roaring noise. "I'm going try to neutralize-" Ami never got to finish her sentence. They alanished from the hospital room.
