Chapter 10: A New Life



Naoko's face looked grim. "I'm sorry Mikaru, but it's positive . . ." I was devastated. I was only nineteen and I was pregnant! I began to weep and Folken put his arm around me kissed my cheek. I still couldn't believe it. The next morning I went to see my doctor. He tested me for STD's and nothing showed which made me really happy. Then I asked him to do a pregnancy test. He did so and the result was still positive. How was I going to explain this to my family? Folken had asked me of I wanted to go and live with him on Gaea. But to leave my friends behind would be too hard. He then told me that I could be with them when ever I wanted to. I agreed but how would I tell my parents I was moving out?

"You know, you could make up a phony acceptance letter to that art college in Canada that you applied to." Naoko suggested.

"You know, that's a great idea Naoko! I'll just copy Maaya's acceptance letter."

"Whose Maaya?" Minako asked. I laughed.

"Maaya was the best artist at our school and she got accepted to the art college in Canada. She also gave me a copy of it considering I had told her how much I wanted to go there! So we can scan it into the computer change the name and stuff and send it to my house." I was so happy that it might actually work.

"Wait, did you actually apply for the college?" Naoko asked "cuz if you did, what will happen if your parents receive a letter saying you didn't get accepted or you really did get accepted?"

"I never thought of that." I stopped to think. "I know! I'll call them up saying I would like to decline my application!" I yelled. So I did call them up and told them I didn't want to go to their college. The next day we mailed the phony letter to my house. My parents were thrilled and also upset because I had to leave by the end of the week. All week I packed my stuff up.



"Hey Folken, Will I almost drown again going to Gaea?" I asked him after I had all my stuff ready to go. He laughed and told me that was a test. He said this time it will be easier. I said my good byes and then we left.

"I can't believe she's gone . . ." Naoko said trying not to cry. We arrived on Gaea without any trouble and we arrived inside the walls of the Folken's fortress.

"Folken, don't they think you're dead?" I asked. He smiled.

"After you left I was brought back to life and then I went after you." I took my stuff to my room and unpacked my things.

"Wow Lady Mikaru, you have some strange things on the Mystic Moon" she couldn't do anything but admire all of my things. She picked up my cell phone and asked what it was for.

"Oh, on the Mystic Moon, we use it to communicate with each other when we are separated." she just looked on in awe.



We soon made up a room for our unborn child and went over names to call it. We decided if it was a boy, he would be named after the sun God Helios. But if it was a girl, her name would be Selene after the Moon Goddess. The nine months past very quickly and soon it was time to give birth. I'll never forget the pain I went through, but it was worth it. We ended up having a health girl, so she was named Selene. We lived on Gaea together as a family and made occasional trips to the Mystic Moon and I guess you could say we lived Happily Ever After.
