Chapter 3: Old Friends, New Problems
"Derrick, I moving out by the end of the week," Kensie told her brother the next day at breakfast.
They were sitting in front of a small café down town.
"Ok," Derrick said simply. "You can get this nice apartment I saw in the paper. I'll give you the money to pay for it."
"No," Kensie replied quickly before taking a bite of her croissant. "I want to move it with someone. I don't happen to care for being put into a strange building with many people I don't know and nobody to show me around."
"Ok, but I'll have to do a background on anyone you move in with. And I'll have to have guards checking in-" Kensie cut him off.
"No, I agree to the background check. No guards thought, you can send Sean or Alex over, but only them. I don't have time to bother with those stupid guards," Kensie said picking up her mini backpack.
"Fine, fine. Go ahead and start looking for a roommate, but I highly doubt you'll find anyone today," Derrick said before Kensie stood up.
"Bye," Kensie said with a wav before going to her motorcycle and leaving.
"Good luck, little sis," Derrick said softly before asking a nearby waiter for his check.

Kensie parked her motorcycle in front of a convenient store one the corner of Park and Maple. She quickly went inside and bought a newspaper. Then, went to the park in the middle of town.
Once there, she parked and went in the park to the duck pond. Finding a bench, she sat down and started looking through the classifieds for a place that suited her.
Roommate wanted. Must be between the ages of 20 and 25. Will need to like cats and dogs. $500 a month. Call Josh Kenny @ 793-3541
"Not that one," Kensie said going on to the next one.
Former roommate moving new one needed. Between the ages of 20 and 25. $400 a month. Call Darien Shields @ 752-4989
"This sounds good," Kensie said putting the paper into her mini backpack before standing up and going towards her motorcycle.

"I wonder what Darien's dream meant," Lita asked to no one in particular as she played with a pink rose on one of the bushes.
"I was doing a fire reading last night, and I saw it," Raye said to the others. "She was some kind of princess."
"NO! She wasn't. She was just a lowly servant of the moon kingdom. That dream was just lies," Luna said quickly. "She was one of the worst servants the moon kingdom ever had."
"What are you talking about, Luna?" Rose said in a soft songy voice appearing out of thin air next to a bush of white roses behind them. "You and Serenity up to your old lies again, I see."
"Clara, what are you doing here?" Luna asked surprised that she was there.
"You should call me by my title, and you have no right calling your superiors servants. I should tell Thomas about this. He'll be mad that you're cursing our mother's memory," Rose said. "I'm here to get what's mine. And, Telman's back."
"Who are you?" Amy asked asking what was on the minds of the other three girls.
"I am Clara. You'll find me easier if you look under supreme ruler in you computer, or Princess of the Rose, Amy," Rose said with a small laugh.
"You can't. You have to go," Luna said unsteadily.
"Why should I? I'll ruin the perfect future that you and Serenity had set up for them, am I right, did I win the prize?" Rose said with a big smile. Then, turning serious she said, "You should know, Luna, that's it's not as perfect as you thought. Crystal Tokyo will be split. One side led by King Endymon; the other by Neo-Queen Serenity. That will be the end of my kingdom. Why, in hell, would I let that happen?"
"No, it won't happen. We made sure of that," Luna said somewhat scared.
"You're wrong, Luna. I'm the seer here. I saw it in so many of my dreams back then. I promised my self that it wouldn't happen. I won't let the universe be destroyed because you denied Endy's heart," Rose said before vanishing from her spot. "It's coming to me even stronger now. They must be split, before the end. I cannot let their fighting come to destroy the universe…my kingdom."
"You can't. You're lying," Luna practically screamed.
"It's too late to stop it. I have already met him," Rose's voice said coming from all around them. "I have already brought back most of my protectors, and the scouts will have to help, or Telman will get me. And you know exactly what will happen then."
"No," Mina cried softly. "Rose, come back. Please, come back."
"Mina, what's wrong?" Lita asked softly.
"I won't lose my best friend again," Mina yelled tears streaming down her face as she ran off. "Not this time."
Finally, Mina collapsed five minutes later. She was near the duck pond. Hadn't she been going the other way; she wondered.
"It's ok, Mina," Kensie said sitting down next to the sobbing Mina.
"Rose?" Mina asked cautiously not sure if her friend was really there or if it was someone else.
"Yes, but call me Mackenzie Jordan, Kensie for short," Kensie said helping Mina up.
"What happened?" Mina asked as she stood up and they headed for Kensie's motorcycle.
"What do you mean?" Kensie asked not sure what she meant.
"How did you get sent to the future, too?" Mina asked. "I mean I thought you lived and were just gone…"
"There was an attack," Kensie said as they neared the motorcycle. "We can talk more about this over lunch, if you want."
"Ok," Mina said as they climbed onto the motorcycle.
