Here's chapter three ... happy readings!

Michiru walked into their apartment dropping her keys on the table and leaving her gym bag on the floor near the couch. Just as she opened a bottle of water the phone rang and she quickly went to answer it, Moshi moshi!--Oh! Usagi-chan!

Usagi replied in a quiet voice, Michiru-san ... I don't know how to tell you this ...

What's wrong Usagi? You sound very distressed.

Umm ... well, it's about Haruka-san ... something that happened last night ...

What are you talking about Usagi? Haruka's here. She just went out for her usual morning run like an hour ago. She should be back any minute.

Michiru ... there was a battle last night, and we thought that it was just like any other youma-- There was the sound of a door slamming and a familiar voice in the background.

Usagi I have no idea to what you're talking about. Haruka is fine, she just walked in the door right now. So sorry to cut you off, but we have a day planned! I'll talk to you soon!

But ... bu-- The line clicked, and Michiru had hung up. That's ... weird ... Odango said to herself.

~*~

Michiru smiled and hugged Haruka, That was Usagi calling, she was acting all weird and saying that something happened to you last night.

That girl, she's always saying something. Haruka replied, wrapping an arm around the sea senshi. Now how about that sailing trip? Ready to go?

Michiru nodded, Completely, let's go.

Usagi met up with Rei and the others at the Hikawa Shrine to discuss the morning's events. It doesn't make any sense. We all saw her get sucked into that weird dimension thing right? Rei commented, sitting on the stairs leaning back.

Ami replied, I tried analysing that dimension further, but it's so warped that I can't get any readings on it. It's location isn't very secure either, it will be hard to get in, let alone getting back out.

Michiru put her hand to her face, brushing some loose strands of aqua hair out of her face. The winds were gently rushing off the sea over the sailboat, one that was generously loaned by a racing friend of Haruka's. It's such a lovely day ... she remarked, looking up into the skies. She had a sarong tied loosely around her bathing suit, and a white cardigan that was hanging off of one shoulder.

Haruka remained at the controls, maintaining the rudder and main sail. Indeed, a very lovely day ... she replied. Michiru smiled and turned back towards the open sea again. Haruka's left eye glowed a vibrant red for a few moments, but disappeared almost instantaneously. A_very_lovely day ... she repeated silently.

~~~~~

She could feel herself awake, but her body didn't want to work anymore. She tried opening her eyes, but nothing happened. All there was was darkness; pure black oblivion. Words couldn't escape her mouth, it was as if she lost her voice. The soft rush of wind blew across her arm, and there was the barely audible sound of a footsteps getting closer.

Alrighty, that's the third chapter ... I didn't actually have a lot of these events planned out, but I figured that it worked out with the story better ... please tell me what you think!
