Chapter 10 - Make Up?
"We will protect, with our hands, the people we love
Raise your eyes when it is time for the battle"
-= Sailor Senshi - Sailor War 2001 =-
The alarm clock had already rung about five times in a row before being slapped by Megan's hand. She moaned and tried to hide herself under the two blankets that covered her, while her father's voice kept calling her name.
"Megan, it's time to wake up! You have to go to school today, don't you remember?"
"-yawn- it's too cold out there, dad... maybe they just dismissed classes again...?", and she rolled over to the other side.
"Not today", answered Mr. Lightner, opening the door. "Someone named Kenneth called half an hour ago and said that the central heater was on."
"Ken-", gasped Megan, sitting on the bed.
"His voice became a little strange when I told him who I was. Is there something you want to tell me, Megan?"
"Hn... can we talk about that during breakfast? I'll be ready in a second."
Megan's mind could only think in a solution for the problem she was trying to hide from her parents. After all, how would she just say to her father and mother that she already had a boyfriend, when they had arrived in Mornington four days ago? Plus the fact that she met Kenneth on her first day in Mornington, when she hadn't 'officially' left the apartment... but that wasn't the biggest problem of all, because she could say that she had met him on her first day at the Fallen Institute.
What she really feared was not knowing how would her parents react when she told them that Kenneth was her boyfriend. It hadn't been a long time since she stopped being 'daddy's little girl' and now... someone else had come into her life. No more playing with dolls, she smirked, too old for that.
Megan spent about ten minutes in her reflection and in changing her clothes. Wearing warm clothes to bear the cold weather and the snow, she went to the dining room, ready to face her parents...
... or not.

The cold morning helped making the English girl think that her nightmares were becoming true. It hadn't been easy leaving home and going to a strange country, without anyone she loved.
"This is an excellent opportunity to you to make friends and to make you more independent of us", her father had said, when he came with the plane tickets. "You don't need to worry, my dear. This trip will last only one year."
"ONLY one year?!", she yelled, waving her arms angrily. "Father, twelve months away from home will make me depressed!"
"One day, you will thank me for this. Now go pack your clothes", and he left the room, leaving his daughter alone with her thoughts.
Time had passed by and there she was, sharing a room with another girl, also a newbie there. She had read on the little 'Welcome to the Fallen Institute' book that a lot of foreign students would come to Mornington every year, so she was prepared to share a room with someone who didn't speak English.
"Hi... I'm Helen Dawn, nice to meet you", the other girl said, making her feel better.
"My name is Althea Maxwell. Nice to meet you too", she answered, happy for having an English speaker as a roomate. "Is this your first day at the Institute?"
"Yes... I'm going to Fallen High. I was on my way now..."
"That's good... I'm also booked for Fallen High. Shall we go together?"
Some minutes later, Althea and Helen were on their way to Fallen High. By that little book them both had recieved, the older students would be on uniforms so that newbies could find them easily when help was needed.
And that was something that Althea really wanted.

A pile of hot pancakes and a big cup full of hot chocolate looked to a worried Megan, who stared at her parents, feeling as if nothing would pass through her throat.
"Er... mom... dad... I...", she gasped, failing in finding the right words to start her little speech.
"We noticied that you already made some friends", said Mrs. Lightner, having some coffee. "That's good, dear."
"Yes, mom... people here are very friendly and..."
"How did that boy... Kenneth, isn't that his name?", Megan nodded. "know that the heater was on, even before the Institute was open?"
"He... he works there, dad... and... and... Kenneth is... is... -gasp- my -cough-cough- boyfriend *Ok, I've said it already*", she finally said, blushing deeply and feeling her face burning.
Mr. and Mrs. Lightner stopped eating for some minutes and looked at their daughter.
"That's wonderful, dear", said Mrs. Lightner, placing her napkin on the table. "Why don't you invite him for dinner tomorrow night?"
"You mean that... you're not... angry?", asked Megan, puzzled and happy at the same time.
"Why should we?", said Mr. Lightner. "You're 17 years old, Megan, old enough to take care of your life... better, of your heart. Just be careful with your grades, because this is your Graduation year. Your grades have to be good, remember that."
Megan smiled widely and started to eat her breakfast. She had never thought that her parents would react that way. Maybe she was reading too many novels...
"Megan, you're going to be late", warned her father. "And... just out of curiosity... how old is he?"
"Ken? He's 18, daddy", answered Megan, putting on her coat and getting her school bag, still with a toast in her mouth. "'Bye!"
The Lightners smiled to each other and watched as Megan walked out of the apartment. She was becoming a woman... a full grown-up.
"But dear... don't you think that Megan is too young to have a boyfriend?", asked Mr. Lightner, with a funny face.
***
And school life was starting again, as usual. The only problem they still had was trying to discover why had the weather become strange. It wasn't the right month to snow and Catherin and Arthur knew that. After all, they were in the beginning of September, not on December.
"So today we're having normal lessons...", said Tieko, pouring coffee in a cup.
"That's what Kenneth said. He turned the central heater on early this morning", said Rick, coming into the dinning room with a kettle. "You're coming with us?"
"Ahn... yes. Yesterday I saw where my classroom is, so I won't be needing Cat's help for today", answered Tieko, taking off her apron. "She will be busy today, there are more newbies arriving."
"THAT'S why Daniel, Martin and I chose to come some weeks before lessons started", and the scent of Earl Grey tea filled the dining room as Rick poured the tea in his cup, with a wide and... why not say... maniac smile on his face.
"Hey... what will William do with his cousin and her friends?" asked Martin, having a cup of floral tea. "We will be at College until one o'clock in the afternoon.
"Oh, he will think of something, don't worry, Martin...", smirked Arthur.
***
Something DID happen, but it wasn't any creation of William's dizzy head. No living being at Mornington could possibly think of a reason for such a suddent climatic change in less than 24 hours.
"I just can't believe in what's happening...", moaned Kenneth, taking off one of his coats. "Yesterday, classes were dismissed because it was snowing and the central heater wasn't on. Today, classes were dismissed because it's TOO HOT and five or six students fainted during first period due to the awful heat."
"And that makes the second day in a row without lessons...", sighed Megan, rolling up her sleeves.
"Not to mention another day with nothing to do at all. I just hope that the eletric central of Mornington doesn't wreck up with all this mess...", continued Martin. "I'm going back to the dormitory. See you all later."
"See'ya, Martin", answered Daniel, with his jacket over his shoulder. "Hey... now that we're free, why don't we stop by the hotel and ask the girls if they want to go to the Ice Cream Shop?"
"That isn't a bad idea... but why that all of a sudden?", asked Rick.
"Er... maybe we can find a clue for what's happening."
"I'll try to believe in your words, Daniel, but you can be right", said Arthur, grinning. "After all, they arrived in the same day all this began to happen."
"Waitasec, Arthur...", said Tieko. "You're not suggesting that..."
"No, I'm not. But something strange is happening here and we have to discover what is it."
***
In the meanwhile, two worried Destiny Kishi kept looking at the mirror, watching everything that was happening in Fallen Institute. They knew Arthur was right, they had to discover what was happening there... a difficult task, in their opinion.
"Any clue?", asked Firebird, with his elbows on his knees, looking at Aleph.
"Not a single one", he answered, sighing. "Man, I knew that changing one thing in a Timeline could mess up the future, but I never thought it would happen like THAT."
"The old 'monster-of-the-day-against-the-hero-group' plot, you mean?"
"That's right. But something's strange in this 'old plot'... and I can't figure what is it."
"That's bad. When a Destiny Kishi gets puzzled with a Timeline, a disaster can happen", said Moon Fox, entering the room. "I just hope that they can solve that without any help."
"It's time for the Sailor Senshi to get into scene", mumbled Firebird. "Now."
***
It was HOT. Very HOT. TOO HOT for the five girls and the two cats at the hotel. Not even the central cooler could make things better in the rooms and all they decided to stay at the hall, dressed up with their Summer clothes, to try to cool up.
{Minako-chan, you hadn't tell us that Mornington was THIS hot...}, moaned Usagi, streched on a couch.
{Well, William didn't tell me that neither. Luna, can't you do something to help us with this communication problem?}, said Minako, starting to feel that Artemis' fur was too hot and making him get out of her lap.
{I'm a counselor, not a magician}, whispered the cat. {Only if a bit of Moon Power made you all understand English, but I'm not sure if that's possible...}
{Shh, Luna... look who's coming}, whispered Makoto, with a portable fan on her hands.
Arthur, Tieko, Daniel, Rick, Megan and Kenneth went into the hall, finding the five girls on the coach. It was strange... all they felt a funny feeling when they got near the girls and the cats. Something like if they weren't complete strangers.
"Hi!", greeted Minako. "It's nice to see you, but... weren't you supposed to be at College now?"
"It was", said Kenneth. "If the weather weren't crazy like this. Besides..." {Daniel would like to ask if you all want to go to the Ice Cream Shop.}, he added in Japanese, grinning.
{Oooh, an Ice Cream Shop?}, drooled Usagi, smiling widely.
{Settle down, Usagi-chan...}, sighed Makoto, blushing. {Someone please tell him that we DO accept his invitation.}
{Hm...}, smiled Minako, poking Makoto with her shoulder. {Something tells me that he remembers you of someone...}
{Er... can we please GO?}, asked Ami, trying to avoid a possible discussion between Minako and Makoto. "We are very pleased, Daniel-san."
And everyone suddently stared at Daniel, except Kenneth, who kept grinning.
"OK, what have you told them, Kenneth?!"
"Heheheheh... I'll explain that later, after we order some COLD drinks", and he ran away, still holding Megan's hand.
***
It didn't take too long until Catherin and the other students were also dismissed from College. Aindrea was waiting for her at the main door of the Institute, also without two coats and with Summer clothes.
"Hi, Catherin", smiled Aindrea, offering his hand to help her climb down the stairs. "Do you want to put your extra coats in my car?"
"Hi, Aindrea", Cat also smiled, feeling her cheeks hot. "No, thank you... I was going to go back to the dormitory to change my clothes. And... have you seen the others?"
"They went to the Ice Cream Shop", he answered, holding her hand.
Cat was startled and pulled her hand off of Aindrea's, as if she didn't like what he had done.
"So... sorry...", said Aindrea, seeing how perturbated she became. "I... I shouldn't have done that, sorry."
"No... it's not your fault, Aindrea, it's just that...", she tried to explain, but tears became to roll over her face.
"You don't have to explain yourself if it's something that hurts you so badly", he said, wiping away some tears. "I'll take you to the dormitory, you need to wash your face before going to the Ice Cream Shop."
"The Ice Cream Shop?"
"Everyone is there... they phoned me some minutes ago... but... if you want to have some time alone, I can explain that to them."
Cat wiped her face with her sleeve and took a deep breath. It was time to forget some things that had happened in the past and don't let them interfere in her life. After all, she deserved a chance to be happy.
And Aindrea's eyes were so sweet...
***
The Ice Cream Shop. The place where every youngster went after classes to have a cold or a hot drink or some ice cream to make a day perfect. Of course, that was a place where you could always find someone to talk with or where you could see some unusual and funny things...
... like a blond girl eating two banana-splits, three sundaes and one milk-shake as if she would die if they weren't there by her side.
"Wow", was the only word Daniel, Rick, Arthur and Tieko could think of saying while they had their ice cream.
"How does she keeps slim eating like THAT?", asked Arthur, being poked by Tieko some seconds later. "You know that hurts!"
"The problem is, you NEVER say to a girl that she's eating too much, Arthur", said Cat, entering the shop with hands held along with Aindrea. "You still have a lot to learn about girls..."
"But don't worry, you won't have that kind of problem in Hell", said a creepy voice that came from somewhere in the shop.
"Who said that?", asked Tieko, standing up.
Suddently, a hot wave filled up the shop, making almost everyone inside faint because of the heat. Flames came from into an oven, scaring the ones that hadn't fainted yet, who ran out of the shop as fast as they could, except for the group that stood up, looking to where the voice had come from.
*Not now!*, thought Cat, starting to feel dizzy with the heat. *We can't transformate in front of this girls...*
Every Guardian had the same thought when something strange happened. Some kind of cold shield was protecting the group against the heat, but no Guardian had powers over the Ice Element and a blue light started to come from someone in the group.
When they turned back to see where the light came from, they were surprised to see that the blue light came from Tieko's forehead.
{What?!}, exclaimed Luna, forgetting that she couldn't talk at that moment. {Everyone, make up!}
{Mercury Star Power!}
{Mars Star Power!}
{Jupiter Star Power!}
{Venus Star Power!}
{Moon Cosmic Power!}
{MAKE UP!!!}
The Guardian group was atonished with what they were watching. Behind those girls were hidden the powerful Sailor Senshi of Japan! Tieko was also atonished, but a pain on her head didn't let her think too much about what she was seeing on her front.
"Hurry up!", shouted Rick, picking Tieko on his arms, when she fell down. "I don't think she will be able to keep the cold shield for much longer! Forget your 'secret identities' now!"
"He's right! Earth Destiny Power!"
"Saturn Violet Power!"
"Jupiter Green Power!"
"Neptune Blue Power!"
"Moon Silver Power!"
"Welcome to Mornington, Sailor Senshi.", greeted Selen, after her transformation.
"Thank you...", said Sailor Moon, surprised that she could understand what the girl had said.
"Neat...", said Siren, making her glaive appear. "Who will be this time? Someone-ko, I presume?"
"Almost", said the creepy voice, that came from a big flame that took a humanoid form on their front. "I'm Hinoko."
"The Child of Fire", said Gin, making his swords appear on his hands. "And may we presume that you are after revenge for Kazeko's death and to take Tieko to your world?"
"Exactly, young man", answered the woman of fire, walking towards Rick, who still held Tieko on his arms. "Now, if you please..."
"NO! You won't take this girl to your world!", and everybody looked at Sailor Moon. "Nobody gave you the right to have fun with our weather! And...", all the Guardians and the Senshi couldn't help but slap their foreheads.
"In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!!!", Sailor Moon and Selen said at the same time.
"We will protect, with our hands, the people we love
Raise your eyes when it is time for the battle"

"Exactly, young man", answered the woman of fire, walking towards Rick, who still held Tieko on his arms. "Now, if you please..."
"NO! You won't take this girl to your world!", and everybody looked at Sailor Moon. "Nobody gave you the right to have fun with our weather! And...", all the Guardians and the Senshi couldn't help but slap their foreheads.
"In the name of the Moon, I will punish you!!!", Sailor Moon and Selen said at the same time.
