Greg and Angel went into Jennifer's room to find Nick holding her hand and
talking to her softly.
"Hey Nick do you want us to come back later?"
"No that's alright, Angel. Come on in," Nick said startled at first but recovering quickly.
"Nick are you okay? You seem to be handling this a little too well," a very worried Greg said trying to get Nick to let his feelings out.
Like Leanne, Nick could only show his true feelings to certain people only in his case it was two people, Alex and Jennifer.
"I'll be alright, as soon as Jennifer wakes up. She will wake up you know. I know she will," Nick said trying hard not to cry.
Greg walked up beside his friend and put a conforting hand on his shoulder. Greg was the only one who knew exactly what Nick was going through. Only a year before Greg had lost one of his best friends from when he was growing up. Because Greg had grown up in another town he was still on outsider in a way. The entire group considered him a very good friend but he still felt nervous even after 2 years. Greg was very happy to be able to call them all friends expecially after hey had all been there for him when his friend passed away.
"I am going to be alright. Thank you, though Greg. I am very happy to be able to call you a friend."
"I was just thinking that myself," Greg replied causing a small smile to form on Nicks lips.
Greg and Angel sat down in the chairs that had been set up beside the bed.
"Both of you will be alright," Angel assured him
The three sat in silence for a few more minutes, with Angel crying in Greg's arms, and nick wishing that he didn't want to cry and that he had no reason to. then after Angel and Greg left, Kaira and Alex too their place asking the same questions as Greg had before them. Alex was very worried about his best friend. Alex knew that Nick was hurting over this and tried to get him to talked about it but gave up very quickly knowing that Nick would come and talk to him when he wanted to.
After ten minutes of soft talking, and some silence Alex and Kaira left to be replaced by Leanne and Scott at Jennifer's bedside.
As soon as Leanne walked in she went straight over to Nick and hugged him as both of them started to cry again. They knew the best what the other was going through, as they were the closest to Jen.
"She's going to be all right isn't she Leanne," Nick said through the tears as they broke apart.
"Yes Nick she will be. I know her very well and she loves you very much, Nick if she can help it she won't be leaving you anytime soon."
"Thank you Leanne," he replied giving her a weak smile.
The three sat and talked quietly about what they were going to do as soon as Jen woke up and got out of the hospital. After an hour Scott decided to leave Leanne and Nick to themselves to watch over Jennifer.
Nick and Leanne started talking about all the good times they had shared with Jennifer when suddenly an alarm sounded.
Three nurses and a doctor all rushed into the room to find out what was wrong. As they worked on her one of the nurses pushed Leanne and Nick outside to wait, causing Leanne to start crying in Nick's arms.
They stood like that before finally the doctor came out to talk to them.
"I'm sorry but there is nothing we could do. The brain damage was just to extensive."
Leanne and Nick were holding onto each other when they went back to see her one last time.
They each stood on either side of the bed holding one of Jennifer's hands each crying and saying a prayer to themselves. As they were doing this a bright blue light started shining from Jennifer's body and she was lifted from the bed.
When her body was about a foot above the bed, Jennifer's body was engulfed in a bright flash of dark blue, which lasted for about five seconds.
Leanne and Nick had been watching her body the whole time but were forced to look away during the flash of light. They were amazed when they looked back to see that Jennifer was no longer wearing the hospital gown. She was now wearing a long sleeved white blouse, and a royal blue, pleated mini skirt. In the centre of the blouse was a royal blue bow with a heart shaped locket in the centre. There was another bow on the back of the skirt, and her hair was pulled back in a high ponytail. Jennifer also had on knee-high boots in the same blue as the rest of the outfit. In her left hand she held a wand in a shape Leanne somehow recognized as the symbol of Mercury, only there was a heart with a moon in the centre instead of a circle. On the wand's handle there were three other planetary symbols.
With the original blue light still surrounding her Jennifer was slowly rotated until she was in a standing position. She was then lowered down to stand on the bed when she finally awoke.
"Jennifer what happened to you? We were told you were dead," said an extremely happy and confused Nick.
"I was reborn into my true form as Galactic Sailor Mercury, protector of my Princess and my home. Mercury," she replied strongly.
"What do you mean 'your home'? Do you mean you're not of this planet?" questioned Leanne.
"Yes Leanne that is precisely what I mean. I was born unto royalty on the planet Mercury. I am not the only one of our group that was born else where, but until they regain their memories of our past I may not disclose whom. I must however find a way to bring back their memories cause we are all needed here and now."
"I remember something that may sound weird. All I know is that there are nine GSScouts and five knights."
"You are right Nick. We became friends for a reason. Because of our joint past we were all drawn to each other. Each knight is currently dating his respective Galactic Sailor Scout." Jennifer explained before realizing what information she was giving away.
"But that would mean."
"Yes Nick, you are a Galactic Knight."
"May I ask something," Leanne questioned.
"Go ahead Leanne."
"Well you were saying that we were drawn to each other because of our joint past, so does that mean that ALL of us here are GSScouts as well?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Well who is who? I remember as well that there are nine scouts and they each from a different planet. Right?"
"Right but I can't say who is who. You all have to remember that on your own."
"But there are only four scouts and four knights here, right? That means five girls and one other guy is out there. Do we know them and just aren't close friends with them?"
"Two of the scouts and the one knight we all know and Leanne you and I are very close to those two scouts. As for the other three because they are older, I believe that we do not actually know them because they are already off at University but I don know who they are."
"How are we supposed to remember about our past if you won't tell us anything," said Leanne almost angrily.
"The answer to that is not a very happy sounding one but you have the right to know.
"It has to do with your vision. it is going to come true no matter what you do to try and stop it with only a few major changes. The first one being that Karia and I die. Part of that has already come true. Two, there are not going to be any funerals because everyone will be reborn into their scout forms. Which leads to the third difference, as soon as we transform all wounds will be healed this one and only time."
"You mean we have to die on order to remember our true lives? Why does that seem a little risky to me," Nick said warily.
"There's no need to worry. As Galactic Sailor Scouts we cannot die. The only thing that can destroy us is evil, and until you are able to transform you will not be attacked."
"But how did we come to forget our past? And why are we now suddenly having to die so as to remember it?"
"That's a very good question Lenna."
"Um. Lenna? You always call me Leni or Leanne," Leanne said giving Jennifer a strange look.
"I'll explain that later. As for your other questions. We were made to forget after our last battle when our guardians felt that the evil had passed and we were no longer needed. Now however a new enemy has arisen. I can sense it, but barely. If GSMars were here she would be able to tell you more about this enemy but I am the only one of us to be reborn so far.
"Now I must leave. I have to find some people that are here whose help we will need. Plus I must arrange for the others to come to Australia. While I'm gone I ant you and the others to go back to the hotel where you can explain to them what I have told you. Once I get back I will answer any more questions," Jennifer said before teleporting away in a golden flash of light.
"Hey Nick do you want us to come back later?"
"No that's alright, Angel. Come on in," Nick said startled at first but recovering quickly.
"Nick are you okay? You seem to be handling this a little too well," a very worried Greg said trying to get Nick to let his feelings out.
