Nick, Leanne and the others did as Jennifer asked of them, but it wasn't
long before she showed up at the hotel with three other girls.
"Guys I would like you to meet Ami, Serena, and Raye," Jennifer said introducing the three girls to her friends.
"The rest of the GSScouts will be here tomorrow, along with the remaining Galactic Knight. Also Serena will be bringing the rest of the scouts here tomorrow as well. Out of 24 scouts and knights, only 5 have been able to remember so far, but I have a feeling that will change very soon."
"Fine have remembered?" asked Kaira.
"Yes, the fifth is the Guardian of the Time Gates and is only allowed to come and visit for a short while and so she will be here when she is needed most. Her cousin still has yet to remember luckily only one of the Guardians is absolutely needed at the Gates," explained Serena
"Now, Jen and I were talking on the way here and we believe that it couldn't hurt to tell you all who you are," said Ami extremely shyly moving up a bit closer to Jen.
"Well we already know that I am Galactic Sailor Mercury and Nick is the Mercury Knight," Jennifer said making everyone nod in agreement. "Well Ami here is my cousin and Sailor Mercury," Jennifer explained sitting down next to Leanne. She looked around the room quickly at all of her friends. She smiled knowing that they each looked so much older than the last time she had seen them. The smile quickly faded when she realized that her memory of when she was no longer a Sailor Scout was extremely hazy. *Oh well,* she thought to herself, *that will change soon enough I just need time to remember like they do.*
"Serena and Leanne are princesses of the moon, the only two differences between them and the rest of their respective set of scouts is that they are stronger, and their knights Scott and Darien, whom you will meet later are from earth not the moon. They are both cousins as Serena and Len.Leanne are as well." Jennifer said as Ami, Serena and Raye each found spots to sit nearby.
"You keep going to call me Lenna, why is that?" Leanne asked, looking Jennifer in the eyes.
"Well you see that's actually your name. Just like my name is actually Jammar. Both of our parents felt that Lenna and Jammar were not names suitable for earth so when we were reborn we were given earth names. Leanne and Jennifer."
"I guess that can kind of make sense," Leanne said seeming still slightly confused.
"Don't worry about it Leanne. You'll understand soon. Now to continue," Jennifer said placing a comforting hand on Leanne's shoulder.
"Kaira and Alex, you were born on Galactic Venus. Kaira you are the Princess there and heir to the throne. Alex on the other hand is the strongest knight on his planet as are all of the knights," Ami explained. "Your cousin will be here tomorrow."
"Lastly Angel you are the Princess of Galactic Jupiter and Greg is your knight, and your cousin will be here tomorrow also," Jennifer explained.
"Also Raye here, is Sailor Mars and I am Sailor Mercury, as Jen said. The four of us have also decided to save the rest of the introductions until everyone else gets here," Ami finished.
"All I want to say about that before we answer any questions you may have, is that you will all be pleasantly surprised to see who two of the other Galactic Sailor Scouts are, " Jennifer said.
They all sat and talked all night before Jennifer and Serena both left for the airport, both going to pickup their friends.
Serena was the first to return with six girls and a guy, who you could just tell was Serena's boyfriend as she clung to his arm.
"Everyone I'd like you to meet my friends. This is Darien, Minako, Makoto, Michiru, Haruka, Setsuna, and Hotaru," Serena said introducing everyone.
"Hello nice to meet you all. I'm Leanne and these are my friends, Scott, Angel, Greg, Nick, Kaira, and Alex," Leanne said taking the lead in Jennifer's absence.
There was an awkward silence in the following few minutes before Jennifer arrived with five girls and a guy. Leanne was the first to speak as the seven entered the room.
"What the hell are our sisters doing here Jen? Don't tell me that they're Galactic Sailor Scouts too," she said almost angrily. Everyone looked between the two best friends as Leanne gave Jennifer what she liked to call 'the look'. It always managed to frighten anyone into thinking Leanne was mad, well anyone except for Jennifer.
"Leanne don't give me that look," Jennifer said as the two laughed lightly at their inside joke. "But I do have to say that they are. Raye here is Allison's cousin, making her Galactic Sailor Mars, and her boyfriend Andrew is the Mars Knight," Jennifer replied motioning for the six she'd just brought so go sit down. They had managed to bring in enough chairs and cushions for everyone to sit comfortably in a circle in the large hotel room.
"Now before I answer that question I see in your eyes Leanne," Jennifer said smiling at her best friend. "I would like to introduce everyone. Now as you've probably figured out this is Allie, Cari and Andrew," she said pointing at the two younger girls, and boy, who were standing to her right.. "Now to my left is Anian, Tawny and Mai," she continued introducing the other three girls.
"But if she's from Mars and I'm from the moon then how can we be sisters?" Leanne asked breaking Jennifer from her thoughts of the past.
"You were reborn into the same family. By blood you are not sisters you just have the memories that you are. It's the same with Cari and I. Because they are younger than the rest of us, they wouldn't get their powers as soon as us so they would need to be protected until they did. When we were sent here our mothers all made sure that they would be protected by the two strongest of the Galactic Sailor Scouts; you and I."
"Why are you and Leanne stronger," Angel question from Jennifer's left next to Serena and Darien.
"Well Angel that's because we are the first to scouts to receive our powers. Leanne got her powers first because she is the leader and I was given mine next because my skills were needed sooner."
"Ok so we each have different power's right? What are they," Minako question from the other side of the large circle.
"The two moon Princesses and the Princes from earth have their love. The stronger their love for earth gets the stronger their powers will be, as well they have the power of justice," explained Ami.
"Right while I have that same power because of Nick; Ami, Nick and I also have the power of ice. Because of this we are stronger in the winter or cold weather but only slightly. Our ancestors were able to even out this because it would have greatly weakened us in the summer time and we would have been of no use to those who needed us," Jennifer explained.
"Ami and Jennifer also are the so-called brains of the group. They each have a computer and VR visor to help out whenever possible," Serena finished.
"Allie and I use fire, Makoto and Angel have the power of wind and storm. Finally Minako and Kaira have the power of love. All of the Galactic Knights of course use the same power as their princess," said Raye.
"What about the rest of us?" questioned a confused Cari.
"Well Cari, you and Hotaru are the Saturn Princesses, and carry the power of life and death inside you. Michiru and Tawny, are the Princesses and heirs to Neptune, and of course Galactic Neptune and rule the power of water," Jennifer explained.
"Haruka and Mai rule the planet of Uranus and the power of earth," Raye continued.
"The power of Earth?" asked a confused Leanne. "But I thought Scott and Darien were the Princes of Earth, therefore wouldn't they control the power of Earth."
"Sorry, you misunderstand. Scott and Darien do control the power of the planet Earth and of course love but Sailor Uranus and Galactic Sailor Uranus control the power of the ground earth. For example one of Sailor Uranus's attacks is 'Uranus World Shaking'," Raye explained again.
Ami giggled slightly as she continued on, "Yes and finally Anian and Setsuna are the rulers of Pluto and time. Setsuna was the one guarding the Time Gates. I'm sure she'll be happy for this small break she has been allowed. It is very rare for even one of the Gates to be unguarded but for both to be completely unwatched my either of its Guardians is quite dangerous and therefore can only happen for a short while."
"If the Time Gates are so important, then why is one of the guardians able to be away," asked Anian.
"I'll answer that one," Setsuna replied smiling at her cousin. "You see you and I were able to foresee that something was going to happen to the scouts and that most would loose their memories. We also saw that one of us would as well although we were unsure as to whom it would be. When we realized that one of the Gates would be unguarded we set up a system to allow for one of us to keep an eye on both Gates. And happily it works well enough that I can step away from both for a short time without worrying too much that something will happen," she explained the seriousness paling her face slightly.
Jennifer sat in silence as the others explained some of the information for her. She realized just how tired she was from being in control she did not know how she would be able to handle it once Princess Lenna took the throne and became Queen Lenna. She smiled as she saw the looks of wonder and amazement on her friends faces but a feeling of dread tore at her heart as she knew it was soon to be time for one of them.
"Okay this is all of the information we can share with you for now. The rest that you will need to know you will learn as soon as necessary," she said quietly stopping Makoto from asking the question she wanted to ask.
"Jennifer's right. Besides we still need to make arrangements if we're all to stay in this hotel, and it's getting late," Serena said before she and Raye went downstairs to arrange for rooms for everyone.
(A/N: Okay I was going to end it there and have this next part it's own chapter but I thought that this chapter would have been just too short so I made chapter 10 even longer YAY ME! LOL here you go!)
An hour later everyone was in bed. The six couples each had their own room, while everyone else was on their own. Jennifer and Nick however were the only one's still awake, and were talking, as they lay in bed.
"Nick you seem upset. Please tell me what's wrong," Jennifer said turning on her side looking worried at her fiancé.
"I'm just really tired," he replied closing his eyes.
"Nicholas you know that won't work with me. I've known you for five years and have gone out with you for half that time, and now we're engaged. Don't you think that I would know you better than that? Please tell me," Jennifer said almost pleading with him.
"You do know me quite well, almost too well sometimes. Which could be a good thing in some ways," Nick said with an evil grin on his face before kissing his fiancée.
Breaking the kiss Jennifer replied in a playfully angry voice, "Now don't you try and sweet talk me into changing the subject."
"Who said anything about talking."
"NICK! I'm serious. You may be trying to hide it but I know that something's wrong so just tell me please," Jennifer said a pleading look in her eyes.
"Jen can't you just let it go. I'm not ready to talk about it yet. I still have a few things I want to work out on my own first. I promise I'll talk to you about it in the morning."
"I can understand and respect that. As long as you don't shut me out again like you used to."
"Never again I promise. Forever and always which is as long as I'll love you, I could never hurt you," Nick said the sincerity ringing in his voice, shining in his eyes, and lighting up his heart. (A/N: remember Jennifer's telepathic and so she can see this but she won't probe and find out what's bothering him she's not THAT rude ()
"Alright we'll talk first thing in the morning," Jennifer replied snuggling into Nick's arms.
She fell asleep that way a few minutes later, leaving him to think to himself about all that had happened in the last two days, before he too fell asleep after a couple of hours more.
"Guys I would like you to meet Ami, Serena, and Raye," Jennifer said introducing the three girls to her friends.
"The rest of the GSScouts will be here tomorrow, along with the remaining Galactic Knight. Also Serena will be bringing the rest of the scouts here tomorrow as well. Out of 24 scouts and knights, only 5 have been able to remember so far, but I have a feeling that will change very soon."
