Wow,people really like this story. I'm so happy! Complicated love life for Lita, huh? And poor Trowa. Now he's got two people to contend with to win Lita's heart. Or does he? Does he already have it? Did someone drop out of the running? Does she even really like him or is she just stringing him along? And what about her friends? Now that they're back, what's gonna happen? And what was Quatre's phone call to Mina all about? Will there be more complication in other people's love lifes? And what about Darien? ::Grins evilly:: Wouldn't you like to know. Well,you'll just have to read about it. Oh,and I've decided to make them sailor scouts,just to make things more intresting! Get ready and hold on tight, 'cause you're in for one heck of a ride! Heeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeee We Go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lita looked at the people who used to be her friends. None of their faces showed any emotion. But Rei's eyes held a spark of hate in their depths. What did they want now?
"Can I help you," asked a voice from behind Lita. Trowa,her knight in shining armor (sort of.), came to her rescue. Cathrine was right behind him. Seeing Darien, Trowa put a protective arm around Lita's waist.
"Who's boyfriend did you steal now," Rei asked harshly.
"None one's, as if it's any of your bussiness," Lita scoffed. What nerve they had!
"Likely story," Rei retorted.
"What are you doing here," Lita asked in disgust.
"We're here visting a friend of mine," Mina answered lightly. "That was some act."
"Thanks," Lita said,still not letting down her guard. Mina wasn't looking at her anymore. Now she was staring at a certain clown with intrest.
"Hello,Lita," Darien said casually. His arm was wrapped around Serena's shoulder. Lita studied Serena. Serena's blue eyes were pleading with Lita. What were they pleading for? It wasn't like Lita was needed. There were no more missions now, and the sailor scouts had practically disbanded since they had found out about Darien and Lita's relationship.
"Darien," she regarded him coolly. Before anyone said anything else,the four gundam pilots came walking up. Lita smiled breifly at them. She didn't fail to notice that Trowa's arm was around her, but she didn't mind. She felt safe with him. Without thought,she leaned in closer to him. Trowa was like her rock. Always there when she needed him.
"Always a pleasure seeing you again, Miss Lita," Quatre said,shaking her hand. "I would like for you, Trowa,and Miss Cathrine to meet my house guests."
"We've met," Lita said, still staring at the other scouts. 'House guests,' she thought. 'Is that what he just said? What are they playing at?'
"Oh," Quatre said.
"Long story and not enough time," Lita assured him. Then she let out a convincing fake yawn. "I'm awfully tired from this long day. I'm gonna turn in early. Good night, guys. Trowa, Cathrine, good night. I'll see you in the morning."
"I'll walk with you," Trowa said, not removing his arm.
"Thank you," she said with a smile.
"Was that him," Trowa asked when they reached Lita's door.
"Yeah,that was him," she answered on a real yawn. She pecked Trowa on the cheek and went into her room.
(Lita's dream.............)
Lita ran. Something was chasing her,but she couldn't see what it was. Then there were her parents. Wait! Parents? She looked down at herself. She was a little girl again! She reached for her parents, but they vanished. Something crashed near her and, with a scream, she started running again. Then there was Tuxedo Mask. He reached out a hand to help her. But just as she grabbed it, he was taken away by a mysterious mist. She ran again.
When she ran too far,she reached a cliff. She started crying. Someone tapped her on the shoulder. She looked up to see Sailor Jupiter. Sailor Jupiter held out her arms for the little Lita, but Lita was hesitant. Then she embraced Sailor Jupiter. They became one.
Now as Sailor Jupiter, Lita turned to face the unknown force. She began powering up.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution," she cried, putting all of her strength into her attack. It hit home. She smiled. But the force simply shook it off and came charging back. She couldn't move. She'd used the last of her strength. It was a battle to keep her eyes open. She couldn't give up!
"Lita," someone called. That voice! So familiar! But to her clouded mind, she couldn't remember who it was.........
"Lita," the voice called again. "Lita,take my hand......."
Lita looked up. A man was holding his hand out to her. She slowly reached and grasped it. He hauled her to her feet and held her close to him. She tried to see his face, but it was hidden by shadows. There was something so familiar about his touch. She felt like she knew him from somewhere. The image of a gundam flashed through her head, and she awoke, screaming and in a cold sweat.
(End of dream........)
(Back in Lita's dressing room.........)
Lita looked around. *Thank God,* she thought. *It was only a dream.....* She laid back down and slipped into a dreamless slumber.
(That same night, at Quatre's mansion.......)
"Shouldn't we forgive her," Ami asked.
"No," Rei stated firmly.
"I think Rei's right," said Mina. "She almost screwed up the future."
"You don't know that," Darien said defensively.
"Of course you'd say that," Rei spat.
"Knock it off,Rei," Serena said firmly.
"And you," Rei said. "What's wrong with you? She stole your boyfriend from right under your nose! She could have destroyed Crystal Tokyo!"
"Like you stole him," Serena accused. "What's wrong, Rei? Mad because he forgot about you? Now you know how I felt when he left me for you. But I know how to forgive and forget. I love Darien and Lita is like a sister to me, the way you all are. I admit that there was a string of trust broken when they confessed it to me, but I can forgive them both. Why can't you two," she asked, pleading with Rei and Mina.
"But,princess, what if they hadn't confessed that? What if they had gone on," asked Mina.
"Don't you think I still wonder about that," Serena cried. "Those questions plague my everyday and almost every minute. But what matters now is that everything has been set right between Darien and I. Now we have to make-up with Lita. She's a sailor scout just like the rest of us. Her future is in Crystal Tokyo. We must all embrace this fact and go on with our lives. If not, Crystal Tokyo will fall for a second time. Do you want that, Rei? Do you,Mina?"
"No," they answered together.
"So I suggest that we take a vote," Serena said. "Anyone who is in favor of bringing Jupiter back, raise your hand. Anyone apposed, say 'nay'. In favor?"
Four hands rose in the air immedaitly. But there was one who was reluctant to agree with the masses. She sat, saying nothing.
"Which are you for,Rei," asked Darien.
Rei raised her hand. The others smiled at her.
"Now,let's get something to eat. I'm starved!" This came,of course, from Serena.
(Outside the door............)
Duo listened with great intrest. Crystal Tokyo? Sailor scouts? Jupiter? And what did Lita have to do with all of this? This was getting too weird.
Duo knew he shouldn't have been listening, but he couldn't help it. He'd been going to get a midnight snack, and saw the light. Then he heard arguing. And he'd heard it all.
As he walked towards the kitchen, he decided not to tell the guys. He could just picture what they would do. Wufei would start in on a tirade about how foolish his theory was, Quatre would try to reason with Wufei and make sense of all of this, Trowa would stay silent, and Heero would go and find them, head held high and guns blazing and he'd force the truth out of them. 'No,better not tell them,' Duo said as he pulled a jar of peanut butter and sugar towards him. He dumped half of the sugar in the container into the peanut butter, and started eating it.
(A week later, after a performance.............)
Lita dried her face on a towel. She hoped that Trowa hadn't forgotten that they were supposed to go out to dinner in a while. She looked around, but didn't see him. Where was he?
"Looking for me?" The voice almost made Lita jump out of her skin. She turned around to see Trowa smiling at her. He still had that mask on.
"Yes,I was. Don't sneak up on me like that," she said, sighing.
"Sorry. Just came to see--" But his statement was cut off. Mina and Serena were calling Lita and Trowa's friends were calling him. They were all standing together, but they looked severly oppsite.
The girls and Darien, except for Rei, were smiling. But the pilots were all frowning and looking worried. Quatre tried to put on a good face,but Lita and Trowa saw right through it. They walked over to see what was up.
"Trowa," Quatre said with fake cheerfullness. "We need to talk. Alone,if you please."
Trowa nodded and followed the guys. There was definatly something wrong. He could tell by their faces.
"OZ is acting up again," Duo said after a long silence. "We're needed. You'll have to come and stay with us at Quatre's mansion so we can be prepared. Bring Lita if you want. I'm sure that Cathrine's welcome if she wants to come."
Trowa just nodded again. So,they had to fight again. Even after it seemed that OZ had finally calmed down, they had to fight. He looked over at Lita.
(The scouts's conversation...........)
"So,really,we wanted to say that we're sorry for being so dumb. You're a part of this group and we were dumb to forget that over something so stupid as what happened," Serena said.
"Really," Lita asked. So,they were willing to be her friends again.
"Yes," Serena said. Lita smiled at them and they smiled back. Then there was a group hug. Everything was forgiven but not completly forgotten. Lita looked at Darien. He was staring at her, but looked away when he saw she knew what he was doing.
Lita was so happy. She had friends again. Life was good again.
"But, on a sadder note," Serena spoke up."We have information that OZ is acting up again. This is definatly not good. We need to go undercover for a while and see if we can uncover anything before this gets out of control again and the Gundams show up. That'll be all we need right now. And if it does come to that, we may need to go find our gundams. But let's hope we won't."
"Right," they all agreed.
"Lita," Mina said, "We're staying with Quatre. You should probally be there with us, just in case."
"Got it," Lita said. Finally, all of the scouts were back together. Lita went to her dressing room and packed her things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lame ending, I know. But I was running out of ideas. I'm gonna try to update this as much as possible. And as for my other GW/SM crossover, "My Last Summer With You", I'm starting to think that it's getting really lame, so I'm going to end it soon. It'll be short, I know, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Well, Later Days, Loyal Readers!
