Hello. Here's the next part to "One Stands Alone". Enjoy!
I don't own Sailor Moon, but I do own a few random characters, including Allura. By the way,
if anyone cares, I now own all 18 volumes of the Sailor Moon graphic novels. Yes, they are
in English.
Quote of the Fic: "There are no sorrows that can't fade away. I believe that someday the sun
will shine again. I think we'll be able to see it. The clear blue sky..." Hitomi, Escaflowne
Again, this is a mix of the manga and of the actual anime. If anything confuses you, e-mail
me (moonfairy2000@excite.com) and I'll be more than happy to explain. Or, if it's simpler,
leave a review, and I'll answer it in the next part I submit, promise!
Part 4 of 'One Stands Alone'
"Getting Help"
~~
"I didn't think you wanted to be there alone with him," Allura said, thinking as quickly as she
could.
"I don't wish to be alone with him, but why did you make sure you came along?" Serena demanded.
Allura stepped back, her eyes, and voice, softening, "I can't speak why, my Princess, just
trust that my intentions are pure."
Serena blinked at the softness of Allura's voice, and the fact it was back to being timid.
"Okay, I will ask that question again."
"I didn't expect it any other way."
Serena sighed, "I guess I should be thankful that you are accompanying me. I'd hate to be
there alone with him. Now, why don't we get to know each other better?"
~~
Trista stood outside a door, "I hope they listen."
Trista sighed, and knocked on the door.
"Trista?!" Michelle asked, shocked.
"Hello, Michelle. Is Amara and Hotaru home also?" Trista asked.
"Yes, but why are you..." Michelle began, but stopped as Trista walked past.
"Good," Trista said as she walked past Michelle, "And do close the door. I don't think the
neighbors should hear this."
Michelle closed the door, blinking.
~~
"So you're saying my daughter, MY BABY GIRL, is the heroine Sailor Moon?" Kent demanded.
"Basically, yes. Don't shout, either, her identity must be kept a secret." Lita said.
"And, since my daughter is Sailor Moon, some evil guy from the past has kidnapped her, right?"
Illene asked.
"Yes, there's more to that story, but now isn't the time to get into it," Luna said.
"You guys are Sailor Moon's protectors, right?" Sammy asked.
"Well, yeah," Raye said.
"THEN WHY DON'T YOU GO AND SAVE MY DAUGHTER?!" Kent shouted.
"Kent, the neighbors!" Illene said as soon as he was done.
"We're forbidden," Darien said quietly, "Other forces, more powerful then even us, are stopping
us."
~~
Dinner was quiet. Allura kept her head down and ate silently. Serena ate just as quietly,
but Diamond kept trying to get Serena to open up.
"Why won't you just leave me alone?!" Serena demanded.
"Princess!" Allura said.
"What?!?" Serena snapped, more loudly than she wanted to.
"I just wanted to tell you to listen to Diamond for a moment, it's for the best," Allura
whispered.
Serena sighed, "I'm sorry, Allura."
Allura grinned, and then thought to herself, 'Ugh. I hate playing this role. I'm so much
more independent than this, and I don't recoil so easily, but this is for the best. For both
parties I'm involved with.'
Diamond curtly nodded to Allura, and then he turned his attention back to Serena.
~~
"Thanks for dinner Mrs. Tsukino, but I'm going back to the temple for a fire reading." Raye
said.
"I'm going with her," Darien replied, and paused as Luna jumped onto his shoulder to tag along.
Amy, Lita, and Mina exchanged glances and got up too. Amy politely thanked the family, and
Mina grabbed Artemis by the tail and threw him around her shoulders.
"One of these days, Mina, one of these days," Artemis mumbled, trying to clear his head.
"Whatever Artemis," Mina replied, with a shrug, and almost knocking the dizzy cat off her
shoulder and onto the floor.
"Darien, wait a minute," Illene said.
Darien nodded, and Luna jumped to Amy's shoulder. The girls left and Illene ushered Darien
into the living room.
"Not being able to help Serena is killing you, isn't it?" Illene asked, gently.
Darien looked surprised, but then nodded. "It is, Illene. Knowing that's she's alone, with
somebody that has the potential to kill her if she doesn't do as he asks, it honestly is."
"You love my daughter a lot. I'm sure everything will turn out fine Darien." Illene said.
"Thank you Illene." Darien said.
"Now go to the temple with the girls," Illene instructed.
~~
Hotaru, who was now twelve (Authoress: FYI, Hotaru can grow more rapidly to a point
(Read the SuperS graphic novel 3 or just e-mail me) Plus, she grew normally for the past two
years.) watched as the adults bickered.
"Trista, why do you come now?" Amara asked.
Before Trista could answer, Hotaru asked a different question. "Is what you are asking us to
do the best for the Prince and the Princess?"
Trista smiled, "Yes, it is."
"Then tell me what help you need, and I'll do it," Hotaru replied.
"Thank you. Michelle, Amara? I've explained everything that I am permitted to explain, so are
you in?"
Michelle nodded.
Amara sighed, "Well, going by the majority, I have to choice. I'm in."
"Good, thank you. Okay, the only thing you have to worry about right now, is backing up the
Inner Scouts, since the Princess is a bit... indisposed of for the moment," Trista said.
Amara's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean 'indisposed'?"
Trista shook her head, "That I can't say a word of. Now be ready to help the scouts at a
moments notice. Right now, though, I must take my leave."
Before anyone could say a word, Trista walked out of the house faster than she had walked into
it.
"It's a good thing we didn't leave Tokyo," Michelle remarked absent-mindedly.
It was the truth. On the outskirts of Tokyo, Amara and Michelle had found a nice house (okay,
mansion) to raise Hotaru in.
~~
Dinner was finished and before Diamond could began to say a word about Serena and his love for
her, Allura quickly dragged, almost literally, Serena out of the room. The only thing she
mumbled as an excuse was a nice hot bath for Serena.
Serena frowned. She wanted to know what Allura was up to, but had this odd feeling she wasn't
going to find out from Allura.
"Allura, what is going on," Serena asked.
'I'm a patient person, really, but that question is beginning to annoy me,' Allura thought,
choosing to ignore Serena.
Serena growled, frustrated. She wanted an answer, and whether or not Allura was going to give
it to her, she at least wanted to know what Allura knew.
"What do you know?!" Serena demanded.
"I know two plus two equals four, the equation of y=mx+b translates into y equals the axis and
the number it represents, m stands for slope, x equals the axis and the number it represents,
and b means y-intercept, and that Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603, leaving the Scottish king,
James, to ascend the throne. Is that all, or would you like to know more?" Allura, dryly,
asked.
Serena blinked. Where had that sarcasm come from?
"I told you I couldn't answer that question, nor why I had to come to dinner with you and
Diamond," Allura said, her patience almost gone.
Serena sighed.
Allura frowned, "Look, I'm sorry I snapped. It's just been one of the those weeks."
"You've been having one of those weeks?! I've been kidnapped by the guy I hate more than
getting up early, I have no clue how I'm supposed to get out of here, and I've just heard
you rattle of some algebraic expression I've never heard of!" Serena said, sitting on her bed,
feeling most defeated.
Allura laughed. "I love pulling that one! It's for slope-intercept form. It's quite fun to
sit and spend a rainy day solving all kinds of problems like that."
"You spends an entire day doing that slope thingy?!" Serena asked, incredulously.
Allura smiled. "Yes."
"I could never spend an entire day doing that stuff! It would drive me crazy!" Serena replied.
~~
I think I'll stop it here.
Yes, the question thingy is still opened. I'll even answer your questions on slope.
