Welcome to the tenth part of my "Short story". Does that even make sense? Calling a story ten
parts long short? Well, it Started out as a short story.... But I guess my muse had other plans. Anyway I'm
Lance the Flamesniper, for better or worse a huge fan of Her Timelessness, Sailor Pluto and The Pyro
Princess, Sailor Mars. But, I digress...
I Don't Own Sailor Moon. Naoko Takeuchi does. Cloverleaf owns the rights here in North America
to the anime Series. I'm making no money off this, but I do hope you send me e-mail. I appreciate getting
e-mail and will write back when possible.
Oh one more thing. When I write Setsuna stays Setsuna and Hotaru keeps her given name, but
all other Senshi are North American named. Why? Mostly 'cause I don't like the name Trista, Am not from
France and get confused when having too many names with the same first letter. ^_^ On with the show.
Hotaru's Date part 10
by
Lance the Flamesniper
No one knew who was more upset when the meeting was called. But when the Outer senshi call a
meeting it MUST be important. It was to be held at the Cherry Hill Temple. Thus at four in the Afternoon
four Girls in their early Twenties gathered at the Temple.
"Couldn't this wait? I was in the middle of work and had a deadline!" Whined Serena.
"Can it Meatball brain! We all have lives that were interupted!" Raye huffed. She was in the middle
of writing a new song and did NOT want to be disturbed.
"Raaaaayeeeee! Why are you so mean to me!!??" Wailed Serena.
"This," A male voice began,"Is the Moon Princess?"
"Hard to imagine, I know," A female voice added teasingly.
The four turned to see what at first glance would seem a set of twins. The two had Raven black hair
and violet eyes. However the way that the girl, Hotaru Tomoe, also known to her fellow Senshi as Sailor Saturn,
leaned her head on his shoulder gave away that they were in no way related and that their looks mere
coincidence. On the man's other shoulder sat a grey cat with Green Eyes.
Just then the ever late Mina arrived. For a long moment no one spoke. Then came the sound of a
speeding car screeching to a halt. Amara, Michelle and Setsuna walked casually into the yard a few minutes later.
"You are aware," Setsuna began. "That there are speed Limits posted for driving in the city right Amara?"
"And those limits are?" Amara Shot back.
"About forty Kph less than what you drive," Setsuna said under her breath.
"I see you've seen the reason for our Meeting," Michelle said ignoring the argument and indicating the
young man standing next to Hotaru.
"He's the reason you called us in?" Lita asked looking very skeptically at the man.
"Hey I remember you! You're James Everwolfe. I was at your art show last night!" Serena gushed.
"Yes, your majesty, I remember you as well," James replied with a slight Bow.
"You're the one I gave the fire Reading to!" Raye said remembering him.
"Guilty as charged," James agreed. Upon seeing these five relatively new people suddenly go into
defensive stances made him raise an eyebrow to Amara.
"As much as I hate to admit it, He's not an enemy. He's a gardian," Amara said.
"A gardian?" All five inner Senshi rsponded.
"The gardian of Saturn," Setsuna Cut in. "Athena and I will explain."
Just then the cat on James's shoulder spoke up. "I'm from the future you see, I was sent back to find
the gardians. James was the first I found. For six years we've been battling Somnius who is looking for Crystal
Dreams."
"Crystal Dreams are the heart of Crystal Tokyo," James added.
"Okay, so what about these Gardians?" Lita asked.
"There are six Gardians. They're are made up of four princes, a knight and the Earth King," Setsuna
answered.
"Only six? Why only six and which three don't have one?" Mina asked.
"Well clearly we know two that do. The Earth Prince belongs with Sailor Moon. And Saturn has one,"
Amy said.
"Yes, but so does Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto," Hotaru added as she broke out of her dreamy
eyed state.
"Wait! I don't get one?" Mina asked frantically.
"That's right," Amara said. "But neither does Neptune or Uranus.
"That, That's so not Fair!" Mina groaned.
"You can blame Beryl for that," Setsuna said mysteriously.
"Why's that?" Mina asked.
"Do any of you remember the final night?" James asked.
"We were told about it. None of us remember it except maybe Setsuna," Amy stated.
"Okay well from what was peiced together In our post battle meeting the Gardians of Uranus, Neptune
and Venus were not on the Moon for final night and thus were not sent forward," James said.
"Post-battle meeting?" Lita asked.
"One of Somnius' nightmares attacked Michelle after the art show last night," Amara said. "We found
out about James being a gardian during the battle."
"We're going to have to find the other Gardians and fast. Somnius is very powerful and we need to defeat
him before it's too late," James said and was rewarded with the others nodding.

It was early evening now and the Meeting had broken up. Only Setsuna and Athena remained. Setsuna
stared whistfully as the setting sun her mind drifting back several years into the past.
"You know, I'm not from the future you know of don't you?" The cat said.
"Yes, I do."
"In my future, this mission fails. Do you know why?"
"I know many things about the way this Timeline should be, but not all things."
"We found all but one Gardian, according to the history I was told. But then we weren't able to find the
last one and Somnius destroyed all of us."
"I see. Have you told James of his failure?"
"No. I was sent back with the knowledge so that I could stop him from failing. However, the last Gardian
was yours."
"What?"
"We never found the Gardian of Pluto."
"I know where he is," Setsuna said with a trace of sadness. "But, I can't get to him."
"Then I suggest," Athena said as she got up to leave. "You find a way do do so. Or the future is doomed."
