Chapter 2
After the incident with Sean and Justin, the girls decided to just forget about it. After all, as Setsuna always says, "All will be revealed in due time."
They went to the mall and shopped for hours. As they were shopping, they noticed that many of people were looking at them menacingly. Even the usually smiling cashiers put a frown on their faces when it was their turn to pay. In one of the cosmetic shops Mina went into, the cashier didn't even give them a plastic, so she had to settle in putting it in one of Ray's EXTRA large plastic bags.
"Guys," Amy sighed, "We need to talk about what's going on. This day just can't be weird... it has to have an explanation. Why don't we all go to Crown's and talk about this... phenomenon!"
"I agree with Amy," Ray said, "Let's go."
The four headed to the arcade where Andrew worked in. They were just about to enter when Haruka and Michelle stopped them.
"What do you junks do you think you're doing?" Haruka asked. "Who even gave you the permission that you could go in?"
"What?" Mina hissed, "Who needs a permission to enter a stupid store!?!"
Michelle raised an eyebrow, "Did we just hear you say 'Stupid' store?"
Mina nodded her head as if saying, "Duh!"
Haruka glared at her, "You're really challenging us, aren't you?"
"No!" Lita said, "Look... we only want to enter the store so would you please...get out of our way?"
Haruka was about to say something when Sean and Justin appeared.
"Let them in, Haruka." Sean said.
Haruka smiled, "Sure, Sean."
Michelle stepped out of the way and opened the door for the girls.
"After you, ladies," she mocked, making Haruka, Sean and Justin giggle.
With confused looks, the girls entered the store and gasped.
This place... it isn't Crown's Arcade! This place is a... a palace!
***
But how? They were sure they were standing in front of the Crown's Arcade when the two Outers stopped them!
"Whe...Where are we?" Mina asked quietly, amazed at the beauty of the place.
They were standing in the center of a long hallway. What was amazing is that the place looked as if it had no walls, and that they felt as if they were walking on air. All they could see is the red carpet on the floor outlined with star-shaped lights. Everything else is black and what looked like silver glitters.
Amy, being the genius she is, looked closely at the glitters and gasped.
"We are..." Amy stuttered, making Haruka smirk, "We are at..."
"That's right, Amy," Sean said, "We're in space."
"WHAT?!?" Ray, Lita, and Mina shouted, "HOW COULD THAT BE?!"
"Don't you like it, girls?"
"Hi Darien," Michelle, Haruka, Sean and Justin greeted.
"DARIEN?!?" The four girls shouted again and looked at the said man with mouths wide open. "YOU KNEW ALL ABOUT THIS?"
Darien chuckled and said, "Yeah, it's not a state secret, you know?"
"So what you mean, Darien," Mina said, "Is that you are also a part of this... this conspiracy?!?"
"Darien!" Ray gasped, "How could you?"
"Now that's enough, Ray," Michelle interrupted before the fire priestess could say more. "You have no right to judge Darien!"
Darien chuckled, "Don't worry, Michelle. It's ok. Why don't you guys lead them to the throne room, then? I've got to get Serena from her room first."
Soon after, Darien disappeared.
Michelle nodded and took hold of Mina who was now shouting, "You mean that this is all because of Serena?"
Lita delivered a punch on Michelle's shoulder, making her release Mina.
"What did she do?" Lita asked angrily, "Did she come to you guys like the crybaby she is? Did she..."
"I don't want to hear anymore of this!" Justin suddenly shouted. "You have no right to talk about her in this fashion! Do you hear me? No right!"
With that, the little boy disappeared with a flash.
"Now you've done it," Sean said.
"You shouldn't have done that," Haruka said, while attending to Michelle's bleeding shoulder.
Ray, Lita, and Mina snorted.
But Amy was thinking of something else. How did the boy just disappear? And was that a cresent moon I saw when he disappeared?
tbc...
