Episode #13 - Friendship Blossom Bears Fruit
Rini walked into Juuban Senior High and went to her first class, History. She was thinking about Hotaru and Robert and what was going to happen between them. Rini had never seen Hotaru so totally head-over-heels for a guy before in her entire life. From what she had heard about Robert from Hotaru and the others, he seemed to be a kind and sensitive individual, but Rini had an uneasy feeling about meeting him today. She copied the work that was on the blackboard and was finished by the time the bell rang. She walked to her next class and sat down. Robert and Hotaru. It sounded right. Rini couldn't really concentrate on the work she was doing because of what she was thinking about, but she really didn't care, this was more important to her than the chemical abbreviation for hydrochloric acid. She idly wrote the work down and completed most of it, planning on doing the rest at home. She got up and felt a knot of apprehension bind around her stomach as she walked to the café. Rini bought her usual lunch, a bagel with cream cheese, a bottle of water, and a cup of jell-o with a swirl of whipped cream on top. She walked to her normal table and sat down, Serena, Raye, Lita, Mina and Sarah were already there. Rini looked at Sarah, today she had her hair down, and it was neon green. Rini smiled as she sat down. "Hey Guys!!" She said happily. "Hi Rini!" said Sarah, flipping her hair over her shoulder as she did. Rini had come to think of Sarah as a real friend in the past few weeks, she was kind and was always ready with a joke or two too lighten the mood. "So, we gonna meet this boyfriend of Hotaru's today?" asked Mina. "I sure hope so, he sounds pretty neat!" said Raye. "Yeah, I just hope he's not like the guys I've dated," said Lita. "Oh, I don't think he's all that bad" said Serena. Lita looked at her. "I asked Michiru about'im, he's nice, kind, sensitive, the type of guy you'd actually want to date," said Serena. "Somehow, I don't think Haruka and Michiru worry too much about dating guys," said Raye. Serena and Rini stifled a giggle and Mina looked at Raye funnily. Rini looked around, she hadn't seen Hotaru anywhere, and they had been talking for twenty minuets. Rini began to eat her bagel when, all of a sudden, the lights went out! "Guess who!" said a voice she didn't know. She thought for a moment, and then said "Robert?" The lights were flipped back on again. "Good Guess Ms. Tsukino" said a quiet male voice. She turned around, a pair of gray eyes stared back from within a shroud of messy blond hair. "Mr.Kane?" Rini asked. "The one and the same" he said as he allowed Hotaru to sit down. She placed her tray down and Robert schooched in beside her. He set his computer case down beside him and flipped out the speaker, pressing the play button as he did. Light jazz music began to play as they began to talk. "Well Hotaru, why don't you introduce me to the rest of your friends?" "Well, everybody, this is Robert, and Robert, this is Lita," she said, pointing to the girl sitting beside Robert, "And this is Mina," she said, pointing to the girl beside her, "And this is Raye," she said, pointing to the girl beside her, "and this is Serena," she said, "And this is Sarah, and you've already met Rini" Robert smiled and said hello quietly. "So Robert, how old're you?" asked Serena. "Seventeen. why?" Serena looked at him. "No reason." she said. They were all thinking the same thing, he was only seventeen? He looked like he could pass for twenty-three! "Soo. Hotaru tells me that Ms.Kino is quite proficient in the martial arts, am I right?" "Very" Lita said indifferently. "Well, would you mind if we sparred sometime? I would love to see if you could give me a real workout" "What belt level are you?" "Black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Jujitsu, brown belt equivalent in Capouela, and green belt in Tai Chi" Robert replied softy. Lita looked at him. "I'll sure give you a run for your money" she said assuredly. Serena looked at Robert and Hotaru. They seemed right together, his sandy blond hair and gray eyes complimented Hotaru's alabaster skin and near black hair. They were near the same height, though Robert stood about three or four inches taller than Hotaru did. They both had very similar personalities and were both soft spoken. Serena looked at them. "You know somethin' you two, you look pretty good together." Robert looked at Hotaru, Hotaru looked at Robert, they both turned a shade of red that was usually reserved for fire engines and smiled embarrassedly. Rini shot a look at Serena that was like ice. Raye pinched Serena lightly on the leg and whispered into her ear. "They're already nervous enough, shut your big trap!" "Sorry!" whispered Serena. Mina piped up. "So , Robert, Whadda you do for a hobby?" "Not much. play the piano. monkey around with my computer. write. draw. pretty boring stuff if you ask me, why?" "Just wondering" she said with a smile. Hotaru looked at Robert. "You never told me you played the Piano." "Well. not wanting to sound like a cliché, but, you never asked" Robert said with a laugh. Hotaru smiled a little. "Would you like to hear one of my songs?" he asked. Hotaru and everyone else looked at him. "Just whadda you have in that case, hm?" asked Sarah. "I do have recordings of my songs you know" Robert said. "I'd love to hear you play" said Raye. He opened his case and clicked into his media player, selecting a few tracks. "This should give you a good idea of how I play" He pushed the play button. Soft piano music began to waft from the speakers of the computer. Ten minuets had passed and only a few songs had gone by. "It's beautiful" said Raye, enthralled by the music. "Wow." said Mina. "It's not much, just something I threw together in a few hours a coupl'a days ago" Robert said softly. Raye looked at him, he wasn't lying or boasting, he was simply stating fact. "What?" asked Robert, the others were looking at him like his head was on backwards. "You 'Just threw it together'?" asked Sarah. "Well, this is the final draft. there were a few technical bugs to work out before I actually set down the tracks" Raye's jaw just about punched a hole in the concrete. "How much free time do you have on you hands?" "Few hours a day. why?" "How do you have more than half a hour to yourself with the workload you get with your classes?" "Uh. I don't mean to be rude here or anything, but I just do my work in class" They looked at Robert. This guy was smart, funny, played the piano, sensitive and was very polite. But the thing that set him apart was that he wasn't boastful about it. He just went about his daily routine. He smiled whenever Hotaru made a joke, laughed most of the time to. They could tell that they both liked each other a lot, but were too nervous around each other to admit it. Robert smiled inwardly, he knew that Hotaru liked him, but he would never dare ask a girl he had only known for three days to become his girlfriend, but still. it would be nice to have a girlfriend. even if it was for a little while. How could he ask her out! She hadn't even seen his apartment yet! He wanted everything to be just right when he asked Hotaru out. but he knew that it wouldn't happen very easily. it was a near impossibility! Robert smiled half-heartedly and bid the others adieu for a while, assuring them he would return. He walked around for a while, thinking to himself. What if Hotaru had changed her mind? What if he had taken too long and she had lost interest? Robert was mentally beating himself up while he walked. I know I'm not good enough for a woman like her, she's probably only tolerating me to be nice. should I ask her out? What if she says no? Christ's sake, she hasn't even seen my place yet, let alone really gotten to know me. Sure, were friends now, but what will happen if she finds out about me being Starslayer? I know that Sailor Saturn is married in Crystal Tokyo, and the man she is married to is very lucky indeed, but can I jeopardize the time line just to satisfy my romantic wishes? Could I actually do that? Never! Queen Serenity would kill me! That is if she's still alive when I return. this is so confusing. "Robert?" a small voice snapped him out of his dark reverie. He looked around, Hotaru was standing there, with his computer case. "What? Did I miss the bell?" he said as he came back to reality. "No, we've still got half a hour" "Good" he said with a forced smile. "You don't hafta smile just for me, you know" Hotaru said in a quiet voice. "Yeah, but I like to" Robert said, smiling again. Hotaru looked uncomfortable as she stood there, holding Robert's computer case. "Uhm. Robert?" "Yeah?" "Would you.. uhm. that is to say. I was wondering if. you would wanna. sorta. well. go out with me?" Robert looked at Hotaru, his jaw nearly punched a hole in the ground. He was too stunned to even stammer a reply. "Robert?" he blinked a few times. "Earth to Robert!" she said, snapping her fingers beside his ear. "H-H-Hotaru. I. I would love to!" he said, grasping her in a tight hug. She smiled as she put her arms around him. Serena and the others peeked at them from within the bushes they were hiding in. "Well, looks like it's a yes" said Mina. "Really, what gave that one away Sherlock?" Lita said. "Knock it off you two!" Raye whispered loudly. They were all very interested in what was going to happen next. "Hey, Hotaru" "Yes?" she answered softly. "Would you, well. wanna see my place tonight?" "Sure!" Robert smiled again and hugged the small girl even tighter. She responded in kind. They were off in a world of their own. "Hey there lovebirds" said an icy voice. Robert looked up. It was Bobbi-Jo. "What do you want??" he asked with an angry edge on his voice. "Just came by to tell you that the bell rang ten minuets ago." "Your point? I think we can afford to miss one period, right?" he said, looking at Hotaru with a smile. She nodded and rested her head on his shoulder. "Fine, just don't blame me when your parents tear a strip off'a you for skipping classes today." "Whatever" Hotaru said wistfully. Bobbi-Jo shrugged her shoulders and walked away. "If only she knew the truth" said Robert. "Yeah, if only" Hotaru didn't care about school right at this moment, she was with a man that she was almost certain truly cared for her, and she knew that she truly cared for him. Robert looked at this goddess that had chosen him. he was still in awe of her. Now he had two duties being Starslayer, protecting the future, and protecting Hotaru. Nothing would stop him in either duty either. He looked at Hotaru, her eyes closed as she rested her head upon his shoulder. Her black hair almost glowing purple in the sun, her skin like alabaster, her lips like two soft rose petals. How he wanted to kiss her, but he wouldn't do that, not yet. He simply held her close and was truly happy for the first time in a very long time.

Shino sat on her bed, reading a magazine. Her father had excused her today to catch up on her studies, but she really didn't need to. What she wanted to do was talk with her father for a few minuets. He was always ready with an encouraging word or a hug, but he was very hard to talk with, but that was because he was so busy. She got up and sat down at her desk, putting on a pair of reading glasses. "Damnable things, I hate wearing these stupid glasses. but I really don't wanna go blind" she muttered to herself. She perused her Advanced Calculus book and did the work that her father had assigned her to do. After twenty minuets, she was done. "Stupid humans. don't even know half of what they write about." Shino stood up and walked to her sound system, she placed a Cd in the player and pressed the play button. Soft jazz came wafting from the surround sound speakers. She danced to the music, moving across the floor fluidly with the music, the movements of her body in synch with the music, she moved with the fluidity of water. Shino smiled, she truly enjoyed dancing, it was one of the few things that she really liked doing, that, and training with her father. She knew that her father considered dancing a frivolous pastime, but to Shino it was more than that, it was a really good workout and she enjoyed the way it made her feel to dance. The Cd ended and Shino sat down, panting slightly from the intense dancing she had just done. After she had caught her breath she put another Cd on and logged onto the Internet. She surfed around for a while and ended up at the NASA website. There was some huge to-do about something new that had been discovered. She read the newly posted information.
".And as of 10:58 last evening, our Solar System has now been confirmed with a Tenth planet, given the name Vega, it has three satellites and has a size near that of Saturn. Preliminary reports show that the planet has been struck repeatedly with asteroids and meteors, and has lost all atmosphere. While this planet is significant in the fact that we now have a new planet to explore, it seems that there will be no significant findings about this planet as of yet."
Shino logged off the Internet and walked to the training hall. She walked inside, directly to her father. "Papa?" "Yes, daughter of mine?" "I have news for you" "Really?" said Geoff, parrying a strike from Zigokuno's sword, then attacking him with a quick stab from his halberd. Zigokuno bowed to his father, Geoff did likewise, and then he turned to face his daughter. "So, what is this news?" "They have discovered a Tenth planet on the fringe of the solar system, just past Pluto. They called it Vega" "Well. They discovered. the tenth planet? Took them long enough. though. it's not called Vega. it's called Kyron" Geoff said quietly, as if he was thinking about something else. "Papa? Are you Okay?" asked Shino, putting a hand on his lower arm. "Hm? Oh. I'm fine. yes, the tenth planet. Well. things are certainly getting interesting" Geoff said as he walked to his office. He sat down at his desk and looked at a small replica of the solar system. Kyron was already on the replica, though it was coloured like earth, massive continents and huge oceans dominated the surface, massive mountain ranges running through the continents. "My. home." Geoff said quietly. It was as if a floodgate had been opened inside his mind, he remembered everything. He was the crown prince of Kyron, the only child of the Kyronese Royalty. He had been brought to the moon when his parents had learned of a massive meteor heading towards Kyron. Most of the planet's populace had evacuated to its sister planet, Charon. The royalty had stayed behind with their most powerful wizards and sorcereresses to try and deflect the meteor away from Kyron. It didn't work. Although they had succeeded in moving the massive meteor, it wasn't enough. The meteor had impacted through Kyron and took a massive piece of it out, disrupting the eco systems and instantly killing everyone on the planet surface. The meteor continued on it's path of destruction, missing all the others planets, but impacting solidly against Charon, creating the asteroid field. Kyron held its path in the cosmos, as did the asteroid field; they were synchronous. Geoff remembered being told that he was now the King of Kyron, and was declared a ward of the Moon Kingdom by Queen Serenity. It was then that his training had begun to become the Solar Senshi for this System. "My. mother. my father. my. friends. all of them. dead. no. it can't be. Why does this have to happen. why was I sent away. my entire family. dust in space? I am the only one left now! Just another thing to make the Sailor Senshi pay for" He said, clenching his fist so hard that his fingernails pierced his skin, making him bleed slightly. Black ichor dribbled down his clenched fists. "They will pay. I will make them all pay!" Geoff said, his voice low and growling, his eyes glowing with red energy.
