Senshi From Beyond
Chapter 6
"You know, Vincent," Said Lauren. "You could be a bit more friendly."
"Whatever." Said Vincent, as he stopped for a traffic light.
"You can't get the most out of life by being so negative." Lauren pointed out.
"I know." Said Vincent. "You've told me that about a hundred times. But that's not what was bothering me."
"Oh?" Asked Lauren.
"It was those two girls we helped out." Said Vincent. "There was something about them."
"Do tell…" Said Lauren.
"They looked familiar." Explained Vincent, accelerating his Camero.
"Oh." Said Lauren.
"The weird thing is that I've never seen them before." Said Vincent.
"I wish I could help you help out there, Dear." Said Lauren. "But seeing that I'm blind and all…"
"I dunno." Said Vincent. "It's just one of those things. Not having a whole lot of memories doesn't help either."
"I know what you mean." Said Lauren. "Remember, it's the same with me."
"Right..." Said Vincent. "We're home."
As Raye and Lita walked up to the latter's apartment building, Raye pulled Lita aside.
"What is it?" Asked Lita.
"Umm, should we tell the others about what happened?" Asked Raye.
"I don't think we should." Said Lita. "It would only stress them out more."
"That's what was thinking…" Said Raye. "Well, let's hurry back then."
Lita nodded and the two walked into the building.
"I wonder what's taking them so long." Wondered Hotaru, looking out of a window.
"Oh, stop worrying so much, Hotaru." Said Rini. "They'll be back any minute now."
"I guess you're right." Said Hotaru. She took a sip of her soda before continuing. "I sorta felt like they had gotten into trouble or something."
"They can take care of themselves, Hotaru." Said Serena.
"Yeah, don't forget, they're Sailor Scouts, too." Said Mina, with a wink.
Suddenly they heard a knock on the door.
Michiru went over and opened it.
"Finally!" Said Serena. "You guys certainly took your time!"
"Yeah…" Said Raye.
Lita went into the kitchen to prepare the snack.
"You know, I can't remember the last time all of us were together like this." Said Amy.
"Well, not ALL of us are here, you know." Said Haruka.
"Huh?" Wondered Serena. "Oh. Setsuna."
"Speaking of which, where is she these days?" Asked Mina.
"I believe she's still going to KO University." Said Amy.
"Yeah." Said Serena. "She is. Darien said that he was gonna study with her tonight."
"Ohhh. Better watch out Serena…" Said Raye.
"What?" Asked Serena.
"Well, you know…." Said Mina, adding fuel to the fire.
"WHAT?!" Shouted Serena. "I can't believe you guys! My Darien would never do that to me!"
Raye and Mina laughed.
Haruka and Michiru just looked at each other and sighed and shook their heads.
Hotaru and Rini looked confused.
"I don't get it." Said Rini.
"Me neither." Said Hotaru. "It must be one of those "grown-up things" as Papa used to say."
After a couple more minutes of teasing Serena, Lita finally returned from the kitchen, with a plate full of smores.
"Oh, boy!" Said Serena. "Ohboyohboyohboy!"
"Hey, HEY!" Said Lita. "At least let me put down the plate!"
Michiru and Haruka just watched as Serena and the others fought over who would get the last couple of smores.
"Remember when we used to do that…" Said Michiru.
"Uh…." Haruka mumbled.
Michiru laughed as she saw Haruka blush.
Rini looked at Hotaru, trying to make sense of what Michiru and Haruka were talking about.
"Oh, um…I…dunno…" Said Hotaru, trying to change the subject. "Maybe there's something interesting on T.V…" She stood up and turned it on.
"Hee, Hee! These are great!" Mumbled Serena as she continued to stuff herself with smores.
Their mood quickly changed when they saw what was displayed on the television.
"This just in!" Shouted a reporter. "Several monster have appeared are town and have begun to destroy everything in sight! All attempts by local law enforcement officials to stop them have all ended in failure!"
Haruka turned off the T.V.
"I suppose we know that whatever these guys are, they mean business." She said.
"It's time to show them that we do too." Declared Serena.
