Girl of the Future
A/N: Well, this story is sort of like ' Colors of the Future ' by Thundercub except when I had the idea
for this, I had never read it, and the only thing that is sort of like it is the fact that Niji comes from
the future and that she does it when the kids are fourteen and fifteen. Although, Niji will stay
for a while, so it isn't really like it at all. Colors of the Future is a great story, I recommend
anyone who reads this story to read that one, too. =) It's a lot like the Rini-Sailormoon story in
many respects, but different, too, so I hope you find this story interesting. Btw, Niji means Rainbow.
Okiedokie, I think that's all that needs to be said, oh yeah, Niji is (c) to me and the older Color Kids'
looks are too. Ok? Here we go! =D
---
A pretty blonde girl of about fourteen was leaning on a railing at the top of a magnificent
castle which was all colors of the rainbow. She smoothed back her long blonde hair and wondered
whether she should have gone back to the ponytail style instead of wearing it free. She was slender
and had toned arms and legs. She wore a blue dress which ended halfway down her thighs with white
trimming at the bottom, a gold choker and a belt with a rainbow on it, and white suspenders like she
always wore attached to it and down her back. She wore rainbow boots which only reached her knees
and fingerless rainbow gloves to match. Her eyes were a pretty crystal blue, her skin was slightly
tanned and her blond hair reached just above her elbows, and rainbow highlights were beginning to
emerge in it - she could only guess that these changes, along with her body, came with aging.
She surveyed the scene below her and smiled. The sprites pushed around wheelbarrows of
colour crystals and star sprinkles. She could see her fellow color kids at work, helping out the
Sprites and doing their own things. She put a strong arm on the railing, swung her body over,
and fell expertly to the ground, landing on both legs. It was one of her favorite tricks, but
most of the Kids and Sprites were used to it by now.
" Hiya Rainbow! " It was Tickled Pink. " Got any time? I have nothing to do at the moment. "
Pink had also grown, and like Rainbow, looked about fourteen. Her glossy pink hair still was in
pigtails, although, now, they were located lower on her head. She wore basically the same outfit
as rainbow, with the blue replaced with pink, and the belt replaced as white with a pink star on
it. Instead of gloves, she wore white wristbands, and instead of rainbow boots, pink and white
striped ones. There was also a slit in the front of her dress, although it wasn't very deep.
" Sure! " said Rainbow, " What exactly were you thinking of? "
" I don't know, just a stroll. " Pink said. The two friends walked off into the mines, where
they saw many little sprites hard at work. They said hello and kept walking. They were chatting, and
didn't realize how far they went, how dark it had gotten, until Rainbow pointed it out.
" Do you know where we are? "
" Er... no... I wasn't paying attention... "
Rainbow fumbled around in the dark on the floor for a star sprinkle, cursing the fact that
she had forgotten her pouch. She felt one, picked it up and held it to her belt. It glowed yellow
and lit up the area they were in. She looked around. The walls were covered with glittering color
crystal that had yet to be mined. She had no idea where they were.
" I've never seen this area of the mines before... " murmured Rainbow.
" Helloooo! " called Pink. No one answered after a few moments and they couldn't hear anyone else.
Rainbow looked around and behind her. There were three entrances where they had come from, and 3
in front. " Which one did we come out of? " she asked nervously.
" I have no clue. "
***
" Ok, Ni, sweetie, let's go over this. " a tall, blonde, pretty woman somewhere in her early
thirties or late twenties adjusted the hair of a small blonde child, and they both looked into a jewel-
encrusted mirror.
" I know, I know, never tell who I am, listen to you... um, Rainbow, do my duties, then leave. "
said the child.
" Good. " The woman put her hands down and turned her child around. " Niji, dealing with
time is a big responsibility. It's very dangerous, too. Always be careful. Don't scare the kids with
your story. Take some time before letting them know. " she looked into her daughter's face with eyes
filled with love and worry. She leaned over and kissed the top of the child's golden-haired head.
" Do you have the key? "
" Yes, momma. " Niji extracted a small key that was on a chain hiding underneath her dress.
The key was pure gold, with a little blue gem at the top. It glittered innocently.
" Never use it unless you need to, and when you come back, you remember that. You are only
there to be trained, and that is all. When you feel that you are strong enough, you will come back."
the older woman adjusted the jewel-encrusted crown on top of her own head. " If you are ready... if
you are prepared... "
" /Yes,/ momma. " sighed the child in an annoyed sort of way. " We've gone over this. "
The older lady smiled faintly and sat down on the bed. They were in a large bedroom and the
child stared solemnly at her mother. " Do it now, I fear I might change my mind. " The child walked
forward into her mother's arms, kissed her on the cheek, and then, straightening up, faced the empty
wall and held the key in her hands.
" Time Gate, OPEN! " The key glowed a brilliant blue, getting brighter. The woman shielded
her eyes as the light became a blinding white, then-
It was gone.
The Queen smiled with relief. It had been done successfully. She looked into the blank spot
where her child had disapeared, and whispered softly, " Good Luck... "
***
" Let's try this one. " Pink looked around at the different cave entrances and motioned for
Rainbow to follow her into one on the left. They walked for a while, but there was no sign of anyone.
" Wrong turn. " Rainbow sighed. They had just begun to turn back around when they heard a thud and
an 'Ouch!' They whirled around and found a cute little girl sitting on the ground, who had appeared out of
nowhere. She was quite cute, with golden blond hair that tumbled just below her shoulders with strategically
placed rainbow streaks and crystal blue eyes. She wore a blue dress with white trimming on the bottom, and it
also had blue shoulderpads with white stars on them. The bottom of it extended in the back and was behind her.
She also wore rainbow striped elbow protectors. Her blue boots had a red, green, and yellow line running down
their middles, but the strangest accessory she wore was a gold belt- with a rainbow on it- and white suspenders.
The belt could only mean one thing... could she be a color kid?
" She looks like you, Rainbow! " gasped Pink.
" Tell me something I don't know. " said Rainbow, softly, her eyes on the petite girl, who looked about
eight. " Who are you? "
The girl looked up, startled, as if she had just noticed that they were there. Quickly she
racked her brain for what she had reviewed with her mother-
" My name is Niji... but that's all I know. " Yes. That was it. She and her mother had decided that she
should act clueless as to why she was there.
" Hey there, Sweetie. " said Rainbow gently.
Sweetie? That was her mother's nickname for her! She had found her... her mother's past
self!
She still sat on the ground, looking convincingly confused. Rainbow knelt down. " Come,
let's get up. " she extended a hand and Niji slid her tiny hand into it and Rainbow helped her up.
" Can you tell us how you got here? " she asked in the same gentle tone.
" I'm sorry, I can't. "
" That's perfectly fine. " Rainbow stole a sideways glance at Pink, who nodded.
Who was this stranger? The thought kept playing over and over in Rainbow's head. And why,
just why, did she look so much like her? The fact that she had memory loss- or it seemed- just
added to the confusion.
" Er- We regret to inform you that- um, we're sort of lost. We found you by accident. "
said Pink, her first words to Niji.
" It's ok, Pi- I mean, " Niji stammered, flushing red, " It's ok. I can help. " She looked
the pink haired girl up and down and recalled Pink Sugar, her daughter. They looked a lot alike-
and so far, it seemed, personality-alike, too.
Rainbow raised an eyebrow. " How? You've never been here. "
' I know this place like the back of my hand! I'm always here! ' thought Niji to herself,
but to the girls she said, " I have a weird talent for direction. "
" Oook. " said Pink uncertainly, eyeing the new girl with confused intrest.
" Come. " said Niji, and she turned to Rainbow. " Can I have that? " Rainbow handed over
the glowing star sprinkle. Niji held it above her head. The light lit up the crystals even more then
before- when Niji took it, it seemed to glow brighter- or was that Rainbow's imagination. Niji began
to lead them out, and pretty soon they were in a familiar area, then sooner they saw a sprite, then
another, until finally they were out.
" That was amazing. " said Rainbow appreciatively with a smile. Niji glowed, literally.
" By the way, my name's Rainbow. Rainbow Brite. And that's Tickled Pink. Those creatures
back there are Sprites. " Rainbow began to lead the way to the castle and while doing to repeated
information to Niji that she already knew - she had lived here for eight years, after all.
However, Niji nodded politely as if she was just learning this, and as they neared the
castle, a familiar galloping of hooves reached their ears. It was Starlite.
" That's Starlite. My special horse. " Rainbow grinned.
The younger girl had one look at the horse and gasped. She clamped her mouth shut to keep
from yelling out loud, " Daddy?!?! "
---
Yeah, I know, you're all confused: How can STARLITE, of all creatures, be Niji's father? Well, that's
something ya gotta wait for ^_^ I hope you liked this so far! I worked hard on it! Chapter two soon!
