Sparkles of the Past
Chapter#2
Lost
Ok, This is rated R for language and probably some other stuff too, just not Yet. I hope
who ever is reading this is liking the story. I don't kn9ow because only one wonderful
person reviewed it so far. Does no one CARE?!?! *Sniff* *Sniff*
She was lost.. and after shedding her tears over it she felt foolish. Why did she cry so
much? it was such baby stuff. She had thought that she had grown out of it last year, when
she decided to become the perfect s princess and scout leader. Apparently she hadn't
though and she wanted to hit herself for it. There was nothing to do just sitting here, so
she might as well find a place to sleep for the night. She looked at the horizon, splendid
colors of purple and gold and pink slashed across it and she almost thought about just
sitting here to watch it. This thought made her think about her prince. So far away on
Earth. Would he be looking for her yet? Would the others? Making up her mind to be
sensible she came to her feet and started to walk toward a hut that she had seen earlier in
the day. As she neared she noticed that there were lights on! A slight spring of hope
sparked inside of her. Maybe the people there would help her find her way home. She
knocked on the door quietly and waited. When no one answers she knocked louder.
Footsteps echoed out to her and the door opened to a naggling old woman .
"Who's there?" she grumbled. Upon spotting Serena she growled. Serena backed away
cautiously, and gave the woman her very brightest 100 watt smile.
"Hello, my name is Serena, I was wondering if maybe I could ...." SLAM!! the door shut
in her face. She grimaced how rude! Steeling her self she again knocked on t he door
loudly and waited for the sour old woman to open it again.
"What is it!" the door opened and Serena smiled again.
"I am sorry....."
"What? What was that, speak up!" the woman cocked her head to one side and leaned
toward Serena.
With a start Serena realized that the senile old woman must obviously be
deaf. Speaking in her loudest voice which in truth could have made a non - deaf person
become deaf she said very slowly and using her lips over much that she was Serena and she
was lost and could she stay here for the night? The woman though for a while and
nodded her head in a consent. Serena heaved a sigh of relief. She helped the woman
whose name was Natia, to clean the dishes, which were actually flat disks made of a metal
that Serena had never seen before, not surprising since she had never been on this planet
before. The lady thanked her and sat down upon her rocker. She was deaf but she could
talk and she started to tell of her planet. She had not been born and raised on this world
but on another . One that was a beautiful shade of blue and the most serene seas were her
home. Deep soothing waters that calmed the soul and brought peace to those who needed
it. Under the water was where they built their homes and there it was that they lived
peacefully. Or had, until an evil force had come and taken over it. Now they lived on
separate planets, forced to escape in order to survive. They had come so unexpectedly and
unannounced that even the queen of the planet had not foreseen it. The Queen was a good
one and her people had made sure of her safety and dared a heroic effort to save her first.
After she was saftely away they had rebelled and been slowly slaughtered for their efforts.
The lucky remainders had fled and here she as. Far away from her beloved planet.
"What of the evil? Are they still there?" Serena asked. She was getting upset, Natia was on
the verge of tears and she felt somehow close to her knowing how she felt to have lost her
home to evil.
"Yes dear they are, not even the great Queen has the power to defeat them."
"What great Queen, where is she, had she tried?"
Natia could only shake her head, Serena was asking too many questions too fast and she
couldn't keep up with them. She merly stated that she was tired and needed her rest. She
showed Serena where she could sleep and then hobbled to her own chambers. Serena
waited until she was sure that Natia was sleep ing soundly then quietly went outside to
think. She laid on the ground and gazed at the night sky. The stars were incredible. Serena
sucked on her breath at their beauty. Hundreds upon hundreds of them blazed in t he sky.
A few stood out and she could only guess that the bluer one was Natias home world. The
other two must have been other neighboring worlds. They were almost as large as the
Moon back at home. Tears welled in her eyes and she hurriedly brushed them away. She
was not going to cry. She was Sailor Moon, champion of justice and Sailor Moon was
brave, she didn't cry like a baby. She closed her eyes and relaxed trying to make the
aching in her shoulders disappear. A strange sensation crept up her spine. Something
familiar , she could have sworn that it was magic. Forcing herself to not get anymore
exited she concentrated harder and listened, actually listened to the night sounds around
her. No crickets chirped but something else was there, an almost creepy sensation, and yet
it flowed to her and she felt immediately calmed. Her thoughts drifted to Small lady. She
saw Reenie running and playing on the palace grounds, but not of Crystal Tokyo, instead
the pink child scrambled on the lawns of the Moon Kingdom. Trees bloomed and the sky
was bright. It was no longer in the shambles that Queen Beryl's attacked left it in. Instead it
was like the Silver Times. Serena jolted up with a start, and fell a good eight feet to the
ground.
"OOAF!" she grunted and rubbed her backside. That was going to hurt a smidge. How in t
he world had she gotten so high up? t was as if she had floated. Impossible, not even
Sailor moon had thought up that feat. As she walked back to the hut she thought about
Natia, the poor woman was at least seventy in earth years, and she had been so kind to
Serena. How could she repay her? And who was this Good Queen who could not save her
planet? Serena intended to find out in the morning.
A consistent knocking wakened her too early in the morning in her standards and she
covered her head with a pillow.
"Uughh" she groaned and sat up in irritation, the knocking didn't stop.
"That brat, Sammy better knock it off if he knows whats good for him." She sleepily sat
up and struggled with the golden stands that had landed in her face. This isn't my room,
where am I ? Then she remembered, a distant planet, lost, the old woman. Serena sat up
quickly and reached out her hands for the cloths she had worn the day before. They weren't
there. Gasping she scanned the room to discover that where her cloths had been, there was
a long dress. She also noticed a bowl of what looked like fresh water near the bed. Sighing
and still mumbling about having been woken up at this ungodly hour of the day she
washed herself the best that she could and slipped the gown over her head. It fit perfectly!
The dress was a pale purple and swirled around her ankles when she walked. She was
however at a loss on how to do her hair since her pony - tail holders were in the pockets
of her skirt from the day before. She ran her fingers through the strands and deftly braided
it into a long braid. Plucking a strand from her head she wrapped it around the tail of the
braid and let go. Promptly she winced. her hair was still too long and brushed the floor
when she walked. There was nothing she could do about it now so she made a mental note
to ask Natia if she had any ties, or at least where her cloths were!
She walked outside to see Natia banging on t he side of the hut with a broom. She tapped
her on the shoulder and asked slowly, what was she doing? Natia made a frantic pointing
gesture at he room and turned pleading eyes to Serena. Serena glanced quickly at the roof
and saw the absolutely cutest thing in the world, or at least her world. It wasn't a monkey,
or a bear, but it certainly resembled them. It was plastered up on the straw of the roof and
was making mewing sounds as it glanced at the ground. Serena smiled, it was obvious that
some how the little creature had made its way to the roof and now didn't know how to get
down. The pet must belong to Natia, she thought and looked for a way up the hut. She
found it on some old rocks in the back and lifted her skirts to climb up. Natia pulled on her
skirts and Serena glanced behind her. Natia said carefully,
"Be careful SSSerena." and let go. She nodded and started to climb, Don't look
down.. Don't look down.....Don't look...Dammit! She looked down, she was only a small
distance up but shivered, oh..., she hated hieghts. Stealing herself she began her accent
again and breathed a sigh of relief, she had made it. She started to crawl on her stomach
and winced inwardly when the straw poked through her gown and pierced her skin. There!
she spotted the creature. It looked at her with pleading eyes and mewled again. "Come
here sweetie, I wont hurt you." She said softly. The creature tool a few steps toward her
and stopped. She kept talking and when it still didn't move farther she grunted. This was
not going well.
"Umi! Come here this instant." She said it softly but used the tone she would have used if
it were Reenie. Immediately the animal came forth and snuggled against her chest. "There
we go that wasn't so bad was it?" She cooed and began the decent down the side of the
hut, Umi cradled in her arms. Umi, where did that name come from? It suited the
animal perfectly thought, it was small and cute. Once down she handed Umi over to Natia
who gr abbed it and squeezed until Serena thought Umi would suffocate. Umi, Serena
learned when she asked Natia about her, was over centuries old, 900 to be exact. The
animal came from a race on Natias home planet and they lived until they wanted to die,
they could live up to millenias old! However they only stayed at one stage, young. No
matter how young they were they were the smartest creatures in the universe and had a
wealth of knowledge in them.
"How did you find her Natia?" Serena asked scratching Umi behind the ears.
"Natia no find her, sssshe find Natia. Ssshe no ssspeak yet though." Apparently Umi could
not talk until she found her true master.
"How sad, Serena mumbled and gazed at Umi. She has the prettiest eyes I have ever seen,
Serena thought. A liquid color of silver. Instantly Serena felt a bond grow between her and
the fuzzy bundle. She was so cute and Serena felt compelled to protect her. She was
however Natias and Serena couldn't part the two, Natia needed a companion. She stood
up and told Natia tat she was going to explore a while and set Umi on the ground. As she
was opening the door she felt something brush up against her leg, startled she shrieked and
jumped into the air about two feet. Glancing down she saw that it was only Umi and
shook her head at herself. The old Serena was still there, and popped out at the weirdest
times. She kind of missed her. Since the defeat of Proc the old Serena had just disappeared.
In her place was the new and improved Serena who was always on time and extremely level
headed. Rarely did a spontaneous action appear out of her. It was slightly boring.
Serena walked through the small woods of red trees and just as she thought she was lost
she broke through the heavy branched and discovered a glen. It was beautiful, and large!
Umi rushed ahead of her and started to dance around on her back paws, her long tail
flying about her. Serena laughed, she couldn't help it Umi was so adorable just dancing
around like she had not a care in the world. How Serena longed to join her. Umi stopped
suddenly and looked expectantly towards Serena. "Oh Umi, I can't what if they see me?"
Serena whispered then paused. They? They were on earth, no one was here to catch her ,
no one would know how irresponsible she was. A huge grin spread over her face. She was
free! Giggling she let Serena of old out. She came like a whirlwind and Serena found
herself twirling in large circles her braid flying out behind her. Exhausted she fell to the
grass and laid there arms and legs spread out in limbo. She smiled and turned to Umi
who lay next to her. She turned toward the sky, it was a gorgeous day and she felt alive and
free for the first time in a while. Little did she know that some one was watching her,
back behind the trees, a dark shadow with piercing eyes.
