Disclaimer: I own nothing, but I'm working on it. (Has anyone seen a genie around anywhere?) Oh, I DO own something! Yay! I own the idea and Lizzy and Lindy. (Melinda is her real name but Lindy is what her nickname is.) I'm so happy that I own something! (Cries in joy.) Well, actually I own lots of things, like my teddy bear, my security blankie, my pacifier… (just kidding!)
LizzyTwo new girls were standing across the terminal. The smaller one, a red-head, was just staring as the older one, a brunette, dragged her towards us. They had told us that Saturn and Neptune were going to get protectors today. I looked at them and tried to guess who would go with who. You could never tell by a person's personality. Ami and I were both brainiacs but I wasn't as smart. Yet if you looked at Setsuna, Melinda was the exact opposite of her. Lindy was outgoing, bouncy, and sometimes overly hyper, but Setsuna wasn't any of those things, preferring to keep to herself. By my guess though, the brunette would be going with Neptune and the red-head was going to be Saturn's Protector. I looked over at Lindy, who was trying to have a conversation with Hotaru, Sailor Saturn, but wasn't having much luck. Hotaru was quiet, as always. I fingered my transformation pin (not pen) nervously. They stopped in front of us and just stood there.
GinnyHermione dragged me along as she walked towards the strange group of people. I found myself counting them silently. "1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10…11…12… Wait a minute, Hermione said that there were nine senshi, not twelve!" I looked them over and saw that the girl in the center was bending over and pretending to pet her cat but was really talking to it. She had her blonde hair in little things that looked like meatballs on top of her head. Somehow, I didn't feel like laughing, even though I would have if I was at home. Before I knew it, we were standing in front of the group.
HermioneI had to drag Ginny over to the senshi. It wasn't fun, to say the least. She made no effort at all to even move her legs, she just stared. We soon stood in front of the senshi, and a blue-haired girl stepped forward, followed by a black-haired girl. The blue-haired girl stood in front of me and the other one stood in front of Ginny. The girl in the center walked forward and said, "Hi, I'm Serena and this is Ami, Rei, Minako, Lita, Amara, Setsuna, Reeni, Hotaru, Michuru, Melinda, and Lizzy." The cat coughed slightly.
"Oh, and this is Luna, my cat. She can talk, but not in public. I'm really Sailor Moon, Ami is Sailor Mercury, Rei is Sailor…"
"Serena, can we wait until after they accept?"
"Well, they can't refuse, it's their destiny."
"Stop acting all princessey, meatball-head."
"Hey, Rei, that was mean!" Serena wailed.
"Yes, that was mean on Rei's part, but she has a point. Besides, shouldn't we do this in private? People are starting to stare," said Ami. Several people were looking curiously at our large group. So the senshi just walked away, expecting me and Ginny to follow. By this time Ginny had regained use of her legs, much to my relief, and only needed a little bit of pushing to get her started. We stopped walking when we reached a large, religious looking building. The sign on the door said, "Cherry Hill Temple," (I don't know if there really is a sign but I don't care.) in Japanese. Even so, I had no trouble reading it. I could tell Ginny could too because her eyes widened in surprise.
"Welcome to the Cherry Hill Temple," said Rei ceremonially.
GinnyWe walked and walked and walked until we finally reached some building. There was a sign in Japanese that I didn't bother trying to read. But when I looked back at it, I could read it! My eyes widened in surprise as I realized the senshi had been talking in Japanese without me noticing.
"Welcome to the Cherry Hill Temple," said Rei, but this time I was paying attention and so I realized that she was speaking Japanese but I really could understand her. We walked inside and met a cute boy who I assumed was working at the temple.
"Hi Chad," Rei greeted him.
"Hi," he replied with a blush. It was obvious that he liked her. We continued on into a room in the back, where the senshi stood in a circle around us.
Narrator
The senshi and their protectors stood around Hermione and Ginny in a circle. Michuru and Hotaru stepped forward, facing them like they had in the airport terminal.
"Do you accept that you are a Protector?" asked Serena
"Yes," Hermione replied instantly. Ginny hesitated.
"I guess so," she finally said.
"Good. Then you are ready to become one." She nodded at Michuru and Hotaru and they held out pins with the symbol of their planet. (like the symbol on top of their pens)
"If you take these pins, you will be bonded to your senshi. When she transforms, you will. You can also transform by touching your pin and saying, "Saturn Protection Power," in Ginny's case and "Neptune Protection Power," in Hermione's case. And before you accept, Hermione, you should know that your real name isn't Hermione. It's Sonya."
"I always hated my name. Sonya is much better," said Hermione/Sonya.
"Okay, if you're ready, take the pins." Sonya and Ginny reached out, Ginny a little slower than Sonya. When they both had them in their hands, the pins started to glow.
"Well then, you're really the right ones, we did have our eyes on twins, Parvati and Padma Patil, but you seemed like the more likely candidates," said Ami.
"Parvati and Padma? They go to our school!" said Ginny. The other scouts stared in surprise. It was the first time she had voluntarily spoke.
"Yes, we know," said Lindy, who had recovered the quickest, "But since only the Mercury and Pluto protectors were twins in the Silver Millennium, we thought that it would be unlikely for the Neptune and Saturn protectors to be reincarnated as twins."
"You're Lizzy's twin? But you don't look the same…" said Sonya.
"That's cuz we aren't identical."
"Oh."
GinnyI looked at Hotaru. She was really, really quiet. In a house with six brothers, things aren't normally quiet. It was a welcome change. I was always talking at home, but that was just so I didn't feel left out. Not that my brothers helped any, always playing Quidditch and not letting me join in. But Hotaru didn't seem like that. She wasn't very open either. "I don't know… she doesn't seem like she makes friends easily…" I thought.
SonyaMichuru seemed a little bit strange. Distant, not strange. Her hair was really pretty though. "I wish my hair was more like that, not so bushy and annoying," I thought enviously.
MichuruSonya seemed a lot like Ami, a real brainiac. "I wonder if we'll get along…"
HotaruThe girl in front of me seemed so puny. She looked kind of sad, as if she had experienced a great loss, but suddenly a flash of annoyance crossed her face, like she had remembered something that irked her. "I think I'm going to like her."
A/N: Thank you for reviewing!!!!!!!! I hope that the little lines helped make it easier to read. I am currently suffering from writers block… that's why I ended so shortly. I'll have to decide what happens… I think I might add another protector… Who knows?
Reviews motivate me to write faster on a fic. I have another one and whichever one gets more reviews I'm gonna work on. Besides, I'm really, really lazy. Thank you to the people who reviewed the last chapter, they are the only reason I got around to updating. Anyway, I need at least 3 more reviews to post Chappie 3 and some time, because I am going on vacation to Florida in about a week. They will, (eventually) go places, like Hogwarts, but this is gonna take a long time. If you want to email me my address is magicgalkairi@yahoo.com. Please put a subject, otherwise I will probably delete it. I did that with my friends email before on accident. Lastly, expect much slower updates after August 13 or 14, I'm going back to school. (Algebra… save me!) Oh, thanks again chibi pippin, Usagi Kou, and Serenity! Actually, expect much slower updates, AOL just started charging us extra.
