Chapter 5 is out! I hope you guys like it! :)
Many Questions
Mina looked down at her communicator. Amy's face appeared as she flipped the lid.
"Hey Amy! What's up?" Mina asked anxiously.
"Mina, we've called an emergency scout meeting today... It's pretty urgent, can you make it?" Amy asked.
"Sure, I'll have to get out of volleyball practice, but it'll be okay." Mina answered a little relieved.
At least it isn't another battle, she thought.
"Okay good! See you in a bit then!" Amy smiled.
"Okay bye!" Mina flipped the lit of the communicator shut.
I wonder what the meeting's for, she thought as she walked towards the gym to tell her coach she couldn't make it.
******************************************************************************
Amy looked up from her communicator as Mina blinked out. I wonder what this is about, she thought. It must be important, the Negaverse has been quiet for so long...
Her head jerked up as the bell rang. Last day of school, sort of disappointing to her, but she knew the girls were probably already cheering. She gathered her books quickly and headed out the door. Ignoring the somewhat reproachful look Jeffrey shot her.
She had felt truly awful about turning his invitation for coffee down the other day, but she truly did not have any time for boyfriends... Her life was too complicated, and the last thing she wanted to do was drag a boy or even a new friend into the mix. Everyone she ever cared about just seemed to get hurt in the crossfire.
I can't believe where I am now, she thought sadly. I'm seventeen and I'm fighting evil whenever it arises. This is so hard! When is my life ever going to be normal? Destiny has been what it's cracked up to be... So far it's only proven itself to be lonely... Then she grinned.
Yes it has been lonely, but now I have friends that will stick by me not matter what... because of that, I can't have any regrets. She frowned a little. I just wish I could enjoy some of the things people take for granted. I want romance, safety, and security, to be protected... I don't want to be the protector anymore...
I wish there were someone I loved to share my adventures with. Serena has Darien. They hold a bond that breaks all barriers. I want a something like that. I want to be kissed and held after a battle... I want to be guaranteed children and a future... Serena has all that. Why don't the rest of us?
"Because, Mercury, life holds no guarantees." A voice said behind her.
Amy whirled around startled.
"Oh Trista! It's you! You scared me!" she blurted out.
Sailor Pluto smiled at her and stepped out from under a tree. Her beautiful long green hair blew in the breeze.
"Are you going to the scout meeting Amy?" She asked pleasantly.
"Yes, I'm on my way right now... Are you?" Amy asked.
"No, I came here to give you a message. I must return to the Time Gate." Trista said, a little sad.
"Why?" Amy asked, "What's wrong?"
"I must protect the future from those trying to see it. Nobody should know their future, not even Darien and Serena..." Trista smiled thinly at Amy. "Don't forget Amy, the future does not hold the answers... Look to your past, and old friends will arise, as well as old secrets... Farewell Mercury, give the Scouts my love!" Trista said and in a gust of wind and a flash of light, she was gone...
Amy sighed as she watched her go. Trista must be so lonely, she thought. She hardly ever has a chance to be with the scouts, it must be hard for her... But what did she mean by look to the past? Does she mean the Silver Millennium? I wonder...
******************************************************************************
"Oh my goodness I'm going to be late!" Serena gasped and she ran down the street, dodging people as she went.
What is this meeting even about? The Negaverse hasn't shown its face since Sailor Galaxia! What could be the matter now?
Serena continued to race down the street and ran into the middle of the intersection without looking- right in front of an oncoming car! She screamed and saw the driver gasp and slam on the brakes! She hit the ground with her arms covering her head protectively. The car stopped inches from her. The car door opened and the driver stepped out running to Serena's side.
"Miss, miss are you all right? I didn't see you. You should really be more careful! Can you get up?" the driver asked worriedly.
The driver was speaking English so it took Serena a moment to understand what he was saying. He saw her confusion and realized his mistake.
"I'm really sorry miss, I keep forgetting what country I'm in. Although, no offense, but you really look American to me!" He said in Japanese. (AN: hee hee, don't they all? ;P)
"No, it's all right, I've been learning your language, I'm fine really. I'm very sorry, I was in such a hurry I didn't notice where I was going." Serena apologized looking up, and then she gasped!
He is the most gorgeous man I've ever seen! Serena thought immediately.
The young man smiled at her with his perfect white teeth. His short, light blond hair, styled much like Darien's, blew in the breeze. His bright green eyes matched the kindness in his smile. Serena smiled back.
"Well, if you're late, maybe I can give you a ride... Oh I'm sorry! My name is Anthony, Anthony Matthews. I just moved here from the United States... Do you need a ride?" He asked eagerly, "I'm really sorry, and it's the least I can do!"
Serena took a moment to take all of this in. A ride? This gorgeous guy was going to give her a ride?
"Yes I do, thank you! I'm Serena, but I must warn you, I do have a boyfriend, so don't expect a date!" Serena said quickly, not quite believing it was coming from her mouth!
He smiled at her again and Serena felt her knees go weak.
"All right Serena, where to?" he asked opening the door.
"Cherry Hill Temple please, and hurry!" Serena said tripping a little on the curb as she tried to get in, she giggled nervously. Despite her age, she still managed to klutz out once in a while.
Anthony laughed and got in. He started the car and sped off towards Cherry Hill Temple.
******************************************************************************
Serena got out of Anthony's car and smiled at him.
"Don't be a stranger now! I have a friend you might be interested in. Call me anytime, we'll all hang out!" Serena said quickly and waved, she turned and ran up the steps.
Anthony nodded and waved back, laughing as he watched her race up the steps. He started the car and pulled away. He glanced down at Serena's number on his dashboard. Why does she look... no, not look... Why does she * feel * so familiar? He asked himself. He quickly dismissed the thought and drove away, resolving to call her and hang out.
******************************************************************************
The Scouts began their meeting quickly. They all sat around in Raye's bedroom, cross-legged and eating the cookies Raye's grandpa had set out for them. Luna sat before them and spoke to the girls.
"Girls, I have some new information. We have detected a new evil, and we think it's the Negaverse. You must be on constant alert now! However, this isn't the only reason why this meeting has been called today. Lita and Raye have something to share with you all, but before we begin, does anyone have anything to report?"
"Yes, I do," Amy said quickly. "Trista has returned to the time gate, and she has also given me news..."
"Well, what is it?" Amara asked quickly.
"She said that we must look to the past, not to the future... I think she means the Silver Millennium." Amy said thoughtfully.
Lita and Raye both gasped.
"That's it, I knew it!" Raye whispered.
"What is it?" Michelle asked curiously.
"The reason this meeting was called," Lita began, "is Raye and I both have had disturbing dreams. I believe it is of our past. The strange thing is, we both had dreams about men..."
"Men? What's the big deal? I have dreams about men all the time!" Mina exclaimed!
"Do these men look familiar and carry swords, promising to protect you and asking you to find them again?" Raye snapped.
Mina shut her mouth, "No." She said sullenly.
Raye flinched slightly, regretting that she had hurt her friend. "I'm sorry Mina, but these dreams are terrifying. Mercury's story has pointed me in only one direction; I must do a fire reading. I must find the origins of these dreams."
Lita nodded, "We'll do it together Raye."
Raye suddenly began to cry. The girls gasped and ran to her side.
"Raye are you all right?" Serena asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, it's just that I was really frightened in my dreams! Then the man that saved me... He was something special, someone I really cared about! He was trying to save me in my dream, and I know he would've died to save me. I have a feeling he did..." Raye sobbed. "I must find who he is, and soon!"
The girls nodded and held her. They had to do this, and with the danger of the Negaverse, they knew it wasn't going to be easy. Luna hung her head. 'Serenity, can't I tell them something?' She asked.
'No Luna, not yet, we must see what we're up against. I have a feeling the Negaverse knows of the Sailor Knights. Our timing must be perfect so let the Scouts find out slowly. All the knights are now in Tokyo, and we can revive them whenever we want. Be patient.'
Luna nodded and walked out of the room. Tears from Raye were hard to bear.
