Chapter 2
Usagi woke up with the distinct feeling that she was being watched.
"Luna, go away it's too early to get up. It's Saturday" Usagi exclaimed.
"I am sorry your highness but I must talk to you" said Setsuna.
Usagi's eyes went wide and she sat up quickly in bed. Her eyes were big and in their blue depths
there was fear.
"What is it Puu?" her voice was strong and controlled but her hands clenching the sheets tightly
showed something else. She was scared. She didn't want her peace shattered anymore. She wanted
to be a normal girl until the time came for her and Mamoru to establish their kingdom.
Sestuna felt sorry for disturbing her princess' sleep and making her worry.
"There is nothing wrong your highness. I need to talk to you and the other senshi"
Usagi smiled in relief. "Of course Puu, but please stop calling me that, it makes me feel
old and full of responsibility" she said laughing slightly.
"I'll contact the others and we'll meet at the shrine" stated Usagi.
Setsuna smiled as she thought of the transformation her queen had made. SHe was no longer the
silly little girl, she was maturing and when the time came she would make a wonderful queen.
-------
"So Sets, why are we all here?" asked Makoto. She was sitting leisurely on the steps. It was
a lazy Saturday for them all and it was nice just meeting up to talk.
"You have to come to England with me" said Setsuna.
All of them jumped up,
"Go to England!", "YOu must be joking", "Why?", "I'd like to see England again." They all said
together.
Setsuna stood there being bombarded with questions not quite knowing what to do with all of the
questions she was being asked.
"Quieeeet!" yelled Rei above all of the noise.
"I am sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why we must all go to England,
but we won't hear it if we're all talking."
They all shut up and sat down again with some disgruntled murmurs of 'It was a shock' and
'Sorry'.
Rei glared at the all and they all snapped their mouths shut. Then she turn and looked hardly
at Setsuna,
"So are you going to explain to us what this is all about?"
"Well I was going to before you all interrupted" she said looking at them all. Minako and Ami
bowed their heads, but Makoto looked at her defiantly.
"There is a group of people in this would that are witches and wizards and.." she started
"Setsuna if you came all this way to play a practical joke on us, it's not working." scoffed
Makoto.
"I am not making this up." replied Setsuna.
"But Setsuna, I don't understand, I think we would have known before." stated Usagi
"I am sorry your highness to have kept this from you, but now is the time that you are meant
to know. You have never seen them as they keep themselves hidden from normal people." replied
Setsuna.
"But you need to know now for various reasons, the main one is that now is the time for you to
know, but also that you need to know about them, so that you know how to handle them when you
come into power my highness" continued Setsuna and Usagi bowed her head, not knowing what to say.
"THe other reason and main reason, is that they have finally detected your power, but they
see it as magic and they see you as a threat. I am currently working in a school within this
community and they have sent me here to find out who these people are, and they are you".
They all looked puzzled and unsure of what to say or do, but Ami was the first one to break
their thoughts.
"But now that they now about us what do they want to do with us and why didn't they detect
us before?"
Setsuna smiled, yes, she was definately the smart one of the group.
"All of the enemies you have faced managed to put a barrier around so that their magical energies
could not be detected, but now that there are no enemies there is no barrier, so they have
been detected," she paused "and as to what they 'want to do with you' I am not sure but I am
going to suggest that you attend the magic school in England where I am teaching. As I have said
before it will be good for all of you to acquaint yourselves with this side of the world and
befriend the people. They will not do you any harm, as they will see you as new students"
she stopped to let all of the information sink in.
"So, basically you want us to leave here and go to learn magic in another school, but what are we
going to tell everyone here. 'Hey everyone, by the way I'm magic and i'm going to tell
how to use it in England'." said Makoto.
""Hey! Don't worry about it. I'm sure that Sets has got that already planned, haven't you?" said
Minako, as cheerful as ever.
"And besides, it will be fun, We'll meet new people be together and not worry about evil."
Usagi spoke quietly, "You're forgetting something. What about Mamoru. I haven't heard from him
in ages. He only knows how to contact me here. How will he know where I am?" her face was sad
as she thought about how her Mamo chan had basically ignored her.
As the tears started to fall down her face Rei put her arm around her friend's shoulder,
"Don't worry, I'm sure there's a reason for it. He can't have forgotten you, he loves you" but
inside she was seething. Future King or not, he was going to have to explain his actions to Mars
before he could go anywhere near her friend.
"YOu highness" said Pluto "You must go, I will sort it out with Mamoru. DOn't worry, he will
be in touch with you soon" Pluto felt remorse for having concealed her future King's whereabouts
but it was essential that it was done this way, as they would have to learn.
"Ok then Puu. We'll go to England"
****************************************************************************
After two weeks of preparation the girls were going to England. Everyone had believed
the story about being accepted into an elite boarding school in England and no one asked
questions.
Pluto had also made preparations, in the form of various letters to Dumbledore explaining
that she had found five sixteen year old girls who were unaware of their magic, but who seemed
very nice and keen on learning. Dumbledore had of course offered them a place at Hogwarts, as
it was very important that they learned to use their magic wisely, otherwise it might have been
used for purposes other than good.
So the five senshi all boarded a plane, heading towards London, unsure of what they
were going to do or how they were going to cope.
****************************************************************************
Usagi, Rei, Ami and Makoto collected their luggage from the baggage reclaim. They were
tired after the 20 hour flight which had been harrowing on all of their nerves.
Minako's quirkiness and the onflight movies which was something about love had managed
to keep them all awake. But now that they had finally arrived they just couldn't wait to get to
this school whatever it was called and go to sleep.
"Are we outside yet? I can't breathe." came a voice from Minako's bag.
"Sshh Artemis. You don't want to be put into quarantine do you." she looked
up and smiled at one of the security guards who was looking at her strangely.
That cat was going to be the death of her. He had kept on trying to poke his head out of the bag
all the way through the journey and had complained of being hungry the whole time.
There was no way that she was going to get in trouble now, just because he couldn't be a good
cat at the time she needed it most.
"Where's Setsuna? She said that she'd meet us here."
"You were saying Mako-chan."
They turned around quickly to see the guardian of time behind them.
"Setsuna, I really hate it when you do that." whinned Usagi.
Pluto ignored them and lead the girls (and two smuggled cats) to the train that was going
to take them to King's Cross. The girls all slumped in their seats and relaxed. Well that was
until Artemis and Luna were taken out of their bags.
"You just couldn't be quiet could you Artemis. Honestly, you're ruining this for the rest of us"
"Luna! I don't like to travel" whined Artemis
"Well you don't have to act like a kitten do you?"
Rei rolled her eyes "If you two don't quieten down right now, we'll put you back in the bags"
"It wasn't my fault, he was the one behaving so childish"
"But.."
Minako glared at him and he slumped down on her lap. Luna frowned at him, honestly you'd think
that after 1000 years he would have matured.
Kings Cross was full of people. Minako smiled happily. This was her home and she was
comfortable in it.
Setsuna started directing them through the crowds towars platform 10.
"SO which one are we going to take?" asked Ami.
"OUr train leaves from platform 9 and 3/4." Setsuna cooly replied.
"What!!!!!!!!" all girls yelled.
"It's right here. All you have to do is walk towards that barrier"
They looked at her as if she had finally gone mad.
Setsuna on seeing their faces walked towards the barrier confidently. 'I'll show them' she
thought, when 'bang!'. She'd walked straight into the barrier.
"Here Minako. You won the bet. She has gone mad." said Rei handing over some money.
Setsuna walked towards them, her cheeks were tinged red.
"It must be closed as the school doesn't normally receive visitors at
this time." she said explaining her actions. THe clock said 11.05 and the train had left five
minutes before.
They all looked at her incredulously but didn't say anything.
SHe heard Usagi whisper something like 'Well at least I never walked into a wall on purpose.'
followed by some snickering.
"Well, the only other way I can think of getting there is by senshi
teleport."
"Wait a minute. You're telling us that we can get there by teleporting
and we just spent 20 hours on a plane for absolutely no reason. WHy
didn't you just tell us this in Japan!" burst out Ami.
The rest of the scouts looked at her shocked. She must have been really tired, or worried
because she knew nothing of the subjects she would be studying.
"We couldn't before as the people in the school would have got suspicious.
Now we must teleport." said Setsuna.
Setsuna decided that the safest place to teleport and not be seen would be on one of the normal
trains. It was hard for the girls to drag all of their luggage in a train without raising too
many suspicions.
They entered an empty compartment and closed the blinds and teleported.
Usagi woke up with the distinct feeling that she was being watched.
"Luna, go away it's too early to get up. It's Saturday" Usagi exclaimed.
"I am sorry your highness but I must talk to you" said Setsuna.
