Chapter 1 - When The Rain Falls

[Disclaimer: I don't own any of the stuff so stop trying to make be plea guilty o_o By Ra, If I owned this stuff, I would write episodes! .;]

The skies had opened up and soaked every exposed structure with rain. It was late one evening and the street lights illuminated the walkways and streets in a sickly pale yellow light. The streets were bare, with the occasional car driving home from work. The only other sound that was heard was the soaked footsteps of a lone figure. A single young woman walked up the street with nothing but her soaking clothes on and she was barefoot. Her sea green eyes looked full of sorrow and it seemed that any glow of hope had faded from the young woman. Her long black hair, soaked from the downpour, stuck to her face, neck and back as she continued walking down the abandoned area. There was a single gash that ran over her right eye, which had scarred over time but still left its deep marking.

Many thoughts ran through her mind like a blur and the thought of three individuals came back. Those three people never seemed to give up on her. They tried to get her to talk, make eye contact or even get her to focus on her true mission. The trio seemed to have given up on her. Two of them did, as it seemed. The girl snapped away from her thoughts when she heard the blaring of a car horn and the screeching of breaks. The car did not seem that it was going to stop in time so she crouched a bit and jumped straight into the air, almost effortlessly, letting the car skid under her. She fell back towards the street and landed on all fours, with her head bowed. A shaken up and surprised man looked out of his car window as the girl slowly stood up, not bothering to look back.

"Hey!" yelled the man. "What the hell do you think you were doing?! Are you okay, lady?!"

The girl ignored his yelling and continued on her way, slowly disappearing into the distance and the constant sheets of rain that poured down.

Elsewhere, at Serena's home, the blonde girl with more or less meatball- like pig tails called up the stairs.

"Reene! It's time for dinner!" she sung out in her normal happy way.

"Hang on, Serena!" whined Reene as she pulled on her slippers. "Don't be so bossy!"

"Reene, you come down here right now or you aren't getting any food!" fumed Serena as she marched back into the kitchen.

Reene puffed out her cheeks then sighed and looked out the window from her room. She blinked, thinking she was imaging what she saw. She pressed her face against the glass of the window and looked harder.

"Serena!" yelled Reene as she ran down the stairs noisily. "Someone is outside in the rain!"

Serena leaned out of the kitchen, looking irritated. "Now who in their right mind is outside in the rain at this time of night? Are you sure that you aren't seeing things, Reene? - Reene!"

The front door was open and the pink haired girl ran towards the front gate of their house, towards the older girl who was soaked from the rain and walking silently along the street. She opened her umbrella to shield herself from the rain and stopped beside the older girl, looking up at her.

"Uhm.........lady?" she asked, trying to get her attention. "Do you want to come inside because you are soaking wet and you have no shoes on your feet!"

The girl stopped and looked down at Reene with her sad eyes. Her face remained full of unhappiness and she said nothing.

"Please, miss." Pleaded Reene. "You'll catch a cold or something if you keep this up. Come inside, you can have dinner with us!"

Reene grasped the older girl's hand, ignoring how cold it felt, and started leading her back towards the house.

"Serena!" she called back. "Go get some towels! She is soaking wet and freezing!"

Serena hesitated for a second then jogged towards the hallway closet to get fresh dry towels. Meanwhile, Reene had led the soaking wet girl inside to the living room.

"What's your name?" asked Reene as she put away her little pink umbrella.

There was no reply at all. Not even eye contact when Reene spoke to her. Serena came back with the towels and gave them to Reene, then rushed back into the kitchen when the phone started to ring.

"Serena! Where are you?!" yelled Rei into the phone. "The dream snatchers have come back!" (A.N: I think that is what they are called.)

"What?! Not now!" whined Serena as she gripped the phone tightly. "Hang on, Rei. We'll be right over there!"

She slammed the phone down and walked back to the living room, trying to look more or less calm. When she entered the room, she noticed that it was empty and the towels were in a neat pile on the floor. Serena became curious and walks back towards the front door, seeing Reene standing at the open doorway, looking out.

"Reene? What's wrong? Where did that girl go?" asked Serena as she looked down at her.

"She looked so sad...she just left without a word. She reminds me of Hotaru..." whispered Reene as she looked out into the rain sadly.

"Oh, Reene..." said Serena. "I know you miss Hotaru very much. We all do. But she is okay now. Right now, we have to stop those dream snatchers."

"Alright, what are we waiting for?" said Reene as she perked up.

Elsewhere, in the city park, Tiger Eye was searching through a young woman's dreams and came up with nothing.

"Ugh. Still nothing! At this rate, we'll never find the one who has Pegasus!" he muttered.

He heard a crack of a branch and turned around cautiously, tightening his grip on the leather whip that he had in his hands. The rain had eventually stopped and the moonlight peeking through the clouds, illuminated the puddles of rain water that were scattered about. The black-haired girl carefully and silently looked out from behind a tree, keeping herself hidden amongst the shadows.

"If it is those annoying sailor girls again, I'll make sure that they wished that they weren't born-.........hang on........what's that?" said Tiger Eye as he looked hard towards her direction. "Who's there?"

The girl pulled back behind the tree and leaned on it with her back, lowering her gaze back to the cool grass. She closed her eyes and listened to the branches and leaves move in the gentle breeze that blew by. She almost shut everything out around her when she heard a few footsteps in front of her. She opened her eyes and raised her gaze, only to meet Tiger Eye almost face to face. A mixture of fear and surprise flashed across his face as he noticed who the girl was. After so long, the girl appeared once again from a long absence of silence that was still not broken.

"It can't be!.........Wolf Eye?" he said in utter shock as he studied her face more. "It has to be you! That scar! Why have you been running away and hiding, Wolf Eye?"

Wolf Eye hesitated, not knowing whether to run away from him or actually try to speak with Tiger Eye. It had been so long that they've seen each other or the rest of the Amazon Trio, she didn't know what to do. She couldn't go back, could she? After living with herself for so long, not being able to focus on her true mission. Would she still be accepted who she really was?

".........Wolf Eye, are you alright?" asked Tiger Eye. "Are you even there? Hey! Don't you dare zone out on me!"

She snapped out of the little trance that she was in and looked back at Tiger Eye, having a feeling of grief pulling against her. She turned around and started walking away, not even saying a word.

"Hold it right there!" said a hidden voice.

Then Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars and Sailor Mini Moon jumped out of a tree, in complete uniform. "We will not allow you to ruin people's dreams-"

"Put a sock in it! I've had enough of this for one week!" said Tiger Eye, then he back flipped into a portal and disappeared.

".........Well, that was unexpected!" said Mini Moon.

"How rude!" said Sailor Moon angrily. "He didn't even let me finish my speech!"

Sailor Mars sighed and rolled her eyes. "You know, you do talk too much sometimes.........but Mini Moon is right. It was odd that he left in a hurry."

"Maybe he is planning something," said Mini Moon as she folded her arms behind her head boredly.

Back at the bar where the Amazon Trio usually hung out, Fish Eye and Hawk Eye were looking through some pictures.

"Oh, he looks cute!" said Fish Eye in a high voice. "Maybe I can ask him out on a date or something!"

Hawk Eye sweat dropped. "Why would they want to go out with a fish........."

Tiger Eye walked in and sat down between them before Fish Eye strangled Hawk Eye.

"What's gotten you so quiet all of the sudden, Tiger Eye?" asked Hawk Eye as he threw another picture to the side. "Still didn't find Pegasus as usual?"

Tiger Eye folded his arms on the counter and looked at it hard. "No, but I found something.........almost as important."

Fish Eye leaned in curiously. "Like what? What could be more important than finding Pegasus?"

"............I saw this other girl.........it took me a while to find out who it was........." said Tiger Eye to the others.

The other two looked at him curiously. "Who was it?"

".........It was Wolf Eye......after so long, it is her........" concluded Tiger Eye.

They all remained silent at Tiger Eye's last statement. Not another word was said.
