The air was much warmer then the day before. The wind had stopped pulling at the trees, so golden leaves fall at there own will. Terra smiled as she watched the world get ready for winter. For a second she thought she saw a snow flake. Terra loved the snow and was anticipating the coming winter. Her dark brown hair lay strait on her face and past her shoulders.  Vividly pieces of her hair matched the falling leaves of red gold and green. Terra breathed in the cool air before she proceeded into the large building. She quietly walked to her music class and took a seat. Kids started to pile in as they talked of video games and concerts. She longed to be talking with her classmates, but she was to shy and no one seemed to notice her anyway.

The teacher followed the herd of students with a large smile. His smiled showed the wrinkles of age near his eyes, but it didn't stop from covering his soft brown eyes. Mr. Menato was very tall and had a voice that filled the room. He loved every aspect of music, but instrumental music was his favorite. Mr. Menato preferred the flute over all the instruments, because he himself was a flutist and had once traveled the world performing with his flute. Mr. Menato ordered the students to get their instruments out and begin playing scales. Kids scrambled to get their instruments, as Terra opened her case that was on her lap. The long case held a delicate design model of a flute. It was dear to her; it was a gift from her father. She opened the case and lifted the golden flute from its velvet lining. The keys were silver and the body of the flute was engraved with symbols of the four seasons, sun, moon, and stars. Many flute players would look at the instrument with admiration and some with spite.

"I do have a surprise for you," boomed Mr. Menato's voice, as he pulled out a small, wooden pipe flute. The flute was bound with a vine. The vine was many little grape vines woven together to make a strong bind around the pipes. The pipes started larger and descended to a smaller one. There were only seven pipes, but Mr. Menato proceeded to tell his students that the instrument could play a wide range of notes, but it was very impossible to play. Many flute players looked in awe as their chances to be a star of a concert depended on the ability to play that pipe flute. Mr. Menato put the pipe flute into the first girl's hand. She examined it slowly before she put the delicate pipes to her mouth. Tried as she might there was no sound protruding from the wooden instrument. After many trials and errors it was Terra's turn. She examined the wooden pipes like many of the other girls, but she noticed a small symbol near the corner of the longest pipe. A half circle sat above a thick line as triangles protruded from the half circle. There was an ancient feel in the marking.

"Forgive me for the interruption, Mr. Menato, but what is this symbol on the pipe flute," Terra asked with a soft voice. Mr. Menato picked up the flute and looked at the symbol himself.

He then showed the class, "This is the symbol for Earth. When I was given this instrument it was said only the goddess of Earth could play it." Mr. Menato gave the pipe flute back to Terra. Terra gently put her lips on the pipes and sent a lovely melody from them. The kids stared in admiration of the beautiful sound. Images flowed through Terra's mind. Images of a castle covered in white stone and people in elegant clothing walking to its huge golden door. The doors opened with a vivid image of the queen of the palace.  Suddenly Terra stopped playing as she lost her breath. She started to breathe hard as he looked upon the many faces staring at her. Mr. Menato smiled with delight from hearing the tune.

"You must play at the concert, Terra. Our piece requires the pipe flute and it is wonderful you can play it!" Mr. Menato handed her the music and started to warm up the band. Terra was very excited to be playing a solo for the concert. She imagined her self on the stage with the pipe flute, and all the people there were cheering for her and wanting her to play an encore. The bell rang breaking Terra's concentration. She quietly put her flute away and walked up to Mr. Menato's podium. She presented the pipe flute with great care.

"Terra I want you to have it. I know I cannot play this glorious instrument, and tried to for many years. I want to hear its sound and you are the only one I know who can play it. So take it. I want you to have it," Mr. Menato handed her the pipe flute with a purple silk cloth around it. Terra graciously accepted the gift and thanked Mr. Menato. Terra wanted to almost cry from Mr. Menato's kindness. She walked out the door only to be confronted by four girls with angry looks on their faces.

"SO are you the teachers pet now?" said Tomie as she brushed a brown curl in her face. She wore her hair in a ponytail that was held together by a clip that looked like a small crown. Terra often felt the crown hair tie actually made Tomie think she was royalty. Tomie's green eyes glared at Terra. Terra just looked at the girls not really know what to say.

"She asked you a question," said Mia with a haughty glare with her dark brown eyes. Her long black bangs hung over her face almost reaching her nose. Her black hair was strait and sleeked past her shoulders to the middle of her back.

"I'm sorry." Terra whispered, as she looked down at her feet.

"Oh there you are Terra. I need to talk to you," said a soft voice coming from a tall woman with aqua green hair. Terra knew it was Michelle Kaioh, the famous violin player. Terra admired her very much because of her talent and her charisma. Everyone either liked her or envied her.

"We were talking here." said Kana as she tossed her blue hair over her shoulder. The other half of her hair slicked passed her right purple eye. Michelle stayed very calm as she put a hand on Terra's shoulder.

"I am really sorry to disturb your conversation, but it is very important. It is about the concert coming up." Michelle smiled sweetly as she started to push Terra away from the group of girls.

"We will talk to you later," called Anna. Terra just ignored them. She was very concerned about what Michelle had to say.

"Don't worry about those girls Terra. They are just envious of your talents, and now the staring soloist in the concert." Terra looked up at the tall woman before her. She didn't know what to say as she realized Michelle just saved her from harassment from the group of girls. Terra new that wouldn't be the end of them, but it was a good start to avoid them. Michelle walked away towards her destination, leaving her once again alone. Terra adventured towards home when someone stood in her way.

In font of Terra's eyes was a tall slender man. His eyes were an odd yellow color. His silver hair laid down his back.

"So you are the one who refuses to join Lord Ethos," the man's low voice growled.

"I don't know what you are talking about?" Terra stammered as she looked for a chance to escape. The man smiled showing perfect white teeth. He walked closer towards Terra as if he was floating, still she searched for a chance to flee but she knew there was no hope for her.

"Come with me girl and you will never be alone again," he whispered into her ear.

"No!" she shouted and she pushed him away.  The man flew slightly back but was quick to grab her arm. Terra swung with her leg kicking him in the face causing him to fall back. Terra started to run when something had pushed her to her knees. It was as if he body was weak and fragile. She could not move, as the earth's gravity clutched to her body.

"Maybe next time you will follow me Terra," the man sneered as he walked in front of her. He knelt down and grabbed her chin and brought her lips towards him. Tears started to release from her eyes.

"Stop," Terra managed to whisper as she stared into the man's eyes. His lips curled on his face as he brought out a green crystal.

"If you are not going come with me then there is no use for you," Terra's eyes widen with fear. She couldn't move or make a sound. It was as if something else was stopping her body.

"Neptune Deep Submerge!"

"Uranus World Shaking!" shouted to voices from behind. An energy ball flew past Terra towards the man. Unfortunately the man was able to move out of the way before he was hit.

"I am the protector of the innocent I am Sailor Uranus!"

"I am the protector of the good at heart I am Sailor Neptune!"

The two sailor soldiers posed as the man let out an evil laugh. "The outer senshi I was hoping for Sailor Moon." The man laughed as he sent a large green energy ball at the Sailor soldiers, hitting them and knocking them to the ground. "I won't destroy you two now but your time will come. Till next time my lovely Terra." The man evaporated into the air and was gone. Terra fell to the ground she was to weak to move. She fought to keep her eyes open, but it was too hard for.
