-Two Years Later in AnnaRose's Room-

            "Ezmerelda, what is bugging you?"

            "What do you mean, Anna?  Nothing is bugging me."

            "Well, obviously you are lying."  Anna replied, "Otherwise you would have told me we had something to talk about."

            "Oh, well as you know the Negaverse has been steadily pushing east…"

            "Get to the point."

            "I had a dream last night."  At this a frown crossed Anna's face.  She had learned a long time ago not to ignore dreams.  They tend to be more factual then most people give them credit. 

            "Tell me and don't leave anything out.  I'm sure you remember what happened last time."

            "Okay, okay.  Geez cut a cat some slack.  You mess up once and they never forget about it."  AnnaRose sighed in frustration.

 "Are you going to tell me or am I supposed to guess?"

            "I'm getting to it.  Humph.  When it started I was standing in the middle of Tokyo Park, when a rose bush caught my eye.  As I watched it I saw one bud bloom into a single black rose amount the flowering reds.  Then a man walked past.  He was wearing a black tuxedo and his face was covered by a mask.  I watched him walk over and make to pick that rose, which was as black as his hair.  Suddenly his hand drew back.  He had cut himself on the thorns.  Once he had picked the black rose he left with a handkerchief wrapped around his cut.  Then a second man approached.  He was much younger then the first.  About a year maybe two younger then you.  The only similarity between these two was their black hair; however the second wore his tied back in a pony tail.  He too approached that rose bush and plucked from its branches a red rose.  As he held the rose I saw it change.  It changed into a green gem perfectly round.  The insides of the gem seemed to swirl and…"

            "The Stone of Vines!"

            "Yes, it was and as I watched I saw him pocket the stone and leave."

            "Do you know what this means?  It means we know the location of one of the four stones!"  Anna spurted hurriedly.

            "Yes, Anna, I know that."

            "Once we gather all of them we can resurrect the Elemental Stone…"

            "Yes, Anna, I know that.  I also know that only one of strong spirit can unite them.  For anyone else it means certain death.  Now, if you'll allow me to finish…"

Anna closed her mouth abruptly and just nodded in reply.

            "Good.  Now where was I …Ah, yes, the second man had left.  That is when the wind picked up.  It was so furious it formed a cyclone and in the center of the cyclone was Sailor Earth.  The wind seemed almost to be coming from her.  I waited until the wind died down then ventured another look.  Sailor Earth was gone and standing where she had been was Azurite.  Only she wasn't wearing her uniform as a general of the Negaverse.  She looked in the direction them men had gone and said "One down three more to go."  And that is when I woke up.  … Why are you smiling?  Don't you understand?  The Negaverse is after the Elemental Stone also!"

            "Yes, Ezmerelda, I know that."

            "THEN WHY ARE YOU SMILING?!"

            Anna Rose just chuckled.  "Have you forgotten about the move?  Boy, will the Negaverse be surprised to see Sailor Earth in Japan."
