The Meeting
***********************************************************************
Just outside Endymion was considering not getting a slave but remembered his father's warning and stern look so he stepped inside the building. he stepped up to the counter. "I'd like to buy a slavebut reluctantly." he said. "Oh. Hello Prince Endymion. What planet would you like your slave from?" asked the clerk at the counter. "Mother and Father would like for me to get one from Earth. How many are there to choose from?" he asked. Please let there be a lot of boys. I'd feel better with a boy. "Not much I'm afraid. Mostly girls. They're easier to take than boys are. All the boys that were taken got sold right away." "Oh so that means there are only girls left?" "That is right. Do you want anything in particular?" asked the clerk "Not really. What are the ages of the girls?" "Um. Most are in their teens. Would you like a teenager?" "Do I have much of a choice?" "Not really." This is starting to sound a lot like home. "I'll get you a picture of a teenage girl right away to make sure you want her. I will be right back." The clerk left and in came Jedite.
"Oh hey Endy. Getting your slave?" "Yeah he's getting a picture of her now." "HER?" said Jedite with a glint in his eyes. "I know that look. It's not what you think all they have are teenage girls." said Endy holding up his hands. "Sure Endy." Just then the clerk came back with a picture of Serena. "Is she good enough for you?" She's beautiful "Oh yes she will do." replied Endy. "Your drooling Endy" said Jedite laughing. "May I help you Prince Jedite?" "Oh yes. I would like a slave from Earth with...a temper."That way maybe she'll run away or something and I won't have to have a slave. "Temper?" "Yes that's right temper." "Ok I'll be right back with both your slaves." and the clerk left the room.
He notified Fiore to get slaves who fit the order. Fiore just smiled. Now I can get rid of the hot-tempered one and the one with the big mouth and stomach. He walked to the cell that contained the 5 sailor scouts and opened the door. "You 2 with me." he said as he pointed to Serena and Raye. They looked at each other then got up. They turned around and looked at the 3 remaining scouts. "I'll find a way back to you." whispered Serena and then headed out the door with Raye and Fiore. They walked down a twisting corridor to right behind the counter where the clerk was waiting for them. He handed them over to their rightful owners.
Could my life get any worse? thought Serena. She looked up at her master for the first time. Blue met blue and her breath caught. Wow. Is he a hunk or what? I even think he looks better than Andrew and Andrew is Hot! Somebody up there likes me. thought Serena. He was so handsome with his jet black hair and midnight blue eyes. At that moment Nephlite, Kunzite, and Zoicite walked through the door.
"Oh hey guys." greeted Endy. "Hey Endy I see you got your slave already. She's kinda cute." Serena blushed. "We're here to get our slaves too." said Nephlite.
"I would like a slave with short hair because we will be working with flammable stuff and it can't get in her hair." said Zoicite.
"I would like a slave that's a good cook. I like my food." said Nephlite rubbing his tummy. "We know." said Endy.
"I would like a slave that's peppy." said Kunzite. "Right away princes." said the clerk and notified Fiore to look for girls that fit that description. Fiore headed towards the last of the scouts and found 2 of them playing rock, paper, scissors and the blonde won.
"I won. I won. It's my birthday. I rock." sung Mina dancing around the cell. Fiore stepped into the cell and looked around and saw Amy. Good I can get rid of 2 of them if this last one can cook I can get rid of the whole lot of them. Lita spotted him. "What do you want?" asked Lita angrily. "You! Are you a good cook?" asked Fiore. "Why would I tell you?" asked Lita. "Because maybe you'll live longer." threatened Fiore. "Fine yes I can cook. Very well if I do say so myself." said Lita with stars in her eyes. "Ok that was all I needed to know. All of you come with me." They walked down the long corridor to the front of the building.
Back in the front Raye and Serena were standing still until Endymion stepped forward and Raye rushed over and stood in front of Serena. Raye just scowled at Endymion than at the rest of the guys. "Woah, I'm not going to hurt her." said Endymion putting up his hands. "Why should I believe you?" asked an enraged Raye. Suddenly Raye felt a hand on her shoulder. "It's ok Raye. I don't think he'll hurt me." and with that Serena stepped from behind Raye and smiled at Endymion. "Don't mind her. She has a real bad temper.' said Serena. "It's ok." replied Endymion.
Everyone turned at the sound of the clerk clearing his throat. "Ok gentlemen I have your slaves." said the clerk very proud of himself. Serena and Raye turned around to show sympathy for the poor people, but they saw Amy. Mina, and Lita instead. Serena smiled and ran over to them with Raye right behind her.
"I was so worried I'd never see you guys again." cried Serena. "It's ok Sere. We're here now." said Lita. "Can we escape now?" asked Raye. "I don't think so. I think we need to learn as much about this planet and it's inhabitants as possible. I doubt we'd make it off this planet alive if we did try to escape." whispered Amy. "What about Sailor Teleport?" asked Serena. "Good idea but I have to have the proper coordinates of this planet, which I don't and if we aren't close to Earth I'd doubt we'd make it." sighed Amy. "Darn." said Lita
While across the room the guys were having their own conversation. "I guess they know each other." said Endymion, "Yeah looks that way." said Kunzite. "Did you see the black-haired girl protected the blonde?" asked Endymion. "Yeah. Do you think she's important back on Earth?" asked Nephlite. "Don't know, but she looks important to me." said Endy. "I wonder which one is mine." said Kunzite, looking at the girls. "I think I know which one is mine" said Zoicite, pointing to Amy. "You did say short hair" said Jedite.
Over to the girls. "I wonder which one's mine." said Mina. They're all hunks. I want them all. thought Mina. "You mean which one you belong to right?" said Lita, elbowing Mina in the stomach. "Oh.. yeah. Right" said Mina, blushing. "That one looks like my old boyfriend." said Lita. pointing to Nephlite with stars in her eyes. "He was such a hunk but this guys is way hunkier than my old boyfriend because he dumped me. Now what was his name? Oh it was Freddy! Yes that's right Freddy. Come to think of it Freddy was a real jerk." said Lita, frowning. "Will she ever stop?" asked Serena. "Uh.. nope. I don't think so." said Raye. They looked at Lita who was still talking about Freddy and gazing over at the group of boys. They all sweatdropped. "There is no hope for her." said Amy. "Nope" the others agreed.
The boys were getting restless. "Why don't we go over and introduce ourselves?" suggested Jedite. "I guess but I don't want them to know we're princes." said Endy "Fine by me." said Kunzite. "Whatever" shrugged Nephlite. "Well then lets go over." said Jedite. They started walking over.
"Oh my.. Guys they're coming over here!" said Lita, turning around. "They are?" asked Mina looking over Lita's shoulder. "Don't look!" said Lita, pushing Mina back. "Hey you didn't have to push me." said Mina. "Sorry" said Lita.
The guys finally got over to the girls. "Hi" said all the guys. "Hi!" said Lita and Mina, eagerly. Amy, Raye, and Serena hung back and watched their friends. "Well I'm Jed... Jed" said Jedite looking at his friends then over all the girls. His eyes landed on Serena and stayed there for a while then he moved his eyes to Raye. His eyes lingered there too. He looked between the two. Man they're both cute. Earth girls are way better than the girls here thought Jedite. "I'm..." but before Nephlite could say anything Kunzite cut in. "He's Nate." he said with a sly smile. Nephlite scowled at Kunzite. Kunzite started to pick his own name when he heard Nephlite say "He's Kevin." Kunzite looked at Neph who was smiling at him. "I'm .." started Zoicite but Endy cut in. "That's Zach" he said. Zoicite really didn't care. He actually liked the name. He smiled and crossed his arms. Endy has good taste thought Zoicite. "And this is .. Darien." said Jedite after he got himself under control from seeing Kunz and Neph stare each other down. I'm glad I got to pick my own name. thought Jedite. Endy just shrugged. He didn't care about his name. It's just a name. Just then Endy heard a voice. ~ No a name is not just a name. It's the key to the whole person. It's almost as important as the soul inside that person. The eyes are the windows to the soul yes.. but the name of that person is the key to open the door to that soul.~ Hey where did that come from? It's like a memory... from so long ago. thought Endy.
"Well I'm Mina" said Mina. Lita knocked Mina out of the way. "And I'm Lita. Nice to meet you." said Lita eagerly. The other three just sweatdropped. "Guys come introduce yourselves!" chorused Lita and Mina. Raye gave a sigh and stepped forward. "I'm Raye." she said. "My name is Amy" said Amy, blushing. Everybody turned to Serena. "Come on girl what's the hold up?" asked Lita. Serena didn't answer. Everybody wait for her to say something. Finally she said "Serena" she folded her arms, unconcerned. Serena that's a beautiful name thought Darien. He looked at her with interest. Serena caught him staring and scowled at him. Is he staring at me? The Nerve of him to stare at me like that! thought Serena. Oops got caught staring thought Darien. Darien just blushed.
Jed was still looking at Raye and Serena. I just don't know who's cuter. Decisions. Decisions he thought, shaking his head. He smiled at Raye and she looked back at him. After a while she turned her head in a blush. Jed smiled, then turned to Serena, who had her nose in the air. Pointedly not looking Darien's way. Instead she was looking straight at Jed. Jed smiled at her. Let see how she reacts. Serena looked hard at him for a moment then smiled her heart-stopping smile at him. Jed wanted to melt right then and there. She walked up to him and held out her hand. "I'm Serena Tsukino, but you probably knew that and your Jed right?" she asked him. "That's right" To bad she can't be my slave instead of Endy's. Lucky dog.
Lita and Mina were chatting happily with Kevin and Nate, who kept nodding their heads and smiling. "Just keep nodding and smiling." whispered Nate to Kevin, who just nodded and smiled.
Man. I should be heading home. I should use my mansion if I don't want Serena to know I'm a prince. thought Darien. He told all the guys to take the girls to their private mansions instead of the family castle. He walked over to Serena, who was talking with Jed. She turned to him and glared. Darien almost lost his nerve. ALMOST. He cleared his throat. "It's time I get going." he said. "Well go. I'm not stopping ya." said Serena. "No. That's not what I meant. You have to go with me." he said, getting nervous. He glanced over to Raye, who was coming to Serena's defense. "I don't want to go." "You have to" "Why?" "Because" "Why?" "Just because." "If she doesn't want to go with you don't make her!" yelled Raye, advancing toward Darien, but Lita grabbed her. "Sorry sir. She has a bad temper." apologized Amy. "So I've been told" muttered Darien. "It's ok Sere we'll get you back." said Lita. "Yeah girl. No sweat." Mina said. Serena smiled and hugged each of her friends in turn then turned to Darien and her face hardened.
"Yeah see you Dare. I better go too." said Jed, still looking at Serena as she and Dare left out the door. "Yeah better head out" said Kev, going over to the girls. "Which one of you is peppy?" he asked. They looked at each other then Mina stepped forward.
Serena followed Darien out of the door with her arms folded. Darien slowed down a bit so he was walking beside her. He looked over at her and smiled but Serena just glared at him and turned her head the other way.
Back with the rest of the girls, Jed was walking towards Raye. "Raye.. it's time we'd better be going." he said nervously. Raye turned from Lita, Amy and Mina to Jed and frowned at him.
Jed was about to takes a step back when Raye said bye to her friends, stuck up her nose in the air and walked swiftly out the door.
"Hey wait up!" and Jed ran after her saying bye to his friends. "Raye it's this way." and grabbed her to steer her to the left of a fork in the road. When his hand made contact with her arm they both felt a jolt.
Both their eyes widened and they looked at each other. They both felt a tingling sensation between them. Jed let go of her and looked uncomfortable. "It's this way." and started walking down the left path to his personal mansion.
Raye walked after him slowly. What the heck was that?
Kevin motioned for Mina to come with him.I really should be going. Mina turned to her friends and tried to smile, but just couldn't. She turned back towards her new master and walk out behind him.
Amy and Lita looked after her and sighed. "I hope she'll be alright." Lita said. "I think she'll be fine Lita. I'll make sure we get out of here soon. Don't worry." said Amy. They had their backs to the boys and when Zach walked up and cleared his throat it startled them.
They both turned around. Zach motioned for Amy to go with him. Amy sighed and walked slowly after him. She started to turn towards Lita when she was at the door but thought better of it.
Now only Nate and Lita where left. Nate walked up to her. "So... I guess your a good cook." he stated.
Lita looked up. Even though Lita was real tall she had to look up to face Nate. "I think I'm a very good cook if I do say so myself." she smiles.
Nate looks around. "Well its getting late. We better get going."
"Okay." said Lita. She walked out the door. Nate smirked and also walked out the door. Lita stopped suddenly and blushed. "Umm..where do you live?"
Nate smiles and pointed the way to his mansion, in the opposite direction of his family castle. Lita smiled and follows the path to his mansion.
"So Lita..care to tell me about yourself?" he asked, turning to look at her. Lita stopped in the middle of the path and looked at Nate. She twirled a piece of her hair around her finger.
"Well..I love to cook, as you know. I like to do martial arts. And when I get older I want to open a flower shop or a restaurant. That's if..I get back home." she looked away and started walking again.
Nate started at her. Wow.. I feel so sorry for her. I wish I knew what to do to help. I'll think of some way to help her. Now I need to distract her. "So you like martial arts? I always wanted to learn. Think you can teach me?" he looked at her.
Lita turned back to him, her eyes wide. "You want me to teach you martial arts?" Nate smiled. "Sure. Why not? It'll be fun." Lita smiled. "Ok. I'll teach you."
They walked the rest of the way the his mansion in silence, the total opposite direction of where Darien and Serena were walking.
