Meet the Past
It had been a week since Bunny had made up with Darien. Things had gone back to normal. Except for Serenity's crescent moon. It hadn't stopped glowing since Malachite had grabbed her. The day before Bunny had asked Endymion why it was doing this. "She's homesick." He replied, "Malachite grabbing her was the last straw. In the Silver Millennium, Serenity's not used to things like that."
At that moment Serenity and Bunny were just getting dressed. They had agreed to wear the same thing, blue jean caprices and a white tank top belly shirt. The doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Sammy yelled, running out of his room. A few moments later the door opened. "Serenity, Bunny, your boyfriends are here!" Sammy yelled. Quickly Bunny ran into Serenity's room. "Let's give Endymion and Darien a test." She said, "We're wearing the same thing and we look exactly alike. Let's see if they can tell us apart." "Sure." Serenity said smiling. "Act like me because it's too hard for me to act like you." Bunny said pulling Serenity out of the room.
Bunny mounted one side of the banister down the stairs. Serenity took the other side. In a bit of wind they were off, down the banister. When Serenity reached the end of the banister she flew off, right out the open door into a bush in the front yard. Bunny's ending was a little more graceful. She got off, stumbled a bit and then went face first into the wall.
Sammy snorted. "Darien, I don't know why you're dating a girl that literally flies out doors. Endy, I assure you that Serenity usually is a whole more lot graceful than that. I've never seen her be as clumsy before" "Bunny didn't fly out the door." Endymion said looking out into the yard. That was Serenity." "How can you tell?" Sammy asked. "Look how they're reacting to their landings." Darien said, "You can tell that Bunny hit the wall because she's crying. You can tell that Serenity flew out the door because she is acting like it isn't a big deal." Sammy looked at the girl whimpering into Darien's coat. Then he stuck his head out the door and watched Endymion help Serenity out of the bush. She was brushing her pants off, but not crying. "OK." Sammy said, "I see your point.
As soon as Bunny calmed down, Endymion and Darien explained why they were there. "We thought that you might like to go to the park. The others will be there too." Darien said. "Sounds good to me." Serenity said putting her ice pack on another scrape the bush had given her. "Me too!" Bunny exclaimed, "Darien can we get ice cream?" He chuckled. "I suppose so." He replied.
When the four got to the park the other scouts were already there. "What took you so long?" Ray demanded, scowling at Bunny. "I ran into a wall and Serenity literally flew out a door." She replied, "Serenity landed in a bush!" "Oh dear, Serenity, are you all right?" Ray asked. "Pretty much." She said, "I got a few scrapes and bruises but that's all."
"So what are we going to play first?" Lita asked, cracking her knuckles. "How about we play Lost Item." Amy suggested. "Never heard of it." Mina said, "How do you play?" "Well," Amy started, "Someone hides an item in a large area. For us it would be the park. Then the players split up into groups and try to find it. The person who hides the thing doesn't get to play, but he or she gets to choose partners.
"Sounds good to me." Bunny said happily, "What are we going to hide?" "How about Bunny's sneaker?" Ray suggested, snickering. "Perfect idea." Amy said, "Hand it over, Bunny." Muttering about people teaming up on her, Bunny took of her left shoe and gave it to Amy. "Now everyone close their eyes until I get back." She instructed. The group did as they were told.
A few minutes later Amy came back. "Now for partners!" she said happily, "Mina can go with Lita, Ray can go with Chad. Serenity can go with Endymion. And Bunny can go with Darien. OK. Start the game! Just, Bunny, don't step on anything poisonous!" "Uh, I'll try not to." Bunny said nervously. The teams started off. Mina and Lita went south. Ray and Chad went west. Bunny and Darien went north. And Serenity and Endymion went east.
Around a half an hour later no one had found Bunny's shoe yet. Serenity and Endymion set walked out of the forest they had been walking through for the last fifteen minutes and into a small field. "This is nice." Serenity commented, "Let's rest a little bit here before we continue our search." "Sounds fair to me." Endymion replied. They looked at the beautiful landscape in front of them.
Suddenly the pair heard two pairs of footsteps in back of them. They were so wrapped up in the beauty that they didn't really acknowledge it. "I found them! I found them!" the first voice said happily. "Slow down little one!" the second exclaimed, "I can't run that fast in this dratted dress!" Some grabbed Endymion by the waist in a happy embrace. "Endymion!" she exclaimed. He looked behind him to see who had hugged him.
"Odette?!" he asked surprised, "How'd you get here?" "I think the real question would be how did you two get here?" the second voice asked. Serenity turned around and gasped. "Mother!" she said happily. "Yes, hello Serenity." Queen Serenity said, "But would some one please answer my question? How did you get here?" "Long story." Endymion said picking up Odette. "You know you're getting too big for me to do this." He commented. "I don't care." Odette retorted, "I like it."
"Let's find the others." Serenity said turning around and heading for the path that would lead them to back to where Amy was waiting. That's when the exact group Serenity and the others walked through the brush into the field, led by Bunny. "I told you I would find them!" she said triumphantly. Serenity noted that Bunny now had both shoes on. "Uh, Bunny? There's a trail RIGHT NEXT TO US!" Ray screamed. "Sorry." Bunny said pulling a few twigs out of her buns.
"Chad had to leave early and Lita and Mina fou-" Amy stopped her word because she had spotted Queen Serenity and Odette. "Who are they?" she asked. "This is my mother, Queen Serenity." Serenity said, "And this is Endymion's sister Odette. "We know Odette." Darien said, "But how did she and Queen Serenity get here?" "Pluto brought us here, but note, she was not happy doing it." Queen Serenity said. "I would think not." Princess Serenity said.
"Now how did you get here?" Queen Serenity asked. "We got splashed by the Falls of Magic." Endymion explained. "I thought mama told you to be careful around there." Odette said. "Well did I turn a funny color again?" he asked annoyed, "And it's nice and peaceful there. Beryl isn't there running around proclaiming about that make believe goddess, Metalia." Bunny, Darien and the others stiffened. "Be careful." Ray warned, "Metalia is real and she can do a whole lot of damage." "Thanks for the heads up." Endymion said.
"Now we must have some introductions!" Queen Serenity said, "I can see you're the future Sailor Scouts but what are your names?" "I'm Amy Mizuno." Amy said starting the introductions.
After the introductions Bunny started a conversation with her past mother while the others greeted Odette. "Are you sure you know me?" Odette asked. "Well you wouldn't know us because you visit in the future." Amy said. "Do you have a cat named Samara?" Ray asked. "Yes." Odette replied, "She's my advisor and governess." "She's all you have in the future." Lita said. "Why?" Odette asked. "Well, we can't tell you that." Bunny said. "Why not?" Mina asked. "Do we want to spoil the fun of finding out her own future? And who knows maybe we could change it if we tell her." "That wouldn't be bad." Lita said. "Actually it would." Amy said, "Odette would be living with her parents, not save Darien and who knows what awful things could come?"
Queen Serenity walked into the group talking to Odette. "We have to go dears." She said. Princess Serenity, Endymion and Odette got up from the group and walked to Queen Serenity. "It was nice meeting you." She said. The queen raised a hand and in it was a key. In a flash of light they were gone.
"That was the same way Odette left." Ray noted. "OK." Mina said, "This is sort of off topic, but does anyone know if we defeated the NegaVerse?" "We did." Amy said, "From my calculations, without her generals, she's powerless." "But what about Metalia?" Bunny asked. "You mean this cloud of idiocy?" Amy asked pulling a bottle out of her backpack. Everyone stared in amazement. "During the fight that we were chasing Malachite around Metalia started forming." Amy started, "Luckily we were in the back yard of a restaurant and there were a few wine bottles around. She was stupid enough to fly right into it and I put the cork back in. Later I had Serenity seal the bottle with some of Odette's magic. Did it ever occur to you that Serenity didn't stop herself from flying out the door or at least not getting hurt, with magic? This is because she drained her store sealing the bottle."
Amy flung Metalia into the middle of the field. "Amy why'd you do that?!" Bunny screamed, "You probably broke the bottle!" "Did I mention that, that bottle is unbreakable thanks to Serenity?" Amy asked, "And no one can ever get the top off either. She did a rather complete job if I may say so myself. Well let's get back to the main area of the park." The scouts walked down the path, but Darien and Bunny stayed, looking where the bottle had disappeared into the high grass.
"Well the NegaVerse is gone." Bunny said looking at Darien. "I'm glad of that." He replied. Suddenly Bunny was swept into a kiss. They were so wrapped up in it that they didn't notice when the sky flashed. But Darien did notice when something circular and black hit his head. "What was that?" he exclaimed cutting off the kiss. That's when the kid fell on Bunny's head.
Ha! Ha! Guess who the kid is? Yup. I went strait into R. :) I hope you liked the story. I know the end wasn't the best but still... R&R everyone!
