The girls lazed around Rei's room enjoying their last few
moments of peace before the lunar cats came to render
judgment upon their actions.
"Ya know…" spoke up Makoto as she glanced at the others.
"Luna has been rather cranky the last day or so. Do you
suppose moon cats can suffer from PMS?"
Minako grinned wickedly. "Poor Artemis. You know guys
always get the worst of it."
"Poor Mamoru, too. If he and Usagi are still fighting,
it's only going to get worse when that hits." Rei mentioned
absently while leafing through a manga. She abruptly
stopped and looked up at the girls. Dawning horror
appeared on all their faces. They all began speaking at
once.
"Do you know when…"
"Did you make sure..."
"I thought you had taken care of everything."
Ami groaned, closed her eyes and began hitting the back of
her head lightly against the wall she was leaning against.
"We are dead. She's going to kill us. I knew this was a
bad idea. How did I get talked into this? It's not like
we can call her and ask, not with Mamoru right there."
The other girls watched in fascination as Ami babbled
almost incoherently.
"I think she's lost it," Makoto whispered to Minako.
Minako just nodded, still staring at Ami.
Rei reached over and whacked Ami on the leg with her manga.
"Ami! Get a hold of yourself! Luna and Artemis are going
to be here in any minute. The last thing we need is any
sign that we are not in control of the situation."
Ami nodded and took a deep breath. She picked up the
textbook that she had been reading and tried to focus on
the pages.
"Minako? Have you spoken to Artemis at all?" Rei inquired.
The blonde girl frowned and shook her head slightly. "No.
I haven't seen him since yesterday afternoon after our
first meeting with him and Luna."
From behind the text book, Ami volunteered, "Luna went
looking for him this morning, I think. Or she went look
for something."
Makoto stood up and strode across the room. She wrenched
the book from Ami. Ami blinked in surprise and looked up
at the girl towering over her.
"What do you mean? Spill girl. We need to know everything
if we are going to be prepared for this meeting." Makoto
plopped next to Ami while holding the book hostage.
Ami sighed and recounted her conversation with Luna that
morning, making sure to leave out the part where she was
complaining about Minako being persuasive. "The last thing
she said before she left was, 'I need to go check something
out. Don't forget our meeting this afternoon at the
temple.' My guess is that she was going to look for
Artemis or go to Central Control."
The girls exchanged glances with one another. "What do you
suppose she meant by that?" inquired Rei.
Artemis hopped onto the windowsill before anyone answered.
"Hello, girls." He glanced around the room quickly before
jumping down and strolling over to the far side of the
room. He turned and faced the girls, observing them
quietly.
Minako opened her mouth to say something, when just then
Luna appeared though the same window. Shocked, surprised
and curious expressions adorned the girls' faces, but they
wisely refrained from comment. If possible, Luna looked
even more irritated and upset than last night.
"Artemis." Luna's voice was dangerously low. Her eyes
narrowed as she stared at her feline counterpart. "I'm
glad to see you were able to make in on time."
Artemis looked back at Luna not quite meeting her gaze.
"Of course I would. I was the one who suggested this
meeting. Now that you are here, we can discuss the issue
at hand."
Luna hopped off of the sill and stalked over to Artemis.
As she turned around to position herself facing the girls,
she hissed in his ear, "You can't avoid me forever, and I
will get to the bottom of this."
Luna sat and addressed the teenagers who were watching them
with looks of fascinated horror. She cleared her throat.
"I have been thinking. Ami had mentioned that she
calculated that the Dark Kingdom should not be attacking
anytime soon. There are other matters that need to be
discussed. We haven't spent much time planning strategy or
other things because of the frequent attacks. Maybe now
would be an appropriate time for that, since obviously I
have no say in the matter of Usagi," she concluded
bitterly.
"What kind of other matters, Luna?" asked Makoto.
Luna looked at the girls. "We haven't talked about
memories. I awoke all of you, with the exception of Venus,
of course. Since the time each of you awoke, we've spent
most of our time discussing the motives of the Dark Kingdom
and finding the moon princess. We have not talked about
what you remember, or if you remember anything at all. I
already know that none of you remember who the moon
princess is, but do you remember anything else?"
Luna watched the girl's expressions to gauge their
reactions. Ami, Makoto and Rei looked a little confused,
Minako appeared thoughtful and Artemis seemed to be
studying the girls also. Luna was a little disappointed
that there weren't more obvious reactions, but she was
willing to bet that Artemis and Minako knew more than they
were telling.
Artemis turned and faced Luna. "Do you think we should be
discussing this without Usagi? She is the leader after
all. Shouldn't she be a part of this as well? You live
and train her. Does she remember anything of the past?"
Minako could have kissed Artemis at the moment. While Luna
was answering the barrage of questions, Minako discreetly
motioned to Ami, glaring furiously at her and made a typing
motion with her hand.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Ami pulled out her Mercury computer and flipped it open.
"There is Dark Kingdom activity near the park. We need to
go."
The girls quickly left the room and ran to the park. The
cats followed them.
"Way to go, Ami! I'm glad you caught my signal. What are
we going to tell them when we get to the park?" Minako
spoke quietly to her as they ran.
Ami turned her head slightly and looked incredulously at
Minako. Just then they reached the park. She shoved
Minako out of the way as a stray tentacle shot from the
creature that appeared in front of them.
Minako looked sheepishly at Ami. "Henshin everyone!"
After flashes of blue, gold, red and green…the senshi were
present and ready to fight the evil before them.
"Talk about perfect timing!" Venus winked at Mercury just
before she fired her Crescent Beam attack.
Mercury resisted the urge to whap Venus upside the head.
'Later,' she thought to herself. She worked on her
computer, desperately trying to find a way they could
defeat this monster without the help of Sailor Moon.
'If they could…" she thought pessimistically as she watched
Mars' and Jupiter's attacks miss the creature.
