Disclaimer: I just... sigh I just wanted to show how much I love Sailor Moon!

Judge: By kidnapping them all? With the exception of one Chiba Mamoru, the others are minors... let's not forget pet napping as well.

Summary: Okay, this is the really long chapter that I broke up into little chapters. This is a continuation of Mirror Image. It's short, most of them are, but not too exciting. It's all just leading up to a big moment, so if you all will just go along with me, that'd be great. Last we read, Prince Endymion had been put under the influence of the devious dark cloud, and is making his way somewhere... but where? In this chapter, we find our darling little Commander of Love, thinking of times long past, and possible people long gone?

Welp, no news to report... Yeah, I don't know what's going on with my friends, so I'm just sitting around and waiting.

And waiting...

And waiting...

Ya know? This could really send me up a fricken wall!

Mirror Image: Lonely Beauty

Mina sighed as she walked into her chambers. This was going to be difficult for everyone. Worry was finally beginning to settle upon the Senshi. Luna and Artimis had been unable to identify the cloud, and that was fine, they were just helpers after all, but Ami... she had been so distraught when she announced that she had no idea as well. That left Mina worried.

Ami always had the answer.

She detransformed, leaving her to stand in only her normal clothes: Jeans and a sunny yellow tee. She had done a little shopping on her last trip to Earth. Still, she had to change, yet again, as dinner was soon approaching. Mina went over to her closet and took out her favorite gown.

It was a cheery orange with a tight bodice that had gold embroidered hearts on the back and front. The skirt was long and loose, and she stopped for a moment, remembering how, at their last Ball, she had worn this very dress.

She and Serenity had worn matching gowns, only Serenity's had been white. Mina smiled, remembering that all they had done for one full dance was spin. They were amused at how the long skirts would flare.

Mina sighed as she pulled off the clothing after draping the gown over a chair. Standing in panties alone, she slipped the dress over her head, securing the choker around her neck, making a triangle in the front, a little cleavage showing.

Then, she went over to her vanity, all her assorted items scattered on the tabletop. She picked up her brush as she sat down before the mirror. She ran the brush through her golden hair, ridding it of tangles. She watched as her reflection mimic her movements, and she set the brush down. Everyone had always said that she and Serenity could be twins, and now, when she wasn't here, Mina saw how much they were right.

Playfully, she pulled her long hair up into her friends' signature odangos. She almost cried at the sight, it already felt like she was gone. Mina left her hair up like that, and had a crazy thought of going down to dinner like that. She was about to take them down and tie in her matching orange bow into her hair, but there was a knock at her door.

Okay, I know it sucked, but bare with me okay? Well, I do have some news, I don't know for how long, but I'll be going to work with my mom. So what?, you say? Well, my mom works for the local paper, she's a carrier/District Manager. DO YOU KNOW HOW EARLY YOU HAVE TO GET UP FOR THAT JOB?! I am not an early riser, but I'm gonna help anyways. As for my friend, she gave me a call last night, telling me her side of the story:

Her aunt thinks that she took the money, but while she was out, her neighbor came in, and my friend didn't see what she was doing. The neighbor told her that Omar (the b/f of our aunt) said that she could borrow some cash. I dunno if she took any money or not. My friend told Aunt Jen that and she refused to believe that her neighbor would steal from her. Although, she'll believe that her niece would... yeah, anyway. She grounded til the end of July, so no more fun til August. sighness. Oh, and a lotta shit with me an my guy, I'll tell you guys next chapter, if you wanna hear. I know no one likes hearing other peoples problems, but it's just a little venting for me. Don't forget to review!
