"Oh, look!" CJ
kneeled down. "It's a rose! Not many of these grow outside
the palace."
Sammy kneeled down, too. It wasn't as
beautiful as the roses the King owned, but they were pretty.
Just like her, he thought, standing back up.
CJ noticed the
distrought look on his face. "Are you alright?" she
asked and stood up, too. She reached for Sammy's hand. He looked
at her, surprised; they had never held hands before. She saw his
reaction and quickly let go.I can't tell him, she
thought.
He put his arm around her. "You seem
nervous."
She played with her dress. "Uh. . .no. .
.yes, I am."
Sammy smiled. "About what?"
"About
this." CJ closed her eyes, pulled him closer, and they kissed
for the first time. After awhile CJ quickly pulled away, her eyes
wide open and her heart racing at what she had just done.
He
pulled her close to his chest. "I love you, too," he
said.
Michelle woke up to hear someone sobbing. She
looked at her clock. 12:24am. She walked into the living room.
"CJ-san? Are you alright?"
CJ looked up and wiped her
eyes. "Not re-really-y. Did sniff I w-wake you-u?"
"No.
I had to get up to see if you were okay anyway." Michelle
smiled.
CJ giggled, then blew her nose. "I. . .I remember
when we found out why Sammy stayed 19; I was so worried that he
was having some kind of disease." She smiled. "Turns out
he is. . .was the King's brother from the Silver Millennium. Heard
of that?"
Michelle nodded.
"See, he was born as
the Queen's brother during this time period, and had no memories.
He never did; we never found out real name." She grabbed
another tissue.
"CJ? Are you okay?" Lita's voice was
coming from CJ's communicator.
"Yea. What's up?"
"Youma
alert. Crossroads Jr. High. See ya there."
CJ wiped her
nose. "I gotta wake the others," she told
Michelle.
"Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!"
"Venus
Love Chain Encircle!"
"OWWW!" The youma rubbed
her arm where the Chain had cut her. "Do you know how long
it's going to heal?"
"Not as long as this! Mars
Celestial Fire Surround!""
"Little Brats! Take
this!"
Sailor Mars pushed Sailor Moon out of the way. She
screamed in pain.
"Rei! Are you alright?" asked
Sailor Moon.
"groan Ya, I'm okay."
"You
sure?"
Mars looked her. "I'm fine," she
said.
"Mars Fire Storm Flash!"
The two looked up
to see Sailor ChibiMars standing between them and the youma who
was cluching his chest. "Hey! It worked!"
"Pink
Sugar Heart Attack!"
The youma turned red. "You
little Sailor Jerks!" She sent a big beam of energy at
them.
Sailor Moon and Mars pushed their child out of the way.
Since ChibiMars was standing closer to the youma, Mars got hit
with more energy.
"MAMA!"
FLASHBACK
CM
and Mars were kneeling in front of the fire in the temple. "Close
that eye," said Mars without even looking.
Wow, she is
good, thought CM.
"Yes, I am," her mother said
out loud.
How do you do that? thought CM.
Because
I am your mother, Sailor Mars thought back.
This is
cool! Can we do this in the palace?
No. It is
rude.
Dang.
BOOOOOM!!!! Sirens went off. People were
running around, screaming.
They ran outside and saw spaceships.
They were coming by the thousands.
"What is going on,
Mommy?"
"They've come back," was the
reply.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Rei? Rei, come
back!" pleaded Sailor Moon.
"Mama!"
Jupiter
looked at the youma. "You will pay for that! Thunder and
Lighting! Shower Down!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"Moon Princess Elimation!"
Sailor Venus held Mars
in her arms. "Mars? Hey girl, get up!"
Mars opened
her eyes. "Serena?"
Sailor Moon looked at Neo-Moon
and ChibiJupiter, then back at Mars. "Ya. I'm right
here."
Mars smiled. "I know you will defeat the
youma. I checked the fire last night. Take care of CJ and the
Crystal; they will defeat the enemy. . . ." She closed her
eyes.
"Mama!!!!!" ChibiMoon looked at her mom and
didn't believe she could go on without her. She stood up and ran
towards the youma. "Mars Fire Storm Flash!"
The youma
just absorbed her power and sent in back at her.
ChibiMars
dodged. She held her henshion stick in front of her. "Mars
Power!" Red light came out of the stick and she and the youma
had a little duel, then both were surrounded by the red
light.
"ChibiMars! NO! Stop!!!" yelled
ChibiJupiter.
Then the light disappeared, taking the two with
it.
"CM!" cried out the ChibiSenshi and Neo-Moon.
