Chapter 6
Sailor
Moon and Sailor Mars were already at the scene. Rubeus was standing
in the sky near his spaceship, staring down at them.
"Well,
well, where's the Rabbit?"
Sailor Moon and
Mars stayed silent, and glared up at Rubeus.
Rubeus's gaze
drifted to behind the two Scouts where he spotted five other figures
running towards the scene. His mouth opened as he recognized the two
newcomers. Younger Jupiter and Younger Venus! They were in the past,
also!
"We have to
try the Sailor Planet attack!" Mars shouted. "Where are the
others?"
"They shold be here so... there they are!"
Sailor Moon cried. Mars looked to where Sailor Moon was pointing.
Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter were just a few feet away. Then Mars
frowned. Who were the other two? The three Scouts had now reached
them.
"Let's do it!" Venus said, knowing what the
other two planned on doing because of their formation. The other two
nodded. The five girls held hands and said one after the
other,
"Mercury Star Power!"
"Mars Star
Power!"
"Jupiter Star Power!"
"Venus Star
Power!"
"Moon Crystal Power!"
Their lghts
surrounded them. Suddenly, they were pulled apart. The Scouts
screamed. Tuxedo Mask had just arrived
on the sight and held
Sailor Moon.
"No!" Sailor Moon cried as the other four
Scouts (Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus) were lifted up into the
ship.
"No!" Reenie watched from a distance.
Suddenly, Serena
was aware of two other people. She looked to the rooftops and spotted
two other Scouts. "Who are they?" Sailor Moon asked Tuxedo
Mask, and was surprised when they jumped down from the roofs. Sailor
Moon recognized the one in green as the one who had saved them
last time. Younger Sailor Jupiter spoke first.
"My Queen, I
am hoping that you will allow me to help you defeat Rubeus."
Sailor Moon was definately surprised when she was called My Queen.
Damn! YSJ thought.
Have to remember she doesn't know yet.
"I hope so, too,"
YSV said.
"First off all," Sailor Moon said. "It's
Sailor Moon. Second, who are you two?"
YSJ was the one that answered. "I am Younger Sailor Jupiter. Beside me, is YSV or Younger Sailor Venus." Sailor Moon recognized the second new Scout as Mina's look alike cousin. She frowned, as she recognized the resemblance.
YSJ looked at YSV when she saw the frown.
She knows! YSV said to YSJ with her eyes. There was something that was close to desperation in showing in YSV's eyes.
Well, duh! YSJ
tried to say to YSV with her eyes.
"What!" Sailor Moon
yelled. "Can you two thought-speak, too?"
YSV smiled at
Sailor Moon's burst of anger. "Kind of," she responded,
looking at Sailor Moon. "We've known each other long enough to
know what each other's thinking, if we look at each other's eyes.
It's kind of easy. All you have to do is read the expression in the
other person's eyes."
"YSV!" YSJ yelled at her
fellow Sailor.
YSV looked at YSJ, a look of pure innocence on her face.
She knows already, YSJ said with her eyes, There's no harm in telling her the truth.
There is harm, YSV said to YSJ, Pluto will kill us! She won't like us disrupting the timeline.
YSJ rolled her eyes
at her friend. Puh-lease! she said with her eyes, I've already
disrupted the timeline and nothing has happened to me!
You
already told your mother! YSV yelled angrily with her eyes. How could
you? Pluto will have your head when we get back to the future!
YSJ
shook her head in response. Pluto's the Guardian of Time, she said,
She has the power to come back and get my
ass back to the future
if I screwed up. So obviously I haven't. I think that we're supposed
to tell them.
You think? YSV asked with her eyes.
YSJ nodded.
"Can
you two please stop doing that!" Sailor Moon yelled frustrated.
She was getting aggravated by their thought-
speak or eye-speak or
whatever they called it. She had no clue what they were discussing
and it was pissing the hell out of her.
Truth time? YSV asked
YSJ.
YSJ nodded in
response. It was time to stop hiding and to tell them the truth. Even
if it was only one of them there at the moment.
"Sailor
Moon," YSJ began, "I'm guessing that you've figured us
out."
Sailor Moon looked
at YSJ, a look of confusion crossing her face. She had them figured
out? YSJ smiled at the confused look on Sailor Moon's face. "You
and your friends suspected us today at Raye's didn't you?" YSJ
asked. She smiled as a look of understanding suddenly dawned on
Sailor Moon's face.
"You're Claudia?" Sailor Moon
asked YSJ.
YSJ smiled and nodded. "And that would mean that you're Mina's look alike cousin, right?"
YSV looked to YSJ and they smiled at each other, then they turned to Sailor Moon. "Um, technically we're not your cousins," YSV said.
Sailor Moon looked
at her. If they weren't cousins, then what were they?
"Yeah,"
YSJ said, "You see, it's kind of a long story."
"What's
a long story?" Tuxedo Mask asked still holding onto Sailor Moon.
"Who are you two and what are you guys talking about 'look alike
cousins'?"
Sailor Moon looked
to the ground. She had forgotten that Tuxedo Mask didn't know about
their look alike cousins. The Scouts hadn't bothered to call Darien
to the meeting.
"Let's just get Small Lady to a safe place
before we discuss this any further," YSJ said, motioning to
Reenie.
Small Lady? Sailor Moon wondered. Why were they calling Reenie that?
Tuxedo Mask nodded in agreement. Although he didn't understand why the two girls were calling Reenie Small Lady, he did agree that they did need to get her to safety.
YSJ ran to where
Reenie was standing, and picked her up. "Claudia," Reenie
whispered to the Scout, fear in her voice.
"Small Lady,
everything is okay," YSJ whispered to the young child, trying to
erase the girl's fear.
"But the others...?"
"Will
be okay," YSJ interrupted the child. Poor child has seen so much
evil, YSJ thought to herself. She pitied the Small Lady for being so
young and having witnessed so much.
"Where can we go that is
safe?" YSV asked Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon while YSJ tried to
comfort Reenie.
Sailor Moon turned her head so that she was
looking up at Tuxedo Mask. He nodded, and Sailor Moon turned back to
face YSV.
"Follow us,"
she told them. With that, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask turned in the
direction they had come and began
running.
YSV motioned to YSJ to follow them, and ran after Sailor Moon. With Small Lady in her arms, YSJ ran after YSV.
Melanie woke up from her nap and
looked around the room. She was lucky that Dr. Anderson was away at a
medical
convention in America. At least that was what Amy had told
her when she had asked where Amy's mother was. Where is
Amy,
anyways? Melanie wondered, getting up from Dr. Anderson's bed. Amy's
room was right across the hall and without even looking in it,
Melanie could tell that no one was in it.
"Amy?"
Melanie called as she got up from the bed. "Amy? Where are yo"
Melanie stopped talking as soon as she
saw that the ring on her
finger was glowing blue.
Trouble!
Melanie thought immediately. Then another thought entered her head:
It had to be one of the other Younger Sailors contacting her. They
were the only ones who could contact each other through the rings.
Melanie nearly jumped when she heard the phone ring. She thought
about answering it or not, then decided that she should. It could be
one of the other younger Sailor Scouts trying to contact her. She
picked up the phone, wondering why her ring was glowing. They weren't
supposed to interfere in the timeline and helping when trhere was
trouble would definitely be getting involved in the timeline, even if
it was their jobs as Scouts. "Hello?" Melanie said, picking
up the phone.
"Melanie?" a familiar voice asked.
"Kirsten?" Melanie asked.
"Is Amy there?"
Kirsten asked.
"No," Melanie answered truthfully. She
couldn't see Amy anywhere and was pretty sure that her mother wasn't
the type to play around like that. "Why? Isn't Raye
home?"
"No," Kirsten replied. "Is your ring
glowing?" Melanie nodded, then remembered that she was talking
to Kirsten over the phone.
"Yeah," she replied. "Yours,
too?"
"Yep."
"It must be Claud or
Shantal," Melanie said.
"You think they're in
trouble?"
"Who knows, Kirsten? Didn't Claud say that
she was going to tell Lita what she was?"
"Yeah. Do you
think that the others are at Lita's, waiting for us?"
"Why
would they do that? Why wouldn't they confront us in their own
homes?"
"I don't know, Melanie."
"Do
you think that something may actually be up?"
"Maybe."
"How
did you know Amy's phone number?"
"It was on Raye's
speed dial. Along with everyone else's and some guy named Darien.
Why?"
"I was just thinking," Melanie began.
"And
we know how often you do that," Kirsten said before Melanie
could get another word out.
"Oh, be quite!" Melanie
told her friend. "Anyways, I was just thinking that maybe we
should contact Shantal and
Claudia to see what's up. Maybe Lita
and Mina are still home."
"And if they're not?"
Kirsten asked. Melanie shrugged.
"Then we have to talk with
Shantal and Claudia and decide together whether or not to go to Small
Lady," she said.
"Do you know Lita's number?"
Kirsten asked.
"I can probably find it around here,"
Melanie said. "Amy's so neat and tidy. If her system here's
anything like the one she has in the future than I can find it no
problem."
"Want me to shorten your search and just
give you the number?"
"Yes!"
"759-6248,"
Kirsten said.
"Thanks."
"I'll phone you as
soon as I'm done phoning Mina's."
"Bye,
Kirsten."
"Bye, Melanie." With that,
both girls hung up. Melanie waited for a minute or so, then picked up
the phone and dialed the number that Kirsten had given her.
