SHE'S BACK! SHE'S BOLD! AND…SHE'S FINALLY HOME!
Chapter Six: It's Off to Work We Go!
I know I told you that it would be Modern Working Women, but I like this one better
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The alarm went off, jolting Serena awake. "Stupid clock…stupid work…and STUPID, IDIOT DARIEN!" She said loudly, making Luna wake up.
"Serena! You're actually up!" She said. She was now fully awake because of the uncommon sight before her.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah…I need a shower. I'll make it a fast one. I don't want to be late to me first day on the job, do I?" She said sarcastically and made her way into the bathroom.
"That girl is definitely NOT a morning person." Luna said and went to start some coffee.
"Hello class!" The bubbly blonde said causing Hotaru and Sammy both to sweat drop majorly.
"Morning Miss Relena." The students said, even though they didn't want to. They REALLY didn't want her lecture on morale.
Relena smiled. "We have two new students joining us. Please state your names and tell us something about yourselves." She told them.
Hotaru stepped forward, "My name is Hotaru Tomoe…" Hotaru wasn't sure what to say about herself, "I collect lamps."
Sammy stepped forward, "My name is Sammy Tsukino and…I…play basketball?" He said, not sure what to say either.
He and Hotaru looked at each other and simply shrugged.
"Thank you. Now, Hotaru, why don't you go sit next to Duo and Sammy, why don't you go sit next to her."
"YES! I GET THE BABE!" Was heard throughout the classroom. Relena sweat dropped, Sammy snickered and Hotaru went crimson.
"You'll have to excuse my body guards for what they say or do. They're a little…a little…" She said, trying to come up with the best word.
"Too much like boys?" Hotaru offered.
"Exactly! Except Quatre, he's very polite." She said, and gave the floor to the teacher. She followed Hotaru and Sammy to their spots and then sat in between a blonde headed boy and a boy with messy brown hair.
"Thank you Miss Relena. Now, if you'll all turn in your books to page six hundred and ninety-two and begin copying the definitions on the board."
@@
After class, Duo caught up with Hotaru and Sammy, "Hey need some help?"
"Yes…Duo, right?" Hotaru asked.
"Yeah."
"Let's go Maxwell, we're going to be late." A boy with jet-black hair pulled back into a tight ponytail called after him.
"Just a sec. What class do you guys have next?"
"Physical Ed." Sammy said, making Hotaru grimace
"Us too! We're getting a new teacher, so I can't tell you what he's like. By the way, let me introduce you to the guys. This is Heero Yui."
"Hn." Heero said, or mumbled, whichever you like. (A/N: it's not really a mumble is it…I suppose it would just a hned.)
"The guy with the pony tail with his nose in the air is Wufei Chang."
Wufei simply mumbled something about 'Weak onna, injustice, and stupid braided baka.' Which caused Hotaru to glare and then laugh at his remark about Duo's hair. 'Boy is Raye going to have fun with this one.'
"Next is Quatre Winner."
"How do you do?" The blonde Relena had sat next to said cheerfully and waved.
Hotaru smiled and said, "Fine, thank you."
Sammy simply nodded politely.
"Last is Trowa Barton, but he doesn't go here. He's at work."
"What's he do?" Hotaru asked curiously.
"He's a protector. We all are, the four of us protect Relena a lot because she's the princess of the world." He said, dripping with disdain and sarcasm. "We have all our classes with her, except this next one, which she refuses to take. She can do that because she own the school."
"I take it, you don't like her."
"Not in the least."
"My sister just got a job as a secretary for the protectors." Sammy told them, and began to wonder if the five weren't the five Gundam pilots.
"Small world!" Duo said, nervously. He was really interested in Hotaru and didn't want her to know about all the people he had killed.
Hotaru looked at him strangely.
Raye sighed as her first class left the gym. They had all been half asleep when she had come into the gym. It had shocked them that she was about their age. Heck, she WAS their age, maybe younger. Needless to say she had gotten some winks and a slap on the butt (even though she was wearing what Mina had described as the un-sexiest thing that was ever created.) It was also needless to say that that person was now in the nurses office with a badly bruised wrist and would be sent to the principle…whoever that was.
She heard a familiar laugh from the doorway and looked over to see Hotaru and Sammy walk in with some older guys. One of the guys, the one with the braid, looked at Hotaru with interest. 'To tell Amara or not to tell Amara…that is the question, which will be answered after this class time.'
Hotaru looked up and smiled. Raye winked at her and sent Sammy a smile.
"Welcome to PE, I'm your new teacher Ms. Raye Hino. You can call me Raye or Ms. Hino. It doesn't matter." She told the class when they had all arrived and she had taken roll. "Now, I'm sure you want to know something other than that, so…I'm 18, yes 18, you heard correctly. No I will not date you, and no don't even try asking. I'm going to teach you martial arts as well as sports, which I'm sure you all know how to do. Playing them will be optional, as I know some of you girls don't like sports." She said.
Hotaru raised her hand and said, "Raye?"
"Yes?" Raye replied kindly.
"What do we do if we don't play?" Raye had thought about that. There was no way Hotaru could have gotten out of PE because it was required by all students.
"You will run errands for me and come up with plays for the sports. All of you who don't play will sort of be my assistant coaches or secret weapons for sports. That's why you'll need to learn the sports."
Hotaru sighed, happier than she had been before she had come in class. He body may have been better since Pharaoh90, but not much.
"Ok, any more questions? GOOD! Now, please, state your name."
They started down at one end and finished at the other. By the time that was finished, they had fifteen minutes left of class. "You may get into groups and talk if you want." She said, pleased that she hadn't been hit on so far.
Hotaru went up to her, "How's today going?"
"First hour was a nightmare. I got hit on eight times and ended up sending one of the boys to the nurse. I hope I didn't hurt him…too much."
Hotaru giggled. "Serves him right."
"SO, tell me about Mr. Maxwell."
Hotaru blushed. "He's really sweet, and funny, and extremely helpful. If it weren't for him we wouldn't have found the gym. I think I'm beginning to crush on him Raye."
"Lord, don't tell Mina, she'll drive you nuts with trying to get you two together. Besides, I think he really does like you too. Also, I won't tell Amara until you do."
Hotaru's eye went wide. "Thank you!!! I'm afraid of what she would do to him."
"Most likely what she wants to do to Darien."
Hotaru thought for a moment. "What do you think should happen to him?"
"Honestly, I think whatever he gets is what he deserves. He had no right to kill Mr. and Mrs. Tsukino. He was way out of line. He's a possessive jerk and Serena deserves so much more." She said, her eyes filling with sadness and anger.
Duo sat with Sammy and the others. "What do you suppose they're talking about?"
"Baka onna things." Wufei said.
"I'd be careful saying that." Sammy said, giving him some friendly and EXTREMELY wise advice.
"Why?"
"I happen to know Raye personally. If you say that to her face, she'll kill you."
"How do you know Ms. Hino?" Quatre asked.
"She, my sister, and Hotaru are all the very best of friends. Serena and Raye are very protective of Hotaru because she's younger, but the one you should really look out for is Amara. Amara has practically raised Hotaru since her dad died. Also, don't make my sister mad or hurt her in ANY way. They'll all go after you."
"Who's all?" Heero asked, speaking for the first time.
"Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina, Amara, Michelle, Trista, Hotaru, Seyia, Taiki, and Yaten. Darien would too, now that I think of it. Serena would probably kill him first though."
"Bunch of weak onnas." Wufei muttered.
"I don't mean to sound rude, but Ms. Hotaru doesn't look like she could or would hurt anyone." Quatre said.
"She's stronger than she seems."
"SO, about you and Hotaru…" Duo said, being nosey. "Are you two together?"
Sammy looked at him and couldn't help but smirk. 'Yep, he's got it bad…to tell Amara, or not to tell Amara. That is the question!' "No…first, I don't see her in that way. Just as a good friend. Second: Amara would kill me. Third: Serena would kill me. Fourth: Hotaru doesn't see ME in that way."
Duo looked like he was floating on cloud nine.
"What do you have next?" Quatre asked.
"Home economics. Lita Kino, one of the ones that I mentioned, she's the new teacher there…as a matter of fact, I know the new art teacher, the new drama teacher, AND the new librarian."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Michelle is teaching art, Mina's teaching drama, and Amy is the new librarian."
"Let me see you schedule." Duo said and took it from him. "Hey, we have all the same classes!"
"You'll be happy to know that Hotaru has the exact same schedule as I do." Sammy said.
Duo's eyes got stars in them, "Thank you Shinagami!"
Sammy was more than a little surprised to hear this. "You're thanking the God of Death? Why not the Goddess of Love?"
"Long story…" Duo said, laughing nervously.
As the bell rang, they gathered their things and headed out the door towards Home Economics.
Lita was having the time of her life. Everyone in her first and second hours had enjoyed her cooking and had completely been ready to learn how to cook like her.
She walked into her storage room and put the plate of extra cookies down. She tidied up a little while.
She frowned when she thought of the few boys that had hit on her. She had even swatted one with the spatula after he had run his hand up her arm suggestively. After his hand started to swell, she had no choice but to send him the nurse. The girls had cheered and said 'Serves him right! Girl Power!'
The bell rang and she went out to see her third class. She sent a wink to Hotaru and Sammy and even winked yet again at Hotaru when she saw Duo sort of staring at her. 'Is he going to get it when Amara finds out…' "How do you do? My name is Lita Kino but please, call me Lita. Ms. Kino sounds too old. I'm 18 years old, but don't get any ideas. I've already sent one to the nurse for getting a little too friendly. I think it's needless to say that he won't be able to write for a while. Now, I'm not mean, but I will be if you don't respect me or anyone else in the room. I'm going to take roll, so please say here when you are called."
After that was done, she put the roll outside and then went back in front of the class. "Now, I think I should describe what I'm going to teach you. I'm going to teach sewing, cooking, the basics of a good diet, and child care."
Every girl in the room, including Hotaru, got glassy eyed. Every boy visibly paled. Quite a bit too.
"Now, you're going to be working in groups of two for the rest of the year, so I'll get those assigned."
She picked up a clipboard. She also took the lists of boys and girls names and began to pick. "Now, if you'll get in your groups when I call your names…Wufei Chang and Megan Picking. Quatre Winner and Sue Ellen Henning. Duo Maxwell and…" She saw him praying, "Hotaru Tomoe. (Duo let out a 'YES!' which made Hotaru blush and Lita to think, 'Yep, he's definitely going to get it from Amara.') "Sammy Tsukino and Marimaea Barton. Heero Yui and…" She saw him looking up and mouthing to God, 'Not Relena, Not Relena' (A/N: Yep, that's right! Heero is afraid of being stuck as partners with Relena for the rest of the year…I would be too.) "Joanne Feltmore." Heero breathed a huge sigh of relief, while Relena looked madder than a skunk. "Joshua Hartly and Relena Peacecraft."
When she was done, the oven let off a ding and she went to it. When she opened the door a smell that could tempt Satan drifted into the room.
"That smells good." Duo said, and even Heero and Wufei had to nod.
"Okay, seeing as this is my first day of class I see no need to start giving major homework. However you do have today's assignment to do so you can all get your first grade from me in the grade book. That assignment is to have at least one cookie. Now, there's plenty more from where this came from so don't be afraid to take two or three."
Everyone practically ran to get in line. Hotaru waited until last to get up and when she did the world seemed to spin. "Jupiter…" She called out quietly as she slipped to the floor and into unconsciousness.
"Hotaru!" She said and left the counter to see to her friend.
Duo turned around and saw Hotaru fall.
@@WHERE HOTARU IS@@
Hotaru looked around. She was in the royal gardens of the moon kingdom. The earth and sun were offering no light. "What's going on? I sense the evil, but I can't pinpoint it. Where is it?"
"Simple minded Saturn. It's all around you…we're all around you." A hundred voices said together.
"Who are you?"
A form materialized in front of her. It was Beryl. She flashed and then became Wiseman. He flashed and became Pharaoh90. Then he became the Death busters. They came faster, showing all the evils that Sailor Moon had ever battled and finally HE came. Chaos. All of his evil was surrounding the moon, so no light could shine to warm the ancient kingdom. Hotaru stumbled backward in fear.
"Stupid Hotaru…did you think we were gone for good? Oh you did…how weak and pathetic of you."
"No…no no no no no no." She kept saying over and over.
"We're coming Hotaru…and there's nothing you or any of the others can do to stop us." The form advanced and then, just as it was about to swallow her whole, she woke up.
@@BACK IN CLASS@@
"Jupiter!" She screamed and sat up to see a worried Lita and Duo. Everyone was looking at her with worried looks from behind them.
She quickly grabbed Lita and hugged her. Hotaru began to sob out of fear.
"Hotaru…what's gotten you so shaken up and scared? You're hands are like ice." Lita said as she hugged the girl to her tightly.
Raye burst into the room and went straight to Hotaru. "Taru…" She said and encircled the girl and Lita, letting her know that she was safe again. "Don't worry Hotaru…everything's going to be fine…everything is going to be alright. Come on, I'll take you to see Amy…she'll know what to do."
Hotaru stood up still holding onto Raye for comfort. "It was so awful Raye…I've never been so scared in my life…it was so awful…" Duo heard her tell the raven-haired girl as they went out of the room and toward the one called Amy.
Everyone stood in silence until the bell rang.
Lita looked at all of them, "Don't let this worry you. Hotaru will be all right. She's a strong girl."
"How did Raye know to come here?" Duo asked her.
"Raye sort of has a sixth sense when something is wrong. She especially knows when it's one of her friends."
Amy had come into the library to find it a mess. That morning she had set out to organize these books to the best of her ability. First she had taken all the books down and cleaned the shelves. Second she decided where everything was to go. Third she had separated the fiction from the non- fiction. She then started organizing the fiction alphabetically by author. She was only at the end of the A section when Raye had come in with a sobbing Hotaru at the beginning of fourth hour.
Amy dropped the books she was holding and went straight to the violet- eyed girl.
"Hotaru! What's happened? Did someone say something?"
"I passed out in Lita's class. While I was out, I got a vision. I was on the Moon, near the spot that Princess Serenity loved so much, you know, near the fountain where we used to meet every day? It was black, pitch- black. It was so cold. The sun wasn't in the sky and the earth wasn't shining like it always did. I could feel the evil…that's when they started to appear. Beryl was first, and then Wiseman replaced her. They all came, each taking the other's place. Finally, Chaos came. He said that they weren't dead and that they were coming…and there wasn't anything we could do to stop them. What do we do Amy, what are we going to do. I'm scared…they've all joined forces. Their together in this."
Amy and Raye paled. All of their enemies had joined forces.
"I don't know. We need to tell Serena. Trista will tell us something surely…surely." She repeated over again.
As if in a daze, she started to put the books in order again.
Raye and Hotaru went up to the books and started to get them in order with her.
OKAY!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna stop this here before I completely use up all the scouts and, to those of you who wanted the G-boys in soon…THEY'RE HERE!
REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^+^ Kisses to those of you who do. ^+^

After class, Duo caught up with Hotaru and Sammy, "Hey need some help?"
"Yes…Duo, right?" Hotaru asked.
"Yeah."

"Who are you?"
A form materialized in front of her. It was Beryl. She flashed and then became Wiseman. He flashed and became Pharaoh90. Then he became the Death busters. They came faster, showing all the evils that Sailor Moon had ever battled and finally HE came. Chaos. All of his evil was surrounding the moon, so no light could shine to warm the ancient kingdom. Hotaru stumbled backward in fear.
"Stupid Hotaru…did you think we were gone for good? Oh you did…how weak and pathetic of you."
"No…no no no no no no." She kept saying over and over.
"We're coming Hotaru…and there's nothing you or any of the others can do to stop us." The form advanced and then, just as it was about to swallow her whole, she woke up.
@@BACK IN CLASS@@
"Jupiter!" She screamed and sat up to see a worried Lita and Duo. Everyone was looking at her with worried looks from behind them.
She quickly grabbed Lita and hugged her. Hotaru began to sob out of fear.
"Hotaru…what's gotten you so shaken up and scared? You're hands are like ice." Lita said as she hugged the girl to her tightly.
Raye burst into the room and went straight to Hotaru. "Taru…" She said and encircled the girl and Lita, letting her know that she was safe again. "Don't worry Hotaru…everything's going to be fine…everything is going to be alright. Come on, I'll take you to see Amy…she'll know what to do."
Hotaru stood up still holding onto Raye for comfort. "It was so awful Raye…I've never been so scared in my life…it was so awful…" Duo heard her tell the raven-haired girl as they went out of the room and toward the one called Amy.
Everyone stood in silence until the bell rang.
Lita looked at all of them, "Don't let this worry you. Hotaru will be all right. She's a strong girl."
"How did Raye know to come here?" Duo asked her.
"Raye sort of has a sixth sense when something is wrong. She especially knows when it's one of her friends."
Amy had come into the library to find it a mess. That morning she had set out to organize these books to the best of her ability. First she had taken all the books down and cleaned the shelves. Second she decided where everything was to go. Third she had separated the fiction from the non- fiction. She then started organizing the fiction alphabetically by author. She was only at the end of the A section when Raye had come in with a sobbing Hotaru at the beginning of fourth hour.
Amy dropped the books she was holding and went straight to the violet- eyed girl.
"Hotaru! What's happened? Did someone say something?"
"I passed out in Lita's class. While I was out, I got a vision. I was on the Moon, near the spot that Princess Serenity loved so much, you know, near the fountain where we used to meet every day? It was black, pitch- black. It was so cold. The sun wasn't in the sky and the earth wasn't shining like it always did. I could feel the evil…that's when they started to appear. Beryl was first, and then Wiseman replaced her. They all came, each taking the other's place. Finally, Chaos came. He said that they weren't dead and that they were coming…and there wasn't anything we could do to stop them. What do we do Amy, what are we going to do. I'm scared…they've all joined forces. Their together in this."
Amy and Raye paled. All of their enemies had joined forces.
"I don't know. We need to tell Serena. Trista will tell us something surely…surely." She repeated over again.
As if in a daze, she started to put the books in order again.
Raye and Hotaru went up to the books and started to get them in order with her.
