Chapter 7- Minnie and Phoebe
Phoebe:
I hesitated outside Leda's door and I heard giggling coming from inside, Ana. I sighed and chuckled, those two thought no one knew. Shaking my head I went over to Minnie's room. I balled my fist and knocked on the door.
Minnie answered, "Hi Phoebe! Come on in. I was just going to try and find the training grounds. Wanna come?"
I shrugged and thought back to our fight with the last monster, it had been a giant cockroach. " Yeah, I need to practice my fighting skills. Wait here and I'll go back to my room and change."
Minnie smiled happily and waved. I ran back to my room, I looked about; the entire place had been done in shades of red, orange and yellow. I skipped up the stairs and donned a pair of work out shorts, red, and a tank top that was a mixture between orange and yellow and a pair of fuzzy red wristbands, along with a fuzzy elastic terry cloth headband.
I grabbed a towel from the rack in the bathroom and jogged over to Minnie's room. She was outfitted in a get up similar to mine only in yellow and orange. I signaled a servant and asked for directions, she told us exactly where it was and then went about with her work out. Minnie gasped as we entered the practice grounds. These practice grounds were bigger than the ones I had seen before. Minnie slung her towel over the nearest tree, jogged out to the center of the ground and began to warm up. I followed and began to do the same.
Neo- Queen Serenity watched the two girls practice their fighting skills. She chuckled. They were the opposites of their mothers. Minnie was more into fighting than her mother ever was and she was a much better cook. Phoebe didn't have a temper like her mother and was more calm and defensive in battle. Ana was nothing like her mother; with the power to ward of evil, see into the future and have powerful attacks, she was a strong warrior, but she might have a temper. Leda may be the daughter of a great cook, but she probably couldn't cook to save her life. Instead her talent probably rested in acting, and some martial arts.
Queen Serenity shook her head. It was almost like the girls had inherited different scouts genes. Minnie was more like Sailor Jupiter, Phoebe was almost the clone of Sailor Mercury, Ana acted a little like Sailor Mars and Leda might turn out to be another Mina. Scary, she thought.
Her husband, King Endyimon walked up behind.
"Enough daydreaming, meatball head," he teased as her wrapped his arms around her waist, "Lets get back to business. What are the girls going to wear tonight for Small Lady's return?"
Serenity playfully slapped Endymion's arm playfully, "How many times will I have to tell you not to call me that?"
Endymion shrugged and rested his head on her shoulder, "Until I stop."
Serenity leaned back into his embrace, "Which is never. I guess they will dress as princesses, as usual for some. And Small Lady will finally meet her team or some of them at least. Has Amara, Michelle, Trista or Hotaru answer back yet?"
"No, but they're probably coming," answered Endyimon, "If not, I'm sure they'll come later."
Leda:
I rearranged my hair as someone knocked on the door.
"Come in," I called, turning around to see who it was.
Minnie swept in, "Ready girl? Not that old hairstyle! Even Ana let Maria mess with her hair and face! You should see her! Hot city! I'll bet almost everyone will want to dance with her! Everyone!"
I bit my lip and tried to hide the jealous blush that covered my face, Minnie just patted my shoulder, "I'm just kidding Leda I know you have a thing for Ana and I know she likes you too. Why else would she go all feminine all of a sudden? She is trying to impress you!"
I think I turned seven shades of pink to red in five seconds flat. "I'm not interested in looks, though she is beautiful, I care for Ana, not her legs."
Minnie giggled, "Then ask her to dance tonight," she said with a kind smile.
"Huh? I couldn't! She's, she'd be surrounded by legions of men, why would she pay attention to one girl?" I said admitting defeat.
Minnie put a hand on my shoulder, "You'll never know until you ask."
Ana:
I sat in front of the mirror and gulped as Phoebe surveyed Maria's handiwork.
"Not bad. I think Leda will like it," she said casually.
I turned an odd shade of red and spun around, "What! How did you know? Um, you think so?"
Phoebe grinned, "Think? I know so! It's been obvious how you feel about Leda. Your Aunt Maria also knows. How did she figure it out, God only knows."
I sighed, "Yeah I guess I haven't been very discrete about my attraction."
Phoebe frowned, "No you've been constrained about it, too constrained. Are all Andersons like this?"
I laughed weakly. I stood and straightened one last fold. "Ready?" I took a deep breath. "As ready as I'll ever be."
