Disclaimer- it just occurred to me that i don't really have to do one of these darn things every single chapter. But you know what i am because there is no way im taking a chance of getting sued because i have like 10 dollars and that's it and there is no way in heck that im going to get rid of everything i own including my cat to pay it off or go to jail or have to pick up trash or clean crap and who knows what for community service. I think we should all take a moment of silence for those brave people who volunteer time for old people and clean their umm . The point is that it's very important that we take take of old people because there kind fragile souls and by having a couple of grandmas that are still alive i have no doubt that they can still whoop our butt back in place if we don't do that whole respect our elders things so shape up sonny or lass and be good because as my grandma says to me she will skin you alive or break off your arm and beat you with the bloody end of it. I still love my grandma though and i don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing i don't take credit for and never will ...please don't sue me I'm to young for the pressure!
Now for some dear reviewers...
Dear Marsgoddess1...
I'm glad you liked the first chapter. I'm glad you didn't say nice. We all know what nice means, it's just a short version of saying..it's nice it's better than ok but not really good and i don't really want to hurt your feeling by saying something that would make you think it's as mediocre and bland as it actually is, but it sure is nice. Still i'm glad you reviewed and i'm well aware that what I just wrote about the word nice has absolutely nothing to do with your review which was cool, groovy, in, funky ( in a good way) all that...you catch my drift i hope.I liked the Rei/Millardo idea,but there isn't going to be much romance in the story,we'll see what happens, oh yes things will be happening, good things,happy things, flowers,buttercups,seagulls, man i love seagulls their so adorable. Anyways sorry if i freaked you out i appreciate the review so much that i'd hug you if you were an actual person i knew and not some floating name like something from twilight zone. Please review again.. and again... and again if you really wanted to, not that i'm pressuring you to review or anything ..hint hint...
sincerely,
A Rei liker as well
(but not in that kind of way)

Dear Chris...
Well well well look who used the word nice. I don't know what your up to but i'll figure it out. Trying to confuse me huh using nice right before job and than calling it interesting while squeezing an update soon right at the end.. Genius very tactical, but i'm one step ahead of you buddy. Your darn right i'm doing to update, maybe not in one day or two, but i'm sure as heck going to do it.
P.S Ignore everything i just wrote because i love reviews, including yours, and i say interesting when i write reviews to so I'm taking that as a good sign, even the nice, the nice is good but we could of put a few more exclamation marks in there tut tut tut. Naw im just pulling your head thank you thank you thank you thank you for the review and i foresee you not getting pooped on by seagulls for you good deed.
( happened to my mom it was hilarious)
Dear MiLeggie...
where to start, where to start, i know! I'm glad i made you laugh with that disclaimer, i like it when people laugh. I can't help but find it odd when people laugh at stuff when i'm being totally serious like with that pop pop papaya idea, you can't tell me it's not catchy, but i still can't figure out if a papaya is a fruit or vegtable. It looks like a fruit, but i had one one time and it tasted like gum chewed by a dinosaur with gum disease that i scraped from the inside of a shoe who was owned by a guy with athletes foot and had a bunion the equivalent of the times the news has gotten the weather wrong, pretty big. So if it tastes that bad I say it must be a vegetable because i like few vegetables. Actually now that i think of it i like more fruits than vegetables so maybe it's the other way around, cursed papaya trying to confuse me. um i love you to i guess. I need to get around to reading your stories so i can review them. I think i may have read one without remembering since my memory isn't exactly mucho buena. I hope you won't enjoy my story any less when i get more people in the mix and makoto has to share the spotlight and i don't know about that good luck either. I lost my lucky rabbit foot years ago and when i used my special lucky pen the day of a test it broke while the teacher was still handing out the test and i didn't even get it yet so i don't think my luck mileage is very high. Thanks for pointing out the mistakes, i need to get around to hunting them down, rounding them up, and fixing their britches. Cursed typos, you know what its a conspiracy! Really it's all a plot by those cursed big high and mighty people that sit in their big poofy comfy computer chairs while we or I have to sit in this crud of a computer chair that kills my back and will probably cause me to develop a hump or something! ( i don't have anything against people that appear to have " humps or something" i know this one old lady that kinda slouches like that, but she bakes the most rockin' bread on any block so don't dis her)
I love your reviews MiLeggie and i hope i get more!
Dear SilverCaladan...
You certainly gave me a run for my money. I'm glad you don't think i'm a total ditz, but i admit i definetly act like one sometimes when my quest to make people laugh and be happy goes to the just plain weird point. I heard what you said loud and clear but this chapter isn't really different to me from the other two i just put out so don't go on expecting a phenomenon like the big bang even after your review. If you do review i don't mind that you be straight forward and all, but would you please not put insults in like you did before. I think i know myself well enough that i can get what your saying without those insults. Even though i agreed with you on lots of points and i'm not upset with your intentions, you can be kind of intimidating if you say everything like that and i'd rather you helped me by telling me nicer from now on because the insults only hurt my feelings. I would have given you the same amount of respect of a response even if you hadn't used your unique way of getting attention. You may be cynical and jaded but I still wouldn't mind going over exactly what you think i could improve as long as you be sensitive to the fact that this is my first story and i'm not trying to do a bad job, but the way i write it i consider fun and i don't want to really write if i need to warp all of my ideas and writing because of a few flaws in it. I'm happy just doing my best and not trying to make it perfect. Someone way in over their head made up the word perfect. Some clearer suggestions from you won't hurt though so i hope you'll support my non-perfect self with this never perfect story. I can't help but like you though your like some wind up toy that says after you wind it up " you can do better than that fool!" There is such a variety of people these days. By the way i sent you an email. I hope you never get really mad at me...
sincerely, PeppyLaPerson
Thanks to all other reviewers i didn't do a dear reviewer to. Your all just as important as any other reviewer!
you know these dear reviewers are longer than some stories i've read, oh well, i love to give the people who acknowledge that i even exist a reply so they know that i know they exist... Onward to the story!
The Greatest Theft
Chapter 2 What's in a theft?
Preventers Main Headquarters of both EarthSphere and Colonies located somewhere in Peacecraft D.C , United States of America 10:00AM Eastern Time
A woman known as Chief Une among the people who worked under her and Lady Une among the people who she was on friendly terms with frowned as she watched the news on her small television in her large office. She didn't like the situation one bit.
"Good morning I'm Roana Messinger reporting the 10:00 morning news live from BloodHound Transportation Service where a robbery was committed last night."
"Today at approximately 3:17 AM the fire alarm triggered by the emergency fire exit of the building was set off. Neither the police or preventers on the scene are releasing much information at this time and we have yet to get any comments from them. The public in the area are already stressing their suspicion that the theft was committed by the same group of people who are responsible for a large number of thefts this year and unsolved cases from years back."
" It seems the publics opinion of the security the police and preventers provide is wavering d-"
Miss Une quickly shut off the television, the news womans words only made her more furious. These criminals were getting more and more out of control and it was her job to provide control and stability to the public. She had first addressed the threat a few years ago when the war ended and more people were adjusting to the thought of peace. Pacifists of course took it well, but anti-peace groups were always making noise and the crime rate was growing. As soon as she had took her position as the head of the preventers she made sure her goals were concrete and then set to work controlling the anti-peace groups antics while lowering and stabilizing the crime rate.
The focus was becoming more on the people than the war and the crackdown had worked as she had planned for the most part. As more and more criminals were being caught and shut cases were being reopened there was evidence that some of the crimes could be linked together, but the culprit or culprits could not be identified immediately.
There was so much to be done and reforms to be made that many cases were overlooked.
As time passed she noticed that some crimes were becoming bolder, but that they couldn't be linked to any known syndicates or anti-organizations. Through investigation and the publics accounts she became aware that most suspected or claimed they knew that it was a group of people, supposedly female, that were performing more thefts and had been throughout the war. She didn't push the possibility aside so easily. It was entirely possible since the aftershock of the war, when more important political matters were being addressed, that a group of criminals could use the distraction to their advantage and not receive a full amount of investigation.
She had strengthened the the man power of the investigation early, not being a woman lacking control, to help ease her mind of the continuous stress. Her reverie was ended by a knock on the door.
Her tone voiced her state of irritation as she said "Come in". A man named Kevin Perry walked leisurely into the room and calmly greeted his superior with casual "good morning". She had promoted him from a field agent to a field agent supervisor and with good reason. He had good sense of leadership and was far to professional to event think of acting in a different manner, unlike some other agents. (coughChangcough)
"Your report on the BloodHound Transportation Service" Said Une in her authorative tone.
"I have good news Chief"
Unknown location in Tokyo, Japan 1:00AM ( Japanese time?)
Usagi struggled to keep herself awake while her friends were talking. She was so tired she gave up on talking and only mumbled every once in a while. It wasn't her fault if she fell asleep they were the ones who expected her to stay awake after such a long night, and on an empty stomach...
"Must concentrate until bed, oh comfy bed" she reminded herself before she managed to tune into the conversation again. They were reminiscing about stealing from the BloodHound Transportation Service. "even the name of the building is long, makes me tired just thinking about it".
" Hey Minako do you think they'll find any remains of that helicopter?" She said a little groggily joining in the conversation again. All the girls, except Rei who was driving, turned to her giving her a look she knew all to well
"Um Usagi we just went over that like 3 minutes ago" Minako answered grinning at her tired friend.
"Like it's a surprise meatball head took another vacation to la la land" Rei grumbled from the front. Ami intervened early knowing everyone was a little tired and grumpy.
"concentrate on the road Rei no need to risk an accident this early"
" I can get chased by a load of security guards and come out fine, but i can't drive a freaking mini van without crashing! How does that make since ami?"
"It's not your driving skills i doubt it's just that were all tired and the risk of a car crash is increased with a tired or disoriented driver at the wheel"
"Disoriented? You make it sound like I'm not well enough to drive a vehicle!"
"Well Rei" Makoto joined in " when you and Usagi get at it I'd say disoriented would be pretty close to the condition you become"she added before laughing. Rei glared at makoto through the rear view mirror and huffed before putting in another word. "Look whose talking your no perfect angel either Makoto". Makoto fixed her eyes to the back of Rei's seat briefly and replied " Yeah well i never said i was, none of us are and we never will be"
Usagi enjoyed watching Rei's steam aimed at someone else for once but there was tension growing in between them again and she wanted to get rid of it. She straightened herself up in her seat and put on a smile. "We may not be good people, but at least we stick together and we give the police and preventers a good runaround, at least unless we get caught." Minako feigned a gasp at Usagis words. " "unless we caught" say it isn't so, ha they catch us i doubt they'll be able to stop us until were old and we brake our hips trying to get away or something!"
"Don't get to cocky Minako, none of us should, there will always be the chance we'll end up in prison that's nothing to joke about." Ami said frowning from Minako's attitude.
"Yeah Minako it's not fun and games there at all i've been there remember and trust me life is a slammer there" added a solemn sounding Makoto. Minako got rid of the rotten mood she could see clouding the group "ok ok! We all know the risks and there high, but we can't turn back now and live like normal people so we might as well enjoy the freedom we have now and poking at the authorities is as fun as anything"
They all nodded and returned to their first topic
"Since the information should have been sent by now" came Ami's voice laced with fatigue "we can relax a little while we lie low and hopefully setsuna will be able to find us someplace to stay that has less people...who are the type to attract attention"
Usagi grimaced slightly when she pictured some of their current neighbors. They were staying in a neighborhood that seemed to slumish to her. They managed to get decent looking and smelling rooms in their current apartment but all around them were the leftovers of society. Homeless people, thugs, prostitutes, murderers some of the things she hated about her lifestyle the most and all of which seemed to attract and repel the police at the same time. Even though she considered herself a leftover of society as well, no better or worse than any other, she felt lucky to have found accomplices. Maybe the crudest form of a friend, but it was better than being dead or worse.
She decided that the conversation wasn't interesting enough to her that she would want to try to stay awake so she let herself doze off not even caring if Rei thought her lazy.
AN:Well no gundam guys yet i can't just pop them in without a good reason. Don't worry about the OC though he's chopped liver. I think though that i should mention to all you hardcore romance fans (you know who you are, if there are any) that there isn't going to much romance but i get that if the guys were real in any story or real life that it would be difficult not to resist jumping them if you didn't know that you would die a painful death for doing it. Really old ladies might try it if they thought it would be a good last thing to do before they died. The idea of thinking they would ever be real kind of weirds me out, but whatever floats your boat. I need to ask if anyone would be willing to spend some of their valuable lifetime in being my BETA. I don't really know what a BETA is, but i've seen the word lots of times along with other computer mumbo jumbo and thanks to the reviewer for the idea because i don't like those elusive typos either. I swear even the spell check is against me sometimes I would've finished this chapter sooner but my birthday kinda distracted me and i had the writers blues and i procrastinate a lot. So if anyone would be willing to help me and BETA (and tell what the freak it is) just tell me and i'll email you or something, and formating so that it looks and sounds right when you read it is harder than i thought, but i'm trying. Whoop whoop happy late birthday to me and everyone else whose b-day is july 16 whoop whoop!
OK IF YOU HAVE THE IDEA OF FLAMING ME FOR NO REASON YOU BETTER THINK TWICE BECAUSE WHEN I WALK INTO A BOOKSTORE AND I DON'T GET A BOOK BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT'S INTERESTING I DON'T GO TO PEOPLE WHO LIKE IT AND SAY IT'S BAD JUST BECAUSE IT'S NOT MY OWN STYLE THAT I LIKE, BUT CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM IS OKAY JUST BE NICE ABOUT IT.
