Episode 4 Act 5 Jewelry

Krahazik was at his hut getting ready for his first day at college. He was in his human guise trying to get into his new college uniform. He had arranged his schedule so that he had almost every class with Michelle. Wasn't all that hard to do once he broke into the college system. He also worried about his sister. She hadn't shown her face in the past week since she blew up the hospital. Her temper. He wondered how that came about. He had a few ideas where she might be, and he was sure that new diva performing next week just had to be her. He wanted to go but wasn't sure if he should bring Michelle.

Michelle rushed to the market to check out the new jewelry booth before she had to be in class for her make up exam. "Wow, they weren't lying... ooooo I have to get those earrings." Michelle then spotted a nice set of gold chains with hearts on them, one said 'Together' and the other said 'Forever'. "I absolutely must get those for Krahazik and me... he'll love it." Michelle glanced at her watched. "aaahhhh, I'm going to be late for my exam." A blast of dust was left in her wake as she flew down the street for class.

Krahazik shadow shifted to the school so as not to be late. He was glad he had scoped it out 2 days ago. He was quite proud of himself. There was only 1 shadow knight who could match him in Shadow Shifting skill. Unfortunately, she was on planet.

Michelle sat down in her black tights ready to perform just as the bell rang. "Well nice to see you made it today Michelle, I assume you are ready to perform?" Her instructor asked. Michelle nodded. "Well then, warm-up a bit, set up your disk and prepare to dance." Her instructor stated. Michelle walked over to the barrel and started stretching.

Krahazik shadow shifted to a shadow under a bench in Michelle's class just in time to watch the dance. He would be introduced as a new student in her next class.

Michelle stood in the middle of the dance floor in her opening pose, she nodded to the person at the player and they started the music. Michelle moved perfectly to the sweet melody, her body seeming to flow to the rhythm and move as if on air. Her spins and leaps were perfect, some people that were heading for their classes or just walking the halls crowded windows to watch.

Hotaru ran after Mina. "Mina! Wait!"

"Darien, are you ok?" Rei looks at him. Darien just sits there.

"Uh Rei I don't think he can hear us anymore right now" Amy says standing up.

"Rei you know what's been bothering me, is that we haven't seen Luna or Artemis for weeks you know?" Amy says trying to break the ice in the room.

Mina sat in one of the Bathroom stalls crying about what she had done, and how she would probably loose her friendship with Serena.

Hotaru ran into Mina's school and knocked on the door. "Mina, it's Hotaru."

The cell phone rings. "Uh oh!" Rei looks at Darien's cell.

Amy grabs the cell and answers it. "Uh hello?" Darien still sits there.

"Amy? I thought I called Darien's phone?" Serena was confused.

"You did, uh this is his phone its at my place. Darien came by to see how Mina was doing. He was on the phone when he got here then he saw the chocolate cookies." Amy chuckles a bit.

Amara walked down the street. It's been awhile since she's last been here. Seeing Hotaru walking out of Mina's school, she waved. "Aren't you a little young for this type of school, Hotaru?"

Hotaru smiled. "Hey Amara! Long time no see. I was just checking up on Mina after..." she paused.

"Oh." Serena says softly "Umm can I talk to him?"

Hotaru motioned for Amara to follow her and they went to Amy's. She knocked and waited be let in. Amara tried to find out what Hotaru was saying before she cut off. She knew not to bring it up again or she'd change the subject.

"I wish Krahazik was here to see this performance." Michelle thought as she danced, she was coming up to the part where she had taken off last time. Michelle ran forward leapt into the air doing the splits mid-air then landed on one foot spinning with her arms wide, she pulled them in and spun even faster before leaping into the air once more and doing the same, but something happened that Michelle did not intend. It was almost the end of her piece when she went in for the last jump to go into her end pose her toes crumpled when she laded on her right foot, a horrible 'crack' filled the room as Michelle fell to the ground clutching her ankle.

"My god! I'm coming over now." Lita hung up the phone and dashed to the door, grabbing her keys along the way. After locking her door, she bolted for Amy's apartment.

"Uh..." Rei waves at Amy. "No...no way... hang up.." Rei whispers.

"Darien, Serena wants to talk to you." Amy looks at Darien.

"Ok" He says stately.

Once the phone is passed to Darien Serena said, "Hey you want to meet somewhere for lunch?"

"UH!... Lita was on speaker phone the whole time?" Amy starts to sweat.

"Oh no" Rei says with dread in her voice.

Hotaru opens the door slightly. "Amy, can I come back in? I have Amara with me!"

Amara called, "Hey guys! Please let us in!"

"Uh...Sure..." Darien says into the cell in a plain voice.

"Uh sure" Amy says hanging up the phone. Darien just sits there with his cell.

"AMARA!" Rei runs over opens the door and hugs both of you.

Amara laughs. "Hey Rei," she says to the greeting. "Thanks Amy."

Hotaru struggles in Rei's grip. "You've already seen me today... can you let me go?"

"Oh sorry." Rei lets the two go and sits back down at the table, then stuffs her face.

"Amara when did you get back in town?" Amy says, at least she thinks Amara was out of town. Darien still just sits there.

"Today...and what's up with Darien?" Amara replies.

"Mina...kinda...well...kissed him..." Hotaru explained.

"Hotaru!" Amy looks at her.

"Well she was bound to find out eventually." Rei replies eating another cookie. Darien looks around.

"Rei's right, Amy," Hotaru responds.

"She did WHAT? Aren't Serena and Darien still together?" Amara exclaims.

"Together? He just proposed a week ago you missed a great breakfast" Rei says, then drink some milk.

"True very true." Amy says as she slumps down a bit.

Amara frowns and grabs a cookie. "Very wrong of Mina...what will Serena think? In the future they are married..." Hotaru grabbed a cookie also and sighed.

"I don't know. I feel bad for Mina, I didn't even know." Amy says, looking at Darien.

"I did." Rei bites down on a strawberry tart.

"What?..." Darien says like he's not all there.

"Darien?" Amy asks.

"He spoke!" Amara says, amused.

Hotaru stared at Rei. "You knew?"

Mina, feeling absolutely horrible about the whole thing decides to call Darien and try to explain... the phone rings but know one was answering finally she gets the Machine..."Hi Darien...Its Mina...I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY sorry about...well...what happened, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me even though I don't deserve it at all...If you don't want to see me anymore, that is completely fine with me because I completely-"

"THANK YOU FOR CALLING" The automated message announces the end of the recording period.

Mina sighed and slapped herself in the face. She cried all the way home.

"Yeah you should have seen her when they first met, before she knew about Serena and him...hic..." Rei says.

"Rei what are you drinking?" Amy looks at her.

"Ah...I" Darien puts his phone down and lays on the couch. After laying down he sighs.

Darien's cell beeps, he looks at it then turns his head again and sighs. "Rei, I thought you got some milk?" Amy still looks at her.

"I...hic...did...fwam the green cartoon." Rei wobbles a bit.

"That was the eggnog from my dad! He was coming over next week and sent it to me. Rei there's rum in that." Amy puts her hand on her head.

Mina ran up stairs and slammed the doors to her bedroom...She dropped her bag and sat on her bed. Mina didn't know what to do. She looked over at her bedside table. There stood the flowers that Darien had given the girls the night of Serena and Darien's Engagement. Her life was turning upside-down! "But why did I have to kiss him?" Mina thought to herself. She sobbed again.

The day progressed fairly uneventful. The girls hung out at Amy's place while Fina sold her jewelry. By the end of the day the whole city was buzzing about her jewelry.
