Chapter 9 – The Twins
As Usagi was on her way back home from school, she had a splitting headache from the weekend she had before. And the day she had with miss H. wasn't as good. Since she had a rough weekend with Berylia, she arrived late for class, so her teacher made an example of her tardiness. She was forced to stand in the hallway the entire class. Then, she had to stay after school for detention. The first time in her life and she hated it. She thaught that her day just couldn't get any worst. Suddenly, two girls came up to her, they were almost identical.
« Hey there pinky! We've come a long way to find someone, maybe you know her. Her name is ChibiUsa. Could you help us? » as the blue haired one asked her.
« I'm ChibiUsa, but it's Usagi now! Who are you? » as she thaught she was seeing double.
« I'm glad you asked… We're your older twin siblings… I'm Ayame and this is my twin sister Celeste. »
« WHAAAAATTTT? » Usagi started to be irritated. She wondered what was going on. « Who are your parents if you say you are related to me? »
« Well, our mother is the same as yours, Neo Queen Serenity you dummy. And our dad is the coolest in the entire Galaxy. Seiya also known as Sailor Star Fighter. He sent us here to know our baby sister. Cool huh? »
« Do you really expect me to believe you? My mother would never be unfaithful to my dad, she loves him too much for that… (doesn't know about the relationship between her mom and Seiya) »
« You'll that I'm not lying once we get to the Crystal Palace. Anyways, truth is the golden rule on my planet. Except for my brother, he excels in the matter. He's a real playboy. Just like my dad with mom… »
As they continued their conversation to the palace, Ayame asked Usagi if she had a boyfriend. But all she could answer was, that it was complicated.
« So he hasn't confessed to you yet, as he? Men are all the same. On Kinmoku, there's guy that I like, but I'm gonna let him make the first move… still waiting actually. »
« Are you talking about Kinji? That guy is so shy when it comes to you that you might wait forever. » as Celeste cuts in to their conversation on men.
« You shouldn't talk Celeste. Your taste in men are strange. You're the simplest minded girl I know and you go for the badboy types. »
« Does not… » as the girls started to argu.
« What about you Usagi, how's your guy, what is he like? » as Ayame stops bickering and acts like the mature sister.
Usagi starts to say that he's the well dress kind of guy. The kind of guy that would ride a white horse to come save you. And finds it cute the way he smile when he's too shy to ask a girl out. Celeste finds it a bit gross, since it's the complete opposite of her perfect man and Ayame just goes… « awww » As the girls gets through the main door of the Crystal Palace, Usagi notices that the guards didn't ask who Celeste and Ayame were. Then, they were greeted by the maids and were asked to put on their gown to meet with the Queen. As the girls entered the room where Serenity was, she quickly ran towards them and hugged them close to her. Usagi was still confused by what happened.
« Let me get this right, and PLEASE stop me if I'm wrong. Father had Berylia while he was under the influence of the head leader of the Negaverse. Then, mother had Ayame and Celeste with Star Fighter… How is that even possible, she'a girl? Then, as the turn of the 30th century began, mother and father had me… What the heck is going on here? »
« Our life got very complicated once you left un in the past… There was a time that your father left us to go study in America, but terrible things happened and since your father never replied to my emails, I thaught he had never wanted to be with me. So I lost myself in tears every night. But he… He was there. Seiya was there to confort my sorrows, to make the pain a little less painful. »
Then she thaught of that sentence she could never forget. It was like if it was burnt into her soul forever. « Aren't I good enough? » He was ready to wipe away her tears. To love her unlike any man could before. She thaught that Mamoru would be with her forever, but he was gone and didn't answer any of her messages. But the way that Seiya looked into her eyes, it was like he was looking at her soul. Then, she remembered what Seiya said that led her to see that he truely loved her. « Please Usagi. Let me heal your broken heart. Let me fill the hole with all the love I have for you. Let me be a part of your soul… »
« Mother! » as Usagi snaps her back to reality
« What was that Usagi? » as Serenity shakes it off.
« How does father deal with all that? »
« He's adjusting, I guess. » as she remembers painfully how Seiya was bruised after Mamoru punched him when he figured it out. And how Mamoru got sucker punched back. Seiya wasn't the kind of guy to loose to any other man.
On the far edges of the Solar System, Pluto, Neptune and Uranus were in constant communication from their own Palaces. They knew that something was happening on the Earth and needed to go there. Pluto figured out that the enemy is closer to the Moon family than they think. But is afraid that her young friend won't be able to defeat it on her own. Uranus knew that they were needed and had to step out of the shadows once more. Neptune looks at Uranus and smiles as she says that they would once again be reunited to fight as a team to protect the Moon Legacy.
The next day, at lunch time, Usagi and Katrina were having a quiet time until Celeste and Ayame returned from their shopping spree. At first Katrina was wierded out. She thaught she was lookind at a twin of Usagi, but completely different. She asked who they were. She told her that they were her twin sisters from Kinmoku. And pointed out that Ayame was full of herself. Katrina wondered if Usagi was glad they were only for a visit and didn't stay for to long. Then, Usagi confirms with a huge yes.
« You always outdo yourself Ayame. » as Celeste puts down her single bag.
« Well, what can I say, last time I came, I didn't bring enough money. They have really nice style here compared to what we usually wear on Kinmoku. Kinji is so gonna flip when he sees me on my next assignment for the Queen. »
« Anyways Usagi, how old are your sisters? » asks Katrina before she takes her lunch back to return to class.
« If I heard right and I add the maths, I think something like 1150 yrs old. Which would equal to about 18 or 20 Earth years. »
The two girls were on their way back to class, when Usagi caught a glipse of someone that she thaught she'd never see again. She blinked twice, just to make sure she wasn't an illusion. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her and jumped into her friend's arms. Setsuna takes a look at Usagi and sees how much her little ChibiUsa had grown.
« I'm a real lady now, I'm no chibi anymore. It's just Usagi now. »
« Taking your mother's name, are you sure that's wise? »
« You don't have to worry about that, I'm nothing like my mother. Okay, maybe a little. »
Elsewhere, Berylia was looking through her magic crystal ball that let her see to the outside world. She refused to see Usagi happy when she swore to make her miserable. Then, she called for another of her generals. It was time for Tempest. The one who controls the underground winds and takes her powers from them. Berylia warned her about failures and to absolutely bring Sailor Moon back to her ALIVE.
« No worries my Queen, I will take care of these upstarts for you. Nobody can stand against my winds. »
Usagi was happy to see her most reliable friend back, but she wondered why she never came to see her since she was a kid. If she had knew that she could only see her in the past, she would have returned before. But Setsuna explained that her duties didn't permit her to return to the Earth. As the gilrs talked, a voice from the darkness was heard.
« Pathetic, you people make me sick. »
Usagi turned to see and ask who was there, but it was too late, the enemy had her by the throat. She knew she was in deep trouble. The enemy looked at her and said : « I'm supposed to bring you alive to my mistress, but to save her further troubles, I think I'll just kill you right here. » as she squeezed her more thightly. Usagi was about to loose consciousness when a female voice was hear from nearby.
« Not while I'm around… Serious Laser! » as many blue stars hits Tempest's hand to release Usagi's neck.
« Don't forget about me… » as Celeste dressed with similar color sheme of Super Sailor Moon came walking towards them.
Then the two sisters started to argue once more…
« Celeste, dad always told you to get here before the battle's over. »
« Mmmmppppffffff…. What do you care, you're always running in the fight before me? »
« Well you should run faster then. »
« Are you crazy, not in these shoes. »
« Well, why not change your shoes? And stop whinning… »
« I'm not whinning… »
Usagi was realy starting to wonder where they got their personality from. It was a no brainer. That ended her day on a depressing note.
