"Well this is an unfortunate circumstance. We disobey Trista, blow our cover and get punched by our Prince." Zoisite started.
Soon after the confrontation in the wave pool, the scouts left following Darien. The generals returned to their table to collect their shirts and towels. The were embarrassed but also a little pleased. To be able to defend their girls and be near them was exactly what they wanted. They were certainly not expecting Prince Endymion's reaction.
"Don't forget the flop flippers." Kunzite reminded.
"Flip floppers." Jadeite said rolling his eyes.
"You both wrong. They are called flip flops." Zoisite sighed. They don't even try to learn about this time and its cultures.
The security was refusing to leave their side until they had exited the building. Everyone within 100 yards was watching the generals, so under the heated gazes of the other visitors, the boys quickly grabbed their belongings and ran out the doors.
"Well, who is up for cold cream?" Nephrite asked, attempting a poor joke to lighten the mood as they slowly walked away from the dome.
"It is ice cream and no. I want to go find the girls and explain what is going on. I can't let Amy get away from me without giving her an explanation. She will never forgive me if I don't." Zoisite shot back.
"There they are ahead of us. Lets go catch up before we get into the resort. If we make a scene I would rather it be outside. If Raye wants to roast my butt at least she won't cause property damage."
Realizing Jadeite was right they guys finished putting their shirts on and ran to catch up to the girls.
"Don't look now, but here they come." Mina quietly observed. Sometime between getting in the pool and having the generals showed up, Mina had used her powers to find her soulmates. At first, she was thrilled to see the soul mates were so close. But after she realized who they were, she was devastated.
Kunzite was handsome. Okay, that really didn't do it justice. He was gorgeous. Silver-white hair flowing just past his ears.
Blue-green eyes that reminded Mina of the sea every time she saw them. His walk was confident and what was uncovered on his body revealed muscular arms and lean torso and legs. He was the epitome of rocker-god. It would be hard to tell he was so uptight and obsessed with his responsibilities by glancing at him. He looked like he belonged on the cover of every teen hearthrob magazine.
I can't believe this. I have barely seen the guy and I am already checking him out! The princess inside of me better shutup because I will not b e falling for him. He deceived us. He killed me. Oh my gosh he was such a good kisser… No! I will not think about how strong his arms feel or how my heart races when he looks at me. I have a responsibility and a 1,000 year old Earthen lit tryst will not deter me from protecting my princess!
Its not to say that she didn't love Kunzite. She always had loved him and always will. When she could not feel her soul mate bond here on Earth she was sad but relieved to know she would not have to face him again after the fall of the moon. But when she felt the presence of the soulbonds again she had hoped that fate had decided to give her another chance at love. Mina had no way of knowing that she was eternally bound to one man and therefore her soulmate would only ever be Kunzite. Being the goddess of Love does not mean you get a rulebook with your powers, after all.
Hearing Mina's announcement sent Lita through all kinds of emotional upheaval. She was shocked to see his face in the pool. Nephrite was supposed to be dead and here he was charging into the pool to protect their honor? Lita was very smug when she remembered the way Darien slugged his own generals. She was even happier with their stunned faces as they quickly fled the scene. Surely it was only curiosity that led her to look back as they were headed up the steps to see if they were following. Lita didn't really want to see if he was as hot as she remembered him.
Dark, short wavy hair. Green eyes. Cute butt. Yes I looked, darn it! Yup, finally found my old boyfriend, they guy I have spent every minute comparing everyone else to. Here he is and I don't know what I should feel. I feel angry, excited, confused and attracted all ab out some guy I can never trust! How lucky am I? The perfect looking guy comes along and everything inside is wrong wrong wrong. It is like a beautiful cake but when you take a bite it is garb age. Disgusting! I am disgusting. Why can't I stop thinking ab out kissing him?... As soon as I get a chance I will make him pay for ruining my
chances at love. How can I have a relationship when I compare every guy to my 1000 year old was-dead-now-alive ex-boyfriend?
Lita continues to race along the paths with the scouts and Darien hoping to put some distance between them and the generals before a confrontation occurs.
"If they are going to follow us, then lets get away from the public so we can transform and battle the generals on our terms." Darien had immediately assumed authority after recognizing Jadeite and was quick to avoid casualties to any innocent bystanders. And here I was hoping that this trip would take Serena's mind off of battling and give her some hope and now we are forced right back into the battlefield. Is there no justice?
The group was originally headed back to the resort but seeing their nemesis following their trail, they headed south into the woods to take cover from noisy bystanders with cameras. There was a good mile of canopy under the pine trees heading away from the resort and the beach dome. Looking for a safe spot to have their little 'chat', the team raced through the underbrush.
After going a several hundred yards into the woods, the generals were closing in on their pursuit ready overtaking the scouts.
With a flick of his wrist, Darien transformed mid stride and turned to signal to the girls to also transform.
"Mars Power MakeUp"
"Jupiter Power MakeUp"
"Mercury Power MakeUp"
"Venus Power MakeUp"
"Moon Prism Power MakeUp"
I a flurry of ribbons and colors the girls all transformed from their swimsuits and kimonos to their fukus.
"Halt!" Tuxedo Mask commanded.
So many things were going through Raye's mind. Dammit he is hot. Perfect looking b each boy with short blond curls and ocean blue eyes. I can't wait to fry his gorgeously tanned body. I want so b ad to kick him square in his perfect butt. I can't believe that perfect face of his looks like he wants me. As if I would ever want him?! No way! I am Raye, Sailor Mars and I don't need any man, no matter just how perfect he is. I can't wait to fry his backside and watch him run for cover. HA! That will show Jadeite. Then maybe he can give that fawning look to someone else.
"What are you doing here you bastard?"
"Mars!? That is uncalled for!" Sailor Moon chastised.
"Depends on your perspective Sailor Moon. I think it is a little too nice for what these 'generals' should be called." Mars shot back at her leader.
"Raye we didn't come here to fight. We came to talk to you."
"Really Jadeite, you sure could have fooled me."
"Hello Amy." A small smile playing around Zoisite's face.
What! He talked to me. What is he thinking? Sure he looks amazing. Just like I remember him. Grant it, his hair is shorter but still that same blond-brown wavy hair. I wonder if it still feels as soft as it did so long ago? Oh no. I can't believe I just thought that. Don't look into his eyes. Don't look in his direction. Please D\don't look…
"You look good Amy." Zoisite sighed softly.
Oh no. I looked! His eyes are so dreamy. Hold it together Sailor Mercury. He betrayed and killed us. I must stay strong.
"Zoisite." Amy answered.
"You have no right to talk to these women and you should be dead. Your betrayal will be punished! What are you doing here?" Leveling his cane at the generals, Tuxedo Mask was ready for attack.
Seconds dragged on to minutes as no one moved. Each side was sizing up the other looking for an opportunity. Sure, team Moon was ready for an attack whilst team general was was eyeballing the beautiful women. But there was enough time for Amy to pull herself together and analyze the situation.
"Stop! Wait a minute." Mercury called. "Don't you see, these are the generals, but they knew our civilian forms and names.
That has never happened. And they are all here at the same time." Everyone turned to Amy as she adopted her lecture voice to explain the problem. "And Jadeite stopped that jerk from hurting you Mars. He was not attacking you, rather it looked like he was defending you." Amy reasoned.
Darien and Raye immediately scoffed but Serena was instantly ready to listen if it kept her from fighting. "I think we
should listen…"
"What? I can't believe you Sailor Moon, they have tried over and over to kill you and us. How can you be so trusting?" Lita was very angry at her leader's declaration.
"I don't trust them but they are not powered up, they are in swim trunks. I do trust Sailor Mercury."
"That does not mean we let our guard down. They caused that fight and now we are exposed to attack. It that doesn't convince you this is a trap then what will Sailor Moon?" Raye was itching for some major butt-kicking.
"That does not mean that we should jump to conclusions."
"Exactly Mercury. I am still the leader of the scouts and I order you to stand down until I say otherwise."
"Sailor Moon you are being unreasonable. We must take this situation in hand before any of us end up dead." Tuxedo Mask answered. He was clearly ready to pass judgement and so therefore, ready to enact any authority he could.
"I am reasonable. Scouts, hold your positions." Walking forward, Sailor Moon addressed Kunzite. "I know during the Silver Millennium you were the leader of the generals. Am I right to assume you hold that position now?"
"Yes, your highness."
Audible gasps were heard throughout the forest as the scouts and Tuxedo Mask were taken unawares at having their enemies know their princess's identity. It had take a year for the scouts to piece that puzzle together.
"Very well, then I ask you Kunzite, what is it that you want and why are you here?"
After chasing the girls through the woods, the guys were actually panting. Being among the living for only 3 weeks was not enough time to train up to form to be able to keep up with the scouts. They were fast enough to keep them in sight and when the transformed and stopped to face them, the generals were happy to stand before the menacing glares if only for a break from the run.
"Thank you Amy. Thank you Princess Serenity. If you will give us a few minutes of your time, we can explain. Then if you don't trust us, you can kill us." Kunzite responded to the scouts on behalf of his brothers. The generals all nodded their heads agreeing to Kunzite's arrangement. Dropping on the knees in sign of fealty and submission, the generals continued to drink in the sight of their beloveds with their prince and princess.
"Wow, this is just like your vision Mars." Mina whispered. Raye shook her head in response.
"We have only been here 3 weeks. Here, as in on Earth. When we were brought back, we were in Tokyo, each of us in different parts of the town and we were lead to the Shiba Park where we were given information concerning our future and three rules to follow."
"Yes and thanks to Jadeite not being able to control his temper or his hormones, we have disobeyed our orders and blown our cover." Zoisite glared at Jadeite.
"What do you mean you have only been here 3 weeks?" Lita asked first.
"Well sparky, the last thing we remember is the night we spent with our princesses on the moon in the Serenity gardens. Then we sort of 'woke up' to the 20th century in the middle of Tokyo." Nephrite answered.
"Watch your mouth Nephrite, I still command authority over you and the generals. I can and will kill you if I deem it necessary." Tuxedo masked was practically growling. Darien was usually known for his patience, unless Serena was involved. It was unnerving to hear him so upset.
Lita, on the other hand, blushed and bristled at the same time being called her 'pet' name by Nephrite.
"One thing I know for certain is that Jadeite has called Mars "fire angel' and now Nephrite has called Jupiter 'sparky'. That hasn't happened since the Silver Millennium, so I assume you have your memories?" Mercury asked.
"Sort of." Nephrite mumbled.
"I think I can answer that question a little better for you Amy."
Pluto was aware of the spectacle in the dome. She had been waiting for them to come to their clearing in the woods but was rather enjoying the interchange before her. Not wanting things to become more complicated, she felt it was time to make her dramatic entrance.
"Trista!" "Sailor Pluto!" All the girls were exclaiming as they saw their friend emerge from the shadows of the forest.
Immediately the atmosphere changed for the company. On one side, there was shock and relief, while on the other was dismay and frustration.
"Hello Trista."
"Hello my prince." Trista responded and bowed before her liege.
Sailor Moon ran to her friend and threw her arms about her neck giving her a hug while Trista wrapped her free hand around the scout's waist, her other hand preoccupied holding her scepter.
Instantaneously, as she hugged her friend, Sailor Moon cried and laughed, so delighted she was to see Trista again.
She whipped away her tears and stood back to see the mysterious scout, happy to see Trista smiling in return.
"I thought after after Mistress 9 was defeated, that you were …. well, after the explosion, we thought you were…." Serena couldn't bring herself to think it or even say it.
"Dead? I was in fact gone from this world and this body. However I am bound for all eternity to guard space and time so my spirit was still there to watch over the time stream. It was you Serena that brought me back. The same as these men before you, I was given a second chance to live. Its thanks to you, my princess, that I can live and serve you once more."
Trista bowed her head in respect as Serena's laugh danced off the trees. Her happiness shared with all the scouts.
"If you were gone Sailor Pluto, then why didn't we see you sooner? Where have you been?" Amy asked.
"I have been waiting until this moment to reveal myself. I have been living with Hotaru, Michelle and Amara. We have been living in southern California where Amara races in the nascar circuit."
"Why couldn't you come see me sooner? I would have loved to know you were alive and well Trista." Sailor Moon pouted.
"I had my duty to uphold, I knew these four had returned as well. After I became alive again I checked the time stream for anomalies and discovered an immediate change in the flow. It does not change Crystal Tokyo but it does change when it is created. I came upon these four in Tokyo with express orders to not contact or interfere or make themselves known to you all hoping to avoid any damaging tangets that could be created."
"So what of our punishment Pluto? I couldn't keep away from Raye so now what? Going to lock me in prison and throw away the key?" Jadeite was quickly losing control as the considered the possibility of living without his fire angel in his life.
Smiling more to herself than anyone else, Trista replied, "Yes you did disobey me, you all did (looking at the generals) and you will receive your punishments."
Lita and Raye looked positively gleeful, where as Amy looked sick and Mina was oddly demure.
"Well lets have it then." Nephrite shot back. Never having been given the permission to rise by their prince, the generals still knelt before the group.
Laughing, Trista prepared to answer while she received odd looks from everyone in the clearing.
"Excuse me, sometimes knowing the future is difficult. I find it humorous to actually be apart of all of this when I have already seen it play out." She contained her mirth so she could continue speaking.
"I give you generals two choices. You will have to agree and decided on one punishment or the other. You cannot change your mind once you are committed, therefore you will have to see it through so I advice you consider before you respond."
The generals exchanged glances as they knew a moment was upon them that would affect their futures forever.
"Seeing as Trista has this under control, rise generals and accept your fate on your feet with honor and dignity. Scouts, I think it is safe to detransform." Darien finished talking while his tuxedo faded to his board shorts and shirt.
"Thank you for your trust Darien. Now then gentlemen. Option number one, I control time, a great cost to myself when I enact my powers. However I can perform a small trick as it were. As your punishment you can be silenced for 1 month. I will freeze time on your vocal cords and inhibit your communications so you will effectively learn the lesson of 'thinking before you act'." The generals visibly winced and each grabbed his throat thinking about losing their voices.
"Or. Option number two is this. You will each be subjected to a scout in service for 1 month. You will be her, well, 'slave' sounds good. Or maybe you prefer 'man servant'. Since you have disrupted their lives, you will pay back the girls by following their every command. But before you choose I must warn you, if you disobey or not comply with option number two, well then I turn you over to Michelle and Amara. Between the three of us, I am sure we can properly chasten your hearts into submission." An evil gleam was in Trista's eye as she watched the proud generals share uneasy looks with
one another.
"I can tell you my decision. I would rather serve Raye with everything I am and all that I have than to lose the ability to tell her how much I love her and how beautiful she is." Jadeite said. His fire angel may not be looking at him, but that didn't stop the enjoyment of seeing her blush and stiffen in her posture at his remark.
"Wait, who are you punishing Trista? Why do we get stuck with these guys? How can we trust them and allow them to 'serve' us for 1 month? They can still kill us or attack us for some evil plot." Lita shot back hotly.
"You would be correct if these were not the generals you remember fighting here on Earth. I will get to that shortly, I must first have their answer before I explain my reasons for trusting them with you all."
"I agree with Jadeite. I will serve my Lita before my tongue is taken from me." Nephrite answered. Lita opened her mouth to say something but softly shook her head and refused to speak.
"If you take my voice, then take also my heart for I cannot be near Amy and not speak with her. I will gladly do anything my ice princess demands." Zoisite replied, and to his much satisfaction, witnessed the blush that crept across her neck and face as she ducked her head.
"Kunzite?"
"I go the way of my men. I will serve Mina as the princess she is." Mina was still maintaining her stoic demeanor, but at the mention of being called 'princess' her eyes flashed and for the briefest of moments were held by Kunzite's.
Not a single glance or blush was lost on Darien. He was shocked at the effect his generals were having on the scouts. It was hard for Darien to think of these men as pawns of Beryl as he listened to them bear their hearts for the scouts to hear.
"So be it. You are bound by your word and I expect you all to honor as witnessed by Prince Endymion and Princess Serenity."
"Now can you tell us why we should trust these bastards into our lives and homes?" Lita shot at Trista.
Serena was actually quite pleased to see the generals. In her heart she know how much the scouts loved the generals on the moon, just the same as her love for Darien. But she was also aware that Darien had been used against her by Beryl the same as these me. Therefore in her heart she felt that these men and ladies might be able to reconcile and find the same happiness as she had. Serena was very pleased indeed. It may have been difficult to trust Darien again but she could never deny her love for him.
"Now then, I have a little story to tell you all. In addition to the general populace of Tokyo, the lives of the Scouts and Tuxedo Mask, 5 other persons were also returned to their body having been released when Chaos lost her powers. The generals and myself."
"Why were those souls not reborn sooner?" Amy asked, promptly interrupting Trista. She was very curious about learning new things and given that Pluto was here, she hoped to get some answers.
"I have my suspicions but I cannot truly explain it to you. I can only give you my impression of what happen."
"Where were they being held and why?" Serena asked. Even Serena felt a hunger for knowledge, wanting to understand her powers within the crystal.
"I believe in her icy fortress here on Earth. And as for the other question… Power. Power is the number one most sought after asset. Beryl knew it, and so did Chaos. The generals were gifted with powers the same as the scouts. That is one reason why she chose them. When Beryl held the generals under her command she performed a terrible crime against nature to turn the once loyal band of brothers against their loved ones. She fractured their souls making it impossible for the generals to truly separate from this world. The generals were the unfortunate victims of this act.
"In doing this heinous crime, the generals became her puppets who retained just enough humanity to perform her commands. Puppets without humanity will never have loyalty, they obey those who pulls the strings. But if you can twist and darken a heart you can initiate a bond of loyalty between the master and the slave. What is left is a fractured soul that cannot be made whole without extreme power and love. Tied to the scouts and to Beryl, the generals souls were lost. Neither truly alive or dead, the generals were left waiting to be returned to their bodies. When Serena made her wish on the silver crystal, a wish of true and pure love, it sparked a reaction that allowed the souls to be channeled back to Earth into their bodies."
"She had people loyal to her already. Why us, why go through all that effort when she already had an army of Youma and plenty of dark souls to carry out her orders?" Kunzite was visibly shaken by this information concerning himself and his brothers. What is left of me if I have a fractured soul?
"They were targeted because of the loyalty and oaths sworn to protect Prince Endymion and his love. Also, it was evident that their hearts were committed to their own princesses and Beryl took malicious joy in doing as much harm as possible before claiming power and authority for herself. Therefore, for Queen Beryl's plan of revenge to work, she needed tools that could distract and cause the most harm to her intended victims. She needed the lovers of the Scouts, the generals, guardians of Endymion's life, to be her loyal henchmen. She knew that because of the love the scouts had for the generals, they would hesitate long enough to see their lovers kill the scouts."
Shock and hurt was clearly etched on each face while they were listening to the history of their former lives. Raye however was soon furious, quickly followed by Nephrite and Lita. Before long everyone was talking loudly about how they were used by Beryl.
Recovering first Zoisite asked, "Then what do we do to be made whole. It sounds as if we were to die now we would go back to that black abyss until someone brought us back again. Can we never be free and have our souls aligned once more?"
"Yes, but if you are to receive this chance at a new life then you must first complete your task for the next month. I will not direct you otherwise. You brought this on yourself when you showed your arrogance and disobedience at not maintaining our bargin. Now I have to clean up the anomaly in the timeline because of the four of you." Trista replied. Each general winced listening to the Sailor Scout of Time.
"When does this month start?" Mina asked quietly. It was the first time Mina had spoken since the had first entered the pine forest. Kunzite was riveted to her face as she looked to Trista.
"When we go home in three days. You have 2 more nights at the hotel correct?" Everyone shook their heads in affirmation. "Good, then when you get home, you will have 30 days to prove your loyalty to your word and to these scouts. Afterwards we will discuss how to rejoin your souls."
It had taken so long to have their answers sorted out and trust initiated between the two groups that the sun was well on its way to settling and many stomachs were rumbling.
"It seems you have no further need of my assistance today. My Prince, my Princess, if you have need of me you only need call." Smiling at each of the scouts and giving the generals one last look down her nose, Trista took her leave, disappearing into the shadows of the forest.
"I don't know about everyone else, but I am starved. Lets get back to the hotel and then we can worry about our little arrangement after we have cleaned up and put food in our stomachs." Serena remarked happily.
"Dumpling head, always thinking with her stomach." Raye grumbled, prompting the entire group to laugh.
Everyone filed out behind Darien and Serena as they led the way, much slower, back to the resort.
"Since we are to serve our ladies, how about we treat you all to supper tonight? There is a delicious looking italian restaurant at the resort and I would love to have a glass of wine right about now." Zoisite began as the was hoping to encourage good rapport between both companies.
"Italian does sound good. What do you say Sere, up for some pasta?" Lita asked. It was easier to answer Zoisite than it was to answer Nephrite.
"Sure, we can all get cleaned up and put on our best. That place was listed as the fanciest restaurant. I would love to eat there, seeing as how the generals are treating us." Serena replied.
"Ugh, can't we just get this night over with?" Raye grumbled.
"Not a chance fire angle. I still have my tongue and I will be taking every opportunity to tell you how I've missed you and how beautiful you are." Jadeite purred in her ear as he caught up to walk beside her.
"Not if If cut it out you won't." Raye said as she spied him out of the corner of her eye.
"You may be a vixen, my pyro, but you will always be my vixen." He continued to purr in her ear so no one else could hear.
As they made their way through the forest each man had fallen into step with his love, much to the displeasure of the scouts. Lita was steadfastly ignoring Nephrite as he took every chance he could to brush against her arm or quickly slide his arm around her waist to steer her around a tree. He was considering himself successful until Lita finally had enough and elbowed him hard enough to stop him in his tracks. Amy and Zoisite both laughed as the walked around the winded Nephrite.
Why doesn't Mina look at me? She won't even speak. This is not the behavior I am used to from my love goddess. She has always been strong and b rave. She is acting like someone died. I must get to the bottom of this. I must see her smile again. Kunzite and Mina were equally lost in their own thoughts as the walked side by side. I hate this. I love him and he is my soul mate. But how can I ever trust him again. All I want is for Kunzite to hold me. I hate myself for being so weak. I will be strong and I will live without him. When this is over, he is moving!
Coming back to the hotel, the group climbed into the elevator and the the dismay of the girls, they discovered they were all on the same floor. After everyone went to their rooms, which were right next to each other, they all agreed to change and be ready quickly to make their way down for dinner.
An hour and a half later, the party was ready to descend in the elevator. It does take the ladies much longer to be ready then the men. Unfortunately, that left the men to stand around with their hands in the pockets, each lost in their own thoughts on how lucky they were to still be standing after their encounter with Trista.
Supper was a simple and elegant affair. It took the staff of the restaurant a few minutes to combine tables, but afterwards the party was happily seated. The boys on one side facing the girls on the other. It looked like a stand-off in a western movie.
Despite the strain in the conversation from the awkwardness of the situation, dinner was pleasant, the food excellent and the wine flowing into the cups of the men. The women were all underage but still enjoyed their various virgin pina colada and strawberry daiquiris. Why not enjoy a treat on the guys bill?
Before too long, the group headed back upstairs and left to their rooms. After the long day, everyone was thankful for a long rest and the peace of their own bed.
The following couple of days passed in relative calm. It was a general rule that the boys would stay near the girls in the pool and the girls would not elicit the attentions of other male guest so as to not start another riot. The security was happy to allow their patrons a second chance after Kunzite slipped both men 10,000 yen.
A pattern was quickly established; breakfast followed by the beach, swimming, and finally a large meal in the early afternoon to the treat of the guys and then off to bed. No one really wanted to stray too far away seeing as everyone felt uncomfortable.
On the morning of the fourth day, everyone was relieved to pack their bags, grab a muffin and catch the shuttle back to the airport. Talking about anything of consequence had become taboo after Tristsa had left, so everyone was hoping for the security of home and wishing it would come quicker.
The group boarded the plane and settled in to fly back to Tokyo. The generals were highly amused, much to the chagrin of Mina, when a Sailor V movie came on again. Kunzite was seen glancing many times in her direction as she stared out the windows trying to ignore the lines she still had memorized.
After landing in Tokyo, the generals offered their rides to the group for a free trip home. Not wanting to purposefully be rude, everyone accepted and each general was pleased when his lady joined him in his vehicle. Zoisite having driven his truck shared the cab with the prince and princess which instantly allowed Amy to relax in the front seat.
It was decided that the best place for everyone to drive to was the Cherry Hill Temple so the guys wouldn't be seen driving the girls home in their vehicles and upsetting the parents. Everyone unloaded their luggage from the various sports cars and truck. Once everything was settled, Serena decided to 'take charge' again and allow some tension to ease.
"I think it is best that we all discuss the immediate future and make a plan on how to deal with the punishments for the generals. If no one objects, I think we should meet at Darien's tomorrow at lunch time. We can outline a general understanding between everyone and create some boundaries so no one will feel any added pressure."
"That is an excellent idea your highness. We will be there at noon. Would you like us to pick something up?" Kunzite replied.
"No, I will cook. If it is alright with you Darien?" Lita asked.
"Sounds good. Lunch at my place at noon, with Lita cooking. This will give us the night to sort out how this is going to work for everyone."
"Great. See you then!" Serena grabbed her rolling suitcase and followed Darien down the steps to the street leading to the park so she could get home.
With no further conversation needed, the rest of the ladies and the generals politely waved and said goodbye and walked home or to their vehicle.
Wonderful, first I can't stop looking at him. Now I can't stop thinking ab out him. And tomorrow I have get to figure out how this whole 'general punishment' thing isn't some twisted joke of Trista's. Seriously! Who does she think she is kidding giving them that second option? Now I am stuck with Jadeite for 30 days. I am spending every waking second to make a list to make his next 30 days a living hell. Maybe then he will get the picture and take a hike. I may have to suffer his company but I will not b e the one to give into his charms again. Raye stalked towards her private quarters after everyone
left the temple. She was at least satisfied that the temple was clean and Chad had completed his work. If she can train one dumb guy, why not two?
