Chapter 4: Memories B:
Ami put the two pages together and began examining the boxes before she examined the numbers on the piano keys. She remembered the piano chord that Haruka had received and began thinking if it had anything to do with the numbers on the keys.
"Just a question, did any of you receive a strange message on your communicators that sounded like a piano chord?" She asked.
"Yes, I was about to ask the same question." Setsuna answered.
"Yeah, it came up as Venus so I answered it in a rush." Usagi replied.
"The same thing happened to me; except the symbol came up as Neptune's." Haruka said.
"That's three then, someone is bound to have the fourth one." Ami said.
Right as she said that, Mamoru's communicator began beeping.
"You really gotta stop doing that, Ami." Mako replied.
"I'm gonna answer it." Mamoru paused, "Hello?"
The sound of a piano chord came through the line before he hung up.
"Alright, tell me what they were and we can see where these numbers fit." Ami paused, "Setsuna?"
"The note I heard was Fa." She answered.
"Usagi?" Ami asked again.
Usagi spaced out and wasn't paying attention to the conversation.
"Princess!" Haruka yelled.
"What?" Usagi snapped out of it.
"What chord did you hear?" Ami asked, patiently.
"The note I heard was So." She answered.
"Haruka?"
"The note I heard was La." She replied.
"Mamoru?" Ami asked.
"I heard Ti." He answered.
Ami looked back at the keys. She began to figure out which keys were the chords they heard.
"Looks like Fa is a green eight." Ami announced.
"Alright, green eight." Mako repeated.
"So is a red four."
"Red four." Usagi kept saying to remind herself.
"La is an orange five."
"Orange five." Haruka began to write it on her palm so she wouldn't forget.
"And Ti is a blue one." Ami finished.
"Blue one." Mamoru said.
"So the order is 8451?" Mako asked.
"No, we have to put the numbers in the right colored boxes on the papers." Ami paused as Mamoru handed her a pen, "First we have blue."
"One." Mamoru answered.
"Alright." Ami wrote it down, "Orange?"
"Five." Answered Haruka.
"Red." Ami wrote the number down on the paper.
"Four." Usagi replied.
"Green." Ami said.
"Eight." Setsuna answered.
Ami finished writing the numbers down before she passed Mamoru his pen back.
"Now we should find where ever this code goes too." Ami said.
"There's a safe behind the door inside the kitchen." Mamoru paused, "Usagi and I found it on after we ran into Rei's group."
"Alright, let's go there now." Rei said as the group started to head out.
Usagi stopped as the door slowly shuts behind Haruka. She began to giggle a little to herself as she looked at the black grand piano. She sighed and stopped laughing. She then turned her attention to the door.
"They solved it, after all . . ." She began, "I thought I'd done everything right, but I guess it was no use. I knew I shouldn't have given them a hint."
She took a step back, placing her hand on her brooch.
"No, never mind that . . . I'm not making a mistake am I? I-I'm sure I'm doing the right thing." She pauses, "I'm not gonna regret this, right? Right."
She shook her head and her eyes widened.
"No, I'm not making a mistake . . . I'm not making a mistake at all!" She paused, thinking of her friends, "I wonder if Rei will get mad at me . . . I know Mamo will though. He wouldn't want to be my prince anymore!"
She sighed and looked at the door.
"We're almost there."
