Episode 204: The Sailor Starlights Are Back? Where Are They?
Previously On Sailor Moon Shooting Starlights:
Yaten turns back towards Seiya and said, "So stop crying and whining and acting like a big ass pussy, Seiya, and get the hell over her already. She doesn't want you and she'll never will for crying out loud, you dum-."
Minako said, "Something's wrong between Mamoru-san and Usagi-chan, but I don't know what."
Usagi nodded her head again, getting up and said as she forced a smile onto her face, "Ok, I'll be there to see you off with a smile. I promise I will."
Seiya punched the wall, turning back around to face Taiki and Yaten again and cried out angrily as she glared at them, "Goddamnit! Why won't you let me see her? Huh?"
Setsuna said, "And he could possibly cause the demise of the future as we know it."
"Do we REALLY have to do this, Taiki?"
A very annoyed Taiki sighed, looking at Yaten as Yaten looked disgustedly at the clothes she had handed to her to try on and said, "Yes we do have to do this, Yaten. So stop complaining and just try those on."
Taiki sighed again, rubbing her temple as she turned away from Yaten to pick out a couple of skirts for herself.
Seiya walked out of the dressing room, smiling and said, "Yeah, Shrimp. Stop complaining since YOU did agree to coming back here."
Yaten glared at Seiya as Seiya started to strike random poses in front of the mirror, scoffing and said, "But at least I'm not looking like Haruka."
Seiya rolled her eyes, continuing to strike poses and said, "You're just jealous that I look hotter than you as always."
Yaten snorts and said, "Oh please, my boobs look better than yours, Seiya, since you look like a washed up rat with yours. Mine are big, not saggy, and bouncy."
Seiya rolled her eyes again as Yaten started to bounce her boobs, snorting as she flashes Yaten her cleavage and said, "But unlike yours, Shrimp, mine are bigger, nicer, softer, and rounder than yours. Also, you look like a Barbie doll compared to my hot bod."
Yaten starts to fume as Seiya does a belly dance in front of the mirror with her arms behind her head, huffing as she flipped her hair over her shoulder and said, "Whatever, Seiya, I look hotter than you because you're built like a man!"
Seiya turned around to face Yaten and said, "That's 'cause I work out more than you do, Shrimp! You're just jealous that I'm sexier than you'll ever be, but don't worry you're still cute in your little mini skirt and little strappys."
Taiki sweatdropped with a sigh, holding a pile of blouses, skirts, dresses, pants, and shirts in her arms as she watched her two comrades bicker on about their looks and charms without noticing the few male workers in the store gawking at them, and said, "Would you two stop acting like children and just pick out your clothes already? We can't stay here all day long!"
Yaten and Seiya stopped their bickering, looking over at a even more annoyed Taiki and said in unison, "Sorry, Taiki. We will."
Seiya smirks, giving Yaten a nuggie before she walked back into the dressing room as Yaten picked out a couple of clothes of her own before disappearing into a dressing room also.
Taiki sighed again and said, "I swear that those two act more like kids instead of a 17-year-old and 18-year-old."
Taiki sighed one last time before disappearing into a dressing room also to try on some clothes.
Meanwhile, the Outer Senshi looked around the Three Lights's "old" apartment without finding any traces of any of the three idols being there at all.
Uranus punches the wall and cried out angrily, "Where in the hell are they?"
Neptune said, "Not a clue, but they probably have moved to somewhere away from this place since we did come here before."
Uranus said, "I don't think so since they just got back last night, so it's impossible to do exactly that, Neptune."
Pluto lowers her staff and said, "Neptune's probably right, Uranus, because they could've left here this morning since they surely would've known that we would've come after them for answers about why did they return all of a sudden."
Uranus turned around angrily towards Pluto and said, "But that's still not fucking possible since they were only on Earth for at least 4 fucking months last time we've seen them, Pluto!
Neptune laid a hand on Uranus's shoulder, detransforming and said, "But, Ruka, we just have to go by that for now because none of us know exactly where those three are at right now. So calm down, OK?"
Uranus sighed, detransforming and said, "Fine, Michi, but since we can't find them. We'll just have to-."
"Call a senshi meeting."
Haruka turned around to face Pluto, who was now Setsuna Meioh again, and said, "And why in the hell would we want to do that? Our purpose is to protect the system ourselves, NOT to involve Koneko-chan and the others!"
Setsuna said, "But we need help finding them and they did hang out with them a lot, remember? So if we were to ask anyone where would they be, it'll be Serenity-hime and the others, right?"
Michiru said, "You do have a point right there, Setsuna-san. What do you think, Ruka?"
Michiru and Setsuna turned around to face Haruka, watching as she slowly calmed down before she said with a chuckle, "Now I see your point. The faster we go, the faster we'll be able to get rid of those three."
Michiru nodded her head, looking worriedly at Haruka and Setsuna and said, "Hai, exactly. But surely they shouldn't freak out too much about the news since it's been a whole entire year since we've last seen those three."
Haruka wraps her arm around Michiru's waist, walking out of the door and said, "Beats me as long as we're protecting Koneko-chan and this system, so let's go."
2 hours later, Rei rolled her eyes, tapping her fingers impatiently on top of the table and said, "Usagi-chan's late as usual. When is she going to grow up and get out of this happen? Hell! She'd probably be even late to her own wedding and funeral!"
Luna, Artemis, Ami, Makoto, and Minako sweatdropped while Mamoru, Haruka, Setsuna, Michiru, and Hotaru just calmly waited for Usagi's arrival.
Ami said, "Now, Rei-chan, Usagi-chan has matured a lot since the battle with Galaxia, so don't say that because she probably will walk through that door and the meeting can start."
Rei sighed, crossing her arms as Usagi busted through the door while crying out, "Sorry that I'm late! I was trying to get here earlier, but I got lost and-."
Ami smiled at Usagi and said, "It's okay, Usagi-chan. Now sit down so that we can start this meeting, OK?"
Usagi sighed in relief, sitting next to Mamoru with a sheepish smile on her face as the Inner Senshi, Luna, and Artemis sighed, sweatdropping at their princess's childlike behavior as she started to eat a couple of Makoto's cookies before turning their attention over to the Outer Senshi.
Setsuna said, "Anyway, we've got news for you guys that may shock you guys."
Makoto looked worriedly at the Outer Senshi and said, "Is there a new enemy or something outside of the system that is heading this way?"
Hotaru shakes her head and said, "No, it's just that the Sailor Starlights are back."
Then 15 minutes later, after no response or a reaction from Luna, Artemis, the Inner Senshi, nor Usagi, who surprisingly had stopped eating, the silence was broken by a loud outburst from all seven of them as they cried out, "They're back?"
Mamoru frowned, looking at the Outer Senshi in confusion and said, "For what reason exactly? I thought that they were rebuilding their planet."
Haruka shrugged, crossing her arms and said, "Not a clue since they returned last night, but we went to go look for them today at their old condo..."
Michiru holds Haruka's hand and said, "But they weren't there and we don't have a clue exactly where they could possibly be at since it's impossible for them to move to somewhere outside of Juuban."
Minako said, "And you'd like for us to do what?"
Setsuna said, "To help us look for them since you guys were closer to those three than we were, so we must split up and see exactly where could they possibly be hiding out at now."
Haruka said, "Yeah, so Minako's with Makoto, Ami's with Rei, Setsuna with Hotaru, Michiru's with me, and Koneko-chan's with Mamoru-san."
Everyone nodded their head in agreement before getting up and left the shrine with their respective partners.
"So, Usako, how do you feel about Seiya-san being back?"
Usagi looked up at Mamoru in confusion as Mamoru looked down at her, breaking out of daze and said with a smile on her face, "Happy since it's been a year since we've last seen him, Taiki, and Yaten."
Mamoru said, "That's great. But did you noti-?"
Usagi pointed over at a club that Seiya took her to on their "date" and said, "I'll try looking there for them since it was their favorite place to hang out at during their free time. So I'll catch up to ya in a few, Mamo-chan."
Mamoru opened his mouth to protest, but Usagi was already gone and sighed, shoving his hands into his pockets as he walked away.
Usagi sighed as she walked pass a couple of drunk people and dancers, looking around for any signs of the Three Lights with no luck without noticing that a certain brunette was heading her way to get more drinks for her and her companions, until she ran right into her and started to stumble backwards, but was stopped by an arm that was wrapped around her waist.
"Oh my! Sorry, I didn't see you there. Are you okay?"
Usagi looked up at the mysterious woman that oddly sounded like Maker, azure blue locking with cyan blue and scowled at the familiarity of the woman from the wisdom and intelligence held within her eyes that she's only seen Taiki/Maker hold and said, "Tai-?"
"Would you come on already? It's my birthday for crying out loud!"
The woman sighed, helping Usagi onto her feet and said, "I'd better be going now since my sisters are losing it right now, so ja ne!"
Usagi reaches out to the woman, grabbing onto her wrist and said, "Matte! Do I know you from somewhere?"
The woman shakes her head, gently snatching her wrist from Usagi's grasp to brush a few strands of brown hair from her face and said, "No, you don't. But if you want to, you can just sit with my sisters while I go get the drinks, OK?"
Usagi opened her mouth to protest, but by the time she had tried to decline the offer, the woman had already dropped her into a booth with two other very attractive women and blushed sheepishly as the magneta-eyed woman with silver hair like Yaten looked her up and down, even though... if only she knew the truth behind the slightly taller woman's coolness about the situation as the woman started to panic mentally in alarm at the petite blonde sitting before her.
'Damn you, Taiki! For crying out loud, you just had to drag the airhead over here! We're supposed to be laying low! Now we're in some deep shit!'
But to Yaten's and Seiya's surprise, Usagi smiled nervously at the two women and said, "Konnichiwa. Are you three from around here?"
Seiya thought in surprise as she looked at her secret love 'She must not know that it's really us, huh? I'd better tell her.'
Seiya opened her mouth to tell Usagi that it's really her and that they're just in disguise, but groans in pain when Yaten kicked her right in the shin while answering Usagi's question, "No, we're not. We just moved here yesterday."
Usagi tipped her head to the side, looking at the silver-haired woman before her and said, "Really? How old are you guys?"
"18"
Usagi, Yaten, and Seiya turned their attention towards Taiki in surprise or relief, watching as she sat down next to Yaten.
Usagi smiled cheerfully and said, "That's how old I am! Are you guys going to go to Juuban High School?"
Taiki shakes her head, handing Yaten and Seiya their drinks and said, "No, but we might be going there soon."
Usagi said, "That'd be great! I can't wait to see you guys because it'd be great to become friends! But what are your names?"
Taiki said, "Okay, but let's restart from the beginning."
Taiki holds out a hand to Usagi, smiling politely at her and said, "Hello, my name is Aomori Akira and these two are my sisters, Shina and Hikari."
Usagi takes Akira's hand, shaking it with an even brighter smile on her face and said, "Hello, Akira-san, I'm Tsukino Usagi."
Taiki said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Usagi-san."
Seiya smiled at Usagi, taking both of Usagi's hands into hers and said, "You know that you're really pretty for a blonde. How do you manage to be so beautiful?"
Usagi blushed heavily, snatching her hands out of the grasp of the raven-haired girl who reminded her oddly of Seiya a little and said, "Umm... ano... I'm-."
Yaten nudged Seiya sharply in the ribs while smiling at Usagi, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "Don't pay no mind to Shina because she's always a joker since she likes seeing girls blush just by flattering them."
Seiya sends Yaten a dirty look, crossing her arms across her chest as she started to smirk afterwards and said, "And Hikari's a wannabe Barbie who thinks that she's sexier than me."
Yaten glared at Seiya and said, "Why you little-."
Taiki smiled at Usagi, glaring at Yaten and Seiya and said, "And they always are immature whenever they are left in a room together where they could possibly kill each other, but they don't."
Usagi giggled and said, "That sounds like me and Rei-chan."
Seiya looked at Usagi, her hair falling into her eyes seductively that mesmerized Usagi and said, "But anyhow do you have a boyfriend?"
Yaten nudged Seiya in the ribs again, sending her a dirty look and said, "Shina, don't ask her that for crying out loud! We barely even know her for Pete's sake!"
Seiya pulled on Yaten's hair, glaring at her and said, "I'm just curious
Usagi would've giggled at the similarity of how Hikari and Shina argued like Yaten and Seiya, but her smile instead dropped at Shina's question and said, "I do, but he's actually about to go overseas to study at Harvard."
Seiya and Yaten stopped their bickering, turning their attention back to a saddened Usagi as Usagi looked down at her hands on her lap.
Seiya places a hand on her chin, leaning on the table as anger started to boil within her despite how calm she appeared to be on the outside and said, "But why would he leave a pretty girl like you behind to do that? That's just stupid."
Usagi looked up at Shina in shock at the concern that she was showing her despite them just meeting and said, "Nani?"
Seiya said, "I said that it's just stupid that a man like him would leave a girl like you behind. He should be prosecuted for that for crying out loud because he's lucky enough to have a nice girl like you as a girlfriend."
Usagi said, "But he isn't that bad. He's just going because it's his dream and I don't want to be a burden to him since I want him to accomplish his dreams."
Seiya sighed, watching as Usagi lowers her head down to look down at her lap again and said, "You know what since you're sad I'm going to cheer you up."
Usagi looked up at her in confusion and surprise, her eyes locking with light grey ones and said, "Nani?"
Seiya smiled at her, getting up from the booth despite Taiki's and Yaten's attempts to stop her and said, "Hai, I am going to. Just wait a few minutes, OK?"
Seiya walked away, disappearing into the crowd before reappearing beside the DJ and whispers in his ear.
Yaten rolled her eyes, annoyance crossing her features as she watched as Seiya get on stage with a guitar and said, "For crying out loud, Shina! Bring your ass back here!"
Taiki sweatdropped, rubbing her temple and said, "Why me? Why me? Why can't these two stay out of trouble and act mature for once? Why?"
Usagi frowned, watching as Shina sat on a stool on stage and lowered the microphone stand so that it was in front of her and said, "What is she about to do?"
Seiya looked out at the crowd in front of her as the music stopped playing to everyone's confusion and said into the microphone, "Konnichiwa, minna-san! How are you doing tonight?"
Seiya sighed as someone in the crowd asked why in the hell was she on stage, her intense, but longing gaze locking with Usagi's innocent one before looking back out at the crowd in front of her and said, "I have a song; I'd like to sing for a friend. So I hope that you enjoy this song that I wrote about my secret love!"
Seiya sighed again, starting to strum the guitar in a melody that put everyone at ease as she started to vocalize at the same exact time music started to play also and started to sing:
Boy you're so hard to believe
Boy you're so hard to believe
[Verse 1:]
Just a friend
That's all I've ever been to you
Oh just a girl
Who wants to be the center of your world
But I ain't got much to offer
But my heart and soul
And I guess that's not enough
For you to notice me
I'm just your girl
And I guess that's all I'll ever be to you
To you, you
[Chorus:]
I try to smile when I see other girls with you
Acting like everything is ok
But ohh
You don't know how it feels to be so in love
With someone who doesn't even know
My secret love
[Verse 2:]
In my dreams
I see us both together constantly
Why can't you see
This love that's here for you inside of me
Ohhh
Usagi gaped at Shina in surprise as the crowd started to dance to song, thinking 'She can sing? She sounds like Seiya a little!'
Usagi turned her attention towards Hikari and Akira, watching as they smiled proudly at how powerful Shina's voice was before turning her attention back towards Shina.
What do I have to do
For you to notice this
You look at her with love
With me it's just friendship
I'm just your girl
And I guess that's all I'll ever be to you
To you
[Chorus:]
I try to smile when I see other girls with you (With you)
Acting like everything is ok
But ohh
You don't know how it feels to be so in love
With someone who doesn't even know
My secret love
Seiya looked right at Usagi as she pours more of her emotions into her voice for the bridge of the song, locking eyes with Usagi.
[Bridge:]
What do you see in her
You don't see in me (don't see in me)
Boy you're so hard to believe
Why do you show her love
But there's none for me
Boy you don't make sense to me
Is it cause I don't have much to offer
But my heart and soul
And I guess that's not enough
For you to notice me
I'm just your girl
And I guess that's all I'll ever be to you
To you, you, you!
Usagi gaped at Shina's vocal ability as she hit the high note without trying, faintly hearing everyone cheer for the young girl's talent as a familiar warmth filled her heart at the same exact time she heard a familiar voice say, "There you are, Usagi-chan!"
Usagi turned around to see a blushing Ami and a enraged Rei standing at the doorway, smiling sheepishly as she sprung onto her feet and said, "Gomen nasai, Rei-chan! I went to lo-."
Rei grabs Usagi by her ear and said, "No excuses! We're supposed to be looking forthem! Not fooling around! So stop fooling around and let's go!"
Usagi cried out as Rei dragged her out of the club and said, "But, Rei-chan!"
"No buts! Let's go!"
Ami continued to blush rapidly at her two best friends' childishness before locking eyes with a tall, slightly muscular, lean, and brown-haired woman with cyan blue eyes, scowling at the familiarity of the brunette woman as she thought 'She looks slightly like Taiki-san... But that's impossible! Taiki-san doesn't have blue eyes!'
Ami blushes more as the brunette turned around, locking eyes with her and looks away, turning around before running after her two bickering friends to continue searching for the Sailor Starlights.
[Chorus:]
I try to smile when I see other girls with you (With you)
Acting like everything is ok
But ohh
You don't know how it feels to be so in love
With someone who doesn't even know
My secret love
Oh Oooo, Wooo
Boy you're so hard to believe
Your my secret love...
Oh no no no no no no... boy you're so hard to believe...
I try to smile when I see other girls with you
Acting like everything is ok (everything ain't ok)
But ohh
You don't know how it feels to be so in love (so in love with you baby)
With someone who doesn't even know (Oh Yeah)
My secret love
(oh, no, nah)
Boy you're so hard to believe
The crowd cheered loudly as Seiya finished the song, clapping loudly as the raven-haired girl got up from the stool, sitting down the guitar before bowing.
Seiya said, "Arigato gozaimasu! I hope that you enjoyed that song!"
Seiya smiled, walking off of the stage before making her way back over to the booth and looked at Taiki and Yaten in confusion at Usagi's absence.
Yaten said, "Rei-san and Ami-san came and left with her."
Taiki smiled at Seiya, laying a hand on her shoulder once her saddened leader had taken a seat in the booth and said, "But it was a great song. She really did enjoyed it."
Seiya smiled, looking up as she takes a sip out of her drink with a giggle.
5 hours later, Usagi sighed sadly, walking back into her bedroom once taking a shower and brushes her hair, sitting down on her bed as "Nagreboshi He" on her radio.
'I wonder why exactly does Shina-san seems to remind of Seiya a little.'
Usagi looked at the radio as Seiya's strong, but soothing alto voice started to ring loudly within the room as he started to sing his part of the song that he sung to her when she and him were banned from seeing each other by Taiki, Yaten, and the Outer Senshi, sighing again as she thought 'Where are you now, Seiya? I wonder what you're doing right now since we weren't able to find you, Taiki, nor Yaten today at all. Even though everyone's back in my life again, I'm about to be so lonely again because Mamo-chan's leaving me to go to Harvard again... I just wished that you were here with me when I start falling apart because I'm not as strong as you think I am. I'm just not that strong! I just feel so alone!'
Usagi wipes away a lone tear that had fallen, thankful that Luna decided to stay over at Minako's for the night with Artemis so that they can pinpoint the Sailor Starlights' location and looked at the pink bear keychain that Seiya gave to her from its place beside the picture of her and Mamoru before looking away as sadness filled her heart, lying down on her bed as she turned out the lights.
Then a few minutes later as Usagi started to drift into another dreamless sleep with a couple of stray tears running down her face, she whispered sadly, but quietly into the darkness of the room, "Happy Birthday, Seiya."

Next time on Sailor Moon Shooting Starlights:
"So we meet again, huh, beautiful?"
"I hope that you get to America safely, Mamo-chan."
"Usagi-chan, are you sure that you're going to be okay by yourself?"
"I wonder where exactly are they. If only Seiya was here right now, Usagi-chan would be much more happier than she is now."
"What the hell happened to our apartment?"
"Seiya, we need to lay low for now, so don't get too close to Tsukino-san before you blow our cover."
"I hope that I can make you feel much better. A pretty girl like you shouldn't be so down. A smile suits you better than tears do."
