Chapter Five
Reni, Isabelle, Ruby, Lauren, and Elizabeth went out for the day.
"So, where should we go?" asked Elizabeth
"I don't know." Reni responded
"I know! We could go to the Circus! Today is it's last day!" Lauren suggested
"How did you know that?" asked Isabelle
'This flyer on the ground told me" Lauren explained as she handed the dingy flyer to Isabelle. Isabelle shook her head and pushed the dirty flyer away.
"Fine with me." agreed Ruby
So the girls went on their way to the Circus. None of the girls had ever been to a real circus before, so this was a real treat. They started the day with cotton candy and corn dogs. This didn't end too well, thanks to Lauren and Ruby.
"Well, it's not my fault I'm still hungry! You were just letting it sit there anyway!" Lauren shouted at a furious Ruby. "I'm pacing myself! I was just waiting for my stomach to settle." Ruby said through gritted teeth. Reni, Elizabeth and Isabelle were not in the mood to deal with Ruby and Lauren's constant bickering. Reni grabbed Isabelle and Elizabeth's hands and she led them away from the bicker war.
"Shhh! Let's ditch 'em! " Reni whispered and lead the way. Elizabeth silently giggled and whispered, "Let's see if they can make it on their own!" Isabelle didn't care; she just wanted to get away from those two. Lauren and Ruby were fighting for ten whole minutes until they realized what had happened.
"Wait, Lauren." Ruby said with a worried expression on her face. Lauren looked around and finally realized what happened. "They ditched us!" Lauren and Ruby said in exact unison. After saying that they gave each other dirty looks and turned their backs to each other. This was going to take a lot of effort for Lauren and Ruby to actually get along.
Meanwhile things with Elizabeth, Reni, and Isabelle were going terrific for once. For the first time ever they were able to just enjoy them selves and relax. "Let's go to the show! I want to see tigers and lions. " Reni said with a huge smile. Elizabeth and Isabelle agreed. They quickly made their way over to the big tent not knowing the fate that soon awaited them. They got exceptionally great seats right in the front row; this made the girls ecstatic because their first circus seemed to be perfect already. The lights shut off and the show began.
-----------------------------------
"So…what are we going to do?" Lauren asked. She had to say something because the silence was killing her. Ruby crossed her arms and remained silent. Lauren sighed and spoke again, "You know, we're going to have to learn to work together. We are a team in all, that's what teams do!" Ruby had to agree, Lauren was actually right about something. "Okay, Maxwell." Ruby responded.
"Maxwell? Why you calling me by my last name now?"
"Don't ask questions. Let's just find the others and get out of here. I'm sick of this circus atmosphere! Not only that, but the stench is killing me!"
"Well, Chang; some people are normal unlike yourself and enjoy this 'circus atmosphere.' " Lauren motioned with her fingers and grinned. Ruby was sick of fighting; she just had to learn to live with Lauren's smart-ass remarks. This would be hard, but Ruby knew she had to be strong. "Whatever. Let's go! We need to find the others." Lauren couldn't believe it! Ruby indeed just passed up the opportunity to bicker. "Wow! Ruby, what can I say? I'm proud of you." Lauren and Ruby then started searching for the others. After fifteen minutes of aimlessly walking around something strange started to happen; the wind stopped, the sky became darker, and there was no body in sight.
"Ehh, Chang? Do you thing we should transform? I'm picking up some weird vibes." Lauren said as she reached for her pen. Ruby was apprehensive as she looked around. "Lauren, I dunno. "
"Back to the first names? Wow! Let's transform!" Lauren quickly took command and shouted "Jupiter Power!" You know the crazy lightning bolt process, just imagine it! Mini Jupiter was finished transforming she walked over to the frightened Ruby and patted her on the back "C'mon Ruby, I know this is all new to you, but I believe in you! Now transform!" Ruby mustered up the courage to transform and shouted "Mars Power!" Ruby went through the whole fiery process and turned into Sailor Mini Mars.
"See, it wasn't that bad!" Mini Jupiter exclaimed. Mini Mars shook her head and whispered, "That's not what I was scared of…" She looked down and just clutched her kantana tightly. "I don't know if I can do this! I'm not as strong as my parents."
"Oh come on Mars! You and I both know you have a lot of strength, you may lack style, but that doesn't matter at this moment. Let's fight! Who knows what kind of trouble Reni, Elizabeth and Isabelle are in?" Mini Jupiter told Mini Mars all this with her ever so famous grin. Mini Mars smiled and decided she needed to push her selfish feelings aside. " Okay, I'm ready! Let's fight!"
Reni, Elizabeth and Isabelle looked at the audience. They were horrified by what they were witnessing. It seemed the new enemy decided to rear it's ugly head at the circus. The monster was a creepy clown with blood-smeared make up and a razor tooth smile. This is the kind of clown you would see in your nightmares! Elizabeth was almost in tears when she saw this thing "Reni, we need to transform! "
"Moon Prism Power!"
"Mercury Power!" Sailor Mini Mercury's uniform was periwinkle with light green bows. She wielded an ice sword and shield.
"Venus Power!" Sailor Mini Venus's uniform was a burnt orange with yellow bows with her weapon of choice, a chain of glowing hearts, her love chain!"
"Ready, scouts?" asked Sailor Mini Moon with confidence. Mini Mercury and Mini Venus nodded and prepared for the fight. The clown didn't seem to notice the girls transform because he was too busy sucking the souls out of the poor audience.
"Mercury Bubble Blaaaast!" Roared Mini Mercury. Soon the whole tent was fogged up with bubbles. The clown shrieked, "Who did that? Who dares to interrupt my soul sucking process?" The clown's voice sent shivers up the scouts' spines. This was one creepy clown; it was going to take a lot to take this creep out!
Sailor Mini Moon pulled her scouts low to the ground with her. "We need to develop a strategy," she whispered, " maybe Venus and I can distract him while you look for his weak spot on your computer" Mini Moon suggested to Mini Mercury. Mini Mercury pulled out her computer and Mini Moon and Venus snuck over to the creepy clown.
"Venus Love Chain Encircle!" Mini Venus whispered so she wouldn't attract too much attention. The chain wrapped around the clown and he was stuck. "Ahhh! Let go of me!" The clown said in his hair-raising voice. Venus pulled her chain and the clown fell, but apparently the clown had a trick up his sleeve; in a matter of seconds the clown shrunk and wigged his way out of the chain. He then pulled it and Mini Venus came tumbling out of the fog.
"So, you're the one causing all this trouble!" The clown picked Mini Venus up by her neck and stared into her tear-filled aqua eyes with his cold yellow eyes. Mini Moon couldn't believe what she was seeing. What could she do? She was no warrior. What did she know about fighting?
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" Mini Moon screamed and ran toward the creepy clown. The pink hearts knocked the clown down and Mini Venus out of his clutch. She was breathing heavily and thanked Mini Moon. The fall seemed to knock the clown out he wasn't moving at all.
"It could be a trap." Mini Moon warned Mini Venus. All of a sudden Mini Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter emerged through the bubble fog. "Thank God!" Mini Venus praised. Mini Jupiter slammed her scythe into the clown and screamed "Jupiter Lightning Scythe!" Bolts of lightning went through the clown and it shook. Jupiter pulled her scythe out of the clown and blew on her scythe "Never fails!"
But Mini Jupiter was wrong, the clown grabbed her leg and flew up in the air.
"Thought you could get rid of me? Hah! Foolish child!" The clown said with an evil smile.
"Oh no! Jupiter! Someone help her!" Mini Mars cried. All the girls were surprised at Mini Mars's sudden bond with Mini Jupiter.
"Mercury Ice Blade!" Mini Mercury pointed her blade toward the clown, but he put Mini Jupiter in front of him. "AHH! Mercury, go for the clown, not me!" Mini Jupiter said as her teeth chattered from the ice blast. Mini Mars was about to attack then Mini Jupiter screamed "Noooo! Mars! No fire!"
"She's crazy!" Mini Venus said. "Hey wait…. I can help her down!" Venus swung her chain and screamed "Venus Love Chain Attach!" her chain attached to Mini Jupiter's arm; the clown laughed and started sucking Mini Jupiter and Mini Venus's souls' out.
"Venus! Let go of your chain!" Mini Mercury commanded, but too late Mini Jupiter and Venus were soon lifeless bodies.
"Who's next?" the clown laughed and threw Mini Jupiter at Mini Moon. Mini Jupiter's body hit Mini Moon pretty hard and caused her to fall. "Ouch!" whined a disgruntled Mini Moon. "Mercury, what did your computer say?"
"Mini Moon, we need Sailor Moon! She has the Moon Scepter!" Mini Mercury explained to her friend.
