AN: Meggie: Hello! This is chapter 33, and guess what Emma and I are doing! No, ya have to guess! Okay, I'll tell you. We are going to turn this chapter into a joint project!

Emma: uh-oh...

Meggie: The rules are, whenever Emma or I have an idea, we take the keyboard and type it in. Then when the other person has an idea, they take the keyboard. That way, you can't plan out the chapter, and it becomes spontaneous and way more interesting.

Emma: -groan- Meggie you were right. This will be dangerous...and possibly violent...and your way stronger!

Meggie: -smirk- kaaaaaaaaarmaaaaaaaaaaaaa….

Emma: do I have to do this?

Meggie: well...you COULD just let ME type up the entire chapter by myself...

Emma: HELL FUCKIN NO!

Meggie: wow. i AM a bad influence on you...!

Emma: just don't tell my mommy.

Meggie: this author's note is getting pretty damn long– let's cut to the freakin story, shall we?

Emma: okay but I do

Meggie: we don't own Sailor Moon, too bad, cry cry, STORY TIME!

The Missing Sailor

Chapter 33!

" Mr. and Mrs. Hanzo?" the doctor asked walking into the waiting room. While he was expecting the parents and brother, he got a whole mess of people all waiting to get word on Emma's condition. " Oh dear...are these ALL of her friends?"

"Yeah, and WHAT OF IT?" Meggie asked, cracking her knuckles.

"Meggie, do NOT pull a repeat of the seventh grade trip to the zoo!" Kasadi yelled at her.

"What happened on the trip to the zoo?" Rini and Sam wondered.

Meggie smiled maniacally. "Let us just say that animals are not meant to be kept in cages." (AN: Meggie– I actually did this. BUT DON'T TELL THEM IT WAS ME!)

"Or we can say that she stole the keys to practically every animal cage in the zoo." Kasadi snapped.

FLASHBACK

"Jesus Christ, I wish Emma was here." Meggie thought as she kicked a small rock down the dirt path. "The only people I can hang out with are the two lovebirds." She looked at her only two friends– not even friends, really, more like good acquaintances– walk past, holding hands and practically singing "All You Need Is Love". "WHY did she have to get herself kicked off the trip with those moronic HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS! And then there's– HEH-loh, what's this?" She spotted a set of keys on a bench. They had little tags on them, that said things like 'Lions', and 'Tigers', and 'Bears' "Oh my." Meggie smiled. This was going to be FUN.

END OF FLASHBACK

" Oh..." Rini and Sam said letting their imaginations run wild at what Meggie could possibly do with those keys. Oh the possibilities.

" Doctor what's wrong with Emma?" Josh asked.

" Well, yeah...about that." The doctor started while looking through his clip board that had Emma's chart.

" Do you really think we should have left our daughter's life in the hands of someone who delivers bad news by saying 'well, yeah...about that'?" Beth asked her husband.

" It seemed like a good idea at the time." Hotaka answered.

"Um, you are not going to like this, but..."

"ooOOh boy." Serena said.

"Everybody brace yourself." Katsuro added. "For Sam's reaction, at least."

"Hey-" Sam began, but then the doctor said bluntly "She's in a coma." and the 'Hey' turned into a "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN SHE'S IN A COMA!"

"Don't hurt me! I'm just an intern!"

"You put our DAUGHTER'S LIFE in the hands of an INTERN!"

"Like I said, it seemed like a good idea at the time." While Mr. And Mrs. Hanzo argued. (Well, only Mrs. Hanzo) Sam was going through the roof.

" HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?" Sam yelled. Ikuko was trying to hold back her son.

" Well, her body reacted to a medication that we gave her for the pain." The intern said. " or it was her dinner."

" What was her dinner?" Beth asked. " Chicken Lo-mein with Shell fish topping."

" SHELL FISH! ARE YOU INSANE!" Hotaka yelled. " DID YOU READ HER CHART AT ALL?"

The intern winced and skimmed the stack of papers. When he got to medical diseases his heart skipped a beat. " oh..." He was pale as a ghost. " she has asthma...and there is iodine in shell fish...oh shit."

Ikuko clapped her hands over Rini's ears. "Please sir, there are little ears!"

"Ma, I'm thirteen!" Rini whined. "I've heard far worse at school!"

Pause. "You're going to a Catholic School when Christmas break ends."

"NO!" All the teens yelled at once. Katsuro was loudest, and Rini came in at a close second.

"Hey, you!" Ichiro said to the intern, slapping his face lightly to get his attention. "Stick to the subject, please. This is my niece, and if she dies, I will kick you in the ass SO HARD, that you'll be in a wheelchair for six months and you'll end up ADOPTING. Are we clear?"

The intern looked at all the people with looks on their faces that said 'Oh, and I'LL HELP.' He gulped. That was a lot of people. "Yes sir."

"Good. Now take us to Emma."

"Oh, I don't know if I can do that, our visiting hours are strict--"

Sam pushed past Ichiro and grabbed the intern's collar. He practically lifted him off the ground. "Take. Me. To. her. NOW."

Pause. The intern looked at his wrist– he had no watch. "And, visiting hours are right about...Now!" Sam gave him a stern look. "Um... Room 123." ( AN: Emma: ABC! Hee hee)

"Thank you!" Sam dashed off down the hall. They all waited, and he came running back. "It's this way, isn't it?" He asked, pointing the other direction. They all nodded their heads. "Okay." DASH!

Sam barged through the door after fifteen minutes of mindless searching. He ended up on the maternity ward and figured that he was on the wrong floor. (AN: Emma: NO DIP!) Everyone was crowded around the bed where Emma was 'sleeping' soundly. It was like Sam was Moses and everyone else was the red sea and nobody complained because Sam's face was red with anger. Katsuro, ( of course) started laughing, earning him multiple bruises on his head. Sam took the seat by the bed with Emma facing him. She was peaceful, but had a slight smirk on her face. 'I swear. If she is dreaming of Kappei Yamaguchi or Richard Cox...OR BOTH there WILL be hell to pay.' Sam threatened in his head. Sam looked around for a moment. He laughed when he saw Ichiro on the phone.

" I want to sue for malpractice...I DON'T CARE IF HE'S JUST AN INTERN! ME AND MY BROTHER ARE PRETTY MUCH THE JAPANESE MAFIA…save the Izuma clan, who are the Italian mafia by marriage.." Everyone saw Meggie's chest puff out with pride, Kasadi knew she was chanting ' I'm a mafia princess!' in her mind. " BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT" Ichiro yelled. " I STILL WANT HIM SUED! AND IF HE ISN'T, YOU WILL BE!...thank you. I will see you in court." Ichiro hung up his phone and looked around. " What? Being a international race car driver has its perks." Sam shook his head and looked back at Emma. She stirred and coughed. Everyone watched intently as Emma slowly flickered her eyes open. The first thing she saw was Katsuro's ass facing her as he looked at Ichiro.

" AHHHHH!" Emma screamed. She sat up and tried to get out of bed, but ended up kissing the floor. " ow...not...good...HELP!"

Josh bent down and scooped her up and put her in her bed.

" What the f-," Emma got a warning look from her mother. " What the flip happened?"

" You've been a coma for about 14 hours." the REAL doctor came in. " And I must apologize for Kenwa-san. He's not supposed to dip into the patient files. He has been fired."

" oh...how did this happen?" Emma asked.

" They put shell fish in your dinner last night." Josh answered.

" WHO DID THAT?" Emma yelled.

" an intern" Sam grimaced.

Emma turned and looked at Sam. " SAM!"

" EMMA!"

" SAM! YOU'RE 14 AGAIN!"

" WHAT?" Sam asked.

Emma smiled and then looked under her blanket. " AND I'M NOT PREGNANT!WOO YEAH!"

" WHAT!" everyone yelled.

" I'm taking this as my cue to leave." The doctor said before slipping out of the room.

Before he knew it, Sam was being held to the wall by the three Hanzo men and...Amara. Meggie wanted to join in too just for the hell of it, but Kasadi stopped her.

" What did you do to my daughter?" Hotaka yelled.

" HOTAKA!" Beth yelled. " JOSHUA! ICHIRO!...AMARA!"

" DADDY! It was a...DREAM I had! CALM DOWN! IT WAS A DREAM!" Emma yelled. It took a minute or two, but finally they let Sam off the wall. Sam gasped for air as he got back down to his feet. He took a hard look at Emma who cowered under her blankets.

" Emma Rose Hanzo" Hotaka came up.

Suddenly, everyone cleared the room. Emma knew what he was talking about. "How do you explain yourself?"

" Um... I blame raging teenage hormones and a shellfish induced coma." Emma tried to lighten the mood. Heh heh heh No. Everyone sat outside the door.

Sam had his ear to the door. He hadn't learned much English, but he could make out 'how dare you' ' you're grounded' and ' no basketball' also some curses like ' I don't give a damn' and ' if you pull this shit again, I swear...' and the ever popular 'WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN?' but that's all he managed.

" Doesn't sound good." Josh snickered. " I knew she would get in trouble like this at some point. This makes me wrecking Dad's care seem like a little scratch on the rear view mirror."

" Asthmatics aren't supposed to have shellfish because the iodine is a trigger for an attack. It seems like that the iodine in the shell fish reacted with her body, and instead of making her have trouble breathing, it sent her into a coma. OR, it could have reacted with both her asthma and the pain medication. There are so many different ways this could have turned out. She's lucky. She could have been in a coma for much longer. Days, weeks, maybe months." Ami said reading from her Med. School prep books she received from one of the many universities just begging her to go to theirs. The pressure of being a genius.

" My brain hurts..." Serena rubbed her head.

" Really, I thought there was only air in there." Rei snickered. Serena threw an empty bedpan that was sitting on a shelf and threw it at her. Rei ducked and it hit the man behind her.

" YOU AGAIN!" The intern Kenwa yelled. " I'm sorry! I've already lost my job and my hopes of becoming a doctor are down the drain. What more do you want?"

Everyone smiled evilly to each other, even Ichiro and his daughters. Meggie turned and looked at Kasadi questioningly. Kasadi sighed, then said "Go ahead, go ahead."

Then Meggie walked up to an unattended fire extinguisher. She smiled evilly at the intern. "I'M GONNA ENJOY THIS!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

" Emma." Sam asked sitting on the bed. Emma was curled up under her covers pretending to be asleep. " Emma, you can't fool me. You should know that by now."

Emma gave up and sat up. It was dark and she was going to be released the next morning. Sam was going to stay until the nurses shoved him out. And then attempt to climb through the window...but he didn't tell Emma that part. " Okay...I can't give away to much but, I'll tell you what I can."

" Okay."

"Well, Me and you get married."

" Really? No! DUH."

" Serena and Darien"

" BIG Duh."

" Ami and a guy she meets at med school or something."

" 'Kay…"

" Lita and her sparring partner"

" A married couple who can kick ass. Not sure if I should be afraid or not. …I hope they don't have kids!"

" heh heh. Don't know. I didn't get to meet him." Emma laughed. " Rei meets this weird guy named Kokoro and have six kids, and I think I walked in on number seven."

" Shield your eyes moment?" Sam laughed.

" BIG one." Emma cringed. " Our son almost did too."

" Son?"

" Yeah. I messed up the time line and we have a three year old son named Kappei by the time Hoshiko arrives on the scene."

" Great, Kappei!" Sam grimaced.

" What's wrong with Kappei?"

" Same name as the guy who played Inuyasha in the Japanese dub, that is hanging on your ceiling."

" I don't have Kappei Yamaguchi on my ceiling!"

" Yes you do. And Richard Cox too."

" No I don't!...oh wait..."

" What?"

" My one friend who would do that and unfortunately, I'm blood related to her."

" No."

" Kasadi" Emma frowned. " Must get back at her for that."

" We'll do it together...but on with the story."

" Okay. Mina marries Josh."

" Did NOT see that coming." Sam said sarcastically

" I know. Anywho, Amara and Michelle."

" NO!"

" Yep."

" NO!"

" Yes."

" NO!"

" Now dammit woman, I said yes."

"ex-CUSE me!"

"Oh, um…that's what you said to me when this conversation was flipped around in my dream." Emma said. (Chibi sweat drop on Sam.)

" Okay. Sorry. Carry on."

" Trista married some guy, but he died of cancer. They had a little girl named Setsuna."

" Oh."

" Hotaru was still dating and Rini married Katsuro."

" Not if I can help it." Sam growled.

" Sam. Remember. She is your niece biologically. Not your sister. Darien should worry about that."

" Hey, your uncle is protective."

"-Psh- You think I care. So is my dad and brother."

" right."

" So, When I woke up I was three months pregnant and the mother of a three year old."

" Kay."

" And, you were this hot manly man."

" REALLY?" Sam asked excitedly.

" No."

" WHAT?"

" Kidding."

"-grumble- Bitch. -grumble-"

" What was that?"

" nothing."

" That's what I thought."

" But really. Was I hot?"

" -sigh- yes. Are you happy now?"

" Yes. Very."

" Okay, I can't tell you anything else because I don't want to give too much away. But don't you DARE tell anyone about thing with Rei and Kokoro. And Ami and Lita. And Hotaru and Trista. Definitely not Trista. Don't want her to shun marriage. Everything else won't be much of a surprise. Even the Amara and Michelle thing." Emma ordered. "okay, just don't say anything. No need to mess up the time line. Oh, and act surprised when this stuff happens, because I don't really want anyone to get suspicious. I don't know when they all get married and have kids, because no one mentioned it. Okay?"

" Okay."

" But Sam…"

" What?"

" I have a feeling things are going to get dangerous. As soon as Meggie and Kasadi go home. Monoka will show up even more. The end is coming. Battles left and right. You have to stay away from Sakura. And her friends. If you see her coming, get away. Shove yourself into a locker if you have to. No contact what so ever. And if she corners you, just call for me or one of the girls. They'll show up. Just be careful. I like how our future turned out. I don't want to imagine what might happen if something goes wrong. YOU are in danger. Remember that. I can handle myself. I have powers. You don't. And I have feeling Hoshiko will give me a heads up at what not to do tonight. But, she'll probably be gone after the last battle."

" Okay. Anything. As long as YOU stay safe." Sam said.

Emma nodded. " Deal."

" Deal." Sam leaned over and kissed her.

" Excuse me, but visiting hours have been long over." a nurse said crossing her arms.

Sam scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously. " Sorry. I wasn't exactly comfortable with leaving her by her self until I was kicked out."

" Well, we're bringing in a room mate for her. We ran out of rooms so we need to double people up."

" Please don't tell me it's an old person who can't stand MTV." Emma whined.

" No. We made sure of that. In fact, Kaguuya Takahashi. I heard you were the one who found her when she came out of her coma. So I figured it would be a good idea to pair you two up." the nurse said.

Emma nodded. She had mixed feelings about sharing a room with her rival's little sister.

" Do you know if the family is coming tomorrow?" Emma asked.

" Nope. Not until after you are released at least." The nurse replied.

Emma and Sam both let out a sigh of relief. " Okay. Then bring in the little munchkin." Emma beamed. The nurse just laughed.

Then she looked at Sam. " You." She pointed to him. " OUT!" Sam kissed Emma's forehead and dashed out the door.

" Aww…you scared him away." Emma pouted.

" Sorry. Your father and uncle paid me to make sure he didn't stay past 11." The nurse smiled.

" I will get them!" Emma clenched her fists.

" Hey, I'll letcha in on secret." the nurse whispered.

"What?" Emma whispered as well.

The nurse smiled. "It's 12:30" Emma laughed. Then she turned and brought in another bed with a sleeping Kaguuya.

" Is she okay?"

" Yeah. But she had to be sedated because she kept screaming about Sailor Star saving her. She wants to meet her again and she got out of control."

" I see. Oh well. I'm going to bed." Emma said curling up into the quilt her mother brought for her. " I want to wake up sooner so I can go home sooner. I can't stand hospital food."

" Maybe I'll sneak in some ramen when breakfast comes around." The nurse said. " And I'll make sure myself no one puts shellfish in your eggs." she winked.

" Thanks." Emma said before yawning. It was long day, and it was going to be a long night.

QUICK INTERUPTION:

Meggie: okay guys! Emma has made the monumental mistake of letting me have free reign on the rest of this. She e-mailed it to me, and now it is MINE! -evil laugh, lightning strikes, wolves howl- We can work with this, can't we? Oh, well let us find out!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Pssssst!"

"-groan-"

"…Pssssssssst!"

"-mumble-"

THWAP! "Hey!" Emma sat up and rolled over at the same time. "Who-" Then she saw the little girl, and remembered. "Oh."

The little girl was no longer unconscious, that much was obvious, and seeing her with a pillow in her hand helped Emma to figure out exactly who 'thwap'ed her over the head.

"Are YOU Sailor Star?"

"Wha? No." Emma was still in the process of waking up. "Why do you say that?"

"Well, you look like her." The little girl answered. "And, well…" She pointed to Emma's neck, where the Hoshiko's necklace hung. "there's that little hint."

"Uh…" She stuffed it down her shirt and stammered "Well, it uh oh er I um eh yaaaa…."

Slowly, the little girl smiled. She took a deep breath, then Emma dove over onto her bed and slapped a hand over her mouth. But she could still her the little girl's muffled cry "SAILOR STAR! IT'S SAILOR STAR! I TOLD YOU MOMMY THAT SHE WASN'T JUST SOME SNOT NOSED BRAT PRETENDING! BUT DID YOU LISTEN? NOOOO!"

"Shhh!" Emma hissed. "You cannot tell anyone, okay? …OKAY? Now, are you going to stop yelling?"

The little girl nodded. Emma slowly let her hand uncover the girl's mouth. As soon as Emma's hand was by her side again, the little girl took a deep breath and screamed "SAIL--" Emma's hand was right back over her mouth again.

"Quiet!" Emma hissed. "I'll- I- I'll give you an autograph if you're quiet!"

Kaguuya's muffled squeals of excitement were enough of a yes for her. Emma let her go again. She swiveled around to get a better look at her hero.

"Now, you promise you won't tell anyone about this?"

She blinked. "About what?" Then she winked.

Emma smiled. "Good."

Then she went back to her bed, drew the curtain that separated their beds, then looked for some clothes to put on. She'd have to wear the stuff she wore here yesterday, it was all she had at the moment. Once she'd gotten dressed, she used the little bedside buzzer thingy to call for a nurse.

The nurse helped her get up and get the feeling back in her legs, then Emma said goodbye to her one night roomie and went down to the waiting room. Amara came to pick her up.

"You ready to go?"

Emma nodded. "Yep."

"Okay then." Amara signed her out and led her outside. "There's someone I want you to meet." She stepped aside so Emma could see what she was talking about. "Ta-da!" A brand new motorcycle stood parked next to the sidewalk. It was black and shiny. (AN: Meggie: i like shiny!) Amara hugged it like it was her lover. "I named it Kuro-Ryuu!"

" 'Black Dragon'?"

"I like it! Here, I got a helmet just for you." She held out a black helmet with stars on it. Then she said jokingly "'Cause you're my little starlet!"

"Ooooo, I like." Emma said as she put it on. "How fast does this thing- er, 'Kuro-Ryuu' go?" Emma got on behind Amara.

"Only one way to find out." And they sped off.

They got back to the Hanzo residence in five minutes flat. Scary thing is, it was supposedly a twenty minute ride. (Emma wasn't quite sure of the exact time, because every time they took her there, she was far too busy being unconscious.)

"Whaddya think?" Amara asked, stepping onto the sidewalk.

"Wow." Emma's hair was blown out behind her, and stuck like that because they'd been going so fast. "Uh-oh. Amara, behind you-"

"Hi there." A group of giggling girls around Amara's age came up to them. They obviously thought Amara was some hot guy. "This your bike?"

"Yeah." Amara said. Then came her famous (and most frequently used) line "Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm a girl."

"Oh." They looked crestfallen.

"But I'm gay, if that helps."

"Ew!" They all ran away.

Emma and Amara laughed about it as they walked up to the front door. As she took off her shoes, Emma called "I'm hooOOoome!"

"EMMA!" Serena, Rini, Darien, Ami, Rei, Mina, Lita, Michelle, Hotaru, Trista, Sam, Katsuro, Meggie, and Kasadi all tackled her as she walked through the door.

"Ow…." Emma said as they all got off her. "My heeeead…"

"-GASP-" Everyone started freaking out. Her parents were calling the hospital again, Sam and Rini were rushing her into the living room and sitting her down on the couch, and everyone else was just running around in complete panic.

"HEY!" Emma yelled, which made everyone freeze. "I'm OKAY."

"Oh." Then they all went back to normal.

Trista was talking to Hotaru about some designs for a character's costume in the show, Lita, Mina, and Michelle were talking about the latest on a popular band, Rini and Sam were fighting over this or that (Katsuro was the commentator- "Rini the Ripper in this corner, and Serial Killer Sam in the other! All wrestling, all day, all real! Don't miss it!"), Ami and Rei were chatting about the shrine, Serena and Darien were playing the "No, you're cuter" game, and Meggie and Kasadi were listening to something on Meggie's I-Pod. Emma guessed it was something by their friend Kathleen's band, Cootie Shot (AN: our friend Kathleen really does have a band called Cootie Shot-look for them on myspace!-, and they rock yo), because they were singing along, saying "Circle Cirlce, Dot Dot, Now I've got my Cootie Shot".

"Hey," Emma looked up, and Amara was standing there, looking anxious about something. "Can I talk to you for a sec?"

They walked into the kitchen, and Amara pulled out two tickets to a concert. "Could you hang on to these for me until tomorrow night? I'm afraid I'll lose them."

"Sure…" Emma took the tickets and looked at them. "Classical Music? But I thought you liked Jazz."

"Michelle likes Classical."

"Oh, okay." Emma tucked them into her pocket.

"And…." Amara dug into her pocket again. "Do NOT lose this." She held out a small box, covered in black velvet.

Emma gasped. "Can I open it?" Amara nodded, and Emma found inside a beautiful gold ring, with a big ass diamond set into the band. "Oh. My. God. Are you-?"

"Uh-huh." Amara said nervously.

"Whoa. And will she-?"

"I hope."

"Then I guess-"

"Yeah. This is it."

""Whoa." Emma said again. Then she smiled. "You're proposing." She didn't know why exactly she was smiling, but she was. "You're proposing to Michelle!"

"I'm proposing to Michelle." Amara looked as though it was still sinking in.

"Wow! And you're giving me the ring!"

"I trust you."

Emma smiled. "Thanks Amara."

"There you two are!" Michelle came in and wrapped her arm around Amara's. Emma quickly tucked the box in the pocket of her jacket. "I was wondering were you guys ran off to."

"Sorry Michelle." Amara said. "We were just talking about different ways to try and make Star Shaking less demanding on us."

"No work today! She just got out of the hospital!" Michelle grabbed Emma and dragged them back into the living room.

Emma sat down on the couch, with Rini and Sam on her right, and Meggie and Kasadi on her left. She looked at Michelle and Amara. Amara bent over and said something to Michelle, who laughed. Then she playfully batted Amara on the shoulder. They looked happy together, and Emma just knew that they'd end up that very same way. Happy and together.
