Chapter 1: The Wake Up Call
In a dark bedroom, filled with lamps, a young woman with black hair sleeps peacefully in her bed without a care in the world. "Wake up Hotaru," someone said. So the girl, who we now know is Hotaru wakes up and looks around her dark room looking for whoever the voice belonged to but, she saw no one just darkness. "I could've sworn I heard my mother's voice." Hotaru thought out loud. But atlas she couldn't have only because her mother has been dead for years. Soon after she feel back asleep unaware with what was about to happen. Some where in the dark vast universe there was an evil so powerful that the other universes couldn't stop it. "I will have what makes the Sailor Scouts so strong," a person laughs evilly.
The next day Hotaru's father wakes her up, "Hotaru honey wake up" "What is it daddy I'm awake." Hotaru answered back. "Good it's time to get ready for school" Hotaru's dad said smiling "Do I have to go today?" Hotaru whined back "Yes you do" Her dad answered back laughing. "Ok fine" so Hotaru gets up and starts getting ready for school. After doing her morning routine she goes downstairs for breakfast. As she was sitting down to eat her brother came in and sat in front of her. "Well Well Well look who decided to get up" Darien said "Shut up Darien I'm not in the mood to mess with you today." Hotaru said "Hey chill out Hotaru, Geez what's up with you today?" Darien asked Hotaru sighs "Nothing is wrong I'm sorry I yelled at you." "Its okay kiddo" Darien accepted smiling "HEY don't call me that your only 5 minutes older than me." Hotaru stated with a red face. Darien starts laughing "Okay kids are you ready to go to school?" Their dad asked "Hey dad can we walk to school today?" Darien asked "I don't know" their dad said hesitantly "Oh please daddy can we." Hotaru begged "Fine but please stay out of trouble" Their father said in defeat. "It's not me you have to worry about daddy" Hotaru said laughing. "Hey what's that suppose to mean Hotaru?" Darien asked his twin. "Exactly what it means Darien" Hotaru said to her brothers. "Whatever let's go so we can meet with the girls." Darien said grabbing his stuff "Bye dad see you in class" Darien said giving his dad a hug. "Bye daddy see you in science." Hotaru said giving her dad a kiss on the check. After giving her father a hug and kiss she left to meet up with the others.
As Darien and Hotaru were walking to school someone called out their names. As they turned around Rini jumped onto Hotaru and hugged her "Long time no see huh Hotaru" Rini said laughing. Hotaru laughed and said "I saw you yesterday Rini we have the same classes," Lita, Mina, Amy and Raye were laughing at the two of them. Mina went up to the three "Hey guys what's up?" "Hey Mina nothing much here how about you?" Darien answered. Hotaru, after getting Rini off of her, rolled her eyes at Darien. "Hey Hotaru what's wrong?" Rini asked "Nothing Rini, come on let's get to school before we're late, coming guys?" Hotaru asked while walking down the street "Yeah we're coming" they replied. Amy, Lita, Raye, Rini, and Hotaru walked the rest of the way to school. While the rest left Darien and Mina were still talking not paying attention that they were the only ones still there. When the others got to school they were early for class. "Hey Raye can you please call Mina and tell them they are late for school?" Hotaru asked "Sure hang on" Raye took out her cell phone and dialed Mina's number and waited for it to ring.
As Mina and Darien were talking Mina's cell began to ring. Mina looks at her phone and saw Raye number (Raye and Mina's conversation)
Mina: Hello
Raye: Hey Mina
Mina: Oh hey Raye
Raye: So, when are you two going to get done talking?
Mina: Soon why?
Raye: Because school has started already
Mina: WHAT!
Raye: Yeah, you didn't see us walk off?
Mina: No! We'll be right there! Thanks bye!
Raye Bye.
(Conversation Ends)
"Darien we have to get going." Mina said in a hurry. "Huh? What are you talking about Mina?" Darien asked "I mean that we're late for school!" Mina answered "What! How can that be?" Darien asked in a panic "All of the talking we were doing might have had something to do with it." Mina answered again "Yeah let's get going." Darien said running down the street with Mina. So Darien and Mina ran all the way to the school. When they got there they found out that they weren't late, they were right on time. "Hope you learned your lesson about being late for school." Hotaru said "You did this on purpose didn't you." Yelled Darien. "You know me all too well." Hotaru laughed. "Hotaru you little witch I'll get you for this." Darien yelled. After he said that the bell rung to go to class, "Guess I'll see you in science Darien." Hotaru laughed. "Hey where are the others?" Mina asked "They already headed to the class room to talk to Serena." Darien answered. "Oh ok." Mina responded. "Come on Mina; let's get to class so we can talk to Serena." Darien Said. "Ok come on let's hurry up." Mina laughed and ran down the hall while Darien ran after here.
Mina and Darien got to class on time they walked in and sat down at their desk. Mina was on the left of Serena and Darien was on the right. Serena looked up from reading and saw it was them. "Hey Mina Darien what's wrong? It looks like you ran here." Serena asked because they both were breathing heavy with their heads down on the desks. "Yeah we did, Raye called Mina saying we were late for school and we ran to school, then met up with everyone and then ran here." Darien answered Serena after giving her a kiss. "Oh ok, well next time don't be late." Serena said "But we weren't late we were right on time, by the way, how did you get here so early?" Mina asked "Oh I left home early and got here when Molly and Melvin did." Serena answered like it was no big deal. "What you got here early?" Darien and Mina asked. "Yep" Serena answered, just before they could ask Serena why she was early the teacher walked in. "Alright class we're going to learn about Romeo and Juliet." The teacher said. She handed out the novels and asked the class if they knew about the book. Serena raised her hand and the teacher called on her. "It's a love story between two teenagers whose family is in a middle of a war with each other." Serena answered "Very good Serena." The teacher said. Mina and Darien look shocked with their mouth hanging wide. The teacher then started reading out loud. *I wonder what Hotaru is doing in her class right now.* Darien thought, Serena looked at Darien and saw him in deep thought. She had noticed how much time him and Hotaru spend together, she just didn't know why. She looked down at her desk very upset not noticing that Mina just witnessed it all. *Poor Serena I hope Darien tells her about him and Hotaru soon.* Mina thought
