A few days after Uranus and Venus returned, I was at Usagi's house and I couldn't shake the thought of the problem between Haruka and Seiya. "Usagi-chan?" Usagi looked at me. "What's up with Haruka-san and Seiya? Are they like...enemies?"
"Oh," Usagi said having a flashback. "It was during the war with Galaxia that they met. Seiya was still part of the Three Lights and Michiru-san had a joint concert scheduled with them. After the concert, which I missed for very good reasons, I went to Michiru-san's dressing room with Haruka-san. When we came in, Seiya was in there with Michiru-san. Seiya called Haruka-san a guy since they never met before. Then I tried to tell him she was a girl but Michiru-san interupted me. Seiya was jokey about it and introduced himself and Haruka-san introduced herself. I'm not sure what happened during that handshake, but they never looked at each other the same way again."
"Hmmm," I mumbled. I wondered if maybe Seiya and Haruka were just perfect equals. Maybe that didn't make them enemies, but rivals. "Oh well."
"You know Annie-chan," Usagi said excitedly. "You should get to know Haruka-san and Mako-chan. They're really cool. Haruka-san drives an awesome car and Mako-chan plays a mean Sailor V." Usagi chuckled. "We could all go somewhere! You, me, Haruka-san, and Mako-chan! We could go to the arcade and the movies and get ice cream and just go driving in Haruka-san's car..." She broke off dreaming of the perfect day.
"That's a great idea!" I said. "It's always good to get to know the people you work with. And I guess you can consider this work."
"Ok," Usagi suddenly looked excited. "Let's go get them!"
***************************************
I'm glad Usagi had the idea to spend the day with Haruka and Makoto. We went to Haruka's apartment. Usagi ran up the stairs and I followed.
I finally caught up with Usagi at the door. She was knocking and saying, "Haruka-san! Haruka-san!" Eventually Haruka came to the door.
"Oh, Koneko-chan," she said. Usagi said that this means my little kitten-chan. An interesting nickname for Usagi...
"Haruka-san!" Usagi was very animated. "Can you please take me, Annie-chan, and Mako-chan around in your car?" Haruka got this strange expression on her face. "Come on! It will be fun. Trust me. Let's go!" Then Usagi dragged Haurka out of the doorway and down the stairs.
"There goes my gas," Haruka mumbled. We went over to Makoto's then. I was pretty quiet the whole ride and Usagi was giving Haruka directions.
"MAKO-CHAN!!!" Usagi was yelling while pounding on Makoto's door. I looked at Haruka. She looked stong and built for a girl but right now her face was embarassed looking. I bet she was hoping that no one was watching and if they were they didn't think Haruka was with her.
"Usagi-chan?" Makoto said when she came to the door. "What are you doing here?" She looked tired like she had just gotten out of bed.
"Come on Mako-chan!" Usagi said. "We're gonna go driving with Haruka and go to the movies and arcade and..." Usagi started rambling while Makoto got in the back of the car with me.
"So where do you want to go first?" Usagi asked everyone. "I was thinking we could start off at a movie."
"Oh," Makoto said. "And who is going to pay for this movie, Usagi-chan?" Usagi looked at Makoto then the rest of us.
"Uh...I hadn't thought of that before..." Usagi quietly said. "Well then how about we hang out in the park?" Minako and Haruka both seemed to like this cheap idea
"You've been quiet, Annie-san," Haruka prompted me.
I gave a shy look at Haruka and Makoto. "Well," I started. "I'm always like this when I meet new people. I'm sorry."
"It's ok. We don't bite." Haruka smiled. I felt a blush come onto my cheeks uncontrollabley. We continued our drive and came to the park. When we got there, Haruka said she would buy us all an ice cream.
"I'll have chocolate," I said. And Makoto ordered stawberry. Usagi...well she got a quadruple scoop with hot fudge, marshmellow sauce, rainbow and chocolate sprinkles, and nuts. One scoop was chocolate, one strawberry, one vanilla, and one mint. Haruka had a funny face while she was ordering this but later, as she watched Usagi eat it, she had admiration in her eyes.
"So," Usagi said. "Maybe we should go over our history together." Haruka and Makoto agreed. "Well it all started when I met Luna..." And she continued to tell me about how she first became Sailor Moon. Then she talked about finding the other senshi and defeating Beryl. After that she talked about meeting Chibiusa and finding out she was her future daughter with Mamoru. I found that interesting.
Haruka took over after that, talking about the pure heart crystals, the Death Busters, and the other outer senshi. Makoto told a little about Nehelania and the Dead Moon Circus. She mentioned a Pegasus and how Nehelania came to seek revenge and the world was almost doomed because Chibiusa completely disappeared.
Usagi took over to talk about the war with Galaxia. At this point Haruka got a disgusted look on her face. Is that because of Seiya maybe? Usagi said that as soon as Seiya and the other Lights came to Tokyo, Galaxia and the Animamates showed up as well as the Sailor Starlights. The Starlights were looking for their princess. She also said that Mamoru was in America the whole time or so they thought. His Star Seed was taken when he left. And for some reason, Seiya was very close to Usagi more than the others. She said that they were just really close friends in the end. I was surprised to hear that after my little spy job at the temple on the night I came to Tokyo. That's strange. I know there's more she's not telling me. Well, I can't really find out anything now.
Afterwards we were just talking about everyday life stuff until, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
"Someone's in trouble!" I said. "Looks like it's time to transform." The others nodded.
"Anonymous Crystal Power..."
"Jupiter Crystal Power..."
"Uranus Planet Power..."
"Moon Eternal..."
"MAKE UP!!"
We ran to where the screams came from. It was the guy selling the ice creeam we had just gotten. "Hey, Xlam!" I shouted. She turned around and looked at me like I was a mouse. "I can't forgive you for attacking a man who sells delicious things to all his customers! Agents of love and justice."
"Sailor Soldier Senshi!" Finished the others.
"Sailor Moon!"
"Sailor Anonymous!"
"Sailor Uranus!"
"Sailor Jupiter!"
"And in the name of our Solar System we'll punish you!" We all yelled together.
"Oh look," Xlam said in her hoarse voice. "It's the Sailor Brats! Have fun with the N-patient. Bye!" And she disappeared. These bad guys are getting worse and worse at comebacks.
The battle proceeded as usual.
"World Shaking!"
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!"
"Unknown Power Beam!"
The N-patient, Freezy, was shaped like an ice cream cone. It shot out ice cream cones at us (most of which Usagi ate). At one point I became cornered and Koino Kishi came to my rescue.
Finally Freezy was weak enough to use our final attack. "Celestial Power, Make UP!! Celestial Crystal Power Defeat!!"
"Peace out!!"
Once he was back to normal we dissappeared from the scene.
I know I didn't give much detail because I want to save space for the best chapter of my new life in Tokyo (in my opinion anyway).
