Chapter Two
Ami looked out of her balcony of her room a sigh escaped her lips. She looked at the happy citizens blissfully unaware of how safe they were by them and the Queen.
Ami shifted walking outside now was even hazardous they were famous, and in certain parts of the world and their own country wanted for their heads….
Another point event though the war was put on pause. Yes pause, this wasn't over. Looking outside the city gates to the outside of Tokyo. Wondering if any one ill needed to be tended to…
Ami turned around walked into her apartment which was like a loft in the castle, a floor higher than the queens and the others. She turned to look at herself in the mirror right above her fireplace, in the well stretched out comfy looking living room. The black leather couch wrapping around the oak wood floors to the brick handmade fireplace. The mirror loomed over her features.
She didn't even look eighty none of them did. She looked like she just turned thirty maybe.
They were 'immortal' in sense once the new senshi's took their place they could move on.
And Chiba Usa wasn't ready to still be Queen not yet she was already caught twice dancing on a high Tok'Cy Club roof enjoying the new pulsing techno around her. The Princess wanted to be a twenty year old girl not a Queen.
Her Queen let her enjoy her life like she once did with them.
There was a sudden ring …A electronic voice appeared.
"Yes Solar?" A cute nickname Minako gave it….then Ami helped program to respond too.
"Jupiter-sama wishes to speak with you…" The voice responded in a female high tech voice like on a GPS of an electric car.
"Oh I see well since she seems so serious tell her she may enter….." Ami teased Solar who made a beep sound and her doors slid open. The beautiful Makoto stood there in denim jeans and green T-shirt, beautiful auburn hair down showing it waviness and the curls at the end of it.
Ami then looked at her face, the lines on her lips and around her eyes showing her age, but hardly she seemed a little younger than Ami. Even though they were all the same age…or at least all looked the same age. Makoto could still be mistaken for being in her mid-twenties.
Maybe Because Makoto hasn't found her prodigy. Maybe.
"Hey Ami-chan…." She grinned walking to her swopping the woman in her long arms pulling her close.
Ami allowed herself to be whisked by the taller Makoto, kissing her nose then holding her cheek with one of her hands, "Hi Jupiter-sama…" She teased and giggled.
She watched Makoto's eyes close and her brow furrow, which meant she was showing mild annoyance about that. "Solar has been doing that all day I think she hates me…."
Ami smirked. "I'll take a look at that for you…" She then kissed Makoto fully on her lips this time. To which Makoto smiled and looked down at her.
"Mmm did I tell you how much I love you?" Makoto said looking at her grinning
"More than once this morning, twice this afternoon, five times this early evening, and once this late evening." Ami responded with a playful smile.
Makoto chuckled and let her arms slip walking over to the balcony, placing her hands on the rail, looking down at the shining city. She pointed to one of the places down below.
"I remember when that place use to be an arcade…now it's some high-tech malt bar…" She said softly.
Makoto didn't like how high tech the place was getting. Especially the new ways of communicating that copied the Senshi's tools to communicate.
The new micro ear phones that you placed in your ear tell you in a way that only you could hear, who was calling you and wear.
Or the visors that were like sunglasses, but could give you internet acess, accept calls, and send messages, and have mic system that could hear a pin dropping in a noisy club.
Then the wrist cell's, like normal watches, just a bit bulker. That acted like a normal cell phone, but on your wrist instead, with a virtual touch screen.
Ami remembered when having cell phones was a big deal. Of course they didn't think there gear would make the city a high tech utopia….
Ami walked behind Makoto putting her arms around her slender waste resting her head on her back, feeling the well placed muscles Makoto made back there, underneath her smooth perfect skin.
"How is Aya-chan?" Makoto asked…Ami could hear the slight ping of sadness of speaking her prodigy's name.
"She is doing well Makoto very well, smart and seems to controlling her abilities so far…a bit brash that sometimes reminds me a little of you back when we were younger…" Ami said softly, Ami was the first in the group to meet her prodigy Aya was a young girl already attending High School with the highest grade. Only age thirteen….
Even so unlike Ami as a young teenager, Aya head butt a boy insulting her causing his nose to bleed.
Yes Aya was different….And unlike most of the others found in Crystal Tokyo already use to the freshness of the seclude slice of the world.
Prodigies…Ami smirked when they were told the news that could not bare children for not medical, but much more complicated reasons.

"Wait what do you mean we can't have children!? Usagi did!" Rei shocked and angry.
Luna and Artemis looked at each other than at Rei. "It's complicated…Usagi was destined to have a child you see…." Luna responded.
"But neither of you weren't…" Artemis finished.
Makoto crossed her arms as Ami placed her hands on the table looking at them. Minako looked up at the ceiling. The Outer Senshi, Haruka and Michuri together in their house sitting on one of their sofa's both seemed to have sad looks. Hotaru and Setusna were in a car driving somewhere in Europe. All their faces on virtual pop screens in the new round table meeting center. The room was massive with a dome ceiling TV Screens on the walls, guards, guarding the outside doors to the area.
"Wow Haruka and I knew we could never really have children but were hoping of other options…" Michuri said sitting on the couch as Haruka leaned forward placing a hand on her lover's.
"Well before you all get befuddled think of it like this…." Luna said jumping on the table.
"You can still carry a child, raise them, but now that you are all aging rapidly slow…your children will look fifty and you will still probably look the way you are now…what will happen when you bury your own children? From age affecting them?" Luna said this sitting there, looking at the ones sitting around the table and the screen. Artemis joined sitting beside her
Minako was looking at the two cats "I never thought of it that way…."
Rei grew silent too… her rant ending quietly.
"The powers of the planets do not work genetically they are chosen…. by the powers that host them like they did too you…" Artemis
Makoto coughed. "I thought royal blood affected us?"
Artemis shook his head. "Not exactly many of you were chosen out of planet of your kind then taken in by the royalty of the Moon Kingdom. Usagi and Mamrou are the only ones that had powers given to them by blood…. And Mamrou is only given immortality due to his destine love for the Queen and the fact he is the father of Chiba…"
"Who Knows due to his true role being played maybe he will soon age and fade…" Artemis said solemnly.
"That's a sick thought…" Rei said in a harsh whisper.
"The Queen knows this….she also knows once Chiba takes her place she will have to become eternal light and spread through the universe….same as all of you…it's an honor not a curse…." Luna said looking at all of them as they looked at each other and back at her.
"Well except for Hotaru and Setsuna that is…" Aretmis corrected her.
"Wait what makes those two so special?" Makoto asked looking at them with apologetic look trying not to sound too harsh. Setsuna nodded to her and smiled seeming to understand.
"Setsuna is the keeper of time and not just a senshi…Hotaru is the keeper of death and life. Setsuna is roughly agless…." Luna said softly. "And Hotaru will just keep being reborn and reborn…."
"Oh….so kinda like the limbo people?" Minako said.
"In a sense yes…." Luna said to Minako looking at Hotaru and Setusna.
Hotaru shrugged. "Eh it's no big deal I already remember much of my past selves and Setsuna well she can travel anywhere in time…"
Setsuna smirked, but said nothing.
"Haruka and Michuri might actually have one person take both their roles since they are so close….." Luna said looking at the two lovers on the screen. They looked at each other and shrugged not minding this idea.
"Wait what are you talking about one person?" Ami asked once again they always seemed the last to know even the outer ones that would become eternal like them seemed to know…
"Oh right sorry…." Luna said turning to them. "I need to explain to you about something. The Queen's crystal is starting to glow…which means prodigies are waking up…."
"Prodigies?" The girls said together.
Luna sighed looking at Aretmis. "You can better explain this…" Aretmis nodded looking at all of them.
"The people you will train to take your place…" He said softly.

Ami opened her eyes, that night left her head spinning. Prodigies were people chosen at birth to host the powers they hold. Once they were found by the present senshi's like Usagi (The Queen) found them. They would then be unlocked and trained….But once they start to show to handle the power little things start to happen to the others.
They will start to show signs of age, they might generally lose more of their powers and soon will fade and disappear to join there Queen and leave them to watch Chiba…
But all of them were unique and what was surprising was there could be male senshi's (in sense they didn't know what to call them)
Minako's prodigy and the twins Michuri and Haruka train for example…
Ami and Rei's though where both female…
And also they all didn't have to be from Japan…
Minako found Rodric in France. A Spaniard boy; who seemed more interesting in women than protecting the world.
Haruka and Michuri found, Robert and Sean running through the safari water holes of South Africa, Robert playing with the water and splashing Sean blowing little tornadoes at his waters making rain.
Aya (her prodigy) found right here in Crystal Tokyo with brash personality if pushed too far and great mind…
Then Rei's who, was Shelia and American girl from California that was a local fire dancer in training…. Who seemed to have a worse temper than Rei-chan, if a man got too close or too confident.
But Makoto still hasn't found hers, she watched a bit envious sometimes as the others trained their prodigies. There was closenes... Makoto wanted it she also sometimes wondered if she would have to stay with them while the others left her…if Ami left her…
"Hey how about you stay in my room for the night Aya is visiting her father…so she won't be coming in my room anytime soon." Ami said softly.
Makoto turned to look at her and smiled leaning in placing a kiss on her lovers lips and nodded.
Ami smiled and lead Makoto to the bedroom closing the balcony doors.
It was 3am…Makoto was holding Ami close, tangled under her white silk covers with her. Hair tussled in every direction on Ami's soft pillows.
Ami held her breathe looking at her Lover, just wondering how a beautiful woman was right under her nose in her teen years.
Ami looked at that tired face probably stressing about her Queen and her prodigy that was out there somewhere. She cupped the beautiful woman's angel face kissing her nose.
Who Knows…maybe she or he was out there right under their noses like Aya was to her.
Ami sighed. "I know they are out there…Makoto don't worry.."
