Chapter 2
Mercury's Memories and Fiancé
I do not own Sailor Moon.
Thank you for reading.
I know I named the Shitennou in Right in of Their Faces but I'm going to rename them.
"What's this emergency meeting about?" Lita asked as she climbed the temple steps. Ami was already there calmly reading with Luna on her lap and Rei was viciously sweeping steps. Darien started coming up. Ten minutes later Mina came up with her eyes closed and Artemis hanging off her shoulders. "What is this about?" Mina asked yawning. "Am I the only that received a memory yesterday?" Rei asked. "I had a weird dream yesterday." Ami volunteered. "Me too." Lita said. "I did." Darien said. "Ditto." Mina said cheerfully. "Could you move by your own free will?" Rei asked. They all shook their head. "Then it was a memory. What was yours about?" Rei asked Ami who turned pink.
"It's personal." Ami said turning scarlet. "Mine too." Lita said dreamily. "Ditto." Mina chirped. "Me too." Darien continued. "Same for me." Rei finished. "Did you have the second dream?" Ami asked. They all nodded. "It doesn't really matter. If Sailor Moon thinks we're going to trust her, then she's crazy." Rei said. "I trust her." Ami said softly. All heads turned to her. "What?!" Mina asked. "I'm not sure why but I trust her." Ami repeated.
Usagi came up the steps with the guys from yesterday. "Excuse me the Temple is closed." Rei said. "I thought the Temple opened at ten." Usagi said raising an eyebrow. "It does." Rei said shortly. "It is ten fifteen." Usagi said. Rei checked her watch. It was ten fifteen. The girls got up. Darien looked up to where Phobos and Deimos were circling in the air. The group left to examine the cherry blossoms on the other side of the Temple grounds. The Shitennou teleported onto the grounds. Rei threw scrolls at them. They simply peeled them off.
"I see you didn't listen to me." Sailor Moon said watching amused from a tree branch. They all looked up as she dropped down. "Well introductions I guess come first. Meet Jadeite, Nephrite, Zoisite, and Kunzite." Sailor Moon said dusting herself off. "Anyway I have a present for Lady Mercury." Sailor Moon said handing out a rolled up scroll tied with a silk cord. "I suggest you open it at home." She added before leaping away. There was an awkward silence. "Shitennou, I wish to speak with you. The silvery voice called floating through the grounds. The guys teleported. The girls separated and went home. Mamoru did the same.
The house was empty like usual. Ami brushed her hair before retying it into its bun. She glanced at the scroll. It was blue silk tied by a white silk cord. She unrolled it hesitantly. She gasped. There on the paper was a picture of her with Zoisite. Someone had drawn a picture of the two of them. She sat in his lap with a book which lay forgotten as they shared a kiss. The work was done with elegant brush strokes. (Paint not ink) She gasped as she touched it. Memories assaulted her. The intelligent Shitennou from Earth. Chess matches. Swimming. Guard duty. Courting. Their engagement. Pushing Serenity away to spare her pain. The end of the Silver Millennium. Usagi. Fighting Beryl and healing the Shitennou. The Rainbow Crystals and the Silver Crystal. The Outer Senshi. Ami sat down and cried. Luna came in. "What's wrong Ami?" Luna asked. Ami just rolled the scroll up. "What's in there?" Luna asked. Ami just shook her head. She suddenly ran out the front door clutching the scroll.
Ami knocked nervously. The pink haired girl opened the door. "Hello. May I speak with Usagi?" She said wiping her tears away. The girl opened the door widely. She stepped in. "Usagi!" The little girl yelled. "What is it Small Lady?" Usagi asked coming down the stairs. She stopped when she saw Ami. "We'll talk upstairs." Usagi said motioning for Ami to follow her.
"Renity, Ami's here." Usagi said to the empty room. Ami peered around in confusion. Serenity stepped out from the mirror. "Ami! It's been a while." Serenity said sitting down and motioning the others to do the same. "Zoi, why don't you join us?" Serenity asked. Zoisite stepped out from the mirror and spied Ami. He smirked. She blushed and looked away. "First, we still have your Crystals and your weapons. Secondly, you are not to tell the others. Lastly, the pink-haired girl known as Rini or Small Lady is our future daughter from the thirtieth century Crystal Tokyo. You can ask me questions later ok?" Usagi asked. Ami nodded. "Also I don't want you to push me away again like last time. Is that understood?" Serenity asked. Ami nodded again. "Zoi, why don't you walk Ami home?" Serenity asked. Zoisite smirked again. Ami turned scarlet.
"So you know my name in this life but what's yours?" Ami asked as they walked. "Zachary North." He responded smiling. "So Nymph what do you think of the Princess living in a mirror?" He asked smiling. "I think it's rather clever." Ami said. The two spent the rest of their time debating the pros and cons of living in a mirror. They were laughing together when a very loud outburst interrupted. "AMI!" Mina yelled waving her arms. "What's wrong? What was in that scroll? Luna said you ran out crying." Lita asked concerned. "It's nothing." Ami said looking at Zachary. "Who's your friend Ames?" Mina asked nudging her. Ami blushed again. "Nymph as cute as I think it is if you blush even more you'll put a tomato to shame even though I know you'll say a tomato is an inanimate object and cannot feel." Zachary chuckled. Ami turned redder. Luna landed on Amy's shoulder. "Well then Nymph, I'll leave you to talk with your friends and see you tomorrow." He called waving as he walked away.
"Oh my gosh! He's so hot! Who is he Ami?" Mina asked. Ami blushed. "My fiancé." She said looking down. "You have a fiancé?!" Rei asked. Ami nodded. Luna cleared her throat. "What is it Luna?" Lita asked. "What was in that scroll Ami?" Luna asked. "Nothing." Ami said hurriedly avoiding their eyes. "Ami as your leader I command you to show us that scroll." Mina said seriously now that it was Senshi business. "I think the Princess outranks you." Ami said thinking of the scroll hidden in the subspace pocket. The girls gasped. "You know where the Princess is?" Rei asked in disbelief. Ami nodded. "I will not tell you where. I would trust Sailor Moon with her life." Ami added. Luna hissed in disbelief.
"Good job Lady Mercury. I believe you were ready to receive these but Renity was too distracted with match making." Sailor Moon said dropping down from who knows where. "I was not." The silvery voice protested. "I think Sailor Moon would know if you were or not Princess." Ami said amused. "Don't you dare go all formal on me!" The silver voice indignantly. "Ok, ok." Ami said holding up her hands. Sailor Moon handed Mercury her computer, harp, and Crystal. "You have our Crystals do you not?" Luna asked with narrowed eyes. Sailor Moon nodded. "With my permission." Serenity's voice cut in. "You can't trust her Serenity." Mina said. "That means I can't trust you." Serenity said harshly. "Why? We're your Senshi. Not her." Rei cut in. "We pushed her away." Ami said quietly. Lita heard and thought. "Sere, I want to talk to you." Serenity's voice said. Sailor Moon teleported. "Lady Serenity. The phantom warrior." Ami muttered. Nobody heard.
That night Ami dreamed. "Zoisite where are we?" Mercury asked. There was mist and Zoisite. He shrugged. "So are we still engaged? Because I told my friends you were fiancé." Mercury asked. He chuckled. "If that's what you want then we're still engaged." He said smiling. He slipped a familiar sapphire ring onto her finger. She tilted her head. "What is it?" He asked. She smiled and pulled him into a kiss. "So sorry to interrupt but I want to clear some things." Usagi said. The two of them broke apart jumping away from each other. Zoisite was smirking and Mercury was red. "Ami, I did promise to answer your questions so ask away." Usagi said sitting on a chair that had appeared. A love seat appeared for them. They sat down.
"You were Lady Serenity weren't you?" Mercury asked. "Lady Serenity?" Zoisite asked puzzled. Usagi's eyes clouded over. "Lady Serenity, the phantom warrior. Yes that was me." Usagi said smiling. "Who?" Zoisite asked. "The person who arrived to foil schemes that endangered the Princess and then vanished." Mercury informed him. "Saved my life thousands of times." Serenity said pulling up a chair. A table appeared. Serenity poured the tea and handed cups around. "Who is the new enemy?" Mercury asked. "The Black Moon Clan have attacked the thirtieth century and are attacking the twenty-first century to get Small Lady or Rini." Usagi said adding some cream. "Why didn't we remember and the cats don't remember?" Mercury asked. "My wish." Serenity said. "The Silver Crystal granted our wish that everything would return to the way it was." Usagi explained. Everything started to fade. "Helios was kind to allow me to interrupt everyone's dreams the number of the times I did and must do. You must wake now." Serenity said looking around. Ami and Zachary woke up in their beds. Ami still had the ring.
"Ami honey where did you get that ring?" Doctor Mizuno asked. "From my fiancé." Ami said blushing. "You have a fiancé?" Ami nodded. "I must meet him." Doctor Mizuno said looking at her daughter wondering when she got engaged. Luna glared at Ami. There was a knock on the door. Ami went to answer it. She squealed as she was lifted into a kiss. Her mother looked to see what was going on then ducked back smiling. When they broke apart Ami smiled. "Who is it Ami?" Doctor Mizuno called. Ami blushed. She led Zachary to her mother. "Mom, it's my fiancé." Ami said shyly. "You look like a nice young man. You better take good care of her." She said sternly to Zachary who grinned. "I intend to." He replied. "So when's the wedding?" Doctor Mizuno asked. Ami blushed even more. "Whenever she wants." Zachary said looking at Ami. "Not for a year or two." Ami said smiling. "Go off and have fun. I always told you to get out more." Ami's mother said winking and pushed them out the door.
