Chapter 4
Mars' Memories and Fiance
I do not own Sailor Moon.
Thank you for reading.
Probably thought it would be Mina but I chose Rei because in the previous story she trusted but Venus never got that far with Sailor Moon.
"They know something." Rei thought as she knelt before the Sacred Fire. "Sacred Fire, guide me and show me which path to walk." She prayed. She stared at the vision which had a De-ja vu (Did I spell this correctly?) feeling to it. (The dream/memory in some cases from Right in of Their Faces)
She wept silent tears for doubting her. And for doubting him. How could she have doubted them? "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for doubting." She gasped as tears ran down her face. "You are forgiven Lady Mars." Usagi said smiling gently. Rei flung herself onto Usagi. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She sobbed. "Shh. Here's your present." Usagi said handing her a scroll. It was on a red piece of silk with a purple cord. Usagi teleported. Rei unrolled the scroll. There Jadeite was under her window offering her a small bouquet of lilies tied with ivy while she leaned out to accept it. They were smiling so peaceful. She stroked the paper. The happy-go-lucky Shitennou of the East. Walking in the Gardens. Stolen kisses in secluded corners. Praying. Courting. Engagement. The secret marriage. Usagi. Fighting Beryl and healing the Shitennou. Mamoru. The Rainbow Crystals and the Silver Crystal. The Outer Senshi. When she turned to ask a question she saw Usagi was gone.
The girls were walking to the Arcade like always to meet Mamoru. After they met up with him and were talking she was silent. "Is something wrong Rei?" Mina asked. Rei looked up and opened her mouth. "Go ask. She probably knows where he is." Lita said leaning back. Rei shot out the door leaving her things behind in a hurry.
Mina blinked. Mamoru's mouth was hanging open. "What just happened?" Mamoru asked regaining speech. "Rei ran out the door." Ami said stating the obvious. Mamoru's eye twitched. "Yeah but why?" He asked. "Because she has some questions for Serenity." Lita said drinking her milkshake. "Where is Serenity?" Luna asked. "At her house." Ami said sipping her tea when hands covered her eyes. She jumped. "Sorry Nymph." Zachary said sheepishly removing his hands. Ami just blinked. "Ready to go?" He asked smirking. Ami nodded and grabbed her school bag. "Bye guys." Ami said getting up. "Have fun!" Lita said waving her spoon. They left.
"Ok, what's going on Lita?" Mina asked staring after them. "It's the scrolls. Rei received one yesterday." Lita said gathering her stuff. She checked her watch. "I got to go. I have a date in five minutes." Lita said and she walked out the door. "That was weird." Mamoru commented.
Rei knocked. The girl with the gun answered. "Is Usagi home?" Rei asked anxiously. The girl opened the door wider. Usagi was sewing. "Hello Lady Mars. Come, Renity's upstairs." She said laying the needlework down. They walked up the stairs. "Renity, Lady Mars has come to visit." Usagi announced to the empty room. Rei peered around. She felt more than one other presence but couldn't see anyone. Serenity stepped out of the mirror. Rei jumped. Serenity grinned. "Jed, get out here already." Serenity called to the mirror. Jadeite stepped out. "Hey Firefly." He smiled. She sniffed. "I'll talk to you later Mars and don't tell Venus, Luna, Artemis, or Endy so Jed why don't you-"Serenity started. "Give her the stuff back first Renity." Usagi interrupted. Serenity pouted. "You didn't have to interrupt me Sere." "You forgot the last two times I didn't." Usagi retorted. Rolling her eyes Serenity handed Rei her weapons. "Now Jed take Rei home." She ordered. Jadeite smirked. "My pleasure, Princess." He said bowing mockingly before offering his arm to Rei. She took it scowling though secretly pleased.
"So what are you called nowadays?" She asked after a comfortable silence. "Jason East." He had been (unsuccessfully) trying to retrieve the ring for five minutes now. He finally found the blasted thing. He took her hand. Her eyes narrowed and she opened her mouth to say something when she noticed he'd just handed her something. She looked at the ring in her hand. It was the ring. Her ruby ring. The engagement ring he had given her. She stared up at him for a moment before handing it back to him. He looked at her with his brow furrowed. She smiled and held out her hand. He looked at her in disbelief. She nodded encouragingly and he slipped it back onto the fourth finger on her left hand. She giggled. He swept her up for a kiss when Mina interrupted.
"Hey Rei! I have all your stuff." She said brightly. "Thanks Mina." She said not letting on she was disappointed and collecting her stuff. Mina spotted the ring on her finger. "Don't tell me you have a fiancé too." She groaned. Rei raised an eyebrow. "What's it to you?" She asked. "Well I'm the Goddess of Love and I can't keep a guy to save my life and the rest of you are engaged." Mina pouted. Rei rolled her eyes. Jason smiled. He gave Rei a quick kiss on the cheek whispering in her ear, "I got to go meet the guys. See you again Firefly." He left waving.
"Even the Pyro got herself a man. What is wrong with me?" Mina asked. Before Rei could retort there were screams from the Park. They took a look at each other and took off running.
When they arrived the droid had already attacked several people. "Hold it!" The droid turned to stare at them for a moment and turned back to attacking people. Venus sputtered in disbelief. "Don't use too much energy Lady Mars." Lady Serenity called appearing in midair behind them. Mars nodded. "Burning Mandala!" The droid turned to the pile of dust. "How come everyone can kill these things easily except me?" Venus pouted. "You must believe. Hold faith." Lady Serenity said before fading. (Actually teleported but looks like she faded)
