The Sailor Scouts' Plan Part 2
"Well, yes, yes, but will we have to feed it?" Lita asked.
"And wash it and dress it and rock it to sleep, oh I'd love it." Raye said.
"You really think we can?" Lita asked curiously.
"I know we can! Granted," Mina sighed. "we won't have access to our powers."
Lita & Raye forked over their transformation pens to Mina, "Okay." they sighed reluctantly.
"Come along now, we must tell their majesties at once." Mina said.
So the king and his queen watched with heavy hearts as their most precious possession, their only child, disappeared into the night.
Many sad and lonely years passed by for King Darien, Queen Serena, and their people.
But as the time for the princess's fourteenth birthday drew near, the entire kingdom began to rejoice.
For everyone knew that as long as Queen Beryl's domain, the Dark Kingdom palace, thundered with her wrath and frustration, her evil prophecy had not yet been fulfilled.
Queen Beryl was in her palace.
"It's incredible, fourteen years and not a trace of her! She couldn't have vanished into thin air! Are you sure you searched everywhere?" Queen Beryl asked her bewitching demon servants.
"Yeah, yeah, anywhere, we all..." a bewitching demon answered Queen Beryl.
"Yeah, yeah!" another servant added.
"But what about the town, the forests, the mountains?" Queen Beryl asked her bewitching demon servants.
"We searched mountains, forests, and houses, and let me see, in all the cradles." the first bewitching demon servant answered Queen Beryl.
"Cradle?" Queen Beryl asked her servants.
"Yeah, yeah," another bewitching demon said. "every cradle."
Now, Queen Beryl was getting angry.
"Cradle? Did you hear that my pet," the evil queen asked her rabbit monkey. "all these years, they've been looking for a baby! Oh, oh, ha, ha, ha..."
The servants all joined in laughing.
"Ha, ha, ha..." the servants laughed.
Queen Beryl stopped laughing and quickly grew angrier.
"Fools! Idiots! Imbeciles!" Queen Beryl yelled angrily.
"Let's get out of here!" the servants gasped as Queen Beryl zapped them with her staff.
The servants quickly left.
Now, Queen Beryl was left all alone with her rabbit monkey.
"Oh, they're hopeless, a disgrace to the forces of evil," Queen Beryl sighed now feeling exhausted. "my pet, you are my last hope, travel far and wide, search for a maid of fourteen with hair of sapphire blue and lips red as the rose, go, and do not fail me."
The rabbit monkey then took off to do his master's bidding.
And so for fourteen long years the whereabouts of the princess remained a mystery, while deep in the forest, in a woodcutter's cottage, the good sailor scouts carried out their well laid plan.
Living like humans, they had reared the child as their own and called her Amy Kate.
Amy was in her bed fast asleep.
"One more dance, Dear Prince, just one more..." Amy said in her sleep, she was a somniloquist.
The bright sunlight shone through Amy Kate's bedroom window as she opened her blue eyes.
On this her fourteenth birthday the good sailor scouts had planned a party and something extra special for a surprise.
That morning, Mina, Raye, and Lita were down in the living room looking at pictures of gowns that would be perfect for a princess.
"How about this one?" Lita asked Mina & Raye, pointing at a picture of a gown with short puffy sleeves.
"This is the one I picked," Mina said to Lita & Raye, pointing at a picture of a gown with puffy long sleeves that would show Amy's shoulders.
"Oh she'll look beautiful in that." Raye said.
"Now I thought a few changes here..." Mina said.
"Aha." Lita said.
"Don't forget a pretty bow..." Raye said.
"And there's the shoulder line." Mina added.
"We'll make it light blue." Lita added.
"Oh no, dear, tan." Mina corrected Lita.
"But..." Lita began.
"Of course, we'll need a few pleats." Mina added.
"Yes, but how are we going to get her out of the house?" Raye whispered to Mina curiously.
