As usual, I don't own Sailor Moon.
"Breathe, Mina, BREATHE!"
"I am breathing, Rei, I'm just in shock!" Mina yelled. Surprise, excitement, and nervousness flooded through her body. They were back! Yaten was back!
"But how-?" Mina's question was cut off by a great honking truck that was driving slowly onto the field. "The rest of the stage is here! Early! Oh, this day is starting to get better!"
"Here, lets go say hi to everyone while they get this all set up," Said Rei as she grabbed Minako's hand and began pulling her towards the stands.
"They are here?! Like, in-this-building here?!" Minako protested and tried to pull her hand from Rei's.
"Yes, now c'mon. You know you want to see him," Rei said with a sly wink at her friend. Mina reluctantly gave into her tugging and allowed herself to be led to the others. When she came closer to the stands, her eyes immediately searched for and found Yaten. He seemed a little taller, and stoic as ever, but his green eyes were eager and all to late Minako realized they were staring directly into hers. She blushed and let her gaze lower. She peeked up to see that he was grinning, as though pleased by the effect he could tell he was having on her. Mina blushed again, but this time in anger. She gave herself a mental shake. He left and thinks he can just have you grovel back to him? You are the Goddess of Love! Make him work for this, Minako!She lifted her head high and strode confidently up to the group.
"Seiya! Taiki! Long time no see! It's great to have you guys back on earth!" She gave them both big hugs.
"So you are the big idol nowadays? Does that mean we need to start chasing you around?" Seiya teased.
"Only if you want," Mina flirted back. Seiya and Taiki laughed.
"It's clear to see that you haven't changed much," Yaten said, stepping forward.
Minako eyed him, "That's the kettle calling the pot green."
All the girls dropped their heads in embarrassment. "Umm, Mina, I think you mean 'the kettle calling the pot black'," said Rei.
"Are you sure? Oh well," said Mina shrugging her shoulders as she turned toward Kakyuu and gave a small bow. "Kakyuu-hime, I hope your visit to Earth will be much more enjoyable this time around."
"I truly hope so; we seem to be off to a good start. My Lights know where I am and I am not hiding inside an incense burner," Kakyuu said smiling. Minako noticed that while Kakyuu spoke, she had clasped onto to Seiya's arm and he had turned his body toward her a little bit.
"So are you guys going to get back together as the Three Lights?" Mina asked.
"We haven't really discussed it yet," Said Taiki. "Though I suppose it may be necessary if we plan on having any money on this planet."
"Very true. Do you guys know where you plan to stay yet?"
"With you," Yaten said stiffly. He feelings were a little injured at the cold reception he had gotten from Minako. What the hell is with that girl?
Ami stepped up to clarify seeing the shocked look on Minako's face. "I offered, seeing as we have so much room, but I should have made sure it was all right with you first Mina. Forgive me." Ami gave a small bow towards Mina.
Mina quickly put her smile back in place. "No, that's a perfect idea, Ami. We do have plenty of space and it would be absurd to make them get a place of their own." She turned to their guests. "Of course you will stay with us! Maybe we can have a fun little get together after the concert tonight!"
"That sounds fun, as long as the concert doesn't go too late," said Makoto.
"It shouldn't. With the stage here early we will be able to do an actual run-through and then start the concert on time. Since we don't have someone opening it's just me and that should cut the time down to about two hours."
"Perfect, then I will show them to our home afterwards while you finish up here. That way they can settle into their room for a bit before you and everyone else show up." Said Ami.
A shout from the field was heard and everyone turned to see an angry looking woman marching towards the stands.
"Uh-oh! That's my make-up artist. I guess I was supposed to be in make-up about 5 minutes ago," Said Mina looking at her watch, "She hates it when I am late. Last time I was, she pulled my hair the entire time under the guise of 'brushing' it." Mina sprinted away from the group. When she was on the field, she turned and waved at everyone, "I hope you enjoy the show!"
Mamorou sat in his apartment thinking pensively about how to best lay his request in front of Usagi and the Senshi. They are going to be angry and they aren't going to like it. But the time has come. They were- ARE my best friends and I want them to be there on my wedding day. Maybe if I ask Usagi first, she can soften the blow for the scouts.
He sighed and stared out the window.
I'll ask tomorrow.
The Concert had been a big success! Minako had had so much energy and her voice had matured in ways Yaten had never thought possible when he had first heard her sing all those years ago. The choreographed numbers had run so smoothly, it was almost laughable to suggest that earlier that day they had been feverishly learning something new. Minako and her team had all taken many bows and were now exiting the stage, but the crowd wanted more.
"ENCORE! ENCORE!"
Minako was nearly off the stage when she turned back towards her fans with a wink. Her booming voice filled the stadium, "You guys are the best. I think we can do one more song-" whatever she said after that was drowned out by the deafening scream of hundreds of fans. Yaten covered his ears, annoyed.
"Is this really how loud people are out here? It never seemed this loud on the stage!" He shouted towards Seiya.
"I don't know, but she did do a killer job! No wonder they are so pumped!"
Minako was walking back towards the center of the stage, "This song next song was actually written many years ago. A few weeks ago, I was struggling with some writers' block and came across the beginnings of it in one of my old diaries. My friends Ami and Rei helped me give it life and now it is my next single. It's not supposed to be released until Friday, but I think I can give you give a preview!"
The crowd screamed in affirmation. Rei, Usagi, and Makoto were screaming excitedly while Ami blushed from the tips of her ears down to her collarbone. Taiki, who was standing next to her, leaned down to say, "I didn't know you helped her write her music."
"I don't. But one day I heard her singing and struggling with the words. I had an idea and she ran with it. I never thought she would make it her next single," Ami hid her face in her hands to hide her deep blush from Taiki, but he just looked at her amazed.
The lights in the stadium came down and a deep base reverberated throughout and then Mina was singing.
You're so hypnotizing Could you be the devil? Could you be an angel? Your touch magnetizing Feels like I am floating Leaves my body glowing
They say, be afraid You're not like the others Futuristic lover Different DNA They don't understand you
You're from a whole 'nother world A different dimension You open my eyes And I'm ready to go lead me into the light
Kiss Me, ki-ki-kiss me Infect me with your love and Fill with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me Wanna be a victim Ready for abduction Boy, you're an alien Your touch so foreign It's supernatural Extraterrestrial
You're so supersonic Wanna feel your powers Stun me with your lasers Your kiss is cosmic Every move is magic
You're from a whole 'nother world A different dimension You open my eyes And I'm ready to go lead me into the light
Kiss Me, ki-ki-kiss me Infect me with your love and Fill with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me Wanna be a victim Ready for abduction Boy, you're an alien Your touch so foreign It's supernatural Extraterrestrial
This is transcendental On another level Boy, You're my lucky Star I wanna walk on your wave length And be there when you vibrate For you, I'll risk it all
All
Kiss Me, ki-ki-kiss me Infect me with your love and Fill with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me Wanna be a victim Ready for abduction Boy, you're an alien Your touch so foreign It's supernatural Extraterrestrial
Extraterrestrial
Extraterrestrial
Boy, you're an alien Your touch so foreign It's supernatural Extraterrestrial
As Mina finished her song, the lights came down on stage and then turned off. When they came back on, she bowed and waved at her fans and then left the stage. In the stands her fans were going wild. People were screaming, cheering and yelling vainly in hopes of getting her back out on the stage. When she didn't reappear they slowly began to leave, still talking excitedly about the amazing show they had just seen.
"Wow!" Said Seiya, "If we do decide to become the Three Light's again, we need to write some songs with Mina!"
Yaten had been silent throughout the last song. Turning suddenly to Ami, he asked, "She said it was written many years ago. When was it written?"
Taiki listened intently as Ami carefully answered, "I believe she told me she began writing it shortly after the talent contest. But then she put it aside before the battle with Galaxia. She forgot about it after all of you left."
Yaten said nothing, and quietly followed after everyone as they exited the stadium.
They halted in a group just outside the stadium as everyone figured out what to do next.
"So I'll take Taiki, Kakyuu and Seiya in my car. Makoto can drive Usagi, Rei, and Yaten," Said Ami.
"Actually, I am riding with Mina, she doesn't like to drive alone at night," replied Rei.
"I'll stay with you," said Yaten unexpectedly. He seemed surprised even when the words left his mouth. "Two girls shouldn't be alone late at night," He said defensively, noting that everyone's eyes were on him.
"Are you implying Mina and Rei can't take care of themselves? I seem to remember Minako saying that they didn't need boys," said Seiya laughing at his brother as Yaten ground his teeth and Rei laughed at the memory. "But if you two are staying here, I think Kakyuu and I will ride with Makoto and Usagi. It will surely make for an interesting ride."
"You have no idea," said Makoto winking at Seiya, "I drive like a bat out of hell."
"I hope you remember what seat belts are and how to use them. You will definitely use them!" Rei snorted.
"If it is all right with you, I think I will still go with you, Ami." Taiki said eyeing the others a little fearfully.
"Okay," said Ami in a small voice.
"All right, we'll bring Mina home when she's done, but don't be afraid to start the party without us!" Shouted Rei as the others began to move away towards their cars.
She led Yaten back inside the stadium and backstage. She stopped in an empty hallway and seemed to be checking to see whether anyone was coming. Confused, Yaten looked at the back of Rei's head and asked, "What are we doing here?"
Rei rounded on him with a hard look in her eye, "You have a lot of explaining to do."
So what do you guys think? Read and Review! Also, the song was "E.T." By Katy Perry and I don't own that either!
