Dr. Betrayal of the heart
Chapter twenty-two: Mimete's dilemma
Usagi was having a meeting at the mansion and the woman were discussing whether or not Demando was going to propose. Usagi was cooking and trying to feed the twins at the same time. The teens were in the other room watching TV.
"Usagi, do you need any help?" Makoto asked. Usagi nodded.
"That'd be great, thanks" She said, as Makoto took the bowl from her and continued stirring, while Usagi continued feeding her kids.
Meanwhile, On the TV, Araki, an famous idol, was talking about how he was searching for a normal girl to play the heroine in his next movie. Soiya giggled and quickly wrote down the time and place of the audition. Serenity sighed and shook her head. Araki went on to say the girls should bring a swimsuit and that he couldn't wait to spend this summer with one lucky girl. Serenity turned the TV off and Soiya huffed a little, in surprised.
In the lab, Professor Tomoe was doing some measurements and started talking to Mimete.
"Do you have another target?" He asked her.
"Yes. My next target is Araki Jinta" She replied.
"Mimete, I've been noticing that most of your targets have been famous people" He said sighing, tapping his pencil on the desk. "Perhaps you should not mix your work with your hobbies" Mimete started to cry and Professor Tomoe gave her a hug. "I'm just worried about you're future" He told her. Mimete nodded, wiped her tears and left the lab.
While Usagi and the women were discussing important issues, Soiya snuck out to go to the audition.
At the audition, Soiya asked someone when Araki will arrive.
"He's not coming today" The woman replied. "He'll show up for tommorow's round though"
Mimete was behind her, very upset.
"Hi, I'm Hanyu Mimi" She said, introducing herself.
"Soiya" Soiya said. "Are you here for the audition too?" Mimete nodded. Soon it was time to start. When it was Soiya's turn, the judges asked a series of questions.
"What would happen, if we needed you to do a kissing scene?" One judge asked. Soiya thought about Minako and Zoicite and what they would say. She smirked.
"I'd make sure my parents wached something else" She said, grinning. The judges laughed.
"What if the director asked you out on a date?" another judge asked. Soiya grinned.
"I'll eat just about anything" She said. When it was Mimete's turn, she got so nervous that she couldn't answer, but something about her made the judges pass her through.
After the question session, they picked the 5 to go to the next round. Soiya and Mimete were in the group.
Mimete was in the Death Busters locker room, worrying about what would happen if she won.
"Well I can't lose, not with these looks" She muttered to herself. She began to imagine herself at a concert, where everyone was screaming her name, and the professor was in the back. He started talking to her, and she woke up and he's checking her for a fever. He told her it would be bad for his best worker to get sick. Now, Mimete was torn between being an idol, or taking Araki's heart crystal. This might be her big chance, but if she didn't take his pure heart, she'd betray her organization.
She remembers what Soiya and the Professor said, and said that she can put the Death Busters on hold and go after her dream. But she had to be sneaky about it.
Araki was at the audition the next day, and announced that the winner would be chosen if 80% of the audience chose one person. Soiya went backstage to wait for her turn when Artemis showed and talked to her. The audience voted for the first person and she lost.
"What will happen if you win?" Artemis asked. Soiya shrugged.
"I'll still do my duty" She replied.
Mimete walked in and was mumbling to herself about how she had an egg that morning for breakfast. Then, segways into how she didn't want to be anything but an actress. Then Soiya wished her luck, and went onstage.
Soiya was on stage, and Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna were in the back watching. The audience voted for her, but she didn't get enough votes. Mimete was next and she was nervous again. Soiya was happy though she didn't win, because she got to see Araki. Then Araki came up and talked to her, making her really happy.
Mimete, was talking about having breakfast and being an actress. The audience voted and she was over 80% and she was really happy. She looked at Araki and he smiled at her. Tears filled her eyes.
"I can't" She whispered. "I can't" She braved a smiled and hurried back stage, where she collapsed into a heap and began to cry. Soiya went over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"What's wrong Mimi?" She asked. Mimete looked up and showed Soiya her true form. She told Soiya that the other witches would come after her if they found out, but that she didn't want to take heart crystals anymore. She wanted to be an idol and she was happy that she had won. She did not know that Soiya was Sailor Celestial Venus.
"I don't know what to do" Mimete said. Soiya put her arms around Mimete.
"So, you've decided to abandon us" Came an angry voice. Soiya and Mimete turned to see another one of the witches, Tellu. Soiya transformed and called the others on her comunicator.
"Leave Mimete alone" Sailor Celestial Venus declared. Tellu grinned.
"I don't think so!" She said. "Mimete, did you forget your mission" Mimete scowled.
"I don't want to be evil anymore" She declared. "Life is so much more peaceful" Tellu scowled and tried to kill Mimete with one of her plants, but Sailor Celestial Venus jumped in front of the other woman and the plant began strangling her. Suddenly, a red rose sliced the vine that was choking Celestial Venus. Tellu swore loudly, as she saw all the scouts.
"No fair" She said. She turned to Mimete. "I will get you. You're life is forfeit" She disapeared, leaving Mimete trembling. Celestial Venus explained to the others what had happened, and about Mimete winning the competition and stopping her evil quest. Mimete told them that they continued stealing heart crystals to feed the great evil, though they had yet to suceed in actually getting one, thanks to the Sailor Scouts.
"Can you take us to thier base?" Princess Cosmos asked. Mimete trembled a bit, then nodded. She told them that needed to know what they were up against and that her boss was not really the one in charge.
