"Damn her! Why the hell is she so incredibly stupid!" Saturn shouts as they come to a stop in a clearing full of the bodies of dead animals.
"Well, you know this is your fault as well. You know how Nemesis feels about you, yet you purposely do things that make her angry." Uranus says, looking at Saturn, who sighs.
"I just wish for once she would actually THINK about what she's doing!" Saturn says, motioning to the motionless bodies scattered about the clearing.
"Well, why don't you tell HER that." Uranus says, motioning toward one of the trees. Saturn looks in the direction she's pointing, only to see Nemesis sitting in a tree, slicing leaves out of the tree. Saturn sighs as she walks toward the tree. She stops in front of it, and looks up in it.
"What do you want?" Nemesis demands, looking down at Saturn, who sighs, and jumps into the tree.
"Look, I know you're mad at me, but you really need to keep your anger under control. If you keep up the way you could end up hurting." Saturn says. Nemesis looks at her before sighing.
"Sorry. It's just that….well, you were protecting that Moon brat." Nemesis says. Saturn sighs, and places a short kiss on Nemesis' lips. "What in the world." Nemesis mutters, looking at Saturn in confusion.
"What, can't I give you an I'm-sorry kiss?" Saturn asks, sticking her tongue out playfully.
"Yeah, by all means. It just surprised me a little." Nemesis says.
Meanwhile, Michelle sitting on a railing.
"So, that's Sailor Nemesis." Amy says, looking at Michelle.
"Yeah, that's her." Michelle says with a sigh.
"What's her problem, anyway?" Raye demands. Michelle looks at Raye before looking at Serena.
"She's jealous." Michelle says with a slight smile on her face.
"Of what?" Lita questions.
"Why are you LOOKING at me like that?" Serena demands, looking at Michelle with confused eyes.
"It's you Nemesis is jealous of." Michelle says, shaking her head.
"M….me?" Serena's eyes widen. "W….why me?" she asks. Michelle looks at her.
"Because you've achieved what other were not able to. Nemesis saw this, and it set her on edge." Michelle says, playing with a piece of her hair.
"And what might that be?" Mina demands, glaring at Michelle for not giving them a straight answer.
"Tame Saturn." Michelle says with a sigh. The other's eyes widen.
"She's angry over that little thing?" Lita asks. Michelle looks at her.
"It's not a little thing to the two of them." Michelle says. "You see…"
"We made a pact with we were mere children that even though we're part of the Princess' Guardian Scouts, we would not join you guys." a voice says from behind them. They turn to see none other than Saturn and Uranus.
"How did it go?" Michelle asks as she walks up to Uranus, and inspects the small cut on her hand.
"Well, she's calmed down a lot." Uranus says as she winces. Saturn sighs.
"She should be silent until tonight." Saturn says. Everyone looks at her in surprise and confusion. "You'll understand soon enough." she says as she looks at the brightening sky.
About half an hour later, they see a figure walking toward them. Saturn smiles as she gets to her feet, and walks a few steps forward.
"About time!" Saturn says as she hugs the girl.
"Sorry. It took longer than I thought it was going to." the girl says. She smiles when Michelle and Uranus walk up to her. "Hey guys!" she says as she clasps hands with Uranus.
"It's been a while." Uranus says with a grin on her face.
"Um…guys? Who is she?" Serena asks, walking up next to Michelle.
"Nemesis." Saturn says, smiling warmly. Serena's eyes widen as she quickly walks back about ten feet, only to have the other scouts step in front of her.
"Why is it that you welcome such a being?" Mina demands, looking at Uranus and Michelle with something close to contempt.
"You guys have it all wrong." Michelle says, looking at them with pleading eyes.
"What do we have wrong? Are you telling me that we were imagining what happened last night?" Raye questions. Nemesis looks at them with understanding eyes.
"I know it's hard to understand when you don't understand what my planet is like….it's just…" Nemesis begins, only to fall short when she can't find the right words.
"Oh, we understand it perfectly!" Raye shouts. Nemesis looks at her in surprise.
"You….do?" Nemesis asks. Raye looks at her.
"You threaten our princess, and now you want us to forgive you." Raye says in a confident voice. Nemesis shakes her head.
"You are wrong. That is not what I was going to say at all!" Nemesis says, shaking her head. "I do not wish to have ANYONE from the Inner Solar System forgive me." she says, raising her head as her pride shows.
"Nemesis…" Saturn cautions, placing a hand against Nemesis' arm.
"I know." Nemesis says, sighing. She turns, and looks at Uranus. "So, what do you say? Want to have a quick showdown?" she asks. Uranus looks at her for a moment before shrugging.
"Why not." Uranus says as she holds her hand out, and grasps the handle of the dagger that had just appeared in front of her. Nemesis smiles as she holds her hand out as well. Serena gasps when she sees the difference in the scythe.
"What's wrong, Serena?" Lita asks. Serena points toward the sword.
"It looks nothing like the scythe from earlier!" Serena says as she looks toward Saturn, who had begun to tap her foot on the ground in irritation. Serena's eyebrows furrow. She walks toward Saturn, only to step when Michelle looks at her and shakes her head.
"What's wrong with her?" Serena asks Michelle as she walks by Serena.
"She's a tad bit jealous." Michelle says with a strange light to her eyes. Serena ponders over what Michelle had said as Michelle walks up to Saturn.
"Hey, Saturn." Michelle says as she pats Saturn's arm.
"I cannot BELIEVE her! I mean, why did she have to challenge Uranus RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!" Saturn says, glaring at Nemesis, who dodges a blow from Uranus.
"Maybe she's trying to make you jealous. I mean, you did basically the same thing to her earlier." Michelle says after a moment of contemplating what to tell Saturn. Saturn looks at her with contempt.
"What would you do if Amara did that to YOU?" Saturn questions, looking at Michelle with questioning eyes. Michelle's eyes darken with the thought before her usual smile returns.
"Oh, I don't know. It would all depend on the WITH WHO part." Michelle says, shrugging. Saturn looks at her in surprise.
"Really?" Saturn asks in a stunned voice. Michelle nods. "Hm…." Saturn mutters, leaning against the wall.
Meanwhile, Serena had walked back to the others.
"Does anyone else get the idea that something strange is going on between the four of them?" Mina asks, looking at Serena and Michelle.
"That's because there is." Luna says as she jumps on Serena's shoulder. They all look at her in surprise.
"What do you mean? What could be going on?" Serena asks. Luna shakes her head.
"The Outer Solar System Scouts have always been kind of strange." Luna says, looking pointedly at Lita.
"Hey! What do I have to do with this?" Lita demands. Luna smiles.
"You're actually part of the Outer Solar System." Luna says. They all look toward Nemesis and Uranus when they hear a huge bang. Serena runs toward them when she sees Nemesis standing over Uranus, only to stop when she sees that Saturn and Michelle aren't moving.
"What are you doing? Shouldn't you be DOING something?" Serena demands, motioning toward Nemesis. Both Saturn and Michelle look at her in confusion.
"What are you talking about?" Michelle asks. Serena motions toward Nemesis and Uranus. Both Saturn and Michelle look over.
"Why would we get in the middle of their little blow ups?" Saturn asks, looking at Serena in confusion.
"Oh, I don't know…maybe because they look like they want to kill each other?" Serena questions, looking at Saturn with horrified eyes.
"Oh, don't worry. They would never do something like that. They used to do this every time they saw each other." Michelle says, tapping Serena on the shoulder.
"You people are strange." Serena says, shaking her head. Michelle and Saturn smile at each other.
"More than you know." Michelle says while Saturn nods. The three of them turn to look at the two when they hear laughing.
"That was exhilarating!" Uranus says as she drapes her arm over Nemesis' shoulder.
"I agree. It's been far too long since we had a simple Dyux." Nemesis says as she rubs a finger across her cut cheek. The two of them walk up to Saturn and Michelle, only for Saturn to hit Nemesis over the head.
"Hey, Saturn!" Nemesis shouts as she runs toward Saturn. Michelle and Amara look at each other before laughing.
"Well, nothing like another fight between the two of them." Michelle says.
"What is Saturn so angry about, anyway?" Amara asks, looking at Michelle.
"Oh, she's just jealous that Nemesis was battling you." Michelle says with a shrug. Amara looks at her for a moment before laughing.
"Well, I guess the shoe goes both ways today." Amara says as she grabs Michelle's hand and wraps hers around it.
"Guess so." Michelle says, leaning against Amara's shoulder.
