Anne Meets Sir Orpheus
The knight with angel wings looked up at Anne with beautiful green eyes.
"I am a friend," the knight replied to Anne. "and I have been sensing bad times ahead."
"Oh," Anne said. "I guess you are not Alan after all."
"My name is Sir Orpheus," Sir Orpheus said to Anne. "and who is this Alan you speak of?"
"His name is Alan Chan," Anne answered Sir Orpheus serenly. "and he is my twin brother... older than me by eight minutes."
"So I see." Sir Orpheus said to Anne.
Sir Orpheus just then gave his silver crystal lyre to Anne.
"What is this for?" Anne asked Sir Orpheus.
"Since your powers as a sailor scout haven't awakened completely yet," Sir Orpheus said to Anne. "then my lyre should offer you and your family members full protection from the enemy."
"Enemy? What enemy," Anne asked Sir Orpheus now confused. "and what are... sailor scouts?"
The next morning was a Monday morning as Charlie and eight out of his ten children were getting ready for their day.
"Where are Alan & Anne anyway? They will be late for school if they don't hurry up." Charlie said irritably.
"They must still be in bed." Suzie said to her father.
"Would somebody mind waking them up please?" Charlie asked irritably.
"I'll handle Alan, Pop." Mimi said.
"And I'll handle Anne, Pop." Tom said.
Mimi & Tom went straight up the stairs and into each others bedrooms.
When Tom entered the girls' bedroom, he heard Anne's familiar sleep talking.
"Woah! Oh my goodness!" Anne shouted.
Tom began nudging his sister hard in the right shoulder, "Wake up, Anne! You are going to be late for school!" he exclaimed.
Anne quickly opened her eyes to discover that Sir Orpheus's silver crystal lyre was clutched tightly in her hands, "Sir Orpheus's lyre? So it wasn't a dream!" she exclaimed.
Anne went into the closet and quickly dressed in her school clothes, then she brushed her hair, and put on her orange baseball cap.
Over in the boys' bedroom, Mimi began shaking Alan's right shoulder, "Wake up, Alan! You are going to be late for school!" she exclaimed.
Alan opened his eyes in utter panic.
"Woah! Oh my goodness," Alan exclaimed. "I had better hurry!"
Alan dressed in a hurry, then he & his siblings left for school while Charlie left for work.
Over in Tokyo in the 1990s, Raye, Serena, Amy, Lita, Mina, and Rini all got out of school for lunch.
Lita had packed a big picnic basket as they set off for the park for lunch.
Amara, Michelle, Trista, and Hotaru met up with Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina, and Rini.
Like Serena, Amy, Lita, and Mina, Amara & Michelle also attended Crossroads High School.
Darien, and the four Stanton brothers, Kazuyuki, Katsuji, Masaya, and Keiichi all joined the girls' picnic and brought their own picnic basket.
"Hello, Amy." Keiichi said, blushing slightly.
