Chapter 17 Caught on Camera pt. 2
AT THE TSUKINO FAMILY HOUSE:
Diane was in the kitchen sorting out the bills that needed to be paid from the bills that are already paid when Ryoko came downstairs. Apparently, she had gotten tired of talking on the phone so she decided to see what her aunt was up to.
“Ryoko, what are you doing up this late? You should be in bed. You have school tomorrow,” Diane replied.
“Actually, I was talking on the phone with my new best friend Maria who introduced me to her best friend Jessica Case by three-waying her. Jessica is sooo cool Aunt Diane. She’s rich just like Seto Kaiba, except… she’s not as rich as he is,” explained Ryoko.
“Uh-huh. Well, at least you made some new friends on your first day. Did you get any calls from Jasmine? She hasn’t gotten back home yet,” said Diane.
“Yeah, she said her and Yugi will be staying over at Kaiba’s house for dinner. And if it gets too late for her to come home, she’ll just stay the night. She’s lucky she gets to stay with Kaiba. He won’t say anything to me.” Ryoko began to pout.
“You can’t force him to talk to you Ryoko. Anyway, Jasmine doesn’t actually have to stay the night. She can have Kaiba tell his limo driver to bring her home or I’ll do it,” said Diane.
“Don’t bother. It’s actually quiet around here for once. Though I am jealous that she’s the one who gets to stay the night at Kaiba’s mansion and not me,” replied Ryoko.
“Don’t be silly Ryoko. I guess she’ll be fine there. I’m not too worried,” replied Diane with a bit of uneasiness in her tone.
“You sound worried Aunt Diane,” Ryoko said.
“Huh? Oh, I’m not worried.” Diane smiled.
(Diane’s P.O.V)
But what I am worried about is Jasmine and Seto remembering that they know each other. That’s the only thing I’m worried about. I hope my past doesn’t reveal itself before I have a chance to tell them why I did what I did.
(End P.O.V)
“Well, I’m going to bed now.” Ryoko yawned as she stood up. “See you in the morning Aunt Diane,” she said.
“You too…”
OAKWOOD APARTMENTS:
“Looks like we found a star seed Tree Leaf,” Spider replied excitedly.
They had recently attacked reporter Heather Stanton for her star seed. But Spider had spoken too soon because Heather’s star seed wasn’t a real one. So therefore, it turned black.
“No! It’s not a real star seed?!” exclaimed Spider angrily.
“Then I guess that means we’ve failed on our first try. Master Galaxia will be furious,” Tree Leaf replied.
“Well, this pathetic reporter will die without her star seed anyway so why don’t we go ahead and destroy it?” Spider suggested.
“No, we will not destroy it. This is our bait to get the Sailor Senshi to appear remember? Without this, we’ll be destroyed… by Galaxia,” Tree Leaf explained.
“I see. Okay, then all we have to do is—AAHH!!!” Spider was attacked and knocked down to the ground.
“Spider, are you okay?!” yelled Tree Leaf worriedly as she kneeled down next to Siren.
“I’m fine,” she replied.
“Alright, just who do you think you are?!” shouted Tree Leaf angrily.
A short dark figure with a staff in her hand that was not very long had attacked Spider. But it wasn’t a powerful attack so it just only grazed her shoulder.
“My name is none of your concern but however… I know for a fact that you don’t belong in this town and I’m going to make sure you don’t come back,” threatened the figure.
AT THE KAIBA MANSION:
Meanwhile at the Kaiba Mansion, Yugi and Jasmine stayed for dinner with Kaiba and Mokuba and of course, Chibi-Chibi. The cook had fixed Italian Style Pasta with two slices of garlic bread. Chibi-Chibi had just recently thrown one of her slices down on the floor and Niles had to pick it up and put it in the trash. She threw the other slice of garlic bread at Yugi’s head.
“Chibi-Chibi, that’s a no-no. You don’t throw your food on the floor or at other people,” Jasmine replied as she did Niles a favor by getting up from the table, picking the bread off the floor and putting it in the trash. Chibi-Chibi cooed cutely in the high chair that Kaiba had bought.
“Maybe she doesn’t like garlic bread or something,” replied Mokuba.
“That maybe but she still shouldn’t throw it at people,” said Jasmine as she sat back down at the table.
“I just won’t have the cook give her garlic bread anymore,” Kaiba said.
“But you’ve got to admit, she does have good throwing arm,” Yugi replied, trying to get breadcrumbs out of his hair.
“Yeah she does. She likes throwing a lot of thing. But mostly she likes to throw that stuffed pink bunny that Seto had gave her,” Mokuba said.
“Please tell me it’s not the one that fell out of your closet,” replied Jasmine.
Mokuba stiffed a laugh. “That was your bunny Seto?” he asked.
Kaiba didn’t say a word. His cheek turned a light shade of pink. All three of them just stared at him.
“Dada,” replied Chibi-Chibi as she yawned sleepily.
“Sounds like someone’s sleepy,” said Mokuba, smiling.
“Then I’ll get her bottle ready so she can take her medicine. Wanna help me Yugi?” Jasmine asked.
“Sure,” Yugi said.
“Niles and I will clear the table and wash the dishes,” Mokuba replied as he gathered up his plate and his brother’s plate. Niles gathered up Chibi-Chibi’s small plate and then Yugi and Jasmine’s plates. Both Mokuba and Niles went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. Kaiba was left at the table by himself.
He got up from the table and walked over towards Chibi-Chibi, who just stared at him with sleepiness in her eyes. He took her out of the high chair and just held her for while. She laid her head against Kaiba’s chest while sucking her thumb. Kaiba sat back down at the table.
(Kaiba’s P.O.V)
(End P.O.V)
“You know, you’re a very strange little girl, Chibi-Chibi. I never really thought about having any children of my own. Not until I met Jasmine,” Kaiba said.
“Chibi?” Chibi-Chibi looked up at Kaiba.
Kaiba smiled. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you threw that bread at Yugi’s head on purpose. That wasn’t a very nice thing to do.”
Chibi-Chibi kept sucking on her thumb. Kaiba took it out of her mouth.
“I should’ve bought you a pacifier with all of the other things I had gotten for you.” Kaiba sighed. “I wish I knew why you were in my office. But I guess I’ll never know that because you don’t speak in full sentences. But know this, even though I’m not your father, I will always think of you as my little girl.”
“Dada?” Chibi-Chibi continued to look up at Kaiba.
“That has to be the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard you say,” Jasmine replied. She was standing behind Kaiba while also holding the warm bottle of milk for Chibi-Chibi.
“How long have you been standing behind me?” asked Kaiba.
“Not long. Here’s her bottle,” said Jasmine as she handed it to Kaiba.
“Thanks,” he replied as he took it and started feeding the milk to Chibi-Chibi.
“I didn’t know you cared about Chibi-Chibi that much,” Jasmine said.
“I told you I did. I love her as if she were my own child. I’m sorry I didn’t call you when Chibi-Chibi sprained her arm,” Kaiba said.
“It’s okay. I’m not upset anymore. The only thing that’s important is that she is fine now.” Jasmine kneeled down next to Kaiba. She began stroking Chibi-Chibi’s bangs. “I’ve always wanted children.”
“Have you and Yugi planned on having children in the near future?” asked Kaiba.
“Yeah, just one child though. What about you?” Jasmine asked.
“Me?”
“Yeah, have you ever thought about having children of your own? Mokuba said you don’t have a girlfriend. Surely there has to be someone you like,” said Jasmine.
“Uh… well… I haven’t really thought about dating because I’m so busy doing things for my company,” Kaiba explained, while blushing slightly.
“Hmm… my cousin Ryoko likes you. Why not go out with her?”
“You want me to be honest?” Kaiba asked.
“Yes.”
“She’s not my type.”
“O…K… why not?” asked Jasmine.
“Because… she’s just not,” Kaiba said.
“Oh come on. You have to have a reason as to why Ryoko’s not your type.”
“You really want to know that badly?”
“Yes.”
“It seems to me that she’s trying to be more like you than she is trying to be herself,” replied Kaiba.
“Eh, well, that’s nothing new to me. She won’t admit it but I know for a fact that she’s a copycat. She even said that my life was perfect. Please, if you were living back where I was in Miami, you would know first hand that my life was not perfect. But I’m sure if you got to know her more, she might act mature.”
“Mama?” Chibi-Chibi just stared at Jasmine.
“What is it sweetie? You want mommy to hold you now?” asked Jasmine as she lightly took Chibi-Chibi out of Kaiba’s arms and held her in her own arms. Jasmine began patting her lightly on her back. Chibi-Chibi gave a small burp and then started sucking on her thumb.
“I need to buy her a pacifier so she won’t keep sucking on her thumb all the time,” said Kaiba.
“Why didn’t you?” asked Jasmine.
“At the time, I didn’t think she really needed one,” Kaiba said.
“Oh. I put her medicine inside the milk like the bottle said so, what’s this stuff supposed to do?”
“Help her sleep through the night without feeling any pain from sleeping on her arm,” replied Kaiba.
“I see.”
Chibi-Chibi gave a really big yawn before she closed her eyes and fell asleep in Jasmine’s arms.
“She’s so adorable. I can’t wait to have kids,” Jasmine replied.
Kaiba put his hand on Jasmine’s shoulder. “You’ll make a great mother Jasmine,” he said.
“Thanks. And you’ll make a wonderful father. Whoever you meet in the near future, she’ll be one lucky girl.” Jasmine looked at Kaiba and smiled. Kaiba smiled back.
Just then, Yugi had come running out of the kitchen and into the dining room.
“Hey Jasmine, Bunny’s on the phone. She said that it was really important that she speaks with you right away,” Yugi said. He had gone back into the kitchen.
“Okay,” replied Jasmine.
“I’ll put Chibi-Chibi to bed while you take that phone call,” said Kaiba.
“Thank you, Kaiba,” she said.
Jasmine handed Chibi-Chibi to Kaiba. She got up off the floor and straightened up her skirt. Before she went in the kitchen, she kissed Kaiba on the cheek and then left. Niles had come out of the kitchen after Jasmine had gone in.
“I saw that sir,” he replied.
“Saw what? Nothing happened,” Kaiba said as he got up from the table.
“That’s the second time she has kissed you on your cheek. I’m starting to wonder if she really is in love with Yugi Moto,” said Niles.
“That’s enough. Just drop it okay.” Kaiba was annoyed with Niles at that moment. He went upstairs to put Chibi-Chibi to bed.
BACK AT OAKWOOD APARTMENTS:
“Go away you little pest! We’re trying to do our job!!” Tree Leaf shouted angrily.
Tree Leaf and Spider had been trying to fight off a fairy girl that had been attacking them. She had short purple hair and a blue/light blue outfit and pale blue wings. The girl also had a semi-long/short blue/light blue staff with a blue heart in the middle of a stained glass circle that was on top of a small orb. She had powers of ice.
“Get out of this town right now!!!” the girl shouted as she positioned her short staff to attack again. “Ice Blizzard!!!” The girl’s attack formed a fierce storm of snow and wind.
“This kid just won’t quit! Have a taste of this!!” yelled Tree Leaf as she made her staff appear and used her Leaf Orb Deflection to block most of the most of the girl’s blizzard attack to get to her.
“No!” the girl shouted.
“Take it away Spider!” ordered Tree Leaf.
“You’ve got it!” Spider positioned her hands to ready her attack while Tree Leaf was fighting back the Ice Blizzard attack the fairy girl had launched. “Galacitica Poison!” she shouted as the attack created needles and were aimed towards the girl.
“AAHH! NO!” the girl screamed.
“Good riddance!!” laughed Tree Leaf evilly.
Spider’s attack came closer and closer to the fairy girl. But with luck, the girl, flew out of the way of the attack and was safe out of harm’s way. She sat on the ground and sighed in relief that she was okay and still alive. But she was also weak and tired from launching the blizzard attack, which used up most of her energy.
“Hey Tree Leaf, I think someone is getting tired,” Spider mentioned as she pointed towards the girl who was panting from dodging her Spider’s attack.
“I think you’re right. This ought to make her even weaker. Sailor Reporter!! Awaken!!” Tree Leaf shouted.
Heather started to turn into a phage.
“What’s happening to that woman?” asked the girl.
“She’s transforming into our weapon to get rid of the Sailor Senshi. But you’ll do for now until they show up.” Tree Leaf chuckled.
“The Sailor Senshi?” the girl pondered.
Heather had finished transforming and she was now Sailor Reporter.
“Good evening little girl! It’s time to get ready… get ready for your close up!!!” A camera-like bazooka appeared in Sailor Reporter’s hand. She put it on her shoulder and aimed it at the fair girl and to ready her attack on her. “Camera Bazooka Blast!!!!” she shouted.
“NO!!!” screamed the fairy girl and utter fear. She tried to fly but the blizzard attack she had launched still left her too weak. She could barely move.
“Say good-bye!!!” laughed Sailor Reporter.
“Star Moon Electric Shower!!!” yelled a familiar voice.
Sailor Reporter’s attack was blown up before it reached the fairy girl.
“WHAT!!??” she shrieked in anger.
“What now!?” shouted Tree Leaf.
“It’s us that’s what!!” Star Moon was in a tree standing on a branch along with all of the other Sailor Senshi. “Sailor Star Moon’s the name and helping to protect the planet is my game!”
“And I’m Sailor Moon! And in the name of the Moon, I will also help to protect this planet as well!”
“That goes for the rest of us! As the protectors of the White Moon, we shall stop you in the name of our planets!!” said both the Inner and Outer Senshi.
“So, you actually made it. And in perfect time too,” Tree Leaf replied as she pointed behind her.
They all looked and saw a crowd of people standing far back behind Siren and Lead Crow. They had their cameras and lighting set up and everything. And right behind Spider and Tree Leaf was Sailor Reporter. All of the Sailor Senshi gasped.
“That’s right. A whole crowd of cameras is watching your every move. So you all better be careful,” said Tree Leaf.
“That’s a desperate move for a coward to make. Just who are you two anyway?!” asked Jupiter.
“Who are we? Well, first of all, I’m Sailor Tree Leaf.”
“And I’m her partner, Sailor Spider.”
All of the Sailor Senshi were shocked.
“So there are more of you claiming to be Sailor Senshi? What happened to Sailor Vortex?” asked Mars.
“Master Galaxia got rid of her because of her failure. But we, however, will not fail her. Sailor Report, do whatever it takes to get rid of them,” ordered Tree Leaf.
The black telephone booth that Vortex used, before Galaxia took her bracelets, appeared and both Tree Leaf and Spider got in and it disappeared.
“Let’s have fun Sailor Senshi! Camera Bazooka Blast!!” shouted Sailor Reporter as she aimed her camera bazooka that the Sailor Senshi and fired her attack towards them.
They all jumped out of the way just in time before it hit them.
“Let’s do this! Jupiter Oak Evolution!!!” Jupiter shouted.
“Nice try! Camera Lens Shield!” Sailor Reporter held out her hand and a circle shaped camera lens expanded from her hands and shielded her from Jupiter’s attack.
“Damn it!” Jupiter swore.
“We have to be careful and not hit the crowd of reporters,” Mercury cautioned everyone.
“Who cares about them? They ruin people’s lives anyway,” Mini Star Moon replied, crossing her arms.
“Even so little one, they’re still innocent people and we can’t let them get hurt. No matter who they are or what they do,” Pluto replied.
The reporters were capturing everything on film and Cindy and her crew was getting ready to report what was going on.
“Hello Domino City and we’re live at Oakwood Apartments. I’m your local reporter, Cindy Price. We’re here reporting because the Sailor Senshi has been spotted again. And someone else seems to have joined the Sailor Senshi… a little girl that looks like what appears to be a fairy with sky blue wings. Kind of reminds you of your favorite childhood stories doesn’t it? Anyway, the girls look like they’re battling a new creature tonight. Let’s watch and see what happens.”
Cindy stopped reporting to watch the battle between the Sailor Senshi and Sailor Reporter.
“Give it up Sailor Senshi! You’ll never penetrate my Camera Lens Shield!!” Sailor Reporter laughed manically. She then turned around behind her and saw Cindy and company reporting what was going on. Sailor Reporter became enraged with anger. “YOU!!” she shouted angrily.
With one hand holding up the camera shield she used her other hand to hold up her camera bazooka and aim it at Cindy.
“What’s she doing Cind?! She’s aiming that thing at you!!” cried Jeremy.
“I don’t know! Hey wait a minute! What are you doing?!” Cindy shouted to Sailor Reporter as she dropped her microphone on the ground.
“Getting rid of YOU!!! Camera Grenade Launch!!!” shouted Sailor Reporter as a huge sized grenade came out of her camera bazooka and it was heading towards Cindy.
“Oh no you don’t!” yelled Sailor Saturn, “Silent WALL!!!” Saturn’s attacked blocked Sailor Reporter’s grenade attack from hitting Cindy and Bob and Jeremy as well.
“Damn you all! But no matter, you still can’t break through my Camera Shield and when I’m through with all of you, your star seeds will belong to my master.
“In your dreams creep!! We may not be able to break your shield by ourselves but together we can,” replied Sailor Moon.
“Wait a minute!” said the fairy girl. Everyone turned around to face her. “I have spell that can drain the power of her shield so you all can break through it with ease,” she said.
(Saturn’s P.O.V)
She
looks awfully familiar. If I didn’t know
any better, I’d say she was Maura Kiyoko, Mokuba’s ex girlfriend!!
(End P.O.V)
“Something wrong Saturn?” asked Sailor Sapphire. (JT: Sailor Sapphire is Melanie. Just so you know.)
“Uh, nope, I’m fine,” Saturn said.
“Please let me help you all. You won’t be able to break through her shield without my spell. Please,” the fairy girl pleaded.
“First things first, who are you and why were you out here trying to fight off Sailor Tree Leaf and Spider?” asked Venus.
“I live behind this neighborhood. I heard some noises and I decided to check it out. I’m a fairy with magical powers. But I only use them to help people and those two you call Sailor Tree Leaf and Sailor Spider were attacking a poor innocent woman who’s also a reporter on Domino News Channel 6. Heather Stanton is who she is. So you can’t hurt her. If you truly are heroes, then you won’t try to harm her.” The girl began to start crying.
They all looked at each other and then back at the girl. Cindy started reporting again.
“It looks like the Sailor Senshi have stopped attacking their enemy and focused all their attention on the fairy girl. I wonder what they could be saying. Let’s get a little closer.”
“We understand that you care about the woman that was just attacked but if we’re going to help turn her back to normal, we have to attack her first before she attacks us. We won’t kill her or anything. She’s been turned into a phage, meaning that she’s not herself anymore and she a semi-evil villain for a short period of time until we change her back,” Mars explained.
“I see,” the fairy girl replied.
“I’m tired of waiting for you all to plot your next attack! I’m taking action!” Sailor Reporter took the camera lens cap off of her camera bazooka by ripping it off. She then used multiplicity to make five of them. “Cap Smoke Bomb!!” she shouted as she launched them towards the Sailor Senshi and the girl.
“Look out everyone!!” shouted Mini Moon.
The bombs Sailor Reporter threw exploded when they hit the ground, causing a thick black fog of smoke. The all coughed because it was so strong. All of a sudden, every single one of the Sailor Senshi fell down to the ground and started coughing violently.
“Hahaha! Now, it’s time for my last task… to get rid of you all once and for all!!” shouted Sailor Reporter as her bazooka camera turned into a bow and arrow battery.
Just then, everyone that lived in the Oakwood Apartment complex started coming out of his or her homes to find out what was going on and why was there so much noise outside. They all crowed around the camera crew and Cindy started reporting… again.
“Um, after being almost previously attacked and being saved, it looks like Sailor Reporter has forgotten about me and focused all of her attention on the Sailor Senshi and the fairy girl again. Now it looks like she’s about to make her last attempt at trying to get rid of the Sailor Senshi with something that looks like a battery… in the form of a bow and arrow?” Cindy sweat dropped but she kept on reporting. “Will she succeed?”
Everyone started murmuring. As for the Sailor Senshi, Sailor Reporter’s attack left them weak.
“Ha! It’s time to end this! Radiation Launch!!!”
The fairy girl stood up as best she could… to cast a shield spell.
“Powers from descendants before me
To you I yield,
Protect us all
With your mighty SHIELD!!!”
An oval shaped shield surrounded her and all of the Sailor Senshi and it rose up to protect them and as Sailor Reporter’s attack hit the shield, bounced off, turned back around and it was now heading towards Sailor Reporter.
“WHAT!!!!” she shrieked.
That’s when Cindy started reporting again
“Whoa! Talk about a close call with that shield! The Sailor Senshi are lucky that that fairy girl is on their side.”
Sailor Reporter’s own attack hit her and knocked her down for the count. Sailor Moon and Star Moon stood up to finish the job.
“Are you ready Star Moon?” Sailor Moon as she held up her staff.
“I’m ready when you are,” Star Moon replied as she held up her own staff.
“Double Star Crystal Beam Therapy Kiss!!!” they both shouted.
“NOOOOO!!! THIS JUST ISN’T FAIR!!!” Sailor Reporter shouted.
And with that, Sailor Moon and Star Moon both fell to the ground in exhaustion. While the crowd cheered them all on, Cindy and her crew stood in silence because they were shocked at whom they just seen. Heather Stanton, the reporter who thinks she’s all that and doesn’t care too much for Cindy and comp., was laid out on the ground unconscious. Cindy backed up slowly from in front of the camera, towards Bob. When she finally reached him, she stopped.
“Do you…” Cindy began.
“Yep, I see the exact same thing you do. Heather was Sailor Reporter this entire time. But how is that possible?” asked Bob.
“It seems that the two women that call themselves Sailor Spider and Sailor Tree Leaf are somehow responsible for doing that. But what I don’t get is how they can be Sailor Senshi if they’re attacking innocent people,” Cindy replied.
“We’re all pondering that question Cindy. Well, if those two are evil, then that must mean they want something from the Sailor Senshi… or… they want something from us,” Jeffery said while adjusting the camera so it was pointing right at Sailor Moon and Star Moon.
“Why don’t you start reporting and find out Cindy?” Bob pushed Cindy back in view of the camera. She stood there for a moment with nothing to say but she took a deep breath and she was now ready to do her job.
“What a surprise everyone, turns out, one of our beloved reporters, Heather Stanton, was Sailor Reporter the entire time. So it seems that this enemy that has a vendetta against the Sailor Senshi has the ability to change their targets into different human beings. But some questions still remain Domino City, who are two those girls that call themselves Sailor Senshi? Are they really Sailor Senshi or are they pretending they are? And what are the true identities of the real Sailor Senshi? Let’s find out, shall we?” Cindy ran past Heather, who was still laid out on the ground, and towards Sailor Moon and Star Moon, who had managed to get up after their attack on Sailor Reporter. “Tell us girls, who are you and what is your purpose for being here?” asked Cindy while holding the microphone towards Sailor Moon and Star Moon.
“Uh… uh… uh…” was all Sailor Moon could say.
Star Moon spoke up. “Sorry, but we can’t give out privileged information like that. But all we can say is that we’ll protect this city for as long as we’re here. So good-bye,” Star Moon grabbed Sailor Moon by the arm and they both began to leave. The rest of the Sailor Senshi followed them.
“Wait! At least tell us who Sailor Tree Leaf and Sailor Spider are and what they want!!” yelled Cindy.
The Sailor Senshi stopped walking and looked at each other.
“Should we tell her?” asked Mini Moon.
“No. If we tell them, then the whole town will be worried that they’re in danger. So we can’t, no matter what happens,” Pluto said.
“But they are in danger as long as Galaxia keeps sending her servants down here to cause trouble. Don’t they all have a right to know?” Mercury asked.
“Yes they do but we don’t know when Galaxia will unleash her plans yet. We don’t want everyone to have a panic attack unless we know for sure when Galaxia will strike,” Uranus said.
“But you have to tell them! At least they’d know so they won’t have to worry about it later,” the fairy girl replied.
“You have to understand that some things aren’t meant to be told to someone at a certain time. Until we know for sure what’s going to happen, we can’t take any chances at telling them right now. Let’s go everyone,” Star Moon said.
Everyone agreed with her. They all jumped up into the trees and disappeared without a trace. The fairy girl was left by herself. Cindy ran over towards her.
“What happened to the Sailor Senshi? I thought they were going to tell us the information we needed. We need to know what Sailor Tree Leaf and Sailor Spider are after and what is the meaning of attacking innocent people?” Cindy said.
The fairy girl began to slowly fly up in the air. “I don’t know anything,” she replied and then flew away.
“Hold on! Come back!!” shouted Cindy.
Everyone in the neighborhood was still crowded around each other, witnessing what was going on. The little children and young teenagers were saying what they had just seen was so cool. Heather, on the other hand, had finally wakened up. She looked around and saw basically everyone in the neighborhood and Cindy and comp.
“What in the world is going on here?!” she asked while getting up off the ground.
“Oh, Heather, you missed it! Everything!” Cindy said excitedly as she ran toward Heather.
“Missed what? Why is everyone out here in their night clothes?” Heather asked.
“The Sailor Senshi appeared again and everyone in the neighborhood saw it. But the only shocking part was that you were their new enemy’s target,” explained Cindy.
“Are you out of your mind?! Not again with the Sailor Senshi. And what do you mean I was their new enemy’s target?” asked Heather.
“Don’t you remember being attacked or anything?” Cindy asked.
“No! All I remember is getting my things out of the trunk of my car, then these two mysterious women showed up behind me and that’s all I remember. But it was too dark to tell what they looked like. But that doesn’t mean I was attacked by anyone so get that ridiculous notion out of your head Price!” Heather shouted angrily.
“Whatever you say Heather. But once my crew and I get the footage we shot tonight back to the office, you’ll know first hand what happened to you. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get some comments from the people in this neighborhood. It’s only a matter of time before I make you into a believer.” Cindy walked past Heather and towards the crowd of people to get statements from them. Heather just crossed her arms and scoffed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, everyone everywhere in Domino City was talking about seeing the Sailor Senshi and the mysterious fairy girl on the news last night and this morning. It didn’t take long for them to become the talk of the entire town.
At Domino High, the bell hadn’t ringed yet. Everyone here was talking about the Sailor Senshi and the fairy girl also. Some students that lived in the Oakwood Apartment neighborhood were the main ones talking about it.
Bunny and the gang were at their lockers talking about what happened last night as well.
“Everyone’s talking about what they saw on TV. Do you think they’re going to figure out it’s us?” Mina asked.
“Let’s hope not. I mean, we just got here and we already screwed up and risked getting our identities exposed,” Lita replied.
“Not really. No one will figure out it’s us unless they see us transform. Otherwise, they’re still clueless that’s it’s really us,” Raye said.
“That’s going to be hard since they caught us on camera. And this is the second time this has happened. We didn’t even know that the reporters saw us battling those crazy witches,” Bunny replied.
“None of us did Bunny. But let’s not forget about that fairy girl. She did help us turn that reporter back to her normal self,” Amy brought up.
“That’s true. But I wonder who she is. She looked really familiar but I can’t quite figure out who she reminds me of,” replied Mina.
“Mina’s right. She looks like someone we know. But who?” wondered Raye.
Just then, the bell for first period to start had just rung.
“We’ll figure this out later. We have to get to class,” Amy said.
“But all everyone is going to be talking about is us. They won’t even be concentrating on doing their work,” Bunny said.
“Not really. Raye and I have Algebra 3 together and little ‘Miss Semi Rich Girl’ and she isn’t going to tolerate any talking while she teaches,” Mina said.
“With the way she teaches, she’ll put a whole kindergarten class to sleep,” Raye joked.
“Right. See you guys at lunch,” Lita said, leaving.
“See ya Lita,” replied Jasmine.
They all left and went to their first period class before the late bell ringed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, at Domino Jr. High, pretty much everything was the same. Everyone was talking about seeing the Sailor Senshi and the fairy girl on the news, and others that lived in Oakwood were talking about how they saw them in person and how it was so cool.
Sakura and Mamiko had a American/Japanese Politics class together. Everyone was supposed to split up into two opposing sides but everyone was talking about the Sailor Senshi. Sakura and Mamiko had two desks facing each other so they couldn’t be near the chatter boxes that wouldn’t shut up.
“Everyone just can’t seem to stop talking about the Sailor Senshi that were on the news. Do you think they’re real or the media just made this up?” asked Mamiko.
Sakura was staring out of the window with her mind in her own little world. She didn’t even hear Mamiko’s question.
“Uh Sakura? Are you okay?” Mamiko asked.
“Huh? Oh, I’m fine. I was just—I mean I was thinking about something, that’s all,” replied Sakura.
“Are you sure? You seem to be thinking about a lot because I don’t think you heard my question,” said Mamiko.
“What question?” Sakura asked.
Mamiko sweat-dropped and sighed. “I asked if you if you think the Sailor Senshi are real or do you think the media made this up”
“Oh. Well, what would you think if I said yes?” asked Sakura.
“I would actually agree with you. It’s been awhile since something exciting has happened to this town. And plus, there were people who lived in Oakwood that actually saw them up close so there would be no denying that the Sailor Senshi aren’t real,” Mamiko said.
“Wow, that’s more than what I would’ve said.” Sakura slightly laughed.
Mamiko just smiled.
Just then, that group of girls that Mamiko used to hang around walked into the classroom, passed everyone else, and walked over towards Sakura and Mamiko.
“What’s up girls?” Naomi replied.
“What in the hell do you four want?” asked Sakura, angry at just seeing them.
“That is not a proper way to greet us,” Akina said, crossing her arms.
“I don’t care. Go away, this isn’t even your class,” Sakura said.
“Actually we came to have a friendly chat with Mamiko,” said Mika.
“Again? Why can’t you four just leave me alone?” Mamiko asked.
“We’re not bothering you, we just simply want to talk to you,” replied Kohana.
“Well, I’m not in the mood to talk to the four of you. You’ve worn out your welcome with me. Now please leave,” said Mamiko.
“Wow, I can’t believe you’re finally growing some backbone. It’s about time,” laughed Naomi snobbishly.
Mamiko stood up in anger and frustration. “Beat it you wanna-be teen beauty queens! I have had it with you four! You’re not my real friends and I don’t owe you anything so get out of here before I open up a can of whoop ass on you four!!!” shouted Mamiko at that top of her lungs while balling up her fists at the same time.
Naomi, Mika, Kohana, and Akina gasped and stepped back in fear. Everyone else in the classroom just looked at Mamiko funny because they’ve never seen her act this way before. This was new to them. Sakura just snickered.
“Let’s get out of here! Mamiko has gone crazy,” said Akina as she ran out of the classroom. Mika and Kohana followed her.
“This isn’t over Mamiko. You’ll always be weak.” Naomi walked out of the classroom with her head up in the air just to show everyone that she was not afraid of anybody.
Mamiko sat back down in her seat and crossed her arms.
“Um… Mamiko… I think you’ve been hanging around me too much,” Sakura replied.
“I think that’s a good thing. At least I can finally stand up for myself. I learned that from you.” Mamiko smiled.
“Well, I’m proud of you that you stood up to those four girls and gave them a piece of your mind. Chloe would definitely applaud you,” said Sakura.
“I’m sure she will.” Mamiko laughed. Sakura started laughing too.
(Mamiko’s P.O.V)
This
is the happiest I’ve ever been since elementary school. I’ve finally made friends with people who
like me… for… me.
(End P.O.V)

In Ms. Mirai’s video class, everyone was supposed to be working on their projects in their groups or with their partner, but since Ms. Mirai was not there and they had a substitute teacher, most of them just sat around and did nothing but talk while others were actually doing what they were supposed to be doing.
Mokuba and Hotaru were working on their project together but Mokuba had barely said a word. Hotaru was worried about him.
(Hotaru’s P.O.V)
I wonder what’s up with Mokuba. He seems really spaced out. I wonder did he see the news last night and figured out that I’m Sailor Saturn!!?? OH NO!!! I just met him. I can’t bear to think about what he might know. Maybe I should ask him…
(End P.O.V)
“Hey, Mokuba, you’ve barely said a word since class started. Is everything okay?” Hotaru asked.
“Huh? Oh, yeah, I’m fine. I just have a lot of things on my mind right now.” Mokuba sighed. “Could you excuse me for a minute?” Mokuba left Hotaru by herself.
“Mokuba wait!” called Hotaru.
“I’ll be right back!” he called back.
Over by the blackboard, Maura and her friends Gina and Sana had three desks together and they were talking about the Sailor Senshi.
“I think it’s so cool that girls are actually super heroes! It’s about time the woman gets the leading roll instead of the guy saving the day all the time like they do in some cartoons and comic books,” Gina replied.
“I agree. I think these Sailor Senshi are the best thing that have happened to Domino City don’t you think Maura?” Sana asked.
“Well, I guess,” said Maura, in a very low voice.
“What’s with you today Maura?” asked Gina.
“Yeah, you’ve been really quiet today. It’s not your usual quiet but more quiet than usual. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you know something that we don’t,” said Sana.
“Spill the details Maura,” Gina said.
“Uh—
“Hey Maura, can I speak to you for a minute?” someone asked.
All three girls turned their head and saw Mokuba standing next to Maura with his hands in his pockets.
“Of course Maura will talk to you Mokuba.” Gina was sitting next to Maura and elbowed her to get up.
“Uh, yeah Mokuba. Is out in the hallway fine?” Maura asked as she got up out of her chair.
“Yeah that’s fine,” he replied.
Both Mokuba and Maura left Gina and Sana while they go talk out in the hall.
“Do you think Mokuba will ask Maura to go back out with him?” Gina asked, giggling.
“Oh I hope so. Maura deserves so much more than the mediocre guys that go to this school. Plus, it’ll get that gothic looking girl, Hotaru, away from Mokuba,” Sana said.
“I agree. That girl is so not Mokuba’s type. I just hope he comes to his senses and take Maura back as his girlfriend,” Gina replied.
“I hope so too. I’d really hate to see Maura heartbroken.”
IN THE HALLWAY:
“So Mokuba, what do you want to talk to me about?” Maura asked.
“I want to talk to you about what I saw on this news this morning. Were you there last night with the Sailor Senshi?” he asked.
“Uh… Mokuba… I… uh… well…” Maura kept stammering.
“Just tell me the truth Maura,” Mokuba replied.
“Yes, Mokuba. I was there. But why does it matter—
“It does matter Maura. Everyone could figure out that you’re the fairy girl that was with the Sailor Senshi last night. You really have to be more careful,” Mokuba said.
“Mokuba please!” Maura buried her face into Mokuba’s chest and cried. “Don’t tell anyone. Please don’t tell!”
“Calm down Maura. I’m not going to tell anybody. I just don’t want you to get caught, that’s all,” said Mokuba.
“You don’t understand Mokuba. You know that I’m adopted into a family with a stepsister and stepbrother and I don’t know much about where I came from or why I have these powers. And maybe… just maybe these Sailor Senshi might be able to help me figure out where I came from because I don’t know.” Maura sobbed deeply.
Mokuba wrapped his arms around her. “I understand that you want to know where you came from but getting yourself exposed accidentally by the media is not a good start. And… we still don’t know much about these Sailor Senshi. So next time, be careful.”
Maura looked up at Mokuba. “I promise I’ll be more careful but I don’t think it’s going to be that easy. I think someone knew the Sailor Senshi would come to that poor woman’s rescue and the media is doing all they can to catch them on film and harass them. But I don’t even know their real identities,” Maura explained.
“I think that’s what they’re after. But I wonder why? Well, one thing’s for sure is that you can’t get caught on camera again. You have to keep a low profile if you don’t want people figuring out who you really are,” Mokuba told her.
“I know. I’ll be careful next time. I swear,” Maura said, smiling.
“Good. Let’s go back inside,” said Mokuba.
“Yeah.”

At Domino Elementary School, Sammy, Melanie, and Kristin were on the playground hanging around the monkey bars. Sammy was supposed to be in detention but he skipped it to hang out with Melanie and Kristin during recess.
“Sammy, you’re going to get in trouble for skipping detention. No one has ever done it without getting caught,” Kristin replied.
“Sammy always gets caught skipping his classes when he knows he’s supposed to be in them,” Melanie replied.
“Yeah, but I’m not skipping a class. I’m skipping detention. Besides, all everyone’s going to be doing is talking about the Sailor Senshi and the fairy girl that was on the news,” Sammy said.
“So? That still doesn’t mean you skip detention. The detention teacher doesn’t let anyone talk while they’re supposed to be doing their time for however many days they’re going to be there,” explained Kristin.
“Then that means Rini’s going to rat him out. She doesn’t like you anyway Sammy,” said Melanie, giggling.
“And? I don’t like her either. Rini better not rat me out. I’ll have a surprise waiting for her in her bed. Heheheheheh.” Sammy rubbed his hands together evilly.
“Whatever.” Melanie rolled her eyes and scoffed.
“You still need to be careful Sammy. The lady that’s over detention checks her roll and if she doesn’t see that student that’s supposed to be there in detention, she figures that they’re skipping and goes out to find them,” Kristin explained.
“Does she ever find them?” asked Melanie.
“Yes and then she gives them tons and tons of homework. It doesn’t matter what grade they’re in either. She gave a first grader sixth grade level work to do for homework. He got almost all of them wrong and had to repeat the same grade again.”
“Well, it looks like you’re dead Sammy. Rini is definitely going to rat you out for sure,” Melanie said.
“I’d like to see her try. Anyway, what’s the name of this detention teacher anyway?” asked Sammy.
Melanie and Kristin just stood next to the monkey bars not saying a word. A gianormous woman that looked very serious and mean was standing behind Sammy as he was sitting across from Melanie and Kristin on the monkey bars. She had a ruler in her right hand also.
“M-M-Mrs. Leiko,” Kristin stammered in utter fear.
Sammy looked at Kristin. “Okay, what’s wrong with you?” he asked her.
“W-we just don’t w-want to die.” Kristin hid behind Melanie.
“O…K….”
“Sammy… Leiko-Sensei is right behind you,” replied Kristin.
“Who?” asked Sammy.
“Mrs. Leiko is the detention teacher… and she’s right behind you.” Kristin was still hiding behind Melanie. Melanie was just in shock because the woman was huge.
Sammy looked behind him and saw the huge detention teacher, Mrs. Leiko but students have to call her Leiko-Sensei.
“Samuel Tsukino!!” she shouted angrily, with a voice that sounded very much like Miss Piggy from the Muppets. “You are supposed to be in detention right now!! You are in big trouble young man.” She kept waving that ruler she had in her hand in front of Sammy’s face threateningly like she was going to hit him with it.
“So… hit me already… give me your best shot you saggy titty wench.” Sammy hopped off the monkey bars and started spanking himself on his but with his hand.
“WHAT?! You have some nerve talking to me like that!! You are getting a phone call to your mother young man. But for now, you’ll have to come with me. I’m going to enjoy seeing you suffer in detention with me for the next week.” Mrs. Leiko chuckled.
“Don’t provoke her Sammy. Leiko-Sensei doesn’t take to kindly to jokes or insults,” Kristin warned him.
“You’d better listen to Miss Mazaki if you know what’s good for you. Now come with me or else,” threatened Mrs. Leiko.
“Or else what because it seems to me you’re in no position to tell me what to do.” Sammy snapped his fingers in that ‘don’t go there girlfriend’ way. “And who’s Miss Mazaki by the way?” he asked.
“That would be me Sammy. She always calls the students by their last names in Japanese and she always wants us to call her Leiko-Sensei but she doesn’t deserve to be called Sensei because she’s not really teaching a class.” Kristin gave Mrs. Leiko a grimace look.
“Don’t test me young lady or you’ll end up in detention with your little friend who by the way is trying my patience by not coming with me.” Mrs. Leiko gritted her teeth angrily.
“Try getting on the Slim Fast diet and then come back and talk to me,” Sammy joked.
“That’s it!!! You are coming with me NOW!!!!” Mrs. Leiko grabbed Sammy by his right arm and started pulling him along with her as she began to walk back towards the back entrance of the school where the playground was, to the detention room.
“Help, I’m getting kidnapped by a fat lady! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”
“That’s not funny you little brat. I’m going to have a talk with your mother about your behavior and manners!!!” said Mrs. Leiko angrily.
Melanie and Kristin looked at each other as Mrs. Leiko dragged Sammy off back inside the school.
“So, do you think he’ll come back alive?” asked Melanie.
“I doubt it,” replied Kristin.

Back at Domino High, in Mr. Egbert’s Physical Science class, everyone was doing a Pendulum lab on how fast a grandfather clock ticks or something like that. Everyone had to finish the project today because it was due. The commotion about the Sailor Senshi and the fairy girl died down but some still couldn’t help but bring it up once in awhile.
Tea and Yugi were in this class together and they were also partners together for this lab. They were almost done with it since they were ahead of most of the class. Well, they weren’t at first because Yugi was trying to get Mr. Egbert’s attention to help him with the math part of the lab but he avoided Yugi and went to help everyone else. So Tea did the first one to see if it was right. So now, they’re almost done.
“You’re finally getting the hang of the math part of this Yugi. See, I told you I was right. You should really believe me when I tell you I know how to do this. Mr. Egbert said I was right,” replied Tea.
“Yeah well, he didn’t come to me when I raised my hand. I think our teacher’s a perv,” said Yugi.
“Don’t be silly. He was just busy helping everyone else, that’s all. I don’t think he’d fondle any of the girls in here,” Tea assured him.
“Well, I still say to be careful though. You never know with everyone at this school,” Yugi said.
“Thanks for worrying about me Yugi but I’m sure I’m in no danger whatsoever.” Tea sighed happily.
(Tea’s P.O.V)
It’s
nice to see that Yugi is worried about me.
It’ll get his mind off of Jasmine for awhile if he senses that I’m in
danger. Maybe that’s how I can get his
attention. Nah, that’s stupid. I can’t willingly put myself in danger just
to get Yugi to be with me. He would never
forgive me for that. I don’t want him to
hate me. Ugh! I’m fresh out of ideas until I can figure out
how I can get Jasmine and Kaiba closer to each other.
(End P.O.V)
“Here, I’ll take our papers to Mr. Egbert,” replied Yugi as he handed for Tea’s paper.
“Sure. Thanks Yugi,” said Tea.
“You’re welcome,” he said as he took his and Tea’s paper to the teacher.
(Tea’s P.O.V)
At least Jasmine’s not in this class with Yugi. Thank god. I would probably never be able to talk to him with her around. I don’t trust her and Yugi should listen to me. She and her friends showing up out of the blue without no explanation on why or how they got here with no place to stay and then on top of that, Sailor Senshi and a fairy girl are saving people in our town?! This is all too much. Yugi should be worried. We’ve already had to deal with Pegasus and him kidnapping Yugi’s grandfather. Who knows what these Sailor Senshi might want. I have to protect Yugi before it’s too late.
(End P.O.V)

Meanwhile, in Ms. Iku’s dance class, everyone was working on a new dance routine for the upcoming concert in December of ‘06. Though any student in any grade can join the dance class, it’s just the ninth graders aren’t permitted to participate in any of the dance routines until they’re a sophomore, junior, or senior. Ninth graders have to serve refreshments to the other students who were not freshmen.
Jasmine, Carmen, and Brittany have this class together. They were still getting used to everything and how it all runs because they were still kind of new. They were sitting in the audience part of the auditorium. One of the ninth graders, a short blonde-haired girl walked up to them with small platter with three different sodas on it: Sprite, Coke, and Cherry Cola.
“Uh, you don’t really have to do that you know,” Jasmine, said.
“Yeah, why don’t you take one yourself? You do kind of look thirsty,” replied Brittany.
Jasmine elbowed her.
“Ow!”
“It’s okay. And I can’t take one of these sodas. I’m supposed to give them to the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. If freshmen want something to drink, we have to get water from the water fountain that’s outside. I’ll get in trouble with Jessica Case, who sorta made this rule up for ninth graders and turn us into slaves, we have no choice but follow what she says,” the girl explained.
“Wha? I have never… heard of the most fucked up rule in my entire life. Shouldn’t every ninth grader join in on the fun? It’s not fair towards ya’ll that we can participate and ya’ll can’t,” said Carmen.
“I know but anyone who disobeys the rule has to deal with Jessica. So, since you three aren’t thirsty, I’ll see if someone else wants these.” The girl began to walk away.
“Hey kid?” called Jasmine.
The girl turned around. “Yeah?” she answered.
“What’s your name?” asked Jasmine.
“Tanya. Tanya Washington,” she said.
“Okay. Well, my name’s Jasmine Tsukino and these are my friends Carmen Adams and Brittany Collier. Tanya, isn’t there like a—after school program for the ninth graders that want to learn how to dance and make it something that they want to do with their life?” Jasmine asked.
“There was, but Jessica had it removed. She figured that if we want to learn to dance so badly, we’d have to be old enough to learn the basics by watching. We have no choice but to do what she says. I want to learn how to dance. My sister graduated from Domino High recently and she took dance and made it out of a career. That’s when I realized… I wanted to dance too. I love music and I love to dance. But that’ll never happen as long as Jessica runs everything and has everyone under her finger.”
“I see. Well, don’t give up. You can always run a petition for this. Get everyone that’s a ninth grader that really wants to dance to sign it and give it to the principal of the school,” Jasmine suggested.
“She got a point there. This Jessica girl doesn’t seem all that scary. Selfish yeah, but scary… no,” Brittany said.
The girl sat the platter with the three sodas on it, in an empty seat. “Look, as good as a petition sounds right about now, we won’t convince the principal to let ninth graders that want to dance, participate in anything. I’m telling you, Jessica Case is not someone you want to be messing with. You guys are new and you don’t want to get on Jessica’s bad side. Everyone leaves her alone. I’d advise you guys not to do anything to make her mad,” Tanya warned them as she took the platter out of the empty chair and walked off.
“I don’t get why everyone is so afraid of this Jessica Case girl. So, she’s rich and can get away with a lot of stuff. You don’t see Kaiba showing off the fact that he’s rich,” Jasmine said.
“I don’t like Kaiba anyway and I’m starting to not like this so called Jessica girl. Forcing these ninth graders to serve tenth, eleventh, and twelfth graders. That’s not fair.” Carmen crossed her arms.
“Well, it can’t be any worse than the news this morning,” Brittany said.
“Oh god, don’t--don’t bring that up right about now. My shoulders still hurt from last night. No one asked you guys about us—I mean the Sailor Senshi… did they?” asked Jasmine.
“Naw, everybody just been talking about how cool it was seeing ya’ll on the news. I didn’t think any of them watch the news,” replied Carmen.
“Me neither. This is a strange town. Very strange. Did you ever figure out who that fairy girl was?” asked Brittany.
“Nope. Me or the other girls have no idea who she is. But… I think I might know who does.”
“Who?” Carmen asked.
“I’m not telling. But… I will find out who she is and where she came from. That’s for sure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JT: Yet another sucky ending.
P: Well… it wasn’t too bad. It keeps everyone in suspense about how Jasmine’s going to find out what and who that fairy girl is.
G: Yeah. I think its okay.
FP: (munching on lays chips) It’s okay. At least you weren’t trying too hard to come up with an explosive ending like some would.
JT: That’s true. It’s still a little rough around the edges though.
G: If anything’s wrong with it, the reviewers will let us know.
P: They always do. Tune in for chap 18 people!
