Gundam Wing Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Generation Extreme ❯ Michael, Alex, and a Stranger in the Park ( Chapter 2 )

Hope: Gone. All gone.

Sarie: I don't believe that it was just an accident. *she toyed with her pony tail* I think it was murder.

Rini: Sarie, no one knew they were Pilots and Scouts, and they certainly aren't anymore. I think it was just a mishap. Other people died in that, not just them. We can't say they were targets. Not yet, at least.

Hope: I wish I could find the one who staged it. I'd burn them to a crisp.

Sarie: I'd help too.

Gina: I can't believe it still. It seems so impossible.

Iris: I know, I guess we totally took them for granted.

Hope: I know I did.

Rini fingered the locket's rim and sighed. Sarie had begun to wear her hair the same way her mother had, with the same hair tie, and Gina had worn the soft, cloth hat that had been her mother's every day since the accident. Only Hope had nothing really important that was her mother's. She only had paper, no notes, no pictures, no jewelry, just papers she'd have to use in battle. Then she went back every day and tried to find something that had been her mother's, or even her father's, but found nothing, nothing at all. The girls were soon assigned to new families by Luna. She had refused to go with the scouts, and Artemis had also stayed. They were good families, and they had been fooled into thinking they were the scouts's real families. But Hope was terrible to them, always telling them they weren't her family, her family had died in a fire.

She had secretly taken all of her mom's belongings, and the few her father had aquired. The furniture and things stayed, but clothes, pictures, bills, she took everything with their name, handwring, face on it. She wouldn't accept that they had left her nothing, when everyone else got a momento. So she ran away. On her trip she was grabbed and shoved into and alley. She touched the wand for a moment but saw his Blue eyes and pale brown hair and paused. She hesitated, and she knew that was her first mistake. He threw a punch and she ducked it, he regained his balance easily, but she had her fists raised.

Hope: What d'you want?

Guy: I wanted to ask if you could help me. I'm lookin for a guy named Heero.

Hope: He's dead.

Guy: No he's not.

Hope: My father died in a fire two weeks ago. I'd rather not talk about it, okay?

Guy: Sorry. *sighs* I didn't know...

Hope: How could you?

Guy: *holds out a hand* I'm Alex. Your dad and mine were

friends. And he knew my mom too.

Hope: And his name was?

Alex: Duo, my mom's Relena. They were wondering if they could send me of to be a "good guy" or whatever she is, but I really want to be a pilot... Is Chang Wufei-

Hope: Wufei, Lita, Ami, Greg, Serena, Darien, Heero, Rei, Quatre and Mina all died in the same fire. There are no more Pilots but your dad, and Trowa, other than Trieze and Zechs, but they wouldn't be as willing to teach a Gundam's kid... so, I'd find Trowa.

Alex: He's already said no.

Hope: Ugh, c'mon, I'll see what I- wait! Duh! Iris!! C'mon. *she takes him to Iris's new home and knocks*

Iris: Hope? And, a cute guy? If you want to run away again, the answer is NO, I will not give you a lift, so-

Hope: It's Duo's kid- Iris, meet Alex. Alex, This is Quatre's daughter. She learned how to be a Pilot.

Iris: Duo's? Didn't he marry some girl...Hilde or something?

Alex: *half smiling* Relena.

Iris: *wince* Oh.

Alex: I want to be a Pilot. Teach me!! Please!!!!!!

Iris: Okay, I'll have to start tomorrow.

Alex: Fair enough.

*hope starts walking away and he follows*

Hope: I'll have to trick them.

Alex: Who?

Hope: My fake family, I needed one after my real parents died. I wonder what I should do.

Alex: I wouldn't know.

Hope: How old're you?

Alex: 16.

Hope: Okay.

Alex: So,

Hope: You're my cousin, okay?

Alex: Ya, sure. *she opens the door and he follows*

Hope: I'm home!

Mom: Where were you?!?!?!?! You had us worried sick!!!

Hope: I had to pick up Alex, from the bus station, I told you, and you were the one who told me to go get him, he'll be staying for a while, and going to our school since his parents are getting divorced, and he wanted to be away from it.

Mom: Oh!! Right!! I didn't recognize you!! Sorry!! Dinner's in 45 minutes. *she ran upstairs to tell Barret, her son*

Hope: I used my mediumistic powers on her, you'll have to get used to that. I get whatever I want with these people. My mom could sense it, and she'd ground me, but these people... they have nothing to detect it with.

Alex: Will you ever use it on me?

Hope: Probably.

Alex: I'd just hurt you.

Hope: I could make you think you're a squirrel. You wouldn't hurt me, I control fire, can fight and am a psychic...sorta, so, you can't do anything-

Alex: My father is the God of Death, I could do SOMETHING...I'm sure.

Hope: Wanna test that theory?

Alex: How old are you?

Hope: 14.

Alex: I don't pick on kids, grow into your attitude, then I'll think about it.

Hope: Ugh. Mom! I'm going to show Alex around town, and refresh his memory, we'll be back in time for dinner!!

Mom: Ok, Hope!

Hope: Bye.

Alex: Hey!! *runs after her* You said you'd show me around!!

Hope: I also said I was your cousin.

Alex: Where are you going?

Hope: You aren't coming like that. You should've borrowed some of Barry's clothes. *starts unbuttoning shirt*

Alex: Uh, what're you doing?

Hope: Going to K.K. *reveals a red tanktop and her necklace, and sinches up her purple skirt. She forced her hair into two pig-tail half-buns and put in earrings that were silver orbs, from which hung a sleek piece of silver, at the end of the silver was a ruby orb. She pulled up her white knee socks and revealed red, high heels that she had gotten fitted to be a bit smaller, and the socks helped. They had been her mom's*

Alex: K.K.?

Hope: Klub Kids, its where all the minors hang out. Since we can't go to real clubs.

Alex: Can I come?

Hope: Hm. *brushes his hair with her red nails, and tugs on his shirt and pants* There. Now you won't embarrass me.

Alex: You care about what people think?

Hope: Yup. I have a reputation, I can't show up with some goofy lookin' guy. You look better now. At least look on the bright side, your eyes will be the object of everyone's affection.

Alex: Wha'?

Hope: You're a cute guy, and the girls thee are always looking for a cute guy to get their boyfriends jealous. It's really interesting how all my dates end up going out with 15-year-olds. But, you aren't my date.

Alex: Right.

Hope: In ya go,*holds open door* In! *pushes him in and follows* Over here.

Rini: You look fabulous as usual, and there's a gorgious guy behind you, as usual. Hm.

Gina: so, who's he? Another guy you met at Iris's garage/

Hope: No. *sits* he's Duo's son, and he's staying at my place, we're pretending he's my cousin. Iris's gonna teach him how to be a Pilot. He's the only reason I'm not in Nothern Japan. I'd be on my way away from this damn fake family if he hadn't asked about my dad.

Sarie: Your house?

Rini: Aren't you a bit youn-

Hope: If you don't want to fully understand the expression fists of fire you guys better shut up! I don't even like him, he calls me kid and won't even fight me.

Alex: So, Kid you gonna tell me who these little friends of yours are?

Gina: I'm Gina, That's Sarie, Rini, Iris, and there's Hope, whom you already know.

Alex: Any other info I may need to know?

Sarie: 15, and free.

Rini: 16 and available.

Gina: 15 and too busy with school.

Iris: 15 and don't like anything without wheels and an engine.

Hope: 14 and not interested...at all, in anything.

Alex: Gina, Sarie, Rini, Iris and Kid. Got it. *sits by Sarie and Rini* So,

Hope: Jackass.

Sarie: You wanna-

Guy: Hope.

Hope: *turns* Charlie, hello.

Charlie: I was wondering what you were doing tomorrow night.

Hope: I'm not sure yet.

Charlie: I was wondering if you'd like to go back out.

Hope: I don't know...

Charlie: Please? I'll take you somewhere special this time.

Hope: I'll have to call you or something.

Charlie: *sulkily* Ok. *walks away*

Hope: So, Alex, obviously this Kid is doing pretty well for herself, she has friends, a... family, a good education so far, the power of fire, and can fight. I've got everything you don't.

Alex; I don't want guys like him coming onto me.

Hope: Me niether, but they're fun to play with. I have a date with Michael tomorrow. He's my boyfriend, I just never tell them no, but never say yes, very funneee.

A pair of arms went around her.

Michael: Hey.

Hope: Hey, I havn't seen you in a while.

Michael: I told you... I was out of town, for my grandpa's funeral.

Hope: How many Grandfathers do you have?

Michael: Two.

Hope: Three have died.

Michael: One was my great grandpa, but he liked us to call him grandpa, he said to nix the great b/c it made him feel old.

Hope: Hm. *doubtful*

Michael: You do believe me, don't you?

Hope: Sure.

Michael; *thinking* 'I wish I could tell you, Hope.'

Days and weeks passed and then, finally, after many battles, and many wounds, and falls, and mistakes Hope turned 15. And with this, on her birthday she got a new Communicater, so did the other scouts, but hers was special. It had been her mom's, all the others' were new. She got to try it out a few days later.

Hope was walking with Alex by a playground and then A scream rang in the air and batted at their eardrums. Hope ran to the scream and told Alex to go home. He followed at a safe distance, and watched as a figure moved in the trees.

Hope: You'll be sorry you picked on these people, Mister. I'm not going to let you reek havoc and hurt these citizens anymore!! *transforms* I'm Sailor Mrs, and I have the Power of Fire, and in the name of the Planet Mars, I will punish you!!

Evil Dude: Well, Sailor Mars you'll be seein stars when I'm done with you, you see, I have the power of two. *Sends Black fire at her*

Mars: Oh really? *fights his fire with hers and her knuckles turn white and her hands turn red as she clenched them tight while trying to focus on the fire* Ahhhhh! *flies back and is scorched with flames*

E.D: Obviously so.

Mars: unpmh. *sits up while squinting with one eye as the other is completely closed, and slowly stands, while holding her right arm she sways* I don't care if you're more powerful than me. I still have something you'll never have. I have a soul, and if I die I'll come back because I'm pure of mind and of heart. My mother died after defending this world and so will I, but I certainly will not die while defending it. My mom valued virtues, and pride, and I have a lot of both, and with that I will beat you. *holds up a piece of paper she had made* I call upon the power of fire. Mars fireball Charge! *she flung it onto the man* Now, lets see who'll see stars!! Mars Fire Ignite!!!! *he burned to a cinder*

Alex: Mars!! *she looks up drowsily and sees a man leap from the trees*

Mars: wha- who're you?

Man In Mask: I'm a friend, don't worry. *He wears a black mask and a dark blue jacket and pair of slacks over bluish boots, and a yellow shirt with a red, half un-done tie*

Mars: If you saw me transform it's only fair you tell me.

M.I.M.: I will, just not yet, for now I leave you with this, and my name. I'm called The Blue Renegade. *hands her a blue buttercup and jumps back, and disappears into the shrubbery*

Mars: Hm.

*Next Day*

Hope: I hope no one's allergic to flowers.

Rini: Why?

Hope: I was at a battle yesterday and afterwards this guy called The Blue Renegade jumps out and talks to me, and hands me this. *holds up flower*

Michael: Hi, girls- *blinks at flower* And shrubbery. So, we still on for tonight?

Hope: I guess.

Michael: Don't get too attatched to a flower, it always eventually wilts and dies.

Hope: I guess.

Michael: Just don't, okay? All flowers die.

Gina: Do you think the flower's competition?

Michael: No.

Gina: Then why're you suddenly so...defensive and all?

Michael: I'm just stating facts, I thought you of all people would appreciate that.

Gina: Hm.

Michael: I better get to my detention.

Hope: Yeah, I have the same one. Bye guys!!

All: Bye!!
