Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ An American Boy in Tokyo ❯ The Shocking Truth ( Chapter 2 )

"So what's new with you and Darien?" A female in one of the restaurant booths asked. She had long blond hair, pulled back into a pony tail that still hung down to her waist. She was sitting next to another girl with shorter cut blue hair, who was sitting next to a brunette. Across from them were two other girls. The one on the end was obviously pregnant, and also had long blond hair, which was arranged in a dual pony tail fashion, after being partially curled into two balls, one on either side of her head. The girl next to her had long black hair and was much more quiet than the others. As the conversation progressed, I took a seat in another booth, not believing what I was seeing. Serena Campbell? Pregnant? That being the case, her last name was Shields, I thought to myself as I watched them discretely. The waitress walked up and pulled out a note pad and a pencil.

"What can I get for you, son?" She asked.

"Um...a Dr. Pepper will be fine, thanks." I said. The girls stopped their conversation to glance at me briefly.

"Hey, Amy, there's a likely candidate for you." One of them said. I struggled to keep my cool, but I could feel the sweat beading up on my forehead.

"Hey, are you okay?" The waitresses voice snapped me back into reality. "Here's your drink...say...you don't look so good...you're not gonna throw up are you?"

"I-Is it cold in here to you?" I asked, I was shaking uncontrollably.

"Are you crazy? I'm baking alive!" The waitress said before putting my drink on the table and walking off, shaking her head.

"I-I'm going into...shock..." I said quietly, "oh this is just great, Alex, what a first impression passing out will leave them with."

"Excuse me, hey you with the hair." Lita said. "Are you okay over there? You look like you've just seen a ghost or something."

"Y-Y-You're not far off." I said, trying to force a smile.

"Maybe you should get some fresh air?" Mina asked. I nodded slowly, still shaking, and tried to stand up, my legs weren't cooperating with me.

"Oh no, not now." I groaned. This happened whenever I started feeling anxiety, my body froze, I couldn't move a muscle. Suddenly I felt very light headed. "Come on, Alex, move." I said, trying to coach myself. "Don't you dare do this right now."

"Really, kid, you should probably get some fresh air, it is kind of warm in here." Raye's voice flated into my head.

"I'm...fine..." I said, right before everything went black. I opened my eyes after what seemed like hours, all five of the girls were leaning over me.

"Are you ill?" Amy asked. I shook my head. She took a penlight and shined it into my eyes. "He's in shock, must have been a heat stroke."

"I've got to be dreaming." I mumbled. "There is no way that the scouts are sitting here talking to me." My head was shaking. The five girls looked at me wide eyed and then at each other.

"What did you say?" Serena asked.

"I said..." Then I snapped back to my senses like a bolt of lightening just hit me. "Um...I said...nothing." I jumped to my feet in a flash and darted out of the restaurant, jumping in my car and trying to start the engine, but the car wasn't cooperating either.

"Come on you piece of... Ahh!" I shouted and jumped when Lita tapped on the window. I cracked it a little bit.

"Hey, are you okay to drive? You seem delirious." She said. "Raye has a car, she can drive you home." I shook my head.

"N-no thank you, Lita, I'll be fine." I tried one more time and it finally started. I took off like a bat out of hell. The other girls came out of the restaurant and looked at Lita who was now white as a ghost too.

"Um, guys, did we ever tell him our names?" She asked.

"No, why?" Amy replied curiously.

"He called me Lita, how would he know that?!?!?"

"Maybe some more trouble is brewing?" Raye asked. Amy looked confused.

"He seemed a little on the timid side to be trouble, don't you think?"

"Still, timid or not, he knows who we are!" Lita said. "We have to find him, and find out exactly what he knows."

"Why? There hasn't been any Negaverse activity in almost two years." Serena said. "So what if he knows our names. Maybe we know him from somewhere, and just don't remember him."

"But he was talking about the scouts." Lita said. "Doesn't that set off any warning sirens at all?"

"What's the commotion about?" Luna asked walking up to the group. Lita, are you alright?"

"Luna, someone knows who we are. He came in here, ordered a drink, and passed out from shock when we started talking to him. After he woke up he mumbled something about the scouts and then called me by my first name before peeling out and running away like a coward."

"Are you sure that he knows about you?" Artemus asked. "Because if you're wrong, and we go investigate, it would blow our whole cover."

"Lita, I'm telling you, he was dreaming about the scouts when he passed out, and woke himself up talking about them. As for your name, are you sure he's not an ex-boyfriend?" Mina asked. Lita looked thoughtful for a minute.

"I'm sure he wasn't an ex-boyfriend Mina, the guy's a nerd, you saw him didn't you?" She asked. "Why don't we just send Darien over to eavesdrop on him tonight or something, he could go un-noticed."

"True, but there's only one problem with that...we don't know where he lives." Just then the waitress barged out of the restaurant.

"Hey, where'd that kid go, he forgot his wallet." She said holding it out. Lita smiled and walked up to the waitress.

"I'll take it to him, I'm his girlfriend." She said.

"Oh...okay...tell him I took a five for a tip." She said handing it to Lita and walking back inside. Lita flipped the wallet open and pulled out my I.D.

"Oh man, this is an American I.D. card. A lot of help this is." Then the picture section fell out of the wallet. Amy bent down and picked it up, flipping through the pictures. She saw a picture of each of them in uniform inside. Then she pulled Sailor Mercury's picture out to look at it, it was a card. Curious, she flipped it over and dropped the picture holder to the ground as her eyes widened and her face paled.

"Oh my...we're in trouble...he does know..." she said. "Look at this, everything about me, from bloodtype to favorite activities, including my name." She picked up the picture holder again and examined the other cards as the others crowded around her. "It's the same for each of us, Luna, what does this mean?"

"I don't know, Amy, but we'd better find him quickly and get some answers."

Meanwhile, I pulled into my driveway and sighed. "I am in Tokyo, those were the scouts, and I blew it." I said. "Serena's pregnant, that's a relief, at least there's no more fighting to be done for a while." I finally got out of the car and walked up to the house unlocking the door and stepping inside. "It's such a relief to be home." I shook my head and walked around looking for my parents, after ensuring that they weren't here, I smiled. "I knew it, a dream." I then walked over to the breakfast bar and opened a drawer. "Dad, I'm smoking your cigarettes, okay?" I asked. I pulled one out and lit it, then I sat down and popped Sailor Moon S: The Movie into the VCR.

"Okay, Snow Queen, time to get your butt whipped some more." I said. I got a pop out of the fridge and microwaved a hotdog while the previews played. I had just taken them to the table and sat down when the doorbell rang. I looked out the window through the sheer curtains, the car in the driveway looked familiar, but I couldn't place it. I turned back to the television as the main title was shown. Then I walked to the door.

"Who is it? Who's there?" I asked.

"It's the girls from the restaurant, you forgot your wallet." Lita's voice said through the door. I backed away tripping over the coffee table with a crash. I quickly recovered and used the remote to shut off the T.V. just before the door busted open and they spotted me. "Are you okay? It's just not your day is it?"

"Y-You have no idea, Lita, thank you." I said getting up and reaching for the wallet. She looked at me strangely pulling it back.

"You did it again, who are you?" She quickly had me spun around with my arm twisted behind my back. "How do you know who we are?" She shoved me forward to the ground, and my face hit the remote control turning the T.V. back on, showing the girls and Luna standing outside watching the news of the Space Shuttle launch. they all stopped and started backing away slowly.

"Um...guys...are you seeing this?" Lita's voice asked.

"I'm seeing it, alright." Mina said nodding. "but I still don't believe it."
