Note about the next few chapters- Wingdings won't work on this format, so any strange, misplaced character in all probability is supposed to be a Wingding.
~ Part 1: I Dreamt I Woke Up ~
Rachel walked home from her bus stop alone. Her friend was sick that day, and walking home with her step-sister was the last thing she wanted. She brushed her pale hand through dark tresses, and, from the corner of her eye, noticed a small gray kitten with a strange bald spot following her. The bald spot vaguely reminded her of a similar crescent shaped mark beginning to appear on her own cat's forehead.
Rachel walked a little further; the kitten followed. She walked a bit farther then abruptly turned around. The kitten looked at Rachel as if studying her, then, as if showing its approval, meowed.
"Are you lost little kitty?" Rachel asked the small feline. "Well you have no tags. I guess I'll just sneak you into the house and get you something to eat, how's about that?" The cat responded with an excited meow. "Do you have a name?"
"Di-,"the cat started.
"WHAT?!" I swear that cat just said something, Rachel thought.
"Meow!"
"Let's see... cat names, cat names... um...Penny? Cleo? But there's that crescent mark on your forehead. Hmm... maybe... Artemis?"
The cat looked up expectantly.
"... Diana?"
"MEOW! MEOW!"
Strange, Rachel pondered, how the cat seemed to understand English.
~oO Oo~
Later that night, Rachel had a dream. Her friends Autumn, Bunny, and Tessa were with her. They were all wearing similar, sailor-like uniforms.
Autumn was playing with her blonde hair, and her blue eyes betrayed her nervousness. Bunny seemed completely unaffected, attempting to make small braids in her unbelievably long black hair. Once she was done with one braid, the Filipino girl switched to the other side of her head, making sure there was an even amount of braiding on each side. Tessa was playing with her sunglasses, which seemed out of place with the uniform, although normally they were either holding back her light brown hair or covering her green eyes.
A young Asian woman appeared before them. She too wore the small sailor uniform, though hers appeared more elaborate. Her indigo skirt and collar were studded with diamonds, giving it the appearance of stars in a midnight sky. She had silver bows in the front of her collar and on the back of her skirt. She wore a black choker with a small gold star on it and a gold tiara with a diamond where it came down on her forehead in the center. She had large black boots that came to the top of her shin and arched to her knee in the front. In the center were small crystal charms that looked like an eight-pointed star, with the bottom point being longer than the rest. The top inch of the boots were lined in silver trim.
She also held a large staff, about a foot or so taller than she was. On top of the staff was a crescent moon, encrusted in diamonds, topaz, and sapphires. On the ends of the moon was an opal star. The ornament sat atop a small base made of turquoise, which had four silver stems that branched upward and out, and curled at the ends. From each of these stems, a tiny silver chain dangled, revealing a small gem charm at the end. There was a crystal thunderbolt, a sapphire water droplet, an emerald leaf and a ruby flame. The entire staff flowed flawlessly down to the ground and was studded with small amethyst gems at the top and bottom. The bottom portion had silver appendages on one side giving it the appearance of a key.
"Hello," the woman said in a distant, echoing timbre. "My name is Sailor Antares. I was appointed by Neo Queen Lady Mistress Lima Bean to bring twelve girls from the 21st century to protect the kingdom of Crystal Tokyo in the 40th century. You are the first four of those twelve."
"Wait! Wait!" Autumn exclaimed quickly. "How did you decide that we were going to be the ones to protect this 'Crystal Tokyo'? And what do you mean '40th century'?"
"Lima Bean?" Bunny asked incredulously.
"Yes Lima Bean. It's her nickname. Much like yours is Bunny, Valyn," Antares said a bit annoyed.
"Oooooh. Hey! How did you know my name?" Bunny asked.
"I've been watching you for quite some time. I've picked up on your names. Now then..." Sailor Antares came forward. "I think it's about time I gave you your transformation pens and got you started on your mission."
"Mission?" Rachel wondered out loud.
"I'll get to that. But now, you need your transformation pens." Antares held out her staff and four pens, each topped off with a jewel and an engraved zodiac sign, appeared before her. She grabbed the red pen with the ^ (Aeries) symbol.
"Tessa, you are Sailor Aeries. The red of your uniform and the orange of your bows represents your element and power: fire. Your jewel is garnet. When you must transform, hold up the pen and say 'Aeries constellation power'." Tessa also wore red combat boots and a gold tiara with a ruby in the center.
Antares reached for the light blue pen with the ` (Gemini) symbol on it. "Bunny, you are Sailor Gemini. The purple of your uniform and the pink of the bows represents the evening and morning skies and also your element and power: air. Your jewel is topaz. When you must transform, hold up your pen and say 'Gemini constellation power'." Bunny wore large purple boots that came up to mid-shin and the same gold tiara but with an amethyst in the center.
"Autumn," Antares started after taking the blue-green pen with the e (Scorpio) symbol. "You are Sailor Scorpio. The blue-green of your uniform and the green of the bows represents your element and power: water. When you must transform, hold up your pen and say 'Scorpio constellation power'." Autumn had blue boots that came to her thighs and almost met the skimpy skirt and her tiara held a topaz gem.
Antares took the silver pen with the d (Libra) symbol on it and handed it to Rachel. "You are Sailor Libra. The black of your uniform and the light blue of your bows symbolizes the night sky and your element and power: air. When you must transform, hold up your pen and say 'Libra constellation power'." Rachel wore indigo boots that arched to the knees on the sides. The top was lined with light blue and her tiara was centered on a star sapphire.
"There are eight more Zodiac Soldiers you must find. There will be one more with the power and element of air, two with water, two with fire and three with earth. It is your mission to find them. You will find that, if you have a pet cat, it has begun to get a bald spot on its forehead. Soon it will be able to take and take position as your guardian. But until then, I must visit you in your dreams, and Diana, the gray kitten, will be around to help me.
'When the time comes and you need to fight, you will find you already know your attacks. You will learn more as you become stronger and gain experience. Be prepared. Neo Queen Lady Serenity, King Helios, Neo Queen Lady Mistress Lima Bean, the Sailor Senshi and I wish you the best of luck. Take care, Zodiac Senshi." Sailor Antares looked tired and fairly well winded. She turned around and disappeared into the dream world mist.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Rachel awoke with a start. "Damn alarm clock," she muttered to herself. Well, she thought, time to get ready for school. She pushed away the night's dream for lunchtime conversation.
