Fast and the Furious

"Does anyone else have anything to add about the last battle?" Artemis asked glaring at the girls before him.

Silence followed his question and seemed to hang in the air between everyone. The last battle had been brutal each senshi was sustaining physical and mental scars that wouldn't heal any time soon. The youma were getting stronger, coming in groups more often, and becoming increasingly more dangerous. The senshi barely had time to sleep, eat or breathe for extended periods.

"Fine then, the meeting is over. However, we will be training tomorrow morning at six a.m." Artemis said angrily as he heard groans and mumbling.

"But Artemis, tomorrow is Saturday. We all had plans to…" Minako started, but was cut short as he turned his gaze to her.

"Too bad, look at the way all of you fought, minus Haruka and Michiru. It's sloppy, you made countless mistakes, and you nearly got killed yesterday. All of you need more training. We are nearly defenseless against them!" He finished.

Minako looked at the ground, tears coming to her eyes. "Sorry," she whispered.

"You imply that we didn't even fight to the best of our ability! We barely have the power to defeat these monsters! Let's not even mention the fact that we can't find the princess, who is supposed to lead us!" Rei cried angrily standing up, "We all do the best we can! The only reason Minako almost got killed is because she was saving your hairy ass! But do you show gratitude!" she continued advancing towards the now cowering white feline. "The meeting is over! I'm tired of listening to you gripe about our fighting abilities. Come on Minako, our favorite show is coming on in ten minutes." She finished guiding the still sniffling blonde out of the room. They were quickly followed by Makoto and Ami.

Artemis watched them leave the room and then turned to Luna and the outer senshi. "I suppose I deserved that, we haven't let them rest enough. They're still rather new to all of this. Without the princess it is a lot tougher." He whispered, guilt seeping into him for yelling at the senshi so harshly.

"We will attend the practice tomorrow to help and to watch." Haruka responded taking Michiru's hand in her own and moving into the room where the others had disappeared to. As they walked towards the door they could hear the other senshi complaining about how unreasonable Artemis was being.

"I wish we could just find the princess. Where do you think she might be?" Makoto asked as Michiru and Haruka entered the room.

"Hey Rei, where's the remote?" Minako yelled into the kitchen where Rei was preparing snacks for everyone. "Never mind I found it!" She yelled she picked up the desired object and hit the power button.

"We bring you breaking news this evening, of a high speed chase that is taking place on highway 242. The chase started at 4:30 this afternoon and has been going on for a half an hour. It began at Blue Diamond Mall and we have just identified the driver as a local High School student named Usagi Tsukino. She is driving a candy apple red mustang convertible at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. If any of you plan on heading this way tonight please proceed with caution. We will update you on the situation as soon as we can." The reporter said as they showed a live feed of the chase from the news helicopter. In the right hand corner of the screen a picture of an attractive short-haired blonde appeared. The girls looked at the screen in shock.

"Hey! Doesn't she go to our school?" Ami asked starring at the picture.

"Yeah, I think she does." Minako answered.

"Next time you see her, ask her if she's interested in racing." Haruka chuckled.

"No one answered my question!" Makoto spoke up, "Where do you think the princess could be?"

"I don't know, anywhere. I think the more important question is, who is she?" Rei replied as she brought in the food and glanced at the television. "Well that's not surprising is it? We've all heard of Usagi. Didn't you tell me the other day that you saw her stuffing Umino in his locker, Ami?"

"Yes I did nothing but a common bully." Ami responded.

"Let's see if our show is on now," Minako said changing the channel.
