Chapter Three

Bunny had completed her final math problem. She was grateful for her mother teaching her little tricks that actually helped her understand the work. It was like her mother had the same problem; but for Bunny it was still like reading an alien script or something. But it was done now and she would not have to think about math or anything else until tomorrow.

With a mighty yawn, she arched her body upwards and stretched, releasing tight muscles and relaxing her body before she cleared away her books and papers. She turned off all the lights, leaving on the hall lights for her mother, before she stopped at her office door. She noticed that her mother's office door was closed but the light was still on. There was nothing out of the ordinary with this, her mother sometimes liked to be in her own little comfort zone when she was trying to create.

Bunny knocked on the door once and called out good night in passing before heading up stairs to the second floor.

Ilene stared coldly at her visitor. The white haired man returned it but with half of the energy.

"Why are you here?" She asked him again.

Her quest looked up at the ceiling, his blue-gray eyes narrowed in concentration. "The Princess-"

"Serenity cannot hear us." She said coolly. "Now, Artemis, you will answer me, why have you abandoned your post?"

Artemis returned his attention to cold woman before him and held out a something that resembled a palm pilot. Ilene looked from him to the machine, then back at him and tipped her head to an angle and frowned.

"Tell Pluto to mind her own damned business." She wanted to scream, but came out like an icy command.

He sighed, "She says what you are doing-"

At that, Ilene jumped up and stared him down. "You tell her I know what I am doing. I am protecting my child, something that was denied to me thousands years ago when my kingdom fell."

"My Queen-" He cried helplessly, but she went on, tears of outrage standing in her now silver eyes.

"I listened to her last time and I watched my daughter kill herself to be with the man she loved. I gave my life to make sure that Serenity would have chance to have the happiness that she so richly deserves. My daughter's wish upon her own heart gave me a second chance to live and be her mother once more and I will not, do you hear me, Artemis, I will not allow Serenity to lose her life for a future that will only destroy her."

"My Queen, please," Artemis pleaded. "Pluto says that we will need Cosmos."

She turned her back to him. "We will not need Cosmos if this timeline is destroyed. Tell Pluto if she dares to question me again, she will know my wraith."

He started to say something more, but stopped. He gave into her will. "It shall be as you command, Your Majesty."

"One more thing, Artemis." The illusion of humanity faded and before Artemis stood the Queen of the Silver Millennium in her radiant glory. "Tell Pluto that the future will not be control be her. My daughter's destiny lies within her own hands not that of the Guardian of Time. Serenity will have peace."

Ami looked up as her mother came in from her late shift at the hospital. She went into the kitchen, grabbed something out of the refrigerator then walked out and head to her room and closed the door.

Not once did she stop to talk to her daughter. She hadn't acknowledged her presence. Ami hid the hurt and buried her face in book.

It was six o'clock in the morning, she had been alone all night. Usually Bunny would have called her and talked with her until both were too tired to stay up.

But Bunny didn't call. And Ami feared that Bunny, like everyone else in her life, did not care about her.

It wasn't until she realized that the words on the pages before her were blurry did Ami realize that she was crying.

Bunny couldn't abandon her like everyone else. She couldn't. She was her best friend and in every respect, she was Ami's only friend. She could not lose her, Bunny was the most important person in her life.

Ami was depressed as she entered her homeroom. She looked back to Bunny's empty seat and pain wrenched her heart, she turned away and tried to focus on the announcements.

In gym, she noticed people staring at her. They were whispering and pointing, and they were looking at her.

She saw Molly standing under a basketball hoop with three other girls. She pasted a bright smile on her face as she trotted over to the redhead and called out a greeting.

Molly glanced at her, but turned away. Ami came up short, the smile dying on her face. "Molly?" She did not know said that aloud.

A girl who looked remarkably like Rei except for their hair lengths marched up to Ami and shoved her back or tried to with little results.

But she would not her shock show. "We heard about what you and your little gang had done to Bunny Tsukino." She said menacingly.

"Kari," Molly pull her friend back, but not before Kari had punched Ami hard in the jaw. Ami remained on her feet, but the girl had split her lip

"Tell that First School Bitch that I will be looking for her," Kari snarled at her. "We all are." She looked around at all of her friends before turning back to the now frighten Ami. "Before Bunny became your friend, Freak, she was our friend. We loved her, we never treated her bad or looked down upon her like some people she now knows."

Ami looked about helpless. She did not understand, what had they done that was so wrong? They would never hurt Bunny, they loved her just as much as everyone else who knew her.

"I would never hurt her. She is my best friend" Ami whispered.

This time Molly was in her face. Her green eyes flashing with hate as she stared into Ami's dark blues. "Well, you did," she hissed. She shoved Ami away from her. "Just a word of warning, Freak. Bunny has a lot of friends in Juuban and not all of them are a kind as we are." She pointed her finger in Ami's face, "You tell your gang they had better watch their backs, someone is bound to get each of you."

Right after school, Ami rushed from the building with Lita close on her heels. During lunch, she had told her tall friend of what was going on. At first Lita was ready to trounce Molly and Kari, then she saw how many were waiting for her to make her reckless attack Lita sat down without a word.

Mina had a somewhat similar day; the only difference was that she ended up being expelled for fighting. Mina had tried to explain her dean as to what had really happened, but there were so many standing against her that the Dean had no choice but to believe them over her, a strange foreign girl, who never associated with anyone.

Rei's attacks did not happen at school, but around the school grounds. A pack of fifty young people followed her to the Crown calling her a witch, freak, and bitch, and those were the polite ones. As she went to enter the Arcade, three guys rushed her, throwing her out of the way and she each of them had stepped on her ankle.

She limped into the arcade and found the girls seated at their favorite spot, minus Bunny. She looked around and noticed that no one sat near them, and Lita seemed to be completely pissed about something.

Holding her head high, Rei limped over to join her friends and collapsed with a tired groan.

Mina took in her appearance in one sweep. "Looks as if they've gotten to you as well, Rei," Mina noted blandly, but her light blue eyes bespoke of a wariness and unease. Something most defiantly wasn't right with this place or the people. There was so much hostility in the air and Mina worried because it all was centered on them.

Rei nodded at Lita, "What's wrong with her?" she asked no one in particular.

Ami, who sat for the first time without a book in her hands, looked at her tall, glowering friend, then at Rei. "We've been here for close to an hour and no one has served us."

"What?" Rei indignantly.

Mina nodded curtly, "Even Andrew has turned against us and I cannot for the life of myself figure out why."

"They all seem to think that we hurt Bunny." Lita nearly growled.

"What on earth would cause them think that?" Mina demanded.

Rei scoffed. "We would never hurt that Odango Atama. She's too happy to hurt and she would never hold a grudge."

"Maybe that true before." Mina looked at those around them. It looked as if they were waiting for some signal to pounce on the girls at the table. "But that doesn't seem to be the case now." She finished uneasily.

"Of course it true," Rei cried. "So what if we fight, she apologizes to us and we move on until the next time she makes her ass of herself and needs to be corrected." She declared, exasperated. "I mean that girl is so stupid she wouldn't know which was up or down unless some pointed it out to her; And please let's not forget how she is forever falling over herself and taking ten others with her. And how lazy she is and after seeing her mother, I know why she's the way she is. Her mother spoiled her, giving her everything and never making her work for it. I can really understand why Luna was always on her case-"

"Alright, Rei," Andrew, the handsome young manger of the crown, said sharply as he approached the girls' table. "I think you should leave now."

She stared at him speechless.

Mina opened her mouth to protest, but Andrew saved her the time.

"How about all of you leave," he told them, his pale green eyes were cold and distant. "And don't come back. You are ban from this place."

Poor Lita looked as if her heart had been ripped out of her chest, she had the biggest crush on Andrew and to hear this…

"Fine," Rei screamed as she jumped to her feet. To her credit, she did not wince at the horrible pain shooting up her right leg. "It's not like this is the only café in Juuban, we don't need to come here. The food and the service are lousy anyway."

"Whatever," he said nonchalantly, "Just don't come back. You four are not welcomed here."
