Invoices
Usagi, Mamoru, Ami, Minak, Rei, and Makoto had gathered at Rei’s shrine on a Sunday afternoon in early spring. What made this meeting unusual was the fact that Setsuna had summoned them. Once the six had arrived, she handed each of them a thick envelope and left without a word. The girls opened their envelopes with puzzled faces that turned into bulging eyes and dropped jaws.
‘I can’t afford this!’
‘How much for dry cleaning? I haven’t used that many roses!’ shouted the only man in the building.
‘I always wondered why my computer still worked after all those years. And how it had data on events after the fall of the Moon Kingdom.’
‘Waaaaaaaaa! I’ll never pay this off!’
‘There goes my dream of opening a business. No one will loan me money with this debt over my head.’
‘I never knew I had a castle! The commute would be a pain, though.’
‘Um, there seems to be something at the bottom,’ Ami said. ‘“If you cannot pay this, I have another option. Read the card.’ She fished out a slim piece of plastic somewhat larger than a credit card that simply said, ‘Bend me’ in swirling script.
Ami did as the card instructed and a hologram of Setsuna’s face appeared above the card. It said, ‘Are you looking for a purpose in life? A little excitement? Maybe even learn a few skills you can use in a second career? Then join the Pluto Armed Forces!’
Ami set the card on the table and the others gathered around as a man in a severe silver-trimmed black uniform replaced Setsuna. His silver hair shone under an invisible spotlight. ‘I am Lord Scorpio, Commander-in-chief of the Pluto Army. We can turn the most limp-wristed momma’s boy into an unstoppable killing machine. We also train medics, mechanics, and pilots. Join us in the defense of Sol System, the proud few who stand against the darkness beyond.’
Scorpio saluted and faded away. A woman in an almost identical uniform took his place. She said, ‘I am Lady Aries, Commander of the Royal Navy. With us, you will serve onboard the most advanced ships in the system, with the opportunity to travel to the stars. Exotic ports and foreign peoples are just a phone call away.’
Setsuna returned, wearing the same uniform with more medals and trim than either of the other two. ‘Swear fealty to me, Lady Pluto, and begin your career today.’ The hologram faded away.
‘She’s not serious, is she?’ Minako asked. ‘She knows we don’t have the time to commit to this.’
‘I don’t wanna join the military!’ Usagi whined.
‘Everyone, look, there’s something else,’ Ami said. Curling script was appearing above the card, tracing out a short message.
Rei read it. ‘“Check the calendar?” What is that supposed to mean?’
Ami pulled a planner from her purse and hit her head twice against the table, but not very hard. She threw it down for everyone to see. The current week began on April 1.
