New Year's Disaster (PG 13) Chapter 2: Strange Discoveries By: sweet saturn "Well obviously the first thing we ought to do is let the other senshi know." concluded Ami. "Well duh!" said Minako. "I'm talkin about how to stop them!" "Oh, well that's something we're gonna have to think over. Better call a meeting." "Hey, Ami I'm gonna grab a bite to eat, you want anything?" asked Greg as he got up to leave. "No Greg, I'm fine, but be on the lookout for..." before she was finished Greg kissed her and said, "Don't worry I'll be on the lookout for some alien seductress trying to tempt me away from you, and I won't let her get to me, I promise." He then walked off towards the refreshment table. Meanwhile in the bathroom Rei was still furious over the episode with Chad. "Oh I hate him! He thinks he owns me and can keep me from seeing other guys! He acts as if we're dating and I'm cheating on him!" Rei exclaimed. "But ummm...Rei you are or rather were going out, so to tell you the truth you were cheating on him." pointed out Usagi. "No we weren't!" said Rei. "Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Usagi saw something glint in the light. She looked for the source and found it was coming from Rei's ear. As she closely examined it she thought it looked sort of like an antenna on a remote control. "What are you doing Meatball Head?! Quit staring in my ear! Is there something so absolutely fascinating about it?!" Usagi ignored her and reached her hand to pull out the object. "Usagi, what are you doing?! You're starting to scare me now! Stop it!" Usagi continued to ignore her and then suddenly grabbed the object, which turned out to be an antenna on a remote control, and yanked it out of Rei's ear. "Owwwww!!! What the..." suddenly Rei stopped in midsentence. She looked around at her surroundings and asked "Usagi, what am I doing here?!" Usagi was just about to explain the occurrence when their communicators went off. Ami's face appeared as she said, “Usagi, Rei there's something weird going on that involves some new enemy! We're having a meeting in the lounge, so get here pronto!" "No time for explanations right now Rei! I'll fill you in later, now c'mon let's go!" said Usagi. Rei, still clueless to what was going on followed Usagi out. Back at the dance hall, Hotaru, who hadn't been paying much attention to the current events, was startled by the scene caused by Rei, the man she was with, and Chad. "That's odd," she thought, “Rei would never do that. Something funny is going on, but I don't quite know what." She went out onto the balcony to think, the folds of her dress swishing softly as she walked. She leaned on the railing gazing out into the night sky filled with stars. She sighed wistfully wishing she had someone special to share the night with. Suddenly she heard whimpering in the garden below. She leaned further over and strained her ears to listen. "Everything is going according to plan." she heard a voice whisper. "Perfect, we'll have them out of the way in no time." added another in a hushed tone of voice. "What an odd conversation" she thought. Suddenly her imagination, which tended to be overactive at times, kicked in. "What if...they're a bunch of psycho serial killers who plan to kill us all! Or maybe...maybe they're planning to pull of a burglary and a murder! Or maybe or maybe...maybe they're evil aliens bent on world domination whose plan is to eliminate all the sailor senshi so we won't get in their way! Or maybe...maybe..." she didn't get to find out what her next thought was for at that moment she had leaned to far over, lost her balance, and toppled from the balcony. "Oof!" she cried as she landed on her butt right in the middle of the alien agents discussing their plans to take over the world and get rid of the sailor senshi. "Who are you?!" demanded the blonde haired female who seemed to be the leader of the group. "Oh just an innocent passerby who just happened to fall from the balcony while gazing at the stars, who didn't happen to hear any of you conversation whatsoever. Lovely evening isn't it?! I think I'll go for a stroll, anyone care to join me? No of course you won't. How silly of me. You all have more important things to do than worry about a silly girl like me. So ummm... I'll just be going now! Bye!" said Hotaru too innocently right before she took off running. "After her!" yelled the blonde. "Why? She said she didn't know anything." said the tall dark brown haired man. "You nincompoop!" shouted the blonde whacking the man on her head with her purse. "Now after her you fools!" With that the whole group took off after Hotaru. "Oh crap it all! I knew this was gonna happen. It's just my luck that they don't believe my story and start chasin' after me!" she muttered under her breath. "Over here!" whispered a voice. Hotaru turned to see who it was. She heard shouting and saw that the group was closing in on her. Quickly she felt a pair of strong hands grasp her wrist and pull her behind a curtain of Wisteria. (yeah I know they aren't in season right now but I love 'em all the same and couldn't resist including them in my story!) The group ran past the vines not bothering to peer behind them. "Where is she?!" screamed the blonde. "I think we lost her!" shouted another voice. "Well find her! She knows too much! She'll ruin all our plans, and she's probably one of those pesky sailor pumpkins that always interfere with our plans! FIND HER!" exclaimed the furious blonde. "Whew!" said Hotaru wiping a bead of sweat from her head. She turned around to see and thank her mysterious rescuer, and found herself face to face with a really cute guy. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* And this concludes chapter 2!
