Those stories are a series called Sailor Moon Guardians. Go to the homepage for more information: http://listen.to/smg. Also, I have a SAILORVENUS SHRINE!! ^_^ http://www.geocities.com/codename_sailorvenus Also, write me, and no one gets hurt. ^_- * * Princess Mina * * ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ A l t e r n a t e * I d e n t i e s ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ p a r t 2 - l o s t i n t h e f o g I was frightened, and weak. My body felt as if I was about to collapse. I couldn't see, hear, or sense anything, except for a faint feeling of some sort of a distant evil. The only thing I wanted was to get out of here. I fought back the urge to call out... but my struggle was fruitless. "Mandi!! Jessy!! Anyone!! Someone!! Please help me!!!" I couldn't breathe... my throat was beginning to close.... it was my asthma! Yet, I continued to run. I ran. Faster... faster..... but I was getting no where. I had never felt more alone . . . . . . . . and then..... "KATE!!!!! IS THAT YOU???" It was Dani! My step sister!!! "DANI! WHERE ARE YOU?" "OVER HERE!!!" "* WHERE * is * HERE *?!?!?" "I DON'T KNOW!!!" Her voice sounded as if it was miles away. "WHO'S THERE??? SOMEBODY????" It was a male voice... but I couldn't quite put my finger on it... Oh! It was Darien. One of Mandi's psycho friends, remember? ^_^ "IS THAT YOU, GIRL I KNOW????" I laughed out loud. Even at a time like this, he *still* managed to call me 'That Girl He Knows'. "Take it as a yes...." "Yeah, it's me." "KATE? DARIEN?? WHERE ARE YOU GUYS??" It was Mandi!! 'This was going to be *impossible* to find each other in this darkness!' I thought. Almost on cue, something began to glow. It was... my neclace! My 'Venus Crystal'!!! Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking. It's not *REALLY* the Venus Crystal. The story behind it is one day, I went to sit down on my bed, and I found it there. I asked mom if it was hers, and she said no. I had never seen it before, but it was pretty, and I thought it kinda looked like Sailorvenus' crystal! Therefore, I decided to string it and make it into a neclace. TRUE STORY!! I SWEAR! Anyway, so.... it was glowing! "Hey... what's up with your neclace?" Turns out, Jessy was standing right next to me! "Whoa! You scared me! How come you didn't scream or anything?" "I couldn't talk. My throat hurt." "Mine too! How weird." "Yeah, no kidding! Where the heck are we, anyway?" "No clue..." "And what's with all this fog??" "That's probably what's giving us the throat aches," Becca added, who was standing next to Jessy. Leave it to her to state the obvious! Dani joined us, and so did Darien. "Hey! Venus!" Mandi ran over to us, and touched my Crystal. "That is just TOO AWESOME! Maybe.... you really ARE Sailor Venus!!" I smiled, and Dani cracked up laughing. "Wishful thinking, Usagi-chan." "Hehe... wishful thinking for ME ya mean..." ^_^ I said. "Well, you never know, Mrs. Demon Expert." Darien joked. "Okay, fine... what's the harm? Venus Crystal Power... MAKE-UP!!!" * cue screwed up Sailorvenus (me ^_^) transformation sequence, complete with lotsa stars, near nudity and backup chanting... ('Sailor Veeenus....') ^_^ * "WHOA!!!! HO-LY...." Ducky, who had just joined the group, said. "KATE?!" Shawn, who also joined the group, asked in disbelief. "Yeah. Nice.. um.. transformation sequence," Darien smiled akwardly. "PERVERTS!!!!" I screamed, and bashed them all over the head, anime style. "Ugh..." they groaned. ^_^; "What the....." Jessy, totally clueless to anything anime related, said. "So you really *ARE* Sailor Venus??" Asked Dani, mouth wide open. "WOW!!!!! NOW ME!!! MOON.. CRYSTAL.... POWER!!!!" Mandi screamed. Nothing happened. "Ergh... maybe you have to do the Japanese sayings.." I said, playing with the bow on my sailor outfit, and anime sweatdropped. "Or maybe you're not Sailormoon..." "STOP THAT! You'll jinx it!!!" I, and the rest of the group, anime sweatdropped again. ^_^; Poor Mandi.... "No! I've got it! You just haven't found your Imperium Silver Crystal yet!!!" "YEAH!! THAT'S IT!!!!" "YEAH!!!!!" The two of us proceced to act like morons. "Can somebody PLEASE tell me WHAT is going on here...?!" Jessy, still confused out of her mind, asked angrily. "Oh.... um... well.... there's this shoujo anime, Bishujo Senshi Sailormoon-" "WHAT?!?! SLOW DOWN!! ENGLISH, PLEASE!!!!!" "Hehe... sorry... anime freak terms. Anyway, there's this JAPANESE CARTOON. It's called Sailor Moon. And.. there are girls who change into super heroes and fight for love and justice. Apparently, I'm Sailor Venus." "Who??" "They're all named after planets, except for Sailormoon. There's Sailormars, Sailormercury, Sailorjupiter, Sailoruranus-" "Okay okay, I think I get it already!" "They use powers and stuff. Oh, yeah! I forgot! I better practice my powers. CRESCENT.... BEAM!!!" * cue another sequence, in which Sailorvenus (ME ^_^) puts her hand on her other arm, and blasts out a beam of light.... * "WHOA!!!! AWESOME!!!" Jessy screamed. "So.. am I somebody?!?" "Don't know...." "This is freaking me out," Shawn put in, and put his arm around Mandi. "Yeah. It certainly is strange." Becca agreed to Jessy. "Got that right..." she said. "... but do I HAVE POWERS TOO??? HUH? HUH???" ::sigh:: .. leave it to Jessy.... :) "If she does, let's just pray she doesn't have one of them 'transformation sequences' or whatever..." Mandi's other psycho friend William added, smiling. "SHUT UP!!!!!" She screamed, and crossed her arms. "So how many of us do we have in our group? Everyone that's here, say your names." "Jessy Lee." "Mandi Tybalt." "Darien Cross." "Becca Dutchess." "Dani Sherwin." "Shawn Elsworth." "William Lowe." "Chad... ::sigh:: Quackenbush." "And me, Kate Peters. So that makes 9 of us?" I asked, and then added, "so THAT'S what his name is!!" ^_^ "So where on earth did everyone else go?" Becca asked Jessy. "Who knows!" She answered. "Well? Are we going to go find them?" Dani asked. "Sure. Why not?" Mandi answered. "Let's go!" "Awww... man..... hey, Venus, could you transform again?" Darien asked me. "Ugh....." I sighed. Sailorvenus (ME! ^_^ are you getting the idea that I like being her yet? ^_^) and the rest of the group are walking around in the fog, with the light of the Venus Crystal. Meanwhile, the only thing going through *my* mind is where the heck is Brian and is he okay?. . . . . . . . . WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN . . . . . . "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! VENUS!!!!" Darien screamed. "Oh, GOD..." I sighed. Why ME?? :) "Yeah, what NOW?!" William added. "Those... 3 shadows.... they're..... I DON'T KNOW!! They could be demons!!!" "Yeah!!!! DEMONS OR PEOPLE FROM THE NEGAVERSE!!!" Mandi put in. "Okay, I'm ready." I stepped up towards the shadows. "Alright, whoever y'all are, SHOW YOUR FACES NOW!!!" I was trembling with fear, and then the mysterious shadows emerged. . . . ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ e n d p a r t 2 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
