A lone figure stood in the middle of what seemed to be a desert. The figures clothing stretched far from its body as it began to get longer and wider near their feet. Behind, or so it seemed, the figure was the sun. It was setting so all was dark. Light didn’t touch the face of this ‘thing’, but it touched it’s hair. A prism of light hit a few strands on its left side. It was gray hair! Ikkyoku tried to step further, but she suddenly found a cliff in front of her. Just as the figure turned around, light hit Ikkyoku’s face making it unable to see.
Ikkyoku’s alarm went off. She sat up in bed wondering who that was. Ikkyoku looked to her clock. It was 6:34 am. She decided to get ready quickly. In 5 minutes time she was out of the shower. 3 minutes later her uniform was on. Her hair was still up in a towel when she began to make a meal for her admirer. Inside it she put a sandwich, shrimp, sauce, a bag of chips, cookies, crab, fish, chicken, and a 20-oz Coca-Cola. Ikkyoku thought for a moment and wrote a note.
She stuck it inside the little box and went and put her make up on. 7:15 AM rolled around when she was ready. Ikkyoku decided to listen to the radio. When she turned it on, she heard there was a murder the night before. Her mouth dropped open. The clock turned to 7:16 AM and she decided to leave. Ikkyoku grabbed her items and left. “I can’t believe there was actually a MURDER here!” Ikkyoku thought as she quickly walked to school. She soon got to her classroom and saw she was the first there.
She set the box upon her desk and left. Hopefully the admirer would take the box. Later when class was about to start she went back to the classroom. Instead of a present or box, there was a sealed letter on her desk. She put it in her briefcase carefully. She’d open it later. Ikkyoku smiled, she’d see her secret admirer! The morning flew by, and it was soon lunch. “So! Did you do it?!” Makoto asked excitedly. Ikkyoku nodded. “Well?!” Minako practically yelled.
“He left a letter...” she said while chewing on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. “What’s it say?!” Usagi asked. “I don’t know... I’ll read it later though.” she said, a bit nervous. The girls went silent for a moment. Ikkyoku looked up. “Did you guys hear about the murder last night?!” Ikkyoku shot out. The girls looked at each other and shook their heads. “Nope!” Amy said and began to study. “You know! Exams are in a few months! We should start studying...>.>“ she said changing the subject.
“It’s too early! Studying too much is bad for my brain!” Usagi whined. “And if I think too hard my head hurts!” Minako whined Makoto sighed and shook her head. Ikkyoku took a bite out of her hotdog. “So! Are we going anywhere this weekend??” Ikkyoku said after swallowing her bit of hotdog. “Well, I’m going to be studying...” Amy said shyly and added that she was also going to be out of town. “Yeah, and Rei will be visiting her cousin. I’m going with her...” Minako said right before Makoto told where she was going. “I’m going to help out at a day care. And then I’m going to...”
Ikkyoku sighed. “Where are you going Usagi? I’m possibly going to a training camp.” Usagi said she might stay home. Amy began reading to herself while eating a sandwich. The group sat quietly for a little while. Ikkyoku had pulled out her science book and began to do some homework. Minako sipped on her milk. She saw Frederick and smiled. “Ikkyoku, you think Frederick would go out with me?” Minako asked and turned to her. Ikkyoku looked at Minako and shrugged. “I don’t think he’s really my type though.” Minako said and shrugged too. The bell rang, meaning lunch was over.
All of the students flooded into the halls, rushing to class. Ikkyoku changed into her dance clothes for the day. “We have a substitute?” Ikkyoku said aloud as a different woman stood in front of the class. “Yes! Just call me Miss K! ^^” she said, standing up. “All right! Follow my steps! We’re going to do DISCO!” she said and smiled. The whole class began laughing as people fell or messed up badly. Ikkyoku was new to ‘Disco Dancing’ and therefore, she messed up the most. “Really? Never heard of it? Well then! What do you know?” Miss K asked. “Ballroom dance, salsa, break dancing, ballet, swing, and a few others.” she said kind of proud, kind of embarrassed.
“Wow! Really? Do you want to Salsa or Ballroom for us?” Miss K asked. “Sure! ^^ Frederick! Come on!” Ikkyoku said and got ready to salsa. She knew if he could Salsa, then change to ballroom, and then swing, then he was HER Frederick. “S.B.S., ok?” she said got in position. Frederick nodded and Miss K turned on some salsa music. They began dancing, so far he knew it all. “You know, S.B.S. is the code for the dance I did with my old boyfriend...” Ikkyoku told him as they danced around the room. They went together like the sun and the planets, correct.
“Switch! Ballroom!” Ikkyoku yelled as the two began to Ballroom dance. They danced that way for a while until Frederick yelled,” SWING!” The music was changed and they began to swing dance. “How do you know that code?” Ikkyoku asked, almost out of breath. “I’ll tell you later...” he said and focused on dancing. They stopped in a pose, both out of breath. The whole class clapped loudly. They all had questions for the two. After school everyone was informed on their dancing. “You danced with Frederick?! Wow! And he was good, right?!” Minako asked, hyper.
“Yeah, he knew all the moves. ^~” Ikkyoku said and winked. “Wednesday...hmmm! I’m surprised we don’t have much work to do!” Ikkyoku said and shrugged. “What do you mean?” Makoto asked confused. “Back at home we had piles of homework on Wednesdays.” Ikkyoku explained. She also told them how she was home schooled at first, but went to a public school when she was 9. And the year before she moved to Japan, her school went to a private school. “It was like a public school though, they hadn’t changed the rules yet.” she explained.
“All of the students stayed, and new ones came.” Ikkyoku said. She saw her block and said she had to go home. “Alright! Bye!” she said, and waved, heading straight. Ikkyoku sighed. She missed her friends. She unlocked her back door and walked in. She set down her little briefcase and sat down. “Oh! The letter! I forgot all about it!” Ikkyoku said and opened her briefcase. After searching for a moment she found it. It was actually pretty. Inside of the envelope were 3 letters. The writing consisted of cut out letters from magazines. Ikkyoku opened the first one. It read:
“Dear Ikkyoku, I love you. I will meet you at the park under a cherry tree, like you want. The food you gave me smells and looks good. Go to the next letter.”
Ikkyoku folded it back up. She grabbed the other letter and began to read it.
“I’ll have a gift for you. Do you remember me, because I remember you. You haven’t been yourself ever since you came to Earth. Do you miss your friends and family?”
She wondered who could know so much about her. She opened the last letter.
“I have to go now, don’t forget. Go there either 3:00 PM tomorrow or Saturday at 1:00 PM. Bye. -Your Love”
Ikkyoku thought for a few minutes. She grabbed paper and wrote back. The next day (Thursday) Ikkyoku left the note on her desk. The day flew by and later before school ended the ‘mystery man’ read Ikkyoku’s letter. It read:
“Dear Whoever, Ok then. I’ll meet you at the park on Saturday at 1:00 PM. If you don’t show up by 1:45 pm, I’ll leave. I might see you then. Good Bye. -Ikkyoku Senbotsu”
He folded it up and went to bed. The next day was Friday, and it went by faster than any other day that week for Ikkyoku. Saturday birds chirped merrily as the sun laid on Ikkyoku’s bed, and moved to her eyes. Covering her face from the light, she moved out of bed. She looked to her clock, which read 11:02 AM. She ran down her stairs and made herself scrambled eggs and a piece of toast. Ever so quickly did she spread the butter thinly onto the toast and put syrup on her eggs.
She turned on the t.v. to watch the news while eating. At about 11:40 AM she put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, turned off the t.v., and got in the shower at 11:51 AM. The clock struck noon when she came out of the bathroom. Ikkyoku grabbed dark blue faded Capri's that had soft leather keeping 6” at the bottom tied together. Hanging from the leather were 2 beads on each side of the Capri's. She then grabbed a multicolored shirt that had added riveted sleeves. (Like in JLo’s ‘Aint it Funny’ remix.)
Ikkyoku slipped her outfit on and brushed her hair. She slipped on her tan and white sandals and, after grabbing a box of food, left for a walk. Meanwhile on the ship... Iris smiled as she found a target. Toki, the girl’s name, looked very much Japanese. She was walking to a store filled with toys and other things. Iris had made something new for her to buy. Special playing cards that once touched in a certain way by her, would transform her into the creature she rubbed.
Iris smiled once again and transported to the store 5 minutes before Toki would enter. Iris knocked out the women there and hid them in a room. She took an outfit and put it on. Iris stood at the counter and waited for a moment. A bell rang as the door was pushed open and in walked Toki. She looked at the turn rack and saw a package of red and golden picture cards. On them were golden symbols. Quickly she grabbed the pack and bought it. Iris smiled sweetly as Toki left the store.
Toki quickly ran home to check out her new cards. She ran through her house to her room. She silently closed the door & locked it. Toki opened the box and set out each card, picture up. One card caught her eye. It was a fire fairy. She grabbed it and lightly rubbed it in awe. Suddenly in a flash of golden light Toki was transformed into the figure on the card. Instead of the short teenage Japanese girl, there stood a beautiful fairy. She had a beautiful soft face with orange eyes and red lipstick that shone as if her lips were extremely wet.
In the lipstick were little sparkles called ‘diamonds’. Her dress was very light and white. It was too beautiful for an angel to wear. It went to her knees and wasn’t see through. The fairy also had large wings and orange hair that was curled. She walked to the window, which was closed and too small, and jumped through it. She cut her left wing on the top arch of it. Iris walked to the East Side of the park, and Ikkyoku was supposed to be on the West Side.
But in order to get to the West Side, she’d have to pass through the East Side. The fairy, larger than a normal fairy, flew to Iris, eventually flying over Ikkyoku. Ikkyoku had held out her hand, trying to catch a falling petal. Instead, a large drop of bright red blood fell onto her hand. Ikkyoku was puzzled and looked above her. She saw a figure flying in the direction she was. Ikkyoku ran after the flying ‘thing’ until she saw it land. She gasped. It was very beautiful, more beautiful than an angel. “A fairy!” Ikkyoku exclaimed, amazed.
But she was much taller than other fairy's. This fairy was about 5’6”, with white sandals that crisscross laced up her ankles 3 times. Ikkyoku dropped her items behind a bush and quickly hid inside a bush taller than herself. Ikkyoku threw her hand in the air, holding the henshin stick up, and yelled “Distant Star Space Power, Make-Up!!” Suddenly she appeared with a white outlining and her body appeared black with stars. A small group of red butterflies twirled around her feet, forming her shoes.
The view moved to her left shoulder, which showed butterflies surrounding her arms and forming gloves. The view moved back to the front, showing her whole body. The small butterflies formed a big red butterfly that exploded and showed the rest of her fuku, uncolored still. Her tiara gem sparkled and a big golden butterfly emerged from the brooch on her chest. It also exploded and the color appeared on her fuku. Ikkyoku opened her eyes, slightly twirled once, and posed.
After standing in the pose for a few seconds she flipped her hair, put her left hand on her hip, right hand pointer finger on her lip and winked. Stars and planets suddenly appeared behind her. Sailor Distant Star moved as close as she could to the two mysterious women. The Egyptian woman touch the large fairy's forehead and a glowing ball emerged towards her. Inside it was a black star. “Damnit, you suck!!” Iris yelled. The fairy frowned and Iris told her it wasn’t her fault.
Just seconds earlier, Rei & Makoto had seen the even and hid to transform. They also called for the other senshi. “Hey you scumbag!” Super Sailor Mars yelled. “Attack her and take her senshi crystal you fool!” Iris yelled to the fairy. “Don’t just sit there Vega!” Suddenly Super Sailor Jupiter ran up behind Iris and grabbed her arms, twisting them. “Vega! Attack her!” Iris screamed in rage. “You’re not getting away this time!” Jupiter yelled, putting a tougher grip on Iris.
Before Vega could attack, Sailor Distant Star ran up behind her and tackled her. Sailor Distant Star quickly sat on the fairy's back and put her arm around the fairy’s neck and held her arms around her back. “Vega! You stupid fairy! You’re worthless! I should fight myself!” Iris yelled enraged. Ever so quickly Iris entangled herself from Jupiter’s grip and kicked her hard in the leg. She then punched Jupiter as much as she could, hardly landing any punches.
Seeing this, Super Sailor Mars used her ‘Flame Sniper’ and released it at Iris’ back. Jupiter was only guarding herself, so Iris quickly turned around and grabbed the Flame Arrow. The three senshi gasped. Quickly Super Sailor Jupiter punched Iris in the jaw, hard. This sent Iris walking back a few feet before falling. Out of nowhere, Vega bit Sailor Distant Star’s arm. She screamed and let go of the fairy. The fairy jumped up, making Sailor Distant Star fall off her back.
Surprisingly, nobody had noticed that there was a battle going on. Super Sailor Jupiter quickly shot electrified leaves at Vega, but it didn’t have much effect. “Uranus World Shaking!” was suddenly shouted. The attack hit Vega and sent her flying into a tree. “I am the soldier with the powers of earth, Super Sailor Uranus! Prepare to be crushed!” the senshi yelled and struck a pose. “Super Sailor Neptune gracefully entering the scene! With my power of water, I’ll drown you instantly!” the teal haired senshi yelled and posed.
“What the!?” Iris screeched. “I’m outta here!” she said and tried to disappear. “Deep Submerge!” Super Sailor Neptune yelled and threw her attack at Iris, hitting her straight on. “You’re not going anywhere! In the name of the moon, I shall punish you!!” a voice yelled. Suddenly Eternal Sailor Moon, Super Sailor Mercury, and Super Sailor Venus appeared. Sailor Distant Star ran up to Iris and pinned her to the ground. “Who do you work for?!” she screamed at the girl.
“I’ll never tell you! Desert Storm!” Iris yelled and suddenly a blast of sand over took Sailor Distant Star. When the sand cleared Iris was gone. “Damnit!” Sailor Distant Star said under her breath. Vega turned to look at her. “Pure Senshi Crystal!!” she yelled and jumped on Sailor Distant Star. Suddenly Frederick came over to the battle. “What’s going on here?! Who are all of you?!” he asked confused. They all looked at him “Frederick!” Super Sailor Venus shouted. He was confused on how she knew his name.
“Pure Senshi Crystal!” Vega yelled again and got ready to tear it out of Sailor Distant Star. Quickly Super Sailor Uranus tackled the fairy off of Sailor Distant Star. Frederick stared at Sailor Distant Star as if he knew her from somewhere. Mercury suddenly used her ‘Aqua Mirage’ out of nowhere. Vega screamed and Uranus kneed her in the gut to shut her up. Eternal Sailor Moon knew it was her time now. “Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!” she yelled and instantly healed Vega. “That’s a first” she said and smiled.
“She must have been weak enough or something...” Super Sailor Venus said and shrugged. Each of the senshi then ran off, Sailor Distant Star being the last to leave. “Wait...” a man’s voice said. She turned around to see Frederick. “Are you from here?” he asked, and Sailor Distant Star answered that nobody is ever from the same place. “Are you my girlfriend?” he asked. A sweat drop appeared on the back of her head. She shook her head.
“Are you Princess Ikkyoku? You look so much like her, with your eyes, face, hair...” he said, saddened. Her face turned a little red. She tried to act as if she didn’t know him. “I’m sorry, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” she said and hugged him. “But, I think this is for you from her.” she said and handed him the box. “Good Luck!” Sailor Distant Star said and winked. She went and woke Toki up and helped her out of the park. “You hit your head.” she said and smiled at Toki.
Sailor Distant Star went back to where she last saw Vega, and picked up the card. She tore it up and de-transformed. She wandered to the West Side, but found no sight of any guys looking for her. After waiting for a little over an hour she decided to leave. For a split second she though she heard her name called and looked around. Ikkyoku turned back around and walked through the whole park. She saw an ice cream parlor and decided to get some.
While walking home, some of her ice cream fell off the cone and she growled at herself for letting it melt too much. Ikkyoku went to bed later around 10 pm and didn’t set her alarm clock...
