Title: The Forgotten Guardian ~ chapter 8 By: Moondreams16 Rating: G Notes: Enjoy. The school bell rang and a myriad of students rushed to the classes "Hey Alexis wait up!" called out Travis. "Go away Travis, I don't want to talk to you," said Alexis as she stuffed her skates into the locker. "Please Alex I am so sorry," said Travis. Alexis stared at him. "Get lost Travis," said Alexis as she started to walk away. He grabbed her by the shoulder and spun her around. "I am so sorry. I forgot what time it was," stammered Travis. "Yeah right, Travis. Think up a better excuse," said Alexis. "Actually he was showing me around Tokyo," came a soft voice of Aurora. "I can't believe you," spat Alexis and walked off. "Alex, wait!" called Travis and ran after her. Aurora watched them with a smug smile. Serena walked slowly home. This was one of the rare days she hadn't gotten detention. She was defiantly having a good day. "Serena," came a voice behind her. Serena stopped walking and turned around to stare into a pair of ocean blue eyes. He got down on one knee and took her hand. "Serena, I was a jerk. I am so sorry. I would do any thing for you, princess. Even face your dangerous father. I love you and I never want to lose you," said Darien and pulled out a red rose. "Oh Darien, I love you," said Serena and hugged him. Darien kissed her tenderly. "So you don't have a crush on Alexis?" asked Serena. Darien grinned. "No, she's a good friend. You should get to know her," said Darien. "I love you Endymion," said Serena as she kissed him again. "Hey Alexis," called out Lita as she rushed up to Alexis. "Why aren't you skating?" asked Lita with shock. "I really didn't feel like skating today. So what's up?" asked Alexis. "Well I was wondering if you would like to come to my house for dinner this afternoon?" asked Lita. "Sure that sounds great. I heard Ken say you were a very great cook. So do you want me to bring something?" asked Alexis. "No, just yourself unless you want to bring over a movie or something," said Lita. "Great, Your lucky you can cook," said Alexis. "Why? You can't?" asked Lita with shock. "No," admitted Alexis with embarrassment. "Don't worry, Mina can't either. Hey why don't I teach you? Yeah come over at 4:30 and I'll teach you," exclaimed Lita with excitement. "Only if you have a fire extinguisher in your house," said Alexis with a smile. Lita threw back her head and laughed. "I'll make sure I have one just for you, Alex," she exclaimed. "...so what am I supposed to do? Then that white haired bimbo walks up and says 'Actually he was showing me around Tokyo'. Can you believe that? He is such a jerk! How could I have ever fallen for him?" sighed Alexis as she mixed the batter in the bowl. "What is with guys anyway? Do they hover around short skirted brainless twits?" she continued angrily. "If you figure that out, you could be rich. I've known Travis for about 5 months and that doesn't sound like him at all," said Lita as she cut up some vegetables. "I can't believe I was so dumb. I was actually starting to fall in love with him! I can't believe this," said Alexis. "Well there are a lot more fish in the ocean. Throw him back and keep fishing," said Lita with a grin. "I can't," said Alexis quietly. "Anyone ever told you what a loser you are, Scilite?" yelled Sailor Mars as the scouts walked through the time door. A yellow rose had landed and sent orange sparks flying. A golden door set with orange precious stones and carved with hearts had risen from the ground. "Now this is my door," said Venus. The scouts walked into a room of gold. Draperies of orange framed the windows. "Mother, I've chosen already! So send the others away!" commanded a teenage Princess Mina. Queen Aphrodite set her lips in frustration. "It is your decision, if you want to marry this Andrew then so be it," said Mina's father. "Great!" said Mina as she threw her arms around Andrew. The scene shifted suddenly. The scouts found themselves in a room full of people dressed in their best. "Good luck to you Mina and Andrew," said Endymion with Aurora at his side. "Thanks," said Mina. Aurora was now about 14 or 15. Her long black hair now reached the ground. She was short and tiny like her mother. She looked very delicate. The couple walked away slowly. "I think they will be very happy together," said Aurora. "Yes I believe you are right," said Endymion. Then a tall man tapped Aurora. "What is it, Australis?" asked Aurora. "May I have of word with you Princess?" asked Australis. "Excuse me, Endy," said Aurora and followed the tall young man. "What is it Australis?" commanded Aurora. "There have been more conflicts on the border. The queen thought it best if you stayed away as long as possible. Now don't look at me like that Aurora, get that look off your face. There is no way I am going to permit you to go," said Australis as he ran his fingers through his silver hair. "Alright, I won't go," said Aurora with a sigh. "Would you care for a dance, my lady?" asked Australis with a graceful bow. "I would love to, cousin," said Aurora. "Must I remind you that we are second cousins?" he asked. Aurora smiled. "No," she answered. "Hey Venus, take a peek," called out Sailor Jupiter. The others looked just as Mina and Andrew embraced in a kiss. The silver falcon let out a screech and dropped a golden heart locket in Sailor Sol's hands. He added it to the rest. "Alright so this 5th key," said Sailor Mercury. "Cool, I hope we don't have many more doors to go," said Sailor Moon.
