Title: Holiday Spirit? Name: AmazinGirl E-mail: AmazLnGirl@aol.com Rating: PG Hey People! I've decided to write a series of stories. I hope that you likeJ By the way these charecters aren't mine I'm just borrowing them for a little while. By the way this is all happening in my little virtual relality, it's no following the Sailor Moon Outline. *********************************************************** Chirstmas Eve was finally here, and Ray sat all alone in her small room at the temple. Her grandfather had gone to A party, and was planning to stay for the rest of the weekend. That left Ray with Chad. Slowly Ray opened her window, and watched the snowflakes fall and land on the soft earth bellow. A gentle knock came at her door. "Yes?" she asked. "Uhh, Ray it's Chad, I have some hot cocoa would you like some?" Slowly Ray got up, and looked wistfully at a picture of her father. He was never there when she truly needed him. "That sounds great Chad," Ray said opening the door. "Oh my gosh Chad what did you do?" Ray asked. The whole room was decorated with garlands, red bows, reaths, tinsil, stockings on the hearth, and a grand Christmas Tree. "Chad did you do all this for me?" "Umm, Well, Uh, yeah I guess so?" Chad admitted. "Oh thank you thank you thank you," Ray said giving him a hug. "I don't think that anyone has ever done something like this for me." Suddenly Ray remembered who she was, and regained her composer, though a tear of joy traveled down her check. Without a moments hesitation Chad wiped it away. "Here's your hot chocolate," he said handing her a steaming cup with whipped cream and nutmeg on the top. Then he gave Ray a peak on the cheak. Ray was about to slap him when he pointed his finger upwards and mouthed the words mistle toe. "Humph," Ray said,"Tradiations, tradition I guess." She grabbed the drink and sat in frount of the fire, gazing into the blazing flames. Chad sat down next to her, after turing on the lights of the Christmas Tree. "Umm Ray," Chad said, looking at her cautiously. "This is for you." With that he shoved a box into her hands and turned away quickly. "I hope you like it," he added. Ray didn't know what to say, Chad had done all of this decorating, and now he had gotten her a gift! What she to do? "I got you something too," Ray half giggled half mummbled at Chad's obvious embarassment. She quickly ran into her room, and retrieved the wrapped box. "On the count of three, we'll open them alright?" Ray asked. The Christmas spirit had totally filled her now, and she was full or merryment. "One, two?" she started. "THREE!!!!" Two pairs of hands quickly ripped through paper and stuffing, to find the treasures hidin within. Chad couldn't believe his eyes Ray had givin him a song, that she had written, on the top was a small note. "To One Of my Best Friends, Ray." He quickly leafed through the song, and the music started playing inside his head. "Wow Ray, I knew that you could sing, but write, WOW! This is truly amazing, you'd get a record deal in a matter of seconds with this song! DUDE!" At the same time Ray was looking in awe at her gift as well. It was a record of Chad's best song. It was a slow sonet, that Ray had heard him practice over and over again, late at night when she really wanted to go to sleep. Quick as a flash she went over to the sound system, and gently placed the CD in it. Chad's strong tenor voice boomed through the drafty hallways of the ancient temple. The song was slow and sweet, and his usually valley voice was totally gone, as words of love and peace floated through the air. "Oh Chad, it's wonderful," was all that Ray could say before emotion swept through her. "Hey Ray!" Chad said as an idea hit him. "I want to try something." He grabbed his guitar from his room, and told Ray to sit at the panio. They both started to play their songs, and they perfectly harmonized. Separate they were good, but together even Mozart would have been proud to call his own. They ended the song in a perfect chord, and Chad was smiling down at Ray. He started to lean closer when Ray's communicator started to beep. "Chad, I'm so sorry, but I really must go," Ray appologized. "This is really urgant, I'll be back in a little bit." She smiled sweetly before dashing out the door. "But," was all Chad could get out before Ray was gone. "I'm not letting her out my sight!" Chad thought as he silently followed her. Ray had been dissappering like this for years, and it was time that he found out why. He stepped out the frount door, and gazed at Ray who was cautiously looking around her. "Mars star POWER!" Ray cried as she lifted up her transformation stick. Chad could only stare at her, she was Sailor Mars! It couldn't be, but it all made sense. He flet somehting move within him. He was transforming too. He could feel the energy surge through him, as a heavy suit of armor (like Endymoins) surrounded his body, the symbol of mars was brandished onto the chest plate. The uniform undernieth was red, with gold trim. A long sword with a intwining red and gold hilt lay in the shith by his side. A red mask covered his eyes, he was ready. He no longer had to follow Ray, for he knew where to go. Sailor Mars reached the dark energy haven, but none of the other Sailors were there. "What's going on?" Ray called, as she saw a slimy green blob approch from the corner of her eye. "MARS CELESTIAL FIRE" She began. "IGNITE!" The monster took the blow, but it kept comeing towards her. She gave the attack again, and again, but the monster wouldn't stop advancing. "MARS FIRE SHINE!" Came a voice out of the shadows. Ray turned arounded to see the most gorgouse guy, swinging a sword. Once he had called upon his powers a massive amount of light errupted out, followed by serveral fire balls. In a matter of seconds the beast was distroyed. "Who, who are you?" Ray stuttered. Her usual calm, stroung voice had failed her. "Don't you regogize me?" Chad asked. He slowly lifted off the mask that hid him from her veiw. "Ray, it's me Chad!" Ray was in a total state of panic. How could Chad be this incredibly cute, hansome, dashing hero? She could hold it back any longer, for tears were now flowing down her face. "You saved me!" She gave Chad a huge hug which was kinda hard since he was still in that armor. "Oh my gosh, you're another scout! Luna's going to flip! I wonder if there are anyother guy scouts oh, this has so many possi?" Chad stopped Ray's chattering with one sweet kiss. He reluctlingly pulled away, just to have Ray pull him back and deepen the kiss. Back at the temple Ray and Chad were cuddled onto the couch sipping some fresh hot cocoa. "I can't remember when I felt so safe," Ray thought as she sunngled even closer to Chad. She looked into his eyes, only to see him staring back at her. They had decided to tell Luna about his powers in the morning, it was too late to bother her now. They both were content to stare into the others eyes for the moment. Finally Chad broke the spell. "Merry Christmas," he whispered as the clock stroke 12. "Merry Christmas," Ray returned. Lifting up her head to give him a sweet kiss before going to sleep. ********************************************************* Hey guys I hope that you liked it. PLEASE WRITE TO ME!!!!
