HI MINNA!!!!! This is a longer chapter. It might have been longer but I have company and I wanted this out this week because the first few chapters were short. I hope you like it. There is some thought in this chapter so I used *s to show when someone is thinking. I know that they introduce their names backwards in Japan, but I don't care I'm writing it like we do here in the U.S. I hope to start writing from Terra Rose's view soon. But there has to be some mystery in the new girl. Angel for Earth Chapter 3 Apartment Rated G By: Earth Angel Email: Earth_Angel_001@sailormoon.com ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ One Week Earlier... "Knock, knock, Mamo-chan. I'm here." Usagi walked into Mamoru apartment. "Hi Usako." Mamoru was sitting at a desk in the living room typing. "Whatcha doing?" She walks over to him and gives him a little kiss. "I'm typing up an add for the paper. I need to get a room mate. The owner upped the rent again and that extra room's just going to waste." "I don't want you to get a room mate! We wont get anymore time alone, and what if they find out your Tuxedo Mask." "I already checked around for other apartments. Do you know how hard it is to find a good apartment in Tokyo this time of year? As for the whole Tuxedo Mask thing, I'll just have to be careful. I have windows I can always jump out of." He took off his glasses and threw them on the table, "Writing this add is harder than I thought." Usagi walked behind him and started to rub his shoulders. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Present Day "Move over Ivy. Your hogging the bed. Why don't you turn into something small that doesn't take any space?" Terra rolled over on the bed, making more room for the dog. The dog started turning into a glowing ball and started shrinking; the glow soon faded and there sat a small silver cat with the earth symbol on it head. "There, is that better, Terri?" "Perfect." Terra spread the newspaper out on the bed, "We have to find an apartment. I can't believe how many rat and roach infested places there are around here. And everything is so expensive." "Why don't you just ask them to leave?" "Because the place was such a dump to begin with. Besides I don't want to have to ask them to leave just because I want to live there. I don't want to make them lose their homes. Hey, here's one, but their looking for a room mate. Ivy, how do you feel about moving in with someone? It'll mean you can't talk as much." "I don't care. The sooner we get out of this hotel the better." ~*~*~*~ Terra walks up to the door and knocks. A guy about seventeen with midnight black hair and dark blue eyes answers. "Hi my names Terra Rose Childs, and I'm here about the add in the paper." "Come on in. My name is Mamoru Chiba." "I just got this feeling. Have we met before?" "That's funny I just got the same feeling. I don't think we've met." They sat on the couch. "Why don't you tell me a little about yourself." "Well, I moved here from the U.S. I'm originally from Tokyo though. I moved there when I was four." "How old are you?" "I'm 15, almost 16, and I'm in tenth grade, I'm going to Crossroads High." "What about your family?" "My adopted parents are back in the U.S. I'm here on an exchange program. The family I was suppose to be staying with had to back out last minute so I've been living in a hotel." "What about activities?" "I havn't had time to join anything yet but it all depends on the season. I want to be part of the vollyball team, swim team, and softball team. For clubs I'm hoping to join the art club, cooking club, nature club and if there is a community service club. I also take part in the school plays. Outside of school activities I like to hike, bike, skate. I have a part time job up at the stables where I give ridding lessons and help take care of the animals." *Man, she's one busy girl. That will be good for Tuxedo Mask. And she seems so familar, like I've know her all my life.* Mamoru set his cup of coffee down. Mamoru asked Terra a few more question and then went on and told her about him. They talked for hours. It seemed like they were best friends and had know each other forever. After a while Mamoru showed Terra around the apartment. "You can have the room if you want it, thats if you can put up with me." "Sure I would love to have the room. Oh, by the way, can I have a cat? She's house broken and doesn't make a mess." "Sure my girlfriend is over here all the time and she always brings her cat." What Mamoru actually meant was that the cat tagged along to watch them but he wasn't about to say that out loud. "When can I move in?" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Two days later Terra moved most of her stuff into the aparment and spent the whole day working on her room. It drove Mamoru nuts trying to figure out what was going on in there because she kept the door shut. (AN: I describing the room because I'm bored.) The walls were sponged a silvery purple. A water bed sat up against the wall in a corner with a hope chest at the end and a night stand with a lamp sat next to the head of the bed. In front of one window was a desk with a computer, and in one corner sat a stero system with a cd rack full of different kinds of cds. An easel sat in front of another window with some canvas. Plants were all over the room, some even climbing up the walls and cellings and pots of white roses were near the bed. A white dresser sat near the walk-in closet. Pictures of far away places were on the walls and ceramic mystical creatures sat on things in the room. "So what do you think, Mamoru-chan? It's almost all done." "Looks like it took a lot of work, Terri-chan." There was a knock at the door. Mamoru opened it and there stood a delivery guy. "I have a delivery for Terra Rose Childs." "Thats me." "Sign here please." the delivery guy holds out a board and Terra signs. "Its downstairs we'll just have to unload it." Terra runs downstairs to the delivery truck with Mamoru and the man in tow. "It's here! It's finally here!" she turns to the delivery guy with a deadly face and red eyes, "If its scratched, chipped, or broken I will make sure you pay. I'll make you wish were never born." The delivery man looks pale, "Yes miss." The other delivery men start to wheel out a object that is covered with a tarp. "It's here, it's here." "Terri-chan calm down. What can be so important?" Mamoru looks down into Terra's eyes and got a shock. Bright yellow eyes almost impossible to look at, "Hey Terri-chan your eyes are yellow. I could have sworn they were dark blue." "Oh they are. My eyes change color usually when I get big waves of emotions. When there yellow I'm hyper, dark blue is calm, black is depression, red is anger, purple is love, dark green is when I'm jealous, and emerald green is when I have a urge to garden, ice blue is when I'm in kind of a cold mood, brown comes when I'm in between emotions and orange is kind of a hyper, but mean mood. Usually my eyes are dark blue because its a family color but my eyes only change with emotions that are very strong. My mother's eyes changed too." Terra turned to the object and tore off the tarp to reveal a black Harley Davidson motorcycle. Mamoru mouth dropped open at the beauty of it. She hugged it then started to inspect it for scratches. "All in one peace." "You can drive." "Yeah. I was allowed to get my licence early, because I was leaving for Japan and I only have a few more months until I'm sixteen. "When is your birthday?" "April 30th. I'm a Tarus, one of the signs most connected to the Earth." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ A couple hours later... KNOCK KNOCK Terra answers the door. "TERRA ROSE WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" screamed Usagi "I live here Usagi-chan. So you must be the Usako that Mo-chan's been talking about." Terra moved out of the way for the steaming bunny, "He's in watching tv." Usagi walked past Terra and into the living room where Mamoru was on the couch with a small silver kitten. "I'll let you too talk, I'm going out for milk I'll be back in half an hour." Terra grabbed her car keys and walked out he door." "You didn't tell me that your room mate was a girl!" "Usako, calm down, Terra is only a friend. She's like a little sister. Usagi you should trust me." "You're right. I should trust you two. I just can't help rushing to conclusions sometimes. Terra and I have been really close these last two weeks and she seems like a sister to me too. "Your getting so mature, my Usako. I love you." "I love you too, Mamo-chan." Usagi leaned up and kissed him. The cat that looked kind of annoyed left room and went back into Terra's room. "When did you get a cat?" "I didn't. She's Terra's and her name is Ivy." They started kissing again. The kisses started going deeper when the communicator started going off. "Not again." groaned Mamoru. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "I am Sailor Moon," "And we're the Sailor Senshi," chimed in the rest of the senshi. "And on behalf of the Moon we shall punish you." "Mars Fire Balls charge." Mars lanched her fire ball at a water youma. "It's time for you to become vapor." The youma easily dodged the attack Mercury was typing away on her mini computer trying to find the youma's weakness. Jupiter was throwing thunder and Tuxedo Mask was throwing roses at the youma but neither could seem to hit the youma. Venus threw her love chain and smacked the youma in the face. The youma started to shoot out random blast of high water pressure and hit both Chibi Moon and Sailor Moon. The youma was just about to shoot hot water at the two when a small white rose landed in the mouth of the youma plugging up its hole. The senshi gasped and looked up at where the rose had come from. In a tree stood Sailor Earth. "I'm the Earth's guardian. I was chosen by Mother Earth to protect the small and the life on this planet. You can't come in here and try to take over. I'm Sailor Earth. And you're going to pay for attacking my planet." The youma tore the rose out of it's mouth, "You think you can destroy the Black Rose little one? You can't, we are stronger than what we once were. You might have gotten rid of us once but now were back and stronger than ever. "The Black Rose is going down." Sailor Earth started her new attack. "LIFE SEED," a small shape of energy appeared in her hand, a gust of wind blew at her back. It blew her hair forward but left the mask on. The wind also picked up the seed and then died down right when it got to the youma. The seed fell on the ground. The youma looked at it and started laughing, "Is that all you got little girl?" "DRAIN." Sailor Earth whispered the last word. Vines exploded out of the seed and wrapped themselves around the youma. The green vines started to glow and they began to suck the energy out of the youma. The youma began to scream and shrink and shrivle until it was nothing but a small dried up corpse. "Retun." The vines began to pull back into the seed. The seed was now the size of a baseball. It floated up off the ground and then landed in the palm of Sailor Earth. A strong wind blew threw the park again and hit the corpse turning it to dust. Sailor Moon was the first to speak. "Who are you? What is your mission." "I am Sailor Earth and my mission is to find the Princess, and protect her and find the Sailor Elements at the same time I must protect the Earth. "What princess are you looking for? The Moon Princess? Because if you are we already found her." "I'm not looking for the Moon Princess." "What did the youma mean by Black Rose and you tried to get rid of it once?" "It doesn't matter. You best stay out of this or you will get hurt." "We protect the Earth too. Why don't you join us? Maybe we could help you." "I won't join you. Nobody asked you to protect this planet, but since you did you have my thanks. You couldn't help me. "Sailor Earth, come along now." a large black lab with earth symbol on its head appeared. "This is my guardain, Ivy, and you better stay out of our way. I don't want to have to hurt you just for being in the way, but I will." A white mist surrounded the senshi again and when it had lifted the girl and dog were gone. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Terra Rose walked into the arcade,"Hi Motoki. How are you today?" "Oh hi Terra. I'm fine. I wanted to talk to you more the other day but I figured with all the girls there I couldn't get close." She felt fluttery. Like she could soar a million feet off the ground. *Rosie girl stop it. Remember what happened with the last guy." She felt tears sting her eyes but held back. "Its really werid, Terra, but have we met before? I feel as if I've meet you before. Only I can't place it." "Well I use to live in Japan but I moved away when I was four." Suddenly it hit him were he had meet Terra before. "Angel?" "OH MY WORD! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" She screamed and threw her arms around him. @->------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hahahahahahahahah! Cliff Hanger.
