WARNING READ THIS. I'm writting from Terra's perspective. Flash Backs are in third person. There are a lot of flash backs. This chapter I decided to do Terra's past in. If anyone here has not figured out already that Terra was the girl in the prolouge and that she is Sailor Earth, now you know. There is a reason that Terra Rose calls herself Rosie in her mind. You'll find out now. All the new characters will have American names. I just don't have the greatest sources when it comes to Japanese names. And on the note of names Terra's first name isn't Terra Rose She does have a Japanese name. I'm just working on it. I'm not making much sense. It'll all work itself out in due time. Please e-mail me. Thanks to the five people email me. I have tried to reply to you that have written me. If you never got my letter or got one too many letters I'm sorry. I'm having a hard time with sending emails through my Sailor Moon address. Email me. PLEASE!! My mailbox is hungry. 1/1/01 Angel for Earth Chapter 4 Past Beginnings Rated G By: Earth Angel Email: Earth_Angel_001@sailormoon.com @->------------ I threw my arms around Motoki and gave him a big hug, "I can't believe it's really you!" Motoki was swinging me around when the girls and Mamoru walked in. "Oh you have no idea how glad he'll be when he sees you." I looked over to see that the girls and Mo-chan was looking at us funny. Motoki put me down when he noticed that the others were there. "This must look funny." I explained, "You see Motoki and I knew each other when I use to live in Tokyo. You see a friend introduced us we were kinda a trio. "The three of us became best friends. Alex, thats our friend, always called her Angel. Thats how I knew it was her." "Do you still see Alex?" "Yeah, man is he gonna be happy to see you again. But he was angry that you never wrote to us." Motoki couldn't seem to wipe the grin from his face. "Please, Motoki-chan, you can't tell him I'm back yet. I want to surprise him. And what do you mean never wrote. I wrote almost everyday for a year." "Sorry to tell you, Terri-chan, but we never got your letters. We were angry at you for awhile. But I'm just so glad to see you again. Alex on the other hand stayed mad for a long time." "So why don't you tell me what I've missed." "I got a girlfriend...." @->----------Later that day----------- I walk into my bedroom and throw myself across the bed. Ivy comes up and lays next to be. She is still in her cat form. So much has happened since I last saw Alex. I have changed in so many ways yet I still remained the same in someways. I remember the day we met...... *****FLASHBACK***** Three boys surrounded a younger boy, age eight, with blond hair and blue eyes, their fists raised, "You're gonna pay for that." The boys came at the boy and started punching him. The boy only tried to shield himself, knowing he was out numbered. A shawdow came behind the behind the boys, "Leave him alone." The boys turn around to see a small girl about six with black curly hair and blue eyes. "And what are you gonna do about it midget?" the biggest boy teased her. "I'm gonna kick you butt that what." The boy threw a punch at her. She dodged it and then lodged her elbow in his stomach and hit him in the eye. He got a punch to her jaw and gave her a bloody lip. She then puched him in the stomach and then kicked his feet out from under him. He got up and ran away crying with his two friends behind him. She wiped her lip with the back of her sleve and walked over to the blond boy and held out a hand, "Are you okay?" The boy winced as she took helped him up, "Nothing that won't be healed in awhile. They could have killed you. Where did you learn to fight like that?" "My dad taught me and my brother. My name's Terra Rose. Whats your's? "My name is Akemi, but everyone calls me Alex." "Why do they call you Alex?" "My fathers name is Akemi too." "Terra Rose isn't my first name either. My momma was American and my dad was Japanese so they gave both me and my brother a Japanese first name and a American middle name. But my brother also wanted to give me a name. My brother loved roses." Terra looks sad at this. "So what is you first name?" *****END OF FLASHBACK***** He called me Angel since that day. He thought it was fitting. I wonder if he can still love me. I know he loves me for who I once was but much has changed since then. The move changed me. Losing him changed me. One thing that also change me a lot was when Ivy came into my life... *****NEW FLASHBACK***** Terra, now ten, is in town at the local ice cream parlor. Suddenly a spider youma blasts through the doors. "She's here. I know she is. GIVE ME THE GUARDIAN!" the youma shouts. The people try to flee, but the youma shoots out a blast of webbing making the people stick to the walls. Terra crawls behind a counter and hides. A small ladybug crawls onto Terra. "Terra Rose listen to me." "Little bug, you better get out of here the monster might try to hurt you too." "Don't worry about me. I am not what I appear to be." The small bug flys off Terra's leg and lands infront of her. It starts to glow and changes shape. When the glow fades a large silver dog stands infront of Terra. " I was sent here to guide you small one. My name is Ivy. You must fight this monster and protect this planet. You have the power. Just say the words that come to you." Terra closed her eyes and listened to the world around her. "EARTH POWER... MAKE-UP!!" A silvery purple light covered her. The locket Terra wore around her neck appeared in her hands. A white rose came out of it. She held the rose in her hand and the petals started to come off the rose and started to swirl around her, like on a breeze that wasn't there. Terra started to twirl and spin like a ballerina and the petals covered her body. First the petals covered her until they made the body and skirt. Then they went to her arms and legs making gloves and boots. A tiara and earings appeared. The petals then flew to her face and made a glittery mask of white. She then stopped spinning and stood in a pose. In the pose she was in front of the Earth and one hand was up by the corner of her mask holding the white rose and the other hand was at her side. (AN: The rose's petals came back, reappeared, whatever) She jumped up onto the counter. "Stop right there youma. You think you can go around hurting people. I think not. I am Earth's guardian. I protect her and all the life that is on this planet. I am Sailor Earth." *****END OF FLASHBACK***** I then destroyed the youma all on my own. That was just the start. I faced many youma. Ivy taught me many things on the ranch I grew up on. I didn't find it funny that the animal could talk. I had always been able to talk to anything living and I could heal things with my touch. But then again, Ivy wasn't a regular animal. She taught me how to use my powers. She trained me on the ranch. But she didn't teach me all fighting and magic. She taught me the history of my mission. She gave me books, but the books wern't much help. Some couldn't be opened. Some had pages that only showed the ink when the time was right. I started to remember things from a past life. Not very many things. In that life I was Sailor Earth also. But all those memories are scattered and broken. Things are missing in these memories. I remember in that past life I fought the Black Rose. And with the locket I could become the leader of the Earth Senshi, Sailor Earth. But first I have to find the Earth Senshi. I remeber when I first got that locket. It was a gift from my brother. The brother that was like a best friend, the brother that I lost. *****FLASHBACK***** Terra, age four, sits in a rose garden. *It's my birthday and he forgot. He never forgets my birthday.* "Rosie, Rosie, where are you." a voice calls. "I'm here." she calls to the little boys voice. He comes running down the pathway. She can't make out his face. It is a shawdow. But he has her black hair. "I wanted to give this to you. It's your birthday gift." he hands her a small package wrapped in purple paper. She tears into the paper. she pulls out a wooden box. Dozens of roses are caved out of the box all tangled into each other. She opens it, a soft melody starts to play. A melody from long ago. The inside is crushed velvet and resting on the velvet is a siver antique locket. She opens it up. But she can't make out the pictures inside. "Oh thank-you. You're the bestest big brother in the whole world." She throws her arms around the boy. "Only the best for my little sister." he plucks a white rose off the bush, after making sure there are no thorns he puts it in her hair. *****END OF FLASHBACK***** If only I could make out his face. With all my memories it seems that certain things are missing. Faces blured or shawdowed, voices faded and soft. If only I could get this locket to open then maybe it would be easier to find him. I start to fiddle with the locket again, trying to open it. Tomorrow I go to the hospital to see what I can dig up. But still I don't think that they will be much help. But the hosptial is the best place to start. I roll off my bed and pull out my paints and a fresh canvas. I'll paint something. Something from a past. Something from my dreams. Maybe these Sailor Senshi from the other planets could help me. Find out who I am. Where I belong. Maybe even help me find the Earth Senshi and the Princess. But then again I don't know if I can trust them. @->------------------------------------ Thats it. For this chapter.
