Part nine
= = = =
	Alison lays on michiru's couch as
everyone else in the house is in the kitchen
darting about making dinner. Alison can her
Setsuna chopping vegetables and Haruka clumsily
setting the dinner table as Michiru and Ryoko
cook dinner and little Hotaru dash back and
forth between Ryoko and Haruka asking many
questions.  Alison's eyes grew heavy and all
the background noise blurred into one; Alison
then fell asleep.

Alison's dream


	The castle is dark and had a blue ora
to it. It was cold despite the fact that this
castle was mercury. A young girl stood with a
large jack navy blue jacket over a light blue
dress. Her jacket was old and dusty. It was a
military jacket after all so it wasn't supposed
to be high fashion, but neither was Alison.
	"I hope you travel safely." Princess
mercury said as she walked up behind her cousin.
Alison turned around to see her younger cousin
standing behind her smiling and trying to be as
pleasant as she could be.
	"I'll be fine." Alison said in an attempt
to make her cousin leave her in peace.  Mercury
took a step closer to Alison and put her hand on
Alison's shoulder, "I know but for mercury to
Neptune is a long journey." Mercury paused and
then she grew solemn and continued, "especially
with what happened a week ago on planet X."
	"I'll be fine." Alison again reassured her
cousin, "besides it doesn't matter. That's why
you're ...or your parents are sending me out to
Neptune." Mercury looked down at her light blue
shoes and softly said, "I know. I hope this ends
soon." Mercury then left her cousin to wait for
the ship that would take her to Neptune.
	'I knew my aunt was posh bitch but I
never knew she'd finally show it to me so openly'
Alison thought as she watched the small ship pull
up to the space dock. When the ship was safe the
doors opened and a man came out and welcomed Alison.
The ship was small but lavish but only on the inside.
Alison sighed and took a window seat and waited for
the ship to leave the docking area. Alison stared out
the window looking at the millions of stars.
	'I wonder how many of those planets are as
stupid as mine.' Alison thought, 'I hope it's only
my planet that is so lame.' The ship began to pick
up speed and the stars became streaks. The trip was
long and boring.  Alison would have fallen a sleep
had it the flight not been so turbulent.  Five hours
straight boredom with only the occasional interruption
from the flight attendant.
	The ship finally arrived in the docking bay of
Neptune's main port. Alison blotted out of the ships
door as soon as she could.  Alison had the pleasure
of having princess Neptune waiting for her.
	"Neptune-san!" she cried, "I'm SO happy to
see you!" Alison ran to her friend and hugged her
tightly.
	"I'm so happy you could come." Neptune remarked.
A quiet voice mad the noise, "ahem" Alison turned
around to see melody Neptune's younger sister.
	"Hello." Alison said.
	"Greetings." Melody replied and extended her
dainty hand out.  Melody had light aqua hair, which was
tied back in one bun. She was short thin and tan, but a
sickly tan; a yellowy tan.
	"I am so happy you can take my place on the
battle line." Melody remarked, "I was afraid I would
have been only a nuisance to the other senshi."
	"It's ok." Alison said as she struggled to say
something that wouldn't be 'of course you're happy not
to be out in battle! You're getting out of it because
you're a kiss as to my bitch aunt!' Alison thought that
and desperately wanted to say that but she didn't she
said, "have a nice time on mercury." Then watched melody
board the ship. The ship left the docking area and took off.
	Alison sighed and then looked up at Neptune.
	"Finally!" Neptune said, she was finally rid of her
sister and it showed how joyous she was, "oh my god! I'd
never though this day would come but she's gone." Alison
thought Neptune had snapped.
Alison raised one eyebrow and asked, "Neptune-san?"
Neptune realized that she was making a scene. She blushed
and then quietly walked out with Alison.
	"I take it you don't like melody either." Alison
stated. Michiru took a deep breath and said, "no I don't
like her I positively despise her."  Alison smiled and said,
"Well it's good to know. I'm glad you have sense unlike
everyone in my family." Michiru let out a laugh.
	"Well unlike mercurians, except you, we from
Neptune are smart." Alison and Neptune began to laugh
hysterically. At this time Uranus walked up the two
hysterical girls.
"Uh..." was the only thing Uranus could get.  Neptune
saw Uranus and stopped laughing, "Haru-chan." Neptune
said and walked over to her love.  Michiru looked are
and her cheeks grew red.
	"Uh..." Neptune started, "I know it looks odd
but you'd be happy too."
	"Happy about what?" Haruka inquired.
	"Melody left for mercury today." Neptune
answered. Haruka smiled and said, "well it makes
some sense now." Haruka looked over and saw Alison
and blinked, "who is she?" Haruka asked.
	"This is princess Alison. She's Mercury's
cousin. She's a zodiac senshi." Neptune explained.
	"Oh she must be sailor Virgo." Haruka stated.
Alison slowly nodded.
	"So where do we go to from here?" Alison asked.
	"We got to the palace." Haruka informed Alison
before Michiru could even open her mouth.  The three
senshi headed off for michiru's palace to find the other
recruits.
	In a dark room at the edge of the west wing of
the palace all the recruits sat awaiting their instructions.
	Alison scanned the room to see if any of the
other recruits were familiar; most were.  Alison did
not know one face though.  It was a pale face of a tall
eerie girl.  Alison slowly approached the girl.  The girl
quickly noticed that Alison was approaching her. The girl
quickly lifted her head and glared sharply at her. Alison
blinked and then...she saw that it was Ryoko with the same
glare...in fact it was the same face.
	"Ryoko?" Alison wearily asked.
	"What?" Ryoko whined, "it's time for dinner you know.
And you didn't help at all."
	Alison groggily lifted her self off the couch and shook
her head.  Ryoko stopped and looked back and asked, "Are you ok?"
	"Yeah..." Alison sighed, "I'll be fine."  Alison finally
got up from the couch and went into the kitchen to eat dinner
with the rest of the outers.
