Kizu: The 'item' is... oh man... Cher: What? What is it? Kizu: Apparently, we didn't go back far enough. We have to get some crappy gem from some moon chick then jump to the future to get a key then jump back to the past to find a book, then to the pre-present to kill some dorks, and travel steadily through the time stream, then to the future Naoko's place, get some stuff there, then back to about, three days before we went in time. Daka: No way. L*: Would Moon Wind here lie? Cher shook her head. L*: Well, let's head further back into *dramatic music* THE PAST Maverick then pressed the red button until they were zapped into Dimension C ~~ L*: Cherry, GET YOUR PURPLE ODANGO'S OFF MY SKIRT COVERED AREA! Cher: As soon as Chives over there gets her boot out of my eye. Chavu: Will someone PLEASE GET THIS DRUMMING IDIOT OFF MY BACK? Kizu: Um, I'm not on your back. I'm over here. Cher looked out of her left eye to see Kizu holding a thumb-sucking Kousagi. L* screamed. She then flung everyone off her, and looked down on the silver time card. Cher: Very smooth. L*: Bite me. L* blinked when she felt a small nibbling on her skirt. She looked behind her and down at the recovered bird that had attached itself to the back of her skirt. L*: Cher, get this bird away from me before *I* hit it into space. Cher leapt over to L* and pried the bird off of L*'s skirt. She hugged the bird. Kizu: Any idea how long it's supposed to take before we get there? L*: Just a minute... Maverick started fiddling with a nearby machine. Kizu: One Minute? Cool... Maverick shook her head. L*: About 3 hours. I mean, we're going WAY back. Cher: How far back is "WAY" back? L*: Um, You know I'm the 27th ruler of Maverick, correct? Everyone nodded, and Cher squinted. Cher: You mean to tell me we're going back about 10,000 years? L*: 17,432 years to be exact. Everyone fell on the card, and Maverick pulled out her magic time stereo. L*: Who wants some Chick Tracks? Dakasina, Chavuni, X, and Giaque raised their hands, since no one else knew what would be on the Mystery CD. L*: Okay... She cranked it, and grinned. L*: Go Cherry, you know the words! Cher: All the old paintings on the tombs, they do the sand dance, don'tCHA know... ********************About 2 1/2 hours later...********************* Daka: Cool. Giaque, start rapping. I wanna try something. Giaque started rapping when suddenly she started talking and moving in slow motion. Gia: Hhheeeyyy...wwwhhhaaattt... aaarrreee... yyyooouuu... dddoooiiinnnggg??? Dakasina hit a lever. Daka: I was messing around with this here Time Shifter. Maverick blinked. L*: You mean to tell me we could have BEEN THERE BY NOW? Cher grinned. Cher: Sorry Mav. L*: Why? Cher: I had to get to know everyone! L*: You haven't said a word since Kizu flung a drumstick at you for singing off key! Cher grumbled, and L* fast forwarded through the rest of the journey. ************************************************************ L*: Andin321 Sounding much like a chipmunk, she turned off the Time Shifter, and everyone fell over. Daka: Smooth move Lady L*: Bite me. Kizu: So, Cher... Kizu looks lovingly towards Cher, who was floating upside down for an unexplained reason. Kizu: Cher? What's that like? Cher: No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes. L* blinked. L*: That sounds so familiar... Everyone felt d骠 vu. Kizu: No one knows what it's like To feel jaded To feel faded To telling only lies Daka: But in my dreams... Chavu: They are as empty X: As my conscious seems Gia: To be... Kousagi smiled Kou: So you guys are remembering the song of Blue eyes. L*: The song of blue eyes? Kousagi nodded. Kou: It's the song of Seven Sailor Soldiers, who gave their lives into one song. They say that only one person still has record, or knows where, the lost scripture of this song was located. Let us go to your Great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great -great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great- grandmother. All the girls nodded, and Kizu grabbed his head. Kizu: Whoa... To the moon, where Phoebe is choosing daughters... Cher's eyes turned into throbbing hearts. Cher: He's so cute when he's all poetic like that... Everyone groaned, and Kousagi held up a small trinket. Kou: Abracadabra POOF! Kitty-P Henge! A small pink kitty popped into existence and landed on Kousagi's head. PK: Hello! Cher: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHH! Cher leapt into Kizu's arms in horror. Kou: Oh please. This is my guardian kitty. Cher: Do all you moon kingdom have a cat? Minako had Artemis, she was the artificial princess, the real princess had Luna, princess's daughter had Diana, and you have one too? L*: Well... I have one too... Daka: Really? Where's your kitty? L*: He's locked in my closet for flirting with X X: Hey! That was NOT my fault! Chavu: You have a kitty? I wanna see your kitty! L* sighed, and produced a picture of the blackish red kitty running to escape of Cher's misplaced mines. Cher: Sorry about that! PK: Anyway, here! The pink kitty mewed, and a musical instrument appeared in Kousagi's hand. Kou: A chibi-guitar? Cool... The kitty nodded, and did a back flip, vanishing back into the present. Cher: What was the point of that? L* shrugged while throwing a couple million yen into her pocket. Chavu: Anyway, can we go to the moon now? All seven girls and Kizu nodded. L*: How do we get there? Kizu: Leave it to me. Kizu was then surrounded by a pillar of wind, which blew his golden bangs up into the shape of a crescent moon. His silver hair broke free from its ponytail, making the shape of a flowing tide. Cher gasped the giant hearts in her eyes returning. He smiled at Cher, his gray eyes flashing blue, then gold, then back to gray. A large pillar of light surrounded them, and they were shot to the Moon of Earth. ~~
