Justine's Memoirs By: Chiba Hana chibahana@aol.com [Author's Note's: Well, I hope you have been reading my other chapters because I have no time to give any summaries. Sorry I am in a rush, but I just found out I got an C in History and if my mom and dad find out I am not doing my homework in that class I will be dead. I want to be able to write my stories, but if it gets in the way of school I can't. Sorry but I am way to behind in school and I can't afford a C, so this will be a really quick chapter.] Chapter 5: I Re-meet Lea Okay first you must know that the way Luc was killed was not mine or Nephlyte's fault. You see Nephlyte had his head turned while Malachite shot Luc three times. The only people who saw Luc get shot were Jedite, Zoicyte, Malachite, Lea, Hiro and Darien. Lea was especially pissed. Let me tell you about it. I was walking around, trying to find a fresh victim to get energy from when I got lost. "Hey," I shouted to a young blonde, "do you happen to know where the mall is? I am kind of new to these parts and I don't even know where I am." "Oh sure," she said sadly, "come on. I live close to it. I will help you get to it." I started to walk closer to her when all of a sudden my memory kicked in and told me to run up and hug her. It was Lea. Instead I walked up to her slowly and asked her what was wrong. "My brother was killed a week ago," she said, "four people killed him. No, three people shot him. One was turned so I couldn't see his face. But I am gonna kill the three who killed him." "Oh," was all I could manage. "What do you mean by 'oh'?" she asked in that same tone I remembered from the Silver Millennium. "I mean I am sorry," I said. "Oh," she said. "What is your name?" I asked. "Lea. Lea Adersen," she said. "Your Lea Adersen?" I asked. "You are the writer of all those books and the champion gymnast of the world." "You have heard of me?" she asked, kind of surprised that I knew who she was. "Of course," I said, "I mean, I am one of your biggest fans." "Well, that is good to hear," she said. "My name is Justine. Justine DiMarco," I said with pride. "Nice to meet you Justine," she said. She now had a small smile on her face which made me smile, too. She told me that Luc had died about three hours after he was shot. I was really sad for her. Luc had been my friend in the Silver Millennium, but we weren't close. Lea introduced me to her cousin Serena, who still despised me and I remembered as an acquaintance. Three weeks went by, and I couldn't find any energy. I almost died before Neph finally came to take me back to the Negaverse. I said good-bye to Lea and Hiro, who Lea introduced me to 2 days before. I would miss them, but I would be back soon. Well, at least I had hoped I would. It turns out I didn't come back for another 5 years. I was sad about it, but everything turned out for the best. When Nephlyte came to pick me up, he was in a very different form then I was used to seeing him. He had a yellow tee shirt, a blue jacket, and blue pants. I would have passed right by him if he hadn't grabbed me by the arm. I was in heaven when I was kissed by him. Finally some energy, I thought, and I like the way I am getting it. I wrapped my arms around his neck, so no one would wonder what the heck I was doing. Lea came up to me wondering who this guy was. "Justine?" she asked. "Yea, Lea?" I said. "Who's the guy?" "Oh this is..." I started to say. "Max, Maxfield Stanton," said Nephlyte confusing me out of my wits. "Nice to meet you Mr. Stanton," Lea said, just as surprised as I was. " Hey, Justine," he said, "we better get going. We don't want to miss our plane back to America." "Is he your brother?" asked Lea. "No," said Nephlyte, "I am not her brother. I am her boyfriend." "Justine you never told me about any boyfriend," said Lea. "I was sure I had," I lied, but Lea didn't sense anything. "I think it's best we be going on Justine," said Neph getting a little impatient. "I know," I said. "Well I guess I will see you when I come back to visit, Lea." "I'll miss you Justine," Lea said as she hugged me. I hugged back and we finished our good-byes. I got into Neph's car and we were off like a shot in the direction of the airport. Instead of going to the airport, we vanished just as a police car was going to pull us over for speeding. As we entered the portal to the Negaverse, we transformed into our regular forms and started to make out when we accidentally transported ourselves into my mother's courtroom. She wasn't to happy to see me kissing Neph in public view. Especially her public view. Once I noticed where we were I whispered to Neph to meet me in my chambers in about 2 hours. Nephlyte bowed to the queen and kissed my hand. I sighed as he left. "So, Justine," Beryl said, "I noticed you were quite content kissing Nephlyte just now, so you don't have to talk to me long. I just wanted to know how your observation went on Earth. Did the plan I had take affect? Which ones were killed? I want to know Justine," she said in an impatient voice. "Beryl," I said sadly, "the plan did take affect, but the bad part is only one of the people you wanted dead was actually killed. Prince Luc was killed but the rest weren't." "Damn you Malachite," I heard her say under her breath. "Mother," I said, "may I go now?" "Yes my dear," she said, "I think your young man is waiting for you." "Mom," I said in a small voice. I didn't want to make her mad at what I wanted her to say yes to for so long. "Yes, Justine?" asked the concerned queen of all evil. "Is it okay if I marry Nephlyte? Not now but in a few years." I started getting nervous when she gave me a look that made stand up straight in my place. She nodded at me and smiled evilly. "Justine," she said, "yes. You may marry him as long as you love him and he doesn't betray you or the Negaverse." I excused myself for the courtroom and ran to my room and who should be waiting for me but my and only love. "So?" he asked, "What did she say?" "Yes," I said, "we can. But only one thing. You cannot betray the Negaverse." "Do you think I will?" he asked as he hugged me tightly. "No," I said, hugging back just as tight. We laid down on my bed and cuddled until dinner. My mother could have sworn I was beaming at what she had said earlier. [Author's Endnotes: Okay. I now have one through five done, but I promise more in the future just not right now. Chapters 6 through 8 will have to do with me getting on the Scouts side and becoming the Masked Defender. I will most likely be finishing this up in about maybe 9 to perhaps 11 months. These things, as I have said, take a lot of time and effort. So don't be saying you want the chapters now cause I won't give them to you unless you are Sailor Mac or My Best Friend Lea Adersen (not the character but my real best friend). Have a nice day.]
