Stella sat on the bank of a beautiful river and watched Selene.
"You return, my princess?"
"Yes. I think so. I just.....fell asleep." She Muttered.
"Do not be sad. One cannot help ones tiredness."
"But I'm not."
"....That is because you're asleep."
"What?"
"In sleep, one cannot feel truly awake, nor truly asleep, but a comfortable neutral in the place that helps you escape reality."
"....The who what in the what now?"
"Young princess, you have so much to learn....."
-----
Stella lay, making daisy chains, while listening to Selene's tale.
"After Elysion took it's fall, I decided to escape. It would mean leaving Helios but he told me he could defend him and his sister. So I left and took to the sky.
Before long I got to the moon kingdom with your mother. At the time, however, she was only a child. I told Queen Serenity about Elysion, but nothing could be done. Instead she froze me in ice until the day Your mother awokened me.
I watched Princess Serene through clouded eyes grow up, meet friends, fall in love. But she never noticed I was there. Why? The ice made me look lke a statue. But it was only one day, one faithful day she looked deeper into that statue, say how much detail had been made into that pegasus, and touched it. The ice shattered into millions of pieces and melted fromher touch, and I spread my wings and flew out into space. I knew I had to take my time, it would be many years until you would need me. So, for decade upon decade, I waited again. But then I found she was after me-the one known as Lexa. I knew it was then the time for me to escape. So, when you were on earth last night, I flew into your dream. So here I am."
Stella looked up.
"So how did you know me?"
"Queen Serenity let the princess of Pluto give me brief insights into the future to see all this."
"Oh...So I know you but you don't know me?"
"I am sorry." said the pegasus, turning away.
There was a tense silence in the air.
"But.....that's TERRIFIC!" said Stella, jumping up and hugging her pegasus.
"How?!"
"Well, now we can perfect our friendship from the future and you don't remember all the embarresing things i told you on the moon kingdom! I'm so relieved!"
The pegasus smiled.
"Oh, no, I know all the embaressing secrets."
A sweatdrop apperared on Stella.
"Uh....you won't tell anyone, will you...?"
"No."
She fell over in relief.
----------
And woke up.
"Whoa-!" she exclaimed, sitting up.
"What's wrong?" askd Rein.
"I....I dunno. I was with you guys for one minute, the-"
"Shhh!" Said Mika, "Digimon is on."
So the girls sat and watched the programme quietly, ChibiTri a little confused as to what was going on, as their mothers came in.
"Ok, we're going now." said Sally to Annie.
"Oh, but Ookasan, I've only seen this one twice!"
Sally rolled her eys and pciked Annie up.
"Ok, anyone who's with me please follow."
So everyone eventually ckeared out of Pai's appartment.
When it was all over she flopped down.
"Wow. That was hectic. Not all I need to do is finish my science homework..." said Pai, hunting for her biro that had fallen down the sofa.
"Mama." said Rein.
"Yes?"
"Did you know Stella talked in her sleep?"
"No."
"Well, when you left she fell asleep-which was stupid because pokemon was on-and she started talking about a horse."
"That's nice."
"With wings."
Pai stopped moving.
"With wings?"
"Yep."
Pai turned and looked at Rein.
"Oh."
----------
"LEMME GO!"
"No, you little brat!"
Isis and Ariadne looked on in disbelief as Sally and Annie struggled with each other as they walked along, people looking at them.
Alex walked out the ice-cream shop.
"Hey, what's going down?" he asked Sally.
Sally dumped the whining Annie in his arms.
"Here. You take her for the night. She's yours."
Then rushed off.
Alex blinked.
"OMG! I MUST HAVE GOT DRUNK AND THEN MADE HER PREGNANT BUT DIDN'T REALISE AND SHE HAD THE BABY EIGHT YEARS LATER!"
Isis slapped his head.
"Idiot." he muttered as Ariadne explained.
----------
Kairi sat in her room with Destiny.
"There's something going on," said the cat, "And I don't like it."
-----------
Aqua leant on the windowsill, Mika had the TV on loudly behind her.
"Can you turn that down?"
"No."
"I need to do my homework."
"So?"
Aqua turned the TV off.
Mika started to bawl.
Haruka came into the room.
"Aqua, what are you doing?"
"It isn't me! I need to do my homework!"
Haruka picked up Mika.
"Then we can watch digimon downstairs." she siad, walking off.
Aqua flopped on her bed. At least sharing the house with the outers had it's upside.
-------------SOME HOURS LATER----------
Alex sat next to Annie, who was taking his bed for the night.
"Well, umm....what do I do?" he asked.
"Tell me a story!" said Annie.
"Um...I don't know any st-"
Alex stopped. He could just go with a film's plot and put it into simpler terms.
"Oh. I have a story. It's called 'Alien Vs Predator.'"
---------------
Stella settled in her bed.
"Night, Ookasan." she said.
"Night night."
Trinity walked out and turned off the light.
ChibiTri huddled next to Stella and her soft snoring could be heard.
Stella slipped away into sleep.
--------
"And then the alien bursts out the man, like this!"
Alex showed Annie, who was gawping.
---------
There was a noise as Sailor Supernova appeared in Stella's room.
"Oh, a stallion Reve. How coincidental." she said, then grabbed Stella's arms and the stallion Reve and dispappeared.
ChibiTri opened her eyes.
"CHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIBBBBBBBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
----------
"And the predator jumped down from the ceiling of the old temple, putting the gun to the expedition leader's head and blasting his brains out..."
---------
Trinity ran into the room. Stella had gone.
"Stella?!" she screamed.
ChibiTri was crying.
Serena came into the room, followed by Rini and their parents.
"Stella's gone!" said Trinity.
"What's that?" asked her father, pointing to the floor.
Trinity picked up the object and looked. Then she dropped it to the floor and crushed it.
"I know where she is." said Trinity, and rushed out the room getting out her transmittor.
"Aqua! Yes, there's somethin-Oh, Mika too?"
----------------
"-Then proving that the only thing the alien's blood couldn't penertrate was the alien's armour-"
----------------
Serena looked at the crushed dark blue object.
Could it be-
no.
yes.
it was a cornflower.
