[PART THREE]

THE SATELLITE OF LOVE

 

 

               Hermione paced the length of the bridge, back and forth, over and over again, her fingers pulling at her frizzy brown hair as she walked. The others just watched her, unsure of what to say.

               “I can’t take much more of this…” Hermione whimpered. “Why me…?”

               “Poor kid…”Kero said quietly. “No endurance at all.”

               “Well, you have to admit this week’s experiment is much longer than most.” Sakura replied.

               Syaoran nodded in agreement. “Well, you can’t expect a rookie to take that kind of punishment.”

               Suddenly, alarms and sirens rang out.

               “OHHHH, WE'VE GOT FANFIC SIGN!!!”  Sakura cried out.         

               “Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…” Hermione cried. 

 

(Door 6: It shatters like glass.)

 

(Door 5: It’s made of ofudas. Syaoran recites an incantation and they burn away.)

 

(Door 4: It’s made of bars. They rise into the ceiling.)

 

(Door 3: It’s made of sleeping plushies. They suddenly wake up and scamper away.)

 

(Door 2: It’s a set of elevator doors. They open with a ‘ping’ sound.)

 

(Door 1: It’s a trap door. You fall through it.)

 

(Door .7: The camera pans downward where a giant vault door starts to open. A sudden rush of air sucks you through.)

 

               Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Hermione and Kero-Chan fall through the vault door and land in their seats while Kero-Chan floats overhead.

 

Kero: You okay, kid?

 

Hermione: I think so…

 

>Disclaimer: You damn lawyers! Back! I don't own anything, and I never said I did!!

 

Hermione:<author> I don’t even own this computer! It’s stolen.

 

>I'm getting even further with this fic!! 7th chapter!! Mwahaha… ^^; I own a few students! They're: Marissa Efferson, Jeremy Torsie, Vera Rubello, Reika Sureko, >Takashi Yuri, and Yume Anderson(A.K.A Dream) ^^ heehee, AND I'm already planning on a sequel for their 7th and last year at Hogwarts…then a wicked cool >…triquel or whatever you call it, the third part! So… *giggles* *sniffles sadly at the neglect that her stories may receive in the near future* I think I'm gonna >cry…so I might as well start the fic now…before you see me, cry-i-ing…WAHHHHHH!!!!!!

Sakura: Whoa! Did someone get the license plate number of that mood swing?

 

Tomoyo: Now who’s taking Usagi pills?

 

>Arnvid (Vale's pet eagle that can change into a human) *in human form*: …aww, Valey-Valey-chan-chan dun' cry… *expects angry reaction from her at using >chan, and 'Valey' twice*

Kero: Ummmm…. Okay.

 

>Vale: *sniffle* Thank you for trying to cheer me up Arvy-chan…*pauses momentarily* but, I can't forgive you for calling me Valey-chan…much less saying it >twice so…*giggles insanely as she cracks her knuckles and pounces on him and they engage in a hand-to-hand battle* READ-!

Sakura:<author> No, wait… I meant “DIE!”

 

>Arnvid: and review!
>Vale: Hey! That's my line!! OW! *gets hit*

Hermione: What is up with this author?

 

Tomoyo: Search us.


>HOTARU GOES TO HOGWARTS
>CHAPTER SEVEN
>BY:
>Vale (Saturn Angels)

Kero: Next, flying lessons.

 

Hermione:<Hotaru> In this skirt?! Are you crazy?! My name isn’t Misato Katsuragi.


>Yume and Hotaru were now seated in the Great Hall eating their lunches and Yume explaining about Quidditch.

 

Syaoran: Uh-oh…. I sense massive exposition ahead.

 

>"Alright then…first of all you play Quidditch on broomsticks. You fly, pretty neat huh?" she added before stuffing her mouth with a spoonful of mashed potatoes, >she swallowed took a sip of milk, at which point Hotaru shuddered, and continued,

 

Sakura:<Hotaru> Yuck! Why must she talk with her mouth full?

 

>"There are three different kinds of balls.

 

Kero:<sniggers>

 

Tomoyo: Not one word, Kero.

 

>They are um…the quaffle which scores ten points for the two teams playing against each other, our first match is between Hufflepuff by the way,

 

Hermione: Uh…Okay.

 

Syaoran: You gotta hand it to Dream, when she drops information, she drops information.

 

Kero: Yeah. Like a rock.

 

>and there are two bludgers which can get pretty wild knock you off your broom stick to fifty feet below where you don't feel too good when you wake up in the >infirmary…no one's been killed for years. We beaters use this little hitty-club thing to hit the bludgers out of our way.

 

Sakura: Hitty-club thing? Is that a technical term?

 

Tomoyo: Just be glad she doesn’t do the color commentating.

 

>Sort of a violent game you know…a bit like hockey…or something.

 

Kero: So the Canadians are really good a Quidditch?

 

Syaoran: Hufflepuff must be the equivalent of the Nashville Predators.

 

Sakura: Ouch!

 

>Then you have the golden snitch which flies around really hard to get, really really hard to get. Goes super fast, the seeker, who is Malfoy by the way, has to get it >before the other team because getting that will win the game…most likely. It gains the team who catches it one hundred and fifty points and ends the game. Now if >it's a long game and one team has one hundred sixty points from getting the quaffle in so much, the chaser goes after the quaffle by the way, the goalie guards the >hoops…

 

Hermione: Goalie?

 

Syaoran:<sniggers> Now up for Gryffindor, Ed Belafour.

 

Kero: Curtis Joseph having jumped ship after last season, the traitorous rat.

 

>there are three of them by the way; then if the other team who has zero points gets the snitch and the game ends the other team who had 160 points and

>didn't get the snitch would win. Get it?"

Tomoyo: Yeah. We got it about four books ago.


>Hotaru scratched her head slightly, "Yeah…I think so. Umm, so we have flying lessons tomorrow?"
>
>Yume nodded, "Yeah. And those new here, like you, will also get to try out for the House Quidditch team." She grinned, "It'd be funny if you made it in and took >the position of seeker! Malfoy would get so angry!" she laughed slightly as she imagined what the look on his face would be like.

Hermione: …if she smashed him in the face with the fireplace poker.

 

Sakura: That would be a twist.


>Hotaru smiled, "Yes…that would be funny however I don't think I'd be good enough on a broomstick to chase after a 'super fast snitch'."

Tomoyo: Those mob informers have been working on their athletics.

 

Syaoran: I can understand why.


>Yume shrugged, "Who knows, ya know?" she blinked slightly and sweatdropped, "Sorry, don't tell anyone but my mom got me the mini-playstation game Final >Fantasy VIII

 

Tomoyo:<Selphie Tillmitt> Boo-yaka!

 

>which you play on a miniature playstation, it's pocket sized…electronic,

 

Kero: As opposed to solar powered?

 

Syaoran: I suppose it’s futile to point out there’s no such thing as a mini-Playstation?

 

>they aren't allowed in Hogwarts…but what they don't know…won't get me expelled, ya know? Ugh…sorry…this guy named Raijin or always talks like that in the >game…anyway…we have a lot of time to spare before we go to Herbology, which I hate so much, why don't we go and visit Hagrid?"

Sakura:<Yume> By the way, do I talk to much? Some people think I talk too much. Some people say I just don’t know when to shut up, but that can’t be true, can it? I certainly don’t think so. I mean, I know when I’ve been talking too long and I’m certain I would know if I was talking for too long, don’t you think so? Anyway, as I was saying…  

 

Tomoyo: Who was Yume’s dialogue coach? Nanami Kiryuu?


>"Hagrid?" Hotaru asked blinking in confusion, too many new things were happening today.

Syaoran: Sadly, advancing the plot wasn’t one of them.


>"The groundskeeper. He's a half-giant he's pretty cool if you ask me most of the Slytherins stay away from him mainly because he's a half-giant, and really good >friends with Harry Potter and his gang…so naturally the Slytherins think he's a weird freak…but he's cool and would never hurt a fly! …Well maybe he would >accidentally step on it or something but let's go visit him!"

Kero: Whoa! Breathe, Yume! Breathe!

 

Hermione:<Yume a la Nanami Kiryuu> I have a new plan to beat Draco and I call it Operation Draco is a weirdo because he keeps a mongoose in his desk, an octopus in his closet and snails in his pencil case.

 

Syaoran: Now that I think about it, there isn’t that much difference between Ohtori Academy and Hogwarts.

 

Sakura: That is scary.


>Hotaru shrugged not like she had anything else to do anyway, "

 

Kero: Um… What?

 

Hermione: Care to fix that awkward sentence, fanfic?

 

>Okay then…" she then followed Yume outside and to a relatively small-yet large sized cabin on account that it belonged to a giant.

Sakura: Small, yet large.

 

Tomoyo: Skinny, yet fat.

 

Syaoran: Smart, yet dumb.

 

Kero: Tall, yet short.

 

Hermione: Fictional, yet true.


>Yume knocked on the door and moments later a big…man opened the door. Big was an understatement.

Kero:<Hagrid> I’m HUGE!


>"Hey, Dream…I see you brought a friend. Come in, Come in." he motioned for them to go into the room and they did.

Hermione: Uh… What? I didn’t know Hagrid had visitors besides us.

 

Sakura: Considering his cooking, that’s a reasonable assumption.


>"Hotaru meet Hagrid. Hagrid meet Hotaru." Yume paused momentarily and looked behind Hagrid, "Hotaru you know Harry, Hermione, and Ron already so no >need to introduce you guys."

 

All: GAH!!

 

Kero: Smooth introduction of characters there.

 

>She grinned at Ron waving slightly, "So…just thought we'd drop by, Herbology doesn't start until…" she paused momentarily and tried to remember, "In the >evening so…yup." She sat down on Hagrid's big armchair, with his permission of course, her legs dangled from it. "So…how are things with all of you?"

Tomoyo: More padding of the fic, I see.

 

Sakura: INTENSE… CONVERSATION… ACTION!!


>"Fine. Fine." Everyone answered at which Yume raised an eyebrow.

Kero:<George Carlin> FINE?! No one is FINE! Hair is fine. How’s your hair? FINE!


>Hotaru sat down next to Yume on the chair as it was big enough to fit both of them.
>
>"Well…this sure is an interesting conversation." Yume said sarcastically while flipping her cotton candy blue hair over her shoulder.

 

Kero: Cotton Candy blue? Huh?

 

Sakura: Would that be the Rei Ayanami blue, the Sylia Stingray blue or the Ami Mizuno blue?

 

Hermione: Maybe it’s Miki Kaoru blue.


>"We were talking about something private." Hermione said a bit stuck-up as she was talking to Slytherins after all…had to be on the defensive.

Hermione: I am *not* stuck up!!

 

Syaoran: Nanami’s personality seems to be infecting everyone in this fic.


>Yume grinned slightly, "What? You're on your period?" she asked teasingly. Hermione glared at her and Yume blinked nervously, "Hey I was only kidding."

Kero: Yeah. We all know how well PMS jokes go over.

 

Sakura: She should know better.


>"Yes, well I wasn't joking about us talking in private so if you wouldn't mind leaving?" Hermione said as she flipped her own frizzy brown hair over her shoulder.

Sakura: Ouch!

 

Kero:<Yume> Yes, I would mind, you bi—

 

Sakura: KERO!


>'Someone needs to blow dry her hair…' thought Yume bitterly,

 

Tomoyo: Why? Was it still wet or something?

 

Hermione: What’s wrong with my hair?

 

Kero: Well, it does have that stuck-your-hand-in-a-light-socket look to it.

 

>"Gee. I know when I'm not wanted here…come on Hotaru." She jumped off the chair and made her way to the door.

Sakura:<Hotaru> Oh, so I’m your lackey now? Bite me, Yume.

 

>"Maybe you could go to the Owlry or something," Ron suggested before the duo walked out.

Syaoran: Batman and Robin ignored him, however.

 

Hermione: I’d like to tell this fanfic where to go.


>"Tch. Imagine! I can't believe our next class is with them! Augh! Can you believe the way Hermione acted!?" she rolled her pretty hazel eyes to the sky in >annoyance, "We were talking about something private," Yume imitated in a high-pitched voice.

Hermione: MY VOICE IS NOT HIGH-PITCHED!!

 

Syaoran: Whoa! Dial it back a bit, Granger. It’s just a fanfic.

 

Kero: Ah, Hermione was just reacting the same way all canon characters react to ACCs.


>Hotaru sweatdropped, "Then again it wasn't exactly wise to ask if she was on her period…"

Tomoyo:<Madison Taylor> Well, duh.


>"I was joking!" Yume said defending herself, "Has no one in this place a sense of humor?"

Syaoran: As a guy who has lived with four older sisters and his mother, I think I can safely say that kind of humor in mixed company is likely to get you killed.


>"Hey…isn't it about time we went to Herbology?" Hotaru asked quietly.
>
>"Hm?
Oh yeah!" Yume quickly grabbed Hotaru's hand and they ran to the Herbology classroom, they made it on time barely.

Sakura: Wait a sec… I thought Herbology wasn’t until the evening.

 

Tomoyo: Time flies, I guess.


>She called roll, like all the teachers seemed to do.

Hermione: Hotaru called roll? Did she replace Professor Sprout?


>"Now class," Professor Sprout said,

 

Hermione: Oh! It was just poorly worded. Never mind.

 

>"We are going to be studying a special kind of plant, don't taste it no matter how good it may look…it's poisonous. It's a type of mushroom…" she paused slightly >to look over her class, "There are only twenty-three mushrooms however so you will have to be paired up into groups…I have arranged them here"

 

Sakura: Since when are poisonous mushrooms considered magic?

 

Kero: Well. There are mushrooms that are considered “magical” but it’s probably best they don’t teach a class on those either.

 

>Among the list of groups were: Tomoe Hotaru and Draco Malfoy, 'Dream' Anderson and Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, and Seamus Finnigan >(did I spell that right?),

 

Hermione:<checking the spelling> Yeah. Looks like it.

 

>Marissa Efferson and Neville Longbottom, Crabbe (forgot first name) and Goyle (ditto).

Hermione:<sighs> Vincent and Gregory.

 

Syaoran: Look, I don’t mean to nitpick, but either look this stuff up or don’t bother mentioning it.


>Hotaru looked over to her partner as she walked over to him she had the sudden urge to bang her head on a table, 'Even fate mocks me!' she thought as she >seemed to always be paired up with him, the only class they weren't a team in was music/art.

Tomoyo:<fate> Ha, ha!


>"Well, Tomoe…we meet again." He said silently as she sat next to him and they waited for the mushrooms to be passed out to them.

Syaoran:<Malfoy> But now *I* am the one with the power.

 

Kero:<Malfoy> You have interfered with the plans of SPECTRE for the last time, 007.


>She had the urge to say 'Well no ¢r@p Malfoy-kun, we are in the same house and I see you EVERYDAY' but of course she only smiled slightly, "What a >coincidence." She said sarcastically while rolling her eyes.

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Bitch to the hand, load.


>A mushroom was passed to them. "You are to study it," blah, blah, blah. "Take notes," blah blah.

Sakura: Oh. The Charlie Brown teacher is back.


>Hotaru looked at the mushroom, "What's so interesting about it? It's a poisonous mushroom…no big deal."

Hermione:<Hotaru> Lethal fungus… Pfft…


>Draco glared a little, "What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"

Kero: As long as it’s not Draco, we don’t care.

 

Syaoran: Eww.


>'Damn, I'm acting strange, he'll notice. He's gonna ask about the other night. No! Get a hold of yourself! Act natural' "All of a sudden showing concern are you?" >she asked with a smirk and shrugged, "Actually I am a bit shaken about what happened yesterday…"

Sakura: Oh, just kill him and get it over with.


>He blinked thinking about the 'dream' he had, had, "Yesterday?"

Tomoyo: He had Dream? Ick! Ick! Ick!

 

Hermione: I don’t think she meant it that way… At least I hope not.


>"Don't you remember anything Malfoy-kun?" she asked rolling her eyes and over dramatically sniffling, "You know, in Divinations?"
>
>"Oh that." He said unconcerned and went back to studying the mushroom.

Kero: THRILL as they STARE at the MUSHROOM!!!

 

Sakura: INTENSE… STUDYING… ACTION!!


>She tightened her lips into a thin line and felt like smacking him upside the head with her wand. She glared at Draco, though he wasn't watching her at all, so >instead turned her glare on the mushroom as if it was the mushroom's fault everything was happening.

Syaoran: Come on. Hit him just once.

 

Kero: You know you want to.


>"Something wrong Ms. Tomoe?" the teacher asked horribly mispronouncing her last name (she pronounced it Toe-moe, like the dubbed people said it instead of >Toh-moh-eh)

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> And they keep confusing me with that dead chick in “Rurouni Kenshin”. What’s up with that?

 

Kero: All this pronunciation nitpicking… Sounds like *you* wrote this fic, Granger.

 

Hermione: Expelliarmus!

 

<Kero is blasted through the air>

 

Hermione: You can just bite me, plushie.


>She looked at the teacher, "No. Nothing, I'm just concentrating." She lied.

Sakura: Suddenly, the mushroom burst into flame.

 

Hermione:<Hotaru> Oops… Maybe a little bit too much glaring.


>The teacher accepted the answer and turned back to whatever she was doing previously.
>
>She began taking notes…which read as the following:

Tomoyo:<author> Hang on a sec… I’m having trouble with Hotaru’s handwriting.

 

Syaoran: Does she still write in kanji or has she learned English characters?

 

Sakura: Well, she sure speaks the language well enough.


>The mushroom is spotted. It is poisonous.
>The spotted mushroom is poisonous.
>You can't eat it because it is poisonous and spotted.
>Poisonous describes the mushroom.

Hermione: I’m sensing a trend here.

 

Kero: Redundant much?

 

>Spotted also describes the mushroom.
>Mushroom is the noun that spotted and poisonous describe.
>Draco looks so cute when he's concentrating.

Tomoyo:<singing> One of these things is not like the others.

 

Syaoran: Yeah. People just subconsciously write out their thoughts without realizing it.


>She paused, 'How did that get in there!?!?!' she thought angrily and removed it with a flick of her wand before anyone could see it, she looked over at her partner >angrily, 'Bleh. How could I even write that!?

 

Syaoran: You didn’t. Blame Vale.

 

Sakura:<Hotaru> Geez… And I thought the Amazoness Duo were pushy.

 

>-Insert Hotaru's conscious- 'Not that bad looking if you ask me.'

 

Hermione: If you’re into the serpentine pure-evil look, I guess.

 

>'…shaddup' she clenched her teeth, 'Come on Hotaru! What are you thinking! You can't like him! He's Draco! You hate him!' then as a side note, 'Breath >in…breath out…breath in…breath out.' It was then that she realized she actually had been holding her breath and began breathing normally.

Tomoyo: Oh, great. Hotaru is tripping in the middle of the scene.

 

Kero: It would explain her sudden attraction to Draco at least.


>Needless to say that class went agonizingly slow for Hotaru, for Yume it actually went pretty well.
>
>"Hey Ron?"
Yume asked poking the mushroom with her quill.

Syaoran: So, now it’s a poison pen?

 

<The others groan.>


>"Hm?" he responded staring at the mushroom quite bored.
>
>"Are the notes going to be graded?"
>
>"I don't think so…"

Hermione: Then again, this is *Ron* we’re talking about. He barely remembers that he’s supposed to *take* notes.


>"Good." She said and closed her empty notebook, "So…have you been to the Music/Art class yet?" she asked.
>
>He shook his head.

Kero:<Ron> Just getting the dust and cobwebs out.

 

Syaoran: If this turns out to be another hormone attack, I’m leaving.


>"It's really cool, the teacher is so nice!"

Sakura:<Yume> When she’s not threatening to rip Pansy a new one, anyway.


>Thus began their conversation…so now we switch to a more entertaining duo.

Syaoran: Laurel and Hardy?

 

Kero: Martin and Lewis?

 

Sakura: Abbott and Costello?

 

Hermione: Siegfried and Roy?

 

<The others stare at her>

 

Hermione: What?


>Marissa stared at the mushroom, "…I dare you to eat it Neville." She said quite suddenly but in a whisper.

Tomoyo: So suddenly she forgot her comma.

 

Kero: What else is new?


>"But the teacher said it was poisonous!"
>
>She was silent for a moment as if contemplating that fact, "…So?"

Sakura:<Marissa> Chances are you’ll be bumped off by Rowling in book five or six anyway.


>"I'll die!" he said nervously though he too spoke in whisper.
>
>"…So?" she said again though jokingly.

Tomoyo:<Marissa>You haven’t had a glory moment since the end of the Philosopher’s Stone plot. It’s not like anyone will notice.


>"You eat it first!" he said whispering still.
>
>"…umm…" she thought about it for a while, "How about we cut it in half and both take a bite?"
>
>He looked at her as if she were crazy before raising his hand, "Professor!" he whined.

Kero: Yup. That’s Neville alright.

 

Hermione: Hey! Be nice!


>"No! No!" she whispered fretfully trying to pull his arm back down, "I was only kidding!"

Tomoyo:<Marissa> Besides, if I wanted to kill you I’d just slip arsenic in your tea.

 

Sakura: You get the feeling Marissa is trying to thin out the cast?

 

Syaoran: Yeah. Next she’ll be advising everyone to quit school and join the AD Police.


>And…nothing interesting happens with Crabbe, Goyle, and their stupidity. Hermione did all the note taking and even went as far as counting the spots. The spots >for crying out loud! Anyway…moving on…

Syaoran: I get the feeling this author doesn’t like you much, Hermione.

 

Hermione: Well, I don’t like her either.


>Well…that class went slow to say the least...especially for Hotaru but the class ended, finally, and Hotaru waited for Yume so they could leave.
>
>"You didn't get any notes taken Tomoe." Draco said raising an eyebrow.

Kero:<Malfoy a la Spock> Fascinating…


>"Yes I did." Hotaru said matter-of-factly, "The mushroom is spotted, and poisonous."

Sakura: It was?

 

Hermione: What a huge surprise!

 

Syaoran: Never saw that coming.


>He turned and walked away quickly followed by Crabbe and Goyle; Hotaru could have sworn he actually was about to laugh, and not that cruel, evil, wicked, >mocking (pick one) laugh.

Kero: Yes! It’s pick-your-adjective day!

 

Tomoyo:<Draco> OHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!

 

<The others sweatdrop>

 

Syaoran: Please don’t do that again, Daidouji. It’s scary.


>Yume walked up to her with a smile, "Hey. You've heard of that Christmas Holiday Dance by now right?"
>
>Hotaru blinked, "Christmas Holiday Dance?"

Sakura:<Hotaru> Yume… It’s still September.


>Yume nodded, "Yeah, it's the day before the holidays that we go home and stuff, or stay here and just relax but anyway there's a dance here. Pretty cool huh? It's >the first ever dance that Hogwarts has given, ever since the Yule Ball everyone wanted more dances and stuff so Dumbledore (she had fun pronouncing it Dumbly->door)

 

Hermione: Dumbledore, on the other hand, wanted to smack her every time she pronounced it that way.

 

>agreed to have a dance before every Christmas break, all the years have different days for them to ensure there's enough room for everyone to dance so…yeah, >this is the only dance besides the one seventh years get for their graduation…but anyway guess what?" she looked excited about something.

Kero: Okay. Now that Nanami thing is getting creepy.

 

Tomoyo:<Yume> Hermione sent me this designer cow bell.

 

Syaoran: Oh, yeah. THAT’S something we should revisit.


>"…What?" Hotaru asked not really wanting to know but knowing that Yume would keep asking if she wanted to know anyway so might as well get it over with.

Hermione:<Hotaru, monotone> Oh, please. Do tell.


>"Ron asked me to go with him." She said happily.

Hermione: Oh, really?

 

Kero: Jealous, Granger?

 

Hermione: Why? I still have Victor Krum.

 

Syaoran: Really? I thought you would’ve ditched him after you realized he’d never be able to pronounce your name.


>"In class today?" Hotaru asked blinking.
>
>Yume nodded, "Yup! Isn't it romantic?" she asked with a small sigh.

Sakura: Romantic how?

 

Tomoyo: Well, nothing inspires romance more than conversation over poisonous fungi.


>Hotaru wondered how she found being asked out to a dance while in Herbology even the slightest bit romantic, "…That's great…" Hotaru said scratching the >back of her head slightly.

Kero:<Hotaru> Yeah. Really.


>"Yeah I know." Yume said smiling, "Anyway…we have the rest of the evening, hasn't anyone asked you out yet?"
>
>Hotaru stayed silent, "No, actually no one has, and I'm glad."

Hermione:<Hotaru> Have you taken a close look at the guys around here? Ick.


>Yume raised an eyebrow, "You're glad? Hmph. Oh well, still we have to go out and buy our dresses!"

Sakura: Lovely. Now we’re facing the inevitable “clothes buying scene”.

 

Syaoran: It’s like “The Only Constant” all over again.


>"Where would we do that?" Hotaru asked slightly confused.

Kero: Gee… Maybe a dress shop?


>"Hogsmeade." Yume answered simply, "The people who didn't bring dresses or whatever to the school will have the chance one week previous to go to >Hogsmeade and buy a dress."

Hermione: Fashion crisis! All classes must stop NOW!!


>Hotaru shrugged, "Well I don't need a dress since I won't be going to the dance."
>
>"You'll need a dress anyway," Yume explained as if it were obvious, "Even if you don't go to the dance, you need a dress for the concert that we're performing in >Music/Art. And you're going to the concert even if I have to drag you kicking and screaming the whole way."

Kero: Because forcing you to do things you don’t want to are what best friends are for, right?


>Hotaru blinked slightly and stayed silent.
>
>"But now, we have to go to the Slytherin…Common Room…and go sleep. Because tomorrow you have your first flying lesson."

Tomoyo: I see Yume’s speech pattern has switched from Nanami Kiryuu to William Shatner.


>"Oh…good." Hotaru said with a slight shrug and the two began walking back to the SCR.

Sakura: Oh, for…

 

Hermione: With all the padding in this fanfic the author can’t even be bothered to write out “Slytherin Common Room”?


>While they were walking up one of the staircases it began to move and Hotaru and Dream had to hold onto the sides so they wouldn't lose their balance.

Syaoran: I see we’ve suddenly switched to movie continuity.


>"Oh…great." Yume said shaking her head while it pointed in the opposite direction now.
>
>"Wow…that never happened to me before, that was cool! Let's do it again!" a blonde first year Hufflepuff, by the name of Annie, said excitedly.

All: GAH!!

 

Sakura: Geez… Another ACC just pops outta the woodwork.

 

Syaoran: Somebody call the Orkin man.


>Yume looked at the short girl who looked as if she were four feet three inches and extremely hyper. "…No, let's not! I want to get back to my common room >before I…" she paused suddenly and stared in one direction, "Hey…what was that??"

Kero: Yeah. Don’t bother introducing the new character or anything.

 

Tomoyo: Ah, she’s just more window dressing anyway.


>"What was what?" Hotaru asked turning away from the little girl to look at Yume curiously.
>
>"…I thought…I just saw Marissa…but she was with this…thing…and it was…really ugly…and…I wanna go back to the common room now!" she said >frightened.

Syaoran: Probably just Jay Gordon again, the little suck-up.

 

Sakura: Heh.

 

Hermione: I’m not going to ask.


>This of course was really spooking the small first year and she clung onto Hotaru's waist, "I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die!" she repeated over and over >shutting her eyes.

Kero: Spooks easily, doesn’t she?

 

Hermione:<Annie> An ant!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

 

Sakura:<wincing> Next time, lower the volume, okay?


>"Is it still there??" Hotaru asked Yume trying to stay calm as the staircase had practically detached itself from the main one and there was only one direction to go - >up.

Kero: Geez… All this over something Yume *might* have seen.


>"I. I. Don't know!!" she said backing up a bit, "they went into that door!"
>
>Hotaru was silent for a moment as she viewed their surroundings, "…that's the way we have to go…"
>
>"Why??" Yume asked with a slight whine, "Why can't we just go back down?" she then took the time to look down and noticed that if they were to go back down >they would meet nothing but air.

Tomoyo:<Church Lady> How conveeeeeeeeenient.

 

Kero: Staircases courtesy the Deus Ex Machina Company.


>"We have no time to wait for the staircase to change again…we'll have to go up." Hotaru said determined.
>
>"Well...we don't have to go through the door I mean…we could just go…on to the next staircase…"
>
>"Exactly." Hotaru said with a nod and the trio began walking up, Annie still clinging onto Hotaru.

Sakura:<Hotaru> Do you mind? I don’t even know your name, kid.


>When the reached the intersection they were most unfortunate, the stair cases changed again and they were left on the small platform with nowhere else to go but >through the door.

Hermione: We sure are burning through the plot contrivances, aren’t we?


>"Looks like we'll have to go through…" Hotaru said forcing herself to be calm, there was something…not right about all of this.

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> It’s like I’m a character in a cheesy, manipulative fanfic.


>"Through!?" squeaked the Hufflepuff clinging onto her tighter, But I'm only eleven! I'm too young to die!"

Sakura:<Annie> I haven’t even gotten a chance to defy my parents yet!

 

Tomoyo:<Annie> And the thought of ending up like Moaning Myrtle scares the hell out of me!


>"You're not going to die." Hotaru reassured her, "…Don't worry I'll make sure of it. Just be brave nothing is going to hurt us…remember, we're in the school…it's >the number 1 safest place in the entire world." Well…that might have been a lie but it got the girl's confidence up.

Hermione: Yeah. We all know how much *safer* the Juuban district is.

 

Sakura: Ouch!


>Everyone now looked at the door with looks of: Hotaru-determination, Dream-fear, and Annie-shut eyes.

Sakura: They all had the exact same different look.

 

Hermione: There it is, folks. The most awkward sentence yet.


>"Okay…Hotaru you go first." Yume said walking behind Hotaru.

Tomoyo:<Yume> You’re the star of this thing so you’ll be the least likely to die.


>"…Fine." Hotaru walked closer to the door and opened it. "Well…it's um…not locked…" she said as if that helped at all. She walked in slowly followed by the >first year then Yume. "…It looks…empty…"
>
>"Good. Let's leave maybe the staircases changed back to normal by now." Yume said as she looked around the extremely dark room.

Hermione:<sighs> I suppose it would be too much to expect them to know the Lumos spell.

 

Syaoran: Apparently.


>Hotaru was about to leave when she saw some faint glimmering in the corner of the room, she began to approach it slowly.

Kero:<Hotaru> Shiny…


>"Curiosity killed the cat…" Yume warned.
>
>"But satisfaction brought it back." Annie said with a childish grin.
>
>Yume glared at the girl, "You weren't supposed to say that, we're trying to leave."
>
>"Oh…" the girl said giggling which echoed eerily in the empty room.

Sakura: Is this the same kid who was clinging to Hotaru and wailing just three seconds ago?

 

Syaoran: Someone get the license number of that mood swing.


>Hotaru approached the glimmering object only to find it was a heart-shaped locket with the symbol of Saturn on it. She knelt to pick it up when a hand came out >of the shadows and grabbed her wrist.

 

Tomoyo:<Hotaru>YIKES! Eegah! What are you doing here?!

 

Kero:<Eegah> Shtem-loooow…

 

Syaoran:<sniggers> Watch out for Slytherins.

 

>She screamed, as did Yume and Annie. Annie wasted no time in running out of the room and Yume began to freak out and could only stand there, "I knew we >shouldn't have come in here!!" she cried, "I'll go get help!" she said suddenly then bolted out of the room leaving Hotaru and the strange figure alone.

All:<singing> She bravely ran away. She bravely ran away, away.


>'Oh great!! Yume! You coward!' she thought as she tried to fight off the thing that was holding her right hand, the person in the shadows still not visible to her.
>
>"You should have listened to your little friend." A cruel, raspy voice said, "now you'll pay the consequences…Saturn…"

Sakura:<Hotaru, monotone> Oh, you’re really scaring me. Help.


>Hotaru struggled in the thing's grasp and finally remembered exactly who she was and who the thing was trying to mess with, she gave a slight growl as she held >her left hand up, "Saturn Planet Power, MAKE UP!" she screamed.

Kero: Pan-ty shot! Pan-ty shot!

 

Sakura: Kero!


>Nothing happened and the thing began laughing cruelly,

 

Syaoran: Ben Grimm has apparently left the Fantastic Four to join the dark side.

 

>"You shouldn't try my patience Saturn…unfortunately now is too early to make myself known…it would be foolish of me and everything would be ruined…so…I >will let you go for now, take the necklace if you want…you seemed so interested in it."

 

Kero: Voldemort would quickly regret letting the Millennium Puzzle fall into Hotaru’s hands.

 

Syaoran:<Yugi Moto> Hey! That’s *mine*!

 

>Then suddenly the figure disappeared completely leaving no trace that it >was ever there though the thing's laughter could still be clearly heard.

 

Kero: So… There was a trace that it was there.

 

Syaoran: I hate to be a downer, but since Sailor Saturn can wide out whole civilizations is it really a good idea for Voldemort to pick a fight with her?

 

Tomoyo: Yeah. Why doesn’t he just walk up to Priss Asagiri and tell her that hard suit makes her look fat.

 

Sakura: Or ask Serena Shezar to start a fire, if you get my drift.

 

>Hotaru looked at the locket and put it in her pocket.

 

Hermione: Hey! That rhymes!

 

>She ran out of the room as quick as her legs could carry her and crashed straight into Draco. He fell backwards, Hotaru practically on top of him.

All:<muted trumpet imitation> Wah-wah-wah-waaaaaaahhh!

 

Tomoyo: Gee… Nothing cliché here.


>Draco looked at Hotaru with a raised eyebrow, "You act as if you've seen a apparition or something Tomoe…"

Kero: Somebody’s been reading the thesaurus.

 

Hermione: I don’t care how wordy he gets, he’s still a dolt.


>Hotaru quickly got off of him, "Maybe I did." She said coldly, "Have you seen Yume?"
>
>"Yume??" he'd never heard of anyone by that name before.
>
>"…Dream." Hotaru said forgetting that, that was the only name he knew her by.

Sakura: This is a very sad statement.

 

Syaoran: Never mind the fact that he must have heard it at least a dozen times during roll calls.


>"No, I haven't seen her…why do you ask?" before Hotaru answered him Hotaru ran past him heading straight to the Slytherin Common Room.

 

Kero:<Hotaru> Uh… Gotta go! BYE!

 

Syaoran: Are there two Hotarus in this scene or…

 

Sakura: Awkward wording powers ACTIVATE!

 

>Before she even got there though she witnessed a very strange sight…Yume was sitting against the wall holding her left arm and panting heavily her face looked >paler then usual and she was staring at the floor.

Syaoran: Wait a sec… Blue hair, pale complexion… My God! Yume is actually Rei Ayanami!

 

Kero: So now there are two anime girls who can annihilate humanity at Hogwarts. That’s nice.


>Hotaru rushed to her, "Yume! Are you okay? What happened?"

Hermione:<Yume> I had the most horrible vision… It was a sequel to “Freddy Got Fingered”…

 

Tomoyo: Now *that’s* a frightening vision.


>Yume looked up her eyes half closed, "…Someone…something attacked me…" she said quietly her breathing arduous.
>
>"Attacked??" Hotaru asked confused, "Who? What? Why?" she asked suddenly.

Sakura:<Hotaru> When? Where? How?

 

Kero: Gee… I dunno. Maybe the evil laughing thing had something to do with it.


>Yume rolled her eyes a slight laugh escaping her lips though it sounded more like a little gasp, "I don't know…" she licked her dry lips, "Hotaru…I really don't feel >well…I don't think…I'm going to," she coughed, "…tell Ron I'm sorry, okay?" her right arm slid from where it was holding her left arm and revealed a deep gash >where blood fell like a waterfall.

All: Eeeeewww…

 

Sakura:<Lucia from “Lunar 2: Eternal Blue”> Pain…

 

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> I told her not to go chasing waterfalls.


>Hotaru's eyes widened in surprise as Yume's eyes went blank and she slumped on the floor. "Yume!!" she cried in horror as she shook the girl. "Iie!!" ("No!!")

Hermione:<Hotaru> It’ll take forever to clean this up!


>Someone started shaking Hotaru slightly repeating her name softly. Her vision went blank for a brief couple of seconds and when she opened her eyes again the >sun was just beginning to rise and Yume was shaking Hotaru.

All: Huh?!


>"Looks like you had a bad dream, huh Hotaru? You were shouting and screaming in your sleep…you're a heavy sleeper." Yume added, "Yesterday after >Herbology you just came back here and fell asleep like you were dead or something, you must have been tired?"

<Long pause>

 

All: ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

 

Kero: I don’t believe it! The fanfic has been *toying* with us!

 

Sakura: Lovely. It’s “Stolen” all over again.

 

Syaoran:<Draco as Lantis> Awk! Awk! Awk!

 

Tomoyo:<Yume as Hikaru> Tea! I need more tea!

 

Hermione: I’m not going to ask.


>Hotaru looked around her she was in her bed in the girl's dormitory, everything was normal… she sighed slightly, "…Yeah…I guess I was…" she said slightly >holding her head, "should we go down and have some breakfast?" she asked finally.

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Man. First the crystal ball and now the weird prophetic dreams. When did I turn into Hitomi Kanzaki?


>"Yeah, sure. I'm starving!" Yume said with a slight grin then went to get dressed into her robes.

Kero: So… Until now she was naked?

 

Sakura: Kero…

 

Tomoyo:<Asuka Langley Sohryu> It’s about time you got up, you idiots!

 

Hermione: That was a really good impression.

 

Tomoyo: Thanks! I learned that one from Li-kun.

 

Hermione: Eh?!


>Hotaru did the same, and once she was finished she was about to go and meet Yume in the main room of the common rooms, which she liked to call the lobby >since that's what it looked like, when she heard a slight jingle in her pocket. She blinked and pulled out a crystal heart-shaped locket dangling by a gold chain, she >turned it around and there was the sign of Saturn on it glowing slightly purple. She gasped and stared at the necklace shaking her head in confusion.

All: DUM DUM DUUUUMMMM!!

 

Syaoran: Ah, the old ‘Was-It-A-Dream-Or-Not?’ routine.


>"Hotaru!" Yume called from downstairs, "Come on!! I'm hungry!" she said in a whining voice.

Sakura:<Hotaru> Great… I finally ditch Chibi-Usa and now I’m stuck with another whiner. My life sucks.

 

Syaoran: Yume Anderson will now be played by Arch Hall Jr.

 

Kero:<Yume a la Arch Hall Jr.> Hotaruuuuuuu! Hotaruuuuuuu!


>Hotaru put the necklace into her sub-space pocket and ran downstairs to the 'lobby'.

 

Hermione: Any reason for the emphasis on “lobby”, fanfic?

 

Sakura: Gee… And here I was hoping we’d finally ditched the sub-space pocket plot device.


>"Alright. Let's go!" Yume said with a grin and the two began walking to the great hall, Hotaru staying silent the whole way while Yume talked about the upcoming >dance, and what color she wanted her dress to be, how she was going to put her hair up, etc. "Hotaru? Hotaru are you listening at all?" Yume asked finally >noticing how Hotaru was staring at the floor as she walked.

Tomoyo: Years of listening to Chibi-Usa have given Hotaru a natural talent for blocking out annoying sounds and inane chatter.


>"What?"
>
>Yume rolled her eyes, "I said that I want my dress either black, gray, white, dark red, blue, pink, orange, or maybe yellow…what do you think?"

Hermione: Have you missed a color there, Yume?


>"…Not gray. Not white…" Hotaru paused for a moment trying to decide what color would go best on account that Yume's hair was of course a very awkward >shade of blue, cotton-candy colored, then she had hazel eyes, and sallow skin…, "Not black either…or red. Not yellow…or orange. I think…dark blue would be >best."

Kero: Hazel eyes? Maybe she isn’t a Rei clone.

 

Sakura: Colored contacts?

 

Syaoran: Guys… She won’t shut up and she’s been copping an attitude. The only way Yume is a Rei clone is if she got a personality transplant with those colored contacts.


>Yume nodded, "Okay then. What's yours going to be?"
>
>"Purple."
Hotaru answered simply, "Or black."

Tomoyo: This season it’s not called purple, babe, it’s aubergene.


>"No! You can't wear those colors! Sure it'll contrast greatly to your skin tone, but you don't want to wear purple. And too many people will wear black, especially >the boys! We get enough black from the school robes! You're going to where red."

Hermione:<Hotaru> Says you! Who died and made you my wardrobe master?

 

Sakura:<dryly> Sounds like someone I know.

 

Kero:<Tomoyo> Wear this! It’ll be so *kawaii*!

 

Tomoyo: Hey!


>"…Red??" Hotaru asked staring at Yume strangely, she'd never worn red in her entire life…well maybe a red sweater once in her 2nd life when she was three >years old.
>
>"Yup, red will look really good on you. I'm thinking along the lines of a … really dark red, blood red, or brick red. Something around that area."

Sakura: It’s probably best if you don’t describe it as being “blood red”.

 

Tomoyo:<Yume> I look at you and for some reason I think of gore and death.


>Hotaru shrugged, not like it should matter what she wore…

Kero:<Hotaru> I was actually planning on going naked.

 

Sakura: Kero…


>"So…you're first flying lesson is today. Are you nervous?" Hotaru asked as they entered the great hall.

Hermione: Six years and she’s never had a flying lesson?


>"Sort of." Hotaru answered truthfully as they received their food and sat down at the Slytherin table to eat it.

Tomoyo: Instead of the food already being at the table as it usually is?

 

Kero: Let’s not nitpick here.


>Yume as usual stuffed her mouth greatly before speaking again, "Well…you seemed sort of uncomfortable in your sleep…"

Hermione:<Yume> I wonder if it had anything to do with those tacks I left in your bed.


>Hotaru shifted uneasily, "Well you see…" she was interrupted by hundreds of owls pouring in and dropping off letters and packages. A letter fell into Hotaru's lap >and she stared at it with a raised eyebrow, "Who would be writing to me?" she wondered blinking.
>
>"Maybe…it's a secret admirer!" Yume said excitedly, "Asking you to the dance!"

Syaoran: Yume really needs to stop having so much coffee in the morning.


>Hotaru shook her head, that was highly unlikely. She opened the letter and began to read it.
>
>Hotaru,
>
>This is Rei.

 

Kero:<Rei a la Carlton> Your doorman.

 

>You better remember me.

 

Tomoyo:<Rei> ‘Cause dammit, I’m one of the stars of this show, you little twerp!

 

>Listen, all the senshi are over at my house right now, and of course I know you can't make it, I'm not sure how fast this owl will go…Haruka-san lent me hers. But >listen, I just did a fire reading, I have to tell you something really important, so as soon as you get this note you have to go somewhere in private and use your >communicator to contact us, alright??

Hermione: Oh, for… JUST WRITE IT DOWN, YOU KNOB!


>Rei & co.

Kero: Serving your panty shot needs since 1994.

 

Sakura: Kero…


>"What's it say?" Yume asked curiously holding out her hand expecting Hotaru to give the letter to her.
>
>"…Nothing."
Hotaru answered then stood from her chair still holding the letter in hand, "Um…Yume I'll be right back I have to go outside for a little bit…"

Tomoyo:<Yume> But we have a bathroom upstairs.

 

Hermione: Eeewwww…


>Yume blinked and looked at Hotaru suspiciously, "…Alright, I'll go with you then…"
>
>"No. No. You don't have to…you can finish eating…" Hotaru said nervously.

Sakura: Anyone else getting the feeling that Hotaru is trying to ditch Yume?

 

Kero: I’m just wondering what took her so long.


>Yume eyed her doubtfully, "…Is that a note from a secret admirer telling you to meet him at the Quidditch field or something? Alone?"

Hermione:<Hotaru> Do the words “None of your damn business” mean anything to you, Yume?


>"…Yes, that's exactly what it is." She lied then ran off before Yume could say anymore.

Syaoran: Boy, she really was desperate to get away.


>Yume shrugged slightly, "I'll follow when I'm finished eating." She mumbled and began eating her pancakes again.

Kero:<Yume> Can’t let her think she’s allowed to her privacy or anything.


>Hotaru rushed out to the Quidditch field, practice hadn't begun yet and no one was on the field but her. She opened her communicator which had always been on >her wrist (remember? Wrist-watch things?) after about half a second of waiting Rei's face appeared, relieved.

Tomoyo:<Rei> You had to call me in the bathroom, didn’t you?

 

Sakura: Ick! Ick! Ick!


>Rei: Good Hotaru. You got my letter?

Syaoran:<glancing at the letter> Hey! That’s Ranma’s letter from “Neon Ranma Evangelion”!

 

Kero: That letter gets around.


>Hotaru nodded, "Yes Rei. What did you see? Is everything alright?"
>
>Rei: Well everything is alright over here but it's where you are where the trouble is brewing.

Sakura:<Rei> Right here in River City!

 

Hermione: Trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with C and that stands for Crap!


>Usagi's face suddenly appeared instead of Rei's, you could hear Rei grumbling in the background.
>
>Usagi: Listen, Hotaru! You have to get out of that school please. It's dangerous now.

Tomoyo:<Usagi> Screw the Brits! Let them die!

 

Sakura:<Usagi> You stay in school much longer and you’ll be smarter than me and I can’t have that!


>"I am a senshi Usagi-hime." Hotaru said with a small smile, "I can take care of myself…"
>
>Usagi: Hotaru! Listen to me! It's not safe! There's some sort of evil ugly thing at your…'school'!

Hermione: Oh, so now she’s questioning whether Hogwarts deserves to be called a school?

 

Syaoran: Usagi’s judgment of academics is about as reliable as Genma Saotome’s marriage counseling. 


>"Evil ugly thing?" Hotaru asked blinking, "If you're talking about that Voldemort character, he's no threat to me. He only wants revenge on that Potter kid…"

Hermione: And the deaths of muggles and world domination and…


>Usagi: No. No. No! It's not that guy! This one's much uglier! I saw a picture of Voldemort off the internet that Setsuna sent me!

All: WHA--?!

Kero: Well, so much for keeping the world of magic a secret, huh?

 

Hermione: He hasn’t actually been around for a decade and even then I don’t think he was much for photo shoots.


>Rei(in bg): I'm surprised you know how to use the internet Usagi no baka.

Syaoran: Who did she learn it from? Umino? Shingo?

 

Kero: The only thing they could teach her is how to download porn.

 

Sakura: Kero!


>Usagi: …I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Hotaru, you have to get the outers and get out of there! This thing's way too powerful for us!

Hermione: Bah… Wussy senshi. We didn’t want or need you to begin with.

 

Sakura:<Usagi> And by us I mean me.


>"Well…what does this thing you're talking about do?"
>
>Usagi: Hold on, I'll get Ami!

Hermione: Ah! Someone competent!

 

Tomoyo: Ouch!


>Ami's face appeared instead of Usagi's.
>
>Ami: This thing is pure evil itself Hotaru. It seems he's teamed up with this Voldemort person. This guy uses dreams to communicate, he is helping Voldemort >return to his full power. There's going to be a battle Hotaru.

Tomoyo:<Madison Taylor> Well, DUH!

 

Kero: Tom Green has joined Voldemort? That *is* scary!


>Hotaru groaned, "No…I…" she sighed, "Then I'll have to help fight."
>
>Ami: No Hotaru.
You should never have gotten involved with those people. Please Hotaru, we're begging you to return home. Chibiusa is so worried for you.

Syaoran: Oh, yeah. *There’s* a reason to rush home.

 

Sakura:<Hotaru> Look, I came here to get away from you idiots! GO AWAY!!


>Hotaru's eyes widened, "…Ch-Chibiusa??"

Sakura:<Hotaru> Dear God! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!


>Ami nodded.
>
>Ami: Yes.
She's coming back to
Tokyo for a visit next week…after we told her of the situation…and…Hotaru she wants to see you!

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! WHAT MUST I DO TO RID MYSELF OF THAT COTTON CANDY HAIRED PARASITE?!


>Hotaru shook her head taking a deep breath, "Ami. I can't do that! There are people I care about a lot over here…"

Kero:<Hotaru> People who are nice and likeable, not like you guys.


>Ami: Please Hotaru…I know it will be hard for you but you have to leave. If you don't we'll go and drag you back, you're our teammate and if we lose one >everyone falls apart.

Syaoran: They apparently forgot to tell Usagi that during the showdown with Beryl.

 

Hermione: Geez… You survived three seasons without her, get a grip.


>Hotaru shook her head vigorously, "I'm sorry Ami. But I can't go back, sayonara" she closed her communicator and threw it into her sub-space pocket angrily and >went to sit in the bleachers. "I don't care how strong this evil thing is…I can defeat it…how dare they try and persuade me to go home?

 

Tomoyo: The inner senshi just can’t deal with not being the stars of the story.

 

>…I suppose I may for a while during the holidays…possibly. But…there's no way that I'm leaving the school…or leaving my friends…though they are few I love >them dearly…" Hotaru sighed and put her head in her hands, "but I can't stop this thing alone…" her eyes brightened suddenly when she remembered Michiru, >Haruka, and Setsuna were all there with her. She sighed relieved but still felt that only a small rock had been lifted from her shoulders yet she still held the world.

 

Hermione:<Hotaru> Damn! When did I become Atlas over here?

 

>She would have to return…for a short period of time if only to see Chibiusa…

 

Syaoran: …and strangle her.

 

Tomoyo: It’s best not to leave that particular task unfinished.

 

>and to confirm that she was going to stay at Hogwarts and defeat whatever was trying to harm the people there…

Kero: Or she could just stay there and tell the inner senshi to mind their own damn business.


>"I never thought I'd see thet day that you went crazy and began talking to yourself." A voice said interrupting her thoughts.

Syaoran:<voice> You never struck me as the Yugi Moto type.

 

Sakura:<voice> Oh, and watch out for snakes.


>She turned around part angry, part glad, and slightly distressed at seeing him. "Hi Draco…" she mumbled incoherently, "How are you? Where's your posse?"

Syaoran:<Malfoy> Out smashing windows and beating old ladies.Why?


>"Eating." He said simply then looked at her slightly concerned, "You feeling alright Tomoe?"
>
>She forced a smile through her gloominess, "I'm fine. Just fine…"

Kero: Nah. I can’t do that joke twice in one experiment.


>"Well that's the worst lie you've ever told. You'll have to tell me sometime or I'll just have to cast a Truth Charm on you." Draco said as he sat next to her.
>
>Hotaru sighed slightly, "Well…if you must know… evilforcesaregoingtoinvadeHogwartsandI'mgoingtohavetofightthemifIwanttoprotecteveryonehere

>andmyfriendsbackinTokyoaresayingthatthey'regoingtodragmebackovertheretoleavetheschoolbeforetheevilpeoplearrive." She said this terribly fast and it was hard >for Draco to really understand any of it.

Hermione: Nanami Kiryuu dialogue taken to the next level!


>He nodded not really understanding any of it, "Well…if you could repeat that slower I would actually be able to understand more then two words."

Sakura:<Hotaru> Sure, I’ll do that as soon as you get your homonyms straight.


>"…Draco…you wouldn't understand even if I did tell you much slower…you'd have to know my past and…everything. And I don't have the time or the will to tell >you about all of that. So all you have to know is…that I may have to go somewhere…sometime soon. I may or may not return depending on the mercy of my >friends." They sat in silence for a few seconds.

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Or depending on my mercy. I’m losing my patience and it may just be easier to gut them.


>"When is sometime soon?" Draco asked.
>
>"I don't know…two weeks from now. Maybe sooner."
>
>"The Christmas dance is in six days though."

Syaoran: It’s still September!!

 

Kero: Apparently October and November just kinda flew past.


>Hotaru shrugged slightly, "I don't care if I miss it or not. I have so many other things to worry about…the way things are going I wouldn't have been able to go >anyway…"
>
>He stayed silent a bit longer, "How long will you be gone?"
>
>"Oh…I don't know. It depends. Draco…you're my friend right?"

Hermione:<Hotaru> Please say no… Please say no…


>Draco blinked a little surprised, "What kind of question is that?"
>
>"…Just answer." She said with a glare that could paralyze a jellyfish.

Sakura: Umm… Okay.

 

Tomoyo: That was an odd analogy.


>"Well, sure I guess." He answered slightly confused, "Why ask that all of a sudden?"

Kero:<Hotaru> Just wanted to know if I could still ethically get away with pouring rubber cement in your underwear drawer.


>"I just wanted to know. Thank you Draco-kun, for everything if you've done to make my time here a lot more…interesting." She said finally with a smile. "I should >really be saying my goodbyes when I'm actually leaving, but I might not be able to when the time comes so…I'll see you in Flying class, alright?" Hotaru kissed >Draco's cheek lightly then walked from the bleachers on her way back to the cafeteria leaving a bewildered Draco behind.

Syaoran: He didn’t realize that Hotaru had given him the kiss of death.

 

Sakura: Wishful thinking, I’m afraid.


>"I saw that!!" Yume cried before Hotaru was even half-way to the cafeteria, "You and Draco are!

 

Hermione: Uh… Are what?

 

>You're going with him to the dance aren't you? Ugh! After all my warnings…"

Tomoyo:<Yume> Now I must shun you.

 

Kero: And that’s punishment how?


>"Yume. I'm not going to the dance. At all."
>
>"What?"


Sakura:<Yume> Speak up! My hearing aid is on the fritz!


>"I'll explain later. Class is starting." Hotaru said and pointed to where Madam Hooch was preparing to begin the flying lessons as she set the brooms on the >ground.
>
>Yume sighed, "Oh, fine…but if I find out you and Draco have a thing together, then I'll never forgive you…unless you give me a really big box full of chocolate >frogs."

Hermione: Nice to see Yume’s ethics can be easily compromised.

 

Sakura: Now we know how she ended up in Slytherin.


>Hotaru giggled a little and smiled at her friend sincerely, "You've been a great friend Yume..."

Sakura:<Hotaru> But I’m afraid you have to die now.


>"Been? Hey I'm not going anywhere anytime soon."

Tomoyo:<evil voice> That’s what *you* think.


>"…I might, but let's just hurry to our class…okay?"
>
>"…Right" Yume responded a bit confused but followed Hotaru to the middle of the field where children where already gathering nonetheless.
>

>~*~*~*~*~*~
 

Syaoran: All for skipping the end of chapter chatter?

 

All: AYE!

 

>Disclaimer: Hahaha, chapter eight, and flying lessons!!! So…I don't own anything but the story, go sue someone else!

Kero: So the ACCs are gone?


>Vale: *sniffle* Thank you Tenshi Megami for being ever loyal *cry* I feel so special. Even if it was just you reading the sequel and triquel I'd be happy enough >^_^ ;_; I feel so special. So. Special thanks to you TM!

Sakura: Tenshi Megami? Angel Goddess? Someone’s got a slight ego.

 

Hermione:<Tenshi Megami> Just call me Belldandy, babycakes!

 

Kero: I prefer the Koutetsu Tenshi myself.

 

Syaoran: You would.

 

Tomoyo:<Kurumi> Master!


>Arnvid: …How touching.
>
>Vale: Shut up! You're not special enough to have my Special thanks! You're just jealous!
>
>Arnvid: … ^^; baka

Hermione: Maybe we should’ve skipped this too.

 

Syaoran: Can’t win them all.

>HOTARU GOES TO HOGWARTS
>CHAPTER EIGHT
>BY:
>Vale (Saturn Angels)

Kero: And finally, Arithmancy!

 

Sakura:<Hotaru> Uh.. what’s this class about?

 

Tomoyo:<Prof. Vector> Damned if I know.

 

<Hermione scowls at them>


>Yume and Hotaru made it to the Quidditch field just in time. Madam Hooch stepped up to the middle of all of them, there were two lines on each side composed >of Slytherins and Gryffindors. ((Did I say it was going to be with someone else? Or did I never say? Oh well. It's Gryffindors now!))

Syaoran: I’d go back and check but I really don’t have the energy.


>"Welcome class. Today I will be teaching you how to do the," at this point she said a very long and strange word that Hotaru didn't understand,

 

Sakura: And apparently the author didn’t either.

 

Hermione: I wonder if this has anything to do with that wonky faint thing.

 

>"It will be a little advanced for all of you but nonetheless you will learn it. I have to go and see Dumbledore for a few minutes but you all will stay put. Now. Mount >your brooms and take your places," she said then blew her whistle.

Kero: So Hotaru’s first flying class and Hooch doesn’t know she’s never used a broom for anything besides sweeping? Riiiiiiiiight!


>Hotaru looked at Yume completely confused and desperate to know what she was talking about, "What places!?" she asked frantically.
>
>Yume sweatdropped, "You just fly up there!" she said pointing to some of the other students who were now waiting.

Syaoran: Of course! It’s so obvious!

 

Tomoyo:<Madison Taylor> What-EVER!


>"How?" Hotaru asked completely bewildered about how this worked, sure she had seen movies where witches flew past the moon, and E.T. where they made a >bicycle fly…but how was she supposed to do it?!

Sakura:<Hotaru> Uh… Hotaru phone home?

 

Hermione:<Hotaru> Could someone call Steven Speilberg for me?


>Yume sort of waved her hands around a bit trying to think of a quick explanation, "I should of explained earlier! Um…just get on your broom, and then kick off >the ground. Hold on tight and it comes…well naturally." Yume pushed off the ground and hovered in her place, "You see? Now I'll be up there waiting or Madam >Hooch will wonder what's going on, if you need help just ask her. I'm not the teacher! She is!" She said then took her place.

Kero:<Yume a la Dr. McCoy> Damn it, Hotaru, I’m an ACC, not a flight instructor!


>"Oh great. Leave me down here." Hotaru muttered sweat dropping as she mounted her broom,

 

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Thanks a lot, ya big load!

 

>"No problem…" she said nervously as she pushed off the ground. She was hovering about two feet off the ground almost getting the hang of it when she wavered >slightly, lost her balance, and fell face first onto the ground.
>
>Yume grimaced slightly and scratched her head, "…Well…she almost had it…"

All:<muted trumpet imitation> Wah-wah-wah-waaaaaaaaaah!


>Hotaru pulled herself up, her eyes for a brief couple of seconds looked like swirlies…She shook her head slightly and tried to ignore some of the other students >who were laughing at her. She blushed crimson from head to toe in embarrassment.

 

Hermione:<Hotaru> Now they’re going to have to DIE!

 

>She shut her eyes and tried again. She fell off even earlier this time making a cute little 'oof' when she hit the ground. Several more attempts ended in 'ouch' 'eh' >'ow' 'itai!' 'broomstick no baka!' 'tch' 'mm' 'ugh' 'owe' 'kuso!' 'dammit!' and a lot of laughter from the other students.

 

Syaoran: Although they wondered why the paint peeled off the broom when she called it Chibi-Usa.

 

Tomoyo: Isn’t it time we retired that joke?

 

Kero: No.

 

>Draco sweatdropped shaking his head feeling sorry for her, of course he would never tell anyone this since he was after all a Slytherin and really…popular for not >caring.

Sakura: And the fanfic was starting… to space out.


>"I'm gonna kill all those damn laughing hyenas! They're going to be sorry they ever laughed at my little Hotaru!! One slice from my saber they'll never laugh again!!"

 

Kero: Obi-Wan apparently didn’t teach her that Jedi discipline when she gave her that thing.

 

Sakura:<mystic> Use the force, Haruka…

 

>Haruka said from her place in the bleachers watching flying lessons while her parental instincts beat the crap out of her better judgments as she struggled against >Setsuna and Michiru's grip which were the only things holding her back from going onto the field, transforming, and getting rid of all those laughing idiots, >permanently. They had all gotten that period off.

Kero: And Yume was no doubt going to make a bad joke about it.

 

Tomoyo: I don’t think they meant it that way,


>"Haruka! Calm down! Not here!" Setsuna said while trying to pull Haruka away from the edge of the bleachers.
>
>If this were a manga there would have been flames around her and she would have been a giant chibi character, but she instead stayed normal…as she saw red >and tried to fight off Setsuna.

Kero: Hasn’t stopped her so far.


>"I'll give you a box of Berttie Bott's every flavor beans!" Michiru said as a last resort as they pulled with all their might trying to get Haruka to sit down.

Hermione: With new cyanide flavour!

 

Kero: Really…


>Haruka blinked and stopped moving so quickly that Setsuna and Michiru fell over onto their backsides a few feet away, since they had, had nothing to pull on, >"Really?" Haruka asked happily turning chibi sized with the triangular happy eyes: (ie: ^^).
>
>"Really…" mumbled Setsuna with a sweatdrop as the two took their regular seats again and watched as Hotaru tried to get onto the broom again.

Sakura: First Yume’s morals and now Haruka’s maternal instincts. Is there anything wizard candy can’t buy?

 

Syaoran: Yeah. A decent plot.


>"My brave little girl…" Finally after another fall Hotaru got up, her face reddened by: anger, embarrassment, and having fallen on it so many times, "Where is the >teacher!?" she finally shouted. That was of course when Madam Hooch decided to show up.
>
>"Why aren't you in your spot?" she asked in her teacher-strict voice.

Kero:<Madam Hooch> I’d like to get through this class without any real work, you know.

>"I don't understand the concept of flying," Hotaru said miserably as she faced the teacher.

Syaoran: She should ask Ator. He knows all about flying.


>"Ah…I see. You're that transfer student. The one who came late? Well then, I'll teach you quickly. All you other students do thirty laps around the field. Go."

Tomoyo: And has apparently only attended six classes in three months.


>The next thing Hotaru knew was that the students weren't there anymore, but she did see little flashes of color whizzing by.

Hermione:<Hotaru> Pretty…

 

Kero: Jubilee seems to have stumbled onto the wrong set.


>"Alright, first stay to the left of your broom. Place it on the ground. Yes, that's it. Now, hold your hand above it and shout 'up' until it flies into your hand." Hooch >instructed.

Sakura: Or she could just… y’know… pick it up.

 

Kero: Nah! Too easy.


>"Up." Hotaru said blinking slightly, nothing. "Up." She said sternly, nothing. "Up!" she cried, still nothing. "Up…" she said in a sugary-sweet voice. "Up! Ue ni!(up)" >she said finally using Japanese. The broom practically jumped into her hand.

Hermione:<looking at the broom closely> Ah! Made in Japan!


>"Good. Now, mount your broom and kick off the ground lightly. Hover for a moment before taking off."
>
>She did as was told and actually managed to stay on the broom.
>
>"Good.
You just started off on the wrong foot…"

Sakura:<Madam Hooch> You were supposed to use your right foot for that kick-off, not the left one.


>After about a minute of exercises on the broom Hooch was proud to say that Hotaru was an extremely good flier and wanted her to try out for the Quidditch >team, which Hotaru agreed to.

Tomoyo: They must be desperate for new players.

 

Hermione: Well, after the whole Cedric Diggory thing a lot of them bailed out.


>In a few seconds all of the other students returned and watched Hotaru expectantly, amused, and other things.

Kero: Like revolted and sickened.


>Hotaru mounted her broom easily and gracefully, like a cat would jump from the floor to the couch in one swift movement to get what it wanted. She kicked off >the ground and in what seemed like one movement found the perfect place in the air. Some of the Slytherins stuck their noses up at her but a lot of the Gryffindors >and some Slytherins-including Yume-applauded.

Syaoran: So… The Slytherins are obnoxious even to each other? No wonder nobody likes them.


>Yume grinned like the Cheshire Cat in
Alice in Wonderland at her,

 

Sakura: Just before Miyuki-chan fell out of the sky and landed on her.

 

Kero:<Cheshire Cat from “American McGee’s Alice”> When is a broomstick like a billy club?

 

>"Well, that much improvement in about two minutes, you must be a quick learner. So after this you're going to try out for the team, kick Draco out of his spot and >win the games for us!" she said still grinning and gave Hotaru a high-five.

Tomoyo: I think that if Slytherin’s streak began again, the other three houses would gang up and beat the living daylights out of Hotaru, death senshi or not.

 

Syaoran: You had seven years of glory to yourselves, give someone else a chance, okay?


>Hotaru sweatdropped slightly, "I don't think I'm good enough to do that yet…If I apply I'd most likely get…chaser. Or beater or something. I'm not good enough >to be a seeker yet…"

Hermione: She’s not good enough to be the water boy yet.


>Yume shrugged and Madam Hooch's yell interrupted them.

Tomoyo:<Madam Hooch> STEEEEELLLLLAAAAA!!!


>"Everyone, be quiet!" silence filled the Quidditch field and she continued, "Now. I want you all to go up a bit higher, when I tell you to, you're going to learn how >to dive quicker, better, and more graceful. Are you listening?" everyone replied in unison, "Yes, Madam Hooch."

All: No, Madam Hooch. Right away, Madam Hooch.


>"Good, now…what you're going to do is lean totally onto your broom, keep your chin and face up. Your chest will not, I repeat will NOT touch the broomstick. >Your chest should be at least two and a half inches from the broomstick. Loosen your arms, tighten your grip, move your legs around a bit until your feet rest on >the broomstick while still being in a normal straddling position. Understood?" before any of the students replied 'yes, Madam Hooch' she blew her whistle and >shouted, "Go!"

Syaoran: Thunderbirds are GO!


>At this point the children flew higher then stopped and tried to get into the position Madam Hooch had talked about.
>
>Yume grunted some, "Lean in, chest doesn't touch broomstick, check. Two and a half inches, check. Loosened arms, check. Tightened grip, double check. Feet >rest on broomstick while still sitting normally." She moved around a bit trying to get into position but ended up almost falling off though she only went underneath it >making it look like she was upside down…because she was.

Sakura:<Hotaru> Look at me! I’m Lionel Ritchie!


>Hotaru sweatdropped, she had gotten the hang of the position pretty easily. The only problem was that in that position she was a bit wobbly and had to fight to >keep her balance.

Kero: She’s gotta stop drinking before class.


>"That move is dangerous you know. I say they fire that instructor!" Haruka yelled angrily then popped another jellybean into her mouth, she immediately grinned, >"Cotton candy!"

Hermione: And I suppose they should replace her with another senshi, hm? Well, no offense, *Haruka*, but maybe if you had reminded Madam Hooch that Hotaru had never flown before she wouldn’t be doing it. So you can take those beans and shove them up your-

 

Sakura: Whoa, Hermione!

 

Hermione: I’m sick of these idiot cheerleaders telling *us* about how to teach sorcery.


>Once many of the students had gotten into position, a very shaky position mind you, Madam Hooch blew her whistle signaling them to dive one after the other.

Syaoran: Hell’s Kitchen, Five Points…

 

Sakura: Better remind them to steer clear of Daniel Day-Lewis.


>Next was Hotaru's turn, she learned a bit about diving when Madam Hooch taught her some tricks, but this was…this was really high.

Kero:<Hotaru> WhoooAhhh! I’m trippiiiiiiing!!!

 

Sakura: Kero…


>"What if she falls??" Michiru asked worriedly as she looked at Hotaru through omnioculars, which she had bought in Diagon Alley…secretly of course or Haruka >would want some of her own.

Tomoyo: Michiru is such a killjoy.

 

Hermione:<Michiru> None of the outer senshi are allowed to have any fum but ME, dammit!


>"Fall?" Haruka asked looking up from the box of Every Flavored Beans, "Ah! What are they doing!? Hotaru can't do that!!! She hasn't been flying but ten minutes >and they expect her to dive like that!? I'm gonna go and teach that damned fool of an instructor a lesson, and believe me. It'll be showing her how to fly without a >broomstick…to the moon!" at this point Haruka left her seat in one leap and again Michiru and Setsuna had to hold her back from attacking.

Sakura:<Madam Hooch> Oh? What’re you going to do? Turn Chibi and whine me to death?

 

Tomoyo: Ouch!


>Hotaru's turn. Yume gave her thumbs up and Hotaru took the dive. She had almost made it home safe when her communicator began beeping. She looked at the >pocket that was inside her robe, where she kept her communicator-which Haruka had dubbed the "watch thing"- and that was when the dive went…a bit too low. >She crashed into the ground, though she was lucky she had noticed the ground and had tried pulling up instead of going headfirst. So her wound wasn't as bad as it >could be, in fact the only damage it did, because of her sitting position, was badly scraped knees. Actually…they were very badly scraped knees. Hotaru winced >in pain and Madam Hooch ran over to her.

All: D’oh!

 

Kero: Leave it to Usagi to call at the absolute worst time.

 

Syaoran: Amazing she can hear that thing when it’s in another dimension.

 

Sakura: So… They make a big deal of sending her a letter about the last call to make sure no one notices, but now they feel free to just call out of the blue?


>"Stay still, I'll take you to the hospital wing to get that healed…" Madam Hooch said as she was about to pick Hotaru up.
>
>Hotaru shook her head, "No…need to," she said then brought her left hand to hover over her left knee and her right hand to hover above her right knee. The >students watched her curiously, some looked at her as if she were stupid.

 

Kero:<student> Why is she doing tai-chi on herself? That won’t work

 

>Suddenly, to everyone's shock, her hands seemed to glow purple and within seconds her knees weren't scraped at all. They looked, perfectly normal. Almost >everyone seemed to gasp in unison as whispers began to spread like wildfire. Everywhere she looked there were people with their eyes widened in astonishment, >some in fear. Draco and Yume…well they just looked plain out confused.

Hermione: My God! Mysterious powers! Gasp! Amazement!


>(A/N: Healing does not drain Hotaru anymore because Mistress 9 is no longer possessing her, k? It's my fic so there.)

Syaoran:<author> Bite me!


>"You see! You see! Flying is a dangerous sport! That teachers sucks!" Haruka said fuming, "At least Hotaru knows how to heal herself-wait a second! Hotaru just >healed herself!" she said a little surprised as realization struck her hard.

Tomoyo: Well, you’re obviously not the brightest bulb in the chandelier either, Haruka.

 

Kero: For someone who drives so fast, her mind can be pretty sloooow.


>"Yes, Haruka. Hotaru healed herself," Setsuna said with a raised eyebrow, "You did know she could do that didn't you?"
>
>"Well, yeah! But the other little kids aren't supposed to know that!!"

Sakura: Ummm… Why not?

 

Hermione: Yeah. Hotaru should have just kept on bleeding!

 

Syaoran: Haruka is a strange one.


>"They'd think it was magic most likely…" Michiru said with a slight shrug.
>
>"Yeah, they would if she had brought out her wand when she did that. But she didn't! So they know it was something else!"

Kero: Such as…?

 

Tomoyo: The power of spam? How would I know?


>"Maybe she used her wand and we don't know it." Michiru said with a small shrug.
>
>"Use the replay button on your binocular things!" Haruka said with a slight glower as she pointed at Michiru's 'binoculars'.

Syaoran:<Brian Williams> All riiight. Let’s go to the replay.


>"Er…what binoculars? I have no binoculars…" Michiru said as she hid the omnioculars behind her back.

Hermione:<Michiru> These aren’t the droids you’re looking for…


>"Yes you do!" Haruka said a bit angrily.

Sakura:<Haruka> These ARE the droids I’m looking for!


>"Oh fine, I do. But why would binoculars have a replay button on them?" Michiru said hoping Haruka wasn't going to say what she thought she was going to say.
>
>"Well yours do. I saw it. Bright and clear, a little sticker type thing that said 'REPLAY' on it. So give me those and I'll see it on replay and zoom in more!"
>
>Michiru sighed sulkily and handed over the omnioculars.

Kero: Well, you were using them right in front of her, what did you expect?


>Haruka did what she said she was going to do then put her hands on her hip,

 

Tomoyo: She only has one?

 

>"You see. She didn't use her wand. Now everyone is going to know that there is something weird about her."
>
>Hotaru got up from her place on the grass and acted as if nothing was wrong, and as if nothing had happened.

Syaoran: She’s in denial.

 

Hermione: I know *I’ll* sure act like none of this fanfic happened.


>~*After class*~
>
>"I knew there was something strange about her…" Hermione said quietly as she, Harry, and Ron walked passed Hotaru who had her head lowered.

Syaoran: Leave the irony to us, okay, fanfic?


>Harry shrugged slightly, "Well I don't think it's that strange that people can heal themselves. I mean she could have used a special charm or something."
>
>"Harry," Hermione said shaking her head slightly, "She hasn't been to a Charms lesson yet and this is her first year here."

Hermione: OKAY! THAT DOES IT!

 

Tomoyo: Hermione?

 

Hermione: If she hasn’t been to a Charms lesson *or* a flying lesson then it is *definitely* not December and the Yule Ball is still months away. So either this timeline is completely screwed up or Hotaru is the school’s biggest slacker, in which case the whole lot of them should be hurled off the grounds immediately!

 

<Hermione finishes her rant and pauses to catch her breath>

 

Sakura: Feel better?

 

Hermione: Not quite…


>"Well, maybe she learned something in her other school." Ron suggested.

Syaoran: Maybe she got her hands on some of that medicine Megumi Takani makes. I’ve heard it works wonders.

 

Tomoyo:<Megumi Takani> I’m more than just a pretty face! Ohhohohohohohoho! <fox ears pop out of the top of Tomoyo’s head>


>"…You bring a good point Ron, surprisingly, but if she had learned from another school and it was a charm then she would've needed to use her wand. And >everyone saw that both of her hands were empty."

Hermione: It’s obvious! Hotaru is really Wolverine’s kid sister!

 

Sakura: Does that mean her glaive is made of adamantium?


>This signified the end of the discussion and they continued walking back to the Gryffindor Common Room.
>
>"Hotaru!
Hey! What was with that purple glowy thing? And where'd your cuts go?" Yume asked extremely bewildered as she ran to catch up with her friend.

Kero: Wha--? Were Yume and Hotaru right behind Harry and the others or did we miss a jump cut here?


>Hotaru bit her bottom lip, she had realized a bit too late that she had forgotten to take out her wand or to go to the nurse instead of healing herself in front of >everyone, "Well…you see…it's like…well…hey isn't that Ron over there?"

Syaoran: Oh, please. Who’s going to fall for that?


>"Where?!" Yume asked suddenly as she began smoothing down her hair and looking around. By the time she turned around again Hotaru was already inside the >building running to the Slytherin Common Room.

Sakura: Apparently, Yume will.


>Yume puffed up her cheeks in an annoyed fashion and began walking to the Slytherin Common Room, figuring Hotaru wasn't going to be going anywhere else.

All:<sniggers>

 

Hermione:<Yume a la Jigglypuff> PUFF!


>Hotaru sighed slightly as she said the password to the painting, which was Silverflight, and walked into the common room. The fire was lit already and Hotaru sat >on the big leather couch trying to relax for a little less then an hour and a half before she had to go to Astronomy… or Stargazing. Something along those lines.

 

Tomoyo: She was going to look at all those scene changes from fanfics past.

 

Sakura: Whoa! She’ll be there a while.

 

>She stared into the fire and was extremely deep in thought therefore she was a bit surprised when someone cleared their throat behind the couch. Hotaru jumped >slightly and turned to face whoever it was; it was Crabbe, Goyle, and Draco, "…Er…yes?" Hotaru asked a bit confused as to why they wanted to talk to her-well >she actually knew it was most likely about what happened on the Quidditch field.

Hermione:<Hotaru> Maybe I’d better hit him over the head with a brick and make a run for it.


>"What was with that stunt you pulled, Tomoe?" Draco asked looking at her questioningly but still with that look that held…authority.

Syaoran:<Draco a la Chazz Palminteri> Who’s Kaizer Soze?!


>"I have no clue what you're talking about, Draco-kun," Hotaru said innocently.
>
>"Tomoe, I have the right to know what you did, or can do. Everyone saw how badly you cut your knees and then suddenly there's a purple glow and you're >healed."

Kero:<Hotaru> Since when do I answer to you, freak show?


>"Please tell your little group to leave, their presence is becoming quite annoying as all they do is stand there quietly nodding in agreement to anything you say."

Hermione: Those are actually life size versions of those little nodding ornaments you put in your car.


>Draco waved his hand and the duo left, though a bit reluctantly, "now will you tell me what that was? Are you some evil entity or something? A ghost? A sideshow >freak?"

Syaoran: Yeah. He’s not asking for trouble with this kind of talk.


>That last part of course hurt her slightly and of course made her very angry. And no one ever wants to have the senshi of death and destruction, also known as the >warrior of ruin, angry with you. That is a very bad experience.

 

Kero: That’s like calling the ocean slightly damp.

 

>Unfortunately for Draco, he learned the hard way.

Hermione: Yeah! Go, Hotaru-chan! Ice the bastard!


>Quicker then you can say 'Bilbo the hobbit' Hotaru had her glaive out, Draco was pushed against the wall, and Hotaru's glaive was pointed at his jaw line as she >stood more to the left of him then right in front of him, "One foul move and I would be able to have the choice of slitting your throat or cutting your head off."

Sakura: Or both!

 

Kero: Even better!

 

Syaoran: Did this author go to writing school with Lionel Dark or something?


>Draco gulped slightly, "You wouldn't kill me Tomoe…you don't have it in you to kill a person."

Tomoyo: Yeah. Her and Soujiro Seta.


>"Oh, don't I?!" she asked loudly as she pressed the glaive against his flesh, not hard enough to cut him though, "How do you know that I haven't killed anyone >before?" she asked even louder her eyes looking at him fiercely, Saturn taking most control. Her eyes almost seemed empty and this of course began to frighten >Draco and he began to wonder if she really would kill him.

Hermione: She did. It took Filch twelve hours to scrub away the mess. The End.

 

Kero:<Filch> How did his liver end up here?

 

Sakura: Ick!


>He was taken completely by surprise at her response and the way her eyes looked that he dared not to even swallow afraid that with the glaive that close to >cutting him that any small movement could injure him, "Wha? What's gotten into you Tomoe? Snap out of it!"

Kero: SNAP!

 

Syaoran:<Draco> ARGHHH! My spine!


>"Tomoe? That weakling? You think it's her who's controlling this power? Hah, I think not. She wouldn't hurt a fly unless she was cornered and had no other >choice. She likes you, you know. Therefore she has a weakness Draco, a weakness I intend to get rid of. She's screaming at me right now, telling me to stop…I >haven't fought in a long time Draco…I've become bloodthirsty in my long days of silence…"

Sakura: Well, dealing with the collected whining of Yume and all the other senshi, I can see why,

 

Kero: Hotaru is starting to sound dangerously like Cletus Casssidy here.

 

Tomoyo:<Hotaru a la Hajime Saito> Aku. Soku. Zan.


>By this time Draco was praying for someone to help him, or for Hotaru to go back to normal.

 

Syaoran: Yeah. Being threatened with decapitation via a giant bottle opener can be unnerving.

 

>Either would be fine, "W-Who are you?" he asked confused.

Sakura:<Hotaru> I am the guardian of the hell.

 

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> I’m BATMAN!

 

Hermione:<Hotaru>  I’m Frank Sinatra. Who the hell are you?


>"The warrior of ruin. Soldier of death and destruction. Hotaru has many secrets you know…many, many secrets…do you know how old she is?" Saturn asked for >fun before she killed him.

Kero: You know, you shouldn’t ask a girl her age.

 

Syaoran: That depends on if we’re still set in sixth year or fifth or whatever.


>"16?" he said confused, at least that's how old everyone thought she was.

Sakura: Wasn’t this a scene in “Rurouni Kenshin”?

 

Tomoyo:<Kaoru Kamiya> What do you mean Kenshin is twenty-eight?!


>Saturn began to laugh long and cold which made the glaive move uncomfortably on Draco's neck drawing a drop of blood then quite suddenly without warning she >stopped laughing and became serious and scary again, "If you added it all together…let's see how old little Hotaru would be…how old I am. Let's >see…1000…plus another 1000 plus 12…plus 14…plus 16 and your answer would be…2042 years old. Give or take another hundred years."

Syaoran:<Indiana Jones> It’s not the years, it’s the mileage


>"That's impossible!"

All:<hum the *original* Mission: Impossible theme>

 

Kero:<Peter Graves> Your mission, should you choose to accept it…


>"You don't even know half of our history, our story!

 

All: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

Sakura: This fanfic is just never going to END!

 

>You don't even understand what impossible is! Do you know what it's like living in solitude for 1000 years ruling a planet that hates you!?"

 

Tomoyo: If she was living in solitude, how could she be hated?

 

Hermione: Well, after the first couple of centuries she realized it was easier to rule with everyone dead.

 

>she screamed her eyes actually filling with tears whether from anger or from sadness, or both, Draco couldn't really tell, "Do you know what it's like living another >1000 years fighting for and with people who detested you and your power!? Do you know what it was like dying for a queen and her people who didn't CARE >about you?

 

Kero: What is she? One of the X-Men?

 

Sakura:<Hotaru> Do you know what it’s like to be captured by Sentinels and held in Genosha?

 

>Do you know what it was like being possessed for nine years by an evil entity prolonging your life?

 

Tomoyo:<Regan MacNeil> Yeah. They’re still cleaning the green stuff off the walls of my room.

 

>What it was like for Hotaru, not even knowing she was possessed and having a father who was possessed!

 

Hermione: They got the discount group possession rate.

 

>Do you know what it was like being FORCED to EAT your best friend's soul!? (heart crystal) Do you!? Do you understand anything!?

 

Syaoran: I was more surprised that Chibi-Usa had a soul to eat.

 

Sakura: Ouch!

 

Kero:<Hotaru> And she still LIVED! Can’t ANYTHING KILL HER?!

 

>Being reborn to a father, who after recovering from his possession had amnesia!? Being killed by your own MOTHER!?

 

Syaoran: No. But I’ve heard a lot on the subject from Asuka.

 

>Do you even think you know anything about Hotaru!?" After a lot more ranting and raving she finally began to calm down and became emotionless again, "After >being put through so much…after experiencing so much…after killing so many…I finally decided…to stop caring…"

Tomoyo: Ah! Mass murderer’s dissonance kicks in.


>Draco was extremely confused by all of this yet was hopeful that after her strange outburst that she would forget about killing him. How wrong he was.

Hermione: Woo-hoo! Killin’ time!

 

<The others sweatdrop>


>She took a deep breath to steady herself and smiled mock sweetly at Draco, "Now. Time for you to die…" she gripped her glaive tighter and Draco shut his eyes >preparing for the blow, yet before Saturn had time to do anything he heard a strange beeping sound and the pressure of the weapon no longer at his neck.

Hermione: Damn! Usagi *always* calls at the worst time!

 

Sakura: Yeah. Thanks for screwing up our fun, Usagi.


>He grabbed his neck inspecting it to be sure there were no severe cuts and to make sure he was still alive. He opened his eyes to see what had happened to >Hotaru…or whoever it was. He saw Hotaru standing casually her weapon put away talking to something on her wrist.

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Dick Tracy here.


>"Saturn reporting." Saturn said in monotone.
>
>Makoto: Saturn!?


Kero:<Makoto> She’s a different kind of car company!


>(in bg) All: Saturn??
>
>Draco listened staying silently.

Syaoran: Ummm… Huh?


>Usagi: Saturn! What are you doing over there? …You're not transformed? Well…how are you Saturn…you didn't kill anybody did you!?

Kero:<Hotaru> Just a few random civilians. No one important.


>"I was about to. But you rudely interrupted me, princess," Saturn replied a bit coldly.

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Do it again and you’ll find yourself following in Marie Antoinette’s shoes, princess.


>(in bg) Ami: Oh no…
>
>"What did you contact me for, inners?" Saturn asked choosing to ignore the comments in the background.

Sakura:<Hotaru> Oh, and thank you *so* much for calling me during flying class and almost getting me killed.


>Usagi: Well I want to speak to Hotaru.
>
>Saturn stayed silent.
>
>Usagi: That's an order Saturn.

Hermione:<Hotaru> You want fries with that?


>Saturn grimaced and looked over at Draco who immediately froze, "You got lucky." She muttered then immediately her eyes turned back to normal and she >practically fell down on the floor, Draco rushed over to her asking if she was alright, "I'm fine Draco." Hotaru said holding her head slightly, "Yes, Usagi-hime?"
>
>Usagi: …Hey…who's-

Kero:<Usagi> --writing this stupid plot?


>Minako's face suddenly replaced Usagi's
>
>Minako: Is he your boyfriend?? ^^

All: NO!

 

Syaoran: For crying out loud, she was about to kill someone!


>Hotaru blushed slightly and decided not to answer, "Minako put Usagi back on."
>
>Minako: Oh! It's undecided eh? Well the soldier of love and beauty…and the newly added matchmaking, can settle that! Do you like him?? ^^

Tomoyo: She was going to *kill* him!! What do you think, you blonde dip?!


>"Well Saturn did just try to kill him, which I still have to apologize for, and well that may just put a little end to our friendship. Which is nothing more then that! >Now put Usagi-hime back on."

Hermione:<Hotaru> I’m going to need to rest. I haven’t recovered my grammatical skills yet.


>Minako: Oh fine!
>
>(>in bg) Chibiusa: Let me talk to her! Let me talk to her! Lemme talk to her! Please! Please! Please!

All: No! NO! NOOO!!!


>(in bg) Usagi: Fine, but make it quick we have important matters to discuss with her.
>
>Chibiusa: HI HOTARU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

Sakura:<Hotaru a la Agent 006> Why can’t you just be a good spore and DIE?!


>Hotaru rubbed her ears slightly and smiled, "You do know I can hear perfectly over here without you yelling…"
>
>Chibiusa: Sorry. So you have a boyfriend? Let me see! Let me see! Is he in the same room with you? Let him say hi!

Syaoran: Quit whining, you obnoxious little fungus!!

 

Sakura: Someone get the Tilex mildew spray.


>Hotaru sweatdropped, "he's not my boyfriend-"
>
>Chibiusa: Is he cute?

Hermione: Compared to what?


>"What!??"
>
>Chibiusa: Do you think he's cute?
>
>"Well…"

Sakura:<Hotaru> In that slimy, serpentine, snake oil salesman kind of way… No.


>Chibiusa: *yells to others* Yup, she likes him!
>
>(in bg) Minako: I knew it!

Kero: Oh, for… She was just about to give him the Marie Antoinette haircut, for crying out loud! If Usagi had called a minute later they’d be scrubbing his entrails off the floor!

 

Hermione:<pouts> I know. Don’t remind me.


>(in bg) Usagi: Okay Chibiusa, time's up. I need to talk to Hotaru now.
>
>Chibiusa: …oh fine!
>
>Usagi: Hotaru, sorry about calling you at this time.
Is anyone in the same room with you?

Sakura: Well, seeing as there had to be someone there for her to kill, I’d say “yes”.


>"Yes…"
>
>Usagi: …well this is private so can you go anywhere alone??

Tomoyo: Maybe you should have thought of that *before* you called, dimwit.


>"…Well most of the students are everywhere right now…so…this'll have to do."
>
>(in bg) Rei: Fine! But if he hears and says anything questioning you just threaten to set Saturn loose on him!
>
>Usagi: Rei! Geez. So, we'll just speak in Japanese then. Hotaru have you made your decision?

Syaoran: I thought she told them off last time.

 

Hermione:<Hotaru> No, Usagi. I’m not joining your pyramid scheme.


>"I already said I was going to stay here!"
>
>Usagi: …Demmo (but) Hotaru-chan! Listen…youma have started appearing back in
Tokyo.

 

Kero: You make it sound like they ever stopped.

 

>Two evil things are where you are! We can't leave Tokyo!

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Thank God! I can finally count on some time away from you weenies.


>"And I refuse to leave here."
>
>Usagi: Hotaru! Don't make this harder for yourself.

Sakura:<Usagi> And by yourself, I mean me.

 

Syaoran: If they can’t leave Tokyo, how can they force her to come back?

 

Hermione:<Usagi> If you don’t come back, we’ll be forced to shun you.

 

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Is that a promise?


>"You have all of the inner senshi and Chibiusa and Tuxedo Kamen over there! You defeat the youma! Michiru, Haruka, Setsuna, and I will stay here and protect >the school!"

 

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Besides, the thought of going back and working with you scares me *way* more than whatever’s been skulking around here.

>Usagi: But Hotaru! This is serious! These are very strong youma!!! We need the outers help to keep
Tokyo safe!

Hermione: Oh, boo-hoo. So Tokyo gets blown up one more time. It’s not like it hasn’t happened a couple of dozen times before.

 

Sakura: If Sailor Jupiter could K.O. Godzilla without help, the seven of you should be able to handle another round of cannon fodder.

 

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Call the frickin’ Sailor Stars! I’m busy, dammit!


>"Usagi-hime…I know my duty as a senshi is to protect you…but…I can't leave this place…end of discussion hime." Hotaru closed her watch and turned to face >Draco who was merely staring at her.

Sakura:<Hotaru> Well, now to unfinished business.


>"Hotaru…you're…I…what…who are you?" he asked completely bewildered. Before all of this he thought he knew that Hotaru was just a normal 16 year old in >Slytherin…but now…now he didn't know what to think. She was 2042? The warrior of ruin? Ruler of a planet? Had a split personality named who called herself >Saturn and was emotionless? Who killed many? Who tried to kill him? It was too much all at once and he didn't really understand who she was anymore.

Kero: This is the part where his head explodes, right?

 

Syaoran: Wishful thinking.


>Hotaru looked at him sadly, "It would be impossible for me to explain everything to you…and I apologize the way that …I…acted. I'm truly very sorry…but I >couldn't control myself…did I say…anything that seemed strange to you…when I was like that?"
>
>"A lot of things actually…"

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Well… I guess I really *do* have to kill you now.


>"Well try and remember them and I'll try to explain as much as I can." She said sitting on the couch, he sat down on the couch as well and tried to remember one >of the things she had said.
>
>"She said you were…2042 years old…"

Kero:<Draco> But you don’t look a day over 620.

 

Hermione:<Hotaru> Flatterer!


>Hotaru gave a long sigh, "Well we're going to miss Star-gazing or whatever it's called anyway…I might as well tell you. I am…a sailor senshi."
>
>At the blank look he gave her she went on, "You did your research on the Gates of Time? Guarded by Sailor Pluto?"

Sakura:<Hotaru> You know, Sailor Mickey’s pet dog.


>He nodded slightly.
>
>"I am Sailor Saturn. Our group consists of Sailor Moon, our leader,

 

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> God knows why…

 

>Sailor Venus, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, Sailor Pluto, Sailor Chibi-Moon,

 

Syaoran: Sailor Sleepy, Sailor Dopey, Sailor Doc, Sailor Grumpy, Sailor Sneezy…

 

>Tuxedo Mask, and myself. Sailor Saturn. We fight together to protect Tokyo, and the royal family- Sailor Moon; Sailor Chibi-Moon, her daughter; and Tuxedo >Mask, her husband. There was a time that you might've read about while researching the Gates of Time, called the Silver Millennium. There was a great palace on >the moon and in it lived Queen Serenity, and her daughter. The inner senshi- Mars, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter protected them. The outers - Uranus, Neptune, >and myself had our own palaces on our own planets and ruled them while keeping youma, enemies, from reaching the palace.

 

Kero:<Hotaru> We had some mixed success with that, obviously.

 

>Everyone was immortal…though we could die.

 

Hermione: Then you weren’t really immortal, were you?

 

Sakura: Great. I’m having “Highlander” flashbacks here and they are *not* pleasant.

 

>I was 1000 years old when the Moon Kingdom was attacked I was killed and was reborn a thousand years later on earth without memories of my past life. I died >when I was…three or four in a lab explosion…then was possessed by an evil entity who made a deal with my father who wanted to keep me alive at any cost. I >grew to about age 12 before I killed Mistress 9, the entity, and was reborn once more. I grew to around 14 and gave my life to kill Queen Nepherenia. And now >here I am 16 years old. So if you add all of that up it's 2042… anything else?"

Kero: Yeah. Since when do 1000, 12, 14 and 16 come to 2042?

 

Syaoran: Since now, I guess.


>"That…explains a lot. Though I don't know if I really…believe all of it." Draco said nodding, "Oh…she said something about you well…it's really absurd but she >said something about you liking me? About me being your weakness or something?"

Tomoyo:<Hotaru> Oh, she’s always telling lies like that.


>Hotaru blushed lightly and lowered her head, "Er…well…yeah. I'm really exhausted after all that's happened today. Good night Draco-kun." She said this quickly, >yet slow enough that Draco could understand, and ran to the girl's dormitories.

Kero:<Hotaru> Thank God *that’s* over!


>Draco blinked slightly and walked to the boy's dormitories not bothering to show up late for Astronomy deciding it was best just to go and sleep, >'Today…was…very confusing.' He thought right before he fell asleep.

Syaoran: That’s putting it mildly.


>~*~*~*~*~

Sakura: And with that, we call it quits. What did you think, guys?

 

Syaoran: Well, the fanfic started out well enough. It had an idea and it even managed to avoid a lot of clichés, such as having Hotaru put in Slytherin instead of Gryffindor. But there’s waaaaaaay too much padding here. Too many scenes of stuff from the original material, Hotaru’s song was beyond gratuitous and too much senshi and too little Hogwarts. If you’re going to write a crossover, include the other characters. The outers all take up so much space that there doesn’t seem to be any real point.

 

Tomoyo: The ACCs were surprising tolerable for a change, although Yume/Dream had several scenes where she tried to run the show and Marissa drops crucial plot information so loudly it clangs. Also there is much OOCness about the ranks of the senshi. Haruka’s chibi act wasn’t bad, but Michiru comes off as way too obnoxious. The inner senshi are even worse. They come off as I-know-what’s-best-for-you-so-do-it-now. It would have been better to just cut them out all together.

 

Kero: There were some bright spots, such as Hotaru almost knocking off Malfoy, but on the whole this fanfic’s biggest problem was the seriously screwed up timeline. First it’s fifth year, then fourth, then sixth. And to top it off, not even a week of classes have gone by and it’s already supposed to be the Yule Ball? What was up with *that*?

 

Hermione: I just want to go home.

 

**

            “I wonder how they plan to get Hermione out of here without letting any of the rest of us go?” Tomoyo wondered aloud as they exited the theater,

            “I don’t care as long as they do it,” Hermione grumbled.

            Kero shrugged. “Well, if they don’t, you’ll be stuck up here with us for a while.”

            “Dear God NO!” Hermione screamed. “Uh… No offense to any of you guys, of course, but I don’t think I could take much more of these so-called experiments.”

            Suddenly, there was a flash of light and a loud pop and Hermione had disappeared. Once everyone’s eyes had readjusted, they stared blankly at the empty space where Hermione had just been. It was only when the console light flashed that the group was snapped out of their state.

            “What was that?!” asked Syaoran.

            “I don’t know,” Sakura replied. “But Utena Tenjou is calling.” She leaned over and gave the button a smack.

DEEP 13

 

 

            “So, who’s this Pegasus guy Eriol had to see so urgently?” Spinel Sun asked.

            Ruby Moon shrugged. “Search me. He muttered something about cards and ‘Magic: The Gathering’ but that’s about it.” It was then that Ruby Moon noticed Sakura and the others. “Ah! You’re out of the theater. And it looks like our Clow card sent Miss Granger back where she belongs.”

            “Clow card?” Sakura scratched her kawaii little head.

            “We were saving it for next week,” Spinel explained. “But given the situation we had to use it. It’s one of Eriol’s, The Dues Ex Machina card.”

            Sakura,, Syaoran and Tomoyo facefaulted.

            “Could someone help me over here?!” called a vaguely familiar voice. The familiar glasses-wearing Keitaro clone, CardCaptor Schlueter wandered into the lab carrying a comatose and somewhat familiar looking girl in his arms.

            “Oh, hi, boss!” Ruby Moon said cheerfully. “Um… Who’s that?”

            “I don’t know,” Schlueter replied. “I went for a walk this afternoon and found her lying on the sidewalk. I think she fainted or something.”

            “Isn’t that Aeris?” Spinel inquired.

            “I don’t think so,” Schlueter replied.

Ruby Moon reached into the girl’s jacket pocket and pulled out a student ID. “According to this her name is… Mutsumi Otohime?!”

“Eh?!” Spinel stared. Meanwhile, the girl in question sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes and readjusting her glasses before looking around the room. It was only a moment before she saw someone she recognized (or at least thought she did).

“Kei-kun!” Mutsumi shouted cheerfully as she glomped onto Schlueter.

“Huh?! Hey! Wait a second!” Schlueter called out frantically as his tried to escape Mutsumi’s grip. “I’m not--mpph-rmph-mphrr…” He was abruptly cut off as Mutsumi’s lips covered his own.

“Would it be best not to mention the obvious fanboyness of this scenario?” Spinel asked, looking away from the college student still struggling to escape.

“Probably,” Ruby Moon replied. “Got to admit… The girl’s got good glomping form.” With that, Ruby Moon leaned over the control panel and gave the button a tap.

 

           

THE REAL END OF SEASON THREE

            (But Sakura Kinomoto and the MSTers will return…)

 

(Feel free to hum ‘Catch You, Catch Me’ as the credits roll.)

 

Whew! I thought I’d *never* finish this one. When I started I was going to MST a couple of chapters and now this has become my longest MSTing yet. (My Word page count for all three parts tops 150). I’d like to thank Saturn Angels for giving me permission to write this MSTing and for being such a good sport about the whole thing.

 

And, yes, I know that last scene was *very* self-indulgent fanboy behavior, but I recently acquired a Kaiyodo figure of Mutsumi and I couldn’t resist.

 

While I was struggling with this last section I more or less finished Episode 31, so be one the lookout for it soon. And Season four will see a new face on the SOL. I *do* still have some tricks up my sleeves. ^-^

 

By the way, I want everyone out there with a love of MSTings to head to Aeoruuk’s Yu-Gi-Oh Science Theater 3000, our official sister site at:

http://www.yugiohscitheater.com/ Aeoruuk was the one who wrote the original MSTing of “A Dream Come True” and graciously donated it to CCST3K and there are already two great episode of YGOST3K on the site, so be sure to check it out, kay.^-^

 

Until next season…
