Lita's Bad Luck

"What's up, you guys?" asked Lita, as she met up with her friends after school. "Hi!" exclaimed Mina, Serena, & Raye in unison, as they walked along the sidewalk. "Why did you guys leave me at school?" she said, out of breath. “Well we had to get going. We need to study for tomorrow, remember?" Amy replied. “Not only that we've got a surprise for you...." Serena said in her sneakiest voice. "Oh no...You're bearing gifts...What have you done this time?” "We all came up with this idea..." Raye said to get Serena off the hook. "And you'll find out in a little bit!” Mina added. "Now I'm scared..."

"Now close your eyes..." they told Lita. Mina & Amy went in first. Serena held the door & Raye led Lita in. They were in the Crown Game Arcade. "Ok. Open your eyes!" Raye exclaimed excitedly. Lita opened them & as soon as she did, she got the biggest surprise of her life…

“Happy Birthday!” they all yelled, when she got in the arcade. “Oh Ma Gosh! I had forgotten it was my birthday! You guys shouldn’t have wasted your money on this!” “Hey, your our friend…” Mina explained. “Yeah. It was no problem, whatsoever!” added Raye. Lita walked around the arcade to see who all her guest were… She saw Andrew, Greg, Darien, & a whole bunch of other people she knew… even some she didn’t!

Ken was there too. She hadn’t seen Ken in a while… The whole party was unbelievable. There were so many people she hadn’t seen in so long! It brought back so many memories. So many… She shook herself out of daydreaming when she realized she was. No use in dwelling on the past. The past had already happened.

At the party, she ate cake & ice cream & had the best time she could. She knew what would come afterward… She would have to say goodbye to all her old friends that she might not see for a while. Then, they would go back to Amy’s place & study for exams tomorrow. But, then again, that would be just fine as long as she passed exams. Surprisingly, that was her main focus right now. Exams. Passing exams. That was it.

She slept over at Amy’s house. That night she had something on her mind. Something that would not go away… Ken. Ken was on her mind. She didn’t know why, but ever since she saw him at the party… Well, Ken stayed on her mind all night long, even after she fell asleep.

Lita woke up on her own account the next morning. Not having but about 4 hours of sleep that night & 5 hours of sleep the previous night. It was almost 6:00 AM. She tried to use what little time she had to get some more rest, but it didn’t work so she decided to just get up.

That morning, she ate a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Amy’s mom had offered to fix a big breakfast, but Lita knew Amy’s mom had been at work all night. Lita had heard her come in at about 1:00 AM that morning & she was leaving at 8:00 AM. Lita had always thought Amy’s mother should give her more attention, but Amy didn’t seem to mind much. If it didn’t bother Amy, then it shouldn’t bother her either.

They set off for school at a slow pace. Not even Amy was hurrying to get to school. She was going faster than everyone else. But still not hurrying… Lita was going the slowest, because of her lack of sleep. A couple times she almost fell asleep. Just then, Amara, Michelle, & Trista came by in their car. They stopped beside Lita & since she was so far behind the others, they asked if she wanted a ride. Lita was skeptical at first, but finally agreed. After all, she wasn’t fully awake…

“So what’s up? Why are you so tired?” Amara asked. “It’s not exactly like you…” Michelle added. Lita didn’t want to have to say anything before she got to school, but she didn’t see any other choice… “Well, we have exams today & I couldn’t get to sleep last night…” She waved as she passed her friends by. “I stayed at Amy’s house last night,” she added after they passed her friends.

“Up there is my school…” Lita said, when they arrived. “I guess I’ll see you later. Bye…” “See ya,” they yelled after her. She went inside the schoolhouse, went to her classroom, & sat down. She was the fifth person in her class to arrive at school. She hoped her friends would arrive soon… She didn’t like being in the school without someone she knew. Molly had met up with her friends, along with Melvin & a bunch of other people. She was only 5 minutes early… They should be here any moment…

(Three minutes later…) “That’s it… I’ve got to go get them!” She snuck out of the classroom & then out of school, only to find her friends walking separately from each other. She said hey to them all, but no one answered. She mumbled a couple words & went back into school after them.

Certain people were scheduled to take the exams at different times. Lita was scheduled to take the first part right after lunch. Serena had it first thing this morning & Amy had it right after Lita… She would probably see both of them sometime today.

Sure enough, at lunch she saw them both… They weren’t sitting together. She couldn’t decide who to sit with so she chose a neutral spot in between them & hoped neither would get upset that she didn’t sit with them…

(Meanwhile on the planet Jupiter…)
“Come children! Hurry!” said Queen Jupiter. “Yes, mother…” they called back, unenthusiastically. “First of all, happy birthday…” “Our birthday was yesterday…” they replied. Their mother always forgot their birthday. They had given up long ago that she would remember. “Oh well… I’ll remember it next year!” she said in return to the looks she got from her children. “What did you call us for?” asked Prince Sebastian. “I was sleeping…” added Princess Roxanne. “You’re not the only one… “ continued Prince Harvey. Princess Kerry was waiting in front of her brothers & her sister, for she was the only one of them who never spoke ill of their mother. She didn’t dare stand up to her brothers or her sister though; they could beat her up without even breaking a sweat & her mother wouldn’t care less. Her mother didn’t care about anything any of them did. They always got in fights at school. Well, Roxanne, Harvey, & Sebastian did; she just stayed away from everyone. Kerry was forever trying to impress her mother, but it never worked. At that moment, Queen Jupiter broke into her thoughts… “I have another mission for you…” “But, we just got home,” complained Roxanne. “Ok. Fine. Roxanna, if you don’t go your grounded!” the queen threatened. “My name isn’t Roxanna. It’s Roxanne,” she yelled, “You never forgot Lita’s name…” “How dare you mention Lita… You know I miss her. That reminds me, did any of those kids you brought in fit Lita’s description?” “No… They all know something about her though. I can tell.” Sebastian told her.

(Back on the Earth…)
Lita lay asleep after a long day at school…She was dreaming a very scary dream…
She saw seven figures; four of the shadowy figures had hair much like hers, the other three appeared to be boys “Lita! No don’t go!” “I have to… I have to help protect the Moon Kingdom… & my friends… Not you, or any of my brothers or sisters can stop me!” “No! What if something happens to you… I may not ever see you again… You’re not going!” “Me & Ken are both going & you’re not stopping us…” the shadowy figure that looked the most like her & one of the guy-figures then left the other five figures there, crying. Then, there was a big boom & they cried harder. All of a sudden, as if it was timed, Lita woke up. When she woke up, she was sweaty all over. She got up & fixed herself a glass of water. She couldn’t afford to lose anymore sleep. So she decided that as soon as she calmed down she would call her friend that she has always been able to talk to… Oh wait. That was Serena. Ok then she would call Ken. She had always been able to talk to him too.

Ken woke up about the same time. Having the same dream as Lita. He rushed over to Lita’s house as soon as he woke up. That was the only true friend he had. He also had a crush on her. He just didn’t know it yet. It was the same way with her. She had always liked him but she just gave up, because he was just her friend & she didn’t want to mess up their friendship.

“Lita!” Ken yelled, when he arrived at Lita’s apartment. Lita opened the door shocked about being called upon at this time of night & that the caller was Ken, the very person she had planned to call. “Hi Ken,” she said, as she opened the door, “Come in.” Ken stepped inside the apartment & begin to explain his dream. Lita sat down on her couch & listened, amazed at what she was hearing. Half way through the explanation of his dream, Lita burst in, “I had the same dream!” She told him the rest of the dream to prove she had had the same one.

“Wow… That’s amazing!” he said when she finished. “That’s exactly how it went!” “I… think it… means something…” Lita added to Ken’s words. Ken gasped & exclaimed “You were the girl in my dream & that was me with you! But…” “Who was everyone else?” Lita finished. “I don’t know. That’s the only part I don’t get…” “Well aren’t you lucky? I don’t get half of it!” Ken said.

They talked all night long about the dream & who the other people could be. “Ken… Can I tell you something?” Lita asked as they sat on the couch drinking lemonade. “Lita, you know you can tell me anything, anytime.” Ken replied, to this sudden question. “Well… I really don’t know how to say it… but… have you ever heard of the Sailor Scouts or Sailor Jupiter?” she asked. “ Yeah. Sailor Jupiter saved me one time. I never got to thank her, though. But what does that have to do with me or you?” replied Ken as he got up to pour him some more lemonade. “Well let me just say… You’re welcome.”

“You’ll have to kind more kids then,” said the queen. “How about that boy? Did any of them fit his description?” Sebastian started, “Well, one boy resembles what Ken should look like…” “Good!” “… & he seems to know about the Sailor Scouts…” “Very good, Sebastian! How wonderful it is to have such smart children!” Queen Jupiter went on. “Whatever…” said Sebastian, getting a little embarrassed. The children went back up to their room. “Very good, Sabby!” Roxanne mocked. “Oh yes, Sebastian, you did a wonderful job!” added Harvey. “Why I outta…” Sebastian started. “Stop acting so immature you guys…” Kerry said as quietly as she could. “You don’t want mother in here.” “Miss Drama Queen’s right for once…” said Roxanne. “Now, Roxanne. Don’t be mean. She is Mama’s favorite after all,” started Harvey. “Stop it!” Sebastian cut off, “Kerry’s a better person than you’ll ever be!”

“Lita… Do you mean that you’re…” Ken began. “Yeah. I’m Sailor Jupiter,” she replied, knowing what he was going to say. I’m Sailor Jupiter. The words rang in her mind. Did she do the right thing? Should she have told him? “Wow, I can’t believe it. You’re the one who saved my life!”

Lita broke herself out of the trance. “Is it really that hard to believe?” she asked, giving him a look of disbelief. They both laughed at these words. After they finished laughing, they started on a totally different subject & both forgot about Sailor Jupiter.

The next day, Lita saw Amara on the way to school. She said that Trista & Michelle didn’t feel well so she was going to school by herself on her motorcycle. After school, she said she would pick up Lita. “I have to take my bike to the shop, but then we can walk to my house & you can stay if you want. I need help taking care of Michelle & Trista anyway,” Amara teased. “OK. Of course I’ll help.” Lita replied. “No. That’s ok. I was just kidding… “ “No… I insist.” “Well. If you’re sure… You’d better get to school. Your friends will probably worry about you.” “Yeah.” Lita agreed only because she didn’t want to have to explain her life to Amara. “You’re probably right. Bye!” “Bye!” Amara yelled back. “See ya!” Lita yelled to her. Then, Lita turned & walked into her classroom.

Lita’s day at school went very slow. No one said a word to her the whole day. After school, Amara met her when she came out of the school. “Have a good day?” she asked. “It was ok. I guess,” Lita replied. Lita hopped on the back of Amara’s motorcycle & prepared herself for the worst. As they were going along, Lita noticed something different. Instead of the normal crowds of people, she saw people walking by themselves. No one she knew walked by themselves on the way home from school unless something was wrong or all their friends were sick. There’s Molly. Serena’s not sick. Why is Molly walking alone?

“Harvey, come here,” the queen yelled. “Yes, mother,” he replied, when he got down to his mother. “You’re next to go on a mission. Tomorrow morning you will go to Earth & go back to the street Sebastian, captured those kids on & remember, you’re looking for your sister. I’ll be looking for you back tomorrow night. That will be all.” “Whatever,” he replied & he went back up to his room.

When Lita & Amara arrived at the garage, Amara conversed with the mechanic & Lita waited outside the door. Lita wasn’t trying to be anti-social, but she wasn’t really in the mood to talk. She stood there dazed for what seemed like an eternity; actually it was only a couple of minutes. Amara came out of the garage & only said two words, “Let’s go.” Lita thought she looked aggravated, but Amara usually looked like that. Not that she was usually aggravated. She was actually a pretty easy-going person. Lita had never heard Amara complain. Of course she wasn’t around Amara much…

Ken’s day was pretty normal, except instead of just thinking about Lita’s beautiful hair & eyes, he also thought about what she had said. “I’m Sailor Jupiter…” Those words continually echoed in his head throughout the day. He turned on the radio. It was on a country station. The song was “I Miss My Friend” by Darryl Worley. He had heard the song once or twice. He didn’t know much of it. He liked rock music a lot better. Lita liked any kind of music. She had her favorites of course. But as long as it was music she loved it & this was one of her favorites…

Lita had to run to keep up with Amara. Amara was just not herself today… She was acting strangely. Something must be wrong Lita thought. “Amara!” she called. “What’s wrong? You seem upset…” “Nothing’s wrong!” Amara turned around & yelled back ferociously. “Why do you have to be so nosy?” Lita started, “I’m sorry… I didn’t think you would mind…” “No, you’re right. I shouldn’t have been so mean about it… I’m sorry…” sighed Amara. “It’s ok. But what happened back there that upset you so much?” Lita asked. “Well…”
