Sounds like fun! *-*-*-*-*-*- CHAPTER FIVE *-*-*-*-*-*- ********** Amy ********** "You're L. A. Robertson? The L. A. Robertson?" Amy said, staring at Robert in disbelief. Nodding, he walked over to the window. Turning and facing Amy, he said, "I wanted people to take it seriously. Amy, you were Maris. If you became queen, you would have been Maris VI." Thinking of her vision, she asked, "Who was Alan?" "Honestly, I know very little about him. He was the youngest son of Queen Brenna V and her husband. He was a member of his sister's court... If I remember correctly, he wooed Maris even though she was his brother's betrothed." Robert said, finishing the last bit by rubbing his forehead. Looking, and feeling, wounded, Amy said softly, "I'll call you in a few days." She didn't see him sneak up behind her. She turned and he brought his lips down on hers. "Please, don't shut me out, Amy." Robert pleaded softly. 'Last time I couldn't help you until it was too late.' Feeling herself drown in his eyes, Amy said, "I'll try not to." Then he left and was out the door. Sitting by herself for a few moments, Amy decided to call Mina. "Hi, Mina? Would you like to go get a bite to eat? Yes...he just left here. Is everyone a mind-reader now?!" ********** "Amy! How are you?" the blonde squealed. Mina Venus was one of the up-and-coming Hollywood stars. In her last two movies alone, she won three Oscars and two Toriyamas, the Japanese equivalent. "It seems that Robert has left his mark. You're blushing." Mina said, with a slightly demonic twinkle in her eyes. Practically whispering, Amy answered, "He's left his mark alright." Wrapping her arms around Amy, Mina exclaimed, "I knew it! I just knew it!" Hugging Mina back, Amy casually asked, "How's your boyfriend?" Smiling, Mina answered, "I dumped him. Hi Andrew!" Clasping his hand to his heart, Andrew dramatically said, "Can it be? Mina Venus and Amy Mercury? Bless my stars, I might just faint." "Cut the crap Drew. I'm sure they..." Robert stopped short when he realized who he was talking to. "Amy..." 'It's not polite to stare.' her subconscious kicked her. 'Whoa! There are some major sparks here. Maybe the goddess of love could help...' Mina thought to herself, smiling. Pulling herself together, Amy said, "Robert, this is Mina Venus. Mina this is Robert Life." His eyes focused on Amy; he shook Mina's hand. "Pleased to meet you Miss Venus. I can honestly say I adore your movies." Lowering his voice, he said, "Sailor V was made for you." Blushing, Mina simply said, "I know." Turning to the redhead, Mina asked, "Do you mind if he joins us?" "No not at all." Amy replied, surprised at the twinge of jealousy she felt. ********** Throughout the entire meal, Amy felt like she was biting her lip to keep from saying, "Leave him alone! He's mine!" Every time she looked at him, she swore Robert had a twinkle in his eyes. Damn him! Damn Mina too for that matter! "Excuse me, I have to use the ladies room." Mina stood up and left them alone. The moment she left, Robert put his arm around Amy. Pulling her close he whispered, "Seeing you twice in one day, must be fate." Snorting, Amy replied, "That or I have some karma to make up for." Pulling her close, Robert said, "I just can't bring myself to think so." Sealing their lips together, this was the first time they really acknowledged that they were seeing each other. A symphony was being created, and would have been longer, except for an incessant beeping noise. Groaning, Amy pulled out her cell phone and said, "Mercury here. I see... be there in a sec." Closing it, she turned to Robert and said, "Sorry, but Mina and I have to go. Bye." She pecked him on the cheek and flew out the door. ********** "Damn it! Why couldn't they just stay away?!" Eternal Sailor Jupiter bellowed as she dodged a bolt of lightning. "I knew things were being too quiet." Eternal Sailor Uranus replied. "Space Sword Blaster!" The shadow-like creature growled, "That won't hurt me!" He sent of a bolt of lightning toward Jupiter and Uranus. "Wait a sec... Wait a sec... There! Aim for its knees Venus!" Eternal Sailor Mercury cried. "Alright! Venus Love Me Chain Encircle!" A chain of golden hearts circled around the creature's knees, pulling its legs out from under it. "Now Sailor Moon!" The collective group cried. "Moon Starlight Therapy Kiss!" The creature was turned to dust. Sifting through the pile of ashes, Mercury found an aqua rose. Closing her fingers around it, she had another flash of vision. One of Alan flicking his wrist and making an aqua rose appear. Simple really. "Hello? Earth to Amy?" Amy looked up and saw Mina waving a hand in front of her face. "When did I power down?" Amy asked with bewilderment in her voice. "When you touched the rose. Serena had to pry it out of your hand." Slinging an arm around Amy's shoulders, Mina said, "Now, tell me about what's going on with you and Robert." ********** Robert ********** Pulling off his mask, Robert blew a shaky sigh of relief. The minute Amy touched his rose, he remembered the exact scene she saw. He had almost forgotten the first time he gave her a rose. Gazing at himself in a full-length mirror, Robert slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know how Endymion can do it." He was wearing an aqua tuxedo, much like Tuxedo Mask's, and holding a light blue mask. Silently, he willed himself out of his transformation and was soon standing in his jeans and sweatshirt. Slowly moving over to his keyboard, Robert opened a document called "Memories and visions." Slowly he typed the events happening in the vision and of the circumstances they happened in. Slowly he thought back to the monster they fought. It had the insignia of something, but it wasn't a black moon or star... it was a black bindi-like thing. "Shit. I guess Greg was right." ********** Standing over Greg's grave, Robert tried to channel his energy for what he was going to do next. 'Sorry Greg, but I have to do this.' Placing his hands over the moist earth, Robert slowly chanted the incantations he had learned years ago. Opening pupil-less eyes, Robert saw a vision of what happened to Greg in his final hours. A shadow-like creature was devouring him, when, to Robert's surprise, he pulled out an aqua rose. 'So he knew of his heritage.' Several images flew through Greg's mind as he was dying. One was of Robert and Greg playing outside. When he first met Amy, the way she looked to him reminded him of someone he knew. The last was a vision of his unborn child and the hazy image of a wedding. Pulling back Robert softly swore as he felt a hand on his shoulder. If it was who he thought it was, she would have seen everything. Slowly turning, he softly said, "You weren't meant to see this." "I know, but I finally needed to say goodbye." Tears flew down her cheeks. It had taken all of her courage to come down here and now... Her insides turned to jelly as Robert looked at her. Spying something bright in the ground, Amy asked, "Who brought the rose?" Looking at the one thing that linked him to Amy beside their ever- growing relationship, Robert answered, "I did, I have a garden just for these." He silently added, 'They're just for you. They always have been only for you.' Dropping her bouquet, Amy crawled into Robert's arms and asked, "Do you think he saw this? How close we'd become in the short amount of time we've known each other?" Breathing in the scent of her hair, Robert answered, "I think so. He'd never let me meet you until he... passed." Robert shrugged and pulled her closer. He never intended to let her go. Not now, not ever again. God help him, but he loved her so much. "Robert, I..." Amy started, but couldn't finish when Robert's kiss cut her off. Soon her thoughts were lost as Robert's lips hungrily moved over hers, soon moving to her closed eyelids and cheeks. He could move her in so many ways, that she lost herself in him. Sensing Amy's surrender to the moment, Robert finally touched her with his hands. She had no idea what she was doing to him; it was simply madness. The sounds coming from her throat told him she was enjoying this s much as he was. If they didn't stop soon... "Oh, Alan!" Amy cried out when her mouth was finally free. "Maris! Please let me..." Robert whimpered as he pulled her on top of him, kissing her over and over again. 'Please let her remember.' He silently prayed. "Maris, can we go somewhere more comfortable," Asked eyes heavy with promise, "and finish what was started?" "I'll follow you to the ends of Mercury, Alan." Amy said as she followed him. ********** Robert woke up and shook his head, trying to clear the cobwebs. 'What happened to me? How did I end up here?' Thinking back to the night before, he softly swore. They had come so close to... to cementing their union. About five minutes after Robert and Amy found a comfortable, and more suitable, spot for their activities, he realized that she was confusing him with her vision. Slamming a fist into his pillow, Robert remembered how sweet, warm, and passionate she was. Heading toward the bathroom, Robert stopped in mid-stride and went to answer his door. Most of the time his precognition only showed him the past. Every once and a while, the present, but mainly the past. Peering into the peephole, Robert groaned. Couldn't Michelle have waited a few more hours? Opening the door, Robert said, "What's up?" Nervously chewing on her lip, Michelle asked, "Can I come in?" Standing aside, Robert ushered her into his kitchen. He knew she always felt better there. "What's the problem?" Glancing from Robert's face to his wrist, she said, "Conjure a rose. I need to see the color." Flicking his wrist hard, an aqua rose appeared in his right hand. "What's the point?" Looking Robert straight in the eye, she stated, "You were at the battle yesterday. You should disguise your roses better." Grinning, Robert said, "They're a distinctive color, aren't they? In a few days, Endymion's roses will change color." "His name is Darien in this time," Michelle said with a playful smile on her lips. "So, Uranus will finally lay claim on him?" "Yes. Darien and..." Robert broke off. "Serena," Michelle supplied. "Their colors will change. They have a beautiful daughter." Robert said. "I thought you couldn't see into the future." Michelle said, puzzled. "I can't. That happened in the past. About seven years ago..." Robert said with a slightly demonic smile. Glaring at him, Michelle said, "Quit probing my mind!" "But you made it so easy." Robert said with a chuckle as she tried to hit him.
