NeoConstellation: New Beginnings
Episode II: Who would've thought?
================================
Tori was either one of two things: scared or surprised. 
	However, she was not completely sure which.
	"White star?" Lola tilted her head to one side.
	The teacher's head snapped toward her.
	"Oh, God..." Tori muttered, looking around for a place to hide
 and transform. 
	"Um, she isn't!" Tori called, like an idiot. "I am! See? This
 is it... disguised. Yeah. I didn't want you to find me, but you did! 
So... yeah."

		EPISODE TWO: WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT?
_______________________________________________________________________

"Really?" The teacher's head suddenly turned toward Tori and she 
snapped her fingers. Soon, only Tori and Lola were left conscious.
 A strange whitish glow that was bordered by golden light surrounded 
the bodies of the unconscious students. "I serve the White Stars, and
 I'm taking the pure energy out of these people right now!" Tori 
surveyed the room. Good enough chances. She stood up, taking care not
 to step on anything, or anyone.
	"Pegasus Millennium Heart, Make-up!"
	A flash of light, and Sailor Pegasus stood were Tori had been. 
Lola fell out of her desk.
	"In the name of the pure and infinite future, I am Sailor 
Pegasus, the soldier of infinite destiny! On behalf of the quintessence
 of infinity and the heart of opportunity, I shall make sure no harm
 comes to the generations of the present, the past, and most 
importantly the future! In the name of the heavens called the night 
sky, I shall banish the evil from your body!"
	Lola stared, open-mouthed, at her new friend who was not 
entirely normal.
	"Nice speech. I don't have time for you, annoyance."
 The woman spat.
	"Fine then. Are you looking for her?" Pegasus said,
 gesturing to Lola. 
	The woman nodded. "That's her- give her to me!"
	"I don't think so." Pegasus said. "She's my friend, and she 
doesn't go if she doesn't want to, and I think..." she tossed a glance
 over her shoulder, "...that she doesn't want to. Am I correct?"
Lola nodded, silently.
	"Then I'll have to take her by force!" Said the woman, 
bringing up her hand so that a small white energy ball formed in it. 
	"Fine!" Shouted Pegasus. Bringing her hands together, 
she shouted "Prayer Kiss!" and brought them up and around to shoot 
a bright gold pressure force at the woman The energy ball was knocked
 into the desk, and the desk burnt down to dust. 
	"What?" Demanded the woman.
	"This won't hurt a bit." Promised Pegasus as she untwisted 
her hands. "Millennium Healing!" 
	As soon as the purple light from the Millennium Heart faded,
 a small white star came out of the woman's chest, where her heart 
should be, and crashed onto the floor, shattering into pieces. 
The woman collapsed, unconscious. 
	Lola looked at the lady, and then back at Pegasus, who
had turned back into Tori. "Was that... real? What do we do now?"
	"Right now? We play dead."
	As far as anybody who came into the room knew, 
they were unconscious like the rest of the class.



	"Tori?"
	"Yes?"
	"What was that all about, anyway?"
	"Err..." Tori looked down and used her shoe to scuff at the 
dirt. "Well, I really don't know what it was about. I mean, I'm kind 
of new at this... well, not really. But I don't know who they are." 
	---After school has got to be the worst time to talk about 
this. ---
	"Who are 'they'? I mean, tell me what you know. Am I gonna die?" Lola, who was now scared out of her mind, asked.
	"Not if I can help it. Besides, I don't think they're looking
 to kill you anyway, princess." Tori muttered.
	"Princess?"	
	Tori looked toward her. She looked scared, helpless, and more
 than a little bit confused. "Sorry, but that's your title. Are you 
sure you don't know anything about them?"
	Lola nodded. "So I'm a... princess?" 
	It was Tori's turn to nod. "Come to think of it, do other 
princesses call princesses princesses, or what? My mother never called me that, but then again my mother could do whatever she wants and none of my friends called me that..."
	"You're a princess? Too, I mean?"
	Tori nodded. "Princess of the heavenly night Sky. The 
Constellations. Yeah."
	"So whose your prince?"
	"His name's Shelby." Tori blushed. "But he's not really a
 prince."
	"Then what is he?"
	"You ask too many questions. He's a Guardian, capital 'g'.
 He's the Guardian of Energy. It's a long story." She sighed.
	"So what do I do now?" Lola asked. 
	"Go home. And call me if there's any trouble. Where do you 
live?"
	"Oh," She responded, "the second house over on Day Street,
 near the apartment complex around the corner. Know it?"
	Tori nodded. "I live in apartment 507."
	

	
	Leo sighed from across the room. Shelby leaned back against the
 wall, not looking like he was having any amount of fun. That was a 
pretty good sign that something not to pleasant has happening with the
 amount of energy surrounding Pegasus. Gemini sat on the floor and 
looked across the room at the now fuming Cassiopeia. 
	It was kind of hard to believe that they had all been
 successfully crammed into one room. Not to mention that the few
 Zodiacal senshi were in there too. Aries, Pisces, and Aquarius were 
all huddled in one corner, and Scorpio was curled up asleep, 
back-to-back with Draco. 
	---That's cute.--
	He yawned. 


	Tori walked home silently and pondered what was going on. 
She came up with 5 points:
1)	There is an undoubtable threat to human life.
2)	She was going to have to work full-time as a bodyguard.
3)	She didn't have any help.
4)	The White Star(s) were trouble.
5)	Lola had no clue what was going on. Or, if she did, she was
 doing a pretty good job of hiding it. 
Normally, Tori would be really stressed out, but now the world just 
seemed more confusing that it did yesterday. Wait- the world wasn't 
confusing yesterday... Sailor Pegasus didn't exist yesterday.
	She shrugged and unlocked the apartment door.

Today, we learned that my new friend Lola is actually who the 
White Stars are looking for! How very --exciting--! Because now 
I have to play full-time guardian, and my vacation is OVER!!!

Did you know that some one dollar bills have holes punched in them? 
Some have '20' written on them.
Some have both, and some have other things written on them.
Isn't this a crime?
