"Hey, look at this you, guys!" Usagi said as she motioned
to a poster on the wall, "the theater is hosting a talent show."
"That's my ticket to becoming a star!" Minako shouted
joyfully as she ran in the direction of the theater. Usagi and
the others followed, hoping to catch up.
Hikari came out of Juuban High School and eyed the poster.
"What are you looking at, Hikari-chan?" Arekku's voice broke Hikari's
train of thought.
"A poster for a talent show at theater. Would you like to sing
with me, Arekku-chan?"
"Yeah, it would be fun to sing with you again."
"I think I'll call them and tell them I want to sign up."
___________________________________________________________________________
"There is going to be a talent show at the theater. One of the
judges is Futoparra Ooraka, a very big donator to charity. Someone with
that amount of love in her heart must have the soulkey of light. I'll take
it and be the greatest in Emperor Cepheus's kingdom!" Draco said to himself.
_____________________________________________________________________________
"Hikari-chan, do you know who the enemy is after?" Demeter asked.
"They are after the soulkeys of light and darkness. The Key of
Darkness will open the paradox fully and allow it to pour into our universe.
The Key of Light has the power to defeat the darkness and seal the paradox.
They wish to destroy and prevent that from happening."
"Do you know who posesses it?"
"No, I wish I did though."
"Hey, Hikari-chan, keep the noise level down, some of us are trying
to get some sleep." Mamoru said as he walked into Hikari's room. "Were you
talking on the phone?" Mamoru stammered.
"Um, yes.. I was talking on the phone. One of my old friends..um..
at the the orphanage." Hikari managed to spit out.
"Uh, okay. Get to bed you've got a big day tomorrow." Mamoru said
as he closed the door to Hikari's room.
"That was close." Hikari said as she turned off her light.
_____________________________________________________________________________
"Miss Chiba, wait Miss Chiba!"
"Yes, Miss Futoparra, what is it?" Hikari asked.
"I just wanted to tell you that I can't wait for you to sing." The
bubbly red-haired woman replied, "You have a beautiful voice."
"Have you heard me before Miss Futopara?" Hikari questioned.
"Yes I went to your orphanage's concert a few years ago. You had a
solo and your voice touched my heart. I donated much of my estate to your
orphanage and now am headmistress of it." she replied. SHe then turned to
take her seat in the judges panel as she wished Hikari good luck.
"Hey Hikari-san! I didn't know you were here!" A voice shouted as
Hikari made her way backstage. A blonde mass of hair nearly side-swiped her.
"Oh, hello Minako-san. I didn't know you were here." Hikari said with
a surprised look, "Are you helping backstage?"
"Are you kidding? I want to be a star! Guess what I heard. I heard
that there are talent agents out in the audience. That makes me so nervous."
"Hikari-chan, we're up soon so you better get dressed." Arekku
shouted to Hikari. "Oh hi Miss Aino."
"Minako, please." Minako replied. "Good Luck Hikari-chan!"
"Luckers to you too Minako-chan." Hiakri replied as she headed toward
the dressing room.
______________________________________________________________________________
"Our next act tonight is a couple who are certainly angelic. Please
put your hands together for Chiba Hikari and Hiroshiba Arekku!" The annoucer's
voice boomed over the loud speaker.
"I didn't know Hikari and Arekku where in the talent show." Rei
whispered to Usagi.
The curtain silently shuffled to the sides. Arekku stood in a black
tuxedo. Hikari stood opposite of him in a ball gown of sapphire blue. The music
began.
Arekku:If I never knew you, If I never felt this love, I would have no
inkling of, How precious life can be. And if I never held you, I would never
have a clue, How at last I'd find in you, The missing part of me. In this
world so full of fear, Full of rage and lies, I can see the truth so clear,
In your eyes, So dry your eyes. And I'm so grateful to you, I'd have lived
my whole life through, Lost forever, If I never knew you.
Hikari: If I never knew you, I'd be safe but half as real, Never knowing I
could feel, A love so strong and true. I'm so grateful to you, I'd have
lived my whole life through, Lost forever, If I never knew you.
Arekku: I thought our love would be so beautiful,
Hikari: Somehow we made the whole world bright
Both: I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong, All they'd leave
us where these whispers in the night, But still my heart is singing, We were
right.
Hikari: If I never knew you, If I never knew this love, I would have no
inkling of, How precious life can be.
Arekku: There's no moment I regret, Since the moment that we met, If our time
has gone too fast, I've lived at last...
Both: I thought our love would be so beautiful, Somehow we'd make the whole
world bright.
Hikari: I thought our love would be so beautiful, We'd turn the darkness
into light.
Both: And still my heart is singing, We were right,
Arekku: We were right, And If I never knew you, I'd have lived my whole life
through.
Hikari: Empty as the sky....
Both: Never knowing why....Lost forever....If I never knew you.......
When they finished, they bowed once and walked off stage. Minako
became really nervous after she had heard Hikari sing. "She's really good,
isn't she, Artemis?"
"Yes. It's funny but she reminds of a princess from long ago."
Artemis replied.
"Really?" Minako asked, "Who?"
"A princess whose powers came from music and nature. Before I
became an advisor to Serenity, I was visiting Earth. I was attacked and
very badly beaten.
"Why were you beaten Artemis?"
"Because the Moon and the Earth were at war and I was thought to be a
spy. This Earth princess found and healed me using her voice. She was
only five or six at the time and I never found out who she was. But
her voice was angelic and sounded much like Hikari-san's."
"Miss Aino, you're up next,." A stage manager shouted.
____________________________________________________________________________
"Usagi-chan, wake-up!" Rei shouted in Usagi's ear, "Minako-chan is
up next." Usagi wuold have flown out of the chair had Mamoru not laid is arm
across her chair to prevent her from flying forward. Minako walked to the
center of the stage and waited for her music to begin.
'What? this isn't my music.'Minako thought to herself.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, May I have your attention please? I, Draco of
the Paradox, wil perform for your enjoyment, a trick known only to the
gifted, the removal of a soulkey." A puff of smoke revealed Draco.
"Come on you guys, we gotta transform!" Makoto said as they ran out
of the auditorium.
"Robina, please select a volunteer from the audience."
"Sure, boss." The robin-like youma said, "Ah, your heart outshines
the sun and it will be a pleasure to see your soulkey." the youma picked up
Miss Futoparra and brought her onstage. The youma placed what appeared to be
a small lock just below her neck. Miss Futopara screamed in agony as her
soulkey came out through the lock.
"Drat! Not another failure!"
"Earth Harmony Rose Blast!" Millions of blue notes and yellow rose
petals hit Draco causing him to lose balance. "How dare you interrupt this
show for the gifted. Many people have worked hard to make this show a
success, not to be ruined by you!"
"Oh, quit your whining, Sailor Brat!" Draco began, "I'm the one
who's hurt."
" I am the Soldier of Remembrance. I guard memories and protect
music."
"Do we have to go through this every single time we meet?" Draco
interrupted, "I know, I know, you're Sailor Earth and in the name of the
Earth, you'll punish me." Draco finished sarcasticly. Starlight Knight was
about to start his speech when Draco began again, "And you're Starlight
Knight, loyal companion to Sailor Earth and protector of Earth and the
Stars. God, you'reboth so annoying. I don't need to deal with this now.
I've got other problems. Robina take care f them." Draco then front-flipped
into his hole.
"Mars Flame Sniper!" An arrow of fire hit the youma. The inner
senshi stood on the opposite side of the stage.
"Now, Sailor Moon!" Starlight Knight yelled.
"Right Silver Crystal Power Kiss!" The youma then turned back into
a figurine.

Minako had just finished her song and recieved a standing ovation.
"Well, that was our last act for tonight. Have the Judges made their
decision?"
"Yes, we have." Miss Futoparra said as she walked on stage. "First
place goes to Chiba Hikari and Hiroshiba Arekku.. Second Place goes to Aino
Minako. And third prize goes to Senritsuno Kihaku. Congratulations!"
to a poster on the wall, "the theater is hosting a talent show."
