     1.4 +                   The Dark Rainbow Crystal Chapter Three
     1.5 +                          by Black Rose
     1.6 +
     1.7 +  Serena stared out the window watching the rainfall, as long as it
     1.8 +wasn't thundering; it was one of her favorite thing to do. She turned
     1.9 +her head to see her husband reading at his desk. They were in their
    1.10 +study. The room had a big window that looked out the backyard. The
    1.11 +room had high shelves stacked with many books. 
    1.12 +He glanced up and smiled at her, she smiled back.
    1.13 + She walked over to her desk and sat down.
    1.14 +"Darien, are Trista and Hotaru going to stop in today?"
    1.15 +"Yes, around ten." His wife looked at the clock that read nine-forty-
    1.16 +five.
    1.17 +"I hope Hotaru is alright, she's been taking this blindness really
    1.18 +well," she though while looking over some papers.
    1.19 +
    1.20 + In one of the gardens, Hotaru was standing in the rain with one of
    1.21 +her mother; who is working on planting some carnations. "Mother that
    1.22 +smells really sweet," she said while holding the blossoms in her
    1.23 +hands.
    1.24 +"I know and this rain is helping them get healthy and strong,"
    1.25 +Michelle replied.
    1.26 +"Hotaru, it's time to go talk to the Queen and King," someone yelled
    1.27 +form behind.
    1.28 +She turned when she heard Trista call her name.
    1.29 +"Coming!"
    1.30 +Michelle gazed up at her, "Go on, I can finish up here."
    1.31 +"Thanks Michiru-mama." Her daughter said while getting her talking
    1.32 +cane and slowly she started to step to the door.
    1.33 +As the two started to walk to the Queen and King were talking about
    1.34 +different things.
    1.35 +"I see you're becoming accustomed to walking with the cane,"
    1.36 +"Yap, it didn't take me that long to learn how to use it."
    1.37 +She could sense that her mother was worried about something, but
    1.38 +didn't know what was occupying her mind. "Mother, is there something
    1.39 +wrong?"
    1.40 +"Oh, I just have this feeling that something is wrong with the
    1.41 +timeline, you see about four days ago, I was working in my study,
    1.42 +talking to Rini and Helios. I got this feeling something came out of
    1.43 +gate; but when I went to inspect it, I found absolutely nothing wrong
    1.44 +with it." They stopped in front of the door to the Queen's study.
    1.45 +"I don't feel any evil," Hotaru though. Trista knocked on the door;
    1.46 +she could hear the Queen beckoning them to come in. Trista opened the
    1.47 +door, and closes the door behind them.
    1.48 +
    1.49 +  In a different part of the Palace, Rini, Helios is talking with
    1.50 +Luna and Diana.
    1.51 +They were sitting in the living room. A fire had let in the faire
    1.52 +place and the warmth radiating heat through out their bodies. The
    1.53 +room was large and comfortable. Overstuffed chairs and long formal
    1.54 +couches were placed in clusters. Pretty pillows of coordinating
    1.55 +materials were on all of the pieces of furniture. 
    1.56 +The comfort of the room led the friends to start discussing the
    1.57 +details of the impending wedding. Mental pictures of the ceremony and
    1.58 +reception led to dreams of future children, homes, and places the
    1.59 +couple would share as they grew older, still enjoying each others
    1.60 +company.
    1.61 + "So are you guys considering on having kids, because you know your
    1.62 +mother counting on you to have an heir?" asked Luna
    1.63 +Rini just blushed real red. The thought of having Helios' children
    1.64 +made her feel nervous and excited at the same time.
    1.65 +"Well, I don't have to worry about having kids, because I'm getting
    1.66 +married to the hottest babe in the hold kingdom," Diana replied with
    1.67 +a big grin.
    1.68 +"I can see it now your kids asking why they have a tale," Helios
    1.69 +said with a glint of sarcasm. They all laughed, as Diana got red
    1.70 +faced.
    1.71 +"How is Hotaru doing?" asked Luna turning from looking out the window.
    1.72 +"Amy said the blindness has a time limit, it toke her all night but
    1.73 +she knew that much," replied the pink princess.
    1.74 +"Well that's good right?" questioned Diana
    1.75 +"I don't know, but her eyes may never be the same," Luna said
    1.76 +setting down next to her daughter.
    1.77 +"Well, its better then being blinded forever," Helios replied
    1.78 +holding on to Rini.
    1.79 + Rini loved the feeling she was getting from the way her fiancé was
    1.80 +holding her. The laughing and talking went on. No one notice a young
    1.81 +lady outside was watching them from window in the rain.
    1.82 +"Don't get to comfortable my Queen and King, for your time is about
    1.83 +up." she said
    1.84 +"What are you doing out here, in the rain?" a little voices from
    1.85 +behind her.
    1.86 +She turned around a young girl with blond hair, and wearing a bright
    1.87 +pink raincoat and hat. She seemed care free and friendly. 
    1.88 +"My name is Dainae, what is yours?" she asked.
    1.89 +"Sierra, what are you doing out here?"
    1.90 +"Mother said I could play in the rain, do you want to play with me?"
    1.91 +she asked holding her out her hand.
    1.92 +Sierra just looked at her, slowly reached out and touched her hand.
    1.93 +As their hands meet the two felt a powerful connection to one
    1.94 +another. The feeling of sadness came into Sierra's heart, but didn't
    1.95 +show it. Finally, Dainae tried to pull her new friend into one of the
    1.96 +puddles. The pair of paint-sized girls played, Dainae's mother
    1.97 +watched from the kitchen. "She looks so happy with her new friend,
    1.98 +but were did she come from?" 
    1.99 +She turned back to the girls, in the corner of her eyes she saw a
   1.100 +woman standing in the rain. "How and the hell did she get there, and
   1.101 +why is she standing in the rain with out a raincoat, or an umbrella."
   1.102 +Mina got her umbrella, and walked outside. "Would you like something
   1.103 +to keep you out of the rain?"
   1.104 +The other woman turned around to see the Queen of the Planet Venus,
   1.105 +holding an umbrella over both of there heads. She then looked back to
   1.106 +the girls playing in the rain.
   1.107 +"Is that your daughter?" asked Venus pointing to the girl with short
   1.108 +black hair.
   1.109 +"Yes, that's Sierra."
   1.110 +"May I ask your name?"
   1.111 +"Oh, sorry about being rude, I'm name is Gaia," with a little bow.
   1.112 +"I'm….."
   1.113 +"I knew how you are Princess Venus, or as your friend call you Mina
   1.114 +and little one playing with my daughter is Dainae," with little nod.
   1.115 +Venus was just looking at her and nodded as well. 
   1.116 +"Would you like to come in and warm up?"
   1.117 +"Thank you that would be nice."
   1.118 +Venus turned her head to the girls "Girls we'll be inside if you
   1.119 +need us."
   1.120 +The girls looked over said ok and went back to what they were doing.
   1.121 +The two ladies walk into the palaces, and closed the door behind them.
   1.122 +"What do you think they're going to talk about, Sierra?" Dainae asked.
   1.123 +"I really don't knew"
   1.124 +"Ha, do you want to see my room? Dainae begged holding her friend's
   1.125 +hand.
   1.126 +Sierra couldn't help but smile at this, "It's been a very long time
   1.127 +since I've felt like this," she though. She felt a hand pulling on
   1.128 +hers.
   1.129 +"Come on!"
   1.130 +"I'm coming, keep your shirt on," with a playful tune. This made
   1.131 +Dainae blush a little.
   1.132 +They walk pasted their mothers and down the hall to Dianae's room.
   1.133 +The mothers were in the living room were Rini, Helios, Luna, and
   1.134 +Diana were already gone. So it was just the two of them. 
   1.135 +"I'll have a maid get you some dry closes,"
   1.136 +"Thanks you."
   1.137 +"You're welcome Gaia"
   1.138 +"Venus are you in their?" asked a voice coming from the great hall.
   1.139 +"Yes, I'm," she responded smiling at Gaia.
   1.140 +A woman with ocean green hair entered with a flowing satin gown. The
   1.141 +material shimmered in the light revealing a lavender tint to the
   1.142 +fitted gown. The dress was lovely. The gorgeous figure of the woman
   1.143 +was highlighted by the cut of the gown and flowing material from the
   1.144 +shawl. Her shiny aqua hair was pulled back with a bow made of the
   1.145 +same material as the dress. Earring hung from her ears and showed off
   1.146 +her beautiful black eyes and exotic neckline.
   1.147 +"Oh, I didn't know that you were having company," Neptune said
   1.148 +taking a look at the other woman in the room. A wave of recognition
   1.149 +overcame Neptune as she gazed into the stunning woman's eyes. "This
   1.150 +woman has the same sadness in her eyes has my daughter," she though.
   1.151 +At the same moment, Gaia look at her, "Is there something wrong?"
   1.152 +"No"
   1.153 +"Neptune this is Gaia, her daughter is playing with Dainae in her
   1.154 +room," said Venus
   1.155 +"Hello," she replied holding out her hand.
   1.156 +"Pleased to meet you" shaking her hand.
   1.157 +"Princess Venus, close you asked for," said the maid walking up to
   1.158 +them and handing it to her. It was pale pink with spaghetti strap
   1.159 +dress. There was a beautiful sheen to the material. The A line cut of
   1.160 +the dress would show all of the curves and the two ties for her dark
   1.161 +hair would make the outfit magnificent.
   1.162 +"Thank you for the gift, Princess Venus, is there some were that I
   1.163 +could change," Gaia asked.
   1.164 +"You can use my room, oh and Venus, the Queen would like to see
   1.165 +you," Neptune said.
   1.166 +"I will keep your friend company, in tell you return,"
   1.167 +"Is this ok with you?" asked Venus
   1.168 +Gaia just nodes her head and then Venus walk out of the room.
   1.169 +"Well, we better get you into those close, please come this way,"
   1.170 +replied Neptune show her the way. As both were in deep thought as
   1.171 +they walked down the hall. They ran into Rini and Helios. They both
   1.172 +stopped, and bow.
   1.173 +"Neptune, who's your friend," Rini requested.
   1.174 +"This is Gaia, she is a friend of Venus's," she replied.
   1.175 +"We're you from?" asked Rini with a smile.
   1.176 +"I'm sorry, I can't give that information out, I'm truly sorry
   1.177 +Princess, I'll just get my daughter and go,' she said with sadness.
   1.178 +She walked pass them, and headed to Diane's room. The three just
   1.179 +looked at one another, then Neptune walk after her.
   1.180 +"Did I say something wrong?" Rini though.
   1.181 +"I think we better let Hotaru's mother deal with it," Helios said
   1.182 +taking Rini's hand and led her to the living room. Rini looked down
   1.183 +the hall one more time.
   1.184 +
   1.185 +  In Diane's room the two girls were looking at a new wedding dress
   1.186 +book. Diane found it next to the Princess's room. "What do you think
   1.187 +of this one," she asked pointing to a woman in a white silk dress
   1.188 +with shimmers, with a white rose in front and a little bow in the
   1.189 +back.
   1.190 +"I like it too," replied Sierra. As she turned the page, they heard
   1.191 +a knock on the door.
   1.192 +"Who is it?" asked the girls at the same time, they both looked at
   1.193 +one another, and laughed.
   1.194 +"It's me Gaia, my I come in?"
   1.195 +"Come in," she heard someone say, so she opened and walked in.
   1.196 +From the look in her mother's eyes, Sierra knew that something was
   1.197 +wrong.
   1.198 +"Mother, you ok?" she asked getting off the floor.
   1.199 +"I would like know the same thing?" asked a woman standing behind
   1.200 +Gaia.
   1.201 +Gaia turned around to see Neptune standing there with a worried face.
   1.202 +"I sorry about that, I don't like to talk about were I'm from," Gaia
   1.203 +told her.
   1.204 +"That is alright, the Princess sometimes doesn't think before she
   1.205 +speaks," Michelle said with a shrug of understanding.
   1.206 +The two girls laughed when they heard this. The two older women
   1.207 +started to laugh with the girls. After they stopped laughing Sierra
   1.208 +saw a dress in her mother hand.
   1.209 +"Mother, why do you have a dress?"
   1.210 +"Oh, this?" looking down at it. "I got this from Mina's maid because
   1.211 +I'm wet."
   1.212 +"Dainae, would it be alright, if I used your room to change?"
   1.213 +"Sheer," replied Dainae. The three of them walked out of the room,
   1.214 +and closed the door behind them. As the three waited in the hall
   1.215 +Michelle looked at the two girls talking.
   1.216 +"What is your name?" asked Michelle looking at Dainae's friend.
   1.217 +"Who me?" asked Sierra. Michelle just nodded her head.
   1.218 +"I'm Sierra," she said with a bow.
   1.219 +"It's nice to meet you, Sierra, I'm….."
   1.220 +"I knew how you are Princess Neptune, your one of the mothers to
   1.221 +Princess Saturn, and your wife is Princess Uranus," interrupt Sierra.
   1.222 +Michelle was shocked.
   1.223 +"How did this girl know so much about her," she thought.
   1.224 +The door opened, and Gaia came out. 
   1.225 +"You look very nice," Michelle said. The girls just smiles and
   1.226 +nodded in agreement.
   1.227 +"Thanks for the compliment," replied Gaia.
   1.228 +"Mother, you're smiling, it's been a while," her daughter said.
   1.229 +"I think your right,"
   1.230 +
   1.231 +    Venus walked into the Queen and King's study, and sat down.
   1.232 +"Venus, I asked you here, because I need to know if anything was out
   1.233 +of place?" asked The Queen.
   1.234 +"From what we knew, about four days ago, the weather went a little
   1.235 +wacky, it started to rain, and snow, then it stopped. What is really
   1.236 +weird is that no one knew noticed it, but us," said Trista.
   1.237 +"About four days ago," the King thought.
   1.238 +"Darien, is there something wrong? His wife asked.
   1.239 +He was in deep though, has he got up and walked to the window, he
   1.240 +looked out side.
   1.241 +He was thinking about what Zack said "My mother told me. Before she
   1.242 +died, she said that she been having a repeating dream. "There's this
   1.243 +woman with long pink hair standing next to my mother tell her that
   1.244 +her son will have one of the seven Dark Rainbow Crystals, but only
   1.245 +Princess Saturn could have it."
   1.246 +The Queen walked over to him and hugs him from behind.
   1.247 +"Honey, what's wrong?"
   1.248 +"Trista didn't the time gate act up about four days ago?" he asked.
   1.249 +"Yes, it did but what dose…." Then it donned on her, that it was the
   1.250 +same time that they found out about the crystals.
   1.251 +"My King, are you saying that the crystals may have come though the
   1.252 +gate?"
   1.253 +"Yes," then turning around, smiled at his wife, and then looked at
   1.254 +Hotaru. The Queen followed his gaze, then it hit her, she knew what
   1.255 +her husband was thinking. He looked back at his wife, and nodded.
   1.256 +Hotaru could feel that they were looking at her.
   1.257 +"Hotaru, when did you start having the dreams?" asked The Queen.
   1.258 +  Hotaru thought about it for a minute, "It was about four days
   1.259 +ago," she told them.
   1.260 +"For the gate to act up like that, there had to be more then a few
   1.261 +little things," Trista mentioned. Venus was thinking about Gaia, and
   1.262 +her daughter.
   1.263 +"May Queen," Venus said getting up, and waking to the door.
   1.264 +"Where are you going?" asked The Queen. Venus turns around "I met
   1.265 +this young lady, and her daughter." "I need to get back to them" as
   1.266 +she walked out of the room and closed the door behind them.
   1.267 +"What was that about?" asked Trista as she walks over to Hotaru.
   1.268 +"I don't know, why we don't call it good for now," the King said
   1.269 +setting back down in his chair. The other three just looked at one
   1.270 +another and smiled. Hotaru and Trista went to the kitchen to get
   1.271 +something to eat.  As Venus walk to her daughter's room, she had this
   1.272 +bad feeling, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Venus put the
   1.273 +troubling thoughts out of her mind as she came down the hall.
   1.274 +"I have a feeling that you're right," said a woman in front of her.
   1.275 +"Oh, hello Michelle, so you also have a feeling that something is
   1.276 +not right?"
   1.277 +"I just got done talking to your new friend; she doesn't say much,
   1.278 +but I get this feeling that I knew her from some were, and I think
   1.279 +she knew what's going on."
   1.280 +"So, what do you think we should do?"
   1.281 +"I really don't knew, I really don't knew"
   1.282 +"That give me an idea," Venus though as she walk pass Neptune and
   1.283 +down the hall.
   1.284 +"Later!"
   1.285 +Michelle smiled and went to find the Queen. "Oh, I should ask Venus
   1.286 +were she is?"
   1.287 +She turned around, and yelled to Venus.
   1.288 +"Venus, where is the Queen?!"
   1.289 +Venus yelled back "She said she was going to speck to the Princess!"
   1.290 +"Thank you"
   1.291 +
   1.292 +  "What was that all about momma?" asked Dainae.
   1.293 +"Nothing, anyway I was think, if it's alright with your mother, how
   1.294 +would you like to have a sleepover," suggested Venus.
   1.295 +The girls heard the word (sleepover) and began the pleading and
   1.296 +bargaining.
   1.297 +The look that they gave here mother was one of the really cute large
   1.298 +eyed looks only pretty little girl can pull off while still being
   1.299 +cute. Gaia rolled her eyes and thought that if she doesn't let them,
   1.300 +she'll never hear the end of it. So she just nodded her head.
   1.301 +The girls scream in excitement, ran back into Dainae's room. 
   1.302 +"Thank you," Venus said bowing.
   1.303 +Gaia though for a moment, then walks into the room. "Sierra, I need
   1.304 +you to promise that you wouldn't do anything."
   1.305 +Sierra knew what her mother was talking about, for how much she
   1.306 +wanted too, she nodded to her mother saying she wouldn't.
   1.307 +"Thank you, sweetie" hung her and walked out of the room.
   1.308 +Dainae and Mina looked at one another.
   1.309 +"I think it's about time I left," 
   1.310 +"Would you like to stay in one of the gusted rooms," offered Venus.
   1.311 +"Thank you for the offer, but I would feel much better at the
   1.312 +hotel." She said bowing and turning to Sierra.
   1.313 +"Sierra, all be back around one o'clock tomorrow" she said.
   1.314 +Her daughter just nodded her head and went back to playing the video
   1.315 +game.
   1.316 +"She'll be fine" Venus told her. Gaia just nodded.
   1.317 +
   1.318 +  On the other side of the Places Serena and Rini were walking
   1.319 +around the gardens.
   1.320 +"How do you feel about what happen to Saturn?" Serena asked.
   1.321 +Rini had flashes of yesterday came running through her head.
   1.322 +("What are you afraid of, it's not like you're in love with her?" "I
   1.323 +mean you have Helios, Do you really need her in your life?")
   1.324 +"Rini, is there something wrong?"
   1.325 +Her mother's intuition was screaming. Just the look in her
   1.326 +daughter's eyes gave her shivers. "Would you like to talk about it?"
   1.327 +"I won't judge what you say."
   1.328 +"A mother never wants to see her children unhappy."
   1.329 +"Your right about that my Queen," someone said.
   1.330 +They turned around seeing Michelle walking up. "I love the smell of
   1.331 +rain," she said.
   1.332 +"Hello Michelle, what brings you out here?" the Queen inquired.
   1.333 +"May I speak with you privately, my Queen? With a nod of her head,
   1.334 +she knew that the Queen had granted her permission to retire to the
   1.335 +bench off the path. It was recessed enough to provide the privacy
   1.336 +required to allow the pair to talk. Rini just looked on as the two
   1.337 +talked.
   1.338 +"I've been having this feeling to a person I met today, her name is
   1.339 +Gaia, she is new to this area and I feel like I've know her all my
   1.340 +life." "I think the feeling maybe due to the fact that Gaia has such
   1.341 +a strong resemblance to my own daughter. Needless to say, I feel a
   1.342 +connection to this woman and her child." Michelle told her.
   1.343 + The Queen had a strong inclination that his new figure held great
   1.344 +significance, but she was at a loss as to who this woman was. Her
   1.345 +head was reeling with questions about this Gaia person. Serena
   1.346 +couldn't help but wonder who this woman was and how she enters the
   1.347 +Kingdom without her knowing. She was perplexed. 
   1.348 +
   1.349 +"My Queen, I know this must sound crazy. Before she could finish her
   1.350 +thought, a blood curdling scream pierced the serene garden. "That
   1.351 +sounds like Hotaru!" yelled Rini running toward the screaming. The
   1.352 +both mother run after her.
