Chapter Seven: Prelude to an Abnormal Existence
------------------------------------------------------------

Prologue - Yume Gakuen's auditorium, Friday, 8:09 AM. Michaela's in-school memorial.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kelly's POV
-------------

"...And so we recognize the terrible absence in our hearts that we feel at the untimely death of our friend and classmate, Michaela Thompson." The principal concluded his speech. Everyone clapped.

I cried.

Morgan cried.

We shared a look at one point of the speech, where the principal stated that the cause of death was unknown. No, it wasn't unknown. We knew. It was our fault, mine mostly. We couldn't save her, though it was our duty. The pain was unbearably dense.

During lunch that day, Morgan went up to Manny and gave him her condolences. I watched from our usual table, my head leaning on Kathryn's shoulder, as the two of them started talking, Manny even inviting her to sit with his friends. Well, there's one good thing that came out of this. I guess.

A few days later, Morgan and I were in my room, myself sprawled lazily across my bed while my friend sank into the plushy armchair that sat in the corner of the colorful room. I had grabbed my transformation wand from its hiding place amongst the random things stuffed into my desk. I stared at it for what seemed like hours, not even noticing Morgan coming up beside me and laying down on my bed. She leaned her head against mine, and I took a piece of her dark red curls into my fingers, twirling it around lightly.
"What...do we do?" She asked, both of us staring mutually at the purple wand I grasped in my hand.
"There's only one thing we can do." I let go of her hair, and turned my blue-green eyes to meet her grayish ones. She nodded, knowing exactly what I meant.

One month later

Morgan's POV
----------------

"Nyah!" Kelly groaned as she was knocked aside by the swift youma passing her. "Destonia! Get it!"
"Right!" I nodded, raising the Garnet Rod into the air. "Time Revolution: Space-Time Manipulation!" The youma, and everything else but Kelly and me, stopped. The dirty blonde smirked and charged at it with the Silence Glaive.
"Silent Scream!" She cried out. The lightning-like blackness appeared in the path of the glaive as she slashed to youma with it. It blew to pieces, and I sighed, time going back to normal.
"Yeah! We did it!" Kelly jumped up as her usual enthusiastic self. I laughed at the...normality of it all. Defeating youma like this...as a team...it was becoming, somehow...normal. I didn't reject who I was anymore. Whenever I had doubts, Kelly would always be the one to brighten me up. As for her, she never was in anything but a good mood. If there was anything Kelly was, it was optimistic. Plus, she never had any reason to be sad or frustrated; she was simply a fangirl living out her dream...but she was so much more than that.

It had been her idea to carry on with the senshi business, to make a pact between the two of us that we would do this, no matter what. Every now and then, I started remembering the horrifying day in the hallway, and I started to think that, maybe, that would happen again. Maybe...I couldn't protect the people around me. Whenever I started to think like that, however, Kelly would come alongside me and remind me that I wasn't alone; I didn't have to carry this burden of lives all by myself. We had each other, and we always would. We were partners.
Oooh, aaaahh, oooh, aaah...it's chapter seven! It was pretty easy to finish. I've been working on it for a couple of days, which is shorter than usual.

Okay, so technically the first six chapters were sort of a prologue. Now, Morgan and I are sailor senshi...and this is where the fun begins!
