To remind you of what has happened here is a brief: My name is Mojo, I’m a longhaired black cat. I’m the guide cat of Mindy and Wendy Duet and they are Sailors Gemini. Here are the sailors we have found so far, Esa Simba Sailor Leo from Kenya and Bella Scorpius Sailor Scorpio from Italy. We are fighting the Constellation Alliance. Orion was killed by his own, the daughter of the queen, Andromeda. Okay now on to this story!

To explain everything to poor confused Bella I went with her to the gym the day after she awakened. It seems that there was going to be a dance and she was doing a mural on the wall for it. This was a good place to talk because there wasn’t anyone else there.

I told her about everything that has happened and all that we knew. She seemed to understand it much better. "I don’t really know if I should take this responsibility. I want to become a great painter someday. This doesn’t fit in my plans. Are you sure it has to be me?" as Bella spoke she didn’t even look away from her painting.

"Yes, you transformed that makes you Sailor Scorpio. Once we stop the queen things may become slower. The other girls had plans that didn’t include being sailors, but they are doing fine. Esa wants to be a doctor and take care of the poor in Africa and Mindy and Wendy want to become famous musicians. I’m sure the next sailor will have a dream that doesn’t include this, but it is your destiny." I tried to encourage her.

"I guess you are right. It’s just that my father wants me to focus on my art and nothing else. You see he wanted to become a painter but life got in his way. He wants things to turn out better for me. I am his link to his dream. I guess that was his dream and mine, but if being a sailor is my destiny I will do it." Bella looked very noble as she told me the story. At the end she shed a tear. I wanted to tell her that she could say no, but it wasn’t true. Bella had to be Sailor Scorpio. I then rubbed against her and she picked me up. I purred as she petted my head. Sometimes being a cat makes things better.

After Bella was done with her painting we went to Mindy and Wendy’s dorm room. By the way the painting was of a woman and man dancing. It was very beautiful. I could see that she was very talented.

"So is everything clear?" Mindy asked. Mindy, Wendy and Esa were all in the room. The twins seemed to be very giddy.

"Yes, it is." Bella told them.

"Guess what, Mojo? Percy asked me to the dance!" Wendy was very excited.

"But he was with Orion! He still could be the enemy." I argued.

"I’m a sailor I would know! Mindy’s going with his brother Hank. This should be very fun." Wendy then picked me up and danced around the room.

I jumped out of her arms and ran to Esa who looked rather sad by the window. I asked, "What’s a matter? Aren’t you going?"

"No, I wasn’t asked." She sighed.

"Well, I didn’t get asked but I’m going." Bella said.

"Really?" questioned Esa.

"How about we go together?" Bella asked Esa. Esa looked at her and smiled a big smile. Wendy and Mindy shook their heads in agreement.

"When is this dance?" I asked.

"This Saturday, of Course!" All of the girls said in unison.

"Sorry, I’m only a cat." I stated matter-of-factly.

The next day the girls spent it at the mall finding dresses. I didn’t go with. I’m not only a cat; I’m also a male cat. I really didn’t care about such things.

When they got back to the dorm room they all tried on the dresses to show me. Wendy’s dress was a purple strapless, Mindy’s was a teal peasant dress, Esa bought a leopard print top with leather pants and Bella’s dress was a lovely burgundy ball gown. The girls looked beautiful.

Once Esa’s roommate found out that Esa was going stag to the dance she decided to tag along. Her name is Cleo Hathor. I’ve seen her, she has Kelly green hair cut to her chin. Cleo also has green eyes a lighter shade than her hair and olive brown skin. Esa told us Cleo is from Egypt and learning to be a carpenter. I told you this school has every major possible.

The night of the dance Percy and his brother came to pick up the twins. Percy had a black suit on. Hank also had a similar suit on. Hank has black hair sort of spiky in the front with blue eyes. He and Percy look a lot alike. Besides the hair the only difference was that Hank appeared to be stronger.

After they left the other two girls came by. Esa said, "Come on Mojoey! You can come with! You really are the only man in our lives!" Bella started to laugh.

"Okay, just because this could be a perfect place for the Constellation Alliance to strike." At that moment Cleo walked in. She was wearing a funky combat green colored dress with all kinds of camouflage spots. I could tell this was an interesting girl.

"Who are you two talking to? Come on let’s go!" she said.

I followed the girls from behind. These three were fun to listen to. They talked about hair, boys and movies. Young girls, they will be the death of me.

Once at the dance, I hid under a table. I saw my two Gemini girls dancing. They looked so graceful, which is weird because they aren’t. They seemed to be right were they were meant to be. The other three girls were standing by the punch bowl commenting on people’s outfits. There were all kinds of people from around the world in the gym that night.

I saw the girl Annie Pulsar also at the dance. She is very lovely, for a human. She seemed to be alone, but all kinds of boys asked her to dance. Annie turned all of them down. She just kept looking at Wendy and Percy with jealousy.

I was getting very bored of this and decided to go outside. It was funny but Esa, Bella and Cleo did the same thing. The gym was right next to the park. I guess the girls needed some fresh air.

I went and sat under the bench that they were sitting on. The girls were upset that no one asked them to dance. I would of, but again I’m a cat.

"So you three couldn’t get someone to dance with! I know of someone who is interested." The voice came from somewhere in the dark. After a bit Andromeda walked into the light. Her crystals seemed to glow in the darkness. I tried to get Gemini on the wrist communicators but they weren’t wearing them.

"We’ll stop you!" Shouted Bella. Esa took Cleo by the hand and tried to get her out of the way.

"Don’t take her! We all need her. Aquila, come and awake her!" Andromeda yelled. Then bright stars came down and formed a giant golden eagle. This eagle like all of the others had crystals on its body.

"Sailor Scorpio Make-Up!"

"Sailor Leo Make-Up!" the two sailors yelled and transformed. I wanted to yell not in front of the civilian, but it was too late. Cleo was stunned.

"Leo Mournful Roar!" Leo used her attack. The giant eagle batted it’s wings and her power came back to them and knocked Leo and Scorpio into a tree.

Cleo was left not knowing what was happening. Then I saw it, the Taurus symbol on her forehead. I ran to her and gave her an olive green star broach. "Say ‘Sailor Taurus Make-Up’." I told her.

Cleo immediately took the star and said, "Sailor Taurus Make-Up!" Light engulfed Cleo and she soon was Sailor Taurus. Her uniform was olive green with Kelly green bows. Taurus’s boots were black combat boots.

"Taurus Charging Bull!" her power was a green bull that charged the eagle. It worked, but did not kill the eagle.

"That’s enough Aquila!" Andromeda jumped on it’s back and flew away.

"Hey where are you going? This isn’t over!" Taurus yelled at the bird as it disappeared.

"Andromeda just realized she can’t kill you. If she kills you then Queen Cassiopeia will never get the Horoscope stone." Perseus said as he appeared from the dark. Just like Andromeda his crystals glowed bright. "Good luck with everything!" Perseus then was gone.

The girls powered down and went back to the dance to fill in Mindy and Wendy. Gemini said they didn’t know what was happening they were just having fun dancing with Percy and Hank. And to think I thought that Percy was Perseus, I guess I was wrong.
