Crystal Tears (picture drawn by: Sailor Celestial)




I dreamed that I was Super Sailor June Princess and I was walking around on some wooden bleachers. There were THOUSANDS of other Sailor Scouts there. I was scared. You see, all of the Sailor Scouts were joining together so that our leader could make an announcement and from what I had heard...it wasn't going to be a good announcement.

I wandered up the bleachers and across the bleachers and I felt like I was being led somewhere. I finally stopped and sat down. I looked over to my left and I saw someone vaguely familiar weeping pitifully. She was sitting all by herself in a deserted section of the bleachers. It sounded like she was crying her heart out. I stared at her. She had on black leather boots up to her thighs and long light brown hair pulled back in a ponytail that draped down her back. She was holding her face in her hands which were covered with black leather gloves that went past her elbows. Her outfit consisted of a black leather top and a black leather bottom. A gold band with a star in the middle was on her forehead and gold star earrings hung from her ears. A purple necklace was around her neck and purple criss-crossing bands were around her waist. She was so familiar but for some reason, I couldn't remember who she was while I was in the dream.

I stared at her. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I was trying to remember who she was. I wanted to go comfort her but I knew that from the way she was crying...I wouldn't be able to comfort her. The others weren't even paying attention to her! Couldn't they almost feel the hurt she was feeling? I could. What kind of Sailor Scouts were they?! I thought they were all supposed to be loving and good and caring for others!!!!

She continued to cry until tears began to drip from her leather gloves. I had to get up and go talk to her and TRY to comfort her. I couldn't stand to see her suffer any longer. I walked over to the girl and she sensed that someone was coming. She looked up at me with tears blurring her purple (YES! PURPLE!) eyes. She didn't try to hide the fact that she had been crying. I just sat down beside her and she drew comfort from that, I think, because she stopped crying. I said nothing. She said nothing either. She did look at me and a small smile played about her lips. I smiled at her then. I wanted to know what had made her cry so much but I knew that it was none of my business.

It was very noisy at the convention. There were so many people there.

The girl looked down at her gloves and she whispered something in Japanese. It was a Japanese name. I knew she was talking to herself. In the dream I understood Japanese! The girl looked at me again and she said in Japanese, "Your hair is beautiful. It is such a strange color. It's...brown but....red...and...silver also." She smiled. I smiled too and said in Japanese, "Thank you." I continued, "Your hair is beautiful too you know. Your hair is brown and....red like flame." She smiled and giggled. She said, "Thank you. You are very kind." She continued, "We are very much alike. You and I." I smiled and said, "How do you know?" She said, "I sense it." I smiled. I felt very comfortable talking with her. I felt like I had known her all my life. She said, "I know who you are. You are a Crystal Sailor. You are the Keeper of the Time Mirror and the Sacred Boots. You are Super Sailor June Princess." My eyes widened in surprise. How did she know that?! I smiled and nodded. She said, "You know who I am too even though you think right now that you don't." I looked into her purple eyes and they revealed nothing. She said, "We are friends for all eternity." I said, "Yes...we are friends for all eternity." She was silent for a while and I was too.

Then, she didn't say anything but I felt her mood change. Her face lit up, she got up slowly, took my hand, squeezed it, let go of it, and took one step forward past me. The look on her face was one of complete surprise and happiness! I looked in the direction that she was looking and I couldn't see anything because of the bright light...it was like sunlight...that was coming from that direction. No one else seemed to notice. She took another cautious step forward. I remember the sound of the soft tap of her boot's heel hitting the wooden bleacher.

Suddenly she repeated what she had whispered in Japanese before when she was talking to herself, but this time she didn't whisper it. She SCREAMED it. No one else seemed to hear her scream except me. Suddenly, she started running across the bleachers. I remember the sound of her boots' heals tapping rapidly against the wood. I was just staring. She ran faster and faster until I thought she just might fly. She opened her arms and ran into the arms of a guy. She wrapped her arms around him and she cried and cried and cried. No one else seemed to notice.

I could hear her saying that name in Japanese over and over again. The guy said in Japanese, "I'm here. I'm here. I'm here." Then the girl said, "I thought you were dead! I thought you were dead! I thought you were dead!!!" Then she cried some more. No one seemed to notice except me. I walked back over to where I had been sitting before.

I could hear the guy saying, "I'm not dead. I'm not dead. I'm alive. I'm here. I had to find you. I was injured pretty badly but I survived and I'm alive and I'm here." The girl was shaking her head and saying, "I thought you were dead!!!!! You mean...I left you there...dying...but NOT dead? I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry.... I thought you were dead.... The others said that the blast had killed you...and that...I needed to leave with them.... I didn't want to. I told them that I would rather die with you but no...they said that they needed me...and that...I should come with them. I turned to go back to say...good...bye...but...the dark-haired one grabbed my arm and said, "NO!!! It's too dangerous!!! Come back with us!!!! If you leave, I'm going with you!!!!" Then the white-haired one took my other arm and said, "Come back...please.... The whole place is going to be destroyed!!!! We have to leave!!!!" I looked into their faces and their eyes were so pleading and they looked like they did need me...so I left with them. I'm so sorry...." She cried in a great downpour.

The guy said, "All is forgiven. I'm glad you left with them. I had already left so you would have been killed. I want to thank them for saving you that day." The girl wiped her eyes on her gloves and she took the guy by the hand, smiled, and led him away from where I was sitting. Then, I woke up.

As soon as I woke up, I knew who she was. She was one of the Sailor Starlights but I wasn't a big Sailor Starlight fan then, so I didn't know which one she was! I got online and found a site about the Starlights. She was Sailor Star Maker and she was right. We are both a lot alike. I have AB blood type and so does she. Our hair color is similar and our hair is the same length...only hers is straight and mine is wavy. She's a Sailor Scout and so am I. I guess that means that...out there...somewhere...I have a very special friend....
