Takeuchi Naoko had the wonderful imagination to create these gentlemen and their companions. I've just decided to borrow their look alike doubles and give them scripts.
This one is for Aserene... so she can finally have more of her generals from my "Tainted gifts" universe....
Dreams
A/N: This one is in my "Tainted gifts" universe. It takes place after "Fitting in".
Jadeite was heading for the stage area when he saw a strange looking man walking around in the employee only area of the park. He turned his steps towards him. 'It will only be just a moment to send him on his way.' The closer he came to him, he started wondering if he was a new animal tamer. He was tall, dressed in pants that had tiger stripes and was carrying a long whip coiled up. Jadeite started to turn back to his original destination, but he was gripped with the feeling that something wasn't right.
Instead he called out to the stranger. "Excuse me! Can I help you find your way out?"
Tigerseye caught sight of the blond man heading towards him. 'Ah! A possibility. I came here hunting, and it seems that the game has been flushed out. Too bad that the it is a male. I would much prefer a female. Maybe I should just leave him alone.'
Jadeite reached where Tigerseye was standing. "Are you new here? Do need help finding you way?" Jadeite felt even more certain that something was wrong.
Tigerseye frowned. This one felt like he would have a beautiful dream, but he really didn't like the idea of looking at a man's dream. With a careless wave of his hand, he dismissed Jadeite's question. "I don't work here. I'm recruiting. I'm sure you dream of preforming in a large, more prestigious group. Come join us at the Dead Moon Circus. We will fulfill all your dreams."
Tigerseye smiled with all the charm he could muster. 'There! Let him come to the circus and Fisheye can look at his dream. All that matters is that someone checks it.'
Jadeite started to back away from him. "No, my dream has nothing to do with becoming a world class performer. It is much grander than that."
Tigerseye noticed that his prey was trying to escape. 'So he is going to make me look myself. What dream can be grander than being a world-class performer?' His curiosity perked up, and he uncoiled his whip.
"Un!" Tigerseye cracked his whip and a large board materialized. Jadeite spotted it, but too late. Tigerseye cracked his whip again. "Deux!" Jadeite found himself strapped down to the board. He tried to work the hilt of his dagger into the palm of his hand. With the last crack of his whip, Tigerseye called out the last word, the one that brought forth the mirror of dreams. "Trois!"
Jadeite felt part of himself being pulled out his body. The part that he guarded with special care. 'He can't have my dreams! They are mine. Not even Beryl could touch them!' A cry was ripped from his throat as he fought against Tigerseye's command. As he felt himself losing the battle, he shouted a mental cry for help. Then his head lolled over to the side, and his eyes went blank. Spinning in front of his chest was a small mirror framed in white with a pink ribbon on top edge of the frame.
Nephrite and Zoisite rounded the corner and stared briefly at the scene in in front of them. Half a breath latter they charged forward. Tigerseye took a step back as Nephrite and Zoisite placed themselves between him and Jadeite. As Tigerseye raised his whip, Nephrite threw his first attack. "Heart's Flame!" The blue and red flames shot form his fingers, striking Tigerseye and sending him flying.
Tigerseye pulled himself back up to his feet. He raised his whip, and focused on Nephrite. "Un!" A board appeared behind Nephrite.
Zoisite spotted it. Quickly raising his hand up, he called out his attack. "Under Tow!" The water wrapped itself around Tigerseye's legs and pulled him off balance once again. This time when he hit the ground, his whip flew out of his grasp.
As he pulled himself back up to his feet, the glowing mirror caught Tigerseye's attention. 'All I have to do is look into that mirror, and then I can go.' Snarling, he rushed towards Jadeite. "His dreams are mine to see! Out of my way!"
Zoisite jumped in between them, and Tigerseye ran right into him. Zoisite felt the momentum carry them back into Jadeite. Right before they landed on him, Zoisite felt a small resistance, but it quickly faded away. They both sprang away from Jadeite.
One look confirmed what Tigerseye suspected. ' The mirror is gone,' Tigerseye turned to leave. Nephrite's and Zoisite's eyes meet briefly, and then they turned to catch him. Then they felt and heard Jadeite's attack. "Earth's pull." Tigerseye was pulled to the ground. Zoisite turned in time to see Jadeite standing, well actually wobbling, free. Nephrite raised his hands for his next attack, but jerked his head around when he heard Jadeite collapse.
Tigerseye felt the weight holding him down release, and noticed that no-one was paying attention to him. He wasted no time escaping.
When Nephrite confirmed that Zoisite was checking on Jadeite, he started looking for Tigerseye, but he was no where to be seen.
As Jadeite came to, Zoisite felt fear coil up in him. Jadeite's eyes looked haunted and defeated. The same look they had held when they were under Beryl's power. ' We can't lose! We've come so far. Something... I need something to snap him out of it.' Searching his mind for anything he could use, he remembered the mirror.
"So, I guess that mirror was you dream?" Zoisite watched Jadeite's face carefully. Jadeite reacted as if he had been slapped. 'Well, it's better than nothing.'
Infusing a teasing note into his voice, Zoisite continued. "So why do you have a pink ribbon on it? Is there something you're not telling us?"
Jadeite jerked himself up, and glared at Zoisite. Sounding stung, he answered sharply. "No! What are you implying?"
Zoisite just grinned, but he was silently cheering. The look in Jadeite's eyes was anything but defeated now.
Jadeite pulled himself up to his feet and glared down at Zoisite. "As anyone can tell you... Pink is the color of hope. So of course my dreams are surrounded by pink... they are filled with hope!" Dusting off his pants, he turned his back on his friends and started to walk off.
Zoisite gave a small sigh of relief and then stood up as well. Then he and Nephrite rushed to catch up. Once they did, Nephrite figured he better smooth things over just a bit. "So if pink means hope.. then all of us should have dreams that are saturated in pink. Right?"
Jadeite nodded, and then caught sight of Zoisite nodding as well. That was when he noticed the concern in their eyes. 'I almost gave up... that is what this is about. It has nothing to do with the color pink, or mirrors. It has everything to do with the dream we all share.' He stopped. The other two stopped and looked back at him. In a quite voice Jadeite spoke. "Thanks. I'm okay now. I won't give up on our dream. Not that easily."
The three of them looked at each other, their faces completely serious. And then Nephrite finally spoke. "None of us will."
All three of them jerked their heads up when they head the clock bell ring, and then they took off running. Kunzite would be very unhappy if they were late to their performance.
