Series One Episode Forty-Seven It was late at night and Gyanda Gavelio was still working on her shop. She wanted everything to be perfect for tomorrow's BIG sale. Mostly she was selling Battledome weapons taht she had bought in the past but that Kaisuu, her kyrii, had never used. She turned around to see the skunk kyrii coming into the shop carrying some boxes. "Where did you get all this stuff from?" asked Kaisuu, putting the boxes on the floor. "Most of it is from our deposit box. Can't believe I bought half of this." Gyanda took a couple of steps back to see how the shop was looking, while Kaisuu opened the box he had just brought in. "Wow, some of this stuff has been retired by now! We are going to get great deals for it," said a surprised Kaisuu. "Where do we leave it?" "Just there, we will finish first thing in the morning," and exhausted Gyanda said while heading towards the door. "After all," she thought to herself, "a sleepy seller must be a bad one." The next morning in another part of Neopia Central, a moehog was jumping on his owner's bed, waking her and the other three pets that were there. Melony (also known as Sailor Moehog) covered her head with a pillow. "Wake up, Melony, WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!" shouted the green moehog. "But it's 6:30 and Saturday!!!" said a very sleepy Melony slowly, getting out from under the covers. "You told me to wake you up because some sale is going on, and you didn't want to miss it," explained the jumping moehog. "True, the sale, how could I forget? Quick, Moe, eat some breakfast; we're going to the marketplace." Meanwhile, somewhere on a space station, Sailor Chia was knocking hard on Dr. Sloth's door. "Open the door Sloth! Open the door, evil worm dude!" A Sloth still wearing pajamas emerged from behind the door. Sailor Chia started laughing the instant he came out. Obviously Sloth had forgotten that he was wearing his pink Snowbunny slippers. "What do you want now, and what's so funny at this hour in the morning?!" exclaimed a really annoyed Sloth. "Did I wake you up? But I thought evil never sleeps. Whatever. I need to get to the Neopia Central Market Place." Of course she could have just gone to any transporter in the Space Station if she only wanted to get to Neopia Central, but that wouldn't have been as fun as seeing Sloth in pajamas wearing pink fluffy slippers. "Couldn't it wait a couple of hours?" "No, it can't. I have to get there before the good stuff is sold," said Sailor Chia, pointing to a banner advertising Gyanda's sale. "And tell me, why are you going to waste your money on weapons when WE HAVE THE MOST SOPHISTICATED ARSENAL IN THE WHOLE OF NEOPIA JUST HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "And who said anything about spending Neopoints?" Sloth smiled an evil smile. He wasn't completely sure about this, but if it could help him get rid of Abira for some hours, it was worth trying. Back in Neopia Central, Melony had arrived just in time for the start of the sale, along with many other people. A girl with long slightly wavy reddish hair opened the door. Gyanda had her usual before-big-sales nerves, but she was good at letting no one notice it. "Don't let them smell your fear," she told herself while greeting everyone with a big smile. The sale was going on great; after half an hour she had already made a few thousand Neopoints. Gyanda and Kaisuu were running all around the shop when a loud noise came from the door. Everybody turned their heads to see two Grunkas standing at the door, and between them stood Sailor Chia. Everyone except Gyanda ran away for their lives, giving Sailor Chia enough time to choose what items were worthy of her attention. Suddenly a Moehog Kick came flying and hit Sailor Chia. "Can't I go shopping without some one of you coming to annoy me?" she demanded. "We would if you were actually shopping and not stealing everything in the shop!' "Chia Chaos Ruin!" Sailor Chia attacked without missing another second. Sailor Moehog tried to dodge, but she wasn't fast enough; Melony fell unconscious on the floor. Gyanda was watching all of this hiding under some shelf, where she saw the attack hit Sailor Moehog. She thought that maybe she could walk quietly to the emergency door and nobody would notice. But before she could get the plan clear in her mind, the Grunka lifted the shelf and threw it to the other sode of the room. Gyanda thought quickly. She decided that she had two options: either stare at the Grunka and hope for a miracle that wouldn't come, or try to defend herself. She grabbed the closest weapon she could find: a Sword of Domar, which she pointed at the Grunka. "Go away or I will have to use force on you!" she shouted, her hand trembling with fear. "And you are?" asked Sailor Chia, turning away from the unconscious Melony. Gyanda took a deep breath to control herself, and looking at Chia directly in the eyes she said, "I'm the owner of this store and I demand that you leave." She fell as not only her hand but her whole body was trembling now. "Grab her," sailor Chia said, looking at the Grunka which Gyanda had threatened with the sword. The grunka took her in its big hand and started pressing hard; Gyanda couldn't breathe but in the last moment before she collapsed she saw laying on the shelf a silver cup. It was weird, she thought; she had never seen it before. And it was even weirder that she had started thinking of it in that moment. Suddenly from the cup a dark blue and light blue pen appeared; it started glowing and approaching her. She didn't know how, but somehow Gyanda felt her arm stretching and holding it. She said the first thing that came to her mind: "Kyrii Neo Power, Make Up!" A fine dust surrounded her, and when the dust had cleared Sailor Kyrii appeared, dressed in her dark and light blue outfit. "Kyrii Cyclone!" she shouted as the words strangely appeared in her head. She put her hands together and a cyclone came out from them. It hit Sailor Chia, but wasn't powerful enough to beat her. Lucky for her, at the beginning of the fight Sailor Moehog had called backup. So just when Sailor Kyrii started thinking that it was the end, a shot of Kau brand milk hit Sailor Chia in the face. Both sailors turned around to see Sailors Kau, Zafara, and Acara standing by the store's door. Not wasting any time, there came a shout of Acara Tumble, Zafara Flame and Kyrii Cyclone, while Sailor Kau rushed to see how Sailor Moehog was. The three sailors' attacks threw Chia against the wall, knocking her into Sailor Kyrii's old book collection - the only items that weren't for sale in the shop. Before Sailor Chia had time to stand up an old book fell on her legs. It was very old and she couldn't read what its title was, but she saw that the first word started with S and ended with R, and the second word started with N followed by something and O. She was going to just throw the thing away when a voice came from nowhere: "Bring the book." It was the Chaos Faerie's voice. "But I'm in the middle of a battle." "FORGET it, just bring me the BOOK." The Chaos Faerie was beginning to lose her patience. Sailor Chia didn't want to see her angry again, so she grabbed it and quickly teleported back together with the Grunkas. Kami looked at Gyanda. "Are you all right?" she asked. "Yes, I think so, but did you see what she took?" "It looked like an old book to me. I wonder why the Chaos Faerie was so interested in it." But before Zelda had finished her sentence Gyanda was at the other side of the room looking worriedly at her collection. "I know what she took. It was an old book I received from the Wheel of Excitement. The title couldn't be read but it was something with captial S and N. I think the first word ended with R and the second had an E in it..." "SAILOR NEOPETS!" shouted the sailors. Gyanda and Zelda quickly left for Faerie Land, just in case the book had really important information in it, while Kau and Acara took Moehog to the hospital. The Faerie Queen smiled as both girls told her about the book. "You mean a book like this one?" she asked while pointing to a book laying on a small table at the corner of the room. Gyanda took it and read the title: Life of the Sailor Neopets. "It's a biography of the old Sailor Neopets. Very interesting, if you ask me, but I don't think the Chaos Faerie will be very pleased with it..." “SAILOR ACARA PERSONAL HISTORY, SAILOR SCORCHIO FAVORITE COLOR, THE OPINION OF SAILOR CHIA ABOUT THE TEAM, SAILOR MYNCI'S FIRST CRUSH???
