Blossom's eyes filled with tears as the woman in the throne looked at the crystal ball she had on the court.
"Soon, our kings will be back with us. The capture of the first daughter has been completed."
She had very little idea where she was, or how she got there. This was all she had remembered:
"Come on, baby, I need you."
"And I don't need your hooks in me."
"A man could go insane if he doesn't get laid. You know that."
"You're not Kane, are you?"
"What's he got to do with any of this?"
"Listen, I only talked with you online because I thought you were intelligent, kind, resourceful, and a little cute. I never wanted to have sex with you."
"Well, what I want and what you want are two different things."
Blossom opened the door and got out. As shocked as he was, it seemed even weirder that the guy did not even try to drag her back in. (Of course, she had a pair of large meat shears if he tried anything on her. A full Lorena was the order for date rape.)
She went out to the paved road and put out her thumb. Hitchhiking was the only way she was going to get back home to Tampa. It was actually quite cold for her.
The first car came up, with a woman in the seat.
"Are you in trouble?"
"Yes. I was on a date and the guy tried to get up in me, and-"
"It's OK. Where do you need to go."
"Tampa. Just off the Junction."
"I'll get you there."
So Blossom got in the woman's car.
A few miles up ahead, she noticed a sign saying "Orlando - 23 miles." Wait-she was going the wrong way!
"Um, ma'am, I'm not sure of where you're going, but-"
"We're going in the right direction. You've got a meeting with somebody."
Blossom tried to get the door again, but this time it did not budge. As a matter of fact, it wrapped in a tentacle around her hand!
"What are you?"
"I'm your guardian, dear."
Suddenly, the woman's hair became tentacles, and her eyes glowed red. Various parts of Blossom's seat became tentacles, wrapping themselves around her. She screamed.
"Scream all you want, honey, no one's gonna hear you."
One of the tentacles smacked her on the head, kocking her unconscious.
When she came to, she was in a cage hanging inside a giant room, with dark minions surrounding her.
"Good morning, my dear Blossom. Your father will be here shortly."
What? She didn't have a father since they died in a car accident four years ago.
The monster woman that lured her was given a special tiara, and kissed on the forehead by a woman with blue skin and red hair, with horns sticking out of her shoulders. She wore a purple dress and what looked like a large boomerang with a giant black stone in the middle as a crown.
"Wh-who are you?"
"Please, allow me to introduce myself. I am Beryl, your queen."
"Queen? I'm American."
"You are first and foremost a member of the Earth Kingdom."
"This isn't some weird cult, is it?"
"No. You are a woman of considerable rank and power due to your bloodline."
"My parents were royals?"
"Of course. Your father was my commaner in Europe, and your mother heir to the throne of the planet Mercury."
"Isn't Mercury a little, um, hot to live on?"
"SILENCE!"
Blossom's eyes welled up.
"Oh, forgive me, dearie. Your father was my commander in Europe, and you are his heir to the throne. It is time to bring you and the other ranking girls to my side."
Blossom's head began to throb. She was having a full-blown migraine. As her eyes closed and she passed out, she could hear Queen Beryl saying, "Take her to her quarters. She needs her rest."

"Where is my little Sakura? She was supposed to meet me today."
Zoisite's eyes were downturned. Kunzite came to his side.
"Didn't you hear? She went missing last night."
Nephrite came into the coffee shop. "I have bad news. This crystal came to the door."
It was a black one, with this message inscribed.
I HAVE THE DAUGHTER OF ZOISITE.
COME BACK TO ME OR GIVE THE OTHERS.
IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.
BERYL, YOUR QUEEN
