*Back dated to 3/25It had been a really fun day full of playing and games. She and Giulia had gone over too her house. Around her room was scattered toys and books and dress up attire. Eventually it was time for bed as her father came to inform the girls. After getting ready for bed Lucia climbed into her castle bed which could comfortable fit two or even three people. She pretended to go to sleep waiting till the time she knew her parents went to bed. This was when the real fun began.
She nudged her friend, "Giulia... You awake?" She whispered waiting till she knew her friend was awake to slip out of bed and over to her window. Thankfully her room was on the ground floor so it wasn't hard to sneak out.
Opening the window she motioned for Giulia to follow her. Once they were a safe distance from her house Ara pulled out her Henshin pen, "Ara Power Make Up!"
After transforming Ara held out her hand. "Ready to go?"

Giulia was so excited! She loved to travel, and she loved her friends, and during the entire week leading up to the sleeover with Lucia, Giulia had been made of impish giggles and making excuses for her joy to Jada and Amelie. When the day at last came it was full of so much fun!! After school she and Lucia went to Lucia's house, and played with toys and read fun books and played dress up and Giulia hosted a tea party for the toys and Lucia, and they were all very 'pinkie out'. Obediently, she put away the toys and closed her eyes when Lucia's Daddy told them to go to bed. He kissed Lucia good night, and Giulia tried not to be jealous. She didn't have a daddy to kiss her goodnight, but she did have Aidan... But he wasn't a daddy so it wasn't the same at all. "Of course I am awake!" She told Lucia cheerfully when the other girl nudged her. She didn't sound awake. She sounded sleepy, but she woke up quickly, tucking her feet into her shoes and following the other girl outside carefully. Grabbing the hand of the freshly transformed Sailor Ara, Giulia bounced happily. "Let's go!" She loved to travel! This was going to be awesome!

Ara pulled out her phone and hit the button Hania had showed her that would take them to her home world. She honestly didn't know what to expect she was scared and excited at the same time. In a flash I two small children disappeared from the Earth and ended up somewhere far away.
When she opened her eyes she saw that they where bathed in iridescent sun light. They were on a road of golden bricks and before them stood six beautiful gate arches. The first was made of stone, the second iron, the third steel, the fourth silver, the fifth gold, and the final one was made of crystal. Beyond the gates was a sparkling city surrounded by marble walls.
Around them was what looked like it used to be farmland and a big dried up river bed. Majestic mountains surrounded them and a crystal blue sky stretched out over them with a sparkling irredescent sun shinning in the middle. It felt like the perfect weather not too hot and not too cold with a gentle breeze.
"This...this is my planet." It was halfway between a statement and a question. "Come on let's go explore the city." She said running foreword motioning for Giulia to follow her.

Giulia wasn't sure what she expected. But it wasn't what she got. In the space between her little yawn and her eyes opening back up, she was taken away from the cold dark of Earth, and now... she was somewhere else. It was BRIGHT, and she winced against the sudden warmth that thawed her chilled bones (for she did not have Ara's magical defense assistance against cold) and the blinding color that assaulted her bright blue eyes. So bright! So much gold! So much... Illumination. She stared around curiously, letting her eyes adjust and trying to pull in what this place looked like. She'd never been anywhere like this before. "Ara!" she protested, seeing her friend moving away, "Wait for me! I can't see good, it is really bright!"

"Oh sorry Giulia." She said rushing back to her friend, she had forgotten in her excitement that Giulia as a normal girl might not be able to handle to the differences between this sunny place and the nighttime streets of Destiny City as well as her magic allowed her to.
"Are gonna be ok?" She asked concerned, she didn't want to go back home but if it was hurting Giulia to be here then she could just come back on her own later.
She took Giulia's hand in her's. She looked up and noticed a gleaming building up on a hill in the center of the city. "Giulia can you see that? It looks like a palace lets go check it out." She said gently urging the other forward with her.

"I'll be okay, I think," Giulia said after a moment, reaching out and clinging to Lucia's arm. "I think next time we come we need to bring me some sunglasses, okay? It's really shiny here." she squinted out over the bright divide, eyes adjusting far too slowly for her own pleasure. Her brow slowly unscrunched as she looked out and took in the city. "Do you think it will be safe?" she asked, "Do you think anyone lives here still? or will there be any puppies? What if there are dead bodies like in the horror movies, should we have brought an adult?" The palace that Ara pointed out was really pretty. "We can go there," she agreed happily. "A palace would be a great home base for exploring all the other places. Maybe we'll find food and water and stuff, or we can put sleeping bags there or something?" How mnay other people had best friends that could plan sleepovers on an alien planet?

Ara nodded, next time they would come more prepared maybe even pack some snacks. But could she do that without her mama noticing, that would be kinda difficult. If her mama wasn't in the kitchen then the cook was and he would definitely report any goings on to her parents.
"I don't think anyone is here." She said, it was way too quiet. "But I don't think there are dead bodies, I think anyone who died here died a long time ago so there wouldn't be dead bodies I think." She said sagely.
"And besides an adult would be all worried about everything, it's better if its just us." She protested, even though she loved her parents and she had known some cool adults she wanted this to be her supervision free haven, no adults allowed. "This is my planet so if there is anything dangerous I'll protect you." She promised.
"Yeah it might even have beds. Oh maybe it has a real princess room." That was an exciting prospect. As they were talking they reached the front gate. It was a large slab door with a really pretty mosaic of a woman holding up what looked like the sun. She didn't see any way in.

If anyone was here or dead it would be really bad, and Giulia leaned in, clinging to her friend nervously and squeezing Lucia's hand. "I hope not!" she exclaimed. "That would be way too creepy. At least everything is really bright here, and the sun is real warm. It feels nice and looks pretty if nothing else. Do you think kitties and puppies could live here? The temperature is real good for them. It would be a nice place to bring them to play." Ara didn't want an adult and Giulia nodded easily. "I know you'll keep me safe," she assured her friend happily, "I just get nervous about scary movies. I'll be brave, cause I'm your sidekick." Giulia squared her shoulders, settling her face firmly. "I won't be scared anymore, Lucia." The idea of a real princess bed to sleep in made Giulia's eyes widen and she picked up her pace with excitement as they drew nearer to the gate. Huh! There was an art of a pretty woman and a light, and Giulia pondered what it could mean. "Is it a puzzle, like in Zelda?" she asked, "Or do you know how to get in? Should we knock?"

"I'm not sure but who would take care of them, we can't stay up here forever. But it would be nice to bring some for a visit though." She wasn't a hundred percent sure she could but it would be nice if it was possible.
"Hmm." Ara thought hard on how to look at the door when suddenly she felt something snap in the back of her mind. With a blink things had changed, she was suddenly taller like she had aged up ten years. Looking around Giulia was gone and the scenery had changed slightly, the whole area was much more alive with the river bed now full of the most sparkling blue water Ara had ever seen. "Welcome back lady Ara, I assume the negotiations went well." An elvish man in golden armor who stood by the gate spoke up. "The Imperator will want to hear from you." He said before pressing a sequence of tiles that causes the gate to open up.
Then the visions ended and Ara was left standing before the gate back in her own body. "I ...I remember how to get in." She stepped up to the mosaic and pressed the tiles she had seen pressed and the sun began to glow softly before the gate slid down into the earth.
She smiled at Giulia, "Come on lets check it out." Inside the city the streets were paved with gold and the sidewalk was granite. There were houses and little shops with colorful awnings above them that offered shade. There were dead trees lining the streets as well as stone statues of what looked like elves.
"I think those were what the people who used to live here looked like. I wonder what they did to get statues." She wondered out loud pointing to the statues as they passed them.

Giulia nodded, considering. She had thought maybe the puppies and kitties could maybe make more puppies and kitties and then the planet wouldn't be as loud, but someone would have to bring a LOT of kitty and puppy food, so Ara had a good point. "A visit would be fun," she agreed. Then Ara seemed to go... empty. She was there, but she wasn't moving for a minute, and Giulia was starting to get scared. That wasn't a good, was it? What if something happened, what if a bad person came now with Ara all distracted and gone and what if she didn't come back?! But then she seemed to just... Shift, and it was like nothing had happened for her. Giulia swallowed, nervously, and watched Lucia go up to the wall and open the door with buttons. "That is weird," she observed. Inside was more brightness. Shiny streets and bright little buildings, and while everything that had been made seemed okay, the things that had been alive.... Was dead. And then the statues... "What if those aren't statues?" she asked. "What if those are the people who lived here, turned into fozzils like the dinosaurs?"

"Sorry." She said realizing how strange it must have looked to someone not experiencing what she was. "I think....I think I was remembering when I used to live here, a thousand years ago. I'll try to stay focus though." She promised.
When Giulia voiced her concerns, Ara hugged her to reassure her. "I'm sure they are just statues."She promised though admittedly she had no real proof of that but she didn't want Giulia to be scared. "And even if they aren't, I wasn't there to protect them but I'm here to protect you so we'll be fine." She promised and she meant it, she was confident is her ability to protect her friend and sidekick. If anything seemed too powerful for her to deal with she would just teleport the two of them home and that would be that.
They crossed through what looked like it was once upon a time a beautiful park but now it was over grown and mostly dead. It made Ara sad to see so much of the nature on her planet dead, she wondered if it was because no one lived here to take care of them. "Do you think we could nurse them back to life, the plants I mean?" She asked Giulia, she didn't know much about plants but maybe she could learn from her gardener.
They eventually made it to the foot of the tall hill where the palace laid. A series of crystal arches marked the winding path up the hill.

Lucia wasn't a thousand years old! That was... what? Was Lucia- Ara- immortal? How had she used to live here? Giulia didn't understand. "Don't be sorry," she reassured the other girl, "It was just kind of weird. You kind of went all creepy-face, and then bam, you got us in, like you remembered the code for the garage door." As Lucia leaved in and gave Giulia a big hug, Giulia clung to the powered girl, giggling. "It's kind of a creepy thought tho, isn't it, Ara? Like a really scary story! Great for sleepovers. But probably not as good for visiting this place for the first time." she clung to Lucia's hand, allowing the confidence to seep through her. If Ara would keep her safe, then Giulia would stay extra brave. She could do that much! Pulling out her cell phone, Giulia took a couple pictures, intrigued. "We can try," she assured Ara eagerly, "I'll snag a couple pictures of those too and I will see if I can search for some good plant waterers. We'll have to find stuff for it, right? Like plant food and water. Maybe it would be easier to tart with little seeds?"

Infinities Here's a rough shape of the palace
"It is, maybe we'll find more stuff like that here. Things we can tell stories about." It was their world to explore and Ara fully intended to do just that, she was confident that her powers and magic would keep them safe.
Ara nodded in agreement. "I'll ask my gardener to teach me about how to take care of plants." She promised to do her part.
After climbing their way up the tall hill they were greeted with the sight of the biggest prettiest building Ara had ever seen. It was gigantic with Alabaster stone walls and pretty multicolored tiled roof. "It's amazing." Ara said as she gripped Giulia's hand.
Walking up the steps braziers that lined the steps ignited with an iridescent flame. As they entered into what looked like a gate house, with its marble and ebony floor and white columns gilded with gold filigree. It was finely furnished and Ara could smell the sweet perfumes of incense wafting about.
Walking through to what looked like a giant courtyard Ara was shocked, she saw a large reflecting pool cut in half by a rainbow bridge. Lining the pool was trees with pretty rainbow colored flower petals. On the other side of the court yard stood what looked like a mansion, if Ara were to guess she figured that must have been the king's house. "Lets check that out." Ara said pointing to the building.

The idea of being re-born was somewhat alien to the 6-year old Giulia, and she bit into her lip, her brow furrowing. Her family wasn't very big on the religion front, so she had little enough concept of reincarnation, or even Easter, but for the words being bandied about by other people or shared in stories and myths. It seemed somewhat... convenient, though, to see memories of being older? That must make you extra smart, knowing things grown ups knew without having to learn them yourself. Giulia wasn't sure she would like all of it though. "What if you remember something yucky?" she asked. "Like, a really bad throw up? Or something super scary, like bad people and extra bad super villains?!" It would be fun to take care of plants with Ara here. It would be good though to see if they could get them to stay alive on Earth first though, maybe, with someone who knew how to help, before bringing them here. Giulia would have to remember to suggest it later. There was lots of room in the gardens at the mansion. Or they could even use the little house in town! That would be better for Ara, they could visit it after school before the driver or Nanny came to take Giulia home to the big house. And speaking of big houses, there was a shiny place ahead of them, and Giulia's eyes were like saucers as she blinked at the glitter and shine. "It's really pretty. It smells weird though." she nibbled on her lip, a developing nervous habit, and gripped her best friend's hand. "Okay, let's go. What do you think we'll find? Books? Pictures? If this place is old, it is in weird good shape. Temples and pyramids aren't in this good of shape... Do you think someone else has been here? Cleaning? Do magic people have maids?"

"I...I don't know what I would do, that was my first time seeing a memory like that. But a memory is just a memory, like a dream it can't really hurt me." Though she hoped she wouldn't remember something as gross and yucky as a really bad throw up.
"Does your mama not like in-sense? My mama burns stuff like this alot, it makes the house smell funny but not in a bad way." She explained.
"I'm not sure hopefully we'll find something cool. Maybe its a magic building, so unlike pyramids it doesn't get all dusty and broken." She theorized, it seemed like solid logic, it was magic unlike those places on earth so of course it would be in better shape. Taking a tentative step onto the rainbow bridge she found that the light was solid so the pair crossed it to the inner palace building.
She opened the door to see a grand thrown on a raised platform of six steps. The throne was made of ivory with gold filigree and multicolored diamonds inlaid into it, however there was three spherical holes in the rounded back, it had a seat made out swan downs. Underneath the throne was a golden mat embroidered with bees, apples, and sparrows. At it's side was statues of lions made from solid gold with ruby eyes. On each step of the stairs were braziers with golden flames burning in them. In front of the steps stood a grand alter of white marble with gold and silver inlaid into it, a iridescent flame was burning atop it. Between the white pillars supporting the room were arches made out of different colored diamonds layered onto of one another so as to create a rainbow like effect. The roof was made out of lapis lazuli with a grand crystal set into it the clearly meant to represent the sun. There was stained glass windows letting in light into the room.
"Wow! Do you think it is ok to sit there." She said cautiously making her way over to the throne. She felt the seat. "It feels so soft." She took a seat it felt so cool and grand sitting in a real throne. "Giulia come on." She said scooting over so that her friend could have a seat next to her.
