Abby
Abby had run for as long as she could. The spring night hid her passage from most, those that could have seen her pass weren't paying any attention. She was good and lost deep within the city but it was better than being at home, where no one wanted her anymore.
Her feet sore and still bleeding from the glass that she ran over after she dropped her water glass, her pale yellow nightgown damp and muddy, and her dark curly hair a mess around her face Abby drifted to a stop in a empty park. Tears still falling she just collapsed underneath a tree to stare out into the park with empty eyes. What was she to do? Where would she go? No one wanted her. Her mother was dead and her father hated her. She was "all alone." The last bit slipped out of her numb lips to fade silently in the darkened landscape, as much of a ghost as Abby felt right then.

Sheena
Sheena was out patrolling, looking for new senshi to awakened. It was her duty even if some other’s didn’t particularly care for anyone who she might bring into this war. Anyone with the power to help was an option, she was not biased and believed anyone could be an asset though she prefered eager, willing, and determined assets. She was currently in a small park just past the elementary school, she knew it wasn’t likely for anyone to out around here at this time, but she figured checking wouldn’t hurt.
She was in luck, she could feel someone nearby, a feeling of intuition that let her know there was a new senshi ready and waiting for her. She hurried forward heading for the source and what she found stop her in her tracks. This girl didn’t look to be in a particularly good way and Sheena was a little hesitant to approach her. Still she figured it was best to find out what was wrong, she didn’t feel any youma in the area, so she figured that it must be something else.
“You okay,” she asked approaching the young girl and peering at her with curious eyes.

Abby
Abby didn’t even notice a small cat coming out of the shadows. She just remained staring into the darkness, her mind circling over and over again the things she had overheard her father say. She answered automatically when a question came floating from the darkness, in a dazed voice Abby said, “I’m alone… I’m all alone.” Some life seemed to return to her as she glanced down and noticed a young kitten down by her side. She held out her hand for the small cat to sniff, “Are you all alone kitten? Does no one want you either” The kitten’s bow likely dismissed this idea but Abby didn’t really expect an answer, she didn’t even realise when she turned away from the cat to look back out to the darkness. “What do I do now? Where do I go?”
This all had to be a dream. Everything, from her father’s drunken confession of hatred to her run through the city, had to be a nightmare. Soon her door would open and the housekeeper would be shaking her so she could get ready for school, her father would be at work and her great aunt and uncle would be waiting for her to join them in the dining room for breakfast. A single tear rolled down her dirt smudged check, it just had to be a dream because reality couldn't be this horrible… could it?

Sheena
Sheena didn’t bother sniffing the hand instead bumping her head up against it and rubbing the young girls hand. As the girl turned away she moved to sit next to her looking out to here the girl gazed, she didn’t see anything, but that didn’t matter, the young girl needed comforting, to know she wasn’t alone and some guidance. Sheena could give that to her.
“You aren’t alone at all. I’m here with you. I came here specifically just to find you.” She moved around to the front of the girl and looked up at her. “I have a feeling you are a very special person and your being here right now is fate.”
The cat smiled at the girl wholly believing her own words. Even if the girl thought herself to be alone and didn’t know what to do, Sheena thought it was meant for her to be there in that moment to awaken and become a senshi to help in the war against chaos and bring life to her world once more. She stared intently at the girl hoping she was listening. Who was she? Sheena was sure she was, but who?

Abby
“For me?” That made Abby look down at the kitten in front of her. A small part of her mind couldn’t help but comment on the whole talking cat issue but the rest of her consciousness just sat on the snarky part with the excuse of its all a dream. “I am no one special, even my father doesn't want me. Why would you?” Her eyes were dry but the night really began to feel more surreal, maybe it really was all a nightmare and now the sad part was over and the dream turns to a more normal one. She was having a conversation with a talking cat… it had to be a dream and it wouldn’t be the first time that a talking animal had worked its way into her dreams. After watching the last Narnia movie there was what felt like a month straight where all the animals talked in her dreams.
Sheena
Sheena nodded at first, but then shook her head when she said her father didn’t want her and asking why Sheena would. She thought it was insane for anyone not to want their child. She didn’t have any little mau, but she figured there was nothing that could make her not want them. “Yes, Ive been looking for you because you are a defender of justice. You are meant to awaken to magical powers and defend this world from chaos. I am a guardian and I am the one who will awaken you.”
She summoned a pen watching it pop into existence, catching it on her head, letting it slide down her back and tail before tossing it to the young girl before her. “Catch,” she said watching the pen sail towards the child, “but be careful. You dont want to break that chibi senshi.” She grinned at the girl sitting back on her haunches. This girl was Ellicott, she could feel it, she could see it from the pen. She had been right, of course, when wasn’t she.

Abby
Abby listened to the cat intently, the ‘defender of justice’ and ‘magical powers’ just cemented the dream like quality of this conversation. There was no other option but it all be a dream, and if this part was a dream then the first part was likely a dream…. a horrible, horrible dream. It just had to be.
“Powers? Like Harry Potter?” If this dream followed her other ones she would likely be flying soon and could find herself back in England. Maybe she would be able to make it rain candy or turn a bush into a tiger. She would just have to remember that it is LeviOsa not LeviosA. Abby was trying to think of other things that could be done with magical powers when a stick appeared out of no where. Before she could get over that the cat had tossed it at her and Abby nearly dropped it.
Once it was secure in her grasp the eleven year old studied the strange object. The top half was a dark gold color but the bottom was red with a black diamond pattern on it circling it, separating the red from the gold. Even more interesting was the top half looked a little like saturn since it was a ball with one big ring around it but etched into the ball was a no figure like she had seen before, it reminded her quite strongly of a dance move. Abby looked down at the cat with a quizzical look on her face. “What is this for and why can’t it be broken? What would happen?”

Sheena
Sheena cocked her head to the side raising an eyebrow. She wasn’t familiar with Harry Potter, so she shook her head in the negative. “No, I don’t know anything about this potter person, but if he can help in the war then he’d likely be a good addition. Is he a knight of some sort,” she question before shaking her head once more.
“Doesn’t matter at the moment, nevermind about that.” She smiled as Abby caught the pen and asked what it was for and why it couldn’t be broken. “That is a henshin pen. It allows you to access your powers and if you break it then you wouldn’t be able to do that.”
Sheena back up, “Right now, stand up please. Hold your pen and you hand and say Ellicott Power, Make Up. Like you mean it please, chibi senshi.”

Abby
Abby's brows scrunched together as the kitten mentioned not knowing Harry Potter. Why would a creature from her imagination not know who the boy wizard was? "A knight? Like King Arthur and the knights of the round table? No. Harry is..." She paused trying to think of the best way to explain to an fictional creature about a fictional character from a book. “Well he is from England, like me.” She finished lamely. Maybe in this dream Harry was real as well so it would be best not to say otherwise.
Since the kitten changed the subject Abby decided to let it drop as well and studied the ‘pen’ as well. “Henshin? What does that mean?” Could a little stick of metal really give her powers? Well the same argument could be made about a wooden ‘wand’ when it came to witches and wizards. Maybe the pen would have a core of a phoenix feather or a unicorn tear. At least if it broke it wouldn’t backfire like Ron’s wand did. “Could it be fixed if it did break or would I have to get a new one?” A little super glue might hold it together if it did break.
When the kitten requested she stand up Abby did so but once weight was placed on her abused feet pain shot up her legs and she almost collapsed again. It was as if she was standing on hot coals and if it wasn’t a dream she would be worried that she really did a number on her feet… but it was a dream. It had to be a dream. It was like a dream of flying where you could swear you were actually above the clouds, the wind in your face, soaring with the birds, until you fell and landed on the floor of your room because you fell out of bed. She shook her head and gritted her teeth… she would work through the pain like she did when dancing. Dancing took discipline, time, patience, and pain... lots and lots of pain. So with her feet screaming for her to sit down Abby raised her pen and said with feeling, “Ellicott Power, Make Up.” After all if it was all a dream she might as well treat it all as if it was real, except the first part, since soon she would be waking up in her own bed… well her borrowed bed at her great aunt and uncle’s place.
