Crystal: Hello! Mosha: Greetings! Crystal: Salutations! Mosha: Hi! Crystal: Konnichiwa! Mosha: Ohayo! Crystal and Mosha: WELCOME 2 OUR WORLD! Crystal: We're BA~A~ACK! Mosha: Ready to write! Crystal: Ready to fight! Mosha: Ready for Tsukikage no Knight! Crystal: Damn straight! Mosha: Get ready for another fun-filled... Crystal: Action packed... Mosha: Heart warming... Crystal: Lovable... Mosha: Part of... Crystal: ECLIPSED: The fic with a pointless name! Mosha: On with the FIC!! Crystal: Wait a sec! You have to apologize for putting the obnoxious note up!! That wasn?t fair to the readers!! Mosha: But they didn?t email me! Crystal: That?s because you didn?t write any of the parts! Folks, just so you know; We love to get email, but don?t let MOSHA the little -beep beep beep beep beep- make you email us! We?ll-well, I?ll-keep writing no matter what! And thank you all the peeps that wrote when you were scared we were going to stop writing-even if you gave me a guilt trip. *Sniffle* This part is dedicated to you, and EVERYONE who wrote about the note (NICE ones, mind you) got a sneak preview! YAAAY! Mosha: On with the fic NOW?!!!! Crystal: Do you promise to be good? Mosha:? Crystal: On with the fic anyways. DOMO arigato and thank you very much for reading!! Eclipsed Part Three By Crystal Aino (AGAIN, Mosha!!) Prologue to Part Three (Hopefully Humorous). ?And I?m afraid that we?re coming up to some more turbulence, folks,? The captain?s deep voice boomed over the speakers as many of the airplane passengers moaned and clutched their stomachs. ?Hold on to your barf bags! We?re going in!? Serena frowned, a little bit frightened but mostly enjoying the interval to the otherwise boring flight. Hmmm, she thought, the captain sure sounds a bit?well, unorthodox? In the pilot?s seat, a young man with startling green eyes, straight, chest length white hair, and a mischievous smile was piloting the plane. He turned to the intercom, making his voice especially deep and pilot-like (as one would make their voice deep and god-like,) and said, ?Looks like this rough patch is just about over-whoops, spoke too soon! Here we go again!? He laughed out loud and, all though the sky was cloudless, twisted the (for lack of a better name) steering wheel erratically. The plane swerved from side to side, causing some passengers to give an extra donation to their barf bags. ?Man, I love this job.? Artemis grinned. Serena, a.k.a Usagi stepped off the plane. It was the first time her feet had touched the ground of Japan in seven years. She smiled bitterly. She would have liked to say that she had left dramatically, like DARIEN-notice the absence of the pet name Mamo-chan-but she hadn't lived her life out dramatically so far, besides the eerily similar-to-a-soap-opera scene with HIM two days ago. She had gone to high school, but decided she didn't want to go to college. From then, she had traveled to Canada and made a fairly good income with her romance books. And now, she was back in Japan. Where Usagi belonged. Serena could fit in. She grabbed her suitcase off of the moving belt and walked out to the "Arrival" area. "WELCOME BACK, USAGI!" Serena started. All of her friends stood there, smiling widely, her parents holding up a large sign with WELCOME on it in big letters and her trademark bunnies all over it. "You guys..." Usagi's-yes, Usagi was back-eyes started to water and she threw herself into the circle of loved ones, her parents and best friends swarming around her, hugging her and enclosing her with their warmth. "Usa-chan..." Rei's purple eyes shimmered. Ami was hugging her tightly, a change from her natural decorum. Mako was barely keeping her tears of happiness at bay, and Minako was almost glowing. Haruka and Michiru held themselves back, but Usagi could see the aura of delight that enclosed the group was surrounding them too. "Tsukino Usagi! Come here and give your parents a hug!" Ikuko demanded, although her eyes were bright also. She enfolded her daughter in her arms and whispered, "I missed you so much, my baby." Usagi turned to her father, slightly nervous. He hadn?t approved of her leaving to a whole other continent, just to write. In fact, they?d had a bit of a fight. But Kenji was smiling. ?Usa! We missed you so much!? Usagi smiled back and hugged him tightly. She had missed Juuban and her home-her family, her friends-so much! Now, she was finally back where she belonged. She had to send Molly a postcard. Better yet, she wrote Molly-via email. Molly had been tentative about the subject of how HE had reacted to the news of her departure. Usagi had grimaced when Molly broached the subject of her contract, but wrote her back. She had gone to somebody a bit lower than Darien Solo, and whoever they were had agreed to let her write from Japan. Molly had given them the false story that Usagi-guiltily-had given her, that she missed her homeland and she needed new inspiration. So, Moll, [Serena finished off her letter] I?m really sorry, but I?m not coming back to stay. Why don?t you come here, for a visit? And, by the way, my Japanese name-I never told you, but it?s Usagi Tsukino. It means Bunny or Rabbit of the Moon in Japanese. Isn?t that cute? It?s because of the little buns in my hair I used to wear. Sayonara! Serena/Usagi ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Darien sat in his office. He sighed and laid his head in his hands. What the hell was he going to do? He needed to talk to Serena. Yet Molly had said that she went back to Japan. What was he going to do? He needed to talk to her. He needed to be with her. He needed her to love him. I wonder what she would say if I came back to Juuban? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Crystal: Wait a sec?didn?t they already make a movie like that? Mosha: Ummm?that was called Back to the Future!!! Crystal: umm??okay? but I still think? Mosha: SHUT-UP! Crystal hiding in the corner: okay???????but wasn?t that the one with Michael J. Fox (GO CANUCK ACTORS!!!) and the psycho old dude with the floating car? Mosha: @_@;;;;;; Crystal: Hey, ya know what? I just realized (now while I was reading a fic?^^) that a lot of ppl sign out and tell peeps to send comments, critiscm, death threats or flames. Welllllll, we can do comments, will love u 4EVER if you compliment us, have to hurt you if you send us flames and if you give us death threats? Mosha: I know where you live!! Crystal: No you don?t. Mosha: I?ll get out my shotgun!!! Crystal: 0.0 The police gave it BACK?? Mosha: Not quite? heh heh heh? stupid coppers? Crystal: Did the peeps with the tranquilizers come? Mosha: Let?s just say they DID come? not say where they went!!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Darien walked out of the airport, mumbling to himself about funny pilots and parachutes. ?Taxi!? A yellow taxi pulled up, emitting obnoxiously black fumes. ?Uhhhh? can you take me to the Tsuki hotel? Is that still around?? The driver smiled at him. ?Sure! Hop in!? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Darien paced around his bedroom, talking furiously into his cell phone. ?*Yes*, Molly, tell them that the conference will take place in Tokyo! What? Why? Uhhhh? because we need a change! Variety is the spice of life, you know! Okay-uh huh? bye. You too.? Darien sighed and flopped down on his bed. ?I hope she can talk Usako into coming. Jeez, I miss that girl?? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Dear ?Usagi? ;) Guess what? The conference for writers to meet with Mr. Shields about their books and plans has been moved to Japan. Guess whom by? ;) Looks like you impressed Shields when he took you out to dinner! Someday I?m going to have to get the scoop on that, ya hear? Anyways, I?m going to be flying down soon, and Mel?s gonna come along. So I guess I will take you up on that offer of visiting. Are you staying with your family or getting an apartment? Do you have any-shall we say-romantic inclinations towards Darien? Or is your heart still caught up by this Mamoru guy? It?s just like one of your books! Anyways, I hope you come to this conference and Serena-I know something happened between you and Darien. It?s okay if you don?t wanna talk about it. But I think you should know that he?s moping about and is really depressed lately. And he left for Japan a couple of days ago. Soooo? just give him a chance, okay? He?s a really decent guy!! Molly ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Kay, peeps? we need inspiration? so if u have any ideas, pleeeeez send them 2 us! We would make them different and luvU4ever, and mention you in all of our stories! Seeya later!! Other Fics by Us: Crystal of Love: By Crystal Aino (unfinished? I?m working on it, kay?)

Crystal: NEXT? um, month: SAME PSYCHO TIME, SAME PSYCHO CHANNEL! Mosha: umm? isn?t that a bit lame?? Crystal: No?nothing can be lame? I am in the HAPPY world!!!!!! Hey peeps?
