Disguised Love By: Chamelleon Beep! Beep! Beep! "Whaa!" Serena popped her head up from under the covers and grabbed her communicatior. Luna, who had been kicked off the bed muttered "I need to get one of those luxerious kitty beds". Hey guy's! What's up? Serena stuttered into the communicator. The voice replied "Negaverse creeps have been sighted at the ice pond". Disguise yourself as a skater and meet us at the pond. It was Amy's voice, Serena thought as she reminisced about her friend's, the sailor scouts. They had lived in the moon kingdom with her since they were little girls. First there was Amy. She had short blue hair, was highly intelligent, and seemed quiet and harmless on the outside, but when danger threatened she became Sailor Mercury. She has a compact computer that can figure out almost anything and she controls the element of water and ice. Then there is Mina. She was smart, generous and loved helping others. She had long golden hair (always in a bow) and big blue eyes. Because she looked a lot like Serena, she tended to let others think she was the princess when needed. Mina was also Sailor Venus and controlled the powers of love and beauty. Next there was Rei. She had long, cascading hair that was black as night and mysterious violet eyes. She also had a bad temper to go with it and tended to get into shouting fights with Serena. She was Sailor Mars. She could read the fire and as Sailor Mars, she had the power of fire. Lita was Sailor Jupiter. She was great at cooking, loved to fight bad guys, and usually acted first and thought later. As Sailor Jupiter she controlled the powers of lightening, thunder, and electricity. Lita had wavy. long brown hair (always in a high ponytail) and emerald green eyes. And last there was Princess Serenity. Her friends called her Serena. She had long, golden hair that nearly fell to her feet and shining blue eyes that usually revealed what she was feeling. Her hair was always up in an ordango style. Serena was tough and had the biggest heart of them all. Even though she lacked confidence sometimes, she never gave up on something that mattered. She could do anything if she put her mind to it, but tended to be a clutz. Serena fought for love and justice as Sailor Moon. She had the strongest power of all and fought with the Imperium Silver Crystal. Serena's mother, Queen Serenity, tried to raise her daughter to follow in her footsteps. The Queen also tended to meddle a little. Serena knew her mother had hopes that she would fall for Prince Darien. She had other thought's. She wanted make up her own mind. The prince would be visiting the moon kingdom in three days for the moonlight ball. They usually had a ball every couple weeks, but this one special. It was the Princess' birthday and they had decided on a costume ball. Serena was supposed to meet the prince at the ball like her mother requested. Serena just hoped he didn't recognize her in costume, because she had no intention of meeting the prince. Serena popped out of her thoughts when she realized she was late. She hurriedly put on her silver body suit and tutu that was decorated with stars, grabbed her matching skates,aand rushed out the door. Meanwhile, Prince Darien and his mother had arrived early and he was unpacking after his long travel to get there.The palace was beautiful, he thought to himself. He was supposed to meet the princess at the ball as his mother, Queen Terra had instructed, but he hoped he never met her. His mother hoped he would fall for the princess, but Darien wanted to make his own decisions. "She's probably a major ditz anyway," Darien muttered. He also knew the Moon forces had been fighting off Negaverse monsters and he was willing to help fight......in disguise ,of course. Finally finished unpacking, Darien decided to go skating for a while. At the pond, Serena was having a ball with her friends. If there was one thing she was good at it was skating. However, they kept an eye out for bad guys. Darien had arrived at the ice rink and stood watching everyone skate while he put on his own skates. One figure stood out from the rest and caught his eye. She wore a short silver outfit and matching skates as she whirled and danced on the ice. She had long golden hair that was worn in an ordango style.What was even more breathtaking were her bright, bewitching blue eyes. Serena felt someone staring at her and turned. All at once she froze as her eyes locked with those of a handsome boy. He was tall, dark, and mysterious. He had hair black as jet that fell forward to his eyes. His eyes were a deep, intense blue that had a daring glint in them. He glided over to her with ease. Without a word he took her hand and they started waltzing around the ice together. Suddenly a scream could be heard and people started running with fear in their eyes. Serena and Darien broke apart and turned toward the noise A big youma appeared with razer sharp teeth and claws. He looked like a giant warewolf. His master, Queen Beryl, ordered him to take care of the Sailor Scouts and report back when finished.The other scouts ran to Serena and explained the problem. They quickly transformed. Darien watched in amazement as the beautiful girl and her friends became the legendary sailor scouts everyone talked about.Within moments there stood Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, and their leader Sailor Moon. Darien stared a few more seconds and then pulled out a rose and did a transformation of his own. With a whirl of cape there stood a dashing hero clad in a tux, mask, cape, and top hat. The sailor scouts stared at the figure known as Tuxedo Mask and gasped. However, there was no more time to stare as nega monster lunged at them.The sailor scouts attacked with all their might. JUPITER THUNDERCLAP ZAP! VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE! MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY! MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND! MOON SCEPTER ELIMINATION! Tuxedo Mask also threw his deadly roses at the youma.They fought hard and together destroyed the monster. "Sailor scouts!" shouted Tuxedo Mask, "I will keep your identities secret if you do the same for me. Thay quickly agreed. But before they could even ask his real name, he disappeared in a flash of cape, leaving a rose at Sailor Moon's feet. Serena stood there wondering if she would ever see him again. Little did she know what destiny had in mind for her. Amy, who had been quiet while the others puzzeled over Tuxedo Mask, spoke up after a series of beeps from her computer. "According to my calculations, I believe the Negaverse may plan a suprise attack at the ball. "We must protect you Princess," Mercury replied while looking at Sailor Moon."I think we should go to the ball in our scout forms." If only we could contact Tuxedo Mask, Serena thought to herself. The next morning Serena woke and dressed in her favorite pink sundress, Luna had said her mother wanted to see her in the royal dining room immediatly. Serena rushed to the dining room to see her mother. She had been dreaming about the dashing Tuxedo Mask and feared she was already half in love with him. Her eyes widened and a soft smile played across her features when she saw him and a lady talking to her mother. He turned towards her and gasped. It was the beautiful maiden! Their eyes met and held. "There you are Serena," Queen Serenity chided. "I would like you to meet Queen Terra and her son ,Prince Darien. And I'd like your majesties to meet my daughter, Princess Serenity. Darien stepped forward, bowed, and kissed Serena's hand. "Hello Serena," he replied. Queen Serenity looked at this with a smile and said, "Serena could you please show our guests around the palace and grounds. By then Serena and Darien had fallen the rest of the way in love, thoughts of proving their parents wrong forgotten. Serena spent the day showing them around as they all talked about themselves. It was just getting dark when the Queen excused herself, leaving Serena and Darien alone. Serena quickly led Darien to the gardens, making sure they were alone, and told him of their suspicians of an attack and asked if he would fight with them. He agreed and they watched the stars together. They soon went their own ways ,as it was getting late. Serena spent the night tossing and turning, thinking that the prince didn't share her feelings and would forget about her when he returned home at the end of the week. Finally, when she couldn't sleep anymore she went out into the garden and watched the Earth, trying to sort out her feelings. She didn't hear the footsteps behind her when a monster grabbed her from behind.She could only get out one scream before it's hand covered her mouth and pinned her arms to her sides.It was big and harry with a horn on each side of it's head.It's wicked smile showed off a pair of sharp, yellow stained teeth. There was a glittering black jewel in the middle of it's forehead. Darien had been having nightmares when Serena was attacked. He awoke with a start, feeling that Serena was in danger. His heart wrenched at the thought of someone hurting his princess. He quickly transformed and slipped out into the night. Serena fought and kicked, hoping Darien would somehow hear her cry for help. Just when she was about to give up, a rose flew through the air striking the monster between the eyes. In the next instant all that was left of it was dust. Serena cried in relief and threw herself into Darien's arms and held tight. " I knew you would come," she whispered. "I'll always be there to protect you Princess." Serena, who was so distraught, passed out and woke up the next morning in her room. Serena's friends rushed in worried about her. After assuring them she was okay she told them about Prince Darien and her feelings for him. They began talking about the ball, getting more excited by the minute.All the scouts agreed she should tell him how she felt at the ball, when she turned eighteen. When the time for the ball had arrived, they quickly transformed.(No one would suspect them. Remember, it's a costume ball.) Meanwhile Darien had come to the decision that he should tell Serena his feelings. He transformed and went off to the ball. The ball was spectacular. People were dressed up like stuff only imagined. Sailor Moon and the sailor scouts had arrived and spread out to look out for Negaverse creeps. Sailor Moon was wandering through the dancing couples when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.She turned and found herself staring into Darien's deep blue eyes. He had changed into Tuxedo Mask. Darien handed her a rose and asked her to dance. Their hearts were racing. They were the perfect couple and anyone with eyes could see that they were in love. No one knew them and yet everyone puzzeled over who the mysterious couple was. Slowly, Darien lowered his head, pressing his lips to Serena's in a tender kiss. A crash broke them apart and they turned to see Queen Beryl hurling a ball of dark energy at the people."Stop where you are! I am Sailor Moon. I fight for love and justice. In the name of the moon I will punish you!" cried Serena. "Why don't you just give up and bow down to your new master? You can't beat me!" Beryl said cruelly. "Never!" shouted Sailor Moon. "Then you will die!" Beryl snarled. The sailor scouts attacked. VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE!MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND! MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY! JUPITER THUNDER CLAP ZAP! One by one they fought with all their might,but they were all taken down until all that was left was Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon was already weak and didn't have much energy left. Beryl hurled a deadly crystal spike at Sailor Moon and laughed with wicked glee. Darien saw the attack and dove in front of Serena , taking the blow.The spike peirced his heart cruelly. "Noooooo!" cried Serena. "Darien! No, don't leave me. Please.....I love you!" "I love you ,Serena. Please be brave. I'll find a way back to you Serena ," whispered Darien as death finally claimed him. Serena's cry of anguish could be heard throughout the ballroom. All of the sudden white light shot from the silver crystal and enveloped Darien and the sailor scouts. It soon became so bright that it was blinding. Beryl stared in shock. When the light cleared there stood Serenity in her princess form, Prince Darien, and the Sailor Scouts. "So, you healed them, did you?" Beryl said bitingly, "Prepare for your final death sailor brats!" "I'm gonna vaporize you!" shouted Princess Serenity. "Jupiter Power! Venus Power! Mars Power! Mercury Power!" shouted the Sailor Scouts. Their power flowed into the crystal, giving it more power. Finally, Serena shouted," Cosmic Moon Power!" Bright light once again flooded the room and when it cleared all that was left of Beryl was moondust. Serena collapsed into Darien's arms with relief. Finally, she straightened and looked into his love filled eyes, drowning in their warmth. "We'll always be together," she promised and they sealed that promise with a kiss. The End
