Hey well this is my 4th fic but I haven't finished the others coz I get distracted real easy so yeah well anyway. Um ok yeah I was reading this fic by angelerika and what she did was ask a question at the start of her fic and get people to email their answers so that is what I'm gonna do. Ok so here it is. If you had a choice to be Sailor Moon (Serena) or Sailor Mars (Raye) which one would you chose and why? It is not very good question but hey I can't think of a good one. So anyway everyone read Alicia Blade's stuff and also Sailor Aldeeran their fics are really good. Send your comments and questions and flames (Argh) to me k. I love Email. Well on with the story I guess. Oh yeah this story is in my point of view, like Serena did this and Serena said that then grabbed some cream puffs. If there is any thought it'll be Serena's. DISCLAIMER: Sailor moon belongs to some really smart goddess who I PRAISE coz without sailor moon we would all be bored out of our minds and sitting around saying "dam I wish someone would create sailor moon coz now I have nothing to obsess about?" I think I'll stop now he he he. I'm not obsessed with sailor moon MUCH! Oh well here is the story. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ Secrets Bared By: Cher Email: Usachi_10@hotmail.com Rated: PG 13 (I know I'm gonna slip up so that is just in case.) ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ * Serena * "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" Serena rolled over in her bed. "Ungh what did you say Tuxedo Mask?" Serena mumbled half asleep. "I said BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!" "Oh shut up you stupid alarm Tuxedo mask is trying to tell me something." Serena screamed throwing her pillow at the bunny clock. "So Serena who is Tuxedo Mask?" Ilene said sticking her head in the door. "What mum? What time is it?" Serena moaned falling back onto the bed. "It's 6.30 in the morning Serena what on earth are you doing up now?" Ilene asked placing a hand on Serena's fore head. "Um I'm fine my alarm went off early I guess." Serena said standing. She rubbed her eyes before stumbling to the bathroom all the while mumbling about Beeps and a mask and moons. Serena stepped out of the bathroom. For once she was able to shower AND have breakfast before going to school. And she didn't have to race to school. Today she leisurely skipped along at her own pace. "Hmm this is going to be a very good day. I can?" WHACK! Serena sat on the concrete rubbing her head. "Hey Meatball head we've gotta stop running into each other like this." A laughing voice said above Serena. "Oh trust YOU to ruin my perfect day. Do you even know my name? It is Serena. Se-re-na you got that?" Serena said standing rubbing her butt. "Meat-ball-head. Sure I got that. Are you okay? You're out a little early." Darien said placing a hand on Serena's fore head. Serena batted his hand away angrily. "Don't touch me." She growled at him. "Oh well just make sure you direct your klutz attacks away from me next time." Darien said as he walked away. "Oh the nerve of that guy." Serena grumbled as she continued her walk to school. "Serena wait up!" A voice called out to Serena. Serena turned to see Lita waving to her. "Oh hey Leets whats up?" Serena asked smiling at her friend. "Oh nothing much. Hey what are you doing here?" Lita asked panting after the short run. "Earth to Lita I go to this school remember." Serena said laughing at her tall friend. "No silly I mean what are you doing here this early? It is only 8.00 school doesn't start for another half-hour." Lita said placing a hand on Serena's fore head. "Why is everyone feeling my head?" Serena said confusion clear in her eyes. "Serena it is just a little odd that you're here this early. You might be sick or something." Lita said. "Hey Lita who's your friend." A small voice said from behind the two girls. They both turned to see Ami standing shyly behind them. "Ames it's me." Serena said hurt that her friend didn't recognize her. "Oh my. Oh hang on. Alright you imposter who are you and what did you do with my friend?" Ami demanded angrily. "Ames it is me. My name is Serena Tsukino I'm 14 years old and I attend ninth grade at crossroads junior high school." Serena said agitatedly. Ami placed her hand on Serena's fore head. "Are you sure you're ok Serena?" Ami asked cautiously. "YES IT IS ME CAN'T I COME TO SCHOOL ON TIME WITHOUT ANYONE FEELING MY HEAD?" Serena screamed earning herself many looks from different students passing by. "Heh heh. Um come on lets go." Serena said nervously. Serena dragged her two friends around to the back of the school. "So Serena why are you early anyway?" Ami asked cautiously "Well I don't know someone must have set my alarm earlier or something. So I just got up." Serena said twirling some grass underneath her. "Oh Serena Raye rang me last night to tell me that we're having a scout meeting this afternoon at?" "Her temple yeah yeah she mentioned something about it the other day." Serena mumbled. "No we're having it at the park coz Chad's singing is driving her insane." Lita said. "Ha! Anything will drive that pyro insane." Serena said laughing. "RRRIINNGG!" "Oh there is the first bell." Ami said standing. The three girls walked leisurely to their classroom. As Serena stepped through the door she noticed that there were only two other students in the classroom. "Hello Ami, Lita, Seren?" Miss Haruna stopped mid sentence her mouth wide open. "S?Serena what are you doing here?" Miss Haruna asked after recovering from her obvious shock. "I am in your class Miss H." Serena said. Miss Haruna walked over to Serena and placed a hand on her fore head. "Your temperature is fine. You haven't got any symptoms?" Miss Haruna asked. "No. Is it a problem that I'm on time." Serena said agitated. She sat in her usual seat and stared at the board. "Are you sure you're ok? You don't want to see the nurse or anything?" Miss Haruna asked. "NO I'M FINE!" Serena screamed. Miss Haruna turned and walked briskly towards the blackboard. Mumbling something about never in her life. And she must be dreaming. Serena sat through class staring out the window. "Serena are you listening?" Serena continued to dream about tuxedo mask. "SERENA!" A sharp voice interrupted her. "What yeah um x equals ym squared." Serena said snapping to attention. She tried to ignore the giggles that erupted from her peers. "Serena we were doing algebra an hour ago. We have now moved on to history. Please pay more attention." Miss Haruna said sternly. "Yes miss." Serena mumbled. "I knew it was too good to be true." Miss H said under her breath. Serena sighed and tried to listen to miss H's rambling. Serena, Lita and Ami stepped from the school at 3.01p.m exactly "So you guys wanna go to the arcade or somethin?" Serena asked excitedly. "Uh hello Serena we have a scout meeting remember." Lita said waving a hand in front of Serena's face. "Oh Shi?" "My thoughts exactly." Lita said cutting off Serena's colorful use of language. "Come on lets go." Ami said impatiently. The three girls walked off towards the park happily. "Hey Lita, Ami, Meatball hea?" Raye said looking up from her homework. She was sitting at a park bench with several books scattered around her. "Serena what are you doing here this early?" Raye asked. "I didn't have detention cause I wasn't late today." Serena said getting sick of the whole fiasco. "You mean you've been early all day?" Raye asked practically screaming. She reached up to place a hand on Serena's fore head. "Your temperature is fine. You sure you're ok?" Raye asked. Serena sat opposite Raye and sighed. "Yes Raye I'm fine. Is it really that unusual that I'm early for once?" Serena said her eyes cast to the ground. "Well yeah Meatball head. You're so unreliable that it shocks everyone to see you early. For once." Raye said smiling smugly. "Oh shut up pyro." Serena said. "WHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Serena bawled her eyes out. "Hey Serena cool it. It isn't that bad." Lita said plopping down next to Serena. "OH MY GOD IS THAT REALLY SERENA?" Mina screamed running up to the four girls. "Serena what the hell are you doing here?" Mina screamed. "I am early so what." Serena mumbled. Mina placed a hand on Serena's fore head. Serena slid away from the oncoming hand. "Could everyone please stop touching my head." Serena said softly. "Oh I'm sorry Serena. It's just that?" "I know Mina. I'm always late and it is unusual." Serena groaned. "Ok enough chit chat Serena where is Luna?" Raye asked snapping her books shut and throwing them into her book bag. Serena couldn't help but notice Ami wince as the books were thrown so carelessly into the little black bag. "Come to think of it I haven't seen Luna all day." Serena said realizing her little black fur ball was missing. "Oh my now that you mention it I haven't seen Artemis at all either." Mina said chewing her fingernail. "Relax girls we are fine." Luna said as she jumped on the little picnic table. Artemis soon following. "Luna just where have you been?" Serena said sternly. "I've been checking out a place down town. It had some really strong nega energy there so Artemis and I checked it out. We figured that they are either planning an attack there or it is some kind of portal to the negaverse." Luna said. The five girls gasped at the last sentence. "Oh my do you think that I could scan it with my computer?" Ami asked Luna. "Sure I was just gonna suggest that." Artemis said. "Maybe you should scan Meatball head to see why she is so early." Raye said. "Hey pyro I was early cause some idiot set my alarm an hour early." Serena said sticking her tongue out at Raye. "Actually Serena that idiot was me. I had to leave early and couldn't stick around to get you out of bed so I set your alarm early." Luna said proudly. "Oh thank you Luna." Serena said sarcastically. "Ok so Artemis you think we should check out this place with Ami's computer?" Lita said. "Yeah do you think we should go know?" Mina asked twirling a strand of blonde hair between her fingers. "I think that is a very good idea." Luna said. With that the five girls plus two cats stood and walked towards the mall. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ "So Luna you say that this spot has very strong energy?" Ami asked furiously tapping keys on her computer. "Yes that's right. Just over there." Luna said nodding her head in the direction of the ice cream parlor. "I'm getting some very strong Nega readings. This is not good you guys. IT seems like they have over run everything." "What do you mean Ames?" Serena asked nervously chewing her fingernail. "It means they have set a trap for a certain time. To steal peoples energy." Ami said triumphantly. "Oh so they're gonna come out when there is a whole lot of people around and take their energy." Raye said touching the ground with the palm of her hand. "Yeah I sense an evil force here." Raye said. "They had to choose the ice cream store didn't they." Serena grumbled. "Serena will you be serious for one sec?" "ARGH IT'S A MONSTER RUN FOR IT!" A man screamed running past them. "Quick over here." Mina yelled over the screaming crowd. "Hurry girls transform!" Artemis said. "MOON PRISM POWER!" "MARS POWER!" "MERCURY POWER!" "JUPITER POWER!" "VENUS POWER!" The girls transformed into the scouts and ran hurriedly back to the monster. The monster was a tall fat slimy thing with yellow fangs protruding out of its open mouth. "Give me your energy!" The monster screamed. "Hold it right there nega blob." Sailor Moon said. "I am sailor moon. Champion of love and justice. I will right wrongs and triumph over evil. And that means you." Sailor moon said. "No one talks to me like that. Prepare to meet your doom Sailor simps." The monster yelled. It launched some energy towards Mercury and Mars. The two scouts dove for cover as the slimy goo flew towards them. "Argh Sailor Moon do something." Mars said as the slime coated her left foot. Eating away at the red vinyl shoe. "MOON TIARRA?." The monster swiftly turned and prepared to throw some slime at Moon. "Hey forget about it Nega slime. JUPITER THUNDER CRASH!" Sailor Jupiter yelled. She threw her thunder at the monster. It absorbed all her energy and threw it back at moon. "AHH GET IT AWAY I HATE THUNDER! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sailor Moon screamed as the lightening flew towards her. It was only a few feet away when a rose came and destroyed the lightening. "Sailor Moon I believe in you." Tuxedo Mask said from a tree branch. "Oh he is so dreamy." Sailor moon said with hearts in her eyes. "MOON TIARRA MAGIC!" Moon threw her Tiara at the blob and it crumbled to dust. "Oh you will pay for that Sailor Moon." A voice said from above. Zoicite was floating above them. "I will defeat you sailor failures." She yelled before disappearing into thin air. "Well done Sailor scouts. I knew you could do it." Tuxedo Mask said he to disappeared into the air. "Oh why doesn't he ever stick around?" Sailor Moon said disappointedly. "Oh god Sailor Moon can't you concentrate for one second?" Mars asked rubbing her foot gingerly. "That women. I've never seen her before what was her name?" Mercury asked once again tapping away on her computer. "She didn't say but I'm guessing she is from the Negaverse." Venus said. "Come on you guys lets de-transform and go to the arcade." Moon said running into a nearby alley. The four other girls hastily followed and powered down. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ * Darien * "Hey Darien whats up?" A sandy blonde asked standing behind the counter of the arcade. "Hey Andrew nothing much." Darien said with a huge grin spread across his lips. "Ok whats going on?" Andrew asked as Darien took his usual spot on the stool in front of Andrew. "What makes you think something is going on?" Darien asked his grin widening. "Well it's just that you have that loopy grin on your face. You never have that loopy grin unless you're in lov?" Andrew looked up at Darien. "Oh my god. So who is the lucky girl then?" Andrew asked elbowing his best friend playfully. "Nah I can't tell you. You'll think I'm crazy or somethin." Darien said looking down at the steaming coffee Andrew placed before him. WHACK! "Ow man what the hell was that for?" Darien said rubbing his arm. "Don't you know that you should never keep secrets from your best friend." Andrew said pretending to look hurt. "Oh alright then. This girl was in trouble today and I saved her and I feel really good so lay off me ok." Darien said stirring the coffee with his spoon. "Oh so you're not gone on anyone?" Andrew said a little dissapointed. "Hey if anyone should be upset it is me." Darien said. "Sorry man its just that. Well you could really use a girl in your life right about now." Andrew said with true concern shining through his eyes. "Whoa Andrew don't be so serious. I'm fine really. The right girl will come when the time is right." Darien said touched that his friend cared so much for him. "So how's Rita?" Darien asked wanting to change the subject. Darien knew what was coming. He would have to sit here and listen to Andrew babble about his girlfriend in Africa for ages. Darien thought he could hear the bells of the arcade door ring in the back of his mind as he listened to Andrews continues chatter. "So she's coming next week to visit." Andrew finished abruptly. "Well looks like I've got some customers." Andrew said walking around the counter. Darien turned to see five girls bustle into the arcade. Darien recognized Serena, Raye and they're friends. Raye was leaning on Serena's shoulder her left foot dragging limply behind her. Darien watched as the five tired girls sat in the corner booth talking excitedly. He watched Andrew walk over to the five exhausted girls and took their orders. After a bit of chitchat Andrew came back to prepare the orders. "Hey Andrew what was wrong with them?" Darien asked his best friend. Andrew finished making a triple chocolate shake (AN: It's for Serena DUH!) and placed it on a tray. "What do you mean?" Andrew asked making three strawberry shakes. "Well they all look so tired and Raye was limping." Darien said watching Andrew fill up a glass with water and ice. "Oh I don't know they didn't say. Why don't you ask them." Andrew said lifting the tray and walking towards the corner booth. Darien stood and followed Andrew to where the girls sat. "Hey Raye whats wrong with your foot?" Darien asked as he stood next to Andrew. "Oh I got hit in the monster attack. That blob threw some goo at me and it burnt my whole foot." Raye said smiling. "Oh you were there?" Darien asked. "Yeah we were checking out the new ice cream parlor and bam we got hit by slime." The girl with long blonde hair said sipping at her strawberry shake. "Oh hey I'm Darien." Darien said realizing he didn't know the other three girls. "I'm Mina, and this is Lita and Ami. And from what I've heard you already know Raye and Serena." Mina said pointing to the girl with chestnut hair and then to the girl with blue hair. "Oh nice meeting you. Bye girls. I hope your foot gets better Raye. Try not to fail anymore tests meatball head." Darien said laughing as he walked back to his seat. "Oh you jerk just shut up I don't fail all my tests." Serena yelled after him receiving many looks from other customers. "Oh the nerve of that idiot." Serena muttered under her breath. Darien resumed his seat and began to sip his coffee. "Oh man you so gotta lay off her." Andrew said putting some dirty dishes into the sink. "Who are you talking about?" Darien asked innocently. "Oh don't play dumb with me. Serena she is the sweetest girl I know. She wouldn't hurt a fly and here you are constantly teasing her." Andrew said with disapproving look in his eyes. "Whoa calm down man." Darien said raising his hands defensively. Darien finished his coffee and said good bye to Andrew. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ * Serena * Serena walked through the park slowly. She ignored the flowers that bloomed along the side of the path. She just wanted to go home. She was extremely tired from the monster attack and then the incident with Darien all she wanted to do was go home and sleep. She usually would stop and smell every new flower. She usually took her shoes off and dangled her feet in the small brook. She usually walked up her secret path that led to a beautiful garden filled with flowers and trees. She usually sat in her secret garden for hours but something about this afternoon was different. Serena felt extremely uneasy. 'It must be Darien.' She thought to herself. But the feeling wouldn't leave. Her stomach churned as she felt less at ease as more time passed. Serena arrived home earlier than usual and headed straight up the stairs. "Serena you're home early don't you want some dinner or something?" Ilene asked. "No thanks mum I'm just really tired and wanna sleep ok." Serena mumbled. "Are you sure you're ok?" Ilene said from the bottom of the stairs. "I'm fine mum nothing to worry about I just need to sleep." Serena said continuing to her room. "Hello Serena how is Raye?" Luna asked as Serena opened the door to her room. "She's good her foot is completely burnt though." Serena said as she changed into her nightclothes. "Serena is something wrong you seem down." Luna said as Serena undid her meatballs. "I'm fine Luna just a little tired. Although there is one thing." Serena said kneeling down so she could face her cat. "What is it Serena?" Luna asked anxiously. "Well it's just that I have this really uneasy feeling in my stomach like something is really wrong. I thought it was just Darien teasing me but I think something is wrong." Serena said concern filled her eyes. "Yes I know what you are talking about. You know that women that came after we killed the monster? Well she is a Negaverse general, like Jadeite and Nephlyte her name is Zoicite and I think she is very powerful." Luna said worriedly. "Oh Luna how did you find this out?" Serena asked. "Ami did a scan on her computer." Luna said. "Oh wow I feel so much better thanks Luna." Serena said. Serena stood and switched the light off before diving into her bed. "Night Luna." Serena yawned. Luna listened to Serena's peaceful snores before falling asleep herself. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ "Alright lazy bones it is time for you to get out of bed." Luna said jumping onto Serena's chest. "Ow Luna watch where you're jumping. And do you have to wake me so early it is only Saturday and what is the time anyway?" Serena mumbled looking at her bunny clock. "Oh my god 9.00 I'm sposed to be meeting Rei and Lita and Mina at 9.00. Luna why didn't you wake me up?" Serena screamed pulling her hair up. She slipped into a short summer dress and threw her shoes on. "Bye Luna." "Serena don't forget your purse." Luna called. She heard the heavy THUMP THUMP THUMP before Serena snatched her small purse off her desk. "Bye Luna." Serena called out to her. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ "Hey guys sorry I'm late Luna didn't wake me." Serena said between breaths. She had just run from her house to the arcade in less than 5 mins. "It's ok meatball brains we were expecting it." Rei said. "Hey where's Ames?" Serena said looking around. "She's out in the country with some guy called Greg or something. He is some kind of really smart guy or something." Lita said brushing some bangs out of her eyes. "Ok lets go we have some serious shopping to do." Mina said grabbing Lita's and Rei's arm and dragging them in the direction of the mall. Serena skipped happily along behind them. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ "Oh wow I haven't spent that much money in ages." Raye said with an armful of bags. "Yeah tell me about it." Mina said dumping her bags on the ground beside them. The four girls sat underneath a large cherry blossom tree in the park. "This park is so beautiful." Lita said looking around her. "Yeah it is isn't it." Raye said. "Not as nice as your temple Raye." Serena said remembering the many scout meetings they hold at Raye's temple. "You know that is the only intelligent thing that has come out of your big mouth all day Meatball head." Raye said snickering. "Hey no fair Raye I didn't do anything and you lash out at me like that. You're just as bad as that big ouf Darien." Serena said sticking her tongue out at Raye. This started an all out tongue war. Lita sighed and pulled the girls apart. "I'm hurt Meatball head do you think I'm a big ouf?" A deep voice asked from behind them. The four girls all turned to see Darien standing behind them. They noticed Darien pouting slightly. "Oh I don't need this. My name is Serena can you say Serena? Or are you just mentally impaired?" Serena scoffed at the tall handsome man before her. "Impaired. That is the first big word I have ever heard you say Meatball head I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't know what that meant." Darien said walking away. "Oh the world would be a much better place if he weren't on it." Serena said ripping out tufts of grass around her. At that moment a small beep was emitting from Serena's pocket. Serena pulled out her communicator guessing who it was. "Hey Ames whats wrong?" Serena said into her communicator. "Serena are you with the others?" Ami asked. "Yeah why what is it?" Serena said. "No time to explain just all of you get out here now." Ami said frantically. "Sure Ames we'll be there." Serena said a little confused. After Ami gave her the address Serena told the others of the dilemma. "Ok so Ami is in the country we need to get there but how? We can't run it would take us the rest of the day." Raye said biting her nails nervously. "We could catch a cab." Lita suggested. "No that would cost too much. And we can't drive there. Our parents can't drive us cause they would be suspicious." Mina said looking around. "Hey over there." Raye said excitedly pointing to four police horses. "Oh no way Raye you have got to be kidding me." Serena said. "Come on it is the only way." Raye said standing. "But what about our bags and everything?" Mina said looking sadly at her new purchases. "There's Darien I'll go give them to him he can look after them till we get back." Raye said gathering all the shopping bags. "But we can't just steal the horses they're police horses do you know how much trouble we could get into? And besides I can't ride in this little dress. I can't even ride a horse." Serena whined. "Well transform. The cops will understand if we're the scouts. And riding a horse is easy Meatball brains." Raye said rushing to catch up with Darien. Serena sighed and ran behind a tree Mina and Lita following behind her. "MOON PRISM POWER!" "JUPITER POWER!" "VENUS POWER!" The three girls transformed and waited for Raye to return. "He said we can pick them up tomorrow. MARS POWER!" Raye sad as she transformed. The four girls looked at each other and hurried to the four horses standing near the road. Mars and Jupiter jumped onto their horses easily but Moon and Venus had a little more trouble. As they were struggling to mount the horses the four policemen noticed the strange looking girls trying sitting on their horses. "Hey what the hell do you think you're doing?" A large officer asked. Sailor Moon had just struggled atop her horse and sat there puffing. "Uh excuse us but we really need your horses it is an emergency." Mars said holding the reins tightly. Sailor Venus was still trying to get on her horse with no great results. "Hey can someone help me I've never ridden a horse before." Venus said standing on the ground looking at the horse confused. Jupiter sighed and jumped down from her horse and boosted Venus up onto hers. "Hey aren't you the Sailor scouts?" The smaller police officer asked. "That's right and we really need your horses it is an extreme emergency." Moon said agitated. "Uh sure go ahead I guess." The bigger one said. With that Jupiter and Mars kicked the sides of the horses lightly and they took off rather fast. "Oh that is so mean I can't kick a horse." Moon said looking at the sides of her horse. "Oh come on Sailor Moon if they can do it we can do it." Sailor Venus said kicking the sides of the horse she was on. It bolted forward and Sailor moon watched as Venus tilted to the side and bobbed up and down on the top of her horse. "Oh well here goes nothing." Moon said as she lightly kicked the side of her horse. She held onto the reins with her life as the horse sped off in the direction the other scouts went. "OH MY GOD!" Sailor Moon screamed as she approached Venus. Venus was still having trouble with her horse. She was wriggling around side to side as the horse cantered along the footpath. "Sailor Moon I'm gonna fall off in a second." Venus screamed. "Just hold on real tight like me." Sailor moon said as she held tightly bouncing up and down. The two scouts rode side by side shakily. They approached Mars and Jupiter in the middle of the path and tried to stop the horses. "How do you stop these things?" Venus screamed as she flew past Mars and Jupiter, Moon did the same, as she didn't know how to stop her horse either. "STOP! STOP! STOP!" Sailor Moon screamed. "No meatball brains it is whoa." Sailor mars said. "WHOA!" Moon screamed. Her horse stopped abruptly nearly sending moon flying over its head. "WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!" Venus screamed and her horse did the same but Venus actually did fly over the top of its head she landed on her butt and began to cry. "See told you it was easy." Mars said with a grin. Sailor moon looked at her shaking. Venus stood up rubbing her bum. "EASY! YOU THINK THAT WAS EASY? I'M NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO SIT FOR A WEEK!" Venus screamed at Mars. "That was fun." Jupiter said grinning. "That was not fun. It wasn't easy. That scared the crap out of me." Moon said softly. "Oh Venus get back on your horse. We have to get to Ami." Mars said as she snapped the reins and took off. Jupiter did the same and trailed close behind Mars. At this stage there were a number of people watching as their beloved scouts * tried * to ride horses. Several people were snickering at moon and Venus. "Shut up all of you or we'll let the monsters suck you dry of energy." Venus said as she jumped onto her horse more easily than before. The crowd fell silent and watched in awe as Sailor Moon and Venus rode side by side until they caught up with Mars and Jupiter. At that stage the large city high rises were thinning and there were more country houses. Moon and Venus were just getting the hang of riding when suddenly they stopped. "Ok Sailor Moon where do we have to go?" Mars asked. "How the hell should I know?" Moon said patting her horse's head. "BECAUSE YOU IDIOT, AMI GAVE YOU THE ADDRESS!" Mars screamed in agitation. "Oh you don't have to yell." Moon said. She pulled a little slip of paper from her skirt where she had scrawled down the address that Ami gave her. "It is 103 Oakendale St. Ames said that it was a big old country house with heaps of paddocks." Moon said. "Oh great Serena every house here is big and old and a country house with lots of paddocks." Mars said agitatedly. "Hey relax Mars we'll find it. If me and Moon can ride a horse we can find this place." Venus said smiling. Mars slumped her shoulder and snapped the reins of her horse. The other three did the same and soon they were riding past less and less houses. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ * Darien * "Hey Darien wait up Darien." A voice said behind him. Darien turned to see Raye jog up to him with her arms full of shopping bags. "Hey Raye whats up?" Darien asked smiling. "Oh um could you do me a huge favor?" Raye asked Darien with a huge smile on her face. "Sure whatever you want." Darien said smiling at the girl before him. Raye dumped all the shopping bags into his arms. "Can you please look after these for me and the others till tomorrow. We? uh something important came up and we have to go somewhere." Raye said nervously looking around. "Uh sure I guess. You can pick them up tomorrow. Oh by the way how is your foot?" Darien asked. "It's great. Thanks Darien I'll see you tomorrow then." Raye said as she ran off. Darien looked at the several bags in his arms with a confused look on his face. He sighed and headed back to his apartment. He got to his door and struggled to open it with his full arms. Finally the door swung open and Darien dumped all the bags onto his couch. "Man those girls really know how to shop." Darien said to himself shaking his head he made himself a cup of coffee and stepped onto his balcony. He could hear yelling below him and peered over the railings. What he saw made him laugh. Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter sat atop a police horses each. While Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus struggled onto the other horses. Darien couldn't help but burst into laughter. 'That Sailor Moon reminds me of Meatball head. What a klutzy girl.' Darien laughed to himself. 'I wonder what they could be doing must be a publicity stint.' Darien laughed even harder when Moon and Venus took off on their horses flopping side to side as the horses sped off. Darien turned and walked back inside to read the paper. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ Darien was deeply engrossed in a physics textbook. It had been about an hour since he had seen the scouts struggling on the horses. Darien chuckled to himself as he remembered Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus struggling on the horses. But his chuckle was cut short when he got the familiar feeling in his heart. It tore at his insides. It was like someone was continuously screaming inside him. "SHE IS IN TROUBLE! SAVE HER NOW!" Darien stood and quickly transformed into Tuxedo Mask. He rushed out the door into the garage of his apartment block. He jumped on his motorcycle. Something kept gnawing on his insides. 'She's at 103 Oakendale St.' Tuxedo Mask knew that that was way out in the country so he knew he would need his bike. He started the motor and tore out into the street. He maneuvered the bike threw traffic and sped towards the countryside. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ * Ami * "Greg this place is so beautiful. I'm so glad you invited me here." Ami said looking at the countryside around her. "Actually Ami there is something kinda important I need to tell you." Greg said staring intently into Ami's deep blue eyes. "What is it Greg?" Ami asked searching his own eyes. "Uh Ami I think you should sit down." Greg said he watched Ami sit on a small log. She patiently waited for him to continue. "Ok where to start. Well first things first. I know that you are Sailor Mercury. And I also know that your friends are the other scouts." Ami gasped at what he said. She opened her mouth to speak but Greg cut her off. "You'll find out how I know. You see Ami I have these premonitions some times. And I had one of you and your friends here fighting me. You see Ami you are searching for the silver crystal and to obtain that crystal you need to find the seven rainbow crystals. The rainbow crystals are embedded inside seven people. I am one of those seven people. That Zoicite is going to come here today and take the crystal from me and turn me into a monster." Greg said looking at Ami cautiously. "Oh my. She can't have the crystal we need it." Ami said. "Yes that is why you need to call your friends it is an emergency Ami. You can't let Zoicite get the crystal." Ami nodded and pulled out her small communicator. She talked to Serena and when they finished she snapped it shut. Greg sat beside her and placed an arm around Ami's shoulder. "Ami I want you to know that whatever Zoicite turns me into I will always be on your side." Greg said solemnly Ami nodded dumbly. The two chatted for about another hour when they saw four sailor scouts approach them. Each one sat atop a police horse. Ami's mouth dropped open when her friends approached. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ * Serena * "Look there I think that sign says Oakendale." Serena said squinting. She snapped the reins harder and her horse sped forward past the others. "Hey slow down Sailor Moon you might fall off." Jupiter said. "No way this is a cinch. It's like riding a bike down the?" Sailor moon flew off her horse and landed on her butt. "Owie. That really hurt." Sailor moon cried standing. She rubbed her butt gingerly before reaching for her horse. Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter laughed at Sailor Moon sitting on the ground. "Hey you guys it's not funny that really hurt." Sailor Moon said jumping back on her horse. "It's ok Serena I know how you feel." Venus said rubbing her own bum still sore from her previous fall. "Yup Oakendale. So now we just have to find number 103. I bet it is way down the end." Sailor moon said as she and the others rode down the country road. After about 20 minutes of riding they finally reached 103. "Finally we have been riding for almost an hour." Venus said agitated. The four girls rode up the ruble driveway and jumped off their horses. Sailor moon knocked on the door but there was no answer. "Maybe they're around the back." Jupiter said as she jumped back on her horse. The others did the same and they all rode around the back. Sure enough Ami and Greg sat together on a small log. The four scouts rode up to where they sat. Sailor moon jumped off her horse and ran to Ami. "Ames are you ok?" She asked wrapping her friend in a tight hug. "I'm fine but you need to tie those horses up." Ami said pointing to a fence. "Ok guys lets go tie these babies up." Jupiter said leading her horse towards the wooden fence. The four scouts walked over to Ami and Greg. "Ok Ames whats the big emergency?" Sailor Moon asked standing next to her companions. Ami told them of what Greg had said and how they had to stop Zoicite. "Oh my god you guys this sounds serious." Sailor Moon said. "Ok first things first. Ami transform. Greg I think you should be out of sight." Mars said pointing to the house. "Maybe you should go hide there." Mars said. "No there's no use she will find me wherever I go. It is best if you are just here by my side." Greg said. The six of them chatted for awhile until sure enough Zoicite appeared. "Wha? what are you Sailor failures doing here?" Zoicite asked nervously. "Oh well might as well get rid of you all at once." She said. "But first I want that crystal." Zoicite pulled out a black crystal and pointed it at Greg. Sailor Mercury lunged herself in front of Greg. "Ami no don't do it." Greg yelled. He pushed Mercury out of the way and let the crystal fly from his body. "Greg no don't." Sailor Mercury screamed. The scouts watched as Greg transformed into a super monster. "Now kill these annoying sailor scouts." Zoicite yelled. Sailor moon looked at the huge monster that stood before her. It had large scissors instead of hands and looked very frightening. "Oh my god." Sailor Venus said with her mouth hanging open. "GET THEM!" Zoicite yelled. The monster turned to the group of scouts and advanced toward them. "MOON TIARA MAGIC!" Sailor moon threw her tiara but the monster ducked and continued his assault. "OH MY GOD RUN!" Sailor moon screamed running to a tree. "Everybody split up." Mercury said as she ran to a bale of hay. "Try not to hurt him too much." She said shrilly. Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus hid together behind the barn and Sailor mars was out in the open. "MARS FIRE IGNITE!" Sailor mars blasted the monster but it absorbed her attack. Sailor Mars gave up and ran behind an abandon wagon. "YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME SAILOR SPORES!" The monster screamed. "Sailor moon take this and use it to turn the monster back into Greg." Luna yelled over the sounds of battle. "Luna how did you get here?" Sailor moon said. "I followed you. Duh!" Luna said. She did a back flip and the crescent wand came out of the arch. "Thanks Luna." Sailor moon said running from the tree. "I am Sailor Moon champion of love and justice and in the name of the moon I shall punish you." Sailor moon said. "MOON HEALING ACTIVATION!" She screamed. A burst of energy flew from her wand hitting the monster. Sailor moon watched intently as the monster screamed but got up. "Oh no Luna it didn't work." Sailor moon said standing in the open face to face with the monster. Suddenly Sailor Mercury ran from her hiding spot. "Greg don't do this. Remember we're your friends. We don't want to hurt you." Mercury said kneeling in front of him. "We aren't the enemy." Moon said behind Mercury. The monster stopped and turned to Zoicite. She held a yellow crystal in hand she was eyeing it proudly. "YOU ARE THE ENEMY!" The monster screamed. It threw some scissors at Zoicite knocking the crystal out of her hand. Tuxedo Mask jumped and caught the crystal. "No you fool destroy the scouts." Zoicite screamed. She held up her black crystal and blasted the monster. Suddenly the monster turned once again to Sailor Mercury and Sailor Moon. "Prepare to die Sailor saps." The monster screamed. Sailor Mercury dove out of the way leaving a crying Sailor moon facing the huge monster. The monster threw some razor sharp scissors toward sailor moon. "No don't." Sailor moon screamed. The scissors came closer and closer. Then a rose came and destroyed them all. Sailor moon turned to see Tuxedo Mask standing on the roof of the barn. "Oh thank you Tuxedo Mask." Sailor moon said. "VENUS CRESCENT BEAM SMASH!" A bright yellow light caught the monster by surprise and hit it at full force. "NNNNOOOOOOOO" the monster screamed. "Now Sailor moon!" Luna screamed. "Right. MOON HEALING ACTIVATION!" Sailor moon screamed. The monster flashed for a moment before turning back in to Greg. "Oh Greg you're ok!" Mercury exclaimed running up to him and wrapping him in a tight hug. "Huh what happened Ami?" Greg asked confused. "Nothing Greg we're all ok." Sailor Mercury said hugging him closer to her. "Oh you make me mad. Tuxedo Mask give me that crystal." Zoicite said from the air. "No way!" Tuxedo mask said. "Fine then I'll have to get it another time." Zoicite said turning away. "Oh that nega creep she really shi?" "Hey Sailor scouts good job. And such a convenient place." Tuxedo mask said sarcastically from his perch on the barn. "Tuxedo mask how did you know where to find us?" Sailor moon said with hearts in her eyes. "I knew that you were in danger and that my heart would lead me to you. I must go I have some bag sitting to do." He said as he turned briskly and disappeared. "What did he mean bag sitting?" Sailor Mars asked. "Oh my god did you hear what he said. He knew that I was in trouble and that his heart would lead him to me. Oh he's so dreamy." Sailor moon said jumping up and down. "Oh can it meatball brains we have to get these horses back." Sailor mars said. "Oh by the way you guys how did you get those horses?" Mercury asked powering down to Ami. "Oh it's a long story and we don't have much time." Venus said jumping onto her horse. "You coming or staying Ames?" Jupiter asked. "I'll stay with Greg he probably needs to be looked after some more." Ami said putting her arm around Greg. All the scouts smiled at how happy her friend was with Greg. "Oh Mars do we have to return as scouts. I never realized how itchy these leotards can be after a long time." Sailor moon whined scratching her belly. "Yes meatball brains if we returned as ourselves the cops would know who we were." Mars said. "Bye Ames." Mars said as she rode off. Venus followed and Jupiter waited for moon. "Stupid itchy costumes. My butt still hurts to." Sailor moon mumbled under her breath as she jumped on her horse. "See you tomorrow Ami nice meeting you Greg." Moon said riding away. They were riding along the highway when they saw Darien on his bike. "Hey mars isn't that Darien?" Jupiter called. "Oh yeah it is two." Mars said. As they passed Sailor Moon could have sworn he was laughing his head off. By the time they arrived back there was a big crowd of people waiting for them. There was even a crowd of reporters shooting heaps of questions. The crowd cheered as the scouts quieted them down. "As leader of the Sailor scouts all I have to say is. Your safety is at no risk. Oh and No comment." Sailor moon giggled. "I've always wanted to say that." She said shrugging. The scouts jumped onto a nearby roof and ran off. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ * Darien * Tuxedo Mask jumped down from the old barn house. "Gotta love those sailor scouts." He mumbled to himself. He powered down and jumped on his bike. Darien started the motor and sped off. Darien was enjoying the wind in his hair and the serenity of the ride when the Sailor scouts rode passed him. Darien burst out laughing when he realized why they were on horses. He noticed Sailor Mars looking at him with a slight smile on her face. Darien shrugged and rode off. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ * Serena * Serena woke up suddenly. She was breathing heavily. "Serena what is it?" Luna said from her cushion on the floor. "Huh? Oh nothing Luna I just had a bad dream or something." Serena said wiping the sweat from her brow. "Well in that case don't forget your meeting the others in half an hour." Luna said falling back asleep. "Oh my god I didn't sleep in. That's twice in one week." Serena said feeling her own fore head. Serena stood and put on her skirt and top. "Bye Luna you'll come if there's trouble I know you will." Serena said patting her cat. Serena raced down the stairs and headed for the Cherry Hill temple. "Hey Raye where's everyone else?" Serena said walking up the stairs. "Oh Mina and Lita called they can't come cause they're really tired and Ami is still in the country with Greg." Raye said sweeping up some rubbish. "Oh so it's just you and me then oh well it'll be fun we can?" "Raye you can't go out today I need you to stay and look after the temple." Raye's grandfather called. "Oh wow sorry Serena I can't come." Raye said. "Aw Raye but we were gonna go shopping. Oh and what about our stuff from yesterday?" Serena said with tears in her eyes. "Oh yeah. Well you can pick them up I guess. Here." Raye said scribbling down Darien's address. "But Raye he'll tease me and? Do I have to?" Serena whined. "Yes Meatball head you do." Raye said impatiently. "Oh fine have a good day." Serena said marching down the stairs. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ Serena sighed as she looked at the piece of paper in her hand. She looked up at the building again and then back at the piece of paper. "Well this must be it." She said sighing she stepped inside. Serena looked around and spotted the elevator. She stepped in and pressed 12. Serena waited anxiously to get to the 12th floor. Serena read the little piece of paper in her hand and walked down the hall. She finally reached number 21. Serena sighed and looked at the door in hatred. "I can't believe I'm doing this. Here goes nothing." Serena said to herself she raised her hand and knocked softly on the door. Serena waited impatiently all she could hear was silence. Serena knocked again a little more loudly. "Hold your horses (AN: Get it horses. Ha I'm so funny. Heh heh heh ok sorry I'll shut up now. Bye bye.) Jeez I'm coming." A deep voice could be heard on the other side of the door. Serena took a nervous breath in and waited for Darien to open the door. Serena closed her eyes and sighed. The door swung open and Serena snapped her eyes open. "Uh? Hello can I help you?" Darien asked impatiently. 'Wow he looks really tired. He looks really cute when he looks tired.' Serena said smiling. "Um? hi Darien I uh?" "Hey how'd you know my name? Who are you?" Darien said suspiciously. Serena realized that she hadn't put her meatballs in that morning. Instead she just left her hair hanging loosely around her shoulders. "It's me Darien. Serena." Serena said smiling a dazzling smile. Serena watched as Darien double blinked. "Oh wow Meatball head I didn't recognize you without the meatballs." Darien said smirking. "Darien don't call me that. Please." Serena said softly. "Sure I suppose I can't cause you haven't got your meatballs in." Darien said smiling an equally dazzling smile. This time it was Serena's turn to double blink. "So Serena what did you want. Tutoring? I could teach you how to not klutz out and pass test at the same time." Darien said laughing. "No fair Darien I came here trying to be nice and you constantly tease me FOR NO REASON!" Serena shrieked. "Woah lower the decibels Serena I'm only mucking around." Darien said. Serena pouted and stepped into his apartment. "Why don't you come in and look around." Darien said sarcastically as he watched the little angel wander around lost. "Serena is there a reason you came or do you just like to drop in while people try to sleep." Darien said yawning. Serena snapped around and realized that Darien was only wearing a long pair of silk pajama pants and no top. A slight blush creeped across Serena's cheeks. "Oh yeah I came to get our shopping." Serena said. "Oh that I thought Raye was picking them up." Darien said walking into another room. 'Man he has a good body. I wonder what it would feel like to run my hands through his soft hai? Serena snap out of it this is the guy that constantly calls you Meatball head.' "Earth to Serena. Hello Serena." Darien said waving a hand in front of her face. "Oh thanks Darien." Serena said grabbing the shopping. There were so many bags that they piled up above Serena's head. "Uh Serena do you wanna a little help or something?" Darien asked. Serena dumped all the bags on the floor. "I knew Raye should have picked these up I can't do anything right." Serena said dropping down next to the bags. Tears forming in her eyes. "I'm so sick of everyone telling me how dumb I am and how klutzy I can be and how unreliable I can be and how I shouldn't be the leader of the sco?" Serena cut herself off before she let out her life secret to the man that constantly teases her. Serena waited for Darien to start laughing but what he did surprised her. "Don't worry about Serena. You're special in other ways. You are always happy and always making other people happy. Everyone has their bad sides you just got a bit more than everyone else. But that's good because without them you wouldn't be you. When you walk into a room everyone feels your warmth Serena you are special. I know I tease you lots but it's just that I'm so jealous of your special qualities I pick at your few bad ones." Darien said rubbing her back. Serena looked up at him through her tears. "Oh Darien you really mean it?" Serena said sobbing. "Of course I do Serena. Now would you like me to help you carry those bags back to your house?" Darien said smiling. Serena smiled and stood up. "No thanks I can manage. Thanks Darien for everything." Serena said. Before she could stop herself she placed a light kiss on Darien's cheek. "Hey no problem Mea? uh Serena so I'll see you around." He said walking towards the door and opening it for her. Serena turned and smiled. She had all the bags in her arms and you could just see her mouth. Darien laughed and waved good bye. "Wow I didn't know he could be nice." Serena said to herself standing in the elevator. Serena smiled inwardly at the taste of his soft skin. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ * Darien * Darien was asleep in his bed. He was having the dream that he always had. The princess was telling him to get the crystal. "Who are you?" Darien called out. "Everything will be exclaimed when you find the crystal." Darien woke with a start. He heard a soft knock on the door and rolled over. " Oh man 10.00 I slept in." Darien groaned. He jumped out of bed and rubbed his eyes. Slowly he began to walk to the front door. There was another knock more urgent. "Hold your horses jeez I'm coming." Darien said. He stopped at his door and yawned. Darien arched his back and rubbed his eyes again. Darien opened his door and was taken aback at what he saw. A beautiful angel stood before him looking around nervously. "Uh? Hello can I help you?" Darien asked impatiently. Darien looked at the girl standing in his doorway. "Um? hi Darien I uh?" "Hey how'd you know my name? Who are you?" Darien said suspiciously. Darien looked at the girl and squinted trying to recognize who it was. "It's me Darien. Serena." Serena said smiling a dazzling smile. Darien felt himself double blink. "Oh wow Meatball head I didn't recognize you without the meatballs." Darien said smirking. Darien couldn't remember the rest of the conversation and before he knew it Serena was standing in his apartment. Darien was taken aback by Serena's beauty. 'When did she get this beautiful she is like an angel sent from heaven. I don't deserve to even look at her.' Darien thought to himself. Before he knew it Serena had kissed his cheek. She skipped out the door and Darien was left standing in shock. He gingerly rubbed the spot where Serena had kissed his cheek and smiled lightly. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ * Serena * "Hey Mina speaking how can I help you?" A chirpy voice said. "Hi Mina it's Serena." Serena said happily. "Oh hey whats up Serena?" "Uh what are you doing tonight?" Serena said twirling the phone cord between her thumb and forefinger. "Tonight nothing why?" "Well I just got your shopping things off Darien and if it's alright with Leets I was kinda thinking we should have a sleep over at her apartment." Serena said. "Hey yeah that sounds wicked cool. How bout you ring Lita and then ring me back." Mina said. "Sure I'll talk to you soon." Serena said happily. Serena hung up the phone and lay back into her bed. "Oh Darien you are so sexy." She gushed to herself. After arranging with Lita and the others, Serena rushed to Lita's apartment. She had all the shopping bags plus her own overnight bag. Serena reached Lita's apartment and could already hear several squeals of laughter coming from the balcony. Serena pressed the doorbell and waited. "Hello." A laughing voice said on the other end. "Hey Leets it's me." Serena said into the speaker. "Oh hey Serena come on up." Serena stepped inside the building and walked up the stairs. Serena stopped in front of Lita's doorstep and knocked softly. "Coming Meatball head." A voice said from the opposite side of the door. The door swung open and four giggling girls stood looking at Serena. "Hey you guys I thought I said wait till I come until you start all your fun." Serena said frowning. "Sorry Serena we just got a little carried away, that's all. Ok come in put your stuff over there and then come on the balcony we're egging cars." Lita said smiling. Serena frowned in confusion and dumped her bags on the top of the pile. Raye and Mina were already on the balcony and Ami sat inside with a book. "Come on lets go." Lita said pulling Serena by the wrist. "Hey Ames how come you're not egging too?" Serena asked. "Oh I'm not throwing eggs at cars that is rude and what if someone caught us and oh you would get in so much trouble." Ami said angrily. "What you're throwing eggs at cars?" Serena shrieked at Lita. "Yeah that is what egging means jeez Serena where have you been all your life?" Lita said shrugging. "I thought you meant egging them on like 'Yey go car you can make the green light.' You know that kind of thing." Serena said sitting down. "Well I'm not gonna throw eggs at cars." Serena said crossing her arms. "Oh come on Serena it is fun and besides you need a thrill in your life." Lita said rolling her eyes. "Nope I'm not doing it if Ames isn't doing it." Serena said stubbornly. "Well then you'll both have to come." Lita said grabbing Ami's right wrist and Serena's left wrist. Lita pulled them onto the balcony where Mina and Raye were already sitting behind the railing with a carton of eggs. "We just got a Subaru WRX a blue one." Raye said with an evil glint in her eyes. Serena rolled her eyes and sat next to Mina. Lita handed her an egg and smiled smugly. "How bout we liven this game up a little." Lita said wickedly. The other four girls looked curiously at Lita. "How so?" Mina asked equally wicked. "The next person that walks down the sidewalk we have to throw an egg at." Lita said her eyes glinting with excitement. "No way Lita what if it is my parents or even worse Andrew or anyone we know? What if it's Miss H?" Serena said. "Yeah that is a little mean Lita." Mina said. "No way it is the point of the game. A little adrenaline rush. But first I think Serena and Ami should throw their eggs at cars." Raye said smiling evilly. Serena sighed and looked for an excuse not to do it. "Oh what the hay." Serena said. She peered over the railing and waited for a car to come past. A few minutes passed and still no car. The four other girls were silent as they watched Serena look back and forth from each side of the road. Finally a red sports car came zooming down the streets. Serena pulled her arm back and threw the egg. It hit the drivers window with a splat and bits of yolk and shell went everywhere. Serena quickly ducked behind the rails and smiled a wide grin. "That was wicked cool. Oh my gosh gimme another egg." Serena said reaching for the carton. "Woah slow down Serena we take it in turns and Ami you're next." Lita said handing an egg to Ami. Ami sighed and peered over the rails. She heard a car coming and threw the egg. It hit the pavement below and splattered. "Uh? I got it." Ami said shakily. "Sure Ames whatever. Scene as you wasted an egg you can throw the next one at a person." Mina said shoving an egg in Ami's hand. Ami glared at Mina and once again peered over the rails. "Ok here comes one." Serena said pointing to a tall man with dark hair. Ami sighed and threw the egg. It hit the guy in the chest and splattered all over his black shirt and green jacket. Ami quickly ducked behind the rails and grinned more evilly then the other four girls had before. "Oh my god that was so cool." Ami said grinning. They could hear the guy cursing below them. "Ha what a loser." Raye said. The man continued to shout for a few minutes and then he went quiet. "Ok whose next?" Mina asked. The girls continued to egg people for the next half-hour. Finally they ran out of eggs. "I'll go down to the store and get some if you want." Mina suggested. "Nah it's getting dark lets go inside for a bit." Lita said opening the sliding door. The five girls bustled inside and sat in Lita's lounge room. Serena and Mina sat on the lounge while the other three sprawled out on the carpeted floor. "Oh that reminds me guys I have your shopping." Serena said jumping up and bouncing over to the pile of bags in the corner. She got all the shopping bags and returned to the lounge. Serena handed out all the bags and the five girls all shared their purchases. "Oh and Ames scene as you weren't there we all pitched in and bought you something." Serena said pulling out a small wrapped package. "You never buy yourself anything so we thought we'd buy you something." Lita said beaming. Serena handed the package to Ami. "Oh please I couldn't possibly. Here one of you can have it." Ami said placing the package on the table. "Nuh-uh Ames you can't do that. And besides I don't think any of us would want it." Raye said smiling. Ami gave in and picked up the little package. She tore the paper gently and pulled out the little box. She opened it and smiled at what was inside. A small, blue picture frame with the mercury sign on each corner lay in her hands. It said 'BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!' on the bottom of it. There was a picture inside the frame of Ami, Lita, Serena, Mina and Raye all sitting together on a grassy hill with their arms around each other. "Oh you guys how did you find this?" Ami said touching the mercury sign. "Well there's this cool little astrology shop in the mall. It just opened. It has all of our signs. Except of course for Serena's." Mina said smiling. "Yeah I was in my right mind to abuse the shop keeper for that." Serena said pouting. Ami hugged each of her friends and sat back placing the picture frame on the TV. "Ok what can we do know?" Serena said smiling. "I know let's play truth or dare." Raye said grinning mischievously. Four worried faces crowded around Raye. "Go on rip it off." Serena said eagerly. "What a second Meatball brains you've got to let it cool." Raye said touching the warm orange wax on her leg. "Pooh it stinks." Mina said holding her nose. "If this hurts Meatball head you're in deep trouble." Raye snarled. "Hey it wasn't my idea to play truth or dare now was it." Serena said smiling triumphantly. "Ok I think it's ready." Lita said patting the wax. "Do you wanna hold my hand?" Ami asked Raye. "No Ames I'm sure this isn't gonna hurt." Raye said rolling her eyes. "Oh I don't know about that whenever my mum waxes all hell breaks lose." Ami said seriously. Serena giggled as she pictured Mrs. Mizuno peeling wax off her legs. Raye peeled the wax off and shrieked. "AIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!" The four other girls couldn't control their giggles. Peals of laughter filled the room as the watched Raye hop around the room screaming. She rubbed her leg furiously. "Oh Meatball Head I'm gonna kill you." Raye screeched. Serena held up her hands in defense. "Woah settle down Raye it was a dare." Serena giggled running behind Mina. "Yeah if the dare was to lose my leg then I think it worked." Raye mumbled rubbing the now red patch on her leg. After a few minutes the laughter died down. "Ok Ami's turn." Lita said smiling. Ami looked around nervously. "Hey relax Ames. Ok truth or dare?" Lita asked smugly. "Um dare." Ami said deciding to be a little adventurous. "Ok Ami I dare you to go and ask the cute boy two doors down for a cup of milk." Lita said proudly. The four other girls groaned and muttered "Some dare." Under their breaths. Lita interrupted their winging. "Then kiss him on the lips." Lita said triumphantly. Serena, Mina and Raye burst into a fit of giggles. "Hey not funny. I won't do it." Ami said crossing her arms. "If you don't do it I'll make you go in your undies." Lita said smugly. "No way that's not fair." Ami said sadly. "Rules are rules Ames." Raye said between giggles. "Oh alright. Don't expect me to play your stupid games ever again. I'd rather study then be humiliated like this." Ami growled flinging the door open. The other four stuck their heads out the door and watched intently as Ami walked to the second door from Lita's. She knocked softly and the door was opened. "Hi" the cute guy said suspiciously. "Hi can I please have a cup of milk. We're all out." Ami said smiling nervously. "Sure hold on." The boy disappeared and the four girls standing in Lita's doorway burst into giggles. "Here you guy." The boy said looking down the hall curiously. "Thanks." Ami said she quickly pecked him on the lips and scuttled back into Lita's apartment. The other four burst into a fit of giggles. Serena peered out and saw that the boy was standing in his doorway looking around nervously. After the giggling died down Ami spoke up. "Ok Lita this ones just for you. Truth or dare." Ami asked slyly. "I think I'm gonna be adventurous. I choose dare." Lita said proudly. "Ok I dare you to strip to your underwear and put on Indian make-up and wear one of those feathers around your head. Then run down the hall and knock on every single door. Once everyone has come out run back down saying 'I am cornholio I need tipi for my bunghole do you want to see my bunghole? Are you threatening me? Do not make my bunghole angry.' You have to run up and back." Ami said triumphantly. Lita's jaw dropped to the floor. "Wh? What do you mean." Lita said nervously. "You heard what I said." Ami said smiling evilly. "Ami when did you learn the lines from Beavis and Butthead? I think that egging thing has gotten into you." Serena said shaking her head. "Well I baby sit these kids and they have it on video they watch it none stop. It is such a stupid movie but I thought it would be appropriate for the dare." Ami said. Mina scratched her head and looked at Ami shakily. "Alright I'll do it." Lita said from her spot on the floor. The nearly forgotten Lita stood and walked to the bathroom. "I know I've got some red lipstick in here somewhere? Ah ha" Lita said coming out with a tube of lipstick. She pulled her jumper off and her long pants and stood in her white cotton undies and tank top. Her long legs instantly covered with goose bumps. Serena grinned and took the lipstick from Lita. She drew three red lines under each eye. "Is the band ready?" Lita asked. "Just about." Mina said stapling the big blue feather to the elastic headband. She placed it on Lita's head and stood back. "There all done. Perfect. Now get out and start running Cornholio." Ami said grinning. Lita walked into the hall. The four girls followed and stood in the doorway. They watched Lita walk to the end of the hall and stop. She turned around and gave them a thumbs up. Lita began to run from one side of the hallway to the other knocking on each door. She finally reached the end and waited for everyone to come out. When the last person came to their door Lita took off down the hallway swerving yelling at the top of her voice. "I AM CORNHOLIO I NEED TIPI FOR MY BUNGHOLE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MY BUNGHOLE? ARE YOU THREATENING ME? DO NOT MAKE MY BUNGHOLE ANGRY!" Lita screamed. She ran up and back and then retreated into her own apartment. The four girls were bowled over from the running Indian. They burst out laughing and tears fell from their eyes. Serena finally controlled the laughter for about a second then let it all out. Lita laughed with them for a bit then walked to the bathroom to wash off the lipstick. "Ok guys I think it's about time we go to bed." Lita said emerging from the bathroom. The girls changed into their pajamas and were just settling into their sleeping bags when five small beeps came from each of the girls bags. "Oh no way this must be Luna mucking around." Serena mumbled as she shuffled around her overnight bag. Finally she pulled out her communicator and turned it on. "Moon here what's up?" Serena said yawning. "Serena you're with the girls right?" Luna said worriedly. "Yeah, yeah what's wrong Luna it better be important I was in the middle of my beauty sleep." Serena mumbled. The four other girls groaned and listened as Luna exclaimed to them. "You know that Zoicite lady she is at the Tokyo Tower and I think she has Tuxedo Mask captured." Luna said in a rush. "OH MY GOOD TUXEDO MASK WE'VE GOTTA HELP HIM!" Serena shrieked. "Shut up Meatball Head." Raye said she snatched the communicator from Serena's hand. "Ok Luna we'll be right there." Raye said. "MOON PRISM POWER!" "MARS POWER!" "MERCURY POWER!" "JUPITER POWER!" "VENUS POWER!" The girls looked at each other and jumped down from Lita's balcony. "Hurry you guys if Tuxedo Mask is in danger we have to save him." Moon called over her shoulder. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ * Zoicite * "This is perfect Malachite just perfect." Zoicite said standing at the window of the Tokyo Tower. "Those fur balls will call the scouts and they will think that we have Tuxedo Mask but it's you. Ha what a perfect plan nothing will stop us now NOTHING!" Zoicite said laughing "Yes my love. Beryl will be most proud. We have 6 of the 7 rainbow crystals and we just have to get that one off Tuxedo Mask." Malachite said. "Yes that's true. Quickly I think they're coming." Zoicite said. Malachite lifted his cape and transformed into Tuxedo Mask. "Perfect." Zoicite said pecking him on the check. "Now lets get this show on the road." Zoicite said. She lifted her hands and ropes encircled Malachite's hands and feet. He was tied to the wall but he knew how to escape easily. Zoicite turned and summoned the six crystals into her hands. She heard footsteps on the stairs and turned to Malachite. "Now Tuxedo Mask are you going to give me the rainbow crystal or will I have to get it the hard way?" Zoicite said menacingly. "I'll never give you the crystal NEVER!" Malachite growled. Zoicite laughed. "Stop right there Nega creep." Sailor moon yelled at the top of the stairs. Zoicite snapped her head around and gasped. "Sailor scouts how did you find me?" She yelped in fake surprise. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ ~*~~ * Serena * "Sailor scouts how did you find me?" Zoicite yelped in surprise. "We have our ways. Don't expect Tuxedo Mask to give you the crystal either." Mars said determinedly. "You Sailor Scouts are no match for me." Zoicite yelled. "ZOI!" She threw her power at Malachite. "ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGH!" Malachite screamed in fake agony. He slumped his head down pretending to be hurt but he had used his invisible barrier to block Zoicite's attack. "Tuxedo Mask no" Sailor moon screamed. She ran to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Wake up please Tuxedo Mask wake up." She moaned. The other four scouts ran to her. Malachite looked up and grinned evilly. He shook the ropes from his wrists and held up his hands. "You fool Sailor Moon." He threw a barrier at the scouts and trapped them in it. "I knew this would work." Malachite said. He quickly turned around and discarded his Tuxedo Mask costume. "Oh no you're not Tuxedo Mask." Sailor Moon said in despair. "MARS FIRE IGNITE!" Mars threw her fire at the barrier but it just got smaller. "Oh no it absorbed my energy." Mars said shakily. "It will keep getting smaller and smaller until you all die." Zoicite said. "I don't think so." A deep voice said from the door way. "Tuxedo Mask you came." Sailor moon said. Tuxedo Mask threw a rose and it hit the barrier and got sucked up. "What. Why didn't it work?" Tuxedo Mask asked in disbelief. "Your petty roses are no match for the negaverse." Zoicite said smugly. "Now Tuxedo Mask the only way you can get them out is to hand over the crystal." Malachite said grinning wickedly. "Never I will never give you the crystal." Tuxedo Mask growled. "Well in that case say goodbye to your Sailor friends." Zoicite said. Tuxedo Mask looked around frantically. "Don't give her the crystal Tuxedo Mask. We don't matter just get out of here." Sailor moon said with tears in her eyes. "No I have a better idea. Zoicite I challenge you to a fight to death. If you win you can have the crystals. If I win you let the scouts go and I get the crystals." Tuxedo Mask said. "Have it your way but don't expect any victory." Zoicite said placing her crystals on the floor. Tuxedo Mask put his with the others and turned to face Zoicite. "Now when Malachite says we begin." Zoicite said. Malachite raised his hands in the air. "Ready, set, go!" he yelled. The crystals flew from their position on the floor into his hands. "Smooth move Tuxedo Mask you lose." Malachite said disappearing. Tuxedo mask threw several roses at Zoicite but she dodged them and they flew back at Tuxedo Mask. One hit him in the chest and he slumped to the ground. "Ha that will teach you to mess with Zoicite." She said disappearing herself. "NO TUXEDO MASK NO!" Sailor moon scream. Her tiara began to glow brightly. "Huh Sailor moon whats wrong with your tiara?" Venus said. A tear began to fall from Sailor moon's eye. She pounded her fist against the wall in frustration. Her tiara was still glowing fiercely. "You guys help me we've gotta save him." Sailor moon said. The five scouts joined hands and their tiara's began to glow bright. "SCOUT POWER!" They all said in unison. A bright light shone from the middle of their circle. It moved to the side of the barrier and blasted a hole in it. "Hurry I have to save him." Sailor moon screamed. She ran over to Tuxedo Mask and knelt by his side. "What do I do?" She screamed at the others. "Uh Check his pulse." Mercury yelled. "See if he actually got hit." Jupiter screamed. "Take his mask off see who he really is." Venus shrieked. "Not funny." Sailor moon sobbed. She felt his neck for a pulse. "Please Tuxedo Mask you have to wake up. We have to save the world and fight the negaverse. PLEASE!" Sailor moon screamed in tears. "Sailor moon your wand." Mercury said. "Right. MOON HEALING ACTIVATION!" Sailor moon used her wand but nothing happened. "NOOOOO!" She moaned dropping beside him. She pulled his head to her chest and cradled him to her. "Oh Tuxedo Mask how can I get through to you?" Sailor moon said distraught. A single crystal tear drop fell from her eye. It hit his chest and silver light filled the room. "Huh? What happened?" Sailor Moon said after the light died down. She held in her hand a small silver crystal. "Could this be the silver crystal?" She gasped. Memories flooded back to her of her ruling as the moon princess and prince Darien. Sailor Moon dropped to her knees. "Please Tuxedo Mask wake up." Sailor moon groaned. "Sailor Moon I'm alright." His voice sounded far away and distant. "Oh Tuxedo Mask thank god." She said kissing his forehead. "GIVE ME THAT CRYSTAL SAILOR MOON YOU THEIF!" A voice shrieked from behind them. "Oh Zoicite I've had enough of you. COSMIC MOON POWER!" Sailor moon wiped out Zoicite forever. "NOOO Zoicite my love come back." Malachite wailed from the corner of the room. "Sailor moon you must die for what you have done." He yelled. Malachite raised his hands and a glowing purple ball appeared. Malachite threw it at Sailor Moon and disappeared. "Sailor moon duck." The scouts screamed. "Huh?" Sailor moon turned to see the purple ball flying towards her. It hit her in the stomach and flung her backwards. "No Sailor Moon." Tuxedo Mask screamed. "Serena." Mars shrieked. Tuxedo Mask ran to her side and knelt before her. "Sailor moon can you hear me?" Tuxedo Mask wailed. Sailor moon lay motionless a small tear trickled from her eye. "Serena no please wake up." Luna said. A bright light flashed from the corner of the room. "You all have served my daughter well thank you." A serene voice said. "Oh Queen Serenity. IT is you." Luna said gasping. "Yes I have come to revive my daughter." Serenity said. She glided to where Sailor moon lay and picked her up. Serenity held Sailor moon in her arms and kissed her forehead. "Oh how I have missed you my sweet daughter." Serenity said smiling. Serenity pulled the wand from Sailor moon's hand and placed Sailor moon on the ground. "COSMIC MOON HEALING ACTIVATION!" Serenity said waving the wand. Sailor moon was raised into the air. A pink light flashed around her and when it faded Sailor moon was replaced by the moon princess. "Urgh what happened?" Serena moaned. "You? you're the princess from my dreams." Tuxedo Mask said with his mouth wide open. "Oh my it is the moon princess. Girls the one we've been looking for right under our noses." Luna said. "Who'd a thought that meatball head would be the princess." Mars said smacking her forehead. "Mother you rescued me thank you." Serena said hugging Serenity. "Well I must bid you fare well." Serenity said handing back the wand to Serena. She disappeared in a bright light. "I remember everything now." Serena said absentmindedly. "Who are you?" Tuxedo Mask asked. "I am princess Serena of the moon kingdom." Serena said looking into Tuxedo Masks eyes. "Why were you in my dream? Why did you tell me to get the crystal?" Tuxedo Mask asked. "Huh?" Serena said. "You're Sailor Moon." Tuxedo Mask asked. "Yes." Serena said. "Well then show me who you really are." Tuxedo Mask said holding Serena's shoulders. "No I can't it is too much to risk." Serena said casting her eyes down. "Well then I will show you who I am and trust in you." Tuxedo Mask said pulling off his mask. Serena's mouth dropped open. "NO WAY I CAN'T BELIEVE IT YOU'RE TUXEDO MASK BOY I SHOULDN'T OF BOTHERED SAVING YOU!" Serena yelled. "Woah lower the decibels Meatball Head he's right next to you." Mars said. "Oh I can't believe it you stay out of this pyro." Serena said. "Oh this is unbelievable." Serena mumbled to herself. "What you know me?" Darien asked confused. "Oh yeah I know you I also despise you." Serena said. "Please Sailor Moon show me who you are." Darien said. Serena looked over to Luna. Luna nodded slightly. "Oh alright then." Serena said. "Luna how do I get out of this princess outfit?" Serena asked. "I don't know." Luna said. Serena screwed her brow in concentration and a bright light encircled her. When it faded she was Sailor Moon again. "Now please show me who you are." Darien said wrapping her in his arms. Sailor Moon tensed in his embrace remembering all the names he had called her. "Oh fine but no more teasing." Sailor Moon said. Darien creased his brow in confusion. "I don't get it." Darien said. "You will trust me you will." Sailor moon said. She reached up and touched her locket. The Sailor moon costume disappeared and Serena stood in her pajama's. Darien's mouth dropped to the ground. "You? Meatball head? Sailor? My dream ? Not possible ? No way." Darien stuttered. "Yeah told ya." Serena said. Darien shook his head. "And you're prince Darien." Artemis said. "Yes I remember it all so clearly now. Oh Serena I'm so sorry for calling you all those names." Darien said. "It's ok Darien I understand." Serena said. Darien wrapped his arms Serena's body. "Nice pajama's my Meatball head." Darien said. "I love you my Prince." Serena said kissing his lips softly. "And I you my beautiful, Klutzy, whiny, princess." Darien said pulling her mouth to his. "Hey what about us don't you wanna know who we are." Mars said agitated. "I suppose." Darien said shrugging. They all powered down and Darien smiled realizing how stupid he was to miss it. "I love you Darien." Serena said. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ Epilogue Serena and Darien sat together in a booth at the arcade. "Oh Darien this is like a dream." Serena said nuzzling into his embrace. "Well who would've thought Darien and Serena together at last." Andrew said smiling. He placed their orders down and scuttled off. "Who would've thought Serena a princess." Darien said grinning. "Yeah and who would've thought big mean doufus Darien to be Tuxedo Mask." Serena said smiling. Darien hit her playfully and took a sip of his drink. "Say Darien." Serena said dreamily. "Why aren't you wearing you're green jacket? You know the one that you wear all the time." Serena said. "Well it's a long story." Darien said. "I've got time." Serena said stirring her sundae dreamily. "Well yesterday I was driving along and some little dick threw an egg at my window so I stopped and got out to look around and then someone threw another egg and it hit me in the chest." Darien said angrily. A dark blush creeped across Serena's cheeks. "Oh that's awful muffin." Serena said trying to hold back the laughter. A small smile escaped Serena's lips and then she burst into fits of giggles. "What is it Serena." Darien asked suspiciously. "Wellit'sjustthatyesterdayIwenttoLita'shouseandtheywereeggingpeo plefromthebalconyandIsortofthrewtheeggatyourcar." Serena said in one breath. "YOU WHAT?" Darien yelled. "BUT AMI THREW THE ONE AT YOU!" Serena screamed as she was chased out of the arcade and down the street. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ THE END! So what'd you think?
