Fiore's Return

Rating: PG or G

Hey-o! Today is April 1, 2000! Happy April Fools everyone! Today, I
bought the dubbed version of the Sailor Moon R movie at On Cue. I?m
sooooo happy!!!!!!!! I?m watching it for the second time right now,
since the first time, three of my best friends, Nikki Chiz, Cole Hi,
Ashie (Ashley), and I were watching it and we kept making these really
sick cracks at some of the parts. We couldn?t help it. We were all on
sugar highs from blue raspberry slushies at the mall from this cart in
the middle of the hallway. Fiore and Darien?s friendship suggests
something icky! And Fiore (Fee-or-ay) keeps touching Serena?s chest.
It?s just not right! Oh, and the way Serena and Rini go through this
store window, you?d think someone would be bleeding. Raye?s little paper
scroll thing is cool too! Anyway, I was inspired to write a story, so I
will! Happy reading!!!!!!!!!

Fiore?s return:
By Crescent Moon  (smtradingcardcollector@yahoo.com)
Rated PG or G, depending on how you take some parts.

	Serena and Darien walked hand in hand down the street. Luckily, it had
been a Friday on the day that they had saved the world from the Kisenian
Blossom, so they could just relax without any worries of school. Serena
shivered as she remembered Fiore?s first attack.
	?Serena? You okay?? asked Darien.
	?Huh? Oh, yeah. Um, can we not go to the greenhouse today?? she asked,
looking at the ground.
	?Why not??
	?I guess, I?m just not over the whole Fiore thing yet. I felt so bad
that he gave his life so I could live.?
	?Hey, don?t worry. He understood what you meant to me, and to him, I
was a brother.? He lifted her chin to look up at him. ?Besides, who
knows. He could come back someday. Weirder things have happened to us.?
	?True, but still..........?
	?Serena, please. We were reborn after a thousand years, we became
super-heros, I was brainwashed, we died again fighting Beryl, Ann and
Alan have turned to our side and left, the four Weird sisters came over
to our side, and we discovered we have a six-year-old daughter sent back
in time. How much weirder can you get?? He grinned as she slowly nodded.
?But, if you?re sure, we don?t have to go to the greenhouse.?
	?No, it?s okay, really. I guess, Fiore seems really special to you and
now to me. We should pay some respect to him there.? The two continued
down the street. Finally reaching the greenhouse, they entered.
	?Hey look! There?s the forget-me-nots!? exclaimed Serena, wandering
over to them.
	?You?re not going to try that again, are you?? Darien asked.
	?Nah, I?ve decided that I won?t do that. It?s stupid, and the comments
I heard Raye and Rini make last time are more than enough to stop me.?
	?You heard them??
	?Yeah, but I figured they?d go away, not scare me with bugs.?
	?Serena, did they really? I?m sorry I left you then. I just don?t trust
them when I?m with you on a date.?
	?Don?t you worry. All of them think that Mom made me stay and do my
homework, even Rini. Hey, let?s look at the roses.? The two wandered up
and down the aisles of flowers, looking and smelling them all. Soon,
Serena saw a familiar head. A tall man in a purple long sleeve shirt
with a wrinkled collar and khaki pants was staring at the roses. His
brown hair with scraggly bangs stood out the most.
	?Fiore?? she whispered. ?No way!? The man turned around, and his blue
eyes were revealed.
	?Excuse me? Did you say my name?? he asked. Darien, who had been
looking at the dark red pansies, looked up.
	?Yes, I did. Are you by chance Fiore?? asked Serena. Darien looked down
on her.
	?Serena? Were you talking to someone?? Darien asked. Serena pointed.
?Fiore?? he asked.
	?Um, yes, that?s my name. Do I know you?? Fiore cocked his head to the
side.
	?I think so. Were you in the hospital when you were a little kid? About
seven or eight?? asked Darien.
	?Yeah. I was found an orphan on the street. Why??
	?Do you remember a boy about your age named Darien??
	?Um............. Yeah, I do. He was my only friend until I got
adopted.?
	?I?m that boy. My name is Darien, and this is my girlfriend Serena.?
Darien held out his hand. Fiore shook it.
	?Wow! I thought I would never see you again. The doctors kept saying
stuff about how they doubted you?d live because of your injuries.?
	?His injuries? Darien, you never told me anything about injuries!?
Serena looked accusingly at her boyfriend.
	?Whoa, down girl!? said Fiore, laughing. ?The doctors said, right
before I left, said that his recovery was a miracle. They said he got
better after this little girl visited him, or something like that.?
	?That was me! I visited him!? Serena exclaimed, excited.
	?Come to think of it, you look awfully familiar, Serena. Have I met you
before??
	?Um, I think so. Maybe it was a few days ago.? Serena looked at Darien
for help.
	?Yeah, you were here the other day, um just yesterday, or was it
Thursday, weren?t you?? Darien suggested.
	?Yes, I was. Hey, wait a minute! I remember both of you now!? he
exclaimed. He lowered his voice, saying, ?You guys saved me from the
Kisenian Blossom, didn?t you? You?re Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon,
right??
	?Um, yeah! That?s us,? Serena said, grinning as Fiore smiled.
	?Sorry about that, you guys.? His hand went to the back of his head. ?I
don?t really know how the Kisenian got control of me. I?m glad she?s
gone.?
	?Don?t worry, Fiore. It?s okay, and you can meet some friends of ours
who know our secret too. The four of them are really nice, and I think
that they?ll like you a lot.? Darien looked at Serena. Finally, it
dawned on her who he was talking about.
	?You mean the sisters? Yeah, they?ll love to have another person around
who knows our secret. Us scouts don?t get around too much. Hey, Fiore,
do you have a nickname? And how can you be adopted and still have been
under the flower?s control.?
	?Well, after I gave the friendship flower to Darien, I sort of drifted
off, back to the earth. I landed in the front yard of some house, and
the couple that lived there welcomed me home like I was their son. They
told me what had happened, and I guess I just felt like believing them.
They call me Ray.?
	?So, some anonymous people told you you were their son?? Darien asked.
	?Yeah, they?re really nice. Their last name was Tree. I think they were
Ann and Alan Tree, but I couldn?t be sure.? Serena giggled.
	?You should ask them about us!? she exclaimed. ?I bet they know who we
are too! Hey, if they?re Fiore?s parents, did they time travel too??
	?Huh?? asked Fiore.
	?It?s a long story. Do your ?parents? have brown hair, your mom?s
darker, and she has reddish-brown eyes and your dad looks exactly like
you?? Darien asked.
	?Yes, they do. Why?? Fiore looked between the giggling girl and the
deep-in-thought boy.
	?It?s possible, Serena. We should ask Rini about it. They probably came
with her, or they were older than they posed as last time.?
	?Excuse me, but can you explain?? Fiore asked, frustrated.
	?Ann and Alan were the children of the Doom Tree, or the Tree of Life
as it prefers to be called. You seem to be one too, but you?re green,
and they were pink and blue. Anyway, they said they were going to make
their own home with the Tree, but we never found out where. And they
posed as teenagers when they were here.? Serena had stopped giggling,
but just barely.
	?What does that have to do with me??
	?Well, probably nothing,? Darien said. ?But, we?ve got some pretty
strange memories.?
	?Yeah.? Serena looked at him. ? Like, ?But Darien, it?s karma!
Everything at this place is mint!?? Serena mimicked Ann.
	?And ?Get you crummy hands off her!?? Darien mimicked Alan.
	?That sounds like my parents, only......well, yeah.? Fiore looked at
them. ?Maybe you should come visit them.?
	?Sure!? Serena exclaimed. ?I really hope it?s them! I really miss Ann,
and of course, Alan.?
	?You would. He followed you around like a puppy while I couldn?t
remember,? Darien retorted.
	?Oh please, Mister Ann?s-Just-A-Friend. Like you didn?t mind her
hanging on you.? Serena winked at Fiore, who had gotten a bit afraid of
what was going on as they walked.
	?Okay, okay, whatever. We know that they?re a couple, and we?re a
couple. Besides it?s probably not them anyway.?
	The rest of the walk was in silence. Fiore led the way, Serena and
Darien, holding hands again, behind him. They finally reached a very
nice blue house, with a large front yard, with a tree that looked rather
familiar. Fiore led them up the walk. He opened the door and called out
that he was home and had brought back some friends.
	?Can you come meet them?? he asked.
	?Sure, Ray,? came a familiar female voice. Five minutes later, Serena
and Darien found themselves in a cheery living room, drinking hot
chocolate and eating pastries. Fiore brought his parents in, and the two
nearly spit out their drinks. It really was Ann and Alan!
	?Hi, Ann!? Serena exclaimed, jumping up. Ann looked closely, then
grinned.
	?Serena! Hey, I didn?t know you knew our son!? Ann and Serena hugged.
Alan and Darien watched, eyebrows raised.
	?Hi Darien,? said Alan.
	?Alan,? Darien said, nodding his head. ?So, is this where you set up
shop??
	?Yeah. We originally were going to look for Fiore over there.? Alan
pointed at him. ?But, we heard that the Kisenian Blossom had found him,
so we came back to Earth.?
	?So, Fiore is really your son?? Serena asked Ann.
	?Uh-huh! See, me and Alan had been in love for as long as we can
remember. But, while we were still with the family of the Doom Tree, it
was unacceptable to have children of your own. The only children allowed
were those of the Tree, and they were all pink and blue. We managed to
hide Fiore for a year or two, but eventually they found him, and we sent
him away, hoping he would find a nice planet to live on, since he didn?t
need the Tree to stay alive.? All five people sat down around the coffee
table. ?We were only about 7, but in Earth years, we were really 21. The
only reason we didn?t realize that we grew about 1/3 as fast as
Earthlings was because we thought it was the same. We discovered it
wasn?t after seeing you Earthlings grow up.?
	?Anyway, before Ann goes into some weird lecture, we came back after a
few months, and decided to live here. The Tree is out in the front yard
right now. When Fiore landed in the front yard in front of the Tree,
with the little bubble around him that the Tree reacted to, we realized
he was ours.? Alan looked at the Tree out the window.
	?So, we made up this story for him, since he really seemed out of it,
and we hoped he would buy it.? Ann looked lovingly at Fiore. He blushed
as Serena and Darien chuckled.
	The five of them visited for awhile, Fiore, Serena, and Darien
explaining the whole story of the Kisenian Blossom. Then, as the
afternoon grew into evening, Serena and Darien said that they had to
leave.
	?We?ll come back and visit again sometime, okay?? Serena said, hugging
Ann, then Alan, then finally Fiore.
	?Sure,? said Alan. Darien hugged Ann and shook Alan and Fiore?s hand.
They said good-bye, and the couple walked away.
	?Darien??
	?Yes, Serena??
	?Do you think they?ll make it and fit in??
	?Of course. Ann and Alan are very resourceful, and now that the Tree
lives off of their love, we don?t have to worry.?
	?That?s not exactly what I meant, but okay. I really hope that Fiore
will be okay. It must have been hard for him, being brain-washed,
wrung-out, and dried-out by the little flower.?
	?Yeah, but Fiore?s pretty tough, and now that his parents are around,
he?ll definately make it, just like us.? They stopped walking, and
Darien kissed Serena in the growing moonlight.
	?I thought you had homework!? yelled seven voices.

Cool, huh? I love that movie, although my buds get a little sick while
