	Love Reborn: Chater 4	Rated: G/PG

	*****	*****	*****	*****	*****

	A silver haired girl in a long blue silk dress stands
motionless in a room as she watches a handsome man enter.  He
tries to run to her but he can never seem to reach her.  Then 
a woman in a long black dress descends from the ceiling and 
starts to laugh.  The laugh causes the man to fall to his 
knees covering his ears in obvious pain.  The girl starts to 
reach for him, to protect him, but a glass barrier prevents 
it.  She is forced to watch as the man, her love, stands and 
walks to the laughing woman.  Tears rundown her face as she 
watches them kiss and her heart shatters.

	"Baron no!" shrieks Teresa as she bolts up in bed.  
Shakily she looks around assuring herself that it was just a 
dream but as in nights before Teresa does not return to bed 
but instead moves to her desk and begins to write until the 
sun starts to peek above the horizon.

	"Yes! Another monster bites the dust," exclaims Serena
 from the latest Sailor V game.
	"Hey Serena maybe you should offer your services to the 
real Sailor Scouts," taunts Andrew from the counter.  "I'm sure 
they could use someone with your talents."
	"Ha ha Andrew I'm sure the real scouts do just fine on 
their own."
	"Come on Serena I'm sure they would love to have another 
person who looks like Sailor moon to use as a diversion," adds 
Baron with a conspirital wink at Andrew.
	"Yeah I bet they could even get you an outfit to wear 
that looks just like theirs," says Andrew with a laugh.
	"Very funny guys ha ha," laughs Serena in an almost 
nervous voice.  "I don't look all that much like Sailor Moon 
anyway."
	The boys just laugh and Serena blushes and starts to 
concentrate on her video game once again only to loose to the 
next monster that comes on the screen.  While Serena is busy 
battling monsters Teresa walks into the arcade and takes her 
place at the counter.  She looks like she hasn't had a good 
rest in a while and possibly on the verge of a nervous 
breakdown.  Baron comes over to her.
	"Hey you don't look so good are you feeling all right 
Teresa?" he asks in a suddenly very tender and concerned voice.
	"I had that dream again Baron," Teresa looks at him and 
her eyes filled with tears.
	"Why don't you come over later and we can talk about it 
then ok?"
	"Yeah I guess that would be ok.  Baron, promise me you'll 
stay here with me forever."
	"I haven't left you yet and I don't intend to anytime 
soon so don't worry," he says with a smile.  "You want a milkshake?  
That always makes your sister feel better and I bet it will work 
on you too."
	"That does sound good make it strawberry," replies Teresa 
as a small smile comes to her face.
	"Coming right up miss."
	After yet another defeat Serena looks up from the video 
game and notices Teresa at the counter looking very depressed.  
The sight of her sad face makes her want to go over and make her 
feel better.  Her mind made up Serena walks over to Teresa and 
sits on the stool next to her.  
	"Hi Teresa you doing ok?" asks Serena with genuine concern 
in her voice.
	"Hi Serena.  I guess I'm just a little tired that's all," 
was her reply.
	"Well if your tired it means you can't sleep and if you 
can't sleep then something must be worrying you so why don't you 
talk about it.  I'm a good listener when I want to be."
	"You would really listen to the babblings of a 16 year old?"
	"Course I would.  Now why don't we sit in a booth and talk 
about it, come on."
	Before she can delay anymore Serena practically drags 
Teresa to a booth.  Baron brings over two strawberry shakes and 
hands one to Serena and one to Teresa.
	"If you can get her to smile again Serena this one's on 
me," says Baron as he walks back to the counter.
	"So what's on your mind Teresa?  You can tell me.  I promise
you'll feel better after," says Serena as she puts a straw into her 
shake.
	Teresa smiles.  Talking this way with her sister was always 
something she cherished and Teresa finds it easy to open up to her.  
Soon she is telling Serena all about her dream and then her fear of 
loosing Baron and being left alone again.
	"I always wake up with the same feeling of emptiness inside 
of me.  I don't want to be alone Serena," says Teresa with fear in 
her voice.
	"You'll never be alone as long as you have your friends 
Teresa," says Serena with certainty.  "You do have friends don't 
you?"
	"Sort of.  Most kids at school avoid me as much as possible 
and I just never tried to make too many friends.  I spend most of 
my time in the music rooms singing."
	"Well you can consider me a friend, and I know four others 
who would love to be friends with you too."
	"You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear you say 
that Serena," Teresa was cut off by a loud scream and the screeching 
of tires on the pavement.  
	"Monster run for your lives!"  Was the cry heard from every 
person on the street.
	Simultaneously Serena and Teresa turn their heads to see an 
ugly monster that looks like a giant wolf smashing cars.  Suddenly 
it turns towards the arcade and both girls look each other in the 
eye.  A sense of dejavu comes over Serena but quickly vanishes as 
Baron runs from behind the counter and grabs both girls just as a 
car comes sailing through the window.
	"You two stay down I'm going to call for help," says Baron 
as his face sets in a determined frown.
	"Baron no don't leave me alone," begs Teresa as she holds 
his hand in hers.
	"I'll come back I promise."
	He disappears into the back of the arcade leaving the girls 
alone.  Suddenly another window breaks and the monster enters the 
arcade.  A woman in a yellow dress is hovering just above him.  
Her brown eyes flash with determination as she throws a long black 
braid over her shoulder.
	"Oh princess come out come out where ever you are," she 
shouts with a menacing voice.
	From behind the counter Teresa and Serena are both trying 
to think of a way to get out without being noticed.  Serena casually 
presses the emergency call button on her wrist communicator alerting 
all the scouts to her location.  
	"Don't worry Teresa I'm sure the Sailor Scouts will be 
here soon," says Serena in a whisper.
	"I hope so because I really don't feel like fighting that 
thing," replies Teresa in a level voice.
	Just then a capped figure steps from the back of the arcade 
and gives a white rose to Teresa who blushes.  Serena just looks on 
in awe as the he steps from behind the counter and faces the monster.
	"I will not allow you to torment innocent people any longer.
It is my job to protect people from creeps like you, I am Tuxedo 
Taurus."
	"Well hello your grace so glad you could come," replies the 
yellow clad figure.  "But if you're here it must mean that your 
princess is not far behind.  Now where could she be?"
	"I smell a moon brat, no wait two of them," says the monster
 with his nose in the air.  "They're right here!"
	He jumps behind the counter and grabs for Serena and Teresa, 
but Serena manages to escape his grasp.  She goes and hides in back 
waiting for the other scouts to arrive.  From her hiding spot she 
watches as the monster holds Teresa in one of it's massive paw like 
hands.
	"Got one of um Celaeno, says the monster as he holds Teresa
in front of him.
	"Let her go you flea bag," shouts Tuxedo Taurus.
	"Oh never my dear prince you see now we have what we came 
for and I don't think mother would like it very much if we let her 
go," says Celaeno with a laugh.
	"Think again lady," calls a determined voice from the street.
	"We will not allow you to harm poor lonely girls like this, 
on behalf of the moon we will right wrongs and triumph over evil, 
and that means you!" says Sailor moon as the scouts step out of the 
shadows.
	"Sailor scouts how nice of you to join the party.  You can 
watch as we choke the life out of your silly little princess," says 
Celaeno.  "Tyke destroy her while I take care of these Sailor Brats."
	Tyke begins to choke Teresa even as Tuxedo Taurus continually 
blasts him.  Celaeno turns on the scouts with dark energy and wounds 
them.  Then from inside the arcade a golden light emerges.  The 
monster cries out in pain and drops Teresa but a golden crescent is 
still glowing on her forehead much to the surprise of all the scouts.   Tuxedo Taurus grabs Teresa and they quickly exit the arcade to join them.
	"Who are you?" asks Sailor Mars.
	"I'll explain later," says Teresa as the crescent fades.  
"Time to get rid of this flea bag."  She holds her locket high and 
says "Sirius Crystal Power!"  A blue light surrounds Teresa creating 
the body suit, skirt, bows, and top.  Then bands of light encase her 
legs and arms leaving tall boots and long gloves accented in pale 
blue.  A final band circles her head and neck leaving the tiara and 
choker behind.  
	"Nice show princess but I'm afraid it will be your last," 
says Celaeno as she sends another blast of energy at the scouts.
	"Celaeno your fight is with me not them," says Silver Moon.
	"True, Tyke!  Destroy the scouts."
	"Yes mistress," replies the monster.
	"Tyke likes to hurt little girls," says the monster in a 
low voice.
	"Well were not so little you mutt," shouts Jupiter as she 
faces the monster.
	"Were gonna dust you mister," says Sailor moon.
	"Aim for his nose scouts," says Mercury from behind her visor.
	"Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!"
	"Mars Celestial Fire Surround!"
	"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"
	"Moon Scepter Activation!"
	"Shine Aqua Illusion!"
	The combined attacks of the scouts hit the monster directly 
in the nose destroying him.  They turn to look at Silver Moon who by 
now is starting to loose her battle with Celaeno.
	"You're going down moon brat!  This is for mother," says 
Celaeno as she sends another blast at Silver Moon.  However Tuxedo 
Taurus jumps between the two and takes the hit.
	"BARON!" screams Silver Moon as she cradles his limp form 
in her arms.  "Your gonna pay for that."  She places her hand over 
her locket and a blue glow slowly grows until it engulfs her whole 
body.  Then without warning the blue energy retreats back to a small 
ball in Silver Moon's hand.
	"Sirius Silent Blast," she says in almost a whisper.  The 
blue ball of energy flies from her hand and quickly grows large again 
swallowing Celaeno and destroying her.
	With both threats destroyed Silver Moon turns to her five 
friends from so long ago as she holds Tuxedo Taurus in her lap.
	"I guess I have some explaining to do huh," says Silver Moon 
as she looks from face to face.
