Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon. Here'a a key to Darien's general's civilian identities:
Malachite—Max
Zoycite–Zoë
Neflite–Ned
Jedite–Jed
It was just a normal day in the life of me: monster attack, dying in video games, you know, so I'm glad that I'm having this party!
DING-DONG!
They're here! Finally!
"Hi, Darien!" They chorus. 'They' is the Sailor Scouts (why wouldn't I invite them to my birthday party) and my friends from college (Max, Zoë, Ned, and Jed). I notice Serena and Amy missing from the bunch. I knew it. Serena is late, and Amy went to track her down. As usual.
"Do you guys have any idea where Serena is this time?" I say, and sweat-drop. I don't think so.
"Uh, so far, no. I wish we did, but we don't, so live with it, Cape-boy." Zoë snarks. Why does she do this?
DING-DONG!
That must be Serena and Amy. Or the pizza guy.
DING-DONG DING-DONG
That's definitely Serena. No pizza guy rings 3 times. They wait.
"HI, DARIEN! Sorry I'm late. A little bubblegum-haired surprise fell out of the sky on my head." Serena explains. Rini jumps at my face.
"Hi, Darien!" Rini exclaims. "Happy Birthday!" :)
"Jedite, wait–" I hear some indistinct snippets of conversation.
"I'm gonna ask why they're late," I hear Zoë whisper and her footsteps coming closer. "Why are you late and who's that bubblegum-haired kid?!" She yells.
FLASH
That was weird. We look normal. Maybe a lightbulb went out.
"I'm gonna check on the others," Amy says. We all run to the living room and see a big surprise.
I don't know how to explain this. Mina is drawing on the walls and looks about 4 years old. So does everybody else in the room. Max is jumping on the couch, and Raye is playing 'dress up karate' with Lita and Jed. That's what I think it is.
"Oh-oh. This isn't good. Who are you and what have you done with my friends?" Serena says.
"I'll scan them," Amy says. "It's them–they just have been turned into 4 year olds!" That'a not good. At ALL.
How did you like it? Stay tuned for the next chapter! I'll get it out in a few days!
