Guess who doesn't own any of the characters accept for the ones she makes up in her own pathetic mind? Me!!! That's my disclaimer.. whether you like it or not!

"Serena!" Rei called out behind her friend. Serena had just gotten done having a triple scoop of double chocolate fudge ice cream at the arcade and was obviously not her normal state of mind, so it took a couple yells before Rei impacted Serena enough for her to turn around.
"What Rei? I'm already late for a date with Darien." Serena said smoothing out the wrinkles in her skirt. She had that gleam in her eye. That gleam that kind of made people sick because it meant she was so in love with some one that they were all she thought about.
"Whatever, Serena, you're just gonna have to cancel it. I was consulting the great fire about some dreams I've been having lately and the results I got didn't look to good. I'm calling a scouts meeting. Bring Lita and Mina to the temple in half an hour. And don't forget Darien, we might need his help," and with that she left. Probably to avoid any wail Serena might send her way.
"So unfair! The one time I finally get Darien alone without that little spore getting in my way and I have to save the world! AGAIN!" With her head drooped done and the merry skip absent from her step, she went in search of her friends. She turned the corner when she noticed Lita walking her way. "Lita!"
"Oh hey Serena! I thought you had a big date today with Darien?"
"I did, well before Rei called a meeting. She wants you to meet her at the temple in half an hour. And if you see anyone else tell them the same thing." Serena said continuing here depressed walk past Lita and down the sidewalk.
"Did she at least say what it was about? What's gotten into her?" Lita questioned herself, before continuing her walk down the sidewalk.
Meanwhile across town….
"Mika, you were right this is the right town. I am sure of it." A tall brunette said as she walked hand in hand with a medium height blonde. Each was wearing low cut dresses that ended at their ankles in a flowing mass of material.
"I hope you're right Leanne. Our world can't afford another near miss." The blonde said, a sudden sadness taking over her.
"That's why this is the one. Can't you feel it? Sailor Moon I here. I know it and once we find her she will have to fulfill her destiny and become the new ruler of the Dark World." Leanne said smiling, causing the blonde to smile as well.
"Do not say anymore my love. We do not know the capabilities of these people."
"Of course we do. They are the same as us, in many ways." Leanne said with a smile.
Serena was absently making her way to Darien's apartment building when she bumped into Leanne.
"Oh, I am so dreadfully sor--! Lita! I thought I told you to gather the others for our meeting?" Serena said staring at her fellow scout member. What was going on? She could have sworn Lita went into the opposite direction.
"Lita? Who's Lita? Is that you Selena? You trickster, you. When did you dye your hair blonde? We've only had enough time to unpack, but wait no your eyes are a different color. I am not Lita, my name is Leanne and we have obviously confused each other for some one else. We're new to Juuban. This is my cousin, Mika." Leanne offered noticing the uncanny resemblance between Selena and Serena.
"Strange you too look like one of my friends. My name is Serena. And I really must be going." And with that she hurried off.
"Well it looks like we didn't have to search very long." Leanne said with a smile as both her and Mika vanished into thin air.
A little while later….
"I swear they looked just like you, Lita and Mina." Serena said anguished. She felt that no one believed her. Even her own boy friend looked at her oddly when she told them of the two girls.
"It's not that we don't believe you Serena, but me and Mina having evil twin sisters who are working for the Dark Kingdom and are here to take over the world and steal peoples energy, is a little farfetched." Lita said out of breath.
"Well it is possible…" Ami drawled in.
"Very much so." Darien thought he would input. "Besides with some of the stuff we've come up against, this would be like a walk in the park."
"Oh shut up Darien! Serena this is just another one of your wild fantasies. I bet you made the whole thing up. And the real reason we are here is to discuss the onset of danger from the real Dark kingdom. I have been having weird dreams lately where Rini and Serena disappear and are replaced by some girl that looks like Serena but with black hair. I consulted the great fire and I got really dark vibes. Now whatever it is it isn't going to come in the form of evil twin sisters." Rei finished angrily.
"And how can you be so sure?" A new voice inputted from the shadows.
"Who's There?" Mina asked as everyone jumped to their guards.
"Just me, Relax everyone." Sailor Pluto said as she entered from a darkened corner. "I too am experiencing similar nightmares accept there do hold some water."
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Rei asked.
"You are not ready to hear it because you will not believe it. But when the time comes, trust me, you will be willing to listen. Expect anything, and stop shooting down what might truly be what is happening, even if it comes from an unlikely source." Sailor Pluto said, with a wink at Serena, before disappearing into nothingness.
"HA!" was all Serena said.
"Shut up!" Rei replied.
"Uh Rei?" Chad said knocking on her door.
"Yeah Chad what is it? Can't you see we're busy?"
"Not really the doors closed. Ami's here to talk to you about some homework assigment. She's waiting out on the pathway for you.
"Chad you nutball, Ami's in here with us." Rei said looking at Ami oddly.
"Well then it's her evil twin sister. Anyways she's waiting to talk to you." He said as he left. How ironic that he should choose those words.
"Serena, I hate to admit it but something really isn't right here, and you may have been right. Ami you stay here. Lita and mina you guys better stay too. Darien Serena, you guys come with me." Rei ordered as she left her room.
They walked down a couple hall ways and foyers until they found themselves out on the pathway. Ami was standing before them with her back to them.
"Rei, Darien, and Serena." She drawled out as she turned around. "I'm not surprised, trust me. You are invited to visit with Sailor Dark Moon in the Crystal Taverns just outside of the city limits. I trust you know how to get there, seeing as how your natives. Show up at midnight and fulfill your destiny or don't and end the world. The choice is yours, although I already know what choice you will make." She bowed down to them and vanished into thin air, just like Sailor Pluto had moments before.
"What the heck is goin on here?! That looked just like Ami! And who the hell is this Sailor Dark Moon?" Rei asked confused.
"Fulfill our destiny?" Darien asked looking down into Serena's deep blue eyes. "But my destiny is to spend the rest of my life with you on the moon."
"End the world. Man, for once I wish I wasn't right." Serena said looking at the ground, pondering something.
"Well lets go tell the others. Maybe Ami can make some sense of this mess."
Later that day….
"She looked exactly like me, Rei?" Ami asked.
"Exactly, her eyes may have been a different color. But that's not the point, the point is do we go and meet this new challenge or do we stay?"
"Well, I think that if it means the fate of Earth than we really have no choice. We must go and protect love and enforce justice. We are the Sailor Scouts. And we will defend all that we know and that we will know in the future!" Serena said striking a few poses. "It's already five o'clock, seven hours until we meet this copycat and her gang. What do you guys say we go to the arcade and bug Andrew for a bit?"
They all agreed they needed something to take their minds off these twins. So they marched down to the arcade had some pizza, and even smiled every now and then. But their minds never strayed to far from Sailor Dark Moon.
"What do we tell your mom?" Lita asked Serena. Serena's parents were really the only ones who actually noticed their daughters absence.
"I'll tell her I am sleeping over at your house Lita!"
"What about Rini? You think we should let her in on this?" Ami asked. She suddenly made everyone realize that the little girl had been absent all morning and afternoon.
"She doesn't need to know. She's out shopping with my mother right now. The less people involved the better. I don't think I could take it if one of you were to be hurt, when it's obvious that all they want is me. That's why I didn't want Neptune or Uranus in on this either." Serena said, looking at the slice of pizza in her hand but not eating it.
"Serena, you know for a fact that we go to protect not only you but the safety of the world. And they didn't say anything about you being the reason they were here." Darien said kissing the top of Serena's forehead.
"I know that… but I just have this feeling that this isn't going to be as easy as you originally thought.." Serena said a single tear rolling down her cheek.
