Urban Legend Prologue
PG Alternate... kinda... BY: Mehgth: hime_serenity_chan@hotmail.com

Criminologist: It was a dark and stormy night. And on this dark and stormy night there was a house. And in this house there was a group of people about to have their lives... invaded... by the unknown. *cue freaky music*
"Ba..ka!" Chibi-Usa blew a raspberry at her intended target then watched delighted as she blew up and her face turned purple.
"OOOHHHH CHIBI-USA YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY MAMO-CHAN!" The blond screamed at the pink as the rest of the room sweatdropped.
"Usako-"
"Ne, Mamoru-kun let them duke it out I've got bets on it this time." Mamoru gave Haruka a defeated look and then proceeded to break up what was it world war 8 this time?
"Ara 'Ruka. Would you give the guy a break?" Michiru swatted her in admonishment.
He tried a different approach this time, "Chibi-Usa-cha-"
Suddenly someone latched onto his arm. "Mamo-chan you love me with all your heart ne?"
Immediately concerned he answered, "Well of course Usako, why would you think-"
"Ha! Told ya spore!" Usagi glanced across Mamoru at the very upset little girl.
History repeated itself and he felt more weight on his other arm, "Papa you love your future daughter ne?"
Mamoru sighed and a moan that suspiciously sounded like "I give up!" Sounded from his slumped form.
Motoki patted his friend's back in understanding. He sighed they were at it again.
Watching this countless times and tired of being left out the fire priestess started a whole new topic. "Ne, Usagi-chan if you insist on acting as Chibi-Usa you might as well go to sleep at her bedtime too, so us (emphasizing the word) Grownups, can have a good time."
There were light chuckles and then a tell tale wail. "Rei-chan you're so meeeaaaannn WAHHHHHHHHH"
*sweatdrops for everyone*
"Rei-chan why did you have to go and start the waterworks?" Makoto asked her friend.
"Mako-chan's right Rei-chan you should apologize it isn't very kind of you to get Usagi all worked up at her own home."
"Aww...c'mon Ami-chan she's not really upset watch this." With an evil grin Rei stood up and then said, "Look Usagi-chan cheesecake!"
Instantly Usagi was quiet and ran over to Rei. "Cheesecake? Where? Where? Where?"
"Hai. Rei-chan that worked all right." Minako giggled slapping the leg next to her.
"Itai! Mina-chan don't do that."
"Oops gomen ne Motoki-kun!"
Criminologist: Just then the clock struck. The clock struck... it struck seven o'clock. And a loud groan was heard.
"Wai wai it's Chibi-Usa's bedtime! Goodnite Chibi-Usa sweet dreams don't let the bedbugs bite." Usagi shoved Chibi-Usa up the stairs then ran down them to meet the rest of her friends.
Hotaru asked Setsuna something quietly and then bid everyone good night and followed Chibi-Usa up the stairs.
It sure was good of them all to come, Mamo-chan, her five best friends Rei, Ami, Minako, and Makoto and then it was a great surprise when they brought their boyfriends: Yuuichiro, Ryo, some weird guy that Mako-chan met when she went to the states named Ammon, and Motoki. It sure was a surprise when she found out that Minako and Motoki were together. And even better Haruka and Michiru stopped in and she had convinced Setsuna to stay when she came to pick up Hotaru after playing with Chibi-Usa all day. It was going to be a fun evening! 'Especially if Mamo-chan reveals his hidden talent.' She mused.
The group in the living room knew that it was Usagi by the sound of her skipping feet, and sighed when she ran over towards Rei demanding cheesecake.
"Here Usako sit down next to me."
"Mamo-chan..." sensing and opportunity, "Hee... Only if you promise you'll do anything for me!"
"Anything. I promise."
"Good *giggle* Mamo-chan I want you to tell us all a story!"
"Nani?"
"You promised..."
"Hi that I did..."
"Well what kind?"
Usagi glanced over at the group, "Well minna?"
"SCARY!"
Usagi blanched. "Scary? Why not something funny?"
"Iie scary!"
"C'mon Usagi-chan it's a dark and stormy night, the wind's rattling the windows... there's monsters hiding everywhere..."
With a shriek Usagi dove into Mamoru's chest for safety. "That's not funny Minako-chan!" Glancing around the room she noticed everyone laughing even her sweet Mamo-chan. "Well maybe a little..."
"Alright Minna it seems Usako has forced me to tell you a story so I will begin my tale!"
Criminologist: And thus he spun the tale... and the tale which he spun was a scary one indeed. And a scary tale was the one he spun. And thus the scary spinning was done as thus:
"It was a dark and stormy night, much like tonight..."
Makoto threw Mamoru a flashlight and flipped off all of the lights. She then ran back to her date and cuddled next to him, pulling a blanket up over the two of them.
"Um... Makoto, this flashlight doesn't work..." grimaced Mamoru.
"Sure it does, just whack it against something."
Mamoru swung the flashlight at the couch arm giving it a good thwack.
"Ack! Baka!" shouted Usagi. "That hurt..."
A giggle came from the stairsteps. It was the spore.
"Chibi-Usa! What are you doing? I sent you to bed!" shouted Usagi.
"I couldn't sleep!"
"Neither I, I feel I'm experiencing a bit of insomnia..." whispered Hotaru.
Everyone's sweatdrops were not visible in the darkened room.
"Well great," said Rei. "Now that we've thoroughly ruined the mood..."
Chibi-Usa and Hotaru filed in to the room and took seats on the couch.
"The flashlight works now at least," pointed out Mamoru as he held it up underneath his chin, casting an eerie glow about his handsome features. "It was a dark and stormy night... much like tonight. The wind howled through the hidden passages and alcoves within the old house. Rain beat down upon the roof, very similar to the pattering of the feet of a thousand gremlins..."
Mamoru hesitated for a moment, letting the mood fall over the room. The girls all squeezed closer to their boyfriends, and the boyfriends would have grinned if they weren't glancing about the room nervously.
Criminologist: And thus the story continued. The story continued as thus. And this is how it continued:
"On this night, amid the dark, the storm, and the wind, several couples huddled close to each other. Some, like Makoto and her date there, were huddled under a blanket. Others, just cuddled together. The picnic which they had first intended on having had quickly been rained out and they had all sought refuge within an old home. That old home was on this street, as I've been told... I believe this very house is built upon the same foundation."
"The couples had decided upon playing games to keep themselves from thinking of the creepy atmosphere. But they were not alone in the house. Nobody noticed a pair of blood red eyes staring hotly at the unannounced guests from the corner. A bloody, sharp-toothed grin spread across the creatures face as it disappeared into the shadows and ran back to its home in the attic..."
A board creaked upstairs.
"WAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Usagi wailed.
Everyone jumped at the sudden interruption.
"What is it now?" asked Rei vehemently.
"I'm scared and I don't have anyone to cuddle with..." whined Usagi as she twirled one of her long blonde pigtails with her finger. She glanced over at Chibi-Usa. "I'd even sit next to the spore right now..."
Chibi-Usa made a face. "I wouldn't sit next to you if my life depended on it!"
Usagi grinned evilly. "Well then, I think it's time for you to go to bed."
As if on cue, a loud crash came from the attic.
Chibi-Usa wailed. "I'm scared!"
Motoki offered to follow her up to her room and tuck her in. Chibi-Usa readily agreed and the two dismissed themselves. Hotaru excused herself politely, dismissing herself to "retire for the evening with Chibi-Usa."
"I'll be right back," said Motoki. "Go ahead and continue the story without me."
Criminologist: Those are famous last words. The famous last words that he spoke. "I'll be right back," those be the famous last words. But the story continued as thus. And this is how the story continued:
"And so the group curled together, playing games, and keeping themselves occupied, while upstairs a fiend plotted their future... the couples were guessing wildly at one of the male members of the group as a game of Charades raged on. Lightning crashed through the air, much closer this time than it had been before. The lights went out and the women screamed. The boyfriends had just managed to calm them down when suddenly something large and heavy crashed upstairs."
Everyone's eyes opened wide in fright.
"'I'll go check it out' bravely announced one of the male members of the crew. He hugged his girlfriend and ascended the stairs..."
Motoki's voice filled the house. "Guys?"
Rei screamed. Haruka pulled closer into Michiru and looked into her eyes for reassurance.
"Do the lights down there work at all? I think the power might be out..." continued Motoki.
Makoto stood and flipped the light switch back and forth, but with no result. Mamoru looked slightly upset, but shouted back.
"Nope, powers out down here to. Must be the storm."
"Alright, don't worry!" shouted back Motoki. "I found a flashlight!"
Mamoru let a silence fall for a few moments and collected his thoughts before continuing his story.
"And thus the brave individual was joined by his date as they went to discover the source of the noise. The others spoke nervously in the living room as they waited for the response, but one wasn't coming. Five, ten, fifteen minutes passed... and then..."
"GGGGAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" A scream filled the air as thud, thud, thud, Motoki came bounding down the stairs. He fell halfway and slid down the stairs. He scrambled up and lept over the couch, cuddling up next to Minako. He breathed heavily.
"Not now Motoki, everyone else is watching," blushed Minako.
"Did you put them to bed?" asked Usagi nervously.
Everyone was grasping for conversation to try and settle their own nerves from the sudden scream.
Motoki shook his head and stared into nothingness. "IT got them..." he whispered under his breath.
A hushed, albeit very nervous silence fell over the crowd.
"IT?" asked Ami nervously.
"Hai... IT..." repeated Motoki.
Usagi glared at Mamoru. "Where exactly did you get this ghost story Mamo-chan?"
"It... it... it's just an urban legend..." muttered Mamoru under his breath.
"My teacher told it to me once when I was misbehaving. She said 'IT' would come after me if I wasn't quiet."
"Mamo-chan what is 'IT'?" Usagi asked clinging to him.
Putting his hand behind his neck he laughed embarrassed. "Uh I don't rightly know."
Rei got up and shook Mamoru's arm. "What do you mean you don't know? Mamoru this isn't funny!" The flashlight fell to the ground and began flickering.
Minako bent worriedly over Motoki. "Toki-chan daijobu?" A shivering figure was all the response that she could register. "Something's wrong with Toki-chan I-I-"
"Minako-chan nani?" Minako only stared and pointed her finger.
Just then Mamoru's flickering flashlight flickered it's last flicker and the light disappeared.
"KAMI!!!"
Criminalogist: And the sound of a scream filled the air. Yes, the air was filled with a bloodcurdling sound and all fell silent... *taking a smoke of his pipe* until a new sound filled the room. A sound called the doorbell. Yes the doorbell stopped the silence. The doorbell resounded throughout the silent room after the bloodcurdling scream.
*DING DONG*
"Nani? Was that the doorbell?" Someone asked.
"I'll get it..." said Usagi hesitantly.
"NO!" shouted everyone simultaneously.
"We don't want to endanger anyone else. Kami only knows what's going on here!" shouted Rei.
"Where's Setsuna?" asked Ami suddenly.
Everyone gasped. "First Chibi-Usa and Hotaru, and now Setsuna! What's going on here!?!"
The doorbell rang again.
"I'm going to get that!" said Usagi. "Maybe they'll know what's going on!"
Usagi had crossed the room and threw open the door before anyone could object. Standing on Usagi's unlit porch stood two figures. One, a short red-headed woman with a very logical air about her. The other, a taller man with short, brown hair and dressed in a suit.
"Can I help you?" Usagi asked with as much composure as she could gather.
The red-head flashed a badge at her. "FBI. I'm agent Scully, this is agent Mulder..."
