Author's Note
This is officially my first fic here on and no, I don't own Sailor Moon. I'm happy to say that I've gotten into many more stories since then. Well, I'm running through all my other pieces and updating to a fairly uniform page style. Especially with scene changes. Hope this is better for everyone. Enjoy!
Serena or Catarina?
Chapter 1: Moon Princess Stolen
She stared at the symbols flashing on the screen. In her native tongue, she spoke rapidly to the man next to her, who nodded. Omniously, below the symbols was a picture of a girl with blond pig-tails. She smiled wide, and pulled out a device. Holding it next to the screen, an audio came up.
"Come on Raye! We can't," the voice started, but suddenly it was spoken in the tongue, as the two both smiled. They were gone immediately, as a new girl's voice was heard.
"Serena, you never know what would happen if you were—oh my god! SERENA!" the girl's voice exclaimed. The first girl was snatched on the screen by the man. "You put her down you—oh my god! Let me go! HELP! They're taking SERENA!"
And just as quickly as they had appeared on the screen, they were gone on the screen, back with the girl with long blond pigtails, who was unconscious. The girl who had been held still suddenly appeared on the screen, her raven colored hair was ruffled, and her expression fierce.
"Serena! Where are you? Answer me! SERENA! Come on! SERENA! COME BACK HERE WITH HER YOU BASTARDS! GIVE BACK SERENA!"
The two only laughed…
Raye burst in on the rest of the gang having a study session at Amy's house. Looking like a sweaty mess, the others simply stared.
"Raye?" they all asked.
"Serena's been kidnapped!" she gasped. The groups mouths dropped. Luna sprung to her feet.
"How did this happen?" she exclaimed. Raye's head dropped. "Raye?"
"I'm sorry you guys. I failed. We were talking, and this guy came out of nowhere. I tried to reach for him, but a woman grabbed me from behind, and I was struggling with trying to break free from her grasp. Just as quickly as they had come, there were gone and they had Serena with them," Raye said, feeling ashamed.
"Relax Raye," Amy said. "We'll get her back."
"Yeah," Mina said. "Search and rescue missions have always been our strong suit."
"Ken and the chickens," Lita said simply.
"Never mind," Mina said.
"So where do we start?" Lita asked.
Amy was already typing away. Raye shook her head.
"She didn't take it."
"She DIDN'T WHAT?" Amy asked.
"I asked her, and she said there was no reason for her to carry a scarf that just let us know where to find her. I was going to try and talk her into it and she was gone."
"That was a severe irony, right?" Mina asked innocently.
"Yes, this is a very good example of irony Mina," Amy replied. "At least we know the study sessions are working."
"Hang on Serena," Raye thought. "I'll make those bastards pay…"
Halfway across the globe, a girl sneezed to cover her startled jump.
"Catarina, what is it?" her teacher demanded.
"Nothing, just a cold," she replied, wrapping up further in her uncomfortable coat. She looked to the stars.
"It's so hot in this coat—oh well. I just thought I heard someone from so long ago—I'll make them pay—but who was it?" she thought, as she saw one star twinkle. "Please let me find them, twinkling star. Please let me find them…"
Lita looked around.
"What is it Lita?"
"Nothing," Lita said, smiling. "Probably just my stomach. Who's hungry?"
"How can you think about food?" Raye demanded.
"I just am hungry. We haven't eaten since breakfast. That's all," Lita replied, rushing off to the kitchen. She looked at herself in the kitchen mirror. "Am I going mad? I just heard someone talk. That's totally more than just the vibe or dreams I know Trista said I would sometimes be prone to. Well, better cook something or else the other girls will think I've lost my rocker…"
"So what can we follow her with?" Mina asked, as Amy was typing away.
"My backup plan. I put a normal person's signature into the computer. That way we can correctly tell ourselves apart from a crowd. Also, we know at this moment that we're alone here, so we can follow her across the globe if need be, just because we know she is the only one missing."
"All right for Amy and her genius!" Mina cheered.
"I'm surprised Darien hasn't responded yet," Amy said softly, and then slapped her mouth shut. "You don't think they took Darien, do you?"
"No, they wouldn't be that stupid," Luna said simply. "Only a moron takes Darien anymore."
"Ken and the chickens?" Mina asked.
"Ken and the chickens," Amy replied.
"It would seem I'm missed for some reason," a masculine voice said from behind. The girls jumped. "Where's Serena?"
"Um," the group gulped. His usually warm face fell cold at this proclamation.
"Oh, hi Darien!" Lita said warmly, returning with her freshly baked cookies. The group sweat dropped. "You didn't tell him, did you?"
"Tell me what?" Darien demanded.
"Darien, Serena's been kidnapped," Raye said simply.
"When did this happen?" Darien demanded.
"Twenty minutes ago," Mina replied, the group stared. "What? Can't anyone count down the minutes anymore?"
They sighed.
"I got it!" Amy cheered. "I know where she is."
"Where?" the group demanded. Lita set the cookies aside. Amy took a deep breath.
"America," she said, as they gasped.
"How are we going to get there?" Lita asked. The group looked around.
"A teleport could get us there in no time," Mina pointed out.
"But what will we tell our parents? Or Serena's for that matter?" Lita asked.
"We're having an extended sleepover at my house," Raye said simply. "We've all decided we're going to study really hard for the next test we have."
"That's a great idea!" Mina said. "Until they come to the temple for a visit."
"Grandpa can send anyone off the scent. I just have to talk to him about it," Raye replied.
"Well, if that's what you think is a good idea, then let's do it," Amy said. "We can prepare for a teleport tonight, and be in America and ready to rescue Serena."
"I'll make a business arrangement," Darien replied. "I will be there in the morning."
"That sounds like a rock solid plan girls. Get to it!" Luna said. The group fumbled out of the room, as Luna spied Artemis moving towards the cookie plate. "Artemis, you know you shouldn't eat those!"
"I know, but Lita's cookies are really—huh?" Artemis wondered, looking at the tray. "It's empty."
"What do you mean empty? I saw her put it down and no one touched it," Luna demanded, taking a look for herself, to find that the plate was indeed empty.
"I told you!" Artemis said matter-of-factly.
"That's strange. Very strange," Luna whispered…
"These are amazing!" she laughed, munching away at the cookies she had stolen right under the eyes of a group of slower beings. "I bet Mandessa would love some of these…"
