The Green Monster Called JEALOUSY
PART 1 OF 2

The swish of the door along with the chime of bells at the arcade door, made a group of girls sitting at the counter turn their heads in anticipation.

"Finally!" shouted an enraged black haired girl. "You had better have a damn good reason as to why you are so late, Blondie!"

Said 'Blondie' began to giggle furiously, but was shortly interrupted by the blue haired girl. "Don't worry about her Minako," the blue-headed girl said with ease. "She's just mad because a certain temple-helper has a girlfriend."

"I'm not worried Ami," Minako reassured. "But if I didn't know any better, I would say that you are jealous Rei."

"I am not!" she huffed indignantly.

"Keep tellin' yourself that," Minako mumbled under her breath. "Anyway, I have a real good excuse as to why I am late. Everyone, meet Lina Hoshi. Lina just transferred to my school from America."

"Hi," replied a girl with short brown hair. "Mina was in some of my classes and decided to make her my personal tour guide of Tokyo. I've been here a few weeks, but haven't really been able to see the sights."

"What's to see," mumbled a depressed Rei.

"That mumbling idiot with the black hair is Rei. The one with her nose in the book is Ami. And on the other side of her is Makoto and Usagi, respectively."

"Hi," they all replied at the same time.

"So why did you decide to move to Tokyo?" Usagi, the blonde haired girl with two pigtails asked.

"Well it wasn't really my decision, it was my dad's," Lina replied.

"Duh Odango Brain," Rei mumbled.

"But I suggested Tokyo. It just seemed like the right place to come. I've been so fascinated with Japanese culture. And I wanted to come see a long time friend of mine," she answered.

"Take that, Pyro," Usagi teased then proceeded to stick her tongue out. Rei followed her example and a tongue war broke out.

Minako interrupted Usagi's and Rei's tongue spat. "Oh Lina! Tell them who you're related to," Mina urged, a huge grin breaking out on her face. "You guys are gonna love this."

"My cousin on my father's side is Michuri Kaioh, the violinist," she answered.

"Wow!" everyone squealed. Another figure appeared behind Lina.

"Lower the decibles, Odango," a suave voice from behind replied.

"Why you good for nothing-"

Suddenly Usagi's attention was fixated on Mamoru, who currently had his hands placed over Lina's eyes.

"So when were you gonna tell me you got into town?" he asked. Lina squealed and turned around jumping into Mamoru's arms.

"Mamoru-chan!" Mamoru wrapped her in a hug.

"SO, when were you gonna tell me? It's sad enough that I had to hear it from Motoki," Mamoru gestured to the sandy blonde behind the counter.

"Motoki! You told him!" Lina pouted. The other five (forgotten) girls watched the scene unfold in front of them with one question on their mind: If Lina just moved here how does she know Mamoru and Motoki?

"Well, he wouldn't have had to tell me if you would have," Mamoru stated.

"I was going to tell you when Takae got into town," Lina answered. "But he's been having some trouble with his visa."

"Lina-chan," Minako interrupted. "Didn't you say you had to be somewhere at 5:00 p.m.?"

Glancing at the clock on the arcade wall, Lina cursed silently under her breath in English. "Shit! I was supposed to head over to my dad's gym. My JO (junior Olympic) boxing class starts in 10 minutes. My dad is gonna kill me!"

"Seito, I will drive you," Mamoru offered. "I'll just need to know where the gym is."

Hearing this, Lina lunged at Mamoru and threw her arms around him. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"No problem," Mamoru said. "My motorcycle is around back."

"Do you still have your Harley Davidson?" Lina asked.

"Hell ya! 'Cept I upgraded," Mamoru smiled devilishly at her.

"Well then what are you waiting for?" Lina asked pushing Mamoru out the door. Both left.

----Behind the Arcade----

"So do you think it worked?" a voice whispered.

"Like a charm," the other voice replied.

----Inside the Arcade----

"So what was the deal with that?" Rei asked, a bit peeved.

"Yeah he totally blew me off! No 'hi, Odango Atama. Fail any tests today?' I mean what was so special about her?" Usagi fumed.

"I think someone is jealous," Minako stated with an all knowing smile.

"Am not" Usagi retorted.

"Are too," everyone (meaning Minako, Ami, Rei, Makoto and Motoki) replied.

"Argh!" Usagi screeched leaving the arcade.

----Later that night----

"I really don't see what the big deal about this is," Luna, a black cat with a crescent moon on her forehead stated. "I mean I thought you would be very grateful if the and I quote 'biggest baka on the face of the Earth' left you alone."

"I should," she answered. "But I'm not. It's the strangest thing really. I mean it's like routine. I get up every morning run into Mamoru on my dash to school. After school and detention I go to meet the girls at the arcade, run into Mamoru and we start an argument. It's the cycle of how everything should be done. Now this Lina chick steps into the picture and the cycle is broken. What am I supposed to do now?"

"If you want my honest opinion, I think you should wait it out and see. I mean it's not like this Lina is Mamoru's girlfriend or anything so there's no real reason why she should be hogging up Mamoru's time," Luna answered.

"That sounds right. But what if she is Mamoru's girlfriend?" Usagi answered.

"Usagi, I'm gonna be blunt with you," Luna started. "If you are afraid of losing Mamoru's attention and you fear that Lina is in fact his girlfriend, then I would say you are jealous and your feelings for Mamoru are deeper than they appear."

"Meaning," Usagi asked.

"Meaning that you like Mamoru in a more than friendly way," Luna concluded.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Scrambling off the bed, Usagi flipped open the top of her communicator. "Moon here."

Rei's face came on the screen. "Usagi we need you at the shrine pronto. There is a huge youma attacking a group of tourists and I can't transform."

"All right Rei, I'm on my way," Usagi confirmed. "Luna call the girls Youma attack at the shrine."

Jumping out of her second story window, Usagi ran in the direction of the shrine. Getting there in record time, Usagi muttered her henshin phrase and leaped into action as the pretty guardian of love and justice, Sailor Moon.

"Stop right there!" she commanded of the creature attacking the tourists. "A shrine is a place of worship. How dare you show your evil face in a place of good. In the name of the moon I will punish you!"

"You punish me? I don't think so!" the creature shouted then lunged a slimy tentacle at Sailor Moon. Dodging it with ease, she jumped out of the way, only to have another hit her across the back. Falling to the ground, she looked up in time to see another headed her direction.

"Time to go," an all too familiar voice called out. Suddenly Sailor Moon was lifted away from the battle.

"Tuxedo Kamen-sama," she whispered breathlessly. "Thank you."

Tuxedo Kamen smiled at Sailor Moon as they landed on the ground. Almost reluctantly, he released her and set her on the ground. Turning back towards the battle, he ran towards the youma, Sailor Moon fast on his heels. Tuxedo Kamen stopped, causing Sailor Moon to almost colliding into his back. Peering out over his cloaked backside (and what a nice backside it was) she noticed a girl in a sailor fuku she had never seen before.

While she was busy staring at the new ally(?), Tuxedo Kamen stormed over to the girl. "What the hell do you think you are doing?"

The girl was dressed in the customary sailor uniform with her sailor skirt fading from white to gray to blue to black. Her body suit of the fuku as well as the gloves were silver instead of the customary white. The boots were black and knee-high like Moon and Mercury's and her short brown hair was up in pigtails. The picture this girl made struck a distant memory in Sailor Moon.

"What do you mean?" the girl asked coyly. "I am only defeating this youma you so rudely interrupted me from."

The masked man looked at her with anger in his eyes. "You know very well what I mean!"

Suddenly, the youma decided since the two were distracted he/she would attack them. Unfortunately, it wasn't one of his/her wiser moves.

"Now look what you have done?" the girl screamed at the masked man. "This creature is trying to attack us all because you had a bug up your ass!"

"I told you not to get involved with these youma!" Tuxedo Kamen argued back. Several of the creatures tentacles were closing in on them. Sailor Moon began to run towards the two superheroes.

"Silver Shield!" the small girl shouted. Suddenly a transparent silver lining appeared in front of the girl and Tuxedo Kamen. Sailor Moon stood stock-still.

"That's it! Now I am pissed!" the girl screamed. "I can't even have a decent conversation without some dumb Youma from the Dark Kingdom trying to attack me!"

Her shield disappearing, having repelled the attack, she called out her next attack. "Silver Star Shimmer Shower!"

Millions upon millions of tiny silver stars shot out of her hands completely obliterating the creature. Sailor Moon stood fixed to her spot. Never had anyone except her been able to completely destroy a creature with that much power and that little effort.

Conveniently the rest of the Sailor Scouts arrived on the scene just in the nick of time to watch the girl destroy it. Tuxedo Kamen was about to make his usual exit along with the sailor-suit wearing female, until he was stopped by five very angry looking Senshi.

"Who are you?" Mars questioned pointing at the newcomer.

"I am Sailor Star, champion of love and justice, protector of the Moon Princess Serenity and keeper of the Mystical Star Crystal," the girl responded.

"Are you a friend or a foe?" Jupiter skeptically questioned.

"I believe my intentions as well as Kamen-chan's would have proved to be that of a friend and ally," she replied.

"Are you the princess?" Sailor Moon asked.

Sailor Star looked down at the ground before answering. "The Princess is…"
