A/N: Here's the first chapter of the Novelization of this story. I'm not sure if some of you figured it out already, but I'll keep silent on the two mysterious guys in the prologue.

In the meantime, let's go. I only own Simon, Jake, Savanna and Lusie/Chibiusi/Future-Mini-Moon. The rest are not mine, unfortunately.


Chapter one: Finding a present for Ellie.

The Ice Age village-established by the Sailor Team when they returned home after the battle against Xemnas. With Sora, Riku, Kairi, King Mickey, Donald and Goofy having returned to their home worlds in the universe they named Kingdom Hearts, our Sailor Team heroes begin their lives in helping their Ice Age member friends and the other animals to live comfortly in the Mountains outside of Duloc. When they returned home in Duloc, they found more Ice Age animals have been revived and the team took it upon themselves to give them a home in the snowy mountains where they, including Manny and his herd, would begin their lives anew and make a fresh start.

For a quick reminder of who the Sailor Team is, well, it goes like this.

First, are the first members of the Sailor Team; Serena/Sailor Moon, Darien/Tuxedo Mask, Amy/Sailor Mercury, Raye/Sailor Mars, Lita/Sailor Jupiter, Mina/Sailor Venus, Rini/Sailor Mini Moon, and Lusie/Future-Mini-Moon.

Next, are Sakura Avalon, Madision Taylor and Keroberos-Aka; Kero.

Then there's Ash Ketchum, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, May, Max, Dawn, Piplup and Casey, and if you want to count Team Pokepals of a Piplup who was originally a human, Chimchar, and Grovyle.

There's also Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and Puss, who are more members than the Fairy-Tale gang who just hang around in a group of their own but are still friends to the group, not to mention that there are Shrek and Fiona's triplet's-two boys and a girl who were born only a year ago.

Finally, there's the Ice Age herd-Manny, Ellie, Sid, Diego, Crash and Eddie.

The aqquinted members who are in other worlds are Sora, Riku, Kairi, King Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and the Radiant Garden Restoration Committee-Leon, Cid, Aerith, and Yuffie. Recently, Cloud, a silent swordsman whom the Sailor Team met a year ago, has also become an ally, and then there's Tifa, a young martial artist and a young woman who seems to have known Cloud for a long time.

And there's another team who are friends and allies rather than a rival team to the Sailor Team-The Dark Moon team, with Kaylie-Aka: Sailor Dark Moon, as the leader, Dusknoir, an former enemy and now turned friend as her partner, Simon, Jake and Savanna, three of them being Pokemon trainers, Aladdin, Jasmine, Genie, Abu and Carpet of Agrabah in the Orre region. Iago was originally a member himself, but after the wedding of Aladdin and Jasmine, he decided to join Aladdin's father-Cassim-to explore the world to find a place for both to belong.

Anyway, getting off track, the Sailor Team were in the Ice Age village, just waiting for Serena and Darien to arrive. Due to both of them being the new rulers of Duloc after the nasty Farquaad's demise a year ago, Serena and Darien were much more liked than the previous ruler by the people of Duloc who all began to start life in the way the people on Earth would-21st Century style, even if the said century won't start until next year.

As when the group were about to call Serena or Darien on the Commuicator, they heard footsteps and turned to see Serena waving and running up to them, before she reached them and panted despite it being cold up in the mountain, which the group sighed. Serena was notorious for being late at pretty much almost everything.

"You're late again." Raye stated as she looked at her friend in annoyance.

Misty shook her head, saying, "She's always late, like Mina."

"What's that suppossed to mean!?" Mina protested, but Misty ignored her.

Serena looked up, scratching her head in embarrassment and sheepishly said, "Sorry. Darien and I had a few issues with our duke at Castle Duloc and..." just as Darien walked up behind her and greeted the group, which she noticed and turned to look at him happily and lovingly.

"Aww!" Donkey cooed, "You two were definately meant for each other." as he lookde at the other couples-Shrek and Fiona, Manny and Ellie-and added, "Just like Shrek, Fiona, Manny and Ellie!" which caused the three couples to blush at this, while everyone else sighed or shook their heads.

As if trying to save everyone from the embarrassed situation, Ash then spoke up, "Now that we're here, let's get the day started!" punching the air with his fist in excitement, with Pikachu echoing and copying him.

"I can't wait to get started." Lusie, the newish younger member of the team from the 40th century, said. "I wanted to help the deer family all week."

"Yeah, and when we finally had everyone in the village settled in, it'll be like a new age of Ice Age. If that makes sense." Rini, the second youngest member of the team from the 30th Century and is both Lusie's to be-mother and is also Serena and Darien's future daughter.

Sakura on the other hand, looked around with an uncertain expression and she muttered, "I just hope everyone here doesn't get nervous. I still feel a little bad for them."

"It'll be okay, Sakura." Madision said to her best friend. "As long as the animals stay here in the mountains, I don't think anyone in Duloc or even on Earth would ever disturb them."

At this time, Manny, who was glancing at Ellie who didn't seem to be in a good mood lately, except for today, approached Serena who noticed the male Mammoth's approach. "Serena, can I talk to you?" Manny whispered.

"Sure, what is it?" Serena replied. She listened to what Manny was whispering to her so that the others wouldn't hear, and when he was done, she grinned and saluted at him, saying, "You can count on me and Sid." in a soft tone.

She then looked around and finally noticed that the said sloth was missing...or so she thought. She, and the others as they also noticed, found him sprawled on the snow, snoring away in dreamland, which made them all sweatdrop in annoyance. While the others were having a conversation, Serena approached the sleeping/lazy sloth, and pulled out a microphone out of nowhere.

Taking a deep breath, she yells through it while it echoed her words in high volume, "UP AND AT'HEM!" which made Sid jump awake in fright, much to Serena's sastifaction.

"AH! Wha!-Who! Up and At them?" Sid yelped and asked, before rubbing his eyes tiredly and yawned, before standing up.

Serena smiled, "Good to see that you're awake, Sid." before she looked at the others and, seeing that they were not noticing, turned back to her friend and whispered to him to his ear, "You and me have to get past Ellie so we can sneak out. It's a secret mission." leaning back, she gave him a wink.

Seeing the wink, and actually excited to do something fun, since it's been quiet and peaceful for the past three weeks since the defeat of Organization XIII, Sid grinned, and gave Serena thumbs up, saying, "Secret mission? Roger!" a bit too loudly, so she shushed him, and made sure the others didn't hear them.

"Not so loud! Manny is distracting the others, so you and me better hurry." Serena said, leading Sid to the small alley leading into the cavern area the led up to a cliff. However, Ellie was there, which made things a bit complicated.

"Rats." She softly cursed. Then Serena thought of an idea, turned to Sid and said, "Sid, I need you to distract Ellie while I sneak out. Good luck." patting him on the back and quickly hid behind rocks, much to Sid's dismay, knowing that he didn't have any other choice.

Sid approached the female Mammoth who noticed him and she was surprise. "Sid, you're awake!" Ellie greeted, giggling. "Is it noon already?"

"Ahhh, that's a good one." Sid said, quite nervously but tried to hide it. He didn't want to let Serena down, so he tried to ask an unusual question. "Say uh, Ellie, does-does the sun feel very warmer on ya?"

While this was going on, Serena was hiding behind the ledge, then hid and crawled her way towards the alley, while Ellie was distracted by Sid. "Uh, no? Why?" Ellie asked. She was about to look where Serena was, but Sid quickly pulled her gently away to make her look at him.

"Well, you uh, might wanna look up, to let it soak in!" Sid stumbled.

Ellie pulled away from Sid and told him that her eyes were staying, since she knew she didn't want to get blinded by the sun, and walked away, much to his relief, as he called out, "Good, then that means it's working!"

"Sid! Over here!" Serena called out once Ellie was gone. Sid approached her in the alley, and the teen smirked, "Well, well, well. Very impressive, Sid. That is impressively sneaky!" she phrased.

Sid sighed in relief, and Serena said with a grin, "Now time to find a special gift for Ellie!"

"What!?" Sid gapped, then asked in annoyance, "Wait a minute, that's the secret mission?"

Serena shrugged, "It's Manny's idea, since he noticed that Ellie is getting a little crabby lately, but don't say anything." before gesturing him to follow her, and the two walked on to their destination to find something perfect for Elile. They wanted to find something that would last for a long time, but not too dangerous.

They both found a few obsticales, carefully jumping over ledges, climbing up some ledges, and even had to climb up some rocky-walls, until finally, they were on the top of the small ledge which was pretty high and looking over the rest of the Sailor Team down below. On the ledge, was a single tree, and a beautiful floating crystal that could be found around snowy areas in the Fairy-Tale world, which Serena had noticed a year back on the first trip to Far Far Away to meet Fiona's parents.

She smiles at the sight of the crystal. "Wow, check out that Crystal." she said, before she grinned. "Perfect!"

Serena turned to Sid and told him, "Alright, Sid. You're a tree expert."

But the Sloth looked at the crystal nervously, seeing that the crystal was floating over the group down blow, a little too far off from the ledge for someone like him, and told Serena, "Serena, I'm a Sloth. We're not ones for foot tolalence."

"You lived in a tree before we met, remember? So you're a "Tree Sloth"." Serena said as she looked at him skeptically. "Besides, I'm too short to reach it."

Despite being nervous and that he, like Serena, didn't like heights, Sid then remembered that back in his first life 20,000 years earlier, he did live in a tree before his family decided to ditch him. So, he replied, "Oh. Well, then, make way for the expert." as he walked passed Serena before stopping on the edge of the cliff. He then tried to reach out without falling as far as he could, but only manages to touch it, before he loses his balance and falls, screaming, the Crystal falls shortly after. Serena gasped before rushing back down to see if Sid was okay.

He lands back on the ground on his head, before collasping onto the snow, as the crystal hits him on the head before landing on the ground. Sid was behind Ellie who heard something and turned to see what happened, and she gasped worriedly.

"Sid! Are you alright? Does it hurt?" Ellie asked worriedly, almost like a mother or older sibling.

Not wanting Ellie to see the present so soon, Sid got up and stood in front of the crystal to hide it, and faked his complaints, "O-only if I breath, or talk, or sigh...ow! Ow! See?"

Just then, Serena approached, picked up the crystal, stood in front of Sid, and held out the crystal to Ellie, saying proudly, "Ta-da!(with the cue of the "Ta-da" fanfare*Pokemon anime style* going off in the background) A friendship gift, from all of us!" and gave it the She-moth who smiled, admiring the crystal, as the others approached.

"Oh wow! It's beautiful!" Ellie exclaimed happily, and thanked Serena and the others.

While most of the others gathered around Ellie admiring the crystal, Manny gathered up Serena, Sid, Ash, Pikachu, Shrek, Crash, Eddie, Puss and Donkey on a plan to find two more presents to give to Ellie.

"Do you guys know what goes with this Crystal?" Manny asked.

The others looked at each other, puzzled, before Ash looked at him skeptically, since the eleven year old wasn't one for romance, and asked, "A Store?"

"Nope, more crystals." Manny answered, leading the group to another path in the valley they were in. "I saw one behind the tree wall." and the group followed him towards their destination.


By the end of the day, Serena and Sid, with the help of Ash, Pikachu, Crash and Eddie for the third crystal, gathered two more crystals for Ellie. At the third spot for the crystal, after escaping angry birds that lived in the nesting grounds, the six of them were at another ledge where the last crystal floated.

"Today worked like a charm." Serena said, smiling.

Ash turned to Sid and told him, "Sid, you should feel proud of yourself."

"You know, I do feel proud of myself." Sid replied. But has he took another step, the ice underneath him began to crack up, and just as he managed to grab the crystal, the ice gave way, and he was left sliding down the hill like on a slide, screaming away, before he was flown over the cliff and into the air, back to where the others were, as they witnessed him crashing into some ledges down below, and finally...

He landed flat on the ground, while the crystal flew out of his paws and landed in Ellie's trunk, which she was surprised again and admired the third crystal she got today.

"From your leader and brothers with love." Sid said weakly, before 'fainting' briefly, just as Serena, Ash, Pikachu, Crash and Eddie arrive and gaze at Ellie with smiles, with Crash slightly pushing Sid on the side to see if he's still alive which he is.

Ellie smiled, "You guys spoil me."

Manny scoffed softly, "Pfft! It better be good than the other junk they bring." only to see Ellie's warning glare, and he stuttered, "Okay! Okay! It is." which the glare softened.

"Does anyone wanna spoil me?" Sid asked, before passing out, for real this time.


After spending the day in finding gifts for Ellie and getting the ice age animals settled in, the group returned to their homes that they moved in in Duloc and in the some other areas close by, and by late afternoon, Serena and Darien were strolling down the streets, finally having time to themselves, with people closing their shops for the day.

"So how does it feel having life like this?" Darien asked.

Serena looked up at him and she said, "It was a little scary at first, but then I realised that this was life now, and that at least I have you and our friends and families with me all the time. Plus, I have to admit, this is a little easier than school lessons." since it was true, because she found she was better at living life in the Fairy-Tale world, though she tends to visit her parents back on Earth.

"Are you happy?"

"Of course I am!" She beamed. "Everything is back to normal. Sora finally found Riku and Kairi and returned home, and Donald and Goofy found King Mickey, and Xehanort is ancient history."

Darien smiled, and added, "And we have each other." which made Serena giggle, before they both stopped, and, making sure that they were alone, find a peaceful spot for themselves and lean in for a kiss.

They believed that they could live out a life in peace finally...if only they knew that that's not always the case.


Somewhere in the Dark Depths outside of Maleficent's castle in the world of Radiant Garden, a Grovyle with a bluish-green coloured scales appeared out from a portal of green lights, before stumbling and then collasped onto the ground, unconscious. It was an hour later, that the Grovyle woke up, groaning, and stumbled as he stood up, holding his head with a claw, disorientated.

"What...where am I?" he asked, speaking in surprisingly human language. He looked around to see that he was in an unfamiliar place. "What is this place?"

In fact, he couldn't remember much. What happened?

Up on the cliff overlooking the dark castle, Sephiroth, who hasn't been seen in a while since after the Heartless attack before the Organization's defeat, saw the Grovyle, and held a cruel smirk. He knew what this meant.

"So he's still alive." Sephiroth thought to himself. "It's a pity that Cloud and that girl don't remember yet." before teleporting away to form his own agenda.


A/N: We continue the somewhat daily lives of the Sailor Team, though in the next chapter, Serena will begin to discover something that will lead her and the group and other allies into another true adventure.

While we wait for the next chapter, please review fellow readers, and I'll see you next time.
