Hope you guys like the chapter! I would appreciate feedback/thoughts or questions :)

Since the Crown had to close, Andrew, Mina, Serena and Ken started heading home. Serena's communicator went off and she was able to hear that there was a Youma a few blocks away. Ken heard the noise and asked what it was but she was able to avoid his questions. She had bigger problems. How was she to convince her over protective cousin to let her walk home so she could go join the fight?

"Hey Ken, I'm going to catch up to Andrew, I left my wallet inside"

"Just get it tomorrow Sere, it's pretty late"

Before he could argue with her, she dashed off. Finding a safe spot , she began her transformation.

"Moon Prism Power!"

She was engulfed in the beautiful array of colors that indicated the emergence of the soldier of love and justice. However, she did not expect to have an audience.

"Sere?"

Oh no.. Oh god I did not need a witness. Serena was not ready to face Ken, she had a
fight to get to. He seemed to understand this, she heard him call out that he'd wait there for her.

Tuxedo Mask had actually been the first to get to the fight. Darien had been walking aimlessly when he stumbled upon the youma attack. Since he had no way to signal the scouts that there was an enemy, he had to face it alone. He knew he could not do much, but he could hold off the monster till the scouts got there. It was at least ten minutes until he heard the footsteps of someone else.

Sailor Moon had just arrived, but he only caught the last words she spoke. She had seen Tuxedo Mask dodging and she saw he looked tired. The youma was wearing him out so she called it out to get it away from him.

The youma, who resembled a cross between a lamp and a woman, was now running towards Sailor Moon.

Oh man, what should I do now? It doesn't look weak enough to take out with my tiara. I wish the girls were here..

"Mars fire, ignite!"

"Sailor Mars! Am I glad to see you!"

"Sailor Moon, dust it now, before it gets back up again."

"Kay."
"Moon tiara action!"

With the youma defeated, Tuxedo Mask left. Sailor Mars realized Moon had been alone in the fight and went on a rant.

"Where was Jupiter and Mercury? Didn't they get a call?"

"I'm not sure, when I got here, Tuxedo Mask had already been keeping the youma away from the people, and then you came. I thought they were with you but I see they aren't"

Mars was pretty mad. Her date had been over so she had rushed to the fight as soon as possible. But she had been in the middle of a bath so the youma only made her frustrated. It had interrupted her only time left to relax. She wasn't mad at Moon; for once, she was being responsible. However, where were Jupiter and Mercury? They had no justification.

Sailor Moon remembered she had someone waiting for her.

"Gotta go Mars! Can't stay out too late, you should head home too"

"Yeah, good job Moon". With that Mars dashed off, and Moon smiled, her friend was hardly one to compliment her job as a scout. Maybe her hard work was really starting to pay off. She leaped off, headed back towards Ken.

Another scout had been watching the fight, and she too headed off once everyone was gone. She had seen the fight and was disappointed her scouts weren't fighting as a team.

Meanwhile, Ken was waiting for Serena besides his car, and he led her inside once she got there.

"There's so much I want to ask you, but I think I'll wait till tomorrow. We can get lunch somewhere and then talk about this. I can't keep you out any longer or both our parents will have a fit."

"Okay, sounds good."

They rode in silence till they got home. Their parents still had a few friends over, so they both left to their rooms and soon fell asleep. It had been a long day.

Serena and Ken were out pretty early, for Serena's standards. She had been awake before 9am, Ken had woken her up because he wanted to go a new brunch place his dad had recommended. He knew Serena would take forever, and so they were out the house before 11.

"Why do you take so long getting ready? Do women do this just to torture us?"

"You're so funny Ken." Serena laughed at him. He made a face.
"You'll never get a girl with those rude comments"

Ken pulled her hair. Sometimes she could get too cocky. Serena was used to the occasional 'fight' with Ken, so she stepped on his foot. They never kept it up, it was always an unspoken rule the other person could get even and that was it. They were best cousins, but they definitely got on each other's last nerves sometimes.

"So what's the place called?"

"It's a quaint brunch place. Dad's paying. Apparently it's his favorite place to eat when he's in Tokyo. It's called Luna Palatium".

Serena wrinkled her nose. "Well as long as they have good food that's all that matters"

At the café, they had a reserved place. Apparently, Ken's dad was a loyal customer. They even did catering for him. They were able to talk quietly, and Serena was able to tell Ken about her first day as a scout, and meeting Luna.

"She can talk? Wow. That's the icing on the cake."

"Yeah, just wait till she knows about you. You won't be able to get her to shut up."

Ken sweatdropped. Luna was known to have a temper, and if she could talk, yikes.

Serena continued to tell him about how she meet the scouts. She didn't tell him their civilian identities, because she felt it was up to them to decide who knew about their alter ego's.

"So you work with the scouts huh? And you're the leader?"

"Well yeah."

Ken seemed to be in full thought. He sipped his tea and then his face was that on enlightenment. "Who woulda thought quiet little Amy would be a scout?"

"WHAT?!"

"Well it's pretty obvious. You four are inseparable, who else could it be?"

"Was it that easy to figure out? Oh, what if everyone knows?"

"Calm down Sere, it's not obvious. Actually, before I knew who you were, I didn't recognize you at all. But now, it's like a veil has been lifted. The same for the girls. I actually tried to think who else you were close to, and I couldn't see Molly as a scout. Then I thought, hey Ami had just transferred to your school, and when I thought she looked a little like Sailor Mercury, I kept thinking about it, and then when you told me about them today, it just clicked. I guess you guys aren't recognized by others, but since I knew you were Moon, I had a connection to who the rest might be. Don't be scared though, I'm sure no one else has noticed."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, and if they find out, I'll keep them quiet" He winked at her. She laughed at his antics. He would do anything to cheer her up.

"Well I also wanted to talk to you about something that I haven't told anyone else."

"What's wrong Ken?"

"How about we got to the park? I don't think I can take another bite."

"Okay lemme just finish this last piece of cake"

At the park, they found a bench that was pretty secluded. Ken looked anxious, and a little scared. Serena pinched his cheek.

"Hey!" Ken flicked his finger on her forehead.

"Okay we're even, but that was to snap you out of that trance"

"Yeah, well I just trying to see how I would start this. Like I said, I haven't told anyone, and you're not making this any easier Sere"

"Sorry. Go on."

"Well, it has to do with what you said. You guys are looking for a princess right?"

"Yeah"

"Well ever since I was around 15, I've had these dreams, they would happen maybe once a month, or twice at the most. But then a few months ago, I started getting them like once a week, and I don't know what to do anymore. I thought it was some weird anxiety thing, but now that I know about your mission, my dreams seem probable."

"Is it about the princess?"

"Well no. It's actually a prince."

"A prince?"

"Yeah, I'm in some sort of palace, and everything is so blurry. But then I hear a voice, and they aren't calling me Ken, but another name. I can't remember the name, but it's definitely not Ken. So in the dream, the voice calls to me, and he sounds like a friend, and I want to go but as soon as I do, the voice disappears. Then all I see is a shadow of a man, and he says "Remember your duties to the prince. Remember me.."

"You're not kidding huh?"

"No, I'm quite serious. Like I said, I didn't think too much of it, but now, well I don't know what to think. I'm so confused"

"I know, we can ask Luna! Maybe she can help. She says she remembers being the royal advisor to the princess, maybe she can give us a clue to what your dreams mean"

"Thanks Sere." Ken was proud of her. She was clever, and many of her attributes were overlooked due to her clumsiness. But he laughed, he still couldn't believe his baby cousin was Sailor Moon, the champion of love and justice.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing, just forget it"

"Let's go get milkshakes then."

"But we just ate!"

"That was hours ago, time for a snack." Serena dragged him all the way to the Crown. She needed a milkshake everyday, and the brunch they had ate about an hour ago had been a milkshake free meal.
