So choosing what to happen was a bit hard. But hopefully you enjoy it. Kim and Jade's outfits belongs to moonlightwink and Julie's outfit belongs to TsukiyoTenshi.

Queen Beryl looked at Jadeite who was floating unconscious on his back. Zoisite brought him to her only moments ago saying that his first flight took out too much energy from him. She smiled remembering the reason he needed to take 'flight'.
"Your feelings have caused you to make many mistakes." Waving her hands over the young Shitennou, he was covered in dark energy before shrinking down to a jadeite mineral stone. As she took it, she gave a sinister smile, "for now, regain your energy." She blew out a breath of dark energy which the mineral absorbed.
Hiding behind a part of the wall was Nephrite. He turned back and went down the hall before stopping and slamming his hand against the wall.
"That idiot Jadeite still gets Beryl-sama's love and even that little piano player gets more attention than me. I'm going to get that Gem if it's the last thing I do."

Kim, Moon Guardian, dressed in a grey knitted crop top, white high waisted shorts with white suspenders lined with rose gold metal, large grey cardigan and white TOMS, walked down the stairs to her house's kitchen. Her parents and younger brother were at the table and all looked at her when she walked in.
"Wow, you're up early." Cade said as he watched Nikki Ryder give an interview from a recording studio in London.
"Aren't you proud of me?" Kim teased as she poked her brother in the stomach, who let out an annoyed noise before glaring at his sister.
Kim's father shook his head as he watched his daughter pour out food for Luna, "Cade, your friend Jasmine won a contest for her classical doll making."
Kim shivered at the word dolls. Classical doll making was usually the old school porcelain dolls, but no matter how nice they looked, they always creeped Kim out. Give her ragdolls and plushies any day; send an old school doll her way, and she would be gone in less than 2 seconds flat.
"Cool. Hey Kim," Cade called over to Kim who was putting toaster waffles into the waffles, "wanna come by to Jasmine's house. I hear that she and her mom cover it in their prize winning dolls."
"Not funny Cade!" Kim snapped back
"Leave your sister alone sweetie. Unless you'd rather stay here during Kim's Halloween party?"
"No thanks, hey Kim," the blonde girl turned from spreading Nutella on her waffles to see Cade pointing at the clock.
"Oh shit! I'm gonna be late!"
"Kim, mind your language!" her mother yelled at the girl's retreating back.
Seaford High
Kim sat at her desk talking to her friends waiting for class to start. When she felt a pair of hands grab her waist, she let out a scream and spun around to see a few of the male members of the cheerleading squad behind her.
"Oh my god, you guys are so annoying!" she shrieked, trying to hit the cause of her scare
"Oh come on. You love us. Anyway, is a certain someone having their annual Halloween party?"
"Yep, this Saturday and please try not to give my parents jump scares. They almost cancelled on me this year."
"We promise." The boys coursed before walking away.
"I can't wait for the party. It's going to be so much fun." Donna said
"Think we can finally invite some college boys?" Gaby asked
"If they can get past my dad, go right ahead." Kim looked around for Julie to see her sitting at her desk surrounded by books, "I'll be right back."
Julie was wearing a black flowy off the shoulder top with floral print, black skinny jeans and brown combat style boots. Her fake glasses sat perched on her nose, which she pushed up as Kim approached
"Julie, are you doing anything this Saturday?"
"Um, this Saturday? Oh there's a party at the hospital my mom works at for the kids. I go every year, why?"
"Oh well I have a party every Halloween and I wanted to know if you wanted to come."
"Well, I can ask my mom if I could slip out early."
"Really? If you can't, that's fine." Kim said, excited that her friend was finally going to be spending a holiday with real friends.
"I think my mom wouldn't mind."
"Awesome, I'm inviting the others too. Think I can actually convince Jade though?"
"Maybe not, but I have to go and meet her after for some help in finding Sailor V. I can probably mention it."
"Really, oh thank you Julie!" Kim said, pulling the Mercury Guardian into a hug, "even if she says no, trust me, you'll have lots of fun with us. Plus my friends still want to talk to you but are just a little bit scared."
"Do I still come off as stand off-ish?"
"Not as much as you did before. Everyone notices how much happier you are, and that's all cause of me!" Kim said squeezing tighter, causing Julie to laugh.
After school, Kim was walking out with Kelsey. She had a free afternoon and was going to help Kelsey with her costume. Just as Kim dropped her skateboard and was about to skate off, two girls approached Kim. She noticed that they looked much younger than her, Cade's age almost.
"Excuse me, but are you Cade Crawford's sister Kim?" one of the girls asked
"Yes? What's going on?"
"It's the brother of yours. He broke Jasmine's prize winning doll and didn't even apologize." The other yelled
Waving her hands, as if to physically slow the conversation, "wait, what? Jasmine, the doll maker? What about her?"
"She wanted to give Cade her doll that won first place in the contest. Then his friends started to tease him and before he could take it out of her hands, he shoved them back in. she was so startled she didn't have time to catch the doll in time. The doll was broken and Cade just walked away, not even apologizing." The same girl explained
"Jasmine was in tears the whole day. You have to talk to the brute of a brother of yours."
"Don't worry, I will," turning to Kelsey, Kim said, "Sorry Kels, you're on your own. I have to go knock some sense into my brother."
"I'll text you my choices?" the cheerleader said as Kim turned her board around
"Yes. I'll see you later!"
Jasmine's house
Jasmine Long, a Hawaiian girl with mid length brown hair, sat in her room. She was the same Jasmine that had her doll broken by Cade. She sat at her desk working on the face of a new doll. She sighed when someone knocked on her door. "Come in."
The door opened the reveal an older looking Jasmine, except with grey hairs streaked throughout her shoulder length hair. "Jas, sweetie, why is it so dark in here?"
"The dark helps me concentrate. Besides, the natural light from the window helps me see the doll better than artificial."
"Just like you to have an answer. Can I see your new doll?" Jasmine passed the doll to her mother, "she looks like she's about to cry. This is very well done Jas. How about we compared it to your prize winning doll?"
Jasmine stiffened and ducked her head, "I-I, I don't have it?"
"Ee, why?" Ms. Long asked
"I lent it to someone." Jasmine said, her voice starting to crack.
"Who?" when Jasmine didn't answer for a while, her mother put the doll down and placed a kiss on her daughter's forehead, "maybe later then?"
"Yeah." With that, Jasmine's mother left. When she heard the door close, Jasmine went to the top drawer of the desk she was sitting at and opened it to reveal the broken prize doll. Dressed in Victorian clothes, the arms, legs and part of the face were shattered. With a shuttering breath, she broke down into tears. "Cade, baka! How could you?"
Negaverse
Nephrite walked into the practise room where Zoisite sat on his piano bench writing notes on a music sheet.
"Can I help you?" the burnet asked, his eyes not leaving the paper in front of him
"I need your help."
"If it's a flight you want, I'm not in the mood to be taking over gem or energy retrieval duty. If Jadeite couldn't handle it, I doubt you could."
"One, don't compare me to that oaf and two, that's not what I'm here for. I need to retrieve the Gem, yes, but we're low on energy to create good Youmas."
"Then why don't you go get some then." Zoisite said in a dismissive tone
"How? I don't have any good plans that the queen will approve of."
Putting his pen down, the pianist sighed, "Fine. I can teach you an easy spell that can be put on an item a person may truly value. It'll increase their energy and when it reaches its peak, said item will turn into a Youma. It'll be more powerful than the usual and it might make your job of defeating the 4 girls a bit easier."
"Teach me, now."
"Ah, ah, ah. Are you forgetting something?" Zoisite had the decency to look smug as the red haired Shitennou looked annoyed and let out a huff.
"Please. He gritted out.
"See, that wasn't so hard. Now pay attention, I'm only going to say this once. The spell's fairly simple; the hard part is finding the right person whose energy is almost at its peak." Starting to play Beethoven's 9th Sympathy, Zoisite closed his eyes and focused. He felt the energy of the earth flow through out him until he pinpointed on specific person. "You're target is Jasmine Long, a 12 year old girl who creates dolls as a hobby. Her energy is reaching its max peak. I can give you the address and the rest is up to you."
Crawford Residence
Cade had been lying on his bed, face first, Jasmine's tear stricken face replaying in his mind when Kim slammed his door open
"Cade Anthony Crawford, you heartless brat! You broke Jasmine's doll and didn't even apologize? What's the matter with you?"
"Go away." He muttered
"No. you sounded so excited for her winning that contest and then when she wants to give you that same doll that won, you break it? I don't want to know what was going through your head but I want you to apologize immediately. Or should I go and tell mom and dad what you did?"
"Nani, Kim no!"
"Then go apologize."
Cade sighed. Kim was right. He needed to tell her he was sorry.
Cade was standing on the street across from where Jasmine's house was, trying to talk himself into crossing the street.
"Come on Cade. You have to apologize. Granted you should of never of listened to those idiots of friends in the first place. Ok, I can do this." Just before he could however, a red sports car came down the street and stopped in front of the house. A man with ginger hair got out and approached the doorbell.
"Hello?" Cade could hear Mrs. Long say over the speaker
"Hi, this is Dylan Snyder. I called a few minutes ago?"
"Of course, come in through the gate. I'll be at the door soon."
'A visitor then? I guess I'll come back tomorrow.'
True to the tease that Cade gave Kim that morning, the living room of the Long's had the dolls that won awards or that the makers loved the most.
"I thought the art of classical doll making was lost, but this is truly amazing. Both of your works." Dylan or Nephrite, complimented
"Oh, thank you so much. Thank you also for taking an interest in selling some dolls for us."
"Not a problem. I was wondering Jasmine, the doll that won the contest, is it possible that I can see it? I didn't get a chance to see it properly."
"Oh, I'm afraid we don't have it. But, Jas why don't you show Mr. Snyder the new doll you're working on?"
With a nod, Jasmine brought down her new doll. She put on a pair of bloomers on it and gave the doll long wavy brown hair. She handed the doll to Nephrite before sitting next to her mother again
"This is very beautiful. The doll has such a sad face though." Disguising his hand as if he meant to push some of the hair away, he put his figure of the forehead of the doll, and quickly recited the spell. A strange looking mark appeared for a second and the sad face turned into a sinister face. "Can I ask you to make ten more copies of this doll?"
"Ten more?" Jasmine asked, "You think you can sell these dolls that quick?"
"Of course."
Clapping her hands, Mrs. Long spoke up, "I have an exhibition coming up this Saturday on Halloween. Maybe you can come; some of Jas's dolls will be in display then."
"Of course, I can't wait." Dylan said, trying hard to not let a smirk appear on his face.
Later, Jasmine sat at her desk, the finished doll in front of her, while she worked on another. The finished doll was in a brown Victorian dress with a matching bonnet. Mrs. Long looked at her daughter impressed
"I can't believe you finished one already."
"I know. I'm brimming with energy; I just had to start another one."
"Well, I'm glad you were able to finish, but sweetie, you missed dinner and it's getting late. You need to get your rest. Come on, put your stuff away and I'll make you a bowl of cereal before you go to bed."
The room got silent as Jasmine stopped moving her tool, "I need to finish this."
"I get it Jas, but it won't do you any good if you're tired. Come on."
Mrs. Long tried to take the tool away when Jasmine whirled around and roughly shoved her mother away, causing her to fall, "get away from me!" as mother and daughter stared each other down, the doll once again gained the sinister face as it hair started to rise ominously.
Cade stood in front of Jasmine's house, where her mother looked frazzled.
"Cade, I don't know what to do. Jas refuses to leave her room and has been making dolls day and night."
"Maybe I can talk to her?" It had been a few days since Jasmine was affected by Nephrite's spell. Cade, still scared of what Jasmine would say – much to the disappointment to his sister – hadn't gone to apologize. He hoped he could do that and find out what happened to Jasmine.
Knocking on her daughter's door, Mrs. Long called out, "Jas, sweetie, Cade is here to speak to you."
"Go away!"
"Jas, please! Please talk to me."
"No, go away!" Cade jumped back at the anger in Jasmine's voice
'Is she still upset about the doll? No that can't be it, but then what's wrong with her?'
Hikawa Temple
Jack pulled the rope that in front of the shrine and clapped his hands. With a quick prayer, Jack turned to leave, when he saw Jade over in the gift shop
"Hey, you're one of Kim's friends right?" he asked as he got closer
"Yeah. It's Jade." Jack shook the girl's hand. "What are you doing here?"
"Just asking for a bit of help finding something."
Jade nodded as she put tape on the back of a flyer and posted it on the post next to opening of the hut. Jack noticed it was a flyer for Mrs. Long's doll exhibition for that Saturday.
"What's this?" he asked
"Oh, a local classical doll maker is having an exhibition of all her and her daughter's dolls. I really want to go but I don't want to go by myself."
"None of your friends want to go?"
"Not really. We're going to Kim's Halloween party that night, so I don't want to bother them."
"Well, I have nothing to do that morning and I'm procrastinating on a paper I don't want to do, so if you want, I can go with you."
"Really?"
Jack shrugged, "I know we don't really know each other that well, but knowing my luck, I have a feeling I'll be seeing you and your friends more often."
"Awesome. We'll meet at the event centre at 9, kay?"
Kim sat at her dining table in front of a sewing machine, when Cade came in and flopped on a chair before letting his head hit the table.
"What's wrong?" Kim asked as she pulled the fabric away from the needle and cut the thread.
"I didn't apologize to Jasmine yet and when I went today, she totally changed. Kim she was so different, I mean, like really different. You don't think that she's like this because of what I did to her doll?
"Cade," Kim put her costume to the side and went to sit next to her brother, "look, I know it seems like she hates you but she probably doesn't. From what you've told me, she's a really sweet girl."
"Yeah, but Kim. This change, she's making dolls night and day, no sleep or eating. She actually pushed her mother to the floor for trying to stop her. I've never heard her yell or be angry but hearing her yell at her from behind her door…"
"Wait, why is she making dolls?" Kim asked, her eyebrows furrowed
"Some collector wants to sell them for her. He's collecting them at the exhibition that Mrs. Long is having on Halloween morning."
Kim thought before turning her attention back on Cade, "I have an idea. How about we go to this exhibition and you can take Jasmine a gift? Maybe you can make a clay doll for her?"
Cade gave a small smile and a nod, "yeah, ok. I still have clay left from my art project. Alright, I'll do it, thanks Kim."
After the blonde girl was sure her brother was out of earshot, Kim pulled out her phone and called all the Guardians on conference call.
"Guys, I think a Youma is nearby."
"What are you talking about?" Julie asked
"Cade, my brother, he has a friend that has had a total 360 in personality. It sounds almost like she building up energy, like the energy that Youmas steal."
"What about Luna?" Jade asked
Said cat, who had been hiding under the table the whole time, jumped up on to the table, "from what it sounds like, Cade's friend might have been taken over by a Youma. I think we all should go to the local classical doll making exhibition where his friend is most likely going to be."
"Wait, the one on Halloween morning?" Jade asked
"Yes, why?"
"Huh, this is gonna sound funny, but I was planning on going anyway and I didn't want to go by myself, so I asked Jack to come with me."
"Wait, Jack. As in Jerry's friend and the utter annoyance I tend to deal with?" Kim said
"Yep. I'll still keep my eyes open, promise."
Kim shook her head, 'well, stranger things have happened before.'
Saturday
Wearing jean shorts, a Hello Kitty steampunk shirt, green flannel shirt and black ankle boots, Kim followed her brother into the event centre. He looked extremely nervous and with good reason. One, his clay doll of Sailor Moon – Jade's favourite hero according to Cade – wasn't the best looking and two, the thought of Jasmine rejecting his apology bounced around in his mind. Kim just didn't want to be around the dolls for too long.
Nephrite was speaking to Mrs. Long as the blonde Guardian walked in, "the show is a big hit. Where's Jasmine though?"
"Oh, she's in the waiting room. Working on her dolls really pushed her hard."
"Is that so?" Nephrite asked, hiding his smirk
Jade looked at the dolls, keeping her senses open, but still trying to at least enjoy herself. She looked slightly out of place with the well dress people in her black yukata. It had the usual sleeve in black with red and white butterflies on them but from waist down it was a red layer skirt paired with her usual chunky boots. Her phoenix pin was on her black obi.
"This is so pretty. I can't believe the daughter made this."
Jack let out a sound to show he was listening but his face had another story. Jade turned to him and said, "Are you bored?"
"Hey, while being her is better than doing my essay, dolls still aren't my thing."
"I get that, but you never know what you might learn here."
"I guess." Jack shrugged
Turning jack around and pushing to another doll Jade said, "Perfect. I just want to get my fill in before I have to leave. Now let's go."
The two passed Nephrite as he was about to go to Jasmine. Jack stopped and looked over his shoulder, "have we met?"
Nephrite stopped and barely looked over his own shoulder before answering, "No, we've never met."
Kim was pushing her own brother to the waiting room where Jasmine was.
"Kim, I don't want to go."
"Cade, Mrs. Long practically told you to go and talk to Jasmine. Will you please go and just talk to her?" they finally reached the door to the waiting room and Kim opened the door. They saw Jasmine tie the bonnet of the last doll when the original doll that was sat sitting in front of Jasmine, started to radiate dark energy. It rose and turned into a human size wooden doll without the joints joined together properly with short brown hair and the same marking that was on the dolls forehead turned into a necklace that was around the Youma's neck. She let out a cackle as she stole Jasmine's energy.
"Jas!" Cade yelled out, running towards the girl but was thrown back and knocked out by a blast from the Youma. His wrapped gift flew away from him and found under the foot of the Youma who continued to cackle at Kim.
"You've got some nerve for hurting my brother!" She covered her pendent with her hands and said, "By the power of the playful rabbit that hides within the moon, grant me the power to transform! Moon Prism Power, Make up!"
In a burst of light, Kim was completely covered. Crescent moons flew around her, first placing her feet in cowgirl like pink boots trimmed in white. As it went up it covered her body in a sleeveless white top with pink around the collar in the manner of a Chinese top. It had a pink and grey corset like top layered over it with her locket now pin in the centre of her chest. Her short pink, grey, and white tier skirt had a pretty white gauze bow tied in the back that completed the outfit. As it went up to her face, pretty heart shaped earrings twinkled from her ears. A silver band went around her temple with a pretty pearl like jewel in the centre. She raised her hands and when the crescent went over them she had on fingerless white short gloves. Her blond hair became wavy in parts with small pearl like clips keeping her bangs steady.
"I am Sailor Moon, Solider of Love and Justice. In the name of the moon, Oshioki yo! My brother put his whole heart into making that doll you just smashed and you've used Jasmine with those horrible and way too creepy dolls and I won't allow it."
The Youma gave a frightening smirk when one of the dolls Jasmine was working on, came flying towards Kim. The doll had the same frightening look as the original with the added bonus of vampire like teeth.
Kim let out a scream and darted away and out the open window, screaming her head off as the Youma followed her. Quickly gaining on her, the Youma reached out to grab her when the entire battlefield was covered in a thick fog.
Julie and Jade landed next to Kim, who was leaned over taking deep breathes. Luna was on her shoulder trying to calm her down.
"Kim are you ok?"
"I'll be fine when I don't have to be around this creepy place any longer! I hate dolls!"
Luna's hair stood on end when she felt something coming, "girls, watch out!" two more dolls shot out from the fog. As Kim let out another scream, Jade pulled out two talismans, "I call upon the power of Mars, Akuryou Taisan!" the talismans hit the dolls in the head, removing the dark energy, causing the dolls to fall to the floor.
"I can't breathe!" Julie and Jade turned to see the Youma chocking Kim, Luna stunned against a tree, as the fog from Julie's attack lifted as well.
"Burning Devine Soul!" the shot of fire, caused the Youma to move away from Kim, but she left her hands still attached to her neck. Kim landed on her back, her hands still pulling at the wooden hands that continued to steal her breath.
"Your attacks are useless!" the Youma taunted as her arm limbs left her body and headed straight for the Guardians. The two dodge but one of the limbs passed by Jade and cut a few strands of her hair away.
"Julie, be careful! Her limbs are like knives."
Touching the gem on her headband and quickly pulling her hand down, a pair of blue goggles covered her eyes. The goggles acted as a scanner and computer for Julie to use during fights. "I'm detecting a large energy force coming from her left ankle. That must be her weak point." Julie mentioned as she and Jade continued to dodge the incoming limbs. "Kim, attack there!"
With the Youma's hands still around her neck, Kim pushed herself up on knees and tried to pull her tiara off, but her head felt like it was going to explode. An arrow shot passed her scratching the hand, causing them to disappear. Air filled Kim's lungs and she fell forward as she coughed, trying to breath. She fell into a firm chest and felt a hand rubbing her back, trying to help her calm down.
"Easy princess, you're ok." Through her watery eyes, Kim saw the familiar masked face of Arial Ace. She saw the Youma about to attack when Julie's Water Whip wrapped around its arms and pulled away from the two. "Not to rush you, but I'm not sure how much longer your friends will be able to keep it busy."
Finally able to catch her breath, Kim took a few large breaths before properly standing up and pulling off her tiara.
"Moon Twilight Slash!" the tiara aimed right for the left ankle while Julie kept the Youma busy. The Youma screamed as it was turned into dust and Jasmine's energy was returned.
Jasmine woke up and looked around the waiting room before seeing Cade passed out against a wall.
"Cade! Cade, are you ok?" Cade started to wake up when another voice said, "Looks like you're ok." The two teen turned to see Sailor Moon standing in the window, "I'm glad you guys are ok. The bad guy's been taken care of. You guys stay friends ok? Happy Halloween." She jumped away, but once out of eye view, fell into her friends' arms, still feeling slightly lightheaded.
"You didn't have to go immediately to your brother you know." Julie said
"I had to make sure he was ok. Now come on, he's going to be expecting me to be there soon."
"Jas, I wanted to apologize about what I did to your doll. I tried making you a present but I guess that monster destroyed it.
"It's ok. I forgive you. I mean, if you weren't really sorry, you wouldn't have come to save me." She said, quickly giving Cade a kiss on the check, leaving the poor boy red and flustered, "thank you."
Crawford Residence
Wearing a green tunic like dress with a lighter coloured skin tight shirt under it, brown legging tucked into darker coloured boots with bracers and fake daggers and bow and arrow attached to her person, Kim pulled her carefully braided hair into the Mirkwood Elf fashion.
"A Mirk-what now?" Luna asked as she sat on Kim's low table
"Mirkwood, from the series of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings? I'm supposed to be a female Legolas but if people recognise me from the certain forest, I'll be happy."
"Did they have high neck clothing though?" Luna asked, causing Kim to touch her neck, where a bruise from the Youma had formed.
"Not exactly, but couldn't tell my parents about my bruise now could I? Alright, all done. Come on Luna, while I don't believe in the superstation of black cats, there still a Halloween novelty. Plus who knows what black cat hunters are out there."
Kim walked down the stairs as her brother was heading up, "Cade, I thought you were spending most of the night with Jasmine."
"I am, but look was she made me." It was a figurine sized Sailor Moon. "I'm dropping it off in my room before we go."
"Wow, it's really good. Tell her I said so."
"I will, enjoy the party."
The rest of the Guardians were in the living room. Julie was dress as the girl from the Black Swan in her final costume, stab wound included, Jade as a pink preppy girl and Mika as a belly dancer.
"Hey guys!"
"Kim, hey. I'm so sorry, I couldn't help today." Mika immediately apologized
"It's ok, didn't think your uncle was going to be swamped at work."
"Neither did he. Anyway, are you ok?"
"I'm fine. I'm trying not to think about that. I just want to enjoy tonight."
Kim parents invited more people in and soon the living room was filled with teen girls and few boys, talking and dancing, Kim and her friends in the middle of it. The girls enjoyed the night, celebrating both Halloween and beating the enemy once again.
Happy New Year everyone. I'm sorry this took so long, I rewrote the chapter and then with finals weeks and finally being back home, I procrastinated like crazy. But here it is, on January 1, 2016, my first update of the year. Please review and I hope you guys enjoy the New Year!
