Chapter 11: Lovers and Fans

"You guys I don't know if I can handle all of these people." Rei said angry, pushing the doors closed to the temple, walking into the room where the she told her fortunes with fire.

The rest of them crowded in the room sitting on the floor. "We should have expected this." Amara said.

"It's not that bad." Mina said smiling. The other girls new she adored all of this attention.

"Actually it's all of these girls. My grandpa loves it." Rei said after bolting the door.

"Why are they're so many girls I wonder?" Leta asked, secretly hoping for more boy-fans.

"I'd say that would be Darien's fault." Michelle teased giggling.

He put his hand behind his head, with a guilty look. "Sorry guys, I didn't know Tuxedo Mask had such a fan base."

"We'll its not all bad. At least my grandpa can keep them busy while we have our meeting. But I think we need some body guards or something." Rei said, trying to shift the blame off of him.

"Rei is right. It would be a lot easier if we did have a better place to meet." Ami agreed.

"It will be much easier when we have the Tokyo Palace to reside in." Luna said suddenly, leaping onto wooden chair in the corner.

"We still have to make sure that the rest of the world supports us. We're talking about a new government here that turns back a few centuries. You and Serena will have a lot of work when it comes down to it." Artemis joins in.

"its okay, once I use my silver crystal they won't be able to refuse!" Serena said cheerfully.

"Actually Serena, it won't be that easy. You'll need to take a democratic stance so the world can agree to stay on our side." Ami said.

"A demo-what?" Serena said.

"She's right. What she means Serena is that we have to let the rest of the world and their people choose to follow us, and we intern must listen to what they have to say." Darien explained.

"Oh." She said.

"Which is the mistake that the moon kingdom made in the past, that we can't afford to make again." He continued. The scouts new he meant the formation of another dark moon, or opposing force.

"You're right." Serena said as if she had suddenly understood everything that had gone on. "I spoke to my mother, she told me not to make the same mistake. I didn't save them all for nothing."

"Speaking of that, where are the Shitennou?" Mina asked.

"Probably out there somewhere." Rei said sarcastically motioning towards the noise coming from the outer door.

"And if they are, they probably can't get in here anyway." Mina said, looking slightly disappointed.

"Not with that crowd." Amara added.

"Speaking of that, where is Greg off to Ami?" Leta asked innocently.

"I'm not sure exactly. I didn't even know he was back in the city." She admitted, squeezing her knees closer to her chest.

"Yea that was really nice how he supported us yesterday." Rei said.

"Hey what about Chad, Rei?" Mina gave her a sly look.

"Nothing really…" Rei started. "He knows that I'm Sailor Mars now, but I told him that I was meant to be with Jadeite."

"And how did he take it?" Serena asked surprised.

"As good as he could I guess. He was disappointed I think, but I told him that we could still be friends. I mean Chad's a nice guy, but he was never really what I wanted."

"But a guy that almost creamed us with jet-planes is?" Serena asked.

"Hey Serena, you know that feeling you had when you were with Darien, like you knew each other from the past or something?" Leta said leaning back.

"Yea, I guess." She said remembering back to when she first learned that she was the moon princess and her and Darien where meant to be.

"That's what we feel with the shitennou. You know I felt really bad at first when I learnt that I was supposed to be with Nephrite after Molly and all that, but when I saw him, it was like every memory kept rushing back. He wasn't just like an old boyfriend, you know?" Leta said.

"Yea Serena, you should know how we feel. Hell Malachite almost creamed us into bits with that dome before, Jadeites not the only one." Rei defended.

"Hey, don't be dissing Malachite!" Mina said. "Yea and you guys would have been creamed if it wasn't for Sailor V!" She said proudly.

"It's nice to see you girls happy and in love!" Michelle said happily, looking up to Amara.

"We also have something to say." Amara said.

They all perked up looking at the cousins.

"We're not actually cousins." Amara said

"What then what are you?" Mina asked wide eyed.

"We're actually more like a couple. I hope you guys don't mind that we never told you." Michelle said smiling.

"A couple?" Leta repeated.

"Yea, I know that it seems weird. We just didn't want to tell you guys before we could really trust you." Amara admitted.

"Well that's good for you two." Rei said smiling sitting down.

"I hope this doesn't change the way you look at us." Michelle said kindly.

"Not at all!" Serena said happily. "I guess that explains why Mina and I thought you were…"

"A guy?" Amara said recalling when she first met them at the arcade. "haha, yea I got that a lot. Don't worry about it meat-ball head."

"Awh not you too?" Serena said referring to the name.

The scouts laughed. "Now scouts beware that until the Crystal Tokyo is up and running, we're going to have to be careful out in the open. People will be watching our every move."Artemis warned.

"Yea, I can't look at a Television without us all over it." Mina admitted recalling shutting off the TV. in her house that morning.

"Mina, are you actually sick of the publicity?" Ami asked.

"Noooo… I didn't say that." Mina said looking away.

"But Artemis is right, like when are you and Darien going to get married?" Rei said suddenly.

"Me? Us? I don't know." Serena said taken back, excitedly, looking over to Darien.

"It will happen Rei; let's not rush the couple too much." Luna said giving Darien a look that even made him think the cat had been insinuating the opposite. "However, I think that for now, it might be best to travel as sailor scouts."

"Luna's right. Then we'll have a good up on them if they get in our way." Amara said, slightly threateningly.

"Amara!" Michelle scolded, smiling.

"She's got a point. " Darien said.

"Yea except I don't know if that will keep the girls away from you." Leta said smiling.

"Yea but I know what will…" Rei said.

"What?" Darien asked.

"Sailor Obsessive over there. " Rei teased looking at the fuming blonde.

"Hey!" Serena said crossing her arms as they all laughed.
