Usagi was on air. Looking back down she could the city of Nerima. Looking straight
ahead she saw the familiar figure of a boy with a pigtail and a smirk. She reached out to him,
and with amazing ease, flew through the air to him. He caught her in his arms and she
marveled at how right the embrace felt. Looking up into his eyes, she gasped as they came
closer. Her gasp was cut off as he pulled her into a romantic kiss.

"Usagi..time to wake up.." Luna yawned and crawled over from the edge of the bed
to see Usagi, asleep, and kissing her pillow feircly. Luna just stared for a few minutes
at the sight. "Uh..Usagi.."
"mmmm.." Usagi was absorbed in her dream. Usagi pulled the pillow closer. Finally Luna snapped.
"USAGI! What are you _doing_ to your pillow!???" Luna screamed. That was enough
to wake her up. Usagi gasped at the strange taste in her mouth, looking down she could
see some of the pillow in her mouth. "Blech!" Usagi spit it out and brushed her tounge off.
"Ewww!" she said aloud. Luna sighed,"Usagi, it's time to get ready for school."
Usagi nodded, blushing brightly. She crawled out of bed trying to ignore Luna's
amused grin.
______________________________________________________________________
Usagi yawned in her furikan high uniform, and tried not to make eye contact with Ranma
knowing she would immediatly blush. Stupid dream..but...hee.. Usagi thought.
She bent down and opened the mail box to see a envelope adressed to Sailormoon.
Usagi gasped, and pulled it open. Ranma looked at it over her shoulder.
"Dear Sailormoon,
This is an offer, but I can't tell you what it is but you will
find out soon. Meet me at the roof top of Nerima Mall at 4:30 today.
Love,
.N"
Usagi blinked who could the initial "N" stand for? But more importantly he put the word
"love" in the letter. Usagi felt the sudden urge to turn around and saw Ranma's face twist into
a frown as he also read the letter. Usagi grinned, it was funny when Ranma was jealous. He was so cute.
Wait, why would I think this? Usagi thought, feeling a heat on her face.
"I bet that it's one of those bakas from the Drak Kingdom place or whatever." Ranma said as if
he didn't care. Usagi linked her arm around his and put her wait from him. "Oh? And what if it
is some handsome dream man that will whisk me away." Usagi heard Ranma say something
under his breath,"We'll see about that.." he said softly. He really cared for her? Usagi
felt her heart beating faster.

"Hey, Usagi-chan!" a familiar red head ran to catch up with Usagi, while serious Karou
just walked at her own pace. "Guess, what I got!" Naru shouted gleefully.
Before Usagi could guess Naru held up a little envelope, just like the one Usagi had gotten
this morning. Karou quietly held up one as well. Usagi gasped and looking around could see all
the girl's holding similiar envelopes. Then it dawned on her. Ranma was right..this
must be some Dark Kingdom trap! Usagi thought, she had to find a way to stop it.
__________________________________________________________________
"Did you see all the love notes the girls got? Whoever wrote them must be really h-"
Ranma held his hand up to singal Daisuke not to finish his sentence.
Usually whatever he had to say turned out really stupid or really perverted.
Ranma noticed a blonde odango in the crowd. Finally Usagi pushed out like
a beam of sunshine and ran towards Ranma. She grabbed his arm with surprising strength.
"Ranma, we need to talk. ALONE." Usagi said in a grave tone. Ranma growled
when he heard a low whistle from Daisuke. Sometimes he wondered if that
guy was all talk and no brains. Of course there was no need to wonder, considering
it was true. Usagi pulled him into the empty hallway, since all the students were at lunch.
It was odd to see Usagi shrugging off lunch, since she would usually leap over people's
heads to get to her lunch, and it was comepletely serious. "Ranma, you were right.
The Dark Kingdom is at work here!" Usagi said, and then she added,"Besides, they
should have realised that I'm Sailormoon! With my extreme beauty and talent!" she stated.
Ranma rolled his eyes. Usagi saw that,"Hey, what do you mean I'm not beautiful and
talented!?" Usagi asked furiously. "I didn't say that.." Ranma trailed off, leaving
Usagi to wonder if he was just trying not to get hit or was trying to say he liked her.
She decided to let the matter slide.

Nephrite smiled as he watched the almost endless line of girls file into
the mall. One of them had to be Sailormoon, and not only would he capture
her, but he'd make a good haul off everyone of those girl's energy. Snapping
his fingures he turned into his human form, wearing sunglassess and gray
slacks. With another snap of his fingers a portal appeared in front
of him, stepping through it, he materialized to the rooftop. Smiling he
sat down in one of the chairs and examined Nerima from this height.
"Hmm..this small town, bustling with energy.." he muttered, turning
around he heard footsteps on the staircase that lead up to the roof.
A girl with short red hair came out smiling,"Excuse me, are you the one
who gave me this letter?" she asked otu of breath. Nephrite
smiled and stood up, walking towards the girl he put his hand
on her shoulder and she flushed. "Why yes, yes I am." he said,
pushing her slightly, making her lean against the wall,"What's going on!?"
she demanded fear in her eyes. Nephrite just smiled,"I know it's you Sailormoon."
________________________________________________________________________________
Usagi looked around the mall,"I'd be enjoying this If I didn't have the
feeling someone's going to be killed." she said. Ranma snorted,"It's the mall! Why
would someone walk around here all day just to look at the things?" he said with
an annoyed look. Usagi stuck out her tounge bitterly,"You're not a girl Ranma,
that's why. I should take you mall walking one day, you might like it."
Ranma rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything. Usagi took it as
a confirmation,"It's a date then." she chirped. Ranma gulped,"Date?"
Usagi grinned at the stupid look he had on his face. "Yeah, is there
a problem with that?" she asked, before Ranma could reply they both
felt something. "Oh, we forgot!" Usagi said and grabbed her fiancee's
hand, leading him to the elevator. Once inside, Usagi pulled out a bottle
of cold spring water. "And to think I payed 500 yen for this." she muttered
and squeezed the bottle over her head, causing her to become the champion
of justice in a flash of hot pink light. They waited patiently as
the elevator reached the top. The metal doors open with a swish to revel
a frightening scene.
***
"Naru!" Usagi shouted, and glowered at the man who held her slowly sucking
the life from her body. "Hey, you bozo! I'm Sailormoon, you'd atleast
have the right mind to drain MY energy!" she protested. Ranma stared
at her with shock and confusion. "Err..did I say that?" Usagi asked.
Ranma sighed, and Nephrite looked up. The pretty red head he held in
his hands wasn't Sailormoon? Well atleast he got a good amount of
energy from the hyperactive girl. He dropped her to the ground with
a thud. Usagi got P.Oed,"What the heck do you think you're doing! That's
my friend your messing with you girly-haired jerk!" she shouted.
Nephrite sneered, no one insulted or questioned his manhood.
"Sailormoon, prepare yourself." he muttered. Rasing his hands towards
the heavens he grinned at her. "Power of the stars, unleash the mighty
constellation! Leo!" Usagi's jaw hit the ground when an neon like
lion materialized onto the ground in a sparkle of light. Ranma's
jaw also hit the ground as the creature locked his gaze on them.
Usagi's fear factor kicked up,"GET INSIDE!GET INSIDE!GET INSIDE!"
she screamed and grabbed Ranma's hand and opened the elevator door.
They both jumped in and saw the lion running after them. Usagi
got on her knees and prayed, looking up the elevator doors were
moving at a snails paise. Usagi started praying louder,"Usagi!"
Ranma said,"Help me out here!" he said. Ranma grabbed one metal
door and Usagi grabbed the other one, pulling them the door slammed
shut just as the lion leaped.
[THUD]
Usagi jumped back as she say the imprint of the lion's
face on the metal doors, which were now sticking inward from
the impact. "Oww." Ranma said, feeling a little sympathetic
for the creature. "That must be worse than a migrane." he mumbled.
Usagi pressed the button to go down, but it didn't work. "Huh?"
Nephrite voice came through the intercom,"Welcome to the elevator of hell. Fasten you seatbelts
as you will never have the chance to do so again." he said softly.
Usagi looked at Ranma,"That's a bad thing isn't it." He didn't
have to answer her question as the elevator came downwards with an unearthly
speed. It was enough to make Usagi and Ranma both hit the ceiling
of the elevator. "We're gonna die!" Usagi shouted. Ranma kicked
open the trap door at the top of the ceiling. "Come on." he said
and leaped up, then helped Usagi up. Usagi sighed softly
as she saw the sparks of electricty and speed flying off the cord
of the elevator. "What do we do." Ranma saw a nearby door.
"Jump." he muttered. "ARE YOU INSANE?" she said, but before
she could answer Ranma wrapped his arm around her wait
and leapt of the elevator.
____________________________________________________________________
Ranma grabbed the edge of the door, just in the nick of time.
Usagi marveled at his strength, being able to hold them both up,
with one hand. Usagi reached up and put her right hand on, holding
herself up somewhat, and revlieving Ranma of her extra weight.
"Ranma.." she sai softly, and felt his other arm still around
her waist just incase she happended to fall. Always protecting me..
she thought, and cringed when she heard the loud thud of the elevator
hitting the bottom. Usagi sighed and looked at the elevator
door. They were just hanging there, after a few minutes Usagi leaned
her head on Ranma's shoulder. "Ranma, I have something I need to tell you.."
she said. Ranma nodded,"I know..I have something I need to tell you to.."
he replied. "Ranma, I-" The door opened and two teenagers looked in shock
at the people dangling from the door. Shrugging they helped them up.
"Dude, it's Sailormoon." One said. "Awesome, like totally." Usagi
grinned at the atention, but then remembered. "Uh, gotta go dudes!"
she said and ran up the stairs to catch up to Nephrite.
***
Nephrite grinned, Sailormoon was now dead. He also looked at the floor
where many girl's drained of their energy lay. But he couldn't seem to help
thinking about the red headed one.Then a disgustingly familiar voice
rang into his ears. "I'm Sailor Moon! And I'm really P.Oed at you, you
jerk!" she shouted. Nephrite looked up to see Usagi jumped down and land
a kick on his chest, he moved back slowly. "Pest!" he muttered.
"Leo!" he called, and the beast appeared behind Usagi.
Ranma lept onto the lion's back. "Hey, this isn't so bad."
he said with a smirk as the lion struggled to get him off.
"Moon Tiara Action!" Usagi shouted as soon as the creature was fully
distracted, Ranma lept off right when the tiara made contact with
the animal's head. As soon as the creature was gone, Usagi turned
around to face Nephrite. To see he was nowhere to be found.
___________________________________________________________________
After all the girl's had managed to get up and walk away in a confused
daze Usagi turned to Ranma,"Hey, thanks." she said and grinned.
"By the way, what did you have to tell me in the elevator?" Ranma
inquired. Usagi blushed,"Oh, nothing. Hey Ranma, it's about time for that
date, isn't it?" she said. Suddenly Ranma remembered and watched
Usagi lock her arm around his. "First, let's go look at some
new clothes, and then we can check out some comics! This'll
be great!" she said gleefully. Ranma just groaned.
