"Hey, Kaori!" Sammy smashed into Serena's room startling the team of girls. "I have a question about that Nega Verse thing you were telling me about. " He'd shut the door. "Well, it's more an observation. Malachite has attacked you twice now when you're alone and don't have easy access to Serena, Raye and Amy right?"

"Yeah." Kaori nodded, the other girls were staring shocked, "why?"

"Well, last time there were two attacks. One on us and one at the tennis court where Serena was."

"So you're saying that we have two different attackers set on us at the moment?"

"Right."

"Yes, I was thinking that to." Kaori nodded, "It crossed my mind that Malachite was testing me both times. He seemed to be happy that I was stronger this time around. " She sipped her soda. " Yes, but it also crossed my mind that Malachite saw you with me both times so I was going to tell the girls about you knowing but you just blew the whole thing up."

"Oh, you didn't tell them that once I saw you transform that I knew they were scouts too"

"Nope. Not yet." Kaori replied,

"Wait!" Serena cried, "When did this happen?"

"When you went on the cruise. " Kaori replied,

"You went on a cruise?" Sammy asked,

"Later." Serena huffed,

"Sammy asked me out on a date then Darien gave him a hard time and the two of us left. " Kaori explained, "Then we heard screaming and I sensed evil. We went to check it out. Darien and Sammy saw me transform. Darrien hasn't put it together yet. Lucky, us."

They had a strategy that night and they all slept over of course Sammy gotten thrown out of the room after nine o clock.

Kaori took a deep breath and once again wondered how she got stuck playing Cinderella in this stupid recital and what was worse she couldn't wear black! She clutched her stomach as they stood waiting for the show to start. Why'd it have to be a morning show?

"Are you alright?" her normal instructor asked, "Karoi?"

"Ugh, I shouldn't have stayed Serena's last night." she moaned to herself but they all heard. "I think I ate too much junk food."

"Are you okay to go on?"

"I'll be fine." Kaori waved her off.

Act 1 began and she began her dance. She was grateful that the glare of the stage lights made it almost impossible to see the crowd or she didn't think she could of done this even though she knew that all the people she cared about were in the crowd cheering her on. Really that was the only thing that had gotten her out on this stage today. She'd been dancing ballet since she three years old. Inoue's old school, the one she currently was with, had taken her in and began teaching her. She'd been terrible at it at first but she'd worked hard and now here she was in her big debut . They had wanted her to preform before but she hadn't been able to do it. She knew that if she didn't start getting out on the stage soon she'd never get a chance with the school that they would most likely just drop her. So here she was dancing and trying not to be sick. She really shouldn't have gorged but she ate when she was scared or nervous. Not to mention Ikuko always made the best snacks.

"Kaori!" Sammy waved her over to the group. She had taken a shower and changed into another sleeveless black belly shirt with a high collar only this one had pink trim, black jeans and boots. "Uh...Here." he handed her a rose. "You did great."

"Thank you." she smiled, smelling the rose. She loved roses almost as much a Darien did.

They all started to tell how great she'd been on stage today.

Raye then dragged Darien off on a date.

"Will you go to the park with me?" Kaori asked Sammy, "It's not far from here. "

"Sure."

They were walking through the park looking at the flowers when they spotted Raye and Darien out on the lake in a boat.

"That looks fun." Sammy mumbled. Then blushed and rubbed the back of his neck. "I mean..."

"LOOK OUT!" she dived pushing him aside as vines tried to wrap around them. "RUN!"

The two took off running as Nature continued to attack them.

"I've had enough!" Kaori grabbed her pen she'd arrived where Moon, Mars and Mercury already were. She suddenly froze, the monster and both girls were looking at her. "Uh...Sammy?"

Sammy turned his back on her whistling.

"Earth Power!"

Her transformation complete Sammy tried to find a place to hide only to find he was stuck holding Luna and hitting at butterflys and birds that tried attacking them.

"You're messing with the wrong scout!" she yelled, "Earth! Lend my your strength!" she called, her right hand out , left supporting it. He hand began to spark with gold energy that's when she noted the Tuxedo Mask had Sammy and Luna. " Lend me your power to restore or planet to its rightful state! Earth Purification Power!"

Gold light exploded from her hand as Ken arrived on scene with news crews not far behind. Earth ground her teeth.

"Moon Tiara Magic!"

Earth focused on cleansing the park of all evil though she noted the monster had turned to moon dust. She finally stopped.

"Wow, " Mercury said, amazed, "Why can't we have that kind of power?"

"I wish you did." Earth moaned, "Lets beat a retreat. "

They retreated and became themselves again. Sammy soon joining them when they came back to the scene of battle Ken was saying how he was going to save the park and how they must save nature. Still camera shy but wanting to agree and let her views be known Kaori joined her father on camera this was after all her Planet to protect.

After everything settled down Darien caught up with them and invited them all out for milkshakes to which he got two very happy cheers .
