Rei looked at Serena with a frown on her face. She turned away and looked at Lita. They were sitting on the floor of the secret room, trying to figure what to do with Serena and her unwanted haircut.

"Lita, this is not going well we need a solution and fast. I cant believe that…"

"Rei, watch your tongue." Mina walked over. " And I think I may have solution."

"What?" Lita looked over to Serena and back again. "It better be good. She is not in the shape to try something that wont work."

"The Luna Pen."

"Luna…oh." Lita's eyes brightened. " That would work."

"As a stepping stone," Mina added. "Amy will work on a concoction that will actually have her real hair grow back at a quick fast rate."

Rei nodded. "That is a good idea. I like it."

They walked over the Serena who was holding her head in her hands while leaning on Amy.

"Serena." Mina spoke softly as she crouched down. "We have a solution for your hair. Use your Luna Pen to transform your hair."

Serena sniffed and raised her head. Her eyes were bright red from crying. "But that will only work for so long and I don't want to have to keep using it until my hair grows back. It will take years. Look at it!" She pulled on her hair that fell only onto her shoulder.

"That is why I will work on something that will adhere to your hair and make it grow fast to the length you had it. The Luna Pen will give you the hair you need until I can work it out." Amy spoke up already knowing what Mina would have had in mind.

Mina nodded her head. "Serena, you will get your long hair back. I promise."

Serena nodded and wiped away a few stranded tears. "Alright." She pulled out the Luna Pen and used it to transform her hair back to the same length.

Rei pulled out a mirror. "There it is long again."

Serena smiled slightly as she looked at herself before she straightened up. "Alright, enough of that now, we must talk about what Amy and Lita have for us and how could Beryl enter the special thingy that the glasses do."

"Amy, Lita, we should start with what you have." Mina sat down and the others followed. "Since what Beryl did is so stumping that it will take a while for us to figure out."

Lita and Amy nodded and glanced at each other. Amy made a slight nod so Lita started. "As you know, three days ago the royal family, well just the King, Queen and Dairen came for tea. The king was acted weird, as well as my mother and the Queen didn't know that my father was killed. She was told he died of a heart attack."

Amy jumped in. "As you well know, a royal murder is a big deal. All the royal families are told of the whole thing and it is documented in a special way. I looked up to see if it was for your father, but it wasn't."

Rei's eyes went huge. "So you are saying Lita's mother covered up the murder."

Lita nodded as her eyes went dim. "it is hard to believe that my mother could be part of this thing with Beryl, but I see no way to doubt that it is true. Besides, they were practically flirting with each other, even though the Queen was there."

"If only you could remember what happened that night." Mina muttered under her breath. She looked at Amy. "So you felt the evil presence?"

Amy nodded. "I would feel better if next time they come for tea, it is arranged that Rei goes, she can feel evil better than any of us."

"I have decided also, to play along with acting like I like the idea of marrying Darien, maybe I can act like a royal brat to make him start to dislike the idea. I think that it will also play in our favor with the King and finding out more."

"Good."

They all turned to look at Serena.

"I like that idea, I know it will be hard for me, but if that's what it takes, then thank you." She grinned. "It will have him running from Lita for the rest of his life."

Lita smiled as she decided to pass the remark that came into her head. "Also, I met the royal guards of Dairen. His best friends are the royal guards, plus this man named Kyle."

"He also had a evil air to him, but it was different. He seemed to be researching the castle for some reason, maybe to know its layout for an invasion. But he seemed different." Amy was silent for a moment. "It is hard to describe it, it was like he was evil but was beginning to feel differently about it."

"We will have to be on guard around him." Lita was silent and watched the girls take in the news.

Finally Rei spoke. "It seems that our list of allies grows smaller everyday and who knows who we can trust other than ourselves."

"So it is." Mina's eyes were dark.

Kyle moved quickly as he traveled to the throne room. She was back earlier than usual from wherever she went. Usually it took her about two weeks to work up coming back to the living in the transparent form she can only take. But this time it was only a week. She must be in a good mood. She was sitting in the throne room alone when he entered.

"Beryl." He spoke her name as she looked at him with the same green eyes that he had.

"Your late." She spoke with a dull emotion. "I have found the perfect body that will sustain me."

"Really?" he raised an eyebrow. "That is good news, we can finally get rid of that stupid King and his lover."

She laughed. "You always were eager to kill someone. You can, that stupid man that was here last time made another mistake. Take care of him however you like. Anyway, the perfect body was right under our noses. Its that girl."

He was silent for a moment.

"Surprising, isn't it." She narrowed her eyes as she took in his reaction. "Arther is working on what we must do to prepare her for the ritual. Make sure you take good care of her body; I want it to be in perfect condition when I am ready to take over. Have your way with her all you want until it is time."

He finally found his voice. "I am part of the royal guard. Soon we shall have all the information for invasions on all the planets."

"Good. Good. I am fading again. Go, take care of that insect of a thing." She soon faded from his view.

His eyes took on a red tint as he pulled out a sword. He licked his lips and transported himself to the mans house. This was going to be fun.

Marissa winced as another pain spasm racked her body. The elbow was broken from him pushing her to the ground and her whole body landing on it in an award position. Her left eye was swollen shut and the cut on her leg was so bad she could barely move her leg without it hurting. The bruises all over her body didn't help and he had let her go without food or water for nearly three days now. She heard the door to the room open up and could tell by the sound of his boots that he was traveling to the bath room. She was surprised when he made his way over to her after he was done.

"So, it seems I am to take good care of your body." He laughed and shivers went down her spine.

"Why?" She wasn't afraid of him anymore. She wasn't afraid of dying or the pain. There was nothing meaningful in her life.

He roughly pulled her face up from hiding in the pillow to looking at him.

"Well, it seems you are the perfect body, so I cant kill you yet." His eyes were…different as he looked at her. Like he could identify with her, her father had treated her poorly and his mother had treated him poorly. "So, are you hungry or thirsty?"

She nodded. "How did he die?"

His eyes widen for a moment with surprise before he covered it and went back to showing no emotion.

"Do you really want to know?" He pulled away from her.

"Yes."

"Why?" He walked over to the window.

"Because…"She was silent for a moment. "You seem to not have enjoyed this one as much. Usually when you come back from ending someones life you have this air about you, but you don't have it as strongly as you do now."

He was silent for sometime. She had been studying him? "That is because he only suffered for about an hour. It was rather disappointing. I like to make them suffer and stew for hours." He turned around. "I turned the dogs on him. I order them to take their time. The guy was almost dead anyway."

She was looking at him with a strange expression. "You like to watch something like that?"

His eyes gleamed.

"I don't think you do. I think you pretend that you do." She turned her face into her pillow.

He strode over to her and pulled her face up again. "Why is that?"

"Because I don't want to think that someone could be so horrible when they could also be so kind."

His eyes widen slightly.

"How is it that you can treat me like a person and then go on and treat me like dirt."

"Why do you care? I have to make sure that you are in good condition for Beryl and for me when I want you. Other than that I can treat you how I like." He stood up and went over to the window.

"Why…do I have these feelings toward you?" Marissa whispered as she felt the tears coming down her face. She buried her face in the pillow.

He abruptly walked to the door and left. Leaving her alone to cry all she wanted.

Rei looked at her watch. All of them had been silent for the past half a hour trying to think of how Beryl could have found her way into the device.

"I have to leave and we all should anyway." Her voice brought them out of their thoughts. Amy and Serena both jumped slightly. "In two days, we should meet here again to train some more." She stood up and dusted her dress. With a wave she was gone.

They all stood up.

"Shes right." Lita spoke up. "Mother will worry about me and I cant have that." She too walked left.

"Serena, I am coming back with you to the moon to begin working on your hair extension. The moon has the best selections of chemicals."

Serena nodded to Amy. She walked over to Mina and gave her a hug. "Thanks for everything."

Mina watched the two of the leave. She walked over to the light switch and turned everything off before she too, left the room to go do the things that were needed to get done.

Ohh..Things are getting intersting. Sorry for the confusion- if you had any. Marissa and Kyle are not related. it was an opps on my part. I forgot the Y on yours so it looked like our. The next chapter begins the romace for our five girls. Poor Lita is going to find herself in a hard place...
