Blueeeyeddeil06, thank you for being my beta!

Rick had Molly naked on her back in his bed, and he was hovering over her. "So, you're really happy lately. Any particular reason?" He prodded.

"Lita. She has Nephrite, and he's incredibly sweet to her."

Rick's smile soured. "Oh…I was hoping it had to do with me," he trailed off and flopped onto his back, staring up at the ceiling.

Molly knew he couldn't see her roll her eyes, so she didn't feel the need to resist. She then rolled on her side and looked at him. "Really, you're jealous of that?"

He shrugged, "I guess it's silly."

Molly sat up and smiled as his eyes raked over her body and dilated with lust. "You know I love you, and I'm happy. I'm just extra happy that my friends are all with men they do or will love. Can you blame me for wanting my friends to be as happy as I am?" She caressed his muscled chest. "Don't forget I was worried about Lita."

"Well, when you put it that way…"

She let him see her roll her eyes this time. "You know how I feel about you."

He let out a long sigh, "I never had this much to lose before, Molly. I can't lose you."

"Well, you'd get chewed out by your mother if you did. She adores me. You should've heard her when I met her for lunch."

He groaned, "Dinner with my parents was embarrassing enough. I don't want to guess what she said to you."

"There were some rather cute baby pictures. You still have the same little birthmark on your backside. I refrained from mentioning to her that you still have that."

"She didn't! Crap! I told her no pictures," he blushed scarlet.

"Don't worry. They were cute."

"Kill me now," he said in a defeated tone.

She shook her head and smirked at him. "There were other things I wanted to do right now." She gave him a heated look.

"Do we need a safe word?"

"How about Milkshake?"

Rick grew pale and shook his head. "I'm going to kill those guys!" He then got out of bed and walked to his dresser.

"Now?"

"Well, you just made me think of my sister having sex. The mood's kinda destroyed."

She laughed from the bed and flopped on her back. "We could play naughty-school-girl. You can be my very strict teacher. I was late for school again, and I got detention. What am I going to have to do to make it up to you?" She flicked her eyes to his and caressed her breasts.

He groaned and stalked towards her. "I have so many ideas of what I can do to punish you. I think we'll start with spankings."

She smiled up at him. "Oh, but is that really a punishment if I enjoy them so much?"

"Then what do you suggest?"

"Oh, I say start with the spankings. I have been naughty after all. But, I think you should have me suck your cock to make up for wasting your time."

He picked her up and bent her over his knee. "Molly, you're so damn perfect."

Jadeite walked into the arcade with Rick. After Rick protected Raye, he figured the least he could do was to buy his friend lunch.

He stopped short when Raye was sitting at one of the tables with Serena and obviously trying to tell the guy hanging next to them to get lost.

Jadeite looked at Rick and mumbled, "Want to see a magic trick? I can make a pencil disappear."

Rick just laughed and shook his head, "I told you that you'd like The Dark Knight Heath Ledger was the perfect joker."

"Want to help me get rid of this joker?"

"Naw, I have a feeling Raye can take care of herself."

Just then, the guy who'd been trying to flirt with Raye stumbled backward and bumped into the table behind him. Then there was a shout of, "I warned you to back off. That's your last hint before I get violent!" The guy nodded quickly and scrambled away, running out past Jadeite and Rick and exiting the arcade.

Just as he made it out, Serena couldn't hold it back anymore, and she burst out laughing. "He really asked if you believed in following your dreams!" She wiped a tear away from her eyes when she added, "I can't believe he said he'd follow you anywhere. How lame!"

Rick lightly elbowed Jadeite and said, "Told you she could take care of herself."

Beryl climbed out of Elis' bed and got dressed in the dark. It was one of many advantages of having the darkness in her. She could see perfectly without any light.

She then let a bit of dark energy stretch out from her hand and invaded the man sleeping there. It was a bit of a nuisance having to wake him slowly, but bit by bit. She knew he'd resist if she attempted to bring him back to himself faster.

He was a stubborn son of a bitch, and although this was tediously slow at times, in the end, it would yield faster results. She looked forward to when he was entirely himself once again.

Honestly, if it weren't for Endymion's gorgeous face and body, she would have been content with him. Her lust was stirred when she looked at the son, though. Too bad one had all the looks, and the other had all the darkness.

Little did Elis know that when he fucked her, she pictured his son every time. She smiled and walked out of the room now that he had a bit more of the darkness in him.

All she needed was time, and everything would be hers, all the power, the solar system, the reincarnation of Endymion, wherever he is. She vowed to find him and make him hers by any means necessary.

She walked down the hallway and disappeared to D Point, smiling.

"Luna, can we talk?" Serena asked, sitting on the couch and placing her manga down on the coffee table.

"I was wondering when you were going to mention what's been bothering you." She looked at Serena thoughtfully and added, "Be warned. If I think Darien needs to know, I'll tell him."

"I've realized you have no problem telling on me," Serena teased. "I'm asking you as my advisor. I'm not hiding this from him. Go ahead and tell him."

Luna laid down on the couch next to her and looked up at her, "Okay, so what is it then?"

"What is the difference between Takashi and Elis?"

"What?" Luna asked, not understanding.

"They are different. Everyone sees that, right?" She took a breath and continued. "Yeah, her father is an absolute jerk and only cares about himself. That's so true. But he's not a killer. He will turn into Elis and use youma to drain people's energy and possibly kill them. They're not the same."

"But they are!" Luna objected. She then cocked her head and looked at Serena in concern. "Wait… are they? Why does Beryl need to 'wake him up' if he's as evil as Elis is?"

"That's exactly what I mean. Why does she need to do anything to get him on her side other than offer him power? Elis didn't need the dark energy in the past, or else Endymion would have inherited the Golden Crystal sooner."

Luna's tail flicked as she thought about that. "So what does that mean?"

"That's why I'm coming to you. In a way, isn't he the jerk version of the generals?"

"I heard about how he treated Raye and his dying wife."

"But can I kill him over that? Sorry, but as horrible as he was, does that call for death?"

Luna shook her head, "Jadeite won't be happy about what you're thinking."

"You really think he wants to murder his father-in-law? That's what he'll be."

"Yes. In the heat of the moment. But I get what you're thinking. How does he explain to his children one day that he killed their grandfather? Although, I can't imagine them letting him have any contact with their kids."

"No, I agree on that. What do you advise?"

"I advise that you talk to Darien."

Serena scoffed, "He wants me protected and would have him killed just to make me safe."

"He does want you protected, and he wants you to be able to live with what you've all done. He would protect you from living in guilt and regret."

"He's not going to be happy about what I'm thinking."

"No, but your relationship is strong enough that this won't be a problem. Just a disagreement."

Serena nodded and plucked up Luna and cuddled her. "You're a great advisor, and you're super soft," she said while she stroked her fur, eliciting a purr from Luna.
