Identities Revealed
"Yes, is Willow there? This is Mr. Giles," Giles said into the phone. "Hi, Willow. How are things going on the Hellmouth?"
"Fine. Is everything okay out there? Did you find the next Slayer?" Willow asked. "Oh, good. Xander just arrived."
"Good. Now, I want to ask both of you a question. Have you ever heard of a person named Sailor Moon?"
"Xander, he wants to know if we know anything about someone named Sailor Moon." Willow said to Xander. "Xander says yes, but the person is just a cartoon. He says he has all the information about her."
"Well, it seems like this person is real. I need you to get yourselves, Cordelia, and Oz on a plane out here by Tuesday." Giles told Willow.
Next, Giles called Angel. He knew Angel waould be at home because Angel normally didn't leave the house when Buffy wasn't in Sunnydale. Angel picked up after the second ring.
"Hello?" Angel asked tentatively.
"Hello, Angel. How are our friends? Are they still at Buffy's house?" Giles asked Angel.
"Yes and they're getting along well with her mother, too."
"That's good. Um, Angel, we may have a little trouble here in Tokyo and might need some help. Get the four people in the group on a plane and get out here. Do you think your newly acquired tolerance is working? Because you may have to go to school with Buffy, just don't tell any of the others. They don't know they're going back to school."
"Yeah, I'll be fine."
"Good. See you later." The phone clicks off.
Giles knew he'd have to enroll the others into school. But he'd wait until Monday. The others would stay in the same place as Buffy.

"Wow, those were good shows. And Buffy looks the same in the show as she does in real life." Lita said.
"I liked the books the most. Especially the information books. They were great." Amy said.
"Well, we can't say anything. Look how hard she worked to keep it a secret in America," Darien said.
Serena finally spoke her thoughts as she put down a book. "But why is she in Tokyo? If its so bad over in Sunnydale, why is she here?"
"That's what I'm wondering, too." Sunshine said.
"Well, we'll find out soon."
***
Tuesday came and Buffy asked Serena if she would go to the airport with her and Serena said okay as long as she could bring Sunshine with her. Buffy said sure and wondered what would happen at the airport.
***
"Giles said Buffy was bringing the new Slayer with her. I wonder what she looks and acts like." Willow says, getting a picture in her head. "Hey, there's Buffy. Those girls with her look nice and pretty."
'Oh, no. Please let her be someone else.' Xander thought. 'That girl looks a lot like Serena to me. Oh, please don't be Serena.' "Hey, Buffy. Over here."
"Hey, guys. I see Giles told you to bring Keller and her gang. Keller, you made sure to call in reinforcements, right?"
"Yes, Buffy. Rashel and Quinn were there before we left."
Serena heard Sunshine gulp low in her throat and could see her visibly begin to shake.
"Good. Now, I would like you to meet Serena Tsukino and Sunshine." Buffy saw the look in Xander's eyes and knew that he knew something. "Serena, this is Willow Rosenberg, Winnie Arlin, Oz, Raksha Keller, just call her Keller, Galen Drache, Nissa Johnson, Angel, Xander Harris, and Cordelia Chase."
Serena glanced at Sunshine when she cursed under her breath. 'Oh, no. More trouble,' Serena thought.
"Hi, it's nice to meet all of you. Welcome to Tokyo," Serena said. 'There's something about those four. I don't know what it is, but its strange.'
'This girl. I feel they are both powerful, but Serena is even more powerful and very important like Aradia. Can you feel it, Galen?' Keller asked her soulmate through thought communication.
'Yeah, I can,' Galen thought to her.
"Buffy, may I talk to you for a second?" Xander asked.
"No, Xander. Tell Giles and the rest of us later. Can we go now, Serena?"
"Yes, as soon as they pick up their luggage." Serena said.
***
"Okay, Xander. What did you want to tell Buffy earlier?" Giles asked Xander.
"Oh, I just wanted to tell her that Serena was Sailor Moon, the Moon Princess, and Neo-Queen Serenity, queen of future Tokyo," Xander said blandly.
Everyone looked at him in shock with their mouths hanging open. Had they just heard him right?
"Now, how many Sailor Scouts were there? Including Tuxedo Mask. What were their names?" Xander continued, taking out a huge notebook.
"Well, counting Tuxedo Mask, there were seven. Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Sun," Buffy stated.
"Okay. I don't know about this Sailor Sun, but Tuxedo Mask is Darien Shields, Sailor Moon is Serena Tsukino, Sailor Mercury is Amy Anderson, Sailor Mars is Raye Hino, Sailor Jupiter is Lita Kino, and Sailor Venus is Mina Aino," Xander said, while opening his notebook and taking out a sheaf of pictures. He laid the pictures of the Scouts (including Tuxedo Mask) in their uniforms on the table. "Is this what all of them look like in their uniforms?"
"Yes," Buffy said.
"Now, we've already confirmed that Serena is Sailor Moon. Look at these pictures. Can you see a resemblance?"
"Yes," Willow said in a light, gasp-like whisper.
"And this is Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina, and Darien."
"I haven't met Raye or Darien. But Serena and her friends hang out with Sunshine a lot. What was her last name again? Oh, it was Aradia. I should have guessed she was Sailor Sun," Buffy exclaimed.
When she had mentioned Sunshine's last name, Winnie, Nissa, Keller, and Galen looked sharply at Buffy. She suddenly got the feeling she was being stalked.
"What did you say Sunshine's last name was?" Keller asked quietly.
"Aradia. Why?"
"Because." Winnie snapped. "Aradia is the first name of the Maiden of all the witches."
"Oh. Well, I didn't know. The witches don't tell me everything. And neither do the shapeshifters." Buffy exclaimed pointedly.
"Well, you know now." Keller said. "We have to go patroling tonight. Why don't we go in two teams. We'll circle around the park. Team One, under Buffy: Winnie, Oz, Galen, and Cordelia. Team Two, under me: Willow, Nissa, Angel, and Xander. Maybe we'll get to meet these Sailor Scouts. Now, let's move out."
***
"Who are they?" Serena asked at Sunshine's house, after she and Sunshine had dropped everyone at the place Buffy was staying.
"I'll tell you at an emergency meeting. Contact the other Scouts and meet right away at the temple." Sunshine rushes into her house.
'That was wierd.' On the Scout communicators, she contacted the others and told them Sunshine had called an emergency meeting at the temple.
***
It's dusk when the Scouts get to the temple. They see she has a book in her hands and she's mumbling to herself.
"Oh, good, you're here. Now, in this book, I have the identities of those four people. Serena, Keller is a shapeshifter. When she 'shifts, she changes into a panther. Galen is a leopard. Nissa is a vampire and Winnie is a witch. Now, if I know Keller and Buffy, both, they'll go patroling tonight in two teams. One on each side of the park. Why don't we transform and do a Sailor Teleport to the middle of the park. Keller and Galen should hear us and change into their animal form. There are only two reasons Buffy and Giles would be here. One: There are going to be some major problems in Tokyo, or two: since Faith was killed, they might be looking for the next Slayer."
"Thanks, Sunshine. Okay, Scouts, Darien. Transform!" Serena yells.
"Moon Crystal Power!"
"Solar Star Crystal Power!"
"Mercury Star Power!"
"Mars Star Power!"
"Jupiter Star Power!"
"Venus Star Power!"
(Darien takes his rose out.)
"Okay, Darien. Stand in the center." Serena tells him.
"Sailor Teleport!"
