Authors Notes: Well here is part 2, I hope you all like it, but for everyones info I do not own any part of Sailor Moon ... so please do not sue me ( laughs to herself at the thought that they wouldn't get much anyways so.)! :o)
Also I have included the generals in this story, but Zoicite lives in America, but not for too long :o), And they are good guys not evil Beryl helpers.... So please remember that...talk to you all soon :o) Now on with the story...


Darien tossed and turned all night trying to get some rest but there was no use cause he knew that until they found Serena none of them would get any rest. He heard the phone ring and jumped to get it, but Malachite answered it before Darien could get out of his room. " Hello ... Rei have you heard anything? What? Who is she? Ok yes I will get him up and get Nephlite and we will all be there shortly. Bye " Darien came running out of the room dressed and ready to go. " What is going on Malachite ? Did they hear something from Serena? " Darien asked frantically. Malachite just looked at his friend and shook his head sadly, " No my friend not yet." He said with much regret in his voice. Darien just fell on the couch and forgot about the world around him. " We must get going though, there is a girl that has the scouts freaked out. Rei has a strange feeling about her and they want us there when they discuss her, so lets get going. " Malachite said as he placed his hand on Dariens shoulder. Darien looked up at his friend with fear in his eyes, and much regret. " I should have gone with her when she asked me too. She is all alone in a strange country and it is my fault. " Darien began to cry as his friends watched their prince cry for his lost princess. Malachite spoke softly to Darien , like a parent would talk to a child. " Darien we will find her, she is our friend and it is our destiny to protect her. We will not give up and neither will you. So let's get going. " Darien looked at Malachite and smiled, then after that they headed to the Cherry Hill Temple where the girls all waited for them.
Lita was the first to notice them, and she ran to Darien and gave him a tight hug. " Darien, Zoicite called this morning and said that he heard on the t.v. that they have found some of the wreckage of the plane and it looked as if it was attacked by some unexplainable force. " The rest of the group had gathered and were all listening. Darien looked around and noticed that Setsuna was there and walked over to her. " Tell me is she..is she.." He could not get the words out but Setsuna knew his question. " No Darien she is not dead, she just... isn't herself, but I can not tell you anymore. " She frowned as Darien began to beg her to bring Serena home. After Haruka and Rei had pulled Darien away a young girl walked up to the temple and the group all turned to look at her. The young girl walked around the temple and looked at all the trees and flowers when she noticed the group of people standing by the entrance to the temple. Rei looked at the group and began to speak in a hushed whisper, " That is the girl that I told Malachite about this morning. I get a strange vibe when ever she is around."
Hudson just looked at them and didn't make any attemp to approach them, she decided that it was best if she just left. She turned and started to walk off when a young man ran smack dab into her. "Oh my gosh I am so sorry, I didn't see you standing there. " Hudson looked up from the ground where she now sat on her bottom. " I assure you I am fine. Please do not make a fuss. " The young man looked at her and offered her his hand to help her up, once she was on both feet she looked into his eyes and felt her face get hot as she blushed from being face to face with a handsome young man about her age. " I am so sorry my name is Jedite, but my friends call me Jay for short. " He said as he extended his hand to shake hers. Before the young girl could respond a raven haired girl was standing next to Jedite. " WHAT may I ask is going on here the young brunette asked with flames in her eyes. " Well Rei I was in a hurry to get here and I knocked this poor girl down, it was a cmplete accident miss. " He said kindly as he turned towards Hudson. Rei looked at Jedite and then turned around, " I doubt that seriously. " She said under her breath to noone in particular. " Excuse me, but do you have some sort of problem with me? " Hudson asked never looking away from Reis stare when Rei turned look at her. * What is it about her, I don't any negative vibes about her. * Rei continued to look at Hudson but could never figure out waht it was about the young girl that seemed so strange to her. " If you will excuse me, I need to talk to someone. " Rei said politely as she excused herself. She walked up to Setsuna and pulled her off to go talk. " Huh I wonder what that is all about? " Darien said to the rest of the group as Rei left dragging Setsuna behind her. " I really must be going. I really don't even know what brought me here today, but I think it best if I leave. " Hudson said as she turned to leave, but before she could go she felt a hand on her wrist. When she turned around she was greeted by friendly blue eyes. *So much pain.* She thought to herself. "Please don't let Rei get to you, she is always hot tempered, but we all love her, she is just really protective of her friends. " Darien said as he held onto Hudsons wrist. " Well if you are sure it is ok that I stay, then I guess I will. " She said calmly. Darien looked at her and then extended his hand to her, " I am Darien Shields, pleased to meet you. This is Malachite, Nephlite, Mina, Amy, Lita, and you have already met Jedite. " Darien finshed up the introductions while Hudson looked all around and smiled at the group of people in front of her. " Well my name is Hudson, I am from America. I just moved here with my parents, and I am trying to get use to the surroundings before I have to start school. "
"Really where will you be going? " Lita asked. Hudson looked at her and smiled, " I believe the school is Juuban, but I am not sure." The girls all smiled. "REALLY??? That is where we go," Lita said speaking for her Amy and Mina. " You don't have to worry about Rei she is in a private school, " Mina said with a smirk on her face. The group of people all stood around Hudson and continued talking as Rei was off talking with Setsuna. "Rei what is wrong? Why are you taking me half way around the temple?" Setsuna asked as Rei finally came to a stop and looked up at her friend. "Well here it is, there is something about that girl, I don't know just yet what it is, but I definalty feel something." Rei kept rambling on and on and finally Setsuna could take no more. " What do you think it is Rei? What about this girl is making you so uneasy? " She asked her friend sweetly. Rei looked at Setsuna and rasied her eyebrow, "You know don't you? You know who she is. " Setsuna looked at Rei, and began to laugh. Rei was stunned to see her friend laugh and especially at such a critical time like this. "Oh Rei there is no getting anything past you, is there? " Rei looked at her friend and couldn't figure her out, " Just tell me what is going on, is she an enemy? Should I take her out now or later? " Rei looked at Setsuna and grabbed her arm in a desperate attempt to get her friend to talk. " Please tell me what is going on, who is this girl? " Rei begged, Setsuna took a deep breath and let it out slowly. " Very well Rei she is another scout that has come to help us in our upcoming fights. She does know that she is a Sailor Scout we are going to be facing a very tough enemy really soon and we will need the help of her and another knight. This also means we need Zoicite to return home from America. " Rei stood there in shock listening to what Setsuna said carefully, " Well then tell us were Serena is. " Setsuna looked at Rei and frowned, " If I told you it would be a very tragic thing, you see Serena is with the knight of whom we are waiting for. " Rei looked down and tears pierced her eyes as she thought about poor Serena and the coming battle ahead of them all. " Well then I guess we should get going and introduce ourselves to our new friend and find out more about her. " Rei said as she smiled meekly. Setsuna followed behind Rei and almost ran into her when Rei turned around abrubtly, " If anything bad should happen to Serena you will tell us right? " She asked now with deep worry in her eyes. " Oh Rei I would never let anything to bad happen to her you know that, right? " Setsuna said to Rei. " I hope not, I really do." Rei finished before turning around to rejoin her friends.
Rei and Setsuna joined the group again and Rei approached Hudson. " Oh no here we go again." Mina muttered under her breath but was surprised to find out that Rei had heard her. " WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN MINA !?!?!?!? " Mina looked at Rei and then back at the group, " Well Rei I only meant...", but was cut off when Rei spoke. " Listen I am sorry now for my behavior, I did not mean to come off as rude. See I am just real protective of my friends and BOYFRIEND." Reis said while giving Jedite a look of death.
"My name is Rei and you ae welcomed here anytime." Rei extended her hand out to Hudson who graciously took it. "Thank you very much, my name is Hudson and I am new here from America." The group sat around talking for a long while. When the sun began to set they all went down to the park and decided to watch it for thier friend whom they all missed dearly.
"Rei, You know about me, don't you?" Hudson asked looking at Rei with with deep concern in her eyes, completely unware of the fact that the rest of the group could also hear the conversation. Rei shook her head and looked down before noticing that everyone was aware of hers and Hudsons conversation.
"Rei why don't you tell us what is going on?" Lita asked. "We you know my name is Hudson, but what you do not know is that I am Sailor Callisto. I was sent here to help you all out. Setsuna helped me get here and also we were able to work out a transfer for my father." Hudson said. "SETSUNA!?!?!?! We are in need of an explanation." Dairen yelled. Suddenly the air began to stir as a portal opened and out stepped Sailor Pluto, "Darien I am sorry I can not tell you guys anything more than you already know. Let's just call this a test of love, faith, and friendship. Now all of you must train Hudson here to be a proper scout. Just because she knows who she is does not mean she knows how to use he full powers and we must show her." Pluto was about to leave when she saw Dariens face again, "Listen I know this is killing you, but I promise you Serena is safe, but she must go through this experience. She wil not be alone I promise, and you will see her soon enough." With that Pluto was gone and the group was left again with their thoughts. "Darien wll help us or not?" Mina asked gently to a very distracted Darien. Darien looked at Mina and then at the rest of the group and he noticed how they all looked so happy, yet so sad. "Yes I will help. I will not let Serena down." With that the group all made plans to meet at the temple the next day to begin there training and then they said their goodbyes and went home. Darien lingered in the park for a bit after everyone else had left and was thinking about everything that happened between him and Serena, and he wanted to beat himself for being so damn arrogant and mean to Serena all that time before they knew who the other really was. He began to slowly walk home when he caught a glimpse of Hudson sitting on a bench crying, Darien slowly inched closer to the crying young girl and watched her intensly. He noticed that she held a neclace that had a penant on it, He couldn't tell what was on the penant but he knew it had to be important. Darien decided to leave the crying young girl until he heard her speak. "Darien it's ok you can come and join me, I won't bite I promise." Darien turned around and took a seat next to her and waited for her to speak. "Listen I understand your pain Darien, In the Silver Millenium I was very close to the girls especially Princess Serenity and her royal guard. I was devastated when I learned that All of you guys were killed and that I had survived, I was so upset I thought that I could have doen something, but I soon learned that it was beyond help." Hudson looked down and cried softly then looked back up at Darien and smiled sweetly. "I am very happy that you and the princess, and the generals and scouts have found one another again. I just hope that I can be that lucky. Listen I know you don't rememeber me, but once Serena is back then the whole past will be unlocked, and she will be bringing a knight with her, but I am not sure which knight it is. I knew of two back then and I heard that there is only one coming with her, but like I said I have no idead of who it is." Hudson looked over at Darien and smiled,"Well I best get going we have a long day ahead of us, and from the looks of Rei I really don't want to be late." Darien just laughed and shook his head, "If what you say is true then I am sure your prince will return to you. As for Serena I just hope she is safe, And after all of this is over I'm going to do something that I should've done over a thousand years ago." Hudson looked at Darien and asked, "What is that? Marry her?" She asked with a smile on her face. Darien looked over at her and began to laugh, "Yes, I am going to ask her to be my wife and pray she will say yes." "Oh come on Darien do you really think she would say no?" Hudson responded. Darien blushed and began to laugh, "You do have a point there." After that they bothe got up and began to leave the park,"Do you need me to walk you home?" Darien asked the girl to his side. "No thank you Darien it really isn't that far and I will be ok, besides I think you need to go home and orepare for the big day." She laughed as she gave Darien a big hug goodbye. "Thank you for listening Darien." Hudson said as she gave Darien a quick wave goodbye. "Bye Hudson see you tomorrow." He said as he went home.
