Episode 3: A grand surprise. Happy Anniversary! You're not Sailormoon.
"Konichiwa Mamoru-san!" Mamoru was at the bookstore. He placed the book he had been looking at and turned around only to come face to face with Minako, Rei, Makoto, and Ami.p
"Konichiwa minna."
The girls crossed their arms and stared at him, finally Minako spoke, "you remember what today is don't you?"
"Hai I know it's Usako's and my anniversary," the girls let out a sigh of relief. They all knew TOO well how Usagi could get if Mamoru forgot a special occasion. Then Mamoru sweat dropped and continued, "but could you girls tell me what anniversary it is?" The girl's face vaulted.
"Baka," Rei muttered under her breath.
"UMM first date!" Minako replied rather annoyed.
"Oh, well I better go get her a gift then."
The girls were now giving him a death glare.
"What?" Mamoru asked in a rather squeaky voice.
"Baka!" This time Rei spoke out loud, "do you have anything planned tonight!?"
"Of course, I'm taking her to The Moonlight Room." Mamoru said defensively. The girls got big hearts in their eyes, even Ami!
"The Moonlight Room! How Romantic!" Makoto said wistfully.
"Yeah," the other girls agreed.
Finally Ami snapped out of it, "well still Mamoru, you better get Usagi a gift or she'll lose it!"
"All right, all right...you girls want to help?"
Rei answered, "iie, we're going to see what we can figure out about those monsters...now get going!" after she had shouted the last two words Mamoru said his goodbyes and took off.
Ami, being ever on task, "well lets go find Usagi and check things out."
"Okay," the other girls mumbled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hmmm, those Sailor Senshi won't have it so easy this time." Pandora was hovering above the city with an evil grin plastered on her face. She began to cackle wickedly.p
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh, can't we take the day off? I mean it is my anniversary." Usagi groaned as she and the other girls were walking towards the movie theatre.
"Mamoru is still busy getting ready for tonight I'm sure so we might as well," Rei replied.
besides, people died yesterday, Usagi, we can't just take the day off." Ami added.
"Right, right, duty calls." Usagi muttered
"Although Usagi does have a point, that was terrible what happened last night! We need to get our minds off it! How about tonight we go to the Moonlight Room? I doubt we'll be able to get a table, but we can just go and enjoy the entertainment. I mean, it won't take all day to investigate!" Minako suggested
"Yeah, great idea!" Rei, Makoto, and Ami chorused.
"Wow, I've always wanted to go there," Usagi said dreamily. The other girls winked at each other behind Usagi's back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usagi was sitting in front of her bedroom mirror putting on the last of her makeup when the doorbell ran. Usagi giggled with glee and stood up. She exited her room and trotted down the steps only to find Mamoru being yelled at by her father. Mamoru has a LOT of sweat drops and her father was raving like a lunatic about respecting his daughter...curfews...blah, blah, blah. However Mamoru did look very sexy in his khaki pants, white shirt with black blouse shirt over it. His hair was well groomed and he was holding a bouquet of roses.
"Dad!" Usagi whined. Her father stopped mid-lecture and turned to her. He smiled at his daughter and began to read her "rights".
"Now remember...be home by nine"
"Otousan, my curfew's eleven."
Her father pretended not to here her, "and, you don't have to do anything if he makes you uncomfortable make him bring you home..."
"Otousan!"
Again he ignored her, "you don't owe him anything, and you don't even need to shake hands if you don't..."
"'TOOUUSSAANN!"
"blah, blah, blah...."
"FINE! Okay jaa Otousan, don't wait up! Let's go Mamo-chan."
"Uh....okay."
"blah, blah, blah..."
Usagi slammed the door as her father continued to ramble on.
Outside Mamoru escorted Usagi to his hott little sports car.
"You look so handsome Mamo-chan!" Usagi commented.
"You look bishoujo." Mamoru replied handing her the roses and opening the car door so Usagi could get in. Usagi was all glammed up in a spaghetti-strap pink dress with a knee-length flowy skirt. The outfit was complete with pink strappy sandals. Usagi blushed as she stepped into the car. The couple drove in near silence, Usagi was trying to figure out just what Mamoru was up to. All he told her was to put on her dancing shoes. [ Author's Note: I know that's an unusually corny thing for Mamoru to say, but oh well.]
Mamoru parked the car and the two walked the rest of the way to their destination. When they stopped in front of the Moonlight room Usagi squealed and jumped into Mamoru's arms. They kissed before heading up to the door.
"Name please." said the man at the door.
"Chiba ."
"All right Chiba-san, head right in. You're seated at table 3. You're waiter will be with you in a moment."
"Oooh Mamo-chan, this is sooo romantic," Usagi commented while clinging to Mamoru's arm. They entered the dining room. Mamoru pulled out Usagi's chair for her. From their seats they could see the dance room. Usagi spotted the other girls and waved at them. Then she turned back to Mamoru. "So, Mamoru, just how did you get reservations here? I mean you must've booked weeks ago!"
"Actually I made a new friend, she's a performer here, and I told her about trying to come up with the perfect place to take my girlfriend. She offered to get us reservation here."
"Oh...how nice of...her." //HER?!// Usagi was becoming jealous. However then the waiter came and broke her train of thought.
After Mamoru and Usagi had ordered and their drinks had come Mamoru lifted his glass. "Happy Anniversary." he said with a most charming smile on his face.
Usagi also lifted her glass, "Happy Anniversary." The two clicked their glasses and took a sip.
"koi shiteru Usako."
"Oh, koi shiteru Mamo-chan!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh, don't those two look cute." commented Rei.
"I wish I had a boyfriend." fumed Minako who was glaring at Usagi and Mamoru's table. Then over at Rei and Yuuichirou. Yuuichirou had CONVENIENTLY decided to show up for their girl's night out and now him and Rei had started slow dancing...after he had begged her to of course
"Me too," said Makoto. Then a cute guy walks by and Makoto gets hearts in her eyes, "he looks like my old boyfriend!"
"Well I should be home studying," said Ami. Minako and Makoto face vaulted.
"Loosen up Ami, it's time to have FUN now!" Minako lectured, "of course some people are having more fun than OTHERS are," she shot a death glare at Rei, who didn't notice, "but STILL."
"Oh your right," Ami said turning back to the stage...and bumping right into someone. That someone happened to be Haruka, Michiru was right beside her.
Haruka and Michiru turned around, "Konban wa!" they greeted.
"Konban wa!" replied Ami, Minako, and Makoto.
"Where's the rest of the crew?" asked Haruka.
"Well Mamoru-san and Usagi-chan are in the dining room. It's their anniversary. Rei-chan and Yuuichirou-san..." the three girls looked around but Rei and Yuuichirou were nowhere to be found, "well only GOD knows where they are," Minako grumbled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ittenshikai was getting ready backstage when Nichirin came by. Ittenshikai looks up from applying lipstick and observes her sister's attire. Nichirin is wearing black boots, black pants, a red tank top under a sheer red sleeveless top, and a leather jacket. "You're not going racing again!?" Ittenshikai whined.
Nichirin nodded and leaned back against the wall, "hai, but I thought I'd drop by to watch my onechan perform. So what songs are you going to amaze the crowd with tonight?"
"Don't think flattery is going to get you off the hook!"
"Uh oh...you're going into 'kassan mode.
Ittenshikai stood up, looking pretty pissed, "you bet I am, it's dangerous! If you must race on that dangerous thing then why can't you race in an arena or something?!"
"Too boring."
"TOO BORING!? WHY..."
"Umm, Ittenshikai, you're on in five." the stage manager called.
"This conversation isn't over!" Ittenshikai poked her finger at Nichirin to prove her point then she straightened up and smiled. Then she turned and marched off.
"Whew," Nichirin sighed collapsing into Ittenshikai's chair.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Konban wa!" Usagi greeted cheerfully, "Oh Haruka-san, Michiru-san, Yuuichirou-san, you are here to!"
"Konban wa," everyone replied. Mamoru and Usagi had now joined the others in the dance room. Yuuichirou and Rei were already back with the group. The current song ended and the performer waved and blew kisses at the audience as she exited the stage.
Mamoru glanced at his watch, "eight o'clock he stated, that girl Ittenshikai must be up next!"
Usagi was mumbling incoherently when an announcer walked onto the stage with a spotlight on him. "Now, ladies and gentlemen, enjoy the music of the newest edition to the Moonlight Room family...Stardust!" The announcer walked off and the stage went black. Suddenly a voice echoed through the room. The voice was beautiful, like chimes. Soft and slow music accompanies the voice.
"Ohohohohoh"
When I'm with you...oh yeah,
When I kiss you...uhuh,
When you hold me...oo,
The music speeds up and becomes more complicated and loud. It's a peppy pop song. Lights come on the stage and their is a band, some back up singers, dancers, and in the middle of it all stands a girl with long platinum blonde hair holding a microphone.
When Usagi saw the girl's appearance she began to fume. //Ooooo, I bet that girl's trying to steal my Mamo-chan! He didn't tell me she was a bishoujo!//. Usagi shoved those thoughts away when she looked up and saw Mamoru gazing down at her lovingly. He spun her around and the two began to dance with the music.
Yeah! It's Saturday night,
Time to party!
You bring your car around and we go.
Hit the dance floors!
Baby when you hold me
My body shivers!
Asking for more
She winks at the crowd as she dances along with her dancers.
Ooooo! At your touch
I become transparent
I feel like you can see into my soul
'm sure you could read my mind
if I'd allow it
(But there are some things!)
I'm not ready for you to know, Ohohoh
When I'm with you, (oh yeah)
When I kiss you, (uhuh)
When you hold me, (ooooo)
I lose myself in you!
Makoto and Minako looked from Mamoru and Usagi, then to Rei and Yuuichirou and grumbled. Then they looked at each other and nodded with determination. They spotted two cute guys and walked over to them. Meanwhile Ami, Haruka, and Michiru were chatting and dancing along to the music.
When you look at me, (mmmmm)
When you speak to me,(alright)
When I hold your hand, (come on)
I lose myself in you!
Minako and Makoto approached the two guys they smiled and in unison they said, "wanna dance?" Then they each grabbed a guy before they could reply and escorted them onto the dance floor.
At the movies,
You're so funny
I'm always happiest when with you.
At the resteraunt
you held the door for me
It's so sweet
All those things that you do!
On the way home
my heart sinks
I'm always saddest when away from you
But at my door
We kiss
Now I can go to bed
And have sweet dream's 'bout you
(When I'm with you) When I'm with you!
(When I kiss you) When I kiss you!
(When you hold me) Hold me
(I lose myself in you) so lost in you!
(When you look at me) look at me!
(When you speak to me) Speak to me!
(When I hold your hand)
I lose myself in you!
Everyone clapped and cheered enthusiastically, even Usagi. Ittenshikai smiled and waved at the crowd as she prepares to perform her next song.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pandora stood on the rooftop of the Moonlight Room. She opened the box and out came five monsters, each resembled a certain object. There was a car, a stereo, a lamp, a sewing machine, and a vanity. "Go my pets, and serve your master well." The monsters grinned evilly and flew off
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ittenshikai smiled and waved at the crowd as she exited the stage. She almost ran right into Nichirin. Ittenshikai glared at her sister. "Gee, I would've thought that you would've left by now."
"I was going to, but then I decided I should take my dear onechan out to celebrate. You were great by the way." Nichirin beamed at her sister.
"Don't think that gets you off the hook!" Ittenshikai tried to hold onto the glare but she just couldn't help but smile at Nichirin's Cheshire cat like grin. Ittenshikai sighed. "Fine where too?"
"Your pick, Superstar!"
It was then that they heard screaming. "What was that!"
Nichirin grimaced as she remembered last night's events, "Uhoh."
Ittenshikai looked accusingly at her sister and put her hands on her hips. "What's going on Nichirin?"
"No time to explain," Nichirin replied as she picked up her backpack. She pulled out Ittenshikai's locket and tossed it at her before retrieving her own.
Ittenshikai stared at the object in her hand. Then she said in a quiet and eerily calm voice, "you just did."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uranus and Neptune combined their Space Sword Blaster and Submarine Reflection attacks to destroy the vanity monster. All the senshi looked around surprised when the other monsters remained unfazed.
"What do we do now!" EternalSailormoon screamed.
"We attack!" Jupiter shouted.
"Matte!" Cried Mercury, grabbing Jupiter's arm, "I think we should combine our powers."
Jupiter stared at Mercury as if she had just said, 'lets not study, lets go play arcade games!' Their powers were rarely combined, even when they were it was usually only for the Sailor Planet attack. It was dangerous. //Oh well, Mercury's the genius around here.// Jupiter got an evil grin on her face and turned to the sewing machine monster. "Take this!" she shouted hurling a sparkling wide pressure at the monster. At the same time Mercury used her Mercury Aqua Rhapsody attack. That took care of the sewing machine monster.
Meanwhile, Mars and Venus had taken care of the lamp monster. Mars used her Celestial Fires Surround attack, and Venus had followed with a Crescent Beam Smash through the monster's chest(which turned out to be ceramic).
However the last two monsters proved to be a bit of a problem. The stereo monster was attacking sailor moon but then a rose interrupted. "How dare you interfere with time that 2 people who love each other are trying to spend together. How dare you ruin a romantic evening! I Tuxedo Kamen can not allow it." Tuxedo Kamen jumped between the monster and EternalSailormoon and began to attack using his cane. However the monster shocked him with it's chords and he fell into Sailor Moon's arms. "Koi shiteru...Usako," he whispered before he passed out.
"Mamo-chan..." The monster came nearer and then a silver ball of energy vaporized it. Shortly after, the car monster was also vaporized, this time by a gold ball of energy. The girls looked around surprised. Then they noticed the dust from the stereo monster floating in a stream up to the sky. They looked to where it was floating to and saw two shadowed figures on the roof of the Moonlight Room. The two figures looked like they were in sailor senshi uniform. "Dare?!"
"...."
"Tell me, please, tell me who you are!"
"Maybe you should tell us who YOU are." Universe said.
"I am EternalSailorMoon."
"And we're the Sailor Senshi," the others chimed in.
"You are not Sailormoon," replied Sun.
"Nani?" The others said in unison.
"...." The two figures walked away from the edge of the roof and out of site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pandora peered out from her hiding place on the other side of the wall. "So their the one's spoiling everything. Kissama! Well I will deal with those two later, whoever they are."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nichirin was lying down on a couch back at her and Ittenshikai's apartment, reading a book. Ittenshikai appeared in the doorway, looking distant. "You should have told me they were alive, Nichirin."
Nichirin put down her book and sat up. She turned to her sister, "sumimasen, I was trying to protect you."
"I know, but still."
"Well what do we do about them?"
"Watch over them I guess, and we should probably try to figure out their identities."
"Not to mention whom exactly is THAT Sailormoon."
"I already know who she is," Ittenshikai turned to walk away.
"You do! Who is she?"
"Can't say."
"WHY NOT?!"
Ittenshikai smirked, "I'm trying to protect you."
