Sailor Moon-American Senshi

EPISODE 7-MERCURY AND GILDED ROSE FIGHT ALONE
I do not own any of the main characters in this story except for Gilded Rose. They are owned by someone in Japan. However, with the exception of Serena Campbell and Amy Anderson, I do own the Americanized names of the characters, as well as many of the supporting characters and villians. To make things easy, we'll just say that anything that has appeared in the manga or anime version of Sailor Moon is owned by someone in Japan, most likely Toei or Naoko Takeuchi. Big Bird is owned by Children's Television Workshop/Henson
This story quotes lyrics from REO Speedwagon's song Can't fight this Feeling, which was written by Kevin Cronin.

"So what's he like?" Serena said over the phone to Amy.
"What's who like?" Amy said.
"Here's a dollar, buy a clue," Serena said. "I'm talking about your former classmate, as well as our new teammate."
"Tom?" Amy said. "Serena, you mean to tell me you have a crush on Tom Chiba?"
"He's only the cutest boy I have ever seen," Serena said.
"Well," Amy said. "There isn't much to say about him. All I know is that he doesn't have a girlfriend."
Amy and Serena continued their conversation for a few minutes, and when Amy hung up, she heard Jake's car stereo coming from the driveway.
I can´t fight this feeling any longer.
And yet I´m still afraid to let it flow.
What started out as friendship,
Has grown stronger.
I only wish I had the strength to let it show.
She poked her head out the window. "I'll be right down," she called.
"No hurry," Jake said. "We don't have to be back at my house until noon anyways."
Back inside, Amy grabbed several items, including a swimsuit and a towel, and placed them in a duffel bag. She then went downstairs, and left the house ang got into Jake's car.
Jake pulled out of the driveway, and drove down the street, and pulled into Hillcrest Park. "I thought we were going back to your house," Amy said.
"Well," Jake said, "since I was picking you up, my dad told me to run over to the Pop Shoppe and pick up a few cases of soda."
"Oh," Amy said. "But why are we going through Hillcrest Park?"
"Shortcut."
"Oh."
As Jake drove through the park, Amy thought she saw a bolt of lightning. "Jake," she said, "stop the car."
"What's the problem?" he asked.
"I thought I just saw lightning," she said.
Jake stopped the car, and looked at the sky. "Strange," he said, "there's not a cloud in the sky. Where did it come from?"
"There," Amy said, pointing towards the baseball diamonds. What they saw quickly got their attention. A seven foot tall, yellow, birdlike humanoid was shooting lightning bolts. "I'll bet my life savings Big Bird's one of the Darkness's cronies," Amy said.
"I'll take that bet," Jake said, pressing the button on his watch to activate the communicator function. "It's Gilded Rose," he said. "Mercury and I are in Hill. . . " he stopped mid-sentence.
"What's wrong?" Amy asked.
"I just noticed whatever that thing is is jamming our communicators," he said. "Looks like it's just the two of us this time."
"I'm on it," Amy said, getting out her transformation wand. "Pretty Mercury Soldier, Make-up!"
Jake threw his transformation rose down. "Transform!"
"You're going down!" Gilded Rose called to the monster.
"Oh really?" the monster asked. "And just who's going to take me down?"
"Gilded Rose and I," Sailor Mercury said. "I am the pretty Sailor Soldier Mercury."
"We stand for truth and justice," Gilded Rose said. "We protect the Earth from evil such as you. In the name of all that is good, we shall punish you."
"So be it," the monster said, shooting a lightning bolt at Gilded Rose, who easily dodged it. The monster and Gilded Rose flew at each other.
Gilded Rose caught the monster in the midsection with one end of his staff, and flipped it on its back. He rebounded off a tree, and caught the monster in a bulldog headlock as it recovered. As the monster got up from the bulldog, it shot a lightning bolt through the ground at Gilded Rose, who reacted by placing his staff in the ground at an angle, and balancing on it. "Why aren't you dead?" the monster asked. "I sent a lightning bolt powerful enough to fry you where you stood."
"Easy," Gilded Rose said. "My staff is insulated from the effects of electricity. I could hit a million volt bare wire with it and not feel anything. It also helps that the staff is strong enough to support a bull elephant."
Seeing how Gilded Rose got out of that situation gave Sailor Mercury an idea. She ran back to Jake's car, and looked on the floor behind the driver's seat, where she found his black high-top sneakers. She put them on over her boots, and they barely fit. However, she wasn't too concerned with comfort at that moment, rather, function. She then ran back into the battle, and the monster fired a lightning bolt at her, which Gilded Rose blocked with his staff. As they were regrouping, Gilded Rose thought of an idea on how to finish the monster off. "Your powers are water related, aren't they?" he asked.
"Yeah," she answered,. "What do you have in mind?"
"Hit him with everything you got," he said.
"Oh yeah," she said, realizing what he had in mind. "And I suppose you want to give him a gold rush, too?"
While Jake ran to a point behind Sailor Mercury, she went to work on the monster. "Time to take off the kid gloves," she said. "Shine Aqua, Illusion!" she yelled, as a tidal wave came out of nowhere and struck the monster, who was stunned, as it appeared to short-circuit.
Jake took a running start, and a step before he leapt up, he yelled "Now!" Sailor Mercury got down on one knee, as Gilded Rose vaulted off her shoulders, and flew towards the monster. "Gold Rush!" he yelled, and fired several bolts of gold energy at the monster, which caused it to overload and explode. Gilded Rose landed in a kneeling position several metres behind the monster, and after it exploded, Sailor Mercury ran to Gilded Rose. As he got up, he noticed Sailor Mercury's unusual choice of footwear. "Oh that look is you," he said.
"I got the idea from you," Sailor Mercury said. "When you used your staff to insulate yourself from the monster's ground attack. I remembered you had a pair of sneakers in the backseat, and used their rubber soles to insulate myself." She took off the sneakers, as Gilded Rose threw down his transformation rose, and the two of them were reverted back to their civilian identities.
Jake's house, 11:55 a.m.
Jake pulled into the driveway, and he and Amy each took a case of soda to the backyard, where Jake's dad put them in a steel garbage can that was filled with ice. Jake and Amy went back to get the rest of the soda, and Amy's bag. "You know, Jake," Rae said, grabbing a case, :"It sure took you a long time just to pick up Amy and buy a few cases of soda."
"Well," Jake said, "Amy and I were fighting a lightning monster."
"You fought it alone?" Rae said, slightly irritated. "You two know the Sailor Soldier code. We stick together. We don't try to fight alone. We call for backup when we get in trouble."
"Well, we tried to call," Jake said. "The monster somehow jammed the signal. We had no choice but to fight alone. Fortunately, all of Mercury's attacks are water-based."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Rae asked.
"Water and electricity don't mix," Amy said. "I realized that when he asked if my power was water based."
"Listen," Jake said, as they walked to the backyard. "Ixnay on the Ailorsay Oldiersay. As far as anyone else is concerned, we're just normal teenagers."
They got back to the backyard, and put the cases of soda on the patio table. Jake excused himself to his bedroom to change into his swimtrunks. "Where can I change into my swimsuit?" Amy asked.
"Go through the family room, and just before you get to the door to the garage, there's a bathroom on the right," Mr. Slater said. "What about you Rae?" he asked, as Amy went in the house. "Do you need to change, too?"
"No," Rae said. "I don't need to change." She took off her t-shirt to reveal a red string bikini. A minute later, Amy came out of the bathroom wearing a one-shoulder swimsuit with a black and white 'op art' print.
A minute later, Jake came out, and both Rae and Amy chuckled at his choice of swimwear. He was wearing red trunks with a large white dot on the front of each leg. "What's so funny?" he asked.
"Oh nothing," Amy said, and Rae added "Mickey."
