New AN: I want to thank everyone who reviewed before. *sniff* Each and every one was read with delight. I'm very sorry that it took so long for me to get this out. I had the beginning done, then got stuck. But the next chapter is all planned out. Fun reading! ^R_R^

Old AN: Well, here's what happened. A. my *EX* best friend is a bitch and a slut and can go shove it. Do you know that she's only fourteen and already giving blow jobs? That's why D. stays with her. But the story is good and I'm going to keep going. Anyway, on with the story.

Title: The Fall Ball and Then Some

Chapter: 2

Author: Arabiana

Rating: R for naughty jokes and situations, possibly sexual.

The dark vampire and the light fairy held hands throughout the rest of the tour. The new order is guide, Ami, Lita, Me, Serena, and Darien. I swear, if I hadn't been holding onto her hand good and tight, her and Darien would have slipped away for some quality time together. Aww, young love. Makes me want to conjure up my soul mate early.

Yes, I know all about the Sailors and the Silver Millennium. I know that Serena and Darien are soul mates, and I know that the other Sailors have soul mates too, they just haven't found them yet. I also know that I Areai Knight, am also a Sailor, only one of a different kind.

I am a mystic, a psychic, a prophesier, a fortune-teller, an oracle, whatever you wish to call it. I am the one who knows. Only Serena and one or two other people know what I am. The only sailor beside Sailor Moon who knows is Ami a.k.a. Sailor Mercury, the others do not. Serena and I agreed that the less people who know, the better.

Serena must have sensed that something was bothering me because she whispered to me, "Areai? Are you alright?" I whispered back yeah, but Serena and Darien's mood was obviously broken, and they decided to bother me instead. Aren't I lucky.

"Come on Areai, we can tell something's bothering you," whispered Darien. He knew about my powers too. "I'll tell you guys later." I muttered. They looked knowingly at each other, but relented anyway.

Well, we got out of the haunted house alright, Darien took off working there and continued on with us.

"Hey Darien, why don't you show us how good you are at throwing stars and knives?"

"Yeah Cape-Boy, lets see if you can beat us!" Oh boy, trust Lita to turn this into a competition. Darien shot her a glare for the Cape-Boy comment and said, "Lead on Areai."

I take them all to the booths for throwing stars and knives. The man there, immediately begins to flirt with Ami and Lita, while gathering ten knives and stars, five each for Darien and Lita. "All right, let me show you how you do this," he said picking up a knife. "We know how it's done," interrupted Lita. "Fine, let me just get out of the way," he says, looking miffed as he walks to a safe place.

Darien turned to me, "Say 'throw' for each time, so we do it at the same time." I nod. They both pick up a knife, "Throw!" They both haul back and pitch forward. *BANG* *BANG* The knives went straight through the wall, buried to the hilt! And so it went, each matching the other with both stars and knives. After the last throw, the man walks over with his mouth hanging open. "You know we're going to have to cut those out of the wall!"

"No you won't," says Darien. He hops over the counter, and heads for the wall, followed closely by Lita. They pull each of the weapons from the wall and hop back over the counter, placing the weapons on top of it. The guy deals out ten "Free Kiss" cards to each of them. Lita splits her's with Ami. Darien gives a card to each of them, then the rest to me. "I've got a permanent one," he says, pulling Serena against his side. She blushes lightly, but her smile is huge.

"Thanks bud, but what am I going to use these for? You know how I am about kissing." I say, looking only slightly amused. "I know, I know, commitment is everything." he winks, "Who knows, maybe you'll see an angel." I glare at him. Serena gave him an elbow in the ribs. "Come on guys!" crowed Lita, "I wanna go find a bunch of hot guys to kiss!"

"Why don't we find the others first, I'm sure Mina wouldn't want to be left out of a babe hunt." I suggested. Everyone nodded. "Okay, where is she?" Everyone sweat-dropped. Ami stared to walk to the open ground between the games and elephant and camel rides. Darien shrugged and we all followed her. She motioned for us to huddle up as she pulled out her palm-computer. "Why didn't I think of finding Venus' coordinates with Ami's computer?" Lita wondered aloud. "Cause silly, Ami's the brains here." laughed Serena. "Hey!" Darien and I chorused. Lita just laughed and shook her head.

"Well guys, she's at the first theater we went past when we came in. Rei, Dustin, and Jason are with her." Ami blushed very slightly as she said who was with Mina. "Why Ami, you wouldn't happen to have a crush on D.T., now would you?" asked Serena, elbowing Ami lightly. She turned cherry red. "Well....maybe," she whispered.

"I'm not surprised." I said, "Dustin is very smart. And he's outspoken about his opinions...and everything else. A perfect balance to Ami. You can hold interesting conversations and debates with each other. And you know he wouldn't push you for a more physical relationship."

Everyone gaped at me. "Areai, are you...advertising Dustin?!" asked Darien in astonishment. "Yeah, I think they'd make a wonderful couple. 'Cept that Dustin in kinda sorta a tad immature at times. But that's just part of his charm." I grinned at Ami. "Why don't you ask him to the dance tonight? He's not going with anyone." She hesitated slightly, then straightened and declared, "I will ask him to the dance."

"Whoo go Ami! Yeah!" we yelled, getting only a few strange looks. "On one condition," she said, holding up her index finger and looking stubborn. "Areai, you have to ask someone to go as well." Damn it she cornered me! You could practically see steam coming out of my ears, I was so mad at myself. Then I just sorta deflated. "Alright. But I get to pick!" She smiled and linked arms with me. "Then by all means lets find Mina and Dustin and get on with it!" Sometimes Ami's brain is as much of a curse to the rest of us as it is a blessing.

New AN: How am I doing guys? I know, I know, cliche, but it really works well in the end, you'll see. Oh, also, the scouts know Areai knows about them, but like I said, only Moon and Mercury know about Areai.

*Glomps wonderful people who read and/or review* Love you minna! ^R_R^
