1.1.1.1 Chapter Two

"So, you're new to town, eh?"

"Yeah. I guess you could say that." Nadine was finding it very hard to make up a conversation with Rei's grandpa. She kept on staring down at her cup of water, wondering why she was here with him instead of in the other room with her friends.

All of the sudden, Nadine felt something, something very strange. "Enemy." she whispered.

"What young lady?" Rei's grandpa asked with a smile.

"Um. I better get going." Without even saying goodbye, Nadine got up and ran for the front door.

"Venus Love Chain Encircle!" Sailor Venus shot her attack at the demon, but it leaped into the air and missed the attack. "Oh no!" she yelled.

"Let me try!" Sailor Jupiter stepped into action. "Jupiter Thunder Clap Zap!" Once again the monster just jumped into the air out of the way.

"This thing is way to aggressive! We can't hit it with our attacks, Jupiter!" Venus yelled.

"I hope the others get here soon."

The demon turned to the two scouts and suddenly lunged toward then.

"Look out!"

"Mars Celestial Fire, Surround!"

The monster fell to the ground from the fiery blast. Just in time, Sailor Mars, Mercury and Moon joined the two at the scene.

"Sailor Moon, let's get this over with, use the scepter!" yelled Mercury.

Sailor Moon ran in front of the other scouts. "Right!" she said. Raising the scepter above her head she began her attack. "Moon Spiral Heart."

"Burn!" flames passed over the girls' head and found their way to the demon, burning a whole in it and turning the rest into a pile of ashes. Only the heart crystal remained.

"Wow Sailor Moon! Where did you learn do that attack?"

The blonde turned to face the others. "I didn't do that. In fact, I didn't even get to finish my attack."

The others stared. "But, then who did?"

They all turned around to see two figures. Then, all of the sudden, they leaped into the air, and out of sight.

Nadine ran down the sidewalk with someone else by her side. It was a very tall, green haired girl around the age of twenty-seven. The two stop right in front of Rei's temple.

"Thanks for the help on such sort notice," Nadine whispered to the girl.

"It's okay," she replied.

"Have any idea who those other scouts were?"

"Yes, but I will tell you about them later."

"Got it." The red hair then ran to the front door of the temple, leaving the tall girl all alone on the sidewalk.

"I'm back," Nadine said as she stepped inside. Surprisingly, Rei's Grandpa was still sitting at the table drinking his water.

"Welcome back," he piped up in a cheerful voice.

Nadine raised her eyebrows. "I think I'm going to go back to Rei's room with the girls,"

She walked down the hallway and stepped into the familiar room. No one was there. Then the door burst open and Serena, Ami, and Rei stepped inside.

"Where did you three go?" Nadine asked curiously.

"Um. went to get some fresh air," Serena said between breathes.

"You certainly must have got a lot of it."

The trio just smiled.

At the Tomoe Mansion, Mimette sat at her desk. In front of her she had a magazine, which she was quietly reading.

Professor Tomoe suddenly came up behind her. "Isn't it interesting how you find all your victims from Magazines?"

Mimette looked up. "Yes, isn't it? Well, actually I was just about to. do something on the computer."

Professor Tomoe turned serious. "Didn't I give you an assignment to do?"

Mimette seemed surprised. "Well, I haven't found a target yet."

"You better find one soon Mimette, I have a feeling something quite interesting is going to happen."

Serena sat on her bed that evening. Her mind was full of questions and thoughts. "Who were those figures? Were they other Sailor Scouts?" she wondered. "That means there's more of them. But how many can there be?" She leaned over and opened a drawer on her nightstand. She took out her communicator and spoke into it. "Ami," she began, "I need to talk to you."

Suddenly Ami's voice filled the room. "Yes?"

Serena got up and began to walk around in circles with the communicator in her hand. "How many Sailor Scouts are there? Do you know?"

"I have no idea. You're thinking about those two shadows that we saw, aren't you? They most certainly were Sailor Scouts, I can tell you that. I mean, after all, they are the ones that defeated that demon. Not us."

"Yeah. I know. But where did they come from? Why haven't we seen them before?"

"I don't know Serena. Ask me later, I have to go now." Then there was a click and Ami's voice was gone.

"Bye Ami." Serena put the communicator back into the drawer and was just about to close it when Nadine walked in with a towel wrapped around her.

"I'm finished with my shower. You can have the bathroom now."

Serena smiled. "You know Nadine, it's really great having you around."

Nadine rested on Serena's bed as silent as could be. It was 3:00 a.m., and everyone was asleep except for her. Over Serena's snoring she tried to think to herself.

"Those other scouts. Pluto must already know them. I guess I'll just have to wait until I see here again. But, where did that monster come from? It definitely wasn't one of Queen Neta's evil demons." She took a deep breath and looked out the window at all the stars. "Oh well. at least the monster is destroyed, that's all that matters." With that last thought, she closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

The next day, it was Serena's idea that they should spend the last day of their weekend shopping. After about four hours of going from store to store, Nadine was pretty worn out. But the blonde was determined not to let the day end without doing something else.

"I have a great idea! Let's go to the arcade!" Serena led Nadine down the street a couple of blocks and into the familiar building with a sign on it's front reading 'Crown Arcade.' "This is the new Sailor V game," she exclaimed, pointed to one of the game sets, "give it a whirl!"

"Um. ok, I guess." Nadine seated herself on the stool while Serena sat down next to her. She then inserted her quarter.

"This is the best way to have fun," Serena smiled as she watched the redhead play. "Oh no! Watch out!" 'Game Over!' suddenly flashed on the screen.

"It's a great way to lose money too," Nadine said as she inserted another quarter.

"It takes practice." Serena stood up walked over to a tall blonde young man who was standing in the back of the arcade. Pulling by his sleeve, Serena took him over to Nadine. "Nadine, this is Andrew," she said.

"Great job Serena! Now I just -- oh!" Nadine looked up. "Hello Andrew!" she said, seeming to have gotten dumbstruck by Andrew. "He's cute," she whispered to Serena with a slight giggle.

"Hi." Andrew replied with a friendly grin.

"Oh my gosh! A candy sale! We've got to go there!"

After the Arcade, Serena dragged Nadine to a Candy Store who happened to be having a sale.

"They look so yummy!"

"Yeah, they do!"

Both the girls stared wide-eyed at all the delicious treats.

"Come on!" Serena grabbed Nadine by her arm and pulled her inside the store. "I still have cash left and I'm starved!" Running up to the cash register, Serena almost said that she would buy everything, but after looking at the change in her hand, she quickly changed her mind. "I'll take. that. and that. most definitely that." Serena said pointing to each chocolate treat she desired.

Nadine walked up behind Serena just as she was paying. She did have a couple of bucks left. Luckily, she hadn't spent them all on that Sailor V game like Serena had when she was trying to give her lessons. Taking out the leftover money from her pocket, the redhead decided to indulge herself. "I'll take. that and that. plus that. not to mention that. maybe that. well, of course that and that."

Serena just stared. "You're going to share right?" she asked.

"Sure, Serena," Nadine said after handing her dollars to the cashier. "Here you go." She handed Serena a little chocolate. "It's vanilla cream filling."

Serena looked at the little bit-sized piece. All of the sudden she inhaled it so fast that it was gone from her hands and swallowed in less than a second.

In the cold heart of her chambers, Queen Neta sat on her dusty throne. "So. you say you saw five other Sailor Scouts, is that correct?"

Montor, her general, beamed up at her. "Yes, I have a feeling that there is also another enemy nearby too."

"Where do you get this idea?"

Montor grinned. "Because your Highness. Five Sailor Scouts don't just appear and attack."

"Yes, that does seem possible. This gives me an idea. Thank you Montor. You are dismissed."
