Koneko-chan says!

Hi! Yeah, it's me. Read it… You might like it. It's kind of like Serena and Relena are something of the same thing, getting the cold guy they love to admit that they love them. In this story, it's already into around the middle of Sailor Moon S with some of the attacks of Sailor Moon Super S (Okay fine, I'm way screwing up the story lines of the anime), but Darien seems to hate Serena still. For Gundam Wing… I don't know. Just imagine that they're still fighting and Relena's still promoting total peace. I OWN SAILOR MOON, AND GUNDAM WING! *Ow!* Okay, fine I don't, but I will… someday. Do you think Naoko or… whoever made up the other one will let me have the rights? Yeah, I doubt it too… oh well… *sigh* Oh by the way, I'm using the DiC names… it's on account of Serena, you'll get why later. But some of the words are Japanese. Read on!

= empathic thoughts from the characters when talking to me.

:: :: = me popping in at odd moments actually into the story. And I'll actually be in it in odd times too. You know, the secret advisor type. Especially with Heero since he needs the most help. J

Oh yeah… and I'm also a real meddler in the later chapters… heehee.

Prologue

"MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK!" the heart-snatcher gave one last piercing shriek before it was defeated and the pure heart crystal fell from the air to be caught by Sailor Moon. "Miaka!" (Just for the story… had to use a name for the story) Sailor Moon rushed to her fallen friend and returned the stolen heart crystal. The auburn-haired girl blinked as the color returned to her face and she gave a moan. "Augh… What happened?" Sailor Moon simply smiled and ran off after making sure there were no more heart-snatchers around. She was alone; the other scouts had not even shown up. Only the Outer Scouts had appeared. A few tears ran down her cheeks, the other Inners had been neglecting their scout duties for a while now, and only Serena appeared to fight the heart-snatchers.

Neptune watched the young sailor soldier run with her golden hair flying behind her in two long pigtails. She felt a stirring of pity for her. She had taken the task of defeating the monsters on herself after the other scouts had seemed to stop wanting to fight. Sailor Moon had generously taken the task upon herself as the others 'sorted out their emotions' as they put it. Uranus stood behind her and put a hand on Neptune's shoulder. "I wish there was something we could do." Murmured Neptune, but Uranus shook her head firmly. "You know we must focus on our mission." Neptune sighed. "I know it's our mission, but she's a sailor soldier as well…" she trailed off.

Uranus looked after Sailor Moon. Abruptly, she stepped forward to Neptune's surprise. "Wha-" She was hushed by Uranus who was waving a hand at her frantically. "Let's follow her. She *has* to de-transform and then if we know who she is, we might be able to find the crystals more easily if we can contact them." Neptune looked at Uranus in surprise. "Nani? But you're the one who always says we can do well without help. You always say we are superior to the other sailor scouts… why the sudden change?" Uranus stopped for a moment and she was at a loss for words. "There are times when we will need help, and also when they will as well. We all want peace for the world." Neptune nodded and began to run silently after her partner.

Running away from the battle scene, Sailor Moon stopped and leaned against a tree to catch her breath. She felt uneasy as if she could feel someone watching her and she wisely decided not to de-transform. She began to run quickly before leaping up onto a low roof of a house and looking around. She sighed as the weird feeling disappeared before de-transformed quickly until she was just plain schoolgirl Serena. She looked around once more before jumping off and running to her home once more.

She was in too much of a hurry to hear two gasps of surprise and astonishment coming from two bushes close to where she had been momentarily. Neptune blinked. "Sailor Moon… is… Serena?!?" Uranus was just as shocked. "It… can't be!" They both de-transformed quickly and raced to the yellow sports car that Alexandra owned. Leaping in gracefully, Michelle settled into the passenger seat, while Alex vaulted into the driver's seat.

They drove after Serena quickly and soon caught up with her, since she was a little drained from the energy loss by using the Spiral Moon Wand. "Alex! Michelle! How are you guys doing?" she called as she slowed down a little. "Usagi! Come join us! We're going over to the Crown Game Center, wanna come?" called Alex while Michelle turned to her in astonishment but recovered quickly. "Yes, please come along… we have something to talk about." Serena felt a small pang of fear, What if they saw me? How can I explain this to them if they did? "Uh, sure guys… I'm coming." She ran over and jumped in the backseat of the car.

They pulled up in front of the Crown Game Center and walked in together. As they entered, Serena noticed the other inner scouts and waved to them. They simply swiveled in their seats, spotted her, put their heads together and whispered pointing at Serena. They all simultaneously stood up and left the arcade. Serena watched as they exited, slamming the door as they left. Andrew stared after them confused. "What happened Serena? Did you and your friends have a fight?" Serena shook her head confusedly, her face a mask of shock. Alex put her hands on Serena's shoulders and pushed her to a more private part of the arcade. (AN: Do you think there would be a 'private' part of an *arcade*?) They all sat down. Alexandra, being naturally blunt asked Usagi the question that was in both her and Michelle's head. "How can *you* be Sailor Moon?!?" Michelle gasped and slapped Amara slightly on the side of her head. "Alex!"

Serena herself had paled as she heard Alex's words. "H-how… I mean- what are you talking about? How could *I* be Sailor Moon?!" Alex shook her head. "Sorry Serena… we saw you de-transform. You were at the fight with the heart-snatcher." Alex's eyes widened as she slapped a hand to her mouth. "Oops." She muttered under her breath as Serena looked up at her, her eyes equally wide. "You-you're the Outer Scouts aren't you!" Michelle waved her hand. "Shhh! Not so loud! We can't let anyone hear! Yes, we are the Outer Scouts, Neptune and Uranus. You must never tell anyone of this secret." Serena nodded. "As you must my own." They both nodded.

"But what's wrong with you and your friends?" Serena shrugged helplessly. "I don't know myself… they've stopped wanting to fight as sailor soldiers so I've taken on the responsibility myself." Michelle nodded. "I figured that they would be the other scouts… how about Tuxedo Mask? I haven't seen him joining you in battle either…" Serena's eyes filled with tears, though she tried valiantly to blink them away. "He… he, uh… well… I don't really know… he seems to be trying to keep away from me like the other scouts are doing… I'm not sure what's going on…" trailing off, she slumped in her seat.

Michelle looked closely at Serena. She could see something… she wasn't sure what though. It was a very hazy part of her that was being suppressed, something that Serena herself wasn't aware of… She shook her head to clear the thoughts. "Well, we are always going to be there to fight alongside you… unless it should become an obstacle in our mission." Serena sighed. "Why must you destroy a soul to be able to retrieve their pure heart crystal?" Alex interrupted here. "We cannot say this much Serena, we wish to, but it will go against our mission and we cannot have that." Serena nodded. "I understand."

Looking over at Andrew who was coming over with their milkshakes and after talking and having their shakes, they walked out together where Alex and Michelle drove Serena home. As they reached Serena's front door, they immediately tensed. They could all sense something wasn't right and Serena cautiously slipped out of the car to her door. Then, to Serena, the world was torn apart.

Mina walked out from the bushes that were next to her door. "Serena? We need to talk." The other Inner Senshi came out from around Serena and surrounded her. Michelle and Alexandra stood by watching out of hearing distance but ready to spring out at any time, they could sense something wasn't right. Mina glared at Serena. "Guess what Serena? The other scouts here all agree with me when I say we want you out of the sailor senshi!" Serena gasped. "You don't think I make a good sailor scout?!"

Raye sneered. "Is there an echo or something? I think we've made it clear that we don't need you around anymore!" Serena's eyes grew cold. "And you think you can handle the heart-snatchers without me? Do you think you can all fight against the new enemy without my help? What are you going to do? Use the pathetic Sailor Planet Attack?" The other senshi glared at her. "You're right… so why don't we just give Mina your power? It would make it easier for us and her if we give the power to someone more worthy of it!" Lita made a grab at Serena, but with surprising strength, Serena grabbed Lita's hand and wrenched her away. "And you believe you can do this to me? And I thought you were my friends!"

Amy snorted. "Oh yeah right. Weren't you the one sitting around talking with those two stupid lesbians at the arcade?" Serena gasped. "Amy! How can you be so mean?!" None of them graced her with an answer. "Fine. If you want me to leave, I will." Serena turned around and walked back over to the car where Alex and Michelle could see shining tears on Serena's face as she walked away from her friends. Glaring at the four girls, Alex slammed her foot on the acceleration and they sped off. Unbelievable, they are simply unbelievable. After being so faithful to Sailor Moon for all this time, even when Neptune and I pitted against her for the throne of Crystal Tokyo, they simply turn on her for no reason, especially if they are the ones neglecting their duty?!

From behind them, the group of people on Serena's doorstep grinned. "Well, this is a start." Hissed Raye at the other senshi who seemed to be in a daze. "You have done well my slaves. For this I will reward you well." The other scouts looked up at her. "So we have pleased our master?" hissed Mina. A shadow drifted around the senshi surrounding them, a voice hissed from the fog, "Yes, my slaves. Return to me." The fog swirled around them and they disappeared from the doorstep.

Meanwhile, Serena, in the car along with Michelle and Alex was in a state of shock. Michelle turned around in her seat to give Serena a look of deep pity. "Serena… it's going to be alright… they could have made a mistake…" she said trying to comfort the young girl. Alex suddenly slammed on the breaks. "What is going on!" she yelled as the car swerved dangerously. Serena looked over the seats and gasped in horror as they neared the large crater in the road. They slid to a stop in front of the crater. "What happened here?" whispered Serena staring at the large crater in the road. She gripped her broach in one hand before stepping carefully into the mass of rock and dirt. She reached the bottom of the crater and looked down into it. She gasped and backed away as a huge column of violet light shot down from the sky above and quickly engulfed the circle that the crater made. She, Alexandra, and Michelle were floating in the beam of light until they reached the clouds in which they were promptly knocked unconscious.
