Author: This story just came to me while I was staring at the ceiling. I had to write it down. I think this one is pretty awesome. It's a crossover. I won't tell you what it's crossing with. That would totally spoil the surprise! Can't do that! ** WARNING ** I kinda modified characters and such to fit the story. Rini isn't there (she's gone home for a while). And the Outers ARE around. Just not sure where. I'm gonna just say it's right after the Dark Circus/Pegasus episodes, okay? Well, that about covers it! Please R&R. I LOVE reviews! And they definitely help motivate. Oh, gotta warn ya, it is kinda serious. But there is some humor, especially in later chapters. Bunny, if you read this, I'm soooo sowy it isn't funny. The first two chapters aren't exactly original. In fact, I've seen very similar beginnings in several stories. Probably how I came up with my starting pieces. But by the third chapter, it is totally unique. The rating might go up in some chapters. Bad language, ya know! And I'm using the North American Dub names 'cause that's what I know. Sorry! Don't hurt me!

***At the Park***
Serena wandered through the park, admiring its peacefulness and beauty. "Why," she whispered, "can't there be more days like this?" Her thoughts were interrupted by a giggle from the forest. She listened and heard more giggles, accompanied by soft moans. Serena smiled, 'I don't believe this! Someone's totally making out in the trees! Man, the girls are gonna freak when they find out about this one…'
Her curiosity in control now, Serena crept towards the unsuspecting tonsil-hockey participants. She tiptoed around several trees then dropped to her knees and began crawling towards the sounds. As she peeked around a bush, her eyes fell on the noisy couple. Serena froze; if she weren't already on all fours, she would have collapsed. In front of her was Raye and… Darien?! Serena closed her eyes, counted to ten, then looked again. Nope. They were still there. Darien's hand was now under Raye's shirt. 'That bastard! He never went that far with me…' Serena thought. Running on autopilot now, Serena quickly and silently left the park and headed home; a single tear sliding down her cheek.
***
It was time for the daily Scout meeting and, for once, Serena was on time. But that wasn't what worried the others. Something about Serena was wrong. The expression on her face, the look in her eyes… Everyone but the Outer Scouts were at the meeting. Finally Raye turned to Serena, "What's wrong with you?!"
Serena blinked. "Oh. It's nothing, Raye. Just that I saw you and Darien making out in the park this morning." Everyone froze at this announcement. Darien was looking incredibly guilty and uncomfortable.
Mina sighed, "Oh, Serena…"
Artemis turned on her. "You mean you knew? And you didn't do or say anything?!"
"We all knew," Lita revealed. This brought on a long tirade from Luna. None of then had ever heard her use that kind of language before. When she finally paused to take a breath, Serena interrupted.
"You are no longer worthy to be Sailor Scouts," she declared.
Raye laughed at her. "Oh, really? Well what are you gonna do about it, Bitch? I mean, you're just a loud-mouthed, whiny meatball-head! No wonder Darien came to me…"
"Enough!" Serena shouted. She stood and glared around the room. "This simply confirms your inability. I have no choice but to revoke your powers." Serena reached for her brooch and was surrounded by a brilliant white light. When the glow subsided, Princess Serenity stood there. She held the shimmering Silver Crystal near her chest.
"Whatever," Darien muttered. "You can't do anything to me. I'm outta here." Darien started for the door, but only made it a few steps before he was stopped by an invisible force. "What the hell!"
"You are wrong, Darien," Serenity told him. "Prince of Earth, though you may be, Tuxedo Mask no longer."
Darien felt as if a hook had grabbed his internal organs and yanked. He fell to his knees as a beam of golden light shot from his chest to the Crystal. Instinct told him to transform, but Darien found that he couldn't. His powers had been stripped.
Serenity turned back to the scouts. "Now it is your turn." Four beams shot out at the Scouts. Each let out a short cry as they fell to the floor. They had fainted from the shock of what had just happened. With another flash, Serena was back to her old self. "I'm sorry, but it was necessary," she explained to Luna and Artemis. Serena then turned and left the temple, perhaps, forever…?
