Author's Notes:
Sorry for the delay, but I was unhappy with this chapter. I knew what I wanted to do, but I could not put it into words. And when I did, the whole chapter came out all wrong. Well, I'm going to try this again. Hopefully this will be better the second time around.
This is a crossover fiction between two boy bands and Sailor Moon, I am thinking about adding a third boy band into the mix but the results of that line of thought is pending at best.
Disclaimers:
I do not, will not own anything pertaining to Sailor Moon at all in my lifetime. They belong to Naoko Takeuchi.
I do not, own, know, or have anything dealing with all featured boy bands in this story. They belong to their respective boy band members and managers. Any lyrics of their songs found in this piece also belong to the corresponding boy band.
However, the girl, villain, and any song lyrics that are not recognizable with any lyrics of the boy bands do belong to me, and me alone.
The story itself is also of my own imagination.

Chapter Two part a - The Heart Knows
"Thank you sir, so that is one suite that is interconnected to yours. Am I correct?" The lady behind the hotel counter asked JC. She had honey blond hair that she pulled back into a tight bun and hazel-gray eyes that seemed to be poring into JC.
JC lowered his eyes, he hated that look, the look that girls always seem to try to use on him and his friends, trying to catch their attention. That 'lovey-dovey' look that they always give him in a futile attempt to get one of the N'Syncers to possibly fall in love with them.
Justin, who was standing next to JC, was watching the whole interlude between the lady and JC with disinterested eyes. He wanted to talk to JC about the girl away from their friends, and was in shock when JC suggested that they get a separate room for the girl.
Justin thought back to earlier...
***** START FLASHBACK *****
JC got into their hotel room first with the still unconscious girl in his arms. And walked over to his bed and laid her upon it. The entire trip to their hotel he could not help but wonder about the girl. He thought about how beautiful her eyes must be, her smile. He hoped that she was a singer too, possibly a soprano, then they could do marvelous duets together. He enjoyed that possibility best.
Justin walked into the room right after JC and plopped himself on his bed. Chris, Joey and Lance were in the room right across the hall. Though this room had an interconnecting door, somehow they were not able to have interconnecting rooms.
Justin turned his tired head towards the direction of JC's bed, he was careful to keep his eyes closed to keep the appearance of being really tired. JC looked at where Justin was laying down and chided him gently, "Come on Justin, you don't have to be discreet with me. Go ahead and watch, I don't care."
Justin used his fingers and brushed through his curly, thick hair. His blue eyes shone in questions as he watched the tenderness that JC displayed to the girl that lay upon the bed. Justin thought about later tonight, should the girl not awaken early enough for her to leave, where would JC sleep? "Hey, umm, JC."
At JC's slight nod Justin continued, "You know, where are you going to sleep tonight... I mean, she may or may not..." Justin bit his lip, he did not know how in the world he would talk to his best friend about this.
JC's deep blue eyes rose to look at his friend's pale blue, "I--I don't know Curly. Maybe we should get a room just incase something..." JC did not want to finish the sentence; the thought was already bad in itself. "Hey, you wanna come with me to get an extra room?"
Justin moaned rather loudly and pulled himself out of bed, making it seem more like work than it really was. In truth Justin was really pleased that JC asked him to join him, of all of them, Justin looked to JC as an older brother kind of figure.
***** END FLASHBACK ******
Justin suddenly realized that JC had left the counter and that the lady had transferred her attentions to the faraway N'Syncer. Fluttering her eyes she mouthed, "Call me" and continued on to her work giving Justin glances every now and then.
Justin inwardly cringed and gave a small wave to the hazel eyed lady, and quickly walked to where JC was, waiting patiently for the elevator to reached the lobby level.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mari slept soundly amidst the covers and blankets that surrounded her as she dreamt about the dream that she had earlier that day.
***** START DREAM *****
Mari looked around herself and strove to keep her mouth from opening up in shock. The only thought that was going through her mind Indeed it was, she was standing upon a marble balcony that was overlooking the palace gardens, though she did not know it at that very moment for she was too enthralled with the décor of the veranda before her.
The terrace was made almost entirely in silver and white marble. With gold and ebony streaks going through it, the curtains were held high and were attached to the ceilings.
The hallway had many paintings upon it's walls, a few that she recognized to be planets of the solar system.
Mari turned around and gasped in astonishment at the lush garden before her. The warm tones of the color spectrum filled the soils with many blossoms and buds. In the center of the garden stood marbleized tri-level fountain complete with running water that cascaded down the levels.
Mari felt her body warm with the environment around her and realized that she was not alone in her dream. Across the garden stood the silhouette of a man, tall, muscular, proud. was all that she could comprehend from the vision. She smiled as her subconscious recognized the outline, but for the life of Mari, her consciousness could not place the name.
Before she could take a step towards the young gentlemen her world changed suddenly and mists surrounded her, she tried to reach out to find some support, but her hand grasped only air. Instead she walked slowly forward feeling each step before pressing her foot down. But her last step proved false as she started to fall into the all-encompassing darkness.
***** END DREAM *****
Mari woke up with a start, she was breathing heavily, her heart racing; she took several long minutes calming down her nerves. So preoccupied she was to her own well being she did not comprehend her surroundings nor the other figure that sat in a chair in the shadows.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
JC looked up when the girl woke up unexpectedly, he just laid her down upon the bed in her adjoining room only less than a half hour before. He had originally planned on setting her down, leaving a note regarding the situation, and then retreating back to his own room to catch up with the other guys. He knew that he had a lot of explaining to do with his actions the past few hours, but while his consciousness had yet to catch up, his heart and subconscious knew exactly what was going on. It was going to take a lot of time to really understand why JC had reacted the way he did.
JC couldn't leave her side, not quite yet. He had questions and he wanted them answered, and he wanted to get to know her more. He wanted to learn everything about her and more, become her friend, her confidante,... her boyfriend,... her lover JC's imagination was throwing a whirlwind of ideas at him, and he was weak to question their purpose.
JC had decided to sit by her bedside and hold a quite vigil over her, incase something happens. A note would not suffice, for it was too impersonal, no this was a personal matter that he could only take part in. So when she awoke suddenly he was surprised at her sudden movement after watching her motionless body for about thirty minutes.
He resisted the overwhelming urge to jump up and take his arms around her body, holding her, keeping her close to him. Instead he opted to stay in the shadows as she calmed down and took in the environment around her.
Mari, by this time, had swung her legs over the bed opposite from where JC was sitting, and with her back to him attempted to remember what had happened. "How did I come here?" Mari whispered to herself, her throat she noticed was hoarse. She stood up, steadying herself slightly, for she was still suffering from nausea and dizziness.
Slowly she walked towards the sink and poured herself a cold cup of water. After taking a sip she looked at herself in the mirror, still oblivious to the figure in the shadows, and looked at her haggard appearance. Taking a cloth she wiped her face clean from impurities and attempted to wake up as well.
Mari looked at the mirror again, she squinted at the mirror again, trying to find the object of her attention. She turned around slowly and walked towards the bed, she stayed silent as possible trying to hear for any sounds that seemed out of the ordinary.
She reached the bedside and stared into the darkness, she knew someone was there, but it pitched black in the room that there was no way to be sure.
JC for his part, was unsure as to reveal himself or not. For a log moment no one talked, the only sound that penetrated the death silence was their breathing. Their eyes seemingly locked in place as golden brown eyes met deep blue one reading into the other searching deep into their soul, and sensing a strange remembrance or connection.
Mari opted to be the one to break into the silence as images of her day while walking through the streets of New York flowed through her mind. "I do not know who you are, but I believe I have you to thank for what had happened to me earlier. Please will you show yourself so that I may thank you properly."
JC was astounded by the request, he was unsure if he should reveal himself quite yet, but seeing the eyes of the girl he spoke up, "I will do as you ask me to, however I have a request to ask of you. Please, I beg of you, do not scream or faint should you see me."
Mari was confused by the strange request, but sensing the pleading in his voice she gave her ascent. She watched through wary eyes as she saw the figure slowly come from the darkness and indeed had it not been for the request she would have swooned. Mari could not finish the sentence, she tried to focus on the figure as he approached her slowly, cautiously.
Finally he was standing there in front of her, looking down with those deep blue eyes, though they were not touching, Mari felt a connection and a warmth running through her veins. Her breathing became shallower, huskier as she took in the fit masculine body in front of her. Her voice betraying her rushing emotions she attempted to speak, "I... I just wanted to thank you for whatever it was that you did today. I do not know what you did, but I thank you all the same."
His lips, just barely smiling before, curved up a little as his hands itched to caress her cheeks, "It was my pleasure, I only did what I thought was right. It was fortunate that I was there when I was."
Mari only nodded, her legs started to lose their strength and balance, and she swayed slightly backwards. She closed her eyes for what she was certain to be an impact with the ground, but felt herself being propped by a pair of arms, namely JC's.
Opening her eyes, not realizing the emotion in there, she smiled before her nausea came back to her and her eyes closed as she gave in to the enveloping darkness.
JC caught her eyes, the irises became just a shade darker, a little more lustful, and that brought his imagination into overload. Before he was able to react with that emotion she fell limply in his arms, He lifted the girl again and laid her once again upon the bed.
Leaning down upon the slumbering figure he placed a butterfly kiss upon her forehead, "I love you, my mysterious angel." His finger brushed her cheek as she reacted to the touch and smiled. Still her eyes closed and breathing softly.
JC tore himself away from the girl and walked towards the interconnecting door that led to his room. He knew the other guys would want all the details, but even he did not know what was going on. He slowly opened the door and gave a final look at the slumbering girl and walked into his room, shutting the door behind him. Never hearing the words that she spoke while she was only half-awake, "I love you too, my prince, I love you too."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In an outer dimension...
A figure stood before a backdrop of swirling mists. She watched the entire interlude before her and smiled as she brushed a strand of tinted green hair away from her maroon eyes. Her lips curled slightly at the thought.
The woman's smile suddenly disappeared.
Changing her focus from the hotel room she spread the gaze toward the outskirts of the city. her focus fell upon a small house in a small town, she knew that was where the rest of the guards from Euphonia would be. Looking in she realized that her closest friend and confidant from that time was also residing in that home. I wonder how he is she shook her head, she was never involved with anyone, least of all him. She knew he was engaged to another before the war, she was the one that he had came for advice on the matter.
Looking deeper into the home, she noticed a pair of blond men talking to one another away from the group, she shook her head at the familiarity of the situation.
Realizing that she was prying into the private lives of her friends she quickly made the picture disappear. Not before noticing the others in the quintet.
Pluto, realizing that something was a miss she looked at the quintet at the hotel room and the quintet in the home again this time paying closer attention to the members of both groups.
Taking the time to look carefully at the matter she realized that the two brothers in question were not within either of the two groups.
Brushing the picture aside she opened a portal headed for Tokyo and left the timeless dimension to give her report to her future queen. Hoping that there will not be anything that would cause for a delay.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In that small house...
It was the late afternoon, and all the Boys were refreshed from their afternoon nap. They all needed that nap and it was exactly what the doctor prescribed.
The two blonds in the group stood a ways away from the rest of the band, deep in discussion about a dream that the elder had during his afternoon nap. Though he would not show it, the dream was disturbing to say the least.
"So I was standing here in this garden, music coming from the hills. It was so foggy that I couldn't see much farther than two feet in front of me. All of a sudden there was this female wearing a long gown, the sunlight radiated from her like a glowing aura of some sort. Her hair was very long."
The younger one laughed, "Hey watch it Bri, or your fiancée would get jealous of your talking about some dream girl."
Brian smiled, He continued, "But I swear Nick, this girl, I didn't feel anything towards her but respect. But gods, she was beautiful."
Nick looked up, "Wait a minute I thought you said that you only saw an outline of her and what she was wearing."
"For a while, after a while the fog started to lift and I saw her a little better. But then there was laughter in the distance. Like water over a brook. Something that I once knew but didn't." Brian thought back to the dream, he remembered the first girl, it was someone that he had nothing but the utmost respect towards her. However the second girl, was a little different, golden blond hair down to the waist, golden bow on top of her head. Normally a bow on a girl's hair would be childish and youthful, but with her, it was perfect, it emphasized her gentler qualities.
Nick was paying little attention to his best friend, he too had a strange dream, but it involved a short dark purple almost black haired girl. She had a very serious demeanor, but he felt happy with her, not in the couple sense but best friends. "You know Frick, you're probably not the only one getting strange dreams."
Brian looked up at Nick's response, out of everything he had expected Nick to say, THAT was last on his list. "What do you mean Frack? My dreams were out of this world and you know it."
"Well if you say that you are crazy, then I am just as crazy as you."
Brian took a breath Brian nodded, "Okay Frack, shoot."
Nick looked up, "For real, man?"
"Yeah, I mean, I told you mine, now tell me yours." The two sat down at the chairs close by, apparent that they were tired of standing.
Nick took a deep breath, "Well there was this girl, deep purple eyes, and very serious. But, when she saw me, I don't know man, she smiled. All that seriousness just melted away like ice on a hot summer day. But I didn't like her like that, I felt sorry for her about something. I don't know why."
"Whoa, that's deep. Did you get a good look at her face?"
Nick shook his head, "No not really anymore, I mean I somehow knew her when I was there, but now when I think about it, I just know bits and pieces." Nick thought again, "She was a ways shorter than me though, but it was okay, I mean, we were friends as far as I know. And her eyes, deep purple, not the bluish red, but the reddish blue, those were special, her hair matched, even if a darker tint."
Brian nodded, Unbeknownst to either of them, another member of their group walked up to them and heard a bit of what the younger blond had said. His thoughts were to that dream he had, but he decided to leave it be for now. Heaven knows that he stayed up trying to think it through. So he won't think about it now.
Nick looked up to the newcomer, "Hey Kev, how long have you been standing there?"
The tall dark man looked down at the two blonds, "Hey Nick, hey cuz, I'm just here to remind you that we still have songs to pick out for that album, not to mention think of a title. I was here long enough to hear your dream."
Nick blushed a crimson red, "So what? Am I crazy?"
Kevin shook his head, "Nope, it's healthy, now come on, we got work to do."
The two blonds looked at each other and raised an eyebrow, Nick mouthed, 'Healthy?' And the two of them worked hard to hold in a fit of laughter.
Meanwhile Kevin was walking towards the other members of the group, thinking about Nick's confession of a dream, He walked towards the back patio where he knew that the other two would be hanging out. Before continuing outdoors he thought back to the tall, dark, female in his dream.
With these questions, he walked out of the house and continued on to the backyard to summon the rest of the group.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In Tokyo...
Pluto stepped out of the portal, her key staff in hand and her civilian splendor in place. She looked around the temple as she noticed that both the inner and the outer senshi were in attendance. The prince and princess were also there as well as the royal advisors.
She had debated whether or not she should tell them about Euphonia, however, time was of the essence, and they needed to know more about that musical planet should the evil spirit that destroyed it before the Moon Kingdom was destroyed, come back from the ashes.
The girl with silver blond hair, looked up at the late-comer, "Konnichiwa Setsuna-san, I suppose that the space time dimension has not had any fluctuations?"
The elder woman smiled, "None, Your Highness." The princess had matured a lot since her first few years as a senshi. Although every now and then her ditzy self would come out, over all she mature to the point that she was almost princess-like as her past life had once been.
The girl's best friend however feigned shock, "Oh my goodness, Usagi, you're becoming serious, are you running a fever?"
Their traditional tongue war followed as well as a few talkbacks here and there, but all in all, it was playful fun.
Sitting on the couch with their aqua-haired girlfriend by her side was a tall sandy blond figure, their features were more or less considered male, in truth the figure was not as people assumed.
The tall sandy blond figure clear their throat, "Usagi, we were called for a senshi meeting." After the mini dispute quickly ended the sandy blond focused their attention towards their closest friend. "Tell me Setsuna, why were we called here?"
Setsuna sat down at the chair perpendicular to the couch and looked at the couple. "I asked you to come so that I may talk to all of you about a planet that was part of the Silver Alliance, Euphonia."
The aqua-haired woman looked up at the name, "Haruka," she told her girlfriend, "doesn't euphonium mean music?"
The sandy blond woman smiled, "Yes it does, Euphonia, does ring a bell."
"Euphonia is a planet that is part of the Andromeda system. According to my computer, it was considered the Planet of Music. Most of the best instrumentalists and vocalists were from that planet." The blue haired girl replied, looking from her light blue palmtop, that had a golden symbol of Mercury upon it, she blushed at the varied shocked expressions upon her friends, "I just pulled up the information about the planet from the Main Lunar computer."
Setsuna smiled at the younger girl, "Yes you are right Ami-chan. Euphonia was the Planet of Music. The best violinist from the planet taught the Princess of Neptune the instrument. To the point where she could excel even more on her own."
Michiru blushed slightly at the cryptic compliment, "I remember a little about that, many of the other members of the planets thought I was from Euphonia and had made a home on Neptune."
Setsuna nodded, "Anyway, Euphonia was part of the Silver Alliance as well, and they were to protect this system and the keeper of the Silver Crystal as well. The Prince of Euphonia came to the Moon Kingdom to fight Beryl, he too died that day."
Usagi looked up, "he died? Could he have been reincarnated like the rest of us?"
"He was reincarnated, along with most of his guardians. I don't know exactly where they are, but they are not in Japan."
The youngest of the group spoke up, "So could they have been reincarnated in a different country? Perhaps the United States? Or Europe."
"They have been reincarnated, and in the states little one." Setsuna provided discretely
The golden blond girl in the group, with her hair pulled up with a bright red bow provided a possibility, "It would be difficult to find them though. America is a rather large country with an even larger population, the diversity there is infinite, it would almost be like finding a toothpick in a pile of straw."
The white feline that sat close by sighed, "Minako," he admonished, "it's a needle in a haystack."
Minako waved her hand, "Aww Artemis, you know what I mean. Don't be such a pole in a swamp."
The white cat just sighed again his companion answered, "That's stick in the mud, Minako." The black cat answered, yawning it stretched it's paws causing her charge to go into a fit of giggles.
"Oh Luna, you're so cute when you do that."
The rest of the girls soon joined Usagi in teasing the now blushing felines. The outers giggled and shook their heads when it became apparent that the meeting is now adjourned.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the hotel...
JC was lying on his bed, his arms pulled up behind his head as he stared at the ceiling. The rest of the band were scattered throughout the room, resting up for the concert tomorrow. They were given the chance to enjoy themselves for the rest of the day, just as long as they didn't bump into any trouble.
Justin sat on his bed watching a bit of television, Lance sitting on the foot of that bed as well. The two blondes carelessly watching the tv set bored, and tired.
The final two members of the groups sat in chairs also watching tv, but they too were half awake, they needed a nap and desperately.
"Hey you guys, let's take a nap and then drive around town tonight?" Chris said, his hair spiked up and color tipped in red.
Lance looked up at Joey with tired hazel eyes, "Yeah I'm all for that one. Let's get back to out hotel room." Looking at JC on the bed, "Hey man, I hope things work out for you and that girl, she seems pretty nice, but then she was sleeping the entire time I saw her."
JC looked up at his friend, "Yeah thanks man, see you later?"
"You betcha." Joey and Lance left the room, and Chris stood up he stretched and pulled out a loud yawn, "Well I'm turning in, hope you guys get some sleep, and Curly." Justin looked up at the nickname, "You turn off that magic box and get some sleep, 'kay? We got a concert tomorrow and we're going around tonight after naps, so sleep soon so we get going sooner."
Justin laughed, "Yeah I gotcha." Turning off the screen he jumped under the covers, "There I'm in, you wanna read me a bedtime story?"
Chris laughed, "Save that for your mother when we get back to Orlando, see ya!" Chris closed the door leaving Justin and JC behind. Justin closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but his mind was just too wound up. Looking to his left he spotted JC staring up at the ceiling, deep in thought.
Sensing that someone was looking JC looked to his right and found his best friend staring at him, "What?"
Justin shook his head, "Nothing Jace, just wondering, what's so special about her?"
JC tried to feigned confusion, "What do you mean?"
Justin propped his head up with his elbow, "You know exactly what I mean, you saw her for less than a minute and suddenly she's there in the next room sleeping soundly. That can be considered as strange in my book." Justin pointed towards the interconnecting door for emphasis.
JC shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know Justin, I mean, I just feel right about her, she is like, 'the one' you know? It's just something that I can't really describe, just looking at her makes me want to hold her. She's special Justin that's all I know."
Justin smiled, "Yeah I know, it's kind of like me and Britney, I didn't know it at the time, but it was just kind of there. I mean, she's great even since our mousey days she was cute, she's cute now but more of a womanly cute, you know what I mean?"
JC laughed, "Yeah I know what you mean. She's just something else."
Justin looked at the man that he had look up to as a stable older brother kind of figure, he liked that feeling, these discussions were what he had always liked, and that helped him to understand himself more and more.
Lying back on the bed he closed his eyes and allowed sleep to takeover him as he rested after a long workout earlier that day.
JC for his part also fell asleep, dreaming peacefully about the girl in the next room, wearing a gown of golden light, and a smile that could melt the iciest of hearts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Few hours later...
Mari woke up from her deep sleep and took a look in her surroundings, Mari slowly climbed out of bed and walked to the mirror in the bathroom, after taking a moment to double check her appearance she left the bathroom and glanced around the room.
She noticed the two doors in the hotel suite, one, she knew led to the outside hallway, however there was another door that she had no idea where it led to. Instead of leaving the door be, her curiosity over took her common sense as she walked slowly towards the door. Gripping the handle she pressed one ear into the door and listened to any strange sounds.
Hearing none she weighed her options, she could either walk through the door or leave the hotel altogether. Her mind telling her to go with the latter choice, she followed her heart and opened the door...

Author's Notes:
*Looks up* Wow, twelve pages, amazing. I knew this would be long considering that I was working on the other people as well. Who knew? Hope you liked this chapter part it is a bit more detailed with the other groups.
Oh and as a precursor, the boys from the bands will be FRIENDS to the senshi, since the senshi were supposedly engaged to the generals at the time (manga based). Thus allowing the band members to keep their girlfriends, fiancées, or wives. I have some ideas on how to put those females into the picture. :-) (By the way, many thanks to Tygerwind8 for giving me that idea like last year when I posted this up to see what people think.)
As for the two brothers... well I had every intention on bringing them in this chapter but I thought, why? Let's anti-up the suspense knob a bit and *poof* time for you to guess who are lucky enough to enter this crossover ficcie. You'll find out in the next chapter, or maybe the chapter after that. Bwa ha ha ha ha!
Hope you like this part, more to come soon. I will post Chapter 2 part b as soon as I finished it, Chapter 2 was getting too long for my tastes and I was getting super anxious so... part 2a is here. Chapter 3 and 4 are being started now, though 4 is further down the road than 3...

Mari slept soundly amidst the covers and blankets that surrounded her as she dreamt about the dream that she had earlier that day.
***** START DREAM *****
Mari looked around herself and strove to keep her mouth from opening up in shock. The only thought that was going through her mind Indeed it was, she was standing upon a marble balcony that was overlooking the palace gardens, though she did not know it at that very moment for she was too enthralled with the décor of the veranda before her.

Mari felt her body warm with the environment around her and realized that she was not alone in her dream. Across the garden stood the silhouette of a man, tall, muscular, proud. was all that she could comprehend from the vision. She smiled as her subconscious recognized the outline, but for the life of Mari, her consciousness could not place the name.
Before she could take a step towards the young gentlemen her world changed suddenly and mists surrounded her, she tried to reach out to find some support, but her hand grasped only air. Instead she walked slowly forward feeling each step before pressing her foot down. But her last step proved false as she started to fall into the all-encompassing darkness.
***** END DREAM *****
Mari woke up with a start, she was breathing heavily, her heart racing; she took several long minutes calming down her nerves. So preoccupied she was to her own well being she did not comprehend her surroundings nor the other figure that sat in a chair in the shadows.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
JC looked up when the girl woke up unexpectedly, he just laid her down upon the bed in her adjoining room only less than a half hour before. He had originally planned on setting her down, leaving a note regarding the situation, and then retreating back to his own room to catch up with the other guys. He knew that he had a lot of explaining to do with his actions the past few hours, but while his consciousness had yet to catch up, his heart and subconscious knew exactly what was going on. It was going to take a lot of time to really understand why JC had reacted the way he did.
JC couldn't leave her side, not quite yet. He had questions and he wanted them answered, and he wanted to get to know her more. He wanted to learn everything about her and more, become her friend, her confidante,... her boyfriend,... her lover JC's imagination was throwing a whirlwind of ideas at him, and he was weak to question their purpose.
JC had decided to sit by her bedside and hold a quite vigil over her, incase something happens. A note would not suffice, for it was too impersonal, no this was a personal matter that he could only take part in. So when she awoke suddenly he was surprised at her sudden movement after watching her motionless body for about thirty minutes.
He resisted the overwhelming urge to jump up and take his arms around her body, holding her, keeping her close to him. Instead he opted to stay in the shadows as she calmed down and took in the environment around her.
Mari, by this time, had swung her legs over the bed opposite from where JC was sitting, and with her back to him attempted to remember what had happened. "How did I come here?" Mari whispered to herself, her throat she noticed was hoarse. She stood up, steadying herself slightly, for she was still suffering from nausea and dizziness.
Slowly she walked towards the sink and poured herself a cold cup of water. After taking a sip she looked at herself in the mirror, still oblivious to the figure in the shadows, and looked at her haggard appearance. Taking a cloth she wiped her face clean from impurities and attempted to wake up as well.
Mari looked at the mirror again, she squinted at the mirror again, trying to find the object of her attention. She turned around slowly and walked towards the bed, she stayed silent as possible trying to hear for any sounds that seemed out of the ordinary.
She reached the bedside and stared into the darkness, she knew someone was there, but it pitched black in the room that there was no way to be sure.
JC for his part, was unsure as to reveal himself or not. For a log moment no one talked, the only sound that penetrated the death silence was their breathing. Their eyes seemingly locked in place as golden brown eyes met deep blue one reading into the other searching deep into their soul, and sensing a strange remembrance or connection.
Mari opted to be the one to break into the silence as images of her day while walking through the streets of New York flowed through her mind. "I do not know who you are, but I believe I have you to thank for what had happened to me earlier. Please will you show yourself so that I may thank you properly."
JC was astounded by the request, he was unsure if he should reveal himself quite yet, but seeing the eyes of the girl he spoke up, "I will do as you ask me to, however I have a request to ask of you. Please, I beg of you, do not scream or faint should you see me."
Mari was confused by the strange request, but sensing the pleading in his voice she gave her ascent. She watched through wary eyes as she saw the figure slowly come from the darkness and indeed had it not been for the request she would have swooned. Mari could not finish the sentence, she tried to focus on the figure as he approached her slowly, cautiously.
Finally he was standing there in front of her, looking down with those deep blue eyes, though they were not touching, Mari felt a connection and a warmth running through her veins. Her breathing became shallower, huskier as she took in the fit masculine body in front of her. Her voice betraying her rushing emotions she attempted to speak, "I... I just wanted to thank you for whatever it was that you did today. I do not know what you did, but I thank you all the same."
His lips, just barely smiling before, curved up a little as his hands itched to caress her cheeks, "It was my pleasure, I only did what I thought was right. It was fortunate that I was there when I was."
Mari only nodded, her legs started to lose their strength and balance, and she swayed slightly backwards. She closed her eyes for what she was certain to be an impact with the ground, but felt herself being propped by a pair of arms, namely JC's.
Opening her eyes, not realizing the emotion in there, she smiled before her nausea came back to her and her eyes closed as she gave in to the enveloping darkness.
JC caught her eyes, the irises became just a shade darker, a little more lustful, and that brought his imagination into overload. Before he was able to react with that emotion she fell limply in his arms, He lifted the girl again and laid her once again upon the bed.
Leaning down upon the slumbering figure he placed a butterfly kiss upon her forehead, "I love you, my mysterious angel." His finger brushed her cheek as she reacted to the touch and smiled. Still her eyes closed and breathing softly.
JC tore himself away from the girl and walked towards the interconnecting door that led to his room. He knew the other guys would want all the details, but even he did not know what was going on. He slowly opened the door and gave a final look at the slumbering girl and walked into his room, shutting the door behind him. Never hearing the words that she spoke while she was only half-awake, "I love you too, my prince, I love you too."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In an outer dimension...
A figure stood before a backdrop of swirling mists. She watched the entire interlude before her and smiled as she brushed a strand of tinted green hair away from her maroon eyes. Her lips curled slightly at the thought.
The woman's smile suddenly disappeared.
Changing her focus from the hotel room she spread the gaze toward the outskirts of the city. her focus fell upon a small house in a small town, she knew that was where the rest of the guards from Euphonia would be. Looking in she realized that her closest friend and confidant from that time was also residing in that home. I wonder how he is she shook her head, she was never involved with anyone, least of all him. She knew he was engaged to another before the war, she was the one that he had came for advice on the matter.
Looking deeper into the home, she noticed a pair of blond men talking to one another away from the group, she shook her head at the familiarity of the situation.
Realizing that she was prying into the private lives of her friends she quickly made the picture disappear. Not before noticing the others in the quintet.
Pluto, realizing that something was a miss she looked at the quintet at the hotel room and the quintet in the home again this time paying closer attention to the members of both groups.
Taking the time to look carefully at the matter she realized that the two brothers in question were not within either of the two groups.
Brushing the picture aside she opened a portal headed for Tokyo and left the timeless dimension to give her report to her future queen. Hoping that there will not be anything that would cause for a delay.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In that small house...
It was the late afternoon, and all the Boys were refreshed from their afternoon nap. They all needed that nap and it was exactly what the doctor prescribed.
The two blonds in the group stood a ways away from the rest of the band, deep in discussion about a dream that the elder had during his afternoon nap. Though he would not show it, the dream was disturbing to say the least.
"So I was standing here in this garden, music coming from the hills. It was so foggy that I couldn't see much farther than two feet in front of me. All of a sudden there was this female wearing a long gown, the sunlight radiated from her like a glowing aura of some sort. Her hair was very long."
The younger one laughed, "Hey watch it Bri, or your fiancée would get jealous of your talking about some dream girl."
Brian smiled, He continued, "But I swear Nick, this girl, I didn't feel anything towards her but respect. But gods, she was beautiful."
Nick looked up, "Wait a minute I thought you said that you only saw an outline of her and what she was wearing."
"For a while, after a while the fog started to lift and I saw her a little better. But then there was laughter in the distance. Like water over a brook. Something that I once knew but didn't." Brian thought back to the dream, he remembered the first girl, it was someone that he had nothing but the utmost respect towards her. However the second girl, was a little different, golden blond hair down to the waist, golden bow on top of her head. Normally a bow on a girl's hair would be childish and youthful, but with her, it was perfect, it emphasized her gentler qualities.
Nick was paying little attention to his best friend, he too had a strange dream, but it involved a short dark purple almost black haired girl. She had a very serious demeanor, but he felt happy with her, not in the couple sense but best friends. "You know Frick, you're probably not the only one getting strange dreams."
Brian looked up at Nick's response, out of everything he had expected Nick to say, THAT was last on his list. "What do you mean Frack? My dreams were out of this world and you know it."
"Well if you say that you are crazy, then I am just as crazy as you."
Brian took a breath Brian nodded, "Okay Frack, shoot."
Nick looked up, "For real, man?"
"Yeah, I mean, I told you mine, now tell me yours." The two sat down at the chairs close by, apparent that they were tired of standing.
Nick took a deep breath, "Well there was this girl, deep purple eyes, and very serious. But, when she saw me, I don't know man, she smiled. All that seriousness just melted away like ice on a hot summer day. But I didn't like her like that, I felt sorry for her about something. I don't know why."
"Whoa, that's deep. Did you get a good look at her face?"
Nick shook his head, "No not really anymore, I mean I somehow knew her when I was there, but now when I think about it, I just know bits and pieces." Nick thought again, "She was a ways shorter than me though, but it was okay, I mean, we were friends as far as I know. And her eyes, deep purple, not the bluish red, but the reddish blue, those were special, her hair matched, even if a darker tint."
Brian nodded, Unbeknownst to either of them, another member of their group walked up to them and heard a bit of what the younger blond had said. His thoughts were to that dream he had, but he decided to leave it be for now. Heaven knows that he stayed up trying to think it through. So he won't think about it now.
Nick looked up to the newcomer, "Hey Kev, how long have you been standing there?"
The tall dark man looked down at the two blonds, "Hey Nick, hey cuz, I'm just here to remind you that we still have songs to pick out for that album, not to mention think of a title. I was here long enough to hear your dream."
Nick blushed a crimson red, "So what? Am I crazy?"
Kevin shook his head, "Nope, it's healthy, now come on, we got work to do."
The two blonds looked at each other and raised an eyebrow, Nick mouthed, 'Healthy?' And the two of them worked hard to hold in a fit of laughter.
Meanwhile Kevin was walking towards the other members of the group, thinking about Nick's confession of a dream, He walked towards the back patio where he knew that the other two would be hanging out. Before continuing outdoors he thought back to the tall, dark, female in his dream.
With these questions, he walked out of the house and continued on to the backyard to summon the rest of the group.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In Tokyo...
Pluto stepped out of the portal, her key staff in hand and her civilian splendor in place. She looked around the temple as she noticed that both the inner and the outer senshi were in attendance. The prince and princess were also there as well as the royal advisors.
She had debated whether or not she should tell them about Euphonia, however, time was of the essence, and they needed to know more about that musical planet should the evil spirit that destroyed it before the Moon Kingdom was destroyed, come back from the ashes.
The girl with silver blond hair, looked up at the late-comer, "Konnichiwa Setsuna-san, I suppose that the space time dimension has not had any fluctuations?"
The elder woman smiled, "None, Your Highness." The princess had matured a lot since her first few years as a senshi. Although every now and then her ditzy self would come out, over all she mature to the point that she was almost princess-like as her past life had once been.
The girl's best friend however feigned shock, "Oh my goodness, Usagi, you're becoming serious, are you running a fever?"
Their traditional tongue war followed as well as a few talkbacks here and there, but all in all, it was playful fun.
Sitting on the couch with their aqua-haired girlfriend by her side was a tall sandy blond figure, their features were more or less considered male, in truth the figure was not as people assumed.
The tall sandy blond figure clear their throat, "Usagi, we were called for a senshi meeting." After the mini dispute quickly ended the sandy blond focused their attention towards their closest friend. "Tell me Setsuna, why were we called here?"
Setsuna sat down at the chair perpendicular to the couch and looked at the couple. "I asked you to come so that I may talk to all of you about a planet that was part of the Silver Alliance, Euphonia."
The aqua-haired woman looked up at the name, "Haruka," she told her girlfriend, "doesn't euphonium mean music?"
The sandy blond woman smiled, "Yes it does, Euphonia, does ring a bell."
"Euphonia is a planet that is part of the Andromeda system. According to my computer, it was considered the Planet of Music. Most of the best instrumentalists and vocalists were from that planet." The blue haired girl replied, looking from her light blue palmtop, that had a golden symbol of Mercury upon it, she blushed at the varied shocked expressions upon her friends, "I just pulled up the information about the planet from the Main Lunar computer."
Setsuna smiled at the younger girl, "Yes you are right Ami-chan. Euphonia was the Planet of Music. The best violinist from the planet taught the Princess of Neptune the instrument. To the point where she could excel even more on her own."
Michiru blushed slightly at the cryptic compliment, "I remember a little about that, many of the other members of the planets thought I was from Euphonia and had made a home on Neptune."
Setsuna nodded, "Anyway, Euphonia was part of the Silver Alliance as well, and they were to protect this system and the keeper of the Silver Crystal as well. The Prince of Euphonia came to the Moon Kingdom to fight Beryl, he too died that day."
Usagi looked up, "he died? Could he have been reincarnated like the rest of us?"
"He was reincarnated, along with most of his guardians. I don't know exactly where they are, but they are not in Japan."
The youngest of the group spoke up, "So could they have been reincarnated in a different country? Perhaps the United States? Or Europe."
"They have been reincarnated, and in the states little one." Setsuna provided discretely
The golden blond girl in the group, with her hair pulled up with a bright red bow provided a possibility, "It would be difficult to find them though. America is a rather large country with an even larger population, the diversity there is infinite, it would almost be like finding a toothpick in a pile of straw."
The white feline that sat close by sighed, "Minako," he admonished, "it's a needle in a haystack."
Minako waved her hand, "Aww Artemis, you know what I mean. Don't be such a pole in a swamp."
The white cat just sighed again his companion answered, "That's stick in the mud, Minako." The black cat answered, yawning it stretched it's paws causing her charge to go into a fit of giggles.
"Oh Luna, you're so cute when you do that."
The rest of the girls soon joined Usagi in teasing the now blushing felines. The outers giggled and shook their heads when it became apparent that the meeting is now adjourned.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the hotel...
JC was lying on his bed, his arms pulled up behind his head as he stared at the ceiling. The rest of the band were scattered throughout the room, resting up for the concert tomorrow. They were given the chance to enjoy themselves for the rest of the day, just as long as they didn't bump into any trouble.
Justin sat on his bed watching a bit of television, Lance sitting on the foot of that bed as well. The two blondes carelessly watching the tv set bored, and tired.
The final two members of the groups sat in chairs also watching tv, but they too were half awake, they needed a nap and desperately.
"Hey you guys, let's take a nap and then drive around town tonight?" Chris said, his hair spiked up and color tipped in red.
Lance looked up at Joey with tired hazel eyes, "Yeah I'm all for that one. Let's get back to out hotel room." Looking at JC on the bed, "Hey man, I hope things work out for you and that girl, she seems pretty nice, but then she was sleeping the entire time I saw her."
JC looked up at his friend, "Yeah thanks man, see you later?"
"You betcha." Joey and Lance left the room, and Chris stood up he stretched and pulled out a loud yawn, "Well I'm turning in, hope you guys get some sleep, and Curly." Justin looked up at the nickname, "You turn off that magic box and get some sleep, 'kay? We got a concert tomorrow and we're going around tonight after naps, so sleep soon so we get going sooner."
Justin laughed, "Yeah I gotcha." Turning off the screen he jumped under the covers, "There I'm in, you wanna read me a bedtime story?"
Chris laughed, "Save that for your mother when we get back to Orlando, see ya!" Chris closed the door leaving Justin and JC behind. Justin closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but his mind was just too wound up. Looking to his left he spotted JC staring up at the ceiling, deep in thought.
Sensing that someone was looking JC looked to his right and found his best friend staring at him, "What?"
Justin shook his head, "Nothing Jace, just wondering, what's so special about her?"
JC tried to feigned confusion, "What do you mean?"
Justin propped his head up with his elbow, "You know exactly what I mean, you saw her for less than a minute and suddenly she's there in the next room sleeping soundly. That can be considered as strange in my book." Justin pointed towards the interconnecting door for emphasis.
JC shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know Justin, I mean, I just feel right about her, she is like, 'the one' you know? It's just something that I can't really describe, just looking at her makes me want to hold her. She's special Justin that's all I know."
Justin smiled, "Yeah I know, it's kind of like me and Britney, I didn't know it at the time, but it was just kind of there. I mean, she's great even since our mousey days she was cute, she's cute now but more of a womanly cute, you know what I mean?"
JC laughed, "Yeah I know what you mean. She's just something else."
Justin looked at the man that he had look up to as a stable older brother kind of figure, he liked that feeling, these discussions were what he had always liked, and that helped him to understand himself more and more.
Lying back on the bed he closed his eyes and allowed sleep to takeover him as he rested after a long workout earlier that day.
JC for his part also fell asleep, dreaming peacefully about the girl in the next room, wearing a gown of golden light, and a smile that could melt the iciest of hearts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Few hours later...
Mari woke up from her deep sleep and took a look in her surroundings, Mari slowly climbed out of bed and walked to the mirror in the bathroom, after taking a moment to double check her appearance she left the bathroom and glanced around the room.
She noticed the two doors in the hotel suite, one, she knew led to the outside hallway, however there was another door that she had no idea where it led to. Instead of leaving the door be, her curiosity over took her common sense as she walked slowly towards the door. Gripping the handle she pressed one ear into the door and listened to any strange sounds.
Hearing none she weighed her options, she could either walk through the door or leave the hotel altogether. Her mind telling her to go with the latter choice, she followed her heart and opened the door...

Author's Notes:
*Looks up* Wow, twelve pages, amazing. I knew this would be long considering that I was working on the other people as well. Who knew? Hope you liked this chapter part it is a bit more detailed with the other groups.
Oh and as a precursor, the boys from the bands will be FRIENDS to the senshi, since the senshi were supposedly engaged to the generals at the time (manga based). Thus allowing the band members to keep their girlfriends, fiancées, or wives. I have some ideas on how to put those females into the picture. :-) (By the way, many thanks to Tygerwind8 for giving me that idea like last year when I posted this up to see what people think.)
As for the two brothers... well I had every intention on bringing them in this chapter but I thought, why? Let's anti-up the suspense knob a bit and *poof* time for you to guess who are lucky enough to enter this crossover ficcie. You'll find out in the next chapter, or maybe the chapter after that. Bwa ha ha ha ha!
Hope you like this part, more to come soon. I will post Chapter 2 part b as soon as I finished it, Chapter 2 was getting too long for my tastes and I was getting super anxious so... part 2a is here. Chapter 3 and 4 are being started now, though 4 is further down the road than 3...
