The club was packed when we got in. During the wait, we made just a bunch of small talk. I hope he didn't notice how eager I
was to get away from him. As soon as I could, I pushed my way through the crowd to the lower bar. Once there, "Joel" excused
himself to go to the bathroom. A few seconds after he had left, I saw Raye coming towards me. " Come on, Mina!We have to get
you out of here," she said as she grabbed my arm and towed me along behind her. Suddenly, a second Raye came up from behind
me and grabbed my other arm. I became really confused at the sight of two Rayes. First two Joels and now two Rayes.

The rest of the scouts then came running over. They stopped the second they saw two Rayes. " What are you idiots waiting for?
Help me!"demanded one of them. Suddenly, the other Raye changed right before our eyes in to me! " Oh shit! We got a shape
shifter with us," Lita screamed. The imposter then picked me up and ran for the emergency door leading to outside. I pounded
as hard as I could on his/her back, but it did no good. As soon as we were about a half mile away from the club, I was tossed
down to the ground. My head made a hard thud as it hit the ground and a splitting pain bursted through my skull.

My hands were then bound behind my back tightly by a thick rope. I heard footsteps coming near. The four sailor scouts then
appeared in front of the shape shifter. " You messed with the wrong people, freak!" Sailor Jupiter shouted. Then, her and
Mars attacked at the same time, their powers combining together. The shape shifter let out a wretched sounding laugh as he
dodged the attack. He then shifted in to Tuxedo Mask. " Hello, Sailor Moon. Want to tell your friends to back off (laugh)?"
he mocked. Next, he changed in to Sailor Moon. " Wanna see somethin' quite fun?" he asked the scouts as he moved to stand
behind me. He then grabbed the tiara off his head and tossed it at them. It worked exactly the same way as Serena's had. The
scouts all quickly dove out of the way. Mercury got up to her feet again and sent out a swarm of bubbles, making it hard to
see. " You're mine, Sailor Venus!" he whispered harshly in my ear. " How the hell do you know who I am? Sailors! I'm over
here! Help!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. " Enough of this!" were the last words I heard before I was knocked
unconscious.

I woke up back in my bedroom with a killer headache and a throbbing pain on my wrists. Lita, Raye, Amy, and Serena were
scattered around my room. " She's awake!" Amy yelled to the others as she replaced a wet towel on my forehead. They all
came over with looks of relief on their faces.

" What's going on guys?"

" Thank goodness you're alive, Mina! Had us scared there for awhile."

" You remember what happened at all?"

" No, Lita. I mean, I sort of do. I remember the shape shifter dude and him tying me up and you guys trying to rescue me.
That's about it though. So, did you guys destroy him or what?"

" Well....no. Here's the weird part. Remember when Ames shot off those bubbles? Well...we couldn't really see what was
happening. Out of like nowhere, you were shoved in to Raye's arms and someone said ' Take her to a safe place while I'll
deal with him.' So we kinda did what we were told. During that time, we heard tons of strange noises and all but couldn't
see a thing!Once the bubbles started to cleared out, we saw some dark figure standing there."

" That's right, Lita. We heard lots of battle noises, but couldn't see a thing! The black figure was alone by the time the
bubbles had cleared. He said to get you home quickly. Never said who he was. But I can guarantee you this, that wasn't my
Tuxedo Mask!"

" Do you have any idea who it could have been, Mina?"

" Not the slightest clue. It's good to know that there's someone watching out for me though. Not to say that you guys don't."

" Well, on a more serious note, we got some things to discuss. Who was your savior? Also, who was the shape shifter?"

" How can we ever know that, Amy? He changes form so much."

" True, Raye. There's got to be a natural form though. We need to figure that out!"

" It would help to talk to Mina's guardian angel! ( wink wink)"

" Stop it, Lita. Let's be serious here. So, we need to find out who the shape shifter is and who her savior is. Let's think
about this a little. Who's new in town?"

" Duh, Amy! Zander Grey maybe? Remember, you put me on watch patrol?"

" True. He is a good possibility. But for good or bad? That leads to another question, why you, Mina? What is it about you
that they want?"

" Heck if I know! I never asked for this! I'm getting a headache from all of this! Can't we just discuss this later?
Pleaseeeeeeeeeee?"

" I suppose you're right. You do need to rest up. By the way, your mom left for a business meeting. Won't be back for about
a week. The note's on your dresser if you want to read it later. Come on girls, let's give Mina her beauty sleep.Artemis
and Luna will be here if in case."

" Thank you. Bye guys. Thanks for saving my butt, or at least attempting to!"

" Take care,Mina!"

" And thank you, my guardian angel."
