It's me again. I just want to thank those of you who were kind enough to review. As for all you others. You're all JERKS!!! Just kidding.
Any way I would like to thank Princess Silver Serenity, empress blade, and jupi.
I'll love ya forever! *_-
To jupi - I just want to say I'm really sorry but I have all the couples already planned out. It was a birthday present to my little brother. He got to pick out the couples. I'm REALLY REALLY sorry. Please don't hate me. I feel SO bad now. I think I'm gonna cry.
Getting back to business. I don't own anything except the basic idea, and Crystal/Clear. (My name *_*)
If you didn't read this note before I'm saying it again. This fic is not centered around any Sailor Moon Character, or any anime character for that matter. The reason I put it in the Sailor Moon Crossovers is because they play a very important role in the plot line.
Now to the story. Hope you like it!
Chapter Two-Time To Leave
The sun rose and with it the spirits of the Fellowship. All night they wondered why they were looking forward to the journey to Mordor. Well, not the destination itself, more like the trip. They were gathering their supplies when a startled scream caught their attention. Legolas arrived in the clearing first followed closly by Gimli and Boromir. A few seconds later Aragorn and the hobbits came running.
Crystal lay sprawled on the ground with a startled expression on her face. Standing above her smirking was a short muscular man in black jeans and a dark teal tank top. What surprised all present was his hair, which was solid black and swept into the air like a flame. Next to him, smiling, was another man. He was dressed in white jeans and a blue t-shirt. He had platinum blonde hair, and light green eyes that radiated gentleness and kindness. Legolas briefly wondered in they were more of her Guardian Gang.
"Don't do that, Vege-head!" Crystal growled, glaring up at the black haired man.
"It's not my fault you didn't hear me coming," he chuckled as the other man moved to help her to her feet.
She grasped his hand and hauled herself up, then stomped over to the man in teal. "After all this time you can still be a major prick."
"I know."
She gave a small sigh and grabbed the other by the elbow, dragging him to her. "At least, Q-dude knows to behave in public." She turned to him, giving him a hug and smiling cheerfully. "Thank you."
"Not a problem," he said blushing, returning the hug and smile.
At that moment a woman walked up to them. "Since when do *you* behave in public, Clear?"
Crystal looked at the woman in dark violet and white. "When I want to?" she replied in a questioning voice.
The woman nodded her sandy brown head in satisfaction. "Exactly."
Crystal's sheepish expression turned into a frown. "Stop gaining up on me, Re-girl!"
The woman laughed her eyes twinkling. "Okay, okay. Now, wipe that frown off your face."
The blonde man nodded. "Yes, you don't look right with it."
The last man just grunted his agreement.
She laughed and smiled beautifully at the three. Then she noticed the audience they had acquired. She turned to face the Fellowship and the many elves.
"These three none of ya've met before. This is Vegeta," she pointed to the scowling man. "This is Quatre and this is Relena," she motioned to the man and woman next to her.
Vegeta took everyone in with a quick glance. His coal black eyes, for a few seconds, lingering on Legolas. It was as if he was evaluating or judging him. Why? Legolas could not tell.
'So that's him.' Vegeta thought inspecting the elf quickly. 'He's a pretty boy.' He took in the fair face, long pale gray blonde hair, and blue-gray eyes. 'No doubt Clear's type.' He noticed the hidden affection for the Guardian. As well as the desire to please her and rid her of her pain. He smiled inwardly as he concluded that Legolas was indeed worthy of her. All he needed to do was prove himself.
Vegeta walked over to Clear, the scowl disappearing from his face when he looked upon her small cheerful form. "What's this I hear about you leaving with a bunch of humans."
"They're not all humans, Vegeta. Only two," Relena clarified.
"Outsiders then." He was going to say mortals, but he figured that Clear hadn't explained to them yet the difference between an immortal, such as an elf, and a true immortal, like the Guardians.
"What's the matter, Vege-head?" Clear teased. "Mad 'cause you can't come with me?"
He "humped" and turned his back to her. "No. I'm just worried about leaving you with the outsiders."
"So you're worried about me?"
"In your dreams. I'm worried about the ones who are most unfortunate as to be stuck in your presence during their time of crisis."
Though his words were harsh none were blind to the deep love that shone from the man's black eyes. None, expect Merry and Pippin, who ran forward.
"Excuse us sir," Merry began nervously. "But we think we are very lucky that Lady Crystal is coming with us."
"Yeah!" Pippin wrapped his arms around Crystal's small waist. "And you shouldn't be so mean to her."
Relena laughed softly before giving Vegeta a light shove. "Don't worry, little ones. Insulting is just how he shows affection. Speaking of which," she turned to him frowning. "When was the last time you insulted me?"
He smirked. "You talk too much, you're brain is the size of a pea, and you're hair looks like crap. Not to mention your breath skinks."
She blinked. "Well, I guess I had that coming," she mumbled to herself.
Quatre shook his head. Smiling he decided it was time to do what they set out to do. "We're just here to see you off, Clear. Oh, and Heero wanted me to tell you to not let these people die."
She let go of Pippin, who stepped away. "Q-dude..."
"Bulma also said something about it being unfair."
"What being unfair?"
"Oh you know. Them being them and you being you," he said, as if it were the most casual answer in the world.
She was about to say something when Relena cut her off. "Not that it's your fault."
Vegeta added, "Besides you'd make a pathetic human. I'll bet that you couldn't make it two days as a human on this little 'trip'."
Crystal's eyes flashed lavender for a brief moment. She crossed her arms in front of her, mimicking his stance. "Oh, and what's that's supposed to mean?"
"That you can't survive as a human on a normal day. Let alone survive on a dangerous journey. Face it, Clear. You don't have what it takes." He leaned into her flushed face, smirking again.
"That's it! I can survive as a human any day, anywhere, and anytime! Just you watch!" Crystal turned and stomped away, not seeing the satisfied faces of her Guardians.
Aragorn had a feeling that the three people had meant for her to turn herself into a human, how ever she could. Though why was beyond him. Why, if they loved her so much, would they risk her harm? He was about to ask when the Guardians disappeared in flashes of blue, teal, and violet light.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
The three Guardians arrived in a soft green meadow and off in the distance one could see a grand forest. They ran forward and up a hill. Nestled peacefully between surrounding hills was their home. They quickly ran into the Palace to report.
"So how did it go?" Chi Chi demanded excitedly.
"Excellent," Quatre answered, sitting down on one of the stools in the large kitchen where most of the Guardian Gang was gathered.
"What's goin' on?" Serena asked, carrying ingredients for her sandwich over to Lita.
"Clear's going to turn herself into a human."
"What?!" Duo, over hearing the conversation, came dashing into the kitchen. "Why?!"
"Yeah, Relena," Goku agreed. "She could get hurt."
"It's the only way. We're never going to have another chance like this."
The two clueless men looked upon the silent Guardian of Time sitting atop the counter.
"If Clear wasn't human she could sense us too easily," Amy explained, placing her book on the table and taking off her glasses.
"Besides, the elf needs to prove himself."
Everyone turned to stare at Vegeta.
"What?!"
"You're too damn over protective, you know that?!" Bulma told her husband, tilting her head to the side.
"All I said was that the elf needs to prove himself. And if he's going to be one of us then, damnit, he better make it good!"
The others looked at each other and nodded their heads in unison. "Over protective."
Vegeta growled as he looked away.
"Stop pouting and have a cookie." Lita offered him a plate of peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies from behind.
"Which three of us have first watch?" Millardo inquired.
Immediately all hands shot into the air. "ME!" All except Vegeta, who was too busy deciding which cookie he wanted. Knowing there was no way he could talk himself into going, he scowled and tossed all of them into his mouth.
Amazingly enough it was decided that Trowa, Wufei, and Lita had their hand's up first.
"Damn!" Duo pounded his fist on the counter. "I wanted to go first!" he whined.
Amy walked over to him and rubbed his back comfortably as his cobalt eyes shinned in the light of the room. "Why don't you go see Clear in Lorien. Help her get ready. After all, we wanted her to become human so we have a better chance at tricking her. She still needs the essentials."
Mina gasped as she remembered something. "Some of those essentials can be used to aid in our cause."
"How?" Darien questioned, raising his eyebrow.
"Elves love music and dance," Raye revealed. "So we pack her a radio and give her some CDs."
"Nice romantic CDs," Mina grinned.
"If she's trying to stay away from him, then why would she play them?"
"Stop being so pessimistic," Serena gave him a shove as she sat down with her sandwich.
"We have to analyze every detail of the situation. If not we could lose."
"Still being the 'Perfect Soldier' I see." Wufei smirked.
Heero shrugged.
"He does have a point," Millardo said.
"That he does." Trista hopped off the counter to get herself a glass of water. "She will indeed play them simply because she loves song as well and won't go to long without hearing one."
"No matter what it is," Bulma said.
"Not to mention that it will give Clear and Legolas something to talk about," Darien added.
"Who?" Goku's brows furrowed in confusion.
"The elf," Chi Chi said.
"Ahh."
"What about him?" Wufei inquired. "I mean, this is going to be hard and it most likely will take a long time. What if he gives up before we're through? What if Clear misses her chance because she's too paranoid?" He was starting to become worried. He was tired of sensing Clear's hidden unhappiness and he knew that the others were too.
"Then that just proves he isn't worthy of this life. Let alone her love."
Vegeta was ignored as Trowa answered, even though they knew he had a point. "Galadriel had a chat with Legolas. It seems she told him to give Clear time."
"Yes. Given time..."
"All things are possible," they finished for her in one bored voice.
Trista frowned as she looked upon her fellow Guardians. "Who will go with Duo," she asked trying to change the subject.
"Can I go?" Goku eyes widened as he put on his most convincing face. "Please."
"Fool," Vegeta growled.
"Okay, Goku. You can go," Serena decided.
"C'mon Goku, buddy. Let's move," Duo said eagerly, clapping his had on the other man's back.
"Don't mention a thing to her," Raye warned. "If you do I'll set both of you on fire."
With a nervous gulp the two disappeared in a flash of dark orange and navy blue light.
"Does anybody know where Luna and Artemis is?" Trowa questioned suddenly.
************************************************************************************************
Crystal continued to fume as she climbed the white staircase.
"I can't believe it! Me?! Make a pathetic human?! I'll have you know I was a human for 19 freakin' years!" She shouted to passing elves, ignoring their confused yet curious looks. She continued to swing her arms wildly, her face contorted in anger. "Okay... So maybe I haven't been a human for 2000 some odd years. I know I can still do it!"
She stopped in her tirade when she opened her chamber door and noticed the two men sitting calmly on her bed.
"Jeez, Clear." Duo stood and walked to the window looking out to see the elves, Haldir among them, staring up. "We heard your ranting all the way from home."
Her eyes lost their angry glow as she ran over to embrace him. Duo's blue eyes widened dramatically as he gasped.
"..air."
"Sorry," she apologized happily, releasing him.
Goku laughed from the bed amused. Only her and Serena could change moods so fast. Well, maybe him too. "We're here to help you pack."
She looked at them suspiciously. "How do you know I need to pack?"
He shrugged. "From what Vegeta told us we figured you would do somethin' like this."
"And you need things as a human. Things you just can't snap your figures and get," a female voice said.
They turned to the window to see Luna and Artemis.
"Hey you two," Clear greeted brightly, the two cats jumping onto her slender shoulders.
A soft knock rang through the air and stopped any more talk.
"Door's unlocked."
Legolas opened the door to reveal two new men, one in dark orange and one in navy blue, and Clear with two cats on her shoulders, one white, one black and both with golden upturned crescent moons on their foreheads.
"Hey, Leo. Come on in."
Legolas stepped into the room, closing the door quietly behind him.
"I do not mean to interrupt, Lady Crystal."
"Knock it off with the 'lady' stuff," she said firmly. "Now, what did you want?"
Duo and Goku noticed the uncomfortable weight shit. Since when was an elf uncomfortable?
"I mean not bother you, but you seemed to be upset so I can to see if you would like anything."
Crystal smiled, "That's sweet."
The two men in the room chuckled lightly, drawing her attention.
"Leo, this is Duo and Goku. Boys, this is Legolas."
"Hi."
"Hiya."
"It's an honor."
"And these two are Luna and Artemis." Clear pulled the cats from her shoulders and handed them to Legolas, who smiled as they climbed up to his own shoulders.
"How do you do?" he asked kindly.
"Very well thank you," the black one said.
The two cats jumped off of him and sat at the foot of the elven bed. Legolas stood shocked as he stared at them.
"At least he isn't denying it. That's a good sign," Goku whispered to Duo who nodded.
"I apologize. It is just... I've never heard of talking felines before," he stammered with wide eyes. "Again, I am sorry. I mean no disrespect. Please excuse my inappropriate behavior."
"It's quite all right," the male white one said. "To tell you the truth we find it most refreshing that you aren't running around in circles screaming." Here he gave a meaningful look at Duo.
"It's probably because you're an elf," Luna added. "And as one you have a tendency to accept quickly what others would deem impossible."
"Don't just stand there. Sit." Clear came forward after a second of silence and took him by the hand, leading him to the side of the bed.
"Are you gonna pack or what, Clear?"
"I'm gettin' there, Braid Boy."
Legolas watched amazed as Crystal snapped her fingers and in a flash of lavender light a small pack of the same color with silver lining appeared beside him. The two men stood up and immediately went to her dresser.
"You don't need too much clothes, Clear," Goku announced.
"Yeah. Ya might be a human for a while but you still won't be without your resources."
"I'm glad you think so." Legolas watched as Crystal sat down beside him as they continued to stuff the small pack with her clothes.
"All right. That's enough."
"But, Clear..."
"But nothing, Ku."
Goku pouted as he placed the shirt back into the drawer.
"Now, what else do I need?"
Duo began to search around the large room. Finally stopping at the night dresser by the bed and taking out a few pairs of socks and such. Goku placed her toothbrush and toothpaste in a plastic bag and added that to the pack. Upon seeing the elf's amazed look she turned to him and asked, "What?"
"Why would you allow men to do you're packing for you. A female I can understand. But... male?"
She giggled. The light sound like the most beautiful music to his ears. "A lot of women would be uncomfortable with it. With me though... It doesn't really matter much. Besides not many males would be willing to do a women's packing." She turned her head to see the two men and cats smiling. "What?"
"Nothing." They blushed and returned to walking around as the cats gazed out the window.
"Guys," Clear questioned. "Why are you walking in circles? If you don't know what else to put in just put it in when you think of it."
Legolas looked confused. Believing he had never been more confused or shocked before in his entire life as he had been in the last day and a half.
"You can't always understand what Clear says," Artemis stated.
"But you will," Luna added with confidence. "Hopefully sooner rather than later," she whispered to herself.
"She means that anything she might need in the future can magically appear in the bag. Placed in there by us." A woman in a blue top and white shorts stood leaning on the oversized door frame smiling.
"Icy," Clear welcomed leaping from the bed. "What are you doin' here? This is Amy by the way."
"I'm here to help of course. You can't leave everything up to a couple of men," she winked. "You must be Legolas." She turned to him giving him a look over.
He moved to kiss her hand, staring at her saphhire blue hair.
"I know. It's nothing like you've ever seen before." She moved to touch her short hair, blushing.
Legolas shook his head. "It's beautiful."
"Thank you. Now, getting back to Clear," she faced her. "Anything you need will be in there on your trip. Anyway you need to be going. It's almost noon. The others will be coming to say goodbye soon."
Legolas quietly stood and walked towards the door. "We will be waiting for you, Crystal."
"Tell 'em I'll be down in a few."
He left to finish gathering his own few belongings, wondering if Luna had been correct about him learning to better understand her words.

What surprised all present was his hair, which was solid black and swept into the air like a flame. Next to him, smiling, was another man. He was dressed in white jeans and a blue t-shirt. He had platinum blonde hair, and light green eyes that radiated gentleness and kindness. Legolas briefly wondered in they were more of her Guardian Gang.

The woman laughed her eyes twinkling. "Okay, okay. Now, wipe that frown off your face."
The blonde man nodded. "Yes, you don't look right with it."

"Hey, Leo. Come on in."
Legolas stepped into the room, closing the door quietly behind him.
"I do not mean to interrupt, Lady Crystal."
"Knock it off with the 'lady' stuff," she said firmly. "Now, what did you want?"
Duo and Goku noticed the uncomfortable weight shit. Since when was an elf uncomfortable?
"I mean not bother you, but you seemed to be upset so I can to see if you would like anything."
Crystal smiled, "That's sweet."
The two men in the room chuckled lightly, drawing her attention.
"Leo, this is Duo and Goku. Boys, this is Legolas."
"Hi."
"Hiya."
"It's an honor."
"And these two are Luna and Artemis." Clear pulled the cats from her shoulders and handed them to Legolas, who smiled as they climbed up to his own shoulders.
"How do you do?" he asked kindly.
"Very well thank you," the black one said.
The two cats jumped off of him and sat at the foot of the elven bed. Legolas stood shocked as he stared at them.
"At least he isn't denying it. That's a good sign," Goku whispered to Duo who nodded.
"I apologize. It is just... I've never heard of talking felines before," he stammered with wide eyes. "Again, I am sorry. I mean no disrespect. Please excuse my inappropriate behavior."
"It's quite all right," the male white one said. "To tell you the truth we find it most refreshing that you aren't running around in circles screaming." Here he gave a meaningful look at Duo.
"It's probably because you're an elf," Luna added. "And as one you have a tendency to accept quickly what others would deem impossible."
"Don't just stand there. Sit." Clear came forward after a second of silence and took him by the hand, leading him to the side of the bed.
"Are you gonna pack or what, Clear?"
"I'm gettin' there, Braid Boy."
Legolas watched amazed as Crystal snapped her fingers and in a flash of lavender light a small pack of the same color with silver lining appeared beside him. The two men stood up and immediately went to her dresser.
"You don't need too much clothes, Clear," Goku announced.
"Yeah. Ya might be a human for a while but you still won't be without your resources."
"I'm glad you think so." Legolas watched as Crystal sat down beside him as they continued to stuff the small pack with her clothes.
"All right. That's enough."
"But, Clear..."
"But nothing, Ku."
Goku pouted as he placed the shirt back into the drawer.
"Now, what else do I need?"
Duo began to search around the large room. Finally stopping at the night dresser by the bed and taking out a few pairs of socks and such. Goku placed her toothbrush and toothpaste in a plastic bag and added that to the pack. Upon seeing the elf's amazed look she turned to him and asked, "What?"
"Why would you allow men to do you're packing for you. A female I can understand. But... male?"
She giggled. The light sound like the most beautiful music to his ears. "A lot of women would be uncomfortable with it. With me though... It doesn't really matter much. Besides not many males would be willing to do a women's packing." She turned her head to see the two men and cats smiling. "What?"
"Nothing." They blushed and returned to walking around as the cats gazed out the window.
"Guys," Clear questioned. "Why are you walking in circles? If you don't know what else to put in just put it in when you think of it."
Legolas looked confused. Believing he had never been more confused or shocked before in his entire life as he had been in the last day and a half.
"You can't always understand what Clear says," Artemis stated.
"But you will," Luna added with confidence. "Hopefully sooner rather than later," she whispered to herself.
"She means that anything she might need in the future can magically appear in the bag. Placed in there by us." A woman in a blue top and white shorts stood leaning on the oversized door frame smiling.
"Icy," Clear welcomed leaping from the bed. "What are you doin' here? This is Amy by the way."
"I'm here to help of course. You can't leave everything up to a couple of men," she winked. "You must be Legolas." She turned to him giving him a look over.
He moved to kiss her hand, staring at her saphhire blue hair.
"I know. It's nothing like you've ever seen before." She moved to touch her short hair, blushing.
Legolas shook his head. "It's beautiful."
"Thank you. Now, getting back to Clear," she faced her. "Anything you need will be in there on your trip. Anyway you need to be going. It's almost noon. The others will be coming to say goodbye soon."
Legolas quietly stood and walked towards the door. "We will be waiting for you, Crystal."
"Tell 'em I'll be down in a few."
He left to finish gathering his own few belongings, wondering if Luna had been correct about him learning to better understand her words.
