Chapter 3

It had now been over five months since Serena had been rejected from the scout team, and she enjoyed her new life. She could now do all the things that she never could have done because she was bound to Darien and their old engagement. She had even become an A student in stead of always failing in classes. And the teachers started to use her reports as examples for other students to follow.

"Hey Serena! Are you read for tonight's dance?" Chris asked, as he and Peter entered the crown arcade. It was the 40th anniversary of Juuban high school and in that occasion a huge ball was being held. Chris had asked Serena if she would be his date at the ball and she had accepted immediately.

The scouts looked at them. They had never seen Serena this happy before, not even when she had been dating Darien, and they didn't understand why she was this happy. Something was up, and whatever it was, it did not include them. But then again nothing did these days. She wouldn't even talk or help them at school. Whenever there was group work, Serena, if she was put in a group with the scouts, would always go solo so the teachers had started to give Serena work on her own, figuring that she didn't like being in group with Ami, Mina and Lita. And that made them depressed. They didn't know how to make Serena want to talk to them again. Serena had, a day when they had wanted to know where Luna was, told them that she really didn't care and that she had a new life and they weren't a part of it. They would just ruin it again. She had left them, glancing after her, not believing that she had said that "they had ruined her life".

"Yes, I am Chris." Serena replied, "I can't with for you to dance with me."

Chris kissed her passionately and said, "Yes, to dance the night away."

Peter and Andrew gave a wolf whistle, and smiled, "I've never seen a more perfect couple then you too." Andrew said, "You act as if you are long lost lovers or something."

Andrew's words earned the snickering comment of Raye. She just couldn't help it.

Seeing Serena this happy, and especially after she had kicked out of the sailor team, made her jealous, "Serena you can't even cook, so why bother get a boyfriend." She and the other girls laughed. The three guys turned around slowly and gave her angry and icy looks.

"Nobody asked you for your opinion, Raye." Andrew said, "Please leave. You are not welcome here when you can't treat my friends decent."

The girls left, giving him dirty looks. But Andrew didn't care one bit about it.

Chris and Serena left in the opposite direction as the girls. They where going to get Serena a nice dress for the evening.

"What colour do you think the dress should be?" Serena asked.

"Well I think that a white dress would look great on you."

Serena blushed. She couldn't stop thinking about him and tonight. They entered the gown store.

Meanwhile, as Serena and Chris were shopping, the scout's, save for Raye and Trista, went to the park for some ice cream. Hotaru were playing, while the others were talking scout business.

"We really need to find out more about the Dark Moon Kingdom." Amara said.

"I don't understand the sudden strength boost that they had. It is like they have expecting this turn of event." Ami said.

"Meaning what??" Michelle asked, looking at her.

"Meaning that they knew that we where going to be only us 8." Ami replied finishing her ice cream, "And how does Rini fit into all this?"

Later at night, as Serena was making herself ready for the party. The scouts where in a tuff battle against the four sisters and Rubeus, warriors the Dark Moon Kingdom.

"Look out Mars!!" Venus shrieked as she desperately tried to protect her friend.

Uranus send another powerful attack again the monster but it only absorbed the attack, making it grow stronger.

"Grrr…" said Jupiter, "We need to do something fast you guys!!"

"Can you determine it's week points?" Tuxedo mask bellowed above them.

"NO!!!!" Mercury cried, "This computer isn't making any sense at all!!" She typed very fast on the small keyboard, trying to get some information about this monster.

"Venus, Love-me Chain, encircle!!!" Venus yelled followed by Neptune, "Neptune Deep Sub merge!!"

The monster replied by sending a power full attack towards Mercury.

"Mercury!!!!!" all the scouts cried together, "Mercury, wake up!!" Venus yelled while the Droid charged up for another attack. However, it did not get that chance, for an enormous power blast hit the monster head on. It hollowed in pain and looked around for the attacker.

"Sun sword attack!" a male voice yelled.

"Neptune sword attack!" another male voice yelled.

"Moon sword elimination!" a third voice yelled.

"Hehehe don't go away mad monster, just go away." The third voice said.

The scouts looked around for the three men, but could not find them anywhere.

They looked at what was left of the monster. It was the same dust as when Sailor moon had killed one.

Mercury woke up and looked at the monster, "We are in a lot of trouble you guys" she said meekly, "We can not do this with out Sailor moon."

"NO!! We don't need her she will only make things worse!!" Sailor Mars yelled.

"We don't even know what is going on here anymore!!" Ami argued. "I told you guys that it was a stupid mistake kicking her out!! And now my computer isn't working either, not to mention that I am also the weakest. So I am just as "useless", so I might as well leave."

Lita looked horrified and shocked at the idea. "No, you guys!! She is right we can't do this alone anymore. We only made it tonight because those three men showed up and saved our butts. Serena has matured a lot over the last few months."

"WE DON'T NEED HER!!!" Raye yelled even more forcefully.

"Mina, please!!!" Ami cried, looking at her with pleading eyes.

"I agree with Raye on this one," Mina said not really wanting to let Serena back into the team and giving up her position as leader of the scout team. "She can't have matured that much in like five months. Not as clumsy and whiny as she is."

Ami just looked at her then at Amara and Michelle. They looked very much undecided about the whole matter.

"I think Ami is right." Michelle said. "From what I've seen of her she really has matured a lot lately, like she has become a whole new person."

"Rini says that she is more or less dating this Chris guy," Darien froze at

Hotaru's words, "And I know from school that Rini is sometimes acting VERY strange."

"What do you mean, Hotaru?" Mina asked.

"She is just acting a lot older. She acts more like a 13 year old, then an 8 year old."

The other girls looked at each other for a moment and then Mina said. "I think we really should tell Serena to come to a meeting. I am not saying that we should include her yet, but just to see how she is now."

"That's right. We are not going to invite her back into this team ever again." Raye spat. Darien just left the scouts, grumbling something about how immature Serena was from his point of view.

"Come on, we have better get ready for the ball." Lita said. The other girls nodded and went home to get ready.

Most of the students that where attending Juuban high where at the school that evening for the anniversary ball. The gym had been given a totally new look and where decorated with balloons, confetti, ribbons in all sorts of colours, beautiful flowers hang nicely in pots. A lot of people where already dancing, as

Ami, Lita, Mina and Raye entered the gym. Ami glanced in the direction of where Serena and Chris where dancing, but Raye pulled her in the other direction while mumbling, "Not now Ami. You guys can tell the Meatball head in the morning."

"I guess you are right, Raye." Ami replied and looked away from Serena and Chris.

She didn't know how to tell Serena that she needed to come to the scout meeting that was set for next day, at 4 pm.

'Onboard Rubeus ship'

"Wiseman, we need to find out who those men were." Rubeus said, looking at the hooded figure with the crystal ball.

"I can't find anything about those three men, Rubeus. How ever they are, they don't exist in the future." Wiseman said.

"Hmm, I wonder if they could be someone else in the future." Rubeus said. The hooded figure looked thoughtful for a moment and then said, "I will look into it. In the mean time get those crystal points!"

"Yes, Wiseman." Rubeus replied.

"Well?" Catsy asked, "What did he say?"

"Not much, only that he would look into the matter." Rubeus replied.

"What a help," Prisma replied, "here we are fighting a bunch of school girls and the all of the sudden, out of know where, come these three men and kill our droid and destroys the crystal point. And all Wiseman says is that 'he will look into the matter'."

"Never the less, we still need to make those points! I've found a new one," Rebues said pointing at the mirror of Tokyo, "In the park."

"Let me do it, please Rubeus." Birdie pleaded, "I wont fail I promise."

"Okay, I hope for all of us that you get this one. I fear that Wiseman is getting tired with us."

Birdie nodded. She too was having the same feeling and she didn't want to make Wiseman mad. She jumped through one of the mirrors and disappeared.

Chris and Serena had decided to go trough the park on the way home from the dance. Arm in arm they walked trough the park looking at the river and the moon's refection in the water. Serena rested her head on Chris's shoulder and let out a small sigh in contentment.

"Chris there is something that I need to tell you."

Chris stopped and looked at her, smiling. They stood there for a while, looking into each others eyes. Slowly the distance between them closed and turned into a passionate kiss.

"I love you Serena." Chris said.

"You do!?!" Serena said bursting with joy. Chris wrapped his arms around Serena and kissed her deeply.

"I love you too Chris." Serna whispered against his lips.

"Well, well, well, isn't this romantic, two teenagers, standing here and kissing in the moonlight."

Chris turned around, looking at the girl. Her again!?! Chris thought to himself. I need to get Serena out of here!

"I don't know who you are or what you want, but is isn't going to happen. So I suggest that you leave this please now!!" Chris yelled.

"You little…!!" Birdie sneered. Powering up, she send a strong power blast right at Chris, but Serena jumped in the way.

"Serena. Nooo!!" Chris yelled. "That is it. Now I am pissed!!

*************

O.O Chris sure is angry now, huh. ^_^ stay tuned people.
