Author's Notes: Chapter 2! I'm gonna stop talking now….
'Strange. How come I didn't get that stupid headache when Sailor Moon transformed? Well I'm here anyway.'
Darien gently slipped out of the crowd of people who too noticed the fight. He when back to the alley and looked around to double check that no one was there. He then took out a rose from his shirt and smiled. 'It's show time.' He concentrated hard but nothing came. He looked at his clothes. They were still the same. 'What the…' He tried again and again and again but it was the same thing.
"Something is wrong here," Darien said to himself. Then he recalled the encounter between the fortuneteller and it hit him. "Of course the reason I can't transform is because of that wish she granted!"
"AHHHHH!" cried a scream from the crowd.
Darien rushed to the crowd and saw them all looking up. He saw that Sailor Moon was falling incredibly fast from the top of the building. People didn't know what to do. Darien just stood there.
'I have to do something!' thought Darien.
Then he passed the yellow picket line and stood underneath the college where Sailor Moon was supposed to land.
'Maybe I can catch her or something,' thought Darien impulsively.
BOOM! Darien was lying with his face on the ground. Sailor Moon was standing on Darien's back looking shocked. People were muttering things like "That must have hurt or what and idiot!"
"Oh my GOD! I injured a civilian!" cried Sailor Moon.
She heard a moan and grunt from the guy she was standing on.
"Uh. Please do you mind? Can you get off my back?" said Darien.
"Oh!" blushed Sailor Moon and finally notice the guy. 'It's Darien! Was he trying to save me?' She gently stepped off his back and as she did she heard a CRACK.
"Are you okay?" asked Sailor Moon looking piteously at her hero.
"I was going to ask you that," said Darien, "But I guess that was pretty stupid huh?"
"Please sir um… I must ask you to never do that again. I'm a professional and I know what I'm doing! I land on my feet anyway," said Sailor Moon in a matter-of-fact voice.
'Yeah right!' thought Darien. He thought back to the times where Sailor Moon would fall on her butt and always mess up.
"I guess you don't need my help then huh Miss Moon?" said Darien.
Sailor Moon smiled. 'I guess Darien does really have nice side to him. He's not really a conceited jerk after all!'
"I can take care of myself… thank you anyway," then Sailor Moon rushed up inside the building. 'Guess I'll take the stairs'
News people started to gather around Darien. The bombarded him with questions before he got to answer. Picture flashes were everywhere. He was starting to go blind. Then the police stepped in front of them.
"Every stay behind the yellow picket line!" yelled the police and started to push the news people back.
"Are you alright son? Do you need a doctor?" said one of the cops.
"No, I'm okay, really!" said Darien.
He looked up to the fight. The scouts were doing fine on their own. They already finished the fight and turned the monster into dust. The crowd was cheering loudly.
'So they really don't need my help and I can't help them anyway.' He slipped out from the cheering and went to the one place he can think of right now. 'Andrew.'
About like 15 minutes later…
"Wow Darien you were amazing!" said Andrew, "I saw everything on the news! It must have hurt thought… how's your back?"
"Awful!" groaned Darien, "Can I hide here for today?"
"Uh, sure!" said Andrew, "Are you sure your going to be okay?"
Darien made his way towards a door and he lay down on the couch. Andrew followed him in the room. He grabbed a chair and sat down next to his best friend looking concerned.
"I'll be fine," said Darien, "It's not like I broke my spinal cord!"
"I thought you did," replied Andrew
"I just need to be alone for a minute okay," said Darien.
"Fine whatever. I'll give you a shake on the house. I'll be back," Andrew left and closed the door behind him.
Darien touched his back with his had. He felt his energy being drained away from his body as it was put on his back. He gently felt his spine to check that all his bones where in order. He smiled relieved that he was away from all that. The television suddenly went on. The news showed a picture of him and Sailor Moon. Darien glared at the picture and punched the pillow right next to him.
'I'm so stupid! They don't need me! I don't think they knew Tuxedo Mask anyway. What was I thinking?! How can I catch a girl that's falling like 6 stories high! It's like catching an anvil,' he shouted to himself, 'Though…'
"Got you a shake, Dare!" shouted Darien.
He suddenly fell of the couch and was holding a hand to his heart.
"DON'T YOU EVER KNOCK!?!" yelled Darien.
Andrew frowned. Then Darien felt something in his shirt. He took out a crystal that glowed brightly. 'I still have this!'
"Cool! Where'd you get that?" asked Andrew.
"Oh! Uh… you didn't see anything!" said Darien nervously as he quickly put it back in his shirt.
The two boys suddenly were fighting for the crystal.
"Stay away! I told it's nothing!"
"Common! I bet it's worth a million!"
"It's a fake… I found it on the ground…"
"Bet it's for a girl!"
"Is not! WAIT!"
The news went to a commercial. A girl appeared on the screen. She had on hoop earrings and long robe. Darien looked at the picture with his eyes popping out of his head. Andrew looked at the picture too.
"It's… it's… it's…" Darien stuttered.
"It's the famous gypsy fortuneteller Kumiko so what?" said Andrew.
Darien looked at Andrew. "You know her?"
"Yeah! How on earth do you think I met Rita? She told me that I would meet the girl of my dreams and I did!" said Andrew who was trying to open a can of soda, "She's amazing really. She comes here like once a year or so."
"WHAT?! A YEAR?!" cried Darien.
He rushed out of the door. 'I got to find her and reverse this stupid wish.' Then he stopped. 'Wait a minute. I'm normal now. The scouts don't need my help. I don't have to fight any monsters anymore. All I have to worry about is college. I have my life back…' He took out the crystal from his pocket.
"Well I guess I don't need you princess or no princess!" said Darien.
He got ready to throw the thing but stopped. 'Well I guess I could keep it as a memento…' He started to walk towards his apartment. The rain was pouring heavily now. Andrew was watching the news.
"Attention all Tokyo citizens there is a flood warning! Everyone evacuate! The floods are ranging to about 10 to 20 feet of water or more!" said the weather lady.
Andrew rushed outside to tell Darien but the siren warned him instead.
"DARIEN FLOOD WARNING! GET OUT OF TOWN!!!" shouted Andrew.
Darien quickly ran and waved back to Andrew. There were thousands of cars on the streets trying to get out of town too. 'Great I'm really have a bad day! Wish I didn't drop that umbrella!'
Meanwhile a girl with blond hair was looking down at the panicked city. She had on an evil smile.
"Stupid humans running around like little rats trying to get away from their precious city! Maybe I'll be able to smoke out those Sailor Brats!" sneered the evil woman.
She looked at Darien. He was the only person running down the streets and not on a car. The black crystal on the woman's hand begun to glow. She looked closely at the man.
"That boy has one of the rainbow crystals huh?" said the woman, "Well looks like I, Zoisite, will get this crystal before the scouts can.
That's it… too long… too awful… typed down whatever came in my head. Well whatever I'll start on the next one. Hope at least someone is reading this…
Oh yeah! I want to thank my beta reader CJSpooks for helping me! *Applause*
