Mercury and The Masked Stranger.
"Mars fire..."
"Jupiter Thunder..."
"IGNITE!!!"
"CRASH!!!"
The girls' joint attack finished of the monster from the Negaverse. The
girls jumped up and down in triumph.
"YES!!! Another one for the Sailor Scouts!" cried Lita. "How about we go
and get a McDonalds?" she suggested to Raye, her best friend and fellow
Sailor Scout.
Raye nodded, trying to get her breath back. "Sure," she eventually said.
Ohhh, Darien might even be there! She added to herself.
They transformed back from Sailor Scouts, and then headed off for
McDonalds.
When they arrived, they ordered their meals, and then went and sat down while they waited for the food. Suddenly, someone Lita knew walked in. "Amy! Oy, Amy! Over here! Hi!" she cried. A shortish girl, with short blue hair walked over. "Hi!" she said. "Amy, this is Raye. Raye, this is Amy. She goes to my school. Amy smiled at Raye, who grinned back. "Hey, take a seat," she offered. "Er, no, thank you. I'm meeting someone." "Who?" inquired Lita, excitedly. Amy mumbled something inaudible under her breath, but Lita obviously heard. "Greg! Oh, you two make such a cute couple!" she laughed happily. "We're not a couple!" blushed Amy. "We're just discussing that maths project." "Yeah, right," said Lita, as Amy rushed off, embarrassed. "She's really nice," commented Lita, as a waitress brought their burgers over. "But I don't think that she could be a Sailor Scout. She seems too...settled here." "You never know," said Raye, thoughtfully. "They could be anyone." Lita nodded, taking a bite out of her hot burger. Just as Raye had started crunching on a chip, the door opened, and someone, this time familiar to Raye walked in. Raye dropped the chip. "It's DARIEN!" she hissed at Lita. "Don't look!" she moaned, as Lita turned around. Darien went over to the counter, and ordered some food. He stood for a moment, waiting for his meal. When he had paid, and it was all sitting on his tray, he turned around, and looked for a seat. He spotted Raye, and walked over. "Um, excuse me? Raye? Could I sit here, please?" "Well, I um..." "Sure!" gushed Lita, and moved Raye's tray over, so that there was some room for Darien. "Hi, I'm Darien. I bumped into Raye the other day. I don't think that she had a very nice trip! And you are..?" "Lita. I'm a friend of Raye. She's a very good friend for anybody to have..." Raye kicked her under the table. "Ow!" "So Raye," said Darien. "You going to that New Years Eve party in the park?" "Well I..." Lita gave her a look. "Yeah, I am. You?" "I meant, are you going with anybody?" "Well, Lita and I...No, not with anyone." "Well, would you like to go with me?" He asked, sounding a little less confident. Raye nodded, happily. "Good," he said, cocking an eyebrow. "Hopefully I'll make a better partner than Lita."

"Amy should be here soon," said Lita looking at her watch. Raye, who lived in a temple with her Grandfather, had invited Lita and Amy round the next evening. But Amy was already late, something that Lita wasn't used to her being. It was then that they heard the scream outside. They ran out as quickly as they could. The first thing that they saw was Raye's Granddad, lying unconscious on the floor. Two, giant men, looking very ferocious stood opposite a girl in a Sailor Scout uniform. They couldn't see who it was, but they didn't have time to ask. As quickly as they could, they transformed. "Jupiter power!" "Mars power!" They were just in time. Though the girl was doing well, one of the giants was already injured, she had been fighting for a while on her own, and was getting tired. The girls sprung into action. "Mars fire ignite!" Raye sent her flaming attack at the weaker giant. Lita finished it off with, "Jupiter thunder crash!" But the other giant was still strong. The other Scout blinded it with her attack, "Mercury bubbles blast!" But then it hit her to the floor with an even stronger attack. "Doom cannon blast!" "Jupiter thunder clap zap!" cried Lita, but the attack did very little damage, as he had shielded himself. "Doom destruction cloud!" This attack hit Lita, and sent her flying to the floor. "Mars celestual fire surround!" cried Raye, but the attack barely penetrated the shield. He turned to Raye. He smiled evilly, a growl bubbling up in his throat. He seemed to surge with energy, and Raye knew that she was in trouble. "Ultimate...dark..." Raye prepared to block the attack. "POWER!!!" It all seemed to happen in slow motion. The attack was hurtling towards her. She bent her knees. Then, a dark shape seemed to leap in front of the attack, taking it for Raye. "Ahhhh!" the figure cried out, and fell to the floor. Raye rushed over to them, but, amazingly, they scrambled to their feet. "I am Tuxedo Mask," the figure told Raye. He was tall, and wearing a tuxedo. But he looked to be incredibly handsome beneath his mask. From his cloak, he produced a rose, with he threw at the giant, breaking his shield. "Now, get him while he's weak!" cried Tuxedo Mask. "Mars fire IGNITE!!!" cried Raye. The giant was nearly finished, but Raye was exausted, and feel into Tuxedo Mask's arms. "Quickly!" he hissed at her. The giant was turning, preparing to attack. "I can't!" Raye sobbed. His arms gave her strength, she knew that she would eventually be able to attack, if only she had some time! Suddenly, a cry sounded from somewhere beside Raye. "Mercury Bubbles BLAST!!!" The attack from the Scout temporarily blinded the giant, giving Raye the time to put her weight back on her own feet, and perform the final attack. "Mars celestual fire surround!" With a cry, the monster was defeated. Sighing, Raye turned around to thank Tuxedo Mask. He was gone. She watched as the mysterious Sailor Scout went over to Lita, and helped her up. "Who are you?" cried Raye. The girl looked up. It was Amy.

"So you're Sailor Mercury?" Amy nodded. "I'm so glad that you two have found me!" she said happily. "I felt so alone. It was such a struggle. I was trying to find everyone, but I couldn't remember what they looked like. I'd see someone, and think 'Oh, maybe she's a Sailor Scout,' but then I'd think, 'how am I ever going to know?' But now I've got you!" They nodded. "We felt the same," said Raye. "But it must be worst for you, Raye. Can't you remember your husband?" Raye sadly shook her head. Lita put a comforting arm around her. "Don't worry. We'll find him."

"Grandpa, are you sure you're okay?" "Ohhhh, yes. I just I wish that I could remember. If I knew who'd done this, I go and...it's a good thing that you and your friend came out and scared them. You didn't see who it was, did you?" "No, Grandpa, they were wearing masks." "Oh well. Well, if they ever come back, I'll be ready for them. It's getting late, you'd better go to bed." "Goodnight, Grandpa," sighed Raye. "Goodnight," said her Grandpa. Raye traipsed up the stairs. She changed into her pyjama's, and climbed into bed. Lying there, she felt rather guilty. She was going to the party with Darien, and she had to admit it to herself, was developing a crush on Tuxedo Mask. And she was married. Yet, it was so hard to keep loving someone when she couldn't even remember their name. Sighing, she eventually fell asleep. She dreamt that she was on the Mars Kingdom with her husband, but he was wearing a mask like Tuxedo Mask's, but it covered his whole head. She awoke with a start, covered in sweat, and, picking up her phone, she rang Lita.

Lita woke up at 12.30am when her mobile started to ring. "Wha-what?" she rubbed her eyes. The ringing did not stop, so she fumbled on her bedside table for the ringing phone. "Hello?" It was Raye, sobbing down the phone. Lita spent the next hour of the morning calming her down, and didn't get back to sleep until 2.00am.
When they arrived, they ordered their meals, and then went and sat down while they waited for the food. Suddenly, someone Lita knew walked in. "Amy! Oy, Amy! Over here! Hi!" she cried. A shortish girl, with short blue hair walked over. "Hi!" she said. "Amy, this is Raye. Raye, this is Amy. She goes to my school. Amy smiled at Raye, who grinned back. "Hey, take a seat," she offered.
