Disclaimer: I don't own sailor moon

Author's note: sorry about the delay getting this chapter up, but my computer crashed and I had to buy a new mother board then I had to buy a new tower because the new mother board wouldn't fit in the old one, then I had to put it all back together. AND THEN it turned out my old key board had the wrong connection, so I had to get a new one, but that one had a funny 6 button so I had to get another new board, and finally my computer is fixed! (I hope!!!) Hope you enjoy -_-



Serena walked into the living room after putting Reni to bed. The scouts had arrived moments before and were now sitting in the living room, Rei was sitting on a sofa next to Ami and mina and Lita were sitting on the floor near their feet, Darien was sitting on an arm chair. Serena walked in and sat on Darien's lap, he slide his hand onto the small of her back and stroked it gently as they continued their conversation.

"So what's going on?" mina said braking the silence.

"We should wait for Luna and Artimus" Serena said talking control, as she did so often now days as princess serenity and future neo-queen serenity were showing through "where are those two anyway?"

"Hi guys" Luna and Artimus had just walked in the door, and were now sitting oddly close to each other on the table.

"Where have you two been?" mina asked with a sly, almost knowing smile on her face. The cats looked at each other and both turned a very bright shade of red.

"Er…busy" Artimus answered in a very nervous and uneven voice.

"Ah, busy" Darien chortled as he pulled his young wife closer to him.

"YOU DON'T THINK… ME…HIM!!" With these words Luna and Artimus sprang apart like they had springs up their bottoms.

"No, Luna, we'd never dream of think that you two would…"

"That's enough, Lita, you know what I think of Artimus! I think he's a complete fur head!"

"That's not what you called me this morning," Artimus said to Luna, trying to whisper but his excitement mad it very hard.

"And what did he call you this morning?" asked mina in an innocent tone, but with not so innocent implications.

"Well…I…you see…we…umm" stammered Artimus

"I called him a nitwit," Luna said as a hurried cover-up.

"Yeah, what ever you say" ami said, very unconvinced.

"However much I'm enjoying making our guardians squirm," said Serena "but we do have a bigger problems, like the new nega-verse threat"

"Meatball heads right," Rei said getting up and being to pace back and forth " we need to find out who they are, and why there here"

"Agreed" the others said in unison.

"Alright, Ami I want you to use your computer to determine their origin" Serena began giving orders to the scouts "Rei I want you to do a fire reading and find out what you can about their plans, Lita, mina, I want you two to do nightly patrols, but stay together I don't want either of you alone and vulnerable. I'll use the crystal to try and increase our power levels (I'm not sure if he can do that, I just thing it would be cool if she could!), that thing was strong and from past experience, they only get stronger" the others nodded in agreement.

"What about me?" asked Darien.

"Your job is to guard Reni, watch her at school, home, 24/7, there's a chance they may be here to kidnap or even kill her! And if thy touch eve a hair on her head than I will personally make sure that she is the last child you will ever HAVE!!" and with that terrifying speech they all went to fulfil there orders, after making arrangements for a training session the next evening, that is.

To be continued…

Granted it's a little short but I thought that a little was better than nothing at all. More coming soon. ^-^!

P.S- 1-if anyone has an idea for a name of a bad guy then either post it as a review or e-mail it to me (my e-mail is lizzie13@sailormoon.com)

2-in the future I will be posting messages etc. on my reviews so if I haven't updated in a while you'll probably find the reason there.

Ja ne.
