Chapter: 3~TOO MANY FLAMINGOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: G

Summary: Serena is forced to join a reading club at her school due to her below average reading grade. It doesn't help that her mortal enemy's the instructor. But when a Nega-creep with "special" powers attacks in the middle of a meeting, the world becomes a Sleeping Beauty story (YES, Sleeping Beauty, NOT Cinderella. That is SO cliché.) with a MAJOR twist (and a little bit of butt kicking, of course ^^).

Genre: U & M Romance/Comedy/Alternate Reality

Disclaimer: Jessi-chan doesn't own Sailor Moon, I don't own Sailor Moon, SO WHO DOES? That's easy, Sailor Moon is owned by Ms. Naoko Takeucki (Don't even THINK of asking me pronounce that!) and I would be bored out of my mind right now if she hadn't created the short-skirted superhero. But she did, so now I'm relieving people who really ARE bored out of their mind of their boredom. Sleeping Beauty and Robin Hood aren't mine, they belong to Disney, I think. The line Rei repeats over and over till you all want to scream belongs to Loony Toons, I think, and I'm through rambling now (I think...).

Contrary to popular belief, I, Mstar/Mary-chan, am not the only person writing this story. Mystic Moon/Jessi-chan gives me ideas (not all good ones...) and is also black-mailing me but I get my revenge by making her look like an idiot (which she is ^^)... Anyway, if you burst a gut reading this story or are so annoyed by Rei that you're sent to the hospital from mental scaring (that might be caused from something in this story other than Rei), YOU CAN'T SUE ME!!!!! You were warned that this was a comedy and at the top of chapter 2, I stated clearly that this story could drop your IQ, and I'm broke in the 1st place. This is the last chapter, and I know it's short, but don't fret, there's going to be an epilogue. ..... denotes thought and *.....* are author's notes.

Is it just me or is this cheese green? Darien looked down at his "dinner", wondering if the cheese he was given was edible. Currently, he was in a cell in the evil fairy's castle. Actually, the evil "fairy" was a Nega-creep by the name of Fantasia. *For those clueless few, READ THE OTHER CHAPTERS!!!* Where are the 3 good fairies?

Now we haven't mentioned Mina/Flora, Lita/Fawna, and Amy/Merriweather in a while have we? Well, when they saw what had happened to Serena, they laid her on a luxurious bed in the highest room in the tallest tower of the castle, put a wall of thorned vines around the castle, and made everyone in the kingdom fall asleep, you know the rest, and then set off to rescue Darien. "What took y'all so long?" Darien asked when they finally popped in. "You knew we were coming?" inquired a surprised Amy/Merriweather. "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I guessed!" "Oooooooooooookay..." *Have y'all seen the Disney movie of Sleeping Beauty? If not, WATCH IT!* The fairies made a sword and shield appear out of thin air and gave them to Darien. With that, the fairies popped themselves and Darien out of his cell. You all know what happens next~Darien battles hoards of pink flamingoes, the flamingoes pour pots cheese dip on Darien, the fairies turn it into a rainbow, the flamingoes dump chunks of stinky cheese on Darien, the fairies turn it into flowers, etc. Anyway, they escape. The evil "fairy" gets mad and chases after them. Darien cut a path through the wall of thorns and made his way to the castle. Alright, now some stuff that hopefully you didn't expect. *You're extremely messed up if you did.* Suddenly, out of the blue, a GIANT pink flamingo dropped from the sky. "Dragons are SO cliché..." it said. "Fantasia!" Darien yelled in disbelief. "In the flesh," she replied as she looked down at Darien. "Or should I say feathers?" Without warning, pink flames shot out of her mouth, strait at Darien! If it wasn't for his shield, Darien would've been toast! "Great!!! Just what I need!!! A fire-breathing flamingo!!!" "Ironic isn't it?" Fantasia said as she ruffled her feathers. "Oh! By the waaaaaaaaaaaaay... Flamingoes, attack!!!" Out of what seemed like nowhere, flamingoes upon flamingoes appeared and started attacking Darien and the fairies. An hour passed of Darien beheading flamingoes and dodging flames when once again Rei appeared saying, "Have no worries, have no fear-," "Robin Hood will soon be here!" Darien finished for her as he chopped a flamingo in half. "Well WHERE is he?" "Right there!" Rei shouted as she pointed towards the castle. The battle ensuing froze and everyone froze to look where she was pointing. Standing on the castle roof, dressed as Robin Hood, was Andrew. "What the-HOW IN THE WORLD DID ANDREW GET IN THIS? HE'S NOT IN THE READING CLUB!!!" "I have no idea," Fantasia replied, equally shocked. "And I'm not going ask." During the brief pause in the battle, "Robin Hood" took the opportunity to put an arrow on his bow, and shoot it strait into Fantasia's heart (if she has one...). "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she shrieked. She fell to the ground and all the flamingoes disappeared. Darien looked fairly surprised. How anti-climatic... Darien stood up tall and saluted Andrew/Robin Hood, and ran towards the castle.

Serena stared out the tower window at the dead body of Fantasia. She figured, since Fantasia was dead, most of the spell was broken. MOST. Serves her right... I never got my cheese!!! She heard footsteps and quickly pretended to be asleep. Darien opened the door to the tower. He saw Serena lying there, so peaceful, so serene. Serene~Serena...Hmmmmmmmmm. He walked towards her. Finally, I get to kiss her. Serena peeked open an eye barely. Finally, he gets to kiss me. Darien sat down on the bed and leaned over and- "Tra la, la, la, la, oh my, my, you gotta kiss the girl, you gotta kiss the girl!" *This song is also owned by Disney, I think...* Darien turned around to see Mina/Flora holding a CD player playing the song from The Little Mermaid. *Owned by Disney, I think... Know what? I think waaaaaaaaaaaay too much!* "Wrong story!" Serena and Darien said in unison. "I was just trying to set the mood!" Mina/Flora huffed and she flew out the window. "You're awake?!" Darien inquired. Serena sighed and answered, "Yes! Now shut up and kiss me!" Darien leaned over once more and this time, made

contact ^^. Serena wrapped her arms around Darien's neck, pressing in further. The background swirled around them and they found themselves as Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, sitting on the teacher's desk in the reading club room, still locked in a heated kiss. They looked up at the clock and were shocked by the fact that hardly any time had passed since they left. Serena sighed with relief. I guess it was just a plot to kill us. They looked around and saw the Sailor Scouts and the other members of the reading club coming to. Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon detransformed and Darien replied, "I am NEVER eating cheese again." Serena smiled and once more Darien pulled her into a kiss to end all kisses.
