Note: I will end this soon… more from Les Miserables…

Invasion

            Well, they're here. The Sailor Scouts. My suspicions confirmed. Wiseman is holding them off quite well. Sailor Moon. She must be Serenity from the past. So alike. So beautiful. So… strange! I must have her. Yes, I must. She's following a path now that'll lead her to me… I await her with a bushel of white roses, personally picked in my secret garden. I've made sure that the room is in perfect condition, a clean romantic place where I can woo her to my side.

            … Ah, she walks in… all alone and distressed…

            The pretty blonde sailor scout walked in, her eyes wide and slightly fearful. "Sailor Mars? Jupiter? Anyone? Where are you?"

            "Sailor Moon…" a voice echoed.

            The scout looked around and brought herself to a stop. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked determinedly around. "Show yourself. You're a coward to hide in the shadows!"

            Demando appeared behind Sailor Moon. "Behind you, Sailor Moon."

            The scout turned sharply around and quickly gained fighting stance. "Prince Demando! What have you done to my friends?!!"

            "Your fellow scouts? Nothing. I haven't met them at all, my dear. We're alone, aren't we?"

            "How could you attack the Earth?" Sailor Moon demanded.

            Prince Demando sighed. "Let's not think about that right now…"

            "No, how could you use innocent people like that?" she cried.

            The prince sighed. "We only wanted to be accepted once again. We were banished year ago…"

            "Why didn't you just ask? You could be like the Ayakashi sisters…they became one of us…and they're all happy. They're loved…."

            "Do you love me?" Demando asked softly as he gazed into Sailor Moon's eyes…

            The scout didn't respond. Her eyes were level with his. She felt herself swoon slightly…

            ..the third eye was open…

            "Sailor Moon, Serenity, be my queen…"

            "I love you with all my heart….."

            "I must have you….we can live today happily ever after…"

            The scout's body went limp as her knees gave way. "Demando…"

            "We can make the Earth a beautiful place again and forget these petty conflicts…"

            She was slipping. Her body was so weak. She couldn't even support herself…then all of a sudden, it was over.

            "Leave her alone, Demando!"

            Sailor Moon looked up. "Oh, Tuxedo Mask!" Her eyes almost teared. "My hero!"

            Prince Demando narrowed his eyes. "Tuxedo Mask…"

I adore her

But everyday I'm learning

All my life, I've only been trying

Without me her world will go on turning

A world that's full of happiness that I have

Never known.
