**I do not own any kind of part of Sailor Moon**
The Unexpected: Episode 2
-----------
"AttenTION!"
The scouts whirled around, startled. Their eyes met the sight of Amara standing straight with a cardboard wrapping paper roll in the position of a gun, pointing up.
"All right, troops. About FACE!"
They stared for a moment. Amara slid down her sunglasses, and looked annoyed. "Play along already. Sheesh."
Mina laughed. She snapped to attention, saluting.
"MA'AM, YES, MA'AM!"
Amara smiled appreciatively. She waited expectantly. The other Senshi reluctantly followed suit and stood next to Mina.
"For a long month, our wards have been acting strangely. Though try as we might, we cannot figure it out. And our feline advisors withhold information from us."
(AN: Luna cackles insanely, doing that hilarious manga psycho cat look. ^.^)
"Well, I for one, want to know what's going on." She pouted. "No one leaves Amara out of the loop!" She became "serious" again.
"It is zero hour, troops. We have a prince and a princess who have been acting weird for a whole month now and I want to know what's up. So I have arranged a mission for the Inner members of the Squad because some of us must stay behind to keep a look out."
This got the Inners' attention.
"Now, after careful observation, it has been concluded that the couple in question are heading down to their beach house today. We don't know why, but you are going to follow them and figure out what's up." ----------------
Serena and Darien walked hand-in-hand through the aisles of the baby store. Most of the time they stayed silent, smiles never leaving their lips.
Finally, Darien spoke. "You know, we should go ahead buy some of this stuff since we have to equip the beach house and the house back home! How's that sound?"
Serena squealed, reminding Darien of the way she used to be. Those days were long gone, and every day she became more like Princess Serenity. "Oh, let's!" Serena cried, happily. (AN: He's a doctor, remember! They have loads of money!)
They snagged a buggy and began perusing the aisles. Little did they know they were being followed and watched by foes they knew well.
--------------
Amy stood firm. The other Inners, save Raye, were pleading at her ankles.
"Come on, Amy! If we teleport, we'll get there faster! You want to know the secret, too, don't you?!" Mina begged.
(AN: Tut, tut, Senshi, ya'll are slow.)
Amy huffed. "Of course, but using our powers for silly reasons such as this isn't ethical!" she declared in her high, lilting voice. "Only if they were in danger would I agree to do this, and we have no reason to suspect trouble!"
Lita stood, getting annoyed at her friend. "No reason to suspect danger? What would you call that youma from last night?"
Amy remained silent, refusing to yield.
Finally, Raye, watching aloofly from off to the side, decided to add her thoughts. "Lita does have a point, Amy. It is strange that the youma didn't even try to attack Sailor Moon last night. When this has happened in the past, it usually means that she is what they are after. This would have been proven, I assume, had Eternal Sailor Moon not destroyed it swiftly." Giving her comrades a look, she continued. "We are guardians of Princess Serenity. And no matter what she may be hiding, I say we teleport so that we can find her and protect them both. An omen hangs in the air; it is not a benevolent one."
Mina and Lita stood, gazing at Raye. Raye was right. It was strange and ominous. Their thoughts turned towards their duties and not their curiosity.
Amy spoke. "It seems Raye has a point. It seems danger will befall our princess soon, and it is logical for us, her guardians, to go and protect her. I yield, and will begin searching for their energies so we can teleport." Amy left.
The solemn air immediately left the room. Mina grinned. "How'd you think of all that so fast, Raye?"
Raye tried her best, but a smile cracked. "I've known Amy a little longer than you guys. Her sense of responsibility and conscience is strong and difficult to waver. But, as I'm sure you can tell, she's dying to find out what their hiding as well! Or else she wouldn't have relented so easily. I'm going crazy with curiosity, and I tried to think of something that would push her buttons."
Lita laughed. "I could tell she wanted to know! Way to go, Raye! So let's go!"
Raye's eyes remained slightly serious. "I wasn't lying, though. Everything I said was true, and I really am worried about Serena."
Lita and Mina nodded. "We know."
Mina smiled. "But let's try to keep it light around her until we know for sure!"
The other Senshi nodded, and the Princess of Beauty left in pursuit of Amy.
Lita let out a low growl. "Don't worry, Raye, we won't let anything happen to Serena. I swear it." She ran after Mina.
Raye stood by herself, pondering. "Serena, my friend, I sense your news is light and happy, but I fear solemnity has placed a heavy cloud over you yet again. I'm sorry."
After this uttering, the Princess of Fire left Raye's eyes, and she grinned mischievously and followed after her companions.
Amy smiled somberly after listening to her friends' conversation. Yes, it was true she strongly desired to know Serena's secret, but all of Raye's ponderings touched her mind as well. Like Mina suggested to the others, she, along with Lita and Raye, decided to keep it light for as long as possible.
When they were all together, the four communicated silently, understanding each other. Smiles crossed their faces one by one. Then, ringing out loudly came:
"Mercury Crystal Power!"
"Mars Crystal Power!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power!"
"Venus Crystal Power!"
"MAKE-UP!"
Then, with flashes of blue, red, orange, and green, they were gone.
------------
Back at the beach house, Serena and Darien hurriedly, and sloppily, arranged a nursery in a spare room and supplied their own room with a crib and other things, as well.
Then, with a sparkle in her eyes, Serena snagged a bathing suit out of her bag. "I won't look good in one of these for two much longer!"
Darien sniffed. "You look good in everything, no matter what," He complimented her with a soft smile.
Serena blushed, and allowed him to wrap his arms around her. Warm and protected, she sighed into his embrace. He chuckled out of bliss, and lifted her chin to borrow a kiss. She looked up and happiness smiled in her eyes.
"I love you, Endymion." The name augmented the gentle passion in her voice.
"And I, you, Serenity." Here, Serena responded with her own soft kisses. When they finally pulled from each other, Serena produced a picnic basket. Darien didn't bother wondering where it came from. When married to an all- powerful princess, one gets used to such things.
Hand in hand, they proceeded to the coast, and after a lighthearted and teasingly romantic swim, returned to their umbrella, though the sun was retiring, for a picnic dinner. And picnics provided by an invincible Moon Princess are never interrupted or disturbed in any way.
Darien noticed with a grin that Serena did eat more than usual, since her old eating habits had long since exited. It was one of the few signs of pregnancy he'd seen in her. 'A blessing from the senshi powers,' he thought, impishly.
As they munched, they chatted. They discussed if this was indeed Rini or perhaps an older sibling of hers. Rini was of course forbidden to mention some things during her stay, so it wasn't impossible. After they ate, they curled into the sand together since beachgoers were leaving as it had gotten dark a good hour and a half ago.
Whispering tender loves to each other, they sang along with the ocean's song.
--------
"AMIIEEE!!!!!" Raye screamed, thrashing around in the water. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
Amy easily treaded water, practically effortlessly, and watched amused as Raye, element fire, thrash crazily around in the water.
"I'M DROWNING!"
Ignoring her, Amy explained to Lita, who expertly floated, and Mina, who dog-paddled, "Calculations said they were on the beach so I set our teleport for the ocean so we wouldn't be seen."
"Cool!" Mina said, flashing a quick thumbs up, before returning her hand to dog paddling. Lita nodded agreement.
"STILL DROWNING HERE!"
Amy observed the wildly thrashing Princess of Fire. "How suitable. Raye's element is fire, and therefore, she is easily alarmed by water." Similar to my small fear of fire, she added to herself.
"I AM GOING TO DIE!"
With a giggle and a curious audience, Amy pointed a delicate finger at Raye. A bubble formed around her, leaving only her head outside of it. Raye continued to thrash for several minutes before she realized she was floating. She sulked, and allowed herself to be guided to shore by Amy and pretended not to hear the loud cackles of Mina and Lita.
Finally, after swimming a good distance, Lita spotted them. "Aw, look, they're napping in the sand. How CUTE!"
Excitedly, Mina declared, "Let's go after them, quick, and figure this out!" They swam for a ways, and then, when close to shore, Mina got that freaky anime mischievous look, and pointed a slender finger and long, sharp fingernail at Raye.
"MINA, IF YOU DARE-!" Raye began.
POP!
"AMIEEE! LITAAAA! HELP. I'M DROWNING!"
This went on for about a minute. Then, Raye dared to open her eyes while thrashing, and found Mina, Amy, and Lita standing over her as she flailed around in the tide pool. She stood, quickly, a fiery blush gracing her cheeks.
"Not one word," she ordered and led the giggling senshi towards the Prince and Princess, unaware of the eyes watching them all.
