Episode Three: The Unexpected
__________________________________________
Raye was still incredibly embarrassed and embarrassment meant anger when it came to Raye. So she stomped up the shore, steam coming from her ears and a blush flaring up in her cheek.
Serena and Darien were waiting for them. Raye immediately noticed furiously that Serena was doing her best to keep a straight face. This embarrassed and angered Raye more. She glared down at the couple, curled together.
"All right!" she roared. "I have you cornered! THERE IS NO ESCAPE!"
Serena burst out giggling, along with the other Senshi, who hovered behind Raye. Darien even couldn't stop a hearty laugh. Raye ignored all of them.
"Now that I have you right where I want you, you will tell me what's going on before I fry you both!"
Just as Serena began to speak, an arrow flew through the air and embedded itself in Serena's skirt, conveniently missing the flesh of her leg.
"Later, Raye," Serena hissed, all giggle out of her. In one fluid motion she ripped the arrow from her skirt, stood, and transformed.
"Moon Eternal, Make Up!" And in a flash of stardust, the winged Senshi of Love stood before them, Tuxedo Mask at her side.
Sailor Moon scanned the sky for the archer. The moon's glow helped, but she couldn't find him. The transformed Senshi joined her.
"Did anyone see where he went?" Tuxedo Mask wondered, enraged at the close call.
Suddenly, Sailor Moon heard a sound above their heads. "Jump!" she cried, grabbing Tuxedo Mask and diving as far away as she could to the ground. Without thinking, the Senshi did the same. When Tuxedo Mask turned, he watched the net fall harmlessly to the ground.
"Show yourself, coward!" Sailor Mars called threateningly. "I'll show you how to use a bow and arrow!"
The sound of surf was the only noise.
Suddenly, "HEY!" came from Tuxedo Mask. He fell to the ground as an arrow with rope trailing from it encircled his torso, and tightened lightning fast!
"Prince!"
Out of the corner of her eye, Mercury saw Sailor Moon. Surprisingly, the young woman kept her calm, and ran through the darkness to the source of the rope. She soon disappeared.
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!"
The razor sharp leaves of the Wreath of Thunder easily severed the rope. Tuxedo Mask, more embarrassed than hurt, stood quickly and brushed the sand from his tux. He quickly found Sailor Moon absent.
"She went after him," Mercury admonished.
Just as she finished speaking, two shadows erupted from the water.
"Venus!" Sailor Moon cried, in close pursuit of the culprit.
"Got it!" Venus told her with a wink. "Venus Love-Me Chain!"
She missed.
"You missed?!" Mars raged. "For crying out loud!"
Venus pouted. "Gimme a break."
Sailor Moon continued to chase the archer from the air. Sparkling, silver fog-like energy occasionally burst from her staff. Suddenly, the youma turned, and began opening fire on Sailor Moon. She had a hunch, and stopped moving.
"Serena!" Tuxedo Mask cried.
Every single arrow whizzed past her. Some even pierced her skirt, but the archer did not harm her.
"What?" Jupiter wondered, stumped.
"Get him, Venus!" Mercury cried, exasperated. "He's preparing to escape!"
"Oh, no you don't! Not this time or I'll never hear the end of it from Raye! Venus Love and Beauty Shock!"
This time, Venus was able to catch the archer in her chain. She yanked him from the air and he fell hard to the ground.
"Hah, Mars!" she cried triumphantly.
Sailor Moon landed, and knelt beside the archer, a disgusting creature. She placed her staff right under his chin. She gazed into his eyes and found nothing but evil.
"Who sent you?!" she demanded. She received only a garbled laugh. "WHO?!"
The youma cackled. "They are coming for you and your pathetic prince, Serenity! HAH HAH HAH!"
Annoyed, Sailor Moon easily destroyed the monster. She kicked at its dust with distaste. "Pathetic prince, yeah right!" she said playfully, snagging Tuxedo Mask's arm and lightening the mood. He smiled down at her.
Annoyed at the lack of information they received, the senshi practically stomped after the couple to their beach house. They detransformed in an alley. When they reached the beach house, Serena hurried in and shut a few doors. Raye watched suspiciously.
"Don't go in there; it's way messy." Serena ordered.
Raye motioned to the others. They surrounded the couple, forcing them onto a couch. Raye took control.
"All right, Serena. Darien. You are not leaving this couch until you tell us what in the world is going on!" she screamed.
Darien laughed as Serena burst into giggles.
"NOW!" The Princess of Anger roared.
Serena tried to calm herself long enough to breathe. Finally, she regained composure. "Ok. But to show you, I must be allowed off the couch."
Raye stepped aside with a growl, ignoring Darien's laughing. Serena told them to stay put so she could make sure everything was ready. Finally, she motioned them into their bedroom, light carefully off. Darien followed. Serena motioned for him to cover his ears. Grinning, he complied. She covered her own, then said, "Now promise you will not scream!"
Agitated, the four girls agreed. "I'm about a month along," Serena said flipping on the light, revealing a bedroom filled with baby paraphernalia. All four girls, after staring for a moment, broke their promise.
