"Did you hear?" "There's going to be a fabulous ball!"

This was what Serena and Molly were hearing walking home from school. "What ball?" Serena asked Molly.

Molly shrugged her shoulders "Dunno. But if there's a ball, we have to SHOP!!!!" Molly grabbed Serena's arm and they ran to the mall.

They got there and went straight to Macy's. Molly went towards the cocktail dresses and Serena laughed. She walked around the store for a while until she saw Raye.

"Hey, Raye!" Serena exclaimed.

Raye turned and smiled. "Hey, Serena. What's up?"

"Nothing. Molly dragged me here, then ditched me."

They laughed and walked towards the dresses. "So, what's been up with you?" Serena asked.

"Nothing, just trying to juggle school, the temple and scout fighting. You?" Raye asked.

"Same. Except for the temple." Serena laughed.

Raye laughed with her. "So, why are you shopping?"

Serena sighed and said "There's a ball tonight and Molly wants to go."

"Cool." Raye said. They started walking through the dresses. Serena found the cutest dress in the world. She reached for it and hit someone's hand. "Sorry."

"It's OK."

Serena looked up and fell into a pair of deep blue eyes. It was Jedite! But Serena didn't realize it. He was in yet another disguise, this time as:

"Hi, I'm James." he drawled out, in a British voice.

Serena felt herself melting. She just shook his hand and said "Hi, I'm Serena."

He smiled and Serena knew she was gone. If his eyes or voice didn't it, his smile definitely did. They stood there smiling at each other, like idiots.

"Serena! Where are you?" they heard Raye and Molly call out.

"Shit, better go." 'James' thought. "See you later at the ball." he drawled out as he left.

Serena just stood there, with her mouth open, nodding.

"Serena, what's up?" Raye asked, with Molly behind her.

Serena didn't seem to hear them, she just walked off in a daze. The two girls exchanged looks and Raye had a bad feeling about it.

So she called a meeting at her temple. Amy, Lita, and Luna arrived, but no Serena.

"She's finding a dress for the ball. Since she came home from the mall, she's been in a daze." Luna explained.

"I think this is the enemy." Raye suggested.

The others agreed with her. "Who is the enemy anyway, Luna?" Amy asked.

"The enemy is the Negaverse. They are ran by Queen Beryl and they are after energy. They want to find the Silver Crystal." Luna started.

"The Silver Crystal?" Lita asked.

"The Silver Crystal is a powerful weapon. Queen Serenity used it to seal away the Negaverse." Luna explained.

"Who's Queen Serenity?" Amy asked.

"She was the Queen of the Moon and her daughter, the Moon Princess, is who we need to find." Luna finished.

The girls nodded. "I think we should go to the ball to make sure Serena's going to be fine." Raye suggested. They all agreed and went to get ready for the ball.

Meanwhile, Serena was throwing every dress out of her closet, trying to find the perfect one. "All my dresses are plain!" she cried.

"Why do you care?" Luna jumped up.

"Cuz I've found my Prince Charming. Oh, Luna, he is dreamy. He has deep blue eyes, a sexy British voice, and his smile...wow. That's all I can say." Serena sighed.

Luna shook her head "Serena, this might be the enemy. You have to be on guard."

"Oh Luna, it's always the enemy. You need to learn to chill." Serena groaned.

"I'm usually right!" Luna cried out, but Serena had gone back to searching. Luna sighed and ran downstairs. She saw a picture in the newspaper of the princess. It talked about a crystal she was showing off. "Maybe this princess is the one with the crystal." she thought.

Serena's phone went off. She answered it "Hello?"

"Hey." a very depressed Molly answered.

"What's wrong?" Serena asked, still looking for a dress.

"I can't go to the ball!" Molly cried.

"That sucks." Serena comforted.

"I know. Are you going?" Molly asked.

"Definitely. I meet this cute guy. His name is James." Serena sighed.

Molly laughed "James. What a funny name."

"I think it's adorable. Gotta go find a dress."

Molly was still laughing "Have fun with James." she hung up.

Serena glared at the phone. "Don't worry, I will."

The night of the ball, Serena showed up in a plain dress. She was sighing and wishing with all her might, she could make a new beautiful dress. Then she remembered she could. She pulled out the Luna Pen and raised it up "Disguise Power, turn me into the foxiest femme around!" She came out with a big, white dress on. Her hair was all made up in the same pigtails, but fancier. And she had a parasol.

"Oh my God. This is still cool." Serena said, looking at her outfit. She walked in and looked around. "Everyone's in masks." she thought, grinning. She sat down and waited for her James.

A half hour later, she was still waiting. "He'll be here. He probably had to do something," A hour later, she was still waiting, though not as gleeful. "He'll be here. He just stopped to get flowers for me or something." A hour and a half later, she was close to crying. "Why does this always happen to me? A guy I like is either taken or doesn't show up!"

"May I have this dance?"

Serena looked up to her beloved Tuxedo Mask, without the hat or cape. She was shocked, but happy. She put her hand in his and they went to dancing.

"Oh my God. I'm dancing with Tuxedo Mask! Hope I don't trip." she thought gleefully. "Why does this feel so familiar?"

"She looks just like the girl in my dream." Tuxedo Mask thought. "Though it feels like we've done this before."

They danced in happy bliss, until an alarm went off. They stopped dancing and Luna jumped on Serena's shoulder.

"It's the Negaverse!" she exclaimed quietly.

"Who?" Serena asked her.

"Explain later. You have to save the princess." Luna ordered.

Serena nodded. Turning towards Tuxedo Mask, "I'm so sorry. I gotta go find my friends. Thank you for the dance." she ran off.

Serena ran up the stairs and into the princess' room. The princess was ready to give her crystal to Nephlite, when Serena exclaimed "You can't give that to him! He's evil!" Serena tried to grab the box with the crystal, but the princess' pushed her off the balcony. "AAAAA!!!!" Serena exclaimed as she fell to her death.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed hers. She looked up and saw "Tuxedo Mask, pleaz don't let go! "Have I ever let you done before?" he grunted.

"How sweet. Too bad you'll both die." the princess growled, pushing Mask and Serena off the balcony.

"Hold on!" Serena exclaimed to Mask. She opened her parasol and they floated to the ground.

Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter arrived a minute later. Mask was about to leave, when Mercury stopped him "Why do you want that crystal?"

"Cuz then I'll know who I am. Until then, we're enemies!" he exclaimed, running off.

Serena teared up "Enemies? Never." she murmured.

"Girl, wake up and transform!" Jupiter exclaimed.

Serena nodded "Moon Prism POWER!"

"Come on. Throw the crystal down!" Nephlite tempted the princess.

She was about to when the scouts came. "Don't do that! He's evil and will use it for evil!" Sailor Moon exclaimed.

The princess thought about it. Suddenly a black fog came outta her and she fell to the ground. The scouts caught her and Nephlite growled and left.

"Are you our princess?" Luna asked.

The princess rubbed her eyes "Who are you?" She found her glasses and looked around.

Luna asked again "Are you our princess?"

"Your talked!" she screamed and ran back inside.

Luna shook her head. "No, the princess would have known about me. Let's go."

The girls sighed and walked home.

Back at Darien's apartment, Tuxedo Mask stood on the roof. He was holding a rose. In a flash of light, Darien was standing on the roof. He looked at the rose "So I am Tuxedo Mask. That explains a lot. But who is that girl? he thought going inside.

Later that night, both Serena and Darien dreamed about Tuxedo Mask kissing the 'princess' Serena. In the dream, they both thought "Maybe one day we'll meet outside our dreams."

How cute! OK, I'm almost done. It gets really interesting in the next couple of chapters, so stay tune! Pleaz RR
