The Truth Chapter 3

8:00am "Samara wake up!!!!!!" Samara's mom was shaking Samara awake. "Mom?" "Its 8:00am your late for school!" Samara jumped out of bed dressed, brushed teeth grabbed lunch and yelled bye to her mother then disappeared out the door. She ran down the street with a sleepy Stardust about 2 feet back who was trying to tell her something but Samara wouldn't listen. Samara got to school and couldn't open the door. "Huh?" "Samara I've been trying to tell you, it's Saturday." "I know!" "You don't have school on Saturday." "We don't? But where I went to school it was Monday-Saturday." "Not here Samara." "Oh man and now I'm wide awake. What do you think about breakfast?" "That sounds great Samara." So they walked off to find a place to eat. So they found Pancakes and walked inside. Inside was bright; there was a cashier at the door and tables against the walls, a fish tank in the middle and restrooms to the left and the kitchen to the right. And fake plants and tree everywhere. They walked in and sat at a table that was partly hidden by some plants and a tree. A lady came to the table and handed Samara a menu. She looked at the cat, smiled and scratch her behind the ear and said, "Don't let the manger see her. What would you like to drink?" "I will take green tea and saucer of warm milk for her." "OK" and she walked off.

She laid the menu open on the table so Stardust could see as well. They decided on 4 pancakes, 6 sausages, toast, and ice-cold milk to come with the meal. When the lady came with their drinks she took their order and left again. They sat in silent, while Samara was sipping her tea. "Samara?" Samara looked up into the face of Darien. "Darien! Hello" she stood and hugged Darien in he returned the hugged. "Your up early." "Ya I am. I got up for school, I didn't know the schools here aren't open on Saturday like my old school." "School on a Saturday?" "Yup. Oh I'm being rude. Have a seat." Darien sat down at the table and started petting Stardust; who was enjoying it. The lady came to ask what Darien wanted to drink and if he was ready to order. "Milk and the pancake combo" "Very well" she walked off. "Damn school on a Saturday" "I know." Darien stopped petting Stardust and leaned back in the seat. Soon there breakfast came. Darien had 2 pancakes, 4 sausages, 2 slices of toast and a 3-eggs omelet with cheese, pepper, and beacon.

They ate there breakfast, Stardust got her milk, plus one pancake, and 2 sausages from Samara's order. "So why are you up early Darien?" "I'm always wake up early unless I've stay up late the day before studying or something." "Hmm. I sometimes wake early, but now always."

They finished breakfast got they bill and went up to pay. Darien took Samara's bill and pay for her. "Darien! Why did you do that?" she asked as they walked out. "I wanted to" "Well don't do the again, OK?" But he didn't answer just said, "Want to go to the Tree Festival?" "Um.... OK. That sounds fun." They started walked to the park "Darien what were you think about yesterday? You looked so serious." "When?" "At the temple" "Well...nothing" "Come on Darien please. I might be able to help." "Hmm." he thought about it "...Ok. I'm not sure I still love Serena" "Is that all? Well don't worry that's nothing. Look everyone has that at some point. Just stay away from her for a while and if you love her, you will know. You will feel like you need her, can't live without her. Or Stay away from her for a while then invite her on a date then when you look at her you will know." He thought about it. "I will try the first one, and see what happens. Thanks Samara" "No problem" She said. Soon they were there and the place was full of game booths, food stands, rides and music. Darien took her by the wrist and leads her to a game both with 10 fake trees in a row. He pays for two people. And Samara looked at him confused but he justed smiled.

"OK in this game you have to guess which tree is real. It's fun but hard. They show you the real tree pull down a curtain move them around then you have to guess" "OK this sound weird" she said and he laughed a bit. The man pointed out the tree pull down a curtain too thick to even see a shadow, and then pulled it back up. "Sir you go first." Darien though, then pointed the 3 trees down from the right, he was wrong. "Ma'am you next can you guess the real tree?" Samara thought and looked for anything that would give away the real one. She looked down the line. The first 4 from the left to right she could see the plastic stems, the 5 one she thought was it but saw it was see thru leaves, the 6 was the tree but she check the others in case. "It's that one here." "Your right! We have a winner!" he pulled out 4 necklaces one with a green glass tree which glowed, with glow in the dark beads, one with just glow beads, another with glow leaves with glow beads in between. The last one was gold beads, glow beads and a leave in the middle. She picked the first one and put it on.

They went and did a few more game. Darien got a teddy bear, which he was going to give to Serena, and a gold fish. Samara got glow bracelet, and a bouncing ball. Stardust had run off somewhere with the bouncing ball which made them both laugh. They laughed and talked. Darien bought cotton candy, which they ate while waiting in line for the swing ride, which you sat in a swing and your spin really fast and fly in the air. They got on the ride and when they got off they held on to each other so they wouldn't fall they were so dizzy. They fell down in a bench laughing. It was noon and when they calmed down Darien invited her to lunch. "No." "Huh?" "Can I take you to lunch?" Darien laugh and he knew he wouldn't win this battle "OK." They decided to go to the food shop next to the video arcade. They order some turkey sandwiches, with chips and cokes. They finished lunch and went to walk around. They walked by stores and Samara saw a clothes store she heard about it was called Tessa's Fashion. "Darien! Can we go there? Please?" she pointed to Tessa's Fashion. "Um...I guess we still have hours till the fireworks." "Fireworks?" "Yes the Tree Festival have fireworks at night its really great you will love it." "Wow! I can't wait, I love fireworks." They walked into the store, and walked to the girls junior department. A man came up to them. "How may I help you?" "Oh well I'm looking for something for the heat, something that I won't get hot in and something for when it starts to get cold." "Oh well then ma'am I think I have something in the back. One moment."

Darien sat in a chair in front of a curtained room. While Samara stood and waited. The man came with two women all of them holding clothes. Samara and Darien looked at each other, then back at the people. "I am Linda," said a lady with black hair, "I am Yugi" said the other lady with blond hair, "And I am Ducan," said the man. Linda and Yugi took Samara by the hands and lead her into the curtained room. Samara came out in a pair of blue jean hot pants with a red tube top with flowers on the edges and brown sandals. "What do you think Darien?" "I like it" "That looks great on you ma'am,"said Ducan, she smiled and went back into the room. Then she came out in a blue v cut dress which came about 3 inches above her knee, and thin straps. "You look great Samara." "It is you ma'am" "Well I'm not too happy about it. I don't really like dresses Darien. But...maybe" she walked back in. Try on a few more outfits and then finished about an hour and a half later. She took the first two outfits and two more it was blue jean, hot pants with stars and moons around the edges and a blue jean halter top with crescent moon and stars hanging from the bottom and, a pair of warm black pants, very soft material and a thick, black, soft, wool, sweater.

She paid for outfits with her credit card, they came out to be $117.43. They walked out of the store, Samara with four bags. "OK, won't your mom get mad?" "About what?" "You spending so much on clothes?" "No it's my card. I pay for it" "Darn your lucky' "Thanks" "OK I'm going to buy us something from Starbucks." Samara laughed. They walked into a Starbucks and came out with two mocha frappiccho, venti size. They sipped their drinks, walking down the street. Darien looked at his watch it was 4:37pm. "Well why don't we go to my apartment so we can get some fold-out chairs and you to call your mom." "OK Darien that's sound like a good idea." They walked to Darien apartment and walked inside. Darien was getting the chairs and handed Samara the phone. "Hello?" "Mom?" "Oh hello Samara. How was school?" "I didn't go to school. I don't have school on Saturday like back...like my old school." "You don't? That's wonderful! But where have you been all this time?" "Out with Darien." "Oh and who is Darien." "Serena's boyfriend." "Honey do you think that's wise?" "Well it's not my fault. See I didn't have school I went to get breakfast and Darien happened to walk in only a little while after me. So we ate together and he invited me to go to the Tree Festival. So we've been out all day. We've played game, ate lunch, shopped, I got four new outfits, got coffee and the fireworks are soon, so we are at Darien's place getting fold-out chair. Darien said I should call you, so you would know." "Ok well have a good time, and be good with Serena's boyfriend." "I will mom, love you bye." "Bye" They hung up.

Darien came out with two foldout chairs. They left the apartment and Samara left her bags, which she would pick up later, and they walked down the street. They got to the Tree festival; it was only 5:24pm. They rode on more rides and soon it was 8:45pm and the fireworks were about to start. They set up the chairs, and sat down. Soon the fireworks got started. "Why are these fireworks for me!!" A woman appeared in mid-air; there she floated, laughing evil. " You will serve the Dark King!" (Picture of evil girl) Darien and Samara looked at each other. They ran off into the woods and transformed. "Hey witch!!" "Who you calling a witch, sailor brat?" "You! I am Sailor Universe, Champion of Justice and Love, Protector of the Moon Princess, on behalf of the Moon and the Universe, I will right wrongs and triumph over Evil and I will be your worst nightmare!" " You my worst nightmare? No I am your worst nightmare sailor pest. "Prepare to die!!" "I would like to see you try!! Universe Silver Blade Attack!!" A sword appeared in her hands, it had a black handle with a gold crescent moon and a silver blade. From the blade came a bright silver light as Sailor Universe attacked. But it missed. "Ha! You will lose! For I am Korina!!" Kornia throw sharp crystal at Sailor Universe, which hit her. "Ah!!" Tuxedo Mask threw a rose at Kornia's hand. "Ouch! You will pay for that!" "Sailor Universe! Tuxedo Mask!" cried the sailor scouts. "Jupiter Lightning Strike!!" yelled Sailor Jupiter, her attack was on target.

"You brat!!" Kornia throw Jupiter's attack right back at her. Sending Sailor Jupiter through a tree and slammed into another, which she lay unconscious. "Sailor Jupiter!!" cried Sailor Moon. "Hey you prepare to be vapor!! Moonlight Scepter!!" Pure white/silver light hurl at Kornia. She absorbed the attack. "What that's impossible!!" "Sailor Moon you have to take her by surprise!!" yelled Sailor Mars. "Mars Fire Heat Flame!!" "Mercury Icy Water!!" Kornia absorbed Sailor Mar's attack but was hit full force by Sailor Mercury. "Ah!! Cold!!" Kornia started Shivering "Venus Heart Crystals Blast!" Kornia dodged. "Sailor Scouts attack at the same time!!" yelled Tuxedo Mask as he helped Sailor Jupiter up. "Right!" they said together.

"Moonlight Scepter!!" a jet of pure white/silver light.

"Mercury Icy Water!!" water with ice.

"Mars Fire Heat Flame!!" a jet of fire.

"Jupiter Lightning Strike!!" a bolt of lightning.

"Venus Heart Blast!!" a bunch of sharp hearts crystals.

"Universe Silver Blade Beam!!" a jet of pure silver light with stars came from the sword.

"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!! I'll be back for you, Moon Princesses!! I'll get you both!! " She disappeared. They all looked at each other. "Both?" asked Sailor Jupiter. "Princesses?" asked Sailor Mars. "Moon?" asked Sailor Moon. They were all confused. "How can there be two Moon Princesses?" ask Sailor Venus. They looked at the cats. "Well the only person who would know is Queen Samara," said Luna and Artimus and Stardust nodded. Then as if a cue, Sailor Moon's and Sailor Universe's gold crescent moons on their forehead started to glow, then Imperial Crystal Wands appeared and started spinning and so did the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask. They landed on the Moon and there in front of them was Queen Samara, waiting for them. "Serena, why are you here?" "I don't know Mom." Then Queen Samara's eyes landed on Samara, her eyes widen. "Samara!" she cried. "This can't be! What have I done?" "Mom what's wrong?" "Oh, Serena you have a sister, Samara" she pointed to Samara. "I didn't tell you before cause I didn't see her and I though that she would never come, that she never made it. So I changed the story a bit. What I told you wasn't all true." "What?" "Yes Serena, let me tell you what it was really like."

"Everything was peaceful, you had a best friend, a girl who grow up with you cause her mother, was always gone. Her name was Samara. She was in love with Prince Darien. You gazed at the earth wondering what would it be like to love someone there. I knew Earth was having trouble with some evil force and I knew it was time for everyone to know that Samara was my daughter, your twin. You were born first so Samara was taken to the other side of the Moon. I would change my looks when I was with her. Her skin, eyes, and lips changed, her skin darkened, her eyes were dark forest green, her lips the color of blood her hair was black. She was your opposite. But you two got along so well. You looked like, the same shaped eyes, nose, lips, body figure. It was all the same. 5 days before the end of the Moon I knew I had to make this public and I did. I made a grand party and told Samara whom she was. For that five day it was wonderful for the Moon kingdom. You both were in your Moon princesses' dresses. You two looked beautiful. Samara you longed to see Darien, so you could tell him, but he didn't come till the day of the Moon's end. But Samara you, where nowhere to be found.

"Darien asked Serena if she knew where you were, but she didn't. Then you danced with Serena to warn her and to ask where Samara was. But still Serena, you didn't know. Everyone thought it was Serena and Darien who were in love not Samara and Darien. Darien and Serena went out to the balcony and found Samara. Serena left them alone. Darien started to warn her of the evil force, but Samara stopped him. She already knew, I warned her, I knew she would want to fight if it came to that. Samara was train to protected Serena and was trained in the ways of a princess. They kissed and it was time to fight. Darien left and told Samara to stay with Serena. Samara found Serena. She told her that she had to fight she had to protect Serena; she was the heir to the thrown. She told Serena if she saw Darien to tell him she loved him with all her heart. With that she transform and ran into battle. Then Queen Beryl appeared. "Where is you sister and her boyfriend?" Beryl asked. Then Darien appeared and covered Serena with his cape. Queen Beryl asked Darien where Samara was and why he stayed with her and not with the heir of the thrown. And why not with her. Then you know the rest, Darien was about to be killed, you jumped yelled no he can't go that Samara needed him that she said that she loved him with all her heart. Then you were both gone.

"While Samara was fighting and she saw what happened and started fight Queen Barrel. I thought she was going to win; she was beating her. She was using all her love, and angry to fight. Then from behind Malachite stabbed her in the back. She fell down to her knees; Beryl threw an attack at her. She knew she was going to die but not on the ground. She looked at her mother mouthed I love you then looked at Serena and Darien and mouthed I love you, to the both of them. Samara looked down and whispered I love you all and she stood swayed on her feet and attack again with all her might. But she was not able to. I cried out, no she took them both. Then I looked at Samara and her Imperial Crystal Wand, which I made float to me. I made my wand and her become one, a gold and pink handle which glittered black and gold crescent moon which glittered silver. With them together, the Imperial Crystal was stronger and brighter. With it I rid of Queen Beryl and send you all to Earth. I told you something different cause I didn't see Samara I thought she would never come, that some how she didn't make it. So I had you and Darien be together but it was Samara and Darien. I'm so sorry Serena"

Serena's eyes were wide she face blank then she smiled, "It's OK. I could feel myself slipping from Darien. I see why." "I'm glad. Oh my goodness! Its time for you all to return home" replied Queen Samara and with that they left the Moon and appeared at the Tree Festival grounds, which was now abandoned. They all looked at Darien and Serena, but they seemed fine. Serena was smiling and so was Darien. "I'm hungry!" exclaimed Sailor Moon, "lets go eat!" They untransformed. Darien walked up to Samara, "How do you feel?" "I don't know. I'm a Moon Princess and I'm with you. I'm afraid for Serena." He nodded. They went to a cafe and ate. Soon they all went home, happy and in high spirit, even Serena. She joked about Darien and Samara about when are they going making kissy faces at each other. And Samara wanted to slap her. "Serena!!" "What! You know you want him to kiss you!" Samara blushed, then Darien put his arms around Samara and they kissed with the rest screaming with joy. Serena was the loudest.
