Meet the Past Chapter 1
Ray walked down the busy street to the Crossroads Park. She was wearing her priestess robes under a light, brown windbreaker. Ray had just seen Amy going home from the arcade. The priestess was on her way to the park on this cool spring day because she thought it was relaxing. The flowers were in bloom because it was May, so the park smelled great. Also she also brought plenty of different types of charms with her. The first time she had gone to the park that spring many people had wanted to by charms from 'the priestess in the park' but she hadn't brought any with her to sell. Since then she had been prepared with good luck charms, love charms, fireball charms, and many others types.
Ray walked into the park to and turned the corner to get into the rose garden. Usually she would walk past this garden and walk to a little waterfall in the middle of the park where she would meditate, but today she had heard what sounded like desperate crying coming from the rose garden. She looked into the garden, wondering who or what she would find.
Ray gasped in surprised to see it was Bunny who was sobbing passionately there and even more surprised to see her wearing an old fashion pink formal dress. "Bunny she cried running over to the crying girl, "What's the matter? Did someone hurt you? Why are you dressed in that weird old dress?" Serenity looked up. Her eyes were red and glossy from crying. Her tears slid down her face like a waterfall. "Mars you know why I'm crying! You and Jupiter are the reason! Go-" Serenity got her first glance of where she was. "Where am I Mars?" "Stop using that name!" Ray hissed looking around to make sure no one heard what Bunny was saying, "Do you want us to be found out! And you know where you are, you're in the Crossroads Park." "But Ma-" "Ray" "Ray, I don't know where that is! I want to go home!" Serenity cried. She pulled herself into a tiny ball and cried harder.
Ray looked over the pink full-length formal dress with frills and bows. It was weird. People would stare. You just didn't see dresses like this everyday. Sighing Ray took off her coat. "You can come home with me Bunny, just put this coat on over that dress. It's weird. I don't want people to stare at us. Serenity got up. Her bangs hid her crescent moon on her forehead well because they were wet from crying and stuck to her forehead. Ray didn't notice it. She took the coat from her and put it on over her dress. Gently Ray pulled Serenity into a standing position and led her towards the temple.
When they got there Ray took out a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt from her dresser. "Why don't you get out of that dress and wear this. You can take a nap here. You'll feel better after you wake up." Ray said kindly. "Thanks Ma- Ray." Serenity said sniffling. Ray left the room.
She called everyone on their communicators. "Please get over here guys! Bunny's acting all weird and she's was wearing this old fashion dress. I found her sobbing in the rose garden at the Crossroads Park. She didn't know where she was!" All three girls said they'd be right over as soon as they could.
Endymion looked around. He was in the middle of a big city he had never seen before. "Oh No!" he thought panicking, "The water from the falls must have transported me here! I hope Bunny didn't get transported too! She'd freak out!" Someone called to Endymion. "Hey Darien why are you wearing those funny clothes? They look like armor. Are you in a play you didn't tell me about?" Endymion turned around, there was someone jogging towards him at a steady pace. He had blond hair and had a nametag on from a place call 'Crown Arcade' that said his name was Andrew. "These clothes aren't funny Andrew." He said thinking, "If this person called Andrew thinks I'm a someone called Darien I should probably play along."
Just then Darien turned the corner. He stopped when he saw that Andrew was talking to what could be his clone. "Hi Andrew." Darien called waving. Andrew turned around and stared. "If you're Darien," he said looking at Darien and then turning back to Endymion, "who's he?" Darien knew he had to save this guy from Andrew's questions, but he didn't know why. In a second he had thought up a quick excuse. "That's my cousin Endo." Darien lied, "He's come to visit me for a while." "Oh hi Endo." Andrew said cheerfully, "Nice to meet you. I've got a friend named Endo. I thought that it wasn't a very common name but I guess I was wrong!" "Well I better be getting Endo to my apartment." Darien said, pulling Endymion farther away from Andrew, "He just came today from England. He's probably wiped out!"
When they were a safe distance away Darien asked, "Who are you?" "My names Endymion." He said, "Thank you for getting me away from, was his name Andrew?" "Yes his name was Andrew." Darien said still looking at Endymion, "You know you look like my twin." "I noticed that when I first saw you." Endymion said looking at Darien. "I have dreams each night that a princess calls me 'Endymion'." Darien commented. He had no clue why that came out or even if it was safe to tell him that. It seemed that Endymion didn't here Darien's last comment. "Why don't you come back to my house and we'll talk." Darien suggested. "OK." Endymion replied, "It will be awhile before I can get home anyway."
Mina, Amy, and Lita were all seated in Ray's living room. Lunch was set up in the next room. No one knew how long it would take to sort Bunny out. "So where's Bunny now?" Lita asked, concern written all over her face. "She's sleeping in my room." Ray replied, "I don't know what's wrong with her! It's like it's another Bunny!" "She's not any younger or older." Amy pointed out. "Did you see her?" Mina asked. "Yes." She replied, "I was here before all of you and I saw her." "So what should we do?" Lita asked. "I don't think we should let her parents see her until she's normal again. She's probably freak them out by telling them she didn't know them." Ray said. "That's a good idea." Amy said, "She'd probably do that."
"Well she can't stay here." Ray said, "Grandpa would ask questions and it would become a mess of lies and well, you know how grandpa is, sort of strange." "Well she can't stay at my place." Mina said sadly, "My mom is so attentive to me it's annoying. I'd end up with a mess of lies to, but probably worse than Ray's. At least her grandpa has a job he has to go to after a while! My mom is one of those stay-at-home-mothers. It's so annoying." "I might be able to take her home." Amy said, "My mom's never around, but if she found Bunny, I don't want to know what would happen. She might get mad or she might be happy that I have a friend over instead of a book- who knows."
"She could stay at my place." Lita suggested. "I don't have any parents to bother." "That's great." Amy said getting up and pouring herself a cup of water from the table. "I'll call her mom and tell her that she's sleeping over at my house." Lita said getting up. After three rings Bunny's mother picked up the phone. "Hello Mrs. Tsukino, this is Lita, Bunny's friend." She said. "Oh hello, Lita, nice to hear from you!" Mrs. Tsukino said happily, "I you want to talk to Bunny, I'm afraid she just left for the park." "I know. I ran into her there and now Bunny's going to sleep over at my house tonight." Lita said. "OK Lita." She said happily, "Just don't stay up too late. She seemed tired when she walked out of here to go to the park." "We won't." Lita promised, putting down the phone.
"Now the next challenge," Mina said putting a fake cheesy grin over her worried frown, "How do we get Bunny to your apartment?" There was a long silence. Amy spoke first. "I rode my bike but it's not safe to have two people on a one person bike, especially when the second person is sleeping! Also I only have one helmet." she stated. "I rode my new motorcycle." Lita suggested, "It would be safe enough for her and me even if she is sleeping. It's meant to hold two people and I have a second helmet that came with it. "Well then let's go!" Mina said happily.
Darien and Endymion were at Darien's apartment. "OK." Darien said handing Endymion a glass of soda, "You can tell me everything, no one's listening. "What's this drink you just handed me? Is it liquor?" Endymion asked looking at the soda with curiosity. Darien laughed, "Have you ever had sparkling water?" he asked. "Yes I have." Endymion said. "Well this is sparkling water with sugar." Darien explained as simply as he could, he didn't want to get Endymion too confused, "Now why are you here? You clearly don't belong in such a developed area."
"I was at the Falls of Magic when Bunny and I got splashed." Endymion said trying to keep the explanation simple and keeping out details that might scare Darien. "Did you say Bunny?" Darien asked alarmed. "Yes." Endymion replied confused. "Is it a nickname?" Darien asked. "Yes." The prince replied wondering why this boy who looked just like himself was asking these questions. "What's her real name?" "Serenity." Darien let out the air in a sigh that he had been holding in. "Why did you sigh like you were relieved?" Endymion asked. "I know a girl named Bunny." Darien explained, "It's her nickname. I sighed because I thought you were talking about her, but when you said Serenity I was relieved. Her name is Serena."
"So what's this 'Falls of Magic'?" Darien asked expertly changing the subject. He had felt his cheeks getting red when he talked about Bunny. He didn't want Endymion to know he liked her. "The Falls of Magic is a waterfall of enchanted water in my land." Endymion explained. "Bunny and I got soaked by it. You never know what will happen when that occurs. The water must have pulled me here. I hope that Bunny didn't come here too! She's very emotional." "We'll look for her." Darien assured Endymion, "But in the meantime why don't you change into some of my clothes. People don't walk around in armor here."
He showed Endymion where his bedroom was. A few minutes later Endymion walked out looking identical to Darien. "This is so strange." Darien murmured under his breath. "Well why don't I whip us up so dinner and I can tell you about Tokyo." "Sounds good to me." Endymion said, "What will we have?" "How about hamburgers." Darien suggested. "Never heard of them." Endymion said in a puzzled tone. "Trust me you'll like them." Darien said, getting some premade patties out of the freezer.
When Ray pulled Serenity out of her bed she wasn't surprised that the blond didn't wake up. She lugged her outside and plopped her on the back of the motorcycle. Tenderly, Mina put the extra helmet on her head. "She's so cute when she sleeps." Amy said smiling over the sleeping girl. "I say she looks more of an airhead." Ray commented scowling but she was thinking the same as Amy. Lita put on her own helmet and slid in front of Serenity. "Do you want us to follow?" Amy asked. "That sounds good." Lita said, "If you get permission from your parents you can sleep over." Amy and Ray went to get their bike. "I don't have a bike." Mina complained, "I walked!" Lita laughed. "I think that Ray has two bikes." She said. Mina ran off to ask. She was right and in a few minutes everyone was ready to go on her own bike.
When Amy and the rest got to Lita's apartment they carefully picked the still sleeping Serenity off the motorcycle. Lita ended up carrying her up the stairs to the apartment door, which was ten stories up because the elevator was broken. Finally they got there and Lita carefully put her on the bed. "She's actually pretty light for someone who eats too much." Lita said. The girls laughed. "I think she uses all that food up with all her crying and wining and running and, don't get me started." Ray said dryly.
Amy smiled and looked out the window, just to gasp and jump back in surprise. "There's a NegaVerse monster out there!" she exclaimed, getting out her transformation pen. The rest did the same. "MARS POWER MAKE UP!" "VENUS POWER MAKE UP!" "JUPITER POWER MAKE UP!" "MERCURY POWER MAKE UP!"
They started to run out the door. "Wait!" Mars said stopping at the door. The rest stopped. "I don't think it's a good idea to leave without leaving Bunny a note!" Mars said running back into the apartment. Quickly she jotted down a note. It read:
Dear Bunny,
We went after a NegaVerse monster. Please don't try to find us. Stay
here at Lita's apartment and don't go anywhere. That includes the arcade!
-Ray Ray put the note down on the bedside table next to Serenity. Then she and the rest of the scouts ran get rid of the monster.
Darien put a plate in front of Endymion. It had a big juicy hamburger on it. Darien went back to the counter and got his own dish. "You can eat it plain or you can put ketchup on it." Darien explained, putting some on his own burger. Endymion tried the ketchup. He took a small bite. "This is good!" Endymion said happily taking a bigger bite. "I'm glad you like it." Darien said taking a bite out of his own burger, "Now let's get down to business.
After dinner Endymion understood a lot more. "So that black box over there is called a television or a TV for short. It's a way of entertainment. That switch over there turns on automatic candles that are called lights." Endymion said trying to figure out all the electronics, "And most importantly I'm pretending to be you're cousin Endo from England until I can go home." "I knew you'd get it by the end of dinner!" Darien said happily.
Darien walked out onto his deck overlooking the street far below. It wasn't that big. There was just enough room for his pot of roses, two plastic deck chairs and a table in between. He watered the red roses, which were blooming. Endymion walked onto the deck and saw what he was doing. "Do you like roses?" he asked examining one. "I love them." Darien replied, "How about you?" "I like them because on my property I have garden after garden of roses. They're Bunny's favorite."
"What does your Bunny look like?" Darien asked sitting on one of the plastic deck chairs. Endymion sat down on the other one. "Well she's got blond hair and baby blue eyes." Endymion said gazing at the sky, "Her hair is so long that she keeps it in pig tails. Well really they're not pigtails, they're buns with hair coming out of it, they sort of look like rabbit ears. That's why I gave her the nickname 'Bunny'. What does your Bunny look like?"
Darien, who was sitting up strait starring at Endymion said, "You just described her, even the reason for her nickname. If I look like you and your Bunny looks like my Bunny maybe all four of us are connected somehow. I have dreams each night that a princess calls me 'Endymion' and tells me to find the Silver Imperium Crystal! The princess looks just like Sailor Moon - Oops. I wasn't supposed to say that." Endymion was now starring at Darien, "My Bunny holds the Silver Imperium Crystal. I know the scouts, but there isn't a 'Sailor Moon'. Serenity is the Princess of the Silver Millennium. I'm Prince Endymion of the Earth Kingdom! I think I went to the future! I think you're me! I think you're 'Sailor Moon' is my 'Bunny'!" By this time Endymion was out of breath.
"The scouts are looking for the Moon Princess and the Silver Imperium Crystal." Darien said calmly, "The next time there is a fight and I come, I'll reveal Sailor Moon. "There's a problem, Darien." Endymion said uneasily, "The scouts are proud. They're not going to listen to just anyone!" "Oh, they'll listen to me." Darien said smiling as he made a rose appear in his hand, I'll know when their next fight is because I know when Sailor Moon transforms and Sailor Moon goes to each fight. She's their leader. "You see I'm the scout's protector, Tuxedo Mask."
The Sailor Scouts arrived on the scene. Sailor Jupiter had the first attack. "FLOWER HURRICANE!" (This attack is only used once in the books. You can find it in the first manga book in act 5 when Nephrite appears at the bridal shop.) The monster that looked much like a possessed computer staggered back. "You must be the sailor dweebs!" it said, "Why don't I show you one of my metal pc-cds!" A cd appeared in its hand and came hurtling towards them. It made a buzzing sound as the spinning blade came closer. Sailor Venus pushed it away with her 'Love Me Chain'.
"AKO RYO TAI SAN!" Sailor Mars yelled throwing an anti-evil charm at the computer. Nothing happened except it seemed to shutter a few times. "Hha- Ha!" the computer monster stuttered, "Y-you can't-t can't stop me-me-me- me!" "VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!" Sailor Venus yelled. The possessed computer youma exploded into a thousand pieces. "I hope we don't have to pay for that." Sailor Jupiter said. "If we have to I'll pay." Sailor Mercury said, "We've better check on Bunny know." "You're right." Sailor Venus said. Quickly they all ran to Lita's apartment.
When Ray opened the door she saw Serenity reading a book called 'Cooking, The History and Future'. Mina saw this too and exclaimed, "Bunny what's wrong? Why are you reading a book!" she turned to Amy, "Amy you told me you made her study today. I think it did something weird to her. "I'm fine guys." Serenity assured them, "but one question, where are we? I keep moving from place to place. I just want to be back in my room and how do you know Endymion's nickname for me? You've never called me 'Bunny' before today. Why aren't you calling me my real name?" Mina, Lita, Ray, and Amy starred. "I think you did do something to her when you made her study." Ray said quietly to Amy.
Serenity ran a hand threw her now dry bands revealing her crescent moon for a split second. Only Amy saw it. The other three were talking about how studying must have made Bunny go mad. "Guys." Amy said in a shaky voice, "This isn't Bunny! It's the Moon Princess! "WHAT?!" Lita, Ray, and Mina yelled at the same time. Serenity smiled "Mercury, I thought you'd be the first one to come to your senses. To the rest of you, OF COURSE I'M THE MOON PRINCESS! WHO ELSE WOULD I BE?" she screamed. "We thought you were Bunny Tsukino" Mina said shyly. "But I am Bunny Tsukino." Serenity insisted, "Well at least I am to Endymion. I'm Serenity Tsukino of the Royal Moon Family to everyone else. What's wrong with you guys? You know this stuff."
"Uh, Serenity," Amy said gently, "you're not in the Silver Millennium anymore. The year is 2003 and you're in Crossroads, Japan." "WHAT?" the princess yelled. "Well that makes sense now that you called me Mars and that you were wearing that weirdo dress!" Ray said to herself. "Where's Bunny then?" Lita asked. "Probably arguing with Darien." Mina said. "Who's Darien?" Serenity asked curiously. "Never mind." Amy said. "'Never mind.' Isn't right!" Mina insisted, "'You don't want to know.' is more like it." Amy slapped her head in an annoyed manner and said, "It doesn't matter what you say about Darien. What really matters is that you don't give us away as being the scouts, princess! Call me Amy, call Venus Mina, call Mars Ray, and call Jupiter Lita.
"That's what must have happened!" Serenity said excitedly she hadn't heard anything that Amy had just said, "The magic from the Falls of Magic must have transported me here! That means Endymion will be here too." Amy slapped her head in an annoyed manner again. "Doesn't anyone listen to me?!" she asked. "No." Mina said simply. "Who's Endymion?" Lita asked. "He's the prince of the Earth. I'm in love with him." Serenity said, her eyes glazing over like Bunny's when she was thinking of something that made her happy. "I think that Bunny is the present day Moon Princess." Ray said. "Why?" Lita asked. "She looks and acts the same. How much closer can you get?" "She is Bunny." Amy said, typing something into her computer she had just taken out of her pocket, "Some one call Bunny. She needs to get over here and fast."
"Well what are you waiting for?" Endymion said getting up out of the deck chair, "Lets find your 'Sailor Moon'! "I can't find her anytime I want!" Darien explained, "I only know where she is when she transforms!" "Well can we at least take a walk on the street? I want to see more of the 'modern' city of Earth." Endymion said. Darien smiled "All right." He said, "I'll take you to Crown Arcade for a chocolate milkshake." "What's that?" Endymion asked. "Do you have chocolate milk at your place?" "Yes." "Ice cream?" "Yes." "If you mix those two together you get a milkshake." Darien explained.
On the way to the arcade they passed a forgotten purse. Endymion stopped to look at it. "Shouldn't you return that to who ever it belongs to?" he asked looking at. It was pink with a little white rabbit face on the front. "We'll never find the owner." Darien said pulling Endymion past the purse. "It's quite cute." He said looking over his shoulder at the purse.
They got to a corner. "Now if we just turn this corner we'll be at the"- BAM. Darien collided with someone and fell down. He looked up to see Bunny, who had fallen over too. "Watch where you're going Meatball Head!" he yelled. "I don't recall you looking either, Darien!" Bunny yelled. "You're always knocking me over!" he yelled back. "Oh well maybe you deserve it!" Bunny said icily. "Do you know this girl?" Endymion asked helping Bunny up, his eyes never leaving her face. "Yes I know her. Endo, this is Meatball Head, better known as Bunny Tsukino. Meatball Head, this is my cousin, Endo. He just came from England today." "It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Tsukino." He said taking her hand and kissing it. Bunny blushed.
"I hope you're better than your cousin Darien here." Bunny said seriously, "He's a nightmare come true!" Endymion laughed and said, "Believe me miss, I'm more than you'd ever imagine. Much more than my cousin here." Darien glared. "Endymion's flirting with the Meatball Head!" a voice in Darien's head said, "My Meatball Head." Another voice corrected. "Where are you going?" Darien asked. "I dropped my purse on my way to Lita's." She explained. "It's back there miss." Endymion said, "We saw it." "Thank you, Endo. I hope to see you again." Bunny said running by the two.
Darien got up. He saw Endymion looking after Bunny "You have your own girl." Darien reminded him, "Hands off my Meatball Head." "Your Meatball Head?" Endymion said raising an eyebrow. Darien blushed. "Yeh, I guess I like her, but she hates me." Darien said sadly. "I'll make you a deal." Endymion said, "You help me find Serenity, and Serenity and I will help you get your 'Meatball Head'. Anyway I think she's your Sailor Moon and if that's true she's your Serenity. It's the least we can do to get our future selves together." "You've got a deal." Darien said, shaking Endymion's hand.

This part of the story was finished, 7/15/03. Three more day till my birthday!
Ray walked down the busy street to the Crossroads Park. She was wearing her priestess robes under a light, brown windbreaker. Ray had just seen Amy going home from the arcade. The priestess was on her way to the park on this cool spring day because she thought it was relaxing. The flowers were in bloom because it was May, so the park smelled great.

Mina, Amy, and Lita were all seated in Ray's living room. Lunch was set up in the next room. No one knew how long it would take to sort Bunny out. "So where's Bunny now?" Lita asked, concern written all over her face. "She's sleeping in my room." Ray replied, "I don't know what's wrong with her! It's like it's another Bunny!" "She's not any younger or older." Amy pointed out. "Did you see her?" Mina asked. "Yes." She replied, "I was here before all of you and I saw her." "So what should we do?" Lita asked. "I don't think we should let her parents see her until she's normal again. She's probably freak them out by telling them she didn't know them." Ray said. "That's a good idea." Amy said, "She'd probably do that."
"Well she can't stay here." Ray said, "Grandpa would ask questions and it would become a mess of lies and well, you know how grandpa is, sort of strange." "Well she can't stay at my place." Mina said sadly, "My mom is so attentive to me it's annoying. I'd end up with a mess of lies to, but probably worse than Ray's. At least her grandpa has a job he has to go to after a while! My mom is one of those stay-at-home-mothers. It's so annoying." "I might be able to take her home." Amy said, "My mom's never around, but if she found Bunny, I don't want to know what would happen.

"Now the next challenge," Mina said putting a fake cheesy grin over her worried frown, "How do we get Bunny to your apartment?" There was a long silence. Amy spoke first. "I rode my bike but it's not safe to have two people on a one person bike, especially when the second person is sleeping! Also I only have one helmet." she stated. "I rode my new motorcycle." Lita suggested, "It would be safe enough for her and me even if she is sleeping. It's meant to hold two people and I have a second helmet that came with it. "Well then let's go!" Mina said happily.
Darien and Endymion were at Darien's apartment. "OK." Darien said handing Endymion a glass of soda, "You can tell me everything, no one's listening. "What's this drink you just handed me? Is it liquor?" Endymion asked looking at the soda with curiosity. Darien laughed, "Have you ever had sparkling water?" he asked. "Yes I have." Endymion said. "Well this is sparkling water with sugar." Darien explained as simply as he could, he didn't want to get Endymion too confused, "Now why are you here? You clearly don't belong in such a developed area."
"I was at the Falls of Magic when Bunny and I got splashed." Endymion said trying to keep the explanation simple and keeping out details that might scare Darien. "Did you say Bunny?" Darien asked alarmed. "Yes." Endymion replied confused. "Is it a nickname?" Darien asked. "Yes." The prince replied wondering why this boy who looked just like himself was asking these questions. "What's her real name?" "Serenity." Darien let out the air in a sigh that he had been holding in. "Why did you sigh like you were relieved?" Endymion asked. "I know a girl named Bunny." Darien explained, "It's her nickname. I sighed because I thought you were talking about her, but when you said Serenity I was relieved. Her name is Serena."
"So what's this 'Falls of Magic'?" Darien asked expertly changing the subject. He had felt his cheeks getting red when he talked about Bunny. He didn't want Endymion to know he liked her. "The Falls of Magic is a waterfall of enchanted water in my land." Endymion explained. "Bunny and I got soaked by it. You never know what will happen when that occurs. The water must have pulled me here. I hope that Bunny didn't come here too! She's very emotional." "We'll look for her." Darien assured Endymion, "But in the meantime why don't you change into some of my clothes. People don't walk around in armor here."
He showed Endymion where his bedroom was. A few minutes later Endymion walked out looking identical to Darien. "This is so strange." Darien murmured under his breath. "Well why don't I whip us up so dinner and I can tell you about Tokyo." "Sounds good to me." Endymion said, "What will we have?" "How about hamburgers." Darien suggested. "Never heard of them." Endymion said in a puzzled tone. "Trust me you'll like them." Darien said, getting some premade patties out of the freezer.
When Ray pulled Serenity out of her bed she wasn't surprised that the blond didn't wake up. She lugged her outside and plopped her on the back of the motorcycle. Tenderly, Mina put the extra helmet on her head. "She's so cute when she sleeps." Amy said smiling over the sleeping girl. "I say she looks more of an airhead." Ray commented scowling but she was thinking the same as Amy. Lita put on her own helmet and slid in front of Serenity. "Do you want us to follow?" Amy asked. "That sounds good." Lita said, "If you get permission from your parents you can sleep over." Amy and Ray went to get their bike. "I don't have a bike." Mina complained, "I walked!" Lita laughed. "I think that Ray has two bikes." She said. Mina ran off to ask. She was right and in a few minutes everyone was ready to go on her own bike.
When Amy and the rest got to Lita's apartment they carefully picked the still sleeping Serenity off the motorcycle. Lita ended up carrying her up the stairs to the apartment door, which was ten stories up because the elevator was broken. Finally they got there and Lita carefully put her on the bed. "She's actually pretty light for someone who eats too much." Lita said. The girls laughed. "I think she uses all that food up with all her crying and wining and running and, don't get me started." Ray said dryly.
Amy smiled and looked out the window, just to gasp and jump back in surprise. "There's a NegaVerse monster out there!" she exclaimed, getting out her transformation pen. The rest did the same. "MARS POWER MAKE UP!" "VENUS POWER MAKE UP!" "JUPITER POWER MAKE UP!" "MERCURY POWER MAKE UP!"
They started to run out the door. "Wait!" Mars said stopping at the door. The rest stopped. "I don't think it's a good idea to leave without leaving Bunny a note!" Mars said running back into the apartment. Quickly she jotted down a note. It read:
Dear Bunny,
We went after a NegaVerse monster. Please don't try to find us. Stay
here at Lita's apartment and don't go anywhere. That includes the arcade!
-Ray Ray put the note down on the bedside table next to Serenity. Then she and the rest of the scouts ran get rid of the monster.
Darien put a plate in front of Endymion. It had a big juicy hamburger on it. Darien went back to the counter and got his own dish. "You can eat it plain or you can put ketchup on it." Darien explained, putting some on his own burger. Endymion tried the ketchup. He took a small bite. "This is good!" Endymion said happily taking a bigger bite. "I'm glad you like it." Darien said taking a bite out of his own burger, "Now let's get down to business.
After dinner Endymion understood a lot more. "So that black box over there is called a television or a TV for short. It's a way of entertainment. That switch over there turns on automatic candles that are called lights." Endymion said trying to figure out all the electronics, "And most importantly I'm pretending to be you're cousin Endo from England until I can go home." "I knew you'd get it by the end of dinner!" Darien said happily.
Darien walked out onto his deck overlooking the street far below. It wasn't that big. There was just enough room for his pot of roses, two plastic deck chairs and a table in between. He watered the red roses, which were blooming. Endymion walked onto the deck and saw what he was doing. "Do you like roses?" he asked examining one. "I love them." Darien replied, "How about you?" "I like them because on my property I have garden after garden of roses. They're Bunny's favorite."
"What does your Bunny look like?" Darien asked sitting on one of the plastic deck chairs. Endymion sat down on the other one. "Well she's got blond hair and baby blue eyes." Endymion said gazing at the sky, "Her hair is so long that she keeps it in pig tails. Well really they're not pigtails, they're buns with hair coming out of it, they sort of look like rabbit ears. That's why I gave her the nickname 'Bunny'. What does your Bunny look like?"
Darien, who was sitting up strait starring at Endymion said, "You just described her, even the reason for her nickname. If I look like you and your Bunny looks like my Bunny maybe all four of us are connected somehow. I have dreams each night that a princess calls me 'Endymion' and tells me to find the Silver Imperium Crystal! The princess looks just like Sailor Moon - Oops. I wasn't supposed to say that." Endymion was now starring at Darien, "My Bunny holds the Silver Imperium Crystal. I know the scouts, but there isn't a 'Sailor Moon'. Serenity is the Princess of the Silver Millennium. I'm Prince Endymion of the Earth Kingdom! I think I went to the future! I think you're me! I think you're 'Sailor Moon' is my 'Bunny'!" By this time Endymion was out of breath.
"The scouts are looking for the Moon Princess and the Silver Imperium Crystal." Darien said calmly, "The next time there is a fight and I come, I'll reveal Sailor Moon. "There's a problem, Darien." Endymion said uneasily, "The scouts are proud. They're not going to listen to just anyone!" "Oh, they'll listen to me." Darien said smiling as he made a rose appear in his hand, I'll know when their next fight is because I know when Sailor Moon transforms and Sailor Moon goes to each fight. She's their leader. "You see I'm the scout's protector, Tuxedo Mask."
The Sailor Scouts arrived on the scene. Sailor Jupiter had the first attack. "FLOWER HURRICANE!" (This attack is only used once in the books. You can find it in the first manga book in act 5 when Nephrite appears at the bridal shop.) The monster that looked much like a possessed computer staggered back. "You must be the sailor dweebs!" it said, "Why don't I show you one of my metal pc-cds!" A cd appeared in its hand and came hurtling towards them. It made a buzzing sound as the spinning blade came closer. Sailor Venus pushed it away with her 'Love Me Chain'.
"AKO RYO TAI SAN!" Sailor Mars yelled throwing an anti-evil charm at the computer. Nothing happened except it seemed to shutter a few times. "Hha- Ha!" the computer monster stuttered, "Y-you can't-t can't stop me-me-me- me!" "VENUS LOVE AND BEAUTY SHOCK!" Sailor Venus yelled. The possessed computer youma exploded into a thousand pieces. "I hope we don't have to pay for that." Sailor Jupiter said. "If we have to I'll pay." Sailor Mercury said, "We've better check on Bunny know." "You're right." Sailor Venus said. Quickly they all ran to Lita's apartment.
When Ray opened the door she saw Serenity reading a book called 'Cooking, The History and Future'. Mina saw this too and exclaimed, "Bunny what's wrong? Why are you reading a book!" she turned to Amy, "Amy you told me you made her study today. I think it did something weird to her. "I'm fine guys." Serenity assured them, "but one question, where are we? I keep moving from place to place. I just want to be back in my room and how do you know Endymion's nickname for me? You've never called me 'Bunny' before today. Why aren't you calling me my real name?" Mina, Lita, Ray, and Amy starred. "I think you did do something to her when you made her study." Ray said quietly to Amy.
Serenity ran a hand threw her now dry bands revealing her crescent moon for a split second. Only Amy saw it. The other three were talking about how studying must have made Bunny go mad. "Guys." Amy said in a shaky voice, "This isn't Bunny! It's the Moon Princess! "WHAT?!" Lita, Ray, and Mina yelled at the same time. Serenity smiled "Mercury, I thought you'd be the first one to come to your senses. To the rest of you, OF COURSE I'M THE MOON PRINCESS! WHO ELSE WOULD I BE?" she screamed. "We thought you were Bunny Tsukino" Mina said shyly. "But I am Bunny Tsukino." Serenity insisted, "Well at least I am to Endymion. I'm Serenity Tsukino of the Royal Moon Family to everyone else. What's wrong with you guys? You know this stuff."
"Uh, Serenity," Amy said gently, "you're not in the Silver Millennium anymore. The year is 2003 and you're in Crossroads, Japan." "WHAT?" the princess yelled. "Well that makes sense now that you called me Mars and that you were wearing that weirdo dress!" Ray said to herself. "Where's Bunny then?" Lita asked. "Probably arguing with Darien." Mina said. "Who's Darien?" Serenity asked curiously. "Never mind." Amy said. "'Never mind.' Isn't right!" Mina insisted, "'You don't want to know.' is more like it." Amy slapped her head in an annoyed manner and said, "It doesn't matter what you say about Darien. What really matters is that you don't give us away as being the scouts, princess! Call me Amy, call Venus Mina, call Mars Ray, and call Jupiter Lita.
"That's what must have happened!" Serenity said excitedly she hadn't heard anything that Amy had just said, "The magic from the Falls of Magic must have transported me here! That means Endymion will be here too." Amy slapped her head in an annoyed manner again. "Doesn't anyone listen to me?!" she asked. "No." Mina said simply. "Who's Endymion?" Lita asked. "He's the prince of the Earth. I'm in love with him." Serenity said, her eyes glazing over like Bunny's when she was thinking of something that made her happy. "I think that Bunny is the present day Moon Princess." Ray said. "Why?" Lita asked. "She looks and acts the same. How much closer can you get?" "She is Bunny." Amy said, typing something into her computer she had just taken out of her pocket, "Some one call Bunny. She needs to get over here and fast."
"Well what are you waiting for?" Endymion said getting up out of the deck chair, "Lets find your 'Sailor Moon'! "I can't find her anytime I want!" Darien explained, "I only know where she is when she transforms!" "Well can we at least take a walk on the street? I want to see more of the 'modern' city of Earth." Endymion said. Darien smiled "All right." He said, "I'll take you to Crown Arcade for a chocolate milkshake." "What's that?" Endymion asked. "Do you have chocolate milk at your place?" "Yes." "Ice cream?" "Yes." "If you mix those two together you get a milkshake." Darien explained.
On the way to the arcade they passed a forgotten purse. Endymion stopped to look at it. "Shouldn't you return that to who ever it belongs to?" he asked looking at. It was pink with a little white rabbit face on the front. "We'll never find the owner." Darien said pulling Endymion past the purse. "It's quite cute." He said looking over his shoulder at the purse.
They got to a corner. "Now if we just turn this corner we'll be at the"- BAM. Darien collided with someone and fell down. He looked up to see Bunny, who had fallen over too. "Watch where you're going Meatball Head!" he yelled. "I don't recall you looking either, Darien!" Bunny yelled. "You're always knocking me over!" he yelled back. "Oh well maybe you deserve it!" Bunny said icily. "Do you know this girl?" Endymion asked helping Bunny up, his eyes never leaving her face. "Yes I know her. Endo, this is Meatball Head, better known as Bunny Tsukino. Meatball Head, this is my cousin, Endo. He just came from England today." "It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Tsukino." He said taking her hand and kissing it. Bunny blushed.
"I hope you're better than your cousin Darien here." Bunny said seriously, "He's a nightmare come true!" Endymion laughed and said, "Believe me miss, I'm more than you'd ever imagine. Much more than my cousin here." Darien glared. "Endymion's flirting with the Meatball Head!" a voice in Darien's head said, "My Meatball Head." Another voice corrected. "Where are you going?" Darien asked. "I dropped my purse on my way to Lita's." She explained. "It's back there miss." Endymion said, "We saw it." "Thank you, Endo. I hope to see you again." Bunny said running by the two.
Darien got up. He saw Endymion looking after Bunny "You have your own girl." Darien reminded him, "Hands off my Meatball Head." "Your Meatball Head?" Endymion said raising an eyebrow. Darien blushed. "Yeh, I guess I like her, but she hates me." Darien said sadly. "I'll make you a deal." Endymion said, "You help me find Serenity, and Serenity and I will help you get your 'Meatball Head'. Anyway I think she's your Sailor Moon and if that's true she's your Serenity. It's the least we can do to get our future selves together." "You've got a deal." Darien said, shaking Endymion's hand.
