Chapter Seven: Break up or Breakdown?

"Ouch!" said Serena as she stood on a stool in her living room wearing a beautiful dress. "Mom, be careful!"

"I just want to make sure that it's perfect." Irene said holding a sewing needle. "You don't get another senior prom."

"Unless you happen to be Darien." said Richard. "This would his second."

"No, his first Dad." said Serena. "He never went to his."

"It seems like yesterday I was holding your little hand as I took you to meet your new baby brother and now you're going to your senior prom."

"It won't be for another month."

"Still you're not a baby anymore."

"Neither is Sammy." said Irene. "It seems like yesterday to me that he was taking his first steps and now he and Mika are kissing."

"They're defiantly becoming a man and a woman." Then Richard and Irene gave each other a kiss. "It may not be long before we meet our grandchildren." Serena just gave a muffled laugh.

{You already have met one.} She thought.

Sammy then came though the door. "My heart was been broken, my world has no meaning." He moaned.

Irene went over to him. "What's wrong honey?"

"I'm slime, I'm worse than slime, I'm worse than what's underneath slime!"

"Calm down son." said Richard. "Just tell us what's wrong."

"Mika, we were walking up to each other when I tripped and..."

"What?!"

"I touched her breasts!"

"You what?!" said Irene.

"She thought I did it on purpose and said that we were through!"

"It was an accident." said Richard. "The whole thing was completely innocent."

"The worst thing about it was that I enjoyed for a second before she yelled at me!"

"Sammy." said Serena. "It's a good thing that you feel guilty about what you've done, but you shouldn't beat yourself up so much about an accident. So you liked touching her, it's natural to have fantasies; I daydream about my wedding night!"

"Serena!" her parents said.

"The point is that we all have these urges, we just have to control them."

"Well I can forget about Mika." said Sammy.

"I'm sure she'd understand."

"Thanks you're the best sister I've ever had."

"I'm the only sister you've ever had." Serena thought about how much they both matured during the last three years. They no longer called each other names or got into petty fights, maybe it was because they realized they only had so much time together until Serena went to college and then who knew when they would see each other again.

Vega called Merlor, Scorpio, Prim and Axel into his throne room. "Merlor has informed me about the keys to the vault, I do not know what shape the keys take or where they can be but they must be found."

"We have already begun searching for them, it won't be long." said Merlor.

Vega left to his room. "He's on to us." said Axel.

"No, but he has felt Astra through the vault."

"We must accelerate our plan before he finds anything out." said Scorpio. "The nightmare stone is ready do you have a target?"

"Yes." He conjured an image of Mika and turned to Prim and Axel. "Luckily for you this star system has run out of planets to lend their powers to someone!"

"We can handle them!" said Prim.

"Yeah they must still be total yutzes!" said Axel.

"I wonder who the yutzes really are." Merlor said as they left.

~*~

"So you think you both have it under control?" Serena asked as she Molly walked to class.

"Absolutely." said Molly. "We've both been practicing every chance we got, and we have our powers under total control."

"I still have a hard time getting used it; my best friend is now a sailor scout too, I never figured you as the type."

"Neither did I, but now I'm part of something that's bigger than myself. It feels good, like I'm part of a family."

"It does doesn't it?"

"Speaking of which I'm still a little amazed that we were able to hypnotize my mom in to thinking that Kaede was my cousin with that little cat ball."

"There is more to Luna-P than meets the eye."

They turned a corner and saw Sammy taking a book out of his locker. "Hey Sammy." said Molly. "You seem to be in a better mood than yesterday."

"Oh that." said Sammy. "I decided to take Serena's advice and I'm going to explain to Mika that it was an accident. No matter what happens I'm not going to let it get to me anymore."

"Good for you." said Serena.

Sammy closed his locker and was shocked at what he saw next. "Mika and Eddie?!"

Strange but true enough Mika was laughing with the school bully. "You are so funny!" she said.

"What is this?!"

"Oh it's you." said Mika turning her back on Sammy. "I told you I never want to see you again."

"Mika it was an accident and I'm sorry."

"Ok, I forgive you."

"Aren't you forgetting about me?" said Eddie.

"Oh right. Sammy I'm going out with Eddie tonight."

"What?!" said Sammy.

"I did some thinking and I realized that you just weren't exciting enough for me. I'm sorry but we can still be..." time seemed to slow down for Sammy. "Friends."

"Noooooo!"

~*~

"I feel so humiliated." said Serena. "Why did he have to have a nervous breakdown right in the middle of the hall?"

"Well she said the phrase." said Greg.

"The phrase?"

"You've never dumped a guy before have you?" said Jamie. "To a guy being dumped the phrase 'we can still be friends' sounds more like 'you're the world's biggest loser'."

"Sammy must be crushed." said Amy.

"The thing I can't understand is why Mika is going out with Eddie?" said Ken. "He's an obnoxious bully."

"Well I can understand." said Molly. "She wants a little excitement, a little danger. Maybe that's why I fell for Nephrite."

Melvin grunted at Nephrite's name, even though he wasn't dating Molly at the time he was still a little jealous of him. "Eddie will break her heart you'll see."

"I just hope Sammy doesn't do anything foolish." said Serena.

~*~

Back at home Serena was doing her homework downstairs. "...So x equals fifty-seven, and I am done!" Serena laid back. "Let's see first we have the school carnival then the prom then finals week and after that graduation. I can't believe that it's almost over."

Sammy came downstairs. "I'm going out."

Serena turned around. "I thought that you would lock the door and stay in your room all night."

"I'm going to spy on Mika and Eddie."

"Spy?!"

"We both know what a jerk he can be, I just don't want Mika to get hurt."

"But spying on her?"

"I know but..."

"Well then I guess that I have to go with you to keep you out of trouble."

"Thanks Serena."

~*~

Mika and Eddie were at a coffee house, Mika looked a little nervous. "I've never actually had coffee before."

"Then why I don't I order for us?" said Eddie.

After Eddie ordered the drinks Mika kept telling herself. {He's an ok guy he's just hurting inside, right? Then why doesn't it seem right?}

Eddies picked up the two drinks and they sat down at a booth not knowing Serena and Sammy were sitting in the next one. "So I hear you're good at making dolls."

"Yes, I've been doing it for three years now."

"So do you know what you're going to do when you graduate?"

"Sammy and I still haven't decided."

"Do you have to talk about that dweeb?"

Sammy wanted to turn around and hit Eddie but Serena held him back. "Sammy's a great guy; it's just that he was taking our relationship for granted. All of our dates became too predictable, it was like a chore."

Sammy thought about what she said. {I've been taking her for granted, well no more! She's so important to me that I'll do anything for her!}

"What about me?" asked Eddie.

"I realized that you act the way you do because you're hurting inside."

"Give me five minutes and he'll be hurting outside too!" Sammy whispered.

"Eddie." Mika said after taking a sip of her drink. "I want to help you, I want go through those problems."

Eddie looked at his watch and then at the park outside the window. "Want to go for a stroll?"

"I guess."

As they got up to leave Serena and Sammy followed close by.

~*~

Eddie stopped at a secluded meadow surrounded by trees. "Nice night."

"Uh yeah." said Mika. {Why do I feel so uncomfortable?}

"Ya know we are alone."

{That's what you think.} Thought Serena.

"I guess we are alone." said Mika.

"If we're really going to start a serious relationship than we better cement It." said Eddie.

"I d-don't understand."

"Nervous? Yeah it's my first time too, but I came prepared." He then pulled out a thin packet that appeared to have something inside. "I brought protection so we don't have anything to worry about."

Steam was coming from Sammy's ears and a vein was showing on his forehead. {If he thinks he can mess around with MY Mika...}

Mika then slapped Eddie's cheek. "You pervert!"

Eddie was dumbfounded. "I don't understand."

"You think you can just score on the first night?! I was taught that intimacy like that should only be shared by a man and a woman who love each other so much that they are willing to be married and share their entire lives forever!"

"And so was I!" Sammy said as he stepped into the meadow.

"Sammy?!"

"Mika, I'm sorry about taking our relationship for granted."

"I'm sorry too. I realize now that I've been doing the same thing."

"I promise to make our time together special."

"I promise too." They then gave each other a hug.

"Wait a minute, you're dumping me for him!?" Eddie yelled.

"At least for him, it was an accident! Not like you Mr. try to get to home plate on the first date!"

"Well then." Eddie said cracking his knuckles. "Let's see if you still like him after he runs away like he usually does!"

"Not this time Eddie." Sammy said. "I won't fight not because I'm a coward, but because it's what you want!"

"Want to take your pounding like a man?"

"He does and I'll take mine like a woman!" said Mika.

"I wasn't going to hurt you Mika, but since you insist..."

"Leave them alone Eddie!" Serena said as she steeped into the meadow.

"Ah, do the babies need Sammy's big sister to fight for 'em?"

"Mika thought you act like a bully because you 'hurt inside', but the real reason is because you're a coward who fights those who are weaker than you so you can feel like a big shot!"

"I'm not afraid of you!"

"Hey do I know you?" said Prim from one of the Treetops.

"Wait a minute..." said Axel he then pointed at Sammy. "I remember you now; you were the kid we turned into our very first nightmare way back when!"

"Nightmare?" Eddie pondered. He then remembered Rage then pointed at Sammy. "Argh! You're the monster that almost killed me!"

"Monster?" he then remembered getting hit by the nightmare stone and becoming the power source of something like a youma or a droid. "I remember you two now, you aren't taking me back!"

"Actually we didn't come you." said Axel. "Hit it sis!"

"NIGHTMARE GO!"

The stone hit Mika who became a purple moth-like nightmare with eye like patterns on her wings and fuzzy antennae. "I am Pixie Moth!" it said.

"Mommy!" Eddie yelled as he ran from the park.

Serena also ran but to stop half way through the grove. "Guys, The pointless siblings turned Mika into a Nightmare, head to the park on the double!"

"We're on our way!"

"MOON INFINITY POWER!"

~*~

Sammy tried to talk to "Mika I know that you're in there, you can fight her!"

"She can't hear you!" Pixie Moth said. "All she can do now is act as my power source!"

"How dare you separate two people in love?!" Sailor Moon said. {Maybe now is the time to try out my new speech.} "I am a defender of justice, love and peace! I am Sailor Moon, I will protect the weak..." she pointed to Pixie Moth. "And vanquish the evil!"

"I like the new speech." said Axel. "But I would prefer a theme song that would play every time you come and ruin our plans."

"Yeah like something in a techno dance remix." said Prim.

The Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter arrived. "You think you can beat us with an overgrown bug!" said Sailor Jupiter.

"I'm more than just a bug!" said Pixie Moth as she flew into the air. "I'm down right toxic!" she then flapped her wings spreading poison dust in her path.

Sammy began coughing. "Mika...ugh!" He fainted from the poison.

"Sammy!" Sailor Moon yelled.

"Don't worry about him." said Sailor Mercury. "From my scans the poison will vanish after she's beaten."

"I have more where that came from!" Pixie Moth said as she flapped her wings again.

"MERCURY ARCTIC SLASHER!"

The ice blades hurt Pixie Moth while soaking her wings. "Look what you did! Now I can't fly or spread my lovely poison!"

"That's not all it she did!" said Sailor Jupiter.

"What?!"

"Your wet wings are now a good conductor of electricity, making them the perfect bug zapper!"

"JUPITER LIGHTNINGORB BLITZ!"

She hit Pixie Moth's wings causing them to burst into flame. "My wings, my beautiful wings!"

"Here comes pest control!" said Sailor Moon.

"MOON MAGNUM STARBEAM!"

"I was drawn to defeat like a moth to a flame!" Pixie moth said before she was separated from Mika and was destroyed.

"And now it's your turn!" Sailor Moon said to Prim and Axel.

"Sorry we'll have to take a rain check." said Prim before she and Axel teleported away. Sailor Moon then turned to Sailor Mercury and Sailor Venus.

"You better take Mika back home, I'll take my brother."

~*~

"Once again you both come back empty handed!" Merlor bellowed.

"Well what did you expect us to do with that bogus butterfly." said Axel.

"Are you insinuating that this is my fault?!"

"Well kinda." said Prim.

Merlor then zapped them with dark energy. "The only thing I'm missing is popcorn." said Scorpio.

~*~

The next day at school Serena and the others were keeping an eye on Sammy and Mika. "They seem to be fine now." said Amy. "They were defiantly glad to see each other."

"But how do we know that they'll stay together?" asked Raye.

"They will, I can tell." said Mina.

"Because you're the world's best matchmaker?" said Lita.

"No." said Serena. "Because she was with me when I told Rini about this."

"What does that have to do with anything?" asked Molly.

"Because Rini then said that she was glad that her baby cousins would still be there when she got home. She loves to cuddle them."

As the scouts were thinking about what Serena told them Sammy and Mika unknowingly snuck up behind Eddie. He turned around and screamed. "Get away from me!"

Sammy just shrugged. "We aren't monsters anymore, what's his problem?"

Mika shrugged as well. "Don't know, but I don't care right now." She gave Sammy a peck on the cheek. "We got each other and that's all that matters."
