Hey everyone! I'm back! I am so sorry I haven't been updating. I've been kinda busy with school and stuff. I decided to put my account on my second e-mail address at home, since I'll be using that one more during the school year.

Someone said they got a little confused with what's going on in the story. I'll start doing flashbacks before I continue the story. However, I won't do it for every chapter though. Sorry!

Okay, I shut up now.

Disclaimer: I don not own Sailor Moon or any of it's characters. However... I do own Alex, Ebony, Salara and some of the other characters in this fic, but I'm too lazy to tell you all of them. Oh yeah, and I own this fic.

Previously: Serena, the girls and Darien are in a band along with Andrew, Chad, Heather, Nate, and P.J.

One day, Serena heard Ebony sing as she passed Andrew's house. Ebony sensed that there was something odd about Serena, Darien and the girls. And Serena felt that there was something familiar about Ebony. One day, the gang (including Andrew and Ebony), went to Skate World for a little fun. On the way there, Salara, who happened to be one of the Heart Snatchers, attacked Andrew. Before Salara could get away with Andrew's heart crystal, Eugile appeared. Then she and Salara got into an argument over the mission. The scouts took the situation to their advantage and retrieved Andrew's crystal. After the ahem ... battle, Ebony went searching for the scouts and Tuxedo Mask. She found the in a nearby alley where the de-transformed into her new friends.

Later on, after the girls and Darien explained everything to Ebony, they went to Serena's house for a while, where Ebony fainted from one of her visions. Then Serena was sure that Ebony would be her missing guardian.

The next day, Darien, Serena, the girls (including Ebony) and Sammy decided to go see the movie 'Shrek' in the Tallahassee Mall. Serena began to think about Darien's childhood must have been like; lonely birthdays, no one there to love him, a missing sister he knew nothing about. 'It must've been lonely being alone for so long'. She looked up at Darien who was smiling at the hysterical movie about a green ogre and a loudmouth donkey. It warmed her heart to know that her boyfriend was enjoying his birthday. He deserved to. Then it hit her; she didn't wish him a happy birthday. On impulse, she pulled his head down and crushed his lips to hers. Serena looked up at Darien, who had a shocked look on his face. "Happy birthday, Muffin" she whispered.

Ebony and Mina, who saw the whole thing, looked at the two with raised eyebrows. Neither of them expected Serena to do something like that. Mina shrugged it of and turned back to the movie screen. 'Could've been worse' the blonde thought.

Ebony however, was still gaping at the two.

TWO HOURS LATER....

The gang was walking through the mall. Sammy, Lita, Mina, Raye, Amy, Alex, And Ebony were laughing and joking around while Serena and Darien were slowly walking behind their friends pondering about the night before.

"So, Eb," Raye began, "What happened with you last night?" Ebony knew what she was talking about. Honestly, she didn't blame her for asking. She would have too, if one of her friend just fainted for no reason.

"Well, you see..." Ebony was cut off by a scream. People began to run out of the mall.

"What the..." Alex drawled. An evil yet feminine laugh was heard coming from the right in the food court.

"Salara!" Serena gasped. They spotted a pink haired girl trying to steel a heart crystal from another girl around 15 or 16. "Help me!" the girl choked out from Salara's grip around her neck. Darien and the girls rushed to the nearest restrooms and transformed while Sammy and Ebony ducked behind two of the sets of tables and chairs.

"Hey ya, freak!" Sailor Jupiter exclaimed.

"Oh, Sailor Stoops!" Salara said cheerfully, "I hoped you would show up! How you can meet my good friend, Chikara!" A bright pink orb appeared in the palm of her hand. She threw it down on the gray tiled floor then produced a cloud of smoke.

When the smoke cleared, the scouts faced a female-looking monster with a bluish-gray complexion, a bright orange kamono, and cerulean cat-like eyes. Chikara was also very muscular and her hot pink colored hair reached down to the back of her knees. "Chikara!" Salara said to her minion, "have fun with these idiots. And be a doll and get that girl's heart crystal."

"Of course, boss" Salara smile at the monster's obedience. A portal appeared out of nowhere and Salara walked into it.

Mars launched the first attack, "Mars Fire Surround!"

Chikara used some kind of super punch against the attack, sending it back at the scouts.

Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury moved out of the way immediately. It seemed that Sailor Moon couldn't move fast enough, so Tuxedo Mask took hold of her around her waist and quickly pulled her out of the way. They were kneeling on the floor. Tuxedo Mask took Moon's face in between his gloved hands. "Are you okay, baby?" he asked. "U-uh huh" She answered nodding.

"Oh, God" he whispered as he gathered her into a hug. "Sweetheart, please try to move faster next time" he begged. His only answer was a nod. "God, I could have lost you."

Meanwhile in battle, the scouts were getting their butts kicked. Al their attacks backfired and the monster was too strong to use any physical attacks. Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask tried some their own attacks they didn't work either, though they might have weakened Chikara a little more.

The scouts and Tuxedo Mask were too weak. Chikara decided to get a jump-start on her second task. She approached the girl.

Ebony felt like she had to do something. She ran up to the monster and jumped onto her back. Chikara threw her off onto the floor. "Ebony!" Sailor Moon called out.

Chikara was about to use her hair as a whip, until Ebony's eyes began to glow sky blue and an energy shield appeared around her.

Tuxedo Mask held Sailor Moon close as they watched their friend face the monster.

When Chikara's hair struck the energy shield, a force threw her back against the wall. "Sailor Moon, NOW!" Sammy yelled from his hiding place.

Sailor Moon began her attack while Chikara was still down. "Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" The attack hit Chikara, killing her instantly. All that was left of her was a pile of ashes.

Ebony's energy shield finally gave out while taking some of her energy.

'It's her Darien.' Serena whispered into his mind as she checked on her scouts.

'Yeah, Sailor Vega'

Tuxedo Mask and the scouts returned to the restrooms and de-transformed after returning the heart crystal to its owner. Darien and the girls rushed to Ebony's side. "Eb, you okay?" Darien asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine..." Serena jumped into Ebony's arms giving her a bear hug.

"Ebby, I was so worriiiiied!" "Sere...I'm...fine" Ebony choked out.

"Sere, let go of her!" Darien said smiling at his girlfriend. Slowly, Sere began to let go of Ebony.

"Guys, we have something really important to tell you." Darien said.

"You're getting married!" Mina said starry-eyed with her hands clasped together.

"No."

Lets go to my house to talk about this." Serena said, then they all left for Serena's house.

AN: Heya everybody! I'm goin for oh say... two pages right now. The glowing eye thing... don't ask. I'll explain it in future chapters.
