Hello minna-chan! It's been a long nine months, ne? I meant to update way sooner it's just I got caught up with schoolwork and then I got writer's block. I somewhat still have it but I'll try to write this anyway because I feel bad about the fact that you guys waited so long just see me update again. Before I start this chapter I wanted to let you people know that Jaedite thinks there are three senshi instead of four. When Jupiter isn't there Mars is and vice verse. I hope that explains everything before I confuse someone. As for the Jaedite/Makoto romance gomen Kage-Shadow-of-Darkness and Serenity-Diamond but that's there won't be any in this chapter but to make up for it there well be tons of it in a later chapter that I plan to write.
I don't not own Sailor Moon or any characters assorted with them. Anyway without any more delay here's chapter 9.

# Television or Radio
Usagi, Ami and Rei sat on the overnight makeshift beds the floor of Rei's room. They were throwing a slumber party so that they could discuss Usagi's upcoming date with Sanjouin. Makoto couldn't be there for some unknown reason. Rei and Usagi assumed that she was out trying to stalk Ranjouin she swore that she saw him while they were walking around town earlier.
"So where do you think he'll take you Usagi-chan?" Ami seemed very curious about Sanjouin. She hadn't had the chance to meet the oh so infamous 'San-chan' as Usagi called him. That's whom she seemed to talk about if boys were bought up while they were together. She would start saying that she captured herself a superman and not some ordinary man.
Usagi tilted her head to the side as Rei began to brush it. " I really don't know but he seemed to drop hints that he wanted to go to the Tokyo Tower Cafe."
"What!" Rei exclaimed as she jerked Usagi's hair back so that she was looking in the blonde's upside down face.
Usagi grabbed Rei's hand trying to free her gold locks from the miko's hand. " Owe! Rei let go of my hair you're hurting my head!" She protested at the brutal treatment of her hair and head.
Rei released Usagi's hair that she had captured inside her fist. "Gomen Usagi but I thought you said Sanjouin-san was taking you to TTC."
"I did." She simply stated before she spotted a Sailor V manga lying near her. Picking it up she began reading the contents within and started laughing.
Rei and Ami gaped at her. "You can't be serious, I heard that getting a reservation was close to none if you didn't book them at least a whole month and a half in advance, plus you and Sanjouin-san have only been seeing each other for only about three or four weeks." Ami clarified. " You two can't seriously be that far along in your relationship."
"She's right besides only the really serious couples go there, and I seriously doubt that he's gonna pop the question either. I think there's something-fishy going on with him. He's like a dream come true, a knight in shining arm, something that's too good to be true if you know what I am trying to say. It's like he is straight out of one of the fairy tales that we were told when we were. He's like a dream come true prince. You know what they say too. That if something is too good to be true then it usually is too good to be true. Maybe you should find out for sure if Sanjouin-san is going to take you there before you assume that he is and get yourself all worked up about. You more than likely are gonna be disappointed if he doesn't take you there for your date." Rei agreed with Ami, why would Sanjouin take Usagi to such an expensive place for a date. She knew that first dates were always supposed to be somewhere special and romantic but this was the Tokyo Tower Café they were talking about. People went there for either there anniversary, graduation, to pop the question, or a marriage reception. She knew for sure that Usagi qualified for none the above. So why were they going if they were going?
Usagi glare at the other two girls. " Have you two forgotten that San-chan is rich? They probably considered that he was a very important person and that they wanted his business because he is a super rich man. Shesh I thought you guys would remember that one fact since I have mention it numerous times to you." Usagi laughed as she continued to read the manga not even looking up as she spoke. " But I'll take you guys advice and try to see where he is taking me for our date. Would that make you two feel better?"
"Hai it would." They both chorused.
"You know you're gonna have to give us girls details on how it went when you get back right, Odango Atama?"
"Hai Pryo of course I'll you in on what went on during the date. Besides I think we're supposed to be double dating with his cousin Ranjouin and Makoto too, so I won't be totally alone is something happens to go down. Who would dare pick a fight with Makoto? If she gets real serious then her looks would scary San-chan out of doing anything stupid." She pointed out to them. She placed the manga on the ground and rolled onto her stomach. Kicking her feet into the air she thought for a moment before she opened her mouth.
"If they happen to be youma and Makoto and I can't take care of them then we'll give you a call on the communicator, but there is no way that is gonna happen." Usagi stated as she popped her strawberry bubble gum not realizing how close to the truth she was. Who would even think that Sanjouin or his cousin Ranjouin were youma from the Dark Kingdom besides Rei and Luna? Their family's name has been known throughout Tokyo, Japan for seventy-five years because of all the hard work their grandfather had done. Besides if they were starting to have suspicions or they find out that the two of so super sexy cousins were from the Dark Kingdom right now that would ruin my whole plot.
Spitting out her gum she grabbed a bag of sour cream and onion chips Usagi stood up. " I'm gonna go sit outside to think for a few minutes ok."
"Aren't you afraid that the ghost will get you Usagi?" Rei poked fun at Usagi. She knew that the blond was scared of ghosts.
"No, not the ones that live here." Was the simple answer that Usagi give Rei before she left the room.
Walking around the temple for a few minutes Usagi sat down where she had a perfect view of the stars and moon. She closed her eyes and let the spring breeze blow through her still let down hair.
It would be really great if Sanjouin was here with me to enjoy this or we somewhere romantic. It also be cool if he was Tuxedo Kamen too him or Motoki.
A grin crossed Usagi's face as she thought about Sanjouin and Motoki being Tuxedo Kamen.
Usagi opened her eyes just as an image of Jadeite appeared in the sky. "Listen Sailor Senshi! It's time to settle this. At 1 AM tomorrow night, come to the F runway of Haneda airport. If you don't come, I'll..." An illusion of Tokyo burning could be seen in the sky. "That was an illusion. But if you don't come, I'll make that illusion come true. Tokyo will be a sea of fire if you don't show up." Jadeite's image disappeared from the sky as Usagi rushed to tell the others what she saw. " Did…you guys just see that?" She asked as she burst into the room where Rei and Ami were.
Ami nodded her head. " Hai we saw it the thing is, is he bluffing or telling the truth." Rei said as she opened the door that lead to the fire room.
" I don't think he was bluffing. He same to serious about it and when people seem serious about something they normally aren't bluffing." Usagi explain.
"It's agreed then we go tomorrow night at 1 AM to the F runway of Haneda airport."
"It could be a trap though." Ami stated. " He could be doing it just to lure us into some kind of trap to get rid of us or find out our identities."
" Either way it goes he has the advantaged." Rei looked into the fire.
" Besides if we don't go we will be responsible for all the lives that would be lost."
" Did you guys see what happened last night?"
"You mean that big illusion thing in the sky. Yea I saw it"
" Do you think it was real?"
"I don't know but I think we should go to see if it is."
Usagi put her head on her desk her, Rei and Ami had stayed up late discussing if it were a trap how they could get themselves out of it.
" So Usagi what do you think about the man that appeared in the sky last night?" Naru asked as she sat down at her desk. " Do you think we should go and check it out?"
" AI think it's a joke. Someone just projected a large image into the sky." Usagi answered after she let out a large yawn.
"I think it was the aliens. They're trying to take over Tokyo I tell you." Unimo said as he pop out of no where next to Usagi.
" Unimo you've been watching too many trashy science fiction movies. They are starting to rot your brain." Naru sighed at the school nerd.
" So do you guys think we should go?" Usagi, Naru, and Unimo heard someone in the back of the class ask.
" No one is going anywhere tonight. The city has given a curfew of ten o'clock to everyone under the age of twenty-one and a curfew of eleven thirty to those over twenty-one." Haruna stated as she entered the classroom.
"Yeah! Besides if you have time to be playing at night, you should study at home." Usagi exclaimed.
Haruna looked at Usagi before she rushed over to where the girl's desk was placed. "Are you alright Usagi?" She placed her hand to Usagi's forehead to see if the girl had s fever.
"Hai I'm fine Haruna-san why?" Usagi asked with a puzzled look on her face.
" Usagi I think you should go home for the rest of the day I think you are sick. Don't worry about it being counted against you I will excuse it." Haruna ordered Usagi. Usagi never ever thought that it was a good thing to study so there had to be something wrong with her. Usagi shrugged her shoulders but did as she was told to do.
"So she told me to go home because I was sick. How wrong is that? Can't a girl make a simple statement every once and a while?" Usagi asked as she took a bit of her ice sundae. She had decided to stop at the arcade for a few rounds of games, get something to eat and to talk to Motoki.
Motoki laughed at the blond girl before him. She could be quiet amusing at times and this was one of those times. " Actually I don't think Haruna-san was wrong at all. You rarely think it is wise to stay home and study. You are always in here blowing your money away in my game machines." He shouldn't have did that because Usagi's eyes started to get watery. " Don't take it the wrong way Usagi we just happened to like the normal Usagi. Here you go have another sundae." Motoki switched out the empty ice cream dish with a full one.
Happily content she ate her sundae and left leaving the money for her first sundae on the counter where Motoki could see it. Usagi headed around the corner and out if the window sight of the Crown Arcade when she jumped for joy. As she landed she realize she had lost her shoe.
" Why must you always harass me every time when we meet?" Question on oh so familiar male voice from behind her. " Ne Odango Atama am I some kind of target you use for target practice?"
Usagi snatched her shoe the man. " Oh stuff it Mamoru. I'm in a happy mood and not even a jackass like you can ruin it."
" Oh I'm hurt Odango Atama." Mamoru placed both his hands over his heart and forged a look of hurt. " You called me a jackass."
" Whatever Jackass." Usagi replied as she put her shoe on and walked away from the scene of her crime.
"Well it's one o'clock where is he?" Asked an inpatient Rei as she clutched her henshin wand in her hand.
A train then pulled up infront of the three senshi. The train cart door opened as if telling them to get on. Getting on the door closed and the train jerked forward which caused the three girls to fall onto each other.
" I'm scared Ami what if this train is hunted?" Usagi asked she held onto Ami's arm as if it was the only thing protecting her from the ghosts that had yet to make their presence known.
Rei smirked at her blond friend's antics. "I thought you said you weren't scared of ghosts?"
Usagi sent a glare at Rei. " I said that I wasn't scared of the ones at you temple baka."
" A ghost is a ghost Usagi and they are gonna get…you." Rei then grabbed Usagi's sides as they went into a tunnel and it got dark. Usagi let out a scream swung her hand at the thing that was attacking her. Her hand connected with something. " What the hell was that for Odango Atama?"
" I thought you were a ghost and that what you get for scaring me." Usagi explained her retaliation.
Rei rolled her eyes as she rubbed her head. " Whatever."
" Well you two stop it we are here to stop Jadeite and with you two acting like this he will definitely be able to defeat us because we are not acting like a team."
" I eye captain Ami." Rei and Usagi saluted the blue haired girl.
The train came to a halt and the doors opened. Several policemen stood outside of the train. Something is wrong here, it just doesn't feel right." Rei stated going with what her instincts told her. She was right too because as soon as they got off the train the policemen tired to attack her and the girls.
" Mars Power Make-up!" Bright lights and rings of fire surround Rei as she transformed. The lights and the heat from the rings of fire made the men back away from Rei.
Following Rei's example Ami stepped out of the train and transformed. Usagi still inside of the train transformed too. Bright lights, ribbons and mist filled the area as Ami and Usagi transformed. When everything cleared Sailormoon and Sailormercury stood in their places.
"They're made of sand Mars." Mercury shouted as her visor appeared over her eyes and she fought off the zombie like men.
" Stand back you don't wanna get burned! Fire Soul!" A blast of fire engulfed the sandmen as Mars leapt out of the way. "Let's go I get the feeling that Jadeite isn't going to be in here." Sailormars then proceeded to lead the three senshi to the outside of the airport.
"I will finally be rid of you pesky Senshi once and for all." Jaedite said as he appeared on top of one the airplanes.
Now that I know two of the three senshi's real identities I should be able to destroy them with easy.
"You have been saying that for, what is it now, eight or nine weeks. And each time we always kicked you butt and you youmas' butt too. When are you going to get serious?" Moon stated as she crossed her arms of her chest.
Mars nodded her head in agreement." And every time one of us is close enough to make an attack on you, you runaway back to the Dark Kingdom and your Queen."
"You three have foiled my plans for the last time, and you shall pay dearly for it."
"Whatever you say Jaedite." Moon said in a bored tone as she ran her foot over the smooth concrete ground.
Mercury looked at Mars and Moon and shook her head, making her dark blue hair fall into her eyes. Brushing the hair away she turned her attention back to Jaedite.
"You won't be saying that when I kill you." Jaedite commented before he disappeared.
Moon yawned and turned to the red dressed senshi. " He made an illusion that the entire city was on fire so that he could get us out here and tell us he is going to kill us...I could be getting my beauty sleep right now for my date with Sanjouin tomorrow night..."
Sailormoon's voice was downed in a loud sound as she and the others heard the airplanes' engines start up.
Sanjouin? That's Nephrite's earth name! Can it be that that pesky Sailormoon is actually the Tsukino Usagi that Nephrite is dating in his human form? Queen Beryl will be pleased with information. I must be sure that I do not kill Usagi. I want her to die a more slow and painful death for humiliating me in front of the lower class youma and Queen Beryl.
