Well first off thank you to everyone who reviewed what I'm hoping to be the first chapter. So basically, I am going to carry on whenever I can (probably only updated once a week, thanks to school work).

So I don't own Sailor Moon, as much as I wish I did. Also I'd like to point out that I am going to use the Japanese character names from here on out, but keep in mind I wasn't lucky enough to watch the Japanese anime, or read the manga. I was brought up on the English dub and the Japanese versions translated into Portuguese (don't ask).

So if I do get something a little wrong, please don't feel the urge to freak and start flaming. Critiscism is appreciated, something along the lines of "this is crap, this shouldn't happen" is not.

Anyway enough of me being boring, here's chapter 2.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone had settled themselves down in Rei's room in their usual places. Ami on the chair, Minako on the bed and Makoto on the floor opposite Rei. Artemis had taken to his usual place beside Mina, but Luna was unsettled.

Well everyone is, thought Rei to herself. Ami was sitting bolt straight chewing her lip and looking at nothing. Minako wasn't stretched out as usual, she too was sitting up. Mako was crossed-legged as usual, but the look on her face was a lot different than normal. Rei could only imagine what she looked like. She cleared her throat;

"So.....shall we start?" Everyone looked up but was silent. Eventually Luna stopped pacing and cleared her throat too.

"Her parents don't know. I went straight back there and now they think she's staying with a sick aunt. It will buy us time at least."

"Time for what?" exclaimed Mako who'd obviously been holding herself back these last few days, "What are we doing about it? So far we've just sat around waiting; we have to make the first move!"

"You know we can't do that," (Ami, ever the voice of reason) "it isn't logical for us to do anything, we don't know what state she is in."

"What do you mean what state she's in?" asked Minako. Raye found herself yelling for no reason;

"Well what do you think they've done to her? They have the crystal; they have the princes who can use it! They have... everything."

"QUIET!!" screamed Luna as everyone began shouting too. It was obvious that everyone had been getting more tense since that night, everyone was turning into tightly wound toys, and to her it was a sure thing that they would soon explode if they didn't keep a level head.

"We must NOT think like that Raye. We have no idea where they have taken her, or what they have done, but we mustn't assume the worst."

"Why not?" Minako's voice was barely audible. "Why wouldn't they just kill her and take the crystal?" Luna saw she was nearly crying. Even though she was the newest scout, she and Usagi had been close, almost like the sister's they physically looked like. Artemis had come to sit next to her, and his voice was grave.

"Luna is right, we can't think like that. If they had decided to do that, don't you think they would have attacked by now?" Artemis assumed the silence was an agreement and went on; "We can't tell what they're thinking, but we can prepare and be ready, which is the whole point of this meeting. We are meant to be planning what we can do." Luna nodded;

"Artemis is right. We are still the Sailor Scouts, and we still have a job to do. We have to protect the Princess, and that means fighting against Queen Beryl, not thinking the worst and not preparing ourselves. And think, we aren't the only ones. I haven't seen him, but I dread to think how Mamoru is taking this..."

Usagi knew she must be dreaming. It was one of those horrible ones where you couldn't really remember much. The last thing she remembered was going up in a lift with Chiba, there had been something important.

She remembered transforming.... wait why had she let him see her transform? He'd know who she was then?But there was something else..... what had happened after that?

Usagi had this awful image of Tuxedo Kamen-sama. He was in danger, and she'd saved him hadn't she? Was he hurt, why didn't she save him? And what had Darrien done after he had found out? This didn't make any- 

Oh god she was going to be in trouble with Luna.

"How is she Kunzite?" Queen Beryl's voice was silky smooth as she approached. Kunzite bowed before turning back to watch the girl's pale face.

"I'm not sure my Queen, but it doesn't seem to be working. It has been three days and yet the memories remain." Kunzite was waiting to be reprimanded, but nothing came. He looked and saw the Queen looking down in pure calculation.

"It is the crystal. We must remove it from her, or we will not be able to turn her. Its power is too strong."

"But my Queen.... we cannot take it from her while she is like this. You see how her hands clasp onto it so tightly." It was true. For three days Sailor Moon had remained how she was, clasping onto the newly formed moon stick and muttering occasionally.

"Well then, we must wake her up.... and take it from her."

"But my Queen, surely it would be easier to simply kill the girl-" Kunzite was cut off before he could finish his proposition. Queen Beryl did not need to raise her voice to strike terror into anyone;

"Kunzite. I will not have you challenging me. There are two things I will not tolerate, disobedience and inability to complete your tasks, as you should well know by now. You will contain the princess and remove that infernal thing."

Kunzite would have to obey her; he had no choice. But looking down on that childish face, in its pathetic Sailor fuku was just making him want to reach in and choke her. Kill Sailor Moon slowly, have her beg for her life....

Just like his Zoisite had never had time to do. Kunzite sighed and turned away, there would be a reason for this, and he would be able to kill one of them soon.

Well that was considerably longer, but I hope you enjoy. I would hope you could point out any mistakes in a cough, cough review. Any ideas/ thoughts? I want to make this plausible, not just an excuse to have everyone proclaim their undying love for each other in the last chapter. Thank you!
