Chapter 1: Bunny and Miaka Meet

Bunny and Pearl were sitting in a both at the Crown Cafe in mid June. They were waiting for Darien and Jade. They were talking about this and that and didn't notice the two girls sitting in the both across the aisle from them. Miaka and Yui had, likewise, not noticed them.

Two waitresses came to the two booths at the same time. Bunny smiles and said, "I'd like a 3 scope chocolate sunday please." While across from her Miaka asks, "Can I please have a chocolate sunday?"

When the sundays were delivered Pearl looks at Bunny, "You know, we're meeting the guys here for lunch." At the exact same time Yui says to Miaka, "You know, we're meeting the guys here for lunch." The four girls jump and for the first time look at their neighbors, just as Miaka and Bunny say "But I'm hungry." This started Miaka and Bunny laughing.

Yui turned to Pearl, "Well it looks like we both have the same problem."

"Yup, a bottomless pit," Pearl agreed. "I'm Pearl. It's nice to meet you."

"I'm Yui. My friend here is Miaka."

"And I'm Bunny," Bunny added, expecting the now normal response of surprise because they hadn't recognized Princess Serenity. To her relief Miaka and Yui just acted normal.

"So who are you meeting here?" Miaka asked, after she and Yui had joined Bunny and Pearl.

Bunny smiled and Pearl answered, "My boyfriend Jade and her fiancé Darien."

"What a coincidence," Yui exclaimed. "We're meeting my boyfriend Tetsuya and her fiancé Taka."

"That's weird," Bunny and Miaka said at the exact same time.

"No, you two are weird, eating ice cream sundays before lunch," Pearl contradicted. She was ignored as Bunny and Miaka polished off their sundays.

While all this was happening, four people bumped into each other outside, on their way into the cafe. "Oh, excuse us," Darien said.

"No problem," Taka replied.

"You two seem to be in a hurry," Jade commented.

"Yeah, well we're meeting my girlfriend and his fiancé inside," Tetsuya admitted.

"Really?" Darien asked. "We're meeting his girlfriend and my fiancé. How strange."

"Yeah," Taka agreed. "Anyway, it's nice to meet you. I'm Taka and this is Tetsuya."

"I'm Darien and this is Jade. We better get inside before the girls get mad."

So that's how Darien, Jade, Tetsuya and Taka came to be walking in to the Crown Cafe at the same time. When they did come in Pearl and Yui looked up and waved, "Over hear." Pearl looked at Yui, "Who were you waving to?"

"My boyfriend. Who were you waving to?"

"My boyfriend. I wonder how they know each other?" Pearl posed.

They guys, needless to say, were wondering how the four girls came to be sitting together as they joined them. "Hi Buns," Darien said as he slid into the seat next to her. "Who are your new friends?"

"Hello Darien, Jade. These are Miaka and Yui," Bunny replied, pointing to them. "We just meet. So who are your new friends?"

Before Darien could answer Taka was sitting next to Miaka, "Hello, I'm Taka and this is Tetsuya. We meet Darien and Jade outside."

Miaka and Bunny looked at each other and started to giggle. "What's so funny?" Jade asked.

Pearl srugged, "It's just that a lot of strange coincidence have been happening between those two today."

"Like what?" Tetsuya wanted to know.

"Well," Yui explained. "First they both ordered chocolate sundays, before lunch. Then we discover that they are both meeting their fiancés here. And now we find out that you four meet outside. Maybe it's fate."

Bunny had stopped giggling by then, she looked at Darien, Pearl and Jade, "We do meet a lot of people because of our destinies." The other three nodded.

Instead of asking what she meant Miaka changed the subject, "So when are you planing the wedding for?"

Darien and Bunny smiled at each other. "Tomorrow," they answered together.

Then Bunny turned to Miaka, "How about you?"

Now it was Miaka and Taka's turn to smile at each other. "Next week."

Just then the waitress came over. They all ordered lunch, and the new comers were surprised at Bunny's and Miaka's appetites.

As they ate Yui laughed, "I never thought I'd meet anyone who could match Miaka's appetite."

Pearl laughed as well, "Nor did I think anyone could match Bunny's."

As they ate they all talked about the up coming weddings. They were all very excited about them. When they finished Bunny sighed happily, "It seems like we've been waiting for this for so long."

Miaka nodded agreement, "You're right. Just when I thought we were completely happy, something always happened."

That's when Yui and Pearl both realized that there was something too similar about these two girls. Like maybe they both had a "secret adventure" that involved their loved ones. Yui was about to mention it when Pearl made a suggestion. "Why don't you four come over to our place. I think we might have more in common then we think." Everyone agreed and they all headed over to Bunny and Darien's apartment.

When they arrived at the apartment they were instantly greeted by a black cat with a crescent moon on her forehead. "Ohhh, what a cute cat," Miaka cooed. "Can I hold her?"

Bunny smiled as Luna jumped into Miaka's arms, much to Miaka's surprise and delight. "Her name is Luna. She can be very friendly, to the right people."

They all settled down in the living room. Luna jumped onto Bunny's shoulder. "There is something different about these four, but I can't place what it is," she whispered.

Bunny nodded then turned to her guest. "Well why don't we get to know each other," she suggested.

"Yes lets!" Miaka agreed. "We hardly know anything about you."

Bunny and her old friends were a little surprised by this. Ever since the Redeans had come two years ago, and their secret identities had been revealed, they had become use to everyone knowing who they were.

"You mean, you don't know who we are?" Darien asked.

Tetsuya shook his head, "Should we?"

Pearl giggled, "Well, everyone else knows us. Or at least those two, by name."

The others still were confused. Jade shook his head and smiled, "Haven't you guys heard of Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion? Who commonly go by the names Bunny and Darien?"

The others thought about it. "I sort of remember hearing something about them," Yui finally answered. "Me too," Tetsuya agreed.

Bunny, Darien, Pearl and Jade laughed. This made the others a little uncomfortable. Bunny saw that and said, "It's okay. Actually it kind of refreshing, meeting some people who don't know who I am."

"So, you're a Princess?" Miaka asked. "Maybe the way Hotohori used to act isn't so unusual," she added more to herself.

"Hotohori?" Jade asked.

"It's a long story," Taka assured them. "Anyway, we're more interested in learning about the Prince and Princess here."

"Ours is a long story too," Darien explained.

"Yeah, over a thousand years long," Bunny murmured. "It all started when I lived on the Moon..." Now Bunny, Darien, Pearl and Jade explained all about the Moon Kingdom and the Golden Kingdom. Then about how Queen Mettalia came and everyone was reborn. After explaining about how everyone was reunited they ended with how the people of Tokyo found out about their secret identities.

"And since then there hasn't been any need for the Sailor Scouts," Bunny finished up.

"I find it some what amazing that you haven't heard about any of this," Luna admitted. They had also explained about the talking cats.

"Well, we've had some strange adventures of our own," Yui admitted.

"Yeah, very strange," Miaka agreed. "They all started when Yui and I found The Universe of the Four Gods in the National Library..." Now it was Miaka, Yui, Taka, and Tetsuya's turn to explain about going into the book and summoning the beast gods. Then how Miaka and Tamahome were reunited only to be pulled apart. They ended with how Miaka was then forced to choose between Tamahome and Taka, who then became one. And how everyone from the book had been reborn into reality.

"So now we are finally all back together," Miaka smiled.

"Wow, of all the stuff that's happened to us, at lest we've never been pulled to another world," Bunny recalled. "That must have been tough."

Miaka nodded, "Especially when Yui and I got separated at the beginning. But I think finding out I had magical powers would be harder."

For the rest of the day, they compared their different stories. They discussed the problems they had had, and tried to figure out what they would have done in the other persons place. One thing they all noticed though, were the many similarities between Bunny and Miaka. It was almost like they were twins or something.

Finally, they had to split up. After all, Bunny and Darien had a big day tomorrow. "You have to come to the wedding," Bunny insisted. "That way you can meet all of our friends."

"Well, alright," Miaka agreed. "We'll see you tomorrow then."
