Chapter 15: Ideas are Formed

On Tuesday everyone started going to school again. The scouts had to start observing Bunny. They figured an easy way to do that was to see how she behaved at school. Luna, Artemis, and Diana still followed the others to school. It was easy for them to go unnoticed.

When Bunny, Molly and Melvin arrived at school they were very cheerful. They said hello to everyone with a genuine smile. They were greatly disturbed by the fact that everyone was depressed. "Have you noticed how depressed everyone is?" Bunny asked.

"Yeah. We really should do something about it," Molly observed.

"I'll talk to mother and father about it," Bunny stated. "I could use my crystal to heal everyone, but it would take a lot of energy."

That's when Lita, Mina and Ann walked into the classroom. They had to walk by Bunny, Molly and Melvin to get to their seats. None of them were sure how they would be regarded.

As Lita passed her Bunny looked up, "Hello," she said with a smile.

Lita jumped. She certainly hadn't expected to receive a cheerful greeting from Bunny. "Ah… ah… Hello," she stammered, managing a small smile. "How's it going?" Mina, Ann and Lita couldn't help but hope that this was a sign that Bunny wasn't completely evil.

"Everything's fine," Bunny replied. "Things couldn't be better."

Lita, Mina and Ann nodded and went to their seats. They were all alittle disappointed. "I had hoped that she was going to say she missed us or something," Mina admitted.

Molly leaned toward Bunny, "Did you see how hopeful they were when you said hi to them?"

Bunny giggled, "I know. They are so shallow. They think that I'll just turn back to them."

"But you showed them," Melvin admitted. "And the look on their faces is priceless."

The rest of the day went much like the morning. Molly, Melvin and Bunny tried to be as cheerful as possible toward everyone else at school. They hopped that seeing others happy would cheer up the other students.

The scouts and their friends, however, were getting more and more depressed. They couldn't believe how happy Bunny looked. They had all been hoping that being evil would make her, somehow, un-Bunny like.

By the time lunch came around they were all ready to quit. "I guess this proves that Bunny really has turned," Hotaru sighed.

"But why do you think that she and Molly and Melvin are so concerned about people being depressed?" Jet wondered. "Wouldn't you think that the Redeans would try to keep them from noticing?"

"Maybe the Redeans are ready to move onto the next step in their invasion," Artemis indicated

"And what's that?" Pallas asked, worried.

"Creating order in the chaos they created," Luna divulged. Everyone sighed. It was bad enough trying to figure out how to get Bunny back. None of them were really up to fighting the Redeans invasion.

Bunny was only somewhat enjoying her lunch. When Molly and Melvin noticed this they were slightly worried. 'Could Bunny possibly be missing the Sailor Scouts?' they asked themselves.

"Bunny, what's wrong?" Molly asked.

"What? Oh, I was just wishing there was something I could do for all these poor people. I hate seeing them all depressed," Bunny answered.

"Don't worry. I'm sure the King and Queen will think of something," Melvin assured her. When lunch was over they returned to class, and then to their apartment. As soon as they were there Bunny went through the mirror to see her new parents.

Back at Darien's apartment everyone was comparing what they had seen that day. Besides the fact that Bunny seemed perfectly happy being evil they hadn't noticed anything very different about her.

"It's almost like she hasn't changed at all," Lita commented.

"What I find strange is that she's still concerned about the people of Tokyo," Amy admitted.

"You're right," Luna agreed. "I wonder if the Redeans are planing on using her to bring around their order."

"Luna, what will happen if Bunny uses her Silver Crystal for evil?" Pearl asked.

Luna sighs, "I don't know. The Crystal gets it's power from Bunny's strong love and caring for the people of Earth. If she still genuinely cares for the people the Crystal might not be affected."

No one liked this answer. The Silver Imperium Crystal was very strong, they didn't think there was anyway to beat it.

"Is there any force, that we could use, that is stronger then Bunny's Silver Crystal?" Hotaru wondered.

"Well, Rini's Crystal might be just as strong, only it can't be used in the past," Luna explains. "And Darien's Golden Crystal, I don't really know anything about. It might be strong enough to defeat Bunny's Crystal, but that would mean that Darien would have to actually fight against Bunny." They all looked over at Darien, who still wasn't himself. "I'm not sure he could do that."

"I certainly wouldn't want to be the one to tell him he had to fight her," Kunzite admitted, and all the others agreed.

"Mother, Father, I'm worried about the people of Tokyo," Serenity said after greeting her adopted parents.

"Yes daughter. Ralcea and I knew you would be," Rodo acknowledged.

"In fact, I have an idea that might help, at lest alittle," Ralcea proclaimed.

"Oh, I knew you would," Serenity smiled.

"So what is your idea?" Molly wondered.

"Well, I know how much Serenity enjoys her music. She works on it very much. All the same she has only ever been in one concert," Ralcea started. "So I thought that you could arrange a small concert for your school."

"That's a wonderful idea!" Melvin exclaimed.

"It really is Mother. I'm sure the principal will let me. She has to be worried about the way all the students and teachers have been acting lately," Serenity remarked. "And I'd love to be able to help them with my music."

"Why don't you go back and contact her then," Rodo suggested. Serenity nodded and she, Molly and Melvin returned to their apartment.

After they had left Rodo turned to Ralcea, "So what is your plan for the concert?"

"What makes you think I have a plan for the concert?" Ralcea asked, alittle to sweetly.

"Because I know you, and you always have a plan," Rodo responded.

Ralcea giggled, "You are right. I figured that we can use Serenity's music to bring the people under our control. At the concert she can reveal the 'truth' as to what the scouts are doing, and offer the people our help."

"That is a sensational plan," Rodo agreed. "Serenity's sweet music will win the people over beautifully."

When Bunny suggested the concert to her school principal, it was received thankfully. They arranged to have it that Friday afternoon, a half hour after school got out. The principal did have one suggestion, that Bunny ask Michelle to perform as well. They had done such a wonderful job during their concert two summers ago that she was sure the students would love it. Bunny agreed.

"I can't believe you agreed to have Michelle in your concert Bunny," Molly shared as they walk back to their apartment after their meeting with the principal.

"Yeah, I would think having rehearsals with her would be the last thing you would want," Melvin agreed.

Bunny laughed, "Well, it might not be high on my list, but think how much the scouts are going to hate it… I mean we will perform all my songs from back in the Moon Kingdom so it will remind them of that. Plus they will have to see me trying to undo the damage they have done, and enjoying myself without them."

Molly joined in Bunny's laugh, "You're right, they will go crazy!"
