I'm so sorry that I've been like gone for months…well, I'm back. Sorry to keep you waiting. I pinky promise that the next chapter will be up soon enough!

Chapter 3: More introductions? I don't like this one though…

Ashley had decided to move in with Darien since her apartment was too far from school and Darien had a car. On the weekend, he and Ashley had gone to Pottery Barn to buy furniture for her room. (AN: I love PBTeen!)

"How's this Ashley?" asked Darien, holding up red sheets. Ashley cringed.

"Ew! That would completely clash with the rest of the apartment! I need something that's light, and not so dull. Lavender! That's the perfect color!" She exclaimed as she picked up a set of light lavender sheets with faded Hawaiian flowers. She then looked for the rest of the bed set. (Pillows, comforter covers, etc.) She then noticed she didn't have anything to decorate her room with. She spent two hours in the same store looking for fresheners, cute little stuffed animals, posters, curtains, and other misc. items to add to her room. At the end of the night, when they returned, Ashley and Darien placed everything in her empty room and fell asleep instantly.

Ashley woke up to the smell of bacon, sausages, waffles, and coffee. She grinned and stood up. She put on her fluffy purple slippers (that she'd bought yesterday ) and walked into the kitchen. She slapped her hand over her mouth and snuck out of the kitchen, making sure Darien hadn't noticed her. She went into her room to retrieve her camera. She came back to the kitchen and found Darien where she saw him last, wearing a 'kiss the cook' apron with flour all over his ebony hair and on the counters. She couldn't help it but laugh. 'Ok, picture now, laugh later.' She told herself. She readied the camera and snap! Darien heard the sound and whipped around to find his baby sister on the floor laughing her guts out with a camera clutched in her hand. 'Oh, it's on now.' He smirked. He composed himself and smiled sweetly.

"Alright, Ashley; if you feel this is the way it has to be, then you can just have your own breakfast as I enjoy my wonderful, delicious waffles, sausages…" he continued to grin, not noticing Ashley getting up, and sneaking off with a plate of the wonderful breakfast. She tiptoed into her room and locked the door.

10 minutes later----

"C'mon, Ashley! Get out here now! I spent all morning getting that breakfast ready. It's perfect and you have to take it!" Darien, (changed) had spent the last 10 minutes coaxing Ashley to open the door and give him his breakfast. Yes, he had some, but she was smart enough to take her share plus most of his. Darien was about to walk away when he heard a door creak. Ashley peeked her head out and walked outside, facing her brother, who's face was completely pale, staring at the empty plate in her hand.

"Darien, Darien. One thing you have to understand is that I like to eat, and nothing gets between me and my appetite." She waved her finger at him. In the silence, a pin could be heard across the street. Sensing the tension, Cascade walked out.

"Well, don't we have a party to attend to?" Both brother and sister snapped out from their 'own world' and stared at Cascade.

"Oh, yeah. Um, I'll start getting my stuff together in my room." Ashely commented as she put the empty plate in the sink and returned to her room. Darien sighed, knowing he lost and sulked to the kitchen, to clean up what was left of his breakfast. (AN: I know the breakfast thing was a little random, but I though it would be funny.)

At around 3 o'clock, the doorbell rang and Ashely, wearing a mini-skirt and t-shirt opened the door to find Ami and Lita at the door.

"Hey! Come on in…" welcomed Ashley as Ami and Lita went to greet Darien and Cascade. By 3:45, everyone except Serena had arrived. Raye was pacing around the room.

"I knew it! Serena is always the one late! Plus. Lita's wonderful food is getting cold!" As if on cue, the doorbell rang. Raye shot up and opened the door to find a Serena.

"Serena! How are you so late? Do you realize that we've all been waiting for you for, like forever!" Raye blew up.

"Jeeze, Raye, keep it down, would ya? It's killin my ears!" Serena covered her ears with her hands.

"Well, if you'd arrived early for once, then maybe I wouldn't have to yell at you!" Serena and Raye were on the verge of killing each other. Everyone else was watching in pure amusement. Luna walked in the door and knew this had to stop. She jumped up, and scratched both girls down their arms.

"OWWW!" they cried, simultaneously. Luna smiled and sat next to Artemis and Cascade.

Dark Lair:

A man with a dark cloak watched Ashley's party though a glass ball. His metallic hands ran around the sphere in amazement.

"All this energy, in one place; it's wonderful!" he laughed evilly. 'The Chosen one is probably here. All I have to do it find her.' He raised his hand and an ugly monster appeared, down on one knee.

"You summoned me, your greatness?" he kept his head down.

"Yes. I have detected a large amount of energy. Abnormal energy, exactly what we're looking for. I want you to go and bring me back what I need!" the cloaked man's voice boomed through the dark, desolate room. The monster bowed and disappeared.

Back at the party, everyone was watching The Incredibles. During the movie, Raye sat straight up. She, being a priestess, sensed something.

"Guys, I sense something evil. Hurry transform." (AN: Sorry I didn't put this in here before, but during the arcade, where Ashley was talking about her childhood, she revealed herself as Sailor Earth.) Following Raye's sensing, everyone raced toward where she felt the strongest vibes. They didn't have to go very far. Across the street, the Scouts and TM (Tuxedo Mask for future references.) found the same monster (from before) attacking the trees, water, and everything…but the civilians.

"That's weird. He's not attacking the people." Sailor Mercury noticed as she analyzed the scene with her mini computer.

"Looks like he's looking for something." Sailor Jupiter walked closer. The monster turned to look at them.

"Ah….i fell the energy coming from you. Now, all I need is the Chosen One!" he charged. Everyone was ready to attack. The monster shot spikes at everyone. Everyone had jumped out of the way with ease.

"He doesn't seem to be trying. Looks like he's trying to look for something." Sailor Earth powered up for an attack. As she held out her hand, a spiked whip materialized in her hand.

"Earth Deadly Earthquake!" she cracked the whip against the ground and the ground split, with the monster falling into the pit, and the ground closing up again. Sailor Earth collapsed to the floor, unconscious. Everyone ran up to her. TM was the first one to get to her.

"Ashley! Wake up, please!" he lightly shook her. Cascade ran up to him.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine, just a little tired. It's been awhile since she's used that attack." She shook her head, remembering old times.

"What do you mean, 'old times?' asked Sailor Venus.

The cloaked man smiled. 'So we have found our Chosen One. Now, to get her.' He smiled evilly.

End Chapter 3

AN: I'm a little rusty at this, so please don't be mad. I accept suggestions but please no flames. Chapter 4 should be up soon.
