"You sure going to Tokyo for spring break is a good idea?" asked an 18 year old red haired girl.
"Well it's better than staying in Cali for it." answered her identical twin brother.
"Our friends would call you crazy about now." she laughed.
"Now, now Aleisha, I'm not crazy I'm Dark." he winked. "But hey, at least I'm not all bubbly whenever an earth quake hits!" Adam accused. "It's like you're not scared of being sucked into the earth."
"I shine light on depressing times, not like you." Aleisha said darkly.
"Whatever." he said, and walked out of her room.
"Well don't forget to pack!" Aleisha yelled at the back of her brother.
"I can't wait to see Serena.' Darien smiled to himself as he looked at the calender date circled with a heart. 'I wonder what's she's up to, she hasn't sent a letter to me in weeks.' his mind started to worry. 'I wish I didn't have exams this week though!' he growled out loud.
"Studying getting to you Chiba?" his room-mate laughed out loud.
"Yeah." Darien sighed, but turned around with a smile.
"You have a girl back home don'tcha?" his room-mate, Steve, said once he remembered.
Darien grunted.
"What's so special about her to make you actually not study." he said, trying to sound concerned.
"I was thinking on giving her an engagement ring, but she hasn't been contacting me lately." Darien said bitterly.
"Planning a wedding are you, when you still have two years of practicum left." Steve smiled. "Can she wait that long for ya?"
"Of course, it's been planned, I just have to set it in stone so to speak." Darien chuckled, but in the back of his mind he was really worried.
"Whoa, you are one serious person, Chiba." Steve shook his head. "No wonder you didn't even let Denise flirt with you at the party last week."
"I was more in the studying mood that day." Darien laughed, reminising on the day.
"Hmm, well next spring break invite your little doll over here and we'll party till the moon falls from the sky." Steve clapped Darien on the shoulder before leaving the dorm to find his girl of the month.
'Hmm, since Princess Arianna broke the prophacy slightly, I might as well speed up the ending.' Star Dust the cat smiled to herself. Transforming into her human form with the help of her emerald amulet, she went looking for the perfect place for the two to meet.
Arianna, Sora, Haruka, and Michelle were walking around town. The older females were getting quite fed up with Arianna's complaints of boredom.
"I always liked danceing and volleyball." Arianna piped up.
"It's too late to join volleyball." Haruka informed the group sadly.
"Dancing is not a good idea either." Ari sighed. "I'm too old."
"Never, you're healthy and fit. As long as you dance just for fun you'll be just fine." Ruka winked.
"Ever thought of taking up an instrument or painting?" Michelle asked, even though she disliked hearing newbie musicians.
Ari shook her head.
"She wouldn't be able to sit that long anyway." Sora laughed.
Michelle pouted slightly, "I know a few recreational centres that may have what you're looking for." she caved.
"Hmm," Haruka nodded, "do you have any hobbies?"
"Running." Ari answered.
"Whining about life." Sora pipped up.
"I used to ride horses." Ari added.
"Picking fights with everyone." Sora informed the group.
"I started to make a quilt but got bored."
"She tried to fix a few communicators, but they blew up."
"Oh I love climbing!" Ari said sounding very proud of herself.
"We should make you a schedual, something your scout duties won't interfere with." Michelle said in a pondering way.
Ari ran up ahead ignoring what was being said, she was soon jumping up an down in front of a building.
"Never in my life have I seen such a hyper child." Haruka shook her head as she caught up with the boucing teen.
"Jazz team," she smiled, "it just started a week ago and I heard Stary's brother put her in. Please please please?"
"Okay, lets go get the forms." Michelle smiled.
Ari smiled and jumped around a bit more before Sora growled for her to stop.
"Oh Dean?" Stary said in a sing song voice.
"Yes?" Dean's reply didn't sound enthusiastic.
"Can we go to a resterant, like one of those fancy ones you have to make reservations for?" Stary batted her thick eye lashes barely showing off her amazing green eyes.
"What for?" he asked.
"I haven't had British Columbian imported rainbow trout for so long. I can't stand the canned stuff any more." Stary licked her lips at the thought of missing that awesome dish.
"True, and I've been hungry for Snow Crab for a while now." Dean agreed, and heard his gaurdian's tummy growl. He chuckled, "I'll make reservatioins for Friday, after your dance class, alright?"
"Eightish?" Star asked.
"Fine."
"Thank-you you're the best human on earth." Stary hugged her 'brother' and went to phone Arianna, to make her own plans.
Serena was pacing her bedroom with a determid face on.
"Serena stop pacing please, you're making me nausious." Luna demanded of her charge.
"I can't I'm just too anxious. Darien is coming home for the spring break on Friday." Serena turned on her cat.
"Why are you so anxious?" Luna asked.
"I don't know, it may be because I'm feeling a bit guilty for not mailing him and informing him on our current situation." Serena sighed.
"I doubt he'd be mad at you for that, Serena." Luna said, still watching her charge pace.
Serena sighed loudly again, but soon her face brightened up again, "I know, I'll make reservations at his favorite resterant for the night he returns!" Serena bounded downstairs to retrieve the phone.
Vanessa was sitting on Roxna's bed waiting for her, well actually she was trying to get away from Caleb, or "The infected one's" incessant whining of Patrick's death. Nessa could not see how those two became a couple, they are like so unlike each other. Okay so they are both pompous, but like Caleb and Stephen are such a better match dispite that Stephen totaly has the hots for me. Roxna blinked in, seemingly happy.
"Why are you in my room?" she inquired with a raised eyebrow.
"Caleb. He thinks I have an open ear to his desprete cries of mourning for Patrick. I, like need space, and well he doesn't like you." Vanessa came out with the truth.
"Uh, you're higher ranking than him, can't you like blow him up then?" Roxna asked.
"I'll think about that, if he doesn't stiffen up by the end of the day." Ness smiled. "So anyway, I hear through the grape vine," the child chuckled, "that you're next in line. What are you going to do about Arianna?"
"I'm going to invent something with the energy I gathered this afternoon."
"Fun, you must clue me in if it works."
"Of course," Roxy smiled, 'NOT' she added in her head.
Vanessa made a purring sound and bowed her head, with pointed odangos, slightly. Then blinked out.
Arianna was surrounded by Star and Cera at her desk.
"So you have karate lessons, dance lessons, violin lessons, plus homework all this week?" Cera stared at Ari in shock.
"And a date with me on Friday." Stary had to add.
"Don't mind me if I fall asleep in school." Ari said, already looking raccoonish.
"Cera, Arianna," Julie shouted from the back of the class room. "Are you interested in joining our cheerleading team?"
Stary looked up a bit hurt.
"When?" Ari asked, happy for a challenge.
"Monday, Thursday, and Saturdays." Julie answered.
"Sure." Ari smiled, really not knowing when to stop putting stuff on her plate.
Cera glared at her friend, Ari shrugged.
Cera and Arianna were trying to keep up with a rotiene the cheerleaders were doing, when Roxna walked onto the field.
"My you girls look wonderful." Roxy commented like she was older than them.
"Yeah, of course!" Kim said in a snobby voice.
"Well not for long." Roxy said under her breath, from her spring coat she produced six clear balls and threw them at half the team.
The balls didn't do anything at first until Kim picked one up and scoffed, "Trying to trip us up Capris?" she dropped the ball and five team mates were caught up in spheres.
Roxna laughed evilly, and transformed into a satyr. "I can't belive how long I pretented to be your freind, Pince, and I didn't get rid of you."
Arianna gasped with the rest of team, Capri took out more balls and threw them down directly in front of the rest of the team. Ari, Cera, and Julie jumped out of the way. Ari made a rash desicion and transformed into Sailor Sun, Cera transforming with her.
"I can't belive you're my enemy Roxy!" Sailor Sun said through gritted teeth.
"Well belive it." Capri smiled.
"Come on Sailor Sun," Nemisis urged her friend to make the first move.
Sailor Sun sighed inwardly, and gathered her energy for an attack, "Sun Flares Flash." Sun yelled out an attack that was simmilar to Mars'celestial fire.
Capri created a force field that absorbed the attack, she started to laugh once again. Sailor Sun and Nemisis used their solid attacks of throwing stars, and arrows, but Capri jumped out of the way. Capri brought out more orbs and threw them at the girls.
Sailor Sun used her Flare attack, while Nemisis used Orbit again. The orbs exploded in Sailor Nemisis' face and was out cold like Julie who was just cowering behind her. Sailor Sun was having a hard time keeping her eyes open after the orbs blasted a few meters away from her.
"This is what I'm talking about!" Capri smiled happily, even though she used up all her orbs already.
"Stop right there you feign!" came a melodious voice. "I'm Sailor Neptune, gaurdian of Neptune."
"And I'm Sailor Uranus, Protector of Uranus. We're here to stop your evil plots." Sailor Uranus and Neptune walked onto the scene.
"Oh I'm so scared." Capri sneered sarcastically.
"Well you should be." Uranus said confidently.
Capri was very smug about her situation. She brought out a pan flute and started to play a tantalizing song. Uranus' eyes went blank while, Neptune tried to shake off the feeling of being controled.
"Guys! Don't let her control you." Sailor Sun yelled hoarsely, trying to keep from sleeping standing up.
Capri played a high note and soon Sun felt very heavy.
Sailor Moon, the other scouts, and Sora ran onto the field and looked horrifically at the scene of girls being drained in spheres.
"We are the Sailor Scouts of the solar system and we say stop what you're doing!" Sailor Moon yelled angrily at the satyr.
"Yeah huh..." Capri said, after lowering her flute. "I belive these are also Sailor Brats from this system, stronger scouts than you I hear." she said smugly.
"You haven't met Sailor Moon!" Sailor Jupiter said.
"Girls, watch it!" Sora said under her breath.
"Don't worry, we can handle her." Sailor Moon smiled.
Sora held her breath. The scouts attacked the small satyr, but their attacks barely phased the monster.
Mercury searched the area quickly. "Sailor Moon, the spheres are her power source!" she called out.
The other scouts got the message and half of them attacked the spheres without luck. The other half was holding in fairly well with Capris.
"Hey girls!" a male voice called out. "Keep that thing busy, I have a plan!"
Sailor Courage came out, sounding a lot friendlier. The Scouts nodded their agreement, and attacked Capri with full force, still barely phasing the monster. Courage was sliceing each sphere open with his sword, and each girl fell out looking grey and blue around their mouths. They breathed carefully, but did not move. A combined attack from the scouts now, made Capri fall her her knees.
"I still have strength enough to destroy your friends." Capri sneered. She got up slowly and blew a single long low note on her pan flute, the earth started to shake violently almost knocking the scouts from their feet. A large chasm was opening along where Sailor Nemisis, Julie, and Sailor Sun were unconsious-like, and growing toward the hypnotized Neptune and Uranus.
"No!" the scouts cried.
Sailor Courage used a jumping power like Tuxedo Mask's to save Nemisis and Julie, but when he reached Sun he couldn't budge her. She was too heavy for him.
"The flute!" Sora barked, hearing other flute sounds mixed with this new low note.
Sailor Jupiter used "Jupiter Thunder crash!" and dusted the flute, leaving an electric silence in the air.
Sailor Sun collasped in Courage's arms as he sighed in relief.
"Sailor Moon now!" the scouts yelled.
"Silver moon crystal power kiss!" Sailor Moon cried out, and the satyr turned back into Roxna, her original dark sailor scout outfit blinked on and off. But that image was almost too quick for the eye before she stayed a little girl, and she blinked out.
"Good one Sailor Moon." Uranus sighed, stretching her muscles getting use to moving again.
"I have to admit, you girls are pretty impressive." Courage smiled.
"So were you." Sailor Venus fluttered her eyelashes at him.
"Thank you for helping." Sora said with a bow.
"You're very welcome, I got to go now. It's been a pleasure, ladies." he smiled again and left, leaving the girls' mouths hang.
Arianna woke sorely on her bed. Looking around her head started to pound as she remembered what had happened. Slowly sliding out of bed she went to look out if it was daylight. Walking into the living room she looked into the rising sun. 'Oh that's just swell.' Ari sighed and flopped onto the couch. Watching as the day got brighter, her eyes closed and a fuzzy vision of a golden castle formed behind her eyelids. Opening her eyes again she had an actual happy feeling, something that rarely happened since she was kiddnapped.
