A Sign of bad things to come

The next morning, Ami got dressed after Serena called her since she had wonderful news. Ami walked over to her closet as she put on a blue miniskirt with a white t-shirt and a dark blue vest over it. She then headed out the front door of her house as she walked down the sidewalk to the Ice Cream shop. As she walked along, Ami noticed Darien leaning against a store wall with a depressed look on his face. "Are you alright, Darien?" Ami asked as she walked up to him. Darien sighed as he looked at her "Me and Serena got in a fight last night." He said sadly. Ami nodded as she watched him. "Do you want to come with me and talk about it?" she said softly as she stood infront of him. Darien nodded as he got off the wall, walking with Ami as he looked at the ground. "Well, it started when I tried to call her on her phone, but every time I call her, the line is always busy. I then found her out on the street as she got mad because she thought I never called her.." Ami nodded as she continued to listen to him and walk at the same time, but there was something that bothered her as she wondered what the good news that Serena called her to tell her.

"Well, she called me and told me that she had wonderful news to tell me and the other scouts." Ami said as she wore the rose that William had given her the night of the dance. Darien then noticed the rose as he smiled some. "I take it some lucky guy gave you that rose, huh Ami?" he said as he looked at her. Ami looked at the rose and nodded, a bit of blush can be seen from her cheeks as she smiled "Y.yes, it was." Darien nodded as he smiled at her "What is the lucky guy's name, Ami, if you don't mind me asking?" he asked politely. She nodded as she looked at the rose still "His name is William Dickey. He is a kind, sweet and gentle boy." She said as she had a soft smile on her face. Darien smiled some more as he kept on walking with Ami "Well, he seems so special to you. By the way he treats you, he thinks you are one special girl, Ami. I'm glad you have someone to have and hold." He said. Ami nodded again as she then took her gaze off the rose and looked back up at him. "I'm sorry about what happened to you and Serena, Darien." She said as she walked along still. Her heart pounded as she thought of William. She herself couldn't believe she was acting like Serena in a way, but she didn't care. She loved him with all of her heart like he loved her the same way.

Once the got to the ice cream shop, Darien held open the door as Ami walked in. Darien walked in after Ami since it was the polite thing to do. Darien and Ami walked over to where Mina and the others were as Serena was with a guy with white hair and was a bit taller than she was as he held her hand. William was there also as he turned and looked at Ami, getting up as he walked over to her, kissing her cheek "Hello Ami. I take it you slept well." He said softly as he moved the black bangs from his face. Darien smiled as he looked at William "I take it you're the lucky guy Ami was talking about. My name is Darien." He said as he extended his hand out to William. William took Darien's hand and shook it firmly, taking his own hand back as he nodded "Yes, I am. You must be one lucky guy to have a girl like Ami" William nodded as he looked at Ami "I do feel like the luckiest guy around." He said as he kissed Ami on the cheek. A light blush appeared on her cheeks as she held him closer with a soft smile on her face. Darien looked over at the man holding onto Serena's hand as he looked over at William "Who is that man that is holding Serena's hand?" he asked as he slowly looked back at the stranger among the group.

William looked back at the man who held Serena's hand as he looked back at Darien. "From what Serena told everyone, that is her new boyfriend. His name is Nova, but I can't see why she chose a guy like him and dumped a guy like yourself." He said as held Ami. Ami gasped softly as she heard what William and Darien talking about as she looked up at him. "Is that really what happened?" she said as slowly moved a bit away from William. William nodded as he looked at Ami "That is what I heard from her when she brought that guy in here." Serena then looked over at Darien as she glared at him "Oh great, just what I need to ruin my day." she said as she looked at Nova. "Hunny.. let's get out of here." Darien blinked as he then walked over to Serena "Serena..we need to talk right now." he said as he stared at Serena. Serena moved her arm away from him as she looked at him angrily. "I don't think we need to talk any further.. we are through." she said as her and her new boyfriend walked out of the ice cream parlor. Darien sighed as he looked down, clenching his fists as he watched Serena and the guy, feeling so depressed as he stood there. William slowly walked over to Darien as he set a hand on his shoulder. "I'm so sorry that had happened to you. I know how you feel." He said as he took his hand off. Ami walked over to William as she held onto his arm. Darien then walked out with a depressed look still on his face. Rei had a angered look on her face as she had also watched Serena and Nova leave. "I can't believe that she did that to Darien.. Darien didn't deserve to get his heart thrown out by that little brat." Rei said as she pounded her hand on the table. Mina looked at Rei and the others as she sighed. "I don't think Serena had a right to do that. Darien is such a great guy." Mina said as she looked over at Lita. Ami looked over at William as she looked back at the rest of her friends. Lita tossed back some of her hair as she looked at everyone. "I don't see how Serena's and Darien's relationship could have caused them to break up." She said as she looked down.

After Mina and the others had left the ice cream parlor, they headed off to the park since it was a lovely day to have a picnic. William had to leave early due to some errands he needed to run as Ami had stayed with Mina, Rei, and Lita. The four of them were there as they sat near the lake, thinking about what happened. "I don't see why Serena would dump Darien over a guy like Nova." Rei said. Just then, a scream was heard as the four girls ran over to the sound. An innocent girl was being attacked by a Negaverse youma. The youma had a long silk dress, purple hair and green skin and red violet eyes. She was drawing closer as she looked at the helpless girl. "Come here and give me your energy.." The youma said as she grabbed the girl. Ami and the other girls were nearby as they were hidden from view. "We have got to stop that Negaverse creep.." Rei said as they pulled out henshin wands and raised them up in the air. "Mercury Power Make Up!" Ami yelled as the sign of Mercury glowed from her wand. "Venus Power Make Up!" Mina yelled as the sign of Venus was glowing from her wand also. Rei held hers in the air as the sign of Mars appeared on her stick "Mars Power Make Up!" Lita did her transformation as well as they appeared where the innocent girl was. The youma looked at the sailor scouts as she hissed, "Who are you?" she said as she glared at each of them. Sailor Mercury glared at the female youma as she stood infront of Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Jupiter.

"We are the Sailor Scouts and we right wrongs and triumph over evil." Mercury said as she stood there. "And we are here to punish you!" Venus said as she stood next to Sailor Mercury. The youma then growled as she let loose a few energy blasts at the scouts "I'm Kyokoyn and you will not stop Lady Ayea's conquest of this pitiful world's civilization!" she yelled as the blasts headed toward the scouts. The scouts split up as they got into a defensive position as they looked at each other. Sailor Venus then held up her finger as a chain of yellow hearts made of a yellow aura surrounded her. "Venus Love Chain Encircle!" she yelled as the chain was wrapped around the youma. Kyokoyn smirked devilishly as she was able to break out of the chain. "Hah, you think that weak move would hold me?" The scouts were surprised that a youma was ever strong enough to break from that attack. Mars then put her hands together as a ball of fire appeared at the end of her fingertips, then concentrated as she her closed her eyes. Mars Fire Ignite!" the senshi of Fire yelled as the fireball headed toward Kyokoyn. The dark youma then held up a hand as a dark forcefield was formed around her, destroying the attack that Sailor Mars made. "Th.that was impossible.that attack should have hit her by now."

Kyokoyn then held out her hand as it gathered energy "Here, let me show you a real attack!" she said as she closed her hand, then swinging it as she let looks a spread of energy blasts, blowing up as the scouts were knocked off their feet. Hurt and shaken up, the scouts tried to get back on their feet. Kyokoyn then spotted Sailor Mercury as she formed a whip made of vines and lashed it at the senshi of ice, wrapping around her ankle. "You are coming with me, missy!" she said as she pulled Sailor Mercury over to her. Ami tried to get out of it, but the blast had knocked most of her energy away. "G.get away from me!" she said as she tried to get out of the grip of the whip.

Meanwhile, William was walking along the park as he was invited to meet up with Ami and the others for the picnic. Just as he had gotten there, he spotted the scouts and Kyokoyn in the area as he hid in the bushes. "Oh no, the scouts are in trouble. I have to help them." he said as he then pulled out his henshin wand, which looked different from the sailor scouts` but it had the sign of Mercury on it as he raised it into the air "Mercury Evolution Make Up!" he yelled as the sign of Mercury on his wand appeared.

(A/N: Will William be able to save Ami in time or will Ami be carried off to her doom? Tune in next time and see what happens.*smiles* I always wanted to do that ^_^)
