"It's getting dark!" Serena whined as Ami dragged her down the street to Hikawa Shrine.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of the dark," Ami teased.
"No! It's just that there are many other thins I'd rather be doing rather than coming to some boring old temple!" Serena said, dragging her feet even more.
"You mean like Darien?" Ami joked in Serena's ear.
Serena squealed and scrambled away from Ami. "No! You pervert!" Serena yelled, trying to hide a smile. Then they reached the steps that led up to the shrine.
"All right, I'll look around down here while you go on up and see what you can find, okay?" Ami said, and Serena nodded and slowly went up the stairs.
"Stupid stairs…why are there so many, anyway…Stupid Ami 'oh, I'll look down here'…" Serena grumbled as she slowly trudged up the stairs. When she finally got to the top, she did enjoy the view. She could see the beautiful purple-pink of the sky and the red sun falling below the trees. Serena just stood for a while, taking in this beauty.
"Find anything yet, Serena?"
Serena screamed and leapt up onto a tree branch. The voice scared her and she looked around for its owner. She shrank down to about three inches when she saw who it was. Damn cat. "Luna! What are you doing here?" Serena asked as she got down onto the ground.
"I knew better than to trust you, even with Ami's help," Luna said nonchalantly.
Serena answered with a glare and then began to look around at the buildings instead of the scenery. There were several smaller huts and on large one. Serena saw a long line coming out of one of the huts. Serena walked over to it and stood in the line. She read the sign on the hut. 'Romance Good Luck Charms—ONLY $5!' Just what I need…Serena thought idly. Then she saw a head of brown hair walk by her. She turned around and recognized it. "Molly!"
Molly turned around and replied, "Serena!" The two friends hugged and smiled at each other. "I haven't seen you in forever! How have you been?"
Serena hid her frown. She knew why they hadn't seen each other in a while. It started with Serena and Darien making out for the first time. It was just a downward slope from there, and away from Molly. "I've been pretty good. You know…"
"Yeah…" Molly said, and Serena felt bad about the tone she used. Then she perked up. "So, Serena, you need romance charms?"
Serena laughed. "Yeah, what about you, I notice you didn't leave empty handed."
"Well, I thought maybe it would make Melvin either buzz off or kiss me. Either one's fine." Both girls laughed. "Well, Serena I gotta go. You know how my mom is!"
"Ha, yeah, okay, well, it was nice seeing you!"
"You too," Molly said, but she was already walking away. Serena turned around and watched Molly leave with remorse. Then, suddenly, a purple vortex appeared and sucked Molly in with loud screams.
"MOLLY!" Serena screamed. She whipped around to get help from whoever was running the booth when it exploded. In its place, the too familiar form of the Negaverse's general Jadeite appeared. The blast knocked Serena to the ground on her side and she slid several feet. "YOU! What did you do to Molly!" she yelled, her voice strained.
Jadeite cackled. "Foolish little girl. She was just like the rest of them, as are you, a stupid, naïve, love struck little brat!" With that, Jadeite gathered a fireball in his hand and threw it towards Serena.
"Serena!" Luna called, but Serena had already gotten up and out of the way. She glared back at Jadeite.
"I'm gonna dust your sorry, Negaverse ass!" She grabbed her brooch, raised it to the air and shouted, "MOON PRISM POWER!" Pink lights immediately began to form around her.
In the middle of Serena's transformation, Rei Hino ran out of the main building. She was wearing the traditional priestess garb, a white shirt and red skirt. "Jade! What's all this racket?" she demanded. She stopped when she saw the tiara form on the famous heroine, Sailor Moon. "Hey! What are you doing here, Sailor Moon?" she demanded.
"Don't worry, miss, I'll have this jerk taken care of in a second!" Sailor Moon responded, not noticing the anger in the priestess's voice.
"Listen, I appreciate it, but it's my duty to take care of the evil spirits here, so you're unneeded."
"Oh, you 'take care of evil spirits.' Not too good at it are you?" Sailor Moon said, pointing to Jadeite. Rei seemed to just realize he was there. She looked wide-eyed at the general who was floating in the air.
"I know just what to do to get rid of you!" she said and withdrew a sacred scroll. "Evil Spirit Disperse!" she cried and threw the paper at Jadeite. He caught it in his hand and it disappeared in flames. "What? That's impossible. That was my most powerful scroll!"
Jadeite saw the opportunity to kill the priestess and lunged for her. Sailor Moon saw this action and quickly caught on. She rushed towards and barely got Rei out of the way in time, sending Jadeite face first into the ground. He let out a howl of anger and turned to Sailor Moon. She ran towards him, but he grabbed her by the throat and threw her against a tree. Then he snapped his fingers and another vortex appeared. "I don't have time to deal with weaklings like you! Take care of them, Kareta(what I'm naming the monster)!" Rei, Sailor Moon, and Luna all got sucked into the portal.
Serena and Rei landed with a thud, but Luna, of course, landed on her feet. "Owie," Serena whimpered, rubbing her rear end and throat alternately.
"You!" Rei said, pointing to Serena. "This is all your fault!"
"My fault?" Serena demanded. "I was fine until you showed up!"
"Would both of you just shut up!" a harsh voice said from the darkness. Then the monster showed itself. It had red hair, and ugly, bruised yellow skin. "So, which one wants to go first?"
Sailor Moon shrank down behind Rei. "I think she wants to go first," she said, trying to change her voice. Rei and Luna sweat-dropped.
Rei nonetheless stepped forward. Instead of facing Rei itself, Kareta waved her hand and several schoolgirls from Serena's school attacked Sailor Moon and Rei. Luckily, Rei managed to force most of them into submission with sacred scrolls. Then, Luna noticed Rei's forehead developing an oddly familiar mark. Then she recognized it as the symbol of Mars, marking Rei as Sailor Mars. She did her back flip and summoned the Mars pen.
As soon as the pen appeared, Rei noticed it and picked it up. She looked down at the black cat that had seemingly created this and the cat nodded. Rei raised her transformation stick and shouted "MARS POWER!" Serena watched in awe as rings of fire began to encircle the priestess and then stopped, revealing Sailor Mars.
Sailor Moon finally had a chance to get at the monster. She pulled off her tiara and sent it towards Kareta. The monster caught it, but then Serena commanded it to trap the monster. "Sailor Mars, wanna finish this one off?" Sailor Moon asked.
Rei was preoccupied to pay attention to what was going on. "What? Oh, yeah!" Then, calling on a power that was previously dormant, she called upon the fires of Mars. "MARS FIRE IGNITE!" A jet of fire went directly at the monster, incinerating it. It died with a scream of pain. With the monster's death, the dimension they were in also dissipated (cool word, use it often). Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars found themselves back at Hikawa Shrine. About two-dozen other girls also found themselves back at the shrine. It took a lot of convincing, but they all left believing it was a dream. (Or so the Sailor Scouts hoped.)
After the girls had left, Moon, Mars and Mercury were let alone to talk. But before they could discuss the new addition to their team, a man in a tuxedo and top hat came huffing and puffing up the stairs. "Sailor…Moon. Are…you…ok?" Then he paused to take more breaths and swallow. "Where's the monster?"
Sailor Moon frowned at him. "You have got some nerve," she said, approaching him with a threatening finger pointing, "First, you leave me alone for the attack in the school. You are so lucky that Mercury showed up. And THEN! Then you show up twenty minutes late to the next attack!" By now she was in front of him, poking him in the chest with her finger, "You have got some explaining to do!" she said, emphasizing every word with a poke.
"OK, first off, I am so sorry about the whole school attack thing. And as for being late here, did you see how many damn stairs there are?" Tuxedo said, rather lamely.
Sailor Moon regarded him seriously for a moment and then said, "I forgive you," and then, as an after note, she said, "for now."
