To Many Moons

Attempt to Scout nap

AN: Thanks for the reviews guys. I know how I want this to end, but how to get there is hard. Thanks my few reviews, I feel like writing again! And I do plan on finishing it, but don't tell anyone, but I had forgot about the story until a recent review, also I have been grounded, lol. Us writers always get in trouble.

Rini clung onto Hotaru hard; she didn't know what to do.

Eventually Hotaru started to breathe normal again. Rini smiled, she put Hotaru in bed and right as she was done she heard a knock.

"Who could it be?" Rini thought. "Who is there?" She asked while holding tightly to her wand.

There was no answer.

All of a sudden she heard people banging on the door. Eventually the door came down. "Stop where you are or I will…"

"What?" said two of the girls were at the door? "The rest of them are tired too." She was now looking at Hotaru, or Sailor Saturn. She was about to step forward when Rini got in front of her.

"No!" you can't have her, she is ill, she can't defend herself.

"Neither can you" One girl pushed Rini aside and straight into the wall. Rini tried to get up, but she could barely move.

"Stop!"

Hotaru opened her eyes, "Rini" she said very weakly. Rini got up. Hotaru was about to stand up, but the girl picked her up and put her hand on Hotaru's forehead.

Rini was about to fight her, but the other one stopped her, "Now what do we do with this one?"

"Well, she is a member of the moon, I think we should let her live… for now"

They opened the window to go out, when the new scouts came in, "What do you think you are doing" they said in unison.

The two looked back, "Well, well, you actually think you four can handle us?"

Then another voice came, "Well with my help we can," Serena dressed like Sailor moon came out.

"What the hell is this? Where are the others" The girl holding Hotaru asked. The other just stood in front of her in fighting position.

"Well," Serena started, "Your guys left, and the rest of the scouts are very weak for some reason… Would you know?"

The girl growled and went straight to attack. "Tethys, wait, no" the other screamed. Right as she got close to Serena she was hit, and bounced right off an invisible barrier.

"Tethys, are you okay?" The girl was shaking the other one; she could barely open her eyes.

"Encleladus, take her and go. Leave me behind." Tethys whispered. The other girl closed her eyes, she couldn't carry both.

She stood up, "Damn you 'Sailor moon' it is not fair. I know you're the older one and who you are, but you have no right to use your crystal this early in the game!"

"Fair… Game…you are making no sense." Serena said.

The girl cursed under her breath, she laid Hotaru down on the bed and grabbed her friend. "What are you doing?" Tethys asked.

"You and I, together, will come back another day and finish this." She backed slowly to the window and jumped out and ran very far away bouncing in the air. The Quartet was about to go after them, when they were told to stop by Serena.

Rini held Hotaru close. "Mom, will she be okay?" Rini asked her mom.

"All the scouts are very weak, but that should be nothing that a little rest wouldn't cure."

Rini let Hotaru sleep in her bed. She didn't want to disturb her. The others slept in guest rooms. Serena didn't know why her, Rini and the Amazon Quartet didn't have the same effect.

Serena and Rini were very different now. Rini was less carefree, and Serena was much wiser. For some reason they felt they had to be.

Serena felt that Rini needed someone smart to help her. When she was young she had Luna, and now Rini seemed very distant. Amy, Rei, Hakaru, Micharu, and everyone else seemed to need to rest for awhile. A day or so and they woke back up, but they couldn't stay. Not everyone. Rei and Lita stayed. They told Andrew and Chad to take care of everything for a little while. Amy had many advisers to watch the planet. Mina had to stay at her home planet. It was too sensitive to be left alone. Hakaru and Micharu had to get back, but Trista stayed. Nothing bad could happen. She had a small planet to take care of, and she could manage, from Earth. Hotaru continued sleeping for a week.

Serena continued to train the Amazoness Quartet, with Darien's help. Serena was much harder on them in training. It was very necessary now. Rini trained by herself most of the time, in Hotaru's gym. Rini couldn't stop worrying about her. She would find her self staring of into space sometimes, and others she would be breaking things, and crying. For some reason, Rini was a mess.

"Well well well, what have we here?" An evil stern voice asked. She was upset, but still managed to keep that evil grin on her face.

Encleladus was standing next to Tethys. Encleladus was in a lot of trouble. She didn't finish her mission of bringing the Princess.

"Did you forget the mission?" Once again the lady asked but not really giving her a good question. If she answered no she would be in trouble. If she answered yes she would be in more trouble.

"Answer me!" The lady grabbed the arms of her chair.

Encleladus was about to answer with an "I am sorry", but before she could anything, Tethys stepped in front of her.

"I am sorry, it was my fault. I should have left, but that damned woman was getting under my skin. She was switching our words, and messing with my head. I attacked her, and I got hurt. She had a barrier that I didn't see. So I got hurt. It was my fault…"

Encleladus couldn't let Tethys do this to herself. She had to step in, "It was my fault too. I could have got Hotaru and left Tethys, but I didn't, I am sorry".

They both bowed again. The lady was so mad, her hands were shaking, but then she calmed down. She smiled again; she knew what was going on. She didn't mind, this may take longer, but she needed to seem like the nice one, like that Serenity one was the evil one.

"You poor child" They both raised there heads. They both had a look in there eye that said, "What did she just say". She saw it but decided to ignore it.

"You girls are like my daughters. We can get her again some other time; I couldn't lose either of you.

"You girls may leave now. You girls can take a break too. I let someone else take over from here". The girls looked at each other then bowed one more time and left.

The queen was alone again to her thoughts.

"I should have known I couldn't trust them. I have to be nice though. I couldn't have them on if they were going to continue to fail. They are to preoccupied by each other. I will have Saturn. Then with her power in mine, I will be the strongest in the universe!"
