Okay, writer's block over. I'm back & ready. I don't own Sailor Moon.

Friday arrived & Serena was waiting outside for Maxfield. "That's weird. He wasn't in school today, but he told me he would pick me up."

So she waited & waited & waited. Finally, after an hour, she sighed out loud. "Guess he isn't coming." She felt a little disappointed, but began to walk home when she heard honking.

Looking up, she barely dodged a purplish sports car coming straight at her! She rolled on the cement, acquiring scratches & bruises.

She finally stopped rolling & looked up, wiping the blood off the corner of her mouth. "How rude." she said out loud as she watched the car drive away, but something was thrown at her from the window.

"What is this?" she stood up & limped over to the thing. It seemed to be a note. Opening it, she read:

Serena Tsukino
You better watch out. We're coming for you.
A 'friend'

Serena stared at it, question marks above her head. "What the heck does this mean?" she threw her hands up in aggravation until she heard another honk.

Ready to dive again, she was relieved when she saw the red sports car & Maxfield getting out of it, looking worried.

He ran over & helped her up completely. "What happened? Are you OK?" he asked, holding gently onto her arm.

She nodded, blushing. "I'm fine. Just a psycho almost ran me over." she laughed weakly.

"Well, maybe we shouldn't cook today…" he started, but Serena interrupted him.

"No! I want to. I'll be fine. Lets go." She walked over to his car when a clap of thunder was heard.

"Aa…" she squeaked, jumping up. She ran to the car & got in. She shut the door & motioned for him to come.

When he wasn't coming, she was confused. She waited for him to move, but he just stood there in the rain that had come. "He'll catch his death of cold." she murmured & ignoring her fear, jumped out.

"Come on. It's freezing out here." She grabbed his arm & attempted to pull him in. He wouldn't move though.

"Come on." she pulled him harder with all her might, but he still didn't budge. "Please. I don't want you to get sick." she felt tears run down her face, but couldn't be absolutely sure.

He suddenly ripped his arm away. She backed up when his eyes looked at her. They seemed cold & unfriendly. "Maxfield, what's wrong?" she whimpered, ignoring the thunder around her.

Suddenly, a clap of lightning was heard & Serena let out an involuntary scream, but she didn't run.

"Maxfield, come on. Lets go." she walked over, but he backhanded her!

She flew backwards into the mud, but stood up again. "Please Maxfield. Come with me. We can go get dry."

He lifted his hands & created what looked like a giant ball of lightning! "What's that?" Serena asked out loud, but still didn't move.

He shut his eyes & threw the lightning at her! It seemed to be a perfect hit, but once the smoke cleared, 5 figures were seen.

Maxfield's eyes glazed over & a black light covered him. He came out in an outfit similar to the blonde one's before.

Serena watched, eyes showing tears of hurt & confusion. "Maxfield…" she started walking towards him, but a gloved hand stopped her.

Looking up, she gazed into the blue eyes behind Tuxedo Mask's mask. 'They look so familiar…' she thought, but turned her attention back to Maxfield.

"Stupid sailors! I will defeat you today!" he laughed as he created another energy ball.

Serena felt herself being picked up & carried away from the blast. She clinged to TM as he jumped from building to building, avoiding blasts.

"Why is he after us?" she asked, but she realized. "No, he's after me."

TM said nothing, but held her closer as he jumped again. She felt his tiredness & told him. "Put me down."

He shook his head. "Can't do that. Sorry."

She stared up at him. "But you're getting tired…" she started again.

"It doesn't matter. All that matters is that you're safe." he said, not noticing her blush.

"But why?" But to this he didn't answer.

She reverted her attention back to the battle & watched as the scouts battle her 'friend.'

"Shabon Spray!" Ice put her hands together & a large bubble formed. As the bubble gathered energy, she spun around & it rested in front of her hands. She sent the bubble out, & it turned into hundreds of bubbles that seemed to blind Maxfield.

"Supreme Thunder Dragon!" Thunder's tiara formed a lightning rod, & lightning shot down onto it. She formed into a ball while lighting gathered all around her. She extended herself and released all the electricity at Maxfield. The lightning then changed into a dragon and attacked.

He dodged both attacks & attacked with his own. "Energy Attack!" The dark energy hit Thunder & Ice, sending them flying backwards.

"No!" Serena screamed, squirming, but Tuxedo Mask wouldn't let go. "Please. Let me go." She begged him, but he didn't answer.

"Ice! Thunder!" Love shouted. She turned to Maxfield & growled. "You'll pay."

She created two crescent moons back to back as a white light formed around it. The light turned into bubbles and Love threw her finger into the air and gathered its energy. She then pointed her finger towards Maxfield and shouted out "Crescent Beam!"

The string of hearts flew at him, but he dodged it easily. Creating another energy ball, he threw it at Love, who barely dodged it. But another one hit head on, sending Love flying backwards as well.

"No…" Serena cried, clinging onto Tuxedo Mask, tears flowing down her eyes. All he wanted to do was hug her & make her stop crying, but he focused on the battle, realizing what he must do.

Serena felt herself fly upwards & opened her eyes to see Tuxedo Mask jumping away from the battle. "What are you doing? We have to go back!" she screamed, hitting him.

"I have to get you away before something happens." he said as he leapt onto a tall building, finally putting her down.

She slid to her knees, sobbing. "Why? Why did we leave them? They might die…" she cried, clutching onto her skirt.

TM watched her, but did nothing. He felt his heart beat harder at her sobs, but he didn't do anything.

She cried until she heard a blast coming from the battle area. "No!" she screamed, jumping up to run over, but she was stopped again.

She weakly pushed against his arm, crying for him to let her go. When he didn't, she slid to her knees; or would have if he let her. "Why…?" she sobbed.

"Because it's destiny." he said, turning to go. But she clutched onto his arm.

"You're not going there, are you?" she asked, looking up at him with tear filled eyes & a tear stained face.

"I have to. You'll be safe here. Just take the stairs down & wait." He leapt off, leaving the poor girl sobbing.

"Please be careful…" she whispered, standing up to go inside the building. What she didn't know, was that she seemed to be glowing.

Whoa, that was wayyy more dramatic than I thought it would be. Please RR
