:::::::[Darien's place]:::::::
Darien was studying for a test that was two months away. Yawning, he told himself that he should go to bed. He went in the bathroom and came out all ready for bed. As he walked toward his bed, he realized that it had started raining. Pushing away the curtains, he sat and looked out.
He loved it when it rained. It was so peaceful. So serene. He sighed. Looking over at his side table, his eyes fell on the picture of his parents and himself. Picking it up, he looked at it. Sadness had always been a part of his life, like air he breathed. Putting the picture back, he lay down on his bed and pulled his covers over him. Just as he was about to fall asleep, a painful headache tortured him.
"No! Not again!" he said painfully. He sat up and held his head.
:::::::[At the park]:::::::
'I am so dead.' Serena thought to herself. She heard Luna cry out "Look out SailorMoon!" but she couldn't to anything. Suddenly, she felt something warm embracing her. Opening her eyes, she found herself in the air. She heard heart beats in her ear and looked up.
"Tuxedo Mask! You saved me!" she exclaimed. Yes, once again Tuxedo Mask has saved SailorMoon sorry butt. The same mysterious guy that she dreamed about at night. The same guy she compared with every guy, especially Darien, with. The same guy that had stolen her heart in the first sight.
Just as Tuxedo Mask landed away from the monster with SailorMoon safely in his arms, Coa (Author's Note: say "Ko ah") made it's mouth form a big 'O'. Then Coa sprayed out brown liquid that looked like coke. Again, Tuxedo Mask jumped away with SailorMoon in his arms. This time they landed behind Coa. When SailorMoon forced herself to pull away from Tuxedo Mask's warm embrace and stand up, she looked to where the liquid was sprayed. To her surprise, it was if the brown thing was acid because on the ground was a big hole.
'Ooh my god! If that even touched me...' Serena thought, a bit panicky. Coa turned and smirked at them. It again started firing metal disks and acid liquid. They dodge them all. Tuxedo Mask, having enough, turned to SailorMoon.
"SailorMoon, I'll distract it. When its not looking, use your tiara." he told her. When she nodded he dashed toward Coa. "Over here!" he shouted as he used his cane to poke Coa's face. Coa growling, took after him.
'He's so brave.' Serena thought, with her heart pounding. She went on daydreaming until Luna showed up next to her feet. Luna gave her a look and Serena returned to her fight pose. Looking at Tuxedo Mask, she saw him dodge an acid attack by spinning his cane. Just as she was about daydream again, Serena saw Coa shoot a tap at Tuxedo Mask. It acted like handcuffs and trapped him. He dropped his cane, which lay helplessly at his foot.
"Now SailorMoon!" he encouraged.
"Right!" she replied. She closed her eyes and touched the gem on her tiara with her thumb and index finger. Serena opened her eyes as it glowed along with the tiara itself and the tiara came off. Then she held it like a Frisbee as it turned into a spinning golden disk on her hand. Striking the pose of someone throwing a Frisbee, she called out, "Hey can face!!" Coa turned around and looked at SailorMoon. "Moon tiara...!" Coa realized what was happening and tried to attack her, but in vain. "Magic!" Coa ran, but the disk hit it on the back. It screamed loudly as it turned to dust. The heavy rain washed it away.
"YES! Ha ha! Moon dusted!" As SailorMoon enjoyed her victory, all the damage Coa had done healed itself. When the handcuff-taps disappeared Tuxedo Mask picked up his cane. When he pick it up, the cane seemed to disappear. Then he walked up to SailorMoon, who was receiving good marks from her guardian cat. Seeing Tuxedo Mask, Serena looked up at him.
"You've done very well SailorMoon." he said, his voice heavy as before. Serena wished that somehow the wind would blow off his hat so the rain can grip the mask and pull it down. 'Then maybe I can tell who he is!' she thought. She beamed at him.
"Thanks! You were great yourself!" Serena told him. He smiled and was about to walk off when Serena grabbed his gloved hand. He raised his eyebrow as he looked at her. Her bangs were beaten down to her forehead, her buns loss it's roundness, the red glove she word stuck to her like second skin like her whole out fit, her sailor fuku was dripping along with her body. Not that he was in much better shape himself. His hat felt heavy, his pants stuck to him, his cape hung lifelessly on his shoulder, and mask was kind of annoying and even though he had a tuxedo on, he felt cold.
"Tuxedo Mask, please tell me who you are. Are you my enemy or my friend?" Serena asked, her eyes please. Now she REALLY wish she could just snatch off the mask so she can look at him in the eye. Inside, Tuxedo Mask was having a battle with himself. He couldn't remember anything except him being SailorMoon's savior. He smiled at her.
"All you need to know is I'll be there always. So long!" With that, he jumped on a tree and disappeared. Serena sighed. She really wanted to know who he was. Then she suddenly remembered about going back home when she felt Luna rub against her. De-morphing, she sighed. Why couldn't he just tell her who he was?! Is it because he didn't trust her? Serena sighed again. She'll never get the hang of that guy. Shivering, Luna and her dashed toward their home. As she ran, Serena thought of a good excuse she would have to say to he parents.
:::::::[Morning at Tsukino's]:::::::
BEEP! BEEP! screamed Serena's digital clock. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BE- it's scream was interrupted when she slammed her fist on it. "Stupid thing..." she muttered. Turning over, she glared at the dumb thing, and it glared 7:30 AM right back. 'Five more minutes won't hurt. I deserve it after last night's fight anyway.' she thought, as she went back to sleep.
:::::::[35 minutes later]:::::::
"NO!!" A golden flash zoomed to the bathroom, zoomed out. Then it quickly flashed downstairs, stopped for a millisecond to grab something and shout something at someone, and then flashed out the door; it slamming behind her. Inside the house, where the golden flash was, Mrs. Tsukino shook her head.
"I can't believe I'm late *again*." said Serena to no one in particular as she ran. By passers gave her weird looks but she took no notice of them. She ran as fast as she could, the only thought in her head was to make it to school as less late as she possibly can. Just as she was thinking 'I hope I don't bump into anyone.' she felt herself run into someone. 'Great. Me and my clumsy self had to ruin someone's day.'
"I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking at where I was going. I'm sorry!" she apologized without looking up. When she heard the victim groan she looked up. 'No... Why'd it have to be *him* I bump into?!' she thought, groaning inwardly.
"Jeez Meatball Head, why don't you watch were you're going?" Darien said rubbing his chest where Serena's head hit. Serena glared at him, but decreased its fire a little. He didn't look too well. He looked a little pale and like he needed sleep.
"Darien, you okay?" she asked. Even though he was a jerk, she was concerned for him. His blue eyes looked down at her.
"Yeah I'm fine." he muttered. Then he smirked as he remembered something.
"Meatball Head, you better continue running. It's already 8:10." Darien saw Serena's eyes widen and he laughed. When he blinked, he saw there was no one in front of him anymore. 'What? Where she go?'
"DON'T CALL ME MEATBALL HEAD YOU JERK!" Darien heard from somewhere. Turning at the direction the shout came from, he saw a blonde run an amazing speed. Shaking his head, he continued his way toward the arcade with a smile on his face. As he walked, his thoughts turned toward what happened in the morning at this apartment.
:::::::[Darien's apartment earlier in the morning]:::::::
A very tired Darien woke up hurting all over. Sitting up, he massaged his forehead by rubbing his thumb and middle finger from the temple to the middle. He had a light headache from what, he didn't know. Grunting he stood and walked sleepily to his bathroom. He turned on the light took his toothbrush. Darien looked at the mirror and surprise filled his eyes. His sleeping cloths looked like as if he wore them when they were wet and it dried on him. It was wrinkly and hard.
"What the?" he muttered. Quickly finishing his morning routine, he walked out. While he ate his breakfast, he thought. What happened? Why was he so tired? He went to sleep in a fair time. What about his cloths? When he had worn them last night, he had just taken them out of his drawer. So it shouldn't be all wrinkled and hard.
Shaking his head, he washed the dishes he used and put on his jogging cloths. After his jog, he took a shower and then got ready for work. Locking his door, Darien slowly walked toward the arcade.
:::::::[Darien at after work]:::::::
Darien didn't understand why all these weird things happened to him. Constantly he found himself in odd places when he was somewhere else. He found his body hurt in the morning sometimes. Other times he found little bruises on some parts. He shook his head again, clearing his head of those thoughts. He entered the arcade and was greeted by Andrew.
"Hey Darien. What's up?" Andrew said as he looked up from reading the newspaper. Darien's best friend Andrew smiled and it reached his green eyes.
"The usual collision with Meatball Head." Darien said, smiling. Andrew laughed, shook his head and went to get Darien's coffee. While Darien waited, he felt a little light-headed. He shook it of. It was probably Serena knocking a little wind out of him.
Andrew came back with a mug full of coffee. He gave it to Darien. Suddenly he noticed Darien didn't look too well. "Darien? Are you okay? You look pale." He saw Darien give him a look.
"Yeah I'm fine." he muttered.
:::::::[After school]:::::::
Serena sighed. Another BORING day at school. Another stupid test that she failed. Mrs. Haruna screaming at her. Melvin with the latest gossip. What else was new? Can school life be any more boring? Actually, it can. She sighed again as she continued at her to the arcade. At least she can see Andrew again.
The little bell rang as Serena walked in the arcade. Despite all her trouble at school, she felt happy as she saw Andrew cleaning the counters. Ah, Andrew. What a sweet handsome guy. So UNLIKE Darien. She admits he's cute and all, but he had a bad personality. Always teasing her about her grade. Always going on and on about her hair and clumsiness.
"Hey Andrew!" Serena chirped. Looking up, he smiled.
"Hey Serena. How was school?" he asked. He put away the rag he was using and gave Serena all this attention. Suddenly, the bell rang and an annoying voice said, "Must have been bad. Meatball Head probably failed another test." Without turning around, she could tell whose voice it was. The one and only, Darien. Anger and embarrassment bubbled inside her. Turning around she said, "Why don't you just leave me alone?" Which only made him laugh.
'Ooh, this guy is SO annoying.' she thought as she glared at him. Suddenly, she noticed that Darien looked a little pale. At the same time, he coughed few times.
"Darien, you O.K.?" Andrew asked when Darien stopped. Uncovering his mouth, Darien nodded.
"I'm gonna go and study. You know where I am if you need me." Saying that, Darien left. Both Serena and Andrew stared at Darien's retreating back. "Do you think he's okay?" he asked, concerned. After pausing a second Serena smiled.
"Oh course he's okay. He called me Meatball Head didn't he? The day you know he's not feeling right is the day he calls me Serena."
:::::::[Darien]:::::::
Darien stared at his book unfocused. He felt a little weird. Ever since he left work he felt odd. He's been in the arcade for at least an hour now. 'Maybe it's because I'm studying too hard..' He thought. Then he decided to gather his things and go home.
Having what he needed with him, he walked toward the exit. "See ya later Andrew! I'm going home!" he called out to Andrew who was in the room with a paper posted on the door that said "Employees Only."
As he headed out, he heard Andrew saying bye. Shifting his books in a more comfortable way, he started walking toward home. While he walked, he thought again about the weird thing that had been happening to him.
The little bell of the elevator ringing brought Darien back to reality. He hadn't noticed that he was standing in front of the elevator because of his intense thinking. Shaking his head slightly, he got on and pressed the button for his floor. When the door closed after he got on, Darien looked at the distorted image he saw at the slivery doors. The figure that was staring back at him looked pale and sick.
'Maybe I'm coming down with something..' he thought to himself. After a few more seconds' wait, the sliver colored elevator doors opened and the bells rang again. He walked out and went to his apartment hoping to feel better soon. Or else he'd have to miss his test.
:::::::[Serena]:::::::
Serena had finished her dinner and washing dishes, so now she had an hour and a half to do whatever she wished to do. She decided to call Molly, since she had to hang up on her yester-night. She went up the stairs and entered her room. Sitting on her bed, she picked up her phone and dialed Molly's number. After the phone rang a couple of times, Molly's mom picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hi Mrs. Urmi.* Is Molly there?"
"Hello Serena dear. Molly's asleep. She has a little hard time baby-sitting her two cousins."
"Oh... Well, could please tell her I called if she wakes up?"
"Sure honey."
"Okay thanks. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Serena sighed. She had nothing to do and her best friend is asleep from taking care of her two monster cousins.
'Well, I do have my homework...' she thought. As much as she hated that thought, she had to agree with herself. If she went downstairs, two possible things would happen. 1- She and Sammy would have a fight over the remote, then her parents will come in and ask if she did her homework. If she lied and said yes, her mom would ask to see it and then she would get in trouble. And to kill 2 birds with one stone, Sammy would torment her for as long as she was grounded for. Either that or if she said no, she'd get a big lecture and told to go and do her work. Or 2- her father would be watching CNN Headline News (the 'Get to the point news') and if she wanted to watch anything, the thing about her doing her homework would repeat itself. Sighing, she got up and walked to her desk. From her bag, she took a mechanical pencil with picture of cute bunnies all over it.
"Okay.. Let's see. English. 'Write an essay on why freedom is important and how you are grateful of it.' How INTERESTING."
:::::::[20 minutes later]:::::::
"Gaaaaahhh!! I'm not writing anymore! This will have to do." Serena angrily shoved her paper in her English folder. After few minutes of fuming, she took out her Math book and turned to the page she supposed to do.
"Uh....." Sweat-drop. "Hehe.. I'll just leave this alone." From behind her, she heard noises from where her window was. Without turning around, she knew who it was. 'Great, isn't it the forever lecturing cat Luna.'
"Well, well. Can it be that you're actually doing your homework Serena?" asked Luna, half amused and half curious. Just as Serena was about to answer her smart-allelic cat, the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Serena."
"Molly? I thought you were asleep?"
"Yeah, I was. I woke up about 20 minutes because I felt hungry. Mom told me you called and I can talk on the phone for 10 minutes."
"Oh, cool. So you cousins really tired you out huh?"
"Yeah, those pest are really hyper. Oh hey, have you heard that we're gonna have a new student?"
"Yeah I have. What did Melvin say her name was?"
"I think it was Amy Anderson."
"Yeah her. I heard she's really smart and all. I wonder why she changed school?"
"Me too." All of a sudden, Molly told her to hold on. "Hey I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow okay?"
"Kay. Bye."
"Bye." CLICK. Serena looked at the clock. She still had 40 minutes. What to do. 'I might as well go to sleep.' she thought, getting up. Just as she came out going though her night routine, she heard a scream coming from outside. Both Luna and Serena rushed to their window. Far off some where, they saw a weird shadow holding another shadow by the throat.
'Oh no. Not AGAIN." Serena thought in dismay. Just as Luna was about to say, 'Serena transform.' Serena interrupted her. "Yeah, yeah. I know. Transform. Right." Taking out brooch, she whispered out the magic word. In a flash of pink and ribbons, there stood the almighty legendary SailorMoon. At the same time as she and Luna was about to jump off the window, Serena thought of something. She turned around and headed for her radio.
"Serena, WHAT are you doing?!" Luna screeched. "There's a nega-monster outside! There's no time for this!" Serena paid no attention and turned the radio on to her favorite station. She turned the volume on up to point where it loud enough so if someone knocked on her door, it'll seem like she couldn't hear them. But it wasn't that loud either, that her parents will get mad. With that done, she -along with Luna- jump out of her window. As they ran toward where they heard scream from, Luna realized what Serena was doing. 'Well, looks like she does have a brain in her head.' Luna thought.
As they stopped to consider which direction to do to, they heard another scream. This time it was a girl. "It came from 124th Avenue. Lets go!" Again, they both ran, full speed. When they arrived at the place where humans were attacked, Serena gasped at whom the nega-monster was holding.

"Hey Serena. How was school?" he asked. He put away the rag he was using and gave Serena all this attention. Suddenly, the bell rang and an annoying voice said, "Must have been bad. Meatball Head probably failed another test." Without turning around, she could tell whose voice it was. The one and only, Darien. Anger and embarrassment bubbled inside her. Turning around she said, "Why don't you just leave me alone?" Which only made him laugh.
'Ooh, this guy is SO annoying.' she thought as she glared at him. Suddenly, she noticed that Darien looked a little pale. At the same time, he coughed few times.
"Darien, you O.K.?" Andrew asked when Darien stopped. Uncovering his mouth, Darien nodded.
"I'm gonna go and study. You know where I am if you need me." Saying that, Darien left. Both Serena and Andrew stared at Darien's retreating back. "Do you think he's okay?" he asked, concerned. After pausing a second Serena smiled.
"Oh course he's okay. He called me Meatball Head didn't he? The day you know he's not feeling right is the day he calls me Serena."
:::::::[Darien]:::::::
Darien stared at his book unfocused. He felt a little weird. Ever since he left work he felt odd. He's been in the arcade for at least an hour now. 'Maybe it's because I'm studying too hard..' He thought. Then he decided to gather his things and go home.
Having what he needed with him, he walked toward the exit. "See ya later Andrew! I'm going home!" he called out to Andrew who was in the room with a paper posted on the door that said "Employees Only."
As he headed out, he heard Andrew saying bye. Shifting his books in a more comfortable way, he started walking toward home. While he walked, he thought again about the weird thing that had been happening to him.
The little bell of the elevator ringing brought Darien back to reality. He hadn't noticed that he was standing in front of the elevator because of his intense thinking. Shaking his head slightly, he got on and pressed the button for his floor. When the door closed after he got on, Darien looked at the distorted image he saw at the slivery doors. The figure that was staring back at him looked pale and sick.
'Maybe I'm coming down with something..' he thought to himself. After a few more seconds' wait, the sliver colored elevator doors opened and the bells rang again. He walked out and went to his apartment hoping to feel better soon. Or else he'd have to miss his test.
:::::::[Serena]:::::::
Serena had finished her dinner and washing dishes, so now she had an hour and a half to do whatever she wished to do. She decided to call Molly, since she had to hang up on her yester-night. She went up the stairs and entered her room. Sitting on her bed, she picked up her phone and dialed Molly's number. After the phone rang a couple of times, Molly's mom picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hi Mrs. Urmi.* Is Molly there?"
"Hello Serena dear. Molly's asleep. She has a little hard time baby-sitting her two cousins."
"Oh... Well, could please tell her I called if she wakes up?"
"Sure honey."
"Okay thanks. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Serena sighed. She had nothing to do and her best friend is asleep from taking care of her two monster cousins.
'Well, I do have my homework...' she thought. As much as she hated that thought, she had to agree with herself. If she went downstairs, two possible things would happen. 1- She and Sammy would have a fight over the remote, then her parents will come in and ask if she did her homework. If she lied and said yes, her mom would ask to see it and then she would get in trouble. And to kill 2 birds with one stone, Sammy would torment her for as long as she was grounded for. Either that or if she said no, she'd get a big lecture and told to go and do her work. Or 2- her father would be watching CNN Headline News (the 'Get to the point news') and if she wanted to watch anything, the thing about her doing her homework would repeat itself. Sighing, she got up and walked to her desk. From her bag, she took a mechanical pencil with picture of cute bunnies all over it.
"Okay.. Let's see. English. 'Write an essay on why freedom is important and how you are grateful of it.' How INTERESTING."
:::::::[20 minutes later]:::::::
"Gaaaaahhh!! I'm not writing anymore! This will have to do." Serena angrily shoved her paper in her English folder. After few minutes of fuming, she took out her Math book and turned to the page she supposed to do.
"Uh....." Sweat-drop. "Hehe.. I'll just leave this alone." From behind her, she heard noises from where her window was. Without turning around, she knew who it was. 'Great, isn't it the forever lecturing cat Luna.'
"Well, well. Can it be that you're actually doing your homework Serena?" asked Luna, half amused and half curious. Just as Serena was about to answer her smart-allelic cat, the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Serena."
"Molly? I thought you were asleep?"
"Yeah, I was. I woke up about 20 minutes because I felt hungry. Mom told me you called and I can talk on the phone for 10 minutes."
"Oh, cool. So you cousins really tired you out huh?"
"Yeah, those pest are really hyper. Oh hey, have you heard that we're gonna have a new student?"
"Yeah I have. What did Melvin say her name was?"
"I think it was Amy Anderson."
"Yeah her. I heard she's really smart and all. I wonder why she changed school?"
"Me too." All of a sudden, Molly told her to hold on. "Hey I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow okay?"
"Kay. Bye."
"Bye." CLICK. Serena looked at the clock. She still had 40 minutes. What to do. 'I might as well go to sleep.' she thought, getting up. Just as she came out going though her night routine, she heard a scream coming from outside. Both Luna and Serena rushed to their window. Far off some where, they saw a weird shadow holding another shadow by the throat.
'Oh no. Not AGAIN." Serena thought in dismay. Just as Luna was about to say, 'Serena transform.' Serena interrupted her. "Yeah, yeah. I know. Transform. Right." Taking out brooch, she whispered out the magic word. In a flash of pink and ribbons, there stood the almighty legendary SailorMoon. At the same time as she and Luna was about to jump off the window, Serena thought of something. She turned around and headed for her radio.
"Serena, WHAT are you doing?!" Luna screeched. "There's a nega-monster outside! There's no time for this!" Serena paid no attention and turned the radio on to her favorite station. She turned the volume on up to point where it loud enough so if someone knocked on her door, it'll seem like she couldn't hear them. But it wasn't that loud either, that her parents will get mad. With that done, she -along with Luna- jump out of her window. As they ran toward where they heard scream from, Luna realized what Serena was doing. 'Well, looks like she does have a brain in her head.' Luna thought.
As they stopped to consider which direction to do to, they heard another scream. This time it was a girl. "It came from 124th Avenue. Lets go!" Again, they both ran, full speed. When they arrived at the place where humans were attacked, Serena gasped at whom the nega-monster was holding.
