Who Is My True Love?

Chapter 4: The Run-in

Molly and Melvin were walking in the park. Melvin was as dorky as usual. He let out a breath. "Hey, Molly, can you wait for me? I'm going to get a drink."
He walked over to the water fountain. Molly continued to walk. She was too tired to wait for him this time. She just walked on without looking back. How could I ever have fallen in love with a guy like Melvin? He's just too interested into computers. He's such a nerd, she thought.
She was very far away from Melvin now. It would be useless to turn back and especially be reminded over and over again about how computers were so awesome.
She shut her eyes. Everything was so peaceful, so quiet, especially, if Melvin wasn't around. Just then, she bumped into somebody. She squeaked and almost lost her balance, but two strong hands grabbed her shoulders and helped her regain her footing.
"Are you okay, miss?" the voice asked.
That voice was familiar. She opened her eyes and looked up at the man. His brown, wavy shoulder-length hair was familiar. His dark blue eyes were familiar. His face was familiar.
Molly gave a faint whisper. "N-Nephlite?"
She couldn't believe her eyes! She had to be dreaming. She just had to.
Nephlite shook her hand. "Please, call me Maxfield."
Molly's eyes widened. "Nephlite it is you!"
She immediately hugged him, tears filling her eyes. "I've missed you so much, Nephlite."
"I've missed you, too, Molly." he replied, stroking her hair.
Molly was so overwhelmed with joy. Oh, but, wait, she forgot about Melvin.. He was her boyfriend. What was she going to do now? This was Nephlite, a.k.a., Maxfield Stanton, the guy she fell in love with, and she couldn't just tell him "Sorry, I already have a boyfriend." But the only thing she could say was, "I thought you were dead?"
Nephlite let go of her. "This is a difficult question.."
Molly took his hands in hers. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"No, I want to tell you, but I don't know how to explain it.and I don't really want to say it out loud in the open. Maybe I should tell you later?"
"That's okay with me, Nephlite, as long as you're here with me I don't mind."

Melvin looked up from the fountain. "Molly? Molly, where are you?"
No one answered.
"Oh, no, she might be hurt. That's it, Molly, here I come!" Melvin shouted.
He began to run in the same exact direction Molly had went. He saw a pair of dots up ahead. He made his direction toward them.
Molly turned around and saw Melvin running her way. She jumped slightly. "Oh, no, it's Melvin, hide me!"
She got behind Nephlite.
Nephlite raised an eyebrow. "Molly, why are you-"
He was interrupted when Melvin walked up to him. "Excuse me, sir, did you see a girl with red hair pass by?"
"Uh, yeah, she just left." Nephlite lied.
"Thanks, sir, oh, I hope Molly's alright."
Nephlite watched as Melvin ran off.
Molly got out from behind him and sighed. "That was a close one."
"Who was that guy, Molly?" Nephlite asked.
"Oh him? He was, um, a guy I know from school who has a major crush on me."
"Really? Now, I'll be having some big competition over you." Nephlite chuckled.
Molly laughed weakly. "Yeah.better watch out for Melvin."
Nephlite touched the back of his hair. "I was wondering, Molly, if we could get a chocolate parfait together sometime? I never really had a chance to get one with you yet. Maybe we could get together on Sunday?"
Molly blushed. "I was wondering when you'd ask me that."
"So, is that a 'yes' or a 'no'?"
Molly giggled. "It's a 'yes'."
Nephlite chuckled. "Okay, I'll be sure to take you Sunday."
They walked to a bench and sat down. To think Molly was stuck with a nerd like Melvin. She'd rather go with Nephlite than him. Molly smiled slightly.
Nephlite shut his eyes. "It's so peaceful here...."
Molly looked up into his face. "Nephlite, can I ask you a question?"
Nephlite opened his eyes. "Yes, what is it?"
She paused a moment. "Well, how did you find me?"
Nephlite sighed. "I don't really know. I had some kind of strong feeling that I would find you here, like my heart led me to you. We've been here together several times, but most of them, but most of them...." his voice drained out.
"Were times when you were using me." Molly finished.
Nephlite's face was grim. "I'm sorry that I ever used you, Molly. I never really knew how I felt about you at first. Maybe I was afraid to admit that I loved you....I'm so sorry, Molly, will you ever forgive me?"
"Don't you remember? I already forgiven you." Molly replied.
For a moment, a memory lingered in her mind. She knew all of the things that were about to happen by heart....Nephlite had just barely dodged Sailor Mars's fire, and the sudden movement threw him off balance, making him fall to the ground cursing.
"Curse you, Sailor brats. " he muttered as he began to get to his feet. "I won't be defeated so easi-"
"MOON TIARA MAGIC!"
Sailor Moon's tiara shot straight toward him. Nephlite was frozen to the ground. His feet wouldn't let him budge. He stumbled back.
Molly ran in front of him, holding her arms out. "Don't hurt him!"
"Molly, what are you doing?" Nephlite asked in shock.
Sailor Moon gasped. Her tiara was heading straight for Molly. "Tiara, stop! STOP!"
The tiara didn't even slow down. Molly braced herself. She wasn't going to move.
Sailor Moon reached out desperately. "STOP!"
The tiara froze and clattered to the ground just before touching Molly's heart. It's golden glow faded away. Despite what could have happened to her, Molly still didn't move an inch.
"Molly, get away from him!" Sailor Moon cried. "He's dangerous!"
Molly shook her head. "I won't move." Tears broke from her eyes. "I won't let you hurt him. If you want to get to him, you'll have to destroy me first!" Her tears fell to the ground. "I don't care what happens to me as long as he survives."
"Molly." Sailor Moon whispered.
More glittering tears ran down her face. "I love this man with all my heart."
Nephlite's black crystal started to light up. He examined it curiously. "Why isn't it reacting to any other forces? Could it be...reacting to Molly's love?"
Suddenly, a hunched woman stepped out from a bush. She wore a porcelain mask and had long black hair. Nephlite had a feeling it was one of Zoycite's servants.
"Is that the Silver Crystal, Nephlite? Give it to Yasha." the woman said.
"It's not the Silver Crystal!" Nephlite snarled.
Yasha wasn't listening. She shot toward him, trying to grab the black crystal from him. Nephlite dropped it on the pavement while trying to fight Yasha back.
Molly bent down and picked it up. "What is this?"
Yasha turned and flew toward Molly, her sharp claws barred. "Give it to me!"
Nephlite raised a palm and blasted Yasha. Yasha's porcelain mask broke into two halves and fell to the ground.
Molly felt weak. "Maxfield, you saved my life." she whispered before she fell to the ground and fainted.
Yasha's silky black hair had become white and rigid. She had long horns coming from her head and black and orange eyes.
She growled. "You'll pay for this, traitor!" She flew right at him, her sharp claws outstretched.
"MOON TIARA MAGIC!"
Sailor Moon's discus hit her from behind and she burst to dust before even touching Nephlite.
Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury were kneeling next to the unconcious Molly.
Sailor Moon looked up at Nephlite. "You saved Molly's life...."
Nephlite gazed down at her. "So what if I did? I'm only interested in finding the Silver Crystal. And once I do, the Negaverse will be unstoppable."
"What is the Silver Crystal?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out." He turned away. "I'll be back." and he disappeared.
"Molly?"
Molly's thoughts were cut off as she looked into Nephlite's concerned eyes.
"Yes?"
"You've been really quiet the last few minutes. Is something wrong?"
"No, nothing's wrong."
Nephlite stood up. "Well, I'll see you Sunday, Molly."
"Does it have to be that long?"
Nephlite laughed. "Today's Friday, Molly, you just gotta wait for Saturday to come, and then, Sunday. Just two days, Molly, do you think you can last that long?"
"Yes, I guess so." she giggled.
