They stood at the beach, surrounded by nothing but their thoughts, watching the wave's crash against the shore. A shiver was sent up Neptune's spine.
"The water is changing." She said to her cousin Uranus. "Something big is coming"

"A dance wow what a treat!" squealed Mina. "Andrew is going to be so excited when I tell him"
"Oh yeah, he'll be as excited as Chad is about doing chores" Raye said sarcastically.
The girls had yet again gathered at the Cherry Hill temple, after Serena had used the scout communicator (which was meant to be used for emergencies only!) to call them all there. Technically she had said it was an 'emergency' but not the one that they usually referred to.
"I guess this will give us an excuse to go shopping" Lita said rather fond of the idea.
Amy shook her head. "I don't think I can go you guys. I have so much study; I don't think I can leave it for minute. I'm already so far behind. I'm usually ten chapters ahead but I'm only eight at the moment!"
"Only ten chapters!" Serena whined. "Oh Amy why can't I have some of your brains"
The girls all laughed at the idea, neither one aware of the threat that was beginning to surround them.

"Hi Andrew!" Mina squealed as she ran into the arcade, looking around rapidly for her beloved boyfriend.
"Over here Mina" he said waving her down. He was taking off his apron when she 'attacked' him. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his wildly.
"You'll never guess what happened" she said with an evil gleam in her eye.
Darien approached them, looking disgusted. "Get a room you two" he said.
Mina gave him the evil eye before continuing telling Andrew the good news. "There's a formal dance tomorrow night, and we're going" she said bouncing up and down from all the excitement.
Andrew sighed. There was no way he could argue with that. He knew how sad she would be if he told her that he didn't want to go and if he did that then she'd also give him the cold shoulder for who knows how long. "You should go too Darien. It would be a good chance for you and Serena to have a civilized talk, and if that doesn't work out…well at least you will have attracted lots of female attention from all of Serena's yelling and crying" he said laughing.
"Aww, that was mean Andrew" Mina said to him feeling sorry for her good friend Serena and Darien.
"No good scum bag" she thought. "Poor Serena, if Andrew ever stopped loving me I'd give him a good talking to and a piece of my mind at the same time. I'd drag him back down to earth and make him see that I'm the only one for him"
"Mina are you okay?" Darien asked, looking concerned. Mina had an evil gleam in her eyes.
"Girls" Andrew said and burst into laughter.

"Amara, do you think everything will turn out alright" Michelle said to her cousin as they raced through the streets of Tokyo in Amara's red car.
Her cousin just sat there, her hands placed on the steering wheel, her left foot on the accelerator. The wind was pushing her short boy-like hair back, leaving it to flow and flutter in the wind that was passing them. For a woman whose appearance was mistaken as a man's, she was quite attractive.
Amara continued to drive in silence.

After an exhausting day of shopping Serena finally flopped down on her bed, pleased with what she had brought but also tired from all the running around her and the girls had done. Mina had left earlier, deciding to go shopping with Andrew instead so they could get outfits in the same colour or brand. Serena thought this was a little immature but understood it all the same.
She had purchased a white halter neck dress, which clutched to her body. On the right side there was an opening that went most of the way up her leg, stopping before revealing more than she would have wanted. The girls had talked her into moon pendant, while Raye had lent her, her silver strap high heels. All together the outfit was stunning. Serena couldn't wait for tomorrow night.
"I wonder if I'll meet my new true love tomorrow night at the dance" she pondered. "Tall, dark and handsome. That's the way he'll have to be" Almost instantly she realized this was an accurate description of Darien. She closed her eyes and tried to forget about him.

"Your highness, I have news of the past" said Pluto as she bowed down to the future queen and king of Crystal Tokyo.
"Rise Sailor Pluto" Neo Queen Serenity spoke. "You have come without request. What news do you bare?"
Pluto shook her head. "Many item of discussion have arisen but none as important as this. Your past selves are creating a new path that could leave the future in jeopardy. You refuse to be together, and nothing can be done to change ones mind. I am greatly concerned about our future"
"Go home now Sailor Pluto and let life's mysteries unravel themselves in front of you." King Endymoin spoke in a demanding tone.
Sailor Pluto bowed. "As you wish your highness"
NOTE: Hi everyone just a quick note to say that I've got my ideas for the rest of the story all written down. Once I'm finished let me know if it's worth continuing. Please review, I'm getting very excited about this.
