A.N: hi guys. Okay. The next two or three chapters will be funny. After that though. We're going into the preparation for the final battle. Okay? Remember. This story will be a series. I want to thank all of my reviewers! You guys have been wonderful and I hope to see you in the sequal. I'm writing it with Meggie. Then, there is a third story, when Kasadi becomes a scout and then I promised a reviewer Mew Universe that I'd write a story with her in it, and then a story where everyone is in college, then everyone all grown up with kids. I think there will be more, I just haven't thought up anything yet. I hope you enjoyed reading this story as much as I loved writing it!
Oh yeah. My Inuyasha story You promised will feature the characters from the Senshi story. I've decided the the Missing Sailor Series, Senshi in the Sengoku Jidai and You Promised will all be linked to one another. So take a look.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or any of the songs featured in this chapter.

The Missing Sailor
Chapter 34
" Okay girls. Time to say good bye." Beth came over to the three girls.
" NO MOM!" Emma cried. " There's been an accident, we walked into a radioactive pole and are attached at the hips!" Meggie and Kasadi stuck the hips at each side of Emma's.
" Em. It didn't work when you were nine, it doesn't work now." Beth laughed. It had been one week since Emma came home from the hospital. Now it was time for Meggie and Kasadi to go home for New Years. And Emma wasn't happy about it. The hit on the head in the park also made her a little more emotional while she's on the medication to help her heal.
" But...I don't want them to go!" Emma said tears running down her cheek.
" Oh no! Here she goes again! Hotaka get the tissues!" Beth yelled running to her husband, who was talking to a flight attendant.
" You are getting too good at that." Meggie laughed. Emma smiled.
" I'll need it when I tell my dad that I'm not playing basketball anymore." Emma said.
" THANK YOU!" Kasadi and Meggie yelled hugging her.
" I thought you had gone insane when you said you joined the team." Kasadi said.
" At least the mauling in the park put some sense into you!" Meggie said. Emma smacked her. " Sorry sorry! But I do admit. You scared the bejeezes outta me when they said you were in a coma!"
" Gotta keep you all on your toes!" Emma joked.
" Here sweety. Mommy got you tissues and some Raspberry ice tea with lemon. Just how you like it!" Beth came running. Emma took the objects. She wiped her eyes and took a sip of the ice tea. Emma gave them back and looked at her friends.
" All passengers on flight 337D please come to get 3F with your passports and boarding passes."
" no." Emma whispered. And then Emma's emotions completely took over. She burst into tears and threw her arms around them. " No...nononononononono." Then Kasadi started to cry.
" I'll miss you!" Meggie said.
" Be careful." Kasadi smiled. Emma cried as her two best friends walked to the gate with their bags. Meggie let Kasadi go through first. Just before she went through, Meggie turned to Emma again. Meggie waved. Emma waved back and gasped when she saw a tear fall from Meggie's eyes.
' my sister.' Meggie mouthed.
' my sister' Emma mouthed back. Meggie nodded and handed her boarding pass to the attendant. Then Meggie was gone. She was now boarding the plane to go back to the States. Back to Little Montrose Pennsylvania where they had grown up together. Vowing to never let anything break them apart. But they live half a world away from each other.
" Are you okay?" Emma turned around to see Darien.
" Oh my god! Where did you come from?" Emma asked.
" I work at the Airport Food court." he said.
" Oh." Emma said looking down.
" I heard that Meggie and Kasadi went home today. You're parents said I should come talk to you."
" Oh really." Emma said.
" Hey, I'm off duty. You wanna come eat something. I hear there is a discount on the Sesame chicken."
" Where are my parents?"
" Um..well. Your Dad had an emergency at the lab and your mom got a call from her boss. So I said I'd take you somewhere."
" Sure why not." Emma shrugged. " It's not like I've got my friends to hang out with from film club. Or Kyle to tickle my armpits and make me squeal to the ground."
" What?"
" I'll tell you about him later."
" Okay." Darien said shaking his head. Darien had Emma follow him to the food court. " One Sesame chicken and one Mushu pork with a side of fried doughnuts and pork fried rice."
Emma took her lunch and followed Darien to a table.
" You didn't have to do this." Emma said.
" No. But I wanted to. Everyone has kinda adopted you as a little sister. Rini is the niece cause she's Serena's and my future daughter, You are everyone's little sister."
" Oh."
" But I'd have to admit that if anything happened to your parents Amara would demand custody."
" I figured that out when she bought me a helmet for her motorcycle." Emma smiled.
" Yeah. Amara is very protective of you. Amara grew up with people hating her for being a lesbian. Until Michelle came along. And no one would have guess Michelle was a lesbian. She seemed too, boy crazy."
" Don't judge a book by their cover." Emma smiled. Then she took a bite of her chicken.
" I didn't have anyone before I met Serena. Fiore was my first friend, but he kinda..."
" Turned on you?" Emma asked.
" No. He was an alien that let his soul get taken over by an evil flower and wanted a relationship I couldn't give him."
" Oh." Emma gaped. She didn't know that story.
" I met Serena the day Sam was born. She was four, I was six. I met her again when she was in junior high. And we hated each other. And then, we fell in love. Easy as that."
" oh."
" I know it's hard to see your friends leave, but you have been surrounded by friends all your life. Whether they live down the road from you, or on the other side of the globe." Darien said. " Rini is your friend. She's been sitting back while you were with Sam, or with Meggie and Kasadi. She found a boyfriend in the mean time, but she misses you."
" Ohhhh. Man. I've been totally ignoring her..." Emma said.
" I don't think she's minding all that much. She spends a lot of time with Katsuro." Darien laughed. " I just think she needs a tiny bit of attention for a while."
" Yeah." Emma agreed.
" How bout we finish lunch and go home. Tomorrow's New Year's Eve and your school is having an all night party."
" GAHHH! PARTY TOMORROW? I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR! I've got to do my hair, and nails, what shoes will I wear? I need to get a dress."
" It's casual."
" I have to find a skirt, or some nice jeans. And a top!"
" Want to go through a closet? We have ten sailor scouts who will be happy to lend you clothes."
" Okay. But, I don't want to wear any of Amara's clothes." Emma said.
" Fine picky. Nine scouts." Darien laughed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
" SHOPPING SPREE!" All the girls yelled. Serena, Ami, Mina, Rei, Lita, Michelle, Hotaru, Trista, Rini and Emma screamed. While all the guys were sitting back watching them. Only Serena, Ami, Mina, Rini and Emma, were going to the party, but all the girls like a good shopping trip. Except Amara. Everyone had their out fits except for Emma, so they were going to doll her up. Amara pulled Emma aside from the girls deciding what store to get her shirt.
" hey Emma."
" hey What."
" Tonight after you go shopping I want you, all to come to dinner with us. Bring dates. Where your yellow dress from the fall formal."
" O-okay." Emma asked.
" And bring the tickets and the ring."
" oh...OH! You mean...tonight?"
" yeah. I would do it tomorrow for New years, but everyone else has plans. And Michelle has a recital. So this is the excuse for and early New Year's party. I want you guys to come with us. Me and the guys are making sure everything is in order. Were going to Dè Bella. Be there at seven. I talked to your mom about while you were with Darien."
" Okay." Emma was giddy with excitement. She actually started jumping up and down with out noticing.
" Emma. Calm down. You're the only one who knows!" Amara breathed. " stop jumping!" Emma regained her composure and hugged Amara.
" I'm so happy! You two will be great for each other." Emma said. Amara smiled and hugged the smaller girl.
" thanks." Amara said.
" EMMA! LET'S GO!" Mina came running. " We gatta make you beautiful for tomorrow and tonight!" Emma was being dragged by her arms.
" BYE GUYS!" Emma said.
" Bye." the guys returned.
" Mina! Let go I can walk!" Emma yelled. The blonde laughed and let go of Emma's arms.
" are you ready for shopping?" Serena asked.
" do you really need to ask?" Emma replied. All the girls smiled and started off to the bus stop.

three hours later
" Okay, curling iron." Lita commanded. They were all in Trista's house.
" curling iron" Rini handed it over. Lita worked with the hair in front of her.
" Hairspray."
" Hairspray."
" Bobby pins"
" Bobby pins."
" Okay. Now the star clips."
" Star clips."
" Girls. We have turned this beast into a beauty." Lita said proudly.
" I really hope your talking about my hair." Emma said.
" Yes." Lita smiled.
" Damn. Your good in the kitchen and in the hair salon!" Rei said.
" Eh. It's a hobby." Lita shrugged.
" Okay. Emma. I know Amara said to wear your yellow dress, but Trista went on a sewing frenzy and just happened to make a reeaaally pretty dress in your size." Rini said.
" Just happened to make a dress in my size?" Emma said.
" Okay okay. I felt bad that I made a dress for everyone else and not for you." Trista said. " I had fun okay."
" Oh..Trista!" Emma said. " You guys are too much."
" Emma we are going to ask you to close your eyes. We will get you in the dress and you can see it when we do the final touches."
" Okay..." Emma said. They were in her bed room, getting ready. Everyone was in long dresses that were of the colors of their senshi uniforms.They were almost identical except for their own personal touches. Serena and Rini actually let their hair down. Rini's came down to the small of her back and Serena's came to the back of her knees. The gowns were spaghetti straps that came with shawls. Each of the girls had their own little things. Like Serena and Rini wore crescent moon pendants. Ami had sparkling crystals, Lita had Jade ear rings and a teardrop necklace, Mina had a heart broach at her neckline, Hotaru had deep purple hair pieces in her bun, Trista had a diamond necklace laced around her neck, Michelle had a white carnation in her hair that had the edges dyed turquoise, Rei had crimped her hair and a red chopsticks sticking out of the bun at the top of her head. All of them had sparkling makeup that accented their finest features. They all looked beautiful.
Emma was made to have a blind fold on while the got her in her dress. She was in a slip so she wasn't in the nude. She felt the soft caressing of silk against her skin. She could already tell hers wasn't the same as everyone else's because the sleeves were pieces of fabric set off the shoulders. When she felt Michelle do the last button she knew she could open her eyes. She gasped when she saw the person in the mirror. She was wearing a long white dress with layers of yellow showing through the fabric. She had yellow spaghetti straps with a white shrug over it ( that was the fabric over her shoulders.). The bodice was shaped like a corset but it wasn't a corset, just tight silk around her waist. There was a string of pearls braided at the waist line and hanging like a rope. She had white strap on sandals with yellow roses in the center. Her hair war brought in a style like Trista normally had but with ringlets that hung on her shoulders.
" HEY! It actually looks like she has boobs!" Everyone turned to see Katsuro and Sam.
" WHY WERE YOU LOOKING?" Rini yelled.
" Well, I am a guy. And they were just sitting there! I can't just not look." Katsuro shrugged. Emma crossed her arms over her chest.
" Yes you can!" Sam yelled.
" I feel violated." Emma said. Then she got a brilliant idea. " hey Rini?"
" What?" Rini asked.
" Pass me the curling iron." Everyone saw the evil glint in her eyes. Katsuro gulped.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
" Emma, you did a very nice job on his hair" Rini said. Emma smiled at her creation. She had turned Katsuro's hair into a afro. Just imagine, Katsuro with a big black ball of fluff on his head with a green edge. ( To put it simpler. You know Jake Long, the American dragon? Imagine his hair in an afro.)
" my haaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiirrrrrr!" Katsuro cried.
" Quit whining you baby!" Emma smacked him. " This is what you get for looking places you shouldn't be looking. You'll be lucky I don't tell Sam, or my brother about this. Or my father!"
" I'm sorry..." Katsuro wept.
" Not sorry enough. The hair spray I used is called Hair cement. Your hair will be like this for hours. Maybe till morning." Emma said. ( A.N: There is a real hairspray called hair cement. I used it when I was a brides maid in my sister's wedding and it stuck. For a reeeeaaallly long time. And my younger sister has really straight hair and it can't hold a curl. We used hair cement and it stayed ten times as long as normal. And normal is about an hour for her. So yeah. It is good stuff)
" Hey guys. My car is all packed." Darien said. " AHHHHHH!" he saw Katsuro's hair. " what the &$! Happened to your hair?"
" He was being a pervert and I did what was right." Emma said crossing her arms.
" I'll get pictures." Darien smirked. " Okay...Emma, Sam, Rini, Katsuro and Serena are going in my car, Mina, Ami, Rei and your dates are going in Josh's car, Hotaru, Lita and your dates are going with Trista. And Michelle. You have a limo waiting."
" Really?" Michelle asked.
" Yeah. Amara went on a shopping spree herself tonight." Darien said. Michelle smiled and grabbed her purse to run down stairs. Emma was giddy about knowing what was going on here.
" Jeez. I wish my boyfriend was that romantic." Lita scowled.
" Who's your boyfriend?" Emma asked.
" Mataki Hattori. He's my sparring partner. And he goes to my school. I met him a few weeks ago and he asked me out." Lita said smiling. Emma's eyes widened.
" My boyfriend is from the Senwai School on front st." Rei said.
" Who's your boyfriend?"
" His name is Akitoki Hojo. He's a health nut and got rejected by his crush. He came by the shrine the other day and saw me feeding the crows. I like him." Rei said. Emma snickered. She knew this wasn't Kokoro so she wasn't going to get attached.
" Serena set me up on a blind date." Ami said quietly. " She says his name is Hideiki and she owed him a favor."
" Hideiki? Hideiki Matsui?" Katsuro asked.
" No dip shit. That's a baseball player and he's what. 30?" Emma smacked him.
" ewwwww." everyone moaned.
" You are a nasty child!" Serena said. Katsuro shrugged.
" Okay. All Ladies and perverted fro boys, down stairs." Darien smiled at Katsuro's reaction to ' perverted fro boys.' Everyone smiled ( 'cept Katsuro) and followed Darien downstairs. All the guys were waiting at the bottom, they were all in tuxedos. Mina came down first and took Josh's ready arm. Then Rei came down to Hojo's. Ami to Hideiki, Lita to Mataki's and Emma to Sam. Serena came down with Darien, Trista came to her date, whose name was Hukoto by the way, Hotaru had her date Sai ready. Then Katsuro came down with Rini. When everyone saw Katsuro's hair, they burst out laughing.
" what did you do?" Sam asked. Emma whispered something in his ear and scowled. " hmph. Serves you right."
" Tsukino! Control your woman. She's outta control!" Katsuro pleaded.
" Nope. I don't think I will." Sam said. Emma stuck her tongue out at Katsuro.
" Okay guys. Let's move out!" Josh said. Everyone nodded and walked out the door, going into their assigned cars.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
" Okay, Amara said to take a left at main street." Serena said.
" Okay. Darien take a right then." Emma said. Serena glared at her.
" Hardy har har. Funny." Serena said. " I have the directions written down thank you very much!"
" What ever." Emma said. Then she started to look through her purse. " GAAAAHHHH! I DON'T HAVE IT! I DON'T HAVE IT!"
" What's wrong?" Sam asked.
" Amara is going to kill me..." Emma said. She turned her purse upside down and started to pour everything out of it.
" God, how can women fit all that stuff into such a tiny purse?" Katsuro said looking at all the money, lip gloss, and jewelry. There was even a manga and two chapter books in there.
" Just call me Mary Poppins." Emma said in a grouchy tone. " She is going to serve my head on a silver platter!"
" Emma, what did you lose?" Rini asked. " whatever it is you can find it tomorrow."
" You have no idea!" Emma said. She looked out the window and saw a supermarket with those little toy machines outside. " DARIEN PULL OVER!" Darien jerked the steering wheel.
" Dammit Emma, don't do that!" Darien yelled.
" Sorry. Sam, gimme all your quarters!" Emma said.
" Why?"
" You love me right?"
" yess..."
" Then gimme the goddamn quarters."
" okay, here's about 5 dollars worth." ( A.N sorry. Don't know much about Japanese currency. So, until I do, it's in american money. Kay? Any info will be helpful)
" Gracias."
" Danata." Emma jumped out of the car and ran over to the little toy machine. She put a quarter in and twisted the little knob.
" gimme a diamond color. Diamond!" Emma prayed. There was a little clink and she took out the little plastic case. " GAH! It's blue!" Emma put in another quarter. " come on come on! RED! NO!"
" Emma, come on. We have to be there in five minutes!" Serena called out the window.
" hold on...GREEN!...PINK!...YELLOW!" Emma stood up and kicked the machine. Something fell out. " AH HAH! Diamond! Thank you god!" Emma gathered her skirt and dashed back to the car.
" What was that about?" Katsuro asked.
" This!" Emma said holding up the little plastic case. " This is what is going to keep Amara from kicking my ass!"
" Okay...not going to ask." Sam said.
" It would be best if you wouldn't" Emma replied. Darien started to drive to the restaurant.
"Emma!" Amara came over.
" Amara!" Emma said faking her enthusiasm.
" You got the ring?"
" Um...well, about that."
" You know. That has now become my least favorite sentence in the entire world."
" Here." Emma said reaching into her purse. She pulled out the case with the plastic ring. Amara took it.
" Emma." Amara said. Her face was unreadable. " Where is the ring?"
" Now Amara. Before you say anything. I will find it! I SWEAR."
" Emma, did you ever wonder what happened to my last motorcycle?"
" Uh.."
" I sold it to buy that ring. I got Black Dragon from Michelle for Christmas."
" oh god...I'm sorry. I'll go check the car again! Okay. Stay here." Emma took the plastic ring and ran to find Darien.
" DARIEN!" Emma yelled. Darien turned. " Gimme the keys to your car!"
" NO!"
" Then come with me!" Emma said dragging him. Darien followed. They walked outside and saw a car driving away.
" Hey..THAT'S MY CAR!" Darien yelled. " SOMEONE STOLE MY CAR! COOOMMEEE BACCCKKK!" Darien started running after the car. Then Emma looked and saw a sign that said 'valet parking'
" DARIEN YOU NIMROD!" Emma yelled as she started to run after him.
Ten minutes later.
" GRRRRRRRRR!" Emma yelled. " it's not here! Amara isn't going to trust me ever again!" Emma had given up. She lost the ring. Emma stepped up, but got a sharp pain in my foot. " Ouch."
" What is it?" Darien asked.
" Nothing, I've got something in my shoe. One second." Emma sat down in the car and pulled off her shoe and something fell out. Emma picked it up and gasped.
" What happened?" Darien asked.
" I found it! I put it in my shoe in case we came across a mugger or something for safe keeping.."
" You put what in your shoe?"
" But where's the box. It has no meaning without the box."
" What has no meaning?"
" Ah hah!" Emma took the plastic case from the vending machine, took out the fake ring and put in the real one. " I am good."
" Emma, please tell me what's going on!"
" It's a surprise!" Emma said. She closed the car door and ran back to the restaurant. She found Amara in the same place. And she looked pretty pissed. " Amara! Here!" Amara took the plastic casing.
" Whatever Emma. Thanks anyway." Amara said as she turned to leave.
" wait! Amara. It's the real ring!" Emma said. Amara looked carefully through the plastic.
" Oh my god it is!" She said. She took Emma in her arms and twirled her around. " Thank you thank you!"
" my lungs...my -gasp- lungs!" Emma gasped. Amara muttered a apology and set her down. Emma gripped her arm as she tried to catch her breath.
" Are you okay?"
" Yeah..just need to get the blood circulating again." Emma said standing up straight.
" First there will be dancing, and I'm going to pop the question at dinner." Amara said.
" gotcha." Emma smiled. Amara hugged her again and went to go find Michelle. " she is just full of hugs today." Emma said to herself. Then she felt arms come to a hug behind her. " Hello Mr. Tsukino."
" Ah. Ms. Hanzo. How did you know it was I?"
" Lucky guess." Emma smiled.
" Care for a dance?" Sam asked.
" Can you waltz?" Emma asked.
" Why but of course." Sam bowed. " Who doesn't know how to waltz?"
" Apparently that Hojo guy." Emma pointed over to Rei and her date trying to waltz and not getting very far.
" well I say he's a fruit cake." Sam said. " all he's been talking about is this girl he's had a crush on and she rejected him for a bad ass."
" heh heh. Well At least we know he isn't going to be around for long." Emma smirked.
" Yep." Sam said. " Come on. Let's show the fruitcake how it's done." Emma laughed and took Sam's hand out to the dance floor. Everyone was dancing. Emma looked over to Amara and Michelle who looked so happy together. " hey you. Eyes on me."
" Sorry." Emma said. Sam started dancing with her. The music was soft. A soft waltz.
" Just don't lead. Okay?"
" I'm no leader. I'm a follower." Emma smiled.
" Hey. Where did you get this dress?"
" A Trista origional."
" Did she go thread and needle happy again?" Sam asked.
" Apparently." Emma smiled. " She said she felt bad for making everyone else a dress and not me."
" She made those dresses long before you moved here." Sam said. " But Katsuro was right. It actually looks like you have boobs." Emma couldn't believe he just said that.
" Oh my god. Get me a fork so I can poke your eyes out!" Emma scowled.
" I'm kidding. I love what you did with his hair."
" It suits him, don't you think?" Emma laughed.
" yes. Very well."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
" Hey Michelle." Amara said when everyone else had sat down for dinner.
" Yes?" she asked taking a bite of a cherry tomato from her salad, squirting juice into Amara's face. " oo. I'm so sorry sweety!" Michelle laughed taking a napkin and wiping her face.
" Any way. I found this in a little toy machine and thought you might like it." Amara said taking out the little plastic bubble.
" Awww. That so sweet. Thank you." Michelle smiled. She took out the ring an slipped it on her ring finger. " Wow. It looks so real." Michelle took a close look at it and noticed a little engraving. Marry Me? Michelle gasped. She looked at the ring, to Amara and back to the ring again. " Yes."
" Yes?"
" YES!" Michelle screamed. She tackled Amara planting kisses on her. " yesyesyesyesyes!" Everyone jumped up and applauded.
" And, a round of applause for my partner in crime." Amara said pointing to Emma. Emma blushed. Michelle looked at Emma and hugged her.
" Thank you so much!" Michelle said.Emma hugged her back.
" All I had to do was make sure you didn't find the ring." Emma said.
" Where did you find the ring anyway, Emma?" Amara asked.
" My shoe. I kept it there for safe keeping." Emma smiled. Amara just shook her head.
" CONGRATULATIONS!" a crew of waiters came over with a huge cake.
" Amara?" Michelle asked.
" It wasn't me! Emma?"
" Yeah, where would I get the money for that!" Emma said.
" CONGRATULATIONS! IT'S A GIRL!"
" Michelle? Are you?" Amara asked.
" NO! Are you?" Michelle asked.
" NONONONONO!" Amara said.
" Um, dude. I think you've got the wrong party!" Josh said.
" But it said to the big party in the west wing." the head waiter said.
" IT'S A GIRL!" The waiters kept chanting.
" We're both girls!" Amara said. Silence filled the room.
" Oh..I'm sorry." The waiter buzzed away. " YOU FOOLS!" he yelled at the others.
" Well, that was interesting." Emma said.
" Very." Mina agreed.
" So this is what you were freaking out about in the car." Darien said.
" yes." Emma said.
" Nice save." amara winked.
" I thought so." Emma smiled.
" I think I should go home. My parents are going to wonder where we are." Josh said. " That means you too squirt." Emma frowned.
" We should all go." Trista said. " Hotaru, you're father will be furious if you miss curfew."
" Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're turning into the female version of my dad." Hotaru muttered.
" Hey, would you rather me be your dad?" Trista asked.
" I'm good thanks." Everyone gave their hugs. And Congratulations. And headed home, while Amara and Michelle danced the night away.

A.N: okay. That wiped me out. Schools almost over, but I might be a while before I can update again. Finals are coming up and I don't feel like repeating 8th grade. Cya!
