Hey guys, well I'm sorry this took so long but I made the rookie mistake of not saving it after I made my changes.
If you don't know I don't own sailor moon by now you clearly aren't reading these. Shame on you they're in every chapter.

Alan sat playing his flute as Anne floated, suspended in the light of the giant tree the two aliens called home. His tune changed slightly causing both the tree and Anne to glow brightly. He smiled as he played and Anne woke jumping next to him happily.
"I feel great," she enthused leaning into him.
The tree turned cold and they were both shocked to see it wither.
"Alan, what's wrong, the trees dying?" Anne said worriedly.
"Don't worry Anne the tree needs life energy and this planet if full of it. Plant life animal life marine life and," as Alan spoke images appeared around them of all the life on earth.
"Human's they waste such time on romance and dancing ha," Anne laughed as the image of a couple came up.
"We'll find the right energy to keep the tree alive on this vast planet. We'll find it. Now the tree needs energy so pick a cardian Anne," Alan said holding a fan of cards towards his pink haired counterpart.
Anne giggled as she chose one of the cards from Alan's hand. They both watched as the chosen card floated in front of them.
"A flower, beautiful but can be deadly and poisonous. Good choice," Alan said.
"What the doom tree needs is the life energy of humans. They have the strongest energy on the planet, especially the young girls," Anne mused.
"Girls, why not the boys?" Alan asked looking at her out of the corner of his eye.
"Alan," Anne said pouting.
"Calm down Anne you'll get your way as usual.
"Oh Alan you spoil me," she giggled as Alan floated up towards the card.
"Cardian I command you send forth the guardian Vampee," Alan shouted playing a new tune on his flute.
The card grew till it became an ugly woman shaped creature. Knowing its masters orders the creature ran off into the night searching for humans to gather energy from.
Luna and Artimis were out for a stroll, spending some time together when they heard a terrifying scream. They ran to the scene to find a young girl drained of energy.
"Oh no, she's been drained. I hate to say it Luna but it looks like the sailor scouts are needed," Artimis said sadly.
"Oh do we have to? They were enjoying their normal lives," Luna moaned.
Artimis just looked at her and she sighed.
"Serena is closer, let's go," the black cat said.
They were suddenly halted by another scream. Finally seeing the monster they were up against the two cats froze in fear, not noticing a window open or just who looked out to see the chaos.
Serena sighed as she got into her room. She had wanted to spend the night with Darien but she couldn't get hold of any of the girls to cover for her so she had been dropped home by curfew. Noticing Luna was nowhere to be seen she was just getting ready for bed when her phone rang.
"Hi, molly?" she said checking the caller I.d.
"Serena, I'm glad your home, I didn't realise you were with Darien earlier I hope I didn't stick my foot in my mouth when I said about the new guy being gone on ya?" molly asked worriedly.
"Don't worry molls I explained everything and Darien was fine, a bit jealous at first but ok otherwise," she giggled.
"Ok, thanks Serena, hold on, something going on outside," molly answered going towards her bedroom window.
Serena heard the scream, the terror of whatever victim had the misfortune of getting in a monsters way.
"Molly what's going on?" she asked worriedly before the phone was dropped.
Serena didn't take time to think, knowing the monster now had molly. She jumped out of her window racing towards molly's house.
The two cats were shocked out of there stupor seeing Molly attacked they jumped into her room and tried to attack the creature themselves.
"Molly," Serena shouted as she raced into molly's apartment.
"What's wrong?" molly's mother asked as she followed Serena to her daughter's room.
"We were yakking and suddenly she, ahh a monster," Serena said as molly's mother fainted.
The creature looked like a thistle that had grown a body. Thick vines shot out of an overgrown red flower in its hands.
"Serena hurry and transform, "Luna screamed from her spot in the corner.
"Right Moon prisim power," Serena shouted letting her transformation take over her.
"Stop right there you overgrown house plant, who do you think you are attacking my friends, you had better stop or in the name of the moon I'll punish you," she shouted towards the creature who just laughed and shot her energy draining vines towards Sailor moon with an evil cackle.
"Nooooo!" Artimis jumped towards the monster scratching its face before the vines could reach Sailor Moon.
The creature threw Artimis off before turning towards Artimis who jumped out of the window. The creature chased after him enraged.
"Oh Artimis," Luna sighed as Sailor Moon threw her communicator at her.
"Call the others," she shouted before giving chase.
Sailor moon watched as the creature finally caught up with Artimis and forgoing her usual speech jumped in between the cat and creature.
"Vammpea!" the monster said snarling at Sailor moon.
Once again it shot vines out of its hands towards the heroine. Sailor Moon managed to dodge them but the vines acted like heat seeking missiles and followed until the finally caught her leg.
"Feeling weak," Sailor moon moaned as she was slowly drained.
She groaned as she weakly tried to reach her tiara. Just as she was about to touch the jewel she almost fell then suddenly the vines were cut from her giving her strength.
"A flower is meant to be admired for its beauty not tainted with darkness," a smooth voice said.
The monster looked around confused giving Sailor moon enough time to use her tiara turning the weed back into a card.
"Artimis are you ok?" Luna asked appearing out of nowhere.
The white cat moaned but smiled.
"Awe poor kitty," Sailor moon started.
"Hey you, Sailor Moon, I never imagined there would be someone like you on our planet," a holographic image of two blue and pink haired aliens spoke.
"Your planet? Wait a second," Sailor moon shouted at the hologram.
"You heard me it's our planet now," the blue haired male hologram smirked.
"Get used to it brat," the pink haired hologram added.
"You're the ones that sent that yucky poison ivy aren't you?" Moon asked angrily.
"Just our way of getting acquainted, see you again Sailor moon," the two aliens said mockingly as the hologram image disappeared.
"Are you ok?" Tuxedo Mask asked stepping out to hold her.
"Yes, my energy returned as soon as the monster was dusted. No more normal life hey Luna," she smiled at her friend who was tending to Artimis.
"It never stopped you before," Luna mumbled causing Artimis to chuckle.
"Hey where are the others?" Moon asked suddenly wondering why they hadn't come.
"Oh, I, um, well you see, I, may have forgotten to call them and chased after you instead," Luna said blushing.
"It's ok Luna, you were worried I understand. We will have to have a meeting after school tomorrow discuss this new threat," Moon smiled as she powered down.
Luna nodded a more sombre look taking over her features.
"Come on love let's get you home," Darien said powering down himself.
Serena hummed tiredly as she leaned into his strong form, allowing him to guide her home.

The next morning Serena was up with her alarm, yawning tiredly as she got ready for school. Luna blinked at her tiredly before curling back up in the warm spot Serena had vacated.
"Nice for some," Serena grumbled watching as Luna yawned.
"The girls and I are meeting the boys at the arcade after school," she told Luna who hummed in agreement.
Serena shook her head allowing a soft smile to fall onto her face. Leaning forward she stroked Lunas head softly before going downstairs for breakfast.
"Morning sweetheart," her father said as he retrieved the morning paper.
Serena smiled waving to him before heading to the kitchen.
"Good Morning Serena, did you happen to notice if your brother was awake?" Her mother asked as she placed a stack of eggs and bacon in front of her daughter.
"Heard him moving around his room so I guess so, thanks mum this looks great," Serena replied as she dug into her breakfast.
"Look who I found," her dad said as he wondered back into the kitchen. The paper clutched in his hand.
"Darien," Serena said happily surprised.
He had been getting better and better at his small surprises lately. Then again with how little sleep she had gotten the previous night it was relatively easy to catch her off guard.
"I have a free this morning so thought I would come walk you to school," he explained.
"Well you two best be off then, wouldn't want to be late," her mother said as she shooed the two out of the house.
"They had plenty of time," ken said to his wife.
"No, Serena had plenty of time if she did her usual mad dash to school, not plenty of time walking with Darien," she replied just as Sammy walked down the stairs.
"You haven't walked me to school for years, why the sudden change?" Serena asked happily clutching his arm.
"Well I really did have a free block this morning for one; secondly I sort of like spending as much time with you as possible. Lastly your conversation with molly last night made me think I would have to remind and show the boys in your school you were mine," he answered looking down at her with a grin.
"Yours huh? Does that make you mine?" she smiled up at him.
Darien didn't get a chance to answer as a loud screech was heard.
"Hey Serena hang onto that guy for me will ya,"
The couple both turned towards the voice in shock as Anne ran across the road narrowly avoiding traffic.
"Umm Hi Anne," Serena started.
Anne ignored her turning to Darien.
"Hi, I'm Anne would you like to like go on a date with me?" she said confidently in her grating voice.
Darien's eyes went wide and he backed away slightly bringing Serena back into Anne's view.
"No Anne, Darien would not like to date you," Serena wailed loudly in the girl's ear casing her to wince.
Anne turned to her angrily. Shaking her fist lightly.
"Back off Blondie, I asked him, not you. I'm sure the guys can speak for himself, so what do you say Darien?" she said looking back at him.
"No," Darien said simply his shock subsiding.
"See he said no, now get lost," Serena said with a small grin.
"Like even, I'm sure he's just embarrassed around you, why are you even here?" Anne said not losing any of her confidence at Darien's rejection.
Serena's face turned a dark shade of red as she tried to keep her voice down.
"I'm walking to school with MY BOYFRIEND Darien, who, I will have you know had never been embarrassed around me and is not interested in dating another girl," she said in a quiet rage.
"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Boyfriend? As if you could get a guy like this. You expect me to believe that whatever. Catch you later handsome," Anne laughed before turning and walking away swinging her hips and still laughing.
"Ooh that, that, that wretch! How dare she?" Serena seethed.
Darien who was still unsure what had just happened smiled at her angry face.
"You're really cute when you're mad," he commented causing Serena to turn to him.
"You, why didn't you back me up there? She just laughed in my face when I told her you were taken," she asked still steaming.
Darien held his hands up but couldn't help smiling at her as she looked at him expectantly.
"You're also incredibly sexy when you're jealous," he replied wrapping his arms around her waist.
Serena's anger faded completely as he held her. Sighing she relaxed into him.
"Now why couldn't you have done and said that while Anne was insulting me?" she asked quietly.
Darien leaned down kissing her soundly and much more passionately than expected. As they pulled apart his thoughts told her he really had found her jealously sexy.
"To be completely honest I wasn't sure what was happening. I thought she was a friend of yours since she seemed to know you and none of your friends have ever asked me out before, not even Raye," he answered sheepishly.
"Don't worry, I'm sure she'll eventually get the picture besides I would never even consider being with anyone but you. I belong to you mind, soul and especially body," he added with a grin.
"I know, I guess it's the same for me as it was for you last night everyone knows were together so it kind of surprised me when she just blatantly asked you out right in front of me, oh damn now I'm goanna be late," Serena sobbed.
"Not if we run. Race ya?" Darien answered getting ready to run.
Serena giggled before running away from him laughing.
"Hey head start no fair," Darien laughed as he chased after her.
He finally caught her at the school gates a full 5 minutes early.
"We should really test how fast you actually run love, I'm fairly certain that distance in 3 minutes isn't normal without a car," he said breathing heavily.
"Hey guys," Mina said as she, Amy and Lita met them at the gate.
"Did you guys run here? Serena I thought you were getting up earlier? And Darien, you're not usually here in the mornings?" Lita asked confused.
"Yes we ran but only from about 6 blocks away and yes I got up early we had a run in with Anne I'll explain that later. Darien surprised me by walking me to school on his free block this morning," Serena answered hurriedly.
"Anne? The new chick?" Mina asked.
Serena nodded.
"She's a nut job first she shouted from across the road for me to hold onto Darien for her then when she dodged traffic to get to us she asked Darien out. When I explained that he was my boyfriend she laughed and well basically said I was joking," she explained just as the first bell rang.
Turning to Darien she kissed him quickly confirming they would meet at the arcade after school before she walked into school with the girls who were exclaiming how silly they thought Anne was.
"Don't worry Serena, we'll handle her is she tries laughing at you again," Lita said palming a fist.
The other nodded in support and Serena smiled as they walked into class.
"Thanks guys you're the best,"
