A Run From Destiny
Chapter Thirteen
At school, Mina stepped in front of Taiki as he was leaving.
"I got tickets to a movie and I was hoping you'd go with me" She said quickly. She grabbed Taiki's arm and he sighed.
"I'm sorry, but I need to rehearse for an upcoming concert" He said, extracting himself from her grip. As he walked away, Lita and Serena walked up to Mina.
"That went well" Serena said dryly. "What movie were you going to go see?"
"Adult Love XX" Mina replied. Lita and Serena gaped at her.
"No wonder he didn't want to go" Lita said. Both girls giggled and Mina stormed off in a huff. Amy joined them.
"What was that all about?" She asked, watching Mina's retreating figure. Lita told and Amy blushed a brilliant shade of red.
"Umm, well, Taiki asked me to come see him rehearse" She stammered. Lita and Serena raised eyebrows at this new information.
"I don't think he told Mina" Serena said. "Are you guys an item now?"
"Oh no" Amy said quickly. "Taiki and I sometimes study together and I mentioned that I love his music" She blushed again. Serena smiled and the three girls began walking down the hall. As they were leaving the school building, Taiki and Seiya were waiting out front.
"Ready?" Taiki asked. Amy nodded the two of them walked away.
"They make a cute couple" Serena said, staring after them.
"Hey Serena, would you like to hang out with me tomorrow?" Seiya asked. Serena turned to look at him and bit her lip. Then she nodded.
"Sure" She said.
"Great" Seiya replied. "I'll pick you up in the morning" He jogged away and Lita poked Serena in the side.
"Jason's going to kill you" She warned. Serena rolled her eyes.
"I'm not a baby" She said. "I can handle Seiya" Lita raised an eyebrow as Serena walked away.
On the train, Sailor Iron Mouse was bombarded by numerous telephones that keep materialising out of thin air.
She finally answered one of the phones.
"This is your last chance" Galaxia said. Iron Mouse panicked and hung up! As she looked around, she noticed a Three Lights Poster.
"They must have the star seeds Galaxia is looking for" Iron Mouse determined.
When Serena got home, and told the guys about her date, Jason was livid.
"Absolutely not" He said. Serena sighed.
"Jason, I love you, you know that, But I have a life. Yes, Darien hurt me, but it's time for me to move on" She said. Jason sighed and ran a hand through his blonde hair.
"Seiya is a playboy" He said. "He messes around with women" Serena laughed.
"Then I guess it's a good thing I'm a soldier. Besides, it's a casual date, it's not like I love him or anything" She said.
"I think Serena should go" Sammy piped up. Serena turned to her younger brother and smiled. "I want you to be happy again" She hugged him and Jason realized that he couldn't argue with Sammy's logic.
"Fine, I want you to be extra careful though" He warned. Serena rolled her eyes, but nodded.
The next morning, Serena woke Zoe up early and dragged her to the bedroom.
"What should I wear?" She asked. Zoe laughed.
"I thought this was a casual date" She said.
"It is, but I still want to look nice" Serena protested. Zoe smirked.
The doorbell rang and Serena shrieked.
"I'm not ready yet" She said.
"Don't worry" Zoe said, doing Serena's hair. "If he really wants to go on this date, he'll be patient"
Seiya stood in the middle of the room, feeling acutely uncomfortable. Nate was sitting on a couch, arms crossed. Jason was leaning against the wall, glaring at him and Kale was pretending to read the paper, but he was really keeping an eye on Seiya. Sammy wasn't paying attention, instead, he was playing a game on his gameboy.
He looked towards the stairs as Serena and another woman, who he assumed was Zoe, came down the stairs. Serena's silver hair was in a single braid and she was wearing a white sundress and high heeled white sandals.
"Ready?" She asked, walking over to him. Seiya nodded and they left. Once they were outside, he began to breath easier. "You okay?"
"They just make me nervous" He said, laughing a bit. Serena nodded.
"Yeah, they tend to do that" She agreed. "So, where are we going?"
"I thought we'd go to the amusement park first" Seiya said. Serena smiled. She hadn't been there in ages. At the zoo, Seiya played a keychain machine and won a moon bear, which he pinned to Serena's shirt. She played and won a unicorn, which she game him. When they went to the haunted mansion, Serena clung to Seiya's arm.
"I hate scary things" she muttered. Seiya laughed.
After the amusment park, Seiya took Serena to his favorite nightclub. As they entered Serena noticed Amy and Taiki and dragged Seiya over to them.
"I thought you were only friends?" Serena asked, smirking. Amy and Taiki blushed identical shades of red, causing Seiya and Serena to laugh. Seiya led Serena to a private room and ordered drinks for them.
They sat and talked for awhile, but suddenly, the power went out. Seiya could hear screams from the main room.
"Stay here" He told Serena. He left the room and Serena transformed.
Iron Mouse attacked Seiya and Taiki but they dodged the attack and transformed into Sailor Star Fighter and Star Maker. Star Healer soon joined her. Amy saw the transformation in disbelief, but said nothing. She didn't want to risk transforming, and when Princess Sailor Moon came on the scene, Amy decided to stay crouched in the shadows.
Suddenly Sailor Moon saw Seiya's unicorn on the floor and picked it up.
"What did you do to Seiya?" She asked angrily. Iron Mouse laughed.
"Oh, you don't know?" She asked. Before she could speak further, Fighter attacked.
"Star Serious Laser"
Iron Mouse blocked the attack with her phone booth. Unfortunately the phone rang. She tentatively picked it up.
"You have failed for the last time" Galaxia said, appearing before them. She removed Iron Mouse's bracelets, destroying her.
"Galaxia, finally we meet" Princess Sailor Moon said, glaring at the evil woman.
"Ah, Princess of the Moon, stay out of my way and you might survive" Sailor Moon laughed.
"I would, if you hadn't taken the Earth Prince. Since he can't defend his people, I will" She said.
"We'll see about that" Galaxia said. She laughed and vanished.
Once Princess Sailor Moon was gone, The starlights detransformed.
"Serena is Sailor Moon" Seiya said said, eyebrow raised.
"I know" Yaten revealed. It was Seiya and Taiki's turn to be surprised.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Seiya asked.
"Because I promised someone very special that I wouldn't" Yaten said. "The point is, Serena doesn't know that we know and she doesn't know who we are" Amy stepped out of the shadows. Everyone else in the club had fled when Iron Mouse appeared.
"I do" She said quietly.
