The bag she was holding in her hand was making hurt. Finally, the elevator stopped on the 10th floor and Serena carefully made her way down the halls. Soon she came to a familiar office and walked in. She made her way over to a large desk and suddenly heard a familiar voice call her name. “Hey Serena! What brings you here today?” Kate smiled up at the petite blond. She had gotten to know Serena pretty well in the couple of weeks that she and Darien had been dating. Serena stopping by to bring Darien lunch wasn’t unusual. “Hiya Kate! Is Darien busy right now?” Serena asked, hoping the answer is no. “I’m not sure let me check.” Kate picked up the black phone sitting next to her and pressed a couple buttons on it. “Yeah?” Darien’s voice came out over the speaker. “Mr. Chiba, you have a visitor.” Kate informed him. “I do? Who is it?” Darien’s voice was confused. “Uh......It’s Mr. Hytens.” Kate grinned mischievously at Serena, and she giggled slightly. “Mr. Hytens? His meeting is tomorrow.” Darien argued, wondering what was going on. “No, today is his meeting. Would you like me to send him in?” Kate asked. “Yes, of course!” Darien said quickly. “You may go in Mr. Hytens.” Kate laughed. Serena smiled and made her way in. “Mr. Hytens, I apologize for messing up your meeting dates.......” Darien rushed out as soon as the door opened until he realize that his visit was not a man, but his Meatball Head. “I’m gonna shoot Kate.” Darien mumbled, but walked over and wrapped Serena in a loving hug. Then he kissed her lips gently. “Hey Muffin, ready for lunch?” Serena held up the bag that she was holding. Darien led her over to his desk and pulled up an extra chair. They sat there for a few minutes in silence, just eating their McDonalds (*AN: Was there any doubt? It’s the best food out there!!!) Soon the silence was filled with talk about tonight’s plans and what they were going to do the rest of this week. Then Serena started laughing. “What?” Darien asked, totally lost. “Oh, I just remembered something I found out last night. After dinner, I went over to talk to Raye, and I sort-of ease dropped on her phone conversation because she was talking to Lita, Mina and Amy and they have a bet as to how long were gonna be together before one of us kills each other.” Serena was laughing so hard she almost spit out her french fries. “What else?” Darien asked when she was able to talk again, curiosity getting the best of him. “Oh, well Raye said we wouldn’t make it past 1st month without me killing you because she doesn’t think you’d be likely to hit a girl. And Mina, the helpless romantic said that they would be eating their words at our wedding. Amy didn’t comment and Lita said that we would go at least a few months before we got tired of the endless amount of pet names we have and break-up.” By now, both of them were laughing. And all Darien could think of as he stood up was how lucky he was to have this beautiful angel with him. Her walked around and pulled her up into a strong embrace. “I think that for once Mina is right.” Darien whispered quietly as they held each other close. For a few minutes, that’s all they did, until Serena glanced at the clock. It was 11:45. “Oh my gosh! I have to go and meet the girl’s at Raye’s temple in 15 minutes!! Their gonna skin me if I’m late again!” Serena cried as she hurriedly cleaned up Darien’s office. “See ya tonight Muffin!” Serena called as she got ready to run out the door, but Darien grabbed her. “Don’t I get a good-bye kiss?” he asked in mock sadness. Serena sighed, but stood up on her tip-toes and gently kissed his lips. Then she bolted out the door. ******************* “Oh my gosh. The world is coming to an end.” Lita said, as everyone looked at what she was seeing. Here came Serena running up the temple steps, three minutes early for a meeting! They all gasped in surprise. “Well, well. I’m very proud Serena. Your here on time.” Luna stated from the window sill, sitting next to Artemis. “Yeah yeah. I hope you know how fast I had to run to get over here so I didn’t have to listen to Raye’s big mouth.” Serena stated. “Hey! I don’t have that big of a mouth!” argued Raye. She and Serena stood up to face each other, and the others got ‘sweatdrops’. They could already see another one of their ever popular tongue wars. Lita stepped in before anything could erupt. “Don’t you think that we should be talking about who’s gonna bring what to the picinic tonight?” Serena’s eyes lit up as she thought about the picinic that night and all the food. “Well, I think that Lita’s bringing most of the food, or at least will.” Mina smiled. “And I can bring some brownies I guess.” “I have a couple giant blankets we can use too.” Serena piped up. “I’m planning on bringing the drinks.” Amy added, looking up from her homework. “I’m going to bring some games too.” Raye said. “Like what? Spin the bottle?” Mina joked. She leaned over and whispered something to Lita, causing her to burst out laughing. Raye shot a *very* angry look in there way, Amy looked as if she was trying her hardest not to laugh and Luna and Artemis were rolling their eyes. “What?” Serena knew something was gong on and she wanted to know what. “Forget about it.” Raye mumbled. “Oh my gosh! Your blushing! The high and mighty Raye Hino is actually blushing!!” Serena laughed hysterically, and soon so was everyone else, except Raye. “HEY! We have business to discuss about the NegaVerse you know!” Raye shouted, shutting everyone up. “She’s right. Were having this meeting because I’m getting worried.” Luna stated. “The NegaVerse hasn’t attacked in a while and I wonder what they have in store.” “Maybe they realized that they can’t beat us and gave up.” Serena suggested hopefully. “I don't’ think so. They were after the Imperium Silver Crystal and that was too important to them. Whoever posses the crystal, posses the most powerful thing in the whole universe!” Luna explained. “Is that why we have to find the missing princess?” Amy asked. “Yes.” Artemis answered this time. “The ancient Moon Princess is the only one that can weld the power and defeat the NegaVerse.” “No she isn’t! The Sailor Scouts could do it!” Serena complained. “Yeah!” Raye, Lita and Mina all cried. “The NegaVerse are the ones that destroyed the Moon Kingdom back during the Silver Millennium. The Queen couldn’t defeat them alone, but the Princess, along with the Sailor Scouts, can defeat them I bet.” Luna said. “But back to the picinic. Is everyone coming?” Mina asked. Soon everyone’s thoughts turned back to normal teenage thoughts, and not those of super heroines, destine to save their world. Little did they know that the legendary last Moon Princess of the Silver Millennium and the Eternal Messiah, savior of the galaxy, was the Meatball Headed leader sitting among them. ***********Later That night************ Laughter filled the air. Anyone who was walking by couldn’t help but smile at the picture everyone made. Mina was kidding with Amy, causing her to blush and Greg too for that matter. Lita and Ken were lost in their own little world, talking. Raye and Rita were talking about the latest fashions they had read about in Seventeen and Chad and Andrew were talking about the latest musicians. As for Serena and Darien, they were laying up against a tree, totally oblivious to everyone else. “Okay! We have got to play a game now before it gets too dark!” Mina yelled, breaking everyone out of their thoughts. The sun would be setting soon and they doubt the flashlights and portable lamps they brought would be enough. “So, what are we going to play first?” Ken asked, draping his arm casually over Lita’s shoulders. “How about Twister?” Raye suggested. Everyone readily agreed, except for a few of the guys. Darien, Andrew, and Chad all backed up. “Oh no, were not playing that.” Andrew laughed, looking right at Rita. “Oh yes you are.” She grabbed him by the hand and drug him over to where Lita and Mina were busy setting out the Twister blanket. Chad took one look at Raye’s face and knew that he couldn't’ argue. He walked over with the rest, defeated. Raye was right behind him, a look of victory present in her eyes. Darien glanced down at Serena’s gaze. “Please Muffin.” She begged, edging her body closer to him. He could feel all of his defenses slowly starting to fall. “Pretty please, for me?” “Oh, alright.” he sighed as Serena let out a little shout and took his hand leading him over with everyone else. Soon they were involved in their game, lost in their own little world. Laughing and joking was going around. The Scouts couldn't’ remember a time when they had felt so alive and not a one of them was worried about the NegaVerse or Scout business until a bright flash of light appeared in the sky. Everyone fell to the ground and fought desperately to untangle themselves from each other. They looked to the sky to see a not-so-good looking creature hovering about 5 feet in front of them. “Hello.” She hissed, her voice soft and menacing. “I am Gambina, warrior of the NegaVerse. And I am here to capture you Sailor Scouts.” “Wha....what......are you talking.....about?” Lita stuttered. They all glanced fearfully at each other, wondering how they knew. “Were not the Sailor Scouts. I mean look at us. Were just normal teenagers.” Serena cried, burring herself deeper into Darien’s protective arms. ‘Could they be here because of me? Because they also know that I’m Tuxedo Mask?’ Darien wondered silently, but didn't’ utter a word out loud. “I have my orders from Queen Beryl and I’m here to carry them out.” A large white ball of energy shot out from a long staff in her hands and enveloped the large group in it. ******* “Ouch!” Everyone landed with a hard thud on the stone floor. They stood up to study their surrounding, only to find that they could barley see anything. They faintly saw Gambina in front of them as she lit something with caused the whole room to come ablaze with light. “Don’t try to escape, you puny Scouts. This room is protected from your weak powers. Now my little minions, destroy the retched Scouts and their little friends.” With that, Gambina threw out about 20 playing cards. They seemed like normal everything cards until they started glowing. They soon grew to almost 6 feet tall a developed hand and feet and eyes. They cards began to surround the group. The Scouts looked at each other and knew they only had one choice. “I don’t know who you think you are, but you can not take us and our friends think that your going to kill us. In the name of the moon.....” Serena stepped forward, soon followed by the others. “In the name of Mars.” “On behalf of Jupiter.” “By the power of Venus.” “And with the wisdom of Mercury.” “We will punish you.” Serena threw up her hand in the air with held a small locket and shouted the phrase that she seemed to yell almost every night. “Moon Star Power!” The others followed her example, raising their own hands in to the air. “Mars Power!” “Jupiter Power!” “Venus Power!” “Mercury Power!” Soon, five Scouts were standing in front of their friends. “You guys get back and stay out of the way.” Mars commanded. “We’ll explain everything later.” Moon added. “Mercury, can you scan them to see what their weakness is?” Jupiter asked. Mercury nodded and activated her computer. Sailor Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Venus were busy attacking the monster from all angles. The guys and Rita watched from the safety of the farthest wall, starting at their friends in amazement. “I don’t believe this.........” Andrew mumbled. Greg, not uttering a word, was the only one there the wasn’t in shock. He was too busy trying to help Mercury figure out a weakness. Out of no where, a large stream of energy was headed straight for Sailor Moon. Moon couldn’t see it, her back was turned the other way. But Darien saw it. Without a moments hesitation, he threw a steel tipped rose at the energy beam, destroying it. Moon noticed this and turned around, and seeing the red rose on the ground, looked over the in the other direction. There was Chad and Ken backed up far against the wall, watching over Mars and Jupiter. Greg was on the floor, assisting Mercury. Andrew was holding Rita close and Darien was standing there holding.........a............rose?? He winked at Moon then raised the rose high in the air. In a matter of seconds there stood Tuxedo Mask where Darien Chiba had once stood. Everyone gasped. Sailor Moon watched in awe as Tuxedo Mask jumped over to stand next to her. “You....your....Darien your Tuxedo Mask?” Sailor Moon managed to choke out. “Well, never thought my little meatball head would be Sailor Moon.” Tux whispered back, keeping his eyes on the battle. “ What do you say we finish this thing off and get back home?” Moon nodded her head and took a fighting stance. The Scouts regrouped and looked around. This was going to be a long battle. The looked sadly at Mercury who was standing with them, unable to find a weakness. **The End** NOT! Just kidding ya! It isn’t. I’ve still got some more to go! Can’t leave them here all night! Reminder: I LUV e-mail!! aqua_moonstone17@hotmail.com Laterz!!!!!! ~*~ Alexis-chan ~*~
