Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ House of Memories ❯ Chapter 5

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Part 21
I was siting in a corner of the auditorium thinking. Linds was ordering
people around as usual. It was so weird that we had been brother and sister,
during the Silver millennium. I wonder if we were anything alike, cause
we're defiantly not in this time. What really has me confused though is that
I have this picture of my family and me, from before the accident. I was
standing in front of mom and my dad was holding a little girl. My sister. I
don't remember anything about her, but I doubt it's Linds. She's a Wolf and
I'm a Chiba.
"Hey Earth to Cape Boy." Linds was waving a hand in front of my face.
"Sorry Linds." I smiled at my friend. "I was just thinking."
"'Bout what?" She asked.
"Just stuff. Oh yeah, Serena asked me to tell you that there's a scout
meeting at the temple today at four." "Ok. You coming?"
"I'm not usually a part of them, but I can."
"Great cause I want to ask all of you something at once. Common, we need to
working on the battle seen some more." She dragged me over to the stage.
Linds and I left the college at a quarter till four to meet the other
girls. "So what are you planning on asking us?" I pried.
"You'll find out soon enough. Hey what's that?" She was looking out the car
window towards the ware house we were passing. "Pull over."
"OK." I did. "What did you see?" "I think I saw a monster."
"What?!?!? We'd better check it out."
We snuck over and looked in one of the buildings. Sure enough there was a
monster and Sailor Neptune was in there too, along with a man in a racing suit.
"Should we help?" Linds asked.
"Shh... not yet. Besides you can't transform yet." "What?"
"Transform. That's how you get to your scout form. Now be quite. I want to
hear what they're saying.
A transformation pen of some sort was floating in front of the man with
sandy blond hair, who was wearing the racing suit.
"Don't touch it!!" Neptune yelled as she dodged the monster's attack. It
was gaining the upper hand. Neptune DID need help, but I wanted to see what
the man did.
"If you want to have a normal life Don't touch it!! AAHHHH!!" Neptune
screamed as the creature hit her into a wall. At that moment the man grabbed
the pen and looked up. "Uranus Planet Power!!!!!"
Ok so he's a she. Easy mistake. "Cool!" Linds said. "Another scout!"
I continued to watch.
"World Shaking!!!" a blast of golden light struck the ground and bounced
back up at the monster destroying it.
"You ok?" Uranus asked Neptune and helped her up.
"Yes. Thank you. You do understand that now you are a scout and there's no
changing that, right?" Uranus nodded.
"So Neptune does this mean you two will come o the meeting today?" I asked
walking in. "Endymion. Tranquility." Neptune greeted.
"She knows?" Linds asked. I nodded. "Well?" I asked.
"It's at temple right?" "Yes. I take it that means you're coming?"
"Maybe."
With that the two left. Linds and I were left speechless at their rudeness
and somewhat stuck up ways.
PART 22
Due to out little run in with Neptune and Uranus Linds and I were late to
the meeting. Even Serena was there before us.
"Sorry guys." Linds said and sat down. I decided to just stand against a
wall.
"Why were you so late?" Mina asked.
"We had a run in with Neptune and Uranus." I said.
"Uranus???" Ami asked.
"Yeah, there's another new scout." Linds said.
"Are they coming?" Rei asked.
"Don't know."

Then the door to the fire room started to open up.
"CHAD!!! I thought I told you to stay out!!" Rei yelled.
"Mars. We are not this Chad person you're yelling at." Neptune said.
"So you did decide to come." I said.
"Yes." Uranus said.
Hum. They act like a couple of stuck up snobs. I can't believe how they
act!!
A very think silence filled the room, with tension. No one said any thing.
We all just looked at one another. Uranus and I got into a some what violent
glaring contest. Then all of a sudden Serena stood up.
"STOP IT!!!!" She yelled. "This won't solve any thing. Neptune, Uranus, are

you two on our side or not?"
"Princess, we outer scouts have a different mission than you inners. We're
all fighting for the same cause, but as two teams. We will assist you when
it's need, but other wise you're on your own."
"If there's to missions then why are there more of us, the inners as you
called us, and only two of you?" Lita asked.
"There are two more of us. Pluto is keeping up her work at the time gate.
Saturn hasn't been awakened, and won't be."
"Why not?" Serena asked.
"Princess, she is far to powerful and uncontrollable. If it was as it was
before she'd be put in a deep sleep, and only awakened in the face of total
destruction."
"Aren't we a loving bunch." I muttered.
"Darien!!" Serena said and gave me a look.
"It's alright."Neptune said and gave Uranus a look before she did anything.

"Endymion, you are in no position to question our tactics and you never
were."
"I can see that." I said. I hadn't realized how much these two were getting

to me. "I'll see you later." I said and left before something bad happened.

I had no clue why I was so angry at those two. I hardly knew them! Maybe
that's it though. They're scouts too and yet they don't act like part of the
team. This whole super hero gig sure can be confusing.

I decide just to head home and relax a bit. The phone rang the second I
walked in the door.
"Hello." I said.
"Oh I'm sorry I must have dialed the wrong number." A woman said.
"Who are you trying to reach?"
"My niece, Serena Tsukino."
"Oh, hello, Samantha."
"Who are you? And how do you know my name?" Samantha questioned.
"It's me. Darien Chiba. Serena's boyfriend." Oh I loved saying that to this

bitch!
"Oh, you. Well tell Serena I'll be in town for the week end and I wanted to

know if she'd like to go see a play with me."
God this woman's changed, some what. It must have been that monster in her
that wound her up to ultra bitch.
"Sure, what day?
"Saturday. It's at, oh 7, I do believe."
"It would happen to be at the little theater in town would it?"
"Why yes. Yes it is. Why?"
"Hahaha...."
"What's so funny young man?"
"Nothing. Serena can't go."
"And why not?"
"She's the leading female role in the play, Princess Serenity."
"REALLY!?!?!?!" Why didn't she tell me?"
"I guess she thought you didn't care."
"Oh, poor dear. I don't mean to be the witch I am. My work just puts a lot
of stress on me. Look Darien, that's your name right?"
"Yes."
"Ok, don't tell her I'm coming. I want her to be surprised."
"Sure."
"And another thing."
"What?"
"I'm sorry for the way I've treated you. In fact I'm grateful that you're
helping Serena get back on her feet. I really didn't want to drag her away
from her home. I just thought that I'd have to. Do you understand?"
"Completely. Don't worry, she's with friends."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Good bye."
"Bye."

Amassing!! Who would have guessed that bitch could be nice?!?!? I hung up
the phone and sat down with a good book. I hope Serena isn't mad at me for
leaving. I wonder what Linds wanted to ask us any ways???

"I can't believe those two!!!" Serena growled when she came in the door. I
looked up at her. "As soon as you left they made some snide remark about
'arrogance never dying', what ever that means, and then they left too!!!"
"ARROGANT?!?!? They think I'M arrogant. They should talk, hu! Ok, maybe I
am some, but it's NOTHING compared to them."
"I hate to say it about fellow scouts, but you're right. They we're total
snobs."
"Not to change the subject, but did Linds get to ask you guys a question of

some sort?"
"Oh Yeah!!! She was kinda nervus when she asked us and stuff. I think she's

wants to be the one to ask you too."
"Yeah, that's why I came to the meeting. Linds asked me to, since it was
her first. Oh did you guys give here a communicator and a transformation
pen?"
"Yeah Luna did. But she wouldn't let Linds try it yet. Oh... you should
have seen the look on her face. I swear she wanted to drop kick Luna and
Artemis across the room!!!" Serena busted up laughing and I couldn't help
but smile. I'm always happier when she's happy.

"Oh I have some good news for you too."
"What is it?"
"Samantha called and she's not going to take you to California with her."
"REALLY?!??!?!?!"
I nodded. Serena jumped up and squealed with happiness before she tackled
me and sent us crashing to the floor.
"This is grate!!!" She laughed and laid her head on my chest. "Now I can
say here with everyone I love." she sighed and closed her eyes.
"Serena."
"Yeah?"
"I know you happy where you are but do you think we could move this
somewhere softer? I think I landed on one of Luna's cat toys."

Serena giggled and gave me a quick kiss before getting up. Sure enough a
wind up mouse had been right under my back.
"Ouch." I rubbed my sore spot. "You'd think Luna wouldn't like these
things, being as smart as she is."
"Oh poor baby. Come over here." I walked over to her. "Now lay down on your

stomach." I did so, on the floor. " Now relax." Serena started to give me a
back rub. Oh God did it feel good.
"Gee... you sure you never did this before?" I joked. I felt a knuckle dig
into my back, without her saying a word. "Ouch! Ok point taken. No jokes
when your pampering me. Ouch! Ok I'm just gonna shut up now."
"Good Darien, you're learning." she laughed. "God you're like a rock.
You've got a ton of knots in here. Since when have you been under so much
stress?"
"I thought I wasn't suppose to talk?"
"Darien...."
"Ok, Ok. I don't know really. Maybe they formed there a while ago and I
just got use to them."
"I don't think so. You don't think it's from when those to got you worked
up do you?"
"No, but who knows. All I know is that you're doing a great job. Oh that
feels good. Gee you wanna be my personals masseuse?"
"I don't know what's the pay?' she laughed.
"Anything I can offer you."
"Ok then it's time to pay up."

I rolled over onto my back and pulled Serena down to me. "How's this for
starters?" and I kissed her deeply. I felt her running her hands through my
hair as we kissed. When we finally broke for air Serena looked at me and
smiled.
"It's a start."
I growled playfully and started to kiss her neck and worked my way up to
her ear and then across her check to her lips again, teasing her with my
lips. Just as we were starting to really enjoy ourselves that damn phone
rang.
RING, RING, RING!!!
"Can't.... we just.... let it..... ring?" Serena asked between kisses.
"We... really should... answer it...... though."

Reluctantly Serena got up and answered the phone. I stood up and stretched.
"Darien it's Linds. She wants to talk to you."
"Ok." I went and got the phone from Serena, who then disappeared up stairs.

"Hello."
'Hey Cape boy!"
"Linds you have REALLY bad timing."
"Oh did I catch it in the sower or something?"
"No Linds."
"Oh. Then what did I... Oh! I get it. Sorry. So you and sere where having a

little tung war???"
"Lindsey Benet Wolf."
"Uh oh. I made some one mad."
"What did you want Linds?
"Oh yeah, um... never mind I'll tell you tomorrow. Now you just go finish
what you started." she laughed and hung up the phone. LINDSEY!!!!! I'm going
to hurt her tomorrow. Maybe.
PART 23.

"Cape Boy!! There you are." Linds called as I walked into the auditorium.
"I've been looking for you."
"What is it Linds?" Hum.... should I get even now or later????
"Well since you ran off yesterday I didn't get to tell you the news. I was
talking to my mom, well Jan's not really my mom and Tim's not really my
dad."
"What?"
"Yep. They adopted me."
"So you're not really a Wolf by blood?"
"Nope. Jan started to tell me the whole story, but she wouldn't tell me my
real family name or my parent's and bother's name. It seams they all died in
a car crash, when I was in California visiting a friend of mine, Amanda."
"Your sister."
"Yeah, but then we were only best friends. I had met here when she was on
vacation ,when I was six, and we kept in touch. When they heard what happen
when I was there, Jan said there was no way she was sending me back to Tokyo
alone. So I'm actually a native Japanese. But what's weird is that there's
no death record of my brother, or so Jan told me. So he could still be
alive. She's sending me some pictures. He was only a year older than me, so
he'd be your age Darien."
"Hum....."
"Darien??? Hello??? Tranquility to Endymion. Wake up cape Boy. DARIEN!!!!!"
"Hu What?!?!?!??!"
"You totally spaced out on me!!"
"Sorry I was just thinking."
"'Bout what?"
"Our pasts. Not the royalty one, but our resent pasts. They're a lot alike
in ways. I mean you know that I was orphaned at seven."
"Yeah."
"And you were in the same year."
"Yeah."
"Well....No never mind. Hey I got some stuff I have to get done. See you
later."
"Darien Wait!!!!!"

To late Linds. I was already out the door when I heard her yelling at my
back. Things were getting a little TOO strange for my taste. I got on my
cycle and decided to go for a ride to clear my mind. I could a ford skipping
the rest of today's classes. Most were just study days.

I drove to the park and made my way to the rose gardens. I found my
favorite bench, right next to a pond, and sat down. Could Linds be my lost
sister???? I mean we were related back in the silver millennium. No that's
just crazy. We look nothing alike. But then again Serena didn't look like
anyone in her family. THIS IS CRAZY!!!
I pounded my fist into the bench. Things are just getting too hectic. Maybe

a few games will clear my mind. I got up and headed to the arcade.

"Hey Andrew." I said after spotting my friend at the crane game.
"Hey Darien. I thought you had classes today."
"I do. I needed to clear my head."
"What's up?"
"Oh nothing I need to worry you with. So has Linds told you the news?"
"That she's not really a Wolf? Yeah. It's weird hu?"
"You have no idea."
"Hu?"
"Never mind." I put a quarter in the machine and took my luck at the Tuxedo

Mask toy I always seam to try for. As usual I missed it.

"DARIEN!!! There you are!!!" Linds burst into the arcade panting.
"Linds what's wrong?"
"They've got..... the others.... we've gotta... go. NOW!"
"WHAT?!?!?!??!?!?!"
"I got a message from our pals the snobs. Zoi and Kunz have struck again."
"Serena! We've gotta go now."
"Go where?" Andrew asked as all of our info went over his head.
"Don't worry. We'll see yah later." Linds said and we ran off.

"Ok hold up here." I said and dragged Linds into a near by ally.
"What?"
"We have to transform. Luna did give you the pen right."
"Yeah." Linds pulled out a pen that had a black bottom and the symbol of
Earth on the top in gold.
"Ok." I pulled out my crystal rose and turned into Tuxedo Mask.
"Here goes nothing." Linds said and raised her pen into the air. "Earth
POWER!!!! MAKE UP!!" After the swirls of Black and pink faded away Linds
stood in front of me in a black sailor suit with pink bows.

"God these things are shorter than I though." Linds commented before we
took to the roof tops. "How does Rei do this?"
"Do what?"
"Run in high heals!!!" I hadn't even noticed the black heals that completed

the suit.
"I guess you'll have to ask her. Where did those two say they'd meet us?"
"The construction yard down near the dock."
"Ok. Let's pick up the pace."
"God this is sooo cool!!!"
"What fighting evil?"
"No jumping from roof op to roof top in a single bound!"
"Yeah, it's one of the perks of the job."
"But this thing is REALLY drafty!!!!! Who designed these things any
way????"
I couldn't help but laugh at that, "I have no clue but I'd LOVE to meet
them."
"Why you....."
"There's the dock."
"Sure just change the subject."
"Yep."

Neptune and Uranus where standing behind a large pile of pipes, waiting for

us.
"Did you see where they took them?" I asked.
"They're still here, just trapped in an energy barrier." Uranus said and
motioned to the clearing near by. A large black dome was trapping Moon,
Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. It was also shrinking as we spoke.
"We've gotta get them out." Earth said.
"We need a plan first." Neptune said.
"What did they want?" I asked and looked around for Zoi cite and Kunzite.
"The silver crystal and the princess." Uranus explained. " I guess they
haven't figured out that Sailor Moon's the princess."
"But that's not a bad thing. It mean she's safer." I said still watching
them. They were hovering about the dome.
"But I thought that the 7 crystals made the silver crystal." Earth said.
"They do." Neptune aid.
"But they have all of them."
"Maybe they haven't figured out how to make them form the crystal." I said
as I tried to see who was controlling the dome. It has to be Kunzite,
because his hands haven't moved from that spot since we got here, and he
hasn't taken his eyes off the dome either.

"I'm going to try some thing." I said "Be ready to help fight." I skunk
around to another hiding spot. This time I was lined up with Kunzite's
hands. I readied a rose and aimed. As I hoped I hit his wrists dead on and
he screamed in pain. At the same time the dome faded and scouts stood up.
"Thanks! Tuxedo mask!" Moon called.
"You guys ok?" Earth asked and ran up, but Neptune and Uranus took after
Zoicite and Kunzite.
"WORLD SHAKING!!!!!!!"
"DEEP SUBMERGE!!!!!"
Both generals dodged and then vanished. Shortly after the two 'outer
scouts' left. I went over and joined the group of girls.

"Mars how on Earth can you run in these things?" Earth asked, referring to
the shoes.
"You get use to it." Mars laughed.
"We should be getting out of here before anyone shows up and wonders what's

going on." Mercury said.
"Yeah." Venus and Jupiter agreed.
"Who's up for coco and cookies at my place?" Moon asked.
"It depends. Who made the cookies?" Mars joked.
"Ha ha ha. Very funny. I bought them ok."
"Alright let's go stuff our faces!!" Earth said while trying to pull her
skirt down some. "And can we change out of these? PLEEEEEEEASE!!!!!"
We all laughed at that.
"You're just going to have to get use to it like we did." Jupiter laughed.
"Yeah!" the other girls chorused.
"Well if I want my costume in the play to be authentic I'm going to have to

cut about two more inches off!!!!"
"Poor thing." I said mockingly.
"Shut up Cape boy or I'll repeat your one comment from earlier."
"I'm so scared."
"GOD! You too even act like brother and sister!" Venus commented.
"We do?" We asked at the same time.
Moon smiled and nodded. "Now can we go eat? I'm hungry."
PART 24

Friday morning I woke up with a splitting head ache. I was sweating and I
felt terrible. As I stood up to head for the bathroom I lost my balance and
got very dizzy. Before I could grab onto something for support I fell back
onto my bed. I groaned and tried to get up again. The same thing happened.
"Damn it! I'm sick." I mumbled and pulled the covers back over my head. I
heard Serena's alarm clock go off a few seconds later. She'd gotten better
about getting up when it went off. I heard her shuffling through her closet.
After a little while I herd her step into my room.
"Darien? You up?"
"Yes. Stay back."
"Why?"
"I don't want you getting sick too."
"What!?!?!? You're sick?" just great now she's worried.
"I'll be fine. Just go to school and let me get some rest."
"Well if that's what you want...." She seamed upset. I pulled the covers
down and sat up.
"Serena..."
"You look terrible!!" She ran over and sat on the bed putting a hand on my
forehead. "You're burning up!!!! I can't go to school when you're this sick.
I'll go pick up some medicine and some soup. What kind do you want?"
Knowing I wasn't going to win this battle with her I gave in and laid back
down. "Chicken noddle will be fine. But make sure one of the girls brings
your work to you."
"Ok." she said and brushed my wet bangs out of my eyes. "I'll be back. Get
some sleep."

I had just fallen asleep when the phone rang.
"Hello." I said sleepily.
"DARIEN!!!! Where are you?!??!?!??!?!" Linds screamed.
"Thank you for killing my hearing. No my head ache is worse. What do you
want Linds?"
"Where are you? You know today's our last day before the play!!! We have
to get the finishing touches just right!!!!"
"Linds I'm sorry But I feel rotten. If I wasn't so damn Dizzy I'd be
there."
"NO!! My leading man is not going to miss tomorrow's show. You get better
and you get better fast!! You hear me mister?"
"Yes Linds and trust me I don't want to miss it for the world. We've all
worked far too hard on it."
"Boy you REALLY don't sound good at all. Well rest up. I'll drop by later
to check on you."
"Ok Linds, just don't worry about it. I'll be ready for the play tomorrow."
"Alright. Bye."
"Bye." I hung up and drifted off to sleep again.

I woke up to the smell of chicken noddle soup. Let's hope it tastes as good

as it smells. Serena poked her head in the door.
"So you're up."
"Yeah." I said and propped myself up.
"Think you're up to some soup?" she asked and revealed a tray that a bowl
of hot soup was siting on.
"Yeah. I've gotta get better before tomorrow." I said taking the tray from
her.
"Well I got you some medicine too. I hope it helps."
"Well it should as long as I get some more rest. Linds is going to drop by
later. She called and flipped out at me after you left."
Serena giggled a little. "That sounds like Linds alright."
"Yeah she's worried about the play."
"Well I am too."
"You'll do great. I know you will."
"And you too. Now eat and get better. I'm going to go do some last minuet
practicing."
"Ok. I will."
"Good." she said and left the room.

I had gotten some more sleep and woke up again around five that evening. I
was feeling a lot better too. I must of just has a slight touch of the flu
or something. I decided to go down stairs and see what Serena was doing. I
found her and Linds sitting in the living room talking.
"Yeah the pictures that she said she'd send finally came. We all look so
happy in this one." Linds said handing Serena a photo.
"Your parents look perfect together."
"So you finally got some stuff about your past." I said coming into the
room.
"Cape boy shouldn't you be resting?"
"Yeah I should be, but I feel a lot better now." I sat down in one of the
chairs. "Don't worry I'm all ready for tomorrow. All I need now is a good
nights rest."
"Well I'm just glad you're better." Serena said before coming over and
checking my temperature one last time, before giving me a quick kiss. "Yep
he's better!" She finally said.
Linds couldn't hold back her laughter as she spoke. "You two are great! Oh
here Darien." she handed me the photos. "These are the photos Jan sent me."
I flipped through them growing pale as I did so.
"Darien, you ok?" Serena asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." I said in a daze. "I'll be right back. Stay put." I went
up stairs to my room and pulled out a photo album. I had every single one of
those pictures in it. This proved it. Linds wasn't just one of my best
friends, a fellow scout, and my past life's sister. She was MY sister in
THIS life. I closed the book and started to head back down stairs with it.
How was I going to say this? I'd known I had a sister, but I didn't know
what happened to her. Here she's become my friend. I was over joyed and
scared at the same time. I'd never really had a family in any way and I had
no clue what to say.
"Hey Dar, you ok?" Linds called from down stairs.
"Yeah I'm fine. I'll be down in a sec you two." I guess whatever it is I'll

say, has to be said now.

Ok there's part 24. Email me and let me know what you think.
sailor_staria@hotmail.com

Ok ok, I was joking. It's not the end yet. I just thought I'd scare you
some!! HAHAHAHHA!! Here's the rest.

I walked back into the room with my photo album under my arm.
"Linds you don't have to go looking for your brother."
"What?!?!?!?! Yes I do Darien! I need to know.... I want to know who he is,

was whatever. I need to know if he's still alive!"
"No, no, no, that's not..... not what I meant. I mean...."
"What is it Darien?" Serena asked.
"Linds.... you already know your brother." I said not knowing how else to
put it other than just saying it was me.
"I do?"
"Yes. Here." I handed her the photo album. "Linds. I freaked when I saw
those photos... because I have the same ones. I didn't know how to react I
guess. I knew that I had a sister, but I had know clue what had happened to
her..." I was spilling my guts out about what I'd known when Linds stood up
and came over and hugged me so tight that I could hardly breath. I looked at
Serena for help, but she just smiled and joined in on the hugging.

"Um... you two.. I kinda... can't get any....... air." Both finally let go
of me.
"This is great!" Serena said "who would have guessed!"
"Only thing is that both of us don't remember our parents in any way."
Linds said as a single tear ran down her face. "But now I at least know that
I've got a cool big brother, how also happens to be one of my best friends.
Jade is never going to believe this!!! I have to call Jan, Tim, and Mandy
and tell them too!!! oh I've got soooo much to do! I'll see you too tomorrow
at the play! Bye!" Linds said hugging me and Serena again and then running
out the door with us staring after her.
"Hard to believe isn't it." I said to Serena. "I mean we're so different,
and yet she's my sister."
"I think you two are more alike than you think." Serena said and sat on my
lap.
"How so?"
"Well you're both very determined, and don't like being told what to do by
others. You two don't like seeing your friends hurt, or then being
disappointed. You both don't get along with the outers." she said the last
one while trying to hold in a giggle.
I smirked at her. "Oh really. Well, they bring that last one on them
selves." and then I kissed her. After wards I continued. "But I'm glad that
since I have a sister that she is Linds. It kind of makes sense too since we
were family in the moonkingdom."
"Yeah." Serena said snuggling up to me. "And I can't wait to tell the other

scouts!!"
I just laughed at her out burst and wrapped my arms around her. "But that
can wait can't it."
"Yes it can. Come here you." She laughed and kissed me deeply.
PART 25

Serena and I arrived at the theater at noon as Linds had asked. Serena was
changing into her costume while I, already changed, was talking with Linds.
"I'm glad you're better. I know Ryoga doesn't know his lines. He's
completely lost. What a terrible understudy. I know, I know. He tries, but
still........."
"Linds?"
"Yah?"
"Shut up."
"What?!?!?!?!??!?!?"
"I'm here. Serena's here. All your lead actors and actresses are her. Stop
worrying."
"I can't help it I'm terrified!!!!!!! What if something goes wrong?"
"Then we'll work around it."
"HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM!!?!?!?!?!?!"
I noticed a woman with long green hair watching us. Green? Eh... Amy's got
blue and that Michiru's got turquoise. Why not green?
"Can we help you?" I asked her. Her face was strait yet she seamed amused.
"I'm Setsuna Meiou. I was looking for Lindsey Wolf."
"That would be me." Linds said. I saw Ms. Meiou looking at Linds's costume.
"Sorry I know this is rude but that costume's not right."
"What?" Linds asked almost in shock. "What's wrong? I knew some thing was
wrong!"
"Linds snap out of it." I said firmly.
"Oh it's nothing that noticeable to the normal eye, Tranquility, I'm sure
you realize as well that the skirt's a little too long."
"Yeah I know. It's about.... HEY!!!! Wait a minute!! How did you.....?"
"You haven't changed one bit." Ms. Meiou said.
"Who are you?" I finally asked.
"Pardon me Endymoin. I know you two don't remember me, but we really should

wait for Serenity and the other scouts. I just came by to wish you all good
luck." Ans with that she left.

"That was....." Linds started.
"Strange." I finished.
"Heeeheeheehee... so now you two are finishing each other's sentences?"
Serena giggled walking up to us. "Who was that?"
"She said her name was Setsuna Meiou." Linds said.
"I think she's someone we should watch. She knows who we are." I said still

watching the way she'd left.

It was getting close to first call and I had lost track of Serena. I
finally found her peaking out at the audience. I snuck up behind her,
wrapping my arms around her waist.
"Ah!" She yelped in surprise.
"Shhh." I said, "you don't want to draw attention to yourself just yet."
"Darien don't do that again. I'm nervous enough as it is."
"I'm sorry. Couldn't resist."
"It sure is packed tonight."
"Yeah." I looked out and saw the other scouts in the front row as well as
Mr. Stone. Samantha was a couple rows back. I wonder if Serena saw here? And
Ms. Haruna was in the same row with some of the girls in Serena's class. I
don't think there's a single empty seat out there.
"Come you two." Linds dragged us away from the curtain. "We're about to
start." A buzzer went off. "That's first call. I'm on."
"Break a leg." Serena said. Linds flashed a peace sign and took the stage.
A single spotlight fell on her.

"Long ago our moon was home to a great civilization. It lived in harmony
with the other planets in what was known as the Silver Millennium. It was
ruled by Queen Serenity, a kind and fair ruler. Matalia, an evil sprit,
gained the help Queen Beryl, from Earth, to try and over ride Serenity. So
all communications with Earth were cut off." The lights dimmed and Linds
hurried back stage. The rest of us were in place as the curtains raised.

We had made it up to seen five with out any faults. Now it was time for the

ball room seen. I got my cue and started to walk towards the fake stairs as
Serena was walking down them.
"Princess, may I have this dance?" Her face lit up and she took my hand,
gliding the rest of the way down the stairs. And we started to dance to the
faint music playing in the back ground.
"I'm so happy you came back."
"I had to. This may be our last dance together. Beryl's taken most of our
ground on Earth. I must return to help my people. She's more powerful than
we thought. I will not give up. Your mother knows I'm not a spy. If I can't
defend my world I will help to defend yours."
"But Endymoin..."
"I just want you to know I love you. And I might not come back."
"I love you too. With all my heart." We started to lean in for a kiss when
a few guards ran in.
"We're under attack." said the first. Every one exited the stage. The
curtains closed for a quick seen change and red and orange lights came on.
I was suppose to fight off some monsters but I saw a swirl of flower petals
instead. In an instant Zoicite was standing in front of me.
"Ah Prince Endymoin you look well. HAHAHHAA." She laughed.
"What do you want with this place Zoicite?!" O growled trying to make the
audience think this was a part of the play.
"This place? No, no, no Endymoin. Beryl wants the crystal and you."
"Me? Why me? and you already have the crystals."
"Frankly I don't know why she wants you. But those crystal won't from into
the silver crystal. You must some how hold the key or she wouldn't want
you."
"I don't know what you're talking about. I have no key. Leave these people
alone."
"I'm afraid I can't do that Endy. Not until I find the key to unlocking the

crystal. Beryl's very impatient and I don't want to anger any more than I
have too."
"You're all against me now."
"Who? I've always worked for Beryl."
"No! You, Kunzite, Jadeite, and Nephrite. I trusted you all as my guard.
And you fell under her spell the second I came here. You are nothing but
tatters."
"Endy I think the lights are getting to you. You don't know what you're
talking about. ZOI!!! And ice crystal flew at me. But I was able to break it
with a rose. Swift move Tux now people are going to ask were you got that!
"So you wanna play ruff Zoicite? Fine!" I dove at her with a left hook,
since my sward for the play was a fake. I had to get some help. I missed
Zoicite 'cause she moved and lost track of her. Serena was running out to
me.
"Watch out!" she yelled, but it was too late. The ice crystal dug into my
back and I screamed in pain before slumping to the ground.
"Noooooooo!!!" Serena cried and kneeled beside me. "Endymoin..."
"Serenity..... you have to keep.... fighting. Don't..... don' let them
defeat you. I know...... you can do it."
"Endymoin hang on. I won't let them hurt you any more." Serena what are you

going to do? She pulled out the moon wand and pointed it at Zoicite. A tear
ran down her face and it started to glow. I tried o get up but couldn't
move. A bright flash of light blinded me and when it faded a crystal was set
in the end of the wand. The Silver Imperial Crystal!!!!!

Very calmly Serena looked Zoicite in the eyes and said, "Cosmic Moon
Power!" a bright magenta light was sent towards Zoicite. It sent her
crashing into a wall.
Serena clasped onto her knees next to me, crying. I reached a hand up to
her face and caressed it gently.
"Don't cry my Princess. I'll be fine." and then I added so only she could
hear. "I remember everything now my love."
"Endymion....." she cried.
"Shhh.... don't worry about me. I'm going to be fine." I finally managed to

prop myself up. I looked to the back stage area. Linds was looking extremely
worried and panicky. I could tell she wanted to help but couldn't think of
how to with out giving herself away. The scouts in the front row were in the
same predicament.
"Serenity are you alright." a familiar voice said. We looked up and saw
Sailors Neptune and Uranus in front of us. They deserve a kick in the butt,
but we could use the help.
"Yes, but Endy's hurt. Zoicite attacked him." speaking of which she was
starting to stand up.
"Watch it you guys!" I warned as I slowly got on my feet.
"Endy! No you're weak!"
"Serenity I'm fine."
"You're going to hurt yourself more! Please don't!"
"No I'm not letting them take this place with out a fight."
"I told you Cape boy......" Zoicite said weakly. "...That I DON'T want this

place. I want the crystal and Beryl wants you. So you don't you just give
up."
"Never."
"Fine have it your way." Kunzite said as he appeared next to Zoicite.

Then a Purple blast of energy we thrown at us. I shoved Serena out of the
way and lost my balance. I landed hard on my left side and felt something
snap. My arm. The pain shot through me at warp speed. I heard Serena scream.
I looked up to see Kunzite grab her and vanish with Zoicite.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! SERENITY!!!!!!!!" I looked around for those two snobs
who should have been helping me watch Serena, but they where both beet up as
bad as I was. What had happened? What did I miss? What were they going to
do with my meatball head? They had wanted me not her. I needed to regain my
thoughts and my strength. But the pain was over taking my body, and blood
was seeping out of my wound on my back. The last thing I saw before blacking
out was the curtains closing very quickly.

"Darien? Darien? Come on wake up." I heard Linds saying. "Ami are you sure
he's gonna be ok?"
"Yes, but we really need to get him bandaged up. His arm's already
mending." Ami said.
"Guys, Mr. Stone's demanding to come back here." Rei said.
"Keep him out." Mina was taking charge as a good leader should. "We've
gotta get out of here and figure out what's going on."
"But the play?"
"Linds I'm sorry, but it's going to have to be canceled, even though every
out there thought this was part of the play."
"They did?"
"From what I could tell, yeah." Lita said.
"Oh....I feel like shit." I mumbled finally coming completely around.
"Thank God he's finally up." Linds said. "Darien you ok?"
"Do I look ok?"
"Ok dumb question."
"Let's move it now!" Rei said running back over to the group. "Some one
called the news stations."
"So someone thought it was real." Ami concluded.
"Come on Endymion." Uranus offered me help up and I accepted considering my

state. We all snuck out the back as fast as we could.

Later we were all crashing at Serena's and my place. Hum... I like the
sound of that, but no time to get sappy now. Neptune and Uranus were still
in scout form even in the house. I was to worried about Serena though to
care why they were even still there. On a brighter note though Neptune gave
me was herbs that would make the healing processes even faster. And
considering I already heal faster than any normal human I figured I'd be
better by tomorrow morning sometime. My arm was almost completely healed as
it was.
There was a loud knock at the door. Linds got up and answered it. She came
back into the room with Setsuna Meiou. Ms. Meiou went strait over to Neptune
and Uranus.
"You two, we can trust them. And now we must all work together to get
Princess Serenity back." The two outers nodded and untransformed. Sure
enough Michiru was Neptune. And Uranus introduced herself as Haruka Tenou, a
famous race car driver. I'm starting to feel very out numbered by the female
half of our race.

As the scouts tried to brain storm I sat there in a daze. I don't know
weather it was from worry or withdraw from my Meatball Head, but I just
couldn't stay focused. Not only was Serena in danger, but having the crystal
with her was sure to make it even more dangerous. I just couldn't help
thinking of all the terrible things they may be doing to her. I must have
really been out of it because Linds had to smack me upside the head to get
my attention.
"What!?!?!"
"I asked what you thought of the plan." Linds said.
"Plan?"
"Ami thinks we should try and find a portal to the Negaverse."
"It would be our best bet for getting Serena back home." Ami said.
"I see, hum... I think you're right. What else did you come up with?"
"Nothing good." Linds said. "I'm beat. I say we call it night. Darien try
to get some sleep ok. We're all worried about Serena. We'll get her back, I
just know we will."
"Yes, we all need our sleep. There's going to be quite a fight a head of
us." Setsuna said.

Everyone left but I still couldn't sleep. I was all alone in the house,
because Luna and Artemis were out looking for some clues. It was just as it
used to be. The silence slowly closing in on me. I wasn't going to let it
get me. I wasn't going to lose someone else I loved. Not now and never
again. I don't know when but sometime in the early morning I finally drifted
off to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning I got the paper and a cup of coffee. After
taking a drink I head the main headline and ended up spaying my coffee all
over the paper and the table. It read:
CAST MEMBERS VANISH BEFORE PLAY ENDS.
