[ P - Pre-Teen ]

004:
Darien and Serena walked along the beach
together. Serena smiled.
"I'm so glad you're back Darien, I was getting
so worried," Serena said. "After all you didn't call or
anything."
"Well I'm back now," Darien said. Serena
looked out over the water and to her shock saw
something she didn't expect, a shark fin.
"Look at that, a shark!" Serena yelled. Darien
looked at it.
"Yeah, that's a shark all right," Darien said.
"it's heading right for the beach," Serena said.
"Fortunately it can't come up onto land, so you
shouldn't worry," Darien said. Serena still back up a
few paces and Darien followed. The fin kept coming.
Then to Serena's further surprise a shark didn't emerge
from the waves, but a car with a fin on top of it. Inside
were several beautiful women.
"There you are Darien, we've been looking for
you," one of them said.
"Hey, where have you been?" Darien asked
walking up to them leaving Serena to fume behind him.
"Get in, we're going to have some fun," The
woman said.
"Hey all right," Darien said and moved to
towards the van.
"Darien! Where are you going?" Serena cried.
"Don't worry, I'll be back....eventually," Darien
said and climbed in. The car then turned around and
drove back under the water.
Then the dream ended.
Serena rose from her bed slowly and moaned.
"I'm going insane," She muttered as her alarm
went off.
"Oh no, I'll be late for school again," She
muttered. "Whoopdie doo," She added drowsily and
clambered out of bed.

"Now, the time has come to begin what I call,
the character builder," Mina's English teacher said. The
class all moaned.
"Hah. Boy you guys are so gullible." the
teacher said and laughed. "it's really nothing, everyone
will have a partner to produce a presentation of any
kind about the book you read. it's an easy assignment
if you put some effort into it. Now, choose up."
Mina was a bit nervous about making pursuing
the issue with Mike. She hoped he would make the
first move. it was her understanding that he didn't have
any good friends, and thus no competition, in the class.
"Um...Mina," Mike said.
"Yes," Mina said bubbling with excitement.
"Well..I...um...I'd ask you to be my partner,
but.."
"But?" Mina asked her hopes drooping.
"Well there's this little problem..."
"I don't understand."
They hadn't noticed the teacher had appeared next to
them.
"Are you two together?" he asked.
"I don't know," Mina said depressedly.
"Let me solve your problem. You are. There's
no one left in the class for either of you to be partners
with." the teacher said.
"Uh oh," Mike said.
"What is it?" Mina asked.
"it's not you Mina. it really isn't, but..there's
something you need to know."
"Huh?"
"I can't tell you about it here though."
"Uh..all right," Mina said unsurely.
What could this be about? Don't tell me he's
not interested in girls. That would be annoying.

Raye once again found herself distracted from
her work and fixated on the head of Rick. She was
intently studying how his hair trailed down into a
ponytail that was swung over his right shoulder.
I should get my hair done that way. She
thought. She felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned
around to see Ed, a blonde haired student. He was
holding a small paper note.
"Raye, could you give this to Rick for me?" he
asked.
"Um..well..I guess..." Raye said and took it.
"Thanks," Ed said.
She didn't know what the note said and it didn't really
mattered. What mattered now was that she had to get
that note to Rick. She waited for the teacher to turn
back to the board and speak while writing. She picked
up a small piece of paper and rolled it into a ball. With
careful aim she threw it at Rick's shoulder. It hit, but to
her disappointment it had no effect. She made a bigger
piece and prepared to throw it. The teacher continued
to drone on. She threw it across the floor. it was on
target again, but Rick showed no sign of responding.
Raye glanced up at the teacher. He was still continuing
to talk.
"Rick," she whispered. This time he heard and
he turned towards her. She reached out with the note
with her left hand and motioned to Ed with the right to
signal who it was from. He nodded and reached out to
take it. As his hand took hold of it they both heard a
stern voice at the front of the room call to them.
"Rick, Raye...I doubt that's relevant to class.
You know what though. Since we're all in a spirit of
note passing. Let me pass you two a note," The
teacher said. He scribbled down something on two
piece of papers and handed one to each of them.
It read; DETENTION.
"Slick move Raye. Do you plan on getting me
into trouble," Rick said angrily.
"Jerk," Raye snapped. I don't have to settle for
you. She thought. it only took her two minutes to
become fixated on his hair again.

"And now for the test," Serena's math teacher
said.
"I've studied, but I fell asleep, I can't be ready
for this," Serena said.
The paper hit her desk and she tensed and then
glanced at it as the sweat began to form.
Wait a minute....hey..this is easy. She thought.


As the two walked towards their table they saw
their three friends waiting there. Raye had a huge
scowl on her face. Mina looked depressed, and
Serena was asleep.
"Uh oh," Amy said.
"Looks like we've got another happy bunch
here," Lita said.
"Hmph," Raye replied.
"So what's eating you Raye?" Lita asked.
"I tried to help Rick out again today, but he
wouldn't let me and in the end we both ended up with a
detention. What a jerk. Here I am. The perfect girl
for him and he doesn't even give me a chance." Raye
said.
"I suggest you let him go Raye," Lita said.

"You should talk," Amy muttered.
"What?" Lita snapped.
"Nothing," Amy said.
"If he doesn't see anything in you there's no
point in trying," Lita continued.
"He just needs to get to know me better that's
all. But, I'm not going to bother right now. If he
doesn't shape up he could lose his only opportunity to
get me."
The three other girls sighed at Raye's
arrogance.
"I've got my own problem," Mina said. "You
know that cute guy I told you I met. Mike?"
The others nodded.
"We were getting along great, but today we
were choosing partners for a project and he was afraid
to. We're going to work together on it anyway, but
there's some secret he's going to tell me. He was really
nervous about it."
"Do you think he's..." Raye said.
"No!" Mina yelled back. "That's what worries
me. What could be so horrible that he's nervous about
working on a project with me?"
"I guess you'll find out," Amy said.
"You're no help," Mina muttered.
"Sorry. You're the ones who spend all your
time flirting with guys that you have a slim to none
chance of going out with," Amy muttered. The three
others all glared at her.
"What do you mean?" They said.
"Uh...nothing," Amy said.
"Wait a minute Amy. Are you saying we don't
have a chance to get with these guys?" Raye said.
"I didn't say that," Amy said.
"Sure you did," Mina said.
"Well let me put it this way. Raye spent that
time trying to get involved with Darien."
"So what? Serena did," Raye said.
"That was a longshot," Amy said.
"Hey!" Serena cried waking up.
"Go on," Lita said.
"Lita and Serena both were interested in
Andrew even when he had a girlfriend," Amy said.
"There's nothing wrong with flirting," Lita said.
"Now Mina, Lita, and Raye, you all have
crushes on guys, but you're afraid to ask them out. The
best you can do is get them thrown into detention.
That's not a way to a man's heart. I know that for
certain. Maybe you do have a chance with these guys,
but you're going to have to change your strategy," Amy
said.
"Well..thanks for that advice," Raye said
snidely.
"Actually...when you think about it. Amy is the
only one who's kept a steady boyfriend," Mina said.
"Hey! Greg's just a friend!" Amy shouted.
"Whatever!" The other four girls replied.
"Serena. Why were you asleep?" Lita said.
"Well I had a rough night, and I didn't sleep
well and that test I took today was exhausting. These
dreams I've been having have been troublesome, I just
had another one," Serena said.
"Dreams?" The other four asked.
"They're so weird. Darien's in all of them, but
he's not...Darien..things just get out of hand, like in this
one he was selling insurance, but...he we didn't need
any because we were the only two people left in a
post-apocalyptic horror, and..the ice cream melted
too," Serena said. The other four's eyes widened.
"You're just thinking about him that's all," Amy
said trying to figure it out.
"I don't know, I can't help thinking something's
wrong," Serena said worriedly.
"You guys should be more upbeat and not let
your imaginations run wild. I mean I've got my own
crush, but I'm not going insane," Lita said.
Some would beg to differ. Amy thought.
"Whoopdy doo," Raye said.
"Darien still hasn't called too," Serena said
bluntly.
"Hmm...that's not good," Raye said.
"Obviously," Serena said.
"Maybe it's just taken him some time to settle
in," Mina said.
"I better have," Serena said.
"Oh...Serena..are you going to do that English
assignment tonight?" Amy asked.
"I guess I should," Serena said.
"Don't worry, I'll help you. We'll make a good
student out of you yet," Amy said.
"There's another losing cause," Raye said.
"Anything's possible," Amy replied.

Later that day, Mike and Mina left school at
about the same time.
"Hey, Mike," Mina said.
"Oh, hi, Mina," Mike said.
"So what's the plan?"
"Plan?"
"For the project."
"Oh, that. I guess we should meet somewhere
to discuss it."
"I wouldn't suggest my house. My parents can
be a bit nosy," Mina said.
"I wouldn't suggest my house either. Um, it's
being renovated," Mike said.
"Oh...okay. Where then? The park or
something?"
"No! That's too high profile," Mike said
nervously.
"What do you mean? Are you afraid of being
seen with me?" Mina said with indignation.
"No, no. it's just that she can't see us."
"Who?" Mina said in surprise. Don't tell me he
has an insane girlfriend. She thought.
"I know just the place," Mike said.

A few minutes later the two had arrived at a
small restaurant. They walked in and sat down. The
place was definitely traditional, ornaments of Japan's
past were over the place. Ceremonial swords sat next
to every table and colorful pictures lined the walls.
"My friend, Rick's father owns this place. We'll
be safe here," Mike said.
"Safe from what?" Mina asked.
"My sister."
"Your sister?"
"Yeah. You see Mina, the reason I've been
acting so weirdly is that I'm scared. My sister, Lara, is
a bit of a nutcase. For some reason, I think it's
jealousy. She can't stand me being with another girl for
any reason. At school she can't do anything about it,
but if she saw us together anywhere else. Well it
wouldn't be pretty. She thinks I'm with my friends, but
if she didn't she'd scour the city looking for me. I mean
I have to pass all my activities through her."
Why does the boy I like have to have a catch?
Mina thought and frowned.
"Don't your parents do anything about it?" Mina
asked.
"They have no clue it's going on and frankly
they wouldn't believe me if I told them. So I've been
trying to keep low key."
"I'd assume confronting her is out of the
question."
"I wouldn't dare."
"Well then I guess we'll have to work on this
project in secret. Are you sure this is safe?"
"I hope it is. She doesn't know this place exists
and it's sort of out of the way."
"All right. So let's plan this thing."
"Okay, so what's the project about again?"
Mike asked.
"That book we read, about the guy and all the
trouble he went through to earn his true love's heart,"
Mina said dreamily recalling a book she loved to read
because of it's romantic content. Mike sat there and
watched the spectacle skeptically.
"Right, that book, the boring story of a guy
doing all the wrong things in his pursuit of a woman
who wasn't worth it," Mike said.
"What are you talking about?" Mina asked.
"The book," Mike said.
"Oh come on, didn't you find it enjoyable."
"Not in the least, though that County Sheriff
was a nice touch."
"The Sheriff put the guy in jail and kept him
away from his true love."
"Exactly. He was cool," Mike.
"You have no appreciation for good literature,"
Mina muttered.
"Ehh..." Mike said. What is with these girls
anyway? He thought.

Raye sat in detention quietly studying the
various things that were attached to the wall in an
attempt to avoid staring at Rick as he fiddled with his
fingers at the front of the room. At the sight of a poster
of a cartoon monkey juggling some textbooks with the
caption.."don't monkey around with your studies," she
lost her nerve. Her eyes became fixed on the dark
haired boy once again.
You know Raye. Maybe this is the time to
break the ice. She thought to herself. Could it hurt?
Probably, but when was I one to show much common
sense? She paused for a minute. What an odd thing
for me to think. Is that my conscience talking? Oh...I
hope not.
"Hey Rick," Raye said. Rick slowly turned his
head around to look at her.
"What is it? Have another way to get me into
trouble?"
"No you jerk," she snapped. "Haven't you ever
had a girl attracted to you before!" She screamed
letting emotion overcome all her mental boundaries.
"What?" Rick said in surprise. He had not
expected such bluntness from her.
"That's right," Raye said. "I'm not trying to get
you into trouble, I'm just..."
"Just what?"
"I'm just a girl..and you're a guy...and well...."
"So you're strategy so far to get me to like you
has been to get me thrown in detention?"
"No! I told you I didn't mean to. It was an
accident. It's just I think you're..." she tried to come up
with the right words.
"Romantic, handsome, god on earth?" Rick
volunteered with a grin.
"Take your pick," Raye said.
"Well that's nice and all Raye. I appreciate it
really, but come on, all you've been is trouble from the
start, and from what I hear and see, you don't have
much of a temper either. The last thing I need is a hot
head as my girlfriend."
"I am not a hothead!" Raye yelled predictably.
"Heh...whatever you say," Rick said and turned
away.
Raye just stared at him, the anger boiling inside of her.
"Toying with a girl's emotions is a capital
offense!" she yelled and rushed forward. She grabbed
Rick's pony tail and dragged him out of his seat. With
a mighty heave she flung him towards the wall. He let
out a brief yell before slamming into it and collapsed to
the ground.
"Oooops," She said realizing that her use of
force was a bit extreme. Rick picked himself off of the
ground slowly.
"Can I sit back down...." he gasped. Raye
nodded and actually found herself smiling at seeing him
in heap. Rick crawled back to his seat and sat down
breathing heavily.
Hmm...she may be all right after all. He
thought. Raye merely sat down and tried to think about
other things.

"I'm home!" Serena yelled swinging the door
open. It slammed into the wall and knocked a plant
onto the ground shattering the pot and spraying dirt all
over her shoes.
"Drat," she said.
"Oh...Serena, when are you going to stop being
so mean to potted plants," her mother said emerging
from the kitchen. "They have feelings too."
"Heh...heh..any calls while I was out?" Serena
asked.
"No," her mother said.
"None huh..I wonder why he hasn't called yet,"
Serena muttered.
"Who's he?" her mother asked. Serena hadn't
exactly told her parents she was involved in a
relationship. Her father didn't exactly approve.
"Oh..he...he's just this homework help line guy,"
Serena said.
"It's good to see you're finally taking control of
your studies," her mother said.
"Mom! The phones dead!" came a cry from
another room. it was Sammy, Serena's brother.
"What do you mean the phone's dead?" her
mother asked.
"I was talking to Nina then it just cut off," he
said.
"That won't help your relationship with her will
it. Has she forgiven you for that bit with the roses?"
Serena asked.
"I didn't know there was a hornet in them!"
Sammy cried.
"Serena, stop it," her mother said and picked
up the phone. "You're right it's dead. Check the other
one's in the house."
A quick check proved that all of them were
dead.
"You mean we can't get any phone calls!"
Serena said hysterically.
"Calm down Serena!" Her mother snapped.
"I need a phone!" Serena screamed. The door
opened and Serena's father walked in.
"I'm home early," he said.
"Dad the phone's don't work!" Serena yelled.
"The phone lines are down a block from here.
That would explain it," her father said calmly.
"Well when are they going to fix them!" Serena
yelled.
"I don't know," her father said. "What's the
problem?"
"Uh...nothing," Serena said.
"It's just a homework help line person she was
expecting a call from," her mother said.
"Homework help line?" her father said and
paused. You're seeing a guy aren't you!" he shouted.
"No!" Serena yelled.
"Hah..I don't have anything on you yet, but
when I do!" her father said and stormed off.
"Mom can't you call the phone company and
get them to fix this?" Serena asked.
"Serena. Think about what you just said," her
mom said.
"Oh...right," Serena said realizing her stupidity.
"Well can't we go down there and ask them to fix it."
"The phone company's busy Serena, they'll do
it when they can," her mom said and walked out.
"We'll see about that," Serena said and walked
out the door.

Serena raced down the street towards the
phone company's main headquarters.
If my phone doesn't work Darien can't call me.
If Darien can't call me, he'll think I'm seeing someone
else or something, then he'll start seeing someone else,
then it''ll be over. She thought as she finally reached
company HQ. She walked up to the front desk where
a burly security guard sat.
"I have a complaint, where do I go?" Serena
asked.
"Oh..you mean customer relations, down the
hall take a left. Second door on your right. What's
your problem anyway?" The guard asked.
"Someone knocked over a telephone pole near
my house and no one has fixed it," Serena said.
"Join the club. We've had a couple hundred
people in here complaining about that from all over the
city. Don't be surprised if you have to wait in line a
while. I sent a group of twenty people up there five
minutes ago."
"I see. Thank you," Serena said and hurried
down the hallway. When she arrived at Customer
Relations she was surprised to see the room deserted
except for a large counter.
Where is everyone? If there are telephone
poles getting knocked down all over the place
wouldn't they have people here?
She began to get nervous.
"Can I help you?" A deep female voice asked
as a woman emerged from a back room.
"Yeah. A telephone pole got knocked down
and my phones are out. I want it fixed," Serena said.
"Do you?" the person asked.
"Yeah."
"Well it's going to take a few days."
"A few days! No! I need it now."
"I'm sorry but it will be a few days. Now if
you'll excuse me I'm very busy."
"No I won't! I want my poles fixed and I want
it done now!" Serena yelled.
"That's it. Get angry." The woman muttered to
herself.
"All right, if you come into the back room here,
I'll see if I can do something about it," The woman said.
"Good," Serena said and followed the woman
into the room. it was a bleak room with only a single
chair.
"Wait a minute!" Serena yelled and instinctively
ducked. A red energy blast flew over her head and
slammed into the wall. She rolled around in time to see
the woman morph into a she-devilish creature with red
skin and long blonde hair.
"The negaverse! it figures!" Serena yelled.
"So....you want to do it the hard way!" The
creature yelled and sent another bolt flying at her.
Serena rolled out of the way.
"You repulsive human scum!" the creature
screamed.
"What's your problem?" Serena asked.
"Hmm..interesting question isn't it? Well I'll tell
you since you're not going anywhere," The creature
said. "You see, the negaverse is really a male's only
club."
"What?" Serena asked.
"Yes, it's true. Queen Beryl was the exception,
the rest of us are just a bunch of drones serving our
male masters. Do you know how degrading that is?"
"Um...no," Serena said.
"Stupid human," the creature said. "What do
you know? How can you understand...the pain..."
The creature buried it's head in its hands and
began to weep.
This is strange. Serena thought.
"Oh..why do I even bother?" the creature said.
"Even if this does work I'll just go back to being second
fiddle to some other joker. I've spent the whole day
sapping people of energy and for what? I mean
really?"
Serena found this scene almost touching, but
she also knew that this creature had attacked her and
would probably attack others. She didn't hesitate
pulling out her compact.
"Moon Crystal Power!" She yelled. In seconds
she had transformed. The creature looked up in shock
to see Sailor Moon standing there.
"You're all I need," the creature muttered and
didn't move a muscle.
"Are you just giving up or what?" Sailor Moon
asked in a baffled tone.
"You know what..." the creature said and
paused. "NO!" it shouted and leapt at her. Sailor
Moon was slammed into the wall with such force that
the both of them flew through it and into a store room.
"Woah...phone central," Sailor Moon said
looking at the stacks of telephones lining the room.
"Hah! I'll show you!" the creature yelled and
blasted a shelf. it began to collapse. Sailor Moon
dashed down the aisle and barely missed the crash.
She still was showered with phones as she dived out of
the way though.
"Reach out and crush someone," The creature
muttered picking itself out of the debris.
"Do you have to use the dumb slogans? I hate
it when villains do that," Sailor Moon said.
"Hmm...well..I'll tell you what? I'll just destroy
you and then it won't be a problem," The creature said.
"What's with the personality change all the
sudden?" Sailor Moon asked.
"I'm a complex creature!" the creature yelled
shooting two bolts of energy at the heroine. She leapt
into the air and landed on top of a shelf.
What am I doing up here? Sailor Moon
thought.
"Dumb move!" The creature yelled and blasted
the shelf. it began to sway. Sailor Moon yelled and
jumped off of it onto another shelf before it fell. The
creature scowled and jumped up onto a shelf itself.
"Now you're in for it!" The creature yelled
staring at Sailor Moon.
Maybe I should call for help. The heroine
thought.
"Yahhh!" the creature yelled and leapt through
the air towards her. Sailor Moon let out a scream and
then on impulse ducked. The creature flew over her
head and hit the far wall. Crumpling to the ground and
out of sight.
"Hah!" Sailor Moon yelled when the creature
didn't appear a whole minute later.
"Hah yourself!" The creature yelled leaping into
the air directly in front of her.
"Go away!" Sailor Moon yelled and kicked out
with her right foot. The blow connected and the
creature fell down onto the floor again. Sailor Moon
smiled, before beginning to lose her balance. She fell
forward and landed right on the creature's damaged
figure. The creature threw her off quickly.
There's not much room in here anymore. But
what am I going to do alone? Wait a minute. I can use
my Tiara. Why didn't I think of it before? Sailor Moon
thought. She dashed through the hole in the wall and
through the door into the next room. She was
surprised to see the wall to her left floating wispily in the
air.
It isn't real. She thought. She could make out
behind it the unconscious forms of several people.
That's where's she been storing her victims.
Sailor Moon thought.
"Come, and fight me you jerk!" she heard a cry
from the store room.
"Uh oh," Sailor Moon said and dashed out into
customer relations and out into the hall. To her shock
the creature exploded through the store room wall.
"Hah!" She yelled.
"I've had enough of you!" Sailor Moon yelled
and charged forward. She threw a strong right. it
connected knocking the phone creature to the ground.
"Wow," Sailor Moon said confidently until she
felt her legs fall out from under her as the phone
creature tripped her. The heroine crawled backwards
away from her foe. The phone creature hopped up
quickly and a sinister red aura formed around her body.
"Now I'm mad!" the creature yelled. Sailor
Moon in fear couldn't stand, but backed away down
the hall. The creature followed slowly.
"You will not go unpunished," the creature said.

This isn't going to work. Sailor Moon thought
and pulled off her tiara.
"Moon Tiara Magic!" She yelled. The golden
disk flew at the creature and bounced off it's shoulder
aura.
"How dare you!" The creature yelled and let it's
attack go with a fury. A red misty wave flew down the
hall ripping the wallpaper from the wall. Sailor Moon
screamed. The creature laughed before the tiara disk
hit on it's return trip slamming into the creature's back.
The phone creature yelled. Sailor Moon rolled into a
nearby doorway and the wave slammed into the
stairway at the end of the hall. A crowd began to
gather. Sailor Moon quickly stood up and prepared to
face her foe no in agony from the disk embedded in her
back.
"Woah..that can't be comfortable," Sailor
Moon said appearing out of the doorway.
"This is not over," The phone creature yelled
staring down her enemy.
"Moon Scepter Elimination!" Sailor Moon
screamed brandishing her weapon.
"Not the prettiest battle I've fought, but hey..I
won," Sailor Moon said with a smile as the crowd
behind her began to clap.

"Well Artemis, we know what we have to do
now," Luna said as the two cats stood up on the roof of
Serena's house.
"Yeah...business is going to pick up around her
real soon and we need to be prepared," Artemis said.
"Do you think they'll be able to handle it?"
"Well we've seen that they can do it haven't
we? That's why we haven't been around these past
few days right?"
"Right. Serena's got her tiara power back
which means she can fight if she needs to and the others
are always ready."
"You're right. So when do we tell the scouts
we're leaving?"
