Molly and Serena were walking to school when a tall brunette showed up. Molly recognized the girl as the same girl she met at the theme dance last week. After thinking for a moment, Molly remembered her name was Lita. In the daylight, Molly was able to get a good look at what Lita looked like.

"Hi, Lita," Serena said.

"Hey Serena," Lita said back.

When Lita caught up to Molly and Serena, Serena continued. "Lita, you know my friend Molly."

"Yeah, we met at the dance last Friday night. You had one of the most good-looking guys there. Where did you guys meet?"

"Oh...well..." Molly blushed. Serena held her breath, wondering how Molly would answer that question. "We met at a tennis tournament a little bit ago," Molly said.

"What's his name again?" Lita asked.

"Maxfield Stanton," Serena answered when Molly was blushing so much she couldn't speak.

"Maxfield...Maxfield...is that the man who runs a multi-billionaire company and is a tennis coach?" Lita asked. Molly nodded.

"We better get going to class before I get a detention again," Serena burst out and fled down the street, barely dodging the other people walking.

"Whoa, what was that all about?" Lita asked.

Molly recovered from her blush and answered, "Serena does that all the time. Usually she ends up in detention."

"Oh. Well we better get going ourselves."

"Yeah, you're right," Molly said. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a man in a business suit. She looked more closely to see he had long hair. She couldn't tell what color hair he had, since he was standing in an alleyway, but she knew who he was and smiled at him. She saw him smile in return.

"Come on Molly," Lita said, grabbing Molly's arm.

Zoycite and Malachite stood in front of the queen wondering why she had asked both of them to the throne room. Zoycite was very pleased with herself, as she was finally able to get rid her rival.

Malachite could not understand why Zoycite and Neflite were rivals. All he knew was that they hated each other. Sooner or later he would convince her to explain why she hated Neflite so much.

"Your majesty, is it true that our seven shadows were locked into seven crystals?" Zoycite asked, having enough of the silence.

"Yes, Zoycite. The Imperium Silver Crystal was split into seven rainbow crystals, which hold our seven shadows. Now the crystals are in seven humans who have no memory of their former life. Zoycite, I will entrust you with the great mission of retrieving the seven crystals. You will use this," Queen Beryl said. She threw a black crystal at Zoycite. Zoycite caught it in mid air.

Zoycite looked at the crystal. This was Neflite's. Her majesty wants me to find the crystals with this.

"This crystal is now able to home in on the crystal carriers," Beryl said.

"Yes, my queen," Zoycite said, bowing. She stood back and threw the crystal up in the air. "Star Crystal, show us the first Crystal Carrier."

A wind came up from the crystal as a picture started to form. When the image came in full view, the wind died down. It showed a man, who wore glasses.

"This man shall be the first," Zoycite said. She disappeared in a shower of cherry blossoms, looking for her target.

At the end of the school day, Serena and Molly were talking, waiting for Lita to show. Every once in a while Molly would take a quick glance around the school grounds. Serena was starting to get annoyed and decided to ask Molly what was on her mind.

"Oh, I'm sorry Serena. I was just wondering if Neflite is going to show up today," Molly said.

"Molly, from what you've told me about Neflite living in a time flux, he might not be here right now. But I assure you he will see you before the end of the day."

"I know. But I would like to see him waiting for me."

"Hey, guys," Amy said as she came up beside them.

"Hi Amy," Serena said.

"I really have to get going but I just wanted to remind you not to forget about the study session today at your place."

"Don't worry, I won't," Serena said.

Serena watched Amy leave as Molly thought to herself, Serena probably will forget, knowing her.

"Hey, Serena," Lita called from the school door.

"Hey, Lita," Serena said back.

Lita run up to Serena

Molly saw a flash of red out of the corner of her eye. She turned to see a red Ferrari pull up to the front gate of the school. Molly gasped.

"Molly, isn't that..." Serena said. The three girls watched as someone got out of the car. He turned to face the girls.

"Maxfield!" Molly shouted for joy. Without even thinking, she ran up to Neflite, not even saying good-bye to Serena. By the time Molly reached the car Neflite had his arms opened for her to run into his embrace.

As Serena and Lita watched the whole romantic scene take place Lita spoke again.

"She must sure like him and he likes her. Except for this morning, every time I've seen Molly, he's been with her."

"They do love each other. It's amazing they made it this far. I had heard bad things about him and tried to warn Molly to stay away from him. In the end she did find out that he does have some dark secrets but her love for him has made him a different man."

"You mean he has somewhat of an evil past."

"Yes. But enough about Ne--Maxfield. Do you want to see where I like to hang out a lot after school?"

"Sure," Lita said.

The two girls left just as Neflite helped Molly into the car and drove away.

* * * * * * * *

As the girls got to the Game Center Arcade, Serena started to look for Andrew and Lita asked who Andrew was. Just when Serena thought she saw Andrew, her other friends showed up.

"Serena, didn't you forget something today? Like study time?" Raye said, annoyed.

"Oh...I forgot," Serena said. Serena looked at her new friend Lita. "Lita, you know Amy and this is my other friend Raye. I forgot I was supposed to meet them after school today at my place. Raye, this is my new friend Lita."

"Yeah, Amy was telling me about her earlier," Raye said. "It's nice to meet you, Lita."

"Likewise," Lita said. "Whose cat?" she asked when she saw Luna lying on Amy's shoulder. She walked over and started to scratch Luna's head.

"Oh, she's mine," Serena said. "Her name is Luna. And it looks like she likes you."

The girls chatted some more until they heard some sort of commotion and turned to see a crowd surrounding one of the games. When the girls went over, they saw a young man with black rimmed glasses and a baseball cap, winning a bunch of stuffed toys from the machine. They heard people talking about the guy and found out his name was "Game Machine Joe".

Lita took one look at him and instantly had a crush. She breathed, "He looks like my old boyfriend."

Serena looked at her new friend and couldn't believe what she just heard. "Earth to Lita. Come in Lita."

"Huh..." Lita said, looking around. "Oh, sorry, Serena."

"I hate to say this but I have to get going," Serena said.

"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, sure." Serena took Luna off Amy's shoulder and then headed out. Raye and Amy left too, leaving Lita staring at Joe.

She watched Joe play a few more times, then he left. Lita decided to follow him to talk. As she was following him, a disturbing feeling came over her. She had the strangest feeling that Joe was in danger.

When she caught up with him, he was being attacked by a woman in a strange gray uniform. Lita jumped in between Joe and his attacker.

Serena found Lita tackling the woman. When she had left the arcade, she had an uneasy feeling about Lita and came back to try to find her.

Serena noticed the woman's uniform. "Oh no. She's from the Negaverse!"

"She must be Zoycite," Luna said. She was remembering what Neflite had told her about Zoycite. "She fits the description that Neflite gave us."

"You're right. Hang on Luna, Zoycite just ran off," Serena said.

Serena ran over to Lita. "Lita, are you ok?"

"Yeah, but...Joe!" Lita ran over to where Joe was but he just pushed her off and left. Trying to figure out what in the world that was all about, Lita followed after him and Serena followed her.

* * * * * * * *

Serena and Lita followed Joe to a nearby café. Serena convinced Lita to talk to Joe and invited her for a coffee. But then suddenly Zoycite showed again and Joe fled. Zoycite pushed Lita and dove through the window to chase after Joe. Serena saw part of the commotion and went to see if Lita was all right again. But this time Lita left, mad.

"Serena, I think you should go after her," Luna said when they got outside the restaurant.

"Why?"

"Well, for one thing, the Negaverse is after Game Machine Joe for some reason and we have to find out what that is."

"I know what it is," a voice said from behind.

Serena turned at the voice, to find herself face to face with Neflite.

"Neflite!" Serena gasped.

"I don't have much time. I was in the café with Molly when I heard the window shatter. I left Molly at our table. That warrior is Zoycite, the one I've been telling you about. I've been listening in on Beryl. They are after what is called Rainbow Crystals. Somehow, when they are combined, they become the Imperium Silver Crystal. The seven crystals have the Negaverse's seven Shadow warriors trapped inside. They are almost stronger than all us generals together. The only problem is the Rainbow Crystals are in seven humans."

"We'd better hurry," Luna said. She dashed off down the street, Serena not too far behind.

Neflite went back inside before Molly started wondering where he was. He knew he was going to tell her what the problem was anyway. When he got back to their table Molly was sitting there worried.

"Molly there's nothing to worry about. I had to talk to Sailor Moon and tell her what was going on, I mean why Zoycite was here, after that man."

"I hope he's going to be all right," she said.

"He should. Do you want to get out of here?"

"Yes. Let's go the park," she said.

"Ok. I could use some peace and quiet after what happened here."

"Maxfield. Wasn't that the same woman that tried to kill you last week?"

"Yes, Molly. She's the one who tried to kill me."

Hand in hand Molly and Neflite left the café and headed to his car to go to the park. When they got to the park, they sat under the tree where Neflite almost died and allowed themselves to calm down. Neither said a word. Neflite was calming down from his fears that Zoycite had found him and Molly from her fears of knowing how strong and cruel Zoycite could be. After a while they fell asleep in each other's arms, dreaming of the future.

Meanwhile, the stars above were watching them. They didn't want any harm come to either one of them. It was the stars that brought them together and they weren't about to let their hard work go to waste.

A while later, Neflite and Molly awoke. He knew it was time for him to leave but before he left, he took Molly home and gave her a quick kiss before heading out of her dimension.

* * * * * * * *

In another park, Lita watched in horror as Joe got turned into a monster and Zoycite laughed at her for being a fool. The monster started to attack Lita. She dodged the monster's attack. While Zoycite was laughing, Serena and Luna showed up.

Serena transformed into Sailor Moon and went to attack the monster.

"Well, well, well. The Moon brat decided to show up. I was starting to wonder if you were going to show," Zoycite mocked. Zoycite commanded the monster to attack Sailor Moon. In anger, Lita picked up the monster before he had a chance to turn his attack on Sailor Moon. When she had the monster over her head, a symbol glowed on her forehead.

"What?" Luna gasped. "She's Sailor Jupiter!"

Luna did a back flip in the air and a transformation wand appeared. Luna then ran to Lita as Lita threw the monster towards Zoycite. Zoycite easily dodged the monster coming towards her.

"Lita, here, take this!" Luna shouted as she tossed the wand towards Lita, on the ground.

"You can talk?"

"There's no time. Hold the wand in the air and shout Jupiter Power!"

"JUPITER POWER!"

When Jupiter looked at herself she was amazed.

"Lita is Sailor Jupiter?" Sailor Moon wondered. "Cool."

"SUPREME JUPITER THUNDER CRASH!"

A lighting bolt came out of her hand and hit the monster.

"Sailor Moon, he's Joe!" Jupiter yelled to Sailor Moon.

"What?! How am I to turn him back to normal?"

"With this," Luna said. She did another back flip and a crescent wand appeared. "Sailor Moon, you can use this to cure humans who have been taken over by evil powers Now shout, Moon Healing Activation."

"All right," Sailor Moon said. She positioned herself, "MOON HEALING ACTIVATION!"

In a matter of moments, Joe was back to normal.

"You scouts!" Zoycite hissed. "But I have the crystal." She disappeared in a spiral of cherry blossoms.

"Wow, Lita...I mean Sailor Jupiter. Welcome to the team," Sailor Moon said.

The two girls heard a groan and turned to see Joe starting to get up. He looked at the two girls, and then he saw Sailor Moon take Jupiter's arm and jump in the air.

* * * * * * * *

Not too far away, Sailor Moon landed a little hard on her feet.

"Ouch."

"What is going on, Sailor Moon?" a voice said.

Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter turned to see Mercury and Mars.

"Lita is a Sailor Scout, Sailor Jupiter. Lita, you know Amy and Raye. And I'm Serena."

"Wow. You guys are the Sailor Scouts? Unbelievable."

"We have a new problem," Luna said. "Zoycite, the one Neflite mentioned, is trying to get the Rainbow Crystals from seven humans. There are seven Shadow warriors trapped in the crystals. And when the Rainbow Crystals combined they will form the Imperium Silver Crystal."

"Who's Neflite?" Jupiter asked.

"He's an ex-warrior of the Negaverse. The evil we just were fighting," Sailor Mercury said.

"We saved his life, last week. He's also known as Maxfield Stanton, and that's what we call him in public," Sailor Moon said.

"You mean Molly's boyfriend used to be one of those evil people?" Jupiter asked, astonished.

"Serena, it's not your place to say anything," Mars grumbled.

"That's ok, Mars," Neflite said as he came out of the shadows.

The three girls turned in surprise.

"I watched the whole fight and Sailor Jupiter, you are good. You're good at dodging Zoycite's attacks." He smiled at Jupiter. "Molly doesn't know that her best friend is Sailor Moon and I'm not going to tell her."

"Mr. Stanton..." Jupiter started.

"Please, in private it's Neflite."

"Right. Neflite, how come you're not with the Negaverse any more?"

"Sailor Jupiter, the scouts saved my life and I don't want Molly hurt. So I'm helping you girls to fight," Neflite said. "I must go now. My time is up for today."

"Ok. Thanks, Neflite, for everything," Serena said as she detransformed from Sailor Moon. The other girls did the same.

"Like we agreed, I'm your ally." Neflite disappeared as he said his final words.

"Well girls, it's time to get going," Luna said. "We have much to do and talk about. Let's meet at the temple to discuss the next strategy."

Serena picked up Luna, and the other three girls left.

* * * * * * * *

Before Neflite left for the time flux, he made a quick stop at Molly's apartment. When he arrived, she was busy doing her homework. She felt a wave of power and knew it was Neflite.

"Hi, Neflite," she said.

"Hi. I can't stay long. But I just wanted to let you know that Sailor Moon foiled Zoycite's new plan but lost the rainbow crystal. The Negaverse now has one of the seven crystals. There is also a new scout in the group. Sailor Jupiter."

Molly stood up and ran into Neflite's open arms. "Neflite, please be careful. I love you."

"I will, and I love you," he said. He lifted her chin and gave her a quick kiss and then left.

When he was gone, the stars used their powers to put a protection over her. They knew Molly was endangered. After Neflite left, Zoycite appeared in Molly's room. She was observing Molly from one of the shadowed corners. How could the girl be so happy after watching her beloved die? She wanted to find away to ruin her life but didn't know where to start. But before Zoycite could do anything, Queen Beryl called her. Before leaving, Zoycite made a vow that she would come up with a plan to ruin the little twit's life.

Meanwhile, Molly sat on her bed, thinking about Neflite and her future. She was hoping that Neflite would help the Sailor Scouts defeat the Negaverse and he could remain on Earth. She soon dozed off, dreaming of her one true love, Neflite.
