Like that will ever come true..*sigh* I don't own the regular characters of Sailor Moon but I do own the characters that I make up in here like Par, Seij, Drew, and Eli. So please don't take them without permission! ^^;; Also, you guys know the drill with the things that I put around this story kay? * * ( ) and ************* so you guys know these things kay? Thanks to Laura who is my new proof reading editor that fixes the stuff around in my story that happens before I put this story up or else my story would be a disaster!! Now on with the story!!! ********************************** "Are we there yet?"whined Serena. "Almost there, just hang on! I know it fels weird like that with the blindfold and everything, but just hang on!"replied Par smiling as he drove the car. "Awwww...but I can't take this..oof!"said Serena and went forward as they stopped. "We're almost there now! Just a couple of minutes! Hang on,"grinned Par and went over to Serena's side of the seat to take off her seatbelt. "Now we're going to walk for awhile!"announced Par,"Here grab my arm so I can lead you." "Alright,"sighed Serena grabbing hold of Par's arm. In the distance, a figure stood watching them. *************************************** "I can't take this...I need fresh air,"sighed Darien and got off the couch to take a walk around the park. "Hey Darien! Wait up!"shouted Mina as she ran over to a depressed Darien. "Hey Mina...what's going on so far?"greeted Darien is bangs falling to his face as he turned to greet her. "Nothing much...Amy left awhile ago to watch over Serena..I think,"replied Mina thinking about Serena and Amy. "Do you think Amy can find out what's going on with..Serena?"asked Darien worriedly. "Don't worry Darien we'll find out..."comforted Mina. "I hope so..I just..I just don't know what's with her...sometimes I think that Serena doesn't care about me as before in the past nowadays,"sighed Darien. "Don't worry..I know that Serena feels about you as much as you feel about her...I just know it,"replied Mina reassuringly but inside she had her doubts. "..You're...right, Mina,"sighed Darien forcing a smile. "Great, let's go for a walk to cool you off, kay?" said Mina smiling now. "Yea..let's,"replied Darien walking beside Mina. ************************************** *There goes Serena..wait isn't that...Par? Where are they going? I need to get a closer look* said Sailor Mercury to herself and jumped to the nearest tree branch closer to the two figures. *They're going into that area....hmmm....might as well go..* Then Sailor Mercury went into the wood area and followed them in. *I wonder what they're up to. I have a feeling that this isn't going to make Darien at all happy. No..correction I know he's not going to be happy at all!* ************************** *Hmm..I feel like I'm being followed..who could it be?* thought Serena stopping, taking off her grip on Par. "Serena what is it?"asked Par when he felt Serena take off her grip from his arm. "Shh..don't you hear that?"whispered Serena as she stopped to listen. "What? I don't hear anything,"replied Par stopping to listen. "I know someone's here..following us. Just go and listen,"said Serena trying to hear any slight movement, especially toward the trees. *Oh no! Serena can feel me in her senses! ...don't panic Mercury just don't move and get closer to the trees,* assured Mercury to herself in her mind. "I still don't hear anything Sere..it's probably just the animals or something,"sighed Par. "No! I can feel it, Par. Just wait awhile..I'm not letting anyone or anything find out our secret spot!"stated Serena confidentaly and being stubborn. "Fine!..Wait a minute you knew!" a shocked Par said. "..uhmm...yea..so can I take this blindfold off now?"blushed Serena. "Yea..you might as well.."sighed Par. "Great!" said Serena and took off the blindfold,"That's better! Now let's see.." Serena scanned the area and relied on her senses. *What secret area? There's soo many questions that I want answered! What's going on with Serena?* wondered Mercury. "Come out! Whoever you are! Now!" yelled Serena. *I won't! I can't let her find out!* thought Mercury. "Fine be that way! I'll just hunt you down!" shouted Serena after a moment has passed. *She can't be that crazy! She can't turn into Sailor Moon in front of Par!* gasped Mercury inside her head as she went wide-eyed. @_@ "Serena! You can't change here! What if that "thing" finds out about you!"gasped Par. "I don't think it's a "thing" I'm thinking it's a "someone","replied Serena. *What? She told Par?!!? That Serena! o.o* *I think it's either one of the scouts or Tuxedo Mask! It has to be them, trying to spy on me...hmm...they're probably wondering if I'm going to change as Sailor Moon but they're wrong!* grinned Serena as she thought this out. Then Serena closed her eyes and thought about her dark pasts and her awful memories. As she thought of this, Par just stood making sure that he'll be there when she passes out for awhile. *I must control these memories! I must!* thought Serena as she felt the change, but didn't make it and she fainted to Par's arms. *I guess she couldn't take the power* thought Par as Serena/Serenity dropped to his awaiting arms. *What's that?!!? Serena! No it must be Serenity! I don't know! What's going on? Something different happened to her! She has a new transformation!* gasped Mercury as she saw her change. "Serena? Are you okay? Wake up!" cooed Par as he tried to wake her up. "Arghhhh...don't worry I'm okay,"groaned Serena/Serenity as she got up. "Now let me at that stalker!"stated Serena/Serenity spreading her wings out. "Do you know how to fly?"asked Par. "Of course! Remember? We flew before? Or did you forget?"replied Serena/Serenity. "Right..oops..I forgot..hehehe.."answered Par embarrased. "Sheesh...guys.."mumbled Serena/Serenity and flew off toward the trees in search for either one of the scouts or Tuxedo Mask. *She can fly! I have to get out of here before she finds out!* thought Mercury and prepared to look for an escape but found none that would result to her being found out. *Great! There's no way out! I'm going to be found out! Oh no!* "Come out! I kow it's either one of you guys! You might as well come out!"shouted Serena/Serenity as she flew to the middle checking her hearing to hear any slight movement in the trees. "Come out! Now!"yelled Serena/Serenity. *Hmm..I haven't checked there yet....*thought Serena/Serenity to herself, one of her eyebrows raising higher than the other. Serena/Serenity flew closer the area and closer. *Oh great! She's coming here! Oh no!!!* gasped Mercury looking around for any places to get to. *that's it! I'll just make a run for it or should I say jump for it?*sighed Mercury and jumped down to the nearest tree branch. "Mercury!Come back here!"shouted Serena/Serenity and flew nearer to her. "Great now I have to come after you without wings!"complained Serena/Serenity folding down her wings and jumping after her, tree branch to tree branch. "You won't get away!"shouted Serena/Serenity. *She's getting good! She hasn't even slowed down! In fact she's getting faster!*thought Mercury as she looked back. "That's it! I know you're getting tired!Hahaha!"laughed Serena/Serenity noticing Mercury's flushed face. While she jumped around catching up to Mercury she took out her flute and played a song, then she stopped after awhile. *Why did she stop?* thought Mercury and then continued on. *This should stop her! It's a sleepy song.*thought Serena/Serenity smiling. It was a soft melody that filled the air of sweetness and gentleness. It made you stop and close your eyes making you tired of the hard day that has come. *That song..*yawn*..makes me tired. I can't fall asleep..I know this is her doing...*yawn* but I can't help it..must...sleep...*yawn* thought Mercury and stopped on a tree branch and slept. Serena/Serenity stopped playing and caught up to Mercury fast asleep. *That did it! Now to carry her back* smiled Serena/Serenity and picked her up. Then she went back to Par who stood waiting. "Serena or whoever you are! Glad you're back! Who is she?"asked Par anxiously. "It's Sailor Mercury! A good friend of someone I know...she knows who I am! I can't let her go back to them! She'll tell! I know she will!"said Serena/Serenity. "Then we'll have to tell her not to,"Par said. "How?" "Wake her up, but first we should tie her down. Play something that would do that..."told Par. "Alright.."said Serena/Serenity and held up her flute and played the flute to make the trees move. The trees moved and then Serena/Serenity played it once more ordering one of the trees to hold Mercury down. "Great! Now wake her up,"told Par. Serena/Serenity played the song once more and Mercury woke up. "Hey! What? What's going on? How'd this happen!"stated Mercury. "You shouldn't have followed or else this wouldn't be happening to you,"told Serena/Serenity. "What happened to you? You look like Serena and Princess Serena or should I say Serenity?"said Mercury shocked. "I know...but I still haven't found a name for me yet..."replied Serena/Serenity. "Anyways, you should not have come Mercury! Who told you to follow me?"questioned Serena/Serenity as she stepped closer to her. "..It was the others we were worried about you...especially Darien.."whispered Mercury so Par wouldn't be able to hear. "I understand..but it's not your business anymore remember?"told Serena/Serenity. "I know and the others do to..but it's not Darien's or don't you remember?"asked Mercury still whispering. "...........I see...."replied Serena/Serenity. "You know Mercury..I can't let you tell this to the others...you have to promise me that you won't tell,"stated Serena/Serenity. "............" "Promise me! Or else..I can't let you go...you have to..."pleaded Serena/Serenity. "Alright, I won't tell anyone about this okay?"promised Mercury. "Good..now then you may go as soon as I get the tree to set you free,"said Serena/Serenity. "How? Can I return to check up on this?"asked Mercury. "Should we?"asked Serena/Serenity turning over to Par. "I suppose so.."sighed Par. "Alright then Mercury you may return but you can't tell anyone and I mean anyone or anything about this! Only you may know!"stated Serena/Serenity. "Alright.."replied Mercury. Serena/Serenity played the flute once more to order the tree to set Mercury free and then she put the flute away. "Ohhh....."Serena/Serenity fainted to the ground. "Serena!!"shouted a worried Mercury and went over to her. "Don't worry so much Mercury she just fainted from all that energy. She changed into that form. I suppose it has a lot of power in there,"replied Par. "Oh...why wont she just turn back right after then?"asked Mercury. "Well..if she does again..she'll be wasting another vast amount of energy,"repled Par. "That is hard to control...."whispered Mercury. "I wonder what we should name her....we still don't know..."told Par thinking of one. "Yes..she told me....I don't know yet...what is that flute she carries around and plays?"asked Mercury. "It's a special golden flute, it can control a lot of things..but it has it's limits as well..at least as much as I know. There's a legend that says that those kinds of flute were once played by magical warriors that protected a jewel..."told Par. "A jewel? What kind?"interrupted Mercury. "I do not know...all I know is that it was a magical jewel,"answered Par. "As I was saying there were magical warriors that protected that jewel...they were from..." "Yes..from where?"ushered Mercury, getting interested in the story. "From the...you wont believe me..."sighed Par brushing his hair back. "I'll understand. I mean here I am..a warrior that battles in a skirt!"told Mercury. "Hmm..all right they protected the jewel with their golden flute from the...moon,"told Par. "The moon?!?! That isn't possible!"gasped Mercury wide-eyed. "How come?"asked Par. "Well...here's our story..."began Mercury. "Oohhhh..my head...."said Serena/Serenity getting up. "Serena! You're awake!"Par exclaimed. "Mmm...what were you guys talking about?"asked Serena/Serenity getting up. "Par told me the story of the golden flutes where they came from...I suppose that means he's part of this...?"informed Mercury. "...yes he is...he helps me study this where do the flutes originate from?"asked Serena/Serenity wearily. "You mean he never told you yet?" "I was going to tell you later on.." "Well? Where does it come from?" "It came from the moon.."replied Par. "The moon?!?! No..that can't be..."whispered Serena/Serenity, enough for only her to hear. "Well..Mercury why is it impossible?"asked Par. "I didn't say it was impossible..just that..I never knew of this.."replied Mercury. Serena/Serenity just sat on the ground her wings folded behind her back, listening to the converstion. "Why though?"asked Par. "Well....long ago about a thousand years ago..."we" as in the scouts and I were in a place on the moon court," "Moon court?" "Yes..Moon court...we were protectors of the Silver Millenium and it was ruled by Queen Serenity, a kind beloved Queen who ruled out kindly and happily. She had a daughter named Princess Serena or Serenity who looked like her very much. We were there to protect the kingdom, its people, and especially the princess."told Mercury. "Princess Serena? That sounds like Serena's name!"gasped Par. "Hmm..yea well..anyways......as I was saying we were to protect the princess and the Queen of her silver crystal. They lived in a kingdom on the moon! That's what got me shooked up! Could it be that the jewel is referring to the silver crystal? Since the Queen is on the Moon Kingdom? With the crystal?"explained Mercury. "Hmm...I..guess but didn't you know of the warriors who protect the jewel?" "No..not at all!" "Wait a minute how..what about the thousand year ago thing? How could you live so long and yet look so young?"asked Par now realizing this. "Well..someone attacked causing us to die but the crystal brought us all to Earth to protect us..giving us a chance for peace,"sighed Mercury. "What about the princess and the Queen?"asked Par. "The princess was brought here as well..but the Queen..she died...using the crystal,"told Mercury looking down on the ground her,holding back tears. "Is the crystal here as well?"asked Par noticing that Mercury was trying not to cry. "...why do you..ask?" "I just want to know so maybe I can try it out..with my flute.."told Par. "Huh?" "Well..the legend says that the warriors can always tell which one is the jewel by the flute..I think they mean by playing a certain song they can tell which one is the real jewel from all the fake ones,"told Par. "Fake ones?" "Yes, there were lots of jewels that would look like that whenever someone tries to steal it,"told Par. "Oh....well then yes..the crystal is here,"told Mercury. "Hmm..where is it?"asked Par. "The princess carries it with her,"told Mercury. "Do you think I can ask her to show it to me? So I can give it a try?"asked Par. "I don't know....we don't know where she could be.."told Mercury. "Why? What's wrong?" "We had a fight with her and she went away.."told Mercury. "That's okay Mercury. Maybe next time.."told Par dissapointed a bit. "Thanks.."told Mercury. "....Serena? Don't you think you should get up now?"told Par. "Oh yea...hehehe.."blushed Serena/Serenity getting up. "I should get a new name..you're giving away my disguise Par..."complained Serena/Serenity. "What should it be?"asked Mercury. "........" "How about....hmm..."thought Serena/Serenity. "Well..you're like an angel, of harmony, peace, and melody..so what should it be?"told Par. "Yes..she fits those descriptions and a warrior as well with that sword of yours," Mercury agreed, nodding her head. "What about....Kaichou or Tetsu?"suggested Serena/Serenity. "Hmm...Harmony or Peace.....that's good but it doesn't sound nice when you say that to the evil lurking around,"told Mercury. "What about Enkatsu then?"suggested Serena/Serenity. "Well..I don't think so.." "Yea...I agree..." "Thought not..." "What about...." "Hey what about...Shuchou, Kyuui, or Merodi?"suggested Par. "Hmm..what if we add Kaichou in it again? It's not so bad,"told Mercury. "Mmm...." "Mmmm.." "......" "This is difficult," "Yup," *nods head* "Why don't you model the names Sere.."suggested Par. "Model it? What do you mean?" "I think what he's saying Serena is that you should try out the names..." "Oh okay.." *Positons herself on a tree branch* "Stop right there! My name's Shuchou and I won't let you get away with this! My name stands for Main Melody and with my flute I will help vanquish the evil that comes my way!" shouted "Shuchou" and flew down her wings outstretched. -_-;; -_-;; "......"*sweatdrop. "That didn't sound right.."sighed Serena/Serenity. *nods head* *agrees* *Once again postions on a tree branch* "Evil Beware! I am Kyuui and I bring peace to all! For your evil doings I am forced to fight you! So beware!" shouted "Kyuui" and flew down once more. ".....that's okay...I guess...." ".....I suppose.." "It's okay..." *Postions again* "By the flute I hold on my hand *takes out flute* I shall play it's song to defeat the evil *plays a song that just eases the pain away* for I am Merodi" she announced and flew down again. "That's nice! It's a nice entrance!" "Yup!" "I'm getting whoozy with all the flying!"whined Serena/Serenity. "Just one more!" "Yea one more!" *mumbles*"One more they say..*grrr*" *positions herself once again* "I bring the harmony out and play my song. In the wind and the rain no matter what evil has come out of the day I am of Harmony. My name says it all I am Kaichou!"announced "Kaichou" and took out her flute and played a soothing melody to ease your pain, then she flew down playing it as well. "That's nice as well!" "We have two to choose from now!" "What should it be?" "I don't know I just model it.." "Hmm..it's a tough one.." "Real toughie.." "What do you think?" "Hmm...." "I think it should be.." "What?" "I think..that best one is..." To be continued.... **************************************** HAHAHAHHA!! You have to wait for the next chapter to find out the name!! *manical laugh*
