Sailor Moon World Chapter 3 "Serena," said Tuxedo Mask, "I…I don't…love you." He took one final look at the teary eyed Sailor Moon before jumping away. Sailor Moon fell to her knees and cried into her hands. "Darien," cried Sailor Moon, "don't leave me." The other scouts and Reenie ran to Sailor Moon and knelt down next to her to try to calm her down. "Hey, Serena," said Sailor Venus, "how about we go get some ice cream." Sailor Moon's tears suddenly dried up and she nodded her head. "Come on," said Sailor Jupiter. She helped Sailor Moon get onto her feet and they all de-transformed once they were sure there were no people around. They walked to the ice cream shop and were thinking about what to order. "I'll have a triple hot fudge sundae with cookie doe ice cream and extra hot fudge and whipped cream," said Serena enthusiastically. "I'll have the same thing please," said Reenie. The other girls giggled at how much the two girls were alike. "We'll all have vanilla shakes," said Mina. Once they all got their desserts, they sat down at a booth in the corner. They talked about boys and scout business. Amy brought up Monday's test, the subject that they all dropped. While they were talking, a boy walked in. He had jet-black hair just like Darien. He was also shorter and appeared to be younger. He was wearing a black T-shirt and dark blue jeans. "What a hunk," said Raye. "You can say that again, as many times as you want," said Mina. "He's so dreamy. He looks just like…" "My old boyfriend," finished the other girls. "He's handsome," said Amy. The other girls giggled. They never heard Amy comment on a guy before. "He looks just like Darien," said Serena, tears streaming down her face. Lita caressed her shoulder, making her calm down. The guy sat down at a table across from them. "I think I'll give him some company," said Lita. The other girls tried to stop her but found out there's no hope in trying. The guy sighed as he saw the girl coming towards him. He had enough of the girls going all over him. "Hi," said Lita, "You mind if I sit down?" The guy shook his head and Lita sat down across from him. "Hi," said Lita, "My name's Lita. Are you new here? I never saw you before." The guy nodded his head. "What's your name," asked Lita. "My name's Troy. I just moved here from America." "Really?" "Yeah. I used to live in Tokyo, but we moved to America because my father found a job there." "Wow! Do you like America better?" "It's a lot like here. I moved there when I was pretty young, so I don't remember here that good. I just got to get used to it." "If you want to ever see around Tokyo, I can show you around." "That'll be cool. How about tomorrow?" "Tomorrow's fine. Meet me here at twelve." "Twelve it is," said Troy. He got up and held his hand out towards Lita. "Nice meeting you Lita." Lita shook his hand, "Nice meeting you, Troy. Remember, tomorrow at twelve." "Okay," answered Troy, "bye!" "See ya!" Troy walked out of the store and started going home. "I think I might like that girl," he said before turning the corner. Lita excitedly ran back to her table. The girls were all staring at her with dreamy eyes. "We heard the whole thing," said Mina, "You're so lucky." "You, of all people are going out with one of the cutest guys I ever saw," said Raye, "Way to go girl." "Good for you, Lita," said Amy. "You're so lucky," said Serena. She looked up at the clock, "TEN O'CLOCK? MOM'S GONNA KILL ME! Come on, Reenie, we're outta here." Serena grabbed Reenie's arm and said goodnight to all her friends. Her and Reenie ran out of the store and towards her house. She opened the door, both her and Reenie panting for breath and sneaked upstairs. "Not so fast guys," said an angry voice only a mother can do, "Where were you guys? It's after ten you know. You know that you have the be home by nine." Serena and Reenie paused in thought, "We, uh,we went to the movies and then we went to the mall to look around." "Yeah," said Reenie, "Then we went to get some ice cream." "We looked up at the clock and saw it was ten, so we ran out as fast as we can. I'm sorry mom. Please, oh please forgive me?" Ellen stood in thought for a moment before saying, "Well, okay I guess. It's not a school day." "You're the best mom," said Serena, who hugged her mom. "You're the best, Aunt Ellen," said Reenie, who hugged Ellen's leg. "I love you guys too. Now go to bed." "Yes mother," said Serena. She put her head down and walked up to her room. "Yes Aunt Ellen," said Reenie. She put her head down and walked up to her and Serena's room. "They're so much alike," said Ellen before she walked away. Serena got into her pink bunny pajamas and Reenie got in her blue ones. They both climbed into the bed after saying goodnight to Luna. Serena closed her eyes and started falling asleep until she felt something tapping her shoulder. She quickly opened her eyes and turned around to find Reenie looking at her. "What is it, Reenie," asked Serena. "I want to know why you gave that guy the crystal today. If it weren't for the other scouts, he could have won." "I was scared for you, Reenie. He would have killed you if I didn't give him the crystal. I…love you, Reenie," said Serena. She kissed Reenie on the forehead. Reenie giggled and kissed her cheek back. "I love you too, Serena." Serena smiled down at Reenie before saying, "Come on, let's get some rest. Goodnight munchkin." "Goodnight Serena," answered Reenie. They both closed their eyes and fell to sleep. *** The next day, Serena woke up at eleven o'clock and walked up to the temple with Reenie. On the way there, they saw Darien walking down the street. He walked up to Reenie. "Hey Reenie," said Darien who grabbed Reenie's arm, "how's it going?" Reenie gave Darien a nasty look and pulled her arm away. "Let's go," said Reenie to Serena. They both started walking up the hill again. Serena and Reenie never looked back to Darien. Darien stood stunned that Reenie would do that to him. He turned around and started walking back to his lonely apartment, a tear freely falling down his face. Serena and Reenie got up to the temple entrance, still holding hands. Serena knocked on the door. It was answered shortly by Raye. "Hey Serena," she said, "Why are you here?" "I want to spy on Lita today." A big grin formed on Raye's face, "You too?" Raye moved out of the way so Serena can see Mina and Amy sitting down. "Hey Serena," said both Amy and Mina. "Hey guys," answered both Reenie and Serena. Serena was surprised that Amy would want to spy on Lita. Serena and Reenie walked into the temple and took a seat on the couch next to the two girls. Raye closed the temple door and sat on the couch across from them. "So," said Mina, "How should we do this?" "I was thinking," said Raye, "that we should all have a different position to spy on them, and then meet up at a certain place." Serena looked really confused. She had no idea what Raye was just talking about. "Uh, what do you mean, Raye?" Raye flashed her an angry look before saying, "I mean we can all spy from a different place that we know they will go. Like someone can get the arcade, someone can get the park, you know." "How will we keep contact with each other?" "Simple," answered Raye in a know it all type of tone, "we can use our communicators." "Our communicators," asked Amy, "those are for scout business only." "Oh, come on Aims," said Mina, "this will be fun." "No way, Mina. This just isn't right. It's wrong to spy on someone." "You didn't say that that time when Serena went out with Darien," said Mina. Serena was steaming after hearing that. The four other girls giggled. "Well," asked Mina, "Are you going?" "I guess so. I have nothing else to do…" "Great," said Mina, "Let's get going!" The four girls got up and walked out the temple door. It was almost twelve, so they hurried up towards the arcade. When they got inside, they all said hi to Andrew before sitting down at a table. "Here's our plan," said Raye, "Serena and Reenie will stay in here. You tell us when you see them. Tell us everything they do and possibly what they say. After they leave, meet me at the park. You, Amy, will stay on guard at the library. They will most likely check out there next. When you see them, tell me everything and then meet us at the park when they leave. Mina…they will probably go to the park next. You hang out at the phone booth on the way there. Tell me everything that goes on before meeting the rest of us at the park. When you're all at the park, I will give you all different positions around the park. You get what I'm saying," said Raye with her eyes on Serena. The other girls all nodded their heads. "Good! It's twelve, so let's take our positions. See you at the park." After Raye's orders, the girls all left the arcade. Amy went to the library and found a book to pretend to read at the table. Raye went to a bench in the park. Serena and Reenie stayed in the arcade. They found a game to play, but were ready for when the couple walks in. After playing for about five minutes, Reenie points out the two walking into the arcade. Serena makes herself all ears for the couple. "Do you like video games, Troy," asked Lita. "I love them," answered Troy. "Cool, me too. Let me introduce you to one of my friends." Lita led Troy to the front counter, "Hey Andrew," called Lita, "get over here. I want you to meet someone." Andrew walked over to them. "His name is Troy. He just moved back here from America. Troy, Andrew…Andrew, Troy." "Hi Andrew," said Troy, holding out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Troy," answered Andrew who politely shook his hand. After talking for about five minutes, Lita started telling him that they had to leave. "Bye Andrew," said Troy, "I have to go now, so talk to you later." "Good seeing you, Troy." Lita and Troy left the arcade. Serena turned on her communicator and told them everything that happened, and that they're probably heading for the Library now. She turned off her communicator, and she left the arcade with Reenie and they ran towards the park. *** After receiving the call on her communicator, Amy continues reading her book, yet still keeping an eye out for her target. When she sees them walk in, she pulls out her notepad, jotting down everything that happens. "Do you like reading," asked Lita. "Yeah," answered Troy, "I love reading." "Oh me too. Whenever there's nothing to do, I can always depend on a good book." Amy silently giggles after Lita says that. 'Lita? Reading? I never heard that one before,' thinks Amy as she jots it down. Troy goes around the Library, pointing out really good books that he's read. For almost every one, Lita comments on how good it was. 'Maybe you should start reading them,' thinks Amy, 'Maybe you can mean it when you say that.' "See that book over there," asked Troy. "That was a really good book," answered Lita. 'What do you mean really good book,' thinks Amy, 'That was the worst book I've ever read.' "Really? I thought it stunk," said Troy. Amy silently giggles, 'I should be the one showing this guy around.' "Oh, that book," Lita laughs in embarrassment, "I thought that was another book." "Well, I'll come back here later. Why don't you show me some other places," said Troy. "Okay! Let's go to the park." The two of them leave the Library. Amy turns on her communicator. "Hey guys, it's Amy. They just left the Library and listen to this. When he told her that he loves to read, she said that she does too and that she reads all the time." "No way," said the other girls. "And listen to this. Every book that he pointed out she commented on." "I never thought that she would go that far to get a guy," said Serena. "But listen to this. He pointed out a book and she commented on how good the book was, then he told her that he thought it stunk." The other girls burst out into laughter. "She said that she's on the way to the park now, so be ready for them." "Got ya," said the other girls before they turned off their communicators. *** Mina was leaning against the phone booth waiting for the couple to come. She just got the message from Amy saying that they will be arriving soon, so she put herself on watch. Then she spotted them down the block. She leaned against the back of the phone booth waiting for them to pass by. "Hey, Lita," said Troy. "Yeah?" "Can we check around here?" "The antique store?" "Yeah, just for a second." "Okay," said Lita. They both walked into the antique store across from the phone booth. Mina turned on her communicator, "Hey guys," she said, "They just walked into the antique store. I'm going to go check it out." "Be careful," said Raye. "I will," answered Mina. She turned off her communicator and sneaked into the store without being spotted by Lita. When she got inside, she hid behind a shelf. She heard the two talking on the other side. "What are you looking at," asked Lita. "I'm looking at the falcon statues. I really like falcons. I think that they are a symbol of strength." He stares at the figure for a little while longer, "Well, let's get going." Lita nods her head and they both leave the store. Mina pulls out her communicator, "Hey guys! Not much happened here, but they're heading for you guys now. See you in a sec. Bye!" She turns her communicator off and run out of the store and towards the park. *** Raye, Amy, Serena, and Amy are all sitting down at the park. They're sitting on two benches next to each other. Raye and Amy are on one bench, Serena and Reenie are on the other. "Hey guys," said Mina. The other girls turn around, "Hey Mina," they all say. They're all looking out at the street, waiting for Lita and Troy to come. "Hey," said Mina, "There they are." Lita and Troy turn the corner and are walking towards the park. Raye stands up, "Okay, here's how we're doing it. Serena, you stay hidden behind that tree over there. You, Reenie, will hide behind the tree near the other bench. If they sit down on one of these benches, you want to know what they're saying," Raye turns towards Amy, "Amy, you stay around the gazebo over there. That was always Lita's favorite spot and there's a chance that they'll sit there. Mina and me will walk around pretending to be in a conversation, but really staying near those two so we can hear them. Everybody hurry up and take your positions before they see us." Serena found a big tree near the left bench and quickly ran to it. She hid behind it, maneuvering herself around the trunk so that Lita can't see her if she walks by. Reenie quickly ran to the largest tree closest to the right bench and made sure that Lita wouldn't see her. Amy runs towards the gazebo and walks near it with a book, pretending to be reading. She stays close enough to the gazebo that if the two sit there and talk, she could probably hear them. Raye and Mina walked side by side through the park, trying to stay as close as possible to Lita and Troy without being seen, but if they are, Lita will just think that they're talking to each other in the park while taking a stroll. The plan was perfect. Everybody was at their positions and waiting for the couple to enter the park. Lita and Troy walk into the park. Troy looks around at the beautiful surroundings. He sees the beautiful lake far in front of him, the sunlight glimmering off the surface. He looks to his right and sees an area of tables for people to relax and eat at. Couples and small families occupy some of the tables. Behind that, he sees a beautiful stone gazebo. People are sitting down, relaxing in its shade. Lita gives him a tug on the arm and they walk forward towards the lake. "It's so beautiful here," said Troy. "I know! I come here all the time. It's a nice place to relax and just get your mind off of things." Troy just stood and admired the park's beauty with wide eyes. They get up to the benches and sat down on the left one. They just stared out at the vast lake for awhile until Lita broke the silence. "I'm having a really good time today, Troy." Serena almost giggled out loud after Lita said that. 'Well there she goes,' thinks Serena, 'Hitting on him…again.' Lita was just about to place her hand on his leg there was a scream coming from nearby. Lita turned really angry and stood up. 'Why now,' she thought to herself in anger. She turned her head towards where Troy was, but he wasn't there. 'Where can he be,' thought Lita, 'He ran away and left me here? The nerve of him.' Lita looked around to see if anybody was around. When she found that nobody was there, she lifted her hand and shouted, "JUPITER STAR POWER!" She transformed into Sailor Jupiter and ran toward where she heard the noise. While she was running, her communicator beeped. "Yeah," answered Jupiter. "This is Venus, there's a droid attack at the antique store." "I'm on my way." Sailor Jupiter turned off her communicator and ran towards the antique store. When she got in, she saw a big piece of stone that's shaped like a human. It was really tall and had a dark crystal on its forehead. It was shooting out some kind of gray liquid out at the four scouts who were already attacking it. "SHINE AQUA ILLUSION," shouted Sailor Mercury. The attack hit the droid, but had no effect at all on it. The droid countered the attack with its own. It fired its liquid at Mercury and she formed into a block of stone. "SAILOR MERCURY," shouted the scouts. "MARS CELESTIAL FIRE SURROUND," shouted Sailor Mars. The rings of fire made contact with the droid, but again had no effect. The droid countered her attack, but she jumped out of the way at the last second. "VENUS LOVE CHAIN ENCIRCLE," shouted Sailor Venus. The droid quickly stepped aside from the chain and did its own attack. He fired his liquid at Sailor Venus and she turned to stone. "No Sailor Venus," shouted the last three scouts. Sailor Jupiter turned towards the droid, her face filled with anger. "JUPITER THUNDERCLAP ZAP!" The attack hit the droid, but had no effect at all. The droid fired from both hands and turned both Jupiter and Mars to stone. The droid then turned to Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon stood in horror as she backed up into a corner. The droid lifted an arm towards Sailor Moon to attack. There was a loud cracking sound as a rose went into the stone on the droid's head. It shot out its attack on reflex, hitting Sailor Moon and turning her to stone. "SERENA," shouted Tuxedo Mask. He jumped down to the statue of the one he loved. "EARTH BLADE ATTACK," shouted a male's voice. A man fell from the ceiling and slashed at the stone on the droid's head with a long sword that was glowing with a strange green light. On the sword handle was a green stone that was glowing with a brilliant green light. He had on a one piece green outfit. He was wearing brown boots and had a sword holster on his side. He had on a green mask covering both his nose and face. Only his blue eyes and black hair showed. He had on a headband that seemed to have a symbol of earth on it. The crystal shattered and the droid turned to dust. Tuxedo Mask saw that everyone was turning back to normal and got away from Sailor Moon before she woke up. He turned to look at the strange guy again, but he was gone. He decided that he should do the same and left. Everyone turned back to normal and looked around in confusion. After awhile, they all turned towards each other. "Wh…what just happened," asked Sailor Jupiter. "I…I don't know," answered Sailor Mars, "I remember fighting the droid and it attacked me and that's all I remember." "Ditto," said Sailor Venus. "Same here," said Sailor Mercury. "That was so strange," said Sailor Moon, "Same with me too." "Well let's get out of here before we get bombarded by questions," said Sailor Mars, pointing at the crowd of reporters coming towards them. The other scouts all nodded their heads and left. They got into a nearby alley and de-transformed. They started walking towards the arcade to pick up Reenie. *** Troy walked into the arcade and walked up to the front counter. Andrew saw him and waved hello. Troy walked up to him and they shook hands and started talking. They were chatting for about ten minutes getting to know each other better. Troy then looked at the time, shook Andrew's hand again, and left the arcade. While walking, Troy wasn't paying attention well to where he was going. He had his mind set on the Sailor Scouts. 'Who are they,' he wondered to himself before bumping into something in front of him. Darien was heading for the arcade after the battle. He hasn't seen Andrew for awhile, and he wanted to say hi. He wasn't paying attention to where he was going. He had his mind set on what happened earlier that day. 'Who is that guy,' he wondered, 'and what does he want.' He was taken out of his trance when he bumped into something in front of him. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't notice you coming," said Troy who put out his hand, "Name's Troy, I just moved here so I was really paying attention to my surroundings and forgot about the people around me. "It's okay," said Darien, shaking his hand, "I wasn't really paying attention either. Oh, I'm Darien, nice to meet you." They looked into each other's eyes and a feeling of déjà vu spread over them. "Endymion," asked Troy, wide eyed. "Lenience," asked Darien with even wider eyes.
