Silver Lining
Chapter 6
By: Eternal Angel and Chi Chi

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	In front of Amy stood the most handsomest man she had ever soon in 
her life.  Long, curly blonde hair and the greenest eyes.  She blushed 
as she noticed his intense stare upon her.  "OH my god it's her..." 
trailed Zack's thoughts as he continued to stare at her.  "Huh, who 
Zack?"  "Is Serena here yet?"  "Hey, if you're talking about Serena, I 
saw her first dude," interfered Devvon's thoughts, as everyone heard 
Zack's thoughts.  "No, I'm not talking about Serena, but yes she's here.  
It appears as though she brought some friends with her.  And it happens 
to turn out that these friends of hers are our loves from the Silver 
Millennium," Zack added telepathically.  "Your kidding..right Zack?" Jed 
asked nervously.  "Nuh uh.." came the soft reply.  The three men stared 
wide-eyed at each other unable to process what Zack had just said.  "Hey 
you guys, snap out of it and go meet your women!" exclaimed Devvon.  The 
guys looked at each other again and each yelled out a whoop, as they 
headed to win back their loves.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	"Will you guys stop arguing," asked a hotheaded Raye.  "Look, 
Amy's already beat us to the door."  "Who knows, she might have dibs on 
one of the guyyss...." Serena added playfully.  "Ohhh...Amy's never 
interested in guys," Mina said doubtfully as she warily eyed Lita.  
"Well you never know, there's a first for everything Mina," Lita replied 
as she discreetly edged her way up the driveway.  Mina immediately saw 
Lita's actions and jetted off with Lita at her heels, both shouting at 
each other.  Raye turned to Serena and smiled.  "Shall we Meatball 
Head?"  Quickly keeping her anger in check, Serena gave a tight-lipped 
smile and followed the others to the mansion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	"Oh my god.." gasped Jed as he saw his beautiful Raye walking up 
with Serena.  "Someone pinch me to make sure I'm not dreaming.  
OWWWWWW!!" he shrieked.  "Hey you said to pinch you dude," said Devvon 
innocently.  "I didn't mean it literally.  Sheesh."  Nate laughed at the 
two, while Mac gave Zack a bemused look.  He had been staring at Amy for 
a full 5 minutes.  "She must have really put an impact on him, because 
he hardly looks at women, let alone give them googly eyes," he thought.  
"I heard that," came Zack's annoyed reply.  "Well, aren't you going to 
let Am...ahem our guest in Zack?" Mac asked coyly.  "Oh..um sure," he 
stuttered.  The guys burst out laughing at Zack as he blushed a bright 
red.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	Amy continued to stare at the blonde hair man, but the arrival of 
the other men did not go unnoticed to her.  "Serena was right, they are 
cute."  She quickly blushed, "What am I talking about, that's Mina and 
Lita's department."  She was about to step in after the man named Zack 
had invited her in, but a shriek behind her caused her to look back.  
Amy turned around in time to witness Mina running towards her at full 
speed with Lita on her tail.  Before she knew it, she was falling 
backwards.  Amy held her breath and waited to hit the ground.  After 
what seemed hours, she resumed breathing and noticed that she had not 
made contact with the ground.  Amy looked up to find herself staring 
into a pair of gentle, green eyes.  
	"Owww..." Lita moaned.  "Would you kindly get off of me," came a 
strangled voice underneath Lita.  "Huh?" came the response.  "Um, I 
think you're sitting on top of your friend there."  "Well, she deserves 
to be sat on..." trailed Lita as she looked up at the owner of the 
voice.  She took in his chocolate brown eyes and deep chestnut brown 
hair.  "Wow, he looks way better than my old boyfriend," she thought 
dreamily.  "LITAAAAA!!!!!!"  "Oh uh..hehe," Lita stuttered as she 
quickly snapped out of her thoughts.  "Here let me help you up," Nate 
said as he offered his hand.  Nate happily offered his hand to his love 
and was pleased that she took it.  Electricity shocked both of them as 
he firmly grasped her hand and lifted her to her feet.  "Wow, he's 
strong," Lita said as she took note of his well built chest and muscular 
arms.  Meanwhile, Mina hopelessly tried to get up after being crushed by 
Lita.  Out of nowhere she felt herself being supported by strong arms.  
She looked up to see a pair of intense gray eyes staring back at her.  
"I can't believe I'm holding her," Mac thought to himself giddily.  
"Neither can we," came a response from a dazed Zack and Nate.
	"We leave you alone for a couple minutes and look at what you guys 
have gotten yourself into," Raye said with a smirk with Serena nodding 
in agreement.  They looked at the sight before them.  Lita was holding 
hands with a brown hair man, while Mina was in the arms of a silver 
haired one.  Even Amy was caught in an embrace with a long blonde haired 
man.  Raye noticed that the only men without a woman in their arms was a 
dark haired man that could have passed off as Darien's twin and...  She 
turned her gaze to find herself staring at fiery blue eyes.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	"Interesting, they all make good couples," she thought amusedly as 
she stared at each of her friends.  All, except Devvon.  "Why are they 
all sending me these strange vibes...like I know them from somewhere?"  
She looked up to find him staring intensely at her.  Serena gasped 
slightly as she gazed back into his eyes.  She saw loneliness and 
confusion cross his handsome features, but there was something else 
hidden within the depths of his stormy blue eyes.  Serena blushed and 
tried to look for a distraction.  Feeling Serena's discomfort, Devvon 
turned away.  "Hey you guys, we should probably all go back and start 
the barbecue.  I mean that's what these ladies came here for right?" 
asked Dev.  "Yea.." "I guess.."  "Sure.."  "Uh huh.." came the responses 
as Devvon led them all back to the patio.  
	"Before we start chowing down, I think it'd be best if we 
introduce ourselves," said Devvon as he looked at Serena questioningly.  
"Oh yea," she replied brightly.  "Ok here we go.  Devvon, Mac, Jed, 
Nate, Zack meet Mina, Raye, Lita, and Amy.  Mina, Raye, Lita, Amy meet 
Devvon, Mac, Jed, Nate, and Zack," she said pointing to each person.  
The girls politely said hello, while thanking the guys for having them, 
while the guys stood there dumbstruck with happiness.  "And, I'm 
Serena," she announced trying to get everyone's attention.  "Wow, really 
Meatball Head??  Who would've thought," Raye said with a smirk, while 
Jed began to laugh wildly.  "Meatball Head!" he hooted with laughter.  
"That's a good one Raye."  Raye joined in his laughter as did everyone 
else at Serena's little nickname.  "Why you.." she steamed.  "Uh oh," 
Raye said as she saw the evil glare.  Predicting what was going to 
happen next, Raye started running for her life, with Serena on her tail.  
Everyone watched the two amusingly, while they ran and shouted at each 
other around the pool.
	"I'm gonna get you this time Raye!" "Oh yea, only if you can catch 
me," Raye hollered back.  "With all the food you eat, I doubt you 
could," she said as she turned around to stick her tongue at Serena.  
Raye's actions only fueled Serena's anger.  She lunged at Raye, tackling 
her around the waist.  Before anyone could do anything, the two fell 
into the pool with a big splash.  Everyone gasped and stood there 
shocked for the next five minutes.  "Um guys, how long can a person 
breathe underwater?" asked Jed.  "According to my calculations, the 
average person can only stay under water for approximately 1 minute and 
25 seconds without a breathing apparatus.  "Actually, the average person 
can breathe underwater for approximately 1 minute and 36 seconds," Zack 
said, not resisting the challenge.  *Chi Chi: I know it's not true, I 
just needed to start a conversation between Amy and Zack...actually more 
like an arguement..hehe*  The two began to argue over how long a person 
could actually breathe underwater.  "Ummm you guys..they've been under 
for more than FIVE minutes," said a worried Devvon.  "But that's 
impossible," stated Zack.  "Nothing's impossible when it comes to Raye," 
muttered Amy, giving Zack the evil eye for challenging her intelligence.  
"Well I don't care, I'm going to go save them," Jed intervened.  "From 
what, drowning or killing each other?" asked Mina with a smirk on her 
face.  "Yea..if I were you buddy, I'd take some reinforcements.  You 
wouldn't want to be caught up in a cat fight," added Lita.  Jed turned 
nervously to the pool, he didn't want to die, not at such an early age 
when he still had so much to do, but he had to save his Raye otherwise 
he would never forgive himself if anything happened to her.  Everyone 
began arguing and praying.  Jed was doing the praying before he jumped 
into the pool to make sure he didn't die, but not from drowning, instead 
from the two girls.  Meanwhile Devvon jumped into the pool without a 
second thought.  He saw Serena and Raye both desperately trying to reach 
the surface yet one would always pull the other down.  Quickly swimming 
to them, he pulled Serena away, but with much difficulty.  She thrashed 
around and ended up smacking him upside the head.  She tried to grab 
Raye's foot, but she was already being pulled up to the surface by Jed.  
Devvon grabbed onto her tightly and pulled Serena up with him.  
	"AHHHHHHH!!!" Serena choked on the water as she gasped for air.  
She could hear Raye sputtering next to her, while being comforted by 
Jed.  All of a sudden, she felt herself being grabbed by the arms and 
pulled out of the water.  She laid on the ground while coughing up more 
water and breathing heavily.  As soon as she saw Raye, Serena weakly got 
to her feet and lunged at her, but was held back by Mac, Mina, Devvon, 
and Lita.  "Why you lit..." Raye began.  Serena stared defiantly at Raye 
as the others held her back.  "Let me at her..." Serena yelled.  "Come 
on, can't you girls play nicely?" asked Jed teasingly.  "NO!!!" they 
shouted in sync.  Wheels turned in there heads as looked at each other 
in agreement and turned their evil gazes towards Jed.  "Uh oh," he said 
softly as he began to back away from them.  The others let Serena and 
Raye go wordlessly and smiled with mischief as Serena and Raye stalked 
their prey.  "SPLASH!!" as three bodies tumbled back into the pool.  
Everyone burst out in laughter when Jed shrieked for help as the two 
girls took turns dunking Jed's head into the pool.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	"This is some good potato salad, it's almost as good as my own.  I 
wonder who made it?" Lita said to nobody in particular.  "I made it as a 
matter of fact and I'm glad that it meets your expectations," answered 
Nate with a smile as he sat down next to her.  He beamed with pride that 
his cooking met her standards.  Lita blushed lightly as his bare arm 
brushed against hers.  "Her skin feels so soft," he thought to himself 
as they sat in dead silence. He couldn't help but stare at his brown 
haired beauty.  How he had waited so long for this moment to come and 
now that it had, he couldn't think of a thing to say. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	In a corner of the patio sat Amy and Zack, staring dreamily into 
each others eyes, or so the others thought.  A closer look would reveal 
Amy's piercing blue eyes boring holes through Zack's challenging green 
eyes.  "I still believe that Aristotle was a much better philosopher 
than Plato," Amy argued heatedly.  He couldn't believe that in front of 
him stood his love for a thousand years and here he was arguing with her 
over who was a better philosopher.  "Oh well, some things never change," 
he thought as he remembered them having these same debates, which were 
always followed by a make-up session.  Zack grinned inwardly. ""I should 
be sweet talking her," he thought, but his intellectual competitive side 
gave in as he argued Plato's theories.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	"So where did you learn to speak fluent Japanese if you lived in 
America most of your life?" Mina asked as she and Mac exchanged stories 
of their lives.  Although they had just met, she felt such a strong bond 
towards him, not just a brother-sister bond, but something more 
intimate.  "Maybe he's the one!" she thought excitedly.  She smiled at 
the thought as she stared at his handsome features.  "Since our business 
is international, it's important that my partners and I be able to 
communicate with our clients, so I made everyone learn Japanese and a 
few other languages," he finished softly as he caught her staring at 
him.  He looked at her beautiful face and blue eyes as he unconsciously 
stroked her soft, silky hair.  Mina gasped and jumped back as Mac 
reached out to touch her hair.  "Oh uh..I'm sorry," Mac stammered, 
"there was a bug in your hair," he finished with a quick excuse.  "Oh, 
um thanks," she replied blushing from being so near him.  She could feel 
her cheeks flame and was sure they were as bright as Mars's fuku.  Mina 
quickly covered her cheeks with her hands and looked down at her food.  
"Don't do that, you look beautiful when you blush," Mac said while 
tilting up her chin.  Mina looked up to see his face merely inches away 
from hers.  Knowing what was going to happen, she leaned in further to 
meet him half way...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	"Hey!!" Jed shouted as Raye continually splashed him with water.  
"Hahaha," she laughed, but her laughter quickly died down as Jed 
disappeared.  All of a sudden she felt strong arms grab her around the 
waist and pull her down.  Raye opened her eyes to find herself drowning 
in Jed's baby blue eyes.  Without thinking Jed leaned forward and 
pressed his lips hungrily against Raye's.  The years of not being able 
to hold or kiss her took its toll on him.  Shocked filled Raye's mind as 
Jed's burning kiss seared through her body like white fire.  
Surprisingly, Raye returned his kiss with the same passion.  It was 
Jed's turn to be shocked as Raye kissed him back with such ferocity and 
passion.  After what seemed an eternity, Jed regretfully broke the kiss 
for the lack of oxygen was getting to him.  They broke to the surface 
gasping for air.  Raye uncomfortably looked at Jed with uncertainty.  
Jed didn't know what to tell her.  "I kissed you because I'm your lover 
from the Silver Millennium?"  First of all she'd smack him for such a 
stupid reason then laugh in his face.  Raye glanced around at her 
friends and noticed Mina and Mac were incredibly close.  In fact it 
looked to her like they were about to kiss.  Suddenly, her brilliant 
mind came up with the most perfect idea.  She turned to Jed and nodded 
over towards Mina and Mac.  He looked at them cluelessly for what seemed 
five minutes until finally Raye smacked him in the head and hissed, 
"They're about to kiss you dork."  "Ohh.." he replied, "So?"  "SOO????? 
So, we're gonna make sure it's a wet kiss," she said with an evil grin.  
"Ohhh," he said this time catching onto her evil scheme.  Both dived 
underwater and swam up to the edge of the pool.  On the count of three, 
they both popped up and launched their water attack.  "SPLASH!!!"  
Hearing a loud shriek and unmentionable curses coming from the other 
side of the pool, the others looked up to see Mina and Mac drenched, 
while Jed and Raye were in the pool laughing like crazy.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	Just as Mina and Mac were about to lock in a passionate kiss, they 
were drenched head to toe.  Mina let out a shriek, while Mac cried out 
in surprise. Numbly they turned to the culprits with daggers coming out 
of their eyes.  "JEDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!" Mac screamed.  "What the hell was 
that for????"  "Well you both looked hot and Raye and I thought that you 
could use a little cooling off," he replied gasping with laughter.  Raye 
stood next to him clutching her sides with laughter.  The others looked 
in horror as Mina and Mac jumped into the pool and swam after Raye and 
Jed.  The dry guys glanced at each other and smiled.  "Let's do it 
they," they said telepathically.  Zack picked up Amy and jumped into the 
pool, while Nate grabbed Lita's arm and threw her into the pool, while 
he followed suit.  Meanwhile, Serena watched wide-eyed in horror as each 
of her friends were either in the pool or thrown in.  "No way am I going 
in again.." she said as she noticed Devvon's mischievous grin.  "NO NO 
NO NO NO!!!" she shrieked as he slung her over her shoulder and jumped 
into the pool causing water to splash everywhere. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	"Uhh..." Serena said her teeth chattering as Devvon pulled her out 
the pool.  "Hey are you ok there?" Devvon asked concerned.  Serena was 
shivering and her lips were a nice blue.  "I'll be fine," she whispered 
as it was accompanied by a sneeze.  "Oh no..I don't need a cold right 
now," she wailed.  Devvon embraced her into his arms and rubbed her arms 
to warm her up.  He felt awful that she had caught a cold and it was all 
his fault if he hadn't thrown her into the pool.  "Why don't we go 
inside, so you can change out of these wet clothes and I'll make you 
some hot chocolate.  "Okay," came the reply.  
	"Where's that cocoa mix, I was sure Jed bought some yesterday," 
Devvon muttered as he banged around the kitchen.  "Um, Devvon?"  "Huh," 
Devvon answered as he turned around and came face to face with Serena.  
He bit his lip as he tried to hold back his laughter.  There she was in 
his jeans, which was obviously too big for her by the way she tripped 
over them.  And his shirt was practically 5 times bigger then her and 
hung loosely over her knees.  "I think it's a little too big," Serena 
said as Devvon burst out laughing.  "Really..I couldn't tell," he 
replied amusingly.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	"So tell me more about yourself," Serena asked as she settled 
herself on the couch.  "Well, my mother died giving birth to me, which 
drove my father over the edge and he killed himself.  *Chi Chi: hehe and 
you thought I was a happy person Space 13aby, but don't worry everything 
will turn out right =o)*  "Ohh my.." Serena gasped with horror.  Her 
eyes filled with sympathy over the lost of both of Devvon's parents.  
"So the hospital placed me in an orphanage.  Unlike the other children, 
there was a couple looking for a baby and they adopted me."  "But I 
thought you said that you knew the others since they were babies too?"  
"The couple who adopted me turned out to be Mac's parents.  See, they 
were told that they couldn't have a baby, so they decided to adopt one.  
But one year later, they were successful and had Mac," he finished with 
a smile.  "Mac's...ahem our parents were good friends with Nate's, 
Jed's, and Zack's parents so we all grew up together."  "That's great," 
Serena said.  "Opps, I mean it's not great that you lost you're parents, 
but that you got adopted..hehe."  Devvon smiled and nodded.  "I 
understand what you're trying to say, I realize how lucky I am to grow 
up with a family even though they're not my real ones."  "Just because 
they're not your flesh and blood doesn't mean that they aren't your 
family Dev," Serena stated.  "Families are made up of people who love 
one another and are always there when you need them no matter what you 
do," she said with compassion.  Devvon couldn't believe the sincerity 
and kindness that emanated from Serena.  Not only was she beautiful, but 
also loving and kind-hearted.  He watched her crystal clear blue eyes 
widen as he grasped her chin and tilted her lips towards his. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	"Hey Devvon..Serena!!"  "Whoops," said Mina as she grinned 
sheepishly at Mac.  "OW! Watch where you're going, that hurt."  "Sorry," 
Jed said as Raye rubbed her head.  "Whooeee Sere, first Darien now 
Devvon?" asked Lita playfully.  "Yea you go Devvon, your the man!" 
shouted Nate.   "Lita!"  "Nate!" Amy and Zack said simultaneously as 
they gave them both a dirty look.  "Ooops..hehe."  Serena looked up as 
she heard her friends caught her and Devvon about to kiss.  "Kami, what 
am I doing??" she thought guiltily as she backed away from Devvon.  "Why 
do I feel as though I'm betraying Darien when it's Endymion I'm in love 
with?  But even though, this feels right being here with Devvon.."  
"What do you guys want?" asked Dev angrily for being interrupted and 
upset at Serena's confused face.  "We thought we'd all watch a movie 
since everyone's full and too tired to swim," answered Mac.  Jed turned 
on the T.V and flipped through the channels until one caught his eye.  
"There is a youma attack at Tokyo Park where at least half a dozen 
youmas are terrorizing citizens and stealing energy," announced a 
broadcaster  "Sailor Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune are on the scene, but it 
doesn't appear as though they're holding up to well.  Where could the 
other scouts be?  "Oh no," gasped Serena as she saw Sailor Neptune being 
blasted by a youma and flying into a tree.  She looked around the room 
and saw the upset and even angry looks of the girls, while the guys were 
waiting almost as though expecting something to happen.  Mina's cell 
phone broke the silence as everyone came alive and began talking.  
	"Hello, Mina here."  "Mina, it's Darien, there's a youma attack at 
the park, I need you guys right away!"  "Hang on, we're coming, just 
stay where you are," Mina said conspicuously.  "Hey you guys thanks for 
everything, but we really have to go," Mina said as she stood up.  "No 
thank you for coming," Mac replied knowing the real reason of their 
departure.  "Do you want me to go with you guys?" asked Serena.  "Naw, 
it's ok," said Lita.  "You stay here and finish enjoying yourself."  She 
watched as they left her alone with Devvon and the others.  "I need to 
go use the bathroom," Serena said as she excused herself.  "I've got to 
contact Pluto."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	"Dev, we're going to go help out the scouts, I don't think that 
they can handle all those youmas on there own," said Mac.  "Alright, and 
I'll stay here with Serena."  Mac nodded as he and the others 
transformed into their general's uniform.  Each wore a regal gray 
uniform and a flowing cape.  Malachite's uniform was lined with silver, 
Jedaite's with blue, Nephrite's with red, and Zoicite's with green.  
However, a mask donned their eyes to hide the appearance of each 
warrior.  "Good luck my friends, and be safe," Devvon whispered as they 
teleported.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	"Pluto...Pluto..come in Pluto," Serena said worriedly as no one 
answered.  "Princess?" came a voice through the static in her 
communicator.  "Oh Pluto, you're okay!" Serena cried out in relief.  "I 
thought something happened to you, is Michiru ok?  And what about 
Haruka??"  "Neptune's unconscious right now and Haruka is ok, just a few 
bumps and bruises."  "Are the inner scouts there yet?"  "Yes, they've 
just arrived."  "Good, so that evens the odds up more.  I'll be there as 
soon as I can," Serena finished as she closed her communicator.
	"Hey Dev, where did everyone go?" Serena asked as she looked 
around the living room.  "Oh, Mac and Zack went to go finish up some 
paperwork, and Nate and Jed went clubbing," he replied hoping Serena 
would buy it.  He hated lying to her, but it was for her own safety.  
"Dev...Dev.."  "Huh," he said as he snapped out of his thoughts.  
"Finally, I've been trying to get your attention for the last five 
minutes.  I'm sorry, but I have to go to, I forgot that I was suppose to 
meet my friends at a cafe like 30 minutes ago."  "Oh it's ok, here let 
me drive you there."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	Ten minutes later, Devvon parked in front of the Moon Light Cafe.  
"Thanks Dev, for inviting me to the barbecue and dropping me off," 
Serena said flashing him a gorgeous smile.  "No problem," he said.  "Hey 
do you mind if I call you sometime?" Devvon asked nervously.  "Sure that 
would be great," she replied and giggled as Devvon let out a huge sigh 
of relief.  "Bye," he said as he drove off and headed home.  Serena 
headed to the cafe pretending to go in, then turned and headed into an 
abandoned alley.  "MOON PRISM POWER," she shouted.  In a flash of colors 
and ribbons, stood the heroine Sailor Moon.  Shutting her eyes she 
concentrated on teleporting herself to Tokyo Park.  As Devvon was 
driving back home, he glanced back to see Serena enter an alley.  "What 
could she be doing there...ARGGGGHHHHH!" he screamed through clenched 
teeth as pain ripped through his head.  Hanging onto the steering wheel 
with one hand he swerved and nearly missed hitting a car.  Devvon 
hazardly parked his car and held his head as the pain diminished.  
"Kami, what was that," he thought.  He looked down at himself and gasped 
in shock.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	"Jupiter watch out!!!" shrieked Venus as a vine headed her way.  
Jupiter looked up to late and found herself entangled in vines.  "Venus 
crescent beam smash!"  The attack did nothing but caused the vines to 
hold on tighter to its victim.  "Shit," Mars said through gritted teeth.  
She held her bleeding arm and tried her best to dodge the scissors-like 
youma.  Mercury stood to the side as she tried her best to find each 
youma's weaknesses, while Tuxedo Mask threw roses and fought with his 
cane.  "You guys..." Jupiter called out weakly.  Her screams pierced the 
air as the vines held onto her tighter.  "NOOO JUPITER!!" screamed Venus 
as her friend fell unconscious.  Pluto looked over at the distraught 
scout as she battled her own youma.  "Do not fear, help is on its way," 
she whispered.  No sooner said, a blast broke the youma's grip on 
Jupiter.  As she fell to the ground a streak of gray and red flew by and 
caught Jupiter.  Venus, Mercury, and Mars looked on with confusion as 
they saw three men with gray uniforms arrive and another joined them, 
while holding an unconscious Jupiter.  The three men jumped into battle 
and took on the fifth youma.  The man with the silver lining summoned 
his first attack.  A ball of energy formed in his hands and he threw it 
at the youma.  Instead of destroying the youma, it just split in two.  
"Uh oh," said Malachite.  "Good job dude, now we have two youmas to 
battle," hissed Jedaite.  Malachite just glared at him and withdrew his 
sword.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~
	Sailor Moon arrived at the park to witness the chaos and 
confusion.  To the left of her stood Pluto battling a youma with her 
time key and Neptune on the ground being watched over by Uranus.  To the 
left were the inner scouts.  She saw only Mars and Venus fighting, while 
Sailor Mercury stood there with her mini-computer.  "Where's Jupiter," 
she thought to herself.  She gasped as she saw Jupiter being cradled by 
a mysterious man in a gray uniform.  In the middle were three other men 
in the same gray uniform.  "Where did they come from?  Are they allies 
or could they be working for the Negaverse?" she thought worriedly.  Her 
worries died down as she saw the three men try to destroy the youma, but 
with no luck.  She quickly scanned the area to locate Tuxedo Mask.  
Sailor Moon found him fighting his own youma.  "So far all youmas are 
being taken care of...but wait, I thought the broadcaster said there 
were only six," she said nervously as she spotted a 7th youma creeping 
behind Tuxedo Mask.  She watched in fright as the youma sent forth a 
blast of energy towards Tuxedo Mask.  
	"Noooo," Serena tried to scream, but the word got caught in her 
throat.  She stared as second by second the blast grew near him.  
Shaking out of her revere, Sailor Moon straightened up and put on her 
battle mask.  "MOON TIARA MAGIC!" she called out.

	"Grrr...why won't you just die," shouted Tuxedo Mask.  The youma 
just grinned at him evilly and continued their duel.  Unnoticed to him 
was another youma creeping stealthily behind him.  Without warning, the 
youma sent a blast at Tuxedo's back.  Raye looked up after finally 
defeating her youma to see a wave of energy flying at Tuxedo Mask.  
"TUXEDO MASK!!  WATCH OUT!!" she cried in fear.  Tux turned around after 
quickly finishing off his opponent.   He stared wide-eyed at the blast, 
even his mask could not hide the fear in his eyes.  He looked around at 
his scouts and sadly whispered good-bye.  He felt tears come to his eyes 
as he silently said good-bye to his princess.  Tuxedo Mask felt himself 
being shoved back by a large force and he tumbled unmercifully to the 
ground.
