A Pink-Haired Demon...Two Seasons Early? Chapter 3 By Katelyn ^_^ E-mail: Katelyn86@lunap.com Rating: G, PG Okay people, I got one e-mail from someone telling me they didn't like the Japanese names. Here's what I've got to say about that: You don't like the Japanese names? Well, I hate to say it, but they were the ORIGINAL names, so you should probably learn to like them because, believe it or not, most of the fanfics that I read have the Japanese names...and PLEASE DO NOT USE SCOUTS!!! I can't stand the way DiC calls them 'Sailor Scouts'. They should be 'Sailor Soldiers'...but that is a rant of a different time, folks! This is the final chapter of APDTSE!!! I believe that this is the shortest 'fic I've ever written...bring out the gong!!! Oh, yeah, someone asked me for this, so I'll put a translation table here: Terms: Moshi-moshi = how they answer the phone Konnichi wa = hello Ohayo = good morning Minna = everyone Sayonara = goodbye Arigatou = thank you DOMO Arigatou = Thank you very much Domo = But Hai = yes Iie = no Gomen OR Gomen nasai = I'm sorry, sorry Nani? = What? And names: Tsukino Usagi = Serena Mizuno Ami = Amy Anderson Hino Rei = Raye Hino Kino Makoto = Lita Aino Minako = Mina Chiba Mamoru = Darien Unazaki = Lizzie Motoki = Andrew Chibiusa = Rini Haruka = Sailor Uranus Michiru = Sailor Neptune Setsuna = Sailor Pluto Sailormoon does not belong to me but this story does! Please check out my site at: http://sailoralderaan.tripod.com/ I also write under the name of Sailor Alderaan. Thanks for reading! *** Haruka pushed and yanked until all seventeen of her won time keys fit into the pocket of her duffel bag. Then, she turned and grinned at Setsuna. "'Nother game?" she asked nonchalantly. "NO!" "Fine, I can take a hint," Haruka grinned. "Come on, let's go to the dance club and give Odango and Mamoru-san a surprise worth waiting for." The evil grin was back on her face as she radioed Chibiusa and Michiru. *** Usagi stepped into the dance club...and stopped at the door. All around her were people dancing to the music band and eating at dinky tables made for two. 'How am I EVER going to find my date in THIS racket?' she wondered. She was still standing at the door when Mamoru walked in. He wasn't watching and he fell straight into her, causing her to slam against the wood panel to the right. "Odango Atama! What are YOU doing here?" he asked. Usagi stood up abruptly and Mamoru's breath caught in his throat. She was absolutely beautiful. 'What about your princess?' his mind argued. 'Forget the damn princess...Usako is here and she's CUTE.' 'Mamo-chan...what's he doing here?' Usagi wondered. 'If I could get him to dance with me...NO! You're here on a date with Haruka-san's friend!' She smiled. "Mamoru-baka, I'm not going to let you ruin my evening. I'm here on a date," she snapped. "Date? Who'd want to date you?" Mamoru asked. 'Only the whole world.' Usagi turned around angrily. "SHUT UP, Mamoru-baka," she grumbled. "I told you I'm not going to let you ruin my evening, so don't try to!" 'I don't want to ruin her evening,' he thought. 'I just can't stand the thought of her with someone else other than me.' He turned his sapphire gaze on her and she felt herself melt. "Oh, Mamoru-baka!" she shouted. "You're so stupid!" she grinned and skipped off, toward the little tables that were so crowded together. Mamoru shrugged and began to follow her. Haruka watched from the doorway with Setsuna and Michiru behind her. Then had all agreed not to allow Chibiusa into the dance club. "Come on, minna!" Michiru whispered. "We've got to tell them who their dates are!" "We really should get Sailor Venus involved here," Setsuna mumbled. Haruka heard her and turned. "They don't know her yet, Setsuna-san," she told the other senshi. "I'm sorry if that bothers you..." Michiru grinned evilly and touched Haruka and Setsuna's arms. "Look." She pointed at where Usagi and Mamoru were seated at tables right near each other. It was extremely obvious that they were fighting. "Looks like cupid needs some SERIOUS help," Michiru muttered. Setsuna nodded and Haruka lugged in her duffel bag, heavy because it was filled with about twenty time keys. *** Zoisite watched the proceedings at the dance club that was run by the youma Seranta. The youma had claimed that there was someone there who had something similar to a rainbow crystal inside them and Zoisite was determined to get to it before that blasted Tuxedo Kamen did. "Well, try to get the crystal carrier alone," he hissed. "I WANT that crystal!" He pounded his fist on the tree nearest to him and the youma saluted. It bounced off into the night. Setsuna sensed it first. The man who ran the dance club walked up to Michiru and smiled. "Hello, miss," he sneered. "May I help you with...anything?" he looked up and down her. She glared at him, distrustingly. "What do you want, sir?" she asked snappishly. Haruka returned to stand beside her. She dared the man to do something to Michiru. "Your crystal, precious," the man sneered. He turned into a youma...and everyone screamed. *** "DAIMON!" Haruka shouted, pulling Michiru outside. They nodded at each other. The youma came out and tried to hit Michiru. "Uranus planet power, make-UP!" "Neptune planet power, make-up!" Meanwhile, inside, Usagi was running toward the exit when she saw Setsuna giving orders. "Setsuna-san, what happened?" "There was a daimon." "What's that?" she asked, looking around. Setsuna sighed. "Maybe it was a youma...it was after Neptune's talisman." "Huh?" Usagi was confused. Setsuna grabbed her brooch and held it out to her. "Don't just stand there, Sailor Moon. Henshin-yo!" she commanded. "Hai!" Usagi grinned. She ran outside to where no one could see her and transformed. "Moon prism power, MAKE-UP!" She ran toward the sounds of battle were disturbing the air. Inside, Setsuna saw Mamoru. She grabbed his shoulder and nodded for him to come outside. "Mamoru-san...wait, you'll trust me more like this. Pluto planet power, make-up!" she transformed. Mamoru was surprised. "Tuxedo Kamen-sama...Mamoru-san, Endymion-sama..." He gasped when she used the final name. "Go help Serenity-sama...she is fighting as Sailor Moon..." that was the last word she spoke, because Tuxedo Kamen already stood in front of her and was running toward the battle. "Moon tiara action!" Sailor Moon attemped to take out the youma but it sneered and swallowed the tiara. "Shimatta! You can't DO that!" "Deep submerge!" Sailor Neptune tried to hit it. Her attack was too strong and washed out a tree as the youma dodged it. "World shaking!" Uranus' attack had the same effect on the youma. It started to move toward Sailor Moon, who launched another tiara at it. It swallowed it and grinned at her, heading closer. As it was about an inch away, a rose stopped it. "Sailor Moon, believe in yourself!" Tuxedo Kamen told her. "And Pluto-san is coming soon!" "Dead scream," Pluto whispered, the attack gearing up to full potential and almost killing the youma. The youma, however, was smarter than most and it jumped high...higher than normal youma could. "Pink sugar heart attack!" a small, higher-pitched voice called out. Chibimoon held out her smaller moonstick and attempted to hit the youma. The attack didn't even work and she turned it around to inspect it. The attack hit her and she screamed before turning it on the youma. "Don't hurt my Mama!" "Small Lady!" Pluto gasped, running forward and scooping the girl up. Sailor Moon realized exactly who they both were. "Setsuna-san? Chibiusa-chan?" she asked. They both gasped and looked up in surprise. Chibiusa grinned. "Mama!" She ran forward to give Sailor Moon a huge hug. Sailor Moon looked surprised but hugged the girl back. Neither noticed the energy disk heading toward them. "Shabon spray!" Mercury's voice came through as a fog appeared. "Fire soul!" Mars took out the energy disk. "Supreme thunder!" Jupiter tried to hit the youma but failed in the fog. Instead, she hit Haruka's duffel bag, which spilled out all twenty keys. Pluto burst out laughing. "Told you those would get you in trouble!" she snickered. Sailor Moon glanced up at Tuxedo Kamen as he launched another barrel of roses at the youma. "Tuxedo Kamen-sama, LOOK OUT!" she screamed as the youma hit him. He fell off the rooftop he was on right in front of Sailor Moon. One of the other senshi screamed...Sailor Moon thought that it was Mars...and Sailor Moon landed in front of him. "Tuxedo Kamen-sama!" A crystal tear formed in her eye and fell on his cheek. "Usako..." he murmured, delirious. Sailor Moon jumped up. "Tuxedo Kamen-sama, how do you know my name...waitaminute, THAT isn't my name!" she exclaimed. "That means 'my little rabbit' or 'my Usagi'." "Usako..." he murmured again. "Nani?" Sailor Moon knelt before Tuxedo Kamen and tried to help him up. "You can't possibly know..." "Sailor Moon?" He sat up, smiling at her. She was angry...she couldn't see his emotions through the damn mask! She smiled happily as he stood. "World shaking!" the sounds of battle in the background drained out as the two stared at each other. "Serenity..." Tuxedo Kamen murmured again, tracing Sailor Moon's face with his index finger. "Who?!" she glanced at him, not noticing Luna underfoot. She tripped on Luna and fell straight into his arms, blushing furiously. "Gomen, gomen." The youma crept up behind the couple and snagged out a few arms, which caught Sailor Moon and began to drain her energy. Then, one of the arms grabbed her brooch and threw it into the bushes ...and Sailor Moon powered down into a very drained Usagi. "Usako?!" Tuxedo Kamen exclaimed in surprised, kneeling before her. Pluto went into the bushes and found her brooch, and glared hatefully at the youma. "DEAD SCREAM!" she shouted, the only time she had EVER shouted her attack. The attack killed the youma and Zoisite looked on, disappointed, from above...but at least he knew the indentity of Sailor Moon. "Usako, wake up! WAKE UP!" Tuxedo Kamen shouted. He collapsed sobbing. "I should have known that you would be my princess...and now you're dead..." Usagi stirred and he sat up suddenly, removing his mask so that she could see his true identity. Usagi woke up to look into the smiling face of...MAMORU?! No, Mamoru in a tuxedo, holding a white mask...waitaminute, wouldn't that make him...? Nah. But maybe...could he possibly be? "Mamoru-baka?" she asked groggily. Mamoru grinned and held up the mask. "No, Usako. Tuxedo Kamen-sama to you." She gasped and looked at him in surprise. Taking his oppurtunity, Mamoru pulled her close to him, wrapping his arms around her and moving his lips closer to hers. Usagi gasped. 'It's actually happening! Mamo-chan is Tuxedo Kamen...ohmigod, he's going to KISS me!' she thought as his warm lips latched onto hers for a gentle kiss. He tasted like warm chocolate on a summer's day and she melted into his embrace. "Well, I NEVER thought I'd see the day!" Sailor Mars grinned. "Usagi-chan and Mamoru-san? AMAZING!" She giggled and Mercury stopped typing on her computer for one minute to smile. "HELLO?! ARE YOU EVER GONNA COME UP FOR AIR?!" Jupiter demanded, rather rudely. "Fine. Supreme-" "Hi, Mako-chan!" Usagi broke the kiss and grinned at her friend in delight. "Don't you DARE fry us!" she said in mock-anger. "I'm not the pyro," Jupiter muttered. Mars put her hands on her hips and glared at Jupiter. "Well, NEITHER am I!" "Sure you aren't, Rei-chan," Jupiter snickered. Mamoru looked at Usagi. "You have odd friends, Usako. Lemme guess...Mercury is Ami. Is Naru one of them?" "Iie." Usagi sighed happily in his embrace. "But you are, and always will be, my Mamo-chan." "And your prince." "Huh?" Usagi looked up into his smiling face. "I am Prince Endymion of Earth and you are Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom. I remember now...we were supposed to be married but the Moon was attacked by the Dark Kingdom before we could...we were both killed in the attack." Usagi had tears in her eyes again and she kissed him again. "I think we've suceeded," Pluto whispered to Chibimoon, both powering down. "Goodbye, Endymion-sama, Serenity-sama!" she called. "Bye Mama! Bye Poppa!" Chibiusa cried. Usagi and Mamoru both blushing bright red and mouthing the word 'parents?'. Setsuna just grinned, pulled Uranus and Neptune and waved her time staff. And they were gone, back into the future...or, precisely, into the S season. And the rest is history. *** Did you like it? Hate it? Should I write another romantic 'fic? Please tell me!
