I'm going to leave you guys in suspense, he he he. You're not going to find out what happened to the Generals in the final battle in the Moon Kingdom until they go to tell the scouts. I'm going to retell you who they went out with, and give you little hints, but that's about it. I'm very hyper cause basketball camp starts tomorrow and I love to play basketball. I also play volleyball, but I like basketball more. It's Sunday night, and I'm finally getting past my writer's block. I've been trying to write this part for three days and I'm finally getting a handle on it. Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor moon, but I wish I did cause then I would be rich and stuff. Naoko Takeuchi, actually owns Sailor Moon. Dic is the corporation that brought Sailor Moon to this Country. You can mail me to tell me I'm a great writer. Or, you can mail me to tell me I suck, please don't though. One last thing, never drink cherry Kool Aide unless you're in need of a major sugar rush, and I mean major sugar rush. Hope you like the story. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~THE STORY*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ New Beginnings Part 2: New Friends By Sailor Catrina "And, that's what happened that fateful night," Matthew finished. Serena sat on the sofa dumb founded, "Okay so you're telling me I was sent to the future when I was young, then I was brought back the morning before Beryl attacked to receive my birthright." Serena stood up and began to pace. "You're also telling me Matthew went out with Mina, Zack with Ami, Nate with Lita, and Jake with Rie, I feel bad for you Jake, and that you Terra fell in love with, Galen, the Highest Guard of the Knights of Selene, which protected the palace against all attacks. Lastly, you're saying that you guys weren't the Nega-verse Generals that we fought." "I think she finally gets it," Zack said. "I think I need to lay down," Serena said sitting back down on the couch. "Why don't I show you to your room," Terra said standing and motioning Serena to do the same. "Jake and Matthew can bring you're things to your room. Nate can start on dinner, because out of all of us he is the only one who can actually cook. Finally, Zack you can begin your work on the security for the party in two weeks." "What are you going to be doing Terra?" Jake said. "Go shopping, I think your closet could hold a couple more outfits." "Very funny," Terra said shooting him a cool stair. "Actually, I was going to hang out with Serena for awhile, and answer any questions she had. That's if she doesn't mind the company." "That would be great," Serena said standing and walking to where Terra was. "I have a lot of questions at the moment, and if I don't get them answered, I think I'm going to have a mental relapse. Serena and Terra walked out of the living room, where they had got together, so they could convince their Moon Princess that they where on her side, to a staircase located in the front hall. They climbed two flights of steps, and turned left when they reached the third floor. Two doors down and they reached their final destination. "This is your room," opening the door to reveal a well, furnished room. "I hope you don't mind, that we furnished it for you. Pluto said that we should let you do it yourself, but I remembered everything you liked when I knew you before, and told Pluto how to decorate." "It looks great," Serena said looking around the room. The furniture was made of oak, there was a long dresser, a queen-size bed, with white satin sheets. The pillowcases where white satin as well, and light yellow stars and moons hand stitched in. There where two oak nightstands on both side of the bed, and on top of each nightstand where vases of all different color roses, as well as lamps. There was a bookcase filled with all different books, many of them classics. Finally, sitting by the closet doors or what Serena thought where the closet doors was a vanity, with makeup. Serena walked over and sat on the bed, in the center of the pillow cases where white lilies, or as they where more formally called Casablanca's. As Serena looked at the sheets she noticed light pink rose buds where hand stitched in. "This room is absolutely beautiful." "I thought you would like it," Terra said walking towards a door on the left wall close to the dresser. "In here is your private bathroom. In your closet is clothes that Pluto designed herself, as well as shoes she picked out to go along with the outfits." She turned and walked towards the bed, and sat down beside me, "There are two jewelry boxes on your dresser. One is filled with silver jewelry, and the other with gold. Pluto also picked out some makeup she thought would look good on you. Also we are the only two with rooms on this floor. All the guys have room on the second floor. There are two more rooms on this floor that are set up for guests. On the fourth floor, there is an office for you and one that Matthew, Zack, and Jake share. The other rooms are used for storage. What else would you like to know?" "First question is," Serena thought for a second. "What do we all do for a living. Pluto had to have figured that out as well." "She did," Terra stood and walked to the dresser to retrieve a folder that was sitting on top. "You are now Serea (pronounce as Sere-a) Fisher, a designer. You are going to be holding a party next week to introduce your line of Millennium. Pluto has completed your first outfits, but she said you're on your own from now on when it comes to designing. From what she told me, you should do fine." She handed Serena the folder. "In here is where your office is located, and the name is the same as what you gave your clothes Millennium. These are all the people who work for you. Pluto has been pretending to be you. She called everyone by their first name, so you need to have memorized all their names by Monday. You will also have to change your hairstyle, because of the ball your picture will be seen all over the world in millions of fashion magazines, and if I know Mina she will probably buy one, and if you where your normal hairstyle she will recognize you. Lastly you won't have to worry about driving any where, because you have a driver on call all the time." "So, I need to have all names memorized by Monday," Sere said. "And, I also need my hair style changed. Well I guess I should change my hair tomorrow." "I though you'd say that," Terra said smiling warmly, "so I have made an appointment for both of us to get a complete make over tomorrow. Now on to what the rest of us will be doing. Mat, which you should never call him when he is around, and Jake are running their own a Martial Arts Academy, which is well known. They are also bodyguards to the wealthy. Zack takes care of the technical part of the security. They will be providing the security for your party. Nate as I said the only one who can cook, he owns a restaurant a couple blocks away from your office, which is where we will meet for lunch twice a week. We will tell you when we are going to meet there before you go to work in the morning. His restaurants are located all over America as well as in Europe. Finally, we come to what I do for a living, I am a model, well actually I work for you. I'm one of the many models that will be wearing your clothes at the party. I won't be able to be at your side all the time, because of fittings and photo shoots, but if you need me all you have to do is ask your secretary to get me. What next?" "Wow that is a lot of information," Serena said lying down. "If you don't mind I think I just want to rest right now. Can you come get me when it is time to eat?" "Of coarse Sere," Terra said standing up and walking towards the door. "If you need me I'll be in my room, which is the next door over," and she was gone. Serena took the Casablanca's and mixed them in the vase with the roses. Then she curled up under the soft sheets and fell fast asleep. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Terra closed the door silently behind her. She looked down the hall to see Jake and Matthew walking her way, with Serena's things. "If you must put Sere's things in her room right now, make sure you do it quietly. She has just fallen asleep, and had a very hard couple days. I think she could really use the rest, and if you wake her up I'll kill you both myself." "Yes almighty Princess Terra of the Royal Moon Court," Jake said mockingly. "And, after we have seen to this assignment, what would you like us to do next?" "I'd like you to go ask Nate if he needs you to run up to the store for any groceries," Terra said turning towards her room, "If he does go pick up the stuff he needs, and when you get back help out Zack. If Nate doesn't need anything just go and help Zack." "We here, and we obey," Jake said bowing slightly, which caused a slight laugh to escape Terra's lips. Then she opened the door to her room, and went in. Jake and Matthew slipped in and out of Serena's room, and then down the stairs. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Two Weeks Later*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Serena sat examining herself in her vanity mirror. She had gone through a lot of changes in the last two weeks. Different life style, name, hair and even eye color. She had realized, that if any of the scouts recognized any of her features and showed the picture to Darien that he would recognize her eyes, and that would be the end of her new life. Terra had told her to go for a normal color a color that wouldn't stand out, but she wouldn't listen. Instead of going for brown or maybe even green, she had changed her eye color to violet. With the changes she had made to her hair her eyes stood out even more. She had shortened her hair to mid thigh, and styled it with a side part. Depending on which way she parted her hair that is how she styled her bangs. If she parted her hair to the right, then she would take her bangs, and clip them to the right, taking her hair to cover the clip. It made her seem older and much more maturer. She looked down at her watch and saw that she had one hour before she had to get to the place where the party would be held. She set to work right away. She took all of her hair except a few pieces in front and put it into a French Twist. Taking the few remaining pieces she curled them, and then pinned them so they framed her face. She then took a silver clip with a small pink rose and clipped her bangs to the right. Then she did her makeup. She took a deep mauve and dusted it onto her eyelid closest to her lashes, and then took a light pink and dusted it over the rest of her eyelid. She then took a silver, star and put it on the left corner of her left eye. She then took a light pink blush and dusted it over her delicate cheekbones. Finally she took a deep mauve lipstick that matched her eye shadow, and applied it to her lips. She then slipped into the dress she had supposedly designed. It had spaghetti straps, and was made of pink and white silk. The whole dress was form fitting, and looked perfect on her. The top was white and cut low, but the back was cut lower. When it reached her waist white and pink silk rose buds circled her small waist. Below the roses the material was a very delicate pink, and reached the top of her knees. She then accented it with silver jewelry. She wore simple hoop earrings, and her necklace was silver with a simple pink gem in the center. She then took two silk rose buds, one pink and one white, and placed them in her hair. She then opened her closet and took out her shoes. They where pink platforms that laced up her leg, and tied at mid shin. Before leaving she sprayed on a touch of Channel, and grabbed her silver purse, which she threw her lipstick and watch in, and a long white over coat. She checked herself in the full-length mirror that she had bought the day before, and then walked out of her room and downstairs. Terra, Matthew, and Nate had left a little while early. Terra had to be there early so she could get some pictures taken before the show. Matthew had to go to make sure that security set up right, and Nate had to go to make sure all the food was prepared properly. When She reached the bottom of the steps she found Jake and Zack waiting in their tuxes. They where involved in conversation, and hadn't seemed to notice her, so she took the time to examine their appearances. Jake was in a black tux, he had on a cape, that underneath was a deep red. His blonde hair was well combed, but still hung over his playful blue eyes. Zack wore the same exact thing as Jake, except that the bottom of his cape was a deep blue, and his long hair was tied back neatly. They both looked stunning. Jake was the first to notice her. "Serena you look amazing," he said coming to take her hand and leading her towards the door, her arm in the crook of his. Serena blushed. "Jake's right for once," Zack said opening the door for her. "You look every part the princess you truly are." At this Serena blushed harder. Serena walked out the door with Jake, and Zack closed the door and followed them to the car. The driver stood by the passenger door, and opened it as they neared. Serena got in first, followed by Jake, and then Zack. The driver shut the door, and then got in the driver side, and they where off. "You both look quit hansom yourselves', but do not forget to call me Serea tonight. Now you sure everything is set." "Yes," Zack answered. "Matthew called before you came down the stairs to report that everything was going according to plan. As soon as we get there, you will go up and check all the outfits, and then they need a couple pictures of you, before the show." Serena looked a little bit nervous. "Don't worry," Jake said taking her hand in his and squeezing it reassuringly, "Zack and I will be by your side every moment. The only time we both won't be there is when you make your appearance. At that time Zack will be escorting Terra, and I will be escorting you." "I hope this works," Serena said trying to smile. "I mean I'm not even out of High School yet, and now I run my own designer design company, which is one of the hardest things to make it in, beside modeling and acting. As long as I have you guys and Terra I think I'll do fine." *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~The Show*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* All the guests had arrived, and the show was about to begin. The models would be walking down a curving flight of stairs and then to the front and up on the stage where they would wait till the end of the show. The announcer stood center stage, and called for everyone to turn towards the stairs. Music began to play; the music was "The Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" from The Nutcracker. One by one the models walked elegantly down the stairs and towards the stage on the arm of their escort. Some of the dresses where long and others where short, but they where all formal where. The escorts all wore black tuxes, and capes. Underneath each cape was a different color. The girls looked wonderful in the dresses they wore. "Terra, or next model," the announcer said as Terra stepped out of the door that lead to the steps, and began her way down on Zack's arm, "Is wearing a long violet dress. It is form fitting at the top and flares out at the waist. White beads in circle her slender waist. The front is low cut, and has thin straps which cross in the back, to give it a more elegant appeal. She is wearing a pearl necklace and earrings from Diamond and Jewels, and silver platform shoes that latch at the side." "Finally, the face behind the new line of Millennium," as the announcer spoke the lights were dimmed and the fallow spot shown at the top of the steps, out stepped Jake, a delicate hand resting on his arm. He took one more step out and Serena made her appearance. "Miss Serea Fisher. Miss Serea Fisher is wearing a delicate, form fitting, silk dress in the colors of pink and white. The top is white silk, low cut in the front and back, and the sleeves are thin to show of her white shoulders. At her waist white and pink silk rose buds circle around, adding more style to the dress. Below the rose buds the dress turns into a light pink color, and reaches the top of her knees. She is wearing simple silver hoop earrings, and a necklace with a simple pink jewel in the center. Her shoes are light pink, and wrap around to mid shin, wear they are tied." The announcer turned and waited for Serea's slight nod," My I present to you Millennium, and the designer behind this new style, Serea Fisher." The audience began to clap, Serea kissed her escort on the cheek before walking towards the mike. "Before you ask any questions I would like to thank a few people who helped me to prepare for tonight. First I would like to thank my assistance for putting in all those long hours to get the outfits made and the accessories for tonight. I would also like to thank Nathan Frielend the owner of StarDust, the restaurant, for the food that he has prepared for tonight's events. I also want to thank Zack Simons, and Jake and Matthew Compten for the security they provided tonight. Finally, I want to thank my best friend Terra for all the support she has given me, and believing that I could make it." Serea stopped and took a breath. "Wow, you'd think I just won an award or something." A slight laugh aroused from the crowd. "Now any questions?" "Miss Fisher, how did you come up with the name Millennium?" a gruff male called from somewhere in the crowd. "I came up with the name Millennium, because that's what we are reaching, and I want my designs to lead the way through the new time." "Miss Fisher, how long will it be before your outfits are out in the stores?" this time a female voice asked. "It will still be another week before they reach department stores," she was silent for a moment. "New Year's eve when the clock strikes twelve stores called Millennium will be opening world wide, and the stores will be open all night for the first two nights. That's all for right now. I hope you enjoy the party. I'll be walking around if you have any more questions. Thank you and have a wonderful time." Jake walked forward and took Serea's arm leading her down the steps of the stage, two by two the models and their escorts followed. Cameras where flashing everywhere. The groups walked out to the center of the floor, and as the music began they began to dance. Towards the middle of the song Jake and Serena walked towards the back of the crowd. "Jake, can Matthew and everyone her me," Sere said looking around nervously. Jake looked around and then turned back to her, "Yeah Sere. What's going on? What's got you so freaked?" "If you're quiet for a second you'll find out," Sere began to speak in a hushed tone. "Listen up everyone, we have something evil near by. I don't know if they are already in the party, or on their way. No matter what you're doing don't stop, especially you Matthew we don't want to alert anyone. Nate I want you to continue to supervise the cooking but stay close to the door encase we need you, and also check your staff and make sure no one is giving off creepy vibes. Matthew I want you to tighten up the patrols, check the people that are working patrol, and you check the tickets. You'll be able to spot the fakes, and also you can do a scan of the person before you let them in. Terra have any new models or escorts shown up in the last few days?" "No, they haven't Sere," Terra said, "and I would know. If any new models or escorts show up I interview them, and figure out which outfit they are going to wear. If they check out, that is." "Okay, Zack and Terra you stay on the dance floor," Sere said taking control again. "Do scans of all the people on the dance floor, if anything's up report it. Jake and I will mingle with the crowd and scan them at the same time. If anything is wrong don't try to take it on by yourself. Alert everyone and we'll figure out where to go from there." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~TWO HOURS LATER*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ After two hours of searching they had still found nothing. Everyone in the room was clean, but then where was the evil vibes coming from. Jake and Sere where now in the back of the room again, listening to the others report on what they found. Nate reported no evil from the kitchen staff, and Zack and Terra had scanned the dancers twice to no avail. No one knew had joined the party, so Matthew's search was fruitless. Jake and Sere had split up so they could scan more people that way. No matter how many times they checked, or the different ways they checked, they still found no sign of evil. When Sere asked the others if they had felt anything they had said no. So where was Sere getting these feelings? "Matthew, have someone relieve you, and then go up to the changing room," she was quiet for a moment. "I want you to check the news and see if anything strange is happening anywhere near by. There is a TV in my private room, use that one. Everyone else keep your eyes open." Jake and Sere stood side by side silently. "Sere are you sure you felt evil?" he said breaking the silence. Sere didn't respond. She stood there looking at him, but her eyes where glazed over, and she looked as if she was going to faint. Jake put her arm through his, and made it look like they where walking side by side. He reached an area with a bunch of trees, and went behind them. "Teleport," Jake whispered. "Take us to Sere's private room upstairs, and fast." In a flash they where in Sere's private room, and Matthew was just walking in. Jake could sense Sere losing consciousness, and picked her up to set her on the couch behind them. "What happened?" Matthew said rushing from his position by the door. "I don't know just get Terra and Zack up here fast." Jake said, kneeling down beside the unconscious girl. In a flash Terra and Zack where by Jake's side. " I got an idea," Jake said. "Sere just can't leave her own opening so we are going to have to do some switching. Zack since you are the only one who can work that magic you are going to have to stay here with Terra. Terra you are now going to be Serea, and Zack you are going to be me. And Zack, before you start arguing yes you do. I've been at her side, all evening, and so it would seem odd if I no longer were. Matthew you will go back to your post, and keep checking tickets. Nate will stay in the kitchen. You hear that Nate?" "Yeah, I heard you Jake," Nate replied. "Just keep me and everyone else informed on her position." "Will do," Jake said. "We can't exactly walk out of here, so I'm going to teleport us out of here. Teleport, take us home," Jake said putting one arm around Sere. Then they where gone. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~THE END*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* So what do you think. I hope you enjoyed the story. Anyone have any idea what happened to Sere? If you do tell me what you think, and I'll e-mail you back telling you if you're right or wrong. If you're wondering where I came up with the nutcracker song, I've had it stuck in side my head all day long. I almost didn't make the deadline. Well send your comments to the e-mail address at the very beginning. Sailor Catrina, the one and only.
