Second Chances
By Sailor Jade
Chapter 3: A Meeting to Remember
Author's Notes
Hello everyone. I'm back with chapter 3. This has gotten longer then
I thought so don't be very surprised if this gets extended into a chapter 6
or 7. To keep this short and sweet I want to thank everyone who e-mailed me
(you know who you are) and I hope you all like chap. 3!
In case you want to know time wise, the scouts have just beaten the
Negamoon. One last thing, I'm going to use the American names since I don't
know the Japanese ones by heart. All except Rei, since I know her Japanese
name and I think it looks better.

I do not own Sailor Moon I do not own the DIC I do not own anything
dealing with Saior Moon, the Negaverse Genrals or anything like that. 'Nuff
said.
"Mumph! Melp Me!"
Hehehe. Revenge is sweet
Jedite:
"What am I doing here?" I mumbled to myself. "Why did I even think
that she would want to meet me here? Why would she anyway? She's beautiful,
graceful, she probably has a ton of boyfriends! What would she see in me, one
of her worst enemies?" I was fretting about the important issue of the hour,
my meeting with Rei.
I glanced at my watch and felt my hopes sink even more, it was nearly
9:35, she wasn't going to come at all. Sighing heavily I started the long
walk back to my apartment.
"Wait!" a voice called from behind me.
I froze and considered my options. I could run in total
embarrassment, I could try my charm out on her and get smacked across the
face, I could just teleport away and hope that Pluto would understand, I
could lie and say that I wasn't the one that gave her the gift and make up
some story about a guy who had already left, I could see if it was possible
to die on the spot. . .
"Um can you turn around so I can talk to you?" Rei's voice said from
directly behind me.
Turn around! That was a good start!
"Uh hi," Rei said trying to get a good look at me since my face was
hidden in shadow.
"Hi," I said weakly for the first time looking into her onyx, dark,
beautiful. . .
"My name's Rei, what's your name?"
"Uh, hi," I said then mentally slapped myself on the forehead, "I
mean my name is Jed. . ."
"Nice to meet you Jed," Rei said politely.
". . .ite."
"What did you say?" Rei's eyes darkened as I finished my name.
I prepared to quickly run away if needed. "Jedite," I said taking a
step back, "My name is Jedite, I believe we've met?"
Rei gave me a angary glare and rose her hand into the air. A pen with
the symbol of Mars appeared in it. "Mars Star. . . POWER!"
"Oh dear," I muttered once again considering my options. I could run
and duck trying to be sure that I wouldn't get hit by any flying flame
throwers, or I could stand here try to convince Rei that I meant no harm and
get blown to moon dust by the Sailor Scout of Fire that was now standing in
front of me. I decided that my first option was my best one.
"Get back here Jedite!" Rei (or Sailor Mars) yelled taking chase
after me.
Running forward I looked for anything that might be of some shelter.
A youma would be a nice thing to have right about now.
"Give me your heart crystal!" a youma shouted appearing right in
front of me.
"Then again maybe Sailor Mars would be nicer to have around at the
moment," I said turning on my heal and running back the way I came.
"Get back here you coward!" Mars's voice yelled getting nearer. I saw
her the same time she saw me. "Jedite!" she gasped as I blew past her
grabbing her hand and dragging her after me. "Let me go!" she shouted.
"I'd love to, but there is a certain youma following us that I think
would love to meet up with you even more then I," I gasped wishing that the
Negaverse was as much into exercise as they were into power and dominating.
"What youma?" Mars asked pulling us into a dead stop.
"Give me your heart crystal!"
"That one."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" she shouted dragging me along
for a change.
I don't know how long we ran exactly, but I know when we did stop I
practically collapsed while Mars was still going strong.
"I'm sick and tired of running so much!" she declared turning toward
where the youma was sure to appear. "We should stand and fight!"
"Can we rest for a little bit first?" I asked desperately trying to
catch my breath.
Sailor Mars rolled her eyes at me. "Sure, why don't I ask it to a cup
of green tea while you sit there trying to catch your breath your highness?"
"Sounds good," I joked standing up, "but call be Jedite, Lady Mars."
"Call me Rei," she snapped standing at the ready.
I raised one eyebrow amused and stood slightly behind her also on the
ready.
"I guess this is not a good start for a relationship," I said as I
looked down at her.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean I wanted to meet you here and try and be nice and make
friends and that sort of stuff," I sighed, "But instead we get stuck running
from some youma who wants our ‘heart crystal' -whatever that is- and began
our day running after each other trying to destroy one another. Like I said,
I wish we could of started this a different way."
We were silent for a while and finally Rei sighed. "It is a strange
way to meet again. So we try a second chance or something."
I opened mouth to try and say a reply but an annoying beep
interrupted me. Rei quickly flipped open a star watch on her wrist and peered
into a small screen that rested in it. "Mars here."
"Mars! A youma's attacking at the mall!" a female voice chirped over
the comlink.
"WHAT! I thought the only youma around here was the one in the park!"
"But Mercury only found *one* youma tracing leading to here!"
"Then that thing must have wings on it's feet or something."
"Well get over here right now!"
"I'm on my way," Rei said, she turned her comlink off. "I gotta go."
"We gotta go," I corrected.
"‘We'? I only work with the senshi."
"Then I'll work with my own interests *along side* the senshi."
"But what if another youma comes here?" she demanded.
"What if you and the other senshi get in trouble?" I countered.
"What if the other's decided to kill you on sight?"
"What if Tuxedo Mask comes, trips on his cape, and falls face-first?"
"What if I decide to take your stupid ego and stuff it down your
throat!?
"I could always fall back on my charm."
"Charm? You don't have any charm you nit wit!"
I pretended to pout. "Your so mean! But I'm still coming."
Rei sighed. "Fine. But I wash my hands on the whole affair."
I smiled at her sweetly and let one of my portals surrounded us. We
were there even before she could complain. "Welcome to the mall," I chirped,
"Ground floor. Cosmetics, food court, cloth stores, and youma battles."
Rei glared at me or rather what I wore. During our short
teleportation I had instantly allowed myself to change back into my old
negaverse uniform. I had used what the scouts did, but it happened in a blink
of an eye while the senshi took from 15 to 20 seconds.
I shrugged. "What?"
"Did you have to come in that? The others will blast you for sure."
I ignored her and looked around the empty, but unharmed mall. "So
where's this youma? I thought they said it was here."
"I know," she agreed, "I wonder where they could. . ." part of the
ceiling crashed down no more then 10 yard from us and the youma jumped down
it followed by four senshi and Tuxedo Mask, ". . . be. Mars Celestial
Fire. . . SURROUND!" Fire balls raced at the youma hitting it in the back
making it stumble.
I nodded my approval. "You've improved," I said before unleashing my
own attack. Blue fire sprouted out from the ground below the youma engulfing
it in it's flames. I had managed to do it without a gesture or word too, I
had improved also!
Rei stared at me blankly until the fire died down. "Could you have
done that during our battle at the airport?"
I smiled and shrugged leaving it to her imagination.
"Venus Love Chain. . .SMASH!"
"Mercury Aqua. . . ILLUSION!"
"Jupiter Thunderclap. . . ZAP!"
"Mars Celestial Fire. . . SURROUND!"
Those attacks plus about five roses flew towards the youma, it
managed to block the ‘Love Chain' and one or two of the roses but all the
other attacks hit it head on.
"Now Sailor Moon!" the one who had to be Venus said.
"Moon Scepter. . . ELIMINATION!" I was surprised by the force of the
attack. Out of all the scouts (including the new ones) I least expected her
to have improved in the slightest. "Moon Dusted!" she cried clapping her
hands together. The celebrating began.
I cleared my throat trying to get their action. They ignored me. I
clapped my hands as if they had just put on a play. They still ignored me. I
decided at that time to choose option number three. I marched up to Sailor
Moon Stuck my hand out in a friendly handshake and said: "Hello Miss Moon,
long time no see."
"Jedite!" Moon gasped taking a step back and almost falling down.
"Who's Jedite?" Venus asked Mercury in a stage whisper that I think
she intended for me to hear.
"You know the freak that played with the airplanes that Mars told you
about?"
Venus nodded.
"That's him."
I began to feel highly annoyed that I was referred to as a ‘freak
that played with airplanes."
"He looks exactly like my old boyfriend!" Jupiter sighed with hearts
in her eyes.
Everyone groaned except me who didn't get the joke.
"Jupiter, everyone looks like your old boyfriend."
"But his eyes are exactly like Freddy's. Only his eyes are nicer
since Freddy dumped me."
"Excuse me, but I'm still here."
"Jedite is a Dark Kingdom General. Even if he does look like your
boyfriend you have to remember that he's evil," Sailor Moon lectured.
"Have I turned invisible or something?" I asked getting even more
annoyed by the minute.
They continued to argue if they should of tried and saved all the
Dark Generals since they ‘all looked so hot' or they had done the right thing
by turning them to Moon Dust.
"Don't worry," Tuxedo Mask said sympathetically, "they do it to me
all the time."
After about ten more minutes I said my good byes (which they barely
acknowledged) and teleported home. I could tell already that they were really
going to get on my nerves. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.
