Luna was lying on Serena's bed as she came into her room. Luna said "Well it's about time you got here. Don't you remember we have a Scout meeting in five minutes!!"
"Calm down Luna. Let me get changed and we'll be on our way," Serena said nonchalantly. Serena was finished changing in twenty minutes. She stuffed the envelope into her jacket and decided to read it after the Scout meeting, at Molly's house. She looked at her watch as she left the house and screamed, "Oh no Raye's gonna kill me!!" as she ran out the door to Cherry Hill Temple

Nothing happened during the Scout meeting. No more evil entities had come after the destruction of the Doom Phantom and the Wiseman. Everyone was excited because they thought that this might finally be the end of the battle for the world.
The conversation soon drifted away from Scout matters and on to Darien. Serena had been talking about Darien for about fifteen minutes straight before Raye finally said "Shut up meatball head!! Not everyone here wants to hear only about you and Darien." Then she got a sly look in her eye and said "Personally I want to find out what is going on with Mina and Andrew. I saw the two of them alone at a cafe sharing a milkshake together yesterday."
Everyone looke over at Mina their eyes wide with shock. Mina kept looking away from them as she blushed. "I can't believe you didn't tell us, Mina, about you and Andrew!!" exclaimed Lita.
Mina looked over at Lita a hint of surprise in her eyes. She said "Well Lita, I think I have a little bit of information that everyone here will wan to know on you and I have a little bit of information that everyone here will want to know on you and someone by the name of Ken. I caught them together in the park on a picnic alone together."
"That's nothing new Mina," Raye said as she glanced towards Mina. "We all knew something was going to happen between them after we saw the way she reacted after he was attacked by that cardian."
"We are not the only ones who are sneaking arround with dates behind our friends backs," Lita uttered, as her eyes looked accusingly towards Raye. "I was at the amusement park last week with Mina and we got sepated for a while. I was walking near the tunnel of love when I saw a boat comming out of the exit with raye and Chad lips locked together."
"Raye and Chad? A suprise I'll admit but not as much as the juicy little tidbit the I came accross last week at the library," said Serena.
"The library?!! Serena, you were at the library?!!", Raye exclaimed, her jaw falling to the floor. "That in itself is a shock. But no time for that, what did you see there?" asked Raye.
"Well, I saw a certain someone," Serena said as she was glancing over at Amy who was reading her book while Luna slept in her lap. "being led into the back of the library where i spied them kissing and cuddling." Serena made a silly face.
"Amy with who?!", yelled out Lita as she stared at Amy. "I can't belive Amy has a boyfriend and she did not tell us. Who was it Serena?"
Serena looked over towards Lita, "A psychic we all know by the name of..."
"GREG?!?!" yelled out all the other scouts in unison.
Amy looked over at the group and blushed saying, "it's true Greg and I are seeing each other. His family finaly moved back to Tokyo about two weeks ago and we met up last week."
"Iguess now we all have boyfriends to brag about now," said Mina as she looked around at her friends.
The meeting ended after about thirty minutes of bragging about their new boyfriends. Then they all broke up and went their seperate ways.

A woman with long flowing bright red hair, in a tight red sleeveless dress with a black thunderbolt on her forehead, looked down onto Cherry Hill Templ. "So those five wimpy teenagers are the Sailor Senshi. Amazing they were able to defeat Queen Beryle and Wiseman. But they will never be able to defeat my Lord Balathustrus and the Negaverse." an evil cackle echoed through the air as she vanihed, on her way to report to her Lord.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lord Balathustrus sat in his throne before his court in the Negaverse waiting for Tori to return with her report on Earth. Lord Balathustrus had on a jet-black cloak lined with red over his black armor, he had a curved sword that when it was taken out of his scabard emitted a black light. He had long black hair, tan skin and his eyes wer black.
Tori flashed into the court of Lord Balathustrus, her arms crossed in front of her as sh stood before her Lord. "Tori, what have you discovered about the planet Earth?" asked the thundering voice of Lord Balathustrus.
"The Earth should be very easy to take over," said Tori. "The Sailor Senshi are just a bunch of flimsy teanagers. I have also found the perfect place for our first attack on Earth. Each year there is a special performanceheld to show the newest performers. After the show more people come to find out what group, or performer is the best and then more people come to honor the contestants. Thousands of people will be there and we can collect energy from them all. The contest will be held tomorrow at 'His Majesty's Theater'."
"Sounds like a good plan. Get to work on it right now. I expect nothing but the best from you, Tori.," announced Lord Balathustrus.
"Incantaion cometo me," Tori said in a commanding voice as she focused her energy on a spot beside her.
"Yes my mistress," answered a figure of a young woman with light blue skin and purple hair who wore a dress that looked like sheets of music. "What is your bidding?"
"Finnish our plans for the show at 'His Majesty's Theater' in two days anddrain their energy at the end of the show when they are applauding, and excited about who the winner of the competition is."
"Yes my mistress," she said as she left.

As Serena was walking to Molly's house she remembered the letter that she had in her pocket. She pulled it out and looked for a return address, there wasn't one on the envelope. She opened it and pulled out its contents, a letter and a ticket.
She slowly read the letter and found out it was from Darien. The ticket was for the show that brought in the best new performeners, and always sold out in minutes at 'His Majesty's Theater'. Serena had always wanted to attend this annual performance. Tis year was suposed to be the best year ever. The leter said to meet him at the theater where the show would be held around six. Serena was excited and ran all the way to Molly's house. She could not wait to tell Molly about the date she had with Darien tomorrow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You'll never belive what I got yesterday..." said Serena as she walked over to where Amy and Lita were sitting, eating lunch.
"You actually brought your lunch today?" asked Lita as she looked over at Serena.
"Yes I did. But I have a date with Darien to go to the performance at 'His Majesty's Theater'. They are having that show for all the new artists tomorrow and Darien got tickets for it." said an excited Serena.
"You too?" said a surprised Amy. "Greg sent one for me and Raye got one from Chad. We both got them in letters, yesterday."
"Now this is getting too freaky," said Lita. "Mina and I both got tickets for it from Ken and Andrew."
"Maybe it's just all a strange coincidence," Said Serena as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Maybe but it seems just a little awkward. We don't know how this could have happened unless our boyfriends set it up behind our backs," said Amy.
"That must be what happened," said Lita and Serena simutaniously.
"I guess I'll see you at the theater tonight then," said Serena. "I think tonight will be very enjoyable."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena walked near the entrance to the theater, it was 6 o'clock. She was waiting for darien to come. She had small white flowers woven around her odangos. Serena was wearing a long dress, it was sleevless and made from white satin, it came is tigt and flared out at the waist, on the dress she had a white short sleeved lace top where it came down a few inches above her waist. She had on a white medium high heels and held a small purse in her hands. She looked around to see if she could see Darien or any of her friends.
Lita csught site of Serena in her white gown. Lita slowly walked over through the crowd. She was wearing a hunter green spaghetti strap dress that came down to her calves, she had a long shawl of the same color around her, her hair was tied up with a long verdant scaf and her matching shoes and purse finished the job.
"Serena, you are actually on time for something. What is the special occasion?" asked Lita.
"Darien said that this would be a night full of surprises and that I had to be on time in his letter," said Serena.
"Makes sense. Have you seen anyone else yet?" asked Lita.
"No one has shown up yet," said Serena as she looked around the entrance to the theater.
Mina stood in the crowd outside the theater. Her long blond hair was held back with a golden orange bow replacing her red one. Her dress was low cut, covering her shoulders, leaving her neck and arms bare, the golden orange cloth formed a tight bodice and from under it more of the orange cloth came down to her feet, ahe had on matching high heels and in her hand she held a small clutch bag.
All of a sudden Mina felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to see who it was and saw Raye standing next to her. Raye's dress let her blend in with all the famous people that were at the theater. The top of the dress was like a halter top, in the back of the dress black velvet ropes ran down her back where they rejoined with the dress, red satin held tight to her body where it flared out at her waist to her feet, she had a red ribbon tied around her head, her black high heels and purse finnished the ensemble.
"Hey there stranger where have you been?" Miona said as she looked over at Raye. "I haven't been able to find anyone since I got here."
"I don't know where they are, but I'm sure we will run into them soon enough," said Raye as she looked arround.
Just as Raye finished talking Amy walked over. Amy was wearing a sapphire blue silk dress, it was sleeveless, flared out at the wast, she held a matching wrap around her arms, her hair had rhinestone clips in it above her ears, her blue shoes and purse completes the outfit.
"Raye, Mina, I found Serena and Lita they are standing not to far away if you want to go join them, until our dates come," said Amy.
"Sure, just lead the way Amy," said raye as she looked over at Amy.
"Amy, Mina dnraye walked through the large crowd towards Serena and Lita. As they continued to walk they did not notice five young men following them. The group met up after a few minutes.
"Isn't this so cool we get to go to one of the biggest events of the year," said an excited Serena.
"Yeah, it is all we need now are some dates to take us to it," said Raye.
"That's where we come in," said Darien. Next to him were Greg, Ken, Andrew, and Chad. They were all wearing black tuxedos. The only difference between them was their ties, Darien's was white, Greg's was blue, Ken's was green, Chad's red and Andrew's was dark yellow. "Now would you like to tell us the reason behind the invitaion tonight?"
"We should be asking that question because you were the ones who sent us the letters with the tickets," said Serena. "But we can figure that out later we might as well go see the show, it should be starting soon."
