JUPITER KNIGHT PART II

One week after Lita and Ken's memory of the past came back, the scouts

were at Rei's temple, discussing their future plans.

Rei: So, what now? So far, we found out that there's another general

from the Negaverse, but then what?

Serena: I say we find them, and elliminate them!

Rei bopped Serena on the head: Idiot! How do we find them? That's our

problem!

Darien came to Serena's defense: Hey, don't talk that way to Serena! She

was trying to help!

Rei: Shut up Dairen! You never stood up for me when we were together!

Ami: If we all just calm down!

Reeni: Will you all just be quiet! Serena! Stop fighting with Rei!

Mina: Hey, don't leave me out of this!

Serena: If we just...

Lita just sat crosslegged on the floor, looking at Ken. Ken was staring

at the floor. She had to smile at how adorable he looked.

Lita: We're pretty annoying, huh?

Ken: Not really.

Lita: Don't worry, when we get dwon to business, we get busy.

Ken looked up just in time to see a pillow smack Lita's head.

Lita: What the-

All: PILLOWFIGHT!

Ken laughed and fell over.

Lita: You think that's funny?

She threw an over stuffed pillow over to Ken.

In the dark taverns of the Negaverse...

Pionicite: Haha ha! Mwahahahaha.

Pionicite laughed insanely at the plan she cooked up. She danced

about the room gaily.

Pionicite thought to herself: I should've thought of this sooner!

I can attack another contry, and that will bring the scouts to an unfamiliar

place. That would weaken their defenses enough to kill them!

They were still fighting and throwing pillows at Rei's house.

Serena: Take this-

Darien: Oh yeah?

Reeni ran around hitting everyone on the head. And giggling. Lita

snuck around with a water gun, shooting anyone who wasn't looking. Every

one was wild with fun.

Lita backed up close to Ken, in a corner. Ken took this opportunity

to tickle her.

Ken: Drop the gun!

Lita: Haha- No! hahahha!

Ken tickled her ribs until Lita dropped the gun. She poked his ribs

and tried running away. He was too quick, he caught her hand and pulled her

closer into the corner. Lita still had a smile on her lips as he placed his

lips on hers. The kiss was interupted by someone whistling.

Reeni: Whoo-hoo! Ken and Lita are kissy kissy!

Lita quickly drew away, and turned. Ken blushed and looked down at

the floor. Everyone was staring at them.

Lita: What are you staring at?

Mina: You and Ken want to be alone?

Mina giggled nervously after she said that.

Lita: Hey, you guys never say anything to Serena when she's kissing

Darien!

There was a long silence after Lita said that.

TV: In other news, trouble in America.

All the scouts looked at the TV: Strange alien like creatures are

attacking Los Angelos. People are either fleeing, or coming in to see this

awesome thing.

Luna: Looks like it's a job for the Sailor Scouts.

Serena: We get to go to California? Alright! I need a tan!

Rei: Dimwit! We aren't going there to get a tan! We have to fight!

Serena: Oh yeah! I forgot.

After a few days of planning, all six scouts, Darien, Ken, Luna and

Artemis were on a plane to LA. Luckily, it was summer vacation, and other

people thought they were just going on a vacation.

Serena was munching greedily on the nuts the airlines often give.

Darien: Serena, calm down. You'll get full before dinner comes.

Serena: Dinner? When?

Mina and Rei were still fighting on who gets the window seat first.

Rei: I get it first because I said it.

Mina: I get it cause I'm more worthy!

Rei: No

Mina Yes-

Ami was calmly reading a travel guide to Los Angelos. Reeni was

coloring the new coloring book the stewdess gave her. Luna and Artemis was

locked in a bag, in the overhead compartment, dying to get out soon.

Lita sat next to Ken, nervously clutching the armrest.

Ken: Are you sure you don't want to sit next to the window?

Lita: Yeah. It makes me nervous.

Ken: There's nothing to be nervous about! It's just clouds, see?

Lita looked out the window and quickly looked away. She could never

get over her fear of airplanes since her parent's death.

Lita: You're parents didn't get killed by a plane. You have nothing

to worry about.

Ken softened his intense gaze at Lita. Poor Lita, the one thing she's

afraid of was planes. He pryed her hands off the armrest, and took it in his

hand.

He squeezed her hand: Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you.

Lita calmed down enough to walk by herself down the aisle during the trip.

Pionicite was waiting for their arrival, in LA. She rented a hotel in the

Beverly Hilton hotel. Under the name Pionna Wyldcite. Some of the people

in the lobby stared at her, as if she was a movie star. Of course, she had

disguised herself as a dashing lady, almost a model. She walked around,

flashing smiles at everyone, trying to look ordinary. In her hotel room,

were bottles of ingredients to make any kind of terror monster she wanted.

Just a little of this amount, and that amount, and a dab of another amount

would form the perfect thing to go and terrorize the city.

Pionna: Hahahaha. Stupid fools, walking right into my trap! Who do

they think they're dealing with? That weakling Beryl? Ha!

She flopped onto the feathery soft bed, almost screeching with disgust.

Pionna: How do these humans sleep on this? It is so floppy and soft.

Yuck, disgusting! I can't wait to make them all slaves of the Negaverse!

Then, finally I can go sleep on my rock at home!

After 16 hours on the plane, everyone was feeling a little mucky. Serena,

ofcourse ate too much of the airline food and had to go in the restroom

every hour. Ami was getting a little sick from reading so much. Rei and

Mina stopped bickering, and were sleeping soundly. Darien sat across from

Ken, keeping him company by playing cards with him. Luna and Artemis were

finally let out of the suitcase, and were hiding from the stewardess, who

hated animals. Reeni was still busy coloring, in a world of her own with

a brand new box of crayons. Lita eventually calmed fell asleep, leaning

on Ken's shoulder.

Darien: Black jack.

Ken said silently: No fair! You cheated didn't you?

Darien: Of course not!

Just then, Lita put an arm around Ken and mumbled something. Slightly

embarassed, he unwrapped her arm from his neck and slowly turned her so she

leaned against the pillow. She made a gurgling noise and went back to sleep.

Darien: You really like her, huh?

Ken: Do you like Serena?

Darien: I guess that's a yes.

Luna suddenly appeared under Ken's seat.

Ken almost jumped through the roof: Luna! Don't sneak around like that!

Luna: Sorry, I'm not use to sneaking around like this. It's Artemis's

job. When can we get off?

Artemis: Hey, I heard that!

He jumped off of the overhead compartment and onto Darien's shoulder.

Darien looked at his watch: Don't worry, three more hours to go. I

think everyone is a little sick of planes by now.

The guys finally settled on who won the card game, after an hour.

Mina woke up, and found Rei drooling.

Mina: Ewww! She's drooling on me!

Rei woke with a start: I am not!

Mina: Am too!

Rei: I'm not!

The two fought and fought, until they landed on the ground. Lita woke

in time to get her own luggage, but didn't get very far. Her suitcases were

so heavy, she walked slower than everyone else.

Ken: Lita? Do you want any help with that?

Lita: Uggh, no. It's (panting) uggh, okay.

Ken didn't believe her, and took both suitcases from her, and gave

Lita his duffle bag, which was much lighter.

Ken struggled a bit, but finally got the hang of it: Geeze, what do

you have in here?

Lita looked a little embarassed: I thought that after we get rid

of this Negaverse slime, we could hang at the beach, or something. I just

brought a few outfits.

Serena suddenly had a sweat drop on her head. She turned red, and

tried to hide it. It was too late, everyone saw her face.

Darien: You too? I knew it.

Serena stuttered and excuse, but no one heard it.

Ami quietly said: I kind of hoped we could stay here a while after all

this business is done.

The other girls looked just as guilty.

Darien rolled his eyes at Ken: Women!

Ken laughed at the joke. They all struggeled from the baggage claim

to the taxis. They all piled into two seperate taxis and left for the hotel.

Serena squealed in delight.

Serena: Ohh! This place is beautiful! I love this place! I hope

we can stay for a long time.

Ami instructed to everyone: Why don't we all go to sleep first? I

don't think we shoud do anything until we get 16 hours of sleep and catch

up on jet lag.

Rei: Good idea.

They eagerly signed in and got on the elavator. There were only

three rooms left. One room had three beds, the others had only two.

Mina spoke first: Why doesn't Serena and Darien go to the room with

two beds. Then, me, Ami, and Rei can sleep in the room with three beds. Lita

and Ken can use the last room. Okay?

All: Okay.

Lita and Ken went to their room and started unpacking. Lita took

the pink dresser, and Ken took the blue one. After unpacking, Lita flopped

down on the bed.

Lita: I'm so tired! I can't believe I could be so tired.

Ken: Go to sleep. Right now, it's only 6:00 PM. I'll

I'll wake you up tommorow at 7:00. Okay?

Lita: What about you?

Ken: I'll just sit and watch you.

Lita: Don't you ever sleep?

Ken just smiled: Not unless I have to. Too much happens when I'm asleep.

Lita yawned: Okay then, good night.

She pulled off the green things that held her ponytail together. Her long

brown hair fell onto her shoulders. She immedietly crawled under the sheets

and fell asleep. Ken walked over and turned on the TV, keeping the volume

low, so he won't disturb Lita. He sat on the bed and started channel surfing.

In the other bedroom:

Mina: I get the top bunk!

Rei jumped into the top bunk: No, I got here first!

Ami was tired of listening to them fight: Will you two shush? I'm tired,

I just want to go to sleep!

Rei and Mina was surprised by this sudden outburst from Ami, and stopped

dead to stare at her.

Ami: What?

Rei: Mina, you can have the top one. I'll sleep in it tomorrow.

Mina: Sure.

The three girls flopped onto bed and almost fell asleep at the same time.

The last bedroom:

Luna: Serena fell asleep already? She hasn't unpacked yet!

Darien: Yeah, she's pretty tired. Poor girl, being a princess is too

hard on her.

Darien finished making the top drawer of the dresser into a bed. Luna

and Artemis gracefully stretched out on the soft towels.

Darien: I'm pretty tired too. I'm going to unpack tomorrow.

He practically ran to bed and jumped in.

A couple of hours later:

Lita opened her eyes, and heard a TV softly talking. She quietly sat up

a little and looked around, letting her eyes adjust to the darkness. The

TV was giving off very little light. On the screen, she could see cartoon

people walking and talking. They were a very wierd skin tone. Yellowish.

Lita looked at Ken and saw the outline of his body, still sitting up.

Lita: Ken?

Ken: Hmmm? Yeah, Lita?

Lita: Aren't you ever going to sleep?

Ken: I'm not sleepy.

Lita: What are you watching?

Ken: I think it's called The Simpsons.

Lita yawned. Ken looked over at her. Her hair was a mess and her clothes

looked wrinkled in the dim light.

Ken: Go back to sleep. It's only 1:30 in the morning. I'll wake you up

in five and a half hours.

Lita didn't need to protest, she was still pretty sleepy. She laid her

head on the fluffy pillow, and sunk into deep white clouds full of dreams.

7:00 AM:

Lita sat up and opened her eyes. The curtains were fluttering in the

morning wind, sometimes filtering just a bit of sunlight in. She delicately

stretched her arm and gave a huge yawn. She looked over to where Ken was

sitting last night and saw he finally fell asleep. He looked so adorable,

sleeping in his boxers and a jersey. His hair was totally tosseled, giving

him the look of a little boy. Lita silently walked over to Ken's bed, and

covered him with a blanket. Ken stirred a little, then went back to sleep.

Lita walked up to the dresser, and started unpacking. She tried to put

everything in three seperate drawers, leaving Ken only two. She took out a

pair of loose jeans and a V-neck tee shirt. She took those into the bathroom

to take a shower.

Darien woke to see Luna looking right at him. She was standing on his

stomach, and staring right at him.

Darien: Ahhh!

A little caught off guard and threw Luna across the room as he bolted

straight up.

Luna: EWWWOL!

Luckily, she landed on Artemis.

Artemis: UGGHGO.

Darien finally realized that it was Luna: Sorry, you just scared the heck

out of me.

Luna: No need to throw me to the moon!

Darien: You try waking up to a furry face staring at you! It's pretty

scary.

Artemis: Hey, I also have a furry face.

Darien: Sorry. I'm not a morning person.

Saying that reminded everyone of Serena. They all looked at Serena,

sleeping through the whole thing and drooling enough to make the room an

indoor pool.

Luna and Artemis jumped onto Serena's bed, bouncing it slightly.

Both cats: Serena! Ice cream!

Serena bolted upright and looked around. Some of the spit flying halfway

across the room.

Serena: Where?

Darien: Glad you woke up, meatball head!

Serena: Hey, you guys tricked me!

Luna: Get dresssed already, then we can go to a restraunt and eat!

At the mention of food, Serena rushed to do what she was told.

Ami was the first to wake, and looked at the other girls. Mina, who

was on the top bunk had a leg and an arm hanging off the side. Rei was

just barely waking up, and rubbed her eyes. Rei rushed to the bathroom, so

she could be the first to use the shower.

Ami: Mina!

Mina, starteled rolled off the bed, and with a THUD, landed on the plush

carpet.

Mina: What? How did I get here?

Ami tried to hide a giggle, and shrugged.
