So Neflyte’s still alive, Molly’s a Sailor Scout, and her mom remembers the Moon Kingdom! How can any of this change the show’s story line? Well how about the first two Rainbow Crystals for a start?

Oh it gets suggestive fast in this chapter (nothing all that descriptive - but thought I should warn you all). Does anyone like this fic?

Monday night, Molly and Neflyte lay on the floor relaxing in front of what was now their mansion’s fireplace, when Roghen came forward.

“Lord and Lady, Monlou has checked in. Zoicite has attacked and a young man has become the first shadow to be released. Zoicite however got the crystal and left before it could be retrieved from her. A new Scout has come forward and helped restore the young man to his normal self.”

Neflyte looked over at the youma. “Which Scout has come back?”

“Sailor Jupiter. Her true identity is Lita Makoto.”

Molly looked up at her husband. “Oh, I know her. She’s the new girl at school I told you about. They say she was kicked out of her old school for fighting, and she protected Serena from some rough bullies on the way to school this morning before Monlou could intercede.”

“That does sound just like Senshi Princess of Jupiter. She always was the first to fist fight in order to protect the Moon Princess or any member of the royal court. Thank you, Roghen.” In the blink of an eye the couple was again alone. “So, now Zoicite has the first crystal. Life is about to get a little more precarious. We will have to do everything in our powers to get the other six. But that is a discussion for another time. I think that you have school in the morning, my beloved. Maybe we should see about slipping you into your bed at home.”

“First, I am home wherever we live. Second, I was hoping we could have a little fun before I go back to the humdrum routine.” Molly smiled as she got into his lap and kissed him passionately.

Neflyte knew that this was a bad time to ‘have a little fun’ as his Molly loved to call it. If he didn’t want her shamed or lost to him, then they couldn’t play that night. “You know this is the wrong time to play our games, love. You need your sleep, and you could get with child - we still have more than a year and a half to go before we can be legally wed in this life.”

Molly pouted, but she knew that he was right - Gods, how she wanted their daughter back. “At least tell me that you want to play as bad as I do.”

Neflyte casually ground himself against her, causing Molly to moan as she collapsed forward onto his chest. “I don’t think I have to say it, now do I?”

Molly simply shook her head as she felt him put her into a deep sleep. Once he knew she was fast asleep, Neflyte took her to her home during the week. Sleep was going to be hard for him to find without her in their bed until Friday night, yet this was how it had to be.

On the weekends and breaks they were man and wife in their mansion. They did everything together, and everything that he once called his had become theirs. He had begun saying such since she agreed to be his again. Even the company he owned was hers as well - though the paperwork to make it truly so could not be done legally until she became sixteen and they were wed.

* * * * * * * *

That week was a blur for the couple and the team. Lita was formally introduced to Molly and Neflyte, and given the couple’s unusual story.

Though they planned on getting married soon after Molly’s sixteenth birthday, for now everyone agreed that the engagement was better left a secret. However, Molly’s ‘secret’ engagement was quickly common knowledge at Crossroads Jr. High (no thanks to a snooping and jealous Melvin, who overheard her and Serena talking).

Instead of the shame and snickers the Scouts and Neflyte had worried would come, Molly became more popular for it. She was the only girl in school who had a guy that was willing to wait over a year and a half for her to come of age - though even Molly and Serena had successfully kept his identity a secret.

Even Ms. Haruna was easier on the class after word got around the school - for most of that week at any rate.

Friday was a different matter. “All right, class. These are the three essay questions I want you to work on over the weekend. All of the information should be in your notes.”

Added with the questions were two pages of math, a page of Kanji, and a poem to write. The easy train had obviously left their classroom.

Walking out of school, Serena moaned. “Man, Ms. Haruna went on overkill with the homework this weekend! And we’re supposed to go shopping tomorrow with the girls! My folks will never let me go with all of this!”

“Hey, Maxfield has to work late tonight and I’m staying at mom’s until he comes to pick me up. We can get most of it done before then! How about it? Do we dare to actually do homework without being asked to?” Molly grinned as she winked at the Scout leader.

“Why not? That will definitely get mom off of my back for a few days … maybe! Let’s go!” Serena and Molly giggled as they rushed off towards Molly’s old house.

At the Cherry Hill Temple, Lita was getting acquainted with the other Scouts while Luna filled them in on what she learned from mission control. As always Raye started her argument about how bad a choice Serena was for leader, this time pinching Amy into agreeing with her. But, Lita stood up for Serena. Luna called their missing leader on the communicator.

“Hi, hi!” Serena chirped as Molly laughed in the background.

“Nice opening, oh mighty leader.” Serena shot Molly a dirty look as Lita came over the communicator. “Hey Serena and Molly, listen to me. We’re all over at the temple, and Luna got the buzz on some heavy Negaverse stuff. Why don’t the two of you come over?”

“Sounds like a meeting Neflyte should be in on, but he’s stuck at work late tonight,” Molly said.

A sudden pinging alarm sounded as they neared a quiet hillside graveyard - going the less public route to avoid anymore eavesdropping Melvin types (really to avoid Melvin himself - but who was going to tell?). The sound was coming from Serena’s backpack.

“Hang on, everyone. Luna, why is the Crescent Moon Wand giving off an alarm?” Serena warily asked.

Luna excitedly took over the communicator. “Serena, that’s the Rainbow Crystal Alert! The Wand has an alarm that reacts to the Rainbow Crystals. The homing device within it must be responding to a hidden crystal the Negaverse is tracking! Where are you?”

Molly looked around a moment. “We’re about halfway to my mom’s house. Right now we’re standing outside of Hillside Memorial Cemetery.”

Instead of waiting for the others, Molly and Serena went in and walked around the cemetery to see if they could at least see what was happening before the rest got there. They used the wand as their guide, the sound from it slowly becoming louder and louder. Soon they come upon Zoicite hovering above a priest!

“Now, to retrieve the Rainbow Crystal that’s going to waste inside you.” Zoicite pulled out what was once Neflyte’s Star Crystal. “Welcome to the Negaverse, padre.”

“Ahh!” The priest screamed as the orange Rainbow Crystal was activated within his chest.

Molly recognized the stone in an instant. “That’s Neflyte’s Star Crystal! Zoicite must have found out where the Rainbow Crystal is! We have to help that man!”

“Right Molly! Can’t wait for the others this time. Think you’re ready for a fight?” Serena glanced over to see Molly give a determined nod. “Then let’s go! Moon Prism Power!”

“Solaris Power!”

In moments the girls became the champions of justice - Sailor Moon and Sailor Solaris. Moon yelled out, “Stop right there!”

“What now?” Zoicite was ready to get back to Beryl with the second Rainbow Crystal.

“You’re not getting that Crystal as sure as I am Sailor Moon!”

Solaris came forward with the air of strength she never had as ‘ordinary’ Molly. “In the name of Solaris, I will see to it you will not hurt good people again!”

“Well, I hope you’re up for a fight, Sailor Wimps. At last, the second crystal is mine!” The crystal moved from the priest and he began to turn into the Shadow Warrior he had once been. But, instead of heading straight for Zoicite, the crystal sailed high into the air.

“The crystal’s flying away! Solaris, see if you can find it while I deal with Zoicite and help the priest!” Moon called out.

“Okay, but be careful, Sailor Moon!” And with that Solaris ran deeper into the cemetery. But Zoicite too left to search for the crystal, from the air after ordering the warrior to destroy Sailor Moon.

In his office at Stanton Imports and Exports, Maxfield Stanton stared out the huge window behind his desk. ‘Something is wrong, and Molly is in the thick of it. I know that being a Scout puts her in dangerous situations, but she’s still my love. I’d better make sure she’s all right.’

“Rory, I’m leaving you in charge while I go check on Molly. Hold all of my calls, and make certain that no one enters my office until I get back,” Neflyte said into his intercom as he changed into his usual battle attire. Of course all of the staff on this floor were youmas, as Neflyte didn’t trust average humans as easily as he did the Scouts and Molly.

* * * * * * * *

Solaris ran around headstone after headstone in her desperate search for the Orange Rainbow Crystal. Instead of the crystal she found her fiancé, Neflyte, looking at her in worry. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Zoicite found the Orange Rainbow Crystal within a priest here in the cemetery. When she went after it, the Moon Wand sent off an alarm. She got it out of him, but the crystal flew away. Sailor Moon told me to find it while she deals with the Shadow Warrior and Zoicite. So far, no luck finding it.” Solaris felt like breaking down, because she didn’t want to fail in her first fight.

Neflyte could feel her anxiety, but also knew there was a job that needed to be done. “Then let’s see if two against one can find it faster than one against one.”

Solaris smiled and nodded as they separated and started the search again. It took a few minutes, but Neflyte found it in a patch of grass. Unfortunately, Zoicite found him at the same time.

“So the traitor survived after all? Give me that Rainbow Crystal, or I’ll finish of the job of executing you!”

“Spare me your hollow threat, Zoicite. I have finally remembered which side I am supposed to be fighting for, so returning to my true duties is not being a traitor. And you were never any threat against me,” Neflyte growled. He worried what the Scouts would think if they saw him talking to Zoicite from afar. It could ruin his hopes for a happy life with Molly.

Zoicite smiled sweetly. “You know, bringing back that crystal might get you a pardon, Neflyte. I mean, do you expect me to believe for a moment that you’d rather live among these pathetic weaklings? Especially that crybaby you fell for. She left you and ran for her safe bed, you know. I’ll bet she hasn’t even given you a second thought.”

“Stuff it, Zoicite! You didn’t stay for the battle. Molly remained at my side and convinced the Scouts to help save my life. And the only pardon I’m interested in is from the Moon Princess!”

Zoicite glared down on Neflyte. “Give me that crystal!”

“Not on your life, Negatrash!” Solaris yelled out as she took her place at Neflyte’s side, quickly followed by all of the Scouts.

“Neflyte has proven himself to be the honorable man we all knew long ago!” Mercury spoke next. Mars took a step forward. “That means he has all of us to count on, just as we know that we can count on him!”

Sailor Moon laid a hand on his shoulder to emphasize her point. “And with battles like this one under his belt, I have no doubt that the Moon Princess will give him the pardon that we all know he deserves.”

Zoicite started to fade away, seeing that she was out numbered as well as out powered. “Queen Beryl may not like losing the crystal, but I’m sure that she will want to know of your recovery, Neflyte. See ya soon.”

Uh oh! Zoicite is being a tee total -insert any dissing comment you like here-.
How is Beryl going to take that Neflyte is still alive?
Will that change the storyline to X out Molly’s love?
Wait and see!
