It was the day of the prom and everyone was at Neflite’s getting ready. The girls were going haywire about their hair. With all the action that had happened, the girls totally forgot to make hair appointments and now they were stuck. Thanks to the four sisters and Quartet they agreed to do the girls hair in french twists with tendrils lying loose.

It was now six and the guys and Amara waited for the girls at the bottom of the grand staircase in the main hall with wrist corsages. Also waiting with them were the sisters, Trio and Quartet. Most of the guys wore black tuxedos expect for Taiki and Malachite. Darien was Tuxedo Mask without the cape, hat or mask. Taiki wore a gray tux and Malachite wore a white tux. Amara wore a navy blue tuxedo.

“Cheater,” Jedite said, “going as Tuxedo Mask.”

“Hey, I finally have a use for this tuxedo besides being the notorious super hero,” Darien joked.

“I hate to break this up. But I think the girls are coming,” Taiki said.

The first one to walk down was Michelle. She wore a burgundy spaghetti strap dress with gloves going above the elbow. Amara greeted her with a corsage.

“Every time you wear a dress you become even more graceful,” Amara said. “And since you had no date…I figured in being your date. Besides I got to keep up my reputation of looking a guy.”

Michelle smiled. She turned back to the stairs.

Hotaru was next. She wore an elbow sleeve pink dress to the knee with wrist gloves. Yaten held out his hand for her when she neared the bottom and handed her a corsage.

“You look stunning,” Yaten said, placing a corsage on her wrist.

“Thank you,” she blushed.

“Heads up,” Tigers Eye said.

Before anyone could do anything more Raye descended. She wore a black and fuchsia dress. The top was black velvet and the skirt was fuchsia satin. Jedite greeted her, holding out his hand. “Now you are stunning,” he gasped in awe.

“Well, I never thought I’d see the day you wearing a tuxedo,” Raye said.

“Well, now you have.” Jedite placed the corsage on her wrist. They both turned to see the next one come down.

Behind Raye was Amy. She wore an elbow sleeve, light pink dress below the knee. Zoisite was in complete awe at the change in her. She was always dressed casually. Zoisite greeted her with a bow and held out his hand. It reminded him of when he first met Princess Amy back on the Moon.

“You look lovely,” Zoisite said.

“Thank you,” she said. “You don’t look too bad yourself.

Lita was the next to come down. She wore a forest green strapless dress to the ankles. The top was velvet and the skirt was satin. Her brown hair had little stars all through it. Seiya was amazed at how pretty she was. He greeted her with bow.

“You look wonderful,” Seiya said. “I have something for you.” He held out a corsage. She gracefully took it placed it on. When she had it on he held out his hand for her.

As Seiya clasped Lita's hand, Mina descended. Her dress was black velvet with an ivory white ruffle skirt. The skirt was high on one side of the leg but reached to her ankles on the other side. Malachite bowed to her when she reached the bottom and took her hand.

“After everything that has happened, I don’t think I could come up with the words at how beautiful you are,” Malachite said.

“Well, how about just saying ‘you look beautiful’,” she said.

“You look beautiful.” He placed a corsage on her wrist.

“Wait until you see Molly.”

Before Mina’s corsage was on, Serena descended. Her dress was knee-length, white ruffled sleeves and skirt and a black top. Darien bowed to her.

“Hey, Meatball Head,” Darien teased.

“Hey, muffin,” she said when Darien placed a corsage on her.

“Where’s Molly?” Neflite asked.

“She’s coming in a minute,” Trista said as she came up from behind. Everyone turned to her.

“How did you get down here?” Yaten asked surprised.

“I came from the back stairwell in the kitchen,” she answered.

Trista was wearing a purple dress to the knee. The sleeves went to the elbows with small little bows on either side. She wore matching gloves. Taiki walked over to her. He bowed slightly and held out a corsage.

When she had her corsage on she went to the bottom of the stairs. “Ladies and Gentlemen,” she announced. “Presenting the lady of the evening, Miss Molly Baker, soon to be Stanton.” She swung her arms up the stairs. Everyone’s head turned up to see Molly at the top.

She wore a baby blue dress, going below the knee. A matching sash went around her slim waist. Molly walked slowly down the stairs. To make her hair stand out, little golden hair chains were woven all through her hair. Neflite was in complete awe. She had never looked so beautiful.

When she reached the bottom of the stairs, he quickly got over his shock and bowed down to her, extending his hand to her.

“You look gorgeous.”

“Thank you,” she blushed.

“Ok, let's get going before the night is over,” Trista said.

“You guys go, I’m taking Molly in a limo,” Neflite said.

“A limo?” Everyone said. Molly gasped.

“Well I own a limo now. Molly is the star of this group. May as well let her feel like one too.”

Everyone walked outside with their arms linked with their dates.

* * * * * * * *

As everyone assembled outside the school, Molly and Neflite were the last ones to arrive. Everyone there was dumbfound when Molly came in by limo.

Everyone walked into the gym. The scouts went down the aisle, arms linked with their dates, as they did when they came down the grand staircase at Neflite’s. There were low giggles when Amara and Michelle walked down. But everyone watched with silent awe as the others came in with their good- looking men, especially when Molly and Neflite entered the room.

* * * * * * * *

In the depths of the Negaverse, Sailor Lead Crow and Sailor Aluminium Siren were trying to find a way to crash the prom. Crashing the prom would ruin the scouts with the their fun.

“How should we go? Should we go as guests or as teachers?” Lead Crow asked.

“I was thinking more of the lines of using someone else to annoy them,” Aluminium Siren said. “Like, Mrs. Baker.”

“Mrs. Baker. Why her?”

“As Queen Beryl said, Neflite hates her. She had her daughter raped for money. And since Rubeus tried getting Sailor Venus and got himself injured in the process, it might be better to use someone who hasn’t tangled with the scouts.”

“The queen will probably hate this.”

“I know she will, but better Mrs. Baker than us getting hurt by those brats.”

“Let’s go then. The prom is starting.”

Both women disappeared.

They reappeared in Jenna’s home. Jenna looked up from reading the newspaper to see the two women from the Negaverse.

“What the hell do you want?” Jenna demanded, putting the paper down.

“Would you like to see your daughter?” Lead Crow taunted.

“Why?”

“Well I’m sure you know tonight is the prom for her school. With our help we can slip you in,” Aluminium Siren offered.

“The only people allowed at the school are students and their guests,” Jenna said as her anger rose. She did not want anything to do with the women.

“Not if you come with us,” Lead Crow said.

“Do you want to see your daughter or not?” Aluminium Siren asked.

“Yes.”

That was all they needed. Sailor Lead Crow walked over to the woman and placed grabbed her arm. With a snap of their fingers the three women were outside the school, dressed in formal attire. Sailor Lead Crow used a spell to make people think that they were supposed to be there. They walked into the school just as the dance started. No one asked any questions. Once they walked into the gym, they saw the scouts and their dates dancing. They went and sat at one of the tables. Lead Crow and Aluminium Siren hoped that Jenna would make a move towards Molly.

* * * * * * * *

During the dance, there many different circles, indicating who were friends with who. Occasionally, Melvin and his date, a young woman who was new in Tokyo, would dance in the circle with the scouts. Every so often, Molly wanted to take a rest as her feet were hurting and Neflite would pull away and escort her to their table and then, at Molly's insistence, return to the circle.

At one point when Molly was sitting out, a couple guys from Christoff's Private School for Boys walked over to her and started flirt with her. Neflite noticed this right away but at first decided to see if she could handle it. When the guys wouldn’t leave her alone Neflite's irritation turned to anger and he decided to intervene.

“Excuse me,” Neflite said.

“Neflite,” Molly said in relief. These guys were starting to get to her. They would not take the hint that she wanted to be left alone.

“Is there a problem?”

“I don’t think it would be any of your business,” one of the young men said. He was tall, though, not as tall as Neflite. He wore a beige tuxedo. His companion, who was shorter, was wearing a brown tuxedo with a brown tie.

“I make it my business when it comes to my friends.”

“Well…” the taller one said. But before he could say anything further, the DJ made an announcement.

“Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen but could all Cross Roads Graduates please assemble in the next room for the choosing of the Prom King and Queen.”

Molly stood, “That includes me.” As she left to catch up with Serena and the others, Neflite glared at the two young men, who were flabbergasted. They had no idea Molly was a grad. When Neflite glared at them, his eyes started glowing but the young men weren’t sure if that is what they saw. When the Cross Roads grads left, the rest of the scout group came over to Neflite.

“Too bad you Starlights left. You would have been able to join in the graduation activities.”

“Oh shut up Jedite,” Yaten said. “Our mission was over, so we had to leave. We didn’t expect to return. Neflite, I noticed the beginnings of an argument.”

“Yeah,” Neflite said, then glared at the boys again. “So where are you from?”

“Neflite,” Raye interrupted, “they’re from Christoff’s Private School for Boys.”

“So they’re graduates?” Seiya asked.

“Yes,” Raye said. “Jake Postine and Alec Colsav, if I were you, I’d turn around and go back to the other side of the gym. You don’t want Neflite to be angry.”

Without hesitation the boys left, knowing how angry Raye could get. When they were gone Neflite stiffened.

“What is it?” Trista asked.

“That bitch is here?” Neflite hissed. “Jenna?”

“Oh my,” Zoisite gasped.

“If she thinks…”

“Neflite, don’t,” Raye said, grabbing his arm just as he was about to go over. “If you draw her attention, Molly’s night will be ruined.”

Still angry, Neflite looked at Raye and then to the others to see them nod in agreement. He finally nodded in defeat.

“Raye, is there another prom king and queen voting?” Jedite asked

“Yes. It’s an American custom that has been adopted. When Cross Roads comes back, the DJ will announce for the Christoff’s Private School for Girls and Boys to go.”

“In the meantime, I’d like to know what the Negaverse is going to do.”

“Jedite, we know their next move. We just don’t know when,” Trista said. “But I suggest you not mention anything more.”

“Why?” Taiki asked.

“Well, for one thing we are in a public place, and two, here come the girls,” Zoisite said.

Everyone turned to see the scouts heading in their direction. When they were close enough, Molly sped up her steps and went directly in the arms of her love.

“Molly?” Neflite asked.

“I just want a hug.”

“Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen,” the DJ interrupted again. “Now that Cross Roads has returned, could all grads from Christoff’s Private School please assemble in the next room for the choosing of their Prom King and Queen.”

“Later, guys,” Raye waved.

* * * * * * * *

When everyone was back, the DJ asked everyone to be seated. Jedite was about to ask what was everyone waiting for but his answer was answered for him when four people walked up to the DJ.

“Now, I’d like thank everyone for waiting patiently as we had everything prepared. First of all I’d like to introduce to you last year’s Kings and Queens.” He waved his hand to one side. “Alice Flitz and Jason Twinkque from Cross Roads and,” he waved his hand to the other side, “Karen Slone and John Wecek from Christoff’s Private School.”

There was applause when they walked over to the microphone, which was placed in the center of the stage.

“Thank you everyone,” Alice said. “I first of all like to say it’s nice to be back here. It’s only been a year for me but it seems like forever. I am here to present this year’s Cross Roads Queen.”

“And I am present this year’s Cross Roads king,” Jason said.

“Well since the King is higher than Queen, I shouldn’t need to continue down that road.” Her comment made everyone chuckle. “This year’s Prom Queen is…Molly Baker!” Alice said.

As the cheers started Molly’s face turned white. She couldn’t believe it. She never thought anything like that would ever happen. She knew Melvin would have voted for her but who else voted for her. She didn’t think she had that much of a popularity.

“Way to go, Molly,” the scouts said

When Molly went to stand she started to feel woozy. Neflite was instantly at her side for support. Neflite placed his hands on her waist to steady her. When she had her balance, she went up on stage. Alice placed a tiara on her head and handed her a gift bag. When she turned and faced the audience she saw Lita whistling and it made her blush.

“This year’s Prom King is…Melvin Gurio!” Jason said. Again there were cheers.

The scouts were flabbergasted at seeing their geeky friend be picked. Melvin was also just as surprised. He slowly stood and went up on stage to receive his crown and gift bag.

“Now we’ll hand it over to Christoff’s,” Jason announced.

“Thank you Alice and Jason,” Karen said. “As Alice said, it is nice to be back. I am here to present this years Christoff’s Private School Queen.”

“And I am present this year’s Christoff’s king,” John said.

“This year’s Prom Queen is…Rachel Hino!”

“Way to go Raye,” the scouts said over the cheers. Raye calmly stood and walked on stage to receive her tiara and gift bag.

“Lastly, this year’s Prom King is…Alec Colsav.” The cheers weren’t as long as the others but it was enough that Alec was happy. He went up and received his crown and gift bag.

The new royals stood on stage, with the previous royals in the middles. The Cross Roads were on the right and Christoff’s were on the left.

“Ladies and Gentlemen,” Alice said.

“Give a hand to…” Jason said.

“This year’s new…” said Karen.

“Prom Kings and Queens,” John finished. Applause was heard from all around the gym

“Now it is time for the Kings and Queens to dance,” the former Cross Roads Queen said.

“Half way through the song, we’ll announce when others may dance as well,” the former Christoff’s King said.

“The royal song is ‘I will always love you’ by Whitney Houston,” the former Cross Roads King announced.

As the song began, the lights dimmed. The new royals walked off stage and began to dance. As they danced, Raye was getting irritated at Alec. He kept trying to ask questions about Neflite. While Melvin on the other hand was quite happy, because Molly had found happiness in spite all that had happened to her.

Half way through, the former Christoff’s Queen went up to the microphone. “You may now dance.”

Out of the scout group, Serena and Darien were the only ones who went up and danced. When the song was over, Alice made another announcement.

“We are going to play another waltz. This one is called ‘Everything I do, I do it for you’ by Bryan Adams.”

As the song started, Zoisite came up to Neflite. “May I dance with your lovely fiancée?”

“If she doesn’t mind,” Neflite said.

“Doesn’t mind what?” Molly asked as she came over.

“Would you like to dance?” Zoisite asked as he bowed to her in a gentlemanly fashion and held out his hand. He figured she was going to reject him but to his surprise she clasped his hand with a smile.

“I’d be delighted,” she said softly. Zoisite straightened and led her to the dance floor.

Yaten went over to Neflite after Molly and Zoisite were on the dance floor.

“When do you plan on leaving?”

“When ever Molly wants to.”

After a few more dances, Molly began to tire she wanted to leave. Neflite bowed to her whim. As Molly and Neflite began to leave, the others decided to call it quits as well. While the girls were doing their voting, Hotaru had decided they wanted to give everyone a surprise. Meanwhile, over on the other side of the room, Jenna was very happy to see her daughter happy. She had felt remorse at what she did to Molly and realized that she shouldn’t have gotten involved with the Negaverse.

Most importantly, she wished she could turn back the clock and fix Molly’s problem. The Negaverse women beside her were shocked. They had hoped there would trouble. They knew Neflite saw Jenna but he didn’t react. He glared and that was it. They were very disappointed that their plan had failed. When Molly was crowned Queen, they left returned when the scouts left.

The scouts were nearing the parking lot when they heard a voice.

“Well, well, well,” Sailor Tin Cat said.

The scouts looked up to Sailor Tin Cat and Sailor Aluminium Siren hovering in the air. Jenna was standing in the parking lot, far enough away that she could not hear what was going on.

“What are you doing here?” Serena demanded.

Neflite grabbed Molly’s hand and pulled her behind him and placed a small shield around her. She was scared.

Amara jumped up and did a flying kick, kicking Sailor Aluminium Siren in the face. During this time Amara turned into Super Sailor Uranus and the others turned to scouts as well.

Sailor Tin Cat was about to attack but a fog formed, created by Mercury’s bubbles. When Jenna reached Sailor Tin Cat, she saw the Sailor Scouts, for the first time. Luckily for the scouts, the woman didn’t see them transform.

Molly gasped as she saw her mother run up. She was shocked to see her mother side with the enemy.

“Venus Love Chain Encircle!”

“Jupiter Thunder Clap Zap!”

The two powers combined knocked the three women down.

“Sailor Moon!” Jupiter yelled.

“Way ahead of you!” Sailor Moon yelled back. She swung out her Moon Scepter preparing for the attack. The three women were just starting to get up when they heard Sailor Moon start her power.

“Moon Spiral Heart…” But before she could Sailor Tin Cat grabbed Jenna and the three women vanished.

“Nothing new for them,” Sailor Moon said as she turned back to normal.

“What the hell were they doing?” Jedite asked.

“Who knows? But one thing's for sure, Beryl didn’t send them,” Malachite said.

“How can you tell?” Mina asked.

“Well, Mrs. Baker was with them. And did you see the way Tin Cat grabbed Mrs. Baker? It was as if she was protecting Beryl’s new investment. If Mrs. Baker is Beryl’s new investment, Beryl would have been very angry if something happened to Mrs. Baker.”

“Molly, are you ok?” Serena asked.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” she said.

Neflite looked at her and saw through the lie. She was visibly shaking. But he kept his mouth shut, since she was trying to be brave.

“Let’s get out of her before the students show up from the gym and the Negaverse returns,” Trista suggested.

“Good idea. Let’s head home,” Raye said.

* * * * * * * *

Graduation Day was now upon the scouts as they were getting ready. Before going to the school, where both Christoff’s Private School and Cross Roads would be involved, the scouts had decided to do a group photo in the new garden created by Neflite. The Inner Scouts were able to invite all of their friends and family. When all the pictures were taken, they were all beginning to get ready to leave.

“I can’t believe this,” Serena said. “No more books, tests, *detention*.”

“Yeah, no more failing subjects or *throwing* tests in my face,” Darien teased.

“Darien, I believe you will miss it,” Mina said.

“Why’s that, darling?” Malachite asked.

“I know that when she did past tests, instead of throwing them, she threw herself. He was always surprised when she did it.”

“I’m just glad it is over. Though, I met the man of my dreams,” Molly smiled. She snuggled closer to Neflite.

“What is happening afterwards?” Katsy asked.

“It is a surprise,” Hotaru said.

“Well, we better get going,” Mrs. Aino said.

During the graduation ceremony some of the scouts were awarded awards. Both Amy and Melvin were given honor awards, Lita received an athletic award and Raye had won an award for best team leadership skills. Mina was given an award for the best Volleyball player and Molly received one for having the best singing voice, which no one knew she had until she had began in Cross Roads High.

Amy was Valedictorian for Cross Roads and Raye was Valedictorian for Christoff’s. Even though, Michelle had already graduated a few years ago, she was asked to play her violin at the graduation and Molly, nervous as she was, sang beautifully. Neflite had tears coming down his face, when Molly sang. It was the first time she ever sang in front of a huge audience.

An hour after the graduation, all of the grads and their dates were at Takina Bowl.

“It’s now over,” Serena said, all excited.

“And the look you gave when Molly sang,” Jedite teased. “It’s better than you.”

“Oh shut up.” Serena stuck out her tongue. “At least I can bowl.”

“So Hotaru, what is the surprise?” Zoisite asked.

“You’ll see.”

“Any one seen Mol?” Mina asked.

“I would say she's with her man,” Jedite joked.

“Is it just me or are you in an aggravating mood?” Trista asked.

“I’m not answering that question,” Jedite said. He saw Raye come up behind him. She was about to slap his head but he ducked.

“When we’re done here, we’ll be going somewhere private,” Hotaru said.

“I would really love to know what this place is,” Serena whined.

Mina thought for a moment. Where would Hotaru be able to take everyone that is private? She didn’t have a lot of connections. After a few moments, Mina snapped her head up, clapping her hands, getting everyone’s attention. “I got it. Enchantment Plaza!”

Hotaru smiled.

“What is Enchantment Plaza?” Zoisite asked.

“It is a really fun place,” Raye grinned.

Hotarus shrugged as her surprise was now revealed. “A friend of my father’s gave me the key to the place for tonight. There we can go swimming, play games like volley ball, basketball and tennis even.”

“Why is the school using it?” Malachite asked.

“The teachers didn’t like the idea,” Hotaru said.

“Dar, I was wondering if I could have a word with you?” Serena asked. She grabbed Darien’s sleeve, pulling him outside the bowling alley.

Once outside, Darien asked, “Meatball Head?”

“I’m scared. I’m not home tonight and something could happen.”

“Mina is here and she would know the moment the plan is set to happen.” Darien pulled Serena close, resting his chin on her head.

“I know but I’m still scared. I’m losing my childhood home.”

“I know, but we are here.” Darien’s calm voice always helped Serena to calm down. Before he could say anything more, Serena stood on her toes and kissed him. Of course Darien expected this. Suddenly they heard someone clear their throat.

They jumped away from each other. To their surprise it was only Molly and Neflite. Molly was chuckling and Neflite just smiled.

“Molly…how…I…” Serena babbled.

“Sorry,” Molly blushed.

“It’s just you did it to us and we gave you a pay back,” Neflite said.

“Has anyone figured out the surprise yet?” Molly asked.

“Mina figured it out. We are going to Enchantment Plaza,” Serena said.

“Cool. I always wanted to go there,” Molly said.

“Well we better get inside before we’re found out here,” Darien said.

“You’re right,” Neflite agreed. The two couples walked inside.

Before too long the grads left and the scouts went to Enchantment Plaza, there they met up with the sisters, Quartet and Trio. They swam, played board games, volleyball, badminton and tennis. Most of the time Neflite won the tennis matches. But it was still fun anyway. It was well after dawn when everyone went home, exhausted. This was the first night the scouts had a break from the Negaverse. Though there was a small thorn, the night of the prom, it wasn’t enough for alarm. It felt really good to the scouts to finally act like regular humans for one night.
