Ok, ok, I realise my last one (from about 2 hours agao) wasnt all that great,
and that it was a rather typical and boring fic. But I will not rest till I
write a decent fic! Just cause Im lazy and dont bother to put apostrophies and
such dont mean Im a bad writer. Or the fact I use bad grammer when speaking.
~.~; Darm Shampoo getting into my head again, not letting me talk right. Most
of my stories are a one-shot deal, but the last one has a sequel in progress,
and this one has the chance for a sequel if I can ever stop writing lemons and
write a decent story for once..so here goes, another boring story by me. 


Sailor MoonBeam 

[ *=thinking]


	"Whee! Higher! Push me higher!" Rini squealed joyfully as Darien pushed her
swing higher and higher. Serena smiled to herself from the nearby bench.
	*It's no wonder they get along so well. They must have a great relationship
in the future. Me and that little spore on the other hand...*
	"Serena, wanna go get some ice cream?" Darien's voice snapped Serena out of
her own world and back into reality.
	"Sure, Muffin. I'm always up for ice cream!" Serena jumped up and grabbed
Darien's hand. She has already dragged him a few yards towards the diner when
she felt something tugging on her dress. She looked down and saw Rini frowning
up at her. *Why does she have to tag along?* "Oh, Rini, you coming too?" 
	Rini stuck her tounge out at Serena.
	"Of course she's coming, Meatball-head, You weren't thinking about leaving
our daughter alone in the park, were you? Now what kind of a mother are you?"
Darien teased. 
	"I'm not her mom yet! She's not even supposed to be born yet!
	Rini started crying and Darien put her up on his shoulders. "Oh come on now,
Princess, you know she doesnt mean that. Your mother loves you very very much.
No matter how spoiled she acts. She was used to getting her way back on the
Moon. She was the spoiled only child, just like you."
	A pair of jealous blue eyes watched the trio walk away. *Damn right she was
spoiled. But she wasnt the only child. Just the only wanted one...* The figure
sneered at the ally wall and dissapeared into the shadows. 
	Darien sighed as Serena and Rini started pigging out on their ice cream.
"Like mother like daughter.." he said to himself and smiled. 
	Serena looked up. "What was that?"
	"He said that youre a pig" Rini giggled.
	"Am not!"
	"Are too!"
	"Am not!"
	"Are t..."
	"I said you both eat too much. So just be quiet and stop fighting!" Darien
interupted. "I'm sick of you two fighting so much. Why cant you just get
along?"
	Serena and Rini were quiet, but under the table they had started kicking each
other. This soon stopped when Darien let out a small scream after being kicked
in the shin by Serena. "Serena, Rini, stop this NOW!!" The two girls gazed
sheepishly across the table at each other. 
	"Sorry Darien," they mumbled.
	The continued eating in silence. Suddenly, a girl slid into the booth next to
Serena. All three looked up, surprised. 
	"Hello, sister dearest," the girl said to Serena. 
	"Sister? What are you talking about? I have a little brother, but I dont have
any sisters."Serena gave a questioning glance to Darien, who just shrugged. 
	"No, Serena, I'm your twin...from the Moon Kingdom. I'm Marina." she
answered.
	"I do see a resemblance. In fact, except for that pink in your hair, Marina,
you two look exactly alike," Darien said thoughtfully.
	"Yeah, you even dress alike," Rini comented, pointing out their almost
identical dresses. "You gotta be sisters."
	"But..but..but I thought I was the only child!" Serena took a bite of her hot
fudge sundae. 
	Marina shook her head. "No, just the only wanted child. You were born first,
and there was only need for one Princess. Only one of us could have become the
Queen. That is of course, if the Moon Kingdom had survived. The older one, as
always, was chosen. I was taken to live with a poor family in Mama's kingdom.
When the kingdom was destroyed, and Mama sent you, Prince Darien, and your
court to the future, to now, she secretly sent me too." Marina paused to take
a bite of Serena's sundae. Serena was in too much of a shock to notice or
care. Marina continued her story, "All of you were sent here to Tokyo, but I
was sent to California, in America."
	"Then how did you know about us? Or to find us here?" Darien wondered aloud. 
	"Oh, that," Marina blushed slightly. "I have a gift. I'm psychic. You are
too, Serena."
	"Me? No I'm not."
	"Yes you are, you just don't know how to use the gift. Same with little Rini
here."
	"But how can that be?" Rini's look of confusion matched Serena"s.
	"Our whole family was. You, Mama, me..it's some sort of family tradition or
something like that. I didn't lose my memory like the rest of you, so I still
remembered how to use it. So I tuned into you, and I found you guys here. I
can see into the future, too."
	Serena looked slightly unnerved. "You uhh..you don't know everything about
us, do you?" She shot a nervous glance across the table at Darien and Rini.
	Marina giggled. "No, not everything, but if youre talking about being you
being a Sailor Scout, and Darien being Tuxedo Mask, I do know that. And Rini
is a Scout, too, just not yet."
	Serena, Darien, and Rini looked sick.
	"I'm a Sailor Scout?!"
	"Yup. Sailor ChibiMoon. But that wont be for a while. Don't worry, actually,
I'm a scout, too." She grinned. "Sailor MoonBeam, at your service!" 
	"Sailor MoonBeam!? Sailor ChibiMoon?! But I thought all the Scouts had
already appeared. How did we get more?" Serena asked, still not quite grasping
the concept of having a sister.
	"Well you were obviously wrong, like always." Rini's comment got herself a
kick in the leg from Serena. 
	"Ok, so let me get this straight. You are Serena's sister from the Moon
Kingdom, you're here now, and you're a Sailor Scout, right?"
	 "Thats right. I also know about you and Serena in the future," she giggled
evilly. Darien and Serena both blushed a deep shade of red. "You just better
be good to my big sister and my little niece."

	"Help! Help me please!!" 
	"Dont worry, Molly, I'll save you!" Melvin ran at the huge monster that was
sucking the energy out of Molly. He didnt see the tentacle coming at him till
it was too late, and his energy was being drained along with his red-haired
girlfriend. 
	"Hold it right there!" five female voices called out. 
	The monster looked up. "Huh? And who are you?"
	"We are the pretty sailor-suited fighters of love and justice! On behalf of
the Moon, we will punish you! Sailor Moon!"
	"Sailor Venus!"
	"Sailor Jupiter!"
	"Sailor Mars!"
	"Sailor Mercury!"
	"The Sailor Scouts!" they all shouted in unison. 
	The monster just yawned. "Yeah, Ok. Just wait over there while I drain these
kids.Then you can talk all..." he didnt finish as a red boot landed in his
mouth. 
	"Ha! Take that, you Nega-trash!" Sailor Moon shouted. Suddenly there was a
tentacle wrapping itself around her body. "Help! Hey guys, help me!!" 
	"Lets super-team this Nega-creep, "kay guys?" Jupiter suggested.
	"Right!" Mars, Mercury, and Venus shouted.
	"MARS FIRE...."
	"MERCURY BUBBLES...."
	"VENUS CRESCENT BEAM...."
	"JUPITER THUNDER...."
	The girls all attacked at once.
	"IGNIGHT!"
	"BLAST!"
	"SMASH!"
	"CRASH!"
	The four scouts watched as the monster weakened slightly, but was not hurt.
The only real reaction they got form him was that they got themselves into the
same predicament as Sailor Moon, Molly, and Melvin, all of which were very
much unconcious by this time. 
	"MOON BEAMS...SURROUND!!" an unfamiliar female voice yelled as sudden flashes
of bright white light surrounded the monster. The monster released his
captives as the moon beams engulfed  and diminished him. Everyone crowded
around Sailor Moon. 
	"Sailor Moon, are you alright?" Mars slapped her face a few times. Sailor
Moon muttered something. "I think shes coming to!"
	"What about Molly and Melvin?" Venus asked. 
	"They've survived worse NegaVerse attacks than this one. They should be ok
after a nice rest." Mercury concluded. 
	The Scouts looked around for the girl who had saved them. 
	"Hey, guys, lookin for me?" the voice asked from behind them. 
	Sailor Moon stood up and looked at the new scout. "M..Marina? Is that you?"
	"Yep! Sailor MoonBeam, at your service! But wheres Tuxedo Mask?" she asked.
	"Darien took Rini to the zoo today. So I guess he couldn't get here in time."
Sailor Moon answered. 
	"Umm...Sailor Moon, do you know this girl?" Mercury asked. 
	"Sure, but not now. Lets go back to my house, we'll tell you there." 

***

	The girls crowded into Serena's room with Luna and Artemis watching them
quietly from the window sill. 
	"So exactly who are you?" Lita asked Marina. 
	"My name is Marina. I'm Princess Serena's twin sister from the Moon Kingdom.
Mother gave me to a poor couple when I was born because there could only be
one future Queen. It was a lot easier than us having to fight it out when we
were older. One of us would have died. Momma didnt want that, so she kept the
oldest sister and sent me away. When you guys were sent here, I was sent to
America. I found Serena using my psychic skills. And so here I am." she
grinned.
	Mina, Lita, Amy, Raye, Luna and Artemis were all silent. Luna finally found
the ability to speak. "So you were sent here to help us fight the NegaVerse,
then?" 
	"I guess so. Im here to do whatever Im needed to do. If fighting the
NegaVerse is what I need to do, then thats what Ill do."
	Mina stretched out across Serena's bed, laying her head in Lita's lap."So,
Marina, do you have a boyfriend? What movie stars do you like? Are you going
to go to school with Serena? Are you going to live here?" 
	Marina laughed. "My, aren't you full of questions? The answers are no, lots,
yes, and yes. What about you guys? What do you like? And what are the people
at your school like? Are any of them smart? Im really looking foreward to an
intellectual challenge."
	Amy's eyes light up. "Oh, a challenge youre looking for, is it? I believe I
can provide you with that."
	"Yeah, Amy here is our little genius!" Serena said.
	"Oh, Im not a genius. I just study hard and do my best is all." Amy blushed.
	"Amy, dont be so modest. She was already accepted to study abroad in Germany.
And she won the Junior Chess tournament. Against Birdie, even." Raye piped up
from her spot on the floor next to Marina.
	"Why didn't you go to Germany? I would love to study there?" Marina asked
Amy. "And who is Birdie?"
	"She didnt go cause she loves us so much, huh, Amy?" Serena wrapped Amy in a
giant bear-hug. Amy giggled and nodded. 
	"Birdie was one of the sisters from the NegaMoon. Evil chicks. Tried to take
Rini and steal the Imperium Silver Crystal." Lita told Marina.
	"Yeah, and that Catsy seemed to like hurting my Chad..." Raye realized what
she had just said and blushed. 
	Marina noticed Raye's blushing. "Oohh..Raye, who is this Chad person? Your
boyfriend?" 
	Raye looked around nervously, blushing even more. "Uhh..no! No way! Hes just
a guy that works at Grandpas temple!" 
	"Suuure he is!" the other girls giggled. 
	"Incoming!!" the girls heard Darien yell as a small pink rocket came bursting
into the room and landed on Serena's bed. Rini bounced up and down on the bed,
knocking Lita, Mina, and Serena off. Darien laughed softly from the dorway
before walking in to kiss Serena. 
	"Hi, Muffin. I missed you. And you missed the debut of Sailor MoonBeam.
today," Serena smiled. 
	Darien looked at Marina, then back at Serena. "The NegaVerse again?" all the
girls nodded. Darien sighed. "Will they ever leave us alone?" 
	"I doubt it, Darien. I mean, if were needed in the future, too, there must be
evil there." Mina said logically. Darien nodded and sat on the floor by Marina
while Lita, Mina and Serena re-adjusted themselves on the bed with Rini. 
	"Marina, may I ask you something?" Luna looked down at her from the window
sill. Marina nodded. "Why is it that I can't seem to remember you from the
Moon Kingdom? I thought for sure we had recalled all of our memories by now."
	Artemis streched. "She's right. I don't remember you either. I don't remember
a thing about another baby Princess at all." 
	"Oh, but there was. I know everything about what happened back then. And I
know quite a bit about the future, too." Marina gazed around the room.
	"Yeah, she even knew about me and Serena with the..and the..." Darien and
Serena both blushed a bright shade of red. 
	"Of course I know about that. I also know about Diana."
	Everyone looked at her. "Diana?!"
	She nodded. "Diana is Rini's guardian cat of Crystal Tokyo, like Artemis is
Mina's, and Luna is Serena's. Actually, she's Luna and Artemis's kitten." Now
it was the cats turn to blush. Everyone else but Marina face-faulted. When the
group regained their sanity, Marina continued. "Diana will take place of
LunaBall, which basicaly serves only as a comminucator to Sailor Pluto, and as
a quick way to get out of trouble occasionally."
	"Sailor who??"
	"Another Scout," Marina answered.
	Luna noticed the LunaBall wasn't around. "Where is that awful thing, anyway?"
LunaBall promptly bounced off of her head and landed in Rini's lap. Luna
"oof"ed and went back to her comfortable position. 
	After that an unusual quiet spell fell over the group. 
	"So how are you enjoying Tokyo so far, Marina?" Darien asked. 
	"Huh? Oh! Did you say something? Im sorry, I wasnt paying attention."
	"I asked how you liked Tokyo so far," he repeated. 
	She took her gaze from Darien and shyly looked away. "Oh..I like it. Its nice
here when I dont have to fight Nega-monsters." *Hell-yeah, Im enjoying it
here* she stole a glance at Darien. *Wow! He is so hot. How come Serena gets
to have him? I want him so bad its not even funny. Maybe I can win him away
from her. Then I would become Mrs. Marina Chiba. Yeah..I like that. Marina
Chiba. And forever and ever we would rule over Crystal Tokyo together....*
	"Marina! Marina! Are you ok?" Serena shook her shoulders. "Marina, you're
more out if it than I am. Are you feeling ok? Are you sick? Do you want to lie
down?" 
	*Yeah, in Darien's bed.* Marina blinked and looked around. "Oh..Im fine. No
problem. I was just thinking about something." She smiled nervously, not able
to keep her eyes off of the older man that sat next to her. *Oh yes, Darien,
you will be mine. This I vow.*

***

	KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!	Darien opened the door to his small apartment. "Ser.." he
started, the noticed the pink in her hair. "Uh, Marina, hi. What are you doing
here?" he stepped back to let her in. "Where are Serena and Rini?" 
	"Oh, they're at home. I came here to see you alone." she smiled seductivly at
him. "Darien, dear, Ive been meaning to talk to you." she took his hand and
walked to his couch. He sat down and she sat next to him. Darien thought it
was a bit too close, but he said nothing. "Darien, I know that you're with
Serena and all...but I have to confess something to you. I...I like you. A
lot. Actually...I'm in love with you. I have been since the first time I saw
you. Not here, but back then. At one of Mothers nightly balls, I saw you, and
I loved you. I couldnt think of anyone else but you. I dont care that Serena
has you, I want you. I love you so much that it hurts me..." Marina was in
tears, sobbing. 
	Darien put an arm around her to comfort her. "Im sorry, Marina, but I love
Serena. You know that. We have a future togther. And Rini.." 
	Marina suddenly laughed. "You have Rini, maybe, but not her." Darien looked
ather questionally. "Cant you tell? Rini isnt Serena's...shes mine. The hair,
the attitude...shes definatly not Serena's."
	"Marina, what are you talking about? Of course Serena is Rini's mother."
Darien said, not believeing himself 100% anymore. *She is, isnt she? I have to
admit that Rini does have Marina's hair. And Serena doesnt really have the
same attitude as Rini...but I love Serena, how could me and Marina
possibably....?* One look at her and he knew the answer. Marina was beautiful.
Maybe even more so than Serena. They looked the same, but Marina was a
beautiful girl inside and out. He wanted her. To touch her, to hold her, to
feel her skin, her hair...her lips. He bent slightly and kissed Marina who
happily kissed him back. "No, stop!" something inside him screamed. He pushed
her away. "Marina, get out. You cant stay here. I love Serena. Im sorry."
	"But Darien..that kiss..didn"t it mean anything to you?" she protested. 
	Darien grunted and lead her to the door, nearly pushing her out. He shut the
door and leaned against it. *Why did I do that? I dont love her, I love
Serena. But Marina is so....* he kicked the wall and went to lie down. 
	Marina slowly walked away from his apartmant, back to Serenas house, where
she too went to bed to cry.  "Im sorry, Darien. I cant help it that I love
you...."
