During lunch we noticed that girl was sitting by herself. She had long dark brown hair tied in a high ponytail. For a tough girl, she was fairly pretty. "Usagi I sense something from that girl." I whispered to the blond girl. "You think she's a scout?" Usagi asked. "I'm not sure. Maybe I'm just paranoid that the girl would do something to us."

"I'm gonna say hi to her." Usagi said. "Are you nuts! That girl will murder you!" Umino and Naru shouted. "I'm not gonna piss her off or anything!" Usagi said almost pouting. "I'll go with you." I said as I followed her.

Usagi crept over a bush. That girl was on the other side eating her lunch. "Usagi be careful." I quietly said. Usagi quietly sneaked over the girl. The girl turned her head in a flash and noticed us. "What the hell do you want?" the girl demanded as we jumped back in surprise.

"Oh nothing really." Usagi said sheepishly. "I saw you two this morning. You were that blond girl that was being bullied." She said. "That was us." We said.

"Please have a seat." She said as she moved over to let us sit. We did as told. "That looks good." Usagi said, referring to her rice balls. "You want some. I made them myself." She said. "Oh sure!" Usagi squealed as she took a rice ball.

Usagi took a bite and smiled happily. "Jess-chan you should have one they're so good." Usagi said in between bites. Reluctantly I took a rice ball. I sniffed it and took a small bite. I liked it. I put the whole thing in my mouth. I smiled happily.

"I'm glad you like them. I never got your names." She said. "I'm Usagi and this is Jessica." Usagi said. "I'm Kino Makoto." She said. "We knew that. Word goes around fast here." I said as I swallowed a big chunk of rice ball almost choking.

"Do you know why I was transferred here?" Makoto asked. We nodded. "You had a bad rep because of fighting." Usagi said. Makoto blushed slightly. "I must be famous here." She said.

After school we showed Makoto around. "Do you like video games?" Usagi asked. "Oh course as long as they're full of action!" Makoto said as we entered the arcade. We sat down and played Sailor V. "Hey Usagi." Naru said as she walked near us. "I wanted to show you these pictures taken last month." Naru said.

Naru showed us pictures of her in a wedding gown. "You got married?!" I asked a bit confused. "I'm not married. My cousin got married and she let me wear the dress." The redhead said. "It's a pretty dress." Makoto said. "I know. I wanna wear a dress like that when I get married." Naru said as she blushed slightly.

"I wanna show you the place where she bought the dress." Naru said. We followed her to a huge building with a woman in wedding dress on the billboard. "Hey Naru-chan, isn't that cursed store?" Usagi said. "Cursed?" Naru asked.

"I've heard about this place too. Its told that who ever buys a dress from this place, they're marriage will be a disaster." Makoto said. "Forget about buying a dress here." I said.

"I didn't know that at all. This was the last store we looked at for her dress." Naru said. I sensed something from this place. It must be the enemy's doings. I'll tell Apollo about this later.

"Usagi I think that the Dark Kingdom is behind that curse at the wedding shop." I said when we got home. "You think so?" Usagi asked. "I sensed it. The feeling was strong." I said as I took my shoes off.

"Tell Ami and Rei." Usagi said. "Not now. I'll tell Luna and Apollo about this first." I said as I went upstairs. I saw the cats on the bed sleeping. I gently shook my orange cat. "Apollo wake up." I said. The cat yawned and went back to sleep.

A sweat drop formed on my head. I took a long deep breath. "APOLLO WAKE UP NOW!" I screamed. Both cats jumped up in surprise. "Jess don't do that!" Apollo barked. "I'm sorry. I have important news." I said.

"News about what?" Luna asked. "The enemy. I believe that they will strike today." I said as I sat on the bed. "Why do you say that?" Apollo asked. "We went into town with Naru and she showed us a dress shop and I sensed and enemy." I said as I took a deep breath.

"Should we investigate?" Usagi asked as she entered her room. "Call Ami and Rei first. We don't want to get attacked alone." Luna said. Usagi and I looked at each other. We nodded and got our communicators.

"Are you guys sure about this?" Ami asked. "Positive. I sensed it when we were here earlier with Makoto." I said. "I also sensed something from Makoto."

"You think she's an enemy?" Usagi asked. "I don't think so. I highly doubt it." I said. "I sense it too. The enemy is near. It is such a strong feeling" Rei said. "Should we transform?" Usagi asked. "Of course Odango-Atama!" Rei said as she got her pen out.

"MARS POWER MAKE UP!" "MERCURY POWER MAKE UP!" "STAR POWER MAKE UP!" "MOON PRISM POWER MAKE UP!"

The sailor scouts stood firmly in front of the shop. "It's definite. There's an enemy in there." Mars said. "Let's go in. I scan the area." Mercury said. "Be careful Sailor Senshi." Luna and Apollo said. We entered the dress shop. I felt strong negative vibes. "Welcome ladies. Are you ready to die?" A voice asked.

"Who are you?" Sailor Moon asked. "I am Nephrite, 2nd general for the Dark Kingdom. I am much stronger than Jadeite and will destroy you." A man with long dark brown hair said. His eyes, like Jadeite's, were icy cold. "Girls are you ready to attack?" Sailor Moon asked. We nodded.

"I'll go first. Let him taste my fire!" Mars said. "Akuyro Taisen!" She shouted as a scroll flashed on Nephrite's face, burning it. "What the hell is this? Get it off!" "FIRE SOUL!" She shouted as flames burst from her fingertips.

"Cool Mars! Let me go next!" I shouted. "Let you feel the real power of the stars. PRETTY TWILIGHT!" I shouted as my star beam fired at him. He managed to rip the scroll from his face and deflect my beam. "No way! It always works." I said.

"As he said, he's much stronger than Jadeite. So we have to super team him." Luna said. "I'll fight now! Taste my wrath!" Nephrite said as he attacked us. His attack was a star like beam like mine but it trapped us.

"Leave them alone!" A deep female voice said. Oh no! It sounded like Makoto. Nephrite turned around to see the longhaired girl standing there. Her fists were tightly balled and her eyes were icy cold and fixed on him. "What can this schoolgirl do to me?" He said as he laughed loudly.

Makoto smirked. "Don't underestimate me just because I'm a pretty girl. I'm stronger than I look." She said as she charged at him. Makoto punched at him frantically. "This is boring kid." Nephrite said as he punched her in the stomach, sending her flying, landing on a few clothes racks.

"Makoto no!" I screamed as I tried to free myself from Nephrite's trap. Makoto got up, dusting herself off and wiping some blood from her lip. She got into a fighting stance. That's when I noticed a strange mark on her forehead. "Luna! Apollo! What does that mark mean?" I asked.

The cats eyed the mark and gasped. "It's the 4th sign. She's Sailor Jupiter." Luna said. On to Chapter Eight.
