(The scene opens outside a store window as a Jack-o-lantern on display outside Serena looks on at the display going up.)

 

Serena: (to self)

 

Oh sweet its Halloween one of my favorite holidays. Only a handful of days were people just give you yummy candy for free.

 

Luna:

 

Aren’t you a bit old for trick or treating Serena.

 

Serena: (Shocked)

 

Uh … I wasn’t ….

 

Luna:

 

Please how long have I known you? When sweets or guys are involved you jump to attention you have yet to give up trick or treating. The least you can do this year is take Renee along with you.

 

Serena:

 

No way that brat will take all the candy for herself.

 

Luna:

 

She isn’t as much of a pig as you are Serena.

 

(Serena looks at a poster in the store window)

 

Serena:

 

Huh…. (shouting) No Way, a candy shopping spree! For the best costume in the contest! (Eyes glow with light) It will be mine.

 

 

Luna: (Looking scared)

 

Keep looking like that and you’ll win for the scariest costume.

 

Senera:

 

What did you Say Luna!

 

(The scene changes to Geo’s Hideout in the lab of Spectral. Iris sneaks about messing with the tubes Spectral set up)

 

Iris:

 

That jerk will learn the pain of failure.

 

(Spectral walks in.)

 

Spectral:

 

Iris what are you doing in my lab.

 

Iris:

 

I just came to pick the perfect ally for our venture to go after the next element.

 

Spectral:

 

Not a chance (slaps the tube out of Iris’s hand) you won’t deceive me Iris. I already have my choice made and the calculation of the next target is here. But it’s too soon to go after it.

 

Iris:

 

If you know where the element is then why waste time why aren’t you out there getting it. Or is it your scared you will fail.

 

Spectral:

 

No unlike the previous two elements Iris I have discovered the location and the perfect timing are called for this one. Till then I will perfect my creation to handle any issues that may arise. (Rubs his now mechanical hand he made to replace the one blasted off before)

 

Iris:

 

Aw poor baby still miss his hand after his punishment for betraying me last time.

 

Spectral:

 

Shut it woman. I may have made mistakes before in the past but I am personally going to take part in this mission to prove my loyalty to Geo, unlike your treacherous ways.

 

Iris:

 

So nerd boy is finally going to show in the battlefield don’t expect me to save your but from the fire.

 

Spectral:

 

No need to worry there. You will be here doing basic cleaning tasks.

 

Iris:

 

What but it’s my job to gather materials?

 

Spectral:

 

Don’t like it, too tough. But if you get in the way of me or my minion then I will not be responsible for any mistaken friendly fire sent your direction.

 

Iris:

 

We will see what Geo has to say about this.

 

(Iris Phases out of the lab)

 

Spectral:

 

Yes we will see.

 

(The scene changes to Geo’s throne room where now a mechanical body sits and small flickering of light in the eyes, As Geo looks on at the cylinder container holding a short hair blond woman. Iris phases in from the darkness and kneels lowering her head in a show of loyalty)

 

Geo:

 

I take from you expression Iris that Spectral has told you his plans to personally take charge of this mission.

 

Iris:

 

But sir my mission was to gather the elements.

 

Geo:

 

Easy Iris, Spectral feels he has something to prove to me and with it he plans to take full responsibility for this mission. Take this time to relax and find something to do. Should he fail I think he will find it much harder to betray us again.

 

(Iris looks up at the cylinder container and a look of shock hits her face)

 

Iris:

 

Sir that girl!

 

Geo:

 

Is not ready to wake yet but, is a little surprise I have for that annoying thorn Andromita. The Queen used a fraction of her power to pull her from her prison. Soon the time will come for our Ace to come into play. (Geo looks at his minion) Oh yes you remember her well don’t you, after all you captured her for us back in the battle with the Moon Kingdom.

 

Iris:

 

Yes sir. I don’t see how you can get her to betray Andromita though.

 

Geo:

 

We are infusing her with Metallia’s power much the same way we have in the past controlled others. We merely needed to find her weakness in her heart. (Geo begins to laugh as Iris grins)

 

Iris:

 

I can’t wait to see the mouse’s face when she appears on our side.

 

(The scene changes to the press room of the TV studio, Moyria and Darien sit working on editing some video on a computer monitor when Sayrun comes walking up)

 

Sayrun:

 

Hey love birds

 

Moyria: (red in the face)

 

Will you stop saying that Sayrun. We are not dating.

 

Darien:

 

Don’t entice her Moyria.

 

Sayrun:

 

Just messing with you for the reaction, anyway the boss wants to speak with both of you about something.

 

Darien:

 

Any idea what about!

 

Sayrun:

 

Nope, maybe it’s about your getting hurt at the college the other day.

 

Moyria:

 

They wouldn’t make this a big issue will they?

 

Sayrun:

 

Well you two did separate from each other and Darien broke a few ribs when he was trampled by the crowd.

 

(Moyria looks upset as Darien looks troubled)

 

Darien: (To self)

 

Good to see the story is sticking, too bad for Moyria on this as the one to cause them was the girl Andromita. (Out loud) Don’t worry I don’t blame you Moyria and it could be something else. There is only one way to find out we got to go face the music.

 

(Darien cringes as he gets up)

 

Moyria:

 

Hey watch it you need to be careful you still haven’t healed yet. Here. (Moyria offers her shoulder for him to use as support to walk to Reyhard’s office. Where Moyria knocks with a nervous look on her face)

 

Reyhard:

 

It’s open

 

Darien:

 

You wanted to see us sir.

 

Reyhard:

 

Ah Chiba and Gatent step in and shut the door.

 

(Moyria sallows some air and moves Darien to a seat setting him down then moved to close the door and take a seat as well)

 

Reyhard:

 

How are the ribs, Chiba?

 

Darien:

 

Healing sir.

 

Reyhard:

 

Hmm well usually most reporters take their first war wounds on actual battlefields and since you’re just an intern you’re as step ahead of many. 

 

(Moyria’s nervous look becomes stronger)

 

Darien:

 

You wanted to talk about this sir.

 

Reyhard:

 

No. It’s come to my attention you’re due to graduate soon and you still need a passing mark from me Mr. Chiba.

 

Darien:

 

Yes sir the finals are next month.

 

Reyhard:

 

Well what plans do you have after you graduate?

 

Darien:

 

Well I took a course in journalism to focus on the issues of the world.

 

Reyhard:

 

Well every person in the field wants to start out that way. Ms. Gatent, you have worked and trained along side of Mr. Chiba for the last few weeks what do you think of his work here?

 

Moyria: (Jumps a bit unsure of why she is being asked)

 

Um well he is a hard worker and makes sure the task is done on time and correctly sir.

 

Reyhard:

 

He takes risks as well as the ribs show. (Sighs and plops down a folder) Every year each news source does several fluff pieces. Consider this your final exam here Mr. Chiba. I need a Holiday piece on my desk for Halloween. The two of you are to work together alone as a team on this. Do well and maybe I could see to it that your position here Mr. Chiba remains only as a junior reporter.

 

Darien: (Shock now hits his face)

 

Seriously you’re offering me a position.

 

Reyhard:

 

Only if you two get me a decent piece in time understand.

 

Darien:

 

Yes sir.

 

Reyhard: (blushing)

 

Of course I can’t lye in saying Ms. Gatent would likely make the piece more interesting if she was a reporter. But you’re the man with the presence and skill and she is your camera operator with her experience and with her training in the military she might be more help so long as you’re two stay together. Now get out there and get me the story team.

 

Moyria and Darien:

 

Yes sir.

 

(The two pick up the folder and walk out the office as Sayrun gives then a evil smirk.)

 

 

 

Darien: (Whisper to Moyria)

 

How much you want to bet the decision was hers?

 

(Moyria looks up at Sayrun holding a bell and making a kissy face)

 

Moyria: (to self)

 

Yeah looks that way and she may be trying other things as well.

 

(The scene changes to Serena in her house digging through her closet)

 

Serena:

 

Oooh where is it?

 

Luna:

 

You’re not still hung up on that costume contest are you? Seriously do you think you will win (Luna stops as a pile of cloths flop on top of her and she has to squirm her way out.)

 

Serena:

 

Found it (Serena holds up a tiny princess costume. Luna who makes her way out stares down the costume)

 

Luna:

 

You’re far more demented than I though if you seriously think you’ll fit in that.

 

Serena:

 

I totally can too I will show you.

 

(The scene moves forward a few minutes and we see Serena hunched over awkwardly in the costume)

 

Serena: (In a high voice as she speaks while inhaling)

 

See I told you I fit in it perfectly

 

 Luna:

 

Oh yes you sure did….Oh my did you drop that 1000 yen

 

Serena:

 

Wha where (The costume tears in pieces) ….Ooooh you rotten tuna breath

 

Luna:

 

You can’t use that costume Serena.

 

(A knock on the door but the two go on ignoring it)

 

Serena:

 

I can too I just need to make some sewing adjustments to the costume.

 

Luna:

 

Yes because you have so much skill in that.

 

(the knock continues this time Luna takes note and gets quite)

 

Serena:

 

I will have you know I won that swim suit contest with the sewing and the wedding dress was a near win.

 

Luna: (to herself)

 

You used the disguise pen and you damn well know it.

 

(The door opens and Renee walks in carrying a large tray of tea)

 

Renee:

 

Your mom asked me to bring these in Serena. (Looks at the outfit Serena is wearing and just about drops the tray) What are you wearing?

 

Serena:

 

My award winning costume for the costume contest in town!

 

Renee:

 

What is it suppose to be an Amazon warriors dress or a cave woman’s?

 

 

 

Serena:

 

It’s a princess gown

 

(Renee sets the tray down and starts laughing and Luna joins in)

 

Luna:

 

Its nothing but torn rags Serena no way it will work.

 

Serena:

 

Oh really and what will you be going with Renee.

 

Renee:

 

Wasn’t planning on it, kind of childish to do things like that, I’m too old. I was going to see if Darien would let me watch a scary movie.


Luna :

 

That’s what I told her. But all this for the candy shopping spree…

 

Renee:

 

Candy shopping spree?

 

Serena:

 

Yes the prize for the best costume.

 

(Renee’s eyes begin to shine and she gets up to leave the room)

 

Serena:

 

Where are going?

 

Renee:

 

To get a costume together to win the contest.

 

Serena: (shouting)

 

It won’t be better then mine.

 

 

Renee:

 

Doubt I can get worse.

 

(The scene changes to another day where Darien and Moyria are setting up their equipment at a graveyard to get things together a strange nerdy like man that is balding wearing a t-shirt that reads “Sometimes seeing requires believing”)

 

Darien:

 

Okay Mr. Konpaku I need you to move over here for the better shot of you and the grave yard. Moyria set the stationary camera up on me and you take the other and film our guest okay?

 

Moyria:

 

On it!

 

Konpaku:

 

I want copies of this report. I feel competent that we will see spirits tonight during the filming.

 

Darien:

 

Uh no problem, right Moyria?

 

Moyria: (a little white)

 

Uh…yeah …um no …problem.

 

Darien:

 

Okay since we have the scene setup, take five Moyria while I run practice questions with Mr. Konpaku to make him less nervous for the interview.

 

Moyria: (Freaks out a bit as her phone buzzes)

 

Uh yeah sure (runs off out of ear shot, and answers the phone) what is it Circuit?

 

Circuit:

 

Mistress your heart rate is severely inclined are you okay?

 


Moyria:

 

I’m fine, what do you want?

 

Circuit:

 

I have narrowed down an element possibility.

 

Moyria:

 

Great where is it?

 

Circuit:

 

It’s building in your current location.

 

Moyria: (screams)

 

What?

 

Circuit:

 

The ideal location of the element of Shadow is in your current location it will build at its peak in the following hour.

 

Moyria:

 

We are about to film here, do you mean to tell me that Geo’s minions will be here soon at least we will have a jump on them this time. I will handle this Circuit. (Hangs up and heads back to the cameras) We need to get going Darien we’re losing light (to self) and get this done before the real spooks appear.

 

(The scene shifts to nearby where Spectral is watching)

 

Spectral:

 

So this is the location of the element of Shadow. Hmm (looks hard and eyeballs Konpaku) Perfect he will do well to serve as a vessel for my minion. As soon as the man separates from those others will be the perfect time to change him.

 

(The scene changes again to Serena covered in a pile of cloths in her room Luna looks on)

 

Luna:

 

Serena face it, you aren’t prepared for this contest tonight.

 

Serena:

 

But I want to win.

 

(The door opens and Renee walks in dress in a princesses ball gown with a sparkly tiara. In her arms is Diana who is wearing a cape and crown)

 

Luna:

 

Renee you look just like a princess

 

Diana:

 

That’s because she is one Mama.

 

Renee:

 

You’re still not ready to go.

 

Serena:

 

Hey layoff you got to use my old costume after mom fixed it.

 

Luna:

 

Diana you’re dressed too?

 

Diana:

 

Small Lady thought it be good to match her costume to better win

 

(Serena gains a shocked look across her face)

 

Serena:

 

You little cheat. Very well two can play that game come here Luna I have an idea.

 

(Luna gets big and presents her claws)

 

Luna:

 

Don’t you even try putting me in a costume Serena!

 


Serena:

 

Fine ….(lighting strikes her head as an idea hits her) Ah I know how to solve my problem. (Serena digs in the pile and pulls out the Disguise pen)

 

Luna:

 

Serena that pen is for Sailor use only. It’s not for you to win a costume contest. (to self) I thought the girl lost that thing a long time ago

 

Serena:

 

Hush Luna this contest is a matter of life and death and I should see if this thing even still works… (Raises the pen above her) Make me a totally awesome and cute witch. (The pen lets out a light those envelopes her and she is transformed into a younger looking version of herself about the same age as Renee and is wearing a cutesy witch’s costume.) hmm a little younger then I’d like okay lets try that again but go for sexy. (The light envelopes her again and makes her look older yet the costume even sizing is almost unchanged)

 

Luna:

 

If your father sees you like that he will die of a heart attack.

 

Serena:

 

Man Darien should check me out like this.

 

Renee:

 

You won’t win like that, cheater besides I have Diana.

 

Serena:

 

Yes and as a witch I have my Black cat isn’t that right Luna.

 

Luna: (Shocked)

 

WHAT?

 

Serena:

 

Now let’s get a move on I want to find where Darien is shooting to show this costume off to him.

 


Luna: (to self)

 

How does she get away with this stuff all the time?

 

(The scene changes back to the shoot as Darien and Konpaku finish up doing their interview)

 

Konpaku:

 

Spirits are everywhere. The lives of the dead will haunt any and all that disturb the graves they called home like those stepping on them on this Halloween night. 

 

Moyria: (To self. Standing on a grave.)

 

Damn it why do you go saying that stuff when I’m doing this.


Darien:

 

Well thank you for your message, for JSNN this is Darien Chiba Happy Halloween Everybody. (pauses for a few seconds) Okay that’s a wrap on the interview Moyria lets set up for some filming of the graveyard for B roll. Mr. Konpaku thank you for your help, will you be hanging around.

 

Konpaku:

 

Yeah but I need to get my recorder to do some EVP’s.

 

Darien:

 

Sure we will film some of you doing that as well. (Looks at Moyria) You okay you kind of look pale.

 

Moyria: (trying to recover)

 

Uh yeah just don’t like this stuff much that’s all.

 

(Konpaku walks off and then suddenly there is a blast and he lets out a scream)

 

Darien:

 

What was that? Konpaku you okay.

 

(Suddenly a faded robed man with blue flames floating about it comes zooming in at Darien and Moyria)

 


Darien:

 

A Ghost it’s real.

 

Moyria:

 

No way.

 

(Spectral teleports in at the graveyard)

 

Spectral:

 

Man what a pity I figured Guist would have at least caused the girl to flee oh well what are a few dead bodies to get in my way. Guist, eliminate the humans.

 

Both Moyria and Darien (to self):

 

It’s the Negaverse

 

(Darien tosses the microphone at Guist)

 

Darien:

 

Moyria run.

 

Moyria: (blushing to self)

 

He is protecting me, I should return the favor. (Runs off around the corner)

 

Spectral:

 

Hmm she ran after all looks like my calculation where only slightly off. Guist destroy the human we have an element to collect.

 

(A blast from a laser his the ground near Spectral)

 

Andromita:

 

Think again Spectral.

 

Spectral: (Gritting his teeth)

 

The military dog, Guist, forget the human deal with her.

 

(Guist twists its head around without moving its body and zooms toward Andormita pulling out a scythe and taking a swing at her that she quickly dodges)

Guist:

 

Time to collect your soul!

 

Andormita:

 

Sorry Ghost boy you may be creepy but that won’t stop me from kicking your butt.

(She kicks at Guist but moves right through him) Okay maybe it will. (to self) how do I fight something I can’t touch?

 

(Meanwhile around a corner nearby Darien is reaching in getting ready to pull out his rose when Serena shouts out to him)

 

Serena:

 

Darien. There you are.

 

Darien:

 

No time to talk Serena, the enemy just appeared Sailor Moon is needed.

 

Serena:

 

But my costume?

 

Luna:

 

Serena, what is more important candy or the world.

 

Serena:

 

Sigh … Fine…Moon Royal Crisis Activation.

 

Renee:

 

I’m gonna help out … Pink Moon Crystal Makeup

 

(The two go through their transformation sequences and they along with Tuxedo Mask stand together)

 

Moon:

 

Okay guys lets deal with this trash quick so I can get my candy.

 

(The scene switches back to Andromita running constantly dodging the swinging of Guist’s scythe he suddenly stops as a rose lands in his path between Guist and Andromita They both look up and see Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon.)

 

Moon:

 

I won’t let your evil haunt this day and ruin one of the greatest Holidays every year.

 

Chibi Moon:

 

To protect people…

 

Moon:

 

And my future candy stash.

 

Both Moon and Chibi Moon:

 

We will punish you in the name of the moon.

 

Andromita:

 

Who’s the half pint?

 

Chibi Moon:

 

Half Pint! I will show you Nega villain

 

Moon:

 

Um you’re close Chibi Moon, but she actually is kind of on our side.

 

Spectral:

 

Great Guist can’t handle all these alone. (Tosses crystal to a grave) Guist, it’s time to play your hand.

 

Guist:

 

Arise my followers

 

(Suddenly the ground begins to crack and corpses start to rise from their graves. Both Andromita and Sailor Moon look in shock)

 

 

 

Moon:

 

No way! Actual zombies on their side no fair!

 

Andormita:

 

I hate this monster. Sailor Moon you deal with this thing I can’t even touch it.

 

(Chibi Moon hops down in-between Andormita and Guist)

 

Chibi Moon:

 

I will show you my power.

 

Moon:

 

Uh Chibi Moon?

 

Tuxedo Mask:

 

Sailor Moon you and Chibi Moon deal with the monster Andormita and I will deal with the zombies.

 

Chibi Moon:

 

Pink Sugar Heart Attack

 

(Chibi Moon holds forth her staff and starts blasting Guist who’s head keeps bobbing back and forth from the barrage of Chibi Moon’s attack but he keeps moving forward reaches up to swing and brings the scythe down just as Sailor Moon grabs Chibi Moon and pulls her away)

 

Moon:

 

You can’t just run in and attack like that. (Chibi Moon continues her attack as Sailor Moon carries her) Are you even listening to me?

 

Chibi Moon:

 

Just run from that creep Sailor Moon I will keep hitting him as we go

 

(Meanwhile Tuxedo Mask and Andromita hack their way through the zombies)

 

Tuxedo Mask:

 

I still owe you one from our last fight.

Andromita:

 

You want to go right now? I think you might be biting off a bit much.

 

Tuxedo Mask: (Grits his teeth in pain)

 

(to self) She’s right I haven’t fully healed and these guys aren’t likely to make things go easy on me.

 

(Suddenly a blast is shot at Tuxedo Mask but explodes a few inches before him as a second blast hits the first, Tuxedo Mask looks on and sees that the first blast came from Spectral’s now mechanical hand while the second came from Andromita)

 

Tuxedo Mask:

 

You saved me.

 

Andromita: (Kicks a zombie in the head and followed up with a volley of laser blasts)

 

I can’t handle these zombies and that guy at the same time alone. If you still want to fight at the end I will be sure to kick your butt then.

 

Tuxedo Mask: (Continues swinging at zombies)

 

Deal at least this time you can’t throw me off a building

 

Moon:

 

You threw him off a building?

 

Both Andromita and Tuxedo Mask:

 

Not the time to talk Sailor Moon!

 

Spectral:

 

You won’t have to worry weaklings you both will die long before you even get close to me.

 

Andromita: (to Sailor Moon)

 

Will you two quite running from him like cowards and heal him Sailor Moon.

 

Moon:

 

I would but I need him to stand still long enough.

Chibi Moon:

 

I could try and slow him down

 

Moon:

 

How your blast generally just annoys them more

 

Chibi Moon:

 

Hey I can do it Sailor Moon have faith in me.

 

Moon:

 

Fine here (sets Mini Moon down and runs a bit further)

 

Chibi Moon:

 

(to self) Okay now what (Guist swipes at her and she jumps out of the way)

 

Diana:

 

Mama Small Lady needs us

 

Luna:

 

But we can’t do any thing little one.

 

Diana: (Goes running to Chibi Moon)

 

No I am going to help her

 

Luna:

 

No Diana it’s dangerous

 

Moon:

 

Mini Moon I can’t get a clear shot at it.

 

Chibi Moon:

 

I’m working on it

 

 

 

Diana:

 

Chibi Moon use this (Diana Flips in the air and a pink hoop with a crystal heart appears dropping to the ground but suddenly Diana is hit by a swipe of Guist’s scythe and goes crashing down)

 

Luna:

 

Diana!

 

Chibi Moon:

 

Diana No (Grabs the Hoop)

 

Diana:

 

I’m okay Chibi Moon stop it with the Lunar rings.

 

Chibi Moon: (Nods her head and starts to spin the hoop on her arm)

 

Lunar Rings Gather (Spinning the Hoop faster more rings appear and suddenly Chibi Moon tosses them wrapping them around Guist) Now is your chance Sailor Moon!

 

Moon:

 

Right he will pay for hurting Diana…. Moon Blessed Wishing (Light begins to surround Guist and move around Guist faster and faster) Heal this soul (The lights move quicker enveloping him in light and he reverts back to Konpaku who collapses to his normal self. Yet the zombies still remain active) Got him.

 

Chibi Moon:

 

Then why are those guys still active?

 

Andromita:

 

It’s the element. The element of Shadow is controlling them now.

 

Spectral:

 

Yes and when the crystal gathers its power the element will be ours. (Laughs out loud)

 

Moon:

 

But how do we stop the zombies?

 

Andromita:

 

I have an idea. (Raises her arm to strike the ground) Raging Solar Flare (She goes to use her solar flare attack only this one rolls along the ground much in the same way of Uranus’s Earth Shaker, the attack spreads the zombies to clear a path to Spectral and the crystal.)

 

Spectral:

 

Should have guessed the military dog had a plan of attack, Calculated Barrage. (Spectral shoots off a volley of attacks from his hand at Andromita and they all go to hit target only to be blocked by a volley of roses.)

 

Andromita:

 

Guess we’re even now.

 

Tuxedo Mask:

 

In saves yes. But I still owe you for throwing me off the roof last time.

 

Moon:

 

Yeah I want to know more about why you’re throwing people off of buildings.

 

Andromita:

 

Not now Sailor Moon. (Andromita runs quickly and charges at Spectral as he raises his hand to blast again Andromita flips to the side and scoops up the crystal.)

 

Spectral:

 

You where after the crystal!

 

Andromita:

 

Yeah to do this! (Andromita takes the crystal in hand and punches the ground near a zombie which suddenly drops and soon all the others follow behind)

 

Spectral:

 

Their shadows the element was in their shadows. How could I have missed that calculation? Damn Geo won’t be pleased. (Spectral snaps his fingers and a door way opens) we will meet again and I will gain the elements again count on it Moon brats. (Spectral walks through the door which shuts behind him and disappears)

 

Sailor Moon:

 

Alright perfect thanks Andromita (holds out her hand for the element)

 

Andromita:

 

Not giving this one to you Sailor Moon. Get your own next time. (Places the crystal in her uniform) We aren’t on the same team after all.

 

Moon:

 

But wait we have the same goal don’t we.

 

Andromita:

 

No cause my goal is and always will be to destroy you and the earth prince (Raises her blaster at Sailor Moon only to have a rose land in the barrel)

 

Tuxedo Mask:

 

So you do want to keep doing this then.

 

Andromita: (Growling)

 

I can never forgive ether of you for your actions too many lives paid for your treachery. I will collect the elements for myself and when I have the power I need I will kill you both.

(Places her gun away and flips away into the shadows, Tuxedo Mask starts to go after her but feels the pull of Sailor Moon on his arm)

 

Sailor Moon:

 

We need to deal with Diana’s injuries first. We will have a chance to deal with her again another day. (walks over to Chibi Moon who has Diana in her arms and Luna on Chibi Moon’s shoulders looking on)

 

Luna:

 

Sailor Moon, can you?

 

(Sailor Moon nods)

 

Moon:

 

Moon Blessed Wishing (light surrounds Diana) Heal this soul (light envelopes Diana and she floats to the ground fully healed)

 

Chibi Moon:

 

Diana your healed

 

Diana:

 

Yes Small lady

 

Luna:

 

Don’t do that again little one

 

Diana:

 

Sorry mama but you taught me to do that.

 

Luna:

 

What

 

Moon:

 

Now that you mention it you do risk yourself a lot Luna.

 

(Tuxedo Mask and Chibi Moon nod in agreement)

 

Luna:

 

What kind of parent do I become?

 

Tuxedo Mask:

 

We better get back to normal.

 

(The three revert to their forms only Sailor Moon is now in the cloths she had before she used the disguise pen)

 

Serena:

 

Now Darien what do you think of my costume

 

Darien:

 

What costume?

 

 

Serena:

 

What do you mean (notices) Gah damn it I forgot the disguise needs to be redone.

 

Renee:

 

Do you even have the pen on you?

 

Serena:

 

Uh no I left it home because I didn’t think I would need it again.

 

Luna:

 

Well you don’t have much time left to go back for it.

 

Serena: (gets teary eyed)

 

But I was gonna win the candy.

 

Renee:

 

You still could in a way Serena.

 

(Picks up Renee.)

 

Serena: (Shouting)

 

Tell me how!

 

Renee:

 

I will explain on the way. (Starts to run off and Serena follows after)

 

Serena:

 

Good luck on your interview Darien! And don’t let Moyria near you.

 

(The two disappear)

 

Moyria:

 

Did I just hear my name?

 

 

 

Darien:

 

Ah you okay Moyria?

 

Moyria:

 

Yeah I’m fine, (blushing) um thanks for saving me back there. The ghost didn’t hurt you did it.

 

Darien:

 

Nah, not a scratch, but it did freak me out. (Notices the cameras are still up) Hey did you leave those running.

 

Moyria:

 

Yeah you wanted B roll.

 

Darien:

 

I think our B roll just became our story and I think Konpaku will flip when he sees it. Not to mention the boss.  

 

(The scene changes to the candy contest)

 

Announcer:

 

Okay folks we have narrowed down our contestant by categories. Best child, best adult and we added a unique category best team which the winner receives a wagon full of candy. First up is best child costume. Habari Yuki for his awesome Godzilla costume.  (A young kid in a Godzilla costume that sparks flames comes out and the crowd cheers.) Next is best adult Mika Vee for her sexy Sailor Moon costume (A woman comes out in a skimpy Sailor Moon costume, and out in the crowd cheers as a very real Sailor Moon sighs)

 

Fake Sailor Moon:

 

In the name of the moon you shall punish me. (The crowd cheers)

 

Moon:

 

How could the real thing loose to a fake Luna?

 

Luna:

 

Give it up Serena you can’t have it all.

Announcer:

 

And finally best team goes to Chibausa Tsukino and her pet Diana (Renee and Diana come out together to the crowd cheering)

 

Moon:

 

Well at least Renee got the candy for her.

 

Luna:

 

Huh that’s surprisingly adult of you Serena.

 

Moon:

 

Well she is my future kid Luna, I guess I have to be proud in some way. She is growing on me after all.

 

Luna:

 

You’re learning to have more faith in her as you watch her grow.

 

(Renee comes walking up with Diana on her shoulder behind her is a wagon full of candy)

 

Moon:

 

Congratulations you two.

 

Renee:

 

Thanks. Um Sailor Moon.

 

Moon:

 

Yeah Renee!

 

Renee:

 

You can have some of the candy for helping Diana.

 

Moon:

 

Half.

 

 

 

Renee:

 

A quarter.

 

Moon:

 

Half you ungrateful jerk.

 

Renee:

 

A quarter, half is mine and a quarter is Diana’s

 

Moon:

 

You two should each give me half.

 

Renee:

 

Fine we will give you half of your half.

 

Moon:

 

That’s better!

 

Luna:

 

Serena you dolt, you just agreed to taking an eighth of the candy Sailor Moon.

 

Moon:

 

What?

 

Renee:

 

Yeah you did.

 

Moon:

 

OOOh you little cheater.

 

(The scene changes to later that night at the news office, Where Darien and Moyria sit in Reyhard’s office. Reyhard enters and sits down in front of the two of them.)

 

 

 

 

Reyhard:

 

I send the two of you out to do a holiday interview, a mere fluff piece. In turn you find not just a great story but cover the action long before any one else finds it. Normally if I had a person in my employ I would give them a bonus for this but as one of you is still in debt to us for the loss of equipment and the other is not exactly an employee on our payroll.

 

Darien:

 

But the story was big.

 

Reyhard:

 

You know news isn’t always big stories; you two just got lucky this time. Hell what am I saying since you two have been working together you keep ending up in big stories.

 

(Reyhard leans back twiddles his fingers together)

 

Moyria:

 

We don’t mean to find them.

 

Darien:

 

Finding stories like that aren’t bad things, Moyria.

 

Reyhard:

 

No it’s great. But I can’t shake the idea that some how you two know where they stories are going to be. Almost as if you two are part of the stories yourselves.

 

(Both Darien and Moyria get a look of disgust on their faces)

 

Both Darien and Moyria: (to self)

 

Uh I hope he doesn’t notice I am in the video of the battle.

 

Reyhard:

 

Well it’s beside the point. As I said you get me a story that is worth it then you pass the Mr. Chiba. As for you Ms. Gatent consider your payment for the camera you destroyed weeks ago paid.

 

 

 

Moyria:

 

Really Thank you…

 

Reyhard:

 

Not finished yet. You two are young and reckless and while you have found me stories, I can’t have you two acting that way on your future stories.

 

Darien:

 

Future stories sir?

 

Reyhard:

 

Yeah well as of midnight tonight I am ending your internship her Mr. Chiba and will be hiring you on as a regular reporter, you are to work with Ms. Gatent and I will find someone else to join you on aiding in the camera work.

 

Moyria:

 

But I’m a camera operator.

 

Reyhard:

 

I told you before Ms. Gatent a girl like you shouldn’t be behind the camera but in front of it.

 

Moyria:

 

I …I can’t sir I’m not.

 

Reyhard:

 

I don’t want you reporting, you will be more like a field producer that is often seen on camera.

 

Darien: (to self)

 

In other words eye candy for male viewers.

 

Reyhard:

 

It’s a great idea Calvin came up with a news couple. Most new rooms have news partners to anchor the news but I want to make you two into the first reporting couple.

 

Moyria: (to self)

 

Damn it Sayrun, Serena is going to kill me (blushes a bit as she looks at Darien)

 

Darien:

 

Wait I have a girlfriend.

 

 

Reyhard:

 

Right you do it’s this fine looking girl who will run around with a camera often getting caught on film herself. Oh and should you two accidentally be seen I want to see romantic sparks between you two.

 

Darien:

 

No I have an actual girlfriend that isn’t Moyria.

 

Reyhard:

 

So you have a girl on the side just keep it hidden till sweeps week okay. Till then I want you two eating together going out together and working together when ever you’re seen in public. I expect at least one story a week and really work on finding more of these golden opportunities. Oh and you two should move in together just incase other new crews come snooping around to see how you live. (Plops a pamphlet down) I got you set for an appointment to look at family apartment here.

 

Both Darien and Moyria: (To self)

 

Serena is going to kill me when she finds out.

 

(The scene goes black)
