"aaahhh, you are awake now" i heard a man's voice say. "Are you feeling alright?" I opened my eyes to see a man no older than 20 standing above me. He was dressed in a black cape and was looking at me with great concern. "who? What?" I struggled to hold back tears. I felt empty inside, i couldnt remember anything about myself, not my age, my parents, not even my name. "You are quite lucky i found you, you shouln't be here alone you know!" He smiled. "My name is Dave, and i live here, this is the EoT, The end of time.." he sat next to me & wiped away the tears. " It was a terrible thing, that which was done to you.." he sighed.'the same thing that happended to me..when i was just a lad." "Where is my mommy??" I suddenly had a fiant memory that I did have a mother, and a father, and someone who shared my room with me,but i couldnt remember anything else. "ssshh..It's okay, I am here for you now.you don't worry, just drink this and you will be fine..." With that he handed me a glass full of a hot liquid, i was parched so i guzzled it down & once agian returned to dreams. Before i dozed of i heard Dave tell me I would feel much better when i awoke.

"SAMI!!!!!" I awoke to my mother's screaming voice. "YOU"RE GONNA BE LATE AGIAN!!!" I looked at the clock & sprang out of bed. "MOM!! Why didn't you wake me up earlier??" I whined as i put on my clothes & combed through my long soft pink hair. "this is wierd.." I thought aloud as i remembered Dave & everything that had gone on last night. "must've been a dream i guess..." I said as i kissed my mother on the cheek & ran out the door. As I ran to school I saw two girls ahead of me also hoofing it. I ran to catch up in hopes that perhaps i would make the first new friends here at my new school. "WHY AM I ALWAYS LATE??" One whined to the other "Oh Serena, if you weren't late I would worry about you!" The other laughed as i aproached them. "hello.." I wispered shyly to them. "Hi!" They replied in unison just as the first bell rang "SHOOT!" The first one repied as she looked at me. "I am Serena, and this is....BAM!." With that she ran into a pole & feel to her knees crying like a little baby. "Get up Serena, come on, now we are really late!" The other replied as she helped Serena up. "I am Mina, we are pleased to meet ya!" "My name is Sami, and I am pleased to meet you as well." With that we headed to our seperate classes. The day went by as a blur I thought of nothing but the wierd dream, and the memory of a mother & father I couldn't remember. I jumped up out of my chair just as the last bell rang & quickly gathered my books & headed home. "This was easy!" I heard a voice laugh. "Like taking candy from a baby" I turned to see a man with long silver hair floating in midair. I stared at him in disbelief as he laughed evily. "You didnt think you could hide from us this easily did you? Come child, take your rightful place as the Princess Dark Rose. Your new mother, Queen Beryl is waiting for you, come, make this easy on all of us, follow me." With that he waved his hand & a portal opened in front of me. I turned to run but he grabbed me & spun me around. "You listen here child, you come along quickly & quietly or else.." He was cut short as a fimilar voice echoed through the streets. "Or else what?" I turned to find the source of the voice & as i did 5 girls in super hero sailor suits dropped from the roof above. "Shame on you, attacking innocent people! Go back to Queen Beryl & tell her to leave Earth alone!" I reckognized by then it was Sailor Moon & the Sailor Scouts who had rescued me, and that Sailor Moon & Sailor Venus bore a strange resemblance to Serena & Mina. "Drat! Mark my words Sailor brats! I WILL get what I want!" and with that he disappeared. I turned to thank the sailor scouts but they had vanished. I noticed a pen lying on the ground next to me. I picked it up & headed home. The next morning I awoke to the constant ringing of our doorbell. "MOM!!!!" I yelled but there was no awnser so I trudged down the stairs to the door. I straighted my hair with one hand while I opened the door with the other. "Rise & shine! Did we wake you?" Serena asked airheadidly. "well actually, yes you did!" I laughed as Mina emerged with 3 new girls I hadn't met. "Sami, this is Ami, Raye, & Lyta, some of our other close friends." Mina said with a toss of her hair. "Pleased to meet you." I said as i extended my hand."Please. come in!" I exclaimed as the 5 girls entered my house."Please. make yourselves at home, would anyone like a nice hot cup of tea?" I smiled & tried to be polite as I thought of my nice warm bed just waiting to be slept in upstairs. "Oh, no thank you" Ami replied in unison with Mina. "We were just heading out for some pizza, we stopped by to see if you wanted to come along." Lyta spoke up. "Yea, sure let me throw on some clothes & I will be down in a second!" I said as I rushed upstairs to get dressed. 'SERENA!" I heard Raye yell as I came back down stairs. "So, are we ready?" I asked excitedly "Where did you find this??" Serena asked excitedly as she held up the pink pen i had found after the sailor scouts had saved me. "Oh, That thing? I found it while walking home yesterday after school, I think it was dropped by one of the Sailor...." I stopped short as i realized That everyone in my living room looked almost identical to the sailor scouts. They stared at me blankly until finally Raye wispered something to Ami. Ami nodded silently. "I mean.." I bit my lip & tried to think of a way out of this. "So, This is the girl from yesterday.." A black cat with a crescent moon atop her head said as she looked at me. "Did I just hear you talk?" I picked up the kitty & hugged her as she replied. "Yes, i did talk. My name is Luna, and, as you have already figured out, These are the sailor scouts, Mina,Lyta,Raye,Ami, and .." Luna became annoyed as she growled at Serena."Serena." She finished. "I think I need to sit down.." I said in shock as Ami made room for me on the couch where she sat. "I..I don't know what to say.." I replied as shocked as ever. "I do.." Luna piped up. "You are a very special girl..You must be..You are wanted by an evil force called the Negaforce.." I nodded. I had heard all about the Negaverse & the sailor scouts in all the magazine & newspaper articles I had read. "I am aware of the Negaverse, and of the scouts fight agianst it, but I am not clear as to y they want me.." I said as the others sat down tp listen to Luna & I."Before you guys came, That man.." "Malachite.." Raye said as she balled her fists. "Yes, Malachite, he told me something about coming home to my new mother, Queen Beryl, and that I was to be some Princess of some sort..Princess Dark Rose..yes, thats it Princess Dark Rose..." I shrugged. "Hmm..." luna replied as she looked to the girls. "Well, whatever it is they want with you, rest easy that we won't let them have you!" Lyta put her arm around me as Serena smiled. "I hope you are right!" I said as we headed to the pizza parlor. Many weeks passed, and , with no sign of Malachite, I had forgotten all about the strange encounter. I was now on a vacation...School was out & it was summer fun time! I spent the first couple of weeks just lazing about the house, doing this & that, and catching up on my sleep! Then, one day, while sunbathin in my backyard by the pool, something strange happened. "Ahh..fresh air!" I said to myself as i picked up my cat, Renegade. "You like this sunshine too duncha?" I asked him as I pet his soft, golden fur.He purred loudly & starred at me with his golden eyes.'You are my special kitty!" i said to him as I kissed him on his head & put him down. "Well thank you!" I heard a voice reply. I sat up and searched for the person in which the voice belonged to.I turned to see a silver colored kitten with bright blue eyes starring at me. "Aren't you a cute kitty?" I said as i picked her up. "Yes, I am!" The kitten replied as she licked my hands. "OH MY!!" I said as i nearly droped her"U can talk too?" "Of course I can talk Rose!" She purred as she curled up in my lap. Her tail swished back & forth & Renegade came to investigate. "Meow?" He asked. "Hi!" The kitten rubbed her nose agianst him. "My name is Lunaria, what's yours?" She sat back to wait for a reply but all she got was a playfully meow."Why can't he talk?" she turned to me & asked. Well, because cats don't talk. His name is Renegade, and he is pleased to meet you." "But how can that be, I can talk.." She replied "Rose, I have missed you"She said as she rubbed herself agianst my hand. "Why do you keep calling me Rose? My name is Sami.not Rose." I replied as she licked Renegade's soft furry coat. "I call you that because that is your name.You are Princess Rose Unive, and I have come to take you home!" "What?" I starred at the kitten with disbeilef just as Serena & the others came through the gate. "WOW!"Ami smiled as she saw the two kittens.Mina picked up Renegade & Ami picked up Lunaria. "Hello!" Lunaria smiled as she talked. "Oh my!" Ami nearly dropped Lunaria but turned to me instead. "LUNARIA!!!!" Luna excliamed as she ran in the gate with Artimies "Auntie Luna!"Lunaria jumped down & licked Luna all over. "You two KNOW each other?" Raye asked in disbelief. "Of course, this is my long lost cousin..Lunaria..she was abandoned & lost during thew silver mellenium."Luna tried not to sound to happy but couldn't hide it well.The two playfully licked each other to show affection. "Where is Eclipse?" Artimies asked. "I don't now, I think she is back at the palace, with Queen Starr & lil Starr, Rose's sister!" Lunaria replied as she turned to me. "What are you talking about?" I said as I walked over to the pool & stuck my feet in. "I am talking about the reason I found you!"Lunaria said as she ran over to me. "That reason being?"Mina asked. Lunaria sighed. "I told you, Rose is Sami..Sami is Rose..She is supposed to be at home with her sister & mother.." Luna cut her off"Then ho do u explian her being all the way down here on Earth?"She raised an eyebrow. "Well..She was kidnapped..the night I meet her..I remember searching for my sister, Eclipse I followed her scent to the Palace, where I saw 2 children sleeping sofltly in thier beds..Eclipse was sleeping with Starr so I took my place by Rose, hoping not to wake anyone." We all nodded & listened. "But I was startled by a man that stole the sleeping Rose from her bed..I had just enough time to jump through the portal after her, but somehow, I was sent to Earth, and Rose somewhere else, I have spent nearly a year searching for the child, and I found her."She looked at me."The only thing is, the child I was searching for is now a nearly grown woman!"she explianed as she licked my hands. "So, I am a princess?" I asked in disbeilef. Lunaria nodded. "So then, how do you get back?" Ami wondered out loud. "That, I do not know.." Lunaria replied as she looked to the sky. "But if what you say is true & I am a princess,..And if you first found me that night, how do you know all about my background?How did you even know my name?" I asked the lil kitten. "Well. your name was the easy part, it was written on the foot rest of your bed, as Starr was written on the footrest of your sister's."She paused and let out a small yawn. "Why did you choose to be my gaurdian?" i wondered. "We never choose whose gaurdians we want to be." Atriemies spoke up. "That's right, it's something like..you wake up knowing what your duty is..The reason you were born."Lunaria explianed. "So in other words, what you are telling us is that you just woke up one day & thought to yourself, Hey , I gotta find Rose!?" Serena asked in disbeilef. "No no.."Lunaria laughed. "It isn't that we know who it is we are searching for, but more of what we are born to do..My goal being to find The Moon Princess.."Luna sighed as she turned to Serena, who was giggling as she watched ants gathering food. "I understand now." I nodded "Then, how can it be that.." I started to ask Lunaria but the poor kitty was fast asleep. We all got up & went in the house so not to wake her. Well, everyone but Luna who was watchin her cousin & smiling. Time passed quickly & before I knew it there was only a week left till school started,so, needing new look, I decieded to head to the mall. "rose!" Lunaria ran after me. "Can't I come along too?" She looked up at me. "i dunno.."I couldn't resist her so I bent down & picked her up."Sure.." I smiled as she licked my hand. As we walked down the isidewalk i thought about everything that had happened to me. Then I suddenly wondered why it was that I seemed so much older than 16..I felt as though I should be nearly 18..I shrugged & smiled as Lunaria watched the flowers & butterflies as we passed the park. "Now, The time has come..come queitly..or else.." I turned to see Malachite standing behind me. There behind him was a waiting portal."Make this easy, surrender Rose,You have no choice.."He said as he ripped off my backpack, sending Lunaria falling to the ground. "lunaria!"I cried as I bent down to pick her up. "Don't waist my time child!" He said as he waved his hand & I began floating inside a huge black bubble. "LUNARIA!! HELP ME!!" I yelled as the bubble got tighter & tighter. "I told you, The Negaverse always gets what it wants!" Malachite laughed as I became sleepy & once agian became overcome by dreams. "It is just as I suspected!" I awoke to see a red haired evil looking woman towering above me. "Ahh, very good, she is awake now!" The woman smiled sinisterly as she looked at me."Come, my child..I am Queen Beryl, and this is your new home!" She helped me put of the casket like bed & explianed to me where, and who I was. "Queen Beryl...i am sorry to disturb you.." A man with silver hair came running in the throne room. Following him was a dark haired man wearing a cape & armor,looking like a prince from some fairytale. "Apologize to my daughter, and I for your intrusion!"She replied sharply. "Yes." they bowed "I have news on the sailor.."The silver haired man looked up at me & starred. I smiled & he bowed once more." "Pleased to meet you ..." I stopped& looked to my mother. "Malchite.an this.." She smiled "Is Prince Darien."She took his hand & Malachite took mine. "Such a wonderfully fine, and evil woman you have turned out to be.." He replied as he took my hand "Princess DarkRose, I am pleased to meet you."With that he & Prince Darien turned to go. I was later told that I was to be the ruler of this,Negaverse, should my mother ever lose her ability to rule. I sat on my hard stone thone & remembered a faint memory. I was surrounded by those knew, and we all seemed to be soo happy.. A single tear dripped from my eye as I noticed Malachite watching from the shadows. "Hello Malachite." I spoke up. "Oh,Princess."He tried to hide a smile. "I wish to be alone now.." I didn't mean to sound harsh but another tear trickled down my face & I did not want my mother to know. "Yes,my princess.."He bowed & disappeared. I agian reverted back to my blurry memories of a time I could not remember. Soon I grew tired & fell fast asleep. I awoke with a start, having a dream that seemed so real..it was about me, I had been with a man.. "DAVE!" I yelled as i remembered his name. As I spkoe his name wind seemed to fill the air inside the throne room, and a sound of laughter & birds singin filled the dark tower. I watched in amazement as a giant blue colored hole seemed to appear out of nowhere in the middle of the room. "DarkRose!" I heard Malachite scream as he too saw it. He ran to me & we stood in amazement watching this big blue hole expand. Then, a figure emerged from the giant hole, revealing the man from my dreams. "Dave??" I asked as I walked slowly towards him. "Yes, my dear. The time has come to return once agian to where you belong. Come along now, You do not belong here." He smiled & took my hand. Suddenly i felt a calm i hadn't felt in a long time come over me. I realized in that instant that i did not belong here. "NO!" Malachite grabbed me & wraped his arms around me. "She belongs here..with me!" He seemed to almost cry as he looked into my eyes. "Mal.."I suddenly saw the hurt in his eyes i had never seen, and realized for the first time that he loved me. "Princess.."He pleaded."We can leave here, together...Seek a planet to rule, all our own. Far from this cursed place, and those cursed sailor scouts." He starred deeply into my eyes. I saw his soul through his eyes. I saw his whole life through them. He had lived his entire life in this evil place, competeing for power over & over agian. He had loved another once..Zoisite..she was killed by the very person he served..Beryl..my mother??? "Mal..listen to me,please.." I pleaded with him, he had known so much hurt, I didn't want to cause him more pain. I gently took his hand." Listen to me,please..You & I, we come from two different places, two different times.."I started to remember everything that had happened before I became the PrincessDarkRose..Beryl was evil, she was not my mother as she made me think."You and I..could never be together in the sense you are wishing for..Why don't you leave this place & find another life?" I was silenced as he used an unseen force to blow me into the stone wall behind me. He disappeared & reappered holding me in his arms. I was weak & unsteady after the blast. I looked to Dave for help. "NO!! SAMI!!" Dave became fearful for my life & he grew red with anger."You don't know who you are messing with ,GIVE UP MALACHITE!" Dave yelled. "NO! She goes with me, or doesn't leave here alive. Queen Beryl will be here soon anyway, then you will.." Dave cut him short "I hate to ruin your party but, being I have frozen time,we are the only ones here now."He smiled "Being a timelord does have it's advantages you know!."Dave smiled. I looked around me & tried to think of a way out of this. I pleaded with Malachite to let me go but it only seemed to make him more determined than ever. "Mal..please.." I began to feel very faint and begged for him to let me be once more. "I don't know how much longer.."I started to zone out but forced myself to saty awake. Malachite's icy hands were tighting around my throat, cutting off the much needed air I longed for. "Stop it! Can't you see you are killing her?" Dave cried. "I am sorry..DarkRose..I loved you.." His eyes grew red" But I will not leave without you.." He threw me to the floor & I gasped for air. Dave ran to my side onlt to be blasted back by Malachite. "Mal..I.."I tried to talk but he collapsed to the floor beside me & once agian wrapped his icy fingers around my neck. "You were never the evil woman I hoped you would be." He yelled as he tightened his fingers around me. I was desperatley trying to get free, trying to breathe. But it was hopeless. "I should have known you would turn on us.." With that he pressed his hands gently over my nose & mouth & I made one last attempt for my life. "SAMI!!" I heard Dave scream & whatched him charge at Malachite before closing my eyes & Surrendering my life at the hands of Malachite.
