Act 6: Tuxedo Mask
"Tuxedo Mask: Friend Or Enemy?" I read off the TV. They seriously recorded that?
"Sailor V would've done something about this thief!" a protester yelled.
"Sailor Moon, what is your opinion on this man?" a reporter said, holding a microphone up to Sailor Moon, who was me... but this is recorded of course.
"Tuxedo Mask is not evil! He helps us!"
"Then why does he steal? Why does he break and enter?" I stared at my speechless self, my heart breaking. He isn't evil... but he commits crimes... what am I supposed to think?!
"Good morning, Lillie." I turn and see my brother walking in. I turned off the TV.
"Hey..."
"Something wrong?" he asked me. Umm... He can't know!
"I-just-remembered-that-I've-got-somewhere-to-be!" I shouted, grabbing Luna and running out the door.
"What was that for, Lillie?!" Luna yelled when I put her down.
"I needed to escape... why don't we go visit the princess?"
"For once you say something sensible..."
"Luna!!!"
We walked up to Aina Cafeteria and opened the door. I saw the place wasn't as full as I thought. I walked up to the desk thingy and waited. Soon enough, Mallow came.
"Hello! Welcome to Aina Cafeteria!" she said.
"Hi, princess!" I greeted.
"Don't call me that in public!" she whispered.
"Sorry, princess..." I whispered back. Mallow facepalmed. She then led me to a table.
"Take over for me, brother!" Mallow called to a green-haired boy that looked just like her. That must be her brother. We sat down at a table that was kinda isolated from the others and talked.
"Princess," I began. "Why do you work at a restaurant?"
"Because I was reborn into this life. My family runs this place."
"Oh... but why are you the princess? Honestly, I was thinking that I was the princess, because I, ya know, am Sailor Moon?"
"That's a very funny question. I guess I was just reborn like this."
"That makes a little bit of sense to me..."
"Do you want anything to eat?"
"No thank you, princess!" I said. She looked at me. "I mean... no thanks, Mallow! Thank you for your time." I got up and left, Luna following me...
"Hey, Lillie!"
"Gah! Sophocles! What're you doing here?"
"Searching for the Sailor Scouts, of course. The whole town's looking for them."
"But I thought you were hardcore Sailor V... you've always BEEN hardcore Sailor V!"
"Not anymore." Weird...
"Wait... the whole town?!?!" Sophocles just smiled creepily before going back to his search.
But the whole town is looking for us...
Why?!?!
"Lillie!" I heard Luna say. "I think this has to do with the Dark Kingdom!"
"What's the Dark Kingdom?"
"They're the bad guys you've been fighting!"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?!?!"
"You'll have to purify the whole city if they're all looking for you?!?!"
"What about Mercury? And Mars? And the princess?"
"They have to guard her in case the enemy strikes! This is your duty as the leader of the Sailor Scouts!!!" My... duty...?
"Well... when you put it that way... Moon Prism Power, Make Up!" I ran all across town, easily catching everyone's attention. I stopped in the center of town and stood on top of a building.
"Moon... Healing..." I began, charging up my purification attack. "Escalation!!!" I launched healing waves all across town and purified. I feel drained of my energy... ugh...
I feel myself collapse... but not onto the floor...
"T-Tuxedo... Mask?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile...
I finally found you, Tuxedo Mask. You should take your own advice.
Never let anyone follow you home.
"Okay. We found his den. Now can we just go?"
"Don't be so impatient, Artemis!"
"So... what're you gonna do then?"
"He has Sailor Moon in there so... Crescent Moon Power! Transform! Change me into a Mysterious Figure!"
Artemis facepalmed.
"Seriously?"
"What? Neither of them must see me true form!"
"Whatever..."
