46. Usagi no omoiha eienni! Atarashiki tensei (40. Day of Destiny): Part One        Sailor Moon looked up in sadness, tears quivering in her eyes.  "They- they're... dead... all dead... for me..."  She closed hereyes tightly, then let out a whoop of joy.  "FINALLY!!! I get the show to myself again!  Mine, mine, all mine!  HAHAHAHAHA!!!"  She rubbed her palms together in anticipation.  "Now with those pesky scouts out of  the way, I can take over the show!!!  HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

        Meanwhile, in the Dark Kingdom, Queen Beryl was most royally pissed off.  "How DARE she try to control the entire show!!! That's my job!!  She'll pay!!!"  Beryl touched her crystal ball and a phone appeared on top of it.  She picked up the red headset.  "Hello?  Room service?  Yes, I'd like one Sailor Moon please."  Then she paused momentarily, a look of pure horror crossing her face.  "No, No, not Chiba Usagi!  Tsukino Usagi, the one with long blonde pigtails... yes... mmm-hmm... Okay, thank you."  (Remember: Always be specific with room service.  Especially those involving Sailor Moon. -Cheryl) Beryl grinned evilly and thought about how she would make Sailor Moon pay for trying to take her job and her Endymion.  "Hmmph," she sniffed.  "He's mine."

    Sailor Moon walked around aimlessly, as usual, wondering what she should do next.  "Oh..." she whined, "it's so cold.  I know, maybe I can use the ginzoushou to make it warm again."  She pulled out the crystal from wherever she put it and started to pray.  "Please," she thought, "please warm my shivering body."  When nothing happened, Moon screeched and threw the crystal to the ground.  "Stupid rock," she muttered.  "What a worthless piece of junk.  I spent all my precious tears to get that thing and how does it repay me?  It does nothing!!!"  Sailor Moon peered upwards and saw a bright pink bubble heading towards 
her.  "AHA!!! It worked, it really worked!  I knew it would work, this whole time!"  Moon kneeled on the ground and smiled, waiting for the bubble to envelop her.  "Come, warmth; come, Mamo-chan; come, thou day in night;/ For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night/ whiter than new snow on a raven's back./ Come gentle warmth, come, loving, pink-browed warmth,/ Give me my Mamo-chan; and, when he shall die,/ Take him and cut him out in little stars,/ And he will make the face of heaven so 
warm/ That I shall never shiver with cold again..."  The pink bubble quickly encased her and brought her to Queen Beryl. (I hope you all have seen Romeo and Juliet, or at least read it.  ^_^ -Cheryl)

        "Finally," Beryl grumbled.  "It's about time."  She touched her crystal ball and the bubble popped, and Sailor Moon spilled out onto the floor.  
        "Owww!!!!  Hey, that hurt!!!"
        "What do you mean that hurt?  It was an inch from the ground!"
        "Well you could have been more careful anyhow.  Bubble-things aren't safe."    
        "What do you mean they're not safe?  They're magical!"
        Sailor Moon pointed at the floor around her.  "See?  No evidence of safety equipment.  And this!  Dust on the floor.  Is that blood I see there?"
        Beryl reddened at each accusation, looking for something to argue about.  "And so?"
        Sailor Moon finally pointed at the small bottle hidden on the floor between Queen Beryl's feet.  "And what's this?  An open bottle?"    
        "Oh, SHUT UP!!!  It's time to get on with the script."
        Sailor Moon sniffed indignantly.  "I was just trying to take safety precautions for the next time I'm kidnapped by a bad guy."
        "Yeah, yeah," Beryl replied.  She snapped her fingers and Prince Endymion came out of nowhere.  "Endymion, get rid of her.  Then go get me some asprin, I've got a headache."
        "Okay," Endymion replied.  He reached into wherever and pulled out his sword.  "Okay, methinks thou shouldst die now."
        "What?!?!  Who, me?  I don't think so.  Remember, I'm only allowed to die once each series, remember?"
        "But thou hast not died yet..."
        "Well, that's your problem!!!"  Sailor Moon threw her tiara at him and it stuck onto his forehead.  "See, Beryl?  He's mine!  He has my tiara, which means he's mine!"  Endymion sweatdropped.
        "Hey!!!  That's not fair!  I wasn't ready!"  Beryl got out of her throne for the first time ever and wobbled on unsteady legs.  "Whoa-"  She started to fall when she grabbed Endymion by his neck.  
        "What do you think you're doing?  I won him, he's mine!"  Sailor Moon grabbed Endymion's flailing left arm and started tugging.  "Let go!"
        "NO!" Beryl let go of his neck as his face was turning a shade of blue.  She grabbed his other arm and began pulling him back.  "Mine!" she cried, glaring angrily at her nemesis.  Then, she sprinkled some magic pixie dust and turned Endymion into a cardboard cut-out.  "Hahahahaha!!!" she cried.  "You can't free him now; his mind and body belongs to me!!! Even your puny ginzoushou can't break the spell I cast."
        "We'll see about that!  He's mine!"
        "Mine!"
        "Mine!"
    Suddenly both of them looked down to see that the Endymion cut-out had torn in half.  "Oh, no!" Beryl said, holding his very unhappy head.  
        "HAHAHAHAHA!!!  See," Sailor Moon said, holding up her larger portion of Endymion's body.  "Mamo-chan, she may have your mind, but your heart belongs to me."  Then she smiled wickedly as Beryl and Endymion sweatdropped.  "Mine, mine, ALL MINE!!!"
        Endymion suddenly felt this warming sensation and had the feeling that Beryl had just released his mind.  Then he soundlessly screamed in agony because Beryl had literally dropped his sore head on the floor.
        "Here I come to save the day!" Sailor Moon cried, leaping to Endymion's head.  She slobbered all over him for several minutes as he and Beryl watched with a stunned look in their eyes.  "Okay, all better now!" she stepped away to reveal a whole Endymion covered with spit.  
        "What...the..." Beryl sputtered.  "You GLUED him together with your spit?!?!"
        "Do you have a better idea?"
        "Yes!"  Snarling, Beryl picked up the nearest heavy object, which happened to be her crystal ball and threw it at Sailor Moon. "Die, Sailor Moon!"
        Endymion panicked and tried to run away, but to no avail.  The ball smacked into is head and shattered into hundreds of pieces.  "Doh..." he whispered, as the spell shattered and he became human again. 
        Sailor Moon rushed to his side.  "Mamo-chan?  Are you okay?"  She watched him wobble precariously as he had a concussion.  "Do you need help?"  Before he could reply, she rushed behind him, put her arms around his waist, and did the worst example of the Heimlich maneuver on Endymion.
        "Urgh..." Endymion groaned as Sailor Moon had applied pressure to a point below the stomach.
        "No, no, no, you're doing it all wrong!" Beryl shouted.  She somehow rushed over without falling and tried to do CPR on Endymion.  "One, two, three..." she counted as she pressed down on his stomach.
        Endymion found the strength to run away and throw up the contents of his stomach and wherever else the girls might have touched.
        "Oh, Mamo-chan, please, just don't die on me again..." Sailor Moonpleaded.  Endymion noted that for one of the very few times in the anime Usagi was acting realistic.  
        "Oh, okay... so you listen to her and not me!  Well I can prove I'm better than her!"  Beryl waved her arms around, shouted some gibberish, and turned into a fat slobbering yellow rabbit with blue eyes.  Endymion sweatdropped, and Sailor Moon was furious.  "So that's what you think of me?!?!  You'll pay for that!"  She boldly walked up to Beryl-rabbit and 
used her new attack.  "Moon-total klutziness-trip!" she cried as she suddenly had a klutz attack and tripped over the rabbit.
        Beryl waved her rabbit paws, frantically signaling to Endymion to save her, but Sailor Moon had tied a blindfold around him.  Then, Beryl slowly began to sink into the floor.  
        "Phew!  She's gone!" Moon said.
        Then a sign suddenly popped out of the quite solid floor, held by a rabbit's paw.  It read: "I'll get you Sailor Moon!!!  You haven't seen the last of me!!!"  
        Sailor Moon stepped close to the sign and announced, "I can't read it.  Endymion dear, can you read the sign out loud for me?"
        Endymion didn't move.  "Get up!" she said impatiently, poking him with her Crescent Moon Wand.  
        "Oww!" he cried, sitting up.
        "Finally," she grumbled.
        "Methinks I am supposed to be deceased, Sailor Moon."
        "Not anymore!"
        "But the lovely authors who wrote this fanfic..."  Suddenly two figures appeared next to Endymion.  
        "Why thank you, Endymion," Cheryl said.  "That was very nice of you."
        "Do you really think we're that beautiful?  I'm glad that we put you in this fanfic at all," Michelle said.
        "Okay, okay, that's enough already.  Now get back to your own reality and keep writing!"  Sailor Moon shoved the startled authors into a subspace pocket and sent them to their own reality.  
        "Oooh, you'll PAY for that!" Cheryl's voice echoed.
        "I'll get you!" Michelle shouted.
        "Just you wait!"
        "You haven't seen the last of me, Sailor Moon!"
        "Yeah, yeah, yeah," Moon said.  She grabbed Endymion by the ear and ripped the blindfold off.  "Now read!"
        "I'll get thee Sailor Moon, thou hast not seen the last of me," Endymion read dully.  "Now dost thou give me permission to die yet?"
        "Yeah, yeah, yeah, go kick the bucket now."  

        "Hmm.... maybe we should change the plot.  I mean. I feel seriously sorry for Endymion, having to be stuck with Usagi," Cheryl wondered.
        "Maybe.  I don't know.  Maybe we should set her up with Seiya.  Now that's a match."
        "No way!  Seiya's not a prince!  And besides that," Cheryl said, "Seiya deserves better than that.  Endymion is sacrificing himself for the safety of the universe by marrying her."
        Michelle sighed.  "Oh well..." 

        The ringing sound of a bucket could be heard, then Endymion topped to the ground.  "Remember, you're dead now, okay?" Endymion nodded one last time, then was still.
        "Finally!" Sailor Moon huffed.  "It's about time.  Now it's my
turn to be star of the show.  Casting one last glance at Endymion's inert body, she burst into maniacal laugher and pranced off, Kodachi- and Zoicite- style.

        Beryl-rabbit sat in the basement of the Dark Kingdom, idly munching on a carrot.  *How did I get myself into this?* she
wondered.  *Now if I had left one general alive to turn me human again...*
        Suddenly a shadow appeared above the quivering rabbit.  "Thought you could get rid of me so easily, did ya?" the thundering
voice said.  Beryl gulped in fear.
        Metallia reached over and picked up the terrified Beryl.  "I'm back, I'm bold,and much more beautiful than you ever were!
You thought you could get rid of me using DiC as an excuse?  Well you were wrong, all wrong!  Ha!"  The rabbit sweatdropped.
(Well, I certainly thought it was a good excuse! -Cheryl)
        Beryl held up a sign: *Gulp*.  In her other paw she held up another sign: Eh- heh heh heh heh... mercy, please?
        Metallia smiled broadly as stars clouded her eyes.  "Why of course, mercy!  You're my favorite sorceress.  In fact, you're
my only sorceress. Your body with live forever- but I will be living inside it!!!  HAHAHAHA!!!"
        The rabbit shrank away and clawed desperately at air to get away.  Metallia stretched her mouth open wide, like the
Coneheads, and swallowed Beryl whole.  Suddenly, in place of Metallia, there was a big, fat, rabbit.  And it was growing.  Fast.

        Sailor Moon was waiting impatiently for the rabbit to stop growing.  "Are you done yet?!?!" she yelled.  "I don't have all day
you know."
        The giant rabbit paused in its growth and turned to face Sailor Moon.  It held up a sign: What, are you in a hurry to die or
something?
        For once Moon actually tried to read the sign.  "Hey!!!  I've got things to do, you know.  Unlike some people, I lead a very
busy life that has to do with pigging out, reading comic books, talking, eating some more, then sleeping... sleeping some more..."
        Suddenly Cheryl and Michelle were there again.  "Wow," Cheryl commented.  "You know, Michelle, your life and hers are
very alike."
       "What do you mean we are alike?  I think you meant to say that you and Sailor Moon are alike," Michelle retorted.
        "Me?" Cheryl said innocently.  "But you suck, and I don't.  Sailor Moon sucks too."
        "WHAT?!?!  I don't suck you do!"  Michelle and Cheryl proceeded to alternate between arguing senselessly and beating the
crap out of each other while Sailor Moon and Metallia sweatdropped.
        Metallia-rabbit turned human again, while keeping her size, and cast a spell to banish the two authors back to their own
reality.
        "Thanks," Sailor Moon said.  "We needed that."
        "Sure thing."  Metallia looked at her watch.  "You know, I think we have to go back to our script.  But I really think it sucks.
And so do our authors."
        "HEY!!!" two voices thundered from beyond the sky.
        "You take that back this instant!  Do you hear me!"
        "We're taking both of you out of the fanfic for that!"
        Sailor Moon stuck her tongue out at the furious pair.  "Well you can't take me out of this one!  I'm the star of the show!
Nyah-nyah nyah-nyah!"
        Metallia was ticked off that Sailor Moon would be selfish enough to save herself and leave her to be taken out of the fanfic.
Then shecame up with a truly sinister idea.  "Hey authors," she sweetly called.  "Why don't you make sure that Endymion never
comes back to Princess Serenity?"
        "Hmm... that's a truly good idea..."
        "Yeah... let's do it!"
        "Hey, wait!" Moon protested.  "We're destined to be married!  What will happen to Chibi-Usa then?"
        Cheryl and Michelle exchanged looks.  "I think the world would truly be better off without her..."
        "Hmmm... I've got it!" Cheryl exclaimed.  "Why don't we give her to Dimando?  Then we can make sure Chibi-Usa never
exists!"    *And we can sentence Dimando to eternal torment...* she thought.
        "Perfect!  Finally, they can be together!  Dimando's cool..."  Michelle had stars in her eyes, fantasizing about the future
Black Moon bad guy.  The two authors left the reality.
        Sailor Moon was really pissed off.  "YOU..." she growled at Metallia.  "You'll pay for my pain!!!"
        Metallia was equally angry at Sailor Moon.  She liked Dimando, and she pitied the guy for having to be stuck with the bratty
senshi.  "Ha!!!  You don't even know how to use the crystal!"
        "I do too!"  Sailor Moon searched the surface of the ginzoushou, trying to figure out where the instructions were.  "Come on,
come on, I know they were around here somewhere..." she murmured frantically.
        "Nyah-nyah, I was right..."  Metallia gathered her strength and prepared to blast Sailor Moon.  "Now I can take over the
show and save Dimando from his hideous fate!"
        "What!  No!!"  Sailor Moon called upon the spirits of the inner senshi, her friends.  "Help me, please..."
        "Why should we?" Mars asked.  "Do it yourself!"
        "Oh, come on guys, we might as well, I guess," Jupiter said.
        "Traitor!  She didn't exactly miss us when we died..." Venus said.
        "Well, why don't we help her so we can go back, defeat Metallia, be reincarnated, and beat up Usagi?" Mercury suggested.
        The three girls were astonished.  "What a good idea!  Thanks Mercury!"
        "Don't mention it," she smoothly replied.  "Now let's go!"  The four senshi' spirits came back from the dead and quickly
instructed Sailor Moon how to use the ginzoushou before Metallia struck.
        "Gee, thanks!" Moon said.
        "Just hurry up and blast Metallia out of the fanfic..." Mars replied.
        "Oh, fine.  Here... goes!"  Sailor Moon twirled in place for a few minutes, then waved her hands around while shouting some
gibberish.  Meanwhile, Metallia was sweatdropping while the spirits of the four senshi sat down talking.
        "Did you really know how to use the crystal?" Venus asked.  "I didn't."
        "Neither did I," Mercury admitted.
        "No idea whatsoever."
        "Nope."
        "Oh well," Venus cheerfully commented, "at least she can die and we can beat her up as ghosts."  The other four girls
nodded, watching.
       Sailor Moon topped it off by doing some backflips, walking upside-down, and a speech about lowering taxes.  Then spreading
her arms apart while standing on one toe, she balanced the ginzoushou on her nose.  Finally, she formed a spit-bubble and watched
it slowly float across the ice towards her enemy.
        Metallia gulped.  *This was not supposed to happen!* she thought.  "You can't do this to me!!!" she screeched, as the tiny
bubble bounced on the ground a few times, then squeezed her inside.  "I'll be back!!!"
        Sailor Moon dropped the crystal on the ground and sat down.  Suddenly Metallia appeared next to her.  "Okay, next time,"
she said, "make bubbles the right size.  Here, let me show you how to do it."  So, for the next hour or so, Metallia instructed Sailor
Moon on creating spit bubbles and making them the right size.
        "Oh, thanks.  Now I might be able to do it better next time!"
        "Anytime."  Then Metallia returned to the tiny bubble and resumed her screaming, because there simply wasn't enough space
in the bubble.
        "Ugh," Sailor Moon groaned.  "I've learned too many things in one day.  I must... sleep..."  Then she keeled over and died.

        "Please, Queen Serenity," Michelle pleaded.  "You must reconsider!"
        "Certainly there can be another star of the show- Venus, maybe?"
        The regal queen shook her head sadly.  "I'm sorry, girls, there is not much I can do about it.  My decision is final."
        "I don't suppose we could threaten her..." Michelle suggested.
        "No!  Queen Serenity is cool.  Neo-Queen Serenity doesn't come near her coolness," Cheryl whispered back.
        "Well, we tried.  Thank you, Queen Serenity."  Michelle bowed, then turned to Cheryl.  "You going yet?"
        "You go ahead," Cheryl replied.  "I'll be there soon."  Michelle vanished with a splash of color- more elegant now that she
was leaving by her own will for once- that left both Serenity and Cheryl dripping wet.
        "Ugh, not again... I'm sorry, I'll have to talk to her about that," Cheryl apologized.
        Queen Serenity smiled, wringing out her beautiful dress.  "So, what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?"
        "Well... I... um, well, you see-" Cheryl began.  Seeing the calm look in Serenity's eyes, she got her words straight.  "I was
wondering if there were any senshi positions available."
        "Senshi positions?"  Queen Serenity pursed her lips, deep in thought.  "I'll have to think about it."
        "Puh-leaaaassse?"
        Serenity smiled, then made an offer.  "I know," she said, "I'll make you a senshi for an episode, and I will continue searching
for an empty position."
        "In return?"
        "Let my daughter marry Endymion.  Although I feel sorrow for him- with Usagi acting like a pig, a slob, and spoiled brat and
all," Serenity paused, feeling compassion for the doomed prince.  "Maybe some of his influence will rub off on her."  Then she
grimaced.  "Or he'll just learn to put up with her."
        Cheryl immediately accepted.  "Thank you, thank you, oh thank you!"  The author vanished in a sudden bluish breeze.

        Mammoru walked down the street, trying to block out his head pain.  "From whence did mine headache come from?" he
mused, trying to recall the last few days.  He couldn't really remember anything... except for a horrifying ordeal involving a tall
red-head and a pair of yellow meatballs.  "What a strange dream..."
        He looked across the street and noticed a screaming mass of yellow dashing through the streets, blocking up traffic and
hurling cars aside.  Another flurry of yellow hair rushed through the sidewalks, but it was quieter and posed less of a threat to
human society.  One of them, the noisier, seemed familar... but he just couldn't place it.
        Sighing, Mammoru turned to the newspaper stand and picked up the latest edition.  The headline read: MYSTERIOUS
BISHOUJO SENSHI SAILOR CHERYL SAVES TOKYO.  *The Sailor Senshi?  Why dost that name ring a bell?*  He
looked at the blurry picture of a familiar robber being held captive by the senshi in question.  The grinning girl wore a dark
blue-and-white fuku with an outrageously short skirt, while the robber appeared to be shouting at the senshi.  *Michelle...?  How do I know her name?*  Mammoru sighed again and walked home, waiting for the next season to
begin so he could regain all his lost memories.
