Chad:        So who is who?

Amanda:        Im Chibi Mercury.

Cassie:        Im Chibi Jupiter.

Kristi:        And Im Chibi Venus.

Chad:        You no way!

Serena puts her hands on her hips.

Serena:        Yes way!

Chad:        But if you Sailor Moon then that means that Darien is

Darien:        Tuxedo Mask.

Chad:        Well that explains why you would leave so suddenly when the guys were hanging out.

Darien:        Sorry.

Chad:        Sokay man.  What you were doing was more important.

Raye:        Uh, guys can I have some time alone with Chad.

Chad picks up his bag and is about to walk out the door when Raye jumps in front of him and stops him from going anywhere.

Raye:        You are not leaving me with a broken heart again mister.

Chad:        Hummmppph!

Raye grabbed by wrapping her arms around his neck and then she crushed her lips against Chads and after Chad realized what was happening he returned the kiss with equal vigor.

Chad:        Wow!

Raye:        If you stay I promise many more kisses like that.

Chad:        Then Ill never leave.

Raye:        Thats the way I want it.

Molly:        Ive missed him so much, but I doubt he misses me that much.

Serena:        Why dont you tell him how you feel?

Molly:        Serena!  If you remember right I tried that before and all he did was treat me like a buddy.

Serena:        Well try again.

Molly:       I couldnt.

Serena:        Well maybe hell be at the pageant.

Molly:        Maybe.

 

Scene: Erics House

 

Eric is in his room practicing his song until he heard something at the door and he decided that it might be Rini so he stopped so she wouldnt hear the surprise.  He goes to the door and opens it, but there is no one there so he walks out side to see if the person was running away and then a Droido grabbed him around the waist.  The Droido flew off with Eric while Eric was trying to get free.

Eric:                Rini, help me!

 

Scene: Rinis Room

 

Rini is sitting on her bed when she gets a psychic jolt.  She drops the book she was reading and runs out into the living room where Serena and Darien are sitting and relaxing.

Rini:                Eric is in trouble.

Serena:                How do you know that?

Rini:        I dont know how I know all I know is that I heard him in my mind and he was yelling for my help.

Darien:        Serena, I think they may have a mental link like we do.

Rini:        We have to go help him.

Darien kneels in front of Rini and puts her shoulders in his hands.

Darien:        We will Rini dont worry.

Rini:        Ive got to go call the Chibi scouts.

Rini starts to run to her room to call the girls.

Serena:        Wouldnt it be easier to call them with this?

Serena holds up a pink and yellow communicator with a crescent moon on the lid.

Rini:        Thanks mom.

Rini grabs the communicator and immediately starts calling the Chibi Scouts.

Eric:        Let me go!

Birtie:        Never!  Were waiting for your little friend Sailor Chibi Moon.

Eric:        What do you want her for?

Birtie:        She is the leader of the Chibi Scouts.

Eric:        What do you need her for?

Birtie:        That is none of your business.  Droido!

Droido:        Yes, mistress Birtie.

Birtie:        When Chibi Moon arrives capture her and get rid of that nosey kid.

Droido:        Yes, my mistress.

CMoon:        Let him go now!  I will not let you terrorize the ones I love and my friends by kidnapping them in the name of the Moon and Crystal Tokyo I will punish you.

Droido:        Lets see you try.

CMoon:        You asked for it.

Eric:        All right, all right.

He kisses her on the forehead and then on the lips.

Eric:        See you tomorrow my love.

Rini:        Goodbye till tomorrow.

Rini closes the door and goes to bed.

 

Scene:        The next day at the park

 

Serena:        (thinking) I cant wait for the girls to se their surprises.  Especially Molly shes been so down lately.  Well what we have planned should cheer her up.

Just then the pageant starts

DJ:        Everyone do we have a treat for you.

Rini:        This is so exciting.

Molly:        I guess.

Serena:        Come on Molly cheer up.

Lita:        Yeah, Im sure Melvin is here somewhere.

Mina:        You probably just havent seen him yet.

Amy:        Dont worry youll see him again.

Raye:        Even I think so and Im not usually this positive.

Just then the DJ introduced someone.

DJ:        And now we have a new hometown boy who is going to sing a song for his one and only love. Heres Eric!

Eric walks out on stage and grabs a mike and the music starts.

Eric:        This is for the one and only love of my life, Rini Shields, the Queen of my heart.

The music hits the note and he begins to sing.

Eric:

Lookin' back on child hood days,

I can't believe my foolish phase,

I thought that Christmas only came from a star,

And to know what was there for me underneith the Christmas tree,

I didn't know that there could be so much more,

But in all of the rush I was minnig so much,

Girl you make me finally see,

 

*Chorus Begins*

And I never knew th meaning of Christmas till you came into my life,

I was lost in the dark till you opened my heart like an angel shining bright,

I wished on a star and girl here you are,

Suddenly I realize that I never knew the meaning of Christmas till I looked into your eyes,

*Chorus Ends*

 

Coming home for the holidays seeing friends from along the ways,

There was always something missing for me,

On a sleigh ride caroling didn't really mean anything,

Without that someone who can make it complete,

While the snow's falling down there was joy all around,

Cause girl you love has showed me the way

 

CHORUS

 

But in all of the rush I was missing so much,

Girl you make me finally see,

 

CHORUS

 

And I never knew the meaning of Christmas till I looked into your eyes

By the end of the song Rini is balling her eyes out as Eric repeated the chorus one more time. Then he jumped of the stage and gave Rini a huge kiss and she gets a surprised look on her face as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. Then he put the mike to his mouth.

Eric:        Rini you have made me see the meaning of Christmas when I looked into your eyes.

He kissed her once more and then he handed the mike to the DJ and he sat down next to Rini.

Serena:        (thinking) Melvin should be up next I hope Molly likes this.

DJ:        Our next singer is another hometown boy who is trying to win back his love for Christmas. 

Mollys eyes began to shimmer with unshed tears as she heard this and her hopes rose a little.

DJ:        Heres Melvin!

Mollys tears only started when she say Melvin walk onto the stage and start to speak.

Melvin:        Molly, I know that we grew apart, but I miss you so much and this song expresses how I feel.  Hit it.

Melvins voice was incredible and this is the song he sang.

Melvin:

You sheltered me from harm.

Kept me warm, kept me warm

You gave my life to me Set me free,

Set me free

 

The finest years I ever knew

were all the years I had with you

I would give anything I own,

Give up me life, my heart, my home.

 

I would give everything I own,

just to have you back again.

You taught me how to love,

What its of, what its of.

 

You never said too much,

but still you showed the way,

and I knew from watching you.

Nobody else could ever know

the part of me that can't let go.

 

I would give anything I own,

Give up me life, my heart, my home.

I would give everything

I own Just to have you back again.

Is there someone you know,

you're loving them so,

but taking them all for granted.

 

You may lose them one day,

someone takes them away,

and they don't hear the words you

long to say I would give anything I own,

Give up me life, my heart, my home.

 

I would give everything I own Just to have you back again

Melvin:        I love you Molly!

He hoped down off the stage and walked up to Molly.

Melvin:        Will you except me back Molly?

By this time Molly is bawling just like Rini and she can only nod and throw herself into his arms.  When she regains her voice she speaks to him.

Molly:        Of course I will Ive missed you so.  I love you too Melvin!

DJ:        The next surprise comes from four guys who wan to see their love for Christmas.

Just then Greg, Ken, Chad, and Andrew walk onto the stage.

Greg:        Im singing this for Amy.

Ken:        Lita.

Chad:        Raye.

Andrew:        And Im singing this song for Mina.

All:        We love you!

All four girls nearly faint but the y stay up when they realize the guys are singing a song for them.

Guys:

Snowy nights where its warm near by the fire,

Here with you I have all that I desire,

Its been a long year but some how we got by,

Now its Christmas Eve and love is on our side.

 

*CHORUS Begins*

I don't need a hundred gifts beneath the tree,

Don't you know the best thing you could give to me,

Nothing else will do all I want is you this Christmas.

*CHORUS Ends*

 

Children sing Christmas Carols at our door,

Spreading joy thats what Christmas time is for,

Though we don't have much you've got me and I've got you,

And with a little faith miracles come true,

 

CHORUS

 

I don't want the love of any other girl,

I want only one thing in this whole wide world,

Nothing else will do all I want is you this Christmas

 

Ching ka Ching the lights are low,

A kiss beneith the mistletoe,

Your face lit by the fire's glow,

Thats all I want tonight

 

CHORUS

 

Nothing else will do all I want is you this Christmas.

 

The guys jump of the stage and they kiss their girls and everyone decides that theyve had enough for one night and go home to enjoy Christmas Eve dinner with the ones they love.

 

What will become of all this?  What is it with these enemies?  Why are they here?  What do they want with the Chibi Scouts? Find out in the next episode of. . .
