This Sailor Moon fanfic was sent to me by a student with an email address, 
and since the school year has closed, I'm not sure if I can reach him.  There 
is no real identification (the e-mail address falls under the name of 
Paladin), so I can't give any credit, I can't add it to my Web page 
(Operation: Reality Check) since it doesn't include the Reality Jumpers, and 
since I don't know anywhere else to put it (which reminds me, how 'bout we 
make a fanfic: Search for MegaZone? :) ), I'm putting this fanfic up for 
grabs.

This is a crossover between Sailor Moon and Superman.  I read the first few 
lines and decided not to continue.  I want to hear the comments on this one 
as well.
--------------------------------------------
                             Superman vs. Sailor Moon

	"On behalf of the moon I will punish you!"
	"What's with her?" thought the Last Son of Krypton as he was confronted 
by a band of young sailor suited females. He had just been flying back to 
Metropolis from his life saving expedition in Manchuria, and decided to stop 
off in Tokyo for some shiitake mushrooms and carrots, his favorite oriental 
dish. As he flew in to stop at a restaurant he was assaulted by the group, 
and wasn't exactly sure of their motives for the attack. 
	"You're moon dust Nega-Trash... Moon Tiara Magic!"
	As the Magical discus flew through the air towards the big red "S" on 
his chest, The Man of Steel chuckled inwardly.
	"What does she expect a glow-in-the-dark Frisbee to do to the most 
powerful being in the universe?"
"Something is not right here," he thought, more seriously.
	As the thought concluded the brilliant flash of light struck him in the 
chest, plunging deep inside.
	"Rao!" he exclaimed.
	"Magic!" he thought, "nothing else could have done this, Yeerrgh!"
	The Man of Tomorrow yelped as he ripped the object from his thoracic 
cavity.
	"I gotta get out of here, fast!"
						***

	"What was that, Usagi?!" Sailor Mars barked harshly.
	"I was destroying a Nega-monster!" Sailor Moon retorted.
	"How could you tell he was from the Negaverse? He didn't look like any 
monster I've seen," said Sailor Venus.
	This made Sailor Moon stop and think about what she had done, 'Boy I 
probably just botched it again, I mean Mako didn't even attack, and she's 
normally the one to do something without thinking about it first, well I 
guess I do too, but I could have seriously hurt someone,' she thought, just 
then her eyes grew wide and filled with tears as she sputtered.
	"Don't worry, I was just about to attack too, right before he flew off," 
consoled Sailor Moon's giant friend, Sailor Jupiter.
	That didn't answer Venus' question, however, but being too polite, she 
let the subject drop. Mars, on the other hand, had no reservations to ask 
again.
	"What made you think he was a monster!?"
	"Weeeell, he flew, and that "S" probably meant "sinister" or "satanic" 
or something," Moon offered.
	"Hold on everybody, I scanned the entity with my computer, he emitted 
vast amounts of energy. He could easily have been from the Negaverse," Sailor 
Mercury finally piped up, on Moon's behalf.
	"But I got no strange vibes from him," said their guardian and trainer 
Luna, a talking cat.
	"Neither did I," Mars said.
	"Well, in that case, we need to track him down," resolved Venus,"we need 
to know if he's okay."
	So the group abandoned their training session and went in the direction 
of the stranger.
						***
	Superman's Kryptonian genotype allowed for a quick healing process, but 
this wound was deep, and his immune system was draining his power. He needed 
a way to get away from his aggressors, so he ducked into a small alley way 
and proceeded to do a split second Clark Kent change. 
	Looking around and smelling the smells, he found a restaurant about a 
mile down the road that served his favorite meal. As he walked he saw his 
aggressors turn the corner walking at a quick pace. Clark walked calmly down 
the street, knowing they wouldn't notice him.

						***
	"OOOOH! I'm sooooooooo hungry,"  Sailor Moon moaned as they walked by a 
restaurant. "That smells sooooooooo good!"
	"GEEESH Sailor Moon, you're such a whiner!" Mars shot back.
	"Actually, it's been a while since any of us has eaten, it would be wise 
to partake  some sustenance," Mercury justified.
	"Yeah!" the other senshi shouted.
	"Fine, here's a good place let's get something here, but we gotta 
hurry!" Mars conceded.
	The senshi transformed back to their civilian forms where no one would 
see them, then walked into the restaurant. The restaurant was empty, except 
for a large man sitting in the corner by himself already eating, the group 
sat at a table and waited for service.
	"Hey look at the hunkster in the corner, he reminds me of my old 
boyfriend!" Mako said.
	"Yeah, but about fifty years older!" said Minako jokingly.
	"Hey, he's not that old, maybe thirty. But he sure is cute," Mako 
defended.
	"Yeah, but he's eating shiitake mushrooms, eww yech," continued Mina.
	"And carrots, blech, they're probably stir fried too, makes my skin 
crawl," said Usagi.
	"I don't understand you, your name is Usagi, but you don't like 
carrots," said Rei.
	"I can't help it if they taste sooo awful."
	Just then the waitress came by and took their orders.
						***

	As Clark ate his food he noticed a group of teen-aged girls come in. 
There was one that reminded him of his ex-fiancée Lois Lane. His heart still 
ached from being dumped mercilessly by the woman he had planned to spend the 
rest of eternity with. That feeling, combined with his injury made him forget 
all about the girls who had walked in until he heard them talking about him. 
Ever since he was eighteen, and his powers had started to fully develop he 
would enjoy listening in on conversations about him, mostly because they 
would be about his large rippling muscles, or how cute he was. This 
conversation was no different. He also enjoyed the distraction.
	He was listening intently until the conversation went off track and the 
dark haired one, Rei was it? started flaming the one with the meatball hair, 
he suddenly laughed to himself.
	"Ah, to be a teenager again, those were the times," he thought.
	A waitress approached his table, probably to clear it. Suddenly there 
was a muffled 'poof' and a little smoke, in the waitress' place stood a 
miniature man wearing a derby and smoking a cigar.
	"Hah! so you want to be a teen again? I can arrange that," said the 
little man.
	"What?! Oh it's you. Haven't you done enough to me for one life time?" 
Clark said, a little on the unexcited side.
	"Is that any way to treat an old friend, aren't you surprised to see 
me?" asked the funny little man.
	"Not really."
	"Oh, I see, the Lois situation has you bummed out, women are, er, tricky 
things, but that tall one over there has a major crush on you!" 
	"Get to the point, why are you here? What do you want from me?"
	"My friend! I am astounded! You think so little of me. I am here to help 
you get through your troubled times."
	"Oh? and how do you plan on doing that?"
	"I'm going to make you forget Lois and have a good time, I'll make you a 
teen-ager again."
	"Two questions, why? and what if I don't want to?"
	"To answer your second question, You have no choice, your first 
question, well you'll have to figure that one out on your own. So here goes."
	"I suppose it's useless to resist?"
	"You got it. Ready?"
	"No."
	"Good!"
						***
	In the middle of some squarbling Rei got a jolt from a strange force 
that appeared out of nowhere.
	"You know guys, I suddenly got a strange feeling," Rei said.
	"Uh-oh, whenever she says that something bad is bound to happen," said 
Usagi, jokingly.
	"Get serious Usagi! There is definitely something wrong here!"
	"Some disturbance in the force?"
	"I'm a Shinto priestess, not Kempo!"

						***
	 The scene is interrupted by a bright flash, and resets.
						***
	"Wow, look at that hunkster over there in the corner, he reminds me of 
my old boyfriend, but he's cuter cause my boyfriend dumped me," said Mako.
	"Yeah? what's new?" said Minako.
	The group started to giggle as Mako blushed.
	"Why don't you go over and talk to him? He seems a little lonely," Usagi 
suggested.
	"What would I say?"
	"You can start by talking about his taste in food, carrots? Blech."
	"And shiitake mushrooms, yuck!" Minako added.
	"Weeell, oh why not?" said Mako. 
	"Mako started on her way over to the teen sitting in the corner.
						***
	A young Clark Kent sat in a confused daze, having his memory of the past 
decade or so tucked away in the dark recesses of his mind. 
	He no longer remembered any of the events of that day, nor did he 
remember anything past his eighteenth birthday, what he did know is that he 
wasn't in Kansas any more. 
	"Hello! How are you? My name is Mako. What's yours?"
	Trying to hide his confusion in the presence of this strange and lovely, 
albeit younger lady, he stammered, "Clark."
	"Hi, Clark, I noticed you were, um, alone, and I thought you might like 
some company."
	She seemed friendly enough to Clark, so he decided he could trust her, 
possibly.
	"That's very kind of you, er, can I ask you something?" 
	The question seemed to excite Mako, her eyes widened as she sat down and 
she said, "Anything!"
	"Where am I?"
	"What a silly question," Mako giggled. 
	After a long, awkward silence she said, "I'm sorry, you are obviously 
not from around here, where do you come from."
	"Kansas."
	"Where's that?"
	"You mean you've never heard of Kansas?"
	"Well, geography isn't my best subject."
	"Kansas is a little state in the plains region of the United States."
	"The United States?! What are you doing here all alone?"
	"If you would tell me where here is, I might be able to answer that."
	"Oh! My apologies, I didn't know you were serious. You're in Tokyo.
	"Tokyo?! As in Japan?! My God! How did I get here? How is it I can 
understand you? I can't speak or understand Japanese, you don't even look 
oriental!"
	"You mean you don't know how you got here?" 
	"All I know is that I was out on my parents' farm milking the cow, and 
then boom, I'm here."
	"Well, it's not the strangest thing I've heard, but it's close."
	"You've gotta believe me, I don't understand it either, but I have to 
figure out what's going on."
	"Slow down, I'm sure we can figure this out. As far as not looking 
oriental, it's because  the animators direct our show towards NA and European 
audiences."
	"Huh?"
	"Oh never mind, let me introduce you to some of my friends."
	The two got up and walked towards the group of girls at their table. 
They exchanged courtesies, and Mako explained the problem.
	"You know, I get the feeling that I know this guy," said Rei to Ami, 
while Usagi, Minako and Mako were distracted by Clark.
	"I'll scan him and see what I can find out," said Ami.
						***
	"Nice work Mr. Mxyzpltk. Now I have the energy I need to strike back 
against the Sailor Senshi!" said Nephrite.(For any SM fan that doesn't follow 
the Superman story line Mxyzpltk is a magical prankster from the fifth 
dimension that uses Superman as the butt of his jokes. His trade marks are 
his derby and cigar. He gets bored with immortality and can be compared to Q 
for you Star Treck fans. Mxyzplkt often plays some sort of game with 
Superman, with rules that are in his own favor. Superman usually finds some 
way to banish Mxyzpltk back to the fifth dimension, however.)
	"I suppose that the humor of the situation is enough to keep me 
satisfied for a while. That was an excellent idea of yours, Ha, Ha! Turning 
Superman into a child and sucking up all of his residual energy," said Mr. 
Mxyzpltk as he puffed his cigar and slapped Nephrite on the back.
	"I would have absorbed yours, had your energy been compatible with my 
needs!" 
	"Don't use that tone with me! Were it not for me you would still be 
stuck in limbo. I could always put you back!" he said with a serious look on 
his face.
	"Yes, I am sorry, I forgot my place. I must consult with the stars  to 
find out what to do next."
	"Go on ahead, astro-boy."
	'Yes, yuck it up dwarf, as soon as I get all the energy I need I will 
destroy you for good!' Nephrite thought to himself.
	Nephrite entered his sanctuary, and started to speak with the stars, a 
joy he had not experienced since before he was destroyed. "Show me my beloved 
Naru," he commanded. The stars displayed a picture of a red headed girl, a 
tear streamed from his eye. "You were the one who taught me to love, my 
dearest one. I wish I could hold you now, but I must be a pawn in that 
midget's little game first."
	He wished he could exact his revenge on Zoisite, but he knew that 
Zoisite was most likely lying in the frozen wasteland of the Nega Verse, 
because the Senshi were still around. And Queen Beryl was most likely 
vanquished, otherwise the earth would have been consumed by now. He did 
partially blame the Senshi for his fate, because he could not destroy them. 
After thinking about his situation, he would much rather just let bygones be 
bygones, but he was bound to the Mr. Mxyzpltk, and whatever sick game he 
wanted to play involved Nephrite trying to destroy the Senshi. After all, 
without him, he would never get to see Naru again. He must destroy the 
Senshi! Knowing who there leader is in real life would make it easier for 
him...
	"Why don't I just seek help from the Senshi to overthrow my master, then 
I could live out the rest of my days in peace," He thought. "Oh stars, show 
me the key to my deliverance, I beg you."
	The stars flashed a picture of a young sturdy man, surrounded by a group 
of even younger women.
	"The pretty boy!? How could he possibly help me? Mxyzpltk sucked him of 
all his energy! Or did he? Perhaps this boy has far more potential than I 
anticipated."
	The image dimmed and blacked out, Nephrite knew that questioning the 
stars would offend them, but he had always gotten his answer, in due time.
	"Right now I must focus on finding that boy."
						***
	"My computer shows that he has the same type of energy of the man we had 
attacked earlier, he could know something about him," said Ami.
	"I say we ask him," Rei said, "Excuse me, uh, Clark? You don't happen to 
know any guys who can fly and wear a red "S" and blue tights do you?"
	"Rei!" exclaimed Ami, a little embarrassed at her friends 
forthrightness.
	"Huh? Oh, that's the Smallville drunk, but he doesn't really fly, he 
just runs around with his arms spread out screeching, 'I'm a bird, I'm a 
plane!' he's harmless. How would you know about him?" 
	"I'm not talking about him! I'm talking about some guy we saw earlier 
today."
	'Hmm. What would the drunk be doing in Tokyo? Or perhaps she could mean 
me, but I just learned how to fly not too long ago, and I wasn't flying over 
Tokyo today,' thought Clark, 'and lord knows I don't wear an "S" or blue 
tights, this guy they saw must be some kind of fashion freak.'
	"I haven't a clue," said Clark aloud.
	"Hey Rei, why don't you ask your fire?" suggested Usagi.
	"That's the first good idea that's come out of your mouth this century," 
said Rei.
	"Stick around, it gets better!" Usagi shot back defiantly through 
gritted teeth.
	"Settle down you two," said Mako, "we still have Clark to think about."
	"Well if Rei weren't so mean..."
	"Come on let's get going," said Minako.
						***
	The group sat behind Rei as she spoke to the mystical flame, Clark was 
still a bit dazed, and now was even more confused by the ritual of the flame. 
Mako, sensing his discomfort, took a hold of his hand and assured him that 
this was an every day practice and the flame was never wrong.
	"Oh god of fire, please help us, show us where that man we encountered 
today!" Rei commanded.
	An image appeared and swirled around for a while, then it cleared and 
showed a mirror image of Clark.
	"Dear God, that's me!" he exclaimed.
	"What!?" the group asked, puzzled.
	"But I wasn't attacked today!"
	"And you don't look as old as the man we attacked today," said Ami.
	"Hey the fire is never wrong!" shouted Rei miffed.
	"Well, there's only two scenarios, either the fire is wrong..."
	"And it's not," interrupted Rei, a little more than miffed.
	"Or Clark is the man we attacked today and doesn't remember," continued 
Ami.
	"Well how is it that he looks ten years younger?" asked Mina.
	"Good question, my mom could definitely use his secret, but I really 
don't know, perhaps he just looked older," suggested Ami.
	"So you can fly huh?" Usagi asked Clark, "what else can you do?"
	"Well, a couple days ago I found out I could shoot beams of intense heat 
from my eyes,"  Clark didn't mind bragging, but decided to keep his X-ray 
vision a secret due to obvious reasons.
	"Hey, kinda like Usagi, she shoots streams of water from her eyes every 
time she trips over her own feet," said Mako jokingly.
	"Hey, that's enough out of you, one more remark like that, and I will 
punish you!"
	That phrase sent a shock through Clark, he remembered something locked 
deep within his mind.
	"Yyyyyouu! You did attack me," he said, as fear shot through him, 
bringing back the throbbing of his chest wound, "Get me outta here!"
	There was a sudden swoosh, and where Clark had stood just nano-seconds 
ago, there was nothing. 
					***
	Miles away, in the middle of a play ground he stopped, clutching his 
chest. 'What's happened to me?' he wondered, there was a rustling noise 
behind the dazed young super-hero.
	"Hello. You do not know me but I need your help."
	Clark spun around and before him stood a tall, slender, long haired man, 
whom he did indeed not know.
	"Huh? how can I help you?"
	"I was hoping you could tell me. All I know is that you are key to my 
freedom," the man replied.
	"Look, it's been a very hard day for me, I just want to know what's 
going on!"
	"No need to get angry, boy, I'll tell you what, how about we try to help 
each other."
	"Give me one good reason why!"
	"What choice do you have?"
	"Well, I could turn you into a cinder!"
	"Ha, Ha, Ha! That is a joke!"
	"You doubt me?"
	"I don't doubt your powers, you must be powerful for the stars to send 
me to you for help. But I do doubt your ability."
	"Oh yeah? Well doubt this!"
	A wave of rippling heat shot from the youths' eyes, The man nimbly 
leaped over and behind the lad, hitting him with an energy blast that would 
have obliterated any other man.
	"Argh! That hurt!" Clark was bent over with pain, but mustered the 
strength for one more charge. This time he ran straight at the man with 
blinding speed. At the last moment the man leaped again, but Clark was ready, 
he flew straight up in an attempt to grab the man. He was stopped with a 
swift and sure kick to the jaw that was just strong enough to be startling. 
Clark fell to the ground and just sat there.
	The man fell to the ground and rolled out of a potentially painful 
landing. He was nursing his foot, for he had underestimated the boy, and 
broke his foot on his jaw. So he hovered in the air to hide his weakness.
	"Do you see now, whelp? You can't beat me, and I don't want to hurt you, 
we can help each other. You are too weak to fight any more," the man 
reasoned.
	"Yes, I will help you, if you can tell what's going on," Clark said 
weakly.
	"I will tell you as much as I know, boy, the rest is your worry. We have 
not been introduced properly, my name is Nephrite." he said as he offered 
Clark his hand.
	"Clark," he said, as he took Nephrite's hand.
	The two disappeared into the night.
						***
	"Where'd he go?" asked Usagi.
	Ami whipped out her hand held computer and punched a complicated series 
of buttons, that resulted in a beeping noise.
	"I've pinpointed his location, he's in the park, and there is another 
being of great energy with him!" she said.
	"How can your computer possibly know that?" asked Mina.
	"I'm a genius, I can program my computer to do anything," was Ami's 
reply.
	"Well, at least you're not conceited about it!" said Mako.
	"Hey! Give credit where credit is due is what I say," said Rei.
	"Um, guys, shouldn't we be out there trying to find Clark?" asked Usagi.
	The rest of the group blushed at the fact that they had to be reminded 
of this by Usagi, since she is the flakiest of the group.
	"I hesitate to say this, but Usagi's right. we should be trying to 
locate Clark," Luna finally piped up, after being silenced in the presence of 
an outsider.
	"Yeah, chalk one up for the rabbit," quipped Artemis.
	"Hey, where'd you come from?" asked Mako.
	"You know us cats, always popping up out of nowhere," he replied," now 
transform everyone."
	"Right," chorused the group.
	"Moon Crystal Power!"
	"Venus Star Power!"
	"Mars Star Power!"
	"Mercury Star Power!"
	"Jupiter Star Power!"
						***
	"All I know is that I was floating around in oblivion, when this midget 
dressed in orange and wearing a derby offered me a chance to be with my 
beloved Naru. I had never met him before, and I had no idea how he new so 
much about me. He floated there and told me my entire life story. So of 
course I took the chance, and if worse came to worse I could always turn on 
him. I tried doing that, draining him of his energy, but it was to no avail. 
I paid dearly for that. I still don't know why he wants me to destroy the 
Senshi. As for you, boy, you were just a pawn in the game, I needed more 
energy for my plan, but Mr. Mxyzpltk's wasn't compatible. He said he knew of 
a way to get me more energy than I ever dreamt of, that's where you come in. 
He set up the peril in Manchuria, knowing that you would rush over to help. 
He also knew that your favorite oriental dish was served best in Tokyo, where 
the Sailor Senshi are. He set up the encounter, manipulating the mind of the 
weakest member of the team, Sailor Moon. He made her attack whenever she saw 
that big "S" on your chest. She still has no idea why she attacked you. Then 
he met with you in that restaurant, where he turned you into a child, 
effectively relieving you of your stored energy, leaving you as weak as you 
were when you were eighteen."
	"So you mean that I'm really grown up and fly around in blue tights? My God, what have I done to myself?" 
	"Here I will do my best to restore your memory and some of your energy, but having this energy makes me feel powerful again, like I'm free to do whatever I wish, so if you don't mind I'll keep some. Unfortunately I won't
 be able to enjoy that freedom until I get rid of the runt. So will you help me?"
	"Well, if you give me my memory back, I'll see what I can do."
	Nephrite cupped his hands around Clark's temples and sent a shock of energy into Clark's cerebral cortex, unlocking the memories that Mxypltk had hidden deep within his subconscious. He then let some of his energy flow b
ack into Clarks body. Off in the distance there is a rumble, and then the 
Superman Theme Song begins playing. 
	"Mxyzpltk! You're mine!" Clark yelled as he ripped his shirt to shreds 
trying to reveal his costume, but realized that Mxyzplkt had left him without 
it. 
	"Uh, he-he, could we perhaps stop by a clothes store?
	"No time, we must destroy the dwarf!"
	"Alright, let me give you a little hint, we cannot destroy him, we can 
only banish him to the fifth dimension."
	"Fifth dimension? I thought that was only a horror story made up by 
Queen Beryl!"
	"I wish. That would have saved me a lot of trouble in the past. The only 
way we can get rid of him is to beat him at his own game, or trick him into 
saying his name backwards."
	"How are we supposed to do that? I can barely say his name forwards."
	"I don't know, I've exhausted all of my tricks, he's never fallen for 
the same one twice."
	"Perhaps we should try to seek more help."
						***
	"Well where are they Mercury?" asked Artemis.
	"My computer says they were here, then just vanished. I can try locating 
them on different levels. They may still be here geographically, just not 
dimensionally," Mercury replied.
	As she punched a few buttons two figures showed up on the screen. 
	"They're here, but they're in the Nega Verse!" 
	"Well? What do we do now?" asked Moon.
	"I'm trying to open up an inter-dimensional portal, if I can just center 
in on the exact point at which the two entered the Nega Verse then we can use 
our powers to create a rift in the space-time continuum... there! Okay, on 
the count of three we aim our powers at that swing set right there. 
1...2...3..!"
Mercury ice bubbles blast!
Venus love chain surround!
Mars celestial fire ignite!
Jupiter thunder clash strike!
Moon scepter elimination!
	The combined force of the blasts tore open a seem in space, through 
which the senshi dashed as the rip closed in behind them.
						***
	"Well speak of the devil!" Clark said enthusiastically.
	"We weren't speaking of the devil, we were speaking of the Sailor 
Senshi," Nephrite corrected him.
	"Yeah and there they are."
	"Oh, I see."
	"Isn't that..?" Moon asked.
	"Nephrite!" the group chimed in, all except Venus, who stood with a 
confused look on her face.
	"Yes, I'm alive, and I need your help," Nephrite pleaded. He continued 
to tell them of his plight.
	"This sounds serious!" said Mercury.
	"Well you're the smart one, you should be able to figure something out," 
said Jupiter.
	"I've never met him before, I wouldn't know how to trick him into saying 
anything," complained Mercury.
	"Who else could we turn to?" asked Mars.
	"I know of someone who could help us," said Venus.
	"Who?" Nephrite pleaded.
	"Umino Gurio," she told him.
	"Um, no I don't think that's a good idea," Moon said.
	"Why not?" Venus asked.
	Moon whispered in her ear, "because, he is going out with Naru! Nephrite 
and Naru had a thing going before he died."
	"Whoa, this sounds way complicated, I think I'll ask later," Venus said.
	"Good idea," Moon said.
	"What? Why is it not a good idea? If it concerns Naru, I must know!" 
Nephrite said.
	"Well actually I don't see anyway around getting help from Gurio. I mean 
if we're all stumped..." Ami said.
	"Yes, I suppose you're right," said Moon.
	The started laying out their plans, and when they were satisfied with a 
plan they put it into action. It was a good thing too, the sun was rising, 
and the Senshi had to get this finished soon, they all had school in the 
morning.
						***
	"Hey Naru, would you like some of my fried shrimp?" Gurio asked.
	"Not right now," Naru replied, "I'm not very hungry."
	"Okay Naru, whatever makes you happy."
	Naru had not been able to eat much of anything lately, her mind kept 
wandering to her lost love, Nephrite. She thought that Gurio could keep her 
mind off him, but lately she hadn't been able to stop thinking about him.
	"Whatcha thinkin' about Naru?"
	"Oh nothing, I'm just a little worried, I haven't seen Usagi all day." 
	"Well she is always late, but you're right, she is never this late, 
Haruna will have an aneurysm. I haven't seen any of the others either."
	"Maybe they were working on something together last night."
	"Who knows, oh well, as long as you're still here I'm pleased."
	"Oh Gurio, stop it," Naru blushed.
	" Look! Here they come now! Who is that total babe with them, must be 
Mako's new boyfriend."
	"Naaaruuuu! Guuuuriooo! We would like you to meet someone," yelled 
Usagi.
	"Uuuusaaaaagiiiiii! Get in here now!" Screamed Haruna.
	"Uh oh. I knew you were going to attract too much attention, Usagi! You 
and Minako talk to Haruna, Ami, Mako, and I are going to talk to Gurio," said 
Rei.
	"Coming Haruna!" said Usagi.
	"Naru, Gurio meet Clark; Clark, Naru and Gurio," said Mako 
diplomatically.
	The group exchanged greetings, then Clark did his best to explain the 
situation without mentioning Nephrite in the presence of Naru. Gurio 
understood and had a great idea.
						***
	"So that's the plan," Clark reported to Nephrite," do you think you 
could lure Mxyzpltk to the Juuban Junior High?"
	"I will do what I can, anything to be rid of that pest. You know he made 
a tack appear on a seat as I was about to sit on it. That dwarf is beginning 
to irritate me," Nephrite responded.
						***
	Mr. Mxyzpltk was easily lured to the Junior high computer lab, Nephrite 
just explained that their was mischief he could exercise on the Net. Gurio 
was waiting for him with a look of distress. He had set up a virus on the 
machine that he named the KTLPZYXM virus. Gurio saw Mxyzpltk and asked for 
his help.
	"Why should I help a little worm like you?" asked Mxyzpltk.
	"Well you are very powerful, I figured that you were the only one who 
could help me."
	"Very nice, but see, this is where the real fun begins. I followed your 
friends around after turning invisible, I know all about your little plot. It 
was a valiant effort, and for that I want to help you. You see, Nephrite is 
back and he is still in love with Naru, your girlfriend. He wants her back, 
but I can help you keep Naru all for yourself."
	Knowing this was probably a trick, Gurio decided to take the bait, "You 
would do that for me?"
	"Why certainly."
	"What do you get out of it?"
	"I'm only in it for the laughs, my immortal existence can become 
wearisome at times."
	"Well, okay, deal!"
	"Oooh boy, let the games begin!" Mxyzpltk pointed at Gurio and zapped 
him with a bolt of magic. Gurio started growing at an accelerated pace. He 
soon out-grew the room and then his head went through the roof of the 
building. The air around him started to crackle with energy.
						*** 
	Everyone had vacated the building, so the group of girls transformed 
into the Sailor Senshi, while Clark and Nephrite appeared from the Nega-Verse 
to see how things had gone.
	"Not good," said Venus.
	The giant Gurio came near and took a swipe at Nephrite, "You can't have 
Naru, she's my girlfriend."
	"We'll see about that, whelp!"
	"Let us help!" Exclaimed the senshi.
	"No! This is my fight! Stay out of it!" Barked Nephrite. 
	The two engaged in battle, Nephrite shot energy blasts at Gurio but the 
overgrown Gurio proved to be too much even for Nephrite with his powers 
boosted. Clark decided to take action.
	"Gurio!" Clark exclaimed as he rammed into the hulk. Gurio just swatted 
him away like a fly.
	"You are no match for Gurio! Ha Ha Ha!"
	A guitar riff sounds as a rose splits the air.
	"Tuxedo Kamen, my hero!" shouted Gurio.
	"Gurio! This is not right, if you loved Naru, then you would do what 
would make her happy, do you think she'll be happy if she finds out that you 
killed Nephrite before she even got a chance to see him again?"
	"But he's trying to take her away from me!"
	"Look! Over there, Naru is helping Nephrite. If you kill him she will 
never forgive you. Come on Gurio you know I'm right. If you give up now, you 
probably won't be in too much trouble."
	"I know, and I do want what's best for Naru. But I don't want to lose 
her, she's the best thing that ever happened to me."
	"The choice is yours, so long!" Tuxedo Kamen said as he pulled up his 
cape and vanished.
	Gurio said, "I don't want to hurt anyone, Mxyzpltk, the games over!"
	Just then Mxyzpltk appeared and said, "you humans are no fun I'm outta 
here, this expedition has been a complete waste of time!"
	As soon as he left the scene returned to normal, Nephrite was leaning on 
Naru, Gurio shrunk to normal, Clark returned to his normal age and clothing, 
and the Senshi transformed back to their civilian attire. And the hole in the 
roof was repaired.
						***
	Oh Nephrite, I never thought I was going to see you again. You're 
supposed to be dead," Naru said.
	"I love you Naru, nothing can keep me away from you forever."
						***	
	"Well I can't say this hasn't been interesting ladies, but I really need 
to get back to Metropolis," Clark said.
	"Here, take some of this food I cooked for you! Never forget me will 
you?" asked Mako.
	"Well, I can't promise anything..." said Clark, "I'll stop by next time 
I fly over Tokyo, okay?"
	"Sounds like a plan."
	"So long," the girls shouted out as Clark flew off towards the east like 
a flash.
						***
	"So Gurio, what are you going to do now that Naru went back to 
Nephrite?" asked Usagi concerned.
	"The way I figure it, they were meant to be, no use arguing with fate. 
I'll just wait until the right girl comes along... Hey Usagi, would you like 
to go to the bug show with me? That is if you and Mamuro haven't patched 
things up yet."
	"No."
	"Well okay, I'll just find someone else to go."
	"No I meant, no, I haven't patched things up with Mamuro, not ,no I 
won't go to the bug show. I'll go with you..."
	"You will?!"
	"But just as friends, nothing more."
	"Okay Usagi."
