Two weeks after the Sailor Senshi had defeated Letine and Alexis, the Senshi had been able to rest. No youmas or dark warriors had attacked Juuban in the last two weeks, and Serena, Rei, Lita, Mina, and Ami were now discussing the events in Rei's temple.

"It's been two weeks," Rei said. "I haven't been able to sense anything."

"Do you think that Letine and Alexis were working alone?" Mina asked.

"I'm not sure, but we still need to be careful," Rei said.

"So, Ami, I heard Greg was supposed to be coming back today!" Serena said.

"It's been a long time since I've seen him! It'll be really nice to get to see him again," Ami said.

"I wonder how Sammy will feel?" Serena asked.

"Sammy and I are friends," Ami said. "Greg and I… we're more than friends. You know that, Serena."

"You haven't asked him to be your boyfriend, Ami," Serena said. "You're 16, about to be 17. You really need to ask Greg out!"

"Yeah!" Mina said. "You guys are so cute together!"

Ami blushed.

"Oh, I couldn't do that…" Ami said. "I'd be way too embarrassed! I do like him, though… a lot…"

"Greg likes you two, Ami!" Lita said. "Just ask him to go on a date! Dinner and a movie! Or just dinner!"

"Well, I could ask him when I see him again," Ami said.

"By the way, Ami, you told us a little while ago that Sammy knows that you're Sailor Mercury," Serena said. "Does he… does he know I'm Sailor Moon?"

"Of course not, Serena!" Ami said. "He thinks Sailor Moon is really cool, and he thinks you're… you. Don't worry, he doesn't know who any of you guys are, and I won't tell him. Okay?"

"You know, Ami, all of your boyfriends know that you're Sailor Mercury. First it was Greg, and now Sammy. What's up with that?" Serena asked.

"Oh, you guys, stop!" Ami said, giggling. "I told you, Sammy's not my boyfriend, just my friend! Greg's my boyfriend! Oops!"

Ami blushed again.

"Can we talk about something besides Greg and Sammy?" Ami asked. "Like chess?"

Meanwhile, in Sammy's room, Sammy and his friend Rick were playing Spoils of War IV on Sammy's computer.

"Move your tank there!" Sammy said, pointing to a spot on the field.

"I know what I'm doing," Rick said, moving his tank to the spot and commanding it to attack. "So, Sammy, you know that Ami's boyfriend is coming back today, right?"

"How'd you know that?" Sammy asked.

"Ami told me a few days ago," Rick said. "She seemed pretty excited."

An angry look began to appear on Sammy's face.

"You jealous, Sammy?" Rick asked. "I mean, seeing how Ami's your girlfriend and all…"

"She's not my girlfriend," Sammy said. "She's Greg's girlfriend, I think."

"Wanna go down to the airport and meet Greg?" Rick asked. "Just to see what he's like?"

"I dunno…" Sammy said.

"You could put on a ski mask, run up, and kick him in the nuts!" Rick said excitedly. Sammy began to laugh.

"That might make Ami mad," Sammy said.

"That's what the ski mask is for," Rick said. "Anyway, I was just joking."

"Still, I would like to see what Greg is like," Sammy said. "Maybe he can give me some pointers on how to get the ladies!"

"So you're going, then?" Rick asked.

"I guess," Sammy said. "You wanna go too?"

"Why not?" Rick said. "Got nothing better to do anyway than play this game…"

Rick turned to the screen.

"Oh crap!" Rick yelled. "I lost!"

Meanwhile, in the dark castle that served as the headquarters of Scion and his minions, Scion was having a discussion in his private chambers with the unknown dark entity. The room pulsated with evil energy.

"You were right," Scion said. "The Senshi are very powerful. They managed to beat Letine and Alexis with only the help of a teenaged boy."

"I told you so," boomed a loud, evil-sounding voice that resounded throughout the room. "Where are your two soldiers now?"

"Alexis is currently lying in his chambers in a coma," Scion said. "Letine's recovered, but she won't leave his side. She's sworn revenge on the Senshi."

"Perhaps you need another warrior to deal with the Senshi," the voice boomed. "The mighty Ninjetti."

"The powerful ninja master of darkness?" Scion asked. "I thought you said sending more forces to counter the Senshi was wasteful."

"Ninjetti's not a waste," the voice boomed. "He will hunt down and destroy every one of the Senshi easily. They don't stand a chance against him."

"When will he be here?" Scion asked.

"Very shortly," the voice boomed. "Right now, attempt to find out the identities of the Sailor Senshi. Use that against them."

The evil energy in the room subsided just as Letine ran in.

"Letine, what do you want?" Scion asked. "This is the first time you've left Alexis' side since his injury."

"I have been thinking of the perfect way to defeat the Senshi," Letine said, "and I think I've got it!"

"You're not going to fight them again, Letine," Scion said. "You've already shown you're not strong enough to defeat them."

"I'm not going to fight them," Letine said. "My ultimate creation is!"

"Ultimate creation?" Scion said in a skeptical tone. "No monster or youma has ever been able to defeat the Senshi, and it would be a waste of power to try and make one to defeat them."

"Master, I know that my creation will destroy them! It has all of my hatred and anger combined with my magical energy! It will kill them all!" Letine protested. "And I know just where to place it to maximize its destructive power."

"And just where might that be?" Scion asked.

"The Juuban airport! Tons of people go there, and it's close to where the Senshi always show up! They'll surely come, and then they'll all be destroyed!" Letine shouted.

"If you want to waste time and energy to make a pathetic youma, that's fine with me," Scion said. "Ninjetti will be here in a few days."

Letine gasped.

"The… the ninja master of darkness, Ninjetti?" Letine asked. "You won't need to send him to face the Senshi!"

"You're not… scared of Ninjetti, are you?" Scion asked. "Don't worry. The Senshi are the only ones that will feel his wrath. Of course, he really doesn't like being surrounded by weaklings…"

"Are you calling me weak, master?" Letine shrieked. "I didn't mean to lose to the Senshi! They cheated!"

Letine began glowing with flames.

"Master, my monster will destroy all the Senshi! They'll pay for what they did to Alexis and I! They'll all pay!"

Letine stomped off angrily. Scion smiled.

"She's clearly very determined," Scion said. "Perhaps this monster of hers really will defeat the Senshi."

Scion frowned.

"I'd better start preparing for Ninjetti's arrival," Scion sighed.

Meanwhile, Serena, Ami, Rei, Lita, and Mina were standing in the lobby of the Juuban Airport.

"I can't wait for Greg to come!" Ami said happily. She was carrying a small wrapped present and a balloon that said 'Welcome Back' on it. The other girls were also carrying balloons.

"He'll be so happy to see you, Ami!" Serena said.

"Especially when you ask him out," Mina said slyly. Ami blushed again.

"I'll give him my present first," Ami said. "And then I might ask him out…"

"Ami!" Mina said. "You said you'd ask him out!"

"Don't push her," Rei said. "If she wants to be a dateless wonder, let her."

"Rei, I do not want to be a dateless wonder!" Ami said angrily. "I like Greg…"

Suddenly, Ami pointed toward the entrance of the lobby. She had a huge smile on her face.

"Here he comes!" Ami said. The other girls turned toward the entrance to see Greg walking toward Ami.

"Ami!" Greg said. "Hello!"

Greg ran toward Ami and gave her a hug. She handed Greg the present.

"It's nice to see you again, Greg," Ami said. "I hope you like it!"

Greg opened the present and got a big smile on his face.

"Wow, the new graphing calculator!" Greg said excitedly.

"Calculator?" Serena said, puzzled.

"Why didn't you get him something romantic, like candy or flowers or a sexy pair of swim trunks?" Mina asked. Ami blushed again.

"You guys, those kinds of gifts are nice, but a graphing calculator is a very useful gift!" Ami said. "Besides, it's the thought that counts!"

"I like it," Greg said. "Thank you so much! But you really didn't have to get me anything… just you being here to greet me is enough of a present for me!"

Ami smiled and hugged Greg again.

"Well, I'm glad you'll be staying here for a while!" Ami said.

"Ask him!" Mina whispered. "Ask him!"

"Ask me what?" Greg said. "Were you going to ask me something, Ami?"

"Well, you see…" Ami stammered. "I, um-"

"Ami!" yelled a voice from the door of the lobby. Ami, the other girls, and Greg turned to see Sammy and Rick running towards them.

"Sammy, what are you doing here?" Ami asked. Ami turned to Greg. "Greg, meet my friend Sammy, and his friend, Rick!"

Greg smiled.

"Hello there," Greg said. "Nice to meet both of you!"

"Sammy!" Serena yelled, grabbing the boy by the ear. "This is Ami's romantic reunion! Did you come here to ruin it?"

"Serena, I just wanted to meet Greg!" Sammy said, pulling away from his big sister. "So, you're Ami's boyfriend?"

Greg smiled and blushed.

"Um, well… I guess so," Greg said. He turned to Ami. "Am I your boyfriend?"

Ami blushed.

"Er… that reminds me… Greg, would you like to go out for dinner and a movie this Friday?" Ami asked.

"I'd love to!" Greg said. "That would be great!"

"That's gotta suck, huh Sammy?" Rick whispered to his friend. "Your girlfriend planning a date right in front of you?"

"She's not my girlfriend!" Sammy yelled, loud enough for everyone in the lobby to hear.

"Uh, Sammy?" Greg asked. "You okay, little guy?"

"Oh, that hurt…" Sammy thought. "He called me 'little guy'. I'm only three freaking years younger than him, and he called me 'little guy'…who does that guy think he is, anyway?"

"I'm fine," Sammy said.

"You sure?" Greg asked. "You look kinda mad…"

"Sammy's been hanging around with Ami while you were gone," Serena asked. "I bet he came here to break you guys up!"

"No, no, that's not it!" Sammy said, shaking his head furiously. "I just wanted to meet Greg, because any friend of Ami's is a friend of mine! Yep!"

Suddenly, a scream could be heard across the room. The Sammy, Rick, Greg, and the five girls all turned around to see what had caused it.

"Oh no!" Serena shrieked. "What's THAT?"

Standing on the other side of the room was a gigantic red blob surrounded by flames. It had huge black eyes and large red tentacles for arms. Its gigantic mouth was filled with long, sharp teeth.

"No way…" Rei said, stunned. "Such a huge amount of evil!"

"What are we going to do?" Mina said.

"Greg, take the boys out of here!" Ami shouted. "We'll follow!"

Greg and Sammy both knew what Ami and the others were going to do. Greg nodded and grabbed Sammy and Rick by the arm.

"Let's go," Greg said. "Come on!"

"But… but Ami!" Sammy shouted as he was dragged out with his friend. The five girls faced the huge blob monster.

"Everyone else has left," Serena said. "Time to transform!"

A brilliant flash of light, and the five girls transformed into the Sailor Senshi.

"Hello, girls!" yelled a voice from above the giant blob monster. The Senshi looked up to see the dark witch Letine staring at them.

"You!" Sailor Moon yelled. "We destroyed you!"

"No, you destroyed Alexis!" Letine shouted. "Now Anger Blob will make you all pay!"

"Anger Blob?" Mars said, stifling a giggle. "Is that the best you could come up with?"

"In the name of the Moon, we'll punish both of you!" Sailor Moon declared.

"Oh yeah? I'm not staying to fight! Anger Blob will crush you all by itself!" Letine shouted. Then, she teleported away, leaving the five Senshi to face the evil red blob.

"Let's destroy that beast!" Sailor Mercury shouted.

"And then we'll find Letine and defeat her again as well!" Sailor Moon said.

"Alright!" the Senshi yelled.
