Scene: The next day in Amanda's Room

Amanda is sitting on her bed thinking.

Amanda: (thinking) I wonder if Rini's ok. I should have tried to stop that monster but I was just frozen. I couldn't move. Then Rini jumped in front of me and the monster took her. If I'd just done something she'd be right her now. Some Sailor Scout I am.

There's a knock on the door and then Amy comes in.

Amy: Hi Amanda. How you been?

Amanda: Fine I guess.

Amy: Come on there's something wrong. Now tell me what it is.

Amanda: It's just that I miss Rini so much.

Amy: You know when you where captured Rini reacted the same way and she had only know you for a couple weeks. That shows that you guys are true friends.

Amanda: I guess we are. Thanks Amy.

Amy: Hey, what are sisters for?

Scene: Mina's House

Mina: Artemis is that the phone or the TV?

Artemis: It's the phone.

Mina answers the phone.

Mina: Hello. Oh hi Amy.

Amy: Hi. I just called to tell you that it's your turn to stay with Serena tonight.

Mina: Thanks for calling and reminding me.

Amy: I also wanted to warn you that Serena's really upset about Rini being gone and with Darien away that makes it ten times worse. So try not to mention Rini, Darien, or the baby because that reminds her of Rini.

Mina: That's a lot to remember. Thanks for calling and I'll see you later.

Amy: Bye Mina.

Mina: Bye Amy.

Artemis: So what's up?

Mina: It's my turn to stay with Serena tonight. So, you get to spend some time with Luna tonight. (thinking) I wonder how I can get Serena to cheer up.

Scene: Serena and Darien's Apartment

The doorbell rings.

Serena: Coming.

Luna: (thinking) I wonder who that is.

Serena: Oh hi Amy. Hello Amanda. I haven't seen you in a while. How are you?

Amanda: I'm fine. I just miss Rini.

Serena: What are you guys doing here? I thought that you'd had enough of me for one night, Amy.

Amy: I told Amanda how down you were and she wanted to come and cheer you up.

Serena: How sweet!

Luna: Where's Jay?

Amanda: Oops! I forgot to take him out of my bookbag.

Amanda unzips her bookbag.

Jay: Ahh, fresh air.

Amanda: I'm sorry Jay.

Jay: That's ok. I'm just glad to be out of there.

Luna: How have you been?

Jay: Other than being in there I'm fine.

The doorbell rings again.

Serena: Coming. Oh hi Mina. Amy told me last night tonight would be your night to stay with me.

Mina: Yep, and were're going to have some fun.

Serena: I keep telling you guys that I don't need you to stay here, but you do any way and I appreciate it. Thanks guys!

Both: You're welcome!

Amy: Well Amanda and I have to go. Come on Amanda.

Amanda: Come on Jay we have to go.

Jay: Bye everyone.

All: Bye!

Amy, Amanda, and Jay leave.

Artemis: So Luna what do you want to do tonight.

Luna: Well I wouldn't want say in front of this crowd.

Serena and Mina both stare at Luna with big eyes.

Both: Oooooooohhhhhhhhh!

Luna: What?

Both: Luna and Artemis sitting in a tree……

Luna: Will you stop that!

Artemis: Come on Luna.

They both go into Rini's room and they shut the door behind them.

Serena: Like it's hard to tell what there're going to do in there. (sarcastically)

Mina: They act like were're little kids or something.

Serena: Luna treats me like that and I'm going to have a baby.

Mina: I think she's just now realizing that she isn't needed as much and she might be forgotten and it worries her.

Serena: I'm going to have to talk to her tomorrow.

Mina: I know what we can do!

Serena: What?

Mina: Can I do your hair?

Serena: Sure.

Mina starts to brush Serena's hair and then she puts it up in a big braid behind her head. Serena looks in the mirror.

Serena: It's lovely. Thank you Mina. I needed a change.

Mina: Your welcome. I wonder if Darien will like it.

Serena: I hope so. He should be calling me soon.

The phone rings.

Mina: That must be him.

Serena answers the phone.

Serena: Hello. Darien! I'm so glad you called.

Darien: How are you Serena and how's the baby?

Serena: I miss you, but I'm fine and the baby is very active.

Darien: That's good. I miss you too. I love you my meatball head.

Serena: I love it when you call me that.

She realizes that Mina is in the room and blushes.

Serena: I love you too. I'm embarrassed. Mina was in the room.

Darien: Oh Mina's there can I talk to her.

Serena: Sure. Mina, Darien wants to talk to you.

Mina: That's weird. I was sure you' d talk to him for at least an hour. Hi Darien.

Darien: Hey Mina. I wanted to tell you that I'm coming home early to surprise Serena and I'd like for you to tell the other girls and try to keep her out of the house tomorrow so I can set up the surprise.

Mina: Oh sure no problem.

Darien: Thanks Mina. Don't tell Serena.

Mina: I won't. There's something that Serena might want to tell you so I'll give her the phone back and go do what you asked. Bye.

Serena: Darien, there's something I forgot to tell you that is very important.

Darien: Like what?

Serena: You know those monsters that were after Amanda.

Darien: Yeah.

Serena: Well they went after her again and…

Darien: They didn't get her did they?

Serena: No, they got Rini instead and I'm so worried about Rini. What am I going to do Darien?

Serena starts to cry.

Darien: It's all right. You girls start to look for her and when I get back I'll help. Ok?

Serena: Ok.

Darien: They need me on the set. So I've got to go. I'll see you soon. Bye.

Serena: Bye.

They both hang up.

Mina: I`ll be back in a little bit, Serena. I've got to go do an errand.

Serena: All right I'll see you later.

Both: Bye.

Scene: Lita's Apartment

The gang is at Lita's Apartment studying and the doorbell rings.

Lita: Coming. Oh hi Mina. I thought that it was your night to be with Serena.

Mina: It is, but when Darien called he told me that I had to come tell you guys something.

Lita: Ok, come on in.

Mina: Hey guys!

All: Hey Mina.

Amy: Why aren't you at Serena's?

Mina: Darien called her tonight and he told me that he's coming home early and he wants us to get Serena out of the house so he can surprise her.

Raye: That sounds so romantic.

Mina: None of us can say a word about this to her at all. You guys promise?

All: We promise!

Scene: Serena and Darien's Apartment

Luna: Where did Mina go?

Serena: She went to go do an errand.

Artemis: I wonder what errand that could be.

Luna: (thinking) Could it have something to do with Darien calling? I'm going to find out.

Artemis: What are you thinking Luna?

Luna: Nothing, I'm just going out for a walk.

Artemis: Don't be gone long. I'll miss you.

Luna: Oh Artemis. (blushes) (thinking) Now I can find Mina.

Scene: The streets

Mina: (thinking) Darien coming home is going to make Serena so happy. She needs to be cheered up so that she won't think of Rini.

Luna: Mina, why are you out here?

Mina: Luna, what are you doing here? I thought you were with Serena.

Luna: I was, but I went to look for you. Why did you leave and does it have anything to do with Darien's call?

Mina: One question at a time. First, yes it does have something to do with Darien's call and second, I went to go tell the girls that we have to keep Serena out of the house tomorrow so Darien can come home and surprise her when we bring her back home.

Luna: That's a lot to remember. Now I understand. I'll help you to keep her out of the house tomorrow. I'll also tell Artemis.

Mina: You look tired. I'll carry you back if you want.

Luna: Thanks. I don't know why I'm so tired.

Mina: You've probably just been worrying about Serena, her baby, and Rini too much lately.

Luna: I guess so. Yawn!

Mina: Let's get you home.

Scene: Serena and Darien's Apartment

Mina: Artemis, where's Serena?

Artemis: She went to bed. She was exhausted.

Mina: Well Luna fell asleep on the way home so I'm going to just put her on Serena's bed with Serena.

They walk into Serena's room and hear Serena talk in her sleep.

Serena: Darien come home! Rini where are you? Don't leave! Come back!

Mina: This is really upsetting her. It's a good thing Darien is coming home early tomorrow.

Artemis: Huh!

Mina: Oh! I forgot to tell you. We have to keep Serena out of the house tomorrow so Darien can come home, unpack, and surprise her when she gets home.

Artemis: (under his breath) I wish I could do something like that for Luna.

Mina: What did you say?

Artemis: Nothing!

Mina: You're lying.

Artemis: Ok, I said I wish I could do something like that for Luna. You happy now.

Mina: Yeah that's so romantic.

Mina gets that far off dazed look and gets hearts in her eyes and starts to daydream. Artemis whacks her in the head and Mina wakes up from her daydream.

Mina: Why did you do that?

Artemis: You were starting to drool.

Mina: Oh.

Mina gets a big sweatdrop and they walk into the livingroom.

Artemis: Anyway, I've been worried a lot about Luna lately.

Mina: Why?

Artemis: She's been exhausted lately and has been going to bed early instead of …well you know and she's been so moody.

Mina: (thinking) I wonder.

Artemis: I hope she's not sick or anything like that. She's always been so spry and active before bed. (blushes)

Little do they know Luna has been listening for the last couple minutes.

Mina: You really love her a lot don't you.

Artemis: More than anything in the world.

Luna: (thinking) I'm so lucky to have Artemis, but I can't tell him just yet about my news just yet.

Artemis: I hope she's ok.

Mina: She'll be just fine.

Luna: Hello everyone.

Both: Hi Luna.

Artemis: (whispers in her ear) I love you Luna.

Luna blushes and whispers in his ear.

Luna: (whispers in his ear) I love you Artemis.

They rub their heads together in contentment and then they realize Mina is in the room and they get sweatdrops on their heads. The sweatdrops get even bigger when they see her with hearts in her eyes and she's staring at them.

Artemis: Do you mind!

Mina: No not at all.

Artemis: Well we do so…

Both: GO!

Mina: Fine I'll go to bed. Bye you love birds.

They both get more sweatdrops. Mina pulls out a sleeping bag, unrolls it and puts in on the floor by Serena's bed. Then she goes to sleep. Luna and Artemis cuddle on the sofa and well I don't need to tell you what happened next do I?!

Scene: The next morning at Serena and Darien's Apartment

Mina: Are you ready to go on a shopping spree with the girls yet?

Serena: Almost ready I just have to slip into one of my maternity outfits.

Serena comes out in a gorgeous pair of overalls.

Mina: You look great.

Serena: Really!

Mina: Yes really!

Serena: Where's Luna and Artemis?

Mina: (giggle) Look on the couch.

Serena looks over the back of the couch to see Luna and Artemis asleep with Artemis's arm over Luna.

Serena: Oh! They really do love each other don't they?

Mina: Yep. I asked Artemis if he loved her last night and he said yes more than anything in the world. Isn't that so romantic.

Serena: Yep. We'd better leave them and get going or we'll be late.

Scene: The Mall

Lita: Did you know this is the first shopping spree that we've had in months?

Amy: It could have something to do with the fact that Serena's pregnant. (sarcastically)

Raye: Here they come remember we have to keep Serena busy all day.

All: Right!

Amy: Hi Serena. Did you sleep well?

Serena: Actually yes I did.

Raye: That's good because you need all the sleep you can get.

Lita: Especially at this time during your pregnancy.

Serena: Have you guys been to the library?

All: Yep! (with sweatdrops)

They all laugh together.

Serena: Thanks guys I needed a laugh.

All: You're welcome!

Mina: Now that we've all had our laughs LET'S GET SHOPPING!

All: YEAH!

Scene: Serena and Darien's Apartment

Darien: Anyone home? Noone's home good. I can set up my surprise.

Darien goes into the empty room in the Apartment and brings in boxes.

The scene cuts back to the mall before we can see what Darien is unpacking.

Scene: The Mall

Serena: This is a blast!

Mina: I told you it would be fun.

Lita: It's just like old times.

Raye: We need to do this more often.

Amy: Don't most of you have to study for college entrance exams?

They all get huge sweatdrops and then they stare at Amy and she gets an embarrassed look on her face with a few sweatdrops on her forehead.

Amy: Sorry.

All: We forgive you!

They all start to laugh and then Mina's pager goes off.

Mina: I'm going to go call this person and be right back.

Serena: Hurry we're having fun today.

Mina goes to a phone and dials the number on her pager.

Mina: Hey Darien. Are you ready?

Darien: Yeah bring her on home. I'm ready. She's going to love this.

Mina goes back to the group.

Mina: Guys we have to go.

Mina whispers into Lita's ear.

Lita: Oh yeah we do have to go.

Raye: Yeah we want to show you something, Serena.

Serena: Like what?

All: You'll see!

Scene: Serena and Darien's Apartment

Darien: They're here! I'd better hide in our bedroom.

Mina: Come on Serena.

Lita: Now go into the room you're going to use for the nursery.

They all walk in and Serena gasps.

Serena: Did you guys do this?

All: Nope!

Darien: I did.

Serena: DARIEN! YOU'RE HOME!

Serena nearly bowls him over.

Darien: Could you guys leave the room for a minute?

All: Sure.

Darien: Did you miss me my meatball head?

Serena: You bet I did stud muffin!

They kiss for a long time and then the girls walk in.

Darien: So how do you like your surprise?

Serena: I love it! You guys were in on this weren't you?

All: Yep!

Lita: What do you think we took you away from the house so long for?

Amy: That's why Mina's pager went off and then we had to go.

Serena: You guys are the best, but you know what part of the surprise I liked the best.

All: What?

Serena: Darien coming home!

All: Ahh!

Darien: When you leave be careful of Luna and Artemis on the couch. They must have worn themselves out last night.

Mina and Serena giggle.

Raye: Now all we have to do is find Rini.

Serena: And we will very soon.

All: WE'RE COMING RINI!
