Author's Notes: Found this on my hard drive recently. This is my first version of the 'Tuxedo Mask possesses someone to save Sailor Moon' story, from when I was a big fan of the English dub. My first impulse was just to erase it, but instead I'm putting this up for the amusement value, as well as an example on how a fairly lame story can still have a few good ideas in it. I hope you find some enjoyment in it. It's set at the end of the Doom Tree storyline... Sailor Moon: Altered Destinies Version 0.1 "I am dying, Sailor Moon" the Moonlight Knight gasped, his body begining to dissolve into white light, "and Darien is too far away to join us together. I must find another..." In a moment, he had dissolved into sparkling light and was gone. In the hallway, Molly ran towards the disturbance, having seen her friend Serena go into the building. As she neared the door she was engulfed in the shining light." You," she heard in her mind, a warm, kind voice "you too care for her. Take my power and protect her ,for all our tomorrows..." and then she fell to the ground unconscious. Breaking up with Melvin had been hard, but with everything that had been going on lately, she didn't see much choice. The blackouts had been bad enough, but the dreams she was having had really took the cake. In her dreams she was male! And romancing Serena! Not too mention the dreams of a vaguely European world where she danced with Serena's look alike. In comparison, it was as if all she had felt for Melvin had been a pale shadow. As Molly walked by the video store, she saw the TV report on Sailor Moon's new ally, the tuxedo dressed heroine, and felt a strange recognition... Suddenly, Molly felt like she was going to have a blackout again, but this time she fought the sensation! She struggled on until the feelings changed, and a crystalline clarity washed over her. She knew, now, what had happened: she was now Sailor Moon's protector as Tuxedo Mask, the reborn prince, and had also inherited the feelings and affections of her past self. Molly ducked into a deserted alley and willed the change, feeling her clothes shift and flow into a form fitting tuxedo, cape and mask, then she leapt across the rooftops. From then, it was like she was in a dream, casting the roses at her foes, using her speed and strength to buy Sailor Moon time to strike their enemy down. "Who are you?" Sailor Moon asked, grabbing Tuxedo Mask by the arm. Molly was surprised Sailor Moon didn't recognize her, and even more surprised to realize she knew who Sailor Moon and friends were. "This isn't the best place to discuss it, Sailor Moon." Tuxedo Mask answered her calmly. "Follow me, and I'll tell you." Pulling free, she led them a merry chase across the city rooftops, finally stopping in the small forest behind Raye's temple. "Why did you pick here to talk?" Sailor Moon asked, looking very nervous. Molly smiled mysteriously as her cape flowing around her in the breeze, letting them sweat for a moment, then relented. Closing her eyes, she allowed the transformation to was over her again. "Molly?!" Sailor Moon cried out, shocked. Molly laughed softly, answering "It's good to see you too, Serena. Hi Lita, Mina, Amy and Raye. Before you all panic, there's a good reason that I know who you all are." Then, Molly quietly explained what had happened to her. After mulling it over, the Scouts returned to normal and headed into the temple to talk. Mina looked speculatively at Molly and asked, "You have Tuxedo Masks powers and memories right?" Molly nodded in answer, and Mina continued, "Did you get anything else from him?" with a slightly evil smile. Molly blushed brightly and Mina realized she had hit pay dirt. The other scouts noticed as well and were all paying very close attention, except for Amy, who looked slightly embarrassed. Molly looked at the eager girls and sighed, resigned. "Yes," Molly admitted, "I also seem to have his feelings, but I have absolutely no plans to act on 'em." Raye looked almost sympathetic, and the others provided their consolations, all except Serena, who was giving Molly the oddest look. A short time later, after Serena had gone out for some air, Molly followed her outside. "Serena, it's all right," Molly said, "things don't have to be different between us." Serena looked at her with a very anguished expression, and Molly held her close. "I'm sorry," Molly said with a choked voice, "I'll leave you alone." Serena stopped her, and looked up into her eyes as she said, "Darien and I broke up for good a few weeks ago, and now I look at you, and see how much of what I loved was the Prince, Tuxedo Mask. The way you move, the toss of you head, the attitude, it's all there, and I don't have the slightest idea what to do about it." Molly smiled down to her, tempted to take advantage, but she stopped herself. "Serena," she said, "this isn't the time for you to make any decisions. You've just had a shock and need time to deal with it. Heck, I'm still trying to deal with it!" she said with a smile. "You're my friend, and I don't want to do anything to change that."
