Rowen had taken Amy back to the temple. She was sitting on his bed while he was looking for things to clean and cover the cut she had. He walked over to her with a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in one hand, and a large wrap in the other.

"This may sting." He poured it onto the cut causing Amy to flinch. "Sorry."

"You know what's funny about this?"

"What?"

"This hurts more than the sword." He sort of laughed not knowing whether it was supposed to be funny or not. Then he dried it off with his sheet and began to wrap her shoulder. "Thanks Rowen."

"I'm the one who should be thanking you. You saved my life."

"You have already thanked me, and you have saved my life many times before. We are hardly even."

"But you refused to give up on me. You didn't stop loving me. I never knew...I mean I knew I loved you but I didn't know you loved me that much. I've never had a girl risk everything for me, especially when you shouldn't even be fighting."

"What? I'm a Sailor Scout I am supposed to fight."

"Amy, I know that you are pregnant." She stared at him for a minute than looked away.

"How did you find out?"

"Sharon told me. She was trying to make me feel horrible before I died. But you save me and now I am able to tell you how much I love you and how sorry I am. Now I will be able to be there for you. I want to be there for you when the baby is born."

"It's a lot of responsibility Rowen. Are you sure you are ready to handle a baby?"

"No, not exactly. But I am sure that I love you and that if we both try our best, we could share the responsibility and raise our child together. We are in this together and I am not going to make you do it by yourself. It's hard enough raising a child with somebody, but to raise one alone. I can't do that to you. And I can't do that to the baby. I?I?I am ready to be a father."

"Thank you." She cried and hugged him and he kissed her cheek. Then, at least for Amy, time seemed to slow down. He held her around the waist and kissed her. It was the purest kiss they had ever shared. It was more than just a kiss, Rowen had never loved anybody like her before and all of his emotions from his heart were poured into making the kiss perfect. And it was?at least until Raye walked in.

"Sorry?Hey, wait a minute. You are back together? Oh my God! That's great!"

"Thanks Raye but what are you doing in my room."

"I was going to talk to you about listening to what Amy had to say but I guess you did."

"Actually, I didn't and I learned she was telling me the truth the hard way." He stood up and walked over to Raye. " I am not sure if she told you yet, but I am going to be a father."

"She has told me and congratulations." She hugged him. "You know what I just thought of. I am going to be an aunt. Thanks for knocking her up Rowen."

"HEY!" He laughed. She took off down the hall. "That girl is something else."

"Rowen, we still have a problem. The other guys still think that they are in love with the Moons and we have to convince them that they are not."

"Trying to convince them anything is like trying to convince babe that he is a pig. They will always believe that they are dogs."

"I am not talking about a movie Rowen, I am being serious."

"Don't worry about it baby. I'll take care of it."

"Yes I know. But that is what I am afraid of."

"You don't like the way I take care of things?"

"It's not that, but you don't realize that they are being manipulated into doing whatever the Moon's tell them to do. If they tell them to kill you they will."

"I don't think that the hold is that strong."

"It is. Don't you understand even you were under her thumb? She told you to attack me and you did."

"So they don't even realize what they are doing?" His eyes narrowed. "They've gone to far. The Moon's will pay."

The sun had gone down and crowds were flocking to the Remus Club because it was Open Mic Night. The crowd included Lita, Mina, Raye, and Serena. As they entered and found a seat they realized that they had just walked into a possible hostile situation. Sitting on the other side of the room was Sage, Christie, Kento, Demi, Cye, Tracy, Ryo and Phibi. But they felt a little better when they saw that Amy and Rowen were sitting together.

"Can we join you?" asked Lita.

"I suppose." Said Rowen. The girls shuffled into the semi-circle booth. "So how are you girls doing?"

"We're fine if you don't count that our boyfriends are sitting with the prettiest girls in the club." Said Raye.

"I don't know about that." Rowen replied. "The prettiest girls are sitting right here with me." They all giggled and blushed.

"You're so sweet." Said Amy. "Hey Lita, the first slot is open for the stage. You have always had a nice singing voice. Why don't you try it?"

"NO!"

"Come on Lita." Everybody pleaded.

"But what will I sing?"

"What ever song comes to mind."

"Fine I will do it. But you girls have to do it after me. Deal?"

"Deal." They all said. Lita walked onto the stage and grabbed the microphone.

"Hi." She said in a small voice. "?my name is?uh?is?"

"YOUR NAME IS LITA!" Screamed Serena. Everybody in the club laughed. "COME ON LITA YOU CAN DO IT!" Lita scanned the audience and realized that the boys and their new girlfriends were just waiting for her to screw up. She suddenly gained confidence. "I will be singing smile by Nat King Cole." Everybody clapped except for the boys and Rowen and the girls. They were screaming and whistling.

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

The whole club burst in applause. Lita had a strong and beautiful singing voice. "Okay Mina, your up."

"Okay, okay. I'm going." She walked onto the stage. "Hi people. My name is Mina and I will be singing?Wind beneath my wings."

Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine, that's your way
You always walked a step behind

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain
A beautiful face without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it
I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, the wind beneath my wings
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings

Fly, fly, fly away
You let me fly so high
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky

Thank you, thank you, thank God for you,
the wind beneath my wings

Again everyone clapped. Next Raye and Serena came up. "Hi I am Raye."

"And I'm Serena."

"Tonight we will perform, Don't Say you love me."

"By M2M."

Raye-Got introduced to you by a friend
You were cute and all that, baby you set the trend
Yes you did oh
The next thing I know we're down at the cinema
We're sitting there, you said you love me
What's that about?

Serena-You're moving too fast, I don't understand you
I'm not ready yet, baby I can't pretend
No I can't
The best I can do is tell you to talk to me
It's possible, eventual
Love will find a way
Love will find a way...

Both-Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time

Raye-Here's how I play, here's where you stand
Here's what to prove to get any further than where it's been
I'll make it clear, not gonna tell you twice
Take it slow, you keep pushing me
You're pushing me away
Pushing me away...

Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time

oooo, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
na, na, na, na, na, na
oooo, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Don't say you love me
You don't even know me baby...

Baby don't say love me, baby
Give me some time...

(CHORUS repeats until fade out)

Applause and then Rowen and Amy cam on the stage introduced them selves and announce that they were going to sing "At the Beginning".

Amy-We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

Rowen-No one told me, I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start

* And life is a road and I wanna keep goin'
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin'
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you

Amy-We were strangers, on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true

Rowen-Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

[Repeat *]

Both-Knew there was somebody somewhere
I need love in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing is going to tear us apart

[Repeat *]

Both-Life is a road and I wanna keep goin'
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin' on

Amy-Starting out on a journey

[Repeat *]

In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning
With you

They got a standing ovation, except by, well do I really have to tell ya? As Rowen and the girls were getting ready to leave the club the boys and the Moons blocked their way.

"You sold out Rowen. You were the first to dump them and now you went back. You are a traitor."

"And you are being fooled Sage. They don't really love you. They will kill you when they get a chance. They just want your sisters throne Sage, you'd think somebody as wise as you would know that."

"Rowen, let's just go."

"Shut your girl up."

"Amy, stay out of this."

"She's right Rowen let's go."

"Wow. That's rare." Said Sage. "Since when has Lita become the voice of reason? Don't you want a fight?"

"More than you know but I am being the better person. Let's go Rowen." They started to walk around them until Kento violently grabbed Serena's arm.

"Why don't you just give them the throne then Serena. If you are so worried that they are going to kill us. Give them the throne and save your friends."

"There are more important things. I don't trust them with the throne. If I had to give it to anybody it would be Raye or Amy. Now let me go."

"No. I want to know why you won't try to save your friends or us. If they are such a threat give them what they want."

"Kento, do you remember when you fought the nether realm? You would have given your life to the dynasty if it meant that the whole world could live. My friends feel the same way, and at this rate I don't care what you feel."

"That's it Serena. Outside, you and me. We will settle this."

"Back off Kento." Lita stepped in between them. "Let us go and we won't hurt you."

"Do you really think that you can hurt me."

"I have powers that you haven't even seen yet."
