Sailor Moon: Thankful

The short story begins at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, Japan! The 3 Sailor Scouts, Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, and Sailor Mercury had defeated the evil Jedite, one of Queen Beryl's commanders! But they had paid a dear price! Tuxedo Mask, one of the Sailor Scouts' most trusted friends, had apparently died during his battle with Jedite! Sailor Moon and her friends looked at the river where Tuxedo Mask fell! Sailor Moon said "Tuxedo Mask! I can't believe he's gone!" The Sailor Scouts were in tears! Tuxedo Mask was such a mysterious hero, and now...! Luna the black cat said "But he is, I'm afraid! You must learn to fight without him!" Sailor Moon tearfully replied "Never! Never!" Suddenly, a familiar voice said "I'm glad you were worried about me!" The Sailor Scouts turned around and saw Tuxedo Mask! He was still alive! The Sailor Scouts smiled! Sailor Moon said "Tuxedo Mask! Jedite said that he'd destroyed you!" Tuxedo Mask said "I'm not so easy to get rid of!" Sailor Mercury said "Tell me, Tuxedo Mask, why is it that you always show up just at the right time to save us?" Sailor Moon said "I know why! It must be because you're in love with me!" Sailor Mercury said "Huh?" Sailor Mars said "Oh!" Sailor Mars then said "Who are you, Tuxedo Mask?" Tuxedo Mask said "For now, that must remain a secret! Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, and Sailor Mercury, be loyal and true friends to each other! Farewell!" and then he took off into the night as the Sailor Scouts sighed! The Sailor Scouts have a lot to be thankful for!
