Race for Life: A Sailor Moon Story by Atrea Standard disclaimers: I don't' own and sailor moon characters. I only own l and Silphe (a moon element). Now on to th' story ______________________________________________________________________________ L walked down the street sadly looking down. ?I wish there was something..I could do...why did it have to be Serena? She is so innocent...why..would someone want to hurt her...I remember clearly why she's in need of surgery...which her family...can't pay for...' he thought *Flashback* "I am so late!!!! L you should have woke me up!!! you are always awake before me!!!" yelled Serena. "Don't blame me Serena...it was Luna who should have woke us both up!!!" said L with a glare at Luna. "What?? L..you should be used to this by now!! You've been here with us for almost 7 months!!" yelled the black cat running alongside L and Serena. L stuck his tongue out at the cat and turned his head. "SERENA!!! LOOK OUT!!!" he and Luna yelled. A truck was heading to where Serena was crossing the road. She didn't even see it coming. "SERENA!!!" L ran forward to the limp figure on the road. "Good lord....she's in bad shape...help!!!" *End Flashback* He lifted his head and saw a poster that said "Race" or something on it. He ran to ti and looked the poster over. "Race...The grand prize winner wins a sum total of $1,000,000 yen." His eyes widened at the prize. "At the Tokyo national race track..all racers sign up there". He thought to himself for a minute then took off to the race track. ______________________________________________________________________________ "You have to be kidding...they are actually going to let L run...with cars?!" asked a shocked Rei. "Seems so...everyone knew him so they let him sign up...I wonder why he's doing this...oh well...hey it's starting...let's watch and hope he wins. Each racer has to complete 22 laps and a final to win." said Mina. She and all of Serena's friends, family , and allies (including the 4 generals) turn and face the race track. They managed to get in the front row thanks to L. "Ladies and Gentleman...the race is about to begin..Racers! Start your engines!" yelled an announcer. "Ready...Set,..." L crouched down in wait. "GO!!!" L took off followed by all the cars. He ran by all his friends, waving. "Go L!! GO L!! Yeah!!" they all yelled. ______________________________________________________________________________ "Come on L...you can make it...it's the final lap..." mumbled Ami. The others were cheering at yelling hoping L could make the lap, even if he was very tired. Suddenly a cloud of dust went by all the cheering fans. "The winner is...what do you know..L!!" shouted the announcer. All his friends stood up yelling like crazy. "Yes!!!! We knew you could do it!!!" L claimed his prize and he headed to the hospital almost right away. ?Wonder where he's going.." thought Seiya. ______________________________________________________________________________ The next day...Serena was unbelieveably awake and laughing. Everyone was wonderign what the heck happened when she was so out of it before. They then realized what happened. "L!!" they all yelled at once. "He entered the race...and got the money to save her life! But...where is he...?" wondered Seiya. "Good question.." answered Lita's friend Ken. ______________________________________________________________________________ A smiling L was walking next to a confused Silphe and then l started to explain why he was so happy. He turns his head and winks. ?Heh...' he thought. ______________________________________________________________________________ and that's the end! Email me with any comments please! Bye now ~Atrea
