Lita and Ken were sitting down by gate G6 at the Hijaku International Airport. This was going to be their first vacation together... alone. They were both a little sick of the hustle and bustle of everyday Tokyo life and not too mention the big fight that Lita and Amy were having.

"Just because Amy's smart doesn't mean that she knows everything", sighed Lita.
"Yeah, and I can't believe that she offended your cooking!" returned Ken.
"Yeah, she just has weak stomach, no one else vomited after eating my panda mango muffin madness.", snorted Lita. (please note: panda mango muffin madness not really made with pandas)
"OK, let us go over the checklist one more time," said Ken. "Beach towels, check! Super powerful sun block, check! Sandals, check! Swim suits, check! Sunglasses, check! Books, check!" And with a quiet voice that only Lita could hear he said "henshin pens and emergency over-seas communicators, check."

Just then Ken notices Lita's quiet demeanor. She is looking through the floor length windows with a worried face. Her lips crumble into a snarl as she clutches the strings on her green hoodie nervously. Ken kindly puts his hand on her shoulder realizing that Lita is once again having doubts.

Lita worriedly asks, "It is going to be all OK, right Ken?"
"Sure thing, nothing bad ever happens to good people.", assures Ken. "And good riddance to bad people."

Lita once again felt comfortable and so she wrapped her hands around Ken's neck and gave him a passionate kiss that she could only give to Ken.

"Save the action 'till after we get the peanuts," Ken said in a weird but funny way.

Lita gave him a gentle push and the two began to wrestle in the middle of the airport. Their game finally ended when the loudspeaker went on and it was time for their flight. While Ken happily bounded onto the plane, Lita took extra time by moving incredibly slow and very slowly handing the woman her ticket that shouts could be heard from the back of the line to hurry it up. Lita's normally rosy face had faulted to her trademark color... green, then fushia, then blue, then an odd shade of purplish yellow.

"You know miss, we have a special class for people who have trouble flying" inquired a flight attendant.
"I don't need to be on the back of the plane with a couple of singing freaks" Lita replied curtly with a tone that could have made anyone's hair stand on end.
"Oh dear" the flight attendant said and quickly rushed away
"Hey Li, maybe you were a little hars--"
"Harsh? You think I'm harsh?" Lita was practically yelling. "Did your parents die in a plane accident? Do you like the idea of being suspended in air in a machine that might not even hold us up? Hmm? Well you shouldn't be talking!"

As soon as Lita said this she quickly apologized to Ken.

"Sorry about that outburst, it's just that, that, tha--"

Then she burst into tears. Ken took her into an embrace softly cooing in her ear that everything would be all right. Lita began to cry a little softer in his arms.

"What if everything is not all right?"

Just then the pilot came on to give instructions.

"Hello passengers and welcome to Continental airlines. In case of an emergancy put on your life vest... thank you and have a safe flight on Continental airlines," the captian finished.
"Ken are you sure this is 100% safe?" Lita asked unsurly.
"As long as I will live I swear to protect you, so if it answers your question, yes you are safe," he aswered lightly.
"Oh Ken, that's why I love you so much!"

The two embraced tightly but let go to realize the whole plane was cooing (y'know that little awwwwwww thing) them on becasue they had listened to their entire conversation and even though they didn't know all the details, thought it was so sweet. They only talked in whispers after that.

The loudspeaker went on. "Hello ladies and gentlelmen we are experiencing some turbulence. Please fasten your seatblets. We are going to be just above the Bermudan Triangle in about two hours marking the halfway piont of our trip. Thank you and enjoy your flight."

Wow, the bermudian triangle. She had read all about the mysterious disspaearences but never believed any of them. She reassuringly reached over for Ken's hand except he wasn't there.

"Where the hell is he, oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man..." Lita thought to herself.

Lita closed her eyes and began singing lightly to herself. Whenever she was really in trouble or really scared, she sang. It cleared her head. When she sang she would ride off into the wind free with nothing to bother her. She would be safe and sound and nobody could do a thing to her.

"You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Assuming I like what I hear
And now I'm stuck in the
Web your spinning
You got me for your prey
Sorry I'm not home right now
I walking into spider webs
So leave a message and I'll call you back
A likely story but leave a message and I'll call ya back
Your dreaming of what's mine
And your taking up my time
I don't have the courage inside me
To say please let me be
Communication
A telephonic invasion
I'm planning my escape
Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking in the spider webs
So leave a message and I'll call you back
A likely story but
Leave a message and I'll call ya back
And it's all your fault
A scream of phone calls
No matter who calls
You got a screaeaeam of phone calls
Now it's gone to deep
You wake me in sleep..."

Then something had gotton a hold fast on her. Was she in the spider webs? Could this be real. Lita opened her eyes and jabbed whoever was holding her in the stomach forgetting she was on the plane. Satisfied with her action she looked over to see who it was. Another of those thugs that follow her to school every day, probably. But before she could turn around she remembered. She was on a plane sitting in a two seat with Ken and he must have went to the bathroom and came back and saw her singing and... uh oh. Slowly, ever so slowly Lita turned her head to see Ken in his seat. Tears streaming down his face cluthing his stomach in pain.

"EEEEP!" was all that came from Lita's mouth.
"Shhshh, stop stop, don't cry don't cry." Lita gently took him in her arms and tried to make him fell better giving him little kisses all over his face. Finally his tears dried up and the first thing he said was.
"Y'know Lita you got one hellava punch there," then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
" Awww, crap, oh well," then she snuggled up next to Ken and feeling warm and safe fell asleep right next to him.

"My head feels like a badgers butt not to mention my stomach" groaned Ken.

He got up to go to the bathroom and he saw Lita sitting in her seat singing a "No Doubt" song that she liked. She looked pretty scared so he went to give her a hug and a kiss and she must have thought him someone else because she rammed her elbow into his gut and that was that. Ken was pretty upset but after seeing her snuggled up beside him sleeping softly he couldn't stay mad. He leaned down to give her a kiss. Halfway through she opened her eyes and put her arms around his neck. After they broke apart they were both smiling.

"Thank you for waking me up other than the way that you usually do. I hate it when you plug my nose and mouth and watch me turn blue before I turn you to mush," said Lita.
"All in a days work," replied Ken puffing out his chest for emphasis.

Lita lifted her fist as to give him another blow when he caught her hand in mid-air.

"Wait, don't kill me on our vacation."

The flight attendants started handing out little backpacks for the kiddies. Lita wanted one but was too old to get one so she put it out of her mind. She started reading a book that was reccommended to her called "Flowers in the Attic", when Ken poked her in the shoulder.

"I think the kids in front of you have to say something." Ken said.

Slightly annoyed from being taken away from her book she looked up. She had just reached the part where Chris and Cathy had been caught by their evil over-religious grandmother who was about to whip them. What she saw brought tears to her eyes. The kids in the seat in front of her were all smiling and giggling each holding up a sign. Lita slowly read the tears flowing faster and faster.

"Lita... Look... To... The... Left."

Look to the left? She looked to the left and saw more signs.

"Take... A... Look... At... Your... Boyfriend."

That was easy and when she looked she couldn't help but get a little fustrated. There he was holding a sign. That said:

"The Kids made me do it, now look up."

Finally she looked up to see a sign that made her dizzy and want to faint. The sign said:

"Lita will you please on the promise of Jupiter marry me?"

Lita was speachless. When she looked at him and saw the love in his eyes she threw her arms around him and cried.

"Of course I will with the promise of Jupiter, and all the inner and outer planets and the asteriods, and Mau, and all the blessings of the moon I know."

"Close you eyes and open your hand and I will give you a big suprise"

Lita loved getting suprises but she thought that Ken liked giving them better. She felt something slip on her finger. She opened her eyes to see the loveliest ring on her ring finger. It was a pink rose gem with diamonds surrounding an emerald heart. Tears came into Lita's eyes and she threw her arms around Ken giving him all the love she could muster in one kiss. Then it computed. He had this plane rigged. He had a sheepish look in his eyes as he slowly realized she had found out. They both looked lovingly in each other's eyes when the plane did a bounce.

"Ken, what was that?" questioned a slightly worried Lita.
"Oh nothing, probably just a little turbulance."

Just then the loudspeaker went on.

"We are experiencing some turbulence. Please fasten your seatbelts at this time. We are 30,000,000 above sea level and we are nearing the Bermuda Tri--"

Static and nothing but static.

Somewhere in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle...

"Forlorciesc ( Floor-Lor-C-es) is the plan in action?" asked a mysterious voice.

It was a very misty and raspy voice as if the person was crying or just hadn't spoken for many years.

"Yes my queen, the plane is on time and it seems to have the decendents of Jupiter we have been searching for," answered Forlorsiesc.

Forlorciesc was fair to look at and had a deep reasonate voice.

"Gooood very goood," answered the mysterious person.

A high picthed laugh echoed through the walls of the dungeon rattling the frames and the very walls.

"With that little Jupiter scout out of the way the prince will be mine, mhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahyahahaha--"

While up above on ther surface Forlorciesc began his orders.

Just then the plane another bounced. Ken reassured her it was only turbulence.

"Ken all I have to say to you is that this had better be turbulance," said Lita hotly.
"You gotta stop worrying nothing bad will happe--"

Ken was cut off to a wing next to Lita exploding. Lita couldn't help herself, she screamed. Louder and more frightened than she had ever screamed before. Then her eyes rolled back into her head and she fainted. The loudspeaker was broken so a flight attendant came out.

"Will everyone please put on your life jackets. We will evacuate this plane in an orderly and sensible fashion."

Just then the wing on the other side of the plane exploded. While Ken was trying to revive Lita, she was reliving the moment her parents died.

~Flashback~

"Momma, papa, don't go!" cried Lita.

She was only 9 and hated being away from her parents.

"Don't worry honey," soothed her mother, "we'll bring you back something nice".

Lita's face formed a pout. Then something was itching in the back of her mind.

"Y'know, I don't think you should go. I just got a feeling that you shouldn't," stated Lita.

Lita's father scooped her up in his arms for the last time.

"Come on Li, don't be selfish. And don't worry your mother and I will be alright."

Both Lita's parents exchanged knowing glances.

"We'll only be gone for a short while. So sit tight and always remember we love you," reassured Mrs. Kino.

They both bent down to give Lita kisses and then they were gone. No later than an hour the nanny came in. About two hours later the police came to the door. Lita was in the playroom when she over-heard the cop say her name. She cautiously got up to see what had happened and she caught that last phrase.

"Both wings on her parents flight had fallen off after an engine broke, they were not one of the lucky surviors," finished the officer.

Just then the officer and the nanny got a glimpse of Lita standing in the doorway. She was as stiff as a stone and tears were streaming down her face. Before that had happened she had believed in fairytales. When she heard her parents had died, she lost some of her innocence as a child and matured almost three years in that doorway. She no longer believed that stories had good endings.

~End Flashback~

Ken was crying over Lita's slumped form. After everyone had evacuated Ken refused to leave Lita. If she was going to go down, he would go down with her. Then out of nowhere Setsuna's head popped out of thin air.

"Anyone but you guys left on the plane?" she questioned, not in the least bit of panic.

Numbly Ken shook his head.

"Well good," she cleared her throat as if to say something she had been rehersing for some time. "With the order of Serenity I have the privilege to break a taboo and bring you a very short distance to a safe place. I may not bring you back to Tokyo for you might not make it. So I will bring you to the middle of the Bermuda Triangle where you can recover and gather your power to teleport out of there. I will also give you one of my keys so you may call on my power for help. Now lift her up and bring her into the portal with you," she finished and stood by the portal expectantly.

With utmost care Ken gathered Lita in his arms and walked toward the portal. What they didn't know is that somewhere there someone was expecting their arival. Before Ken could rech the inside of the portal Pluto stopped him.

"If we don't wake her up we may loose her in the portal," stated Setsuna.

Ken was all out of ideas to wake her up until Pluto piped in.

"I'll wake her up if that is what you worried about."

She picked up her staff. She lightly tapped Lita on the head. It made a light 'thunk' on Lita's head. Ken winced as he thought of the pain. Lita started to open her eyes. Then she started glowing. The entire plane was filled with green light and where Lita and Ken stood they were replaced by Sailor Jupiter and Jupiter Knight. The moment they stepped into the portal the plane crashed into the water and became a wreck.

"That wretched Scout escaped with him!" screamed the same mysterious voice.

Forlorciesc was also beside himself in anger. Nobody had ever escaped one of his plans. But he knew where they were going.

"My queen, I know that attempt did not work but they are coming here," stated Forlorciesc proudly.

Intruiged with this tidbit of information the queen took more interest.

"What do you mean they are coming here? Tell me more Folrlorcies, MORE!" she raved.

Sastified with his knowladge Forlorciesc began:

"I had over-heard that a scout with the blessings of Pluto and the blood of Chronos had ordered them to come here. They are to recuperate and warp out of here but that may take some time. We can catch that little Jupiter brat and Jupiter Knight will be yours for the taking."

The dungeon echoed with their laughter. An evil and unholy laughter that shook the heavens and brought tears to anyone's eyes who had even a little goodness in them.

In the gate of time, Lita was so shaken she could barly walk. She had once again, as her duty to a scout, cheated death and she was thankful for it. She was so close to going the same way her parents did. If it wasn't for Pluto... Ken interrupted her thoughts.

"Well, so much for that honeymoon I planned," he said jokingly.

This lit the fuse on Lita.

"I... we almost died back there and all you can think about is a damn honeymoon? Honestly if I went home and stayed in my room and never fought another battle as long as I live I would be happy."

Lita's battery then finally gave out. She slumped down into a sitting position on the ground (If... there... is a floor in the gate of time?).

"I refuse to go any farther. Pluto give me a key. I am going back home on my own," stated Lita plainly.
"No you can't do that, 1: you might not make it and 2: I would be breaking a taboo. It just wouldn't work," Pluto said agitatedly.

She didn't like the way this was going.

"Fine, don't break your stupid taboo and don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I am going on my own and eventually I'll make it back," Lita said hotly.

With that she got up and started running. Pluto, not in the least bit daunted lifted her staff. It began to glow and in a minute Lita was back in her sitting position, arms crossed and a pout on her face.

"Remeber, the gate is my playground like, hmm, oh watch this!" she said exictedly.

She lifted her time staff way above her head and muttered a few words. The whole area was engulfed in light and lo and behold there was Rei. She looked extremely scared and was oblivious to what was going on. She was in her robes and was in a sweeping position.

"Hi Rei," said Pluto cheerfully.

It was actually nice to talk to or at least see Rei again but she wasn't moving.

"Oh well time to send you back."

And in the blink of an eye she was gone.

"See what I mean," said Pluto a matter of fact-ly.

And they resumed their walk. After about 3 minutes of walking Pluto stopped.

"This is where I drop you off. You know your instructions."

Before they could say anything more they were gone. The last thing they heard was pluto saying "Toodles."

They were being sucked through a powerful vortex. There was a hot blinding light and Jupiter Knight and Sailor Jupiter and Jupiter Knigt were in the Beremuda triangle. The first thing they thought was, "This place looks like hell" and it did. All the planes and people that had been missing in the Bermuda triangle were there but it looked terrible. Mangled bodies and burning wrecks were strewn about. Just then Pluto's head reappeared again.

"Oh, by the way, all your luggage and stuff is back at Lita's apartment. See ya!"

There was a small pop and she was gone. Sailor Jupiter quickly found Jupiter Knight's hand and they began in.

"They are here my queen," came the voice of Forlorcies.

An evil grin spread across the queen's face.

"Good, carry on with the plan", returned the queen.

Then Forlorciecs dissapeared.

Lita had wanted to vomit seeing all the gory, bloody bodies strewn about. Then something happened that they didn't excepct to happen. Someone was still alive.

"Who is that?" he said in a scratchy voice, "Are you here to save me? Oh bless the lord!"

It was an elderly man who looked like he had been there for some time. They both ran over to him to see what his problem was.

"Hello sir, can we help you?" questioned Lita.

The man's eyes turned dark. Lita took a step back while Ken stepped in front of her.

"Yes you can," he said evilly, "by getting out of the way!"

Lita stood back startled a little bit. She knew that something was going to happen, but she didn't know what, and not knowing what is what bothered her. Ken turned to Lita nervously. He knew something was going to happen to Lita. He backed a little closer to Lita knowing that she was the target. Suddenly he felt dark energy behind him. He whipped around to see Forlorcies holding Lita captive.

"You do what what I say or the girl gets it!" he demanded, nodding his head off.

What he nodded to was called The Pit. It was an endless pit of fire which anyone who went in could never escape their firery doom. Ken could clearly see that Lita was in trouble and in pain from being handled so roughly, but he couldn't have any harm done to her. He gave up.

"Ken nooooooooo!" screamed Lita.

Forlorcies quickly silenced her.

Sailor Jupiter was placed in a containment field where she could not escape. Groggily, she opened her eyes trying to remeber what happened. Then it all hit her. The plane crash, Pluto, Ken... Where was Ken? She got up and looked at her surroundings. It was terrible. If Martha Stewart was there she might have a decorators heart attack. Oh well, she thought, better try to get out of here.

To Be Continued...
