Title: Stars

Hello friends! Your eyes are not deceiving you… I… Marronett am posting a brand new story. Like a real, long story and not just a one shot!

I found this and though it isn't as polished as I would love to present to you… it would just be a crime not to share it. Heads up – I am bad at action sequences and did cut a bunch just to get this thing out into the world… but I mean do you really need them? No. Just go watch the show, they do it way better anyway. I'm here for the story, the romance and the humor.

I hope you deeply enjoy it and know it means so much to me to have others read it. Thank you for your time. I appreciate you spending it on me.

Much love & God Bless!

It was a beautiful day. Sun was shining, birds chirping and arcade machines humming. She bonked another fry across the table watching it skid into the empty spot in their usual booth.

"I wonder what Meatball head is doing right now," Rei said into the air and Minako grumbled leaning on the table. Ami looked up from her book at them.

"Probably dancing backstage with the greatest band in the world," Minako hissed and then sighed with depression, her head lying limp in her arms.

"I miss her," Makoto whispered quietly glancing at the accumulation of fries in the vacant seat beside her. Rei nodded with a deep breathed sigh as her chin fell lazily into her palm. "Do you think it was the right thing for us to do to let her go with them?" Makoto asked nervously, her voice voluntarily lowering and Minako looked up at her, abruptly. Ami gulped sitting up straight as well as she jumped into the conversation.

"She is our Princess…" Ami mumbled quietly and Rei looked up.

"But Seiya-kun loves her… he might be her true love," Minako stated and Makoto nodded with a sigh. "It was only for a short time and Luna did go with her… she will be back and stay here once more," she tried to add reassuringly perhaps more for her own sake than theirs.

"Michiru-san and Haruka-san have still not spoken to us since we let her go…" Ami said quietly reminding them of their separation and Rei nodded reluctantly.

"Do you think that means we could have done the wrong thing?" Rei inquired and Minako sighed and pulled out a huge stack of letters with a rubber band wrapped around them. Makoto smiled at them and Rei poked at the pink envelopes mixed in there among the normal white.

"Usagi-chan is happy… read any one of her letters that she sends us and we would know that," Minako said and then she slammed her fist on the table. "I am happy for Usagi-chan cause she is finally happy…we should all be happy for her!" The blonde's voice had risen to a yell and the others looked at her alarmed then weakly nodded with agreement. Minako sat back down and smiled down at the letters. "She has found her true love," she smiled and the others nodded quietly. They were about to wrap up their freshman year in high school. Usagi had met the Three Lights in the beginning of the school year when they had transferred to their school. All of the girls had fallen over them except for Usagi who had never really heard of them. Usagi soon caught the bug and joined in with Minako's antics to be around them. Rei sighed remembering when Usagi went out with Seiya and how jealous she had been. She giggled to herself remembering and sighed when she thought of how Usagi had rushed to her temple that night to tell her that she had her first kiss. Rei had been so happy for her… yet it had felt like some old movie Dejavu. Ami glanced at Rei and knew from her look what she was thinking about. The logical one smiled remembering how the pop idol had chased after Usagi even though the Moon Princess was not likely to be swayed… She didn't fall for him because he was an idol but because he genuinely loved her and had a good heart… Ami sighed, comfort coming to her at that thought. She closed her book and looked at her three silent friends… they missed Usagi. She was the light among all of them.

"You know," Ami smiled and the three looked up at her. "The Three lights have a concert here next month," she said and they gasped and smiles came to their faces.

"That means Usagi will come home!" They cried and Ami nodded, a grin of excitement lighting her own features.

Haruka growled and swatted at her glass. Michiru watched calmly as it flew across the room and then shattered against the wall. That was the third one this week. The orange liquid dripped down the beige wall. She sighed and sipped her coffee. Haruka grumbled to herself and then glanced at her partner.

"You cannot be mad at them forever. They may know better then us." Michiru said quietly and Haruka gave her an incredulous look. Michiru blushed slightly.

"They handed over our Princess to strangers," she hissed at her and Michiru blushed a little more and Haruka sighed and then smiled at her. "I like it when you blush," she whispered and Michiru stared at her with knowing eyes. Haruka sighed and looked away.

"Usagi-chan is really in love… You said so yourself when you saw them together last week at that concert," she replied and Haruka sighed and stared at the leaking orange juice down the wall.

"But I feel it… something is wrong," she replied and Michiru nodded.

"I feel it too… But I'm not sure what we should do about it," she replied and Haruka nodded.

"Me neither. We can only wait on our Princess," she replied and Michiru reached across the table and patted her hand.

"I have faith in her," she whispered and Haruka looked at her and smiled slightly.

"I do too."

Quietly her frame bent before her master. She gulped feeling the power radiate from her. With apprehension she looked up at her and red eyes stared at her critically.

"You called Galaxy-samma?" She replied, her blue hair tumbling down her shoulders to her feet.

"Sailor Aluminum Siren I want you to find me true Star Seeds so I can fulfill my plans," she said and Aluminum Siren nodded quickly. Galaxy turned and stared out into space as she stared at a small galaxy cluster. "I feel a strange power coming from this solar system… we must hurry. I do not want opposition," she growled and Aluminum Siren nodded.

"I will find you star seeds Galaxy-Samma," she replied and with a bow she vanished. Galaxy stared at the small swirling solar system. She stood, her gold outfit clinging to her body and she held out her hand towards it.

"I feel you… I know you are hiding in that galaxy… if I have to destroy every planet to get to you… I will," she hissed and then clenched her fingers together.

"Wow Motoki! This place looks great!" Minako cried as she spied the sparkling new furnishings. Motoki looked at his four best customers with a smile.

"I'm so happy for you," Ami smiled and the others nodded.

"Thanks! I was very surprised when my father let me have this place… I've been working at the Crown Game Center for so long… but it's been my dream to operate the Fruit Parlor and with the changes I've made I think I've made it very up to date," he grinned and the girls nodded glancing around the place and then Minako gasped.

"Oh you found it!" Motoki cried as he walked the girls to the counter. "I put it up just for you… my favorite customers," he smiled and Minako sighed contently staring at the pictures that lined the walls. "Everyone should have photos of their heroes," he replied and Ami blushed.

"That was so sweet Motoki," Makoto smiled and Rei glanced at her picture and then shook her head and grinned at him.

"How did you get these?" She asked suspiciously and he chuckled nervously.

"I thought we told you not to follow us when we go into battle!" Minako scolded and he smiled.

"But I had to just once… and you didn't even know I was there!" He grinned and Minako growled. Motoki had discovered their secret when Usagi had clumsily opened their secret hideout in his game center. Since then he's become an irreplaceable friend and companion.

"Who is this?" Ami asked quietly as she walked to the end of the counter. She pointed a picture of a man in a tuxedo, his face covered with a mask and it looked like he was flying.

"That's Tuxedo Mask! You don't remember him?" He asked and the four looked at him curiously. "Too bad… He's not around anymore, he moved away but he use to always save Sailor Moon when she was in a pinch," he replied and Rei grumbled.

"When isn't she ever in a pinch," she sighed and the other girls sighed as well.

"I hope to get pictures of the outers as well… I use to have so many more but I must have lost them," he mumbled and Minako gasped.

"You followed us more then one time!" She yelled and Motoki gulped as she began to yell at him. Ami sighed and looked around. She walked over to their usual booth and smiled seeing a picture hanging over it.

"Motoki is such a sweet guy to us. Like a big brother none of us ever had," Makoto smiled and Rei nodded walking up to them.

"Aw… Usagi," she smiled seeing a picture of all of them crammed in the booth. Rei sighed seeing her laughing as Usagi sat on her lap, the others smiling and waving.

"Look it has a little plaque…" Ami mumbled leaning forward to read it. "To the greatest sisters a guy could ever ask for," she read and then Motoki ran past them, Minako on his tail. She giggled and the girls all sighed.

"I wish Usagi could see this…" Makoto mumbled and Rei smiled.

"She would have been so put out if she would have had to endure the two weeks of refurbishment and not being able to come here," Rei mumbled and Makoto giggled.

"It's getting late… perhaps we should go home. Motoki has a big opening day tomorrow," Ami mumbled and they all nodded.

"Oh girls!" Motoki called running up to them. He spun and caught Minako holding her tightly so she wouldn't hit him. "Because you know I am your number one fan and confidant not to mention silent bodyguard…" He grinned and the girls giggled. "I also have another treat for you," he replied and quickly dragged Minako to the back room. The girls followed after him and Minako kicked her legs trying to get free.

"Oh," Ami mumbled seeing a strange large video game standing in the back supply room.

"It's a Sailor V Game!" Minako cried and Motoki grinned.

"Not only that… I worked with Luna to construct a tunnel that goes directly to your command center so if you are ever here… which you always will be," he said eying them and Rei gulped with a smile. "You can easily access it from here," he smiled and Ami smiled and then hugged him, followed by Rei and Makoto.

"Thank you so much Motoki!" They cried and Minako smiled at him.

"You are a true friend of the Sailor Senshi," she grinned and he blushed and wrapped an arm around them.

"Anything for my girls," he replied and Minako smiled at the large videogame.

"It works so Usagi can play it," he smiled and Minako gasped.

"Oh she will love that," Ami replied and he nodded.

"If she ever comes home," he hissed and the girls giggled.

"She will. Meatball head can't stay away from me long," Rei smirked and Minako shot her a look.

"You? You mean me!" She cried and the two began bickering.

"Oh you two…" Makoto laughed. "You know I was the nicest to her…" She began and Rei and Minako gasped. Motoki blinked and then watched with awe as Makoto jumped in on the verbal fight. Ami sighed and walked to the door.

"You can all bicker… but I've known her the longest and was her first best friend," Ami called over her shoulder and then vanished through the swinging door. Motoki grinned and the other three gasped.

"Ami-Chan!" They yelled and ran after her.

"See you girls tomorrow!" He called and they smiled on their way out the swinging door.

"See you tomorrow!" They called.

Motoki grinned and looked back at the video game. His brows furrowed. He wondered how Mamoru was doing. He hadn't heard from him in weeks.

"Congratulations," a female voice suddenly chirped and Motoki blinked and looked towards the back door.

"Who are you?" He asked, his blue eyes critically taking in her blue cloaked form. "I am Aluminum Siren from Galaxy T.V," she replied with a smile and Motoki

looked at her nervously.

"We don't open until tomorrow," he began and she shook her head.

"In that case may I see your star seed?" She asked and Motoki blinked at her.

"What?" He asked and then she pulled off her suit and revealed a blue uniform and Motoki gasped. "Sailor Senshi!" He screamed and Aluminum Siren blinked at him.

"No need to call out nonsense… this won't hurt," she cried and then slammed her bracelets together and two orange discs went flying towards him. Motoki gasped and tried to jump out of the way but one slammed into his back. He let out a cry of pain and then the other slammed into his chest.

"Did you hear that?" Makoto said as she looked at the others, their frames already outside the shop. "It was Motoki…" She said and took off running back inside. The girls quickly followed.

"Oh what a beautiful Star Seed…" Aluminum Siren cooed and then her face fell as the diamond turned black. "Oh phooey…" She cried and Makoto peeked through the door and gasped.

"Motoki's been attacked!" She cried and Rei looked up at her and then the others.

"Let's transform," Minako commanded and they nodded.

A light glowed behind Aluminum Siren and she sighed as a phone booth appeared. She took a step out and eyed her pale rival then frowned looking at the young man in silent mid-scream before them, his star seed as black as night.

"Oh how unfortunate," Aluminum Siren cried and Sailor Lead-Crow rolled her eyes.

"Yes! How unfortunate for you!" A voice cried from outside and both women blinked and looked at each other. They turned around and then stepped out of the room into the construction area outside.

"Who said that?" Sailor Lead-Crow demanded and Aluminum Siren looked around curiously.

"I did! I am Sailor Venus… the Champion of Love and Justice!" A woman cried appearing before them, an orange skirt blowing around her thighs as her blonde locks floated around her.

"I am Sailor Mercury!" A voice said jumping down next to her.

"I am Sailor Jupiter!" Another female voice cried appearing on the other side of Venus, their bright colors shining in the moonlight.

"And I am Sailor Mars and we won't let you hurt our friend!" She cried appearing next to Mercury and they all took attack positions.

"Oh how nice! I am Sailor Aluminum Siren," she smiled, her blue hair ruffling and Sailor Lead-Crow shot her a look. "And this is my rival Sailor Lead-Crow," she smiled pointing to her companion. Mercury exchanged a look with Mars then looked back at the two.

"Sorry but we don't have time to play… We must be off," Sailor Lead-Crow snapped and a phone booth appeared behind them.

"No!" Sailor Venus yelled and they stepped inside.

"Please play with our phage Sailor Game instead," Sailor Aluminum Siren giggled and then the booth vanished.

"Motoki!" Mars yelled running towards the door entrance when she gasped seeing him turn into a tall green monster. His head turned into a tv box as a change purse appeared around his waist.

Jupiter gasped taking a step back as they looked in horror at him. Mercury gasped and pulled out her computer trying to analyze him.

"Come for a game have you?" His voice cried. "Perhaps you need some change!" He laughed and held out his arm as quarters began to fly at them. Mars and Venus screamed as they jumped out of the way. Jupiter rushed to Venus and helped her up.

"Oh no! What do we do? I don't want to hurt Motoki…" Jupiter said and Venus could only stare, no answers coming to her mind as she was torn with the decision.

"World… Shaking!" A voice screamed and Mars let out a cry.

"No!" She yelled and watched as the yellow ball traveled across the ground and Sailor Game's eyes went wide.

"A new attack move?" He asked and then it smashed into his torso, throwing him towards a pile of garbage cans in the ally's corner. Two figures jumped next to Sailor Mercury.

"What are you waiting for? Finish him off," Sailor Neptune snapped and Venus shook her head.

"I can't! He is our friend. If we kill him he will never turn back to normal," she cried and Sailor Uranus narrowed her eyes.

"It is to late for him… if you will not finish him we will," she replied coldly and Mercury gasped and jumped on her, sending her to the dirt.

"No! Don't!" She screamed and Uranus landed with a surprise thud looking at the normally shy scout on top of her, pinning her there with all of her might.

"Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, sai, zen. Akuryou taisan!" Sailor Mars voice screamed as she jumped in the air, throwing white pieces of paper at him. Sailor Game gasped and they hit around his face and upper torso and stuck.

Neptune crossed her arms across her chest and stared at Uranus, as Mercury held her down. She narrowed her eyes.

"Uranus," she hissed and Uranus looked up at her and chuckled nervously.

"We cannot let you harm an innocent!" Mercury cried and Uranus looked up at her taken aback. Sailor Game growled and shook himself, the white pieces of paper flying to the ground. Sailor Mars gasped horrified at him.

"Motoki! Please remember us!" Sailor Jupiter cried and Sailor Game laughed.

"Seems you have run out of time! Sailor… Shooter!" He screamed lifting his arm again and more coins shot from his arm and the girls gasped and tired to doge them.

"Deep… Sub…" Neptune began and Venus gasped and jumped on her sending her to the ground next to Uranus.
"No! You will kill him!" She cried dirt smudged across her as scratches lined her features. Jupiter and Mars hit the ground and they gasped. Neptune looked up at the leader of the scouts that was on top of her and sighed.

"Neptune," Uranus snapped and she glanced at her partner.

"At least she is blonde," Neptune grumbled and Venus crawled off of her, Neptune sitting up. She looked over at the monster and gasped as he started to advance towards them.

"Turbo speed… super kill!" He cried preparing for his final blow. Uranus sat up shoving Mercury aside and Mercury gasped.

"I wish Sailor Moon were here!" Sailor Mars cried and Sailor Jupiter jumped to her feet.

"Stop right there!" A voice cried from above them and the four girls gasped. "I won't let you run amuck out side of a dear friend's shop… I am the Champion of Love and Justice!" She cried and everyone stopped and looked on top of the building where a shadow rested. The moonlight shone upon her and Sailor Venus gasped, a smile coming to her face.

"Sailor Moon," Uranus whispered and Neptune smiled. They watched as she began to finish her move, her wings glistening behind her.

"Pretty Sailor Soldier… Sailor Moon!" She cried and Sailor Game looked confused at her.

"You didn't insert an extra token to add a new player!" He hissed and aimed his arm at her. Sailor Jupiter gasped and jumped on his back, holding his arm down.

"In the name of the Moon! I will punish you!" Sailor Moon finished and then pulled out her tier. Uranus looked at her more closely then saw three figures standing behind her and Neptune gasped seeing them also.

"Now Sailor Moon!" Sailor Mars cried.

"Starlight Honeymoon… Therapy… Kiss!" Sailor Moon cried and bright pink lights shot at Sailor Game and Jupiter. Jupiter fell away with a gasp as feathers flowed towards the evil. He gasped staring at it.

"Beautiful Senshi!" He cried as his form melted away and he fell to his knees, Motoki returning as his star seed rested above his head. It went back into his body and he groaned, falling to the floor unconscious.

"Motoki…" Sailor Jupiter whispered going to him. She checked him and sighed seeing he was ok.

"Sailor Moon!" Sailor Mars cried looking up at her and Sailor Moon smiled tipping her head. Suddenly her frame jumped into the air and Uranus gasped as her form vanished.

"Where did she go?" Sailor Venus asked and Sailor Mars frowned.

"Has she left us?" Sailor Mercury asked and Sailor Uranus narrowed her eyes.

"Of course not," a female voice cried, her voice shocked at their thoughts.

"Luna?" Sailor Venus blinked and the cat smiled at them. Suddenly they heard a soft tap and looked towards the back of the alley. Their faces lit up seeing their Princess running towards them.

Sailor Moon laughed and the four girls quickly got together. She rushed into their arms and they held her, tears coming to their eyes out of happiness.

"Oh Usagi!" Jupiter cried and the small blonde laughed at them.

"We missed you so much Odango," Mars cried and hugged onto her tightly.

"We are so glad you are home!" Mercury cried and Sailor Moon held onto them tightly. Three figures jumped down and appeared a few feet behind Sailor Moon and her friends.

"She is happy to see them," one whispered and the other nodded.

"This is where she belongs," the white haired one said sternly and dark eyes stared at the beautiful soldier before them.

"This is where we belong as well for the moment," the leader replied and the other two sighed.

Sailor Uranus clenched her fists together and she and Neptune jumped forward and landed in front of the five Senshi.

"Leave this place!" Sailor Uranus cried and the three looked at her tolerantly.

"Uranus!" Sailor Moon cried and rushed to her. She put a hand on her arm and smiled. "They are our allies and have protected me for the last three months," she smiled, her blue eyes shining and Uranus looked at her slightly confused.

"They are aliens from outer space… it is our duty to protect this world from them," Sailor Neptune hissed.

"I can assure you we have no interest in this world," the tall one spat.

"Then leave it," Uranus hissed.

"They are the Sailor Starlights… they are searching for their Princess on this world," Sailor Moon cried and Sailor Star Fighter looked at her and then back at Uranus.

"We will as soon as our mission is complete," she hissed and then stepped back to where the other two stood. "Until we meet again," the Sailor replied and Sailor Moon gasped.

"Do not bother us or get in our way…" Sailor Star Healer snipped.

"We have no qualms killing you," Sailor Star Maker snapped and Fighter sighed and gave a curt nod.

"Fighter!" Sailor Moon cried and stepped in front of her Senshi. She smiled briefly at her with a wink and then the three jumped into the air and vanished.

"Sailor Moon you must never see them. They are not our allies," Sailor Neptune cried and Sailor Moon glanced at her shocked and tears filled her eyes.

"No… you are wrong," she whispered and Sailor Neptune blinked.

"Princess…" Sailor Uranus cried and Sailor Moon shook her head. "They are not from this world," she finished and Sailor Venus stepped to her Princess and took her into her arms.

"I think we have had enough excitement for today… let us take her home," she whispered and Uranus and Neptune nodded hesitantly. They jumped into the air and vanished. Venus smiled at her Princess and Mars appeared on her other side. Slowly they all de-transformed and Makoto picked Motoki up from the ground. He groaned and looked at them all.

"I had the strangest dream…" He mumbled and the girls giggled.

"Hello Motoki," Usagi smiled and his eyes lit up.

"Welcome home Usagi!" He cried.

"Remember we have school tomorrow," Ami smiled and Usagi nodded.

"Of course! We are in high school now!" Usagi cried and Rei smiled and hugged her once again. Usagi smiled and then pounced on all of them in a big hug. Ami smiled and let her go as Usagi rushed through the gates of her house and then turned back and waved enthusiastically.

"Goodnight Usagi!" Minako cried happily and then watched as their Princess went inside. The four smiled and then separated going on their way home.

"Mom! Dad!" Usagi cried walking in and her mother looked up surprised from her book.

"Oh Usagi! You're home!" She cried and Usagi smiled rushing to her in a hug.

"Someone dropped off all of your things this afternoon. How was your trip?" She cried and Usagi smiled then she caught the sight of a small child sitting on the floor. Bright pink hair curled around her frame from two heart shaped odango and Usagi blinked. Her bright blue eyes looked up at her and Usagi gasped.

"Chibi-Chibi!" She cried with a smile and Usagi grabbed onto her mother.

"Who is that!" She screamed and her mother looked at her oddly.

"It's your sister Usagi… honestly… you weren't gone that long," her mother scolded and Usagi gasped and the small girl ran up to her, hugging on her leg. Usagi let out a cry of alarm then looked back at her mother. She looked around the house and then gasped horrified seeing a family picture of them all. It was her parents, her brother Shingo and then her holding Chibi-Chibi.

"Chibi!" The small girl cried and Usagi stared horrified at her.

"Luna!" She screamed and the small cat tumbled down the stairs. She looked over to Usagi and the small child and then sat silently. Her mother rolled her eyes and went back to her reading.

"You are such a strange child Usagi," she whimpered and Usagi tried to dislodge the child from her leg.

Ami stood on her tiptoes looking down the road. Makoto checked her watch.

"We still have a few minutes… she usually runs late," she smiled and Ami sighed and looked back at her companion.
"Me?" A voice said behind them and they spun around.

"No, Usagi," Ami smiled and Minako grinned.

"Well I'm on time!" She cried happily and Makoto gasped. "Oh it's not that impossible Mako…" Minako replied miserably and Makoto shook her head.

"No, look! It's the three lights!" She cried, her eyes going dreamy and Minako gasped.

"They've transferred back to our school?" She cried incredulously and Ami nodded with a sigh holding onto her briefcase. They spied the three tall men dressed in black as they walked towards the entrance.

"Yes, they did along with Usagi," Ami replied and Makoto looked at her.

"Did Usagi go to school while she was on tour with them?" She asked and Ami nodded.

"She said she had a private tutor and that Taiki taught her most of her things," she replied and Minako gasped.

"What a lucky girl!" She cried and then they gasped as one of them walked up to them.

"Hello Seiya-kun!" Makoto greeted and Minako smiled repeating the greeting.

"Hello. How have things been?" He asked with a smile as he approached them, his companions behind him.

"Hello Yaten-kun!" Minako called and Yaten smiled slightly with a nod towards her. "Hello Taiki!" She called and the tall one nodded, a hand on his hip.

"Oh Luna!" Ami said spying the cat lying on Yaten's shoulder. The lounging feline blushed and meowed nervously. Yaten pet her chin lovingly.

"Yes, I've stolen her many times from Usagi-chan," he replied and Seiya glanced around the schoolyard.

"Where is Dumpling?" He asked and they heard a terrified screech. Everyone looked up and then Makoto blushed.

"There she is," she sighed and Minako looked down embarrassed. They saw pig tales bouncing above the walls and then the frantic class 10 student bounding through the gates. Seiya smiled and opened his arms and she smiled and her foot caught on a stone and she tripped into them. The warning bell rang and everyone looked up towards it.

"We should go," Ami said quickly and they nodded. Usagi gasped, trying to catch her breath and Seiya smiled down at her.

"Come Dumpling," he smiled taking her bag from her and they walked inside.

"Late as always eh Usagi-chan?" Yaten smirked and Usagi stuck her tongue out at him. Makoto blushed and laughed nervously at Usagi's behavior. Usagi sighed and linked arms with Seiya and Ami blinked glancing at Minako who smiled at the scene as they walked into the building.

"What a lucky girl!" Minako cried and Makoto giggled as they walked into their class. "Oh and us to! We are best friends with one of the three lights girlfriends!" She cried and Ami sighed with a blush.

Minako glanced at Usagi and Taiki as they fought about a problem on her homework. She sighed and smiled looking at her desk companion.

"Have you missed me?" She asked and Yaten blinked and looked at her oddly. Seiya hit him from behind and Yaten smiled.

"Ah yes…" He replied and Minako giggled.

"Really?" She asked and he shook his head and Minako rolled her eyes. "We are glad you have brought Usagi back to us…" She replied and Yaten glanced at the blonde.

"Yes. She is a handful. Trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes," Yaten grumbled remembering their many incidents and especially her Sailor Moon moments. He glanced at Minako curiously… she looked a lot like… Minako slammed her book shut and he jumped slightly and ended his train of thought. That silly girl couldn't be a Sailor Senshi.

"Yes, she has always been like that," Minako smiled and then sighed happily. "But we love her anyway. Her heart is so big," she cooed and Yaten nodded, admiring her admiration for her friend.

"Usagi-chan I know what I'm talking about," Taiki hissed at her and Usagi grumbled.

"But I could have sworn you told me it was the other way," she whimpered and Ami leaned over her desk to see what they were working on.

"Why would I tell you it was the…" He trailed off from his scolding of the girl and glanced over his shoulder at the blue haired genius. Usagi looked too and Ami blushed and fell back into her chair embarrassed that she had been caught. Usagi held up her homework for her and Ami glanced at it and then back at them.

"Usagi is right," she replied timidly and Usagi let out a cry of happiness.

"Whoo hoo! I told you!" She said pushing it at him and he grumbled and looked over it.

"You are right Mizuno-san… I am impressed," he mumbled and Ami blushed more, Usagi smiling at her approvingly. Seiya smiled looking back at his work.

"She is so rough with them," a girl hissed behind Makoto and Makoto cleared her throat and turned her ear to the talking girls.

"They all protect her like she is something special…" They hissed and one girl shrugged.

"She is very nice… but so nice to win the heart of Seiya Kou?" She replied and the others shook their head. Makoto looked over at Taiki and Usagi to see Taiki pinch her and she cried out. Makoto giggled.
"They seem to treat her as roughly as she does them," she replied and the four girls behind her blushed and quickly went back to their work.

Usagi jumped happily out of the school building doors and looked at the freedom of sunshine.

"She's unusually happy to get out of school," Makoto giggled and Yaten nodded.

"For a girl who's been tutored for the last three months and able to romp whenever she wants… school is like a prison," Yaten replied as they walked outside into the courtyard.

"Usagi-chan! Are you coming with us to the opening day celebration of Motoki's new shop?" Minako asked linking arms with her and Usagi nodded.

"Of course! I've been wanting to talk to you all day!" She cried looking at them.

"About what?" A voice said and everyone gasped staring at Rei's form. She looked flustered as if she had run all the way there from TA Academy.

"Rei-chan!" Makoto said surprised.

"Oh I got out of school early," she cried secretly catching her breath and then she gasped. "Yaten! Taiki! I didn't know you were back here at Juuban!" She cried with a smile and Minako grinned.

"Right Rei-chan," she hissed and the raven-haired priestess shot her a look then smiled at the other two. Suddenly the third appeared and gently took Usagi's other arm turning her to him.

"Dumpling we have to go practice for tomorrow's concert. Will you come by and see us later?" He asked and she nodded with a smile.

"You can bring your friends…they are always very amusing," Yaten grinned and Taiki nodded as they began on their way out of the schoolyard.

"Arigetish," Seiya smiled down at his love and gently bent down and pressed his lips against hers. Rei gasped and the others looked shocked as he did this loving act. Others in the schoolyard had stopped and silence reigned through the atmosphere as they watched the tender moment. He pulled away and Usagi blushed with a smile.

"Goodbye Seiya!" She cried with a wave as he smiled and joined the others, their forms soon vanishing around the corner. She looked back at her friends and looked confused at their faces. "What?" She asked and Minako was the first to respond as she laughed.

"Oh we are so happy for you!" She cried and Usagi smiled and linked arms with her as they began their way to the Crown Fruit Parlor.

"Konnechiwa!" A voice said and the girls looked up and smiled.

"Haruka-san!" Usagi smiled and ran towards the tall figure. She wrapped her arms around her and Haruka smiled embracing her tenderly. Michiru smiled at the scene and then glanced at the other girls who walked up to them.

"We hope you are not upset at us for last night," she began and Minako shook her head.

"I think we all have known you long enough to understand," she replied and Michiru smiled, nodding her head at the mature answer. Haruka gently squeezed one of Usagi's hair buns and looked down at her with a smile.

"I missed you kitten. We are right in assuming you are here to stay?" She said, raising an eyebrow in question and Usagi sighed linking arms with her as they walked down the road to Motoki's. Haruka and Michiru were dressed in a different uniform then they were as they attended Maouku Tan High, another prep school near Rei's.

"I can't bear leaving all of you again. From now on everywhere I want to go will have to have all of you with me," she smiled and Minako grinned grabbing her other arm.

"That's fine with me!" She cried and Rei nodded.

"Me too!" She cried and Ami smiled.

"Oh I'm so glad all of you are here I have something to tell you…" Usagi suddenly said and drew everyone's attention as they're pace slowed. She sighed annoyed slightly as she spilled the previous events from last night.

"What the-!?" Minako cried, her form stopping as the others did as well at the news.

"Usagi's little sister?" Rei asked a little shocked, as she tried to comprehend the information.

"It can't be, I know my mom didn't have another child…" Usagi sighed and then everyone fell silent seeing a tall frame exit a marketplace. "Hi Mom!" She cried suddenly and the tall women turned and smiled at her, a small child bouncing around her feet and she heard some of her friends gasp behind her.

"Oh Usagi! I was just getting dinner for this evening… Oh my… who is this?" She said and Usagi looked at her curiously and Haruka blushed realizing Usagi was still on her arm. "A boyfriend?" She whispered and Usagi gasped and looked at Haruka and then groaned pulling away from her, the two blushing furiously.

"No mom," she cried through clenched teeth and Chibi-Chibi laughed.

"Boyfriend!" She repeated and Usagi's blush worsened.

"This is Haruka and Michiru-san…" Usagi introduced and the two bowed to the woman. "You know everyone else…" She grumbled and the others smiled, politely exchanging greetings.

"Hello girls," she smiled and then Chibi-Chibi rushed forward attaching herself to Usagi's leg. Usagi looked down alarmed and then sighed when she reached her arms up to be held. The others stared curiously at the child, inspecting her as Usagi pulled her into her arms. Her mother watched this and then smiled.

"Would you mind watching Chibi-Chibi for awhile dear?" She asked and Usagi looked up at her to protest and then her mom smiled. "Thank you!" She cried and rushed off. Usagi sighed and looked at the small girl. Chibi's small hands reached up and grabbed Usagi's face. She bent over and kissed her cheek softly.

"Awe!" Minako cried and Haruka smiled.

"She is so cute!" Rei cried as they all began walking again.

"She looks very much like you Usagi," Michiru observed carefully and Ami nodded.

"Chibi-Usa's little sister perhaps?" Ami tried and the others glanced at the child again.

"Maybe," Usagi mumbled glancing at the girl.

"Maybe Chibi-Usa's daughter," Haruka tried and Usagi growled frustrated as she held the small girl close to her.

"I don't know!" She whined and Minako looked at her and their eyes met.

"So, Chibi-Chibi is your name?" she asked and the girl smiled at her.

"Is your name?" Chibi-Chibi repeated and Minako gasped.

"Copycat!" She cried and Usagi sighed.

"Copycat!" Chibi-Chibi giggled.

"What a brat…" Minako spat crossing her arms across her chest as they finally approached Juuban district where Motoki's shop was.

"What a brat..." Chibi-Chibi repeated and Usagi sighed.

"Whatever you ask her," Usagi said, "that's what she does. Just like when Chibi-Usa came, this could be telling of a crisis to come," she mumbled and Ami glanced at her and smiled, impressed that Usagi had said such a thing, Haruka and Michiru taking notice as well.

"Crisis to come!" Chibi-Chibi cried excitedly.

"Could Chibi-Usa have sent back her little sister, thinking that Ikuko-mama and Usagi would be lonely?" Minako asked as they walked up to the Crown Fruit Parlor. Haruka opened the door and the girls all stepped inside

"Or maybe after hearing all of her big sister's exciting stories, she came here by herself," Makoto tried and the others shrugged.

"Oh wow!" Usagi cried looking at the renovations and then at all of the people, inside ordering and laughing. Suddenly a blonde caught their entrance and called.

"Usagi! I was waiting for you girls to come!" He cried quickly ducking under the counter and appearing on the other side, all of his workers taking over. He walked to them and stopped seeing the strange child in Usagi's arms. "Who's this? Your sister?" He asked and Usagi looked at the girl and then nodded.

"Chibi-Chibi," Usagi replied and Motoki smiled at them.

"I've saved your booth for you. Go ahead and order anything you want. My treat today on celebration of Usagi's return," he grinned and Usagi's eyes went wide and she squealed excitedly as she headed to their usual spot. Rei and Minako smiled thankfully as they headed that way too. Each girl giving a greeting and Haruka and Michiru a gentle nod in passing. Motoki smiled and then returned to his counter and the phone began to ring. He grinned grabbing it off of the wall hook and putting it to his ear.

"Crown Fruit Parlor, Motoki here," he said into it and then he silenced hearing nothing on the other end. Suddenly a voice cleared its throat and spoke hesitantly.

"Hello Motoki… You don't know me I am a friend of Chiba Mamoru's," he said in broken Japanese and Motoki stopped and listened curiously. "I was his roommate in America and I'm sorry I didn't call you sooner and tell you everything that has been happening. I finally found your number today and thought I would fill you in," he began, his voice nervous and Motoki was beginning to get annoyed.

"Fill me in on what?" He asked, concern coming into his mind for his best friend.

"Two months ago Mamoru-san was in a terrible car accident," he began and Motoki's eyes widened. "He survived and nothing was broken but he completely lost his memory… he was laid up in the hospital for about a month," the man continued and Motoki gasped.

"How could you not tell me that?" He cried shocked and the man sighed.

"I'm sorry… none of us had your number and we didn't really think Mamoru had that many close friends. He was always such a loner," he tried in his defense and Motoki let out a breath.

"Is he all right?" He asked, worry in his voice and the man stuttered an affirmative.

"Yes, he is actually perfectly fine… we can't even explain what happened. One morning he just woke up and had all of his memories… That was last week. He quickly began to pack his things and ended his program. He kept muttering about the Moon and Earth and Senshi… I'm not even sure what that word is… I fear he may have lost his marbles but he is completely different then what I knew him," the man mumbled and Motoki's mouth dropped slightly. He stared at the clock and then back at the phone. "I'm calling you to tell you he is arriving there this evening and I wanted you to know what had been happening so you could be prepared if there is something wrong with him…" He said and Motoki quickly hung up the phone.

"Thank you…" He mumbled into the air and then his eyes glanced up at the last photo on the wall of a man in a tuxedo and he gulped as his eyes traveled to the far booth where laughter was coming from.

Eek! It's so exciting! I love the joy of a fresh new story!
Let me know what you think while I prep the next chapter ;) I have to read it myself to make sure it's any good.

Have a wonderful week!
