Chapter 1: Reenie Meets Her Court Hello, everyone!!! Chibi-Mamoru Darien Chiba here. This is my third fanfic and I'm very excited about it. I really want to get into it, but first there's a little business to take care of first: 1. The Sailor Scouts and their alternate identities, friends, and family are not mine. They are the brainchild- ren of a brilliant and powerful Japanese lady known as Takeuchi Naoko. If it weren't for her, the many Sailor Moon fanfics that are posted in various archives located on the Internet would not exist. Arigatou, Naoko-sama. (deep Japanese bow) 2. I seek no income from this. My only motive for writing this is pleasure for me as I write it and pleasure for anyone who opts to read this story. 3. The names and personalities of the Sailor Scouts' daughters with the exception of Reenie and the fathers of the Outers' children are MINE!!! Ask me before you use them; I may have some information that will help you use them properly. On with the story!! ***************************************************************************** It's July 3, 2996 in my home city of Crystal Tokyo at 5 am. I just turned seven three days ago. I'm planning on playing with my birthday gifts today. I hear a rhythmic clump-clump outside my chamber. It gets louder and louder and then stops. "Top of the morning to you, Teenie Reenie," a masculine voice whispered in my ear. I turn over and open an eye. I find my dad King Endymion standing over me dressed up in a tuxedo and a ways away from being dressed. "Daddy, it's half past five in the morning!!" I complained. "I'm a growing kid who needs her rest." I then fall back to sleep, expecting Endymion to leave it at that and go away. The next thing I know, I'm ripped from my sleep to find myself waterlogged!!!! "I'll expect you dried off and dressed for breakfast in fifteen minutes, young lady," Endymion scowled at me as he turns and leaves, throwing the bucket down which crashes to the floor loudly. "Come on, princess," a maid told me as she takes me by the hand. "Let's get you ready as per your parents' will." I then go through a ritual of being bathed and dried. Then my pink hair is combed and put in the twin pigtail hair- style that my grandma Queen Serenity of the Moon Kingdom and my mom Neo-Queen Serenity wear. I then choose a red and white sailor blouse and black pants. I then trek off to breakfast. After walking for five minutes, I realize that I'll never make it to breakfast in time with my short legs. Luckily, Andrew, my dad's best friend, comes along. I ask him to give me a piggyback ride to breakfast. I like Andrew because he's nice and helps me find the words to initiate discussions about matters that bother me without offending my parents (i. e. being made to wake up at half past five this morning). Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion are sticklers for respect and they have either lectured me, washed my mouth out with soap, or spanked me for interrupting them, cursing, speaking out of turn at public events, and other things. They basically don't allow me to get away with too much here in Crystal Tokyo. "Hey, Andrew, do you know what the hub-bub is all about?" I asked. "You're going to meet your court today, flamingo head," Andrew told me. Andrew is the only one I let get away with calling me 'flamingo head' because the way he says it doesn't offend me like the other people who have used the term and there's a tone of affection present that I really like. He also doesn't abuse the term by applying it to me everytime we meet. "But wait a minute, I thought I already had a court, Andrew," I replied. "Up until now, I have always thought that Mina Aino, Raye Hino, Lita Kino, Amy Mizuno, Sharon Setsuna Mei'ou, Michelle Michiru Kai'oh, Alexandria Haruka Ten'oh, and Christine Hotaru Tomoe are my court." "No, Reenie, they're your mother's court," Andrew said, shaking his head. "They won't obey you unless directed by your mother. Your mother was just loaning her court to you until you get one of your own which happens today." "Huh?" I asked, not able to grasp what's going on. "Don't worry, little lady," Andrew promised me. "Your mother will explain it all to you when we get to breakfast." Andrew then carries me to breakfast. Neo- Queen Serenity looks up from her breakfast and scowls at me for my tardiness. "Your father told me you had a hard time getting up and at 'em this morning, Small Lady," Serenity scowled at me. "I expect better from you in the days that follow." Serenity then goes back to eating. As a result of my tardiness, I miss out on getting the generous portions Serenity and I like getting every morning, but hey, there's enough to provide an adequate meal so I shouldn't complain. After breakfast, Serenity gives me a good tongue lashing for being behind schedule and for the informal outfit I wore to breakfast. "Mommy!!" I protested. "I'm seven years old. I should be able to wear what I want to." "We are having company today, Reenie," Serenity stated firmly, "and you *will* look presentable or you will be punished. Go change." "Bitch," I grumbled under my breath as I head off to my quarters. "Have something to say to me?" Serenity growled at me as she grabs my arm. I'm shocked; I didn't even see her walk up on me. I could feel my left hand starting to tingle because Serenity is applying so much pressure to my brachial artery and cutting off the blood flow to my arm. "I'll get changed right away, your majesty," I promised Serenity. She releases me and turns down a side corridor. I flick her off and then head to my own room. Even though I don't have the courage to say it out loud, Neo-Queen Serenity is a major bitch!!! Someone somewhere was drunk when they picked whose egg and sperm united to create me. Yeah, so I'm using medical terms; I'm only seven and Amy makes me read a lot. Sheeeeeesh!!!!! Several hours later, I hear the trumpets. Oh, God!! I hurry to the the throne room as fast as I can without tripping, ripping my long white dress, or getting sweaty. Andrew shows me a shortcut and using it, I beat the reporters and our guests into the throne room. "Hiya, Reenie," Serenity smiled as she pats the chair between the thrones, indicating me to seat myself. "Park it." "Glad you could make it," Endymion grinned at me. "Nervous?" "Yeah, Daddy," I replied. "Don't be, Reenie," Endymion continued. "You'll do fine. This will be a good experience for you. If it's any consolation to you, everyone is just as nervous as you are. Just relax and everything will be okay." Endymion nods and a crowd of reporters and photographers flood the room snapping photographs, filming the whole event, and asking questions. "Welcome, everyone!!" Serenity greeted the crowd, rising from her throne. The crowd kneels in respect. "Rise. Today is the day that my daughter Neo-Princess Serenity, better known as Reenie, meets her future court. I'm excited and I'm sure all of you are. I sincerely hope that no one here is disappointed. Before we can get underway, I must ask that you all shift to my right. This is so everyone can get a good photo opportunity at the end." The photographers and reporters do as they're told and Serenity returns to her seat. Amy Mizuno and her husband Greg Ryo are the first to walk out. Greg and Amy look around and realize that they're missing someone. "Daughter problems?" Serenity asks Amy. "Yes, Hermione didn't want to come and has done everything in her power to sabotage us," Amy sighed as she watches her daughter, a girl with long dark blue hair and dark gray eyes, sneak through the crowd of reporters and photographers. Greg spots and grabs Hermione. "Greg, get your mangy claws off of me!!" Hermione screamed as she struggles out of her father's grasp. Offended, Greg heads down south and gives Hermione several swats. "I am your father, young lady!!" Greg growled at Hermione. "You *will* NOT embarrass your mother and me by any means!!! Is that understood?!?!" A frightened Hermione nods her head, composes herself, and walks toward me with her right hand outstretched. "You must be Reenie," Hermione said in a very apathetic tone of voice. I stand up and shake her hand. "I am Hermione Mizuno and I am in training as Sailor Mercury." "Nice to meet you, Hermione," I said. I turn to Serenity and whisper in her ear, "Is Hermione always this cold, Mommy? I don't know if I want her in my court." "Hermione's behavior and her being on your court are not things you have a lot of control over, Reenie," Serenity whispered back. "We'll discuss your thoughts about your future court later." "But, Mommy . . .," I protested. "I said later," Serenity told me, holding up a hand. Dejected that I did not get the final say, I let the issue drop for now so that I can meet the next member of my court. A blond headed girl with orange eyes strides out followed by Mina Aino and her husband Alan. "Hiya, Serenity, Endymion, Reenie," the girl said. "What's shaking?" "That's King Endymion to you, young lady," Endymion scowled at the girl. "I would like to be called Neo-Queen Serenity," Serenity told the girl, trying to hide her offense. "What are you called?" "You're asking me what my handle is?" the girl responded. "I'm Cara Aino and I am in training as Sailor Venus." "I like her," I said of Cara. "She's a swinging cat." "Shut up, Reenie!!" Serenity snapped at me. "Daddy, what's wrong with Mommy?" I asked Endymion. "Cara's informality is getting to her," Endymion told me. "Mina, Alan, you have a nice daughter, but the Queen is offended by her informal courtside manner." "I apologize, your majesty," Alan apologized to Endymion. "Mina and I have been working with Cara to curb that. I can see that we have a lot of work to do and that she has already had an impact on your daughter." "I dig Cara, Daddy-o," I told Endymion. "Yeah, I'm sorry about Cara's conduct, Serenity," Mina said, "but Reenie likes her and this is *her* court. Relatively speaking, Cara is a welcome relief from that gray-eyed brat of Greg and Amy's." "We heard that, Mina Aino!!!" the Mizunoes shouted from across the room. "Mina, we're not here to comment on other people's kids," Alan said lifelessly. "Yeah, Mrs. Aino," a girl with long unstyled reddish-brown hair and deep red eyes agreed as she stalks into the chamber with her parents Raye Hino and Chad Kumada. "How dare you focus on the splinter of the Mizunoes and ignore the plank sticking out of your own eye!!" "Thanks a heap, Ariadne," Hermione cheered. "Your majesties, this is my best friend Ariadne Hino." "I'm going to be the next Sailor Mars," Ariadne said as she approaches the thrones. I rise and shake Ariadne's hand. "Nice to meet you, Reenie." I return the compliment and Lita and Ken Kino parade in with a yellowish-green eyed girl with her long brown hair in a ponytail secured by a green ribbon. This girl is so big in relation to her age I could feel goosebumps all over my body. I don't mean fat, just big. I wouldn't want to get into a fight with her. "Well, hello, my epic friend," I said to the girl. "I'm Reenie. What do they call you?" The girl jumps at my forwardness and hides behind her parents. A few moments pass while Lita gives her shy daughter some words of encouragement. "I am . . . Clotilda Kino, Reenie," the girl finally said, blushing. "I will someday succeed my mother as Sailor Jupiter." I have a feeling that the bullies at school will want to leave me alone when they find out that I am friends with a big girl like Clotilda. I shake hands with Clotilda and the next family makes my heart skip a beat. "Hiya, Reenie!!" a small woman with purple eyes and short black hair cried out. "Christine!!!" I cried out to the woman as I leap down the stairs and scurry to hug the woman. "I thought I would never see you again!! You look great!!" "How have you been?" Christine Hotaru Tomoe asked me. I couldn't help crying. "Reenie, why are you crying?" "I'm just so glad to see you, Chris," I told Christine who gets out a handkerchief and wipes my eyes. "Blow, Reenie," Christine told me. After I blow my nose, I feel much better that I am able to get a good breath. "Feel better?" I nod. "I'm glad," Christine smiles at me, "but," Christine's smile turns to a frown, "now I have three words for you: get a grip!!! This is not the first time you're going to meet someone new and it will not be the last. Just hold it together for a little while longer. Not counting my daughter, you have three more court members to meet. Remember, Reenie, keep a stiff upper lip." Now those were strong words, but I know that Christine said them to me because I needed to hear it and because she loves me. "Christine Hotaru Tomoe, how nice to see you," Serenity called. Christine and I look at each other realizing that Serenity is just as ecstatic as I am to see Christine if not more. "We have got to catch up on old times sometime." "Well, I haven't really been doing much," Christine told Serenity and me, "but I have a great husband who is helping me raise a exquisite little girl. Zaccheus, Cleopatra, come on out here!!" A tall and very muscular man and a pale 5' 1" girl with her right eye purple like her mother and and her left eye blue like her father and shoulder-blade length purplish black hair come forward. "Come on, ladies, give it up!!" Zaccheus laughed as he does a brief show of posing. At the end, all the ladies clap, with Serenity, Cleopatra, and Christine clapping the loudest. Zaccheus smiles and hefts Cleopatra and then Christine over his head. After doing a brief juggling act with the two most important women in his life, Zaccheus takes a bow. "Humph!! My dad thinks he's all that and a bag of chips," Cleopatra scowled at Zaccheus. "Reenie, my mom has said a lot about you and now I finally get to meet you!!! My parents named me Cleopatra Tomoe, but you can call me Cleo if my name gets to be too much for you. My mom's looking to dump her Sailor Saturn powers on me, but I don't want to be able to destroy whole worlds because of what can happen if raw power like that were to fall into enemy hands." Everyone who knows the story behind Crystal Tokyo falls silent knowing that Cleopatra is telling the truth. Silence abounds as a response to assure Cleopatra is devised. Even though she knows very well the fears that Cleopatra has expressed, Christine could not think of anything to say to allay her daughter's fears but would not allow her to suffer alone, so she hugs Cleopatra. Zaccheus escorts his wife and daughter out of the room. "Mommy, that was heavy," I told Serenity. "Yeah, it was," Serenity agreed with me. "I feel sorry for poor Cleopatra." "Include Sharon and her daughter on that list," Endymion said. "Sharon has to control the Time Gate to make certain no one messes with time. To do that job, she had to basically give up her social humanity. No lovers or children. What kind of life is that to pass on to your kid?" "Not a very good one, Daddy," I remarked. "I didn't want an answer to that, flamingo head," Endymion scolded me playfully. "Don't call me that, Daddy," I pouted to Endymion. "I hate that nickname!!" "Get used to hearing it, Reenie," Serenity smiled. "Most kids will call you that when they first meet you. And sometimes your father and I will call you that in fun just to get a rise out of you." "You're mean!!" I yelled at my parents. Serenity and Endymion look at each other and smile figuring that I was paying them a compliment. "Good, then your father and I are doing our job correctly," Serenity laughed at me. "Reenie, you know that we're not deliberately trying to be mean to you. Don't ya?" I glance at Serenity and at Endymion and then leap up from my throne and stomp out of the chamber. "Hiya, Rabbit," a tall beefy girl with tawny blond boyishly cut hair greeted me. "That's not nice, young lady," Alexandria Haruka Ten'oh corrected the girl, shaking her head. "Sorry, Mom," the girl apologized to Alex. "You must be Alex's kid," I told the girl, ignoring her offensive use of the term 'rabbit'. "I'm Reenie." "Yeah, I'm Cecelia Ten'oh," the girl said as she offers her hand. "I'm going to be the new Sailor Uranus." "Nice to meet you, Cecelia," I said as I shake hands with Cecelia. "Don't call me 'rabbit' or 'flamingo head.' I hate those nicknames." Cecelia grins and brings forward a girl that's four and a half feet tall and has dark green eyes and long bluish-green hair. "Who's your friend, Cecelia?" "That is my daughter, Reenie," Michelle Michiru Kai'oh said, pointing to the girl standing beside Cecelia. "Say hello, Irvette." Irvette hides behind Michelle. "Mommy, I . . . don't want . . . to," Irvette told Michelle in a small voice. "Irma Kai'oh, you will do as your mother tells you!!" a tall brown-haired man bellowed at Irvette who reluctantly steps out from behind Michelle. In a gentler voice, the man urges Irvette, "Go on. Shake hands with Reenie." Irvette creeps toward me and I extend my hand. Irvette shakes my hand and then looks at the man as if to ask why she's being made to do this. "That girl is shy just like her mother," the man remarks of Irvette to me as he shakes my hand. "I am Griffith MacGrinrun, the father of Irvette Kai'oh and Cecelia Ten'oh. I promise that these girls will be as per your expectations as your friends and as your allies in combat." "My shy sister will be the future Sailor Neptune, Reenie," Cecelia said of Irvette. "Hold it!!" I groaned, holding up a hand. I'm beginning to get a headache from this. "Cecelia, you're the daughter of Alex Ten'oh, right?" "Yes, Reenie, Alex is my mother," Cecelia replied. "And, Irvette, you are Michelle's daughter, right?" I asked. "Yes, I am, Reenie," Irvette said quietly. "And you say that you're sisters," I continued. "Griffith, you say that you're the father of both girls. Well, how can that be? The last time I looked up the word 'sister' in the dictionary, it defined the term as a girl or woman who has the same two parents as the other biological children of the same parentage. There are three of you. So what's the deal?" "Reenie, you're thinking of full sisters," Griffith explained, "which Irvette and Cecelia are not because they are born of different mothers. They're half sisters." What a strange case, that trio . . . "Mr. MacGrinrun, why did you call Irvette 'Irma'?" I asked Griffith. "It's a long story, Reenie," Griffith replied as he leads his daughters into the throne room. "Guess who!!" a familiar voice smiled. I try to turn around but find that my eyes are covered by someone's hands. "Puu?" I guessed. "Close, Small Lady," the voice laughed as its maker takes her hands off my eyes. "It's me, Sharon Setsuna Mei'ou!!!" I reach up and bear-hug Sharon. "How are you doing, Reenie?" Sharon asks me as she stands up and lifts me. "Mommy and Daddy were teasing me!!" I complained with a pout. "Oh, is that so?" Sharon remarked, patting me on the rear end. "Well, that was mean of them. What did they call you? Flamingo head?" "Don't call me that!!" I complained to Sharon as I grab a nearby strand of hair and yank on it. "Ow ow ow!! That hurts, Reenie!!" Sharon yelped as she holds me at arm length in an attempt to get me to release the strand of greenish-black hair I'm holding. "Reenie, let go of my hair!!!" Satisfied that Sharon had been punished enough, I release her hair and she carries me into the main chamber. "Endymion, Serenity, I think you went a little too far with teasing Reenie," Sharon says as she sets me down. "Can't you see how hurt she is?" "Endymion, we did kinda go overboard earlier," Serenity admitted. "Sorry about calling you 'flamingo head,' Teenie Reenie," Endymion apologized as he takes me from Sharon. I giggle at the words 'Teenie Reenie.' "I think everything's forgiven." "I'm delighted at that news," Sharon smiled as she escorts in a tall man with black hair and a short 4' 10" girl with her left eye red like her mother's and the right eye dark green like her father and long unstyled black hair. "Reenie, I would like you to meet my husband Kerwin and my daughter Claribel." "Hello, your majesties and your royal highness," Claribel greeted my parents and me as she curtsies. "I hope to serve you well in the future as Sailor Pluto." "Well, Reenie, everyone in your new court has introduced herself," Endymion said. "Go over and have your picture taken with your new court." I groan inwardly and assemble with the other girls in the half of the room to my left. After what seems like a thousand photos are taken, the photographers then direct me to get close to each of the new members of my court and 'make friendly-like.' Yeah, like I'm going to put my arm around someone I just met or let that be done to me. Doing the shot of Hermione Mizuno and me is the hardest thing I have ever done. I just met Hermione and I hate her already!! I don't detect any of the warmth that I'm feeling from the other girls, especially Ariadne Hino and Cara Aino who are putting it out in huge amounts as if they were covering for the others. After those photos are taken, I later tell my parents what I think of my court, starting with Hermione. "Serenity Usagi Chiba, how dare you!!" Serenity snarled at me as she hits me on the head with her hairbrush. "But, Mommy, you saw Hermione!!! She hates me!!!" I protested as I nurse the just-received welp on my head. "Remember how she acted when she arrived and how she introduced herself to me. I hate her!!!" "We *do* NOT HATE people in Crystal Tokyo, young lady!!!!" Serenity barked at me as she whips me around and swats me on my rear end with her hairbrush. "It took a lot of my energy to cleanse the Earth of all evil so that I could create Crystal Tokyo and give you and everyone else a good life!!! I almost died, Reenie!!! Don't you have any appreciation for what I have done?!!?" Serenity then jumps up and storms out of the room. A loud slam of the door announces her departure. "Daddy, when was the last time Mommy was a raging volcano like this?" I asked Endymion. "I remember that your mother and I have had fights when we were younger and stopped speaking to each other for months at a time, Reenie," Endymion said. "You really hurt your mom by saying that you hated Hermione. You just met her today!! For all you know, Hermione could be a nice, smart person like her parents. Look deeper, Small Lady. I have a feeling that Hermione was not at her best today and that she is better bred than she let on when you met her. Greg and Amy are good people and the influence of good people tends to be contagious." "She could have fooled me," I told Endymion. "Like you said, I just met her today. But what about Mommy?" "She'll calm down after a little while, Reenie," Endymion assured me. "What do you think of the other members of your court?" "I really like Cara Aino, Daddy," I told Endymion. "I can sense that she and I are going to be good friends and that I'm going to enjoy hanging out with her." "I think Cara is a good kid, but she needs to learn more respect for her elders," Endymion remarked. "I'm glad you found yourself a friend. What about . . . Clotilda Kino?" "Clotilda frightens me, Daddy," I said. "Thank God that she is as afraid of herself as I am of her." "Clotilda just needs help in developing her self- image and self-esteem, Reenie," Endymion said. "She is a very nice girl, though. I liked the way you introduced yourself and made her feel welcome today." "Thanks," I beamed. "But I find four of my court members very unusual: Cecelia Ten'oh, Irvette Kai'oh, Claribel Mei'ou, and Cleopatra Tomoe. I feel weird around them." "Why is that?" Endymion asked me. "Wait, let's start with Cecelia and Irvette. What do you find unusual about them?" "The fact that Cecelia and Irvette have the same dad but different moms, Daddy," I replied. "I don't think I want anything to do with them." "Reenie, that's not a very nice thing to say," Endymion scolded. "You barely know them!! How would you like it if everyone stayed away from you because you have pink hair and wear it as if you were a rabbit?" This gets my attention in a hurry. I had not thought about how it would feel to be the target of someone else's prejudice. "I wouldn't like it at all," I whispered in a small voice as I crawl up onto Endymion's lap and cry silently into his pajamas. "Reenie, why are you crying?" Endymion asked compassionately as he presses me close to him. "All I'm trying to do is to get you to see how prejudiced your remarks are and how prejudice hurts. Everyone is different, Reenie. Treating anyone differently because of differences like race, creed, religion, etc. is morally wrong and harmful to everyone involved. Hatred can make those under its power do very evil things. Take the Holocaust of World War II for example. 10 million people wiped out, most of them Jews. Imagine that, 6 million Jews stripped naked and their heads shaved and then being gassed or worked very hard having been fed very little food and then cremated when they're unable to do any more work." As Endymion was talking, he is making sure to hold me tightly and control his anger so that he talks to me instead of at me. "It sounds like you just gave Reenie something to think about," Serenity whispered as she sits down beside Endymion. "Yeah, I sure did, Serenity," Endymion said as he strokes me trying to get me to calm down. "I was appalled when that 4-letter h-word came out of Reenie's mouth." "Not as aghast as I was, Endymion," Serenity replied. "I never thought that our daughter who hasn't even been in the world ten years could hate anyone." Serenity pauses and frowns as if trying to remember something. "Um, Reenie, I forgot to tell you," Serenity sighs, "that it is the law of the Moon Kingdom that in seven days after meeting your court, you will have to fight a duel with each member of your court before you can assume command." Now it's my turn to be aghast and angry. "Mommy, *just* WHEN were you planning on telling me this?!!?" I snarled at Serenity. "This morning at breakfast," Serenity replied, ignoring my rude outburst. "If you had been on time." "I'm not going to fight my court!!" I refused as I leap down out of Endymion's lap. "Yes, you will, Reenie," Serenity said. "You have three bloodlines and one of them is of the Moon." "Get a clue, Mommy!!" I barked at Serenity. "The Moon Kingdom no longer exists!! Beryl wiped it out!! So therefore that law should not apply." Serenity slowly rises, walks over to me, and shoves me to the ground. "What are your three bloodlines?" Serenity asked me. I try to get back on my feet, but Serenity stops me. "No, tell me from there. What are your three bloodlines?" "The Sun, Earth and Moon Kingdoms," I replied. "Now you may get up," Serenity said to me as she backs off, allowing me to get to my feet. "You're right about the Moon Kingdom no longer existing . . . in a physical sense. But the Moon Kingdom culture still exists in me and in my court and that law is an item of culture. As long as the Moon Kingdom culture is being passed down from generation to generation, the Moon Kingdom will always exist, Reenie. Please fight those duels. If not for yourself, do it for Mommy. Please." "Reenie and I were discussing what we thought of her new court, Serenity," Endymion said, trying to change the subject. Endymion then gives Serenity a digest of our discussions thus far. Serenity raises an eyebrow in disbelief. "My, my, your highness, you've done a lot of thinking," Serenity remarked to me. "What are your thoughts on Claribel and Cleopatra?" "I find it weird that Claribel and Cleopatra have eyes that are two different colors," I told Serenity, "but I feel that I can grow to like them and be good friends with them just like you are with their mothers." "Now *that* sounds like my little girl!!" Serenity exclaimed as she picks me up and kisses me. "You see, Reenie, if you keep an open mind, you'll discover a lot more about people you might not have seen if you hadn't. Most people prove to be kind and friendly if given a chance to express themselves. Never forget that!!!" And on that note, I retire to my chambers very tired. I lay awake wondering how the hell I'm going to pull off these duels. My powers as Sailor Moon right now don't exactly leave evil shaking in its boots. Sailor Mercury's powers are only a little stronger than mine and are used for defense unlike the others which are used for offense. Unless I have help, I'm going to get my ass kicked!!!! THE END So what do you think so far? What do you think Reenie is going to do next? If *you* were Reenie, what would you do? How would you help Reenie if you were the help that she was talking about?
