Email: Bubble9244@aol.com Title: Sailor Meteor?! (Part Two) Name: ChibiVenus ::Put all disclaimers here:: Sorry if my style has changed a bit, along with the characters. I sort of yelled at myself for doing a rotten job on Part One. So the characters have changed, Heather is even more like Usagi, smart-and-dignified style. Mileena is now named Kitana, who IS named for a character in Mortal Kombat, I sorta like that game. Kitana is more like Diana, more like a kitten. She still half-orders Heather around, but she's lost the Luna type and gained a type like Heather, leader-style. The Sailorpluto in here is actually like the actual one, but more friendly, but still, she'll do anything to protect the future and timeline. Pretty much, those are the only main characters here. There are supporting characters, but I'm not saying anything about those. _____________________________________________________ "NO WAY! I AM ROYALTY! WOO-HOO! Just THINK about it, Kitana, ME, ME, Diedra, ROYALTY! YEAH!!!!" Diedra screamed. "Diedra, or we'll call you Heather from now on, since that was your REAL name, and don't get THAT excited. You must still train much before we are going to be able to take you home, to your TRUE home," Kitana said proudly. "THIS is my home! Like I'd like, live somewhere else," she commented. "I'd hate to burst your bubble, Miss, but you were supposed to live in Tokyo, along with--" "Along with whom? C'mon, spill the beans Kitana," Diedra said. "I am not at liberty to say. I'd tell you if I could, Diedra, but I can't. Not until you are a fully trained Senshi," said Kitana. "What's with the word 'senshi?'" "That means soldier, hey! You're supposed to know Japanese!" "I do. Just testing," she said slyly. "Now, first you'll need to learn the strength of your powers. WaiT! Before that you need to know how to transform. To transform, you Wait! You need your special necklace before you can transform!" Kitana said fretfully. She did a backflip in the air, something regular cats can definately NOT do, and she produced a thin gold chain with a star charm on it. "Never lose this Diedra. It's how you transform. You don't have a-" "I don't have a what?!" "I'll tell you after we arrive in Tokyo. Fair enough?" "Yes. Now back to that transforming business..." "Ahhh. Yes. When you want to transform, you simply touch your star charm and shout 'Sailor Meteor Transform!' The others--" "The others what Kitana!?" "I keep on slipping up. I'll need to work on that. Try transforming." "SAILOR METEOR TRANSFORM!" Diedra disapeared, but reappeared in a moment in her Sailor fuku. "Wow. You look great!" Her fuku was pretty much the same as every- one else's, but the skirt and bows were like her natural hair color, the colors varying from green to purple. Another shock to Diedra was her hair. It had taken on its normal color. And instead of a little choker on her neck, she had her necklace, which hung a little bit above her bow. And her boots, similar to Sailor Moon's and Mercury's, were varying from green to purple. "Kitana how'd my hair get purple and green again?" "It's its natural color of course. I suggest you keep it that color for when we go to Tokyo. Because not everyone has tamed colors like in the U.S. I know someone with green hair and she is VERY beautiful. Keep the color. It makes the outfit. I KNOW these things," "Yeah right Kitana. Green hair? You must be from the 30th century or something," "As a matter of fact, I am," Kitana said proudly. "I don't believe it! How can you travel through time? It just can't be done!" "Speak for yourself! You can too travel through time with the help of-" "With the help of who? And stop calling me Miss, please!" "The help of an ally. I better tell you about Her, the Guar- dian of the Gate of Time before we go any further." "Who IS the Guardian of The Gate of Time?" "Sailor Pluto of course. You won't see her much at all because she is guarding the gates of time. I have been in the 20th century for five years looking for you. I was about to go back and call myself a complete failure when I found you. We have to go back to the 30th century and show you to to my mom and dad, who are going to make sure you are the one. I'm almost positive, but sometimes I'm not correct," "So you're saying I'm not the person you're looking for?" "Well, I think you are, because I only know of one person who has such stunning natural hair color." "Let's go then! I want to meet this Pluto character anyway. I wonder if she's a workaholic...." "All senshi are workaholics. I would be astounded if you aren't." "So you're saying I'll never be an actress? I'll never lead a nor- mal life? This senshi business is getting on my nerves." "We're going now Heather." "HEY! Why are you calling me Heather? My name is Diedra!" "We are going to call you Heather. It's your *real* name. We're getting it changed. I don't care what your parents say, tell them you want to change your name. I'm sorry, but you need to get your actual name changed!" "But I don't wanna get my name changed! I'm known at my school by my name and that's like the way I signature my songs!" "Heather?! You write songs?" "Yeah, I do it in my free time, what little of it I have. I even know some kids at school who love my songs. I perform around once a month, and I have this wild outfit, it's like hippie stuff, tie- dyed bell bottoms, a belly shirt, and I love it!" "What stuff do you sing?" "I write songs, and also sing other songs by pop groups. I have a group of my own, The Cheerleaders. It's just something we call ourselves, and to gigs we all wear ditzy blonde wigs or we temporarily dye it. I have a whole bunch of it, and it comes out when you wash your hair. And then we wear these little, tiny pleated skirts and we look like cheerleaders. But sometimes I just sang with a friend......." Heather's eyes started getting misty and she just sighed. "Lemme guess..........it was a guy." "Yea, it was. He was really really nice, but we were just friends. I never wanted more than that until the day he left for Japan. I have a picture of Nick here somewhere..." Heather rummaged all over her cluttery and messy room. "Here it is!" she pulled out a picture and held it out to Kitana. "That's.........That's............Someone from your past. I don't know and more, I only know that because of the information I was given about you. We'd better show this to Sailorpluto when we go. And we're going soon, okay?" "HELLO! We're going NOW! I have a plane to catch in five hours," Heather yelled. "Where are you going?" "Tokyo. We're moving. NOW HUSTLE!" "I'm coming!" "Of course you're coming! You're getting us there!" Heather giggled. Kitana mumbled something and when Heather looked they were in a weird place. A girl with long dark green hair came to greet them. "Kitana, I thought the rule was you weren't allowed to bring anyone from the past to the future," she said, a bit aggravated. "But Mother and Father said to bring the girl back once I've found her," Kitana said, obviously afraid. "Fine. But if I find out the information you have told me is false, well I don't even know what'll happen. What's your name, Miss?" "Heather," she said, her knees knocking. "What is that you have in youre hand?" Sailorpluto asked, even though she knew. "It's a picture of some guy I knew. Kitana says he's from my past. Is he?" "Well," Sailorpluto said, eyeing the picture carefully with a small, almost invisible smile on her face. "I think I know who this is. It's someone whose name was Devin a long, long, time ago. I'll revive your memories from the Moon Kingdom, but be careful! You'll see memories of happiness along with memories of hurt and hatred. You sure you want to know?" "Umm.....Yea. I guess." "Okay. Here goes." Sailorpluto waved her Garnet Orb and all of a sudden, Heather knew. She knew all the pain and hatred that happened, long, long ago. She knew what it felt like to see her fellow senshi dead. She knew where she originally was born. Images of each deceaced senshi flew into her mind, then she was crying. And she saw the outer senshi, of whom she was also a part of, come up from behind, their just as forlorn and lost. They both hugged her, knowing that she was closer to them than themselves. After they released Hotaru, who felt maybe even more pain than all three, hugged Sailor Meteor. "I failed," she thought. "I'm supposed to solve problems, not make them. I could've caused the fall of the Moon Kingdom. I'll never forgive myself. I can't," her past self thought. All the memories were hurting her, killing her inside. "I'm not even putting out my bubbly exterior. I am really sad about this. I wonder if they know about me," she thought. Heather shivered at the thought that she may have made the fall of the Moon Kingdom. "I'm going to have to ask Sailorpluto about this. She was pretty nice, but obviously all she does is guard the gate of Time. She needs to have some fun. The trip to the thirtieth century wasn't that bad after all.........." When Heather blinked her eyes for the second time, they were in a totally different place. "Is this the thirtieth century?" Heather thought. This place is Weird with a capital W. "Welcome to my home Heather. We're only going to be here a little while, but follow me to my room, as you may want to sit down." "How'd you guess," Heather asked. "Just lucky, I suppose," Kitana answered. She walked through the halls, amazed at what was in them. "Wow," Heather whispered. When she walked into Kitana's room she thought it should be for two cats, not one. There were these adorable little beds, two of them, and a chair for a person, well, maybe a cat if the cat wanted to curl up. She sat down on the chair and a girl with pink hair walked into the room. "WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE? THIS IS KITANA'S ROOM! AND DIANA'S TOO! HEY! YOU DON'T EVEN BELONG HERE! YOU ARE GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE FOR IMPERSONATING A SAILOR SCOUT! I'M TELLING MOTHER!" You guessed it. It was...Chibi-Usa! "Whoa Kitana! Who IS that girl! She sure has a mouth!" Heather said. "I'd speak better of her if I were you! She is the Princess!" "No way! That means she is the DAUGHTER OF NEO-QUEEN SERENITY! And, from my brain that can give me bits and pieces of information I wanna know, Neo-Queen Serenity is...............SAILOR MOON?! NO WAY! And Sailor Moon is..........Tsukino Usagi! Talk about twisted!" Heather exclaimed. "I never knew you could find out mentally what you wanted to know!" "Yep! Not always, but a lot of the time. Tsukino Usagi is such a klutz! Whoa!" "Well, here comes Neo-Queen Serenity Sailor Meteor! Do not blow this!" "Kitana, who is this?" the Queen asked. "This is Sailor Meteor of the Past. Sailor Pluto has allowed us to come so I may show her to my parents. They have told me to bring anyone who I think is Sailor Meteor, for me to bring them to the future, My Queen." "Luna and Artemis! Arrive immediately!" the Queen ordered. "Yes my Queen," they both answered in synch. "Luna, Artemis, parents of Kitana, have you ordered Kitana to bring any girl who she thinks is Sailormeteor to the Future?" "Yes Neo-Queen Serenity. We asked her, in case her judgement got knocked down." Artemis said as he stepped forward. "Very well. You may go back now." the Queen ordered. "Sailormeteor of the past, what do you think of your new identity?" she asked. "I think I may be able to pull through if I had some help. I think I will do just fine, Neo-Queen Serenity." "Are you aware of whom I was long ago?" the Queen asked. "Yes, I do, my Queen. You were Sailor Moon, champion of justice. I am aware of all that has happened before I have awakened." "Kitana, step forward." Kitana stepped. "I find you guilty of only one thing," Kitana lowered her head. "I find you guilty of finding the correct person. You have done a good job. Congratulations. Sailormeteor of the Past, meet Sailormeteor of the future." Sailor Meteor looked around, and found all eight senshi standing before her. "We would all like to congratulate Sailormeteor, who, in a time of great distrbance in the past, has arrived and awoken just in time." They all said in unision. Sailor Venus walked up to her. "Good luck Sailormeteor." "And have a safe journey home," added Sailor Jupiter. "Good luck! My powers say that you have enough-" Sailor Mars was cut short by Sailor Mercury. "Brain power! You can do it, Sailormeteor!" The Sailor Meteor of the future stood in front of her. "I know that you can do it. I, of all, should know," Sailor Meteor of the future stated. "And I will be sending my daughter with you," Neo-Queen Serenity said. "I will protect her with all of my life, if danger happens to appear," Sailor Meteor of the past stated honorfully. "I know you will," all of the Outer Senshi said in unision. All of a sudden Chibi-Usa was in the doorway. "I'm-I'm sorry Sailormeteor. I had no idea it was really you. My apologies." Chibi-Usa stated. "It's okay Chibi-Usa. You had every right, I showing up out of nowhere," Sailor Meteor said politely. "Sailor Pluto!" the Queen shouted, yet somehow she did it softly. "Yes, my Queen," she stated. "Please take Kitana, Sailormeteor, and Chibi-Usa to the past." "PUU-CHAN!!!!" Chibi-Usa ran straight towards Pluto. "Small Lady! I haven't seen you for awhile!" "Puu-chan I want to see my friends again! I want to see Usagi, Mina, Mamo-chan, Mako-chan, Ami, and especially Hotaru!" "Of course! Sailormeteor is going too!" "Really? She's so nice to me!" "Yes. She lives in the past like Usagi and Mamo-chan." "Off we go......Come Kitana!" And as soon as Kitana came, Sailorpluto waved her garnet orb, called out Time Portal, and they were off. "Sailormeteor, if we're going to be friends, can I know who you are when you're not in your Sailor form?" Chibi-Usa asked. Meteor looked at Pluto, whose face meant 'okay.' "Chibi-Usa, my *real* name is Heather Hui. My name in America is Diedra Hui. I don't live in Tokyo. But I will in a few hours. We're moving. Will you be staying with Usagi?" "Of course! I always do!" she answered. "Okay. I know where that is. I can get answers to most things I want to know from my brain," Meteor said coolly. "Chibi-Usa, you can't tell anyone, even Usagi, who I really am. When I come and visit, if they ask, just say I'm a friend. Because I am, okay?" Sailor Meteor aksed. "Sure Sailor Meteor! I'll see you, oh, in six hours! Bye" Chibi-Usa called as she went a different direction than Heather. "Sailor Meteor, that was very smart of you. We don't want the senshi using your power when they really don't need it," Sailor Pluto complimented. "Well, looks like this is our stop, Kitana. Let's go!" And they were back home. "Look Kitana! We have just enough time to get ready!" In a slight hurry, Heather got both of them ready for the trip. She dressed up, in capri pants and a T-shirt, and she put Kitana in her kitty karrier. _____________________________________________________ All of those thoughts seemed so relaxing to remember, giving her something to do on the long plane ride. "Poor Kitana! She's in the baggage cart!" Heather thought. Being so tired from the events of that day, she just fell asleep. When she woke up she was in Tokyo, in her new bedroom, all moved in already. Then she saw SailorPluto. "Thought I'd do you a little favor. You deserve it after what a long day you've had," she said as she smiled. And after Heather blinked, she was gone. "That was very nice of Sailorpluto, wasn't it Kitana?" "Oh yes! That was a lot of load off of our backs." Kitana said like a girl almost in her twenties, like Heather. "C'mon Kitana! We've got to go see Chibi-Usa! We, well, I promised! But you're coming too because you're so nice! Plus it's polite Kitana! So I am going to put you in my little mini-backpack. You'll fit. You have before. Besides, you look cute," Heather rambled. Of course, with a compliment like that, Kitana couldn't resist. "Of course I'll go!" _____________________________________________________ When they found Usagi's house, Heather rang the front bell, which was immediately answered by Chibi-Usa. "Hi Heather! Didn't expect to see you this soon! I'm so glad you're here! You can meet the rest of my friends!" Chibi-Usa said giddily. "Sure Chibi-Usa. I would've come late but I had some free time on my hands since....." she stopped, then whispered in Chibi-Usa's ear "Since SailorPluto moved all of my stuff and Kitana's in. Wasn't that nice of her?" Chibi-Usa started beaming, proud that someone so nice was one of her best friends. "I have to go give a present to Hotaru. If Usagi says it's all right, can you drive me? Do you have a driver's liscense?" "Yep. Right here." Heather pulled out her License. "I never knew purple and green hair could be so cool Heather! Did you dye it?" Chibi-Usa asked. "No. It's natural, like your hair is pink," Heather said. "Neat! Now let's go see my friends," Chibi-Usa added. "Sure Chibi-Usa!" Chibi-Usa took Heather's hand and guided her into the living room, where the girls were obviously having a party. There was popcorn, sleeping bags, cats, everywhere! "Usagi." "USAgi!" Chibi-Usa tried to get Usagi's attention again. "USAGI!!!!!!!!" Chibi-Usa screamed. "What Chibi-Usa. Who is that?" Usagi asked, dumbfounded by the girl's hair, which, although green and purple, looked stunning and beautiful. "It's my friend, Heather. Heather, this is Usagi," the girl with the funny looking hair waved. "Ami," a girl with short blue hair said "Hello." "Makoto," "Hi!," a girl with brunette hair in a ponytail exclaimed. "Call me Mako-chan." "Minako," "Hi!" a very pretty girl with long, golden blonde hair said cheerfully. "Hi everyone! I just moved her from the United States. I can speak Japanese because I used to live here-" she was stopped short by Rei. "Diedra!!! Is it really you?" "Of course! My dad got relocated again! Isn't that cool or what?" Rei frowned. "What happened to your hair?!" "It's natural. It started doing that when I was fourteen," Heather said coolly. "But call my Heather. I got my name changed." "Chibi-Usa, how'd you meet Heather?" Usagi asked inquisitively. "I fell from a really high swing and Heather caught me. I am going to go give Hotaru a present. Can Heather drive me?" Rei answered before Usagi even opened her mouth. "Sure! Just tell Heather what the directions are. She'll get them right." Rei looked Usagi's way. "Usagi, trust Heather! She's two years older than us!" "She can drive! NO WAY! OOH! I HAVE SOME SHOPPING TO DO!" screamed Usagi. "Sorry, maybe later Usagi. I have shopping to do too. But right now I'm taking Chibi-Usa to Hotaru's so she can give Hotaru her present. Like my car? My parents ordered it so it'd be all ready for me when I came. This fall I'm going to a local college, so I'll be near here, and so Chibi-Usa won't miss me," Heather said. "I wonder why Chibi-Usa is such a nice kid around me? Around Usagi she is such a... brat." she thought. "C'mon Chibi-Usa, let's go! Where's Kitana?" Kitana jumped into Heather's hands, but not before Rei noticed the star on its forehead. Rei gave the others a 'we need to have a meeting' look. The girls suddenly dashed out of the sight of Chibi-Usa and Heather. "I think they think I'm strange, they may think I'm an enemy. I'll let them know when the time is right Chibi-Usa. I promise," Heather said as she hugged Chibi-Usa. "You have to meet Hotaru! I like visiting in the past because in the future Hotaru isn't little, and it's not as fun. You should meet Setsuna too," Chibi-Usa's eyes twinkled. Heather tried finding out who Setsuna was, but her mind just wouldn't let her access what she wanted. "We're there!" Chibi-Usa exclaimed. She ran out of the car and rang the bell. Someone Heather's age opened the door. A girl with tealish hair. "It's not that strange," Heather thought. "MY hair is stranger," she thought over. "Why, hello Chibi-Usa! What brings you here?" she asked. "My mom wanted me to come back! I missed you all so much!" Chibi-Usa said. "Come on in! You can introduce me to your friend," she said, politely of course. "Heather, this is Michiru. Michiru, this is Heather," Chibi-Usa said. "Hi Michiru. I met Chibi-Usa a couple of days ago. She can be such a nice kid," Heather said. "I'll go find Setsuna, Haruka, and Hotaru. Sit tight! I'll be back," Michiru smiled. As soon as she left, Setsuna entered the room. "I believe I've met you before," Setsuna said. "Sailor Pluto?" Heather exclaimed. "Who else? Yes it is. I suggest you tell them who you are. The news will not leak to the Inner Senshi. I know. I am part of the Outer Senshi. So, please, after you get introduced, let it loose." Setsuna smiled. No longer than a minute later, Michiru and two other people came into the room. A little girl with chin length black hair, and a guy with short blond hair. Michiru smiled. "Haruka, Setsuna, and Hotaru, this is the surprise I told you about a couple of minutes ago. Chibi-Usa is back!" Nobody looked as ecstatic as Hotaru though. She ran straight over to her and gave her a hug. "Chibi-Usa! I haven't seen you for awhile!" Hotaru exclaimed. She noticed that Diana and another cat, green and purple, with a star on it's head, similar to Diana's Cresent Moon. "Ooh! It's a kitty! Nice cat," Hotaru said as she held Kitana and petted her. Haruka and Michiru exchanged looks. "Do not worry. Heather is not an enemy. She is an ally," Setsuna said coolly. Setsuna transformed into Sailor Pluto. "Do not worry. She is Sailor Meteor, needed very much at this point in time. Chibi-Usa knows this. Do not let this seep out to the Inner Senshi. They must not know whom she is until she is needed. She will help at battles, but the Inners shall not know until the time is right. Do not hesitate saying yes to her if she asks you if you need help. Chibi-Usa and Heather actually met earlier today when Kitana, Heather's guardian cat, took her to the thirtieth century. Do not worry. She is capable of handling things herself. She is as old as both of you," Sailor Pluto said, looking at Haruka and Michiru. "Sailorpluto, why didn't you tell us?" they both said in unison. "Because you didn't need to know then. Now you need to. All of us need to protect both Chibi-Usa and Heather at all times. I have seen the future, and it is not a good one. We need to take shifts protecting them, because we never know when an attack may be. I have little information about the enenmy, which hasn't appeared yet. I know though that they want to capture or kill Sailor Meteor and Chibi-Usa, but reasons are unknown. Sailor Meteor may be able to protect Chibi Moon, but who will protect Sailor Meteor? At battles we must all watch out for both of them. Nobody shall find out who Sailor Meteor is until it has to be done. Understood? All of you?" "Of course. Like we'd tell the inners about it anyway...." commented Michiru. "I agree. The Outer Senshi are great people to tell secrets," Heather said. "I think Rei knows something is strange about me. She used her priestess powers to ask if I am evil. Of course, the fire said she couldn't unravel the future before it had been told. She saw the star on Kitana. She may think I want to do away with Chibi-Usa. Of course, we all know different from that," she laughed. "Ummmm... I have to go home I think. If someone is to protect us at all times, what are you going to do at night?" Chibi-Usa asked. "Well, I suppose we'll split up. Two of us'll stay at Usagi's house with Chibi-Usa, and two'll go to Heather's house." Setsuna, back in regular form, answered. "I think the best thing would be for Hotaru and Setsuna to go with Chibi-Usa, saying that Hotaru wanted to sleep over and you came too because Haruka and Michiru were out. And it'd be easy for Haruka and Michiru to pass by my parents because you're exactly my age." "Let's go for it." All four outers said in unison, along with the cats. _____________________________________________________ "Michiru your clothes are so neat! They're casual andyet formal all at once!" Heather said while helping Michiru pack. "That's because I have to give violin concerts a lot. Where do you plan to go to college?" Michiru asked. "The local performing arts one, since I sing, dance, ballet, and on and on. What about you?" Heather asked in turn. "Same as you. They're known for their violin program. But since you have to take english and reading classes too, maybe I'll have a class with you. That'd be great, since I won't know anyone there since I've been going to a private school a few cities away," Michiru said. "That'd be neat. Oh, I was wondering something. Is Haruka a guy or a girl?" Heather asked tensely. "Does everyone have to know?" Michiru asked while looking at the ceiling. "The seeming he is really a she, if you must know." "Ohhhh. That is really weirdly cool. (s)He can be a she at the same time. I imagine lots of girls go crazy for him." Heather said. "You're right. If you want to hear something funny, I'll tell," Michiru said while she laughed. "Sure, go ahead. I think I need a laugh anyways," Heather noted. "Well, when Minako and Usagi met Haruka, naturally they thought she was a he," Michiru started. "That's Sailormoon and Sailorvenus, right?" Heather asked. "Of course. And they both went crazy for "him." When Minako brought Makoto and Rei here, Makoto was ecstatic of course, 'to see the guy that looked like senpai.' When Rei, Makoto, and Minako found out 'he' was a she, Makoto and Rei jumped on Minako!" Michiru chuckled. "That is pretty funny!" Heather giggled, then checked her watch. "We'd better be going. My parents are going to be wondering where I am," Heather was up and ready to go in a minute or so, and Haruka came in and saw Heather waiting for Michiru. "Michiru come on, we're both waiting. Let me help you with that luggage," Haruka said while walking to pick up one of Michiru's suitcases, which were heavy enough to make Haruka, of all people, frustrate to carry it. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" Michiru chanted as she walked in strain from the pain of carrying two of her gigantic suitcases. "I guess I'll carry one too," Heather said as she too walked over to help Michiru with her suitcases. "Thanks Heather! I can actually walk now," Michiru said, or rather whispered. Heather didn't find much difficulty in carrying the suitcase, perhaps because of all the heavy training she had to do for gymnastics. "What should we do about cars? Should I drive mine and you can drive yours, or what?" Heather asked tentatively. "Well, right now we don't have the luxury to drive our own car. Since we're going to your house, Michiru and I'll ride in the back and you can drive," Haruka sighed at the thought of not driving. "Sure you don't want to drive Haruka?" Heather asked. "Well, if you want me to...." "Go ahead. My arms are tired anyway after Chibi-Usa gripping my hand all day," Heather wrenched her arms. "Let's pile in then. We'll put the suitcases in the trunk though, Michi and Heather in the back. Kitana can sit in the front," Haruka said. "I just hope we don't have to battle or some crap. It's the last thing I need on a moving day, learning I am Sailor Meteor, and going to the thirtieth century. I think things have been going a bit too rapid around here," Heather said, frustrated. "Really. I know what you mean! So many events packed into one day," Michiru said. "I just want to thank both of you for doing this, you didn't have to. You're really supposed to protect from the outside, not this," Heather said while getting into the car. "But it IS our job, sort of. We're protecting you from someone out there. Besides,"Haruka addded,"What Sailorpluto says goes." "Haruka's right. If Sailorpluto tells us to do something, we can't question it, we go straight to it," Michiru said, while piling in. "What's your address?" Haruka asked, leaning toward the girls. "I only live like two blocks away from you guys!" Heather laughed. "Let's get this show on the road," Haruka said while pulling the car out of the driveway. _____________________________________________________ "Hotaru and Puu this is too cool! Two of my favorite people protecting me! It's so neat! Plus you get to spend the night! I'm sooo happy!" Chibi-Usa spread her arms all over the place. "Chibi-Usa, this is strictly Senshi business," Setsuna said. Chibi-Usa frowned. "But, I suppose we can make it a sleepover," Setsuna added. Chibi-Usa beamed. "We're here. Hotaru, please help me with the baggage," Setsuna added. "I'll help too!" Chibi-Usa said. "Chibi-Usa, go tell Usagi that we are going to have a Senshi meeting. Right now," Setsuna said while helping Hotaru with the baggage. "Yes Puu," Chibi-Usa said. Chibi-Usa, not very mature for her thirteen years of age. Chibi-Usa ran up to the steps, knocked on the door, and almost immediately Minako answered the door. "Hiya Chibi-Usa. Whatcha doing? We're having a sleepover, so I'm here." "Setsuna wants a Senshi meeting. Right now," Chibi-Usa said, with the exact same tone in her voice. Minako looked startled. After a moment of conversing with the rest, Minako said "Tell Setsuna we'll be ready." Chibi-Usa briskly walked and told Setsuna, who just nodded. Seeing that Setsuna needed help, Chibi-Usa grabbed a suitcase. Setsuna smiled at Chibi-Usa, who looked triumphant. Setsuna reached the living room. "These suitcases were very heavy," Setsuna said. Everyone else just nodded. Usagi stood up. "Why do you want a meeting?" Usagi asked, obviously wanting a straight answer. "I need to talk with you about extremely important senshi business." The look in her face told it all. Everyone knew she was serious, and there wasn't any time for the sleepover planned, although they had had some fun until the hour of nine p.m. Usagi sat back down, and waited. "Hotaru wanted to sleep over, and I noticed I needed to talk with you, and since Haruka and Michiru are out, I decided to come too," Setsuna said while spreading out her sleeping bag, positioned so she could look at all the senshi. "Well, isn't Chibi-Usa going to hear this?" Ami asked tenatively. "As a matter of fact, no. She's heard enough of our dilemma. The poor girl's had a very big day, meeting -, well, meeting someone, making a new friend, and traveling back. She needs to have a break, as well as some fun.

There was a Sailor Senshi you are not aware of, and she played a very big role in your past." "Then why don't we remember? We should!" Raye said, obviously a bit mad. "Simple. I erased all of your memories of her and edited your minds so it all fits perfect without her. But soon you'll know. But way back when, Usagi had a twin."
