An unexpected visit, a weary fight, a teleport goes wrong and only one way home. What else could happen to our favourite heroines? Quite a bit actually. Some pairings. Please read and review.

Prologue
It had been a couple of months since the Sailor Stars had left and the two soul mates Serena and Darien sat together in the park (A/N Is there really anywhere else they ever go?) with Serena eating an ice cream cone and wearing an expression of utter glee (A/N and who wouldn't with a guy like that with an arm round your waist and yummy ice-cream? ). At the moment they sat in silence, simply happy to be in each other's company, but Darien broke the comfortable quiet by pointing to a spot in the distance toward the trees.

"Hey! What's that?"

"What's what Sweetums?" Serena replied not looking up from her ice cream, as it would require more than a simple distraction to disturb her eating.

"That." Darien insisted, thrusting his arm out a little more.

Realising that she wasn't going to get peace otherwise, she looked to where her beloved was pointing. "Are those pinks clouds?" she asked looking at the pink fluffy formation just above the tops of the trees.

"Think so..." wondered Darien squinting his eyes trying to get a better look, but whatever it was quickly disappeared and he lowered his arm. "Hmmm." something still nibbled at the back of his mind.

Deciding that it wasn't as important as food Serena turned back to her ice cream, only to stare dumbly at her empty hand. She pictured how it should have looked with the cone still in place then switched back and fourth between that image and what was now reality, and then gasped when she noticed her ice cream was missing (A/N Pretty slow I know but this is Serena we're talking about). She looked left to Darien, but he was still somewhere far away. Frowning in confusion she turned right. "Eeek!!"

There stood a girl with bubblegum hair in two pointed buns on top of her head and crimson eyes, wiping her mouth – thus solving the mystery of the missing ice cream. Shrieking, Serena jumped up and pulled Rini into a crushing hug. Once she had been freed she looked to Darien with a smile going form ear to ear.

"It's my little girl!" Darien burst out rushing at Rini.

"Daddy!" was her replying yell, earning the threesome strange looks from passers-by, as she jumped up into Darien's arms and hugged him tightly.

"No fair!" Serena pouts under her breath " Playing favourites."

Hearing this Rini swivelled her head round to look at Serena. " I missed you loads too ya know!" she said with the passionate voice she and her mother shared, making the blonde brighten up instantly.

"So why are you here this time?" Darien cut in while setting the girl down onto her feet again.

Rini fidgeted about for a couple of quick seconds, plastered on a giant, false grin, and answered with a voice full of fake enthusiasm. "Well, I really missed everyone so I thought I would come and visit."

Darien and Serena looked at each other and Serena exclaimed "That is sooo sweet!" and started the two of them off into a pile of smoochy baby talk.

The red-eyed liar scrunched up her face at their antics, but then relaxed letting out the breath she had been holding in a puff of air towards her fringe. "That, and Mum's scary when she's pregnant." She muttered under her breath.

"Huh? You say something?" asked Serena.

She quickly stood to attention and said "Nothing" while diverting her eyes. They would have easily given her away.

The gang had gathered at the temple, the gang being Rei, Ami, Lita, Mina and the cat double act, ready to have a meeting but waiting for their last members. It's not hard to guess who, if you even have to guess.

Lita, who was lying on her back on the floor, legs bent up and one over the other, and with her hands behind her head, was getting bored because they had been there an hour already so she decided to ask the obvious question. "So Luna, why did you call the meeting?"

"Yeah" Mina put in, wondering just why on earth no one else – not even Ami – had had the sense to ask sooner. "As far as I know there hasn't been any attacks since Galaxia."

"Your guess is as good as mine." was Luna's reply.

"What ever do you mean Luna?" requested Ami in the polite voice only she could have, looking up from her book and shifting slightly in her chair by the window. "You called the meeting didn't you?"

"Actually Serena called it." Luna said in a surprised tone, but Ami could hear the distinct sound of pride laced through it. "You know, I think she's really starting to take her leadership duties more seriously." If cats could smile, this one would be grinning.

"What!? Serena!?" was the unanimous outburst.

"As if!" Rei scoffed at Luna's comment. "If this is to simply brag about her and Darien, I swear I will sprint to her house form here and burn all her manga!"

The others backed away from the senshi of fire upon hearing just how serious she sounded. However, their fear was soon forgotten when they heard the chirpy "Hey guys!" from the doorway.

"Hi Serena!" Mina said jumping up to greet her near twin.

"Serena!" Rei fumed. "You Idiot! You call a, probably pointless, meeting yourself and then show up an hour late!" By the time she finished Rei was almost nose-to-nose with the meatball-headed blonde.

Ever the negotiator, Ami tried to keep the peace. "Please Rei, calm down."

"Come on. What's this all about?" Lita was keen to show that had faith in the hope that Serena had matured.

Serena started to explain "Well Darien and I -", but that was as far as she got before Rei exploded.

"I just knew it! It is always about you two! That's it I've had it! Say bye to your manga!" She leaped up to carry out her threat, but was luckily tackled mid take off by Lita and Mina, with the latter clamping a hand firmly over Rei's mouth, effectively cutting off some choice language.

"Please continue Serena" Luna requested pulling her charge out of shocked trance.

"Huh?" She gave herself a shake. "Oh. Yeah. Darien and I have brought someone to see you all." Looking up at Darien, who was standing beside her in the doorway, a knowing smile passed between them.

Everyone pressed forward trying to see past the couple and their faces slowly lit up in delight as the two in the doorway stepped to either side, revealing Rini to the group.

"RINI!" they all screamed and dive-bombed seven-year-old into a group hug, squealing and laughing the whole time.

"Guys...missed ya...but...can't...breathe..." she choked out as her face started to turn a choice shade of purple.

They quickly let go and sat down to catch up on what's been happening in the future, but Serena was disappointed when Rini didn't talk about her future self very much at all.

They were exhausted.

They had been fighting the nega creep that had appeared in the new off shore spa for the best part of 3 hours and it was already 4 o'clock in the morning. The monster seemed to be weakening, but it was very draining work on the senshi. It didn't help that the aforementioned monster favoured using fire to the point where the senshi felt like they were being toasted alive.

It was only the four inner senshi and the two moons doing battle, but there was no chance of back-up for the same reason there was no chance of escape: the bridge to the mainland had given out almost as soon as the fight had started. And the senshi could only hope that it would finish soon because the newly finished building now stood in ruins and was being eaten by the flames.

Desperate for victory and not having the fancier plans bare fruit, the girls went for the very basics of distracting the opponent's attention while Mercury fiddled with her computer and visor.

"Ahh!" Jupiter screamed as she dive-rolled to avoid the acid water their foe was spraying from a shower head. Her flesh was unharmed, but the same couldn't be said for the green skirt and pink bow as parts of them had simply crumbled away. Mars and Venus had both jumped to avoid the same attack and landed safely side by side. However, they were unable to move from there when they realised they had landed right in the middle of a pile of cement moose that had been dodged earlier.

With them firmly routed to the spot the fiend set about with its next attack. "Get a load o' this girlies." It then proceeded to turn its right arm forearm up to reveal what looked like an aerosol can strapped to it with the nozzle in the palm of its hand. "Hehe." It made a 'thumbs up' signal with the left hand then made a jerking movement, making the thumb flip back like a lighter and producing a flame. "Hairspray Flamethrower!" it yelled, pressing the cans nozzle down Spiderman style.

The eyes of the two immobile senshi widened in fear and they raised their arms in defence while the nega-pyro moved its left hand closer to the right one.

"Jupiter Thunder Crash!" The hairspray can exploded, causing some serious damage at long last. "It's old, but it can still pack a punch." Jupiter commented with pride.

The now seriously pissed off monster, fired combs in the direction of the two loudest senshi, who both shrieked when it became obvious that the teeth of the combs had been sharpened to fine points. When they dodged them with all the grace of a couple of one legged ducks the freak laughed and fired many more deciding that watching them really cheered her up. However, Sailor Moon was ready to burst into tears because she only had the power to heal people and this thing had not originally been human, so she had no attacks that could help her friends. She felt useless and the same went for Mini Moon.

"That's it!" Mercury suddenly burst out. "Quick everyone, we have to aim for 4 different parts of her body at the same time!"

"What parts!?" Sailor Moon demanded ready to take charge and have this fight finished.

Mercury obeyed her leader and princess. "Left shoulder, right elbow, left knee and right foot!"

With the anger of missing her precious beauty sleep Sailor Moon barked out her orders. "Jupiter. Left shoulder!"

"Got it!"

"Venus. Right foot!"

"No problem!"

"Mars. Right elbow!"

"I'm on it!"

"Mercury. Left knee!"

"Yes ma'am!"

She watched her senshi take aim. "Now!"

When all attacks connected with their targets at the exact same moment there was a blinding light and the classic scream of a nega-creep in pain rung out. Once the light faded it was easy to see they had finally won, but that victory didn't solve the problem of how they were going to get off the island. They were inside the ruined spa with the ceiling too low for them to jump over the fire and swim to shore, and the flames were so hot that Mercury's attacks simply evaporated. There was only one option left open to them. Sailor Teleport.

They scrambled into position with Mini Moon in the middle of the circle as the building began to groan and creak all around them.

"It's going to collapse" Venus warned while pieces of wood started to fall.

The group start to glow their planetary colours and disappear a mere breath before the whole building fell in around where they had just stood.

They landed safely on firm ground, in what looked like a park, but they instantly noticed something was wrong. They had all de-transformed and were now in their sleepwear.

Ami was wearing a light blue, cotton nightdress of a very respectable length with lace trimming, and a modest neckline. Lita sported a silk spaghetti top and matching hot pants in a lime green. Mina also had a spaghetti top, but it was cotton and she wore it with long bottoms, both in a surprisingly tasteful orange. Of course the ever-flirtatious Rei had on a rather short, deep red, silky nightdress with thin straps and a low neckline. They all appraised each other's choices until they turned towards Serena and Rini...and laughed.

The two were nearly identical. Both were wearing cotton pyjama sets with bunnies sleeping on clouds printed on them, but Serena's were yellow and Rini's were pink. Serena was about to defend them, but Rini cut her off.

"Wait a minute." she said looking to the starry sky. It was still night for some strange reason.

"Mm?" asked Serena, her curiosity awakened.

"Look!" her miniature shrieked, pointing to the sky. "There's two moons!"

"What!?"

Rei looked at the oddity terrified, opened her mouth, and then yelled so loud that her lungs burned. "WHERE THE HELL ARE WE!?"
