Author's Notes

I do not own the Sailor Senshi, although I did make up the Starlights' children and the main villain. This story is set after SailorStars and is kind of a sequel to it, so if you haven't seen SailorStars you might be very confused by what happens in this story. Unlike for my usual stories, I don't have a character name list because there's only 3 new characters.

Chapter 1: Old Friends, New Friends

Chibi-Usa raced through the Crystal Palace as fast as she could, heading for the forbidden door that led to the Time Gates. She blinked her eyes, trying to forget what she had just seen. She shuddered at the thought of her kind, gentle mother turning into such a cruel woman, who glared down at her for nothing. She looked down at her hands and screamed. She was fading!

"Small Lady! Good thing you came! You must go to the past and fix the time continuum!" Sailor Pluto greeted her hurriedly. Chibi-Usa nodded.

"Yeah, Puu, Mama turned into a mean woman with black and white hair!" Chibi-Usa blurted out. Sailor Pluto nodded.

"Yes, Small Lady. It is of the utmost importance that you help Sailor Moon and her friends defeat this menace," she said, and led Chibi-Usa through the familiar time portal.

"You have such great manga, Rei! Doesn't Ichigo's boyfriend Masaya remind you of Mamoru? He's so sweet, yet kind of dense about love, too," Usagi giggled as she kicked back on Rei's bed. For once, the Senshi thought that they were done with their battles, and they were all having a relaxing Sunday afternoon at the Hikawa Shrine. Even Haruka, Michiru, and Hotaru were there, and Hotaru was especially enjoying reading the history books that the shrine held.

"Yeah, but...HEY! I didn't say you could read that!" Rei snapped, jumping up to her feet. She was about to snatch the manga away from Usagi when Yuuichirou came into the room.

"Miss Rei, there are some guests outside who want to see you. They claim to be old friends of yours," he said, bowing to her.

"Let's all go! I bet if they're friends of Rei's, they can be mine too!" giggled Usagi, and she forgot about the Tokyo Mew Mew manga as the group of 7 girls all went to see who had arrived. Minako gasped when she saw who it was.

"The Starlights! The Starlights came back! I don't care if they're girls, the Starlights came back!" she cheered.

"And they brought some new people with them. I think the Starlights kind of look older now, too," added Makoto.

"Well, it has been awhile since we were last here. I think we've actually traveled in the past here. These are our daughters," Seiya announced. Minako reached down and picked up Luna off the floor.

"Hey, look, Yaten! Luna's happy to see you too!" she called cheerfully. The tall girl who was next to Yaten shrieked in fear and began to cower.

"Mommy! Save me from the scary kitty!" she wailed, suddenly in tears.

"Tsubasa doesn't like cats. I can meet with Luna some other time," Yaten scolded. Minako giggled.

"Boy, if that's your daughter, I bet you've got something to fight about," she snickered. Haruka pushed through, glaring at them.

"Why did you come here? I thought you were going to just stay on your planet," she demanded.

"Because there is a danger to both our planet and to your own. We do not know the details, but we are apparently fleeing our own new Princess Chizuru, who, from what I know, is planning to murder you, Miss Usagi Tsukino," Taiki explained bluntly. Usagi gasped at this revelation.

"Why? Why does she want to kill me? What have I ever done to her?" she pleaded. Seiya sighed.

"This is partially my fault. She was always quite jealous and angry at you because she felt that I should not have fallen in love with you and just stayed loyal to her mother. And then, we don't know what happened, but she somehow gained extra powers and forced us to travel back through time and space to now. We brought our daughters with us because we gave them our powers. They can help you if Princess Chizuru decides to actually attack," Seiya admitted.

"Well, that's your problem, and you should fix it," Haruka snapped.

"Haruka! This IS our problem too if the person they're fleeing from is after Usagi! I know that Seiya caused trouble before, but she's obviously not going to now, she's got her own daughter," Michiru scolded, gesturing to the girl who was near Seiya, glaring at them with her cold blue eyes. Haruka blinked.

"Really? Man, she's got a shiny big forehead," she commented.

"Stop that! I get that enough from Yohko!" the girl shouted, poking the shortest girl, who looked like Taiki, in the side.

"That's because you DO have a big forehead, Miaka!" giggled Yohko.

"Well, you're a fat pig! You look like an overinflated beach ball!" retorted Miaka. Indeed, unlike her tall, thin mother, Yohko was quite round and plump.

"Better a fat pig than having a forehead no one can look at lest they get blinded from the glare!" snapped back Yohko, her lavender eyes flashing dangerously. Seiya groaned.

"Now look at what you started, Haruka! You got them fighting again and I thought we could at least have a nice reunion!" she accused.

"I started this! You keep your own little spore under control, Seiya!" Haruka growled. Before Seiya could retort, however, there was a flash of pink light in the sky. Usagi looked up to see Chibi-Usa plummeting down, just like she did the fateful day they first met. She crashed on top of Taiki, knocking her down.

"Get off of my Mom! Maker Star...MPHHH!" Yohko mumbled angrily as Yaten grabbed her roughly.

"One of the rules of being a Sailor Senshi, missy, is that we don't attack until we know what's going on. And anyway, something about her seems like Usagi," she scolded.

"Ow...Usagi...Usagi! I'm so glad to see you! The future's getting all messed up and...hey, who are these people? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to land on you," Chibi-Usa giggled as she jumped off of Taiki. Usagi blushed.

"Well, everyone, meet my future daughter, Chibi-Usa Tsukino," she announced. Haruka harrumphed.

"And that's with Mamoru, so don't get any ideas, Seiya," she added. Then she grinned wickedly. "Who's the father of your child, Seiya?"

"No one we know of personally. The Sailor Senshi protectors of the Queen and her princess are not allowed to marry. This is so they do not get too attached to someone else and possibly betray their Queen. Thus, we used artificial insemination to have our children," Taiki explained from her spot on the ground, though she looked rather dazed from having Chibi-Usa crash on top of her. Usagi sighed, a light of realization in her eyes.

"That must be why you didn't want Seiya falling in love with me," she observed, "It's okay, Chibi-Usa is proof enough, so let's just all be friends this time around," she said, giving a pleading look to Haruka and Michiru. Chibi-Usa stared at her.

"What IS going on, Usagi? Who are these people? And what is this about someone named Seiya falling in love with you?" she asked, suspicion clearly showing in her ruby eyes. Usagi looked at the others, and then decided to tell Chibi-Usa the whole story about what happened with her and the Starlights and their battle against Sailor Galaxia. When that explanation was finished, the conversation turned to the topic of where the Starlights were going to stay this time around.

"We're not going to do the idol thing again. Basically, we need someplace to stay that's not going to be permanent," Yaten said.

"One of you could stay at the shrine here. We're always looking for help," Rei offered.

"And it would be nice to have someone to keep me company in my apartment. It's rather lonely there by myself," Makoto added.

"I'll go with you, Rei. The shrine sounds like a quiet place to think and this seems to be a meeting spot as well," suggested Taiki.

"Makoto, can I stay with you? It would be good to get Miaka away from Yohko for once," Seiya said. Haruka looked at Yaten and Tsubasa, and then she sighed.

"I'll check with Setsuna, but I suppose you two can stay with us. We have plenty of room and since we're all Sailor Senshi, we can keep your secret," she reluctantly offered.

"You sure you want to have Yaten? Can't I have one of the Starlights?" whined Minako.

"No, Minako, what would your parents think? And I think Yaten's okay, I don't want Seiya and Yaten's daughter seems to be the least troublesome," Haruka explained.

"Hotaru would like having someone her age around," agreed Michiru.
