SailorStar9: Another pretty wrecked up idea given to me by my plot bunnies. BBSM/Roughnecks anyone?

Summary: Ever since Sailor Moon received her Eternal power-up, she had also unlocked the similar power-ups for the other Senshi. The Senshi each had a power boost upon receiving the power-up, especially Mercury. However, the senshi of ice was not used to having this much power. As a result, she tends to have quite explosive outbursts of magic. Deciding that she was too dangerous to be around Serenity, the Moon cats wanted Pluto to send the ice princess away from the other senshi. But, Pluto had other ideas. She sent Amy to the Starship Troopers' dimension, where she could learn how to fully utilize her new powers. And so, our story begins. BTW, this is a flashback fic.

Main pairing: Carl/Amy. Hints of Dizzi/Johnny/Carmen.

Warning: Sudden random magic outbursts by Amy and Mina jealousy.

Words in italics refer to thoughts, telepathic messages and flashbacks.

Timeline

Sailor Moon: Way post-Galaxia.

Starship Troopers (flashback mode): One school term before the series.

P.S. About the Dizzi/Johnny/Carmen triangle, it will eventually end as a Johnny/Dizzi or Johnny/Carmen. Pick your choice people!

An interesting thought came to me as I was typing this: what exactly is the senshi's role in Crystal Tokyo? Are they:

Required to protect the royal family at all costs, even if it means sacrificing their own happiness? On other words, Usagi is the only one who is permitted to be happily married, while the rest of the senshi live on solitude for as long as Crystal Tokyo lasts.

Or

Allowed have an equal status as Neo-Queen Serenity, marry and aid the Moon Queen in ruling Crystal Tokyo?

Disclaimers: Nothing here, except the plot, is mine.

Prologue

24-year-old Amy Anderson awoke beside her live-in boyfriend. Smiling, she brushed a stray lock of sandy blonde hair from his forehead.

Getting out of bed, she slipped on a bathrobe and settled down at the dressing table.

Super Sailor Pluto's words from yesterday still lingered in her mind.

"The Deep Freeze is nearing. The Senshi needs you back." The Time Senshi had told her.

She had told the Senshi of Time that she needed some time to think.

Sailor Pluto nodded and disappeared into time portal.

Penny for your thoughts? A worried, but soothing voice entered her head.

Pluto's words. She replied back.

Carl knew about Amy's, erhm, powers.

A pair of warm arms encircled her.

Turning back, she smiled, "And where's my penny?"

Carl laughed and kissed her nose.

Turning serious, he asked "And what about it?"

Amy sighed and replied, "I'm not sure whether I want to return." She answered.

Carl quirked a brow at her.

"One thing is still bugging me." She confessed.

"And that would be?" Carl prompted.

"Why is that its always the girls who have to sacrifice everything? After what all of us went through, it is only fair that the girls seek out their own happiness. Then, why is that we're still bound to serve Serenity at all costs?" she asked.

"Or is what Queen Serenity said true? Once a senshi, always a senshi. Are all of us destined to protect and serve Serenity even at the cost of our own happiness?" she finished, with a sad tone.

Carl let out a small smile, "Whatever happened to the optimistic Amy I knew?" he teased.

"Just analyzing the situation." Amy countered, frowning.

Kissing her slightly, the telepathic said in a professor-like tone, "It has been proven scientifically that analyzing too hard kills too many brain cells, and thus leading a deterioration of intelligence."

Amy rolled her eyes, "Says you." She muttered, sticking out her tongue.

"Don't do that unless you intend to use it." The blonde telepath breathed into her ear.

Amy returned a seductive smirk and purred, "Maybe I do."

Carl's head shot up, "What?" he exclaimed.

She laughed, "Got ya."

Carl let out a defeated sigh.

Nuzzling her nape, Carl asked, "So now what?"

Amy sighed, "I don't know."

"But, knowing Pluto like I do, she'd most probably drag me back under Serenity's orders." Amy replied.

Back in the Senshi world, Trista was showing the Inner Senshi Amy's life in the Starship Troopers' dimension.

"Oh, Amy is so lucky." Mina cooed.

Turning to Serena, the senshi of time asked, "Do you have the heart to separate this pair of soulmates Serenity? Because if you do, then Mercury is as good as lost."

The future Neo-Queen Serenity thought for a second and asked, "Sets, is it possible for Crystal Tokyo to exist if the rest of the girls get married?"

Trista thought for a second and answered, "Yes, it is possible, but the ruling system will change drastically. You'll have to give up most of your ruling power to the girls, for they'll be Neo-Queens like you."

At that, Serena was in deep thought.

If the girls do get married, then I won't be the sole ruler of Crystal Tokyo. But if I forbid them to marry, then I'll be refusing them of their happiness.

Two miniature figures, an angel and a devil popped out beside her.

"So what if you're refusing them their happiness?" the devil protested. "What is the most important is that you're happy."

"But after what the girls went through, it's only fair if they're allowed to find their happiness." The angel argued back.

Turning to Serena, the red-clad devil asked, "Are you willing to give up being the only royal ruler of Crystal Tokyo?"

"Serena, consider the girls' happiness." The angel pleaded.

"Devil, you post a very good question, but I'll go along with the angel's advice." The odango-haired girl answered.

"Serena, now isn't the time to be generous!" the devil protested.

But Usagi had already shut him off.

Finally decided, the odango-haired girl looked at Trista and said, "Crystal Tokyo can wait. Bring Amy back and let the rest of the girls find their significant halves."

The three Inner Senshi gasped.

"Serena, are you saying…" Lita prompted.

The odango-haired girl nodded.

Trista nodded silently and disappeared.

Minutes later, Sailor Pluto appeared again before Amy, startling Carl.

Turning to Amy, the Time Senshi said, "Serena wants you back, Amy."

Nodding towards Carl, she added, smirking, "Your fiancé is required to come along."

"Fiancé?" Amy squeaked and looked at Carl.

The blonde telepathic blushed sheepishly and admitted, "I was wanting to propose."

"In what way?" Amy pressed.

In this way. He told her telepathically.

Marry me. He added.

Blushing, the blue-haired girl nodded.

Carl smiled and slipped a ring on her finger.

Sailor Pluto nodded, and the Garnet Orb flashed. A portal appeared and she said, "Please step through."

The couple looked at each other, nodded and disappeared into the portal.

SailorStar9: Oh well, so how was that? BTW I need a title for this.
