OMG. Last chapter I spelled her name wrong! I blame spell check. Setsuka's name is not really Setsuka. It's Setsuko, with a O. I feel like a failure of a writer. T.T Who misspells their own character's name! Apparently me...

Ebony Mitsu-It's been so long! I miss you :( Glad you're still reading me though and that I'm still funny! Yes! Another baby admirer!

EDIT: Wow, I'm messing up alot aren't I? I've changed Setsuna's statement. There aren't 13 children, there are only 12.

Chapter 2: Daydream Generation

As you know, this is Crystal Tokyo, which means that most of the senshi are mature adults (with a few exceptions) and as such are capable of marrying and having children… yes, you have kids. …It's alright, I- No! You're a good mother! Don't cry. You became the universe's fastest woman…the fastest man is Seiya…he tried out for the female one, but obviously you won. By one sixteenth of a picosecond. You got a trophy. I'd knew that'd make you feel better.

As I was saying, there were children running all around the Crystal Palace. All 12 of them. You already know Small Lady and Hotaru, but the other 10….Well you'll see.

"Today's the day everyone! Today is my day! They're posting class rank!" a lanky girl with wild black hair weaved around the rushing students, her skirt fluttering around with activity. She brightened when she saw the bulge of students crowding around the bulletin. She pushed her way to the front and looked for her name.

"Sestuko, Setsuko, Setsuko…." She muttered frantically. If she didn't raise up her rank….. She looked at number one and frowned at the neat 'Satoshi Tenou' written there. Stupid nerd. Number two was Yukie Mizuno-Kou. Another stupid nerd. Number three was Mamiko Tenou. Now she was cool. She looked for any other names she recognized. Number 7, Usagi Chiba. Number 10, Hatsu Kou. Number 18, Reina Hino. Number 20, Nao Aino. Number 27, Naruto Kino. Number 30, Kunio Aino.

"Where am I?" Setsuko wailed desperately. She couldn't be at the bottom again! She had done all of her work! She did the projects! She even cleaned the classroom when it was her turn! Where is she!

"There," a soft voice said as a pale finger rested on one row. Setsuko looked up. Number 45. Setsuko Kou. Tears of joy stung Setsuko's eyes as she saw her rank.

"Yes! I'm number 45! Wooooohoooo!" she cheered. She jumped for joy and hugged the person who had pointed her out. "I'm not 67 anymore!" !" Then she stopped and realized that she probably should figure out who she was hugging. She peered at the person from the fringe of her (unruly) bangs and let go immediately.

"Usagi-sama! I'm sorry for touching you so intimately! It'll never happen again," Setsuko bowed to the pink rabbit-princess.

"No no, don't bow to me. It's embarrassing…" Small Lady muttered. "It's alright, we're friends right?"

Setsuko paused. They were 3 years apart and Princess Usagi was her superior in every way. But, Setsuko hated deferring to authority figures. She got that from her father.

"Alright!" she said, erecting her body after picking up her forgotten school bag. "I'm sorry Usagi-sama, but I must meet up with the others," Setsuko saw something looking suspiciously like sadness cross Small Lady's face, but it was quickly disguised. She waved to the pink haired princess as she headed towards Crystal Park which, despite how it sounds, was not entirely made out of crystal. Setsuko lit up as she saw the other children loitering on the playground. She ran to them, dropping her bag next to theirs and tackled the nearest child.

Which happened to be Naruto, the strongest and tallest of the entire group. He caught her, spun her around and gave her a noogie.

"Ow, ow! Hey! Leggo!" Setsuko struggled. Naruto laughed and put her down. He was very tall for his age and handsome too. Of course, his parents were quite the pair, the long-haired playboy Nephrite and the lovely buxom Makoto. His eyes were a lovely hazel and a curly mop of chocolate brown completed his (very) attractive face.

"Setsu, you're late," he laughed. "Hatsu's going to be mad." He ran his hand through his messy hair and glanced at Hatsu nervously.

Hatsu was the leader of the 11 kids. Every order of hers was followed, no matter what. She towered over many of the other kids and her stern blue eyes pierced whoever was unlucky enough to be on the receiving end of her glare.

"Everyone," she said softly, "it's nice to see you again." She said that every time they held a meeting, even though they all saw each other just yesterday.

"First thing on the agenda is to plan the Great Battle. We must set some new rules. No taking the blow for other players, no matter what."

Kunio let out a huge wail from the slides. "What! There's no way you can do that! What if someone tries to kill my poor Nao again!" Nao looked at Hatsu blankly.

"I'll be fine," she said in her soft, breathy, monotone voice.

Hatsu nodded in agreement. "Nao can take care of herself. She did win 2 years ago."

"No! She can't be all by herself! Nao's defenseless! She needs me to protect her!" Kunio wailed. Nao scooted closer to her brother and patted his shoulder while he cried.

"Rules are rules." Hatsu said sternly. "And they must be followed. Next new rule: No groups containing more than two people."

Reina, Naruto, Yukie and Setsuko looked at each other guiltily. They had held up the game when it was down to the four (actually 5, Satoshi was hiding in the bushes) of them and none wanted to gun down the others.

"Thanks to Naruto, we were finally able to move on." Naruto attacked Yukie and Setsuko, causing Reina to run off and for the other two girls to lose. Ever since then, Yukie seemed to be afraid of him. Setsuko wondered why.

"Next rule: If an hour has passed without someone losing, then everyone loses. Last year, we went 7 hours without doing anything! We have a 12 hour time limit!"

"If you must know," Reina started. "That was Satoshi's fault." Everyone glared at Satoshi.

He sunk in deeper into his swing, his ash blond hair covering his face. "I-I didn't mean to…." He said meekly.

Mamiko sighed and went over to the swing set. "Sato...defend yourself okay? Just because someone says its your fault doesn't mean it is," she said tenderly to her younger brother. He ducked his head and stayed like that for the rest of the meeting.

After that, the meeting went on smoothy and uneventfully. Satoshi, Yukie, Mamiko and Hatsu were given special privileges for being in the top ten and Setsuko was given a lollipop for improving her rank. They said their goodbyes and all headed home. Setsuko found herself walking home with Hatsu, Mamiko and Satoshi.

"Hey Hatsu, Naruto looked pretty cute today didn't he?" Mamiko sighed. Setsuko made a gagging noise with her lollipop.

"I guess. I don't really look at him like that. Besides, he already has a girlfriend." She shrugged.

Mamiko scoffed. "He always has a girlfriend. I just wish he'd go out with me sometime, especially since the festival is so soon. Or is Hatsu-chan hoping he'll ask her to see the fireworks with him?"

Hatsu blushed. "N-no! We're just friends-"

"Best friends," Setsuko taunted.

"And I'm older than he is! I don't even like him that way. Anyway, I was going to go to the festival with Reina."

Setsuko shook her head. Her older sister was so boring. "What about you Mami-chan? Who are you going with?"

"If Naruto won't go with me, then I guess I'll go with Sato. You don't mind wouldn't you?" Mamiko asked the younger. He blushed, ducked his head and shook it rapidly.

"Going with family? That's just as boring as going with friends!" Setsuko wailed.

"Then who are you going with?" Hatsu inquired.

"... Mom and Dad," Setsuko frowned.

"Seriously? Dad's coming?" Mamiko wondered. "I thought they were fighting again."

"They are," Hatsu stated. "They always fight. Over dumb things too." Setsuko and Mamiko nodded their agreement. Their parents always fought over stupid things.

"I think it might be serious this time..." Satoshi whispered. "They've never been apart for this long."

"Hmm? What did you say, I can't hear you." Setsuko mocked. Mamiko punched her in the arm.

Hatsu nodded thoughtfully. "I think you're right Sato. The last time they were apart for this long, it was when you two were born. Or around that time anyway. I barely remember it."

"You remember when you were 2?" Mamiko asked, disbelieving.

"Only a little bit. Like Setsu always was a big crybaby and Mom was always tired. Things like that."

"I was not a crybaby!" Setsuko huffed.

"Yes you were," Hatsu teased.

"Was not!"

"Was too!"

"Was not!"

"Was too!"

They continued back and forth until they got home.

Sorry it was short! But next chapter we see how our favorite senshi is doing~ Yay! Review and I'll type faster~
