Part Two: A New Guest

The Royal Couple, the Senshi, and the Chibi Senshi all sat around the conference table gazing at Kousagi who sat staring back at them. No one quite knew what to say. Finally, Neo-Queen Serenity spoke, "You're saying your name is Kousagi Tsukino?" Kousagi turned to her and said, "Yes. You two are my parents, Usagi is my onee-san but she and Hotaru are the same age. These are your best friends," Kousagi gestured toward the Inner Senshi, " but these are not their daughters."

"Of course we are," Akaru shrieked. Rei placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Hush," she admonished. "She's obviously from a different universe." Akaru settled back down and continued to gaze at Kousagi with curiosity. When the mysterious visitor announced who she was, Akaru and Natsuki immediately took her to the Senshi. A meeting was instantly called.

"What century is your home in?" Setsuna asked. Kousagi looked at her in surprise. "What century?" she echoed. "Why? What century is this?" Shinju replied in her quiet voice, "It's the thirtieth century and you're in Crystal Tokyo." Kousagi looked panicked and then began to wail, "I live in the twentieth century!" She cried very loudly causing several of the children to put their hands over their ears. "Well she certainly has Serenity's wailing," Rei muttered.

Serenity in the meantime put a comforting arm around the little girl. "Tell us about your home." Kousagi sniffled and took a deep breath. "We raise rabbits. Usagi and Hotaru are best friends and Mama always forgets to pay the bills according to Usagi. The daughters of her best friends Rei, Ami, Makoto, and Minako have their names. They are Chibi Rei, Chibi Ami, Chibi Makoto, and Chibi Minako. We're all the same age and for some reason they always leave me behind when we have to go somewhere together. We just became Senshi though."

"Are your mother and her friends Senshi?" Ami asked. Kousagi shook her head. "No," she replied. "Just the five of us are." "Then we obviously have normal lives in this universe," Serenity said blissfully. "Don't even think about it," Luna snapped at her jumping up on the table. "You're a queen and Senshi here and this is where you belong." Serenity turned to her and said, "Calm down Luna. I was only kidding. I wouldn't trade my life for anything." "That's good to know," Minako sighed.

Suddenly Kousagi started sneezing. "I'm allergic to cats," she shrieked and Luna quickly moved away from her. "Well I hope you can live with them because there are a few here," Usagi told her. "Oh I can," Kousagi replied. "We have a cat at my house too." "There's a cat at their house and Kousagi is allergic," Meiyo muttered. "That makes sense." "My Senshi guardian is a cat," Kousagi added. "This universe sounds like a joke," Meiyo muttered but was hushed when Minako nudged her.

There was a knock at the door and one of the maids came in with a tray of cookies. "Here are the cookies you baked today Lady Jupiter," she said placing the tray on the table. "Thank you," Makoto replied. "Please everyone help yourselves." Kousagi dove in and started gobbling the cookies down. "These are wonderful," she shrieked. "You cook this good in my universe too." "It seems she also has her mother's appetite," Minako muttered. "Save some for the rest of us," Kirio demanded. "I have," Kousagi replied with her mouth full. "There's one left for each of you." "She's Serenity's daughter all right," Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako all said together. Serenity blushed. "Let's not talk about my appetite," she pleaded. "We need to decide what we're going to do with Kousagi." "Are you a queen here?" Kousagi asked with her mouth full of cookies. "Yes I am," Serenity replied. "So that would make you a princess since you are of my flesh and blood." "A princess," Kousagi sighed dreamily with stars in her eyes.

"Until we know how to get her back to her time and universe she'll just have to stay here," Setsuna explained. She turned to Kousagi, "Is that all right with you?" Kousagi nodded. "She'll stay with us of course," Endymion stated. "We had better break the news to Gemmei." "Who's Gemmei?" Kousagi asked. "Our adopted daughter," Serenity explained. She held out her hand, "Come with us." Kousagi took her hand and left with the Royal family. The meeting was adjourned.

Outside the conference room, Sachi was waiting. "So who is she?" he asked when he saw Minako and Meiyo. "It's a long story," Minako sighed as she headed toward the training rooms with Mikomi and Natsuki since they were on the schedule. "But," Meiyo began when her mother was out of earshot. "You and I are going to have some fun with her."

"She's your daughter!" Gemmei shrieked in shock. She had been waiting in the Royal chambers to find out what was going on. "In another universe," Serenity explained. "Until we figure out how to send her home, she'll be staying with us." Gemmei looked very pale. "She's not staying in my room," she firmly told them. "Of course not," Serenity replied not noticing how worried her younger daughter looked. "She'll stay in one of our guest rooms."

Kousagi followed Serenity into one of the guest rooms. "Will this do?' Serenity asked. Kousagi gasped. The room was more than twice the size of her room at home. There was a large double canopy bed near the window. A huge dresser and a vanity table also made up the furnishings. Kousagi was also surprised to see a television set sitting on a stand. There was huge walk in closet and the room had its own bathroom. "It's so big," she exclaimed. "I really will feel like a princess while I am here." "You'll be treated like one too," Serenity assured her. "I'll get a catalog out and you and I can go through it and order some clothes and toys for you while you are here." "I'm going to like it here!" Kousagi exclaimed. At the door, Gemmei had seen the entire exchange. She began to worry. Was she going to be sent back to the orphanage? It was more than Gemmei could bear. She ran to her room and made it to the bathroom just in time to get sick.

That night after dinner, everyone gathered in the large palace living room. Kousagi had shocked the other children with her huge appetite. The Senshi had been used to Serenity eating that much when they were teenagers but the children hadn't seen that much so they were quite unprepared to see how much Kousagi ate. "Three pieces of cake," Gemmei exclaimed to Tama. "What a pig." Tama looked at her in surprise. "But your mama eats a lot too," she pointed out. "Not as much as she used too," Luna pointed out as she sat down next to them. "Serenity's appetite tamed down a bit once she had became queen." Gemmei looked worried. "Is she really a lot like Mama was when she was?" Luna sighed and nodded her head. "I thought one was bad enough but two of them. Kousagi is just like Serenity was when I first met her." Gemmei sighed and looked down at her hands. She was so worried that her new family would fall in love with Kousagi and not want her anymore. "What's wrong Kousagi?" Tama asked noticing her friend's worried look. "Oh nothing," Gemmei quickly replied. "Come on. Let's get that game out."

Serenity and the Inner Senshi were sitting together and talking about the new arrival. "I have to admit she is so cute," Minako stated. "In the past, I always thought Chibiusa was adorable but Kousagi is just so cute with those double odangos."

"Just be sure to pay attention to Gemmei too," Ami cautioned Serenity. "She's still very new to your family and I don't want her to feel threatened by Kousagi's presence." Serenity looked surprised. "Gemmei knows we love her," she exclaimed. "I would never leave her out."

Suddenly Kousagi came up to them. She was carrying a couple of pairs of shoes in her hands. "Where's the shoe polish?" she asked. "Why do you want the shoe polish?" Serenity asked in surprise. "Because it's a newcomer's job to polish everyone's shoes on the first night," Kousagi replied. "What are you talking about?" Rei demanded, shaking her head to make sure she heard correctly. "I was told that all newcomers on the first night have to clean everyone's shoes," Kousagi explained.

"SACHI AND MEIYO STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE!" Minako shouted as she suddenly realized what had happened. She bolted over to the two troublemakers and started scolding them. Makoto pulled Kousagi over toward her. "Don't listen to those two," she advised. "They love a good prank." Kousagi nodded her head and walked over to Akaru and Natsuki.

"Mommy, I'm sleepy," Mari came over and climbed on Ami's lap. "I guess it's getting late," Ami sighed looking at her watch. Sure enough it was approaching bedtime for the younger children. Everyone began rounding up their children to get ready for bed.

That night everyone slept soundly with two exceptions. Kousagi lay awake thinking how nice it was to live as a princess and with the exceptions of Meiyo and Sachi; the other children were so nice to her. But was her own family in her universe worried about her and missing her? That worried Kousagi.

The other sleepless one was Gemmei. Kousagi seemed to be really nice but all Gemmei had heard that evening was how much she was like Serenity. Was Kousagi going to replace her and get her sent back to the orphanage? That was all Gemmei could bear.

End of part two.
