Hey everyone I'm back with another amazing chapter for Emily's story. Now I won't tell you much. But this chapter basically focuses on, trying to keep a part time job when you're a Sailor Guardian. Spoiler alert: It's not easy.

Anyway, onto the chapter. Btw this chapter takes place about a week after the first one.

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon, but the OCs are all mine.

Babysitting 101

I sigh deeply while cleaning up Cupcake Palooza. I can't believe I was fired again. Okay yes I can believe it, if I were the manager and found this place a total disaster with only one employee there to blame. I would have fired them too. But this was so not my fault!

See I have been working at this shop for 3 weeks now. Nothing bad had happened while I was working. I thought I had finally found a job that I was going to be able to keep. That is until this real shady character walked in here today when it was my turn to close the shop.

At first he looked like a normal guy but I was getting all kinds of bad vibes from him. I tried to tell him that we were closed but he wouldn't leave. I then made the mistake of threatening to call the police if he didn't leave. That's when he spoke.

"Heh. They won't be able to save you Little Venus"

As soon as he said that I knew he was another monster from the Dark Nebula. And he began to transform into well a giant bomb looking monster. I transformed into Sailor V, we fought and the shop got totaled. There were cupcakes everywhere. They were on the ceiling; they were on the walls and of course they were on the floor. Along with broken glass from the windows and display case, and splinters of wood from some of the demolished tables and chairs.

I had tried to clean everything up but, while I was cleaning the manager walked in and demanded to know what happened. I could have told him the truth I guess but… well it was a pretty far-fetched story. And it's not like I have a magic yo-yo or whatever to help me clean up everything after a fight with a monster. Someone should get to work on that. It would make life as a super hero so much easier.

When I couldn't give the manager a real answer he told me that after I finished cleaning the shop I was to hand in my uniform and leave. Sometimes being a Sailor Guardian sucked. I know you're probably wondering why I was bothering with a job. Emily you're rich why get a job when you don't need one? Just spend your Mother's money or get your neglectful Father to send you money.

Friend let me tell you something. That isn't the point! The point is that I want to know that I'll be able to support myself if I need to. I don't want to rely on my mother's money. I see it on the internet all the time, gossip websites stating that yet another rich kid was blowing their parent's well-earned fortune on ridiculous and stupid things. I don't want to be one of those people. Not to mention some of these kids end up getting in trouble and having to go to jail, only for their parents to bail them out. I want to be different from them. I want to set an example that you can grow up a rich kid and not end up as… some poser.

My dream is to become a famous artist. That people all around the world will see my work. That they'll appreciate my work as much as other famous artists. I know most artists don't become famous until they're dead, but given how Crystal Tokyo expands our life spans. There is a big chance that I will be recognized long before I die.

Until then though, I did need another way to pay bills and stuff. On my own.

I soon finish cleaning the shop. Though I was a little worse for wear. As I left the show I checked my reflection out in the window. My blond hair had icing in it, my face had chocolate stains. Otherwise I looked almost Identical to my mother. I had her blue eyes and even wore a ribbon in my hair. The only noticeable difference was that I wore an orange ribbon in my hair. My dad gave me this ribbon as a late birthday present. I even remember what he said when he gave it to little five-year-old me.

"Sorry this is late Princess. But I wanted to get you something really special" Daddy said before presenting me with a very pretty orange hair ribbon. "I know it's not the same colour as your Mommy's but I hope you like it." Daddy then said before putting the ribbon in my hair so I looked just like Mommy.

"Wow! I look like Mommy! Thank you, Daddy! Thank you!" I exclaim before hugging him.

"You're very welcome Princess." Daddy said before placing a kiss on my head. "You truly are as beautiful as your Mommy"

I have worn an Orange ribbon in my hair ever since and it has officially become my favourite colour because of that day. My Father may be neglectful but I know he still cares. At least I hope he does. The only reason I have doubts is because he doesn't visit me as often as he used to. It just makes me wonder sometimes.

With those depressing thoughts, I continue my way home. I needed a shower. Thankfully there was no paparazzi around my house today. I did not want to be caught on camera like this. Having pictures of me taken when I was a total wreck last week was bad enough.

As I made my way to the door, I noticed mom's car was home. Guess her autograph signing ended early. I sighed as I entered the house. I know that I'll get a worried parent reaction once she saw me, that is unless I could make it to the shower before she does see me.

"Hi Emily!" Of course, just my luck she was waiting for me. "Welcome... Oh my goodness! What happened?! Was there a food fight at work?! Did the cupcakes explode on you or… did, you know…" Mom's face and tone was full of worry and I sigh.

"Yeah I was attacked at work…again." I tell her but her worry doesn't fade. "I'm fine mom don't worry. You know I can handle myself."

"Dear when it comes to you, I can't help but worry." Mom says coming closer to me and taking me into a hug. "You're my whole world. If I lost, you…. I-I…. I don't know what I'd do."

"Mom nothing is going to happen to me. I promise, you won't lose me." I tell her trying to ease her worry.

"You can't promise that dear. Especially not when you take these threats on by yourself." Mom tells me in a scolding tone.

"I didn't want to get the others involved in my mess though." I try to explain "If they had come and helped they could have been in serious trouble. Rini would have gotten so much bad publicity. I couldn't risk calling them to help mom. Besides you used to defeat baddies by yourself all the time when you were thirteen."

"Yes but your mother didn't know there were other guardians out there at the time." Came a voice from the couch. "Plus when Mina started out she was facing weaker monsters than you Emily"

"What do you mean?" I ask now confused.

Artemis comes into view now and takes his human form, so he can talk to us face-to-face. His human form wore a white long sleeved shirt, white pants. He also wore a pendant with two crescent moons. One white and one gold, and he had long white hair. His face was rather hansom and on his forehead, was the ever-present crescent moon mark.

"I mean the Dark Nebula is growing stronger." Artemis said in a grave tone.

"H-how is that possible" I exclaim in surprise. "They haven't been collecting energy or anything from us!"

"Luna and I suspect that they have been gathering energy from other places around the world. Places where the Sailor Guardians aren't present." Artemis then explained.

"The others and I also discussed this, dear." Mom then joined in. "We believe that they are sending assassins to target you five specifically. For what reason… we currently don't know, but for your own safety dear I think it's best that you suspend yourself from looking for anymore part time jobs"

"What?! But mom!" I try to protest but mom interrupts.

"No buts Emily. This is for your own safety. I am also giving you a 10 O'clock curfew."

"What?!" Okay now mom was taking it too far. "But Mom what if…"

"The only excuse will be, if you were fighting a monster from the Dark Nebula" Mom says "Understand?"

I wanted to shout, no! this is totally unfair! But I didn't. She was my mom and I know she's just looking out for me. No matter how unfair she was being. I could not win this argument.

"…I understand" I tell her hanging my head in defeat.

"I know you think I'm being unfair but…" Mom started but Artemis stopped her.

"Actually Mina you are being a little harsh. The girl is sixteen. I agree with the no jobs thing but if she's just with her friends and not alone… I don't think she really needs a curfew" Thank you Artemis I might be saved.

"Who's side are you on?" Mom then asked glaring at Artemis.

"Look all I'm saying is, that you're taking it too far. Mina she's a kid and a good one at that. You're treating her like a delinquent." Mom sighed at this realizing Artemis was right probably.

"…So um does this mean no curfew?" I then ask nervously.

"As long as you stay with your friends I guess you're safe." Mom finally says with a sigh.

"Thanks Mom!" I tell her with a hug.

"You're welcome sweetie now go wash up, we're going out for dinner tonight" Mom states.

"Hey! What about me I'm hungry too." Artemis then complained knowing he couldn't even come in his human form without gossip about mom having a boyfriend spreading.

"We'll bring you back something okay Artemis?" I then tell him as I head to the staircase.

"Fine." Artemis grumbled as he too his cat form again and went back to the couch to sulk.

"Be ready soon mom" I call down to her as I head for the shower.

The next day after school, the girls and I met at the VR hut. Mom told me this place used to be an arcade for classic video games. Though I couldn't imagine this place not having Virtual reality. Though the reason the girls and I were here, was not to play the newest VR game, Art of the Sword. It was to discuss what happened with our parents. We were all a little hurt that our moms had not included us in their meeting, we were Sailor Guardians too.

"I can't believe they called a meeting like that without us." Kara said. "Do they not think we can handle it just because technically we're still kids?"

"It's like our moms have forgotten that they were fighting dangerous threats when they were our age." I then comment.

"I don't think that's the reason." Jasmine states. "Our mothers' families didn't know they were Sailor Guardians. So, they couldn't put boundaries like that when they started out. But with us we were born into this life, while we didn't start until we were twelve. Our parents know the dangerous we face on a regular basis so they are just worried."

"More like paranoid." Evelyn then said in an annoyed tone. "Can you believe my mom is forbidding me from dating Nester unless we go on group dates?!"

"My mom and dad said the same thing about me and Helios" Rini groaned. "But what was even worse was they suggested I get a bodyguard"

"They are taking it way too far. Mom was going to give me a curfew until Artemis talked her out of it." I tell them.

"Yeah Diana and Luna talked my parents out of the bodyguard" Rini then said.

"I wish I had a cat guardian in my house." Kara complained. "Mom and dad don't want me going to sewing club anymore! How am I supposed to finish my latest design without my favourite club!"

At that Kara took out her design book. Where she drew sample designs for outfits she would create. Kara wants to be a fashion designer since unlike her mom she cannot cook. Though Kara is the best designer I know. she made all her outfits herself and has even designed some things for my mom to wear.

"Mom told me it would be safer if I studied chemistry at home than go to my science club." Jasmine then said. Jasmine wanted to be a chemist and maybe discover a new type of medicine to help her family since her grandparents and her mother were all doctors.

"We need to do something to show our parents they are worrying over nothing." Evelyn then says.

"Yeah but what can we do?" I reply before I hear my cell phone ring. I take it out and answer it. "Hello?"

"Hi Emily? This is Mrs. Roberts. I was wondering are you free tonight? Mr. Roberts and I are kind of desperate for a night out and we need a babysitter." Mrs. Roberts tells me on the phone.

"Babysitter… I don't know" I tell her uncertainly, mom made it clear she didn't want me doing being alone anymore. Plus what if a monster attacked while I was watching the kids?

"Oh please you're the only person we really trust with our children."

I thought about it and perhaps this was a way we could prove to our parents they didn't have to worry.

"Okay what time?" I then ask Mrs. Roberts. "And can I bring one of my friends?"

"Sure I guess anyway see you at 7 O'clock Emily. Thank you so much" With that Mrs. Roberts hung up. I turned back to my friends.

"Uh what did you just sign one of us up for?" Kara asked.

"You and I will go babysit Hayley and Tobey." I then tell Kara.

"Our parents clearly stated no jobs or clubs!" Jasmine then said.

"I know, but how about we prove them wrong." I tell them.

"How do we do that?" Evelyn then asks sounding intrigued.

"I'll go babysit with Kara and you and Rini go on a double date while Jasmine chaperones." I then explain. "After we ask our parents for a chance to prove ourselves."

"I don't think this is going to work they're too worried." Rini says with a sigh. "I don't think they will."

"We have to try Rini" Kara says frustrated. "I'm in."

"Me too I want to go on dates with Nester alone" Evelyn replied.

"I agree. What do you say Rini?" Jasmine then asks our pink haired friend.

"Fine I'm in too let's give this a try" Rini says and we put our hands in a pile so we agree we're all in.

By some miracle our parents agreed to this trial compromise. Though mom and I argued about it for at least an hour before she finally agreed. Kara and I met before 7 so she could sew something special for the kids at my request. One thing you should know is that Hayley and Tobey adore two things. Me and Sailor V. A few years ago someone wrote a series of Manga books about my mother's adventures and are currently working on one for Sailor Moon. Later this Manga was turned into an anime and it happens to be Hayley and Tobey's favourite show.

So, I had Kara make the kids costumes so they could act out their favourite scenes. We both had our communicators with us just in case though hopefully nothing will happen.

We arrive at the Roberts' place just before seven. They tell us where the emergency numbers were and when they would be back home and of course giving us money to order a pizza.

"Thanks so much for agreeing to do this Emily and you as well Kara." Mr. Roberts then says.

"We do hope you two won't bore the kids with girl talk though" Mrs. Roberts then comments with a giggle. "Save that for bed time"

"Don't worry you can trust us you two have a good time" I tell them and Kara nods beside me.

"Yeah we got this your little ones are in good hands." She then tells them.

"Again thank you girls." Mr. Roberts thanks us again before yelling upstairs. "Hayley! Tobey! Emily and her friend are here!"

"We'll see you girls later, bye." With that Mr. and Mrs. Roberts leave just as the two most adorable kids ever come down the stairs.

"Emily!" They both squeal and tackle me in a hug. Tobey is five years old while his sister is seven. Both are adorable.

"Whoa" I giggle. "Careful you'll knock me over someday."

"Sorry Emily" Hayley apologizes as she and her brother release from their hug.

"Who she?" Tobey then asks pointing at Kara.

"That is Kara. She'll be assisting me tonight" I explain to the kids.

"She will be?" Hayley asks curious. I had never brought one of my friends over to help me babysit before, so I could understand that both kids were slightly curious.

"Yep and I brought gifts munchkins!" Kara then says before showing them the costumes she had sewed for them. They're eyes light up like the it was Christmas day.

"Whoa! Are those…" Tobey asked looking amazed by the costumes. They were quite amazing, and detailed. Ace's costume was all white with his four aces in the belt. And of course, the white mask that was like Tuxedo Mask's. Mom's old costume was white, blue and red. Accessories included a crescent compact a red mask and of course mom's red ribbon.

"Yep they're costumes of Sailor V and Ace." I tell them with a smile "I had Kara design and make them for you two"

"Wow! Thank so much Kara!" Hayley says before she and Tobey hug Kara.

"You're welcome munchkins now go on, go try them on." Kara says and in two seconds flat the kids grab the costumes and then race upstairs to try their new costumes on.

"Told you they'd love them" I tell Kara.

"Yeah you did. And so far, so good hopefully things stay this way." Kara then says.

"Don't jinx it Kara" I tell her as I go to order a pizza.

After we eat, Kara starts sketching new designs in her book while I watch the kids play as Ace and Sailor V. Ace wasn't always a bad guy. In fact, in the past when the moon kingdom was still thriving Ace lived on Venus. He was soldier on Venus and had been in love with my mother who was the Princess of Venus back then. Only my mom had eyes for another so when everyone was reborn on Earth, Ace thought he could finally win her over. Only one small problem. Ace had been brainwashed by the Dark Kingdom just as King Darien's knights had been. And he had been the leader of a smaller group known as the Dark Agency.

Ace though was still in love with my mother. This I believe is what helped him break free of the brainwashing enough so he could remember the past. Only He was still destined to kill my mother. So, when he faced her he made her make a choice. My mother said he wasn't trying to kill her, but instead force her to kill him. My mom has regretted that act since it happened. Because she had killed a man that she loved.

I am pulled out of my thoughts when I notice Tobey and Hayley have stopped playing and were looking out the window.

"Hey what you looking at" I ask them as I walk over to the window and pale. "Kara you may want to come look at this"

"What is it Em… Oh my… seriously now?!" Kara exclaims as she sees what I see. A man with wild white hair and green skin wearing a getup from the 80's.

"E-Emily why Kara freaking out… what is that?" Tobey then asks sounding scared.

"Don't worry Tobey we won't let anything happen to you and Hayley." I tell him before picking the child up to comfort him. "Kara I'll take the kids upstairs you make a call okay?"

"Yeah sounds like a plan hurry back down Em" Kara says before running outside.

"What's going on?" Hayley then asks as I take her and her brother to the attic. "Emily I'm scared"

"Don't worry you'll be okay just hide out here okay. Kara and I will handle this." I tell them calmly, getting ready to head back downstairs when I feel little hands clinging to my legs.

"Wh-what do you mean?! D-don't leave us!" Hayley whimpers as she clings to me.

"Yeah please don't. Sailor Guardians come save us." Tobey then says. Like his sister he too was clinging to my leg. I know they were scared but I needed to go help my friends.

"Yes well one problem with that…" I begin to say then my communicator goes off, it's Kara.

"Emily get down here! I need assistaaaaaanceee!" Kara screamed and I heard a lot of static.

"Crap!" I mutter under my breath. This is bad but what do I do the kids are terrified!

"E-Emily?" Tobey whimpers. "Sailor V save us, right?"

"And Kara?" Hayley then asks with fear in her voice. I have no choice. I needed to go save Kara and the only way I would be getting out of here to help is if I showed the kids the truth.

"She will kids. Because… can't believe I'm doing this." I mutter before taking out my transformation stick. "Venus Power Make-Up!"

The mark of Venus appears on my forehead before turning into a tiara. My civilian clothes then change into a sailor suit with orange. As well as golden heart chain around my waist.

"Emily?... You're Sailor V?!" Hayley says in both awe and shock.

"…Yes, well I am now." I tell them. I would have to explain later. "But please you two cannot tell anyone."

"W-we won't" Tobey says in awe. Though he nods in understanding, he and Hayley then let go of me. "Go kick butt!"

"I will you two, please stay here and be safe." I tell them before run downstairs and head outside.

When I got to the battle everyone looked worse for wear, Kara more so though since she was the first to arrive. Looks like I arrived just in time. Though what is this monster capable of? Kara looked ready to collapse, and that's when I notice the monster zeroing in on her to take advantage of her weakness and finish her of. Not on my watch.

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" I yell and hit the monster square in the chest. This caused the 80's looking Rockstar to look my way.

"Who are you?!" The beat says angrily. He obviously had not liked that I had ruined his chance to kill one of us.

"I am the Pretty Guardian who fights for Love and Beauty. I am Sailor Venus! In the name of Venus, I shall punish you, with the power of Love!"

"The only ones getting punished are you Sailor Guardians!" The monster cried out and the wind started to pick up. I don't like looks of this. "Let's see if you can fly!"

"Everyone hang on to something!" Rini cried out as she hung on for dear life to a lamp post.

Kara hid behind a mail box but hung on to it just in case, Jasmine and Evelyn both hung onto a tree that was close by as the wind began to pick up even more so. The wind was slowly turning into a tornado and trying to suck us all into its vortex. I was looking for something to hang onto when I was suddenly lifted of my feet by the wind.

"AHHH!" I screamed out as I was pulled into the tornado.

"Emily!" The girls cried out in worry as I was tossed around by the force of the vortex. Rocks and branches hitting me as I was lifted higher and higher until I was at least…. Oh I don't know, fifty feet in the air!

"HAHAHAHAHA" The master of wind cackled "Well looks like you can fly! Now let's see how your landing skills are!" The demon said with an evil grin before snapping his fingers.

The tornado keeping me in the air then suddenly disappeared and gravity took its hold on me, making me drop like a rock. For what must go up…. Must also go down. No matter how much I didn't like it. I am going to die.

"No! Emily!" Rini screamed as I plummeted down to the Earth about to become Venus Pancake! "We have to save her come girls!" Rini instructed only the monster had other plans.

"Don't think so girls!" he then knocked them back with the power of the wind. "You have to deal with me first! You can't fight me and save your friend!"

With that the girls fought the wind demon. I on the other hand was trying to think of a way to save myself but, it was hard to concentrate when I was horrified that this might be the end. All I could manage to do was scream in terror as fell. I closed my eyes and swore I saw my life flash before my eyes. Funny how many parts of my life were of me almost dying. Then suddenly as I brace for impact, I notice that I'm not falling anymore.

I open my eyes and see I am now only a few inches off the ground but I haven't made impact. It was as if I suspended in mid-air, almost like someone was holding me there. Before I can ponder this strange miracle, it released me and I hit the ground but I was alive. But who saved me? I look around seeing if anyone there was anyone who could have done that. But I saw no one. I wanted to look around more but then I heard the screams of my friends. They needed my help. I could look for my mystery hero later.

I ran over to where the wind demon was and through my chain like a lasso to tie him up.

"Venus love chain encircle!" I shout as my chain ties him up

"Em you're alive!" Jasmine exclaims with a smile as the rest of them try and catch their breath.

"Yeah I am by some miracle" I tell her with a small smile of my own. "But now is not the time to celebrate, it's time to kick butt!"

"I agree!" Evelyn said looking ready to attack. "Allow me demonstrate! Mars Mystical Fire Blast!"

Purple flames engulfed the demon as the others then readied to attack.

"Now I'll cool him down! Mercury Bubbles blast!" Jasmine said as her water bubbles hit the demon.

"My turn! Jupiter Thunder crash!" Lightning then zapped the monster by Kara's attack.

"Finish it Rini!" I shout almost losing hold of the demon as he screamed and struggled in pain.

"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" Rini shouted as her pink heart shaped scepter as pink hearts slammed the monster and he turned to moon dust.

"Whew. We did it." Evelyn says panting. We all had scratches and were worn out but we were alive.

"Emily tell us how did you save yourself?" Kara then asks me. "We thought you were a goner especially when we couldn't help you"

"I didn't…I was falling then suddenly I wasn't. I was suspended in midair just in time then whoever did that let me go. But I didn't see anyone around. It was so weird." I try to explain even if it sounded crazy.

"Is there someone out there? Like us?" Jasmine ponders. "Are there perhaps others with powers like us?"

"It's possible but the other Guardians don't have children." Rini then says she is best friends with Sailor Saturn. Hotaru though had been reborn again when we were children and saved our lives with her strongest attack. Not only had it killed the alien but her as well. Though being the Guardian of rebirth as well as destruction has its perks. So, Hotaru was a child again and being raised by the other outer guardians. Haruka and her wife Michiru, or Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. As well as Setsuna, Sailor Pluto guardian of the Space-Time gate.

"Then who saved Em?" Evelyn questioned then in a spooky voice said. "Perhaps it was a ghost ooooh."

"Knock it off Eve." I say with a tired giggle. "Well whoever or whatever it was, I'm grateful they saved my life."

"Yeah we're all grateful for that Em" Kara said with a grin. "You made sure the kids were somewhere safe, right?"

"Yeah I did, but we better get back. Don't want their parents to come back to find we're not there and the kids are hiding in the attic." I tell her as I change back.

"Yeah need to let Helios I'm okay and see how he's doing keeping Nester busy." Rini told us as she and Evelyn got ready to leave.

"Yeah hopefully Nester didn't freak when we just disappeared like that" Evelyn says. "I really like him and I don't want him to break up with me over this secret."

"Don't worry Eve if he's the one, he'll love you no matter what" I reassure her. "Anyway catch you later girls"

With that Kara and I head back to the Roberts' house.

When at the house Kara and I clean ourselves up. I tell her she can rest on the couch while I put the kids to bed. I was exhausted but she was in worse shape than I was. Even if I did almost crash and die today.

As I put Hayley and Tobey to bed I explained everything to them. How my mom was a Sailor Guardian and the original Sailor V. How me and my friends were now the new Sailor Guardians, including Kara.

I know I was breaking every rule in the book right now, but these two kids were important to me. I wanted them to know the truth.

"So, you save the day with Sailor Moon every day?" Tobey then asks with a yawn.

"Yep. Now remember you can't tell anyone" I tell Tobey tapping his nose lightly. I have babysat these two darlings many times before. I had hoped I wouldn't bring them into my sort of chaos.

"We won't Emily." Hayley told me as she snuggled her blanket.

"We love you" They both say at the sametime. I swear I have a tear rolling down my face.

"I love you too, Hayley and Tobey. Sweet dreams." I tell them before kissing them on their foreheads.

I then head downstairs where I had expected to find Kara crashed out on the couch. Instead though she was sitting upright watching T.V. More than likely waiting fpr me.

"You told them?" Kara asked.

"Uh I-I can explain" I try to but Kara cuts me off.

"Relax, I figured you would." She told me and I was surprised by this answer.

"You did?"

"Yeah. Thought about it and wondered, how you got out of here without the munchkins crying their eyes out."

"Yeah I had to transform in front of them." I tell her with a sigh and go to sit beside her. "you aren't mad?"

"Nah anyone of us would have done the same in your position." Kara tells me and yawns. She must be exhausted. What with making the costumes, then helping me keep Tobey and Hayley entertained. The that monster wind demon. "though we should probably wait on telling the others just yet"

"Agreed" I say and we continue watching T.V until Mr. and Mrs. Roberts come home. Kara and I then head home. Though as we do I can't help but wonder who saved me, and more importantly why the Dark Nebula wanted us dead so badly.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Alright that wraps up another chapter. And we now have questions like why would the Dark Nebula send assassins? Also, who saved Emily? Won't give those answers just yet. This is EspeonAuraGirl telling you all to stay tuned.
