Of course, I do not own Sailor Moon, Tenchi, or the Chibi Scouts or other characters created by Angel Raye.

That said, I would like to thank Naoko Takeuchi, Angel Raye, and the creators of Tenchi Muyo and Tenchi Universe for all the wonderful characters that I'm borrowing in this story!

And as always:

Thanks to all my readers, reviewers, and fans!

No Need For Chibi Scouts!

Chapter 2:

"Alright!" Chibi Jupiter demanded. "Just who are you and what do you want with us?"

Washu put her hands up and smiled disarmingly. "Easy now... I'll try to answer your questions as best I can... But I need you to answer some questions also."

"Like what?" Chibi Venus asked. She could see that Jupiter was still a little hostile, but Gloria's instincts were beginning to suggest to her that this person might not be an enemy.

"Well... For starters, tell me what you three were doing in inter dimensional space like that." Washu suggested.

"Inter dimensional space?" Gloria questioned in confusion.

Washu nodded. "That's where you were when I found you and brought you here..." She shook her head as she saw the expressions on the girls' faces. "Don't tell me... If you weren't using some kind of dimensional teleporter...?" Their faces told her they hadn't.

"A weapon of some kind..." Washu concluded.

After exchanging a glance at Chibi Jupiter, Gloria nodded. If this was not the enemy, perhaps she could help them get home...

"You've done well Gralla." Phantos congratulated his servant. "I find three senshi eliminated an acceptable exchange for the loss of one youma. Is there any chance of repairing the dimension gun before our planned assault on Serenity's palace?"

"I am afraid not, my lord. It will take two or three weeks to replace all the damaged components." Gralla reported.

Phantos listened impassively. "I see." He said. "Nevertheless..." He brightened. "It has served me well. The attack will be launched as scheduled." Phantos informed as his eyes shone in anticipation. Very soon Serenity! Your kingdom will be mine...

"I Can't believe it!" Rei cried in anguish. "How can they be gone just like that?" Mina and Makoto also had the same shocked disbelief on their faces.

"Do not despair Rei... There is still Hope." Sailor Pluto spoke. "Remember Brooke?" She asked Rei gently. Rei nodded.

"I have not yet detected any shift in the timestream... That can only mean that they are all still alive somewhere." Pluto told them all. "The future is not yet lost. We must have hope..."

"So can you help us get home?" Annika asked Washu anxiously after the three girls were done relating where they had come from and how they had arrived in the void when Washu had found them.

Washu nodded. "I think so... In theory, it should be quite simple. All we have to do is locate the universe you came from and then my interdimensional transporter will be able to return you with little difficulty." Washu sighed. "The problem is that it will take time to locate your exact universe... Infinity is a pretty big number to search through you know."

Gloria put a supportive arm around Annika as Chibi Mars turned pale at the news.

"However..." Washu added. "I can set up a search program. It will probably take a few days to find the right universe... But we will find it. I promise you. In the meantime you three girls are welcome to stay here. I just need to call my favorite little guinea pig and let him and his father and grandfather know we have guests."

"Guinea pig?" Gloria exchanged glances with Daisy. Just what sort of place is this...? They wondered.

A few minutes later, Ryoko and Ayeka were complaining loudly indeed...

"What? Washu wants to bring more girls into this house?" Ryoko exclaimed. "Counting Her Royal Lowness, we've got too many strays already!" She said shooting a glance at Ayeka.

"They're probably riffraff just like you Ryoko!" Ayeka shot back.

"Wait a minute! Both of you!" Tenchi hollered, quieting them momentarily. "You didn't let me finish." He said in frustation. "They arrived here on accident and they're just kids anyway." He informed glaring at them. "The oldest is only eleven and the other two aren't even ten. So calm down will you?"

"I think it would be nice to have some girls my age around here!" Sasami perked up.

"Myia!" Ryo Ohki added in agreement.

Tenchi smiled. "Okay Washu! You can bring them out now!" Tenchi called out.

The door to Washu's lab opened and Washu escorted the three girls out into the living room. They had reverted from their senshi forms and Daisy and Gloria were looking about curious. Annika meanwhile hesitating and staying behind the other girls.

"Gee... Kinda small." Gloria commented. That lab looked HUGE! But the rest of this place looks like it could fit inside the main ballroom.

"I don't know." Daisy replied. "I like it."

Gloria noticed the scrutinizing looks coming from Ayeka and Ryoko. She walked right over to the Cyane haired pirate. "So who are you?" She asked.

Brassy one... Ryoko thought. "I'm Ryoko, The Devil Caller." She replied with a grin.

Uh huh...Gloria thought. Like that's supposed to impress me?

Don't let her try to intimidate you with that She's just a washed up old demon..." Ayeka cut in.

Ryoko gave a nasty look at Ayeka. Gloria smiled to herself. "So just how old are you anyway?" She asked.

You little upstart! Ryoko strained to get her annoyance under control, knowing that it only fed Ayeka's amusement. "Didn't your mother ever teach you not to ask questions like that?"

"Gee." Gloria stared at her. "That old huh?"

Why that little! Ryoko seethed. She's rude, obnoxious... Ryoko thought, sensing a kindred spirit. I think I like this kid!

Daisy rolled her eyes and chose to ignore Gloria as best as possible and turned to Tenchi and Sasami. He's kinda cute... She thought for a brief moment with an embarrassed grin. "Hi! I'm Daisy! Um... We're kind of hungry about now... If someone could show me where the kitchen is, I'm a pretty good cook."

"Sure!" Sasami answered. "I'm Sasami! it's nice to meet you! I was just about ready to start fixing dinner! Follow me!"

Daisy nodded, but as Sasami began to lead Daisy to the kitchen, Ryo Ohki jumped down from Sasami's shoulder. "Myia." She said to Sasami and looked at the Violet haired girl still standing next to Washu...

Oh momma! Annika thought. I miss you momma...
