Rini kept a close eye on Aurora, especially when the girl was around Lena. Ashlynn, Rini learned, was very sweet, but rarely gave her attention to the younger kids and Sammy could be trusted to watch them without problems.
She knew Lena would almost always go to Jill and Spencer if she needed help, but that Sara was her best friend.
In the month following vacation Lena disappeared several times and ran away once. Rini remembered frantically searching the city only to find Lena screaming as Aurora swatted her in their bedroom.
After that Rini brought Lena to her bedroom and shared. The little girl spent all her time in the presence on either Rini or the Chibi scouts, safe under watchful eyes.
Exactly three months from Lena's arrival Ellie, age eight, arrived. Ellie was a cute little blonde that gave Gloria all kinds of trouble. She took Gloria's things, snitched to Mina about pranks and, like Lena, stuck to her like glue.
The three young girls would often obsess over little things, the Chibi scouts, what was for dinner, and especially the sky, which seemed to fascinate all of the cousins.
"I've been here three months now, and I still don't believe it's blue" Lena told Rini one night as her hair was being brushed. "The others won't care though"
"What others?" Rini asked curiously. There were so many kids in the palace, how could there be more?
"The last three will be here soon. Stella, Caeleigh and Tamsin." But that was the last that Rini could get out of her before Lena crawled under the blanket and fell asleep.
Rini wrote all the names on her list and figured that one had to be related to Puu, and the other to Lita. She already knew Stella was Lena's sister.
After telling Rini the names of the remaining three girls Lena became a bit more guarded, she started spending small amounts of time with Gloria and Annika, and then branching out to Madelyn, Ariel, and Daisy.
She even got Faith to teach her baseball and Hope to teach her piano. Maggie even began teaching Lena to read, although the child preferred Rini to read to her, especially before bed.
The weather began to get warmer and monster attacks began happening more often. Although Lena was rarely around when this happened mysterious scouts appeared. The same ones from before, Sailors Solar Sun, Elysian Mars and Elysian Saturn.
Sometimes they stopped the youmas before the Chibi / Cosmic Scouts, but Rini remembered the day that they didn't do anything with rage.
Ariel had come across Lena in the palace. The younger girl stood staring at the sky, something she hadn't done since the first few weeks she arrived.
"I want my mommy. I want my sky. I want to go home." She was crying Ariel realized, and she was so focused on the sky that she didn't know the older girl was there. She screamed. "I want my mom" over and over again. Ariel was shocked and couldn't believe it. Lena was a mess.
Frozen, Ariel didn't even move as Aurora came in and slapped Lena. "Will you stop that! You're not going to ever see mom again if I can't get my work done! Stella will end up coming here and then we'll be doomed! Is that what you want?" Stella slapped the girl until Lena dissolved in a fit of hiccups.
By the time that Ariel had found Rini and explained Lena was gone. The Cosmic scouts searched the city, and were overwhelmed when they found Lena.
Solar Sun was already there with two troops, Elysian Mars and Saturn. Elysian Venus led Chibi Cosmic Neptune, Uranus, and the smallest scout Chibi Cosmic Mercury. Both sets were scouts that the Cosmic scouts had run into, but Cosmic Moon preferred the latter set.
Dozens of youmas surrounded an unconscious Lena as three more scouts arrived. They would later be introduced as Elysian Moon, Jupiter and Pluto, but what had horrified Rini was that both Solar Sun and Elysian Moon turned away from Lena leaving the poor little girl defenseless.
Cosmic Moon was overwhelmed, as was her team and the younger Elysian scouts. Lena disappeared with a dozen youmas around her just as Sailors Mercury, Mars, and Pluto showed up to help the younger scouts retreat.
A/N I'm sorry if this is confusing but the Chibi Cosmic Scouts are 3rd Gen. The Chibi/ Cosmic Scouts are 2nd Gen.
