Drabble #10: Skyfall

Request: Reni comes from the future and brings the Senshi's kids

"Don't worry Pluto, we'll be careful."

"And you know how to contact me if there's any trouble, right?"

"Yes, for the thousandth time, yes! You act like this is my first time. Can we go now?"

"Yes, but stay safe Small Lady. Make sure to get lots of training in. And please, try not to drive your mother insane."

The tall woman got on her knees and pulled the little pink-haired child into her arms. Every time she sent the little Princess through time, there was always that small bit of worry in her that something would happen. Small Lady meant the world to her, and she would do everything in her power to keep her safe.

Sailor Pluto stood and lifted her Garnet Orb Staff, feeling the power in her hands as the orb glittered. The Time Gate opened, and the five children standing before her linked hands.

"Do not let go little ones. Stay focused on your destination, and you will find yourself where you desire to be. Good luck!" the Guardian of Time said. The children made sure their grips on each other were tight before jumping through the Time Gate.

Serena, Darien, the Senshi, and Shittenou were enjoying a day of rest and relaxation together. There hadn't been any new enemies since they defeated Nehellenia, but they all had busy schedules. Today was the first day in many that they were all available. Both Luna and Artemis agreed that they deserved some time off from fighting monsters and saving the world.

They picked the perfect spot for their day of relaxation. It was a vacant hill at the very edge of Clearview Park, the most-visited part of Juban. Despite the hill's lack of visitors, the park rangers kept the grass trimmed and flowers watered. It was a very beautiful place with a nice view of the lake and few bothersome insects. It was like their own little paradise.

Serena and Darien sat together away from the others, with Darien's arms wrapped protectively around Serena's body. Her head was snuggled into his chest, and she was staring dreamily up at him. He pretended not to notice that she was poking him and staring up at him. When she least expected it, he attacked; tickling her sides and pinning her to the grass. She giggled and squealed, trying to escape from her boyfriend's strong arms. He finally released her, and she started breathing heavily. "You're…going…to pay…for that," she said between breaths. He chuckled and looked up at the sky, thinking about his beloved daughter who was somewhere in the future.

Rei and Jadeite were arguing about who got the last bite of strawberry shortcake from the picnic basket Lita brought. Rei threatened him with an ofuda scroll, and he put his hands up in surrender. Just as she went to take a bite of the shortcake, Jadeite snatched the fork out of her hands and popped it into his mouth. Rei's mouth dropped open and she narrowed her eyes at him. Before he could defend himself, she tackled him to the ground and they both went tumbling down the hill.

Nephrite had his head in Lita's lap, and she continuously fed him grapes from a container she had brought. Every now and then she would accidentally drop a grape on a place other than his mouth, such as his eye or nose. Every time she missed his mouth, he scowled at her and she would erupt in a fit of giggles. She was known to be a hardcore girl with a lot of strength, but whenever she was with Nephrite, all of that just went away. They rarely got to spend time together with Lita working two jobs to save up for her restaurant and Nephrite taking night school for the culinary arts. Today meant a lot to them, and they wanted to make every moment count.

Mina continuously tried to lower Kunzite's guard. He was always so tense and defensive, and she was determined to win him over to the world of fun and enlightenment. She tried everything in the books: flipping her hair, flirting, batting her eyelashes. But the man just wouldn't avert his eyes from his Prince. He took his job way too seriously. She pouted as she thought of some way to distract him. It finally hit her. She scooted closer to him and slung her arm across his torso, making it seem like she was hugging him. But instead, she moved her hand into his jacket pocket and pulled out his transformation pen. She grasped it tightly in her hand before jumping back and grinning evilly. He realized almost instantly that his pen was missing, and he turned to the culprit. He narrowed his eyes at her before getting up and chasing her around the top of the hill, the two of them laughing the whole time.

Ami and Zoisite were sitting with their shoulders touching as they read a book about advanced physics together. Ami's glasses were falling down her nose, and Zoisite grinned before gently pushing them back up for her. She blushed and leaned her head on his shoulder, finding it hard to concentrate after that. She was always shy whenever she was around Zoisite, because she was afraid of rejection. She loved being around him and cherished everything about him, but she didn't want to mess anything up. He was too important to her. Zoisite, however, was always trying his best to get Ami out of her little protective shell. He really did like her, and he wanted to make her feel comfortable around him. That was what today was about for him.

They were all having fun and enjoying the weather, but none of them were expecting the strange turn of events that was about to occur.

To everyone's surprise, five piercing screams could be heard from above. They all looked up, alarmed, and were amazed at what they saw.

Five little children were falling from the sky at a surprising speed. One little girl landed right on Darien's lap, causing Serena to jump back in surprise. After her shock wore off, Serena noticed that the little girl was in fact her daughter from the future, Reni. She laughed and threw her arms around Reni and Darien, hugging them tightly. She had missed Reni so much, it was almost unbearable. It had only been a few weeks, but that short amount of time seemed like an eternity.

Rei saw one child coming down a few feet in front of her, and she shoved Jadeite to the side before standing and running to catch the child. Thankfully, the child landed safely into Rei's waiting arms. She gasped at the resemblance the little girl had to Jadeite. She had sandy blonde hair just like his, but hers was incredibly long and straight. Jadeite came up behind Rei to get a closer look at the mysterious child. "Wow, her eyes look just like yours Rei," he said. Rei gasped to find that it was true; the little girl had deep violet eyes.

Lita and Nephrite reacted quickly to the little girl falling from the sky before them. Lita instinctively stuck a foot out, while Nephrite extended his hand to the length of Lita's foot. The little girl landed safely with her head in Nephrite's large hand and her feet being supported by Lita's foot. Lita brought her foot back in, taking the girl with her so she could examine her closer. The girl had chocolate brown hair that was up in a ponytail, and she was very tall for her presumable age. Her eyes were a sort of periwinkle color, but a bit darker. Almost like Nephrite's. "She's…almost an exact replica of you, Lita," Nephrite said, his mouth agape.

Mina screamed as she saw the falling child get closer and closer to the ground. She could only imagine the horror if the child wasn't caught. Of course, Kunzite's adrenaline kicked in and he leaped forward, catching the girl and landing on his back with her on his stomach. He looked up at the innocent child, who was smiling at him. Her hair was blonde, but it was very light. A little mint-green bow was in her hair, and her eyes were an electrifying silverish color. Mina got up and ran towards them. "Oh my gosh, Kunzite are you okay?" she said, kneeling down beside him. The little girl looked at her and Mina gasped at her resemblance to Kunzite. The bubbly child smiled and leaped off of Kunzite's chest into Mina's arms.

Ami tossed her book to the side as her and Zoisite stood and ran towards the falling child. They just barely made it in time, but they successfully caught the girl in their arms. The top half of her body was in Ami's arms, and the bottom was in Zoisite's. They both looked down at the tiny girl, who had her eyes squinted shut. Her hair was long and surprisingly the same color as Ami's; ocean blue. It was very wavy and was in a low ponytail. The girl opened her cobalt eyes and gasped. "My glasses! Oh no, I must have lost them!" she squealed, her hands flying to her face. Ami and Zoisite exchanged weird looks, both wondering why this girl resembled them so closely.

Serena pulled away and so did Reni, who had a mischievous glint in her eyes. "What is it?" Darien said, recognizing the look instantly. He had seen tn many times on both Reni and Serena's faces. Reni smiled and nodded her head towards the other four couples, who were grouped together and whispering about the four children who were standing just a few feet away. The color drained from Darien's face while Serena just smiled and shook her head. Reni was so like herself in so many ways. Always scheming; always getting into trouble.

"Did Pluto give you permission to do this?" Darien asked his grinning daughter.

"She sure did! It took a lot of convincing, but I made it work," Reni said with a wink. Serena, Darien, and Reni stood and approached the others.

"Um, excuse me, where are your parents?" Ami asked, bending down a little. The kids all looked at each other and grinned.

"Guys, meet my friends," Reni said, joining the other children.

"My name is Lilly," the tallest girl said with a bow.

"I am Jade," the violet-eyed girl said quietly.

"My name is Zoey, it is a pleasure to finally meet you," the bluenette said, looking pointedly at Ami.

"And my name is Kalina," the blonde said with a slight bow.

"Guys," Reni said with a pause for dramatic effect. "Meet your future children."

Serena and Darien stood together and watched with smirks on their faces as each child ran to their parents. The looks on each of the Senshi and Shittenou's faces was absolutely priceless. It was about time they all got a little taste of what could fall from the sky.
