Chapter 25: A Dentist of Terror? PallaPalla's House

Time passes...

"Zirconia." Nehellenia started.

"Yes, my lady, Queen Nehellenia." Zirconia replied.

"Have you found the one with the Golden Mirror, where Pegasus is hiding?" Nehellenia inquired.

"Well, that is still to come." Zirconia replied.

"Just how long do you intend to make me wait?" Nehellenia asked. "I don't have that long a fuse. Find it without a moment's delay. And I want in my hands the Golden Crystal from the Pegasus. Understood"

"Yes." Zirconia bowed.

In the Dead Moon massage parlor...

"Come on, play with me." PallaPalla whined. "Come on! Come on!"

"Shut up." VesVes scolded. "Oh yeah, right there." she squealed when the masseur hit a sore spot.

"We don't have the time to play along with children." CereCere agreed.

"If you want to play that much, do it yourself." JunJun added.

"You little...!" Zirconia appeared in front of them. "Do you have any desire to do work seriously?

"Oh, we're always ready to go." CereCere replied.

"Old hags are always so hasty." VesVes added.

"Oh, I hate it. I don't want to grow any older." JunJun taunted.

"Oh, I've been waiting for you, Zircon." Zirconia looked at the returning bat. "Now hurry and present me with a picture of the target. What's wrong?" she asked when the bat remained unresponsive. "It can't be that you couldn't find a target? What a mess. You're the only one I can rely on right now."

"You really are useless." VesVes mocked as the girls burst out laughing.

"Here we are, cracking our knuckles in anticipation." CereCere added.

"But if there's no target, there's no way for us to work." JunJun pointed out.

"SHUT UP!" Zirconia hollered. "Sheesh, you're all so..."

"It hurts!" PallaPalla played make-believe with her dentist doll set. "It hurts! Are you alright? It hurts! This is a problem. It hurts. We have no choice."

"PallaPalla." Zirconia voiced.

"What is it?" PallaPalla blinked.

"What are you doing?" Zirconia twitched.

"Well, nobody would play with me, so I'm playing alone." PallaPalla replied. "And this girls has a toothache. And this is the dentist." she showed Zirconia the two dolls. "It hurts." she continued her play. "Oh, let's see."

"Sheesh, what is up with this girl?" JunJun sighed.

"She's just immature." VesVes shrugged.

"She looks so stupid." CereCere added.

"It hurts." PallaPalla continued her play. "I see, if you can't tolerate the pain..." her grin turned evil. "We'll take your head off!" she pulled the female doll's head off. "See, it doesn't hurt anymore. Oh, it doesn't hurt anymore. Thanks."

"She's..." VesVes started.

"Amazingly..." CereCere added.

"Not one to underestimate." JunJun finished.

"PallaPalla." Zirconia started.

"What is it, old lady?" PallaPalla asked.

"Use your Tama Yura spell to set up a trap and catch an owner of a beautiful dream." Zirconia instructed.

"Is that fun?" PallaPalla gushed.

"It's fun." Zirconia assured. "Go try it out."

"Sure!" PallaPalla beamed.

That night...

"Humans are so pitiful." PallaPalla stated in front of an empty building site. "They have a disease called cavities. But, I'll make it tons of fun. Tama Yura!" she cast the spell with her Amazon Stone. "PallaPalla House – At a Fun Dentist!" at her call, the doll house manifested into a real dental clinic. "Oh, that's right." she remembered something. "I have to set up for my customers. So sweet!" she squealed, taking a taste from a sugar bag. "Fly all over town!" she let the sugar particles loose.

"Mama, my teeth hurt!" a child wailed.

"That's strange, you brush your teeth every day." his mother was confused.

"It hurts!" the child cried.

"It hurts!" pretty soon, cries of pain were heard from the children all across town. "It hurts!"

"This way, PallaPalla House will be very popular." PallaPalla grinned.

The next day...

"Well, there!" Minako tossed the ball to Makoto who caught it.

"There!" Makoto threw the ball at Mamoru who caught it.

"Here we go!" Mamoru tossed the ball at Usagi who caught it.

"There!" Usagi threw the ball at Ami.

"Whoa!" the girls whined when the ball went overhead.

"Small Lady, you don't look so bright today." Psych noted, the group returning from their play.

"My head hurts." Chibi-Usa replied.

"Wouldn't it have been better for you to be asleep at home?" Kore suggested.

"But I was looking forward to Mako-chan's lunch." Chibi-Usa replied.

"I don't know who you're like." Usagi sighed. "But you are so greedy."

"Usagi..." Minako deathpanned.

"If you're the one saying it..." Rei added.

"I know, Chibi-Usa." Makoto stated, when an idea came up. "Maybe things will clear up if you eat cold ice cream."

"OUCH!" Chibi-Usa screamed, after taking a bite of the double ice cream scoop.

"Chibi-Usa, you don't have a headache." Ami corrected, inspecting Chibi-Usa's teeth with a dental mirror.

"You have cavities." Aurora concluded.

"Cavities?" Chibi-Usa echoed.

"You don't know what they are, Chibi-Usa?" Makoto blinked.

"No." Kore answered for the younger chibi Senshi.

"A cavity is a disease where bacteria melts holes in your tooth." Ami explained.

"That's right, Chibi-Usa." Minako taunted. "Scary bacteria use sugar as food, and they make one hole after another in your teeth."

"It's a very scary disease." Usagi agreed. "If you leave it alone, in due time, your jaw will melt away into a goo and you'll die."

"Who are you mimicking?" Ami asked, the rest of the group sweatdropping.

"You, Ami." Minako sighed.

"Sheesh." Usagi complained.

"NO!" Chibi-Usa wailed. "I don't want to die from a strange disease like that!"

"It's not something to worry about much." Rei assured.

"That's right." Ami agreed. "It will be all better if you go to the dentist."

"Really?" Chibi-Usa wiped her tears.

"You're too optimistic, Chibi-Usa." Usagi mocked. "A dentist is a really scary place. You're mistaken if you think you can go to the dentist and come out alive."

"Wait a minute." Ami raised a hand. "Usagi, this is horrible." she inspected Usagi's teeth with her dentist mirror. "It's completely black."

"No, no, no, no, no!" Usagi whined.

"You're overreacting." Rei chided. "Just hurry up and go to the dentist."

"What?" Usagi wailed. "Rei, you can say that because you don't know the horror of the Juuban Dentist!"

"Is the dentist really that scary a place?" Chibi-Usa wondered.

"I don't wanna!" Usagi cried.

"The Juuban Dentist." Minako mused. "I'll agree that it's a scary place."

"It is?" Psych wondered.

"It's a traditional dentist that's been around since 1629." Minako informed. "But, the doctor there... and nobody knows what happened to that patient."

"Oh my god!" Usagi exclaimed.

"You say that, but you need to be treated." Ami reminded.

"And there aren't any other dentists in the area." Minako added.

"Well, we wish you good luck." Makoto remarked.

"NO!" Usagi screamed.

"Thank god we had Dad supervise us when we brush our teeth." Aurora whispered to her twin.

"Yeah." Eos nodded in agreement.

In the Tsukino household...

"We're back." the 'Rabbits' chorused.

"You two!" Ikuko fumed. "Mizuno-san and the others called. What's this about cavities? I told you so many times and you still didn't brush your teeth. I made appointments over at the Juuban Dentist. Go there immediately."

"The Juuban Dentist..." the 'Rabbits' echoed. "NO!" they wailed.

Commercial Break.

Cut to a rocky wasteland, where we can see Frodo Baggins walking, along with Sam, and followed by Gollum.

Frodo: We must hurry, I feel him looking at me.

Sam: What about the other one?

Frodo: That girl? I fear Sauron much more than I fear her.

Gollum: She wants to steal our preciousssss...

Sam: Oh shut up, you freak.

Just then, a girl wearing a white robe, with long, black hair that falls down in front of her, covering her face, appears in front of the group. The three stare at her in a mixture of shock, disbelief and horror.

Girl: I'm sorry, Frodo, but your seven days are up.

VOA: Lord of The Ring. Coming soon.

End Commercial Break.

"Mamo-chan, will you stay at my side the whole time?" Usagi pleaded.

"I'm telling you that I will." Mamoru assured, sweatdropping.

"Will you hold my hand the whole time while I'm getting treated?" Usagi begged.

"Yeah, I hear you. I hear you." Mamoru sighed. "So both of you, stop clinging onto me like that." he added, the camera panning out to reveal the two 'Rabbits' hanging onto him.

"But..." the 'Rabbits' whined. "We're scared. We're nervous."

"What's this?" Mamoru stopped in front of the PallaPalla House. "It's rather crowded."

"Huh?" Usagi blinked. "There's a new dentist here now?"

"It's a huge line." Mamoru noted.

"Cavities are getting around." Chibi-Usa mused.

"If you're here for treatment, please take a ticket and enter the line." the dentist requested.

"So handsome!" Usagi gushed.

"I will treat you, so please come." the dentist added.

"Sure, I'll go." Usagi took the name card. "I'll definitely go. But, but, this is a much cleaner dentist." she defended, hearing Mamoru's growl. "And the dentist seems more reliable too."

In the PallaPalla House...

"Welcome." the nurse greeted at the registration counter. "How many?"

"Oh, three please." Mamoru replied.

"Mamo-chan!" Usagi glared.

"Well, I'll be waiting outside." Mamoru retreated.

"Mamo-chan, you're a liar." Usagi muttered.

"Tsukino-san, please head to the waiting room." the nurse announced.

"Oh yeah, sure." Usagi dragged herself in.

"Stand up straight." Chibi-Usa chided. "You're being embarrassing."

"Eat as much as you want." the nurse led them into a room of sweet foods. "Since we're treating you right after this."

"Wow!" the 'Rabbits' gushed.

Outside...

"Usako, you know that no other woman would ever catch my eye." Mamoru rehearsed his apology speech. "You're such an idiot. You're really... No, 'idiot' is not good. 'Idiot' isn't good."

"Oh Kami, you're gonna get Moon-dusted on sight, man." Kouki smirked.

"Sheesh, she's the one who fell for the handsome dentist." Mamoru pointed out. "But Usako is rather persistent when she get mad."

In the PallaPalla House...

"Wow!" the 'Rabbits' gushed when the nurse led them into the dentist's room.

"Welcome, we've been waiting for you." the dentist greeted. "Sit in any chair you like."

"Sure!" the 'Rabbits' chorused.

"Wow, a cute chair." Chibi-Usa stood before a green elephant chair.

"Nothing less from a state-of-the-art clinic." Usagi had settled herself in.

"Wow, this is amazing!" the 'Rabbits' raved. "It's so fluffy! So pretty! This kinda of makes me happy."

"They're our last targets for today." PallaPalla noted from behind the fish aquarium. "I hope they have beautiful Mirrors of Dreams. Every one of them has been wrong today." she looked at the unconscious children at her feet. "I'm so bored."

Outside...

"Usako, your pearly whites are so bright!" Mamoru continued his rehearsal. "Maybe it's this approach."

"That's strange." Kouki noted, looking at the darkening sky. "It's already this late."

"Wait a minute." Mamoru blinked. "There were that many patients."

"Then why hasn't a single one of them come out?" Kouki wondered.

"Can it be?" Mamoru realized, the two male giving each other a silent nod.

In the PallaPalla House...

"Wait a minute!" the 'Rabbits' exclaimed when they found themselves cuffed to the chairs. "What is this?

"Hello everyone." PallaPalla manifested. "I'm PallaPalla, the ball balancer. Nice to meet you.

"You're...!" Usagi gasped.

"What are you going to do with us?" Chibi-Usa asked.

"Well, I'm looking for the Golden Mirror." PallaPalla replied. "So, I'll take a quick peek at your Mirrors of Dreams."

"What was that?" Chibi-Usa looked at the Amazon Stone in front of her chest.

"Stop joking." Usagi protested.

"I wonder which one should I pick?" PallaPalla wondered, posing to fire her Amazon Stone, billiard-ball style. "I know!" she took aim. "Colliding..." she barely managed to finish her sentence when a rose cut in.

"Jupiter Megavolt!" Dragon Jupiter's attack knocked PallaPalla off the ball.

"What is it?" PallaPalla glared.

"Pure, innocent maidens who love sweet foods." Tuxedo Kaman stated.

"We cannot forgive fake dentists who snare them into an unfair trap." Dragon Jupiter added.

"Tuxedo Kaman!" the 'Rabbits' beamed.

"Sheesh, get rid of them!" PallaPalla ordered.

"Yes!" the dentist and nurse charged.

"Take that!" Tuxedo Kaman released a shower of rose petals.

"Jupiter Megavolt!" Dragon Jupiter combined his attack with the petals, electrocuting the dentist and nurse.

"Are you both alright?" Tuxedo Kaman freed the 'Rabbits'. "Hurry, go and transform."

"Oh sure!" Usagi and Chibi-Usa headed outside.

"Moon Dream Weaver, Make Up!" the two 'Rabbits' transformed.

"Now, you're the only one left." Dragon Jupiter pointed his sword at PallaPalla after he and Tuxedo Kaman defeated the fake dentist and nurse.

"Here we go!" the two males attacked, when PallaPalla knocked them down with her ball.

"I hate you." PallaPalla giggled. "Die."

"I won't let you do that!" Moon declared. "Dentists are scary enough as is."

"I won't let you make them even scarier." Chibi-Moon added.

"For love and justice." Moon stated.

"The pretty Senshi in Sailor suits." Chibi-Moon remarked.

"Moon!" Moon introduced.

"Chibi-Moon!" Chibi-Moon posed.

"In the name of the moon..." Moon posed.

"We'll punish you!" the two chorused.

"You're going to play with me?" PallaPalla blinked.

"We're thinking about defeating you." Moon snapped.

"Oh, I see." PallaPalla noted. "Come here, my Lemure. GariGari-chan, the turbine girl that can play by drilling."

"GariGari-chan!" GariGari manifested. "Do you brush your teeth?" she tossed her spiked weapons at the two Moon Senshi.

"Oh no!" Moon gasped, finding themselves trapped.

"Let me go." Chibi-Moon twitched.

"Good job." PallaPalla encouraged. "GariGari-chan, get them."

"Moon!" Tuxedo Kaman gasped.

"You two sure have a lot of cavities." GariGari noted.

"What are you going to do?" Moon stammered, when GariGari approached them with her drill tail.

"I'll treat those cavities." GariGari replied. "It's alright." she turned evil. "So that you don't get cavities again, I'll drill out all of your teeth."

"This sound echoes deep into the cavities." Chibi-Moon panicked.

"Now, now, here we go." GariGari stood poised.

"NO!" both Moon Senshi wailed, unleashing their 'Supersonic Waves' attack.

"So noisy!" GariGari cried, covering her ears, the soundwaves bringing the entire building down on itself.

"My PallaPalla House!" PallaPalla whined.

"Waking Lighting!" Kore fired a stream of lightning at the Lemure. "Dad, are you alright?" she hurried over to her father.

"Yeah." Dragon Jupiter winced. "Somehow."

"Both of you." Tuxedo Kaman shouted. "Now's your chance!"

"I was able to come down." Moon blinked, the spiked sticks having fallen down. "Here we go."

"Please Pegasus!" Chibi-Moon went in prayer mode. "Protect everyone's dreams! Twinkle Yell!"

"Moon Gorgeous Mediation!" Moon fired her attack at the frozen Lemure.

"Stage Out!" GariGari squealed as the attack washed over her.

"I hate losing." PallaPalla pouted. "So, this is boring." and she vanished via her Amazon Stone.

"The building..." Kore blinked when the building vanished.

"Is gone." Chibi-Moon added.

"Was it just an illusion?" Tuxedo Kaman wondered, looking at the dolls on the ground.

After the battle...

"Huh? What have we been doing?" the freed children wondered. "I thought we were at the dentist. Mama, my teeth don't hurt anymore. Yeah, I'm totally fine. We're fine."

"I'm guessing everyone's cavities were their fault too." Kouki reasoned.

"I see." Usagi beamed. "I wasted energy being worried about them.

"Let's see." Mamoru peered. "You know." he stopped the pending kiss with a finger to the nose. "Your teeth are still black."

"Then, in our case..." Usagi gasped.

"We really have cavities?" Chibi-Usa echoed.

"NO!" the 'Rabbits' wailed.

"Come on, it's alright." Mamoru pacified. "You'll be fine once you go to the dentist."

"By dentist, you mean..." Usagi trailed.

"We're going there, after all?" Chibi-Usa gaped.

"I can't take it anymore!" the 'Rabbits' cried.

"This sound... this smell... I'm scared!" Chibi-Usa wailed.

"Mamo-chan, you promised!" Usagi cried. "My hand – keep holding my hand!"

"Yeah... sure..." Mamoru sighed, sweatdropping.

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review. In the next chapter, Makoto and Minako both fall for an attractive kindergarten teacher, but Minako's all-out attempts to ingratiate herself with him soon annoy Makoto.
