"Mamo-Chan, do you love me?" Usagi asked as she walked through the park with her boyfriend and the other five inner senshi. "Of course I do, Usako. You know that," He replied as he put his arms around her shoulders. "Would you two knock it off?! Luna and Artemis said that there was a strange energy here in the park and that it could possibly be a new enemy," Rei scolded them. "Shut up, Rei-Chan! Just because your boyfriend isn't here-" "Both of you stop!" Chibi-Usa yelled.
"You guys are making my head ache!" For a few minutes they all walked in silence, listening, then Rei suddenly stopped. "That energy's close by. It's over towards the fountain." "Are you sure?" Makoto asked. "Hai, I'm sure," Rei replied. Quickly they moved to the fountain and spread out, looking for the source of the energy. "Minna! Over here!" They all heard Chibi-Usa yell. Chibi-Usa stared down wide eyed at Hotaru, one hand over her mouth. "What is it?" Usagi asked as she rushed over towards the pink haired girl, then looked down at the bench. "Oh my god!" "It's Hotaru!" "She doesn't look very good." "Let's get her back to the temple." "Someone call Haruka and the others!"
Back on the Negamoon
"Hotaru! Hotaru, where are you?!" Sapphire's yells could be heard throughout the kingdom as he looked for Hotaru, his blue eyes filled with worry. From their balcony, Esmeraude and Dimando watched, Diamndo's arms wrapped around Esmeraude's waist. "Soon we'll have them back together and then the kingdom will be stronger than before," Esmeraude murmured as she took a sip of wine from the glass that she held in her hand. Nodding in agreement, Dimando smirked, "this plan will work.."
Cherry Hill Temple
Hotaru groaned as she moved one hand to her head, wondering where she was. "Hotaru-Chan! You're ok!" Opening her eyes, she saw a pink haired girl rush over to her and hug her. "Wha..? Who are you?" Hotaru asked as she pulled away from the girl's grasp. "Hotaru? It's me! Chibi-Usa!" "Chibi-Usa..? I'm sorry, but I don't know you." Sitting up, Hotaru looked around the room she was in as eight other girls walked into the room, non of whom she recognized except for one. "HARUKA-PAPA!" She jumped out of the bed that she was in and ran towards the tall, blonde haired woman.
Blinking, Haruka caught Hotaru in her arms and hugged her tightly, "Hotaru-Chan…" Hotaru hugged her back just as tightly, "Ruka-Papa! I missed you so much!" Smiling, Haruka held the teenaged Hotaru tightly, "And I've missed you too, Hotaru. We all have." "Yeah, Hotaru, we all have," Usagi said. "Haruka-Papa, who are all these people?" "You don't know us, Hotaru?" Minako asked. Shaking her head, Hotaru replied "No, gomen." "Chibi-Usa, don't feel so bad. After Hotaru was reborn you know she was taken from us when she was only 2 years old." Setsuna said as she put her arm around the pink haired girl who nodded her head. "You're right, Puu.."
Wincing slightly, Hotaru held her head within one hand. "Hotaru?" "I'm fine.. Just a headache.." The scouts exchanged worried glances and looked back to Hotaru. "So, Hotaru.. Where have you been lately? We couldn't find any traces of you what-so-ever." "Up on the Negamoon." "THE NEGAMOON!?" the scouts exclaimed and Hotaru blinked "something wrong with that?" "Hotaru! That family only almost totally destroyed Crystal Tokyo in the future, and they almost killed Mommy and Daddy!" Chibi-Usa exclaimed.
"The NegaMoon's back?! Hotaru, how old are you?!" Usagi exclaimed. "18 this January…" Hotaru mumbled. "Man I feel old.." Haruka mumbled and held her back. Hotaru's mind wandered back to Saffiru and then what Dimando and Esmeraude did. "Vengence shall be mine.." Hotaru thought to herself as her eyes darkened a couple shades. Chibi-Usa watched Hotaru silently and saw her eyes darken, "Hotaru.. What's wrong?" The others looked up to Hotaru and Haruka pressed her lips together to form a thin line.
"Nothing." Hotaru mumbled. "Out of curiosity, Hotaru, how did you get back here to Earth?" Setsuna asked as she looked at her. Grinding her teeth together, her eyes darkened again as Hotaru tried to control her temper, "Dimando and Esmeraude plotted against me because Saffiru and I.. Because they wanted Saffiru and Prisma to get back together and Saffiru refused." "I see.." Setsuna mumbled and crossed her arms over her chest as she leaned against the wall.
"So the NegaMoon's back? Great! That means Dimando's probably going to come after me again and try to make me fall in love with him!" Usagi exclaimed.
