Role Model

Role Model

Disclaimer: I don't own the Sailor Moon characters. Naoko Takeuchi does. But I do own the idea, as well as the second generation of Scouts that I created, and this excludes Rini/Small Lady/Serena because I didn't create her. ^_^ Got it?

Notes: This is set right after the season where Helios shows up. I will use American names and spellings because I don't know the others. And to further confuse you, I'm gonna call Rini Serena from chapter 3 until the end. (O.o) If you can't keep up, I'll switch it back.

Warnings: Character death. I'm not sure if there are any more, except for maybe language and some violence. Usual couples...including Amara and Michelle. (In my little world, the American versions aren't cousins) And, of course, some Serena (Meatball head Serena, not cotton-candy head, as Rini is so lovingly referred to) bashing. ^_^ Oh, and I hope this doesn't come up but maybe some OOCness.

Chapter 8: The Story Revealed

"We're all from Rini's time," said Carmen, who was the oldest of the unknown Mini-Scouts and could probably tell the story best.

"Sorry, but we can't tell you very much 'cause it'll affect your future…that's what Sailor Pluto said, isn't it?" Anna wondered.

"Exactly," Rini told her.

I still don't get why Senna didn't come," Justin muttered.

"You're just mad because you think she's hot," Allen said with a grin. "Admit it!" Justin's cheeks turned bright red and he didn't say anything.

"Alright, enough," Lita said seriously. "I want to know exactly who you are…right now." The younger children looked at each other.

"Rini, should we tell?" Anna asked.

"I…I don't know," Rini whispered.

"Rini, you are the future leader of the Sailor Scouts and of Crystal Tokyo; take some responsibility!"

"Senna?!" Rini exclaimed. But the others apparently didn't hear the voice, so she sighed and asked mentally,

"Senna, what do you mean?"

"Really Rini, you're not going to be a good leader if you keep this up. Don't be so indecisive; take some responsibility for your actions."

"I'll try," Rini thought.

"I think that we…should tell the Scouts what's going on," she said aloud to her friends.

"Okay then, here goes…" Carmen muttered. "My name's Carmen, and I think you already know that. I'm Sailor Mini-Jupiter. Rini is Sailor Moon in our time. Celia is Mini-Mars, Anna is Mini-Mercury, and Farrah is Mini-Jupiter."

"How did you guys become Sailor Scouts?" Serena asked.

"Well, we're…uh…your, ah…someone else explain," Carmen said hastily.

"We're your daughters from the future," Anna said innocently. "So you taught us all you knew about being Scouts and we fight with you."

"Waitaminute, you're saying that we all have kids in the future?!" Lita exclaimed.

"What about me?" Mina asked. "I don't have a kid?"

"Well, that's not exactly true," Allen said. "You, uh, won't have a daughter…"

"Then who…YOU?! Uhhh…I think I'm gonna pass out!"

"Sailor Uranus and Neptune are…well, you know," Raye said. "So how is it possible that you're Mini-Neptune when she isn't your real mother?" She looked at Farrah.

"I was adopted," Farrah answered. "Uranus adopted my brother, Justin. Um, about the whole Scout thing…she asked me if I was willing to accept the power and become a Scout, and I said yes. So that's how that happened."

"Me and Justin-"

"Justin and I," Mina corrected.

"Once a mother, always a mother," Allen muttered with a shrug.

"Why I oughtta…"

"Cool it, Allen," Carmen snapped. "Don't tease people like that!"

"Anyways, Justin and I can't fight 'cause we're Sailor Scouts, which is prob'ly a good thing since we're guys, after all," Allen blurted out.

"What I want to know is, who's Marenda?" Raye asked.

"She's an agent of the Multiverse," Rini explained. "They collect worlds. They were behind the Negaverse, Negamoon, and the Dark Moon that recently attacked this time. The villains might not have known it, but they were just being toyed with, and each of the worlds used to be good. Until the Multiverse took control of them, that is."

"Now the Multiverse wants to add Crystal Tokyo to its collection," Carmen added, clenching her hands into fists. "And we can't let that happen!"

"Marenda destroyed everything that I fought to protect," Celia said quietly. "Before I could learn to protect it. I'm not gonna let her take anything else."

"Please, you've gotta help us defeat them!" Rini cried. "The whole future is at stake!"

"We have no choice," Lita explained. "We're the Sailor Scouts, we've gotta fight 'em. And we're going to…right?" The other Scouts were quick to agree.

"But for now, I think it's time to get some sleep," Mina pointed out.

"Hey, where'd Andrea go?" Rini wondered. She hadn't been seen since the Mini-Scouts had explained who they were. And now it seemed that she was gone again.

"We'll see her again," Serena said. "I'm sure of it."

"There's so much new information," Raye muttered. "So many things that we didn't know…so the first time that Rini came to the past, she didn't even tell us that the future Sailor Scouts had children?"

"No, it could've messed up the future," Rini explained. "I didn't want to take that risk."

"But now you know," Celia said.

"You can't all stay at my house, you know," Serena pointed out. "Rini, I'm sure that my parents will ask questions…"

"Just say that I'm a friend. My parents are…out of town. So I'm staying with you."

"Good idea," Serena agreed, "So where will the rest of you stay?"

"Celia and Anna could probably stay at the temple," Raye suggested.

"But I want to stay with Amy," Anna objected.

"It's alright with me," Amy said.

"Lita, I want to stay with you," Carmen said quietly. "I mean, you're the best cook and all…"

"Of course," Lita said. "How could I ever turn down a fan?"

"Mina, can Allen and I stay at your place?" Justin asked, looking at Mina.

"Well, yeah, I guess. But no funny business!"

"Farrah, stay with me an' Raye!" Celia suggested.

"Well, if I'm not imposing…"

"Of course not!" Raye exclaimed. "The more, the merrier!" Then Anna gasped.

"Pi-chan is still missing!" she cried.

"Named after the algebraic symbol," Amy said, smiling.

"Y…uh, my mom named him," Anna said shyly.

"That's just like you, Amy," Mina joked. Suddenly a golden retriever bounded up to Anna and jumped on top of her, knocking the young soldier of Mercury to the ground.

"Pi-chan, you came back!"

"A dog as a guardian animal, that's a little strange," Luna muttered.

"Well my guardian is a parrot, is that strange too?" Celia asked.

"I thought that all of the guardians would be cats," Artemis said. "But a parrot is better than another dog."

"Did you bring him with you?" Raye asked.

"Nope, left 'em at home. He didn't want to come anyways," Celia explained.

"Hey Anna, are you super-smart like your mother?" Mina asked.

"Mmmm…nope. Just an ordinary little nine-year-old…well, I kinda got my dad's future-knowing thing," Anna said. "But that's it."

"I wonder if Carmen can cook as well as her mother," Serena muttered.

"Yeah, I can," Carmen explained. "When it comes from a package. But that's all…I wasn't a very good cook."

"Well that's kinda disappointing," Lita muttered. "But it doesn't matter, you've probably got a billion other talents."

"I can fight like you," Carmen said.

"No wonder me and Rini fight so much," Celia blurted out. "I saw the way that you and Raye fight."

"But we're still friends," Raye reminded her.

"So are we," Rini added.

"Like mother like daughter," Serena said with a grin. Celia and Raye looked at each other.

"I think that it's about time for us to be going home," Amy said.

"Same here," Mina agreed.

"Me too," Lita added.

"Bye guys," Rini said to the Mini-Scouts. "Watch your backs, Marenda could show up at any time."

"Bye!" the others called as they left. Soon it was only Raye, Celia, and Farrah standing in the park at night.

"C'mon," Raye said. "Let's get home before my Grampa starts to worry about me."

Farrah walked ahead of Celia and Raye, who hardly said a word to each other. Celia kept glancing at the older soldier of Mars, studying her. Raye caught one of these looks and smiled.

"So, tell me what it's like in Crystal Tokyo." Celia sighed.

"It's lonely," she whispered.

"Why's that? You have so many friends with you…"

"No, not that kind of lonely," Celia muttered.

"Well what do you mean?"

"It's just…"

"Hmmm?"

"I dunno if I should tell you."

"You can trust me," Raye told her.

"Well I…it's kind of lonely…without my mother there."

To be continued…

In chapter 9:

Celia spills and Raye gets chills. Is this dark future set in stone? Does she really have to die at the hands of the terror Marenda? Or is there something she can do about the future…? This and more in Role Model: Chapter 9!

*Note* Wow, we're already at chapter 9. I dunno how long this story will be, but I'll try to keep it going as long as you want me to. Thanks a bunch to the 159 people who have at least taken a look at Role Model, and to the 7 people who actually left a review. I'd really like your thoughts on the characters and how they relate to each other, as well as comments on the story in general. If you'd be kind enough to just leave a review, I would really appreciate it. Every review counts, and I want to know what people sincerely think about this story. Thank you so much,
