(Chapter 3)
The next morning, Gohan walked into her room and called loudly. "Usagi! Wake up! It's already 10:00!" Usagi bounced awake and cried, "Oh my GOD! I am so late! Luna, why didn't you wake me!" she zoomed towards the door and screeched to a stop in front of a confounded Gohan. "Uh," she mumbled her cheeks turning red, "Oops, I forgot about everything for a second." Gohan chuckled and said, "You look like Goten when he is late for school... in hyper-speed! But why don't you come down for breakfast and then we can take you shopping with our whole gang." Usagi fidgeted and said, "Well, I love shopping, but I don't have any money." Trunks had walked over just in time to hear her speak. He countered her, "Don't worry, we have enough money for a whole school of teenage girls to go on a shopping spree! My parents own Capsule Corp. the biggest company around!" Usagi blinked and asked, "I've never heard of it. What does it sell?"
"It's sells capsules."
"What're capsules?"
"Whoa, you've got a lot to learn! But don't worry, once we go shopping, you'll know everything that Capsule Corp. sells and more!" Usagi smiled at that. "I LOVE shopping. Especially when I have money. I usually spend my allowance at the arcade before anything." she told them sheepishly.
Ring! Ring! Ring! "Oh shit! They're coming already and you're not dressed yet! Uh, okay, you get dressed and we'll take care of the others. But HURRY!" The two young men ran out of the room and slammed the door. She grabbed her clothes, put them on, but she didn't want to wear the school uniform that she had on. She grabbed her bag, she had slung over her shoulder, which held her Spiral Moon Wand, her star locket, and her Luna pen. She had forgotten all about it. "Well, I have it now anyway." she told herself, "Disguise Power! Turn me into a... um, really hot, chick!" She finished lamely. Her body tingled as the new clothes took form and her hair was perfect. They were no longer in odangoes but now it was a little shorter and a little darker and was done half up and half down. She was wearing a black mini-skirt and a black form-fitting tank top with a white sweater around her shoulders preppy-style. The outfit was completed with black high-heeled boots that came up to just under her knees and a simple gold chain necklace and gold bracelets bangle-style. She admired herself for a second in the She ran out of the room and reached the room where everyone was. She recognized Goku, ChiChi and Goten but didn't know any of the others. Gohan turned to her and face-vaulted at her outfit. "Umm, and here's Usagi here right now!" he announced to everybody. Then he turned to her and whispered, "Where'd you get the clothes? And how'd you do your hair that fast?" Usagi grinned and held her now black bag. It held her Spiral Moon Wand, locket, Luna pen, and her broach. She rifled through it and took out her pen. "With this. It's magic and can change me into anything I want. I, uh, kinda forgot I had it last night."
Trunks turned to her and said, "Well you know Gohan's parents and his brother, but now meet the rest of the gang. That's my mom, the one with the blue hair or Bulma, and that's my dad, Vegeta, the one sitting next to her. The little girl that looks exactly like my mom is Bura, my little sister, the bald guy is Krylin, the one that looks kind of like Goku is Yamcha, the other guy next to him with the three eyes is Tien." A doll-like little figure jumped up. "Don't forget me!" he said. Trunks laughed, "How *could* I forget? This is Choutzou. Hey! Where's Piccolo?"
"Not coming. He doesn't want to go shopping, say's he's got to train." replied Goku. Then he mumbled, "Wish I could have that excuse." he muttered under his breath and was rewarded with a slap on his shoulder from ChiChi. Vegeta was also grumbling to Bulma and had also earned a slap on the shoulder.
"Umm, well if they don't want to go, I don't think I should be such a problem that you have to drag them where they don't want to go." started Usagi a little timidly. ChiChi spoke up, "*Of course*, they do, *don't* you?" and with that she shot a look at Goku and Bulma did the same. "Uh, uh, of course!" Goku stuttered shying away from his saber-toothed tiger look-alike-at-the-moment wife.
"Great! Let's go!" cried ChiChi and Bulma dragging their unwilling husbands by the arm. Gohan grabbed Usagi hand and Trunks took his little sister Bura's hand. "Come on, we'll take the motorcycles. He looked up at Usagi and tossed her a really wicked helmet. "Put it on, it'll help your hair and you'll need it! I'll take my little sis' and Gohan'll take you." He ruffled his little sister's hair as he said that and she looked up at him happily. Trunks was his little sister's idol and she loved him very much. "HURRY UP!" called Bulma. With that, they all sprinted towards the door and hurried after the others.

Hotaru's eyes fluttered open and she woke up to see Pluto shaking her softly to rouse her. "Augh. My head... did I get hit by a truck?" She sat up and saw Michiru, Haruka, Ami, Minako, Mokoto, and... CHIBI-USA? "Uh-oh, let me guess, the vortex warped us to Crystal Tokyo in the future didn't it?" The others breathed a sigh of relief that she was okay. "Yep, I would think that." sighed Ami. She looked towards Chibi-Usa, how'd you find us?" Her pink hair blew in the wind as she replied, "You took me, I mean your future selves. See, they're right there." and she pointed behind them. They spun and saw themselves.
All except the Outer Senshi who had come from the future and traveled back and forth between times. I don't know if this is true but in my story it is! The Inners had never traveled forward in time before and they were shocked to actually meet themselves in another time (they had only seen themselves when Serenity had sent them back in time to the battle with Beryl in the Moon Kingdom) and there jaws dropped simultaneously. They all began to walk towards each other, and suddenly everyone started talking to everyone else. "Umm, sorry to break the happy meeting, but there is a slight problem... *we're stuck here!!!*" screamed Setsuna. My time staff is gone. I must have lost in the vortex. We can't go back and I can't help Usagi!"
Future Mercury, I'm going call all the Future Senshi F. ... and the Past Senshi P. ... for the sake of saving space. spoke up, "I have an idea. I worked out a program that should be able to communicate between dimensions, times, galaxies, ecetera, ecetera. We could try it out. Maybe we could find P. Mars and talk some sense into her. And to tell the quee- er, she would be the princess in that time wouldn't she?"
The sound of horse's hooves was overheard and they stopped for a second. King Endymion jumped down from the saddle and landed in all his spendor... and worry. "Sailors, the Queen is gone... uh, why are there two of almost each of you?" The Senshi ignored the last question and gasped in horror. "You mean Neo-Queen Serenity is missing?!" Only Pluto gave acknowledgement to him and said, "It's a long story..."
