First off: THANK YOU!!! To all the peeps who reviewed my first chapter/prologue! (you know who you are) I'm posting this extra-early just for you guys, even though I wasn't planning on posting it for a few days. My sister gave me the flu and it hurts my head to stare at the screen, let alone SPELL CHECK, so please ignore any and all mistakes in that department as well as grammar.
That said, um... oh yeah. I don't own any part of DBZ or SM. duh.

Kami was peacefully watching the fourth month of Son Gohan's training under Piccolo. Or rather his survival course. As he stood on the edge of his lookout staring out, he did not see the portal open behind him, nor did he hear the woman step out of it. However, he did call over his shoulder. "Sailor Pluto. It has been a long time. To what do I owe the honor?"
Pluto smiled. "You never cease to amaze me, Kami-sama. Sometimes I think that you also have the ability to see into the future."
Kami shook his head turning. "You know I cannot, and yet I do know you must have serious business on your hands if you're referring to me as Kami-*sama*."
Pluto nodded. "It is indeed. I have a favor to ask."
Kami nodded back solemnly. "If it is anything within my power, you know I will try to help."
Pluto explained Chibi-Usa's situation, to Kami, telling him specifically about the powers that she has been displaying and the damage that she could cause. He listened gravely and sighed. "You know that what you ask could throw both our worlds out of sync, and it may not be possible for her to go back."
Pluto nodded. "But this world is the most similar to ours. The least likely to be thrown out of sync. And there is no one... No one that I would trust to train her in our world. Her powers are, to put it bluntly, out of control. She may very soon destroy our timeline completely if something is not done."
"She is that powerful?" he asked amazed.
"She will be. I have foreseen it." Pluto confided.
"And her parents.." Kami began, only to be cut off by Pluto.
"That is a delicate matter. She believes that the King and the Queen are her parents,... when in reality..."
"The King is not." Finished Kami.
Pluto's eyes grew wide. "How did you..."
Kami smiled. "I have my ways. And from what I hear, she very much resembles her grandmother, the late Queen Serenity."
Pluto nodded absentmindedly, intrigued as to how Kami seemed to know so much about her dimension. "Did you ever have the pleasure of meeting her late highness?" she asked.
Kami smiled. "As always, you've hit the mark. Yes I did indeed know her. A long time ago." his eyes glazed over for a second before he continued rather hurriedly, "Although from what I hear King Endymion isn't really a power to be feared."
"Neither is the Queens compared to what her daughter's will be." sighed Pluto. "But the girl doesn't know that..."
"Say no more. She will not be told." Kami assured her.
"You mean that you'll..." Pluto smiled.
"Of course." Kami assured her. "There is more danger to her than to my world. In fact she may even be able to help our world." he sighed, leaning on his staff, "I'm sure you know what is to happen in a year."
Pluto nodded. "Yes. And I hope you'll excuse my rude exit, but I must be off now. " she said solemnly, "I have to prepare her." Pluto bowed as she stepped back into the portal.
Kami nodded and turned back to look on Gohan, an idea forming...

The next morning Neo-Queen Serenity was sitting in Chibi-Usa's bedroom as her daughter woke up. "Hi, Mommy!" the girl squealed as she leapt into her mothers arms. Serenity smiled sadly as she hugged Chibi-Usa. The young girl picked up her mothers sadness immediately. "What's wrong?' she asked.
The Queen laughed in an attempt to ease her daughters immediate fear. "Nothing, darling, you worry too much." 'She never ceases to amaze me with her perception, even for a child of not quite 5.' she thought. Then under Chibi-Usa's glare she was incited to continue. "In fact, you're going on a little trip."
"I am?" asked the girl in surprise.
The Queen nodded. "Yes. Now let's get you packed."
Chibi-Usa nodded and immediately began to run around the room grabbing clothes and asking if she would need this or that.
Serenity found it disheartening that she really didn't know what her daughter would need but tried her best to make sure he daughter would be prepared.
Meanwhile, King Endymion was sitting in the throne room with his head in his hands as he heard someone slip through a portal. He looked up as Pluto bowed. Endymion looked around before speaking. "No need for that. No one else is here."
Pluto nodded and stepped forward, grabbing Endymions hands. "I know this is difficult for you, but..."
Endymion cut her off. "Who is her father?"
Pluto blinked, taken aback. "Excuse me?" she exclaimed, her face registering shock.
"Setsuna, just stop. I want to know who Chibi-Usa's real father is." he told he tiredly.
Pluto stared at the floor for a moment before responding, "How long have you known?" she asked softly.
Endymion sighed. "We have been lovers for many years now, it was not hard to figure out why Serenity never suspected anything." Endymion looked old beyond his years. "In a way, I have to say, I understand. I mean how could I not, when I have you?"
"But you'll always love her best." Pluto said with tears in her eyes.
"It's not a matter of who I love best." Endymion stood grabbing and kissing Pluto's hands. "It's a matter of destiny, you above all people should know that."
Pluto nodded, stepping back and pulling her hands away from him while she formed her facial expression into a mask of indifference. "Yes, you're right, of course."
"I hate when you do that." remarked Endymion. At Pluto's look of surprise and confusion, he continued. "I hate when you shield your emotions. I like seeing what you feel."
"Old habits die hard." she told him softly.
"Please tell me... who it is?" he pleaded, relentlessly. "I want to know before she leaves."
Pluto shook her head. Stepping back, her voice became cold and slightly sarcastic. "You should know, *your Highness* that I cannot disclose such information. You will have to ask your *wife*."
Endymion sighed. He had not, in all reality expected her to tell him. He wanted to ask Serenity, but didn't want to hurt her. Pluto was his only other option. Nodding he stood and went to get Chibi-Usa and Serenity to say good-bye.
--------------------
Chibi-Usa held onto Pluto's hand as they both stepped through the portal. She carried nothing, as everything she might need was stored safely in her sub-space pocket. She got a feeling like goose-bumps all up and down her arms and legs as they reached the time gate. "Puu,?" asked Chibi-Usa. "Am I going to a different time?"
Pluto smiled and ruffled Chibi-Usa's hair. "Not this time." she smiled.
"You mean I will later?" Chibi-Usa asked wide-eyed.
Pluto shook her head. 'Nothing gets by her.' "I didn't say that." she told the girl as she winked.
Chibi-Usa giggled and then grew serious. "Well then why are we at the time gate?"
Pluto also grew solemn, "You're actually going to a different dimension."
"A different dimension?" Chibi-Usa asked in awe.
"Yes." said Pluto, "But you must remember not to tell that to anyone you may meet, except for Kami, who we will meet first. Understand?"
Chibi-Usa nodded, wide eyed. "Yes, Puu. I understand."
Pluto smiled at the little girl who looked so afraid, and yet so composed. Kneeling down, she embraced Chibi-Usa. "That's my smart girl. Now, are you ready?"
Chibi-Usa looked solemnly at Pluto and nodded. Pluto than waved her hand and led Chibi-Usa through the gate of the seven golden dragonballs.
That said, um... oh yeah. I don't own any part of DBZ or SM. duh.
