Runaway!

Notes: Hi! Sorry it took so long to write this. But It probably will be a LONG time before the
next chapter comes out.

Disclaimer: Sorry for not doing this in the other chapters. I don't own anything.

Everyone ran outside to where the scream came from, with their transformation sticks in their
hands ready to transform. When they got out, they saw Yuuchiro hanging from a tree trying not
to fall. They all sweatdropped.

"I'll get him down. You guys should probably be getting home now. I'll see you later." Rei said
walking over to Yuuchiro.

"Okay! Ja ne!" Usagi called back while walking down the steps.

"Bai!" Hotaru called.

Everyone else said goodbye and left.

Rei grabbed a broom and slapped Chad's hands so he would let go of the branch. As soon as she
did, he fell to the ground. When he got up he thanked Rei and went inside.

-Haruka and Michiru's Apartment-

"I don't see why I have to be followed by you guys. I can take care of myself." Hotaru stated
matter-of-factly.

"It's for you're own safety Hotaru." Michiru said while making dinner.

Haruka walked into the kitchen and said, "Plus Hotaru, you tend to be forgetful. What if you
didn't have your transformation stick like today and you were attacked. What would you do
then?" she asked.

"I don't know. I just don't like being followed." Hotaru replied.

"Well, until we defeat Queen Beryl, you will have to be followed by someone."

"Okay." Hotaru said. "I'm going to my room. Let me know when dinner is ready."

"Okay." Michiru said.

-Usagi's House-

*Knock Knock*

"Come in." Usagi called.

"Usagi, can I talk to you a sec?" Chibi-Usa said as she walked in.

"Sure! You can talk to me about anything." Usagi said.

"Okay." Chibi-Usa said, "How did you feel when you found out that Mamoru wasn't your
destined soul mate?"

"Sad. Why?" Usagi answered.

"Because. Ever since the first time I came to Tokyo, I thought that Mamoru was my father.
Now I find out that he isn't, and I feel kind of sad. Then I started crying because I trusted
Mamoru. I trusted him with my life because I thought he was my father. Then I thought that I
was being a baby. You know, because I was crying and all." Chibi-Usa said.

"It's okay to cry Chibi-Usa. I cried too." Usagi said.

"You did? I know that you cry a lot, but I didn't think that you would cry because of something
like this." Chibi-Usa said shocked.

"Yeah. I cry a lot when I'm in my room. The first time Mamoru was working for Queen Beryl, I
cried a lot."

"Oh." Chibi-Usa said.

"Girls! Dinner time!" Came Usagi's mother's voice.

"Okay! We'll be right down!" Usagi yelled back.

"Thanks for talking to me Usagi. I really appreciate it." Chibi-Usa said with a smile.

'Me too` She thought "Anytime!" Usagi said. "Let's get downstairs before the food gets cold!"

"Okay." Chibi-Usa said.

-Queen Beryl's Place-

"No! They couldn't have killed him already!" The Queen yelled.

"My queen." Prince Endymion said, "Kunzite was week. Don't worry. I'll get the girl and then
you will rule the universe!"

"You're right. Kunzite was weak. But I still have you." she said smiling at Endymion.

Endymion bowed and said, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to make a plan how I will get the
girl, Hotaru." With that, he left the room.

Queen Beryl just sat on her throne looking into her glass ball. She saw an image of Hotaru
sitting at her desk reading. "So small, yet so powerful." she said to herself. "With Prince
Endymion on my side, I will soon rule the Universe!" she shouted and the started laughing evilly.

-Haruka and Michiru's apartment-

"Haruka, it's dinner time. I'll go get Hotaru." Michiru said.

"Okay." Haruka replied.

Michiru walked up to Hotaru's bedroom door and gently knocked on it. There was no answer.
So she decided to open the door a crack. When she looked inside, she gasped!
