Part 2: Prepare to die... er, dine!
Usagi's eyes fluttered open. She was no longer in the bathroom but in the royal library.
"Minna-san, she's waking up!" Usagi looked to her right to see the brunette.
"What happened, Mako-chan?"
"You fainted," answered Hotaru as she and the others walked to the sofa where Usagi laid.
"Tell me the reason I fainted. I don't clearly remember." Usagi sat up.
"We have eighteen people coming over for a visit." Mamoru looked at the others and then at
Usagi to make sure she was still conscience.
Usagi made a face to Mamoru. "Mamo-chan, are you concern that I won't be able to handle
this? I'm fine. We just have to do some adjusting to our schedule." Usagi got up from the sofa. "See?
Nothing to worry about."
Chibiusa came from behind Haruka. "Um... Mama? I forgot to tell you but Uncle Shingo,
Minako-san's parents, Ami-san's mother, and Hotaru's father are also visiting to see how their royal
family are doing." Chibiusa gave a big smile. "That makes twenty-three people!"
Everyone turned around after they heard a thud on the floor.
Minako looked at Chibiusa, "What are you talking about? My parents are off in England.
They're looking at a new apartment..." Chibiusa held out a piece of paper. Minako took the paper and
read it. Minako sweatdropped. "I guess they wanted to visit me before they go to England.
Usagi started to move and propped herself up. "Chibiusa, how can you forget to tell us
something like that?"
Mamoru helped Usagi off the floor. "Well, it doesn't matter now, Usako. As long as no more
people come it's going to be fine."
Rei looked at the both of them. "Why do you care so much? It's not like you haven't prepared
something for a lot of people. Sure, Usagi has a bit of trouble getting organized but Mamoru-san,
you're known to be calm and organized."
"You did take care of that peace conference like a charm. That had over fifty people,"
Michiru added.
Usagi sat down on the sofa. "That's difference. We're not discussing business matters. Most
of these people never met each other since they came to know us in different times periods."
Ami looked at the outer senshi. "You haven't met some of them either."
Setsuna gave Haruka a nudge. "That means to be on your best behavior."
Haruka made a face. "Now, what does that suppose to mean?!"
Michiru poked Haruka's arm. "You know exactly what it means."
"No, I don't!"
Hotaru walked next to Haruka. "That means to be nice and sweet and kind and not to start
an argument with anyone."
"I never do that!"
Makoto put a hand on Haruka's shoulder. "Come on. We don't have too long to get ready. We
better start." Makoto smiled at a mop, a duster, and a mixing bowl somehow appeared in her hands.
Everyone sweatdropped knowing how Makoto loves to prepare occasions, being the "happy
homemaker" that she is.
Luna added, "Besides, it would take more than a day to make Haruka nice and sweet and
kind..."
"It's 8:40. The earliest visitor is coming at 11:00. We have two hours and twenty minutes."
Haruka bolts out the door.
Michiru looked at the others. "Don't worry. One day, she'll discovered that she will have to
act nice and sweet and..."
"When she decides to clean the whole palace by herself?" Minako looked at Michiru.
" Well, in that case, we'll just stay here and..."
"Minna-san! Are you going to clean also or should I do a quick job and turn on the sprinkler
system?"
Everyone's eyes grew larger. "Haruka! Don't you dare!" They run out of the room.
Two hours, fifteen minutes and counting...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the main staircase, Minako is busy dusting the banister. Rei is watering the small garden
in the middle of the room.
"Explain to me why I was stuck was dusting this huge thing?" Minako looked at Rei.
Rei finished watering the last plant. "Probably because Usagi and no one else wanted to do
it." Rei smiled. "There's probably an easier way to dust that, Minako-chan."
Minako looked at the banister. She looked back at Rei and grinned widely. "I found one."
Minako ran to the top of the stairs and sat down on the banister.
Rei's eyes grew large. "Minako-chan, I didn't mean that... oh, too late..." Minako was already
halfway down and the banister. However, she forgot about the large stature at the end and she slid
right into it with a thud.
Rei had closed her eyes but when she heard a louder thud, she turned around. Minako was
sprawled on the red velvet carpet at the end of the stairs. "Minako-chan!" Rei ran to Minako side.
"Daijoubu?"
Minako raised her head and stared at Rei. "What do you think?" Rei sweatdropped.
"Minna-san!"
Rei and Minako looked to their right as Makoto entered the room with a tray of chocolate
truffles. Minako bolted from the floor and headed to Makoto.
Makoto turned away and lifted the tray above her head. "Minako-chan, they're for later. You
may not eat them now."
Rei appeared next to the pouting Minako."Mako-chan, how many did you make?"
"Well, this is the first batch. The other fifteen are in the oven still. All in all, there are
sixteen hundred."
Minako jumped up. "That means you can spare a few. Please, Mako-chan! Feed me!"
Rei shook her head. "Mako-chan, give her one so she'll shut up. Onegai?"
"Alright. Here, Minako-chan." Makoto hands Minako one.
Minako's eyes sparkled with stars and her mouth was edged with drool. "Arigatou,
Mako-chan!" Minako took the truffle to the other side of the room and ate it little by little to savor the
taste.
Rei and Makoto sweatdropped. "There is just something wrong with that girl when it comes to
food." Rei nodded.
"I agree, too."
"Ahhhhh!" Makoto jumped into Rei with the tray still in her hand.
Rei looked at the person with glasses on. "Ami-chan, please don't scare us like that."
"Gomen nasai."
Makoto got out of Rei's arms and walked to the table next to the stairs to put down the tray.
Rei looked at the papers Ami was holding. "What's that?"
"Oh. It's some sheet music that Michiru-san wanted me to pull up from the library so that she
and Haruka can perform it when the guest arrive."
Makoto walked next to Rei. "So, how many did you pick out?"
"I only picked out five. They're all violin and piano duets."
A noise is heard from behind them. The three of them turned around. Minako is at the top of
the stairs with the tray of truffles in her hand.
"Minako-chan!" Makoto angrily ran to the stairs.
Minako smiled to show brown chocolate crumbs in her teeth. She started to run to the other
side of the second floor. Makoto was running behind her.
Rei looked at Ami. "Have you tried those truffles?"
"Hai. They're very good. Mako-chan said that they were her mother's family's secret recipe.
Mako-chan actually has a batch of them which she made yesterday in the refrigerator for us."
"Really? I guess I should go try some." Rei left.
Ami went through the sheet music while Minako and Makoto were still running around on the
second floor.
"This song might be a bit too sorrowful for the occasion."
"AINO MINAKO-CHAN!!! Give me back that tray! RIGHT NOW!"
Ami looked up the stairs to see Minako with the tray in her hands. Makoto was on the across
walkway on the second floor.
Minako made her classic insane chipmunk laugh and stuffed her mouth with the rest of the
truffles.
"MINAKO!!!" Makoto ran towards the stairs.
"Ami-chan, you were right. The truffles are good. I only ate one but I brought one out for
you."
Minako's eyes were glued to the truffle at the end of the stairs. In a demonic monotone
voice, she said, "Cho.. co.. late.. truf.. fle... for... me..."
At that moment, Makoto reached Minako. However, Minako had other plans. She jumped onto
the empty tray and slid down the stairs. As soon as Rei was about to give Ami the truffle, Minako
knocked both of them over. The truffle flown through the air until Minako caught it in her mouth.
Makoto stood was her mouth wide open at the top of the stairs. Ami and Rei were also
watching as Minako slid right into the small garden fountain and pond.
A few minutes later, Minako emerged from the pond. She looked at the rest of the inners. "At
least, I got my truffle."
Rei shook her head as Ami sweatdropped. Makoto collapsed on the top step of the stairs.
Minako grinned another brown chocolate crumb smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This place doesn't look that bad." Setsuna looked around in the banquet hall.
"Setsuna!!!"
Setsuna turned around to see Haruka being chased by a swarm of bees.
"Haruka!" Setsuna dropped the bucket of cleaning supplies and ran after Haruka.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Here's Haruka-san's gown." Hotaru handed Michiru the navy blue garment.
Michiru held it up. "I wonder if it still fits her. She hasn't wore it since that huge universal
conference two years ago."
"Well, she hasn't been gaining weight." Hotaru smiled as she stood up from her spot next to
the closet door.
"True." Michiru gathered the dress in her arms and picked up the rest of the dresses off the
bed. "Hotaru, dear, would you carry Rei's and Minako's for me?" Hotaru nodded as she took the two
dresses from Michiru.
They walked into the hallway and headed to the laundry room on the first floor. At an
intersection, Michiru heard a loud noise. A moment later, a fast wind blew past knocking her and Hotaru
over. The gowns scattered on the floor.
"Nan desu ka?" Michiru looked in the direction of where the wind headed to. Hotaru looked
in the direction where it came from and saw a dark cloud.
Hotaru grabbed on Michiru's sleeve. "Michiru-san... Michiru-san... Michiru-san!"
Michiru turned around. "Nani?"
The dark cloud passed over with a loud buzz.
The both of them looked to their left again. Then they heard heels against the marble floor.
They turned to see Setsuna running after the wind and the dark cloud.
Michiru jumped up and pounced on Setsuna. "Setsuna! What was that?!" Setsuna just started
pointed everywhere and stuttered some words. "Setsuna, that better not be another one of your time
experiments!"
Setsuna looked straight at Michiru. "Nani?! How can a mob of bees attacking Haruka be one
of my time experiments?!"
Hotaru looked at the direction of the wind and the cloud. "'A mob of bees attacking
Haruka'?" Her eyes widened and her turned her head to Setsuna and Michiru. "A MOB OF BEES
ATTACKING HARUKA?!?!"
At that moment, the three of them ran after the wind and the dark cloud.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It's 10:45, Mamo-chan." Usagi looked at the grandfather clock at the end of the room.
"And we're all done." Mamoru looked at his wife. Usagi smiled. "See? I told you. A piece of
cake."
"In that case, where is everyone?" Usagi looked around the room. "I told everyone to meet us
back here at 10:45."
A sound was heard from the far side of the room. One by one, the rest of the girls came in;
dressed in their dresses.
"Here you are. Wow! You all look great in your gowns and... Haruka-san, what happened to
you?" Usagi looked worried at the tall blonde in the navy gown.
Haruka was about to scratch her face but Setsuna smacked Haruka's hand away. "I was
working in the garden and I came across a hive of bees. I haven't played football in a while and I
thought the hive was empty. It wasn't. I was chased all over the palace by the bees..."
"She was able to get away for the most part." Michiru held down Haruka's hand down.
"However, when she ran back out in the garden, she forgot about the poison ivy next to the lake."
"Her leg got stuck on the ivy and when she jumped into the lake, the ivy got stuck to her
hair," Setsuna added while she held Haruka's other hand. "And it also got on her face."
Usagi stared at Haruka. "Well... it's not... that bad..." She looked at Michiru. "Have you
tried..."
"We tried everything, Usagi-chan. Foundation, powder, medicine, ointment..."
"The Lights are going to make stupid comments and jokes all night long! I just know they will."
Haruka was making a face. "There's going to be havoc tonight!"
"Haruka!" Everyone looked at her.
"I know how she feels. But we have to be nice and sweet and kind and not to start an
argument with anyone." Minako looked at Haruka and smiled.
Haruka made another face. "Minako-chan, what is that in your teeth?"
"Never mind that." Rei pushed Minako in the back of the group. "Hey, Usagi."
"Yes?"
"Do you still have your disguise pen that Luna gave you a long time ago?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"See? I told you it will work." Rei grinned as Haruka looked herself in the mirror.
"Anyways... Minna-san!" Usagi took out a pad of paper. "Time for the checklist."
Everyone groaned.
"Bathrooms cleaned?"
"Check."
"Guest bedrooms taken care of?"
"Double checked."
"Food ready?"
"Mostly... It's the fault of Minako... Her and her mouth..." Makoto had fire in her eyes as she
stared at Minako. Minako darted away and hid behind Hotaru.
"It's okay, Mako-chan." Usagi sweatdropped. "Banquet hall cleaned?"
"Check, your highness."
"Um.. thanks, Setsuna-san. Where was I?" Usagi flipped the paper. "Oh yeah. The Main Hall
and stairs dusted?"
"Hai! I have the bruise to prove it."
"I'm not asking Minako-chan. Music?"
"Ready."
"I already see the gowns."
"Mine's a bit tight." Rei pulled the waist.
"We can't do anything about it now. It doesn't look really tight, Rei-chan."
Minako whined, "Can we hurry this up? I need to go to the toire!"
Makoto grinned widely. "No, Usagi-chan, take up as much time as you need."
"Mako-chan! Be nice and sweet and kind..."
"Usako, just move on."
"Alright. Gardens cleaned?"
The room was silent. Usagi looked up. "Someone did do the gardens, right?"
Haruka placed hand on Usagi's shoulder and whispered, "They're taken care of."
Usagi sweatdropped as Haruka walked back to the lineup. "Right... Library straightened up?"
"Checked."
"I guess that's it..." Usagi looked at Mamoru. "Mamo-chan, what was your job?"
"Everything else you girls didn't do."
Ami got up from a chair. "Which was what, Mamoru-san?"
The rest of the girls looked at Mamoru with deep glares.
"I... looked after Chibiusa and gave Luna and Artemis a bath."
They turned around to the look at the cats in the back of the room.
"What are you snoops looking at?!" Artemis pounced on the sofa behind the girls.
"Well, it's just we don't remember the last time you two look a bath." Setsuna looked at
Artemis and then at Luna. "Luna, you like that yellow ribbon, don't you?"
"That is a different ribbon than that ribbon that..."
"Yes, Rei-chan."
At that moment, the clock struck eleven.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To be continued....
Minna-san, part two is done! Yea! Sorry for it being so long. I also noticed when I was typing this from
the handwritten story that I did a lot of things to happen to Haruka and Minako. ^^; I guess I have to
re-do some of the next parts so that all the senshi have their own thing. BTW, when Haruka said she
hasn't played football in a while, I meant Japanese football. ^-^ It would be called soccer in the US
and Canada and football in the other countries of the world. The "toire" thing was from the song
"Sailor Busters" from the Stars Sailor Moon Musical. Hope you enjoy this part. I also noticed how this
is a comedy at the beginning of the original handwritten story and a drama at the end. My question
would be if you want a dramatic ending or a comedic ending. Add your opinion in a review so I can
work on it. Bye!

Part 2: Prepare to die... er, dine!
Usagi's eyes fluttered open. She was no longer in the bathroom but in the royal library.
"Minna-san, she's waking up!" Usagi looked to her right to see the brunette.
"What happened, Mako-chan?"
"You fainted," answered Hotaru as she and the others walked to the sofa where Usagi laid.
"Tell me the reason I fainted. I don't clearly remember." Usagi sat up.
"We have eighteen people coming over for a visit." Mamoru looked at the others and then at
Usagi to make sure she was still conscience.
Usagi made a face to Mamoru. "Mamo-chan, are you concern that I won't be able to handle
this? I'm fine. We just have to do some adjusting to our schedule." Usagi got up from the sofa. "See?
Nothing to worry about."
Chibiusa came from behind Haruka. "Um... Mama? I forgot to tell you but Uncle Shingo,
Minako-san's parents, Ami-san's mother, and Hotaru's father are also visiting to see how their royal
family are doing." Chibiusa gave a big smile. "That makes twenty-three people!"
Everyone turned around after they heard a thud on the floor.
Minako looked at Chibiusa, "What are you talking about? My parents are off in England.
They're looking at a new apartment..." Chibiusa held out a piece of paper. Minako took the paper and
read it. Minako sweatdropped. "I guess they wanted to visit me before they go to England.
Usagi started to move and propped herself up. "Chibiusa, how can you forget to tell us
something like that?"
Mamoru helped Usagi off the floor. "Well, it doesn't matter now, Usako. As long as no more

"You did take care of that peace conference like a charm. That had over fifty people,"
Michiru added.
Usagi sat down on the sofa. "That's difference. We're not discussing business matters. Most
of these people never met each other since they came to know us in different times periods."
Ami looked at the outer senshi. "You haven't met some of them either."
Setsuna gave Haruka a nudge. "That means to be on your best behavior."
Haruka made a face. "Now, what does that suppose to mean?!"
Michiru poked Haruka's arm. "You know exactly what it means."
"No, I don't!"
Hotaru walked next to Haruka. "That means to be nice and sweet and kind and not to start
an argument with anyone."
"I never do that!"
Makoto put a hand on Haruka's shoulder. "Come on. We don't have too long to get ready. We
better start." Makoto smiled at a mop, a duster, and a mixing bowl somehow appeared in her hands.
Everyone sweatdropped knowing how Makoto loves to prepare occasions, being the "happy
homemaker" that she is.
Luna added, "Besides, it would take more than a day to make Haruka nice and sweet and

"Gomen nasai."
Makoto got out of Rei's arms and walked to the table next to the stairs to put down the tray.
Rei looked at the papers Ami was holding. "What's that?"
"Oh. It's some sheet music that Michiru-san wanted me to pull up from the library so that she
and Haruka can perform it when the guest arrive."
Makoto walked next to Rei. "So, how many did you pick out?"
"I only picked out five. They're all violin and piano duets."
A noise is heard from behind them. The three of them turned around. Minako is at the top of
the stairs with the tray of truffles in her hand.
"Minako-chan!" Makoto angrily ran to the stairs.
Minako smiled to show brown chocolate crumbs in her teeth. She started to run to the other
side of the second floor. Makoto was running behind her.
Rei looked at Ami. "Have you tried those truffles?"
"Hai. They're very good. Mako-chan said that they were her mother's family's secret recipe.

truffles.
"MINAKO!!!" Makoto ran towards the stairs.
"Ami-chan, you were right. The truffles are good. I only ate one but I brought one out for
you."
Minako's eyes were glued to the truffle at the end of the stairs. In a demonic monotone
voice, she said, "Cho.. co.. late.. truf.. fle... for... me..."
At that moment, Makoto reached Minako. However, Minako had other plans. She jumped onto
the empty tray and slid down the stairs. As soon as Rei was about to give Ami the truffle, Minako

"This place doesn't look that bad." Setsuna looked around in the banquet hall.
"Setsuna!!!"
Setsuna turned around to see Haruka being chased by a swarm of bees.
"Haruka!" Setsuna dropped the bucket of cleaning supplies and ran after Haruka.

"Alright. Gardens cleaned?"
The room was silent. Usagi looked up. "Someone did do the gardens, right?"
Haruka placed hand on Usagi's shoulder and whispered, "They're taken care of."
Usagi sweatdropped as Haruka walked back to the lineup. "Right... Library straightened up?"
"Checked."
"I guess that's it..." Usagi looked at Mamoru. "Mamo-chan, what was your job?"
"Everything else you girls didn't do."
Ami got up from a chair. "Which was what, Mamoru-san?"
The rest of the girls looked at Mamoru with deep glares.
"I... looked after Chibiusa and gave Luna and Artemis a bath."
They turned around to the look at the cats in the back of the room.
"What are you snoops looking at?!" Artemis pounced on the sofa behind the girls.
"Well, it's just we don't remember the last time you two look a bath." Setsuna looked at
Artemis and then at Luna. "Luna, you like that yellow ribbon, don't you?"
"That is a different ribbon than that ribbon that..."
"Yes, Rei-chan."
At that moment, the clock struck eleven.

To be continued....
Minna-san, part two is done! Yea! Sorry for it being so long. I also noticed when I was typing this from
the handwritten story that I did a lot of things to happen to Haruka and Minako. ^^; I guess I have to
re-do some of the next parts so that all the senshi have their own thing. BTW, when Haruka said she
hasn't played football in a while, I meant Japanese football. ^-^ It would be called soccer in the US
and Canada and football in the other countries of the world. The "toire" thing was from the song
"Sailor Busters" from the Stars Sailor Moon Musical. Hope you enjoy this part. I also noticed how this
is a comedy at the beginning of the original handwritten story and a drama at the end. My question
would be if you want a dramatic ending or a comedic ending. Add your opinion in a review so I can
work on it. Bye!
