Chapter Six
Maggie
sat in her room, thinking. There were only three girls left hat had yet to have
their crystals taken and that was Annika, Gloria, and herself. She had asked
her mother why she didn't stop this and Pluto had told her that it wasn't
written in the time lines and that when it wasn't written her hands were tied.
It
made Maggie feel utterly helpless. She was supposed to have answers. She was
supposed to be peacemaker too but not even she could cease the tension between
Chibi Venus and the others. Granted, it had lightened up but she knew her
parents noted it. She also knew that even when the Inner Senshi had first
formed, they had not had the tension that Rini's team had.
By
eavesdropping, accidentally, she learned that their parents were having a meeting
that night to discuss it. Only the original scouts and the maids doing the
cleaning near and around the room were allowed in. Maggie suddenly remembered
something Rini had told her. Her mother had told Rini about when she had first
become Sailor Moon when she used her disguise pen to become an adult. Maybe…
Maggie
picked up her communicator and contacted her leader. She told her what she had
an idea but assured Rini if she got caught both she and Maggie would be in
trouble. Rini responded with a singe sentence.
"Lure
Ves Away."

"Ves!"
The
red haired nanny turned around and saw Maggie and Ariel approach her. She was
supposed to help out near the meeting room but the two swiftly grabbed her
hands.
"Ves,
help us please. There are spiders around,"
Ves
stared at them. "Girls, you fight youmas and you can't handle eight legged
creatures?"
Ariel
pouted, sticking her lower lip out. "Besides, we wanted to make some stuff for
our parents but we need help."
Ves
smiled. "All right, let's go. She left with Maggie and Ariel towards the
playroom.
Maggie
winked at Rini as they passed the corridor where she hid. Rini nodded and
ducked into an empty room. She lifted her pen and shouted, "Disguise Power!
Transform me into Ves!"
There
was a flash of light and when Rini looked in the mirror she saw that she looked
nearly identical to Ves except her hair was slightly lighter. She took a deep
breath and the walked into the meeting
hall. She joined the other maids but listened.
Serenity
spoke first, "Gloria is the cause of the tension but she is not the only oen to
blame. Faith, Daisy and even Hope are giving her trouble."
Haruka
spoke out, "Faith and Hope pick on her we admit. We're trying to work on that.
But Mina, you need to work with Gloria too."
Mina
exploded, "I try! I'm telling you that she isn't as bad as she acts. She has
loyalty; she is loyal. She doesn't always like being a scout but she accepts
it."
Amy
spoke out, "I suggest that maybe we let the few that are having trouble work
with me and stay out of this battle."
Rini's
anger fumed. It took all her strength not to blow it.
Serenity
spoke out, "Rini won't like that. She is proud of her team even if they aren't
truly 'united.'"
Pluto
nodded. "They argue too much. They need something to unite them together. They
need to know that they can fully trust each other."
"Excuse
me," Amy interrupted, "I was typing some of this into my computer's journal and
there is another scout aura in here. Not an original scout."
Amy
narrowed her eyes and pointed straight at Rini. "There."
Every
head turned. Rini panicked, changed back and ran out of the room. Pluto and the
other outers were about to go after her when the King and Queen stood.
"No,
she's our daughter, let us handle this."
That
said they took off after their only child.
*

Maggie
waited. She knew she would be in trouble but not as much as Rini. She started
outside and ran directly into her mother.
"Mom…"
she stammered.
Pluto's
eyes narrowed, "Margaret Allison."
Then
suddenly, she grabbed her daughter's shirt and tore it open, baring her chest.
Her nails turned to claws and she morphed to Isolo.
"Appear
Senshi Crystal!"
Maggie
screamed.
A
maroon colored crystal appeared,
"So
the Senshi of Reason."
*

"Rini!"
The
Princess of Crystal Tokyo finally had to stop as her breath ran out. She turned
around and was met with her enraged mother and father.
Serenity
spoke, "Rini! You know we have meetings separate for a reason." Rini narrowed
her eyes right back.
"That's
my team! If you have plans or problems with them, I think I have a right to
know!"
The
King narrowed his eyes, "Rini, you do not raise your voice at your
mother, understood?"
Rini
sighed, "But sometimes, the girls all come to me because they can't reach their
parents because of their age. I'm supposed to guide them. How can I if you
don't trust me to handle problems myself?"
That
said, she turned her back on her parents, crossing her arms.
Before
anyone said anything else, they heard Maggie's scream of pain. Rini turned to her
parents,
"Can
you lecture me later?"
Then
she took off towards the cry.
*
* *
Maggie
fought to find her pen. But the pain was terrible.
Isolo
hissed.
"Damn.
You're not who I want."
'Then
get the hell away from her." A new voice called. Isolo turned, expecting to see
Sailor Cosmic Moon. Instead, she saw Rini. Rini did a front handspring and
knocked Isolo form her friend. Isolo looked at Rini and saw pure fury. Deciding
she would rather serve her Lady longer, she vanished.
Rini
scooped Maggie up into her arms. She turned to her parents.
"So
the Senshi of Loyalty is either Annika or Gloria."
