I began to feel much better later in the week, Friday, to be exact. Aydel, Rachel, Ashley and Alex all surprised me by taking me out to a Karaoke Club. We had had no progress at all that week in finding her. There were also no more attacks that we knew of anyway. I figured that those other five scouts could take care of it, being the protectors of this era.

School had not gotten any better. I tried to learn as little as possible and pay attention only to that which interested me. I listened in on conversations, asked misleading questions, and even joined a school club trying to find anyone who knew her. No one was any help. It was like she didn't even exist here. Many times the question 'Are we in the right place?' popped into my head. But I knew we were in the right time, Pluto never made mistakes.

I laughed as Comet jumped onto my lap and curled into a ball. Comet was my marmalade cat. She had a white belly, white paws and a beautiful cresent moon on her forehead. For as long as I could remember I had always had her by my side. Coming to a new time wouldn't change that. I knew she didn't want to miss our performance (Alex had booked up for a song at 9:15), but didn't expect her to sneak in. Animals were not allowed in this restaurant.

Ashley and Rachel sat down on both side of me with our food. It was a very nice place. Though not very professional, the entertainment was good.

9:00. Our turn was coming up. I pushed Comet off my lap as I got up. "Excuse me girls," I said, "But I need to visit the little girls room before our turn comes up."

"Want me to come with?" Ashley asked. She was a real 'girls go in pairs' type person.

I laughed, "No, I'm sure I can manage." She laughed too, then waved me away. I took off to the bathroom.

When I had finally found it, I entered at the same time two girls were coming out. "Oops! Sorry," I said, bowing partly.

"Oh, sorry." The first girl, who had long, blond hair in a red bow said.

"Hey, no problem," The other, with brown hair in a high pony tail, insisted, "These bathrooms are poorly made. Too much traffic." I smiled politely then made my way in.

"Hey," The blond one yelled to me. "Avoid the third stall, there's a rather nasty clog." She laughed, so I did too.

"K, thanks." I said. She winked and flashed me a peace sign, then went to leave. I noticed, as she lifted up her arm, a yellow pen with a small orb on the end tucked into her skirt. I shook my head and gave them a little wave back, then went a head into the washroom.

On my way back to our table I noticed those two girls sitting with three other girls. I stole a quick glance at the five of them, then pictured them in skirts, body suits, and tiaras. They didn't match up in my head. As I made my way past, it hit me that one of them was that Serena girl from school. I walked thinking blank and empty thoughts as I made my way back to my table.

The table was completely empty except for Alex, and a purring Comet on the table.

"You made it just in time!" Alex said, excitedly, "Come on, we're on next!"

"Where are the other girls?" I asked.

"They're back stage waiting. Come on, let's go!"

"Good luck!" Comet purred smiling up at me. I nodded and followed Alex.

Backstage, standing and peaking through a crack in the curtains, were Ashley, Rachel, and Aydel. When they saw us, Ashley leapt silently over smiling, and whispered "We're on next!"

Aydel and Rachel wished us good luck and started out towards the table.

"What? Where are you two going?" I asked, frowning.

"You know I'm not the singing type." Aydel said, before turning and leaving.

"Yeah and me, stage, and 'sing' don't very much mix…" Rachel said, before following Aydel out.

I shook my head, thinking, before I joined Alex and Ashley by the curtain. The on stage band were just finishing up, and soon we'd be on, performing. I had butterflies dancing in my stomach.

"Hey," I whispered, "You wouldn't believe who's out there tonight."

"Who," Alex asked, frowning but not looking back. Her eyes were locked on the drummer; a young man a year or two older than us with spiked vibrant purple hair with orange streaks.

"The sailor scouts we bumped into the other night…"

"WHAT?!?" Ashley yelled.

"Shhh!" Alex shushed her. People in the audience had heard, and there were murmurs all around.

"Yeah, they're out there. Just look for the table three rows back from ours, nearly center, with five girls sitting at it. Two blondes, a brunette, and two others. That's them." I explained.

Alex began searching the audience best she could, but couldn't spot them, "How do you know?" She asked me.

"Believe me, you'll know too."

"So…" Ashley started, "Do you wanna change our song? I mean, if they're out there, shouldn't we sing something a little more, uh, appropriate?"

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" I starred down at her.

"I think so," she whispered. Just then, there was a large round of applause. The band exited off the other side of the stage, and the announcer walked onto the stage.

"Wow! That'll be a tough competitor to beat!" He said.

"Competitor!?" I asked, enraged, "You said it was Karaoke?!"

"I did, but I lied. What's the difference anyway? If we win this, we get five hundred bucks to split!" Ashley explained.

"Yeah, but, what good does that money do us? It's useless in the…"

"Oh well, who cares?" Alex asked. "Come on, we're on."

The announce left the stage as we entered. There was a small, but suitable, round of applause. Ashley grabbed the mic first.

"Thank you, thank you!" She said, "I know we are supposed to sing If You Could Read My Mind by Stars of 54, but there has been a little change of plans." She backed up, then ran off to the side where the DJ was. She whispered something into his ear. He nodded. When Ashley had returned to stage, we each grabbed a mic and waited for the music to start.

Our song began with a loud electric guitar. I smiled as I waited for the music cue. My lyrics were first, and I was ready and raring. Here it came, it was my turn to shine. I stepped forward, lifted my head, smiled my best smile and sang.

"So you're cool, and you're strong."

"You say you'll lead, and I can tag a long." Alex came up from behind.

"But when you cry, you be a mess," Ashley sang. Her voice was the best of us three, and she flaunted it well, "When you just show up at that party in the same new dress."

"You say you're brave," Alex sang.

"Sailor Scout." We said together. I could tell all three of us had starred at the same table because the five girls there became uneasy.

"But it's too late to tell me that you don't ditz out." I sang.

"The spacey things, that you said," Ashley sang, "Prove that you got moon rocks rolling in your head."

"Who do you think you are?" Alex sang. It was the chorus. Alex and I backed up Ashley and repeated 'who do you think you are' with a great electric guitar instrumental. Ashley continued by singing, "Who do you think you are? Say you're the best by far! Who do you think you are?"

"When it's time, to stand and fight," Alex sang,.

"You'd rather pine for that cute guy that you met last night," I sang.

"And when you're scared, you run back home." Ashley sang.

Sigh, my favourite part, "Solving every problem with an ice cream cone."

"You're all talk," Alex sang.

"Non stop," We sang together.

"You think that it's all cherry in the leader spot." Ashley sang.

"You say your way, never fails," I sang, "Well, I might as well sit home and paint my finger nails.""

"Who do you think you are?" Alex sang the chorus this time, while Ashley and I backed her up.

"I hope you know, the day it doesn't show," I sang.

"You are my friend," Ashley sang, while Alex echoed her.

"That doesn't mean, that when we've had it we won't go at it again and again!" I sang, as I jumped and danced!

"You've got brains," Ashley said.

"I've got guts," I sang.

"Say I'm a pain," Alex sang, then added, "Well, you're a klutz!"

"Oh it's insane, how we drive each other nuts!" We sang together.

I nearly laughed as Rachel yelled from the audience "It's true!"

"Who do you think you are?" I sang the chorus this time, while Alex and Ashley backed me up.

The guitar played almost silently as Ashley waved me up to act out a pretend fight on stage.

"I can't believe you want to be leader." I told her in a disgusted tone of voice. Alex danced and hummed happily to herself behind us.

"Well I should be, cause you're such a meatball head." She said in a whinny voice.

"Oh yeah, I've gotten you out of plenty of messes before."

"That's nothing compared to the mess you make when you lead." She said.

"I do not." I protested.

"You do too!"

"I do not!"

"Do too!"

"Well, I'm the leader, and that's that." I said proudly.

"Well, why should I listen to a ditz like you?"

"Well maybe because I'm Sailor Moon, champion of Love and Justice." I mocked Moony while starring her right in the eyes. There was no humor there, there was nothing. I suddenly didn't want to continue our performance, but Ashley did.

"Well all I know is, you must be wearing your pony tails too tight!" She yanked gently at my ponytail bobs. I turned seriously back at her, smiled back at the audience, and left the stage. I knew Ashley wouldn't want to be embarrassed, so she went a long with it, smiled, bowed, and left too. Alex followed suit.

When back stage, Ashley yanked at my arm, hard. "What's up?" She asked. Alex, not wanting to be involved, left to go back to our table. I heard the announce come on after a round of applause filled the air and had died.

"Wow! What an amazing performance by such young…" The announce began. Ashley broke his voice with her own.

"Hey! Earth to Saruka!" She pestered.

"Yeah, oh, sorry." I said simply.

"So… what's up?"

"Um.. nothing, I just.. let's go…" I headed for the audience area, when I saw Rachel. Aydel and Alex all coming our way. Comet was being cradled in Alex's arms.

"Let's go." Rachel said.

"What? Why?" Ashley asked.

"Those girls, the scouts… they're not too happy. We couldn't hear what they were saying, but I just had a terrible vision of us and them in a fight… to the death." Rachel explained.

Ashley gasped.

"Maybe you were mistaken again?" I asked. Rachel's vision were usually right on, though they normally didn't turn out as expected. She saw what she saw, no other, and that's always what happened, but not in the way she had explained.

"No, I saw what I saw. It was them versus us. It was a definite to the death battle, no fooling."

"Aydel, what do you think?" I asked. I always trusted Aydel's judgement, in any circumstance.

Aydel thought for a moment, "I'm not sure if Rachel knows what her vision said, but she definitely had one. She nearly collapsed carrying our drinks to our table. But I do know that we ought to get out of here. Those girls, the scouts, as you so diligently figured out, defiantly did not seem too happy. I think you two may have offended them."

I peeked out to the stage. There was a break in performances. I searched for the scout's table among the others. When I found it, I sighed. "I think we may have blown our cover…" I said bleakly.

Ashley groaned, "Well, dah!"

I frowned back at her, "Do you guys think maybe… that maybe…"

"Possibly…" Was all Aydel said. She was the only one I expected to catch on over so little words.

"How could we know?" I asked her.

"I don't know. They wouldn't so…"

"Know what?" Alex asked, nosily.

"Those scouts. Their names are the same as those before us. Selestial Queen Serenity told us about them once, remember?" I explained.

Ashley nodded, "Yeah, I remember. What about? Are you suggesting that they may be ancestors or something?"

"No, there are no two scouts with the same name. Unless they were reborn in our time. That's the only way, it would have to be their being… but… there's no way… and even if so… they wouldn't know about it… yet, so that's no help." I rambled on, mostly for myself.

Rachel shrugged, "Oh well, no biggie. They're of no importance anyway. We gotta find our queen that's it. No distractions."

"Rachel, think about it. If they knew about their future, they would know about our queen. She's Moon's daughter, remember? So…" Aydel started.

"But they don't, end of story."

"We don't know that for sure." I said.

"Sure we do! It's too far in the past for them to know. How could they?"

"Moon had connections with Pluto, remember? Come on, Rachel, think back! It wasn't that long ago we learned it all! They told us we would need to know it, and we were taught it. Geesh!" Ashley explained.

Rachel huffed and silently mocked Ashley before saying, "So, how do we fish it out of them."

"Let's get out of here first, then we can discuss it." Alex offered.

There were no arguments, so without another word, we all left the Karaoke Club. We didn't find out until a week later, but we left no more than twenty seconds before our names were announced as the winners of that night's contest. The prize, since we were not present, was awarded to the second place contestants, the guy band who had performed just before us. ;)
