Disclaimer: I wish I did own Sailor Moon then maybe I wouldn't have to work so heard right now. Anyway I do not own Sailor Moon. With the exception of Rini I own all of the Senshi's children.
The idea for Daisy's boyfriend came from the TV show "Family Ties."

Lost in Time
Part Two
By
Angel Raye

In the garden of the Crystal Palace an opening appeared. Two small figures feel out and landed in the rose bushes.
"Ouch," Hope griped. "I just got stuck with some thorns."
"Are we home," Ariel asked anxiously.
Hope looked around. "It's the Crystal Palace but I don't know if it's the right year."
"I hope so," Ariel choked.
"Hope, Ariel," a surprised voice gasped. Ariel and Hope turned around and saw Hotaru.
"Aunt Hotaru are we home," Ariel asked fearfully. "Are we in the right year?"
"I'm afraid not," Hotaru replied. "You're in your future."
Hope asked nervously, "How far?"
"About six years," Hotaru replied.
"Well we're closer this time," Hope sighed.
Ariel began to cry again. "I want Mommy," she sobbed. Hotaru walked over and picked Ariel up.
"She's here," she told the little girl. "You girls had better come with me to the conference room. We need to decide what to do."

Raye entered her quarters in search of Annika. She had just gotten a call from Amy saying that Annika did not show up for the study session. Annika, Gloria, Ariel and the twins were all studying for the high school entrance exams and had to study under Amy's strict tutoring everyday. Raye had confidence that her daughter would pass the entrance exams but she didn't want her shirking out of study sessions.
"Annika," she called when she entered the quarters. There was no response. Raye went into Annika's room. The curtains were drawn closed but Raye could see her daughter's silhouette in the dark. Annoyed, Raye turned on the light. "Why didn't you answer when I called?" But then she stopped in her tracks. Annika was sitting on her bed, her eyes red from crying. Raye's annoyance got replaced with concern. "What is it Sweetheart?"
"The other students made fun of me again today," Annika choked. She looked at Raye. "I know I need to stand up for myself Mama but I can't."
Raye sighed. When Annika had finished elementary school Raye had been relieved to find out that Miyaki had not gone to the same junior high school. Unfortunately it didn't take the other students long to catch on to how sensitive Annika was. The teasing was even worse now because being a teenager and a crybaby didn't go hand in hand. Raye knew it would get even worse next year in high school. "Annika darling you're in the ninth grade," Raye stated. "You've got to learn sometime. You're almost fifteen."
"I know Mama," Annika sobbed. "But I can't."
Raye knew it was Annika's lack of self-confidence that kept her from standing up for herself. "Why did you skip the study session," she asked.
"Because I was too upset and I didn't want Aunt Amy turning it into another dumb therapy session," Annika replied. "I just wanted to be left alone."
"Would you like me to leave," Raye asked. Annika hesitated for a moment and then shook her head. Raye sat down on the bed and held out her arms. Annika went right into them. Raye held her daughter tight and let her sob on her shoulder. The other Senshi often commented that Raye's shoulder was never dry. She just wondered if Annika would ever outgrow the crying.
Her communicator beeped. Raye opened it. It was Hotaru. "Raye we need you to come to the conference room immediately," she stated.
"Now," Raye exclaimed. "Hotaru I have an upset daughter here."
"I'm sorry," Hotaru replied. "But this is important."
Raye sighed. "Very well," she said. "Give me a few minutes and I'll be there." Raye signed off and turned to Annika who was sitting up. She handed the girl some tissues. "I'll come back as soon as I'm done and we can talk some more," she told her.
"Okay Mama," Annika replied. Raye kissed Annika on the forehead and left.

Amy sighed with annoyance as she headed toward the conference room. She wondered what was so important that she had to leave the study session. Amy had always been placed in charge of the study sessions when the Cosmic Senshi had to take the entrance exams. Rini had been easy since she was by herself. Maggie and Daisy hadn't been too bad either. It had just two of them and both of them had wanted to do well. But this time it was difficult. There were five of them preparing for the entrance exam. Gloria had inherited her mother's lousy study habits and did not care. Faith was always thinking about her sports. Hope was more concerned about her looks and finding herself a boyfriend. Annika was a little more manageable but there were days like today when she got upset about something at school and skipped the study session. Ariel wasn't usually a problem because she liked studying but right now she was going through her first menstrual cycle and was very cranky. Ariel was almost thirteen and was leaping head first into the terrible teens.
She entered the conference room. The other Senshi, minus Pluto, were already there along with Serenity. "Sorry I'm late," stated Amy. "I had to give the girls specific things to study."
"That's okay Amy," Serenity replied.
"So what was so important that we had to come here so suddenly," Lita asked. "Daisy's going on a date tonight and her boyfriend is picking her up. We all finally get to meet him."
"Really," Raye asked in amusement. "He is all she has been talking about these last couple of weeks."
"Let's back to the subject please," Michiru interrupted.
"Sorry," Serenity turned to Hotaru. "The floor's yours."
Hotaru stood up. "I'll get right to the point," she stated. "I found a couple of young visitors from the past today."
"The past," Haruka sat up.
"You mean," Amy began.
"Yes," Hotaru replied. She went over and opened the door to the smaller room next to the conference room. Chibi Hope and Chibi Ariel emerged. Everyone stared in shock. Chibi Ariel suddenly broke the silence.
"Mommy," she cried and flung herself into Amy's arms. She began to cry. "I want to go home Mommy." She stuck her thumb into her mouth and whimpered softly. Amy immediately remembered the battle with Lady Gemmei. She began to quietly whisper comforting words to the child in attempt to calm her down.
"Hope," Michiru walked over to the little girl. She wrapped her arms around the child. "Are you okay honey?"
"I'm fine Michiru-mama," Hope replied. "I was hoping to get home this time."
"You'll get home," Haruka assured her.
"What are we going to do with these two," Raye asked. "We all still have our kids living with us except for Serenity since Small Lady is away at college."
"We could ask Palla or Ves," Mina suggested.
Ariel immediately began screaming. "No, no, no," she howled. "I want to stay with Mommy."
"Sweetie," Amy began. "You're only twelve in this time. I don't know if you should see your future self." Ariel cried bitterly. Gasping for breath she clung to Amy. In despair Amy made a decision. "I'm keeping her with me," she told the others. "I remember how she was after she was held captive by Lady Gemmei. She needs all the comfort she can get right now."
"In that case Chibi Hope will stay with us," Haruka declared. "It wouldn't be fair for Ariel to stay with her parents and not Hope."
"We'll just need to talk to the Cosmic Senshi," Serenity stated. "We need to set forth some rules about this."
"We should talk to the Knights too," Lita added. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"I'll talk to the Cosmic Senshi," Mina volunteered. She began to get up when both Amy and Michiru stopped her.
"We should come too," Michiru stated.
"Yes," Amy added. "Since our children are the most involved in this."
"You're right," Mina agreed.
"I'll talk to Endymion and the Knights," Serenity got up.
"I keep an eye on these two," Lita offered. She went over to Ariel and held out her arms. "How about staying with me for a few minutes while Mommy takes care of something?"
Ariel tightened her grip around Amy. She didn't want to leave the person who gave her the most comfort. Amy whispered to Ariel, "The sooner you go to her the sooner I'll be back." Ariel hesitated for a moment and then went into Lita's arms. With large eyes she watched as her mother and the other Senshi left the conference room.

"Nani," Faith shrieked when Mina told them what was going on. "I'm going to have two Hopes to deal with?"
"Better then having two of you," Hope shot out.
"Girls," Michiru's voice held a warning tone. The twins stopped scrapping.
"Does Chibi Ariel have to stay with us," Ariel muttered grumpily.
"And where do you propose I put her," Amy asked impatiently. Her daughter had a really bad case of irritability.
"I don't know," Ariel replied. "I just don't want to be reminded of what I went through."
Amy softened. She knew Ariel still occasionally had nightmares about Lady Gemmei. Now she had to look at her past self who was dealing with it now. "It will only be until we can get the time key working again," she assured Ariel.
"It's going to be too weird," Hope murmured. "But I remember coming here. It felt weird to me then and it feels weird to me now."
"Just bare with us," Haruka told her. "And all of you remember not to reveal too much to these two."
"Please," Ariel rolled her eyes. "I was so traumatized I didn't take in that much at all. I only wanted to be with Mom."
"Because you were such a baby," Gloria retorted. Ariel glared at her.
"Does everyone understand," Mina asked giving her daughter a warning look.
"Yes," Everyone replied.
"Good," Michiru stated. "Now let's go and see those two."

"Well I'm glad we finally get to meet this boyfriend of yours," Ken dryly told Daisy as they headed down to the dining room.
"Yes," Lita agreed. "It will be nice to put a face with the name."
"I know you all will like Noboru," Daisy told them. "He is just wonderful."
"I guess we'll find out after dinner," Lita sighed.

After dinner everyone convened into the palace living room. Everyone had to adjust to having two young children around. Chibi Ariel had latched herself to Amy and refused to leave her side. Right now she was sitting on Amy's lap with her head pressed against her mother's chest and with her thumb in her mouth. Some of the Senshi had forgotten how much Ariel had regressed after her experience with Lady Gemmei.
Amy gazed at the small child in her arms. The initial meeting between Ariel and Chibi Ariel had been awkward. Seeing her past self had forced Ariel to relive a traumatic time in her life. Chibi Ariel was very nervous about seeing her future self. Amy hoped they could get the time key working so that they could get the girls home. Greg also had a difficult time seeing his daughter as a little girl again. However he quickly accepted the fact that for a few days he would have two versions of his daughter living with him. It looked like Chibi Ariel only wanted to be with her mother anyway.
The meeting between Chibi Hope and the twins had been a little easier. Hope recalled having the same meeting as Chibi Hope. Chibi Hope took one look at her older self and was thrilled that she would be so pretty as a teenager. Faith commented about being thrown back six years and then went to look at a car magazine.
"So when are we meeting this Romeo of yours," Gloria asked Daisy.
"He'll be here in a few minutes," Daisy replied.
Annika nudged Maggie. "Care to give us a hint on what he's like?"
"I can't," Maggie replied. "I've never met him."
"You've never met him and you're her best friend," Madelyn cried in disbelief.
"He doesn't go to school," Maggie pointed out. "He's nineteen."
"Nani," Lita shrieked. She turned to Daisy. "You didn't tell me that."
"Mom I'm almost seventeen," Daisy grumbled. "When are you going to stop treating me like a child?"
"When you're seventy," Lita told her.
Suddenly a voice came from outside. "Hey Daisy!"
"That's him," Daisy squealed.
"How did he get past the guards," Serenity wondered.
"I told them to expect him," Daisy replied. "I'll go and get him. He's just anxious to meet all of you." She dashed to the door and called out. "Hey Noboru. Come in and meet everyone."
"Do I have to," Noboru called back. Daisy dashed outside.
"He seems real anxious to me," Ken dryly commented.
"I'm not going to say anything," Faith announced. "I am going to keep an open mind to all of this."
Daisy walked in with Noboru. He had long shaggy hair immediately reminding the queen and Inner Senshi of Tiger Eye during their battle with the Dead Moon. His hair was two different colors, red and yellow. He had an earring in one ear and a tattoo on his shoulder. He was wearing tight jeans, sleeveless shirt and combat boots. Everyone stared in shock.
"My open mind just closed," Faith announced breaking the shocked silence. She walked up to Noboru and asked, "So are you out on parole?" Hope smacked the back of her head to shut her up.
"Everyone this is Noboru," Daisy announced. She pointed to Lita and Ken. "This is my mom and dad."
"How do you do," Lita gasped as she quickly recovered from her shock. Noboru grunted in reply. Daisy quickly introduced everyone. Chibi Ariel whimpered in fear as she snuggled closer to Amy who just wrapped her arms around the child.
"Nice to meet you Noboru," Raye stated as she kept a firm arm around Annika's thin shoulders. She quickly pulled Annika away and whispered, "If you ever date someone like this I'm locking you up until you're ninety."
"Mama," Annika hissed as sweat drops appeared on her head.
"Isn't he just wonderful," Daisy gushed as she and Noboru left.
"Lita let's find some reason to ground her," Ken demanded. "No daughter of mine is dating a hoodlum like that."
"I agree," Lita muttered. Everyone else was still in shock.

"I can't believe you asked him that," Hope groaned to Faith as they arrived back in their quarters later on.
"Well he looks like someone who would be out on parole," Faith stated bluntly.
"You have no tact," Hope sighed. She turned to Chibi Hope. "See what you have to look forward too? A blunt sister who doesn't care about embarrassing you."
"Don't influence her," Faith snapped.
"I don't care how Faith is," Chibi Hope softly stated. "I'll always love her. She's my best friend."
"Thank you," Faith told her and then flounced off to her room.
"Confidentially," Hope told her younger self. "She's still my best friend and I love her very much."
Chibi Hope smiled. "I miss Faith," she said. "I'm scared I'll never see her again."
"Don't be silly," Hope told her. "Of course you'll see her again. If you were lost in time forever then I wouldn't be here."
"Of course," Chibi Hope blushed. She gazed up at her older self. "How many years are we going to visit?"
Hope was about to reply when Michiru shot her a warning look. "I can't tell you," she sighed. "But you'll be all right."
"Come on Chibi Hope," Michiru came forward, deciding to break up the conversation before something slipped out. "It's time to get ready for bed." Michiru took Chibi Hope's hand and led her away.
Hope watched them go. Memories of being lost in time came flooding back. she thought. Hope headed into her room to get ready for bed herself.

Amy tried to keep her emotions in check while she took care of Chibi Ariel that evening. The memories came flooding back to her. As she gave Chibi Ariel her bath she realized how much she missed doing that for her. Amy and Greg had talked and agreed that Chibi Ariel should sleep in the office. There was a sofa with a pull out bed in there. That way Ariel would not keep her awake with her studying. The old rocking chair from her room was in there now. Ariel had moved it out when she was ten. At Chibi Ariel's request Amy wrapped her in a blanket and gently rocked her at bedtime.
Ariel, in the meantime, was suffering from bad cramps. She went looking for her mom to get some painkillers. She was not surprised to see her in the office with Chibi Ariel. She watched them for a few minutes feeling a mixture of emotions as she remembered that painful time in her life. "Mom," she whispered so she wouldn't wake Chibi Ariel.
"Yes Darling," Amy replied.
Ariel looked at her mother for a moment. "You miss doing that don't you?"
"Sometimes," Amy admitted. She gazed down at Chibi Ariel. "You were so kawaii." She hesitated and then added, "I must admit that it does feel strange having two versions of my daughter here."
"Think how she feels," Ariel bluntly pointed out. "I remember. I was already so traumatized after Lady Gemmei and then being tossed around in time like this. It was just so overwhelming to meet my future self."
"But you did make it home," Amy reminded her.
"After more tries then I wish to count," Ariel sighed. Remembering why she came she asked, "I need something for pain please."
"Cramps," Amy asked and Ariel nodded. Amy carefully tucked Chibi Ariel into bed and turned out the lights.
"Don't expect to sleep through the night while she's here," Ariel quietly told her mother. "She'll have nightmares every night."
"I guess you remember that much," Amy inquired as she led Ariel into her room. She pulled some painkillers out of the medicine cabinet.
"Yes," Ariel sighed. "All I wanted was to get home to the right time."
Amy smiled and rested a hand on Ariel's cheek. "I was so worried about you while you and Hope were lost," she told her. "I knew how badly affected you were. To have you lost in time worried me beyond belief."
"But we did eventually make it back," Ariel sighed.
"And it was months before I felt like I had the daughter I knew back," Amy added. She gave Ariel a kiss on the cheek. "Get some sleep Darling. I'll see you in the morning."
"Goodnight Mom," Ariel took the painkillers and left the room.

The next couple of days were very exhausting to Amy. She had to deal with two versions on her daughter. The present Ariel dealing with her first menstrual cycle and the past Ariel, traumatized to a point to where she was regressing kept Amy busy. She also had to oversee study sessions for the five girls studying for the high school entrance exam. Ariel had been right about Chibi Ariel having nightmares. She woke up at least two times a night from them. Amy usually just wound up bringing her into bed with her and Greg. Greg was also having a mixture of emotions when he looked at Chibi Ariel. He had helped defeat Lady Gemmei and he still felt rage over what she had done to their child.
Things were complicated in the quarters of Uranus and Neptune. Not only did they have two teenagers preparing for the high school exam but also now they had the past version of one of those teenagers who was desperate to get herself and Ariel home. Chibi Hope was feeling a lot of responsibility for Chibi Ariel. She found herself confiding to Hope about it.
"I remember feeling this way," Hope had told her. "Ariel was so frightened and wanted to get back home. After what she had been through before I knew she had to get home."
"How did you deal with it," asked Chibi Hope.
Hope smiled at her. "You'll know what to do," she said and did not say anymore. Chibi Hope knew she wouldn't tell her anything else.
While the girls were in school Amy worked with Chibi Ariel in therapy hoping to make some progress while the child was here. Once the girls got home Amy had to oversee the study sessions. Chibi Ariel was left in the care of one of the other Senshi, Palla, Ves, or Greg. Chibi Hope worked on some lessons with Michiru and went swimming a lot. She was bored without younger Faith or Annika here.
About three days after their arrival Chibi Hope and Chibi Ariel were outside in the palace garden. Ves was keeping an eye on them. Chibi Hope was swinging on the swing. Chibi Ariel just sat watched with her thumb in her mouth. Amy was in the study session and all of the other Senshi were busy with other things.
"Cheer up Ariel," Chibi Hope told her. "We'll get home. Seeing our future selves shows us that."
"I know," Chibi Ariel murmured. "But when?"
"I don't know," Chibi Hope sighed as she got off the swing. She walked over to Chibi Ariel and put an arm around the thin shoulders. "I'll get you home. Don't worry about it."
"Listen to her," a new voice from behind them said. They looked up and saw Maggie. Maggie looked exactly like her mother. A couple of times the two little girls thought they talking to Setsuna when they saw Maggie here.
"Maggie I want to go home," Chibi Ariel sobbed. Maggie picked the little girl up. She remembered all too well how Ariel was after the battle with Lady Gemmei.
"Maggie could you help us," Chibi Hope asked hopefully.
Maggie shook her head. "I'm sorry girls," she sighed. "I am not Guardian of Time yet. I won't join my mother for another few years."
"Oh well," Chibi Hope shrugged her shoulders. "It never hurts to ask."
Maggie suddenly smiled. "Let's get ready for dinner tonight," she told them. "We're going to have a guest."
"Who are we having," asked Chibi Hope.
"Daisy's boyfriend," Maggie replied. "Aunt Lita and Uncle Ken want to get to know him. But you saw how they felt about him the other day. Not only that but Gloria and Faith will probably say some things too."
"This is going to be fun," Chibi Hope giggled as she followed Maggie inside.

Supper started in the usual way in the Crystal Palace. Noboru had shown up wearing similar attire to what he wore the other day. He looked very out of place since everyone else was dressed up. Chibi Ariel took one look at him and latched onto Amy. Annika, still very shy, silently stayed with her parents and counted down the minutes until she could retreat upstairs to her quarters. Gloria and Faith were scrutinizing him and making the occasional snide comment. Madelyn and Ariel were quietly discussing something in between them and chose to ignore Noboru.
Lita and Ken wanted to find out more about this young man who Daisy was head over heels about. So halfway through dinner the questions started.
"So Noboru are you going to go to college," Lita asked.
"No," Noboru replied.
"Why not," asked Ken.
"I have no time for college," Noboru explained.
"And what keeps you so busy that you don't have time for college," Ken asked next. "Daisy here will be going to college."
"Not all of us live for eternity like the Senshi," Noboru pointed out. "Besides work keeps me busy."
"And what do you do," asked Lita.
"I work with garbage," Noboru replied.
"What does Daisy see in him," Faith hissed to Gloria who shrugged.
"Are you a garbage man," asked Ken.
"No but I hope to be one day," Noboru said.
"So is he the garbage," Gloria asked Faith who snorted with laughter. She quickly turned her laughter into a cough.
"Then what do you do," asked Lita.
"I make artwork with garbage," Noboru stated.
"Yuck," Hope exclaimed. "Why would you want to make art with garbage? Why not use ordinary supplies like I do?"
"I'm not an ordinary artist," Noboru replied.
"And is that going to support you," asked Ken. "How do you plan on making a living from that?"
"Isn't it obvious," Gloria piped in. "Since Daisy is going to be living here he hopes to one day too. Then he won't have to work because Daisy is provided for as long as she's a Sailor Senshi."
"Gloria," Mina angrily hissed.
"I'm only telling the truth," Gloria stated bluntly.
"I thought I was invited to dinner," Noboru angrily got up. "But I feel like I'm being tested. I may not be the ideal man for your precious daughter but I'm not making any changes. So if you will excuse me this dinner is over."
"Noboru," called Daisy in despair but Noboru just left without a word. Daisy angrily turned to everyone. "What's everyone's problem here? You didn't even give him a chance."
"I'm sorry Daisy but we don't think he's the right man for you," Lita explained.
"Mom I'm going to live for eternity and like you and all the other Senshi I'll probably have many boyfriends and husbands," shouted Daisy. "I can't just wait for your approval every time."
"Maybe not but right now you are living in my quarters and you are abiding by my rules," Lita's voice also rose. "Your father and I don't want you dating this man. He's bad news."
"How do you know," Daisy screamed. "You won't give him a chance." With that she tore upstairs. Lita quietly excused herself and followed her daughter. A few minutes later Ken left too.
"Well that was a pleasant evening," Faith said sarcastically. She looked at Hope and Ariel. "You two knew about this didn't you?" She glanced over at Chibi Hope and Chibi Ariel.
"Yes," Hope muttered.
"Then why didn't you say anything," asked Gloria.
"Even you can't be that stupid," Ariel flared, her crankiness and irritability getting the better of her. "We promised we wouldn't reveal anything." Chibi Ariel whimpered in terror at all the shouting. Amy gently began whispering soothing words to her. Chibi Hope flushed and lowered her head. She closed her ears so she wouldn't have to listen to anymore arguing.

That night Ariel had to get up for some water. Her first cycle was almost over and she was glad. she thought. Grimly she got herself a drink. Heading back to her room she passed by the office. She heard Chibi Ariel talking to someone. Ariel thought to herself. She opened the door and peeked in. Chibi Ariel was talking to Moonbeam. The grown cat had been shocked at seeing his mistress's younger self but protectively watched over her. Chibi Ariel was shocked at seeing her kitten as a full-grown cat but she quietly accepted him as comfort.
"I'm so scared Moonbeam," Chibi Ariel was sobbing. "I really want to go home but I don't know when."
"Just remember you will get home," Moonbeam assured her. "And when you do know that I will be there to help you."
"He's right," Ariel came into the room. She sat down on the bed and put Moonbeam on her lap. "He's always been a good friend."
"Ariel," Chibi Ariel gazed at her older self. "Are you mad that I'm here?"
"No," Ariel assured her. "It's just forced me to look at a part of my life I wanted to forget. But we both have a wonderful mother. She will be there for you."
"I know," Chibi Ariel choked. "I really want to be with her all the time."
"I know you do," Ariel told her. "I remember all of this. You'll be all right. I promise."
The door opened and Amy stepped in. "Are we having a hard time sleeping girls," she asked. She sat down on the bed. Chibi Ariel was in her arms in a flash.
"I was just giving her some encouragement Mom," Ariel replied. "I haven't given anything away."
Amy smiled at Ariel. "I know you didn't," she stated. "Now you have school tomorrow so get some sleep. I'll get Chibi Ariel to sleep."
Ariel picked up Moonbeam. She quietly bade them goodnight and left. Amy turned back to Chibi Ariel. She lifted her up and carried her to the rocking chair. As she began to rock she told Ariel, "Tomorrow we'll see about getting that time key working again. Maybe it will work and you can get home."
Chibi Ariel hoped that it would. She snuggled up closer to Amy and let the rocking lull her to sleep.

The next day the girls left for school. A very angry Daisy was among them. Ken and Lita had forbade her from seeing Noboru ever again and told her if she did then she would be grounded. Chibi Hope partially wanted to stay a little longer to see how this would turn out but she knew she had to get Chibi Ariel home soon. she thought.
"Are you girls ready," asked Haruka.
"Yes," Chibi Hope replied. She pulled the time key out of her pocket. She held it up. A few minutes later an opening appeared. "It's working," she cried.
"Then you girls had better get going," Amy commanded. She looked at Chibi Ariel in her arms. "You be brave for Mommy. I promise you'll get home."
"Okay Mommy," Chibi Ariel clutched Amy tightly.
Chibi Hope hugged both Haruka and Michiru. "This was an interesting visit," she told them. "And I won't be able to tell you about it."
"Don't fret," Michiru hugged her tightly. "You'll find a way to share this."
"Take care," Haruka hugged Chibi Hope next. She glanced at Chibi Ariel who was still clinging to Amy. "And take care of Ariel too. She needs you."
"I will," Chibi Hope replied. She turned to Chibi Ariel. "Let's go."
Amy put Chibi Ariel down and gave her another hug and kiss. Chibi Ariel then ran over to Chibi Hope who took her hand. The two waved goodbye and disappeared through the opening.
"Well that's it," Michiru sighed. "I wonder if we'll see these two again in our future."
"Only time will tell," Haruka replied.
"Please keep them safe," Amy softly whispered as she gazed at the opening. She made a silent promise; "If I see Chibi Ariel again I will do all I can for her."

To be continued...
