Hi Everyone. Thank you for all the great reviews I have gotten on this story. Keep them coming.
They will be back during the Super S season while the Amazon Trio is fighting them.
Also I know we never saw Luna P during the Super S season but I am bringing it back for this chapter. I am assuming Small Lady still had Luna P during that time since Ikuko and Shingo still believed that she was a relative.
We will also begin the chapter in Crystal Tokyo where Ariel and Hope are missing. We need to check on everyone there.

Lost in Time
Part Seven
By Angel Raye

"Haven't you found them yet," Amy asked Sailor Pluto frantically.
"Not yet," Pluto replied. "I keep searching the entire time stream. Every time I get a fix on them they move on to another time."
"We've got to find them," Amy shrieked. Greg put a calming hand on her shoulder. "Ariel is in such bad shape right now because of what she went through with Lady Gemmei. Who knows what she is going to be like when she returns?"
"I'm doing everything I can," Pluto assured them. "And I promise once I find them I will bring them right back here."
"Try to stay calm Amy," Michiru advised her. "At least she isn't alone. Hope is with her."
"And Hope is very level-headed," Haruka added.
"Hope is still a child," Amy pointed out. "And I know she is level-headed but trying to take care of a child as traumatized as Ariel is right now will be too much for her."
"We just have to hope that they will be all right," Greg sighed.
"I'll do what I can to bring them back," Pluto assured them. "Now if you'll excuse me I had better get back to my search." Everyone nodded as Pluto left the room.
Greg put a reassuring hand on Amy's shoulder. "We'll get her back," he assured her.
"I know," Amy sighed. "But I am really worried. Ariel is in a very fragile state right now. What is she going to be like when she does get back?"
"She has you for a mother and a doctor," Greg replied. "She'll pull through." Amy nodded her head. She said a silent prayer for her daughter's safe return.

Lita headed toward Pluto's quarters. Gary had come by earlier very concerned for Maggie. The girl had locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Gary had asked Lita if she would mind coming to talk to Maggie. "Her mother is busy trying to find Ariel and Hope," he explained. "You're like a second mother to her. Would you please talk to her?" Lita was only too happy to help. After all Maggie was Daisy's best friend and like a daughter to Lita.
When she arrived at Pluto's quarters she went ahead and let herself in since Gary wasn't there. Lita went right to Maggie's room. She heard sniffling coming from inside. Lita gently tapped on the door. "Maggie," she called.
"Leave me alone," Maggie's choked sobs replied.
"Maggie," Lita repeated. "Come on. Let me in. You need to talk to someone."
There was a moment's silence and then Lita heard the lock click. Maggie wasn't like Rini, Daisy or Gloria who would lock themselves in their rooms for hours. Lita walked in and saw Maggie sitting on the bed. Her arms were wrapped around her favorite stuffed panda. Her purple eyes were red with tears. Lita walked over and sat down on the bed next to her. "What's wrong honey," she asked as she put an arm around the girl's shoulders.
"It's all my fault," Maggie sobbed.
"What's all your fault," Lita inquired.
"It's my fault that Hope and Ariel are lost in time," Maggie cried. "I dropped that defective time key. If I didn't drop it then Hope and Ariel would not have picked it up and they would not be lost."
"Oh Sweetie," Lita wrapped her arms around Maggie in a tight hug. "Don't go blaming yourself for that. It was an accident."
"But I dropped that time key," Maggie cried as she buried her head in Lita's shoulder.
"Yes you dropped it," Lita agreed. "But this isn't your fault. No one is blaming you for this. It was all an accident."
"But Aunt Lita," Maggie began but Lita put her hand over Maggie's mouth.
"Listen to me," she commanded. "It was an unfortunate accident and you are not to blame yourself. Your mother is doing everything she can to find the two girls. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed and pray for their safe return. Now I want you to stop blaming yourself. Do you understand?"
"I guess so," Maggie choked as she wiped her tears from her eyes.
"Good girl," Lita smiled and kissed Maggie on the forehead. "Now Daisy and I were going to bake some cookies this afternoon. Would you like to help us?" Maggie nodded her head. "Then let's go," Lita stood up and held out her hand. Maggie took it and the two of them left the room together.

Haruka went looking for Faith. The girl had been usually quiet for the last few days. She was also coming straight home from school instead of playing ball with the boys, which was unusual for her. She found Faith in the room she shared with Hope. She was sitting on Hope's bed looking through her sketchbook and twirling her hair. "Faith," Haruka called.
Faith looked up. "Haruka-papa," she stated.
"Are you all right," Haruka asked in concern.
Faith shrugged her shoulders. "I miss Hope," she admitted. "I'm afraid she's not going to make it back."
"She'll make it back," Haruka declared. "Even if I have to go through time myself I'll see to it that she gets home." She gazed at her other daughter. "I miss her too," she admitted. "Don't worry. We'll get her back." Faith nodded her head. Haruka's words helped her to feel better. She gazed out the window and thought,

The 20th century...

In the middle of Tenth Street Park an opening appeared in the sky. Hope and Ariel fell out of the opening and landed in some bushes. Hope got up and looked around. After the last visit to the Silver Millennium she was ready to go home. To her disappointment she saw that they were once again in the past. "Ariel," she sighed. "I think we are in the 20th century again."
"Before or after Rini introduced us," Ariel asked anxiously.
Hope scanned the park. "I'm not sure," she sighed. She took Ariel's hand. "Cone on. Let's go and see if we can find someone." The two girls walked in silence. Hope could hear the occasional sob coming from Ariel. Hope thought grimly. Ariel had been through so much lately and she needed to be with her parents. Hope badly wanted to get home too. Since she had met her real parents during the last stop Hope had felt sick to her stomach. She was going to have to talk to Amy about it as soon as they returned. Hope thought.
"Hope, Ariel," a voice from behind them said. The two girls turned around and saw Rini, the same age as Hope. Hope gave a silent groan. "Are you two still lost," Rini asked.
"Yes," Hope sighed. "Seeing you like this means that our parents still haven't met us."
Ariel let out a loud cry. "I want Mommy," she howled. Hope put an arm around her.
"I'll get Luna P to adjust everyone's memories again," Rini told them. She looked at Hope. "I'm afraid your folks are even around now. They left after the battle with Mistress Nine." Hope only nodded her head. "Serena and the girls are over at Raye's temple. I'll go take care of them. I'll have to take care of Amy's mom too."
"We'll wait here," Hope replied. She led Ariel over to a bench. The two sat down. She looked at Ariel whose thumb was black in her mouth. "Your mother is going to have to be your sister again."
"I want her to be my mommy not my sister," Ariel sobbed.
"I know," Hope sighed. "As soon as this key works again we'll try and get home." Ariel only nodded. Neither girl said anything else. Hope had way too much on her mind to try and comfort Ariel right now. After a while Rini returned. "I took care of them," she told them. "They are on their way over. It's the same as last time."
"That's fine," Hope mumbled just as the girls came walking up.
"Ariel," Amy walked over to her 'sister.' "Are you all right?" Ariel shook her head. She flung her arms around Amy and began to cry again. Amy picked her up. "Come on," Amy said gently. "Mom's working late tonight and I promised her I would have you in bed at a decent hour."
"You have so much patience with her Amy," Mina observed.
"She needs patience," Amy explained. "A traumatized child needs all the patience you can give." She glanced down at the little girl in her arms. "I had better get her home. Call me tonight." Everyone told her goodbye and the two girls left.
Raye placed a hand on Hope's cheek. "Are you all right," she asked. "You look like you're not feeling too good."
"I'm fine Raye," Hope murmured. "I'm just very tired." The emotional impact from their last stop was taking its toll on her now. A tear fell down her face. Raye was quick to notice it.
"Come on," she took Hope's hand. "You need some rest. I don't know what happened but its obviously doing something to you."
Hope thought sadly as she listened to Raye tell Serena, Rini, Lita and Mina goodbye. She let Raye lead her back to the temple.

Rini sat in her room gazing out the window. She was thinking about Hope and Ariel and wondering if they would ever make it home. They both seemed much worse this time than the last visit.
Pegasus appeared in his ball. "You look deep in thought," he commented.
"I have something major on my mind right now," she told Pegasus. She saw she had his complete attention. "Two girls from my home are here but they come from a time when I am older than this. They're lost in time and are trying to get home. This is the second time I've had to help them. They are both worse than last time."
"In what way," Pegasus asked.
"Well last time they were here only the younger one was upset all the time," Rini explained. "Now both of them seem really upset. They can't tell me what happened because it's in my future."
"It sounds like these two girls have a lot on a plate right now," Pegasus speculated. "They are two little girls who are far away from what is comfortable and familiar to them. You just have to hope that they will keep their dreams alive and that they will be able to see their dreams come true."
"Right now I think their only dream is getting home safely," Rini sighed.
"Just give them encouragement they need right now," Pegasus told her. "As long as they have you for a friend they may feel strength."
"I'll do what I can," Rini promised.

Amy sat in her room studying. She had given Ariel dinner and her bath and then put her to bed a couple of hours ago. Ariel had begged her to hold her until she went to sleep. So Amy sat on the bed with Ariel in her arms. Once the little girl had gone to sleep Amy tucked her in and then went to her room to study. Amy thought as she looked at the clock.
A scream from the other room broke Amy out of her concentration. She jumped up and dashed over to Ariel's room. The little girl was screaming and thrashing around in terror. Amy sat down on the bed and gathered Ariel into her arms. "It's okay Ariel," she soothed. "It was just a bad dream."
Ariel clung to Amy. "Mommy," she sobbed. "Mommy."
"Mommy will be home soon," Amy reminded her. Ariel didn't hear her. She just clutched Amy and continued to scream.
Amy heard the front door open. she thought.
Asami came rushing in. "Oh dear," she gasped and she sat down on the bed. She reached for Ariel who only clutched Amy tighter.
"Ariel it's Mommy," Amy told her. In her terror Ariel remembered where she was. Reluctantly she let go of her mother and let her grandmother take her.
"It's okay Darling," Asami soothed. "It was just a bad dream. Mommy and big sister are both here. You're safe now."
"I'll be in my room Mom," Amy informed her. She was about to go when Ariel suddenly grabbed her hand. Even if she had to pretend her mother was her sister she still wanted her here.
"You'd better stay Amy," Asami told her. "She obviously wants both of s right now."
Ariel silently pleaded.
Amy sat back down on the bed. She took Ariel's small hand in hers. Feeling better Ariel stuck her thumb in her mouth and drifted back to sleep.

It was late but Hope had not fallen asleep yet. All she could think about was her parents. And now in this time she didn't even have her adopted parents with her. Hope let the tears fall down her face. She didn't want to cry in front of Ariel. This was hard enough for the younger girl as it was, she didn't need to see Hope all worked up either.
The door opened and Raye came in. She sat down on the bed. "What's wrong Hope," she asked with concern.
"I can't tell you," Hope sobbed.
"You've been so upset lately," Raye pointed out. "I know I'm just your sister but I can help you."
"Raye what would you do if you saw someone you loved only once and then see them again for only a short time afterwards," Hope asked.
"What brought that on," Raye asked in surprise.
"Please just answer," Hope pleaded.
"I guess I would feel shocked," Raye said after a moment. "Mama died a long time ago and I know if I ever saw her again I would be so overcome with emotion. I still love her even though she's gone. She was a wonderful person. I just hope I'm as half as good as she was."
"You're going to be a great mother," Hope blurted out.
Raye smiled at Hope. "Well I'm glad you have confidence in me," she stated. "You sound very convinced."
Hope thought.
Raye tucked Hope back into bed. "Get some sleep," she commanded as she kissed Hope on the forehead. "Think happy thoughts and I'll see you in the morning."
"Goodnight Raye," Hope called as Raye walked out of the room.

"So many dull girls here," Hawk Eye grumbled as he gazed at the pictures. "Why can't there be any mature women?"
"Why not some cute guys," Fish Eye added as he took a sip of his drink.
[Author's note: For those of you who are only familiar with the dubbed version, Fish Eye was a guy like Zoicite.]
"Then I'll close my eyes and pick one at random," Tiger Eye stated. "This is after all a fresh batch of pictures. He closed his eyes and laid his land on a picture. He pulled it out. "Now there's a cute young thing," he declared.
Hawk Eye and Fish Eye looked at the picture. It was of Hope. "Why she's just a little girl," Fish Eye commented.
"And who has been after the young boys too," Tiger Eye shot back. "Sometimes these younger ones have the best dreams. I'm sure this is where Pegasus is hiding."
"Well if she's the one who is hiding Pegasus then maybe Master Zirconia will get off of our back," Hawk Eye grumbled. "She is getting very impatient with us."
[Author's note: Again for those of you who are only familiar with the dubbed version, Zirconia was a woman.]
"Then I am on my way," Tiger Eye declared. He took the last sip of his drink and then headed off with Hope's picture in his hand.

"I wish we could get this time key working," Ariel cried to Hope. They had gone to the park with Rini and the girls. While the rest of them were discussing the enemy Hope and Ariel were sent to play. "I don't want my mommy to be my sister. I want her to be my mommy."
"At least your mommy is here," Hope shot out. "My parents aren't here. So stop complaining."
Ariel looked shocked. Then tears started to fall down her face. She stuck her thumb in her mouth and began to cry pitifully. Hope was immediately sorry for her blunt statement. "I'm sorry Ariel," she said as she pulled Ariel into her arms. "I'm just upset because we haven't made it home yet. You need to be with your mother right now."
"Will we ever make it home Hope," Ariel asked anxiously.
"We've seen our future selves so we will make it home," Hope replied. "I don't know how long it will take but we'll make it home." Ariel nodded her head.
Nearby Tiger Eye was watching. he thought. He walked over. "Hello young ladies," he greeted them.
Hope narrowed her eyes. "What do you want," she asked.
"I just want to be friends," Tiger Eye replied.
"Come on Ariel," Hope took the smaller girl's hand. "Let's get away from this weirdo."
"How dare you," Tiger Eye growled. "You aren't charmed by my good looks." He cracked his whip and a gold rug dropped down in front of him. In an instant his Amazon clothes replaced his civilian clothes. Hope and Ariel both screamed in terror. Tiger Eye knocked Ariel out of the way. "One," he began and the backboard came up behind Hope who screamed again. "Two," her wrists and ankles were bound. "Three," Hope's dream mirror came out. She screamed and passed out.
"Hope," Ariel screamed in terror. She was about to get up when a net dropped down on her trapping her.
"Now let's see if Pegasus is here," Tiger Eye started walk over to her.
"Hold it right there," called a voice. Tiger Eye looked and saw Sailor Moon, Sailor Chibi Moon and the Sailor Senshi. "How dare you attack a little girl who dreams of her family," Chibi Moon shouted.
"I will not forgive that," Sailor Moon added. "We are the agents of love and justice."
"Pretty soldiers in sailor suits," Chibi Moon added.
"Sailor Moon," called Sailor Moon.
"Sailor Chibi Moon," yelled Chibi Moon.
"In the name of the moon," Sailor Moon stated.
"We will punish you," all of the Senshi called.
"Oh the annoyances are back," Tiger Eye sighed. "Come out my Lemure, the deadly magician." Out of the ground a Lemure with all sorts of magic tricks surrounding him came out. "Deal with the pumpkins," he ordered.
"Of course," the Lemure replied. He turned to the Sailor Senshi. In one hand he held a dove and in the other a white hanky. "I have in my hand a dove. I cover the dove with my hanky and presto," he removed the hanky to reveal an empty hand. "The dove is gone."
"Ooh," Sailor Moon and Chibi Moon clapped. The other Senshi continued to watch.
"Now for my next trick," he took off his hat and a ball of fire flew out and landed near the Senshi. It exploded and they all screamed.
"Perfect," laughed Tiger Eye. He turned to Hope who had just regained consciousness. He looked into her mirror. Hope screamed in pain. "Oh what a beautiful dream," Tiger Eye laughed. "But I don't see Pegasus. Too bad because I will have to kill you now." He turned to the Lemure. "I'll let you finish them off," he called and he disappeared through his hole. Hope fell to the ground. The net trapping Ariel disappeared too.
"This is nuts," Mars grumbled. She powered up. "BURNING MANDALA!" The attack flew out and hit the Lemure. He roared in pain as he got hit.
"Sailor Moon now," shouted Sailor Jupiter.
Chibi Moon knelt down, "Please Pegasus! Protect our dreams!" She pulled out her crystal clarion. "TWINKLE YELL!"
Pegasus appeared in the sky. Light came down from his horn and Sailor Moon powered up. "MOON GORGEOUS MEDITATION!"
"Stage out," the Lemure called as he vanished.
Mars dashed over to Hope. "Hope," she called. "Are you all right?"
"I think so," Hope gasped weakly. She felt Mars lift her up.
Mercury picked a crying Ariel up. "It's gone now Ariel," she soothed. "You're safe now." Ariel just clutched Mercury and continued to cry.
"Let's get out of here," Venus commanded and everyone nodded. Quickly they all left the park.

Hope convinced everyone she was all right when they returned to the Hikawa Shrine. Raye let her go and the Senshi sat down to discuss the enemy. Hope listened for a few minutes and then saw that Ariel was not in the room. Hope wondered and she went to go looking for her. She found Ariel in another room lying down in a fetal position with her thumb in her mouth. "There you are," Hope declared as she walked in. "I was looking for you." Ariel didn't respond. At first Hope thought she might be asleep but then she saw that Ariel's eyes were wide open. "Ariel," Hope called as she sat down next to her. There was still no reply. Hope grew alarmed. She shook Ariel, "Ariel. What's wrong with you?" There was still no reply. In fright Hope ran back to the others. "Something's wrong with Ariel," she shrieked.
"What is it," Amy asked in alarm.
"I don't know," Hope choked as her eyes filled with tears. "She's lying with her thumb in her mouth. Her eyes are wide open but she won't answer me."
Amy flew down the hall with the others following her. She rushed right to Ariel's side. "Ariel," she called softly as she gently shook Ariel's shoulder. "Ariel what is it?"
"What's wrong with her," Serena asked in horror.
"I think I know but I can't be too sure," Amy replied as she picked Ariel up. "I need to get her to Mom at the hospital."
"Here I'll carry her for you," Lita took the child from Amy.
"We're all coming," Raye declared as she took Hope's hand. Everyone nodded and left for the hospital.

At the hospital Hope waited anxiously with Rini, Serena, Raye, Lita and Mina in the waiting room. As soon as they had arrived Amy had met up with her mother and the two of them took Ariel to the examination room. Hope wondered if the attack on her had anything to do with Ariel's condition. She felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Serena giving her an encouraging smile. "She'll be all right," she assured Hope. "Ariel's with her family right now." Hope could only nod her head.
Amy came out. Everyone stood up. "It's what I suspected," she reported. "Ariel is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. Apparently witnessing what happened to Hope today was too much for her."
"Will she be able to come out of it," Lita asked in concern.
"I don't know," Amy replied as a tear trickled down her face. "Mom's working with her right now but she's not responding to anything. Both of us are going to stay the night here."
"Would you like us to stay with you," Serena asked.
Amy shook her head. "No that won't be necessary," she replied.
"We'll be back tomorrow," Mina promised.
"Call us if you need anything," Raye added. Amy nodded her head. She went back to Ariel's room while the rest of the girls left.
On the way home Hope pulled Rini aside. "I've got to get Ariel out of here," she hissed. "We can't leave her."
"What are you going to do," Rini asked. "How do you know the time key will take you home?"
"I don't," Hope admitted. "But at least if I take her to the future and her mother knows who she is then she might come out of it. All she has said throughout this entire journey is that she wants to get home to her mother. Here Amy thinks she's her sister. I don't think it matters when we go in Crystal Tokyo as long as Amy knows who she really is to Ariel."
Rini thought it over. "Okay," she agreed. "You're probably right. Why don't we tell Raye you're going to spend the night with me? At midnight we'll sneak out. Serena, Ikuko-mama and everyone else should be asleep by then. We'll get Ariel out of the hospital and then get you both to where you try the time key."
Hope nodded in agreement. It all sounded risky but she knew she had to try it for Ariel's sake.

Raye had consented for Hope to spend the night at the Tsukino house. So after everyone had gone to bed, Hope and Rini put their plan into action. Luna P went with them so that Rini could adjust everyone's memories and just in case they would need it. Once they got to the hospital the two girls quickly found Ariel's room. She was still lying in a fetal position with her thumb in her mouth. Her eyes were still wide open. Amy was asleep in the empty bed while Asami was asleep in the chair.
"How are we going to get her without waking these two," Hope hissed to Rini.
"Allow me," Rini hissed back. She began to dribble Luna P. "Luna P henge." Luna P turned into a device. Rini activated it. Asami and Amy disappeared.
"Where did they go," Hope asked.
"They're at home," replied Rini as Luna P returned to normal. "I've gone ahead and adjusted their memories and sent them home."
Hope nodded. She went over to Ariel. Rini helped her get Ariel on her back. Then they looked out in the hall to see if the coast was clear. It was. Quietly they crept down the hall to the entrance. Twice they had to dart into an empty room to avoid a hospital staff member. Once they were clear of the hospital they got to the park without a problem. Hope held up the time key. This time an opening appeared. Hope turned to Rini. "Thank you again," she told her. "I don't know what Ariel and I would have done without you."
"I'll adjust everyone else's memories as soon as you're gone," Rini promised. "I hope you make it home this time."
"So do I," Hope sighed as she glanced back at the traumatized child she was carrying on her back.
"I'll see you in the 30th century," Rini waved. "Good luck."
Hope nodded. With Ariel still on her back she headed toward the opening and disappeared. Rini watched until the opening closed. "Please get home safely," she whispered. She turned around and with Luna P following her went to adjust everyone's memories.

To be contimued...
