"NO!" Goten shouted and sat straight up in bed. For weeks, he had been having nightmares over Serena's death. His dad promised him, Trunks, and Gohan he'd let them know if Serena was sent to King Kai or not. But they hadn't heard a word from him. Now Goten was worried Serena wasn't going to be okay. But she was a good person. Nimbus let her ride on it.
"I shouldn't have gone after her…she wouldn't have died if I hadn't of gone after her." He whined. He laid back down and shut his eyes, going to sleep. His nightmare started all over again…
"Serena?" Goten asked. He looked around. The area was dark. And his voice echoed. As he looked around, a figure stepped up behind him. He spun around to see Sailor Jupiter. Powering up to Super Sayian, he tried to attack her. But he couldn't. He wasn't even a Super Sayian! He was totally helpless. He couldn't move! He looked up to see Serena and Sailor Mars. Mars launched her attack at him, and Serena got into its path. She then glared down at him, as Jupiter and Mars vanished.
"How could you do this to me?!" She demanded and crumbled away.
"Serena! I didn't mean it!" He said.
Goten woke up to someone shaking him. It was Gohan.
"Gohan?" He asked sleepily. Gohan looked worried.
"You okay squirt? You were tossing and turning, and shaking the whole house." He said. Goten sat up in bed.
"Did dad say if Serena was there or not?" He asked.
"No. I haven't heard a word from him…but we did get a call from Trista Mei'oh. She wants you and Trunks to meet her at the Gates of Time. She wants you to work with the Silver Crystal." Gohan told him. Goten nodded and went to get dressed.
Later, Goten was sitting in the living room with Trunks.
"How do they even get to these blasted Time Gates?" Vegeta asked.
"For the FINAL time Vegeta, We DON'T KNOW!" Bulma screeched. Vegeta snorted and leaned against the wall. Trunks looked through a bag he brought with him, and pulled out a small key.
"Rini said that this was her Time Key. She told me it takes people to the Gates of Time. Maybe it'll take us…" He said. Just then Rini walked in.
"Well, it won't work for you. There's not someone here familiar with the Time Stream, and I can't go with you." She said. Everyone looked down. Bulma snapped her fingers.
"Trunks!" She stated. Her son looked up at her.
"What mom?" He asked. Gohan realized what she meant.
"Yea! That's it! There IS a familiar face here! Trunks!" He said. Trunks looked at Gohan like he was crazy.
"What do you mean Gohan?"
"The Time Stream would know you Trunks!" Gohan told the 8-year-old boy. Rini smiled.
"Yea! I'll send you on! I call upon you Guardian of time! Please send and guide these two warriors onward to the road of light! Moon Crystal Key, send them to Pluto!" She called. A pink warp opened and sucked up Goten and Trunks. It closed, and everyone blinked at it.
"Okay! Now let's work on stopping the circus!" She cheerfully said.
At the Time Gates…
Pluto waited for the boys.
"I hope this is a good idea…" She said.
"Have faith in my daughters friends Pluto..." A voice said. Pluto bowed.
"Queen Serenity!" She said.
"It is a good idea. The older boy has taken an interest in the Silver Crystal. He should learn to properly use it. His friend too. If they are to live in the Crystal City..." She said. Pluto nodded.
"Yes majesty. For when… they come back...tell me...is that why you have requested them sent to Crystal Tokyo?" Pluto asked.
"Yes. To protect my daughter and Granddaughter." Serenity said. Pluto nodded one more and stood.
"Pluto…fate has played into our hands…trust the young Saiyan's. I believe in their strength." Serenity said and left.
"Yes majesty." Just then Trunks and Goten showed up.
"Miss Mei'oh. What's going on?" Trunks asked.
"I am not the Trista Mei'oh you are familiar with. I am the Sailor Pluto of the Past. As myself of your time is on Earth, I have come from the past to stand at these gates for her. You are to go to the Crystalline City." She explained. Goten blinked.
"Why?"
"So Serena may teach you to use the Silver Moon Crystal." She told them.
"But…but Serena's dead." Goten said.
"That will be explained later. Go." Pluto gently said to the boys.
"How do we do this Miss Mei'oh?" Trunks asked. Pluto smiled.
"Concentrate on Serena. And on a more powerful Silver Crystal. And do not get separated." She instructed them. The boys nodded and jumped into the Time Stream…
Back on Earth…
"Can we go shopping Gohan? Please take me shopping!" Rini begged. She was sitting on Gohan's shoulders as they went through Tokyo.
"Not now Rini." He said. Rini grabbed a fistful of hair and pulled.
"If you don't wanna end up bald, you'll take me SHOPPING!" She screeched. Gohan winched in pain.
"Okay! Okay! Stop pulling!" He shouted back and walked towards the mall. Rini had a victory smile plastered on her little face.
"Was Serena like this?" He asked. Rini looked at him.
"Yea!" She happily said. Gohan was ready to drop dead right then. A girl with a more unusual hairstyle than Serena and Rini combined walked past them, holding a picture. Her hair was green and pulled down into two LONG pigtails with the ends a poof of hair. Now the odd part was that there was a THIRD just like the first two hanging over her head! Gohan set Rini down and they trailed the girl.
"Come on…" She whispered. She walked around the mall, looking for someone. She stopped outside a martial arts store.
"You call this quality?! Come on! My sister can sew better than this! And she's four! These outfits rip too easily! Look mister, either you get a better one or you'll hear from my lawyer!" A female voice shouted. Gohan blinked. Whoever this was sounded more intimidating than Vegeta in a good mood, Bulma and Chichi!
"Good!" She shouted again and walked out with a shopping bag. Gohan looked. He nearly fainted. This girl wasn't even ten! The other girl bumped into her, causing the girl to spill her stuff.
"Oopsie. Sorry kid." The girl with Green hair said. The other girl stood.
"You'd better be! You made the mess so pick it up!" She shouted. The first girl grinned. Gohan knew that type of grin. That was nearly the same one Vegeta would get before attacking!
"I've got a better idea kid. Let's play a round of billiards!" She said. (A.N- Billiards is a type of pool game requiring much skill) A green orb floated down, and the first girl was wearing an odd outfit. It looked like an Amazon girls outfit. She twirled a pool stick and held it before the orb.
"Green ball Back pocket!" She called, striking it. The orb kit many things before going THROUGH the second girl, drawing out a Dream Mirror.
"Darn! It isn't gold!" The first girl said and went to destroy it.
"Moon Cosmic Dream Action!" Rini called, transforming. The Older girl raised her pool stick.
"Stop right there and leave that beautiful dream alone!" Mini Moon called. The girl in green looked up.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"I'm a soldier in Training from the future!" She said and drew her Pink Moon Stick.
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" She called. But it didn't work. The girl in Green got a confused look on her face and laughed. Mini Moon hit it a few times.
"Come on. You always worked in practice! Pink Sugar Heart Attack! Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" She said. Mini Moon walked close to the older girl.
"Got it! Pink Sugar…Heart Attack!" She called. The hearts came out and struck the older girl.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow! Stop it runt!" The older one shouted. She jumped away.
"Darn you!"
"Who are you!" Rini demanded.
"JunJun!" She called and vanished. Gohan returned the mirror to the little girl.
"Here you are." He said. The girl took her things and left.
"Well, at least she's okay...I wonder how Goten and Trunks are..." Gohan wondered aloud.
Back with the Boys...
Goten and Trunks landed in the middle of a busy street. Goten ran up to the nearest person.
" 'Scuse me lady, but, where are we?" He asked. The lady looked at him and recognized his Gi. She had seen the Queen and Princess wear similar ones.
"Crystal Tokyo." She said.
