AN: hi.

Miki stared down at the the bubbly soup Miya had brought in.

"What is it again?" she asked, poking it with her spoon.

Miya sighed. "Oatmeal! But don't eat it like that. Let me put milk in it." She picked up a cup and tilted it over the 'oatmeal', pouring milk in it. "See? Now you can eat it." She grinned then sat down on the chair again. "Go on, eat!"

Miki pushed the tray away from her. "No thanks. Not hungry."

Almost instantly, Queen Serenity walked in the opened door and glared down at Miya. She smiled and leaned down.

"Miya, say good bye to your sister," Serenity told her. "You are leaving to the academy right now."

"Now?!" Miki yelped. "Why does she have to leave ~now~?"

Serenity looked at her, and grinned. "Well, you are leaving today too."

"I am? Where?"

Miya looked at Serenity strangely, the same way Miki looked at her.

"I've been doing some thinking," the Queen said seriously. "Well, of course you know that the Sailor Scouts are unneeded. The universe is very safe. But me and Rini can't seem to find out why you were destined to be one. So we are sending you to the past, right after Sailor Moon. She would be about the age of thirty or forty. Anyway, we are almost certain that is where danger is." She smiled warmly at her. "Of course, we'll send a gaurdian."

"But--when am i leaving?" she stammered.

Serenity grinned and sat on the edge of the bed. "As soon as possible, of course. We don't want to keep anyone waiting." She looked at Miya. "Well, let's go." She stood up and walked out of the room. "Lady Hikari is already here!" she called. "To pick you up." And they heard the large golden door close."

Miya cried out sadly. "Ohh! I didn't know i'd leave ~today~!"

"Lady Miya!" a new voice rang through the closed door. It sounded old and tired. "Let's go!"

"That must be Lady Hikari," Miki said drily. "I'll miss you. Promise to write me, and ask Queen Serenity to send it to th future until you know how." Without any warning, she broke out into tears. "~Oh Miya~!" She fell forward and hugged her.

"I'll miss you too, Miki," Miya said, sniffling.

"~Lady Miya~!" the voice screamed.

Miya got up and started to walk towards the door. Without a backward glance at Miki, she left. Miki sighed and lied back down in bed and stared out her now opened window. The trees were so much different than on earth. The leaves were all completely round, like a sphere, and didn't look like they ever changed color, even in the fall.

If Miki ~was~ Sailor Earth, she surely wouldn't survive here. Nothing was earthy. The only green room she can remember is her own room. And all the plants were strange looking, especially the ones inside.

She just couldn't live here.

Miki sat up straight and screamed, "~SERENITY~!"

It took a while before she heard running footsteps along her corridor, and her door being slammed open.

"Yes, Miki, are you alright?" Queen Serenity panted.

Miki blinked. "Oh, yes i'm fine." She smiled, then went on to the point. "I must leave now! To--wherever i was going to go." She put on the most anxious face she could have ever made. "Please?"

Serenity sighed and hung her head. "I thought it was an emegency." She quickly looked up again; her face was stern. "Are you sure?"

Miki nodded briskly. "Yes. Please."

"Well...i suppose you are well enough," the Queen agreed. "I guess you may leave now. The sooner the better, right?"

Miki jumped out of bed. "Absolutely. Now--where do we go to--to get to the past?"

Serenity grinned. "We must ask Rini, first, if she'll lend us her special Time Key Pluto had given her."

She nodded and ran out the door, out the corridor door, and into the hallway. Serenity came up to her patiently, and they both walked down the large hallway and into the dining room. Princess Rini was sitting there playing cards with Prince Nori.

"Rini," she started. "Miki is leaving today. She has decided to, herself. May she use your Time Key?"

Rini hesitated, then reached down her shirt and pulled out a necklace. On it was a small golden key with a pink ruby at the top.

"I guess so," Rini said slowly. She reached over and gave it to Miki with a few second thoughts. "Be careful with it."

Miki smiled and put it on. "Thank you. And i will, of course i will." She tucked it in her shirt and looked at Nori. "See ya!"

He smiled and gave her a hand and she shook it. "Stay safe, Sailor Earth." She blushed then let go. Nori grinned then returned to his game.

Miki turned to Serenity. "Where is Mori?"

"Follow me."

Serenity led her down a the hallway then turned left then turned right. She kept walking until she came to a large white door with a netting as the window. She pushed it open and it showed a large white library with a massive variety of books. Mori was sitting in the way back behind a large pile of thick books.

"Mori," she said, walking over to her. Mori looked up at her. "I'm leaving now. To Earth, i mean."

"You are?" Mori looked at Serenity. "Is she well enough?" When she nodded, Mori looked back at Miki and grinned. "Well it looks like my little sister has grown up, huh?" She stood up, placing her book on the small table next to the chair, and hugged Miki. She leaned closer to her ear and whispered so that only she could hear, "You and Miya come back soon. Everything will be different, trust me, and you'll be treated like royalty." She let go and moved away and sat back down.

Miki stood still and tried to sort out what she said. "We can always keep in touch with our minds, right?" Mori looked up and smiled.

Miki turned back to Serenity who was looking inside a very old book, and said, "Let's go."

They walked out of the huge library and turned right. At the end of that hallway were giant stained-glass doors. Serenity pushed them open, too, and they were looking at the Moon Kingdom. Serenity walked down the steps and stopped at bottom, Miki following.

"Well, i suppose i should give you a gift, hm?" she asked, grinned.

"Oh, no, i don't need one," Miki insisted, but Serenity pulled out a retangular box and gave it to her.

"Open this when you see danger and use it. You're guardian i'll send will tell you anything other questions." She looked at earth and sighed. "I'll give word to your father. He'll be proud." She looked back at Miki and leaned down. "Whenever you're ready, take out that key and yell 'Earthian Moon Time Key Activate!' Understnad?"

Miki nodded and instantly took out the key. She held it up high and yelled, "EARTHIAN MOON TIME KEY ACTIVATE!" Everything around her suddenly dissolved and she felt herself being pulled upward.

"Use your mind to tell where you want to go.."

The last sentence was also dissolved and she had to guess that the last word was 'go.' She cleared her mind of everything except of the Earth.

POP

Miki was no longer standing in the Moon Kingdom. In fact, she was no longer standing. It seemed that she had just fallen from the sky, and had landed in someone's lap.

Quickly, she rolled over and fell on her face on hard concrete.

"I'm so sorry!" she yelled, not even looking up.

"Who ~are~ you?" It was a male voice.

Miki looked up and saw that she had landed on a teenager. He had short and messy blackish hair with brown eyes. Next to him was a preppy-looking girl with shoulder-length brown hair and blue eyes. But Miki's eyes were mainly on the guy. He was so handsome.

"Miki!"

Suddenly she found herself staring and quickly looked away and scanned the landscape for the person who called her name. There was a darkskinned girl with long flowing blonde hair, standing on her toes waving at her. She suddenly flushed; this girl looked like a klutzy 'blonde.'

"Miki! I've been looking for you!" The blonde ran over, giggling like a blonde would, and stopped abruptly when she was in front of her.

"Who are you?" Miki asked. "How do you know me?"

"Oh, excuse me," said the blonde, looking at the couple. "Do you mind?" The couple raised their eyebrows, then got up and walked away. The blonde looked back at Miki and cocked her head side to side giggling. "Queen Serenity sent for me. I'm Hitomi!"

Miki stared blankly at her. "~You're~ my guardian?!"

Hitomi crossed her arms and tried to look serious, but was instantly acting goofy. "Of course i am, silly. Um--usually i take farret form, but Her Highness told me to be human. I can shapeshift from ferret to human after all. It comes in handy when i'm ferrets aren't alloud in a pub, but humans c--"

"There must be a mistake!" Miki shrieked. "You can't be my guardian! You just--can't!" She threw her hands in the air and turned around. A clumsy blonde just can't be a guardian to a Sailor Scout, she thought selfishly.

"Well...Serenity told ~me~ to go, so here i am!" Hitomi grinned. All of a sudden, she started spinning around and doing flips and making funny noises all over the park. Miki sat on the bench and watched her, chin in hands, wondering why she was assigned ~this~ as a guardian.
