Chapter Three
Cry for Help
Mamoru lay in bed with his arms around the two sleeping girls he loved the most in the entire universe. To his right was his beautiful princess. She looked so beautiful with her golden hair all over the sheets. Her angelic smile sent chills of love through Mamoru's heart. To Darien's left was sweet little daughter, Chibi-Usa. The little girl with pink ondango was just as beautiful as her mother.
"I have to protect these two" Mamoru thought to himself. "No matter what happens to me nothing can hurt them." His premonitions of danger had not vanished. Even after seeing how happy Usagi was especially to see her friends he still had strong doubts. And now, having to worry about his sweet daughter from the future... It didn't ease his worries.
************************************
Chibi-Usa hopped out bed as soon as the morning sun began to rise. It was only dawn, 6 o'clock but the little girl had work to do. Chibi-Usa ran to the balcony of Mamoru's apartment There she took out a bright shining crystal, The Silver Imperium Crystal.
"I know I shouldn't have taken this again." Chibi-Usa thought remembering what happened the last time she took it with the black moon family, "But this is important. Usagi and Mamoru are in danger. I just know it. " Chibi- Usa had been getting psychic hints of danger. She didn't know it but the were feelings extremely similar to those of Mamoru... "I want to, I have to, protect my parents..." Chibi Usa prayed to herself that they were getting along without it in the future. She was planning to go to right before she left when she went back to the future, that way no one would even miss her.
Chibi-Usa was still very confused. She didn't know why she was getting these strange feelings. She'd never had them before. And she had no idea how she knew her parents were in danger in the past, and not in the 30th century. What if she was wrong? She would be waiting in the past for years while in the meantime the future went haywires without the crystal! But yet, she still had a very strong feeling. A feeling she couldn't ignore. She was almost sure that it really was the Usagi and Mamoru of the past that were in trouble. She hoped she was right. Chibi-Usa put the crystal back in her pocket and sighed. She looked at the moon glowing brightly in the night sky. The same moon Mamoru had watched the night before.
"Queens of the past and future." Rini whispered into the night air closing her eyes. "Please, protect my family and friends. In both the past and future."
A beeping sound inturupted Chibi-Usa's prayer as Luna P Ball suddenly appeared.
"Shhh!" Chibi-Usa said as it started beeping. "You'll wake them up" Chibi- Usa looked back not the apartment checking on her parents.
"Small Lady. Small Lady" The computerized voice called to Chibi-Usa "Hotaru is waiting for you."
Chibi-Usa smiled as she heard that. She had missed her best friend dearly in the 30th century. The Sailor Saturn of the future was with the other outers protecting the Earth from a distance. Even thought Chibi-Usa had the cometary senshi to keep her company she still always found herself wishing herself with her quiet best friend Hotaru. The senshi of the Sailor Quartet were always hyper and active. They had fun together but Chibi-Usa knew it would be even better if Hotaru was with them.
Chibi-Usa creeped out of Mamoru's apartment eager to see the Princess of Saturn. She ran down the steps. At the front door of the apartment building she saw a frail yet beautiful and mysterious looking girl dressed in black, Hotaru.
"Hotaru!" Chibi-Usa smiled.
"Princess" Hotaru smiled and began to kneel down but Chibi-Usa stopped her.
"No need for that." Chibi-Usa said.
"I insist" Hotaru said bowing down again "Very well" Chibi-Usa joined her, curtsying as well to the Princess of Saturn. The two best friends laughed and finally hugged.
"So where were you when everyone was at Usagis' house? Why are you here? How did you know I was awake?" Chibi-Usa asked.
"I was at school and. Oh I don't know..." Hotaru stared sadly down at her friend."Chibi-Usa...Have you been..."
"What's wrong?" Chibi-Usa said worriedly.
Hotaru suddenly looked sick all of a sudden. " Chibi-Usa! I have been so scared lately..." Hotaru started shivering.
Pangs of fear hit Chibi-Usa. "Hotaru?" Chibi-Usa held on to her friend as she shook violently. "Tell me what's wrong?" Chibi-Usa asked panicked.
"The Princess and the Prince in danger...." Hotaru said weakly. Her voice faded as she fainted into Rini's arms.
Chibi-Usa caught her friend before she could hit the floor and hurt herself even more. She stood frozen in place for a few moments shocked at what had happened. Tears started rolling down Chibi-Usa's eyes as she looked at Hotaru. "Mamoru! Usagi! Help me!" Chibi-Usa cried out as loud as she could. "Mommy!"
************************************
"Mommy!" The cries tore through Usagi's heart like a sharp knife as she woke up out of her beautiful dreamland to a harsh and cold world. "Mommy!", the voice echoed through the halls. Chibi-Usa was in trouble.
Usagi ran down to the lobby of the Apartment building as fast as she could, hearing Chibi-Usa's cries. "Chibi-Usa? Are you all right? Chibi-Usa!"
Finally, she saw Chibi-Usa outside holding someone in her arms. As she got closer Usagi saw that it was Hotaru and gasped. "Hotaru! What happened?" She took Hotaru from Chibi-Usa into her own arms.
"Mommy!" Tears rolled down Chibi_Usa's small face as she held on tight to the skirts of her mother's night gown. "I don't know what happened! She just fainted!" Chibi-Usa sobbed as Mamoru finally joined them.
"Mamoru! What took you so long? Help me with Hotaru." Usagi said quickly glancing back at him. Mamoru mumbled something as he drowsily took Hotaru's unconscious body from Usagi.
"Mamo-chan...are you okay?" Usagi said with a worried look on her face. Mamoru looked very sick. His was was an eerie pale and his eyes looked cold.
"Yes, I am fine..." Mamoru murmured. He walked into the apartment building without even waiting for his girlfriend and daughter. Usagi took Chibi- Usa's hand gently and picked her up. "It's ok honey." She told the little girl. Everything's fine. Usagi got insed the building and joined Mamoru at the elevator as he pressed the button for up with Hotaru in his arms. Usagi stared at Mamoru. She knew something was wrong. Then she noticed Chibi-Usa who was still sobbing into Usagi's shoulder.
Usagi kissed her daughter's head. "It's okay honey. We'll call professor Tomoe and then Hotaru will be all right. Okay?" Usagi said reassuringly.
Chibi-Usa nodded holding on to Usagi tightly. The elevator door suddenly opened and Mamoru automatically go in. "Hurry up" he growled. Usagi's heart beat in fear. What was going on. She glanced quickly at Mamoru and then looked down as she got into the elevator besides him. Had she done something wrong? Something was not right. She could feel it in her bones and see it in his eyes. Something was wrong with Mamoru.
Mamoru lay in bed with his arms around the two sleeping girls he loved the most in the entire universe. To his right was his beautiful princess. She looked so beautiful with her golden hair all over the sheets. Her angelic smile sent chills of love through Mamoru's heart. To Darien's left was sweet little daughter, Chibi-Usa.
