A.N. Shhhh. Be quiet! I'm writing this at like 12:30 pm and my parents are asleep. I'm trying to not let the keyboard make much sound. It isn't working so far -_-' I want to thank Suzan aka Sammie for reviewing! I hope she enjoys seeing her pen name here.

"Oh Usagi honey! We're going on a summer vacation to China! Isn't that wonderful?" Ikuko, Usagi's mother, said one day. And that was how all of this started.
"NANI?! You're going on vacation?!" Rei's shout could be heard throughout the Hikawa Shrine the next day when Usagi came to tell them at a senshi meeting. "Why didn't you tell us sooner?!"
"It kind of came as a surprise to me too," Usagi murmured. "Kaasan just told me yesterday and we're leaving tomorrow."
"But Usagi, what about Sailor Moon? What if we're attacked while you're gone?" Ami asked, looking up from her book.
"Well, I've thought about that," Usagi said, closing her eyes to the shocked looks that she knew were one her friends faces. She mentally frowned. ~They don't even think I'm capable of thinking!~ she thought. She spoke out loud, "Since the monsters are mainly after the Ginzuishou they'll just be following me, plus the added factor that there hasn't been any monster attacks since the battle with Galaxia. I doubt that there'll be a monster attack while I'm gone." When she opened her eyes she saw that Makato had fainted and Ami was rapidly fanning her face. Usagi sweat dropped.
Minako stood up and walked over to Usagi, curiously putting her hand onto her forehead.
"Well, your temperatures fine," she said, straightening up. "I don't think your sick."
This just made Usagi sweat drop more.
Makato woke up. "Did you guys hear what I did? Was Usagi acting smart?!"
Usagi nodded.
This nearly caused Makato to faint again but Ami gave her something to drink.
Rei smirked. "Well it looks like our little Odango Atama is actually getting better!"
"Awwww Rei! Don't call me that!" Usagi whined. This caused everyone in the room to fall over.
"Baka," Rei muttered, clutching her head.
Usagi checked her watch. "Kami-sama! I'm late to go grocery shopping!" she shrieked and sped out of the room. "See you guys in two weeks!" she shouted over her shoulder. Usagi stumbled on the stairs and fell down a few but managed to reach the end of the stairs with fewer scratches than last time.
Rei, Minako, Makato, and Ami sweat dropped then sighed. "I guess we can't hope for much more," they all said in unison.
Usagi slowed to a walk on the sidewalk. "I had to lie to get out of there. I don't need to go to the grocery store. They don't even ask why I act like the way I do," Usagi muttered. "They just assume that I'm this carefree, klutzy teenage girl who's really stupid. But," she sighed as she waited for the walk sign. "They _are_ just doing it to toughen me up."
Usagi entered her house, went into her room, and started packing.
The next day went by as a blur. They were packing, then they got onto the airplane for about two hours, then they were in China and found a hotel near this tourist sight about springs. It was dark by then so they decided to go to sleep early.
Usagi woke up near the after noon and saw a note next to her bed. It said:
_Dear Usagi,
We knew you wanted to sleep in so I brought you in some breakfast. Don't sleep too late or it will get cold! By the time you get this we will be having a picnic near Jusenkyo Springs. Meet us there!
Love,
Kaasan(^_^)
P.S. DON'T FORGET TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH!_
Usagi sweat dropped at the postscript her kaasan added. "I brush my teeth," she muttered, then began to get dressed.
Just like the note said she found her breakfast next to her bed. She ate it quickly and brushed her hair as she looked for the map she found in her room yesterday. Usagi grabbed it from the seat of a chair and raced out of the hotel, saying a quick greeting to the doorman in Chinese ("Nihao!"). He smiled back and waved as he saw the blonde girl race out, leaving a small dust cloud trailing behind.
She gasped for breath as she reached the picnic area her mother had described. "I finally *huff* found *gasp* it," she said when she reached her family. They laughed at her as she waved her arms about, trying to cool her burning face.
"Man! After that run I sure am hungry!" Usagi said, smiling. The smile did not fool her family, however, and Shingo pulled his plate away and covered it protectively.
Usagi dug in and almost half of the food was gone before she was full in about two minutes.
Her family sweat dropped.
"Oi, Usagi, do you even _taste_ the food when you eat?" Shingo asked, wide-eyed. Living with his sister his whole life never prepares him whenever she eats.
"Um, not really," Usagi said sheepishly. Shingo fell over. "But I know it tastes good!"
Suddenly screams filled the air and Usagi's carefree attitude disappeared and was replaced with a serious one.
"What's going on?" Her father, Kenji, asked, standing up.
Usagi got worried. "Maybe we should just find a safe place to hide," she said, hoping they would go with it and let her transform in a secluded area.
"Iie, your Tousan is right," Ikuko said, standing up. "We have to help those people!"
Before Usagi could reply the monster burst from the bushes and startled them. It was a giant monster and was half crab and half spider. As it charged toward them Ikuko and Kenji stood in front of their children to protect them.
When the monster stood about a yard away, Usagi could stand it no longer.
"Eternal Moon Power....Make up!"
Her family turned toward her and their eyes widened as they saw that, in Usagi's place, was Eternal Sailor Moon.
"Wha--?" they started to say but were cut off as Eternal Sailor Moon (ESM from now on) smiled at them.
"It's going to be alright," she said. "I'll make it pay for interrupting our picnic!" despite the situation her family still sweat dropped. Only one thought went through their minds. ~It's still Usagi alright.~
ESM got into a fighting stance. "Alright you ugly beast! Show me what you've got!" she shouted. ~It's a good thing I take those martial arts lessons from Haruka,~ ESM thought as she punched the monster.
She kept throwing some punches and kicks at the monster, only a few were blocked. Her family watched in awe and fascination as they saw her battle. Unexpectedly the monster seemed to know that ESM was protecting them and threw an attack that was razor sharp at them.
~IIE!~ ESM thought and threw herself in the way of the attack. She winced as the sharp bits of 'shell' cut her and she began to bleed.
"Usagi!" Shingo cried out. "Are you okay?"
She managed a weak smile. "Hai, I'm okay." She didn't tell them the truth, though. She knew that they'd be really worried if they knew that this was the strongest monster she had ever faced by herself.
She ran up and kicked the monster in the gut.
This only seemed to make it angrier because it threw an attack that sent ESM flying threw the air and into Jusenkyo Springs. It jumped after her and they both landed on the ground and jumped back into the air again.
Out of the corner of her eye ESM saw an innocent person start to head toward her as if to help and was afraid that that person would get hurt. ~I've got to end this, fast!~ ESM thought.
Using the last of her energy, and still in the air, ESM decided to use the new attack she made from watching the Starlights battle. She extended her hand and concentrated really hard and shouted, "Star Shower Eliminate!"
She saw, with satisfaction, that her attack worked. Millions of tiny, sharp stars shot from the palm of her hand and hit the monster. It cried out in pain (ESM grimaced at this) and exploded into a pile of moon dust that blew away in the wind.
"Dusted," ESM whispered as she felt water surround her and went unconscious from the lack of energy.
