*Chapter 1*
~Mandy~
Mandy sighed as she grabbed her star covered coat. "I'm leaving now!" she called. She ran out the door. Normally she would ride her scooter home from work but today she decided to walk. She wanted to enjoy herself before her Scout training with Luna began. Lita told her earlier it was really hard because Luna is strict. Mandy worked at the Animal Shelter. She loved animals and loved protecting them. As she walked down the dirt path and onto the sidewalk, she stopped. She heard a small noise. Mandy looked around. By the main road was a bag. Mandy ran over and picked it up. She sat on the sidewalk and opened it. Four kittens came tumbling out. "Oh!" Mandy cried eyes shining. One looked up at her. "Meow?" it asked. Mandy picked it up and fondled it. She looked for a way to carry them to Serena's house. Then she saw a trash can. Mandy ran over to it, keeping a close eye on the kittens and produced a shoe box. She slipped the kittens in and ran to Serena's house.
*Chapter 2*
~Luna~
Luna purred. "Well, they aren't in the best shape… but with some TLC from the Sailor Scouts, they might make it." Mina smiled as Raye picked up a red kitten. The purple one was sleeping in Mandy's lap. Diana, Rini's baby kitten, was asleep on her head. Diana did not like the attention the new kittens were getting. They were the same age as her! As Rini petted the purple one, she said, "Oh! You are just too cute!" That made Diana mad. She leapt off Rini's head and onto the couch. She strut out and into the front yard. A orange cat with black stripes and a black heart on it's forehead walked up. "What's wrong cutie?" it asked. "Oh!" whispered Diana. She stared at his graceful movements as it her jumped over her. He sat down and licked his paw. "Well?" he asked. "I.. Well, my owner is saying how another little kitten is just sooo cute.. And it hurts my feelings…" The orange cat snuggled up to her, and she backed up. "Poor thing.. Want to go play?" he asked. Diana looked into the window where Rini was playing with the kittens. "Sure." she said looking back to him. She looked into his dark black eyes and smiled at him. He turned around. "Come on, let's go!" he said running off. Diana followed laughing.
*Chapter 3*
~Rini~
"She was on my head!" cried Rini. The Sailor Scouts were searching the house for Diana. Mandy patted Rini on the back. "We'll find her. Don't worry! I'm an Animal Expert!" she said. Rini grinned while the others sweat roped. "That's wight Wini… Manby is a exbert!" said the purple kitten. The girls all stared. "You can talk!" they cried. Mandy fell to the floor beside the kitten. She then noticed a yellow moon on his forehead. "He's from the Moon Kingdom!" she cried. Luna hurried over. "He is!" Luna walked around him. "And he's your guardian cat Mandy." Mandy touched his nose. "Mine?" The kitten jumped onto Mandy's head. "By name is Mystic." Mandy stood up and placed the kitten on her shoulder. "Well Mystic, we have a lot to learn about being Sailor Scouts." Mystic nodded. "What about Diana?" cried Rini. She had being watching from the couch and jumped on to Serena's shoulders. "Iiiieee! Rini get off!" Serena clasped on the floor, and Rini tumbled off. Raye took a stance. "She's right! Let's go!" Ami nodded opening the door. The girls marched out. "Where are you going?" Mandy looked up at two shadows. The shadows jumped down and Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune emerged. "We're off to find Diana." said Lita. "Is she lost?" asked Neptune kindly. Rini nodded. "Or did she run away?" asked Uranus. Rini ran behind Serena and began crying. "Amara!" cried Michelle. The two transformed into their natural shapes. "Sorry Rini…" said Amara kneeling down. "Do you forgive me?" Rini popped out and nodded. Mandy watched with interest. She had never met these scouts before. Michelle noticed her staring at them. "Hello. I'm Michelle." she said holding out her hand. "Hi. I'm Mandy… Sailor Star." "You're Lita's sister." said Amara. Mandy nodded. Raye patted the red kitten on her shoulder. "Come on!" A blue kitten was fighting with Ami's short hair. "Come here you." she said giggling. Lita was carrying a green kitten with her. Artimis and Luna were waiting by the gate. "Serena!" said Luna impatiently. "Diana may be in danger!" The group walked down the walk. "So why did you come?" asked Mina. Amara smiled. "Just checking on our friends." "Will you help us?" asked Rini. Michelle smiled. "Sure small fry." replied Amara. "It might help if we were in Sailor form.. Then I could use my computer." said Ami. "Right. Moon Crystal Power!" cried Rini and Serena. They were engulfed in rainbow colored lights. Their dresses melted into their uniforms. The other girls took out their pens. "Mercury power makeup!" Ami was covered in blue icy lights. "Venus power makeup!" Mina was surrounded by stars. "Mars power makeup!" Fire swirled around Raye. "Jupiter power makeup!" Lightning swooped down over Lita. "Star power makeup!" A purple screen circled around Mandy. "Uranus power makeup!" Rocks lifted over Amara. "Neptune power makeup!" Water curled around Michelle. The Sailor Scouts stood before Sailor Moon. Each was in a Sailor Suit and were prepared for action. "Ready?" cried the Champion of Justice. "Ready!" called the scouts. Sailor Mercury was already adjusting her glasses and typing on her mini-puter. "She's somewhere by the school!" she called to Sailor Moon. "Right. Move out!"
*Chapter 4*
~Michelle~
"It pains me to see the little one like this…" "Don't wimp out on me Neptune." scolded Uranus. The scouts had separated into twos. Mars was with Mercury, Jupiter went with Star, Venus went with Saturn, whom had just shown up, and Sailor Moon went with Chibi. Neptune sighed. "You and me both know Diana ran away… we saw her." Neptune said quietly. "True, but Rini doesn't have to know." retorted Uranus. "Where did Diana go?" asked Neptune. "Where ever that other cat took her." replied Uranus, looking into the sun.
"It's so hot!" complained Serena. "Shut up! My kitten is gone!" Rini cried. "Calm down." said Luna looking around. Rini sat down and wiped her eyes, and began crying. "Serena, we have to find her!" Rini cried. Serena looked down. "It.. It's ok Rini." she said patting her. Luna sighed. "I hope Ami can track her down…"
The blue kitten batted at Mercury's glasses. "Quit please!" she cried. Mars looked at the kitten on her shoulder. "I named him Flame." said Mars absent mindedly. "You gonna adopt him?" asked Mercury. Mars nodded. "They were sent to us… I just know it…" Mercury nodded. "This one is cute.. But playful!" Mercury admitted. "I'll call her Wave." Mars nodded. "Poor Rini and Luna…" said Mercury. "And Artimis too…" added Mars. They walked down the alley and shouted out as something leapt toward them.
Uranus looked up. "I heard it.. Come on." said Neptune. The two ran through the streets to the alley. Sailor Mercury was lying on the ground unconscious. "Sailor Mercury!" a group cried. Neptune turned around to see the other Sailor Scouts running toward them. "We heard them scream." said Serena. Luna ran over to Mercury and gave her a lick. "Where's Mars? And the kittens?" "We don't know.. We just got here." replied Uranus. Neptune carefully studied Mercury's body. She whispered something to Uranus. Uranus nodded and turned to the scouts. "Her energy was drained." she said. "How?" asked Serena bending down. Uranus shrugged. Venus and Saturn stepped up. "We'll take her back to Serena's house." said Venus feeling Mercury's forehead. "Can you hold her?" asked Lita. They nodded. "Good luck then…" sniffed Mandy. She had really connected with Ami. She struck a pose. "In the name of justice and Sailor Mercury, I will punish whomever did this!" she cried. Uranus looked at Neptune. "We're gonna follow those two ok?" Uranus asked Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon nodded as Uranus and Neptune walked off.
*Chapter 5*
~Amara~
"This is going to drive me nuts." said Uranus. Neptune turned to her. "Why?" "Those fools know that Sailor Moon has the holy grail. Why'd they take Mercury's heart crystal again?" "So you do think it was the crystal?" asked Neptune. Uranus nodded. "Maybe they are doing something with those crystals." Neptune said rubbing her neck. "Or those kittens." said Amara quietly. Neptune looked at her. "You're right! And that means…" "AHHHH!!" The scouts turned. Neptune nodded. "Lita."
As Neptune and Uranus arrived at the scene, they saw the remaining were already there. Mandy was sitting, shaking. Sailor Mini Moon was patting her back, shaking her head. "We ran back when we figured out what was happening." Neptune exclaimed. "Wait, you know?" asked Sailor Moon. Neptune nodded. "And if I were you, I'd get rid of that kitten!" said Uranus pointing at Mystic. "Mystic? He didn't do it!" cried Mandy scooping him up. He cowered in her arms. "How can you tell?" asked Chibi. "Well, no one disappeared before the kittens came. And only the people with the kittens have been attacked!" Uranus said. She tried to take Mystic. "No!" cried Mandy. She ran away with the kitten. Neptune turned to Uranus. "Poor girl… you didn't have to be so mean!" "I had no choice! The fool wouldn't listen!" "Please…. Stop." The Scouts turned around. "Who said that?" called Uranus. Chibi pulled on her mom's skirt. As Serena looked down at her, Chibi pointed to Jupiter. Jupiter was looking up, eyelids fluttering. "Jupiter!" cried Sailor Moon kneeling down. "Please…" coughed Jupiter. "Don't talk. You need your strength." said Sailor Moon holding her. "Find, Mandy… take.. Kitten." Sailor Jupiter fainted again. Serena looked up at Uranus, tears running down her face. "We have to do what she asked."
