"Mom, I'm home!!" Usagi yelled removing her shoes at the front door of the Tsukino house. Coming into the kitchen, she grabs a cookie from the jar on the counter.
"I'm glad you're home Usagi. You cousin, Chibiusa has stopped by for a short visit. You should go say hi."
"Yeah, ok." Usagi answered nonchalantly. Finishing her cookie, she headed up the stairs towards the attic bedroom. As she reached the door to Chibiusa's room, Usagi stopped. She could swear she heard two voices coming from inside the room. One voice she recognized as her future daughters, but whom was she talking to? Usagi knew it was wrong, but she simply couldn't resist pushing the door open a crack to listen in on the conversation.
**********
Sitting cross-legged on her bed, Chibiusa Small Lady pulled out a familiar floating cathead. Pressing a button on Luna-P's nose, she connects with the Senshi communicator of one of her best friends in the future. "Beep."
"Hey. Sailor Saturn here. What's the problem?"
"Hotaru-chan, it's Small Lady."
"Chibiusa-chan? I thought you were in the 20th century." Future Hotaru exclaims with surprise. "Why are you not visiting with Usagi and the Senshi?"
"Antiny, Damien, and Triston are visiting with their parents. I got the feeling they didn't want me tagging along."
"Is that why you seem so upset?"
"Well - It's just - Rei, Makoto, and Ami were really excited about meeting Damien, Triston, and Antiny." Chibiusa paused. "Usagi never got that excited about my visits. She went with Minako on a shopping trip a couple of hours ago."
Hotaru listened to her friend sympathetically. "I'm sure she was glad to see you, Chibiusa-chan, but this is your third or fourth trip to the 20th century. The other Senshi have never met their future kids before."
"I know that, Hotaru-chan." Chibiusa sighed. "I guess I was just a little jealous. Antiny and Ami seemed to hit it off immediately. Usagi and I spend most of our time fighting."
"It's because you two have so much in common."
Chibiusa wrinkled her nose at this but did not respond. Hotaru giggled. "Anyways, how are your sisters?"
"Sisters?" Hotaru questioned with confusion. "I don't have any sis - oh, you mean Hoshi and Mishi? They are Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama's." She thought about it. "I suppose that does make them my sisters, doesn't it?"
Chibiusa nodded. "Hotaru-chan, how come Mishi doesn't talk?"
Hotaru sighed. "It is a long story - " CRASH!!
Both Chibiusa and Hotaru jumped. "What was that?!" They exclaimed in unison. Hotaru gritted her teeth. "I'll bet Hoshi had something to do with it. I'd better go see. See you when you get back, Chibiusa."
"Yeah, bye." Chibiusa pressed Luna-P's nose turned the communicator off and sat her down beside the bed. She sighed boredly lying back on her bed.
**********
Still standing outside her future daughters door, Usagi frowned. She herself recognized that her and Chibiusa weren't all that close, but she never would have thought her daughter felt the same way. She peaked through the crack in the door. Chibiusa was lying on her bed starring up at the ceiling. "I was sure she'd want to hang out with her friends rather than with me. I really should apologize for leaving her like I did."
Breathing in deeply, she knocked on the door. Chibiusa looked up surprised. Who could that be? It couldn't possibly be Usagi. She'd just come barging in. "Come in." She called out.
Usagi pushed the door the rest of the way open. Chibiusa sat up starring at her surprised. "Hey, Chibiusa. What're you doing?" She came in sitting down on the bed next to Chibiusa.
Chibiusa eyed her suspiciously. "What does it look I'm doing? What do you want?"
Usagi quickly began to rethink weather or not she should've come up here, but shook it off just as quickly. "Chibiusa, I am sorry for leaving you this morning. I thought you were going to stay and play with Antiny."
Chibiusa sat up looking down at the floor uncomfortably. What was she supposed to say? "Antiny wanted to spend the time with his mother. They didn't really want me bothering them."
"Ami and Antiny really seemed to get along great, huh?" Chibiusa nodded frowning. For a minute there was an uncomfortable silence. Neither one of them wanted to admit that their relationship was nowhere near where they would have likely it to be. The silence continued.
A few minutes later, Usagi was the one who finally broke the uncomfortable silence. "Gomen nasi, Chibiusa. I shouldn't have left you for Minako." Chibiusa didn't answer. Usagi thought for a moment. "I have an idea. Why don't you call up Mamo-chan, and we can all go out to eat somewhere? I'll even pay for dessert."
Chibiusa watched Usagi shocked. "You want ME to call Mamo-chan?" It seemed Chibiusa wasn't the only one who had done some growing up in the last year. (Author's Notes: Usagi did seem a lot more grown-up as the Starlight series progressed. Don't you think?)
Usagi nodded. "I'll go ask Mama. You go ahead and change and we'll head over to Mamoru's place." Getting up, Usagi headed back downstairs to the kitchen.
**********
About 45 minutes later, Usagi, Mamoru, and Chibiusa are sitting down at a restaurant downtown called "The Moon and Stars." They have just finished a deluxe popcorn shrimp appetizer and are focusing on their salads. Usagi and Chibiusa have house salads with ranch dressing and Mamoru has a small ceaser salad. "Chibiusa-chan, how come you never told us you had a little brother? How come we didn't see him during the Nemesis attack?" Usagi inquires.
"You never asked." Chibiusa replies taking another bite of her salad. "And he was born after Nemesis was defeated."
"So, We're going to have a boy in the future." Mamoru thought this over silently in his head. The more he thought about it the more he liked the idea. There were plenty of things he could do with a boy that Chibiusa simply wouldn't be interested in. It would be nice to have a son.
"What's wrong, Mamo-chan?" Chibiusa asked curiously. Mamoru blinked. He hadn't said anything for about 5 minutes. Both Usagi and Chibiusa were starring at him.
"Nothing. Nothing's wrong." He assured them. "I was just thinking."
"About what?"
Mamoru thought about it. He wasn't going to tell her what he'd really been thinking about. "What is the story between you and Triston?" He asked covering himself.
"Hai." Usagi agreed quickly. "Do you like him or what?"
Chibiusa blushed deeply. "N - no. I -He doesn't like me that much."
"But, he protected you yesterday." Usagi argued.
Again, Chibiusa blushed. "He was just doing his job. Besides, he thinks I'm just a little kid."
"He's too old for you." Mamoru replied quickly. Usagi nodded.
Chibiusa glared at them. "Hey. I am NOT a little kid!! I'm 10 years old now."
"He is still too old for you." Mamoru replied firmly.
Chibiusa rolled her eyes. "Only by two years." She argued. "He's only 12 years old.
"TWELVE?" Usagi and Mamoru exclaimed at the same time. "I could have sworn he was 14." Mamoru replied.
"No." Chibiusa replied. "Think about who his mother is."
"Hmm. That is a little better, I suppose." Mamoru pondered.
Usagi grinned. "So, you DO like him!!"
"DO NOT!"
"Do too."
"DO NOT!!"
"Do too."
"I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON TRISTON!!!"
"You said it, not me." Chibiusa glowered at her future mother.
"Anyways." Mamoru interrupted trying to stop the fight. People were starting to stare at them. "You won't be here very long this time, right Chibiusa-chan? Maybe you two could think of something everyone could do together."
"That's a great idea, Mamo-chan!!" Usagi enthusiastically agreed. "Where should we go?"
"To the Ice Rink." Chibiusa replied.
"No way." Usagi put in. "I'm no good as ice skating."
"Precisely why I suggested it." Chibiusa muttered.
"Nani?"
"Nothing. How about the beach then?"
"The beach. That's great!!" Usagi agreed.
"We can invite Hotaru too." Chibiusa grinned.
"And Michiru and Haruka." Usagi put in. The rest of dinner was uneventful with the main topic being the upcoming trip to the beach. They'd need new bathing suits of course, and Mamoru had money. . .
