OVER THE MOON! NEMESIS RESIDES IN A WORLD OF SHADOWS!

(If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2? ~George Carlin)

Tora sat up on Maroko's bed. Everything was quiet, except for Kyoko's mumbling in her sleep and dark. Tora hopped off the bed and checked out the window, everything was dark outside too. The new moon sat invisible to the naked eye but the stars still hung low, brighter then ever. Every light in the city was out. Tora walked back to the bed and jumped onto Maroko's stomach. "Maroko... Wake up... Nemesis has placed the curses of Night and Sleep on the Earth... You have to fight it and get up!" Marko rolled over. "I didn't want to do this, well, actually, I did." Tora tensed her paw and pulled away the covers. She pounced on Maroko's leg. Maroko screamed and sat up in bed. "Tora!" "Well, that broke the curse..." "Hey!" Kyoko sat up rubbing her eyes. "Who woke me up?" Silence threw a pillow across the room. "Shut up, I'm trying to sleep."

"Listen to me girls!" "Tora?" "Now is the time we have to fight Nemesis. We have to awaken the other Sailor Scouts but before that, well need to awaken their cats!" "Why?" "Good cats know the perfect way to awaken their sleep humans!"

They walked out of the bedroom, still in their pajamas. "Maroko and Silence! Go find Sailor Little Moon, Sailor Chibi Moon and Sailor Moon. Kyoko! Go find Ciran." "Okay! ... Who?" Tora sat down. "That's right, you've never met him.... Maroko! Go find Ciran! You two go find the other Sailor Scouts. But for goodness sakes, don't awaken anyone who isn't a Sailor Scout, especially if they seem to be having a nightmare!" "What are you going to do Tora?" Silence asked suspiciously. "I'm going to wake up Pisces! We'll need her help."

Silence and Kyoko snuck into the Tsukino home. "Okay, Usagi's room is there, Chibi Usa's is there and Batafurai's is there." "I'll get Batafurai," "That means you get Chibi Usa too." "No way! I have to wake up two?" "Batafurai isn't like the other two, she doesn't count as- wait a minute, just go before I kick your ass!" Kyoko grunted and walked into Batafurai's room.

Maroko snuck threw Ciran's house. "Oh Ciran, where are you? Damn it, I've never been in his house before!" Maroko tripped over something and looked towards her feet. "ELSHIDI!"

"Bata-Chan, time to awaken and eat you porridge or you'll be late for school." Bata rolled over and mumbled. "Bata-Chan! Wake up before I- oh wait!" Kyoko picked up Devin. "Wake up little neko!" Devin slept soundly in her arms. "Hmm... I wonder if..." Kyoko put Devin in Bata's arms and put their mouths very close. "And now the princess, Comatose Beauty will awaken the also sleeping Frog Prince with a magical, beaver kiss." She pushed Devin and Bata's heads together and made them kiss, regardless of the fact that cats don't have lips. Bata and Devin opened their eyes and screamed.

Silence sighed. "I bet you could hear that scream from four miles away but she's still out cold!" "Oh Mamoru... let's eat some more..." Usagi mumbled. "Is that all she dreams about? Wait, what did Tora say, Cats..." Silence picked up Luna from the bottom of Usagi's bed. "Ohayo, Chibi neko..." Luna opened her eyes and freaked out. "Hey!" Silence put her down. "Relax! Nemesis put some curse on the world now everyone's asleep. Wake up Usagi, because I can't." Luna sat over Usagi and stared down at her. "Oh Buns..." (My apology but I am at a lose of a Japanese nickname, so I'll just use the English manga one)

"Elshidi! Tell me where Ciran is!" "Who?" Maroko hung her head. "That's right, I can't trust you for much... Elshidi, your master," "Ciran!" "Yes, where is he?" "...Asleep?" "Yes, but where is he asleep?" "Ummm... one of those doors..." Elshidi pointed to two doors. Maroko sighed. "Okay."

"PISCES! WAKE UP! YOU LAZY GIRL! I THOUGHT YOU WANTED REVENGE!" Tora yelled, tugging on Pisces's ear. "Not now... oh Karuma... you're so cute..." Tora stopped. "Karuma... so cute? WHAT IS SHE DREAMING ABOUT?"

Kyoko sat by Chibi Usa's bed, playing with Diana. "This is fun, just like playing with dolls!" Diana opened her eyes and became very frightened. "Oh! Don't be scared neko, just wake up Chibi Usa, Sailor scouts have work to do!"

"Oh Buns... I made you some cake...." "Mamoru...?" Usagi sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Mamoru?" Silence cheered. "Thank you Luna! But... I'm afraid you'll have to sit this mission out... All the cats will."

Maroko opened the first door and a broom fell on her head. "Okay, that's the wrong door." She opened the next one and walked into Ciran's bedroom. "Elshidi?" She looked into her arms the cat was fast asleep. Maroko held out Elshidi and dropped her on Ciran's head. They both awoke in a hurry.

"Marko?" Ciran rubbed his eyes. "Why are you in my room? In your pajamas? Dropping cats on my head?" "Sailor Scout stuff! We need Solar Sailor!" "Stop calling me that."

"Pisces... WAKE UP!" "No Kuruma, I want to stay with you!" Tora sighed. "Okay, fine, well do it that way.

Oh my dear sweet Pisces..."

"Yes?" "Please awaken and save this world, before nemesis comes after us..." Pisces began to cry in her sleep. "I will save them..." She opened her eyes and rolled over. "NO! Five more minutes..." "PISCES JUST GET UP!"

"Chibi Usa! Time to go!" Diana called. "Is that you Diana?" Chibi Usa opened her eyes. "Yeah! Now let's go."

They all came back to Maroko's apartment for Tora to give them further instructions. Tora and Pisces were sitting on the couch. "Tora? How did you get her so fast?" "Pisces slept here last night on the couch. She had nowhere to go so we had to take care of her. Come one Sailor Scout, let's go to the park, we may need an open area to do this..."

They all stood in a circle on the bridge. "Sailor Teleport..." They all held hands and closed their eyes. A white bubble of light appeared around them. "It's working..." They began to lift into the air but the bubble popped and they all fell down. "Oh no! What went wrong?" "It's because some of us aren't Sailor Scouts..." Silence said, glaring at Pisces and Ciran. "Oh screw this! If we're trying to get somewhere I'll do it!" Pisces sat in the center of the circle with Tora in her lap.

Pisces threw her arms in the air and chanted in a foreign langue. A light appeared around them. Maroko... the key I have placed around your neck will allow you all to go home... granted you're all alive. What if none of us come out alive?

Umm... Nemesis controls the universe I guess...

Maroko blinked and suddenly, they were surrounded by darkness. "Where... are we?" "This is Nemesis's palace behind the moon." "Behind the moon?" "Yes. It's time to go inside Sailor Scouts." Tora leapt out of Pisces's arms. "But, we can't even see!" "Well..." Pisces walked behind them and picked up a torch hanging from the wall. "I guess this will be enough light." "It will have to be, let's hurry!"

FIN!
