Chapter 20: Taiki and Chibi-Usa
While Usagi and Shingo were playing video games, Taiki and Chibi-Usa were upstairs in Chibi-Usa's room. Taiki was there to help the pink-haired girl with her homework, at least, that's what he said he was there to do. Chibi-Usa, on the other hand, wondered if he had any other reasons, like friendship. She really liked him; she didn't know why, but then again, he was a lot like her friends Puu and Hotaru.

So, Chibi-Usa, if I have 3 rice balls in each hand, and you have three in each of your--Chibi-Usa? Are you listening? Chibi-Usa snapped out of her reverie. Oh right, they were supposed to be practicing math.

Um, 12 rice balls? she guessed, hesitating a bit.

You're correct. Now the next problem is... Taiki didn't get to finish his sentence, as a purple light, emitted by the textbook, engulfed the two of them.

Chibi-Usa smiled. It was so warm and comfy. Open, but safe-feeling, like she was inside her Silver Crystal. Taiki was in the purple crystal too, and she was sleeping on his lap, just as she might do with Mamoru. Mamoru. Her eyes shot open.

Did you know that you're the same height as my daddy? she mumbled sleepily. Taiki put a stern hand over her mouth, and she blinked. The room wasn't a purple haze; there were a bunch of people there. One half was dressed in pink and the other half was dressed in purple, and they all seemed angry at each other. One of the people in pink came over to them, yanked Chibi-Usa up by her arm, and roughly shoved Taiki aside.

Yes! You're here! Now we can settle this once and for all! exclaimed the pink girl.

Settle what?! Let me go! screamed Chibi-Usa, kicking her captor. A boy on the purple side smirked.

See? She's a brat. Why can't you see that the dignified Taiki is the better of the two?

Because he's a cold-hearted meanie who needs to learn that dreams and romance are good things! shouted the girl, trying to argue and fight off Chibi-Usa at the same time. While his pink-haired ally fought, Taiki was remembering something he had said to Kakyuu.

They've abandoned the cause for foolish love. They never loved a pair of geniuses. How did these people know he had said that? Were they always spying on him, out for his blood? One of the pink-suited girls stared at him, seeming to bore holes in his head with her eyes.

I know what you're thinking, Kou Taiki. Not only are you cold to Ami, but to your own princess as well. For shame, for shame. See, purple freaks, can't you see that Forehead Boy doesn't deserve any fans?! she exclaimed.

Pink geek, don't you realize that Taiki is far superior to Chibi-Usa? She is a bratty little twit who steals her mom's Silver Crystal, causes the Black Moon's attack, and falls in love with a horse! That's sick! And she's so pink! Pink is a such an obnoxiously cutesy ; give us a mysterious purple Taiki anytime! retorted one of the purple-clad girls.

You're right! It was my fault! I just wanted to be a lady! sobbed Chibi-Usa, awful memories flooding back to her. The head purple girl smirked and raised a ruler over her head, ready to strike down the hated

So, why would a Taiki fan misuse school property? Could it be you don't respect the wishes of your favorite character? quipped one of the girls on the pink side.

There is no better use for anything than to kill the spore! the purple girl roared, and she swung the ruler down at Chibi-Usa's neck.

Crack!

The ruler snapped in two as Taiki and Chibi-Usa both slammed it with their fists. They stood, united between the two feuding groups of fans.

Why are you fighting over us like this!? demanded Chibi-Usa. The two groups started glowing angrily, ignoring her.

You love the spore!

You love Forehead Boy!

Taiki and Chibi-Usa could sense the evil energy--these were enemies. They went into action too, but of a different kind. As they raised their transformation objects to the ceiling, the power of Sailor Senshi surged throughout the room.

Maker Star Power, Make Up!

Moon Crisis, Make Up!

The two groups of fans were stunned for a moment as they watched, amazed and in ecstasy, as their favorites transformed. But, of course, they misintepreted the reason for the transfomations.

So, come here, Star Maker!

Come here, Chibi Moon!

Fight on our side!

Star Gentle Uterus!

Star Maker's attack was not aimed at any of the people, however, it was aimed at a lightbulb on the ceiling. It hit its target, and the lightbulb exploded, sending the crazed fans screaming for cover.

Why'd you do that?! shrieked Chibi Moon, confused.

To create a distraction so we can escape, whispered Star Maker. But before they could go anywhere, another, very eerie light surrounded them and carried them off.
