Chibi Usa giggled into her drink as she listened her Usagi and the girls that sat behind her. Looking up at Dorothy she had to hold her laughter in not to create a scene. Dorothy had a stunned look on her face. It seemed she did not believe the stories told of their so-called Senshi meetings. How something serious would become a gossip fest.
She looked at Chibi Usa smiling from under her ball cap, hoping to hide her face and most of her hair.
"You can't be serious." Chibi Usa shook her head grinning. At the ding of the doorbell she looked up to see the four outers arrive.
"We have trouble. The inner senshi are not as perceptive as their older companions. They will see us and recognize us. Puu and Hotaru the most."
Dorothy smiled and stirred her drink. "On my mark make haste to the door." As the outers past by Dorothy stood knocking into them.
"You can't be serious. There is no way the Three Lights are starting up again."
Chibi Usa stood. "Look at what you did. Now I have to wash this off." Taking off quickly she barreled past the senshi knocking them down again. Dorothy turned and helps the girls up apologizing. Minako quickly attached herself to Dorothy.
"What did you say about the Three Lights?"
"Only that my friend had heard that they might be starting up again. I just can't see why in all the space they would come here? Isn't this where that Galaxia TV station ruined their last concert? Who knows? Well I must be off I have a rabbit to chase down. Tah." Flicking her hair over her shoulder caused a familiar wristwatch to be flashed for a second.
Chibi Usa raised and eyebrow as Dorothy exited. "Don't you think you went a little overboard?"
Dorothy shrugged. "I love them I really do. I just don't like the way they had treated your mother in the future. Besides you mother never really clarified how we are to raise their suspicions." Both girls looked up to see they were being watched. The wind picked up blowing the girls cloths around and caused Chibi Usa's hat to fly off reveling her long pink hair. Smiling she gave as short wave the window before grabbing Dorothy's hand and trotting off as rain began to fall.
Dorothy laughed. "And you complained about me."
Chibi Usa smiled back. "At least we were not wearing our school uniforms for them to really track us down." She began to pick up speed. "But just in case this rain doesn't slow them down I think we better put some blocks between us and them."
For three month's this continued. The girls playing mind games with them and the boys taking it upon themselves to pop up at the shrine causing the girls to take notice of them and wonder. Not to mention the new senshi popping up to suddenly save their elders and then quickly disappearing.
Finally the time had come to tell the others. The girls and boys all agreed too much time had past. Chibi Usa and Dorothy watched a battle in a near by tree. The girls were getting beat back once again by the creature not allowing them to find it's weakness but yet it knew all of theirs.
"I don't like this. They have no clue as to whom they are fighting. They don't realize that Diamondo is sending these creatures that is why it knows most of their moves."
Dorothy shrugged. "Yes, but didn't he use the power the phantom gave him and not his own. Therefore they have no clue and Aunty shows no signs of letting them know anytime soon."
"She is scared to see them. I can see it in my mothers eyes as she watches them." Standing up she nodded. "I think it is time. Momma has had time to get over what ever it is that is troubling her. We are wasting time on stupidity while our world crumbles. I can't sit and watch as they get kicked around."
Taking a leap from her perch she began her own assault followed by Dorothy. Once Eternal Sailormoon had destroyed the creature they turned their attentions on to the new comers who still sat in the shadows bracing for an attack.
"Who are you?" Uranus barked out. Her copy shrugged.
"The future, from which one we will not tell on this night."
Eternal Sailormoon stepped closer. " Chibi Usa?"
"Perhaps, tomorrow gather to the Zukino residence. There you will be told of us and of you enemy."
Quickly they vanished before the others got any closer. No one noticed the pair of eyes watching with a smile. Eternal Sailormoon rubbed her arm in worry. Venus looked at her and then glared where the others once had been.
"It is late. There is no school tomorrow. We meet at Rei's to discuss this." The tone of her voice left no questioning. Each nodded their head before heading off towards their own home. Venus stood beside her princess." I will walk you home."
Moon looked up and gave a small smile in thanks her mind stilled worried over everything. Worried that Chibi Usa here in the past meant something worse was coming.
Rei pounded her hand into the table. "No way! There is no way we are going there. If that was really Chibi Usa she would have contacted us sooner and not played childish games."
A few nodded agreeing with her. Minako turned to Setsuna, who had her fingers resting on her temples in concentration. With a heavy sigh she lowered her hands.
"I can not see past a certain point in the future. Diana was some how able to have locked the future from my site. Only the Neo Queen would have that power to give her. I have no clue as to why but something must have happened that I am not to know." Looking around she sighed again. Why must she spell everything out? "A battle or event in the future is affecting the past and/or vise versa. Similar to what happened with the black moon family. Only I must be evolved for me not to see."
A knock and Grandfather Hino sliding the door back halted all conversation. "Rei there is a young girl here asking for you."
"Can't you see we are busy? Tell her to come back later or leave a message." He with drew his head and popped it back a few seconds later.
"She said, Bleh." Giving them all the evil eye and a raspberry. " If you don't wish to see her she will go back home down Cherry Hill. And to tell odango attama to stop eating or she will be to fat for Mamaru's surprise visit back." He closed the door with a snap
Out side Chibi Usa thanked the man and on the steps counting. Once she reached zero a smirked played on her lips once she heard the commotion coming from Rei's room.
Usagi wailed about on about how she could know about Mamoru coming back, a few cursing could be heard from different people and few yelled about Cherry Hill Road. She stood and turned once she knew they were behind her.
"I figured you would spend all day here deciding to come or not. So I came to get you." With out looking back she walked from the shrine towards the house she hoped was still standing, leaving Dorothy with the boys…alone.
They quickly caught up with her and were even quickly annoyed with the answers she wasn't giving. Once they reached the house she told them to stay while she slipped through the gate. A few moments later she trotted back laughing. She ushered them through and to the back of the house.
Ami looked as perplexed as the others. " I thought this was Zukino, Nozomi's house?"
Chibi usa looked back and giggled. "It is, she is our guardian while we are here."
OUR???
Rounding the house they found out what "our" meant. The five boys they had been watching as of late were running around the yard playing a form of the game Tag. They quickly stopped once they seen the girls enter.
The one with a braid began to snicker. "Oh, man, girl you are in it deep. When Aunty …" his words cut short by the boy with black hair stuffing his mouth.
"Baka, will you ever shut up." Braid nodded his head yes spat out his braid and promptly answered no.
A faint blush creped across Ami's cheeks. "Chibi Usa, are they…I mean they are.... did come with you"
Chibi Usa smiled wickedly, " They came with me from the future if that is what you are asking?"
A few caught on to the implied meaning blushing as well.
"Honestly did you really think the Queen was the only one capable of having children?" Turing towards the house they seen a young girl walking towards them. Long blond hair and dark odd-looking eyebrows wearing a smirk familiar to them. Standing next to Chibi Usa she rose and eyebrow at the blushing that deepened. " Really, how did you think you lot were born? The planetary fairy gave you to your parents." Snort.
"Be nice Dorothy."
Dorothy gave a mocking bow, "My Princess, you know as well as I do that "nice" is not a thing I do." Five voices agreed rather to quick for her taste. The black hair boy mutters under his breath. Dorothy how ever caught it.
"That is it! Chang, Wufei. I have had enough."
"What do you plan to do about it Onna?"
Both pulled out their swords, the Space sword and the Martian sword 1. Before either could make a move a blast erupted before them.
"That. Is. Enough! You embarrass your self before guest."
Standing in the doorway Dorothy had exited stood Nozomi hand reached out palm forward, hair floating around her caused by the energy she emitted.
"Now that I have your attention. I think it is time you perhaps introduced yourselves so they at least know who the idiots are."
Dorothy stuck her tongue out at the woman before straighten out her cloths, placing the sword back into thin air and turning. She gave a small bow.
"Please excuse my actions. I am Catalonia, Dorothy. It is a pleasure to have you at our home…Finally" they last word was whispered out.
The boys stepped forward,
"Quatre Raberba Winner, a pleasure."
"Heero Yuy"
"Duo Maxwell, I may run and hide but I never tell a lie."
"Chang Wufei"
"Trowa Barton"
Nozomi nodded then smiled to the girls. " I am sorry it has taken a while for you to finally come here." Both Chibi Usa and Dorothy were outraged. The boys were shocked but they new better than to let there emotions show. Nozomi smiled politely at both girls as they let off curses.
"I do not have to do everything. Young Princess you must learn to do things yourself and judge for yourself. Your mother is not going to be around forever to wipe up after you." That startled even the boys. Seeing their faces she gave a small laugh. "Come now Small Lady even you know your time on the throne is drawing near. You must learn to think on your own. You do not need to fear for your Mother she is quiet capable to take care of her self and will be there to see you when you shine." She walked back to the house and called over her shoulder. "We need to take this inside."
Once seated inside Nozomi began to pass out refreshments. Duo was making faces with a still young Hotaru when something caught her eye.
"Duo what is on your face?" The boy stiffened and stole a quick glance to Heero. Her eyes darted to Heero seeing the same thing. "Boys?" seeing that none of them were going to talk she looked to the older girls. Dorothy waved it off.
"No need to get worried, Aunty. They were driving me nuts earlier and I pinned them down and put make up on." Normally she would have believed it, if Dorothy had looked her in the eyes. She let out a big sigh.
"Heero, Duo, front and center." Both boys reluctantly stood up before her. Kneeling down to them she took a cloth and wiped there faces revealing two nice sized shiners. Very carefully she tilted each boys head up and lightly kissed the abrasion. At once it disappeared.
"I have told you numerous times not to fight. We will talk about it later." She sat down on the vacant seat left by both boys. Duo jumped into her lap before Heero could, giving his comrade a raspberry as the chocolate hair boy gave him a "death glare" and seated very close to Nozomi.
"Now that that is settled. I am sure you girls have some questions."
Rei gave Minako a sharp elbow to the ribs. "Owie, Rei…oh. Who is our enemy? What are you doing in the past?"
With a slight nod from her mother Chibi Usa took a deep breath. "The enemy is our enemy. He knows we are in the past and cant come here himself. So he sends his little monsters instead. What he wants is for us to return to the future. We can't. The boys are just coming into their power and need to train to get some control."
Setsuna narrowed here eyes. "Where are the other senshi or that matter their mothers." Chibi Usa took a big swallow from her cup.
"Away on another mission when he attacked. It would take a while for them to return. Right now the Asteroid Senshi as well as the generals are holding the palace while we are here."
Michiru tightened her hold on Haruka's arm, "What of their mothers?"
Chibi Usa cleared her throat trying to hold the bubbles of laughter fighting their way up. Dorothy's laughter turned to a cough. Quatre sunk into the couch, Wufei muttered; Trowa was silent but staring at his mother. Dou began to bounce up and down on Nozomi's lap braid smacking Heero, who was contemplating on how best to kill the baka.
Nozomi smiled. "It was already stated where their mothers were. If you are smart you will be able to guess what child goes to who."
Minako, Rei and Makoto stood up screeching. "They are ours??!!"
Ami covered her mouth. "Oh my." Michiru looked up at Haruka, who was dumb stricken.
Setsuna looked worried and Hotaru was happy.
Nozomi looked at Setsuna understanding. "Pluto in our future you spend much of your time with us and not at the gates. A reason why you may not know anything about them."
Haruka looked at her with suspicion. "Where do you fall in?"
"I am not one of your children if that is what you ask. I was raised in the Palace along side Small Lady. Clearly I was older. Once I reached an age the Elders, you, thought I was responsible they left me in charge of the children when they could not be brought along on visits or missions. In taking the responsibility I was graced with the power of each of your planets. Granting me the power to perform your most basic attacks and a few higher power ones."
"We came to this time when the children would have a better chance to control their powers in a controlled atmosphere and when there were plenty of basic Yuma to defend against."
Duo tugged on her sleeve. " Can I tell them who we are? Please Aunty."
"How about your each properly introduces yourselves. Wufei you start."
Wufei scowled at her. "Prince Chang, Wufei of Mars"
"Prince Trowa Barton, Jupiter."
"Prince Quatre Raberba Winner child of Venus."
" Me next, me next. I am Shinigami!"
"Duo!"
"But I am!"
"And?"
" Prince…of Saturn?"
"Baka"
"At least I am not a Martian, Wu-man. Shouldn't you have some dilly bobber things sticking out of your head."
"Maxwell another breathe from your body and your braid belongs to me!"
"Wu-man is a woman, wu-man is a woman!"
"Shine!"
The girl's sweat dropped as they watched the cat mouse game. Ami looked at Heero and shivered. They boy seemed so cold.
"Ano, what about Heero."
Nozomi looked at Heero and then to Chibi Usa.
"Well Small lady, do want the honors?"
Heero glared at her. "I am capable." Chibi Usa gave him a puppy dog look. "Please, Heero-kun?" he grunted in response. "Yosh1"
"Heero is…." She paused for the dramatics. "The son of my parents and my little brother. Prince Heero son of Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion." Usagi turn reader than the other four that blushed. "And Dorothy? "She squeaked out. " She is Michiru and Haruka's"
A devil grin spread on Dorothy. "No, just Haruka. She got pregnant and had me all on her own."
All hell finally broke loose.
