Sweat running down her
face, Serena rushed into Ami's house. "Sorry I'm
late!"
"Since when are you early?" asked Rei.
"You'd be late to your own funeral."
"Oh, Rei.
Only you can ruin my day with just one statement."
Rei
smiled. "That's my job."
"You guys ready to go?"
asked Mina. She was not in the mood for fights.
Lita sighed
happily as she leaned back on the recliner with her hands behind
her head. "We haven't had a shopping trip in ages! I'm so
glad we have a break from fighting."
Ami looked up from
the book she was reading. "Lita, what do you mean by
break?"
"Well, I'm just saying we haven't fought
since Serena killed Wiseman. And that was four months
ago."
"Please don't remind me," said Serena. She
never wanted to use the Silver Crystal ever again.
Mina smiled.
"Well, come on girls. We have the whole day to do absolutely
nothing!" She giggled
"Yea!" everyone
cried.
Serena sighed. "Too bad Darien has to work. We
don't get to spend anytime together anymore."
"Uh,
didn't he just drop you off?" asked Rei.
"And didn't
you two have lunch together yesterday?" Lita asked.
"Well.
. . uh . . ." Serena blushed as everyone laughed.
"Oh!
Let's go there! No! Wait! There! There!" Mina jumped up and
down like a kid in a candy store.
Sweatdrops went down Serena,
Ami, Rei, and Lita's heads. "We don't know her," said
Rei.
"Can we go in here? Please?" Another voice rang
out. They turned to see four other teenage girls. The blonde was
jumping up and down, begging to go into the store Mina wanted to
go. The others were embarrassed and tried to ignore her. "We
don't know her," said one. She had hair the color of Rei's
that stopped in the middle of her back. She and Rei locked eyes
for a second, then she looked away.
"CV, calm down!"
said another one. She had brown hair in a ponytail, just like
Lita's. She grabbed "CV"'s shoulders. "We are on. .
.vacation. Don't act like an idiot."
"Looks like
they're going into the same store," Mina said. She grabbed
Lita's hand and dragged her over while the others
followed.
"Hello," said CV and the others as they
walked up.
"Hey! This is my favorite store. I see it's
yours, too," said Mina.
"This was. . . er, is my
mom's, too. I want to see why she likes it," said CV.
Mina
smiled and was about to introduce herself when they heard someone
scream.
"Er. . .Lita, let's go check that out," said
Serena.
When they left, the fourth girl, who looked like a
younger version of Ami, looked at her watch. "This would be a
good time to go home."
"Why?" asked CV.
"We
aren't allowed to be invovled in these things, stupid," said
the black haired girl. She grabbed CV's hand.
"I. . .uh.
. .have to go to the bathroom. I'll meet you guys outside,"
said the tall one.
"At a time like this?" asked Ami
Jr.
"Uh, yea." She took off like a bullet. The
remaining girls looked at each other. "Well, it was nice
meeting you," said Rei Jr.
"You, too," said
Rei.
The younger girls walked away. Ami Jr. looked at the
others. "Have you girls noticed that she's been running off a
lot?"
"Anyone know why?" asked Rei Jr. The other
two just shrugged.
"Weird group," commented Rei.
Mina
looked at the others. "Like we aren't? Let's get
going!"
Serena and Lita ran into the food court and
saw a big youma.
"'I'm just saying we haven't fought since
Serena killed Wiseman.'" Serena mocked.
"Oh, shut
up!" said Lita.
They ran into the restroom. "Moon
Crystal Power Make Up!"
"Jupiter Star Power Make
Up!"
"Your energy is mine!" cried the youma.
(Well, what did you think he was going to say? 'Hi, I'm Greg. I
love sports, including. . .')
"Stop right there! I am
Sailor Moon and with my friend Sailor Jupiter, I will punish
you!."
"Jupiter Thunder Dragon!"
The youma
dodged and sent the attack back at Sailor Moon. She screamed and
tripped over her own two feet trying to get out of the way. Sailor
Mercury pushed her out of the way.
"Thanks, Sailor
Mercury!"
"Venus Meteor Shower!"
"Are
you alright, Sailor Moon? Mercury?" asked Mars.
"You
won't be when I'm done," said the youma.
"Mars
Firebird Blast! . . .Hey! Stand still!"
"I'll stop
it. Venus Love Chain Encircle!"
The youma put her hands
together and yelled out something. The Chain changed course and
tied up all the Senshi except Sailor Jupiter, who managed to get
out of the way. "Jupiter Thu. . ."
"Thunder
Beam!" cried out another voice. A bolt of lighting hit the
youma in the back, causing her to fall to her knees.
"Hey!
Jerk! Leave them alone! Or you will get serious
butt-kicking!"
"Hey!" Sailor Jupiter snapped her
head in the direction the voice came from. "Who said that?"
A
tall, female figure stepped out of the shadows. "I
did!"
Jupiter gasped. The figure was another girl in a
Sailor Senshi outfit that looked almost like hers except the bows
were yellow. In fact, if they weren't, you wouldn't able to tell
the two apart.
"Who are you?" asked Sailor Moon.
The
new girl did that little thing Sailor Moon does when she
introduces herself. "I am Sailor ChibiJupiter, the Jr.
Champion of Justice. And on behalf of the Future Jupiter, I shall
punish all that is evil."
"WHAT?!?!?!?!?" cried
all the Senshi.
"CHIBIJupiter?" cried Sailor Jupiter.
She made this really funny face, then blushed when she saw the
others staring at her.
"Uh, Lita? Forget to tell us
something?" asked Mars.
"Oh, come on girls! She's our
age!" said Jupiter as she continued to blush.
"Think
you're tough, huh? Well, I'll teach you!" The youma fired at
the new Senshi.
After jumping out of the way, ChibiJupiter
started her attack. She put her hands as far away from her body as
possible, then took them apart to reveal a bolt of lighting.
"Jupiter Lighting Strike!"
It hit the youma and the
Love Chain surrounding the Senshi disappeared.
"Quick! Get
it, Sailor Moon!" yelled Sailor ChibiJupiter.
"Mercury
Bubbles Freeze!"
"Mars Fire Blast!"
"It's
weak enough," said Mercury. "Finish him Sailor
Moon!"
"Hai! Moon Princess Elimantion!"
"The
End!" screamed the youma as it shattered into little pieces.
The girls hi-fived each other on a job well done.
Sailor
Jupiter was distracted, though. She looked around. "Hey! Did
any of you see were that girl went?"
Sailor Moon smiled.
"At least she's on our side!"
"How do you know
if she is or not? That could have been a trap!" asked Sailor
Mars.
"And to use my name! Of all the nerve!" pointed
out Jupiter.
"Why would the enemy kill one of their own?"
asked Sailor Moon. "And why do they only attack here? In
Japan? Why not somewhere else?"
Mars shrugged. "They
work in mysterious, stupid ways."
Sailor Venus saw
something dash through the exit. "Minna," she said, "I
think we have other problems to be worring about."
Sailor
Jupiter thought about Sailor ChibiJupiter. "Could she be. .
.?"
A dark figure looked over Earth. "The Sailor
Senshi? I thought they lost their memories."
"They
did," replied another. "They got them back, remember?
That Sailor ChibiJupiter girl, though. I don't remember her from
the Silver Millennium and I didn't see her in the future. There is
something about her, though. We may have to destroy her."
"Why?"
asked the first. "Her power is not as great as the other
Senshi."
"Her power is not as strong as the others,
but it will grow. Besides, she could be the key to our
distruction."
