Chapter Ten

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Baby CG cried as she landed on her bottom.
"Oh, Gwendolyn," said Sailor Mercury. "You can do it!"
"Come on, CG! You can do it!" CJ, CV, Sailor Jupiter, Venus, and Small Lady cheered CG on.
CG stuck her tongue out in a very cute way, then got up again. She started to stumble.
"Come on!" Sailor Mercury kneeled down. "Walk to Mommy."
She teetered back, then stepped toward her mommy.
"That's it!" said Mercury.
"Come on!" said Small Lady.
CG took another step, then another, then another. She took ten steps, then lunged into Mercury's arms.
Everyone clapped. CG giggled and hugged her mother tightly.

Sailor ChibiJupiter looked at the scene. Sailor Moon was crying into Sailor Jupiter's shoulder. Neo-Moon was holding her hand and crying, too. The Venuses were hugging each other, as were the Marses. She sat down next to Sailor ChibiMercury. "How are you doing?"
"I find out she's my mom . . . and now . . . I am going to lose her." Tears ran down her face.
ChibiJupiter put her arm around her. "I'm sorry," she sniffled.
ChibiMercury looked at her. "Why?"
"Because I could have saved her."
ChibiMercury smiled. "She wanted to protect you."
"So," asked Venus, trying to cheer everyone up, "why are you called 'CG'?"
"Huh? Oh, my real name is Gwendolyn. It means 'Intellectual with understanding'."
"But what CG really stands for is 'Chibi Genius' because she is very smart," said ChibiVenus.
"Just like Ami," said Sailor Moon sadly.
After a couple of seconds, Jupiter said, "You know, we're going to have to tell her mom."
"I could use my Luna Ball on her," said Neo-Moon.
"But what about Ami's stuff?" said Mars.
"We would have to break into her house and steal it," said ChibiMars.
"We have to tell her," said ChibiJupiter.
There was silence, then a cheery voice rang out. "Hello. How is she?"
Sailor Moon looked up with tears in her eyes, then buried her head into Jupiter's shoulder.
"Dr. Anderson? May I tell you something?" asked Sailor Venus.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, Dr. Anderson, but it's about Sailor Mercury. She's . . . " Venus looked at the group, then back at Dr. Anderson. ". . .your daughter."
"What?" Dr. Anderson couldn't believe this, but at that very moment, Mercury's fuku broke into light blue ribbons and disappeared. (AN: She was in her school uniform.) Mars and ChibiMars ran over to Dr. Anderson and caught her as she fell. ChibiJupiter got out of her seat for Dr. Anderson to sit down. "I always wondered why she would leave dinner early to study or be going over to Rei's temple so many times when these monsters would befall the earth. They were cover-ups."
"Well, actually, we would have meetings at my . . . uh . . . Rei's temple."
Luckily, Ami's mom didn't hear that, but Jupiter shot her a nasty look anyway.
"You know, this never happened until she met Serena. Do you know a Tsukino Serena?"
Out of habit, Sailor Moon asked. "What?"
The other girls sighed. "Guess the 'Let's-not-tell-OUR-identities' plan failed," said Venus.
"You mean, you're Serena?" gasped Dr. Anderson. "I never thought . . . you of all people . . . I mean . . . "
Sailor Moon smiled. "That's okay. I still can't believe it."
Dr. Anderson just smiled and looked back at her daughter.
Venus looked at the group and nodded her head toward the door. They left the room and entered the one next to it. There was a nurse putting new sheets on the beds.
"Sailor Senshi! Hello!"
"Hello," said Venus. "May we use this room for a while?"
"Sure. The young lady who was using it went home yesterday," answered the nurse.
"Thank you," said Sailor Venus.
When the nurse left the room, the Senshi quickly decided that Venus, Moon, Neo-Moon, and ChibiJupiter would get the chairs. Jupiter kneeled next to ChibiJupiter's chair and Mars, ChibiMars, and ChibiVenus sat on the bed.
"Now, ChibiJupiter, do you know anything about our enemy?" asked Venus.
ChibiJupiter nodded. "She's Queen Beryl's sister."
"WHAT?!?!?!?"
"You mean we're still dealing with the Dark Kingdom?" wined Moon.
ChibiJupiter tilted her head to the side. "Not exactly. . . ."

A yellow-haired man bowed in front of Queen Maddy. "Booketta failed."
"I noticed that, you nitwit! I'm neither blind nor dumb, Foulte! But she did get the Mercury brat. And that ChibiMercury girl seemed pretty upset. I don't think we'll have to worry about them." Maddy walked . . .
"That's Queen Maddy!"
Well, excuse me. Queen Maddy walked over to the window of her castle. "That's better. Anyway, ever since that Royal Moon twit killed my sister and survived herself, I have vowed to destroy her. I still cannot believe my sister was her mother's best friend." dum dum duuum
Queen Maddy looked at the only framed picture of her sister. (AN: The glass creaked the second the picture was put into the frame. giggles) "Don't worry, Beryl. I'll get Princess Serenity back. Don't you worry. . ."
