Chapter 6

Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars were already at the scene. Rubeus was standing in the sky near his spaceship, staring down at them.
"Well, well, where's the Rabbit?"

Sailor Moon and Mars stayed silent, and glared up at Rubeus.
Rubeus's gaze drifted to behind the two Scouts where he spotted five other figures running towards the scene. His mouth opened as he recognized the two newcomers. Younger Jupiter and Younger Venus! They were in the past, also!

"We have to try the Sailor Planet attack!" Mars shouted. "Where are the others?"
"They shold be here so... there they are!" Sailor Moon cried. Mars looked to where Sailor Moon was pointing. Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter were just a few feet away. Then Mars frowned. Who were the other two? The three Scouts had now reached them.
"Let's do it!" Venus said, knowing what the other two planned on doing because of their formation. The other two nodded. The five girls held hands and said one after the other,
"Mercury Star Power!"
"Mars Star Power!"
"Jupiter Star Power!"
"Venus Star Power!"
"Moon Crystal Power!"
Their lghts surrounded them. Suddenly, they were pulled apart. The Scouts screamed. Tuxedo Mask had just arrived
on the sight and held Sailor Moon.
"No!" Sailor Moon cried as the other four Scouts (Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus) were lifted up into the ship.

"No!" Reenie watched from a distance.

Suddenly, Serena was aware of two other people. She looked to the rooftops and spotted two other Scouts. "Who are they?" Sailor Moon asked Tuxedo Mask, and was surprised when they jumped down from the roofs. Sailor
Moon recognized the one in green as the one who had saved them last time. Younger Sailor Jupiter spoke first.
"My Queen, I am hoping that you will allow me to help you defeat Rubeus."

Sailor Moon was definately surprised when she was called My Queen.

Damn! YSJ thought. Have to remember she doesn't know yet.
"I hope so, too," YSV said.
"First off all," Sailor Moon said. "It's Sailor Moon. Second, who are you two?"

YSJ was the one that answered. "I am Younger Sailor Jupiter. Beside me, is YSV or Younger Sailor Venus." Sailor Moon recognized the second new Scout as Mina's look alike cousin. She frowned, as she recognized the resemblance.

YSJ looked at YSV when she saw the frown.

She knows! YSV said to YSJ with her eyes. There was something that was close to desperation in showing in YSV's eyes.

Well, duh! YSJ tried to say to YSV with her eyes.
"What!" Sailor Moon yelled. "Can you two thought-speak, too?"

YSV smiled at Sailor Moon's burst of anger. "Kind of," she responded, looking at Sailor Moon. "We've known each other long enough to know what each other's thinking, if we look at each other's eyes. It's kind of easy. All you have to do is read the expression in the other person's eyes."
"YSV!" YSJ yelled at her fellow Sailor.

YSV looked at YSJ, a look of pure innocence on her face.

She knows already, YSJ said with her eyes, There's no harm in telling her the truth.

There is harm, YSV said to YSJ, Pluto will kill us! She won't like us disrupting the timeline.

YSJ rolled her eyes at her friend. Puh-lease! she said with her eyes, I've already disrupted the timeline and nothing has happened to me!
You already told your mother! YSV yelled angrily with her eyes. How could you? Pluto will have your head when we get back to the future!
YSJ shook her head in response. Pluto's the Guardian of Time, she said, She has the power to come back and get my
ass back to the future if I screwed up. So obviously I haven't. I think that we're supposed to tell them.
You think? YSV asked with her eyes.

YSJ nodded.
"Can you two please stop doing that!" Sailor Moon yelled frustrated. She was getting aggravated by their thought-
speak or eye-speak or whatever they called it. She had no clue what they were discussing and it was pissing the hell out of her.
Truth time? YSV asked YSJ.

YSJ nodded in response. It was time to stop hiding and to tell them the truth. Even if it was only one of them there at the moment.
"Sailor Moon," YSJ began, "I'm guessing that you've figured us out."

Sailor Moon looked at YSJ, a look of confusion crossing her face. She had them figured out? YSJ smiled at the confused look on Sailor Moon's face. "You and your friends suspected us today at Raye's didn't you?" YSJ asked. She smiled as a look of understanding suddenly dawned on Sailor Moon's face.
"You're Claudia?" Sailor Moon asked YSJ.

YSJ smiled and nodded. "And that would mean that you're Mina's look alike cousin, right?"

YSV looked to YSJ and they smiled at each other, then they turned to Sailor Moon. "Um, technically we're not your cousins," YSV said.

Sailor Moon looked at her. If they weren't cousins, then what were they?
"Yeah," YSJ said, "You see, it's kind of a long story."
"What's a long story?" Tuxedo Mask asked still holding onto Sailor Moon. "Who are you two and what are you guys talking about 'look alike cousins'?"

Sailor Moon looked to the ground. She had forgotten that Tuxedo Mask didn't know about their look alike cousins. The Scouts hadn't bothered to call Darien to the meeting.
"Let's just get Small Lady to a safe place before we discuss this any further," YSJ said, motioning to Reenie.

Small Lady? Sailor Moon wondered. Why were they calling Reenie that?

Tuxedo Mask nodded in agreement. Although he didn't understand why the two girls were calling Reenie Small Lady, he did agree that they did need to get her to safety.

YSJ ran to where Reenie was standing, and picked her up. "Claudia," Reenie whispered to the Scout, fear in her voice.
"Small Lady, everything is okay," YSJ whispered to the young child, trying to erase the girl's fear.
"But the others...?"
"Will be okay," YSJ interrupted the child. Poor child has seen so much evil, YSJ thought to herself. She pitied the Small Lady for being so young and having witnessed so much.
"Where can we go that is safe?" YSV asked Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon while YSJ tried to comfort Reenie.
Sailor Moon turned her head so that she was looking up at Tuxedo Mask. He nodded, and Sailor Moon turned back to face YSV.

"Follow us," she told them. With that, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask turned in the direction they had come and began
running.

YSV motioned to YSJ to follow them, and ran after Sailor Moon. With Small Lady in her arms, YSJ ran after YSV.

Melanie woke up from her nap and looked around the room. She was lucky that Dr. Anderson was away at a medical
convention in America. At least that was what Amy had told her when she had asked where Amy's mother was. Where is
Amy, anyways? Melanie wondered, getting up from Dr. Anderson's bed. Amy's room was right across the hall and without even looking in it, Melanie could tell that no one was in it.

"Amy?" Melanie called as she got up from the bed. "Amy? Where are yo" Melanie stopped talking as soon as she
saw that the ring on her finger was glowing blue.

Trouble! Melanie thought immediately. Then another thought entered her head: It had to be one of the other Younger Sailors contacting her. They were the only ones who could contact each other through the rings. Melanie nearly jumped when she heard the phone ring. She thought about answering it or not, then decided that she should. It could be one of the other younger Sailor Scouts trying to contact her. She picked up the phone, wondering why her ring was glowing. They weren't supposed to interfere in the timeline and helping when trhere was trouble would definitely be getting involved in the timeline, even if it was their jobs as Scouts. "Hello?" Melanie said, picking up the phone.
"Melanie?" a familiar voice asked.
"Kirsten?" Melanie asked.
"Is Amy there?" Kirsten asked.
"No," Melanie answered truthfully. She couldn't see Amy anywhere and was pretty sure that her mother wasn't the type to play around like that. "Why? Isn't Raye home?"
"No," Kirsten replied. "Is your ring glowing?" Melanie nodded, then remembered that she was talking to Kirsten over the phone.
"Yeah," she replied. "Yours, too?"
"Yep."
"It must be Claud or Shantal," Melanie said.
"You think they're in trouble?"
"Who knows, Kirsten? Didn't Claud say that she was going to tell Lita what she was?"
"Yeah. Do you think that the others are at Lita's, waiting for us?"
"Why would they do that? Why wouldn't they confront us in their own homes?"
"I don't know, Melanie."
"Do you think that something may actually be up?"
"Maybe."
"How did you know Amy's phone number?"
"It was on Raye's speed dial. Along with everyone else's and some guy named Darien. Why?"
"I was just thinking," Melanie began.
"And we know how often you do that," Kirsten said before Melanie could get another word out.
"Oh, be quite!" Melanie told her friend. "Anyways, I was just thinking that maybe we should contact Shantal and
Claudia to see what's up. Maybe Lita and Mina are still home."
"And if they're not?" Kirsten asked. Melanie shrugged.
"Then we have to talk with Shantal and Claudia and decide together whether or not to go to Small Lady," she said.
"Do you know Lita's number?" Kirsten asked.
"I can probably find it around here," Melanie said. "Amy's so neat and tidy. If her system here's anything like the one she has in the future than I can find it no problem."
"Want me to shorten your search and just give you the number?"
"Yes!"
"759-6248," Kirsten said.
"Thanks."
"I'll phone you as soon as I'm done phoning Mina's."
"Bye, Kirsten."
"Bye, Melanie." With that, both girls hung up. Melanie waited for a minute or so, then picked up the phone and dialed the number that Kirsten had given her.
