Mamoru entered the temple. "You need to transform! There's a youma at the community center!"
"Kami-sama!" said Candra. "Today's 'Make Your Own Candy Day'! There are a bunch of little kids there!"
"Then there's no time to lose. Venus Crystal Power Make Up!"
"Mercury Crystal Power Make Up!"
"Mars Crystal Power Make Up!"
"Jupiter Crystal Power Make Up!"
"Saturn Crystal Power Make Up!"
"Neptune Crystal Power Make Up!"
"Uranus Crystal Power Make Up!"
"Pluto Crystal Power Make Up!"
"Moon Eternal Make Up!"
"Moon Starlight Power Make Up!"
"Earth Star Power Make Up!" (Like I said in my first story, he had to say something sometime!)

"Candyheart!!!"
"Mommy!"
"Hey! You put my daughter down! That's a $300 dress she's wearing!"
Sir Grety looked on from a distance. "I can't believe my little black magic did this. It's like taking candy from a bunch of children and turning it against them!"
"Candyheart!" Candyheart sucked the energy out of the mother and her child, then dropped them. Another little girl came up and kicked the youma in the shin. "Leave them alone!" she yelled. She quickly jumped out of the way when Candyheart attacked her.
The girl quickly turned her attention to helping the two workers protect the other children as the youma inched closer. "Candyheart!"
"Hold it right there!"
"Candyheart?" Candyheart looked over to find the Sailor Senshi, arms crossed and ready for action. Sailor Moon began, "An agent of love and justice, Pretty . . ."
"Candyheart!" A sticky substance flew from Candyheart's hands and got Mars, Venus, Saturn, and Tuxedo Kamen stuck to the trunk of a tree.
"Sailor Moon! From now on, forget the speech!" yelled Venus.
"World Shaking!" Candyheart started to melt.
Sir Grety just laughed. "Just 'cause you can melt it, don't mean you can stop it!"
The little girl cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled, "Try attacking, Sailor Neptune and Mercury!"
"Good idea!" Sailor Neptune gave the girl a thumbs up. "Deep. . ."
"Mercury Agua. . ."
"SUBMEGRE!!!!!"
"RHASPADY!!!!"
Candyheart froze up. Grety had steam pouring out of his ears. "Candyheart! Get them!" he ordered, his voice filled with rage.
"Candy. . .HEART!!!!" It broke out of its ice prison and attacked Uranus, Neptune, and Mercury, sticking them to the ground.
"Dead Scream."
Candyheart dodged that attack and went for Sailor Pluto. Saturn ran in front of her. "Silent Wall!" The wall didn't go up in time, though, and both girls were stuck to the ground as well.
Mercury looked at Saturn. "Nice to see you again."
Saturn smiled. "I'd shake your hand, but mine are all sticky right now."
The little girl snuck away. Time to change into something more fitting.
Jupiter looked at Moon and StarMoon. "Things aren't looking too good for me, are they?" she asked.
The girls shook their heads.
Jupiter shrugged. "Oh, well. Jupiter Oak. . ."
"Candyheart!"
"Evolution?" Jupiter finished as found herself in the same predicament as the rest of the Senshi. "I knew it," she sighed and rolled her eyes.
Sir Grety laughed. "This is turning out to be even better than I planned!" He pointed at StarMoon and ordered, "Candyheart! Take Sailor Moon's energy, then get the Princess!" He disappeared.
It formed a sweatdrop on its head. "Candyheart?"
"Of course he's gonna leave at a crucal moment," StarMoon said to no one in partcular. She pulled her StarWand out of her brooch. "Moon Starlight Attack!"
Candyheart dodged the attack and went straight for Sailor Moon. "Candyheart!"
"Uh, oh." Both girls screamed.
"Pink Sugar Heart Attack!"
Candyheart looked up to see Sailor ChibiMoon with her Cutie Bell. The youma covered its head to protect itself from those oh-so-dangerous pink of hearts of the pink-haired soldier. ChibiMoon landed on the youma's shoulders. "Sailor Moon!"
"Hai! Starlight Honeymoon Therapy Kiss!"
ChibiMoon smiled, thankful that she had done something right. Then she realized she had better get off.
"ChibiMoon! Get off!" yelled Sailor Moon.
"I can't!" yelled ChibiMoon.
"Why not!"
"Because I'm stuck!"
"NANI?!?!?!?"
"Beautiful!" yelled Candyheart.
Sailor Moon covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief. "Kami-sama. . .ChibiMoon!"
The others, now freed, ran up behind Sailor Moon. "ChibiUsa-chan!" cried Saturn.
"Kami-sama! Where's Candra-chan?" asked Jupiter.
"I didn't even see her leave," commented Mercury.
"There she is!" Neptune pointed to a figure laying on the ground a few meters in front of them. As she got up, there was someone under her. "Are you okay?" StarMoon asked.
"You bet!" ChibiMoon sat up and hugged StarMoon. "Arigato, Auntie Cynthia!" She quickly covered her mouth. "Oops!"
StarMoon twisted her face. "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?"
"ChibiMoon!"
"Sailor Moon!" ChibiMoon ran over to Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon got down on her knees and the two hugged. "Don't scare me like that again, okay?"
"Hey! I'm a kid! There are no guarantees!"
"Well," said the lady in charge of the Make Your Own Candy Day, "let us go inside to finish the day with finger-painting!" The kids cheered with delight. "Would you like to stay and paint with them?" she asked the Senshi.
The girls and Tuxie looked at each other and shurgged. "Sure!"
As the group walked in, Sailor Moon leaned over. "So what are you doing here?" she asked ChibiMoon.
"Well, I was going to come over to your house, but then I saw the sign. . ."
"That's not what I meant!"
"Because I felt like it. Tee hee!"
StarMoon looked at Kamen. "You and Serenity are going to have to explain to me why that little girl just called me 'Auntie' because I am very confused right now."

Sir Grety placed the energy into the machine to see how much he had. "Well, the good news is I doubled my energy. Kids have so much it. The bad news is I still have not reached my goal of reviving the Dark Kingdom." He sighed as he had the machine drain half of his own energy. He had done this every day since he had awakened, and while it had helped, it left him with a pain that shot through him.
He crawled into bed. He knew that he couldn't keep doing that; he didn't know if this had any long-term side-effects. The only problem was a little bit of energy disappeared everyday. If he didn't do this, he would fall behind. The only thing to do now was rest to regain his energy for the next day.
"I guess I could stop for a few days. After all, I have been doing this for over four years. It can't all disappear in one night. Now, I must think of how to get the princess to love me once I get her. . ."

"I'm sorry." Candra took her calm, folded hands out of her lap and slammed them on the table. "She's your WHAT?!?!?!?" she yelled.
"Daughter," Usagi repeated, who was just as red faced as her boyfriend.
"You mean to tell me that I have been friends with you for three months and you failed to tell this big piece of information?!?!?" Candra screamed.
"I'm from the future. Usagi doesn't become a mommy until she's, like, twenty-two, and then she becomes a crappy one at that," answered ChibiUsa.
Usagi's face became its regular color. "I will not be!"
"Yes, you will!" There was a group sweatdrop as another of the show's infamous tongue-wars ensued.
"I have a headache now. I'm going home," said Mamoru.
"I'm staying at your place, Mamo-chan!" replied ChibiUsa with a big goofy grin on her face. She grabbed his arm.
"Stop calling him that!" yelled Usagi.
"You can't tell me what to do. You're not my mother!"
"Yes, I am!"
"Right now you aren't!"
"Yes, I am!"
"Technically, ChibiUsa is right. You aren't her mother, Serenity," said Candra. "ChibiUsa hasn't been born yet. Which means in this time period, she has no parents." ChibiUsa stuck her tongue out. "However, that doesn't mean she shouldn't at least listen to what Serenity has to say," finished Candra.
Usagi grabbed ChibiUsa's tongue and giggled, to which the little girl bit her finger.

Candra once again turned down Mako's invitation to come over for dinner and headed home. On way, she noticed a little gray kitten laying on an envelope. I wonder what this little kitty is doing out here all alone. Maybe this note will explain.
The kitten felt the movement the envelope, opened her eyes, and scratched Candra on the cheek. "OWW!!! That hurt! Dumb cat!" Candra yelled without even thinking.
The kitten's eyes got real big. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty! I thought you were trying to steal this note from the Queen! Oops! Forgot! You don't know me yet!" said the kitten.
Candra blinked a few times, then shook her head. "You scared me there for a minute when you started to talk, but I missed the crescent moon on your head. Who are you?"
"I'm Diana, Luna and Artemis's daughter, and Small Lady's guardian."
"Who's Small Lady?" asked Candra.
"Everyone here calls her 'ChibiUsa.'"
"That little squirt's with you? Tell you what. You come with me. I'll take you to Serenity's tomorrow."
"Sure, Your Majesty!" Diana hopped up on Candra's shoulder.
"You know, I'm not really has important as Serenity."
"But the Queen said to address you formally even if you didn't like it," replied Diana.
"Yea, well just for the record, I don't."
