Rei, Mina, Mako, and Ami are all surrounding Lucine. They all take one step in. Lucine cringes and then puts her paws over her head.
"The first time it was OK!" Mina says.
The second time was a bit irritating!" Mako says.
"The third time was annoying!" Rei continues.
"But by the 8th time, it was enough!" Ami finishes.
"We all want henshin materials of our own so when Kousagi transforms for the delight of it we won't automatically appear in sailor soldier uniform in front of her," Rei says.
"She just wants friends, "Lucine says.
"Give us henshin pens!" Ami demands
"I checked the Sailor V game, there are no Henshin pens rigged to the game. Give them to us."
Kousagi runs in and picks up Lucine on the way in a mad dash.
Mina, Mako, Rei, and Ami all blink.
"Lucine-chan, I want you to meet Artemis-chan, Diana-chan, and Luna-chan!" Kousagi says enthousiastically.
"Then why are you running?" Lucine asks.
"Makoto-sama promised to make me a bunch of pasteries from around the world!"
Lucine sighs.
Behind Kousagi Rei, Mina, Mako and Ami all scream, "Where are our henshin pens!!"
Artemis circles Lucine and then says, "You talk?"
Lucine gives a blank look and says nothing.
Luna smiles and says, "She does Artemis! Look at the crescent moonspot."
Diana who is siting in front of Lucine says, "Then why isn't she talking to us then?"
Artemis replies, "She certainly isn't our child. She's pink!"
Lucine blinks as Kousagi watches intently eating some eclairs and sweet dim sum
"I would guess that she can turn human too." Luna says.
"If she did she would still have her tail and whiskers, and maybe even her ears since she is younger than me."
"Lucine, can you talk?" Luna says circling her and flicking her tail.
Lucine doesn't reply and just meows.
"She won't talk to anyone but meee!" Kousagi yells and then takes a long sniff and says pouting, "It's not fair." She stuffs a whole pastery into her mouth.
"Maybe she doesn't understand Japanese," Luna says ignoring Kousagi.
Artemis stops pacing and stares at Lucine, and then finally sits.
"She's a strange colored cat," he comments.
Diana adds, "I think she's from Mau."
Luna raises a paw and says, "Her crescent wasn't damaged. She must have a good reason for not talking. But it's lunch time now, Let's go!"
Diana licks her lips and follows.
Artemis gives a concerned look as he looks at Lucine, but then runs to catch up to Luna and Diana.
Lucine runs off leaving Kousagi searching for her. Kousagi stuffs in half a sandwich in her mouth and searches. She sees Lucine run off and chases her.
Kousagi is in front of a candy shop. Water taffy, fudge, and bags of candy are in the window. She licks her lips and presses her face and hands to the glass.
"It will be OK if I just look for a while.. Lucine will show up again."
Kousagi digs into her pockets, but finds only a few pieces of lint.
The shop owner comes out and says, "Hey kid! You little brat! Don't press your face to the window! Can't you read?"
Kousagi looks at the sign that the shop owner is pointing to. In kanji it reads, "Don't put your hands or face on the glass." Kousagi scratches her head.
"I don't get it, what does it say?"
The shop owner sighs, and says, "Don't press your face or hands to the glass! I just cleaned this window!"
"But the candy looks so good!"
"Buy something or leave, OK?"
Kousagi says "I don't have any money!"
She pulls out all of 20 pockets. The shop owner sweatdrops as pieces of food fall out.
"Then go, OK? I can't give you free stuff, I have a shop to run and I barely can pay the rent!"
"But my mama is Tsukino Usagi! You can charge it to her!" Kousagi says sweetly.
Kousagi looks at the shop owner hopefully. She thinks, "It workes for Onee-chan! It must be able to work for me too!"
"Ohhh... how cute!" the shop owner says, but quickly folds his arms back and says, "No."
Kousagi wails and starts to cry. Everyone looks at the shop owner. The windows start to shake.
Kepudo Kage appears on the roof. He smiles and says, "It's now your turn Lettuce Taisho! Make the Black Rabbit proud! Attack this candy shop!"
The shop owner looks worried about his window and is trying to calm Kousagi down.
Lettuce Taisho appears next to Kousagi. The shop owner turns to see a big head of lettuce stare at him. He faints.
Kousagi continues to cry not noticing Lettuce Taisho. Lettuce Taisho says, "You don't eat your vegtables do you?"
Kousagi says, "I want my candy!!"
She opens her eyes and looks at Lettuce Taisho and screams, "Kawaii!"
Lettuce Taisho cringes in pain.
Lettuce Taisho puts her hand on the door. Kousagi gets up from the ground and says, "I can't let you attack that shop! I still need to get my free candy!"
Kepudo Kage lands next to Lettuce Taisho and asks her, "You look a lot like Parallel Sailormoon. I think you are her!"
"How did you know?" Kousagi asks.
"Ha! I was right! I thought I saw you transform.. I have been watching you recently."
"Eeeeeeeecccccccccccccccchhhhhhhhiiiiiiii!"
Kepudo Kage lowers his cape so that she can see his face. He says to Lettuce Taisho, "Attack her!"
Kousagi says throwing up her rabbit broach, "Since you know who I am.. Parallel Moon Power! Make up!"
She looks around for the other sailors but they don't appear. When she finally realizes that they aren't there she wails and then looks for Lucine ducking an attack from Lettuce Taisho. Lettuce Taisho throws a giant fork, salad dressing, and other things at her, but misses as Parallel Sailormoon looks for Lucine.
"Lucine! Lucine! I thought you were supposed to be my guardian cat!" Parallel Sailormon says and then whines, "Idon'twannafightalone!"
Lucine appears from behind Kepudo Kage and jumps straight for his head.
Parallel Sailormoon dives for Lucine, but trips into Kepudo Kage.
Lucine ends up on her face in the street and scrambles to the sidewalk again.
Kepudo Kage catches Parallel Sailormoon. She hears his heart and thinks, "His heart is so steady," she looks up at his face, but only sees his chin. She thinks, "Why are you my enemy with a heart so steadfast? Your heart sounds so honest."
Lucine interrupts Parallel Sailormoon's thoughts by jumping at Kepudo Kage's back. Kepudo Kage, not turning his head knocks down Lucine with one arm.
Parallel Sailormoon gets mad and steps on his foot grinding it into the ground. She pushes him away and dives to catch Lucine. Parallel Sailormoon dives too far and ends up on her belly with Lucine on her back.
Lucine jumps off and throws Parallel Sailormoon a pen with a moon and a rabbit on it.
"Twist the clicking part of the pen once and you should be able to contact the others! I'll try too delay Lettuce Taisho and Kepudo Kage from attacking the shop. Hurry!"
"Lucine, I want to know something. Why aren't they here now?"
"Because I gave them henshin pens They said that you were transforming for the fun of seeing them appear in front of you."
"Oh yeah," Parallel Sailormoon says thoughtfully.
Lucine sighs and then runs off to delay the enemy from attacking the shop.
Parallel Sailormoon follows the instructions and then talks into the screen that appears. She says, "Everyone, I need your help now!"
Rei sighs and then answers, "What do you say?"
Parallel Sailormoon says, "No time to argue! I'm near a candy shop."
Lucine hisses at both Lettuce Taisho md Kepudo Kage.
Parallel Sailormoon turns and says," Shush! I'm talking! Can't you wait before attacking me?!"
Kepudo Kage says, "Get her before her friends--"
"Mirror Mist!" Parallel Sailormercury shouts.
Parallel Sailormercury says, "She's not our friend! We're only aquaintances due to the fact that our parents are friends."
Parallel Sailormars agrees and says, "She's only someone we know! She's annoying"
Parallel Sailorjupiter adds, "and a flake."
Parallel Sailorvenus adds, "but we still can't forgive you for attacking her!"
Parallel Sailor Moon wails,"No one likes me except Luciiiiiine. You like me, right Lucine? Right?"
Lucine sweatdrops and says, "uhh..."
Parallel Sailormoon wails louder. All the windows and mirrors break. Everyone covers their ears. Lettuce Taisho explodes. Parallel Sailormoon opens her eyes and sees a mass of angry people.
Her communicator beeps.
"Hi, this is Rei, I would like to say odango-brains that you shouldn't call us unless you need us. Oh, we also told everyone who broke the windows! Good Luck!"
A miniature picture of Rei appears on the screen.
Parallel Sailormoon runs in fright, and screams.
Everyone around her winces and several people's glasses shatter.
Kepudo Kage watches her. He smiles and lets go of his cape, letting it blow in the wind. His pants are showing and part of a boy's school uniform.
"Someday," he says, "You will understand, Tsukino Kousagi-san, you will understand."
