Star caught up to Arianna at lunch and demanded what was going on.
"You are not who you are, and I'm still angry at you for leaving me with your stupid so called brother." Arianna growled.
"So you know I'm Dean's Guardian?" Star asked, now feeling relived that she didn't have to hide her secret anymore.
"Yes, and hope you know we found the rest of the warriors." Ari informed the cat/girl.
"Dean sort of mentioned that, but I couldn't get much out of him." Star said.
"Well he disowned himself from the duties of the Sailor Scouts." Arianna said.
Star looked very confused, then a look of worry crossed her face.
"Arianna." called a voice.
Ari and Star turned to face Reeny.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
"Oh hey Star." she smiled at the girl. "I came to visit my friend Melanie, and to tell you about the meeting at 7:00 at the temple."
Star took on the confused look once again.
"Mel? Neat, I wouldn't have known she was your friend, she's in the other class." Ari said and added: "I'll pass on the time to Cera."
Reeny nodded.
"Do I know you?" Star asked cocking her head to one side looking at a pink haired replica of Serena.
"Uh I guess not at this time." Reeny laughed.
Star scratched her head.
"Alright I'm going to go." Reeny waved to everyone.
"Who was that?" Star asked.
"A future friend who's looking after some cousins." Ari sat down with her lunch.
"Alright, but how come you dislike Dean so much?" Star said, trying to find a way to make the two like each other.
"He's cocky, arrogant, a back stabber, a confused being, and he hates me. Giving me reason to dislike him." Ari said listing qualities off her fingers.
"He's not cocky, a back-stabber, and he doesn't hate you." Star said back. "He's only confused because his life wasn't the greatest and he ran away from home and had no guidance until he found me."
Ari was out of words for a bit, "He wasn't in a life or death crisis at a young age was he?"
"He was on the streets for two years, I don't know you decide." Star said a white lie to make Ari's heart sore for Dean.
Ari growled lightly before leaving her food and went to find Cera.
Melanie showed Reeny where Arianna's locker was.
"Why do you want to set up Arianna with that new guy at the Crown?" Melanie asked Reeny as she watched the girl slip a note into Ari's locker.
"I just want to play match maker." Reeny laughed.
"Okay.." Mel said, "but they really don't seem to be each other's type."
"They are, well see ya later." Reeny said and ran out the door leaving Mel standing alone in the hallway.
Dean watched a girl with pink pointed odangos teaching two little kids how to play Sailor V. Some how those three look familiar to some people. The pink haired girl looked like Serena and the twins kind of looked like a younger version of Arianna. Oh well, the three have to be related somehow.
"Got stuck looking after your siblings?" Dean asked once he was behind the girl.
"Cousins." Reeny said.
"Da--" Reeny's hands covered the twins' mouths.
He looked down at the bright eyed twins.
"Cool... would you like some drinks?"
"Can we have milkshakes?" the twins asked Reeny.
"Fine." Reeny said, and ordered three milkshakes.
Serena walked in for her shift and walked up to Reeny and cousins.
"How are the munchkins?" Serena asked getting down to the twins level.
"Good, Aunt Serena." Sara said and started to laugh at her brother's chocolate moustache.
"Sahara, what did I say about calling everyone--" Reeny said but Sara interrupted her.
"Where did your moon go?" Sara asked curiously, pointing to her own forehead.
Serena sweat dropped.
"No talking about the moon or how anyone is related to you." Reeny said clamping her hand on the child's mouth. "Anyway Serena, could you give this note to Dean? Just don't tell him who it is from?"
"Okay..." Serena took the note from Reeny's free hand.
Arianna was looking through her closet in a panic. She was told in a note with a ticket attached, that the girls were going to a symphony.
"Michelle... anyone! I need help in wardrobe." Ari called from her room.
Hotaru came in and looked at the mess in her friend's room.
"Why do you need help?" she asked, picking up a green shirt.
"We're going to a symphony, and I thought looking nice was mandatory."
"True, but you don't have to go all out and wear a gown. How about this yellow shirt and the black skirt on your bed?" Hotaru said holding up a yellow peasant shirt.
"Alright, I'll try them on." Ari said.
"Who's 'we' anyway?" Hotaru asked through the door.
"I'm expecting the Serena and the others and maybe Reeny." Ari said before coming out to show her outfit.
"Okay." Hotaru said and looked at Ari. "I like it, it looks nice on you."
"I wonder who is going to look after the future twins while we're out." Ari said looking down at the skirt.
"I hope no one pawns them on us, no offense to them, but they are hand-fulls the way I see Reeny handling them."
"Who do you think they belong to?" Ari asked slyly.
"Whoever has yellow and red hair in their family." Hotaru said, "Which could be: Mina, Haruka, Aleisha and Adam, Dean, or yourself."
"I hope it's not Mina."
Dean sat in a seat at the symphony wondering where Serena was, she did invite him. Or was she a messenger and he was being set up on a blind date. This was so tacky. Serena had that Darien person...
The seats around him started to fill up and he looked around to see Arianna coming down an isle with an usher. He spotted the unmistakable hair of Serena's "cousin", the one with pink hair done up in what looks like Bunny ears. He sighed and settled down in his seat until Ari sat beside him.
"Hi." he said almost glumly since no other seats around him were free.
"Hi, have you seen Serena, Darien, or Reeny around?" Arianna asked, feeling dupped again.
"I think I saw Reeny over--" Dean looked around and couldn't see that pink haired girl anywhere. 'Creepy.' "I don't know anymore."
"Do you feel slight daja vu again?" Arianna said irritably.
"Oh like the time at the restaurant? Yes." Dean said, looking disgruntled.
"Well at least you didn't have to pay for anything." Ari laughed lightly.
"Yeah, who ever thought about this was kind enough." Dean said with no humor.
"Does this music remind you of fighting daemons." Ari asked listening to the battle sounding music.
"Yeah." Dean said wistfully.
"Are you going to rejoin the sailors," Ari said calmly, "or are you going to try being normal?"
"I don't know yet." Dean sighed. "Star is giving me the silent treatment, and well what is there to go back to if I stay a sailor scout?"
"The gratitude of the world being a safer place. Also a future with true-forever friends." she looked at Dean with sincerity. "Anyway, what is there for you if you don't stay a sailor scout?" Ari asked remembering what Star had said.
"My family and friends in America." Dean said looking back at Ari. "I only came here for school and Star-dust insisted that this was a good place to be found by the Sun child. Which is you."
"So you still have family?" Ari asked tuning out the beautiful music.
"Of course. Don't you?"
Ari looked fairly angry about what Star had said but calmed down enough to answer, "They were in England before I was taken, and I haven't checked on them since. So I don't know."
"What!" Dean took her chin to make her look at him. "You don't know if you have a family anymore?"
"The Sailor Scouts and Sora are my family now." Ari said averting her eyes from his.
Dean was speechless, he turned in his seat and didn't speak for the rest of the show. Giving both of them time to think.
"When is Reeny coming home?" Tony asked Raye, watching her make them a snack.
"Around eight." Raye said.
"When's that?" Sahara asked looking at a clock.
"One hour."
"Is an hour long?" Sahara asked.
"Sometimes." Raye said slowly getting annoyed by the questions.
"Once our mommy and daddy had to wait an hour for an appointment in Crystal Tokyo and they had to stay there until earth was half way through it's axis spin." Sara said.
"How is half an earth cycle one hour?" Raye asked.
"We have a miniature solar system in our dinning room and all the planets are in the same place as the ones around the sun. They spin the same too, so we just count how many times they spin and that's how many hours they have." Tony explained happily.
"Oh! One spin on the axis is a day not an hour." Raye said, now partly understanding why they thought an hour was long.
"Hermione was wrong!" Tony gasped.
Sahara stomped her foot, "I knew she was wrong, she thinks she knows everything."
Raye looked at the kids nervously, "What did Reeny talk to you guys about before she left?"
"Don't talk about the future?" the Twins said together like it was memorized. "Sorry."
"It's okay." Raye sighed and patted Sara on the head. "Now let's get ready for bed."
"Do you want a ride home?" Dean asked Ari as she walked into the parking lot.
"Haruka is suppose to pick me up." Ari said.
"I'll let him, if he drops you off right away." Haruka smiled from behind Ari.
"Okay." Dean said giving his arm to Ari.
"Great. I have some late night errands to run anyway." Haruka said jumping into her sports car, Reeny climbing in stealthily behind her.
"Alright, see you soon." Ari waved Ruka off.
"Coming my lady?" Dean asked, his arm still being held out.
Ari stared back and held her tongue from telling him off, "Of course, fine sir." Arianna took his offered arm and kicked herself mentally for keeping with the bet and using her princess lessons.
"You know," Ari said as they drove in the dusk, "Stary told me you ran away from your family forever. That's the only reason I was rude after you asked me about if I had family."
"Stary exaggerates," Dean sighed. "I don't know why, but she does. It's like it's her teenage rebellion."
"Yeah, she's like my most immature friend." Arianna laughed.
"She can be mature sometimes, like giving me lessons on fighting and daemons. She likes telling stories about when we were part of the Silver Mellinium."
"Sora is still kind of keeping that under wraps. She never tells me about my mother, about you four, any of the other sailor soldiers. She only hints about what is to come. I am also very sure that she is still scared of what her and evil Sailor Galaxia did." Ari sighed and looked at the neon signs they were passing.
"Well the past doesn't matter anymore, you are creating a future and that's what matters." Dean said suddenly.
"When did you belive in that? Coming from the person who gets scared when I unleash my fire power." Arianna inquired looking at him critically.
"Always, I just never always liked you." Dean chuckled.
"Oh well then--" Ari said as they pulled onto the curb in front of the apartment. Dean bent down and kissed Arianna on the cheek, making her stop her sarcastic comment.
"Tell Reeny this was a good plan." he smiled and opened Ari's door for her.
Ari blushed bright red before getting out of the car and squeaked an "Okay" and "bye". Once she was inside the apartment she found the closest seat and slid into it.
"How was everything?" Michelle asked looking at the slightly upside down girl.
"Wonderful." Ari breathed out.
"Even though you spent the evening with Dean?" Hotaru asked sitting near the princess of light.
"Fortunately yes." Arianna smiled.
"I know this is dangerous, but we will all have to split up for this job." Alex said.
"We must disobey the sovereign if we are to fulfill his wishes." Alexis said.
"We now have both the Light's star seeds in the same time." Alex said.
"So it will be easier to find at least one." Alexis said.
"Stop! Your conversations are getting annoying." yelled Victor.
"What?" they said in unison like they had no clue what was going on.
"Just ignore that they are two people." Lindsay whispered.
"I just remembered something." Vanessa purred to the group. "Arianna has a dance performance next week. That time would be a great time to attack her, she'll pour all her energy and concentration into what she is doing. She will not think of anything else if we keep hidden until that night."
"A perfect example of how we're going to disobey the Sovereign." Alex said.
"Oh, I recommend that someone none of the sailor scouts have seen before attack this Arianna." Ty said, laughing inwardly at his recent vision of Vanessa and Victor being slaughtered by the Sailor Scouts at the dance thing.
"I'll go!" Lindsay said.
"Me too." Alex and Alexis said.
"Why do you recommend this?" Darius asked Ty.
"My vision had some unfortunate event happen, I didn't want it to come true." Ty said.
"Alright, but how come you have this new power and we don't?" Victor asked.
"I don't know, but it's pretty cool." Ty said in a smart-ass way.
"Whatever. Lin, Alexs, go stalk Arianna in cognito." Darius commanded the three.
The twins smiled and followed Lindsay.
Hotaru, Reeny, and the twins sat and watched Arianna at dance practice. The twins were laughing and screaming getting into the excitement their future mother was giving off.
Once Ari got out of her spin move, she skipped over to Reeny, "Dean said to say that your plan worked." she smiled then walked off to find Star to apologize.
As Dean walked in on the practice to watch the last bit, The Alexs and Lindsay walked by the window.
"Dean!" Stary screamed from the middle of the floor. "Ari and me are friends again!" she smiled.
"Great, because you'll be seeing her a lot more often." Dean called back, making Arianna blush.
Stary giggled her green eyes shinning brightly.
Reeny and Hotaru high fived each other.
"So you guys want to go out for a snack?" Dean offered everyone. "My apology for being a horrible friend."
"Yeah!" Stary dashed out the door with her duffel-bag.
The seven sat around a fountain eating ice cream. Not soon after they sat down the twins were full of ice cream.
Reeny sighed, "Come on let's get some napkins." Reeny put her cone and the twins' in the holder before going back to the vender.
Dean watched them leave, the floating cat head following them.
"Why do I have a sneaking feeling they're special too?" he asked the girls.
"Because they are." Hotaru said.
"They're from the future." Ari said like it was obvious.
"Really?" Dean said, looking at the electronic head.
"How come that head kind of looks like me?" Star asked.
"What do you mean?" Hotaru asked.
Stary looked around before turning into her guardian self. "I'm a cat, and I have an insignia like the one on the ball-type-thing."
Hotaru's eyes went wide.
"Stary," Sara screamed and went to pick up the cat. "you changed! I like when you are like this."
"So you know about my shape shifting pendant?" Star Dust asked the girl.
She nodded happily in response.
"Yeah, when I'm not around to baby-sit, they call on you. Apparently you are very entertaining." Reeny laughed.
"This is just strange." Dean shook his head.
