In a dark chamber a figure with crimson eyes and surrounded by a black cape spoke. "Sailor Pewter Fox! Sailor Titanium Kerokero!"

First came in a woman with purple hair and cold blue eyes wearing a grey sailor uniform that was covered with fur in places and a skullcap with large grey ears and a sun-like emblem on the forehead. "Pewter Fox here!" She was a crafty, manipulative woman.

Next a woman with bright green hair done up in two bun on either side and dark green eyes wearing a green that outfit that had a front that somewhat resembled the face of a frog. "Titanium Kerokero reporting for duty!" She was a tough girl who was always spoiling for a fight.

They both crossed their arms which had the Chaos Bracelets worn by the Sailor Animates. "We are ready to serve you Viscount Orichalcum."

Orichalcum turned to a star map. "Of Galaxia's empire we're all that's left, but now we have a chance to get it all back and build it better than before. First we must go to the earth and take the starseeds of our enemies."

"But if Sailor Moon was able to defeat Chaos…" Titanium Kerokero said.

"Don't you think I know that?" Orichalcum said. "When you, like the other animates, betrayed your homeworlds for their senshi's starseeds Galaxia put you under my authority therefore you must do what I say! We must move slowly and silently, we'll first get the Starseeds of the Sailor Knights they should be weaker then the Senshi but their starseeds will strengthen us."

"So which Knight do we go after first?" asked Pewter Fox.

"The Knight of Pluto; he hasn't awakened, yet his time is soon. That should make the starseed relatively easy to obtain but though we must look for it."

"I can find him." said Pewter Fox. "And even if they're falling in love, that's something I can fix!"

"By flirting?" said Titanium Kerokero.

"By using my feminine charm!"

"I don't care how you do it, just do it!"

Pewter Fox left for earth and Titanium Kerokero went to another part of their ship.

Orichalcum then started musing. "I must be ready for when their usefulness has expired. Then the starseeds of Kitsune and Tadpole can join the starseeds of Chuu, Mermaid, Coronis, Mau and Cocoon in my collection!" He opened his cape to show him wearing a gold colored outfit and he was holding five starseeds on a chain. "Huhahahahahahahahahaha!"

The two Anima-mates set up their headquarters at the reception hall where the wedding dinner was to be held for Haruka and Michiru. It was a convenient spot, easy enough to take over. The humans were easy targets to eliminate once their Star Seeds were taken. Granted this had left a few Phages running loose around the city, but who were they to be bothered by it?

"This stinks" Kerokero sighed. "It's not fair, Pewter! Why do you get to have all the fun?"

"You know your job already" Pewter Fox snapped. "And call me Kitsune when we're on earth."

Kerokero rolled her eyes. "Fine. Kitsune then. So what exactly are you going to be up to while I'm doing my part"

"Making sure the Pluto knight doesn't get interested in the princess of course."

Just then, a small bell rang, indicating someone had entered the shop. A woman with deep green hair.

"The Pluto princess" Kerokero whispered. Kitsune elbowed her in the side.

"Welcome! Welcome" she said pleasantly. "How may I help you"

"Um" Setsuna looked suspiciously at the employee. This was not anyone she remembered seeing working here before. Perhaps she had just started.

"Pardon me, but are you new here" she asked. Kitsune looked off-guard.

"Why yes, actually, I'm the new manager."

"New manager" Setsuna questioned. "But I was sure Mr. Konno was the manager. He's the one we booked our reception with."

"Don't worry, I'll be happy to take care of anything you need" Kitsune said with a smile. "Last name"

"Meioh" Setsuna said hesitantly. "I'm in the wedding party for Miss Kaiou and Miss Tenou."

At this, Kitsune pulled a massive binder off the shelf and began to flip through the records to find the reservation. As she was looking, the doorbell went off again. Only this time, it was a young man with red hair who entered.

"Hallen" Setsuna said pleasantly.

"Great" Kitsune muttered under her breath. For keeping the two of them apart, she was doing a lousy job so far. Then again she knew that with her cunning she can turn any situation her way.

"Hey it's you. From the other day, how did you know my name?"

"I'm part of the Wedding Party; actually we're supposed to be opposite each other."

Kitsune didn't like where this was going and if she messed up Orichalcum would have her hide, not to mention Kerokero would never let her live it down. "And how may I help you?" she said aloud in her most seductive voice.

"Well Uh… My name's Hallen Wantanabe, I'm with the Kaiou and Tenou wedding party."

"I'll look you up as well." she said in the same seductive voice still flipping through the book.

"To be honest I was hoping to see you again." Hallen said to Setsuna. "I guess we'll be seeing a lot off each other in the next few weeks."

"I'd like to get to know you better." Setsuna said.

"Well, if you're not doing anything tomorrow night I was going to go bowling with a few of the guys. Would you like to come?"

Setsuna had a hesitant look. "I've never bowled before."

"It's easy I can teach you."

"Wow!" Kitsune said suddenly. "I'm totally into bowling, mind if I come?"

They were both a bit surprised. "Uh, if you want."

"Kitsune you never…" Kerokero didn't get to finish her sentence as Kitsune stepped on her foot.

"Uh, Ribbita why don't you check the supply room?"

"Ribbita?" Kerokero whispered while grimacing.

"Now, while I find these two."

As Ribbita went to the back Haruka, Michiru, Taylor and Nathan came in. "We're here for a wedding rehearsal." said Michiru. "Kaiou and Tenou."

"Ah, I just found your group." Kitsune realized a plan get Setsuna and Hallen apart all she had to do was… Then she realized the registry names were written in ink. "Darn!" she whispered.

"Uh excuse me but where is Mr. Konno?" asked Haruka.

"He and the previous staff are pursuing new opportunities. But don't worry Ribbita and I, Kitsune, can handle all your needs to make that special day even more special."

Ribbita came out. "Everything checks out."

"So I guess we'll begin when the rest of your party arrives." Kitsune said. "Although you still haven't chosen a Ring Barer."

"I have a nephew who'll be our Ring Barer." said Nathan. "But he won't be here from Okinawa until the week of the wedding."

Then we just have to wait for the Flower girls, Bridesmaids and Groomsmen.

Haruka sat down in the corner. This whole thing sounded rather suspicious to her. Then again, she was hardly one to talk about weddings. Setsuna noticed her friend's anxiety and frankly didn't blame her for it, but with the wedding a mere few weeks away, there was hardly time to change their minds.

"So" said Hallen, looking around the room as he waited for a topic of conversation. "I hear you're making the dresses for this occasion, am I right?"

To this, Setsuna blushed. "Well, the bridal gowns, yes. We bought the bridesmaid's dresses."

"You don't say" Kitsune interrupted again. "Well, then, shouldn't you stay home and work on them rather than go bowling with us?"

Hallen scowled. Taking over the wedding hall was one thing, but interrupting like that was enough for him. "Excuse me" he said. "But I don't recall inviting you in the first place."

A sweatdrop the size of Japan dripped down the back of Kitsune's neck. "I beg your pardon" she said, trying to be as polite as possible but still not being able to resist a bit of sarcasm. "I didn't realize it was a date."

At the word "date" Setsuna felt all the red rush to her face. This had suddenly jumped from getting to know Hallen to a date with him? It wasn't like her at all. She was strict, serious, precise, and did not rush into things like that. Then again, the situation was hardly giving her an option.

"Well... I, um..." Hallen stuttered, realizing how big a mistake he'd made. "Well, if Setsuna wants it to be, then it is." he finally finished. Before Setsuna had the chance to reply, a car horn could be heard outside. It looked like Mamoru had the privilege of driving the rest of the wedding party over.

It was Ribbita's turn to sweat drop when she saw Chibiusa and Hotaru. "I hate kids." she was muttering to herself over and over.

"It's not fair" Chibiusa was whining. "Hotaru and I are too old to be flower girls."

"Stop it" said Hotaru. "It's Michiru and Haruka's wedding, so they decide who's what."

"Besides" Minako muttered from the backseat. "If we had to fit anymore people in this wedding party, we wouldn't survive the trip here."
