"Princess, what are you doing?" Aurora had asked from the center of the bunny-themed bedroom.
Curious green eyes watched as Tsukino Usagi had tossed various items of clothing above and behind her from the closet. Cargo pants had flown across the room and on top of Chibi Chibi's head. Aurora sweatdropped as the toodler tumbled off the bed and on top of the slumbering feline, Luna.
"Aurora-san," Usagi had called from behind the pile of clothing, "Onegai, call me Usagi."
"Okay, Usagi-san," Aurora smiled, "But what are you doing?"
Usagi's bright smile had appeared above the growing pile, "You are going to spend the whole day with me! I want to show you around Tokyo!"
"Eh?"

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Sailor Cosmos
Episode 203: A Day with Aurora. The Big Bad Bat!
"You sent for me, Vain-sama?" Sailor Cherry Blossom had bowed to her lord.
Vain had stood up from his throne. The masked lord had took the few steps down and walked forward. His boots lightly clicked against the marble floor as he headed towards Cherry Blossom. He placed a white gloved hand on her shoulder, "Follow me."
She had done so as he walked toward a solid wall. His form had sunk into the wall with the pink animamate close behind. The scenery had transformed into the two fields with a stone path inbetween.
"We need that jar, Sailor Cherry Blossom," he told her.
"Demo, my lord! Those pestering senshi keeps getting in my way!" she whinned.
Dark Lord Vain spun towards her, stopping her in her tracks, "Don't make excuses."
He placed a hand on her right wrist, right on top of her bracelet. Both bracelets vanished, reverting her into her civilian form, "Or do you want to return to your untrusted life?"
Kusubana Izumi's chocolate eyes widen with fear, "No!"
The dark lord smirked, letting go of her wrist, both bracelets returning. He spun around continuing to talk, "Without the jar, we can't get to the second mission."
"Second mission?" Sailor Cherry Blossom questioned.
"The Cosmic Star Blossom. It must be found to delay the creation of the future kingdom. You see these starseeds, Cherry Blossom-san? Over a period of time, select starseeds bloom into starblossoms within a special being. That blossom is passed on throughtout generations."
"Where is the blossom found?" the curious animamate asked.
"Within the future queen. Rumor has it that her starseed hasn't reached the stage to bloom. If we find her beforehand, the power of the cosmic will be ours. If it blooms, without the Jar of Chaos, we are powerless to even touch it and we don't want to risk that, now do we?"
- - -
"We will be in danger if we go out!" Aurora tried to explain to Usagi. She was facing the front door of the bunny's house.
"Not if they don't know who you are!" Usagi smiled widely and pushed her out.
A white tee-shirt, with the word Neko boldly written across the chest, and black carpis, which her tail tucked in, replaced her golden dress. In place of her golden pumps were black and white sneakers with thick pink laces. Large black shades covered her deep green eyes.
"With that outfit, not a soul can recognize you!" the white moon princess giggled.
Chibi Chibi wobbled behind Aurora, giggling happily. She also wore a baseball cap of her own. Aurora sighed in defeat. Usagi pointed in the air, shouting out, "To the arcade!"
Chibi Chibi mimiced cutely, "Arcade!"
Usagi smiled warmly below her, "That's the spirit, Chibi Chibi!"
"Spirit! Spirit!"
Usagi grabbed the hyper girl by the hand, "Calm down now."
Aurora smiled at the scene. It was as if she was watching a mother and daughter on a day out. She followed behind the two silently. What was the relation between these two?
- - -
"The winds are violent," a male voice stated sternly.
Two small pale hands touched the other near a cup of tea on top of a wooden surface.
A female's voice followed softly, "The oceans are restless."
"Your hands are cold, yet the time is warm."
"Must be the room. Warm them up, won't you?" the female softly requested with a giggle.
Another hand reached over and placed them on top of the others. The two hands grabbed the paler hands genlty, carassing them. The gentle rub ceased.
"Oi, is that koneko and chibi-chan?"
Tenou Haruka and Kaioh Michiru sat across from each other in a dim-lighted cafe. Haruka had spotted the blonde and red-headed bunnies at the side-walk. Her deep green eyes narrowed at the raven-haired woman behind them. They flickered with alert.
"Chibi Chibi-chan must be back for a visit. Who might that be?" Michiru wondered turning her head back to her lover.
"We should follow them."
With that, the sandy-blonde senshi of the sky had stepped out of the booth, leaving her tea.
Michiru sighed deeply to herself, "This isn't the way I want to greet the princess after being gone for so long."
- - -
Aurora, Chibi Chibi and Usagi laughed and talked while each were carrying shopping bags.Usagi tripped over a crack in the concrete, causing herself to fall on her face. Aurora fell on top of the clumsy princess, her tail becoming exposed. Both of them sweatdropped. Chibi Chibi reached to grab the cat woman's tail, giggling. Passers-by became curious. Haruka and Michiru, who was at the corner, also raised eyebrows.
At the Fruit Parlor Crown, Usagi had a chocolate covered ice cream tower. Aurora had herself a greenish float, recommended by Usagi. She watched it strangely. Next to her, Chibi Chibi munched on a slice of vinalla cake with strawberry icing, which was a bad idea. Before Usagi took another scoop of her ice cream, pieces of vinalla cake with strawberry icing slide down her face. Chibi Chibi, hands filled with the stuff, laughed happily, "Cake! Cake!"
Aurora sweatdropped. Usagi should have learned the first time that Chibi Chibi shouldn't be near cake. Haruka and Michiru passed by the window about six times, eyebrows still raised.

The computerized Sailor V had karate-kicked Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon had blocked the attack and used her upper-cut.
Aurora's eyes were illuminated with the bright, flashing pictures on the screen. She said to the young woman besides her, "My queen loved this type of stuff. I've never figured out what was so exciting about them, until now!"
Usagi's tongue was hanging out her mouth, "See! It was a good thing to go out today! Ack! You're killing me!"
Sailor V used her 'Creasant Beam' against Sailor Moon, depleting her life guage to about half.
"Usagi-chan!" a male's voice called out.
At that, Sailor Moon was defeated with a 'Creasant Super Beam'. Aurora cheered along with Chibi Chibi. Usagi's eyes became large with tears. She let her head hang, "I was beat by a rookie."
She sucked it up and turned around. Motoki was standing behind her, "Usagi-chan, it has been a while."
"Motoki-onii-san!" she smiled widely, "I thought that you weren't in today."
"I just came in," Motoki pointed to the doors behind him, "Those glass workers were quick on replacing the windows."
"What happened?"
"A youma came and blew the windows in! It was horrible, but Tuxedo Kamen and the senshi came to defeat it.That was awesome, but Sailor Moon didn't come."
Usagi glanced down at her shoes. She spoke softly, "Yeah."
Motoki placed a finger to his chin in thought, "Maybe she had a dentist appointment?"
Usagi nearly facefaulted.
"Ah! Mamoru-kun had stepped in on that same day."
"Honto?" Usagi's eyes glinted with love and joy, "What did he say?"
Motoki laughed, "He didn't say much, but on the fact that he might prop-" He slapped a hand over his mouth. He began to have images about Mamoru choking him while Usagi was hanging on Mamoru's leg, happy with a large diamond ring on her finger. Kenji, Usagi's father, had a shotgun in his hand chasing them.
"Nani?" Usagi raised an eyebrow.
Motoki sweatdropped at himself, "Well, he's was suppose to talk to you about... that thing."
"What thing?" Large curious eyes were on Motoki.
"You know. That BIG thing."
Usagi's eyebrows knitted in confusion, "What are you talking about Motoki-onii-san?"
"Say, Prin- I mean, Usagi-san! What's next on our agenda today?" Aurora walked up next to the highly confused woman.
Changing the subject completely and quickly, "Who's that?"
Usagi's curious confusion was replaced a absolute joy, "This is Aurora-san! Aurora-san, this is Motoki-onii-san!"
"It's great to meet you, Aurora-san," Motoki held out a hand for her to shake.
"Likewise."
A question mark appeared over Motoki's head, "Say. Wasn't there a little kid with you guys earlier?"
"Nani?" both of them become alert. Their eyes drifted to where the kid was suppose to be.
"Chibi Chibi!"
Outside, Chibi Chibi was taking a stroll down the side-walk of the Juuban Shopping Center, giggling happily, "Chibi."
Two overbearing shadows covered her small form. Chibi Chibi looked up in question.
"Where do you think you are going, chibi-chan?"
Chibi Chibi grinned wide, "Chibi!"
"Haruka-san! Michiru-san!" Usagi greeted happily after exitting the arcade. Aurora was close behind, causing Haruka to glare.

In the park. . .
"My question would be who is the future queen?" Sailor Cherry Blossom asked herself while sitting in a tree. She was gazing down at the people passing underneath. "Our target would have to be a woman of grace, wisdom and beauty."
"Chibi Chibi!" Usagi yelled out, catching Sailor Cherry Blossom's attention. A small child ran around the tree with a blonde haired teenager with outrageous buns on her head chasing her. "Chibi Chi- Itai!"
Usagi had tripped over a small pebble and landed smack dab on her face for the second time that day. Sailor Cherry Blossom sweatdropped, "Well, we all know that it's not her."
"Usagi-san!" a familiar voice filled the animamate's ears. She become alert. "Daijoubu ka?"
Aurora ran up to assist the fallen princess with astrong wind blowing her cap away. From a few feet away, Haruka sweatdropped with a goofy grin while Michiru giggled lightly. The playful mood was ruined when the poofy-panted animamate had leaped from the tree and infront of Aurora.
Grinning, "I knew it was you and not a sailor senshi in sight. Where's that jar?"
Aurora reached into one of the pockets of the capri pants and pulled out the golden broach.
Usagi lifted her head up, swirly eyed, to see what was going on.
"What are you going to do now? Hurt me?"
"Whatever it takes." Aurora lifted her broach up above her head, "Cosmic Light! Henshin!"
Within a few seconds, goldenglitter showered upon Aurora's being and the golden dress from before replaced the street clothing. A long golden staff was held firm in her left hand, the golden jar in the other.
"And let me guess that that's the Light of Hope."
Chibi Chibi had put a scornful look on her face. She hid behind Usagi, who had stood up. Sailor Cherry Blossom took a few steps to them yet Aurora stopped her by swinging her staff in front of her. Aurora'seyes were hard as stone as her voice as tough as steel.
"Don't you dare touch them."
"World Shaking!"
A golden ball of energy was driven through the ground and hurdled towards Sailor Cherry Blossom. Caught off gaurd, she barely dodged it with a flip. She glared towards the direction the attack came from, a pink rose petal flying across her face, "The hell?"
At one side of the park, Super Sailor Uranus was leaning against a tree, triwling a sword of some type, the jewels of it glistening, "Protected by the Distant Skyplanet, Uranus, I am the soldier of wind, the magnificentSailor Uranus!" She leaped into the sky.
"Protected by the planet of the Deep Sea, Neptune-"
Sailor Cherry Blossom gazed across the other side to catch Super Sailor Neptune near the lake. She held a hand-held, green and gold mirror close to her chest.
"I am the soldier of water, the elegant Sailor Neptune!"
She also jumped upwards, Sailor Cherry Blossom loosing sight of her. She stumbled to her feet, trying to find a trace of the two senshi. Aurora was also curious as to where they went.
"Submarine Reflection!"
"Run princess," Uranus had landed behind Usagi and Chibi Chibi, "Hayaku!"
"Demo-" Usagi gasped as the senshi of wind leap into the battle scene.
"Space Sword Blaster!"
Aurora whispered, "We should go."
The strawberry blonde caught the three of them escaping. She growled, "No you don't!"
She held both her arms outwards from the sides of her body aimming them at the senshi. Intense gold light gathered at both her bracelets. She yelled out, "Vine Whip!"
From each palm of her hand, a long, green vine escaped and wrapped around each of the senshi. From the force, both of them fell with a shriek.
"Spring Blast!" she pointed towards Aurora and narrow strip of lime green light emerged from her finger.
Aurora spun around as her emerald eyes grew in fright. She clutched the jar tightly as the beam grew close. What she felt next wasn't the pain of the beam, but her body being pushed into the ground. Usagi had saved her by jumping on top of her. The girl on top of her wasn't moving immediately. Her heart's beating rate grew as well as her fears.
"Princess! Daijoubu? Usagi-san!"
Usagi lifted her head upwards to gaze warmingly, "A. Daijoubu!"
Aurora let out a sigh of relief, but that didn't stop her from panicing. The heart-shapped jar wasn't in her hands anymore, but was sent a few feet away from them both.
The senshi of Spring had cheered. She finally was going toretrieve the jar and not a soul was going to stop her. But wait... Chibi Chibi was running towards the jar! The animamate began to dash for it, but a deep green boot got in her legs' way, causing her to fall on her face. She mummbled something into the grass.
"Where do you think you are going?" the deep sea senshi asked from her position on the ground.
Sailor Uranus grinned at her partner.
Just before Chibi Chibi could touch the Jar of Chaos. . .
"Bat Wing!"
A bommerang of black energy had knocked the wanted object even further.
"Nani?" each person gasped, but the pink animamate. She knew exactly who it was.
Black gloved hands had picked the heart-shapped jar. A small woman with ebony hair twisted in odd loops had gotten the jar first. Her bat ears wiggled happily as a grin spread across her pale face. Her charcoal eyes danced their way to the fallen Sailor Cherry Blossom. She sighed, "I knew you couldn't do it, but I must thank you for the effort."
"Mimic," the spring senshi growled under her breath.
"Let's go!" Mimic, the bat girl, shouted and disappeared with the object. Sailor Cherry Blossom did the same, leaving Usagi, Aurora, Chibi Chibi, Uranus and Neptune dumbfounded.
- - -
"Mission Complete, Vain-sama," Mimic bowed at the masked lord who had his back to her. He was facing the screen that flashed images of the planet Earth. Sailor Cherry Blossom held a scowl on her face as Mimic proudly held the jar forward.
"I knew you could do it, Mimic-san," Vain chuckled while spinning around.
Mimic's smile grew larger. Cherry Blossom spun around about to leave.
"You should watch this, Cherry Blossom-san."
As Vain touched the Jar of Chaos, intense dark energy, known as Chaos, flew to his fingers. Cherry Blossom turned her head just to see Vain's once white mane grow black. His scarlet eyeswere a deeper tone. Not only did his appearance change, but his power increased. The women in the room could feel their master's aura give off an overwhelming feel. Cherry Blossom's eyes grew large as the new man walk to her. The same hand that touched her before now felt addicting. Her eyes grew lustful.
"Now with step one complete, find me the queen. Can you do that?"
Sailor Cherry Blossom's own voice was filled with dark passion, "Hai, my lord."
The screen flashes white and the credits roll . . .
