RRTAB: Read, Review, and Tell A Buddy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon!


Posimas led Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen to a crowded street. "This is the Market Square. They usually do demonstrations and street performances here. It's a really fun place in the city. Although," the princess said. "I've never been around while it was so crowded. I wonder what's going on."

Tuxedo Kamen and Sailor Moon exchanged glances. "Let's go see," Sailor Moon exclaimed. She grabbed Princess Posimas's and Tuxedo Kamen's hands pulled them to the middle of the crowd.


Makoto opened the door of her apartment and ushered Ami through. "Thanks, again, Ami-chan. For coming with me, I mean. I would have been a mess without you there with me."

"Really, Makoto-san," Ami smiled softly. "It was nothing. I know how hard this weekend must have been for you."

Makoto returned the smile with one of her own. She pulled out her communicator. "We'd better let the other know we're back." Ami nodded her agreement and Makoto pressed the button on her communicator. "Hey, everyone. Ami and I are back, so in the next youma attack, I want to be the first to kick some intergalactic butt. Got it?"

She almost immediately got a reply for Minako. "Welcome back. As for kicking intergalactic butt, sorry, I have dibs. You can be the second. But, there's a bit of a situation at the moment. Come to Hikawa Shrine. We're already here." The communicator shut off.

Makoto frowned. "Did you know anything about this?"

Ami shook her head. "We should get going, though. It sounded pretty important."

The brunette nodded. "Let's go."


The crowd grew in size as time elapsed. "Do you think there's a performance?" Posimas yelled over the noise.

Sailor Moon shrugged. "Let's ask someone!" She looked to her left to see a group of people talking amongst each other. She tapped on the shoulder of the closest person. "Excuse me, Sir. Could you tell me why everyone is gathered here?"

"You don't know?" The man took a look at her clothes. "You're not from here, are you?"

"No," Sailor Moon said with a shake of her head. "I'm from—."

"The outskirts of the kingdom," Posimas lied quickly. She shot the two heroes an 'I'll explain later' look before turning back to the man. "Could you tell us why, please?"

The man's eyes widened. "Princess?" He suddenly took on a panicked look. "You're not supposed to be here!"

Posimas frowned. "Why not?"

The man opened his mouth to respond but was silenced with the sound of a bullhorn. A man stood on the makeshift platform in the middle of the crowd. "People of Atlantis! We have been threatened!"

An echo of 'boo's circled throughout the crowd. The princess's frowned deepened. "Threatened?"

The man on the platform continued. "Our great god, Poseidon, the lord of the sea, has been overthrown and hoodlums have taken his place!"

Another round of 'boo's circled. Sailor Moon stole a glance at Posimas and she could immediately tell that the soft-hearted princess was horrified. The man continued. "These hoodlums have threatened us and used Poseidon's mighty triton against us and the surface dwellers! What will make them stop? They say they want a sacrifice! They want our precious Princess Posimas!"

Another round of 'boo's. At this point, Posimas understood. Her people were being attacked… because of her… Tears ran down her cheeks.

The man didn't stop talking. "People of Atlantis! People of the great kingdom of Mizu! Let's show them how tough we can be! Let's show them that our Princess isn't for sell! Long live Princess Posimas! Long live Princess Posimas!"

The crowd cheered and began to chant. "Long live Princess Posimas! Our Princess is not for sell! Long live Princess Posimas! Our Princess is not for sell."

Tuxedo Kamen, too, saw how broken down Posimas was at the news. "Let's get out of here." He took Moon's and Posimas's hand and weaved his way out of the crowd.

They walked into a nearby restaurant and were seated immediately. Sailor Moon pulled a napkin out of the holder on the table and handed it to the girl. She smiled despite her tears. "I suppose I should be happy to have such loyal followers. It's just…to know they are suffering because of me… It's too much."

"It's not your fault," Moon consoled her. "Whoever overthrew Poseidon is to blame."

"And my guess is that the culprit is also the person that dragged us underwater yesterday," Kamen added.

"I still don't understand," she said while wiping away the tears. "Why was I kept in the dark? Why wasn't I told?"

"They probably didn't want to worry you," Tuxedo Kamen suggested.

Posimas sighed. "I have to do something about this. I can't let my people suffer any longer."

"What do you have in mind?"

Posimas sat in thought. "I'll offer myself as the sacrifice they want. Maybe then they'll leave everyone alone."

Sailor Moon shook her head. "That's not happening." Her eyes widened. "What if Tuxedo Kamen and I helped! We help people all the time in Tokyo! Supernatural villains are just up our alley!"

Tuxedo Kamen nodded. "And if we get Poseidon back on the thrown, he might just help us get home."

Posimas shook her head. "Poseidon's palace is beyond the kingdom's walls. Your bodies wouldn't survive under the pressure. Even now, it is working against you. Have you felt heavier since you've been here?"

"Well," Moon said, "Now that you mention it, I do feel like I've gained a few extra pounds."

"But," Kamen spoke, "We all need Poseidon for different goals. We're Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen. I'm sure we'll find a way to handle the pressure and the water."

Posimas bit her lip. "I still don't think it's a good idea," she mumbled. "But, if you insist, okay. We leave tomorrow at five o'clock. If you don't have a solution to this problem by then, you must stay here. Agreed?"

Sailor Moon looked Tuxedo Kamen and nodded. "Agreed," they said together.
