Sailor Moon One-shots

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter.)

"Hotaru-chan! Ready to go?" Usagi asked smiling at the smaller girl who ran towards her attached herself to Usagi's leg.

"Hai Usa-hime!" Hotaru said beaming brightly up at the girl she had considered to be her third mama but never said as much.

"Come on then Firefly! I promised to take you to the arcade and park today didn't I?" Usagi asked grinning down at the six year old that was attached to her leg, making the lavender eyed girl nod her head happily and untangle herself from Usagi's leg to grab the outstretched hand.

"Hai!" Hotaru said happily as she skipped alongside her princess. Normally she wasn't the type to skip or anything extra girly like that…but her princess was special.

"Which do you want to do first Firefly? Arcade or Park? Or should we go back to my house and drop off your stuff first?" Usagi asked looking at the overnight bag that Hotaru was holding in her arms, quickly and easily taking it from the younger girl.

"Let's drop off our stuff first then we can go play!" Hotaru said happily and making Usagi nod in agreement as she carried the bag and walked with Hotaru all the way to her house, not minding the fact that the girl clung to her hand like a viper and glared at several people as they walked past. Well…more like she didn't notice the little girl glaring darkly at the other people.

"Thank you for letting me stay the night!" Hotaru said cheerfully as they left Usagi's house several minutes later, leaving Hotaru's things aside from some money for the arcade and some sunscreen for their visit to the park.

"It's not a problem. You know I don't mind spending time with you, I'm just glad your mamas and papa let you stay the night." Usagi said cheerfully as they walked to the Crown, the go to hangout spot for the Sailor Senshi when they weren't 'in uniform' as Minako put it.

"Setsuna-mama had to work at the observatory tonight so she didn't mind. Michiru-mama and Haruka-papa seemed happy to have the house to themselves." Hotaru said making Usagi nod her head slightly.

"Yeah it's probably a good thing for them to have some peace and quiet, although I doubt you're very noisy to begin with or Setsuna for that matter." Usagi said completely oblivious as to what the married couple was probably doing with their first 'alone time' in months.

"What should we play first Usa-hime?" Hotaru asked her eyes lighting up as they entered the arcade, and quickly changing the subject since she had walked in on her parents more than once.

"You decide Firefly." Usagi said happily as she looked around at the games and followed Hotaru towards a racing game.

"Haruka-papa taught me how to play this one! Wanna race?" Hotaru asked looking up at Usagi with wide eager eyes.

"Sure but I'm not too good at it!" Usagi agreed easily even though she knew she was horrible at this game. After a few embarrassing moments of getting her butt kicked in the racing game by a girl whose feet could barely reach the pedals, Hotaru took some pity on her princess and decided that she was thirsty.

"Can we play the Sailor V game after we get done with our drinks?" Hotaru asked beaming up at Usagi who had just bought them both some orange soda.

"Sure thing." Usagi agreed happily only to bump into a boy around her age.

"What's a cutie like you doing here?" The boy took one look at Usagi and began flirting, making her blink at him for a minute. Hotaru was giving him her best evil eye in her civilian form, but it seemed that the boy was completely ignoring the six year old.

"I'm playing the games with Hotaru-chan." Usagi said giving the boy a weird look. Why else would someone come into the arcade other than to play games? Hotaru began growling a bit as she stared at the boy who kept flirting with her princess. This was her day with the princess before their sleepover! How dare he try and get in between her and her princess having fun?

"Well how about you leave your kid sister with your parents an-hey!" The boy yelped when Hotaru pretended to stumble, hitting the floor beside the boys leg and spilling her orange soda over his pants at just the right spot to make it look like he had wet himself.

"Firefly are you okay?" Usagi completely ignored the boy as she knelt down to check on Hotaru who was rubbing her arm.

"I'm okay. I tripped on something but my soda!" Hotaru looked at the dropped cup in dismay and making Usagi stroke her hair.

"Don't worry sweetie. I'll get you a fresh cup right now and then we can go play that Sailor V game alright?" Usagi asked softly, making Hotaru look up at her with wide tear brimmed eyes that broke Usagi's heart. Hotaru hated to manipulate her princess like this…but she had to get Usagi away from the boy so that Hotaru could scare him off.

"Okay." Hotaru said making Usagi smile at her and kiss her forehead, which made her look surprised and blush a bit as she smiled shyly.

"Okay listen here you punk!" Hotaru's voice turned dark and cold as she glared up at the boy who was standing there forgotten by the blond.

"You leave Usa-hime alone! This is my day with her! So go away or else." Hotaru said giving him her best 'Bitch I'm gonna kill you with my EYES' glare that she learned from Rei. It was less effective on the cute six year old but it did get the boys attention.

"Or else what?" The boy asked looking down at Hotaru who gave a sickly sweet smile that seemed twisted on the young childish face.

"It already looks like you wet your pants. I'm at the perfect height to give you a right hook straight to your groin like Haruka-papa taught me too. Plus with all the people around…what do you think would happen if I yelled Pedophile or Kidnapper?" Hotaru asked making the boy stare at her shocked for a moment before he paled slightly.

"You wouldn't." The boy said wide eyed, causing Hotaru to give him a 'I warned you' look before she fixed her face into a scared expression as she darted over to a young woman that had just come into the café section of the arcade.

"Help me please! The mean boy said he was going to take me away and that I was too cute to leave alone!" Hotaru cried to the woman, hiding behind her leg while the boy looked shocked that she actually did it.

"He said what?" The woman demanded looking from the seemingly terrified six year old to the seventeen year old boy who had a wet spot on his pants and a shocked and scared expression on his face.

"What? I didn't say anything like that! She's lying." The boy said defensively at the glare the woman was giving him as a few other people began to murmur to themselves as they gave the boy the evil eye.

"A pedophile? Here? He has some nerve trying to snatch a little girl in a crowded area." Were just a few of the murmurs as Usagi made her way back over looking confused and alarmed.

"Hotaru-chan? What happened? What's wrong?" Usagi asked making her way to the little girl immediately.

"Usa-mama!" Hotaru cried launching forward and nearly tackling her princess's legs in a hug, accidentally saying mama instead of Hime. Not that Usagi noticed immediately since she was more worried about how scared Hotaru looked.

"What happened Firefly? I left for just a minute or two to get you a new soda. Who scared you? Did someone hurt you?" Usagi asked setting the drinks down on the nearby table and bending down to hug Hotaru back.

"Apparently that young man over there was trying to kidnap her." The woman Hotaru had ran too said her eyes softening a bit as she looked at the young blond haired teen who the scared girl had called mama.

"What." Usagi's voice went completely flat as her eyes darkened in anger.

"He…he said that I…I was too cute to leave alone. I wanna go home." Hotaru cried into Usagi's shoulder, hiding her face from the boy who was being surrounded by the others in the arcade.

"Shhh. It's okay Firefly. He's not gonna get you. If he even tries it then I'm going to beat him to the 30th century and back. Do you want me to call Setsuna or maybe Michiru and Haruka?" Usagi asked trying to sooth Hotaru even as she glared her darkest glare at the boy who made a run for it to escape from the angry mob that was about to form.

"I just wanna go back to the house." Hotaru sniffled making Usagi nod and pet her hair as she kissed the girls head.

"That's fine sweetie. Let's get back to the house and away from any dirty boys who try and take you away from me." Usagi said easily carrying Hotaru out of the arcade and back down to her house, doing her best to cheer the little girl up.

After making sure that Hotaru was okay to stay the night and ready for bed, Usagi went to get a shower herself and wondered if she should call Michiru and Haruka to let them know what happened.

Setsuna already knew, there was no doubt about that. That woman knew everything.

Unknown to Usagi was that Hotaru received a text message on her cell phone from Setsuna at that moment.

Hotaru gave a dark giggle and cuddled down into Usagi's bed where Luna was curled up on one of the pillows already fast asleep.

'I know what you did little Firefly. Good job and your acting lessons seem to be paying off. I'll buy you some ice cream when you get home tomorrow. Goodnight sweetheart. Love, Setsuna.'
