On the road to New York! So, I decided to work on some more chapters in advance.

Hope you enjoy! This is Chapter 1 continued.

Chapter 1: Reminiscence (cont.)

Neo Queen Serenity opened the large doors, Endymion turned and looked to her from his work. "What is it dear?" He asked, instantly sensing her urgency."Well, it seems as if someone has fallen into the gateway of time..." Endymion shot up, "Who! Is it Rini!" Serenity shook her head, "It appears to have been Mistume, though she was acting strangely..." Endymion walked over to Serenity and placed his hand on her cheek. She placed hers on top of his and nodded. He then walked out of the room.

"Mistume fell in!" Mercury asked in shock. "I told her to rest in bed, she was acting strangely..." Jupiter shook her head, "How could this happen...?" The other scouts all stood silently, looking to each other or the alternative, the floor. Finally Sailor Mars stepped forth, and the others looked to her. "It appears I'm in charge at the moment... so then, first things first, we must come up with a plan." The others nodded in argeement. "I think this calls for all eyes to be on alert. There are many possibilities." Mars looked over to Pluto, who instantly replied, "She could either be wondering around in the dimensions, or she could have been thrown back in time..." Pluto looked as if she remembered something, and Mars asked, "What is it Pluto?" Pluto looked to her. "I do remember a slight pink light but I was distracted because Small Lady had entered the room..." Mercury gave a slight smile, "She knows it's forbidden to see you, yet she continues to go... I think that's sweet..." Mars looked to Mercury scoldingly, "It may be, but at the moment we're more focused on returning Mitsume!" Mercury looked to Mars in slight shock, as did the others. Mars then turned walking to Pluto, "Who knows what will happen to the present future, or past... the longer we leave her out there, the more time will change. And also, in her state, I doubt she'll know what to do if..." Pluto nodded, and bowed her head. "Someone must inform Serena and the others, they could possibly aid us..." The others nodded in unison. "Who's going to inform them?" Jupiter asked. Just then Luna P. rolled and hit Pluto on the ankle, and Pluto instantly gave a faint smile. Everyone looked to the door, to see Rini peering in with a concerned look, yet she had a slight smile. "The queen will never agree to this..."

----Meanwhile----

Mitsume sat at a table, finally being sheilded from the sun under the umbrella. She caught her breath, and looked around. "How did I get here?" She glanced around the bustling city and finally layed her head on her folded arms that were upon the table. She rested here for a short time before sitting up and looking around in a semi-dazed stare. "I need to find him..." Mistume smiled, imagining a man laughing, holding his arms open. But soon, her smile vanishes, as it all fades out in a shrill scream of terror. She flinched, grabbing her head and sweating profusely. "What... what's wrong with me!"

Lita was back on the arcade game, alongside Mina. Ami was back on the same stool watching the two. Rei and Serena were off to the side, along with Luna and Artimus. "I sensed a strong energy force from her." Artimus finally said. Rei didn't move, other than the slight nod she gave. Serena knelt down petting Luna and staring out of the doors, "I wonder if she's an enemy..." Suddenly a jingling sound is heard, and the sliding glass doors open. A small tan kitten walks in, her eyes a bright red. She had a brown symbol on her head, the shape of a sun. The kitten's collar contained a small bell, which made that jingle with every step she took. The kitten's pupils grew incredibly small as she gave a low defensive growl at Luna and Artimus. "Oh pipe down kitten. We're not a threat." Luna said, nuzzling into Serena's hand. The kitten's ears drew back, but then perked up as she looked toward the street. A bright pink light formed, and a young girl is heard giving a loud scream. "OOF!" She says hitting the ground. Serena and the cats race outside. "R-Rini!" Serena managed to say. Rini stood, dusting off her clothes. Luna P. floated beside her. "It is! It's Rini! But... she's not the same one... she's a younger Rini..." Luna P. made her way over to the group, and Rini raced in behind her. She instantly grabbed one of Serena's long strands of hair. "Hey! That's my mommy's hairstyle!"
