Well here we are at Chapter 20. Boy sometimes these stories just keep going. Anyway I am at an em pass, I am thinking of ending it in the next chapter or two but would like some input. Cause as you can see I could go on forever with them trying to get to a comfortable time line. I will have a minimum of two more chapters but that depends on you the readers, review and let me know if you wanted longer or end it quickly and to the point.

Hope to hear from you

Chapter 20: HELP, PLU!

Alex found himself face to face with Sailor Pluto. Everyone with few exceptions feared the senshi of time, one exception was his sister. Serena stood beside Alex explaining their dilemma and whatever else the tall senshi asked. So far they had covered who they were and proved it by birthmark, how they ended up in the original predicament, and now were covering how they got into the current predicament. "...so then when we knocked Usagi told us how she had found Mamoru and Jarod about a month before the accident and adopted them afterwards."

"That is a very interesting story and does explain a lot. Let me see if Crystal Tokyo is even a posibility at this point," Pluto stood and closed her eyes in concentration...the garnet orb began to glow blood red. After several minutes the senshi opened her eyes. "The future you come from is but a shadow. Sadly it is almost gone; however we still have a chance. I can use a very powerful attack that may straighten things out but it could also make them worse."

"We don't have much else to loose," Alex admitted solmnly.

"And if we fade from existence it won't matter..." Serena trailed off.

"Very well, hold on to each other." The two siblings took each others hands. "PLUTO TIME WAVE RELEASE!"

The very halls of time faded in and out of existence making the siblings wonder it that was possibly a forbidden attack. Each senshi had at least one attack that was forbidden but for that fact alone it was never spoken of. Soon things shifted back to a somewhat normal looking form of being. Alex looked over Serena and she him, both sighing that they were still there and no noticeable changes. Taking in a deep breath the two teleported to Tokyo 2002 October to find out what surprises awaited them.

In Tokyo, they decided to look for their parents the old fashioned way to avoid uncomfortable meetings like the one with Usagi. After visiting the Crown for some food and the park to relax they got to searching. They were soon surprised to here voices similar to their parents.

"Oh, Mamo-chan, you should be more careful." came a deeper sounding voice of Usagi

"Well, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have to be." replied a higher pitched Mamoru.

The two turned excitedly and fainted dead at the site. A pregnant female Mamoru swooned over the unconscious duo, followed by a concerned male Usagi. "They both have strong pulses I think they should be ok. Maybe I still have the smelling salts in my purse," Mamoru commented mostly to herself.

"Here, you asked me to hold them," Usagi said digging in his pocket and retrieving the wanted item. "Really I think this pregnancy is getting to your brain."

"It takes two Usako and I distinctly remember you being there too."

The duo quickly stood saying over and over again they were fine as they hastily ran away from the most awkward situation yet. Once safely back in the Crown hiding near the back the two began whispering. "That was weird!"

"You can say that again Mom was a guy! And Dad was Pregnant!"

"At least they were together," Serena commented as the door chime announced the arrival of more people. Looking up they saw four somewhat familiar males enter and take the booth that the senshi normally took. Upon closer examination and mini-computer confirmation it was revealed that they were the senshi.

Rei's hair was held in a low ponytail and was wearing khakis and a hoodie. Makoto sat next to him in a similar ons amble with his hair cut shorter and loose. Minako had a very short cut with it spiked in the front, he was wearing a tank top and jeans. Ami had his hair the same as when he was female and wore a conservative outfit of jeans and a button down.

After overcoming their shook the duo moved closer to hear what the quartet were talking about. "I can't believe that he knocked her up."

"Well Rei it isn't like you and Jedite haven't had a scare," laughed Makoto.

"Malachite is getting tested today. If she is pregnant then that means that Mamoru's little one will have someone to play with."

"Zoisite and I would like to but I think she is still too shaken up from the miscarriage to try again." Ami said sadly. The group got quiet as they remembered that night not even two months ago... Zoisite was about four months in and then woke with terrible cramping Ami was frantic. They got to the hospital within half an hour and the doctors told them that unfortunately the child had gotten strangled by the umbilical cord.

The door brought the quartet out of the stupor as a female approached the table. "Hey, Mally. How did it go?" Asked Minako.

Malachite who was wearing her white blond hair similar to the female Minako smiled and swirled happily letting the summer dress fly up. "It is positive. We are going to have a little one... and I ran into Mamoru and Usagi it turns out they are going to have twins!" Malachite said grinning.

"Shouldn't you have let them tell us?" Asked Makoto, as the two in questioned walked in Usagi closely behind Mamoru like she was going to break or fall.

"Usako, I am not due for another 3 months. Stop watching over me like I am going to pop at any second."

"But Mamo-chan, twins are normally earlier. With the fact that twins are normally premature I think it best not to leave you alone in case you go into labor and need me." All Mamoru could do was nod at the blond, who to the duo looked almost identical to Motoki.

Mamoru waddled over to the senshi as the three remaining generals arrived and greeted them. Mamoru looked about nine months pregnant, kept his hair in a style like Pluto and sported a green a-line tank top and blue wrap around. Usagi followed behind sporting jean shorts and a red polo shirt. Soon the ten friends divided by gender. It was at the point that it looked like the generals and Mamoru were having a baby shower that Alex and Serena decided to leave. On their way out they were almost ran down by a Mamoru twin only the hair was shorter and free like Rei's used to be.

"Jarod!" Came the happy cries from the group of females.

Alex and Serena shook their heads, "Plu said that what she did should have put us closer to Crystal Tokyo so lets see how close we are." Serena suggested. The two siblings took each other's hands and focused on the gardens of the Crystal Palace.

Surprisingly when they opened their eyes they were there in the same garden from their memories. Serena collapsed to her knees, "We're home..." she sighed.

Alex for once being the pessimistic one shook his head. Spotting two pre-teens approaching Alex quickly pulled Serena behind a rose bush. "Alex and Serena's eighteenth birthday is coming up, what are you going to get them?" Asked the girl.

"I don't know. To be honest I don't think they like me that much." Came the boys response.

"Oh, Sol, they are our siblings of course they like you. They love you."

"If only I could believe you Crystal. But they know more than most that we aren't really their siblings and I think they hold it against me that we are here and take up their parents precious time." At this point both Alex and Serena looked confused.

Alex came up behind them, "Excuse me, sorry, but I am visiting with my parents from abroad and have lost my way. Hey, did I hear you mention that someone's birthday is coming up?"

The twins bought Alex's story, "Yes, our twin brother and sister. They aren't twin to Sol or me but another set of twins. They turn eighteen on the fifth of November."

"Oh, how wonderful. I must tell my parents so we are prepared, can you direct me back to the eastern wing." Sol nodded and gave this strangely familiar boy directions he nodded and headed in the direction of the desired wing.

Serena knew where her brother was heading but wanted to know more about Crystal and Sol. After the initial conversation though they just walked and didn't say too much. So after about fifteen minutes Serena headed to the castle to meet up with Alex in their secret room.

The secret room was just between the Royal and Presidential wings it's entrance hidden behind a planted rose bush and a picture of the young King and Queen. Serena sighed when she found it where it had always been and Alex inside. Once inside Serena spoke, "I think we should give Mom and Dad the choice. See if they are happy or if they would change it."

Alex nodded, "I agree."

Again the duo set out this time to find their parents. They found them in the royal bed chambers. Endymion wore a purple simple style empire gown, while Serenity sported a gold and silver tuxedo. The couple looked surprised by the presence of their children's younger selves.

"Majesties," the duo said with a deep bow.
