The Sailor Scouts' Plan Part 1
Sailors Venus, Mars, and Jupiter were still in the castle, Sailor Venus was pacing the floor thinking while Sailors Mars & Jupiter were drinking tea.
"Silly fiddle faddle!" Sailor Venus said irritably.
"Now, come have a nice cup of tea, dear, I'm sure it'll work out somehow." Sailor Mars said, pouring a cup of tea for Sailor Venus.
"Well, a bonfire won't stop Queen Beryl." Sailor Jupiter said.
"Of course not, but what will?" Sailor Venus asked.
"Well, perhaps if we reason with her." Sailor Mars suggested.
"Reason?" Sailor Venus asked Sailor Mars.
"With Queen Beryl?" Sailor Jupiter asked Sailor Mars.
"Well, she can't be all bad." Sailor Mars said.
"Oh, yes, she can." Sailor Venus said.
"I'd like to turn her into a lightning rod!" Sailor Jupiter said.
"Now, dear, that isn't a very nice thing to say." Sailor Mars said to Sailor Jupiter.
"Besides, we can't, you know our powers don't work that way." Sailor Venus said.
"Well, that would make me happy." Sailor Jupiter said.
"But there must be some way... there is!" Sailor Venus exclaimed.
"There is?" Sailor Jupiter asked Sailor Venus.
"What is it, Venus?" Sailor Mars asked.
"I'm going to ... shh, shh, shh! Even walls have ears," Sailor Venus said, beginning to walk to another room. "Follow me!"
Sailors Mars & Jupiter followed Sailor Venus into the other room.
"What's your idea, Venus?" Sailor Jupiter asked.
"I'll turn her into a flower!" Sailor Venus exclaimed.
"Queen Beryl?" Sailor Jupiter asked.
"Oh no, dear, the princess!" Sailor Venus told Sailor Jupiter.
"Oh she'd make a lovely flower." Sailor Mars said to Sailor Venus.
"Don't you see, a flower can't prick its finger." Sailor Venus said.
"It hasn't any." Sailor Jupiter said.
"That's right." Sailor Mars said.
"She'll be perfectly safe." Sailor Venus said.
"Until Queen Beryl sends a frost." Sailor Jupiter said.
"Yes, a... oh dear!" Sailor Venus exclaimed.
Sailor Mars looked at Sailor Venus.
"She always ruins your nicest flowers." Sailor Mars sighed.
"You're right, and she'll be expecting us to do something like that." Sailor Venus said.
"But what won't she expect, she knows everything." Sailor Jupiter said.
"Oh but she doesn't dear," Sailor Mars said. "Queen Beryl doesn't know anything about love, or kindness, or the joy of helping others, you know, sometimes I don't think she's really very happy."
"That's it, of course! It's the only thing she can't understand, and won't expect." Sailor Venus said.
"What do you mean?" Sailor Mars asked Sailor Venus curiously.
Sailor Venus began talking to herself as she planned out the entire thing.
"Oh, oh, now, now... We have to plan it carefully, let's see, the woodcutters cottage, yes, yes, the abandoned one, of course King Darien and Queen Serena will object, but when we explain it's the only way..." Sailor Venus explained.
"Explain what?" Sailor Jupiter asked Sailor Venus.
"About the three peasant women raising a foundling child deep in the forest." Sailor Venus explained.
"Oh, that's very nice of them." Sailor Mars said.
"Who are they?" Sailor Jupiter asked curiously.
"Lets revert back to our civilian forms." Sailor Venus said.
Sailor Venus reverted back to her civilian form of Mina Aino, Sailor Mars reverted back to her civilian form of Raye Hino, and Sailor Venus reverted back to her civilian form of Lita Kino.
"Iih... why, it's... us!" Raye exclaimed.
"You mean, we, us?" Lita asked.
"Take care of the baby?" Raye asked.
"Why not?" Mina asked.
"Oh, I'd like that!" Raye exclaimed.
Lita was the only member of the trio who was not too keen with this idea.
